All this is because the Country of Waves did not give the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce a chance to prove its innocence. Instead, it continued to suppress the business of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce in the Country of Waves in accordance with the instructions of the Country of Fire.

"This is the truth of the matter. Lord Daimyo, if we assist the Country of Fire to drive away the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, then the Country of Fire will be more unscrupulous in attacking the internal affairs of the Country of Waves. On the contrary, if we retain the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce,

The Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, backed by the Kingdom of Ghosts, can be a powerful support in limiting the Kingdom of Fire’s interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Waves.”

"What does that have to do with your mixing of grains with stones?"

If this matter is not handled properly, those untouchables will definitely come and cause trouble again.

Although the cells in Daming Mansion are large, it is impossible to arrest all the troublemakers.

Sometimes, you still have to consider the emotions of these untouchables.

"Because we want to send a signal to the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association."

"Signal?"

"The Kingdom of Waves is not completely bound to the Kingdom of Fire. As long as we pass this signal to the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, I believe they will understand our intentions and take the next step. The name of the Kingdom of Fire hopes that we will calm down."

We can't resist the people's rebellious mood on the surface, but we can hide it through practical means and secretly unite with the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce. We can even help the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to gain more reputation among the people."

"Wouldn't this cause problems?"

The Daimyo of Wave Country was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, do you think that those untouchables can have the power to threaten us if they unite? The Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, a businessman doing business. As long as we are willing to unite with the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce, they will not go to those groups again.

Untouchables mingle together."

The official smiled confidently.

This is a multiple-choice question where you can choose the right answer without having to think about it.

Because of the cooperation with the Daming Palace and the nobles, the Shion Flower Merchant Guild can make more profits in the Country of Waves, just like the merchant alliance on the isolated island.

On the contrary, if you cooperate with that group of untouchables, not only will you not make any money, but you may also transfer money into it.

What can a group of untouchables who can only cultivate the land and do some menial work get from them?

Officials who have traveled thousands of miles to do business in the Country of Waves and have worked closely with countless businessmen do not believe that the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce came here to do charity.

The reason why they show kindness to the untouchables is because the Shion Flower Merchant Guild is taking a long-term view to catch the big fish. They are more greedy than 90% of the merchants in the ninja world.

The Daimyo of Wave Country nodded.

"In this case, I'll leave this matter to you. If those untouchables come to make trouble again, I will send people to drive them out and let the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Guild appease them, so as to restrain the Fire Country."

"Your Majesty is wise, then, we have important things to attend to, so we will take our leave now."

The three officials left the room with visible joy in their eyes.

After exiting the room, one of the officials smiled and said: "In this way, the task assigned to us by Mr. Cardo has been completed. I didn't expect that just by saying such words, we could get a reward of 100 million taels. In this way

Money is too easy."

Another official smiled and said: "Of course. As long as we pry open the defense line here, the current losses of the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association can be squeezed out of those untouchables."

The three officials did not pay attention to this.

On the contrary, the more aggressively the Aster Flower Dealers will harvest, the more 'protection money' they will be given.

Anyway, they are never the ones who suffer. As for the life and death of the untouchables, it is not within their scope of consideration.

"That side of the Fire Country..."

"Let's fool around for a while. When the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Guild runs out of money for us to make money, it won't be too late to get back together with the Country of Fire."

Although it is not clear why the Country of Fire and the Country of Ghosts are interested in the land under their feet at the same time, this does not prevent them, a group of local snakes, from using their authority to make profits from these two countries.

Whether it's the Country of Fire or the Country of Ghosts, whatever comes from the fingers of any country can make these little nobles extremely rich.

Late, January 21st.

The harsh winter has not passed yet, and there is still frost and fog in the Land of Cloud Hidden in the Kingdom of Thunder.

From a distance, you can see the dark mountains deep in the frost and mist, which is Kumogakure's famous Unlei Gorge.

Yunlei Gorge, which used to be filled with thunderous thunder in the sky, has also stopped and become silent during this season.

The buildings of Yunyin Village are located among mountains and ravines, and the construction terrain is very strange, giving people a shocking feeling.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Shiraishi came here.

The New Year has not completely passed yet, and most Kumogakure ninjas are spending their leisure time on vacation, spending time with their families.

Only a small number of Kumogakure ninjas are still changing shifts to maintain the huge war machine of Kumogakure Village. Even during the Chinese New Year, they are still busy and rarely have time to rest.

Because it was a secret visit to Yunyin, neither Shiraishi nor the senior officials of Yunyin Village held any grand reception ceremony.

That way, it will only let people know that the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder are once again closely united.

If the Fire Country knew about it in advance, many changes would probably occur.

Neither the Kingdom of Ghosts nor the Kingdom of Thunder is enough to use the power of one family to completely knock the Kingdom of Fire off the altar.

Both parties are well aware of this.

This became the reason for the in-depth cooperation this time.

Just sending ninja troops to station at the border cannot put more pressure on them.

What's more, Konoha Ninja Village also has a plan to deal with it.

The interval between the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War was very short. It can be said that they basically did not allow the participating countries to rest, and they broke out continuously, making all the major countries participating in the war exhausted.

The Kingdom of Thunder finally withdrew from the quagmire of the war, so it was naturally unwilling to start the Fourth Ninja War.

Then, the way to break the situation becomes particularly important.

The one who greeted Shiraishi was Jonin Darui, a close confidant of the Fourth Raikage.

The opponent is a blood successor Arashi ninja, who also inherited the black thunder ability of the third generation Raikage. Although he is young and can be considered a young man in front of Shiraishi, a senior in the ninja world, his strength is higher than that of Kumogakure jounin.

, and it is also second to none.

To have such a Jonin come to greet him in person shows the respect the Fourth Raikage has for him.

After all, this is also the honeymoon period for the cooperation between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Thunder. As military leaders, the two parties naturally have close ties in private.

This period of cooperation has generally satisfied the top leaders of both countries.

Darui brought Shiraishi to a private conference room in the Raikage Building. This was a separate conference room used by the Fourth Raikage to receive distinguished guests. The space was not large, but it seemed to attach great importance to it.

The only person following Bai Shi is Tian Yu Nu, the clone of the wind. For Bai Shi, Tian Yu Nu alone is enough to protect him on the surface.

And on his body, there is always a silhouette of Yin dancing.

With these two clones as escorts, Shiraishi traveled from the Kingdom of Ghosts lightly and arrived at Yunyin Village as quickly as possible to determine the next step of cooperation as soon as possible.

"Please wait a moment, Raikage-sama will be here later."

The person in charge of receiving Shiraishi in the conference room was Kumogakure Jounin Mabuyi.

The personal secretary of the Fourth Raikage, masters the very rare space-time ninjutsu - the art of heavenly sending. When there is enough chakra, he can instantly transfer objects to the place he wants without setting up a mark in advance.

.From the perspective of transporting resources, it is probably more convenient than Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique.

To transfer materials using the Flying Thunder God's Technique, you need to set up a mark in advance, otherwise the transfer will not be possible.

But Kumogakure's Heavenly Sending Technique can easily do this. In the past, Kumogakure Village relied on this ninjutsu to trick Ayane once.

As a shinobi village in a large country, Kumogakure's heritage is naturally impressive.

Shiraishi nodded and did not answer. He just waited quietly in the conference room for the arrival of the Fourth Raikage.

Mabuyi was also meticulous and stood beside Darui, with no desire to talk to Shiraishi.

About five minutes later, after Shiraishi drank half a cup of tea, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

"Sorry, I wasted a little time practicing in Yunlei Gorge. I didn't keep you waiting long, right?"

The Fourth Raikage was shirtless, wearing a towel to wipe his sweat, and walked in swaggeringly.

He has strong dark muscles and looks very powerful.

Just by looking directly, you can feel the powerful chakra rushing towards you.

monster.

With such huge chakra, which is comparable to the level of a tailed beast, it is hard to believe that this is something that humans can do.

Whether it is the third generation Raikage or the fourth generation Raikage, their physiques and chakra amounts are all extraordinary beings.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't wait long."

Shiraishi answered with a smile.

After Shiraishi finished speaking, Mabuyi touched her forehead, looking like she had a headache, and said, "Um, Raikage-sama, you are very rude in front of ladies. You can't wear your clothes properly.

Get up?"

If this continues, what will the guests coming from afar think?
To be continued...
