Chapter 159 Cooperation with Yekura (First and Second Updates)

Although Natsuki planned to go to the Land of Demons after the New Year holiday, it was actually impossible to go that soon.

the reason is simple.

We need to forge the Black Grail first.

Otherwise, if the demon escapes and there is no Black Grail, it will have to be resealed.

Letting it go and then sealing it up again, isn't that redundant?

Fortunately, the Infinite City was unlocked.

Xia Mu temporarily stabilized the rope tree by using the construction of an alternate dimension as a pretext.

He showed great enthusiasm for building the house.

In addition, there are Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi, who both hope to have their own houses in the other dimension.

The space in the alternate dimension is very large; each person can live in a house without any problems.

With a wave of his hand, Xia Mu let them build their own houses according to their own ideas.

Because the alternate dimension is fixed.

He only needs to grant them permission to freely enter and exit the alternate dimension.

Xia Mu then returned to the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

"Teacher Natsuki, the Ice Maiden has awakened a spatial-type Blood Demon Art that can fix a separate dimension!"

Upon seeing him, Yahiko eagerly exclaimed, "I think it could serve as a secret base for the Akatsuki!"

"I came back to discuss this matter with you."

Xia Mu nodded, then asked, "Where do you plan to put this alternate dimension?"

"Ms. Natsuki, why do you ask that?"

Yahiko asked, puzzled, "Shouldn't it just be here?"

"I want to place it in Amegakure."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and the Ice Maiden looked at each other, completely unprepared for this answer.

"The Akatsuki's goal is to restore peace to the Land of Rain."

Xia Mu said calmly, "Amegakure is of utmost importance and must be brought under the control of Akatsuki."

Yahiko's eyes lit up immediately.

He naturally had designs on Amegakure.

After all, the Akatsuki organization is not recognized by the major powers.

If Akatsuki could replace Amegakure, it would become a legitimate ninja village, and many of its actions would have a legitimate reason to be taken.

"But our Akatsuki organization can't beat Amegakure right now."

Nagato spoke first.

"I believe that one day our Akatsuki organization will surpass Amegakure!"

Yahiko clenched his fist and said.

"Um."

Xia Mu concluded, "Let's not use this alternate dimension yet. We'll use it after we take over Amegakure."

He didn't tell them that Amegakure was now under his control.

Because it is not necessary.

In his plan, the Akatsuki organization would have a battle with Amegakure.

This is the battle that will test their strength.

If they can't even defeat Amegakure without Hanzo, then they have no way to establish themselves in the ninja world.

After talking with them, Xia Mu went to the orphanage again.

"Natsuki-sama."

Chino quickly walked up to him.

"How is the orphanage?"

Xia Mu asked.

"Currently, four orphans have mastered the art of shaving."

Chino replied.

Xia Mu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

The training of physical skills has always been difficult to begin with.

After all, a certain physical foundation is required.

As time went by, the physical strength of the orphans in the orphanage continued to increase.

The further you go, the more orphans learn the Six Styles of Konoha.

If we're lucky, nine orphans will learn to shave this year.

Even if we're unlucky, there should still be nine lonely people learning to shave next year.

At that time, Xia Mu will be able to unlock the Door-Door Fruit of the Bruno template.

"Natsuki-sama."

Chino added, "Last week, we received news from the Snow Country Research Institute that the rainwater collection and purification device has been successfully developed."

Xia Mu thought to himself that this was an unexpected surprise.

That's normal, though.

Rainwater harvesting and purification devices are much simpler than computers and the Internet.

In addition, Xia Mu gathered the best researchers from the three countries of Rain Country, Snow Country, and Demon Country to conduct research day and night.

The fact that we're only seeing results now is already considered quite slow.

But considering the era, it's understandable.

"Immediately have them send people over to set up a factory in the Land of Rain and start production."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Remember to do it in the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain."

He planned to take advantage of the unspoken rules of the ninja world, or rather, the ninja code of conduct.

If you do business with Sunagakure in the name of Amegakure or Akatsuki, you are likely to be double-crossed.

However, it's a different story when one is in the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain.

After all, Sunagakure wouldn't easily offend a daimyo.

Amegakure is right next to the Land of Wind. If it develops, it will also have many missions to give to Sunagakure.

Especially now that Hanzo is no longer around.

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

Chino immediately responded.

Natsuki reappeared in front of Yahiko and the others.

He taught them while waiting.

A week later, researchers from the Land of Snow arrived, bringing rainwater collection and purification devices.

With the help of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, a factory called Hope was successfully established.

Xia Mu inquired about the situation.

It will take at least three more months to produce clean drinking water for the market.

Three months isn't a long time.

Especially if they want to sell to Sunagakure Village, they need to build transportation pipelines.

With that thought in mind, Natsuki bid farewell to Yahiko and the others and headed to Sunagakure.

Two days later, he arrived at Sunagakure.

Natsuki used the Kibutsuji Muzan template to completely mimic the character, transforming into an ordinary young man and successfully infiltrating the ranks.

Outside of the Ninja Wars, the major ninja villages did not check outsiders as strictly.

Of course, if you choose to sneak into Sunagakure instead of going through the main gate, the difficulty will increase dramatically.

After all, Sunagakure, as one of the five great ninja villages, has a sensory barrier in place.

However, it's still unlikely to stop a truly powerful individual.

Xia Mu found it too troublesome.

Furthermore, with his perfect mimicry, he didn't need to go through so much trouble to infiltrate Sunagakure.

Yekura is very famous in Sunagakure.

Xia Mu only needed to ask around a little to find out where her house was.

He arrived at her home quickly.

Perhaps because she hadn't finished get off work yet, her house was empty.

Xia Mu wasn't in a hurry and waited at the door.

Half an hour later, Yekura appeared, wearing a backless dress.

When she saw the unfamiliar Xia Mu, she immediately became wary.

However, since this was Sunagakure, she wasn't too worried about anything going wrong.

"Who are you?"

Ye Cang stepped forward and asked.

"Natsuki."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"You're really brave."

Ye Cang's gaze sharpened, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll arrest you?"

"We're partners, after all. I trust you won't do that."

Xia Mu said casually.

"Alliance agreements between ninja villages can be torn up at any time, let alone verbal partnerships."

Ye Cang gave a light snort and said.

"Then you can try and see if you catch me or I catch you."

Xia Mu said nonchalantly.

"What do you want from me?"

Ye Cang was silent for two seconds before asking.

To be honest, for a fleeting moment she really wanted to grab Xia Mu.

Given Xia Mu's current status and position, capturing him would be a great achievement.

However, considering his strength, she chose to give up.

Even though this is Sunagakure, they can mobilize a large number of ninjas in a short time.

However, the price to pay for capturing a powerful individual with Kage-level strength would be extremely high.

Even if they were caught, it wouldn't be worth the loss.

On the contrary, it might provoke a war between Sunagakure and Konoha.

If another war breaks out, Sunagakure will definitely lose again.

I heard you're in a bad situation right now.

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"You intend to harm Luo Sha?"

Ye Cang frowned subconsciously and asked.

"Konoha and Sunagakure have only recently signed an alliance. If I kill Rasa, it will damage Konoha's reputation."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "I'm talking about something else."

"What?"

Ye Cang asked in confusion.

She couldn't imagine how Xia Mu could possibly help her.

"Isn't your Sunagakure village short of money?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"Are you just going to give me the money directly?"

Ye Cang raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise and suspicion on his face, and asked, "How much money do you have?"

You can't blame her for asking that.

After all, the funds required for a ninja village are astronomical.

How could Xia Mu possibly have so much money?

Especially the five great ninja villages.

Apart from the five major powers, other small countries would find it difficult to support them.

"It's not about giving you money, it's about doing business with you."

With a smile, Xia Mu said, "I have brought something that is most scarce in both Sunagakure and the Land of Wind."

"The rarest thing?"

Ye Cang subconsciously fell into thought. "You mean—water?"

The two things that Sunagakure and the Land of Wind lack most are money and water.

They'll either give you money or water.

"good."

Natsuki reminded him, "As you know, Amegakure is actually under the control of Konoha right now."

Are you referring to rainwater?

Yekura realized what was happening, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Why didn't anyone in Sunagakure think of this before?

The answer was clearly placed on the table.

"I ordered people to study rainwater harvesting and rainwater purification devices."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "Purified rainwater can be used as drinking water."

Ye Cang was startled.

She started moving around instinctively.

Although she was a ninja, she was also aware of the terrifying business opportunities and the benefits they would bring her.

Xia Mu's gaze fell on her smooth back.

Her backless dress reached all the way down to her waist, truly reflecting her fiery personality.

"How is it?"

Xia Mu urged, "Do you want to cooperate with me?"

'

"want!"

Ye Cang said without hesitation.

As Natsuki said, Amegakure is now under the control of Konoha.

Sunagakure cannot get involved, nor can it conduct this business independently of Konoha.

The only solution is to cooperate with Natsuki.

As for Xia Mu, she wasn't his only collaborator.

If he goes to Rasa or Gravel, they will most likely set aside their hatred and cooperate with Natsuki.

After all, this matter is beneficial to the entire Sand Village, and could even overthrow the Heavenly Generals and affect the Land of Wind.

The village of Sunagakure primarily uses water for drinking.

But the Land of Wind needs water for irrigation.

It is an irresistible temptation for the entire Wind Kingdom.

"I need you to solve the transportation problem."

Xia Mu suggested, "We could build underground transport pipelines, or above ground, but that wouldn't be as safe."

Yecang nodded.

When constructing underground transport pipelines, it's acceptable to deliberately make them more complex.

In this way, even if others want to sabotage it, it will not be easy to damage the correct transportation pipeline.

"This is not difficult."

Ye Cang paused for a moment, then asked, "What are the specific requirements for cooperation?"

For ninjas, building transport pipelines is simply a matter of ninjutsu.

Besides Wind Release ninjas, Sunagakure also has a considerable number of Earth Release ninjas, enough to accomplish this task.

"You're not cooperating with me, you're cooperating with the Daimyo of the Land of Rain."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "After a while, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain will send a professional to talk to you."

He was referring to Kakuzu, of course.

Now that the business in the Land of Demons has stabilized, there is no longer a need for him to oversee it.

Furthermore, if the demon is successfully defeated, the priestess Miroku of the Land of Demons will also provide her full support.

At that time, Dawn Company's business will be even less of a concern.

Kakuzu can then return to the Land of Rain and take charge of the rainwater business.

"You actually managed to persuade the daimyo of the Land of Rain?"

Yekura was somewhat surprised.

"As long as I can make money, that's fine."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Yekura definitely has the traditional ninja mindset.

She never even considered that he would control the Daimyo of the Land of Rain.

That's normal, though.

Even when Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, became a gold miner, he never thought of controlling the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

After all, controlling the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and increasing the investment in Sunagakure could solve Sunagakure's predicament.

All Natsuki can say is that even the ninja world has its own destiny.

These ninjas clearly possessed extraordinary strength, but they were excessively law-abiding.

"Can."

Ye Cang thought for a moment, then took out a kunai and said, "My name is engraved on this; it can serve as a token."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Xia Mu took the kunai and said.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Ye Cang looked at him, somewhat dazed.

She hadn't expected Xia Mu to bring her such a big surprise this time.

Water is undoubtedly one of the lifebloods of Sunagakure and the Land of Wind.

If she can master this skill, her chances of becoming the next Kazekage will greatly increase.

I just don't know what kind of conditions Natsuki will propose.

"I have to warn you, this business will definitely be targeted by Luo Sha and his gang, so you'd better watch out for them."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "They might even try to harm you."

I agree with the first part of your statement.

Ye Cang said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about me. I know what to do."

Xia Mu discovered that she was somewhat like Rope Tree, possessing a naive trust in the village.

No wonder he was used as a scapegoat by Sunagakure in the original work.

After all, any shrewd and calculating person would not have ended up in this situation.

Even if things go wrong, they'll just send someone else to their death.

This means that not a single person in the Sunagakure leadership supports Yekura.

"Good luck."

Xia Mu didn't say anything more.

After all, if Rasa and his group really took action against Yekura, it would actually benefit their cooperation.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Ye Cang dies, it won't have a significant impact on him.

If Rasa and his group want to do business with rainwater, they can't avoid Amegakure and the Land of Rain, and therefore they can't avoid him.

Apart from the Land of Rain, it would be difficult to find so many water sources in other countries.

Even if such an opportunity arises, cooperation may not necessarily be achieved.

The other four major countries and four major villages would certainly not agree.

And behind small countries and small ninja villages, their shadows often lie, making it not difficult to sabotage a business.

Xia Mu turned and left.

After returning to the metropolis of the Land of Rain, he sent Fengxin with a group to the Land of Demons to replace Kakuzu, and also to inform him to return.

Feng Xin has already unlocked the Blood Demon Art: Storm Blade, and with his Platform Escape, he is more than capable of temporarily taking charge of a Demon Kingdom.

Xia Mu didn't have to wait long.

Three days later, Kakuzu returned to the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

Xia Mu then took him to the Hope Water Factory.

"It's a simple yet unexpected business."

"Kakuzu sighed."

The Land of Rain has existed for so long, but no one has thought of making money from rainwater like Xia Mu.

No, perhaps others have come up with the same idea, but they just don't have his ability and methods.

Research on rainwater harvesting and purification devices is not something that can be accomplished by ordinary people.

"I brought you back so that you could take charge of the Hope Water Plant."

"9

Xia Mu smiled and said, "I've already secured our first client, Yekura from Sunagakure."

"You have a partnership with Pakura of Sunagakure?"

Kakuzu was somewhat surprised by what he heard.

Both Natsuki and Yekura are important figures in their respective ninja villages.

If news of their cooperation gets out, the Kage of both ninja villages will likely become suspicious of them.

"It's simply a matter of each person getting what they need."

Xia Mu casually handed him Ye Cang's kunai and said, "Take this kunai and go talk to Ye Cang about the specific details of the cooperation."

.

"What are our bottom lines?"

Kakuzu nodded and then asked.

"Naturally, we'll take the largest share."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "At least 70%, the rest depends on how you negotiate."

"Do you have something on Yekura?"

Kakuzu asked curiously.

Seventy percent is a rather exaggerated percentage.

He felt it wouldn't be good to talk without some leverage over the other party.

"It's nothing, she just wants to be the Kazekage."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"I see."

Kakuzu immediately understood.

"You can also use Leaf Warehouse to do business with the Land of Wind. The real big customer is actually the Land of Wind."

Natsuki added, "But I suspect that Yekura will also get involved, using the Land of Wind to make it easier for her to become the Kazekage."

"I understand, I'll talk to her about it."

Kakuzu's spirits lifted, and he said with great enthusiasm, "This is a big deal."

This kind of business, which involves the lifeline of the Land of Wind, can earn far more money than a few bounties.

He increasingly felt that his previous practice of placing bounties everywhere was a waste of time.

It's such a pity I didn't meet Xia Mu sooner.

the next day.

Kakuzu then headed to Sunagakure.

Xia Mu did not wait for the result, but returned to Konoha Village.

The negotiations with Yekura certainly wouldn't end in a day or two, and he couldn't be bothered to wait.

Anyway, the corner will send someone to inform him when the time comes.

Two more months passed.

The first day of March.

Natsuki finally met the ninja cat sent by Granny Cat.

He quickly followed it to the empty area.

"There's only one material you needed that we couldn't find."

Grandma Cat got straight to the point, "But I've heard that it might be in the Land of Demons."

"Thank you, Grandma Cat."

Xia Mu accepted the spirit storage scroll.

After he opened it and checked it, he found that one material called Moonstone was missing.

This is precisely the key material of the Black Grail.

In the Land of Demons? That's quite a coincidence.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Because the black Holy Grail blueprints provided by the system are a localized version.

This moonstone is likely related to the mythical creature Kui Liang.
