Chapter 219: Arresting Kakashi (4K words, please subscribe!)
The dark red armor condensed instantly in the sky, and the wings behind it spread out.
After the complete form of Susanoo appeared, it flew towards the Land of Waves at full speed.
Many civilians from the ninja village who woke up early saw this scene and were overwhelmed with emotion.
Susanoo was seen flying at full speed across the sky, and the clouds spread out to both sides, revealing deep ravines.
The sky is blue.
The earth is vast.
Jewel cockpit.
Hong looked down at the mountains, rivers and forests below, with a look of amazement and emotion on his face, and asked in confusion:
"Who are we going to pick up?"
Riding Susanoo was too exciting for her. It was hard to imagine that the Uchiha possessed such power.
"Pick up some of your old friends and return to the village."
"Old friend..." Hong thought.
After several wars, she has few old friends left, so it's easy to guess.
Thinking of this, Hong's eyes suddenly lit up. Yinyue wanted to find Kakashi, Might Guy and the others?
...
...
The country of waves.
The most prosperous harbour city area.
It is surrounded by the sea on all sides and only borders the inland island on the east. The harbor is docked with various kinds of ships, most of which are wooden boats.
At a construction site in the city, several ninjas are supervising workers building a building.
Tenzo, also known as Yamato, was also in the construction team. He clapped his hands, and the outlines of buildings appeared in the form of Wood Release.
Of course, the Wood Release created by Yamato is suitable for people to live in for a short period of time, but if you want to use it for a long time, you have to reinforce it inside and outside.
Kakashi and Might Guy stood at the construction site for a while, inspected it, and then walked towards the city out of boredom.
"I don't know when it will be completed." Kai sighed.
As he spoke, he turned over and stood upside down, using his hands instead of legs, and moved forward.
"..." Kakashi had already adopted Kai's habit of exercising anytime and anywhere, and shook his head and said, "With Jia here, it will be quick."
"Yes." Kai said, "If we want to transform the Land of Waves, Tenzou alone is not enough. Where should we go to recruit people today?"
"Let's go to the slums in East City."
Kakashi suggested.
"Okay." Kai said, "I haven't been there yet."
While Yin Yue was running around in the Ninja World, Tsunade had already brought the remaining ninja families of Konoha to the Land of Waves.
This is a small island country.
Compared to the Water Kingdom, it has only one-tenth of the land area.
There is no ninja organization here, the country's daimyo royal family has declined, and before Tsunade came, the power of the country was in the hands of a black-hearted businessman named "Kado".
The first thing Tsunade did when she arrived here was to eliminate the Cardo Shipping Company and restore fairness to the people of the Wave Country, and then she planned to establish a ninja village here.
Right now, all ninjas are rebuilding this island nation.
But the village has not been officially announced yet.
Now, under Tsunade's command, there are only a few families left: the Ino-Shika-Chou, the Aburame and the Inuzuka families.
And there aren't many people.
Tsunade chose the Land of Waves as the location for her ninja village after careful consideration.
Slum neighborhoods.
Many workers were slumped on the ground, with price tags or wooden boards placed around them, some high and some low.
There were even beggars with broken bowls on the street corners, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
The ground was dirty and messy, with moldy food discarded for a long time and blackened oil stains on the stone tiles.
Kakashi and Might Guy were stunned.
This scene was something they had never seen in Konoha or even in the Land of Fire.
They had never come to such a place to recruit people before, and this was their first time wandering around the slums since arriving in the Land of Waves.
This place gathers the lowest-level civilians in the entire Wave Country, and they are also the first batch of civilians to be eliminated after being exploited by the Cardo Group.
This block is where these people go to make a living and wait for employers to hire them, similar to a talent market.
Before entering the block, Might Guy was so frightened that he jumped up, stood up, and walked on his own two feet again.
This move did not attract the attention of the laborers in the neighborhood.
They looked dull and numb, and seemed to have no interest in anything.
Kakashi and Might Guy looked around.
"Kai, this way."
Kakashi took a fancy to a young man squatting on the street with a wooden sign next to him that read 120 taels.
The other person has a sallow complexion, but fortunately he looks strong. It's just that he has been working in the sun for many years, which has caused his skin to be a little darker.
Kakashi came to the young laborer, squatted down, and asked seriously: "Is 120 ryo the payment for one hour's work?"
Kai lamented:
"Working eight hours a day, I calculated that the total cost is 960 taels, which is a little expensive."
The young laborer looked up blankly at Kakashi, but only moved slightly as his stomach growled with hunger.
He looked embarrassed and hurriedly whispered, "I'm sorry, 120 taels is my salary for one day, and one day's working hours are 12 hours. Excuse me, do you need my service?"
As he spoke, the young laborer put his hand on his abdomen and tried his best to force a bitter smile on his face.
This is the way his mother taught him to treat others when she was still alive.
Smile more, and good luck will come to you every day. Smile more, and everything will go smoothly.
Young workers always remember her words and bring smiles to every employer.
"What??"
Kai exclaimed, looking stunned: "One day's pay? 12 hours of work?"
He secretly sighed that the intensity of work on ninja's C-level missions was not so high.
What's more, even the lowest-level ninja missions cost over a thousand taels each.
And 120 taels a day...
You know, a bowl of the cheapest Ichiraku ramen costs 40 taels.
If you want to eat a full bowl of Ichiraku ramen with extra portions and extra sides, it costs 120 taels.
The young worker said dully:
"Do you think it's too much? If you buy me a meal, I can lower the price... I'm the youngest worker here, so the price will be higher, but I'm nimble and can work quickly!"
Might Guy was speechless. He looked at Kakashi beside him, and Kakashi also fell silent at this time.
The price is too low, so low that these workers can't even survive in the Land of Waves.
120 taels is only enough for one person’s minimum daily food expenses.
"No need to surrender, this is good enough." Kakashi said calmly.
"So what do you need me to do?"
The young laborer asked excitedly, his eyes shining.
"Do you know that there is a construction site in the wasteland in the city?" Kakashi did not answer his question, but asked: "Why don't you go there and find work?"
The young worker's expression suddenly became depressed.
He hesitated.
At this time, a hunchbacked old man beside him sighed, "It's not that we don't want to go, but we don't dare to go. Those big projects are usually occupied by the Cardo Group... It's not our turn."
The old man had very little hair, his cheeks were sunken, and he was skinny. The card next to him read:
"As long as you give me something to eat, I can do anything."
He didn't even put a price tag on his work because at his age, no one was willing to hire him.
The old man comes out every day and waits with the young people, hoping that the young people will take him on for free after they find a task. He doesn't ask for much, just some free food.
"Uncle, please stop talking."
The young worker worried.
"What are you afraid of? I'm almost dead." The hunchbacked old man said helplessly, "Why should I be afraid of Kado?"
"Cado is dead."
Kakashi said calmly.
"What?" The old man thought he was hard of hearing and asked in surprise, "I said I was dying, and you said Cardo was dead?"
Upon hearing this, Might Guy's face changed, and he hurried to Kakashi's side, whispering, "Kado is not dead. When he learned that we had arrived at the Land of Waves, he immediately fled with his belongings. Kakashi, you know about this, right?"
Kakashi glanced at Kai and whispered, "It's no different from being dead."
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other.
The poor neighborhoods began to riot.
Kakashi's words before were like a bomb exploding here.
"What? Cardo is dead?"
The young worker realized it belatedly and exclaimed.
Even the hunchbacked old man hurriedly stood up, walked up to Kakashi and Kai, and asked excitedly: "You... are you guys telling the truth?"
not far away.
"If you make random comments about that adult, you will die!" another laborer said in horror.
After saying that, he rolled and crawled away from the area where Kakashi and Kai were, fearing that Cardo would bring people to cause trouble for them.
At this time, the other workers also recalled the fear of being dominated by Kado, and they did not dare to believe Kakashi's words and moved away from them.
Most people just dare to stand at a distance and watch.
Kakashi nodded and said to the young laborer and the hunchbacked old man in front of him: "Well, he will never come back again."
Kai didn't say anything this time. Kakashi was right about that.
As long as they are in the Kingdom of Waves, Cardo will never come back in this lifetime.
"If he were still alive, how could I dare to tell you this news here?"
Kakashi added:
"Oh, by the way, if you want to verify the truth of this news, you can go to the construction site in the wasteland in the city and you will know. Oh, they are still recruiting workers there, with three meals a day and daily wages."
He is already doing his best to help these people.
If they didn't say that Cardo was dead, even if they said that Cardo had escaped from the Land of Waves, these people would never dare to go to the construction site to take a look.
At this time, no one dared to move in the streets. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Even the two young laborers and the hunchbacked old man standing in front of Kakashi were lost in thought.
"You...what do you want me to do?"
The young laborer lowered his head and spoke softly.
Kakashi said calmly, "Let's go take a look at the construction site in the wasteland in the city."
Seeing that everyone remained indifferent.
Kakashi sighed and planned to take Gai to other docks.
In addition to the labor streets in the slums, there are also many laborers in the Wave Country gathered in various ports.
But at this moment.
The sky suddenly darkened, and red light instantly enveloped the entire Kingdom of Waves; even the azure blue sea in the distance was dyed dark red.
A familiar feeling of oppression came over me.
The feeling was like a mountain pressing down on one's head or a tsunami hitting one's head. In front of it, even the elite jonin were as small as dust.
Kakashi and Might Guy's faces suddenly changed, and they immediately moved to the eaves of a nearby building.
At this time, the original Konoha ninjas who were still carrying out various tasks in the Land of Waves hid under the eaves.
Some ninjas risked sticking their heads out and looking at the sky, but found nothing.
Slum neighborhoods.
The young laborer saw how agile and swift Kakashi and Might Guy were, and belatedly realized:
"Ninja...Ninja??"
The hunchbacked old man was stunned on the spot. Whether it was the instant shock brought by Kakashi and Might Guy, or the shock brought by the sky suddenly turning dark red, his brain had no time to react.
However, everyone was puzzled as to why Kakashi and the other man suddenly hid in a dark area where the dark red light could not reach?
Seeing no movement, Kakashi squatted down and slowly looked up into the sky.
He was completely confused.
His eyes flashed red.
In the sky, I saw a dark red Susanoo hovering like a demon.
The huge body covered the sky and the sun, as if it was covering the entire Kingdom of Waves.
"Drink the moon!!!"
Kakashi's heart sank.
Might Guy, who was standing by, also had a serious look on his face. He whispered, "Have we been discovered so soon?"
At this time, in the streets and alleys of poor laborers, everyone was trembling, kneeling down with their heads bowed, and worshiping devoutly towards the sky, as if looking at Susanoo for even one more second would be a blasphemy to the gods.
suddenly--
I saw something tiny falling from the sky, a black dot moving from far to near.
"That's... a dead body???"
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.
After Yin Yue arrived at the Land of Waves, he had already killed someone. Who was it?
Their current Hokage?
No, Kakashi reacted and there was no sound of fighting coming from the city area of Wave Country, so it was highly likely that their Lady Tsunade was not killed by Yin Yue.
bang——
A muffled sound echoed.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The body that fell from a high altitude fell heavily to the ground, its body twisted and bloody, but there were no scars on its face.
"what!!!"
The workers shouted in fear and retreated in a group.
But when Kakashi and Kai stared at the face of that body, they were surprised:
"Ka...Kado???"
The corpse was fat and short, wearing a pair of sunglasses that had been broken into pieces, leaving only the frame.
This is actually the president of Cardo Shipping Company, the source of all evil who previously monopolized the wealth of the Wave Country - Cardo!
Kakashi and Gai have seen each other's portraits.
"Kado, it's Kado!"
All the civilians were overjoyed, excitement instantly replaced fear, and they shouted loudly.
"Cado is dead, Cado is really dead!"
"Hahaha, this is a surprise bestowed upon us by God. God, the gift from the God in heaven!"
All the civilians lowered their heads and became more pious.
"Did Yin Yue do it?"
Kakashi stared at the corpse on the ground, looked up, and saw that the dark red Susanoo was still floating in the air, without any movement.
"Kakashi, Kai, long time no see."
A woman's gentle and magnetic voice suddenly came from the street entrance.
Hearing this, Kakashi and Kai's expressions froze. They looked up and saw a familiar figure appear.
She was wearing a red and white short skirt, her legs wrapped in bandages, and she stood slim.
"Hong?" Kai's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "You...you are not dead yet???"
Hong and Asuma disappeared together, so these old friends lost all news of Hong afterwards.
Unexpectedly, Hong is still alive.
"Yes." Hong said with a smile, "Someone wants to meet you and invites you to a place."
"Who?" Kai asked puzzled.
Kakashi had already discovered the clue. He widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Kai, run!!!"
