"Payne ......"

In front of the group is a very high-definition photograph.

Above is an adult male wrapped in a black coat, and from the outward dress, it is a figure whose true identity cannot be determined from the appearance.

The Rain Hidden Ninja calls each other 'Payne', and is also the current leader of Rain Hide.

It's a mysterious character full of mysteries from head to toe.,I don't know where it popped up.,For the intelligence of the rain leader Payne.,Basically, all the information collected is fragmentary information.,Can't form a complete system.。

Since the fall of Kanzang, the Roots' control over Yuyin has completely disappeared.

A long time ago, the roots began to investigate the new leader of Yuyin, but there was no result, and Konoha's attention was not focused on the rain country area at that time, so the exploration plan for Yuyin was also shelved.

If the Land of Rain hadn't had a civil war and the Daimyo's ruling system had been involved, it is estimated that the great powers would not have acted so decisively.

Rather than letting Yuyin Village take power, the daimyo of the surrounding powers would hope that the Daimyo of the Land of Rain would continue to rule the Land of Rain.

It's just that the Daimyo of the Land of Rain performed really badly in the Third Ninja World War, betraying the country for glory, leading to a complete riot at the bottom, and under the instigation and leadership of the Rain Hidden Village, he challenged the absolute authority of the Ninja World since ancient times.

The key to this is Payne, the new leader of Yuyin.

"Kill Kanzo to come to power, and soon establish his authority in the rain hide, and be loyal by many rain ninjas...... Is it a Hanzo clan? ”

Danzo looked at the person in the photo and fell into deep thought.

But Danzang quickly rejected this view.

Because the Hanzang clan has long been washed by the roots, by the later came to power, and has been washed with blood.

To truly cut off children and grandchildren, it is more thorough than the Uchiha clan in Konoha today.

After all, at that time, in order to put an end to Hanzo's prestige in Yuyin Village, everything related to Hanzo was destroyed, which was also in the Roots' plan.

"Danzo-sama."

A root ninja walked in.

In the dimly lit room, the candle flame flickered gently, and Tuan Zang was the only one inside.

"What's the matter?"

"Ryoma-sama has already been contacted."

"Got it, what's Yuyin's movement?"

The militia held the ninja equipment of the Oni Country in his hand, and although it was also a threat to the ninjas, it was not an orthodox ninja after all, and as long as a small-scale attack plan was adopted, it was enough to break up the offensive of these militias.

The ninja of the country of demons, the more people there are, the stronger the destructive effect.

On the contrary, in the assault encounters, many drawbacks are revealed.

Therefore, what Tuan Zang really cares about is the movement of the ninjas in Yuyin Village, as long as Yuyin is solved, those militias who were called up by Yuyin will also disperse in a hurry.

They are just here to suppress the unrest, not to simply create killings.

The situation at this time is different from the period of the Third Shinobi War, after all.

At that time, he needed to provoke Hanzo, so he secretly sent root ninjas to massacre the territory of the Land of Rain.

Now it is only a local conflict, and the opponent is not a big country like the country of wind and the country of earth, so the means can become relatively moderate.

"There is not much difference between the casualties on the side of the coalition forces, and if the country of ghosts is willing to cut off the supply channels of weapons, I believe that the coalition forces will soon have the advantage."

The so-called coalition army refers to the ninja forces of the two countries, the land of fire and the land of earth.

Although it is a coalition army, it is also its own master, and it will not really be unified and managed.

"Isn't the country of ghosts still not stopping the supply of arms to small countries?"

The five major powers jointly went to the country of ghosts and demanded that the country of ghosts make an arms supply treaty against small countries, and Tuan Zang knew about it.

The Root Ninja shook his head, indicating that there was no concrete outcome to the matter.

After all, with such a huge profit, the country of ghosts will definitely not give up easily, even if the five major powers are jointly persecuted, it will be difficult for the country of ghosts to make concessions.

The most important thing is that the five major countries have different hearts, saying that they are jointly signing the letter, but in fact, they are all seeking their own benefits, plus the country of ghosts is the home status, and the five major countries are away, it is definitely not so easy to negotiate.

"Keep an eye on the movements of the Oni Country, and in addition, the Wave Country should always be on the lookout. Recently, the claws of the country of ghosts have stretched a little too long. ”

Danzang's voice was heavy.

He knew about the plans of the Daimyo of the Fire Country in the Land of Waves, and wanted to gather the merchants of the isolated island in the territory of the Land of Waves, and then wipe them all out, and swallow all the wealth of these unscrupulous merchants.

At that time, the roots and leaves will also receive a large amount of money for development.

The only thing he feared now was that the Oni Nation would interfere with it and sabotage the actions of the Fire Nation Daimyo.

"Yes."

The root ninja nodded heavily and walked out of the room.

Island.

In the high conference room at the top of the building, the big businessmen come together again.

"I have very heavy news for you, the Oni Country has refused to cooperate with us."

The big businessman who was in charge of negotiating with the country of ghosts and doing the work of wooing said with a cold expression.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, everyone could still see that his eyes were very gloomy, and it was obvious that after being rejected, he became dissatisfied with the country of ghosts.

"Did Chiba Shiraishi personally refuse?"

A big businessman asked.

"No, I haven't even seen the other party's face, although I have asked many times, but the other party has not even seen each other, obviously not looking at us big businessmen."

Although it is known that negotiating in front of the most senior military official of a country will be at a certain disadvantage.

But such an unappreciative behavior as the country of ghosts, which does not enter the oil and salt, and does not even give faces, is undoubtedly a humiliation for the arrogant and domineering isolated island businessman.

It's also a disgrace to their alliance of lonely island merchants.

Although the Alliance of Lonely Island Merchants is indeed nothing in front of some powerful countries, they have the wealth of the ninja world second to none, and their total financial strength has surpassed that of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce. Even the high-ranking officials of the five major countries would not be so rude to them, but instead took their money and would do ninja things.

"That's a problem. I didn't even see each other...... Is there a reason given? ”

"There is only one sentence that comes out, the country of ghosts does not carry out any illegal business activities related to the underworld."

“……”

As soon as these words came out, they attracted the silence of all the big businessmen, but there was a faint disdain and sneer on their faces.

"It's ridiculous, a group of rebels have just come ashore, and they are in a hurry to say goodbye to the past."

But it's just a mockery, if they really fight with the country of ghosts, they don't have the guts.

Regardless of the other party's past status, being able to force Konoha and the Fire Country to back down is no longer something that ordinary people can do.

Just saying that will make them feel a little better.

This ninja world is not black and white, but also gray.

The Five Great Powers are also not justice, or rather, there is no such thing as justice.

Because justice is created by human beings themselves, a very ambiguous and very self-defined narrow definition.

"So what's next?"

A big businessman spoke.

Although they are very unhappy with the arrogance given to them by Chiba Shiraishi, they can't deter the other party militarily, it is meaningless, and in the end it is only themselves who are unlucky.

It's only a slight pity that I can't pull the country of ghosts into the camp, but other than that, I don't feel it.

"The progress of the country of waves needs to be accelerated, so let's inform the daimyo of the country of waves. The officials on the Fire Nation side have also been bribed by us, and they will also cover for us when the time comes. ”

Another big businessman picked up his cane and pointed up to the map on the table.

Landing on an island in the country of waves.

The rest of the merchants also rolled their eyes to look at it, staring at it with a very unified mind.

"The country of fire and the country of waves are all on our side, and the profits collected after that will also be divided into three points. Since the country of ghosts is of noble character and is unwilling to join us merchants who are full of the smell of copper, then completely squeeze them out of the territory of the country of waves. ”

This is the best way and the only option right now.

As for offending the country of ghosts, the merchants didn't care about this.

The country of waves is in the sphere of influence of the country of fire, and the country of ghosts is far away in the western part of the continent, so even if you want to take revenge on them, you must be powerless.

As for commercial suppression, there is no need to be afraid.

The strength of their union is enough to suppress the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, and commercial competition is their strength.

"It looks like the sky is going to change, how many people will die by then? But it's good to let the country of ghosts see the power of us copper-smelling merchants. It's not good to sit in the well and watch the sky all the time. ”

The businessmen made their decisions, and the next meeting became relaxed, and they enjoyed tea in the conference room.

The Land of Waves.

In the courtyard, many flowers and leaves are beginning to wither, and although Kazuhime is not a sentimental girl, she is really not in the mood to go out for work patrols in this gloomy weather.

And while dealing with affairs, she will not fall behind in her cultivation.

Because he was born with a chakra at the level of a tailed beast, the writing wheel eye has also reached the limit state of the ordinary writing wheel eye, which can allow Yiji to spend more time on the cultivation of ninjutsu, body art and illusion.

Towards the training ground.

This mansion was once the residence of a nobleman in the country of waves, but not long ago it was buried in full by Cardo, and it was temporarily placed as a base in the country of ghosts. After buying this mansion, Kazuhime doesn't have to live on a cruise ship all day, so it's convenient to move around the territory of the country of waves, and this mansion can also hide more people.

Before he arrived at the training ground, a ninja from the Oni Country hurriedly ran over, looking at his eager face, it seemed that something had happened, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.

"What's going on, in such a hurry?"

Kazuhime stopped his way to the training ground and asked his subordinates.

The ninja of the Ghost Country had a respectful attitude and a solemn face, and said, "Things are a little bad, Miss, those gangsters have come to make trouble. ”

"It seems that the previous elimination of their two strongholds still does not achieve the deterrent effect. Just find someone to drive them away, and if it doesn't work, just find a random place to deal with the troublesome gangsters. You don't have to report this kind of thing to me. ”

Yiji's eyes were also filled with coldness, and she didn't have a good impression of these gangsters.

"Miss, this time the situation is different."

The subordinate said with a wry smile.

"Huh? Not the same? ”

Kazuhime's tone paused.

"Yes, it was some workers on the other side of the construction site, who seemed to have taken out a loan, and the gang came to collect the debt. But even so, it affected the normal process of the plant. If it weren't for the presence of the guards there, there would likely be a firefight between the two sides. ”

“……”

This familiar sense of déjà vu reminded Kazuhime of the debt collectors of the Aster Flower Shovel.

It's just that compared to these gangsters, the debt collectors of the Chamber of Commerce are more professional and have a clear hierarchy and keep in mind the rules of debt collection.

"In other words, they are finding fault with valid reasons?"

Yiji raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

The ninja of the country of ghosts smiled helplessly, this time those gangsters were smart, knowing that after being caught, they would definitely be retaliated against by the country of ghosts, so they chose this method, which can not only achieve the goal, but also will not let the country of ghosts catch the handle.

After all, now they are under the banner of the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce, not the Oni Country military.

When it comes to money, it's just a matter of 'legal'.

The gang collects debts from the debtors, and the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce seems to have no excuse to oppose it, and even threaten with force, otherwise it will affect the reputation that the Chamber of Commerce has accumulated over the years.

"How many workers are involved?"

"One hundred and twenty-seven."

The subordinate hesitated, but still reported the number.

The number of people involved who said it made Yiji directly startled.

"One hundred and twenty-seven? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

"That's right, one hundred and twenty-seven."

The Oni no Kuni ninja replied in the affirmative.

Out of a total of 1,000 workers, more than 1/10 of them took out loans from the gangsters, a ratio that surprised Kazuhime.

"How can there be so many people?"

"The people of this country are so poor, the economy is backward, the unemployment rate is high anywhere, and they have no financial resources to go to some banking institutions for loans. Or go abroad to find a way to survive. ”

Yiji was speechless, and her frowning brows loosened slightly, but her mood still didn't improve.

"Collect information about those workers who owe money, and if there are bad records, such as gambling and drug abuse, just remove them and leave them to fend for themselves. Those who can't live and have to borrow money will stay for the time being. ”

Kazuhime didn't hesitate for too long and gave a reply.

She knew that among the more than 1,000 workers gathered by Dazner, not all of them were honest and simple types, but some of them were black sheep who were addicted to gambling and drugs.

This time, I just took this opportunity to eliminate this part of the people, and by the way, I could win the hearts of the people, and then we could start the next plan.

This time, the gang made trouble for legitimate reasons, and it is impossible to say that there is no bystander behind them.

But now is not the best time to deal with those behind the scenes.

At least not until a real 'alliance' is reached, it's not a good time.

"Dazna, is there really no way?"

The workers on the construction site gathered around, and all eyes were on Dazna.

Because the other party has not only shown a lot of faces to the employer, but also the leader of the workers.

There are many things that they are willing to talk to Dazner.

Looking at the pairs of eyes converging towards him, Dazna also felt a little helpless.

Really, he's just a part-time worker, and he's really not a savior.

And he is very satisfied with his current life, although it is a little difficult, but with a little effort, it is not that he can't live.

The reason why these workers came to him is also very simple.

The gang found the workers among them and began to demand the arrears.

Although the ninjas of the Oni no Kuni who were guarding the construction site temporarily evacuated those gangsters, it was not a matter to go on like this.

If they came directly to find trouble, those ghost country ninjas would naturally be willing to teach these people a lesson.

But people are looking for a legitimate reason to come, and the ninjas of the Oni Country evacuate those gangsters, but they just don't want the construction on the construction site to be obstructed.

As for other times, such as after those workers get off work, the Oni no Kuni ninja will not be managed.

These are personal issues and are not included in the initial cooperation contract.

Even if workers are in trouble, there is no reason for the employer to intervene to solve it, and at most it is verbal to adjust.

Many of the workers who owed money were their friends, and some were young people, so they had to take out loans because they couldn't make ends meet.

Although there were all kinds of loopholes in the loan contract, they may not have thought about it so much at the time, who were already at a disadvantage.

Although he knows how to read and write, the real level of education is not very high, that is, the degree to which he can eat with a mouthful of food.

To be honest, Dazner is willing to help these friends, and he doesn't want those gangsters to make his friends' families jump and eventually disappear from the world.

But can he really do this kind of thing as a foreman?

"I'm sorry, I really don't know how to deal with this kind of thing."

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Dazner knew that he would be disappointed if he said this, but his ability was limited, and he didn't want to get into such trouble.

"But ......"

"Well, Dazna has his own difficulties, let's not force him like this."

It was Darzner's old friend Keic who said a fair word.

"But in that case, the lives of those workers who owe money may be in danger......"

"I owe money, I should have paid it back."

"That's a gangster, and they must have used coercion in the first place......"

Although they knew that they were the ones who were at fault, but when they thought of the gangster forces in the country of waves, the workers also nodded and thought so.

Because of those gangsters, many families who should have been happy have been ruined.

"I don't think I interrupted your conversation."

A voice interjected, interrupting the conversation between Dazna and the others.

When they saw who was coming, all the workers, including Dazna, were surprised.

"Miss Kazuhime?"

"It's me."

Kazuhime walked over with a smile on her face, followed by two upper ninja guards, who also followed.

The workers stood and bowed to Kazuhime.

"Miss Yiji, what are you doing today at ......the construction site?"

Dazner had some speculation, but was not sure.

Yiji glanced at Dazna and said, "Such a big thing has happened here at the construction site, and I, as the person in charge, will definitely not be indifferent." I already know about the workers, whether it's arrears or gangsters...... Didn't they come today? ”

"Hiding at home and not daring to come out, probably because I am afraid that those gangsters will trouble their families."

Dazna replied with a wry smile.

"It's excusable, but it's a violation of the original contract, right?"

Yiji's words made the workers present look nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Yes, yes."

Dazna only said according to Kazuhime's meaning, and did not dare to refute.

"Rest assured, I don't mean to blame. Anyway, come with me, Dazna, you're their head after all, and I, as an employer, don't want to use workers who don't have credit. ”

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what Kazuhime meant, Dazna took a deep breath and followed Kazuhime's footsteps.

When I arrived at a simple rest room next to the construction site, there were more than a dozen ninjas guarding outside, and inside the house, there were only two people, Ichihime and Dazna.

Dazna sat down at the signal of Kazuki.

"There's no need to be too restrained here, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Anyway, this has caused you trouble, Miss Yiji, and I apologize on their behalf. I didn't expect them to be stupid enough to take out a loan from a gangster. ”

"In desperate situations, such extreme things can happen."

"Yes, but I'm still causing you trouble."

Dazner continued to apologize.

Kazuhime looked at Dazna and didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the lounge fell silent.

Soon, Yiji picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and spoke again: "Because there are a lot of workers involved, if there are too many mistakes, it will affect the normal construction of the factory." Therefore, I have reported this matter to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and there is already a proposal for this matter. ”

"Proposal?"

"Yes. This is the information I have gathered from my subordinates, you can look at it and show it to the workers later. ”

Kazuhime took out a sealed file bag, which contained a large number of information documents.

After Dazna tore it open, he already knew what these intelligence documents were just by looking at the top pages.

"These are ......"

"Many of the workers who owe money are addicted to gambling and drugs, and even lazy on the construction site, intending to get money here. I'm going to weed out that part of the workers. ”

"What about the rest of the workers who owe money?"

"The loan contracts that the gangsters came up with have a lot of loopholes on them, and even some places are illegal, and we will arrange lawyers to go to court with them, but it is impossible not to pay a penny. So ......"

"So ......"

Dazna looked at Kazuhime worriedly.

"The problem of arrears, they don't need to think about it, we will send someone to solve it. But they will have to work hard for the Aster Flower Chamber for thirty years. ”

"Thirty years?"

"The money they owe is discounted from their salaries."

Kazuhime said.

Dazna was surprised by the number of years, but also a little envious.

But soon he had another question in mind.

"However, some of the workers who owe money are very old......

"Let their children continue to work for the Chamber of Commerce. Until thirty years of consummation. ”

"I see. I have no objection, and the workers who owe money are not much of a problem to be appeased. ”

"I just hope they can afford it after that."

Yiji slowly tasted the tea and said in a calm voice.

Dazna didn't have the nervousness he had at the beginning.

"Then I'll go back to work."

"Don't worry, in addition to this matter, there is actually one more thing I want Mr. Dazner to help with."

"Huh?"

Seeing Kazuhime take out a file bag again, Dazna's face became confused.

Kazuhime just smiled and sat there without speaking.

Dazner didn't want to ask, so he had to open the file bag and extract the documents inside.

There is a line of black bold font on the top, which clearly reflects Dazna's eyes, which is particularly eye-catching.

International Workers' Cooperatives.
