Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 81 The Land of Waves is at peace!

The execution ground in the metropolis of the Land of Waves.

At this moment, the place was packed with people, three layers deep.

After handing the development plan to Mitsuhashi Shin, Natsume did not leave immediately.

After all, they had never been to school, so they had difficulty grasping many details and needed his guidance.

Although he hadn't actually practiced it himself, he had seen quite a lot, so he wasn't completely blind to it.

Half a month later, Mitsuhashi Shin and his accomplices had completely switched the ownership of Kado's company and gained full control of it.

The first step is complete; we move on to the next step.

They took over the Land of Waves and gained the people's support.

It's a simple step.

Not long ago, Keisha, Tazuna's adopted son, led the island's inhabitants in a rebellion, but was executed by Kado.

The hatred level is already at its maximum.

In addition, Natsume will arrange suitable jobs for them, so that they can contribute to the Land of Waves.

Hello everyone! I'm Tazuna.

An old man was excitedly giving a speech in front of Kado.

Natsume doesn't particularly like him, but he has the best reputation in the Land of Waves. Turning him to his side would save a lot of trouble.

"Why kill Cado? Because they robbed shipping routes and destroyed the bridge. Killing Cado was to make everyone understand that the old way of life is gone forever!"

Tazuna waved excitedly and shouted, "Lord Takashi has arrived! Peace has returned to the Land of Waves!"

Takashi is a pseudonym given by Natsume.

"I am now the chief bridge builder of Wanli Sunshine Shipping Company. The salary is very good. I can earn tens of thousands of taels every month. If the bridge is completed, there will be a bonus of 500,000 taels."

After making a grand promise, Dazner moved on to the recruitment process: "We urgently need experts in bridge construction, shipping, fishing, and other fields. We welcome everyone to join us, and the compensation is excellent."

The crowd erupted in cheers.

With Kado dead, the survival crisis is over.

With so many jobs, life will become more prosperous.

In an instant, Wanli Sunshine Shipping Company became a sacred place they longed for in their minds.

Natsume nodded in satisfaction.

Having Tazner step in was definitely the right decision.

The Land of Waves is now entirely in his hands.

"Execute!"

Dazner turned to look at Cardo and called out.

A flash of light.

Kado's head hit the ground.

The crowd erupted in unprecedented cheers, swept up in extreme excitement.

"Mitsuhashi Nobu, the rest is up to you."

Natsume withdrew his gaze and said.

Of course, this is temporary. When he returns, we will replace Mitsuhashi Nobu with a more capable and loyal person.

"yes!"

Mitsuhashi Shin looked at him with adoration.

In the past two weeks, he has had a truly eye-opening experience, learning all sorts of amazing and unprecedented knowledge.

I have the utmost respect for Natsume.

After a two-week delay, Natsume set sail again for the Land of Water.

This time he went on a merchant ship of the Wanli Sunshine Company.

Kado, whose business dealings were most frequent with the Land of Water in the past.

The reason why the Land of Water is called the Land of Water is because it has abundant water and a well-developed maritime trade system.

Kado, of course, wouldn't let it go, and every year he spent a huge sum of money bribing the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water.

It even got to the point where they could use their names.

His ability to survive safely for so many years is inseparable from the Land of Water.

Now it's Natsume who benefits.

He planned to enter Kirigakure under the guise of a merchant.

As for who Gato is, the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water don't care, as long as they keep paying him.

After Obito Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, he did nothing except persecute the bloodline limit ninja clans and ninjas.

For example, the connection with the Land of Water.

In other words, Natsume is now barely considered their boss or major financial backer.

As long as it's not too excessive, you won't be attacked.

Three days later, Natsume arrived at Kirigakure.

He was greeted by Mei Terumi.

This is no coincidence.

Instead, he issued an order through the Land of Water, saying that a young ninja representative was needed to conduct investment negotiations.

After Obito Uchiha's rampage, Kirigakure was weakened to the extreme.

The first and second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were either killed or fled.

The third generation, Hozuki Suigetsu and Chojuro, were still little kids under ten years old.

Of the older generation, only the ruthless killer Qing and the highly respected Elder Yuan Shi remained.

Two Jinchūriki were involved: Yagura was imprisoned, and Utakata defected.

To produce someone like Terumi Mei is truly a stroke of good fortune.

But she alone cannot change the situation of the Hidden Mist Village being in a period of transition.

The Sixth Mizukage, Chojuro, was arguably the weakest Mizukage, with a truly appalling record.

Mei Terumi, dressed in a blue dress, brought a touch of brightness to the lifeless Hidden Mist Village.

Her long, reddish-brown hair cascaded down her back, reaching her slender thighs.

Her right eye was covered by her bangs, but her bright green eyes revealed a calmness and composure beyond her years.

Her thin, red lips were slightly pursed, revealing a subtle smile, which was perfectly polite.

"Hello, I'm Mei Terumi. Are you Lord Takashi?"

The title "sir" is given because of the order from the Land of Water, and also because of the allure of money.

Mei Terumi sized him up.

Natsume didn't use the transformation technique because it would be detected, so he simply wore a cat mask, only revealing his eyes.

Although you can't see the faces, the overall presentation is quite good.

His clothes were impeccably clean and tidy, and his eyes were bright and piercing, not lewd.

She was willing to personally greet him this time because of the money.

Mei Terumi possesses the strongest strength and talent of her generation, and Yagura Karatachi's bloody rule makes her seem extremely normal in comparison.

In the eyes of many ninjas, she is already the next Mizukage.

Mei Terumi is a career-oriented ninja who loves Kirigakure and wants to revitalize the village.

"I am."

Natsume nodded and said, "Please lead the way."

"no problem."

Mei Terumi withdrew her gaze, turned around, and walked ahead.

Kirigakure, a ninja village shrouded in thick fog.

In addition, Yagura's bloody rule always gave Natsume a sense of oppression, far less comfortable than Konoha Village.

The ninjas we encountered along the way were all rather apathetic, having lost their vitality, or rather, their hope.

"Lord Takashi, I have a question I would like to ask you."

Mei Terumi turned her head, her tone inquisitive, and asked, "Why did you invest in Kirigakure?"

Why would you ask that?

Natsume didn't answer, but instead asked, "Don't you welcome them?"

"The environment in Kirigakure has been quite bad in recent years, and the businessmen who came to invest have all left. It's rather strange that you're going against the grain."

Mei Terumi, who was able to turn the tide after Yagura's death, was no ordinary person.

It's perfectly reasonable to say that.

Natsume actually admired her a little.

Starting with Kirigakure, one of the five major villages, is undoubtedly a hellish difficulty level.

Mei Terumi has done a pretty good job.

"Other merchants will leave, and our company will become the only trading partner of Kirigakure. At that time, we will be able to reap rich rewards."

Natsume pointed to his eyes and said, "This is a long-term investment because I believe Kirigakure won't stay this bad forever."

Terumi Mei stared at him.

Those eyes were filled with sincerity, even more resolute than most Hidden Mist Village ninjas.

She paused slightly, feeling a sense of connection with someone.

Because she also believed that Kirigakure would soon see a turnaround, and that everything now was only temporary.

It's truly surprising that a businessman would have such an idea.

"I was deeply impressed by Lord Takashi's courage."

Mei Terumi turned to look ahead, her tone quite certain, and said, "If you're willing to invest, Kirigakure won't let you down."
