Naruto: The Strongest Force

There was a sudden sound from below.

Natsuki looked down and saw several ANBU of Kirigakure.

Xia Mu lowered his figure so that the people below could see Xia Mu's appearance clearly.

Kirigakure's Anbu were startled, and they all lowered their heads and saluted: "See you, Natsuki-sama!"

Xia Mu asked doubtfully:

"What's going on? Hasn't Yu Gao taken him back yet?"

Kirigakure’s Anbu is a bit awkward:

"Go back to Natsuki-sama, Yugao refuses to come back to Kirigakure with us."

Xia Mu frowned slightly: "Are you guys fighting? Where is the sword?"

Kirigakure ANBU was silent for a moment, then said:

"Yes, the captain suffered some injuries."

Xia Mu held his head and said: "You are really just living on dry food. You can't even catch a single Vulpix. No wonder your Water Country is recovering so slowly."

The ANBU could only bow their heads and say nothing after being sprayed by Natsuki. After all, Natsuki's identity was equivalent to their Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Moreover, Xia Mu helped them find the person, but they couldn't bring Yu Gao back. It was indeed their problem.

It is appropriate to give them a few words of instruction.

As for the last sentence, it is because there is no Jinchūriki in the Water Kingdom.

In terms of trade with other countries, they are all very disadvantaged.

As the largest maritime trading country, the Kingdom of Water has countless merchant ships sailing to various countries every day.

But now Kirigakure's overall strength can be said to have fallen to the same level as Sunagakure.

After all, Sunagakure still has a one-tailed Shukaku.

But Kirigakure had nothing. Before Goju Yagura was controlled, Kirigakure almost lost his family fortune.

After that, he was beaten once by Kumogakure. If it weren't for the awesomeness of the Akatsuki organization, it would be hard to say whether there would be a country of water or not.

The country's strength has declined to such an extent that it is normal to be bullied when doing business.

Now Kirigakure urgently needs to get the Jinchuriki back, as long as the Jinchuuriki returns to Kirigakure Village.

This will make everything better.

"Have they lost track of them again?"

"Back to Natsuki-sama, our people came here before and were about to take away Dunbei, but they bumped into Yugao."

"The captain and Yu Gao started fighting over a disagreement, and Yu Gao was no match for the adults at first."

"But then we captured the woman who was following Yu Gao. Yu Gao turned into a tailed beast, severely injured the captain and escaped."

"Now that we have lost their traces again, we are searching here to see if there are any clues or if their people will come back."

Xia Mu was speechless. Capturing someone else's wife in front of them and not beating your captain to death is already considered merciless.

Xia Mu rubbed his eyebrows. Now, Yu Gao's clues can only go to the hidden village of the Earth Spider Clan.

Now that he is free, he will help Kirigakure handle this matter first.

Anyway, my intelligence is much ahead.

Xia Mu took out a scroll from his body and wrote down what information he needed.

Then he performed the art of channeling.

boom.

"quack……"

A crow appeared here, and Xiamu took the letter written by Naruto from the crow's feet.

Then he put the scroll on the crow and sent the crow away.

Natsuki asked Naruto to bring news to Minato and asked Minato to help investigate.

The Hokage has an alliance with the Earth Spider Clan and has the address of the Earth Spider Clan directly.

Natsuki opened the letter written by Naruto, and Naruto complained that Natsuki took Sasuke away directly.

He also said that he was undergoing hellish training from Minato every day.

Natsuki smiled, it seemed that Minato and Urashiki were a little anxious after having a fight.

……

Although Kirigakure's Anbu didn't know what Natsuki was doing.

But they all stayed quietly.

After Xia Mu put the psychic beast over, he looked at the time.

It was still early, Naruto should have the news over to him before night.

"Information should be sent before tonight. Now tell me, what is the current situation in the Kingdom of Water?"

Natsuki ordered to Kirigakure in front of him.

Kirigakure hesitated a little, but honestly told Natsuki the current recovery situation of the Water Country.

This kind of thing is not a secret, and it doesn't matter if you tell Xia Mu.

There are not enough Kirigakure ninjas, so many tasks in the Kingdom of Water are given to Yaogakure.

So now Kirigakure and Yaogakure are very close.

As this ANBU tells it.

Natsuki also knew the difficulties of the Water Kingdom.

……

Chapter 566 Stubborn and stupid

There was no business in the sea, and the profits were huge, so a profession naturally sprang up.

pirate.

The pirates are a mixed bag, and you don’t even know which force the other party belongs to.

It may even be the power of the Kingdom of Water.

The Kingdom of Water was originally supported by maritime trade, and pirates were the biggest blood-sucking insects to the Kingdom of Water.

Pirates only steal things but don't kill anyone, and they will keep some of the goods with you, so you don't lose much.

In the past, few people dared to rob ships from the Kingdom of Water.

It's because of Kirigakure's name of Blood Mist that all of them are madmen and have super strong fighting power.

But during those years when Obito was making trouble, all Kirigakure's heritage was lost.

The people of Kirigakure fled to death, and the blood-successor families of the Kingdom of Water were wiped out one by one.

Kumogakure later also presided over the invasion of Water Country.

Although Kumogakure was finally repelled, Kirigakure exposed the fact that his family was weak.

Maritime routes are originally under the control of whichever country they are close to.

The Kingdom of Water's ability to control the surrounding sea areas has plummeted.

Unless you have the ability to make a final decision on things like pirates, you can't defeat them with a small number of people.

You send a large force to encircle and suppress them, but they will escape on their own.

As soon as your encirclement and suppression personnel leave, they will come back.

The Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water had a fight, and now they have a laissez-faire attitude towards pirates on the sea.

As long as he didn't rob the ship of the Kingdom of Thunder, Kumogakure would turn a blind eye.

But precisely because of the connivance of the Kingdom of Thunder, pirates have a tendency to become increasingly rampant.

These pirates are very thieves, and they basically only rob the merchant ships of the country of water.

Who makes you weak? A weak country has no diplomacy.

On this route, only by hiring enough guards can merchant ships be protected from intrusion.

The Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Water hired more guards, so the benefits were slim.

And due to the poor relationship between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Water needs to pay a huge escort fee if they want to pass the route of the Kingdom of Thunder.

The kind that can’t be done without giving, the kind that can’t be done even if you don’t want to be escorted.

Because you may encounter people from the Kingdom of Thunder who are jinchūriki.

In front of the Jinchuuriki, no matter how many guards there are, they are just decoration.

The merchant ships of the Kingdom of Water cannot be beaten or run away.

In fact, the Kingdom of Thunder is pretty good, obviously it can be robbed, but it has to be said to be an escort fee.

Of course, if there is no resistance, Kumogakure will not kill people randomly.

If you pay the money obediently, they will let you go, and they will even escort you for a while.

But what Yunyin took away was basically 70-80% of the profit.

The caravans in the Kingdom of Water suffered heavy losses.

But even if the Daimyo of Water Country protested, it was useless. Kumogakure did not kill anyone, but only collected money in the name of escort fees.

There are only so many safe routes in the ocean, and you can't just go around them in circles if you want.

If we try to go around, we are likely to enter a dangerous channel.

There are many unknown dangers in those sea areas, even unknown giant sea creatures.

If you rashly take those waterways, the entire fleet may be lost.

But the caravan from the Kingdom of Water is not stupid, and Kirigakure can't do it without anyone.

Then you can also find Yaoyin next to Kirigakure.

Uchiha, the golden sign.

And I heard that Uchiha and Kumogakure have a good relationship.

Even Uchiha's ocean-going fleet purchased high-end ships from the Land of Thunder.

After the caravan from the Kingdom of Water tried it, they found that it was true.

Kumogakure always showed respect to Uchiha and gave him a relatively small amount of money, so he was let go without being beaten.

The other pirates didn't dare to rob, and there were Uchiha escorting the ship.

As a result, there were countless missions in which Uchiha was invited to escort the fleet.

Although a small team can be responsible for a fleet.

But there were only so many Uchiha people.

This is the Kingdom of Water, and all fleets have needs.

There are only so many people in the Uchiha clan. Your merchant ships can take ten days and a half for a short trip, and three months to half a year for a long trip.

Many Uchiha people are not happy to take on such a task.

Without the Uchiha clan.

The route between the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Thunder is basically in a situation where it is possible to run, but the risk is very high.

There is no more rebellion in the Kingdom of Water.

But restoring production is always more difficult than destroying it.

When Obito killed people, he was annihilating one clan after another. In addition, the rebellion broke out and many civilians were killed or injured.

Now that the rebellion has been put down, Terumi Mei's regime has been stabilized, but the recovery of people's livelihood has been quite slow.
