Chapter 495: Lu Jiu: New troubles are coming again? Assisting the master is a great talent!

\"Yes, my lord.\"

Itachi took the scroll, turned around and left the command center, running out of the camp without any delay.

After Itachi left, Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In order to obtain supplies for the next stage, the Sand Village is willing to take on heavy debts, so what about the Mist Village?

How long can the Mist Village last?

The geographical environment of the Mist Village destined them to have a natural advantage on the passive side.

Anyone who wants to attack them will need to transport people and supplies over thousands of miles.

The sea is the main battlefield of the Mist Village. If people from other villages want to attack the Mist Village, they will have to pay a huge price.

Conversely, when the Mist Village became the active party, their advantage turned into a disadvantage.

At this time, they needed to transport supplies and people thousands of miles away from their villages and countries, and go to other people's territories to fight against others.

Not to mention the long distance, the transportation cost alone is enough for the Mist Village to enjoy.

Look, the battlefield in the Land of Wind is the most typical example. On paper, the Mist Village is stronger than the Sand Village.

When they traveled all the way to the Land of Wind, they found that they seemed to have no advantages at all. Instead, they were tormented by the Sand Village who took advantage of various environments and weather advantages.

If things go wrong, the war between the Mist Village and the Sand Village will end earlier than that between the Rock Village and the Cloud Village.

As long as the stalemate lasts for a long time and internal conflicts begin to erupt, it is time for the Mist Village to choose to end the war.

Who knows, Yagura might even be driven down.

On the contrary, the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure are two mortal enemies who will not give in to each other. Unless they can defeat the other side, the war will last for a long time.

It is possible that the fight may last for several years.

Ōnoki will not give up easily, and Ai will not give up until he has defeated the Iwagakure. As time goes by, the battle will become a stalemate.

For the next period of time, Akatsuki should be relatively low-key, and will only become active when they are ready to attack the tailed beasts in each village. During this period, it is unlikely that Akatsuki will take action.

Unless Obito is desperate to get his Sharingan back.

Apart from Obito wanting to get the Sharingan back, Yan couldn't think of any other reason for the Akatsuki organization to pop up and attract attention.

Sharingan...just take your time to look for it. I hope you'll get a surprise when you find it.

When Obito goes through untold hardships to retrieve the Sharingan that was sealed in the Cloud Village, and is shocked to find that this Sharingan is not his own, the expression on his face will surely be very interesting.

Forget it, why think about these things? If Obito wants to get the Sharingan back, he has to get through the Cloud Village first.

Just wait for Obito to compete with the Cloud Ninja Village in a battle of wits and courage.

Thinking that Obito might be so angry that he vomited blood, Yan couldn't help but laugh. He was really looking forward to this day.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, it’s so cold in this horrible weather.

After finishing all the things that needed to be done, Yan took off his coat, got back into bed and continued to catch up on his sleep.

The heavy snow covering the world did not affect Itachi's speed. He returned to the village alone and arrived at dawn.

"Where is Shikaku-sama?"

Walking into the village, Itachi approached the ANBU.

"Shikaku-sama has arrived at the Hokage's office building and is currently attending to official business."

"Thanks."

Itachi turned around and headed straight for the Hokage's office building, arrived outside the Hokage's office, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

After receiving permission, Itachi opened the door and walked into the Hokage's office.

"Shikaku-sama."

Itachi closed the door, placed the scroll on the desk, and said:

"This is what the Assistant-sama ordered me to deliver. Please, Lord Shikaku, handle it immediately."

"......"

Trouble is coming.

After hearing what Itachi said, Shikaku's eyelids twitched twice.

Yan was forced to stay in the camp, and he had to deal with all the troubles in the village. Shikaku could only ask Mito Menyan to share the workload with him.

As a result, before I could finish the things at hand, new troubles came.

If possible, Shikaku would like to pretend that he had never met Itachi or seen this scroll.

Unfortunately, he had no choice and could only pick up the scroll in frustration.

Lu Jiu habitually prepared to use the backup password to unlock the scroll, but he found that there was no need for a password at all and he could just open it directly.

"Cough cough!!"

The expression was wasted in vain, and Lu Jiu felt a little embarrassed. After coughing, he pretended to be serious and started reading the scroll.

After glancing at the contents of the scroll, Shikaku was so shocked that he jumped up.

"Are you kidding me?"

After carefully reading the list in the scroll, Shikaku slammed the table with gritted teeth:

"How can we agree to the Sand Village's conditions without thinking? What if the Sand Village can't come up with the money in the future?"

Even if the price is three times...

Hmm~~~This price is indeed quite attractive. Let’s calculate it based on the current highest price. If we calculate it this way…

It seems acceptable?

It's just that the debt collection time is extended.

After watching to the end, Shikaku had calmed down. Only now did he understand why Yan agreed to Luosha's request.

The price is three times the current price.

Only a fool would refuse.

This is already a disguised form of economic investment, but the risk is somewhat high and there is a possibility that the money will go to waste.

However, investment also depends on who is investing. If someone else were to invest, the money might go to waste. If it were Yan...

Shikaku felt that if the Sand Village wanted to cheat, Yan would definitely rush directly to the other village to collect the debt.

Either you pay me back or I'll tear down the Sand Village!

Take whatever you see that is valuable until the debt is offset, otherwise I will never let you go.

Three times the price, still calculated based on the current price, Lu Jiu admitted that he felt a little inexplicably moved.

As long as the money won’t be wasted, even if it takes a few years to pay it off, it’s still a big profit compared to investing!

"Ahem, Itachi, thank you for your hard work. I will prepare the supplies as soon as possible and send someone to deliver them to the camp. I will ensure that they are delivered on time. You go back and tell the assistant that there will be absolutely no problem with the supplies."

It seems that the assistant has accomplished something great again.

Itachi nodded slightly, he couldn't stay in the village for too long.

Although he had endured a whole day, Itachi had no intention of resting. He needed to get back to the camp as soon as possible to report, and then go to the battlefield to protect Sasuke in secret.

This was Sasuke's first time going to the battlefield, and the enemy was the ninja from the Iwagakure. He couldn't feel at ease if he didn't keep an eye on them personally.

Although Uchiha Feng is accompanying Sasuke, Sasuke's safety will not be a problem under normal circumstances. The only thing to be worried about is an ambush or encountering a strong man from the Iwagakure, such as Ohnoki.

Ōnokima attacked Sasuke, and Feng couldn't save Sasuke.

In addition, the Iwagakure is good at group actions and siege warfare.
