Under the shade of the shade tree, Shiraishi found the Xuan ape group led by the insect man.

"Judging by the way you returned in vain, it seems that the village of Sugi has indeed been wiped out."

"Yes, Lord Shiraishi."

The worm man told the truth.

Although this was due to the ineffectiveness of the Xuan Ape Crowd, they did not expect that the Thunder Shadow of Yunyin Village would retaliate against the Sugi Village so decisively, causing them to have no time to react.

This is why the bounty mission was interrupted.

But failure is failure, so the worm man will not look for excuses to prevaricate.

After all, for the Xuan apes who are mixed in the underground black market, it is impossible to guarantee a 100% mission completion rate.

Even if it is an undead horn, the completion rate of tasks in the underground black market in the past is only more than 90%. Now the task completion rate of the Xuan Ape Crowd is also fluctuating up and down at this value.

"Also, there's one more thing worth noting."

The worm man remembered something and said.

"What?"

"The big names behind the underground black market platform, as well as the bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive, are very dissatisfied with the way the Ghost Country eliminated the black market platform. Some of the powerful bounty hunters may be instigated by the bigwigs behind the scenes, and they will take risks and launch an assassination operation against Lord Shiraishi as a deterrent. ”

After all, the country of ghosts has not only cleared its own domestic black market platforms, but even the black market platforms in the surrounding small countries have also been devastated.

In doing so, it will undoubtedly shrink the trading market of the underground black market and damage the interests of the black market platform.

The benefits of the black market platform will also adversely affect the income of bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive.

Although the black market platforms have not done so yet, if the Oni Nation continues to expand its influence and cut off the underground black market platforms, then it will inevitably provoke the revenge of the black market and anger the lawless bounty hunters.

At the same time, it will also make the big businessmen and officials behind the black market platform feel dissatisfied.

This means that the enemies of those big businessmen and officials will not be able to assassinate once they escape into the protected area of the Oni Country's fight against the black market platform.

In doing so, it will undoubtedly offend many people, either directly or indirectly.

"This kind of thing has long been expected, you just need to do your own tasks in the underground black market, and when necessary, you can use it as an internal response to annihilate the black market forces in reverse."

Shiraishi was not surprised.

He instructed the military to cut off the black market platform near the Oni Country, and it was only natural that the black market platform would retaliate against it.

According to the character of those big businessmen and officials who manipulate black market platforms, they will not be indifferent.

The threat on the surface of the ghost country has been lifted, and it is also a good choice to use these imps who are not on the stage to train in the dark.

Anyway, in his vision, the underground black market, a platform full of dark transactions, was also a key target, and should not remain in the world.

With Xuan Ape as an internal response, it is enough to grasp the trend of the underground black market at the first time.

"Yes!"

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the insect man and the others.

Over the years, the five of them have not only completed the bounty task in the underground black market, but also secretly explored the intricacies behind the scenes of the underground black market. Constantly traveling from place to place to find out where each country is based.

At the same time, those bounty hunters, merchants, and officials who want to be disadvantageous to the country of ghosts are secretly hunted down.

After all, the rapid development of the Ghost Country and the astonishing wealth have already attracted many people to covet it.

The war between the country of ghosts and the underground black market has already begun.

And the path to be taken by the country of ghosts is destined to touch the interests of most vested interests, knocking them from the sky to dust.

"Go, the rest of the underground black market troops, a total of one hundred and thirty-two people, will also join you in the hunt."

Shiraishi waved his hand.

The insect man and the other five nodded, swished, and used the teleportation technique to disappear from the spot.

"It seems that the underground black market is not a cause for concern now."

Thunder Pill said as he stood on Shiraishi's shoulder.

"This chaotic black market platform is not a threat in the first place. Not only are masters scarce, but they are just a group of outlaws who sell their lives for money. When faced with a real threat of death, they are more afraid of death than anyone else. The fight with them is just a small fight. ”

"That's right. The power of the black market is too scattered, and if it can be concentrated, it may be a little tricky. ”

But it's not possible.

There are too many big businessmen and officials behind the black market, and the forces are divided into dozens or hundreds of shares, and the secret competition between Konoha high-level Hokage and Root has made Konoha a mess. The power is dispersed into dozens or hundreds of underground black markets, and you can imagine how difficult it is to unify them.

Shiraishi did not reply, but walked out of the cave, came to a clearing in the woods, and said:

"Let's separate here, you now go to the Land of Waves to assist in the operation. I'll just go back alone, and I don't need you to follow. ”

"Yes, then, I'll take my leave, Father."

Thunder Ming Pill nodded slightly, jumped off Shiraishi's shoulder, and ran quickly on all fours, turning into a blue thunderbolt and disappearing into the dense forest.

Seeing Thunder Ming Pill go away, Shiraishi retracted his gaze and rushed back in the direction of the Oni Country.

Night.

"Well, Tsunade-sama, we're on our way tomorrow, so it's better not to drink too much alcohol at night...... And drinking too much alcohol is not good for the body. ”

Shizune sat on the side, looking at Tsunade, who was constantly drinking, causing his face to turn red, and couldn't help but admonish.

"You're really verbose, Mute, I'm a medical ninja, and of course my body knows it. It's okay. ”

Ignoring Shizune's admonition, Tsunade picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth, causing Shizune to sigh again and again.

It's because he's a medical ninja that he shouldn't indulge himself so much.

Just as Shizune was about to admonish again, a voice suddenly reached her and Tsunade's ears:

"I'm still drinking alone here at night, are you bothered by something, Tsunade?"

Shizune looked up at the person and was surprised.

"Jiraiya-sama?"

The person who came was Jiraiya, who stood in front of the wine table, smiling and teasing.

Tsunade also sobered up from drunkenness, but the skin on his face was still red, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Today's troubles are really one after another, did you discuss them on purpose?" ”

Tsunade's words sounded a little inexplicable to Jiraiya, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Sitting across from Tsunade, he smiled at Tsunade, "Don't say that, you left the village in a hurry before, and I didn't have time to ask you for a drink." It's just time to make up for it today. ”

Shizune looked at Jiraiya with slight dissatisfaction.

I almost forgot.,Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.,It's also an alcoholic.,And it's the kind of drunkard who has a very poor taste.。

Not only that, but he is also a hungry ghost in color.

And Orochimaru, the only one who doesn't touch the three forbidden ninjas, is an S-class dangerous reninja who betrayed the village.

"If you have something to say, just get out if it's okay. I don't have time to listen to you around the bend here. ”

Tsunade was very faceless and said politely.

Zilai was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly calmed down and said, "Actually, I came to you, not only my personal wishes, but also the meaning of Teacher Ape Fei." ”

"Pick up the point."

Tsunade's voice deepened.

"Sarutobi-sensei and I both want you to go back to the position of the fifth Hokage."

I also saw Tsunade so direct, and it was not good to ask for warmth first, and directly say what he meant.

"Why?"

"You know my personality, I'm too free and loose, and I'm not very suitable for running a village. And Sarutobi-sensei is already old, and now there is such a thing in the Uchiha clan again, plus the country of ghosts...... Therefore, the current international environment is very unfavorable to Konoha. Only you, as the granddaughter of the original Hokage, can go back and turn the tide. ”

"And then, like Watergate, become a puppet?"

Tsunade held the bottle of wine that had been drunk, and his mood became a little impetuous.

"Teacher Ape Fei was also worried about the village at the beginning...... Moreover, Watergate has passed away, so don't talk about the past. ”

Speaking of this, Jiraiya also showed a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"That kind of nonsense is just a fool of you who is easily moved by yourself. Don't tell me, the Uchiha's affairs have nothing to do with the top. ”

Tsunade sneered.

"That's why you need to go back to power. With your prestige, it's enough to become the fifth Hokage. To be honest, the current ape flying teacher is already powerless to deal with the roots. As far as I know, the root has been conducting some forbidden experiments recently, which may be related to tailed beasts. ”

"Wouldn't that be great? It can greatly strengthen the village. ”

"It's different. Danzang's ideas are too extreme, and Danzang is ambitious, once he is allowed to dominate the voice of the village, maybe a ninja war will break out immediately. ”

Jiraiya looked serious.

"It doesn't make a difference if Konoha or another village takes the initiative to start a ninja war. Anyway, they all have to die, and they have to fight. It's just that Konoha under the leadership of Tuan Zang has changed from passive to active. ”

Tsunade said coldly.

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade in amazement, he didn't expect Tsunade to say such a thing.

"Why do you say that?"

It's like getting acquainted with Tsunade again.

“…… Nothing, drinking is a little unclear in the brain. ”

Tsunade also knew that he had lost his words, no matter what, his previous words were a little contrary to his grandfather's philosophy.

If she made a change, then, first of all, it was disrespectful to her own grandfather.

But...... Tsunade remembered what Shiraishi had said to him that afternoon.

Not only did he deny his grandfather, but also the daimyo and nobles, and wanted to reshuffle the entire world pattern and establish the lofty goal of a new system, which made her also yearn for it.

If we continue to do that, will the world really be a good place?

There are many drawbacks to the ninja village system.

Peace should not be just enclosure for self-amusement, nor should it be just peace for the daimyo and nobles.

If you were a civilian, you would want to live in the land of ghosts even more.

If more people knew about the living environment in the country of ghosts, would they follow it, and would they expect that kind of life?

Grandfather Izushita is knowledgeable, will he support her?

But...... In this way, Konoha ...... What is the value of everything her grandfather left behind?

Thinking of this, Tsunade laughed at himself.

It's true, as the inheritor of the will of fire, he is now beginning to question the will of his ancestors first because of the rebellious words.

Peace...... What does it look like exactly?

Is it the peace of the privileged classes such as the daimyo, nobles, ninjas, etc., or is it ...... More ordinary people, more mortal peace?

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade's hand picking up the empty wine bottle, and he was trembling slightly, puzzled.

He didn't know if Tsunade was shaking because he had drunk too much alcohol or if he was shaking because he was afraid of something.

Maybe it's the former.

In Jiraiya's impression, Tsunade has always been a strong woman who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Self-......"

Tsunade's voice was a little hoarse.

"Huh?"

"If you investigate the cause and effect of a thing, but because you are afraid of breaking such a rule, it will lead to chaos that turns the world upside down...... What should I do? ”

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya's face intensely.

Jiraiya's face was even more stunned, he was a little surprised that Tsunade would ask such a question.

It's a bit vague, but it's understandable.

After a little deliberation of the words, Jiraiya replied: "It depends on the cause and effect of this matter, whether it can bring good or bad things." After all, you also said that it is enough chaos to turn the world upside down, and if it happens, it will definitely kill a lot of people. If it were me, of course, this kind of thing should be considered in the long run, slowly changed, and found the best of both worlds to solve the cause and effect in your mouth without destroying stability. ”

"That's right."

Tsunade smiled.

It's really a 'self-style' answer.

"Let's not talk about this question for now, how did you think about the matter of the five generations of Hokage?"

Zilai also cares about this topic.

"I'm in a lot of confusion right now, and I can't give an accurate answer. I would like to decline Mr. Ape Fei's kindness. ”

Tsunade waved his hand, a little reluctant to talk about the topic.

"Why? Now among Konoha, only you have the power to turn the tide. ”

With the current situation in Konoha, it really can't be said to be good in the world.

There have been various accidents one after another, and since the end of the Third Ninja World War, the number of missions in Konoha has begun to decrease year by year.

If it continues like this, it will inevitably be surpassed by the rest of the ninja villages.

"I've said that my thoughts are a little confused, and I can't answer now."

"Tsunade, you're a little strange today, did something happen?"

Jiraiya fell silent and suddenly asked this question.

Tsunade's gaze was a little evasive, and he propped his hands on the table and stood up straight.

"Nothing, you're thinking too much. I was a little dizzy and went to rest first. Mute, let's go. ”

After saying that, Tsunade covered his forehead with a headache, made a dizzy appearance, and walked out of the room with the help of Mute.

"Tsunade, this guy ......"

Jiraiya squinted.

He had a hunch that something must have happened to Tsunade, otherwise it wouldn't be so strange today.

"It seems that it is not such a simple thing to complete the old man's task, and I am also a little concerned about the recent movements of the organization where Orochimaru belongs......

It is also a headache.

Now that he is really weak, the pressure that Konoha faces internationally, as well as the internal power and factional struggles, are also the magistrates he is worried about.

Not only that, but convincing Tsunade and collecting the movements of the mysterious organization are two major tasks that are also pressed on him together.

In the long run, the country of ghosts cannot be taken lightly.

Of all the threats today, the Oni Country is the most threatening.

If Tsunade can serve as the five Hokages at this time, then many problems can be solved.

To reverse Tsunade's mind, you can only take your time.

Konoha Hospital.

The Pharmaceutical Analysis Research Institute, led by Masumi Asami, the director of the pharmacy department, and a total of twenty-one Konoha elite medical ninjas, are conducting a secret research mission from the village's higher-ups.

The 'unknown poison' was used as the main body of this research mission, and the analysis of the unknown poison was carried out.

Asami Masumi held a small finger-sized dark red transparent crystal in her hand, a rare crystal produced by mixing unknown poison with blood.

Such crystals were extradited from the top to the hospital research institute, and they asked the hospital research institute to analyze the medicinal properties of this crystal as soon as possible, and to produce ineffective and highly toxic resistance drugs for this highly toxic drug.

This research work has been going on for many days, but the analysis of the pharmacology of the poison can still be described as slow.

Although they have come to the conclusion that behind this poisonous crystal, there is an extremely terrible secret, but now they can't even see the shadow of the secret door opened, let alone peek behind the door.

"How? Or is it a failure? ”

Placing the crystal in a closed transparent bottle, Asami Masumi stuffed it into the pocket of her white coat, found the medical ninja who had already done the analysis, and asked about it.

On the tray of the detector, there is some dark red powder scraped off the crystals.

Around the tray, there is a miniature sphere enchantment.

The medical ninja smiled bitterly and nodded and replied, "yes, failed." Nowadays, many of the instruments used to analyze drugs in hospitals are related to the chakra system, but once the chakra comes into contact with this powder, it will be devoured. Even with the most sophisticated observation equipment, it is not possible to completely dialyze the constituent substances of the powder. ”

"Since this kind of thing can eliminate chakra, it must have some commonality with chakra."

Asami Masumi touched her chin and said.

The medical ninja nodded, and he also thought that Asami Masumi's words made sense.

Since chakra can be eliminated, some of it must be related to chakra. It's just that they can't parse the secrets now.

Because this substance is related to chakra, but on the other hand, it can eliminate chakra. That's why they're helpless now.

Gathering the best medical ninjas in Konoha today, there is still no way to get a glimpse of the mystery, which shows the rarity and particularity of this poison.

Even if an external force intervened, they couldn't use the second energy to crack the secret except for Chakra.

"What's next?"

The medical ninja asked.

Asami Masumi thought for a while and said, "Since the instrument here can't be analyzed, it can only be observed through this highly toxic movement." ”

The medical ninja was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "...... do this?"

"Well, human trials."

Asami Masumi pushed the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and responded softly.

It is very difficult to conduct human trials at Konoha Hospital, because the hospital cannot make its own decisions, especially when it involves such an important confidential task, which needs to be reported layer by layer.

"You can use the bodies of ordinary people and animals instead, but the best material is ninjas. Because only a ninja can observe everything. I'll go to the third generation and apply to him. ”

"Yes."

Watching Asami Masumi leave.

◎

Looking at the report submitted by Asami Masumi, Hinata is also considering it.

Then, he looked at Asami Masumi in a white coat, who was only thirty years old and was already the leading medical ninja in Konoha.

Over the years, he has worked in the pharmacy department of the hospital and served as the director, and he has won the trust of his subordinates in terms of character and work ability.

It can be said that in addition to Tsunade, he is one of the best medical ninjas in Konoha.

His talent in drug analysis and research is also outstanding.

"Tell me what you're asking for."

For the analysis and research of drugs, Nichicho is not particularly well understood.

Therefore, he could only provide the hospital's drug research department with the greatest authority to analyze the secrets of the special poison that he had brought back.

Because it is one of the great ninjutsu secrets related to the country of ghosts, it is necessary to do your best to complete the research work.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. I hope that the village can provide about ten to fifteen ninjas to cooperate with our research. Because this is an extremely rare virus, we have exhausted all methods of exploration these days, but we have not been able to understand the secrets. It is only known that it is compatible with chakra, but it shows the characteristics of extremely repelling chakra. It can only be observed from the dynamic effect of the spread of the poison. ”

Asami Masumi gave her own reasons, which was also the reason to persuade the third generation to provide the human body for the hospital department to study.

"Ten to fifteen is too many...... Up to eight people for you. ”

Hizai thought about it for a moment, sighed, and replied.

Asami Zhencheng wanted to speak and stopped, and she also knew that this was the bottom limit of the day cut.

"Yes, I see."

"I know that this work is difficult for the research department of your hospital under limited conditions, but the situation in the village is also difficult now, and I hope you can understand."

"Yes. I see, Hokage-sama. In addition, I hope that Jiraiya will cooperate with us. ”

"Jiraiya?"

"Well, of course not to use Jiraiya-sama as a test subject. Rather, this poison seems to be eliminated with the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain. I hope that Jiraiya-sama will get in touch with Mt. Myoki and will be able to eliminate this poison, or provide items for the department to study. Otherwise, even if there is enough human body, I am afraid that the progress will not be very large. ”

Asami Masumi looked directly into Hichisa's eyes with a sincere attitude.

Ri Slash thought about it, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will mention this matter to Jiraiya, but whether it can be done depends on the attitude of Miaomu Mountain." ”

Although because of the relationship between Jiraiya, the relationship between Konoha and Myoki Mountain can be regarded as relatively friendly.

But when it comes to some secrets that belong to him, Ri Slash is not sure that Miaomu Mountain will definitely cooperate with Konoha to conduct research.

"It doesn't matter. So, I'll quit first, Hokage-sama. ”

Bowing slightly to the sun, Asami Masumi turned around and walked outside, the bright white light reflected on the lenses, and her face was still ruthless and desireless.

In this way, Miaomu Mountain can no longer maintain the mystery of fooling people.
