Land of Fire, East China Sea.

A three-masted sailing ship loaded with cargo sailed to Land of Whirlpools.

Bow.

Kakashi, Yamato, and Might Guy stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

Not far away, Jiraiya sat cross-legged on a container and talked to a middle-aged man with a big belly.

The weather was good today, the sun was shining, and the sea breeze was blowing.

The scenery on the sea was also very good.

But these beautiful things could not dispel the sorrow of Kakashi and the other three.

Their mission was to recover the bodies of the first and second generations in the hands of Orochimaru.

Those two specific entities would be important materials for the second generation to realize a certain technique. If successful, the strength of the first and second generations would be restored, and their strength would catch up with the heyday.

This was a top-notch event for Konoha.

After all, Konoha now relied on these two to support it. The stronger they were, the safer Konoha, which had suffered heavy losses one after another, would be.

Jiraiya, who was not far away, seemed to be extremely relaxed.

He was chatting happily with the middle-aged man.

"Hahaha, uncle, you are really an expert. You are so right. I am really excited to hear you talk about the characteristics of beauties from different countries. When we arrive in the Land of Whirlpools, I will definitely treat you to a few drinks." The middle-aged man laughed while patting his belly.

Jiraiya was in the same state. He said proudly, "Little brother, I have traveled to various countries for many years and I have seen many beauties. I will listen to you. Let's go for a drink and talk slowly when the time comes."

"No problem, I will cover all the accommodation and meals for you and your companions." The middle-aged man said generously.

Jiraiya: "Will this cost you too much? Although I am the boss of this ship, I earn my money through hard work. It is not easy. Just treat us to a meal, and we can do the rest by ourselves."

The middle-aged man said proudly: "Hey, brother, you underestimate me. Although I am not a wealthy businessman, I still have some money. Speaking of which, I have to thank the new government of the Whirlpool Country."

A gleam of light flashed in Jiraiya's eyes: "How can I explain this? I work hard in business and earn hard-earned money. What does it have to do with the government?"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked unfathomable: "Brother, you are not an expert in this. Let me test you, what is the most important thing in business?"

Jiraiya pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Fame? Sales? ? Product quality? You really stumped me with this question. "

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "They are all wrong. For ordinary businessmen like us, safety is the most important thing. Think about it carefully. You are driving a boat and singing, and you have not had time to spend the money you earned. As a result, you are robbed by pirates, bandits, horse thieves and the like halfway. Not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but if you lose your life, wouldn't you feel wronged?"

Jiraiya nodded, "That makes sense. What does this have to do with the new government?"

Middle-aged man: "Oh, if you want to talk about this new government, it's really good. The new rulers got rid of the aristocracy as soon as they came on stage and redistributed all the resources in the country.

The people of the Whirlpool Country are blessed. Now everyone has their own land, and they don't have to pay for the past three years. Taxes, and I even heard that taxes will be very low in three years.

Compared to today, look at what it was like before.

When the Kingdom of Thunder was still the emperor of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the whole country was suffocated by the heavy taxes. Those nobles and daimyo should have pleaded for their people, but in fact they did collude with the Kingdom of Thunder and exploited the people of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Even merchants like us were exploited very badly. As long as we travel on this sea, we will be exploited. For example, I could make a profit of 100,000 taels for a shipload of goods, but after passing through the Kingdom of Whirlpool, I first have to pay tolls, berthing fees, trading taxes and Thunder God Orders. After a few steps, my profit will be reduced by 50%. Isn't it terrible?

Not paying is not enough. Once you don't cooperate or smuggle... If you sneak across the sea, you will definitely be robbed by pirates. At the least, your money will be emptied, and at the worst, your ship will be burned and people will be killed. At that time, those of us who traveled by sea really lived a very cautious life.

But now, the new government of the Whirlpool Country has abolished many miscellaneous taxes. Although a certain commercial tax is still collected, we earn much more than before, and the most important thing is that the pirates nearby have been wiped out by the legendary man. From now on, we don’t have to worry about the problem of pirates. "

Jiraiya nodded: "I see, but who are you referring to in the legend?"

Middle-aged man: "Of course it’s Lord Uzumaki Naruto. Although on the surface it seems that the Uzumaki clan has recovered and then purged the national atmosphere, I have heard some inside information that the legendary Lord Naruto is thisThe leader of all changes. "

Jiraiya frowned and said: "I have heard of Uzumaki Naruto, but I heard that his reputation is not very good and he is a shame to the ninja world. Can such a person be trusted?"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "Shame of the ninja world? Brother, don't be funny. No matter how he is the shame of the ninja world, what does it have to do with ordinary people like you and me? As long as he continues to maintain the policy of the Whirlpool Country, I will support him even if he is a monster and respect him like a god. Tsk, brother, to be honest with you, although I am a Fire Country, if this country can maintain this state for a few years, I will buy a house and settle in the Whirlpool Country. "

Jiraiya asked curiously: "Why?"

Middle-aged man: "That's still necessary. Of course, I am optimistic about the development of this country. There are no high taxes and no oppression by the nobles. The national policy of the Whirlpool Country is "fairness, justice, people-oriented, and equality for all". As long as we stick to this path, this place will sooner or later become a paradise that everyone yearns for. However, we still have to observe what happens. After all, the new government has only been in office for a month. We have to wait and see what happens. "

Somehow, after Jiraiya finished talking to this person, a trace of relief flashed through his heart.

At least, Naruto did not go astray.

At the same time, more curiosity arose in his heart.

What exactly does Naruto want to do?

After that, the middle-aged man had to handle official business. Jiraiya said hello and watched the middle-aged man leave.

Then, Kakashi and the other two came over.

Jiraiya told the three people the information he had learned.

Several people also had different thoughts.

The Whirlpool Country is destined to become the center of the storm.

Many people sent spies after the Whirlpool Country was pacified, Intelligence personnel intervened to obtain the movements of the organization headed by Uzumaki Naruto.

This was the case for the Land of Fire.

The same was true for others.

While the Konoha people were still on the road, a ship carrying envoys from the Land of Wind had already docked at the pier of March Rain City.

Four people got off the ship.

The four people dressed up as ninjas.

After getting off the ship, the few people followed the guidance to the registration office.

Here, someone took photos of them, and then everyone registered their names and origins one by one.

Finally, they filled in the last two words in the column of the purpose of visiting the Land of Whirlpools
