I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

The most terrible thing is that the three major ninja villages are not puppets of the daimyo and the nobles. Even if they respect the financial sponsors and are wary of the Ninja World Alliance, they have joined the united camp of various countries and ninja villages, including the Cloud Village, which has the best relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. It is impossible for them to risk all their assets at the command of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. Even if the Raikage gave the order, other high-level officials of the Cloud Village would not agree to such a stupid thing.

The reason is very simple. The intelligence of the three major ninja villages is still at a good level. Combined with the previous intelligence comparison of the Mist Village and the Sand Village, it is certain that the Ninja Alliance now has three tailed beasts in its hands, and there are at least five Kage-level powerhouses (the identities of Orochimaru, Tsunade and others have not been leaked yet). The number of ninja troops is at least more than 50,000. In addition, the other side only needs to guard a few places and oceans, so they have a huge defensive advantage over the coalition camp.

At least, the three major ninja villages and a bunch of small ninja villages have a total of five tailed beasts (the two-tailed Neko-chan was thought to be lost by the Kumogami Village), but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village is only a few years old. In fact, the three major ninja villages and Takigami Village only have four tailed beast Jinchuriki.

As for the ninja army, with the three major ninja villages and a group of small ninja villages, plus the private armed forces of the daimyo and nobles of the three major countries and a group of small countries, and the samurai corps that the Iron Kingdom can mobilize, it is not difficult to gather a combat force of 100,000 Genin and above. Even if a certain number of ninja troops are stationed in port cities and borders, it should be possible to mobilize a large number of ninja troops to launch their own offensive against the Ninja Alliance.

But the key issue is that the advantage of the United Camp is only on paper. It is difficult to unify the opinions of the three major countries, the three major ninja villages and a group of small countries and small ninja villages. Everyone cares about their own interests and wants others to make sacrifices for themselves. No daimyo or village shadow is a fool, and the Ninja Alliance is not a soft persimmon. Naturally, no village shadow and the daimyo of his country are willing to fight his ninja army with the Ninja Alliance to benefit other forces.

It was precisely because he saw the weakness of the united camp that Li Mo did not let the Ninja Alliance take action immediately. Instead, he slowly stopped the offensive and turned to digest the population and resources he had swallowed. The various forces in the united camp were also wary of the powerful strength of the Ninja Alliance and were unwilling to sacrifice themselves to benefit others. So they could only stare at the Ninja Alliance, resulting in a stalemate between the two major forces.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed like flowing water. Although the stalemate between the two major forces in the ninja world had not yet erupted into a real large-scale war, it had already undergone tremendous changes...

Chapter 60: Changes in Konoha

64 years of Konoha

This year, according to the original anime plot of "Naruto", Team 7 composed of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura should have gone through the mission in Wave Country and prepared for the Chunin Exam. However, the current situation is completely different from the original plot.

Thanks to the establishment of the Ninja Alliance several years ago and its swallowing up of the Water Kingdom, the Wind Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, the Lightning Kingdom and a bunch of small countries, they united their own ninja villages to form a united camp to confront the Ninja Alliance. The plot of the original anime "Naruto" is completely broken. Even if the original author Masashi Kishimoto came over, he probably wouldn't recognize that this Ninja World was the comic he drew. Its changes are beyond his understanding.

Without saying much, Li Mo conquered the Water Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom successively. Zabuza Momochi did not betray the Mist Village because of trying to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage. Small ocean countries such as the Wave Kingdom and the Whirlpool Kingdom became part of the Ninja Alliance. Team 7, which has the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, would never go to the Wave Kingdom to carry out any mission.

Even in the original anime plot line of "Naruto", the Uchiha clan of Konoha Village, which had been wiped out at this time, was due to the powerful threat of the Ninja Alliance, which led to the abdication of the Third Hokage and the ascension of the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya three years ago. Without the existence of Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, the Uchiha clan was still alive and well, and the filial son Uchiha Itachi and the traitor Uchiha Shisui were still in the family.

After all, according to the original plot line, the main reasons for Konoha Village's suppression of the Uchiha clan and even the Root's involvement in the extermination of the clan were the disappearance of external threats to Konoha and the involvement of Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, as well as the mentally ill Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, and the presence of Shimura Danzo who was eyeing the Uchiha clan. In the end, the Uchiha clan was almost exterminated, leaving only Uchiha Sasuke, an orphan, in Konoha Village.

But the current situation in the ninja world is completely different. The establishment of the Ninja Alliance and the emergence of the United Camp have created a pattern of two strong opposing powers in the Ninja World. The Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Rain Kingdom are the first line of defense and may start a war with the Ninja Alliance at any time.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Konoha Village to be on the verge of hostility. Even if Danzo Shimura wants to destroy the Uchiha clan and plunder those Sharingan, the Third Hokage and even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire cannot let him realize his idea. Otherwise, once Konoha Village, which is facing a powerful enemy, has chaos inside, it is foreseeable that it will be defeated. They are not so stupid as to cut off their own limbs in front of a powerful enemy.

Especially when Konoha Village and Iwagakure were facing the Ninja Alliance on land, the Third Hokage was exhausted and had to ask Jiraiya to be the Fifth Hokage, so that he stepped down and took control of part of the power of Konoha Village. Moreover, Konoha Village did not follow the original plot, where even the new generation of ninja clan members did not receive much training. Whether it was the Uchiha family, the Hyuga family, or even the Ino-Shika-Chou family, they all tried their best to improve their combat effectiveness.

This is not just a game of playing ninja. Under the situation that a war with the Ninja Alliance may break out at any time and turn into the Fourth Ninja World War, each ninja clan in Konoha Village is trying their best to improve the combat effectiveness of their own children. And it is not only Konoha Village that does this. The Iwagakure, Lightning Village, Rain Village and even other small ninja villages have all used the united camp to enhance their own strength in the past few years.

However, the confrontation lasted for several years, and problems gradually arose on one side of the originally loose coalition camp, including Konoha Village, the leader of the five major ninja villages. Now, they have to face problems that they have never encountered before!

………………

"Why is the budget for the standing ninja army at the border increasing by another 30% this year?"

"This is nonsense. The Ninja Alliance's standing ninja army is equipped with chakra armor, chakra weapons, and various means of transportation. Our standing ninja army may not be better than theirs, but it can't be too much worse, right?!"

"But the daimyo really has no money. They have doubled the taxes, and many farmers can't bear it and have fled..."

In the large conference room of the Hokage building of Konoha Village, the high-ranking officials and elite jonin of Konoha Village gathered together, but there were no warm greetings when they discussed the matter. It was simply a game for funds and resources between the various departments and the standing ninja army.

Even the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, who was sitting in the main seat in the conference room, felt a splitting headache when he saw the quarreling senior officials of Konoha Village and the commander of the standing ninja army on the border. This was a common event that he had seen several times in important meetings of Konoha Village almost every year since he was captured in the Land of Hot Springs by the Third Hokage five years ago and was forced to become the Fifth Hokage.

There was no way. After several years, Konoha Village had been under the commission and orders of the Fire Nation Daimyo of the United Camp, and was facing the dual threats of land and sea while staying in the Fire Nation. After the Ninja Alliance swallowed up the Wind Nation, it began to strengthen the standing ninja army on the border and the vigilance of various ports. However, over the past few years, there were occasional small-scale reconnaissance and conflicts between the Ninja Alliance and the United Camp, but a full-scale war had never occurred.

But the problem is that the regular ninja troops stationed at the border by Konoha Village, Iwagakure and those small ninja villages are not like the ninjas in the ninja villages who practice while performing various commissioned tasks to earn money and prepare to fight on the battlefield. The united camp must at least ensure logistical supplies. However, the Fire Country, which has a regular ninja army of tens of thousands of people and has to bear the consumption of ninja armies in other places, naturally cannot invest unlimited resources.

After all, the population resources on the side of the United Camp are certainly more than those of the Ninja Alliance, but resource utilization is always a huge problem. Even if those daimyos and nobles grit their teeth and bleed at the beginning, it can only be said that it is pure wishful thinking to expect them to spend money and resources to the major ninja villages at the cost of their homes and fortunes.

In this regard, even the former three Hokage, the current Hokage advisor Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the current fifth Hokage Jiraiya, are unable to mediate the conflict in this regard, not to mention that the Konoha Village is almost quarreling over the annual budget!

"...Quiet! As for the standing ninja army, this year's budget will increase by at most 10%, and the funding for each department in the village will temporarily remain at 90% of last year's level!"

Seeing that the scene was getting lively and about to start a fight, Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, could no longer remain silent and interrupted the argument. Based on his status as the Fifth Hokage, he made a decision on Konoha Village's budget for this year.

"But, Godaime-sama..."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, the person in charge of the border standing ninja army, whose budget had been increased by 10%, was fine, but the leaders in charge of the funds of various departments in the village were a little hesitant. As for Mito Kado En, who was currently in charge of the logistics department, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something after exchanging glances with a few of his friends around him.

"Needless to say, the funding and supplies we received this year have dropped by 10% compared to last year!"

Jiraiya did not treat Mito Kado En, the former Hokage advisor, with a good look. He glanced at Shimura Danzo and Utane Koharu, who were wearing a newly transplanted arm, and gave a negative answer without hesitation. He also emphasized the importance of supporting the standing ninja army: "We can't rely on the daimyo. We must prioritize the combat effectiveness of the border ninja army. Other departments can only be patient for the time being..."

"Yes! Lord Godaime!"

Faced with the explanation of the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, no one, including Danzo Shimura, could refute it. In addition, the person in charge of the border ninja army and several of Jiraiya's trusted subordinates expressed their obedience at the first time. Everyone else followed the crowd respectfully. Even Danzo Shimura, who had challenged the Third Hokage, was helpless when facing Jiraiya, who had more powerful means, and could only bow his head and agree with the decision of the Fifth Hokage.

This is the intention of the United Camp and even the Daimyo of the Fire Nation. The Border Ninja Army is definitely the first priority. Other departments of Konoha Village can wait a little longer. Anyway, they have received the funding equivalent to 90% of last year!

……

"Jiraiya, weren't you a little too impatient just now?"

Later, on the platform of Hokage Rock, the former Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciple Jiraiya and could not help but speak. He could feel that his disciple had become more and more powerful in the past two years. Even Shimura Danzo had been suppressed and could not raise his head. Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu had been deprived of most of their rights.

"Old man, those guys who should be enjoying their retirement should go home and retire, instead of hindering us when a war might break out!"

Seeing that his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to smooth things over, Jiraiya lit a cigarette and smoked it, looking at the Konoha Village below the Hokage Rock which had hardly changed in the past few years. There was no doubt that many thoughts arose in his mind, but he was not too polite to his teacher, and there was even a hint of anger in his words.

Over the past few years, Jiraiya, who served as the Fifth Hokage, knew what a mess Konoha Village was in. It took them a long time to gradually restore their strength, but people like Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu would jump out from time to time to make trouble. If he could take direct action, Jiraiya would have the idea of ​​getting rid of these guys secretly. And his teacher, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who still holds on to power, is the same kind of person in his eyes.

If it weren't for the actions of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen in the past, which had disappointed Jiraiya so much, he would not have left Konoha Village directly after the Third Ninja World War and went to various places in the Ninja World to collect materials like Tsunade and Orochimaru. Now that he felt the storm coming in the Ninja World, he agreed to serve as the Fifth Hokage a few years ago, and naturally began to gradually realize his goal.

Jiraiya's pointed words made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turn livid, but he understood that his behavior was really not well-liked by his own disciples, and since he was unwilling and unable to turn against them, the two sides just parted with cold faces!

Chapter 61 Complaints and Helplessness

"Godaime-sama, this is the record of enemy intelligence teams that the border ninja army has discovered this year, as well as the casualties of our personnel!"

When Jiraiya parted ways with his teacher on bad terms and returned to the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building alone, an Anbu ninja wearing a fox mask quietly appeared in front of Jiraiya and respectfully handed him a stack of records and reports.

If there were Konoha residents who were familiar with this Anbu ninja present, they would find that his true identity was Uchiha Itachi from the original anime story of "Naruto". However, compared to the situation in the original anime of "Naruto" where he killed his father and mother and even attacked his own clansmen, and was given the title of "Itachi who exterminated the clan", Uchiha Itachi, who was affected by the storm brought by Li Mo, still had a good relationship with the Uchiha clan at this time. After all, the threat from external enemies overwhelmed the internal disputes in Konoha Village.

Even the Uchiha clan was tolerated by the Third Hokage during those years. Moreover, when Jiraiya became the Fifth Hokage, the relationship with the Uchiha clan had already returned to normal. Therefore, Uchiha Itachi naturally became an Anbu captain directly under Jiraiya!

"Sure enough, the Ninja Alliance has been continuously strengthening its infiltration and intelligence gathering work in recent years, and their equipment has become more and more outstanding, but the Fire Country and other countries are still imitating them!"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's arrival, Jiraiya took over the record report for this year and flipped through it. His face became uglier and uglier. He thought about the chakra armor and chakra weapons that he had seen seized from his opponents, and then thought about the current predicament of Konoha Village. He couldn't help but complain: "It's just that the daimyo and those nobles are making excuses for the reform. It's really helpless..."

Thanks to the storm caused by a certain wind god pterosaur, the united camp formed by the three major countries, a dozen small countries and a group of ninja villages is naturally hostile to the Ninja Alliance. Even if a single force dares not to start a war, border conflicts and espionage are inevitable.

Among them, the Konoha Village, which is on the front line of the border, must have been impressed. They have been continuously conducting infiltration and counter-infiltration with the Ninja Alliance for several years in a row, and the casualties of intelligence personnel and infiltration teams on both sides have reached four digits. What impressed the Konoha ninjas the most was that the Ninja Alliance's ninja soldiers were well-equipped and had outstanding combat effectiveness, so they paid three times the casualties of the enemy each time.

There is no doubt that it was not just Konoha Village. The Iwagakure, Amegakure and other ninja villages that bordered the Ninja Alliance by land also suffered heavy casualties against the infiltration team of the Ninja Alliance. What also hit the morale of the United Camp was that the Ninja Alliance had shown advantages in all aspects. There were people on the United Camp who knew that the feudal system with multiple orders was definitely no match for the enemy, but the daimyo and nobles would not give up their own interests, so the reform became vague and illusory.

As for Jiraiya himself, he naturally felt a little unhappy that his own casualties were far higher than those of the Ninja Alliance, but he could still examine the difficulties he encountered relatively objectively. The internal and external constraints he was currently facing made Jiraiya feel particularly headache. Even if he wanted to solve the problem, as the fifth Hokage, it would be okay for him to attack Konoha Village, but it would be difficult to influence the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Hearing Jiraiya's complaints, Uchiha Itachi wisely did not say anything. Even though he was a trusted subordinate promoted by Jiraiya, the consequences of speaking carelessly on such a critical issue would be very serious!

……

On the outer side of Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan's land appears to be quite lively, with nearly three thousand Uchiha clan ninjas and civilians living there. It can be said that this is a small town where the Uchiha clan gathers. Moreover, thanks to the influence of a certain Wind God Pterosaur, the Uchiha clan genocide did not happen in Konoha Village.

In particular, Jiraiya was recalled and became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village. Although he was a disciple of the Third Hokage, he had long disliked his teacher's style of doing things. Becoming the Fifth Hokage was a gradual fulfillment of his responsibilities. One of them was regarding the Uchiha clan. Although he did not fully accept it like the Fourth Hokage, he would not deliberately exclude it like his teacher did. Instead, he took a relatively fair attitude and divided and disintegrated the Uchiha clan.

For example, most of the radical members of the Uchiha clan were sent by Jiraiya to the border ninja army, and together with other Konoha ninjas, they dealt with the harassment of the Ninja World Alliance. The moderate members of the Uchiha clan were treated relatively equally. For example, many other ninja members joined the Konoha Guard of the Uchiha clan, but members of the Uchiha clan also joined other departments of Konoha, and began to integrate into Konoha Village.

At least, in the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi and others, the current situation of their family is pretty good, so naturally they would not have the idea of ​​playing the game of underdog to overcome the powerful, and they just stayed safely in Konoha Village and gradually recovered their strength.

"Mother, I'm back!"

In the Uchiha clan leader's residence, Uchiha Sasuke ran in excitedly, and the several Uchiha ninjas who were responsible for guarding the clan leader's residence all looked at Uchiha Sasuke and laughed, and no one would stop their clan leader's youngest son.

After all, all Uchiha ninjas can be considered relatives of the Uchiha clan. If you count a few generations back, they can all be considered relatives. Except for the occasional quarrel due to emotional excitement, they can still get along relatively harmoniously at other times. What's more, the son of the clan leader like Uchiha Sasuke is just a younger generation in the eyes of the Uchiha ninjas who are protecting him and they don't care about him.

For Uchiha Sasuke, his current spirit and energy are completely different from the orphan of the exterminated family in the original plot of "Naruto". His parents and brother are still present, and even the Uchiha clan has not been destroyed but is living well. Naturally, he will not be extreme and regard killing his brother as his life mission. However, there are some similarities. The powerful threat brought by the Ninja World Alliance made Uchiha Fugaku vigorously cultivate his two sons, and Uchiha Sasuke's strength is even stronger than the original.

To be honest, in the original storyline, Uchiha Sasuke, as the orphan of the Uchiha family, was alone figuring out how to become stronger. Even if he had the experience of practicing ninjutsu, taijutsu, swordsmanship, etc. left by the Uchiha family, if he could become a powerful ninja just by looking at the practice experience, then there wouldn't be so many ninjas in the ninja world who would want to worship a famous teacher. Uchiha Sasuke quickly became stronger under the correct guidance.

Even in Konoha Village, the stronger Uchiha Sasuke is not an isolated case. Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and several other Konoha strongmen are currently at least elite Chunin. Some, like Hyuga Neji, have even been promoted to a special Jonin.

"Sasuke is back? Was he injured during the mission to the Land of Hot Springs this time?!"

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke coming home, Uchiha Mikoto hurried out of the kitchen and looked at her little son with great concern, her beautiful eyes full of care.

"It's okay. Kakashi-sensei, Naruto and I went to wipe out a shoe cult in the Yugen Village. The opponent was quite powerful, but we defeated them all!"

Facing his mother's concerned gaze, Uchiha Sasuke proudly said to Uchiha Mikoto that it was not appropriate for him to hug his mother and act coquettishly at this moment. However, facing his mother's concern, he was still proud to show his abilities.

"Well, Sasuke, I already know your performance this time, it's really not bad!"

When Uchiha Fugaku came out, he nodded approvingly at his somewhat proud younger son. However, he was afraid that his younger son would be too proud, so he spoke to him directly, reminding him to strengthen his own strength: "However, you and your brother Itachi should not be complacent. The atmosphere in the ninja world is very tense now. For example, the Ninja Alliance may go to war at any time. By then, we don't know how many strong people will appear, and we don't know how many ninjas will become corpses of the war..."

For Uchiha Fugaku, he was a little hesitant in making major decisions, but as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he naturally knew the current tense atmosphere in the ninja world. It can be said that there will be a war between the Ninja Alliance and the United Camp sooner or later, and when such a war may break out at any time, Uchiha Fugaku, in addition to strengthening the strength of his children, is trying to let them accumulate practical experience and increase their vigilance.

Uchiha Sasuke was a little confused, but at least he knew that his father would not deceive him about it, so he nodded seriously, continued chatting with his parents, and waited for Uchiha Itachi to return before having dinner together!

……

"Ichiro, are you sure you saw it correctly?"

On the other side, at the Hyuga family residence, the head of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Hiashi, who attended the meeting and then returned to his own residence, looked at the confidant in front of him and asked in a low voice, even his eyes became ferocious, and he looked around to make sure there was no one else.

"Master, I have seen the girl who looks like the eldest daughter at the border market. I even took a photo of her from a distance with my camera!"

Hearing what Hyuga Hiashi said, the subordinate of the Hyuga branch family respectfully handed over a sealed folder. When Hyuga Hiashi took it and opened it, he saw more than a dozen chapters of different photos. The only thing in common was that the current Hyuga Hinata was in all these photos taken in the bustling market.

It should be said that the pixel of the camera lens produced by the Ninja Alliance is quite good. Although the photo of Hyuga Hinata, who looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, was secretly taken at a distance, her appearance can still be seen clearly. Hyuga Hiashi can recognize at the first sight that it is his eldest daughter, but the beautiful eyes that look like the purest sapphires make Hyuga Hiashi feel a little stunned. He flipped through the remaining photos hesitantly and found that the situation in the photos was consistent.

Looking at the photos, Hinata Hiashi felt more and more puzzled. He wondered if his eldest daughter's [Byakugan] had been poached by someone, or even used as the mother of the [Byakugan] bloodline. However, when he saw these photos now, his eldest daughter's demeanor and complexion were obviously not normal, which was quite different from what he expected. In addition, she was still on the side of the Ninja Alliance, which made him unable to help but think too much about it.

In the room, Hinata Hiashi pondered for a long time before he came to his senses. He then looked at his confidant in front of him and had already made his own decision in his heart. He opened his mouth and advised his confidant:

"...Then, find a chance to leave the village and take me to this border market!"

Chapter 62: Bustling Border Market

Border Bazaar!

In the ninja world, this is already semi-public to the top leaders of various countries and ninja villages, and even many civilians from various countries near the border know about it. It is a place where daimyos, nobles and even ninja villages from various countries purchase goods from the Ninja Alliance and sell their own goods.

If it were an ordinary person, he would find it very strange. Why do the countries and major ninja villages in the united camp, who are obviously hostile to the Ninja Alliance, still do business with each other privately?

The daimyos, nobles and even ninja villages of various countries are certainly hostile to the Ninja Alliance and wish to destroy the extremely threatening Ninja Alliance, but privately they all have their own interests. For example, the daimyos and nobles of various countries like money and enjoyment.

But for the ninja world, the Ninja Alliance has the highest level of technology and industrial capacity. It controls at most a quarter of the ninja world's population, a third of the resources and all ocean channels. The Ninja Alliance, as a whole, has experienced an explosion in productivity in recent years. The production of food and various industrial products is the best in the ninja world, and can be provided in large quantities to the joint camp. Therefore, the emergence of border markets is not surprising.

In fact, the border market had already appeared when the Ninja Alliance just occupied the Wind Country and the Sand Village, and its scale was not large. However, soon as the United Camp quarreled endlessly and maintained a standing ninja army of more than 200,000 in a warlike manner, the daimyo and nobles who found that their wallets were not shrinking soon could not stand it and wanted to find new sources of income. However, apart from exploiting civilians and merchants, they soon discovered that they could make a lot of money by buying and selling at the border market, which made the border market develop rapidly.

In this regard, Li Mo did not find it strange at all. He had seen America selling various technologies and military supplies to the enemy for gold from the First World War to the Cold War, and European countries selling machine tools and technologies to the Red Bear in order to make things difficult for America during the Cold War. The scene of the ninja world secretly buying and selling goods in border markets for profit was not worth mentioning at all.

Even in the Celestial Empire, during the Han Dynasty's Han-Xiongnu War, the Xiongnu cavalry entered Han territory to plunder but did not rob certain markets on the border. The Han Dynasty also tacitly exchanged salt and iron for war horses. This shows that this is definitely not an isolated case. If such a situation occurred in the ninja world, it would not be surprising.

Of course, Li Mo still had some restrictions. At least it was easy for merchants in the border markets to trade in food and civilian industrial products, but military chakra armor and chakra-powered heavy equipment were absolutely prohibited contraband!

………………

A border market between the Ninja Alliance and the Land of Fire was originally the border area between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire. However, after the Land of Wind was annexed by the Ninja Alliance, the border market was established under the deliberate guidance of the Ninja Alliance.

After all, at the border market, one can directly purchase all kinds of inexpensive and high-quality goods from the Ninja Alliance. Even if most people are on the sidelines, there are always brave businessmen and even civilians who come to the market to exchange gold or other specialties for the Ninja Alliance currency circulating in the border market. They then use the currency to purchase the goods they like and sell them back for huge profits, which leads to more and more people joining.

——That's right, when the Ninja Alliance was established, the [Two] paper currency circulating in the Ninja World was abolished. The paper currency circulating in the United Camp was just a toilet paper in the Ninja Alliance. Li Mo was not stupid enough to allow the other side to use financial warfare to reap him (even if there was no such smart person in the United Camp). The two sides either used barter accounting at the border market, or the merchants brought gold, chakra metal and other hard currencies to exchange for the currency of the Ninja Alliance.

In this regard, even the merchants in the United Camp think that there is no problem. The reason is that the United Camp has been having a harder and harder time in recent years. The more taxes are raised and the more money is printed, the more the currency of the United Camp has depreciated by more than 50% compared to a few years ago. Compared with the Ninja Alliance, the supply of materials and industrial products is very abundant, so it can be said that the issued currency is equally strong, and is naturally very popular.

For example, at the border market, the merchants of the united camp are more willing to accept the currency of the Ninja Alliance. If someone from the Ninja Alliance comes to inquire about their goods, they are willing to give a suitable price!

"Huh? What kind of jewelry is this?!"

In a shop in the border market, a beautiful black-haired girl with a pair of special eyes like sapphires looked curiously at some special accessories in front of her that looked like they were carved from crystal, and asked directly to the shop owner.

Hyuga Hinata! This black-haired beauty is the little girl that Li Mo took away from Konoha Village. In a few years, she has grown into a top-notch Kage-level warrior. Not only has her [Byakugan] bloodline evolved into [Rinnegan], but she has also developed like a 15 or 6-year-old beauty. Her proud figure can kill more than % of the girls in seconds. The clothes she wears fully highlight the girl's style, which makes people admire her even more.

Of course, whether it is Hinata Hyuga's own powerful strength or the bodyguards following not far behind her and her companions, they can make any discerning person put aside their thoughts. In a place like the border market that is the focus of the Ninja Alliance, no one would dare to mess around.

"My lady, what you are holding are all ice crystal sculptures from the Snow Country. They are special products of the Snow Country's ice fields. They can last for hundreds of years without melting and can help you concentrate your mind..."

Seeing that Hinata Hyuga was interested in his merchandise, the shop owner's spirits perked up immediately, and he introduced it to Hinata Hyuga very attentively. He boasted about the ice crystal sculptures he was selling, although he did not exaggerate them to the point of being miraculous, but he did try his best to highlight the added value of his products.

"Well~! Then I want these ten, pack them for me and take them away with her~!"

After hearing what Hinata Hyuga and the boss said, Yamanaka Ino, who was choosing her favorite products, spoke. She picked out her favorite ice crystal sculpture, and then signaled Hinata Hyuga to continue choosing, which made Hinata Hyuga, who was familiar with her, a little helpless.

"no problem!"

Facing Yamanaka Ino's words, he could tell at a glance that the status of these two beautiful girls was definitely not that of ordinary shop owners. They didn't even say anything about discounts or gifts. Instead, they nodded and agreed immediately. Then, while signaling the clerk behind them to quickly get the highest-grade gift box, they respectfully said to the two distinguished guests, "I'll pack it for you right away. I guarantee there won't be any mistakes..."

It should be said that the merchants in the ninja world are definitely very wise. For example, if they dare to go to the border market between the two major camps to do business, the merchants must not only be brave, but also have personal abilities and backers. Moreover, the merchants at the border market have very outstanding eyesight, otherwise it is easy to offend people they cannot afford to offend.

For example, the shop owner noticed the material of the clothes worn by Hinata Hyuga and Yamanaka Ino. Although they did not look luxurious, the texture was something he had never seen before. There was no trace of tailoring or tailoring on the workmanship. It could be said to be a natural shape that was completely integrated. He had never seen it on the daimyo and nobles of the Snow Country, so he knew that it was not something that ordinary people could afford. Moreover, the appearance and temperament of the two beautiful girls made him dare not neglect them in the slightest.
