Akabane didn’t think much about Land-of-Rivers before.
It’s too chaotic here. The whole country is full of rebels and wandering ninjas, and now there are more wandering warriors.
It can be said that the national rules are completely useless here, but the underground rules are more authoritative.
However, when he set foot on this land again and saw the many changes that had taken place in Chaochuan Town due to One Piece, he suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart——
Land-of-Rivers has developed this into a large-scale manga country, and cooperation with Kakuzu, development of influence, etc. are all based on this idea.
And his crazy idea was taking the Land of River as its own, developing it into a large-scale comic country, with cooperation with Kakuzu.
Anyway, the royal family of the Land of River is not much different from whether it is.
Kakuzu moved very quickly. At noon on the 2nd day, his Shadow Clone came up quietly.
The person in charge of the operation is a special Jounin from Sand Village, but he can only say that this ninja is quite unlucky when encountering Kakuzu.
Because, not only their money will be gone, but also it’s people.
Now the roster of mercenaries he recruited falls into the hands of Kakuzu and then looking for people from the roster are much easier than searching all over the street.
The news he brings is very important.
Sure enough, the Sand Ninja was behind the recruitment of these mercenaries, so the target of Hidden Sand Village is not Land-of-Rivers, but somewhere else.
And their target will most likely be the area on the north of the Land of Wind and the Land of Birds.
Because it is very remote there, there are hills and ravines everywhere, and there are no ninjas in the country. Simply speaking, this country is a territory that can be defeated by any country with ninjas.
It is in the middle of Hidden Rain Village, Land-of-Wind and Land-of-Earth. It is in a delicate balance. In addition, the country is very poor. There are many Mountainous Regions and there are no special mineral deposits. That’s why Hidden Rain Village and Land-of-Earth are not very interested in it.
It is different for the Land of Wind.
The land of the Land of Wind is too barren, and even this kind of chicken ribs can bite deliciously. The main reason why the other two countries want to take care of this side is mainly because they are unwilling to let the Land of Wind succeed.
For the north, there is another advantage. In the Land-of-Whirlpools war, the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village also participated.
But according to normal thinking, dealing with one enemy is better than dealing with two. It can only be said that Hidden Sand Village judges that Konoha, which has only half the battle strength, is stronger than Stone Ninja and Hidden Rain Village combined.
This is very puzzling.
Akabane pondered for a long time, but he didn’t understand why the Sand Village gave up the strategy here.
But this is great news.
Since Sand Village will not attack the country of River on a large scale, there is no need for Akabane to stay here.
The time for him to go home is approaching.
of course……
To end the business trip early, he must first persuade the boss above.
Therefore, Akabane specially wrote a report, detailing the materials and information he found and asked the hidden colleagues of the caravan to pass it on.
If he can go back soon, it will definitely be more comfortable at home.
Akabane was lying on the bed, doing nothing. After thinking about it, he summoned a shadow clone and let him go out quietly to find a place to draw a comic update.
One Piece has gradually expanded its influence in the Land of River, and he has to work hard to update it.
More than One Piece.
It should be time for Shin Y?hi’s comic to be published, but he didn’t know if he finished his work yet.
Akabane lay on the bed.
Although his body does not move, the update is still being created fast.
Ninjutsu is really convenient!
——–_–——
On the third day, the reply from the Third Hokage finally came, and the Third Hokage was not interested in what Akabane would do to develop a force in the Land of River, he only cared about the results.
After reading the reply, Akabane felt a little uncomfortable.
He worked so hard to get the information, and he wrote a battle report to express his reasonable guesses. He wanted to end the business trip and go back to Konoha to relax, but the Third Hokage only praised him and wanted him to go back to preside over the work of the preparation department!
Isn’t someone taking over temporarily?
He regrets it a bit, maybe he should report a few days later so that he can play for a few more days in the Land of River.
Although there is nothing fun here, the houses all over the town are being renovated and gradually transformed into some of the more common house types in One Piece. Seeing that the whole town has become like this because of his own comic, He still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
But it just doesn’t seem very good to stay any longer.
Someone always needs to do the work. If he doesn’t go back now, the preparation department will be in a mess, and it is more troublesome to clean up later.
So without any other choice, Akabane was finally going back.
Akabane packs up his things, but before leaving, there are still some things that need to be explained.
“Nakagawa, you have performed very well during this period of time. Keep it up. It’s better to get more sites. Don’t be limited to Chaochuan Town. I trained you for so long to not let you eat dry food. In addition… .”
Nakagawa’s personality is not strong, in a sense he is not suitable for being a leader-level figure, but he is obedient, as long as there is an order, he will complete it meticulously.
Just like this command, Nakagawa didn’t understand it in his heart, because his ambition and vision were very small, and Chao Chuan Town was already very big for him.
But when he gets the order, he will immediately start thinking about what to do.
Not long after, Nakagawa said, “My lord, there is a shipyard in Kawen Town next to it. Are we going there next?”
Shipyard?
Akabane glanced at him and nodded slightly.
To be rich, build roads first.
When they can control Kawen Town, they can control the ships. When the time comes to establish a fleet, it will be much more convenient whether it is closing the site or for transportation, and it is best to directly control the shipyard.
In this way, the shipbuilding business will be its own in the future.
Well, that guy must understand this, since that guy is very sensitive to making money.
Akabane pondered for a moment, and felt that this man Nakagawa was not useless, but simply not suitable for being a leader.
“You should do that, if there are not enough staff, you contact me in the old way.”
“Yes.”
Of course, he doesn’t have any means of communication, but Orochimaru does.
Nakagawa and Orochimaru have always been in contact through snakes. As long as Orochimaru gets the news, Akabane will know.
After explaining these, Akabane set off for Konoha.
It happened that he had a manuscript of Ten Chapters for One Piece and a manuscript of Five Chapters for Naruto, all of which were produced by his shadow clone who worked hard these days and could be sent directly to Izumi Yamano for printing.
And since he hadn’t updated his comics for seven or eight days, his points didn’t increase.
—_–—·
From the Land of River to the Land of Fire, Akabane returned very quickly, and it was already evening when he returned to Konoha.
Along the way, he sends his shadow clone to find Yamano Izumi and asks him to help publish the comics in hand.
Izumi Yamano hadn’t published comics for some days. And due to the war that started recently, all kinds of ninja had to work overtime, which was too busy. Therefore, although the comic on Akabane was submitted, the update speed was definitely not as fast as before.
Back in Konoha, Akabane didn’t go home but first looked for Orochimaru.
Although the establishment of the base is a common idea between Orochimaru and him, the implementation is done by Orochimaru alone. And since he used Orochimaru identity, they still have to communicate to avoid mistakes in the wrong information.
Especially Kakuzu.
This guy is not easy to provoke, since right now Orochimaru is not an opponent at all, if something goes wrong, it will be miserable.
When he arrived in Anbu, perhaps being not be here for a long time. Rarely, there was an Anbu to probe to check the situation. After seeing Akabane, he did not stop him, but said: “Are you here to look for Orochimaru? It just so happens that there are two letters that you need to read in person. .”
“Um… from the teacher?”
Akabane couldn’t help but be startled slightly.
Sending back two letters from the front line was not a small price. Danzo sent this letter through all the hardships, but he didn’t ask the Third Hokage to inform him, which seemed very strange.
He followed the Anbu in and found the two letters.
From the outside symbol decoration, it should be in the style of Hidden Whirlpools Village.
Akabane turned the envelope over and it said: “To my daughter” on the cover.
It’s a letter from Uzumaki Shuhai to Uzumaki Tomiko, his daughter.
While the other one is for him.
Akabane fell silent seeing this. And since it was sent back from the frontline and suffered untold hardships. Obviously, it was not as simple as reporting his safety. Others can escape into the Land of Fire, but as the Leader of the Country, it’s impossible for him to leave and escape.
This is an absolute letter.
A simple piece of paper that was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He sighed softly, put down the letter for little Tomiko, then picked up the one for himself. He opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.
“Akabane, about Tomiko’s affairs, Danzo already told me, I am very glad that you can give Tomiko the opportunity to choose for herself, and I am very happy that my daughter can live safely in Konoha.”
“Even if she becomes a Jinchuriki, I have nothing to say, because this is the destiny of our clan…”
“From now on, please take good care of her. If you can, I hope she can change her surname to Kurama, and for the Uzumaki, it will be extinct from now on.”
“From Uzumaki Shuhai.”
Akabane sighed heavily.
The war seems to be over, but the cost is estimated to be very tragic, and the Uzumaki family is obviously also very close, knowing that it is impossible to bear the surname of Uzumaki from now on.
Fortunately, everything is over and their family has not completely perished. This is better than anything else.
He thought for a moment and did not open the letter for Tomiko, but put it away to bring it to her.
Afterwards, he went over and chatted with Orochimaru.
In fact, it is basically nothing. Orochimaru is now a purely technical house, completely indulged in ninjutsu research. He has already fixed the previous sound detector, and it has played a significant role in the front line.
Now his subject is very delicate as it’s about the soul.
For the time being, he doesn’t know for what purpose he studied this subject, but soul is very profound. For the current Orochimaru, it is obviously too obscure, and it is estimated that he will give up on it temporarily for a while.
“By the way, are you really planning to dominate the situation in Chao Chuan Town?”
In the end, Akabane couldn’t help mentioning Chao Chuan Town.
Speaking of Chao Chuan Town, Orochimaru looked proud: “That is my best work. In the future, the country of River will be completely transformed into the rules and systems of One Piece.”
“Haha, I’m looking forward to that.”
Akabane gave a thumbs up.
He only wanted to control the underground forces in the Land of River, but the goal of Orochimaru was even greater, as he directly wanted to move all the One Piece sets to the Land of River.
But thinking about it, it doesn’t seem impossible.
The Land of River does not have its own Shinobi Village, anyway, it can’t be worse than it is now.
Even if the king has any opinions, the royal family has no choice but to pinch their nose and agree to it as it will make their country more prosperous than ever!
