LRAB Chapter 205 Delegation of Power
Chapter 205 Delegation of Power
The border of the country of rivers.
This place borders the Land of Wind, and this few kilometers of land serves as a transitional zone.
On one side, the land slowly turns yellow, eventually leading to a desert.
On the other side, the land slowly turned into brown stones, eventually becoming mountains and forests.
Thirty Uchiha clan members, led by Uchiha Norihiko, appeared here.
These Uchiha clan members were all carrying large and small bags.
It's full of all sorts of household items.
Storage scrolls are quite expensive, and not everyone carries them with them.
Ji Yan surveyed the terrain and found a relatively large valley.
"Let's rest here for a while and see if there's any better terrain nearby, as well as the water source."
"Yes!"
These Uchiha clan members were all skilled, and they quickly divided up the tasks, observing the terrain and searching for water sources.
Ji Yan's shadow flickered, and a figure slowly emerged from within.
"Clan leader." It was Qian Yao's clone who appeared.
"Looks like we've arrived." Qianyao looked around at the terrain features.
"Give me the map."
"Yes."
Ji Yan took out a map and pointed to it, saying, "Clan leader, this is our location."
Qianyao carefully examined the map and then drew a line along the border of the Wind Kingdom.
"These are the places you need to search. I've already told you about the terrain features there."
"The most prominent feature is the obvious underground palace complex."
“You have relatively few people, so you will have to search slowly. The conditions here are a bit harsh. It will take about one to two months. I will have other tribesmen come and take turns with you.”
Ji Yan looked at the area on the map and realized it was indeed very large. It would take them at least one or two years to search it all, even with 30 people.
"We will definitely complete the clan leader's mission!"
Qianyao nodded: "Call me if you need anything."
Then, as if melting away, he entered Ji Yan's shadow.
……
Hidden Mist Village.
When Chiyo's clones escorted Kimimaro and the others out, they moved very slowly, but when he returned alone, he was very fast.
After all, he can become a shadow, and when darkness covers the earth, the whole world is his domain.
Wearing a tailed beast cloak, Chiyo swaggered into Kirigakure.
After all, there's nothing better proof of identity than a tailed beast cloak.
"Lord Mizukage!"
"Lord Mizukage!"
"Water Shadow!"
Chiyo transformed into Yagura Karatachi, so on her way back, people from both sides kept greeting her.
After all, his own water spirit brought in 1.5 billion yuan for the village in one trip.
This did alleviate the immediate crisis to some extent, and everyone was quite impressed with Yagura Gojibana.
Qianyao ignored these people and quickly went to the Water Shadow's office.
Yagura is reviewing documents, with Mei Terumi assisting him.
Looking up, he saw Qianyao had returned: "Why did it take you so long to come back?"
Qianyao opened his arms: "It's not too late, the timing is just right."
Yagura beckoned to Mei Terumi: "Mei Terumi, show him about the Kaisui Trading Company and its merchant ships."
Mei Terumi stood up and took out a stack of documents from the cabinet behind her, handing them to Chiyo.
She felt a little strange. The Mizukage's clone was too strange. It was as if it were two consciousnesses and two people.
With Yagura's face as his own, Chiyo took the document.
The shops in Jieshui were originally run by people from Wuyin who went out to do business.
They usually travel between the Land of Porcelain and the Land of Rainbows, reselling mineral materials and profiting from the price difference.
Although each ship only earns three to four million, the merchants travel with at least six ships each time.
In total, each trip will still earn 20 million.
Although affected by tides and waves, it only takes a little over a month to make the round trip.
However, its advantage lies in its safety and stability.
The Land of Porcelain is located behind the Land of Thunder.
Mineral transport ships are generally round-headed, bulky, and have poor resistance to wind and waves.
The ore is quite heavy, and the ships sail very slowly, so the safest route is the coastal route.
Therefore, we need to pass through the Land of Lightning.
Although the Yagura team earned 1.5 billion from the rescue operation, the merchant ship of the Kaisui Trading Company, which was returning from the Land of Porcelain, was detained in a port in the Land of Lightning.
The reason given was simply that the merchant ships of Jieshui had contraband on board.
In reality, the merchant ships of the Jieshui Shop didn't have much cargo on them, because they transported ore from the Rainbow Country to unload.
The return journey was originally intended to transport other supplies back to the Water Country.
The Mizukage went to cover the Uchiha's retreat, and dared not buy anything from the Kaisui Shop's boat, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
The local authorities have discovered that the Jieshui shop has a connection to the Misty Hidden Sect, so the boat and its crew have been detained there.
The meaning is simple: let's see how the Hidden Mist reacts.
Because in the past, the Hidden Mist Village couldn't defeat the Hidden Cloud Village, and when they were detained, they usually had to pay various fines or exorbitant tolls.
This time, it's probably to test the waters and see if there's any change in Kirigakure's attitude towards the caravan.
After reading it, Qianyao asked, "Have the people from Jieshui Shop returned?"
Mei Terumi denied it, saying, "They are still on the ship. Although they are not in danger, the situation is not good."
"Let's go together."
Chiyo tapped on Yagura's desk.
Yagura looked up: "Aren't you enough on your own?"
Qian Yao shook his head: "They're here to test our attitude."
"In order to prevent the merchant ships of the Land of Water from being extorted in the future, we still need to go there in person. After all, there will be many more such incidents in the future."
"You can make arrangements inside the Hidden Mist."
After a moment's thought, Yagura stood up and said, "Mei Terumi, call a high-level meeting."
"Yes!"
……
After a while.
In the office of the Hidden Mist Village, the village's senior management arrived quickly.
Chiyo also saw the recovered Juzo Biwa and Zabuza, but now the Executioner's Blade was in Zabuza's hands.
In contrast, Juzo Biwa used an ordinary knife.
Yagura Karatachi had just secured a significant amount of investment from Kirigakure, and with the addition of his Mirror Clone, he held a commanding lead over everyone in Kirigakure in terms of strength, and his reputation was soaring.
Everyone saw the appearance of the two Yaguras, and there was still a hint of pride on their faces.
After all, the situation in Kirigakure is not good right now. The more powerful people there are, the more stable Kirigakure will be.
"The main topic of this meeting is the long-standing problem of our merchant ships being oppressed in our Water Kingdom..."
Since Chiyo had no memory of Yagura, she silently listened to what Yagura had to say.
As for the Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi has been under control for years, but his mind is still intact, and he must have thought about the future of the Kirigakure.
Now that Qianyao has arrived, he has some ideas.
The first step is to rid the merchant ships of the Water Kingdom of all unreasonable charges.
Let the water kingdom no longer suffer losses in maritime trade.
Of course, the simplest way is to show your fist.
"...I will be away from the village for an extended period of time, and Terumi Mei will be in charge of the village administration."
The Three-Tails is a water-attribute tailed beast, and no one can stop two Three-Tails.
Yagura Karatachi is a Mizukage who genuinely wants all the people of the Land of Water to live well.
Therefore, he boldly delegated authority to Mei Terumi.
