Poverty Alleviation Princess

Although the tone of the old man in front of him was not angry at all, judging from the surrounding people and their cold aura, they were completely ready for the 'negotiation breakdown'.

Even an ordinary person who is not a ninja, Yuan, can feel the tension that is about to explode, and the bad-tempered native Uchiha Madara beside her is even more ready to fight.

He has no personal hatred with these ninjas of the country of water, but he will not be attacked without responding because of this.

Even if it is not easy for adults to argue with children, it is still possible to teach them the principles of superiority and inferiority.

Only the person being questioned seemed to have not noticed anything, and he generously took two steps forward and stretched out his hand: "Ah, Lord Bailian, it's been a long time."

'Ninja World No.1', who didn't know whether to say it was nerve-wracking or lacklustre, greeted him as if meeting an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Isn't this the first time we've met alone since the last Five Kages convention? It's good to see you still look so healthy."

However, the other party did not respond to his enthusiasm. The old man with gray beard and hair still stared at him closely, "Let's put this kind of insignificant compliment for later. Master Hokage is here, why?"

"I'm on an escort mission." Senshou Zhujian replied without a second of hesitation.He's not skipping work!He's here for a mission!

His answer was too straightforward, and the content of the answer was so unbelievable that the whole world seemed to be silent for two seconds.

"……escort?"

After a few seconds of silence, Bai Lian repeated dryly.

At the same time, Realization spun around the three people present.

A man in a cloak who couldn't see the shade, a young lady who looked clean and without a trace of blood.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you need to use Hokage to escort.

As the pinnacle of combat power in Quannin Village, Shadow would of course accept missions, but all missions that required Shadow to take action, even a calm old ninja like Bailian couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.

I respect you as Senju Hashirama, I respect you as No.1 in the ninja world, so you answer me like this?

A strong murderous aura surged out from Bai Lian's body, and the ninjas from the Water Country who followed were startled at first, and then they were all ready to fight.Just wait for Master Mizukage to lead.

"Well, could it be that you are the water shadow of Wuyin Village?"

A girl's voice suddenly broke the deadlock.

Bai Lian paid some attention to the eldest lady whom he had just glanced over and stopped paying attention to.

"It's the old man."

He nodded.

"That's great." Ah Yuan was really happy, and it took no effort to get here. I heard that Wuyin Village in the Land of Water is hidden in the mist all year round, and the specific location is not known to outsiders.If you want to entrust, you have to find a connector or something.

"I have a task I want to entrust, is it convenient to talk about it now? How about we go to the hotel over there and book a private room? I will pay for it." She packed the expenses very generously, like a silly boy from a landlord's family.

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Water Shadow White Lotus: "..."

Other water country ninjas: "..."

Unexpected things are not unheard of, but today's...

How come from Hokage to this young lady, they all look so evil?

So weird.

But it's not a problem to stay in a stalemate here, so in the end they moved to the hotel designated by Bailian.Giving them the right to choose, in addition to respect, is also to express that they have no malicious intentions and sincerely want to cooperate.

Although in the eyes of Uchiha Madara, this is completely useless - if he and Zhujian really want to do it, it is said to be the hotel chosen by the other party, even if it is a secret room full of organs, don't even think about trapping the two of them, So even if he knew the other party's intentions, he didn't care.

Arriving at the private room of the hotel, A Yuan boldly ordered a large table of dishes.Basically pointing to everything on the hotel menu from top to bottom.

The conversation is the conversation, and the special food still needs to be tried to understand.

Then, while waiting for the food to be served, A Yuan simply expressed his intention.

The main thing is to entrust the collection of marine treasures such as pearls and corals, as well as the express delivery of fresh products.Of course, dry goods also have to be transported, but compared to the risky collection of marine treasures and the time-consuming fresh transportation, the matter of dry goods is a small problem, and it will not be too late to talk about it after she has selected a supplier and a production workshop. .

"Also, I'm a little busy and I want you to help me." A Yuan said, and motioned Senshou Bashima to take out the name information he had compiled from the sealed scroll. "Of course I'm not asking you to work for nothing. If you agree, I will also pay the corresponding level of reward according to the difficulty."

Sure enough.

Bai Lian narrowed her eyes.

It's not surprising to hear such words, rather, such a development is in line with their previous thinking.

Being able to use Hokage as a guard must be a secret mission from the Land of Fire.What I never expected was that this gentle and harmless young lady would take up the role of 'key person'.

But people can't judge by their appearance, it's their own appearance.

Seeing Bai Lian nodding, the young man standing beside him with his eyes closed all the time handed the married document to Shui Ying Bai Lian.

Let me see, what kind of secret operations are going on in Konoha Village and the Land of Fire?

With such thoughts in mind, this aged but still powerful Ninja of the Water Nation skipped over the words on the paper at a glance, and just looked at it, but his eyes opened wider and wider.

Of course, this is not to say that he was shocked by the 'secrets' in it, but he found that what was written on it was not the confidential information or cooperation contracts about countries or wars he imagined, but a long list.

A list with name, age and gender, and information such as the names of relatives and places of origin in memory.

And these lists, without exception, are all from the country of water and nearby islands, as well as people who are suspected to be from the country of water.

"This is……?"

A Yuan: "That's right, you've probably heard the news that Konoha's ninjas have been besieging and suppressing many evil forces near Konoha Village and the Land of Fire."

Bai Lian nodded: "I heard a little."

Ninjas are no strangers to missions such as strangling bandits, but most of them just wipe out the bandits who attacked, and there are not many bandit nests, but there are not many.

After all, at this level, at least several good ninjas must be used, and the commission price will not be low.Ordinary people can't afford to entrust, and big men don't bother to entrust.

Unless the bandits really pissed off the rich adults.

That's what they thought at the time.

Thinking that these forces offended a certain big man, they would make this big man furious and send ninjas to exterminate them.

But looking at it now, maybe there is something else hidden?

A Yuan coughed lightly: "It's like this. In the beginning, because some bandits attacked me while I was buying goods, I suffered a considerable (spiritual) loss, so after I escaped from danger, I entrusted Konoha's ninja to Pay these bandits. But I didn't expect to meet dozens of poor hostages who were kidnapped here in the bandit's lair. At that time, I felt that I couldn't just leave them there, so I took them back. As a result, some people said My relatives were taken away by bandits from other places—so in line with the principle of saving people to the end, we went to take another den of bandits.”

Bai Lian: "..."

He could understand it before, so why did he feel something was wrong later?

Seeing that Bai Lian didn't intend to use the terminal, A Yuan simply continued, although of course she omitted the fact that she led people to evacuate the small coffers of the bandits and dragged them to open up wasteland and build roads.

"...In short, it was later discovered that many of the rescued people were from the country of water or may have relatives in the country of water, so I counted them all, and took advantage of the opportunity of this negotiation to bring them here, hoping to borrow Wuyin Village has a powerful intelligence system to check the hometowns of these people and whether there are any relatives alive, and if so, I hope to reunite their families."

When she said this, A Yuan's expression was very serious, without the slightest hint of a joke. She looked at the old man with white beard and hair, and sincerely asked, "Please."

Immediately afterwards, Senshou Zhujian, who had not spoken all this time, lowered his head seriously: "Please, please give these people a chance to reunite with their families."

Bai Lian was silent for a long time, and finally only left a sentence: "I will think about it."

Although Bai Lian left, she didn't completely withdraw.

The euphemistic name is 'being a guide', but both parties know that these people are actually staying here to monitor them.

Because they had guessed this possibility a long time ago, Ah Yuan and Zhujian simply accepted the kindness -- not to mention that it was really a good thing for Ah Yuan.

Although you can observe the market by yourself, seeing is believing, but the suggestions and introductions of others are also very necessary references.

Although ninjas are not valued by the merchant nobles, the information they have is indeed the most well-informed.

Maybe some new business opportunities can be obtained from the information of the ninjas.

On the other hand, after returning, Bai Lian started to deal with the accumulated work.Although "Kage" is the highest combat power of a village ninja, in fact, after becoming a "Kage", their main job has become to deal with paperwork that seems to never see an end.

"...Do you really believe Hokage, and what the young lady said?"

Seeing that Lord Bailian showed no signs of continuing to discuss this matter, the long black-haired Ninja of Water Ninja couldn't help asking in a low voice.

He is the apprentice of Mizukage's deputy, Guideng Huanyue, and also an assistant who followed Mizukage to participate in the Five Kages Conference when Master Guideng Huanyue was in a coma.

It's not that he questioned Mizukage's decision, it's just that he couldn't believe that this matter could be 'so simple'.

The majestic Hokage-sama, would condescend to accompany a young lady who is not even a nobleman to "investigate the market" in the land of water, and it is even more unbelievable that with the company of Hokage Senjubashima, she would even think of entrusting the land of water ninja to do tasks.

If you really want to collect pearls and corals, a water country ninja who is more familiar with the nearby waters will be more suitable, but if you just want pearls and corals, entrusting Senjujuma's younger brother who is good at water escape and research is not a good idea. can't do it.

Is it really necessary to go to the Land of Water to give money to the ninjas in the Land of Water?

And that list.

——Is there really someone who would go to so much trouble to let someone who has nothing to do with them go home?

He just couldn't believe it.

"I don't think it is necessary for Senju Bashirama, who is Hokage, to lie." Bai Lian stopped the pen in her hand, "No matter from the perspective of personality or strength, there is no need for him to tell such a lie—at most, There is still hidden information."

"As for whether to believe..."

He looks out the window.

"It's not actually a question we should think about." It's a question of how they should do it.
