Chapter 212 Severe Form
Yasuo still admired Bai Jue for actually daring to take the initiative and resist the predator.
It's a pity that the food chain is such a wonderful thing, and any resistance is in vain. After all, this is the miraculous work of nature!
As time passed, when the first snow of the year fell, Konoha was not immersed in the joyful atmosphere of looking forward to the New Year as usual.
With Sansho Hanzo shrinking his strength and preparing for war, the ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth have expanded their activities to the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Rain.
This place traditionally belongs to the sphere of influence of the Country of Fire. The frequent activities of the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja have essentially blocked the connection between Konoha and many small countries in the West.
For Konoha, such actions by the two countries are tantamount to the most extreme military provocation. Konoha has to continue to divert a large amount of resources westward to deal with the possible escalation of the situation at any time.
In the rain curtain of the Land of Rain, ninjas wearing different forehead protectors die every day, and strange faces appear silently every day.
Although no country has officially declared war on other countries, everyone knows that war is inevitable.
In fact, although the armed war has not yet started in full swing, the battlefield without gunpowder smoke has already begun.
In addition to daimyo's allocation, participating in domestic and foreign missions is the main way for the ninja village to obtain funds. This is the intention of Suna Ninja and Yin Ninja to cut off the westward access to Konoha.
This is equivalent to directly or indirectly cutting off more than 1/5 of Konoha's economic sources.
This is a burden that no ninja village can bear.
Of course, this is also an unbearable burden for a certain ugly capitalist who is parasitic on the heads of Konoha ninjas, knocking their bones and sucking their marrow.
…
"Brother Yasuo, what is ten minus seven?"
In the Hearthstone Tavern, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two hundred-dollar bills in his hand, raised his head and asked.
"Isn't it equal to two?" Yasuo frowned and said decisively: "Are you lazy and distracted again in arithmetic class? You can't even calculate ten minus seven equals two!"
"I didn't desert, it was because the teacher taught me poorly."
Fugaku scratched his head, clasped his fingers and left with something to say.
“Ten minus seven equals two.”
"What does ten minus eight equal?"
"Why is arithmetic more difficult than Hearthstone..."
Looking at the back of this unfortunate child, Yasuo sighed deeply.
Hey, even Fugaku is starting to count money!
What does this mean?
This shows that even if Konoha's economy has not reached the edge of collapse, it has definitely entered a downward trend.
At least as far as Yasuo knows, among the current Anbu ninjas, except for the wind ninjas over seventy years old and under sixteen years old, who bucked the trend and increased their allowances and subsidies out of the virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, all Anbu ninjas are Benefits were cut.
I think the situation in the police force is not much better, and Captain Fukuyama's allowance must have shrunk.
It seems that I can no longer be so unscrupulous in gathering the wool of Fugaku's sheep...
Yasuo shook his head helplessly, looking at the tavern that had become increasingly popular in the past two years, and fell into deep thought.
It's okay to be used to hard times, but in the past two years, Konoha's economy has been booming.
Especially the Blackwater Entertainment Street made the ninjas realize that they can become stronger by recharging money, and money can really buy happiness.
The importance of money has never been higher in Konoha.
Under such a situation, everyone's hatred for the Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja increased day by day.
"Yasuo!"
While Yasuo was in a daze, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru came to the tavern together.
"Did the Sandaime give you a day off today?"
Yasuo asked doubtfully. In his impression, these friends have been very busy recently.
Changing from his usual salty appearance, Hiruzen Sarutobi seems to have the potential to become a devil's coach recently.
The training tasks assigned to the three disciples every day are all at the Jonin level.
Maybe they feel that time is running out, and hope to improve the strength of several disciples before the war. After all, war is ruthless, and things like white-haired people sending black-haired people are not news in war years.
Jiraiya sat on the bar and started to look for a drink while replying: "Today is a rare rest. I heard Master Biwako say that Elder Danzo fought for this for us. What is the work-rest training method? It can get twice the result with half the effort, and it is said that there is a more powerful training method called Immovable Mountain, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t teach it.”
"Elder Danzo? Shimura Danzo?"
Yasuo blinked, feeling a little unbelievable.
Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, that's him, a very easy-to-get-together uncle!"
"If you say yes, then that's it..."
Yasuo shook his head and poured a glass of grape wine for both Tsunade and Orochimaru. The four of them toasted together and drank for a while.
Putting down the wine glass, Jiraiya said impatiently: "Yasuo, do you know? My new book is a hit!"
"The number of clicks has exceeded 100,000, and the number is still increasing!"
Tsunade ended Jiraiya's elated performance with a skull-crushing punch, and said angrily: "Can the kind of thing you write be called a novel? It's too obscene, especially that Uncle Qin, he's such an old man Don’t be ashamed!”
"This is called art. Do you understand art? You violent woman!"
Jiraiya rubbed his head and said angrily: "And Uncle Qin is a character I just wrote two days ago, okay? How did you know!"
Tsunade blushed and said: "I just like to look backwards, you can control it!"
Yasuo shook his head and held Tsunade's small fist. With this punch, Jiraiya would probably waste a lot of his life potion again.
"Jiraiya has this hobby, let him use it. At least he can earn some royalties."
"Yes, the royalties for this book are quite high. Yasuo, you gave me such a good idea, but you lost a lot!" Jiraiya said proudly.
Yasuo glanced at the backstage of Konoha Literature and gave a thumbs up to Zi Ziran: "Yes, I lost and you made a profit!"
…
"Boss, I'd like three boxes of these, and I want the flue-cured blueberry flavor, thank you!"
"The blueberry flavor is gone. Can I have the curry flavor?"
"It works!"
While Yasuo and his friends were having a drink, two tall figures appeared in the tavern.
"Yasuo-kun, the auras of these two people are very dangerous." Orochimaru's vertical pupils shrank slightly and he whispered.
"It's okay." Yasuo shook his head and said, "I'm a regular customer."
As he said that, he took out three boxes of medicines from the bottom of the wine cabinet at the back and handed them to the visitor: "Here, they are all the most authentic products."
"I still trust the little boss's products."
The tall man took the medicine without looking at it, put it in his arms, nodded and said: "Let me and my companions each use the computer for five hours, and then after five hours, prepare fried chicken and Coke for me." I want to take away the takeaway."
…
Sitting in front of the computer that he had not seen for a long time, Kakuzu opened the familiar interface, and the desolate background music of the legend of the ninja world rang.
"Kakuzu-san, we can only play once or twice a month. We were originally at a disadvantage, but now because of the mother and daughter, even the all-night time has been compressed. It's really unpleasant!"
Demon Zhan on the side was equally excited to log in to his account, but at the same time he was a little disappointed and complained about Kakuzu's decision.
"Who makes you disagree with bringing Yoko and Konan to Konoha?"
"How can you blame me? It will take at least two or three months to come to Konoha with these two burdens! Doesn't that mean there is no time for leveling up?"
"Okay, okay, stop complaining. A person's destiny, of course, depends on self-strength, but we must also consider the process of history."
Jiaodu stared at the screen, with a cruel smile on his lips: "Look, the opportunity has come, killing this big fat sheep is worth two months of hard leveling!"
The character controlled by Jiaodu in the middle of the screen quietly approached a very high-level assassin who was wearing luxurious equipment and tried his best to move around and compete with two whiteboard monsters, who were equally matched...
