Nagato stretched out his hand to stop Konan, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Konan, even if you beat him, it's useless."

Xiao Nan finally stopped her hand, but there was still anger and grievance on her face.

I always feel that my good intentions and those of everyone else have been ruined by these people.

It was the first time that Nagato encountered this kind of problem, but he didn't know how to face it, but he understood that even if he beat this man, nothing would be changed.

Even if the supplies are taken away, his family will still survive, including two children.

Next, Nagato and Konan went to distribute the supplies to the rest of the people, but fortunately they did not encounter the same unreasonable troubles as before.

“Finally it’s all divided.”

Xiaonan let out a long breath.

"But as the war comes, it will become more and more difficult to collect supplies in the future. The organization's funds will not be much left."

Nagato said this.

"Yes, this is indeed a big problem."

Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel distressed.

Everyone at Akatsuki has finally reached this point, and no one wants to give up and start over.

Because they believe that under the leadership of leader Yahiko, Akatsuki's ideas will be recognized by more and more people and eventually change the country.

However, it now seems that this important task, not to mention future success, is just the first step, and it is so difficult, and peace is still far away.

Xiao's job has several parts.

Konan and Nagato are responsible for distributing supplies, because they have the best temperaments among Akatsuki.

Although the leader Yahiko is also highly trusted, he has more important things to do.

Whether it is looking for ninjas to negotiate between Konoha and Sunagakure, or promoting Akatsuki's ideas in the Kingdom of Rain, he, the leader, must be personally responsible for making everyone agree with Akatsuki, gathering more power, and changing the Kingdom of Rain.

world.

Even though they know that this road is extremely difficult and may even cost their lives at any time, everyone in Akatsuki embarks on this road without hesitation.

They all firmly believe that all hardships will be rewarded, and the current distress and frustration are just a test of their will and body, and the future will definitely be better.

"Xiaonan, where are we going next?"

Nagato asked.

"The next step is to buy medicine. Many of the villagers rescued before were seriously injured. And our own people also need to use it. Hmm... I always feel that the budget is getting tighter and tighter."

Xiao Nan smiled bitterly.

Xiao's source of income basically comes from the release of tasks. Although Xiao often helps others for free, there are also enthusiastic villagers who will pay them or use some materials instead.

Furthermore, when cleaning up bandits, the silver earned from working on the bandits will also be converted into funds for Akatsuki's activities.

Xiaonan learned ninjutsu in the past and believed that the world is big and she can go anywhere.

There is no need to be too demanding about money, an external thing.

The will of a ninja lies in endurance.

This is what their teacher, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, taught them.

No matter how difficult it is, with my ninja abilities, I can survive in the wild.

But after establishing Akatsuki, I realized that many things in this world cannot be changed by relying on the power of ninjas.

Ninjas are also part of reality, and in reality, money is needed in many places.

Without money, Xiao's activities cannot be carried out and it cannot help more people.

In short, it can be summed up in one word: poor.

If Xiao's activity funds could be higher, the work efficiency would be much higher.

However, there are no business talents in Xiao, and it is impossible for those wealthy businessmen to finance their activities.

Overall, Xiao's various activities are a loss-making business.

Taking money out of the hands of greedy businessmen is simply a dream.

Nagato also sighed, there is still a long way to go.

After being frustrated for a while, the two of them gathered their spirits and set off towards the nearby prosperous town.

This place has not been affected by the war from beginning to end. Although the economy will be depressed due to the impact of the war, it can be regarded as one of the few pure lands in the Kingdom of Rain.

Sunagakure ninjas can be seen everywhere here, and the reason is that this place is temporarily controlled by the ninjas of Sunagakure Village.

The Sunagakure ninja's supplies were replenished by themselves on one hand, and on the other hand they were extracted from the citizens of the Land of Rain.

Even though the people of the Land of Rain were very angry about this, they did not dare to say anything openly in the face of the oppression of the Sunagakure ninjas.

Because the actions of Sunagakure ninjas within the territory of Rain Country are legal, this order was personally issued by the Daimyo of Rain Country.

Sunagakure ninjas were allowed to control some cities in the Land of Rain during the war.

The Sunagakure ninjas are responsible for protecting the security of these cities, and residents are also obliged to provide services to the Sunagakure ninjas, such as handing over important supplies for use by the Sunagakure ninjas.

In the city, the few important buildings not controlled by the Sunagakure ninjas are probably the neutral country's pharmacies and weapons stores.

The Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company of the Kingdom of Ghosts has branches in various countries, and the underworld weapons dealers of the Kingdom of Iron have also set their sights on the Kingdom of Rain, a land favored by war, and come to sell weapons.

In terms of weapons, Xiaonan doesn't have to worry. Akatsuki's reserves of Ninja are still very sufficient. Except for the shortage of the more precious detonating charms, there is no shortage of kunai and shurikens.

However, medicines are the big deal in Xiaonan's eyes.

Every time I come here to buy medicine, I feel very distressed.

It can be said that after purchasing this medicine, Xiao's activity funds are basically empty, with nothing left.

In the next period of time, I will also need to live a tight life.

Ziyuanhua Branch Pharmacy is located on a prosperous street in the city. It is a tall building with four floors.

Pedestrians hurriedly walked on the street, wearing raincoats.

Xiaonan and Nagato entered the pharmacy, put their raincoats on the shelf at the back door, and then went to talk to the branch manager here about purchasing medicines.

The person in charge of the meeting with Xiao Nan was a young woman who looked to be in her thirties. She had a somewhat plump body and gave people a friendly and gentle impression.

She had some impressions of Xiaonan, a ninja from the Land of Rain, because it was not the first time that Xiaonan came here to discuss buying medicines with her, and she had been here several times before.

“Five percent increase in drug prices!?”

After hearing the rich woman's offer, Xiao Nan was stunned.

The wealthy woman ignored Xiao Nan's surprised look, but nodded and said in a calm tone: "Now the pharmaceutical market in the Country of Rain is in short supply, and the production at the headquarters can't keep up, so the sales price will naturally rise accordingly."

Although the rich woman stated the reason, Xiaonan was still a little unwilling.

The money she brought this time was just enough to buy that batch of medicines. If the price increased by 5%, she would definitely not be able to buy this batch of medicines.

She knew this was the cause.

Sunagakure and Konoha are at war, and some nobles and civilians are also buying in large quantities. In this war era, the more prepared the better.

What's more, the medicines produced by Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company are indeed more effective than other pharmaceutical companies.

Even the five major ninja villages allowed them to set up branches there. One can imagine the reputation and influence of this pharmaceutical company.

"But……"

When Xiaonan was about to say something, the rich woman interrupted her again:

"In addition, when Miss Xiaonan came to buy medicines the last few times, she made several accounts here, and they were almost due. I hope Miss Xiaonan can pay back the money she owes as soon as possible, otherwise she will be blacklisted by our company.

.After that, the words started to sound a bit unpleasant.”

"..."

An embarrassed look appeared on Xiaonan's face.

Because Xiao's funds have never been sufficient, the first few times she came to buy medicine, she always paid some money and signed an IOU.

Including the monthly interest payments, it is a large amount of money for her personally.

Nagato heard this from the side and glanced at Konan, finding that Konan was avoiding his eyes.

Nagato had never heard Konan mention this matter.

Xiaonan, who had gone back to buy medicine before, didn't mention it to everyone at Xiao. Did she plan to carry it out by herself?

"Let me be lenient. Before June this year, I hope Miss Xiaonan can make up the money she owes."

said the rich woman.

"I understand. By the way, what will happen if it's overdue?"

"Don't you want to pay back after the due date?" The rich woman frowned, then relaxed and said: "On this point, please rest assured, Miss Xiao Nan, our company has debt collectors who are specifically responsible for this kind of thing. Their force and means can definitely make Xiao Nan

Miss satisfied."
