Chapter 389 Red Beans and Red Lotus!
"How about increasing food purchases?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Mito Monobu and Kaden Koharu, who were in charge of business.
In previous years, they would also purchase food. Being able to use this channel to purchase food is naturally the best choice.
"No, the other party cannot prepare so much food in a short period of time!"
After sleeping, Xiaochun shook his head, indicating that this method was not advisable.
Grain procurement sounds very simple, as long as you spend more money, but in fact it is extremely troublesome.
Note that what we are talking about here is ‘bulk’ food purchase. If it is a small amount, there is no need to go to such trouble.
For bulk purchases, you first need to collect food from multiple places.
After all, it is impossible to raise a huge amount of food from one place.
This alone can stump countless chambers of commerce.
Because most of the food in the ninja world is in the hands of nobles, if the Chamber of Commerce wants to purchase more, it must deal with more nobles, and who knows how troublesome this is.
There are so many weird things among the nobility!
Dealing with them is not only troublesome, but also dangerous, because you never know whether the other person will suddenly become ill.
Okay, even if you have good means and can raise enough food.
How to transport it? .
The road conditions, robbers, transportation efficiency, etc. in the ninja world are all problems.
Therefore, bulk purchasing is really troublesome.
"Please help me please..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly stopped with a bitter look on his face.
Because this cannot be done.
If you ask a daimyo for help, it means you have to bow to the other party. Do you want to listen to the other party in the future? .
This head really cannot be opened.
What's more, it's not like the Daimyo doesn't have his own little thoughts. The Ninja Sato, the Fire Temple, the Guardian Ninja, etc. are all cultivated by the other party and are preparing to replace the Ninja Village.
Therefore, bowing to a daimyo is not a matter of face, but a matter of life and death.
"How about purchasing from the castle tower? Their grain production this year is amazing. There should be enough grain to sell!"
Mito Kabuto suddenly made a surprising proposal.
Castle tower!
It is completely a serious problem for Konoha.
But now we have to find the other party to purchase, which is really unexpected.
But there is no other way. If you go to the other party to purchase, it is much better than going to the famous one.
And it’s also reasonable.
Because the castle tower is nominally a part of Konoha.
At most, he is just a rebellious person.
"No, we can't bow to that inherently evil Uchiha brat!"
Seeing the silent thinking of several people, Danzo jumped up like a cat with explosive fur.
He is not willing to bow to the other party.
"Danzo, Dohei is the bride-in-law!"
When he went to bed, Koharu reminded Danzo that although Dohei's surname was Uchiha, he did not have Uchiha blood.
"Besides, the castle tower is considered a member of our Konoha clan. If we purchase from them, the price will definitely not be too exaggerated, and there will be no strings attached!"
Mitomonyan starts from a practical perspective.
In fact, Danzo also knew very well that purchasing food from the castle tower was definitely the best choice.
And this was also trying to clean up his roots, so he could only remain silent.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaochun!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.
As for money? .
Sorry, when it comes to money, all other Ninja Villages are younger brothers.
Even if there have been small-scale conflicts with the Kumo ninja and Kiri ninja, it is not a problem for Konoha to allocate a batch of money for purchase.
The other side!
Don Ping didn't know it yet, but a big deal was about to hit the castle tower.
Right now, he was taking Guren to visit Konoha.
As for Hinata Cangyue? .
As soon as he came back, he was called back by the Zong family.
"Is this Konoha? It looks like that..."
Guren complained.
This is also what she means.
Although Konoha looks prosperous, there is always a sense of twilight, and it is also dirty and messy.
In the castle tower, there are specialized "cleaners" and other occupations, which are enough to keep the environment there clean and tidy at all times.
And compared with the old buildings in Konoha, the gap between the planned new buildings should not be too obvious.
"Hmph, Konoha is the leader of the five great ninja villages!"
An unconvinced voice sounded.
Dohei and Guren turned around and saw a girl with pineapple hair and purple hair and brown eyes behind them. She also held several bunches of red bean balls in her hand.
Yes, the other party is Orochimaru's only disciple.
Mitarashi red beans!
About the same age as Guren.
"The leader of any ninja village will be beaten in every ninja war?"
Guren retorted.
She has a short temper, and she is uncomfortable being interrupted. What's more, he is the same type of guy as herself, and she gets angry just by looking at her.
"What did you say!"
The red beans were also fried.
“If you don’t need your ears, you can donate them to those in need!”
"Do you want to die!"
"Come if you can!"
…
And Tang Ping was not angry because of Anko's words. Instead, he watched with interest as the two of them glared at each other like a cockfight.
Famous scene!
That is to say, I didn’t bring a camera with me, otherwise I would have to take a picture.
Just like Prince Ming and Er Zhuzi in the future, their first kiss was given to each other. It would be a pity not to take pictures at that time.
While thinking about this, Tangping also saw something on Anko's neck.
The curse seal of heaven!
It was considered a gift from Orochimaru to Anko.
From this point of view, he is really gentle towards his only disciple.
He really made me cry to death!
It's a pity that no one in Konoha knows the benefits of this thing. Seeing Anko's pain from being eroded by the curse seal from time to time, they thought it was something evil and sealed it directly.
But in fact, that kind of erosion and pain is just to make people get used to natural energy.
When normal people come into contact with natural energy, GG cannot explain it for a moment.
But the Heavenly Curse Seal can slowly make a person's body get used to natural energy, which is definitely a great benefit.
Once the body can adapt to the natural energy, all aspects of the body's attributes will be improved, and it can also lay the foundation for the immortal mode.
Of course, Orochimaru also added private goods.
Just like Tang Ping's Heaven's Curse Seal was also added with private goods, everyone did it the same way.
After observing for a few times, Tang Ping withdrew his gaze.
Because it's too rough.
No matter which aspect it is, it is far inferior to the Heavenly Curse Seal developed by myself.
The two little guys didn't know if they were destined to have a bond, so they pressed their foreheads against each other like a bullfight, which looked extremely funny.
"alright!"
Tang Ping separated the two of them. He felt that if he didn't show up, the two of them could fight forever.
At this time, Hongdou also remembered what she had just done, so she said hello awkwardly.
"Lord Dohei!"
Although the other party is only a few years older than her, in terms of status and strength, she is comparable to her teacher, so she is called "sir."
"Long time no see, Anko!"
Tang Ping felt a little pity when he looked at Anko, who looked normal on the surface but was actually in extremely poor condition.
She is one of those tragic characters.
The close teacher betrayed the village and left him alone in the village. He was then subjected to various censorships and ostracism, and was finally ruined.
Yes, if it wasn't a direct failure, there's really no way to explain why she was just a special jounin later on.
For others, special jounin is already very strong.
But for her, a disciple of the Sannin and Orochimaru who was the best at teaching his disciples, being a special jounin was really a shame.
As for being censored and excluded? .
In the real ninja world, it is impossible to be as innocent and simple as in the anime.
After Orochimaru rebelled against the village, the Anbu and the Roots, how could they let Anko go if they didn't review her countless times.
She wasn't even treated as an experiment, it was definitely Sarutobi Hiruzen who saved Orochimaru's face.
But I didn’t take too much care!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to become a special jounin in the future, and she wouldn't even be allowed to teach a single class.
Otherwise, it's impossible for her, a Sannin disciple, to be inferior to Asuma, right? .
She was only implicated by Orochimaru, but Asuma really joined the guardian ninja, an opposing force in Konoha. If strictly investigated, it would be a 'treason to the village'.
But not only can he return to Konoha, but he can also bring twelve little heroes with him.
All we can say is that the second generation of movies can do whatever they want.
"Lord Tanghei..."
Anko listened to the other party's gentle voice, and the investigation and rejection she had received during this period suddenly came to her mind.
Just thinking about the complicated relationship between the other party and Konoha, she, who was already in trouble, could only leave immediately.
He was already under heavy surveillance by the ANBU. If he had more contact with the other party, he might end up in a laboratory or prison.
"How rude!"
Guren looked at the opponent's back and muttered.
"It's okay, the other party doesn't want it either!"
Tang Ping naturally understood the other party's difficulties, and after explaining, he continued to wander around with Guren.
When we returned to the mountain clan, Xiaochun came to visit us.
