Chapter 17 The History of Inheritance (1)(1/3)
The Kingdom of Ghosts is a fenced-in construction site.
"All things are attracted by heaven!"
Stone bricks flew in the air one after another, and were neatly stacked on the four-wheeled vehicle under the control of magical gravity.
Such a magical scene attracted exclamations and applause from a large number of workers.
Facing the endless compliments from the people around him, Nagato felt slightly ashamed.
Because he used important ninjutsu for fighting in construction site work, he always felt that the ninjutsu he had worked so hard to practice was wasted.
Although the workers around him had kind eyes and did not think there was anything strange about ninjas using ninjutsu to help transport stone bricks, Nagato was not used to the rhythm here yet, so naturally he could not sympathize with it.
But when I picked up the flyer in my hand, I suppressed my shyness for the time being.
——Recruiting bricklayers with integrity, ninjas are preferred. Three free meals during the working period, and a daily salary of 10,000 taels.
After several days of long journey, he and Konan arrived at Oni Country, a country far away from Rain Country, a special country that enjoys the status of a neutral country in the ninja world.
In this country, the culture of shrines and witches can be seen everywhere, and the strong atmosphere of mysticism allowed Nagato to enjoy an exotic scenery.
But this appreciation could not last long after all, because he and Xiaonan came to this country with extremely important tasks on their shoulders.
The largest chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Ghosts is the Ziyuanhua Chamber of Commerce, named after the capital city of Ziyuan City. Their target this time, Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Company, is also affiliated with this chamber of commerce.
It is a large-scale chamber of commerce group spanning many countries.
They are all famous internationally.
It is said that when Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. was initially established, the publicity and promotion of this chamber of commerce was indispensable.
All in all, in terms of the degree of financial convergence, Akatsuki is someone who needs to look up to him.
Konan was responsible for the supply of medicine, while Nagato wandered around Shion Castle alone.
Different from the people of the Kingdom of Rain, the people of the Kingdom of Ghosts have plump faces and optimistic attitudes towards life, which are incomparable to the poor and hard-hit areas of the Kingdom of Rain.
This made Nagato envious.
But we also know that this is the special right of a neutral country, and it brings various advantages and benefits.
Judging from the geographical environment of the Land of Rain, it is impossible to become a neutral country.
Whenever a major country launches a war, the Country of Rain will be the first country to bear the brunt.
The economy collapsed, the people were displaced, hungry, and domestic politics were corrupt. It would be no exaggeration to say that the daimyo and many nobles became puppets of the great powers.
Even so, the people of the Country of Rain have never been defeated. In times of crisis, there are always people who stand up and set an example for the suffering people of the Country of Rain.
When he thought of this, Nagato's heart was filled with the power to fight.
As the output of chakra increased, more stone bricks flew towards the four-wheeled transport vehicle under the control of his ninjutsu 'All Things Tension', and were neatly placed for the workers responsible for transporting them to push them away.
It wasn't until dusk in the afternoon, when the sun set, that the person in charge of the construction site asked everyone to stop working and start settling today's wages.
Nagato took the salary he received at the construction site in his hand and found that it was not the 10,000 taels written on the flyer, but a full salary of 50,000 taels.
"Well, it seems like there are too many..."
Nagato was about to return the extra 40,000 taels when the person in charge of the construction site stopped him and said with a smile: "Take it, kid, you have done a workload that even dozens of people may not be able to finish by yourself, so the extra
Forty thousand taels is considered an extra reward."
If Nagato doesn't take the money, he will feel uneasy.
Thanks to Nagato, tomorrow's work seems to be completed.
"……Thanks."
Nagato is not a talkative person, but is very sensitive to people's good intentions and malice.
He could feel the enthusiasm and sincerity of the people here, which were very different from the people of the Rain Country who were in need of charity.
Holding 50,000 taels, Nagato felt a heavy sense of satisfaction in his hands.
In the memory of his life, he had never received such a large amount of money.
Thinking of Xiaonan's debt of 10 million taels to Ziyuanhua Pharmaceutical Company, which means that he only needs to work on the construction site for two hundred days to almost pay off that part of the debt for Xiaonan.
Is this the power of the Samsara Eye? Nagato looked at his hands and felt this way in his heart.
He had never discovered before that the power of the Samsara Eye could make money so easily.
It's just that the country of ghosts is also a strange country when it comes to recruiting ninjas to work on construction sites.
Nagato thinks so.
In his past consciousness, ninjas existed as tools for combat. Even Akatsuki mostly took jobs related to combat.
Eliminating the bandits within the Kingdom of Rain, as well as dealing with the wandering ninjas who are doing sabotage in the Kingdom of Rain, are Akatsuki's main cleanup targets.
Not to mention the ninja village organizations of the five major countries, they have formed a more complete mission system, which represents a country's military strength and thus determines its status in the ninja world.
When working on a previous construction site, Nagato discovered no less than a dozen people who were ninjas by profession. According to their conversations, they seemed to be special workers who were stationed here, and their ninjutsu characteristics were also very suitable for various tasks on the construction site.
For complex jobs, it is said that special workers are specially trained.
This made Nagato feel puzzled. It was not that ninjas could not do some ordinary people's work, but it was only a temporary job, and the main job was still focused on fighting.
This is the first time Nagato has seen a country like the Demon Country that specializes in cultivating this type of special type of ninja. It is inevitable that he will have a novel experience when he sees it for the first time.
"Nagato, where have you been? I've been waiting here for you for a long time."
We gathered in front of a hotel in Ziyuan City. Nagato arrived late, and Konan complained very much.
"Sorry, this city is so prosperous that I got a little carried away for a while."
Nagato scratched his head and apologized to Konan.
"Really, we are not here for tourism."
“How is the purchase of medication going?”
Nagato asked about the purchase of drugs.
"I have purchased everything. Sure enough, the price of medicines in this country is much cheaper than elsewhere. I have saved a lot of money than expected."
Xiaonan seemed very satisfied, with a smile on her face.
Although the long journey was a bit tiring, being able to purchase such a large amount of complete medicines and even having some funds left over made this trip to the Kingdom of Ghosts really a right choice.
"That's great."
"We have always been short of funds for Akatsuki's activities, and now we can finally save some for emergencies."
Seeing Konan's really happy look that day, Nagato was slightly touched in his heart.
——At any time, I only need to protect this smile and everyone’s dreams.
He swore silently in his heart.
The burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, and the more Nagato could feel the firmness of his desire for peace and the elimination of war.
"Xiaonan..."
"What's wrong, Nagato?"
Hearing Nagato call his name, Konan looked up at him in confusion.
"No, it's nothing. I was thinking that we have achieved fruitful results this time, and Yahiko and everyone will be very happy."
"Of course they are happy. After all, they have so much money left this time. However, Yahiko goes to negotiate with Sunagakure and Konoha's ninjas, so there should be nothing wrong..."
Having said this, Xiaonan showed an obvious look of worry on her face.
Those are the ninjas of the five major countries, and they are fundamentally different from the ninjas of their small countries.
Neither Konoha nor Sunagakure are behemoths they can provoke.
"Even Lord Hanzo had to compromise with Konoha..."
The leader of Rain Hidden Village, Sansho Hanzo, is a legendary ninja renowned in the Land of Rain.
Even he compromised on the war situation because of the strength of Konoha, and the Akatsuki organization, which was insignificant in the Land of Rain, could not reverse the will of those powerful ninjas no matter how hard they thought.
Konan suddenly felt that it was really a risky move for Yahiko to go to negotiate with the ninjas of Sunagakure and Konoha.
"Yahiko will definitely succeed! Even if we fail this time, there will be another time. As long as we are still fighting, Akatsuki's will will be passed down from generation to generation. Sooner or later, true peace will be brought about."
Nagato's eyes were extremely determined.
Xiaonan also nodded. If even they themselves admitted failure, they would really be shameless in seeing their past selves.
"Then let's quickly return to the Country of Rain. That is our home ground."

In the quiet room where the dragon vein sealing device is stored.
From the closed eye device, purple light seeps out, which is the color of dragon vein chakra, which is different from the color of ordinary chakra.
Liuli appeared here alone, staring at the sealing device of Dragon Vein, seeming to be thinking about something.
"You shouldn't have any thoughts about the remaining half of the dragon's vein power, right?"
