Chapter 567: Strategy for the Land of Waves!

"Let me think about it again!"

Hong hesitated and finally gave this reply.

And her answer actually showed that her previous persistence had loosened.

The reason is naturally because of the influence of the dark forces.

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha was a village that her father wanted to protect until his death, Kurenai would have agreed to Guren's invitation and gone directly to the castle tower.

Ordinary villagers don't know, but a ninja like her who often goes out of the village to perform tasks certainly understands how powerful the castle tower is now.

The focus is on benefits!

It is completely different from the major ninja villages.

Not only do you get a basic guaranteed salary after registration, but you also get various benefits. Even your job is guaranteed after retirement, and the pension far exceeds that of other major ninja villages.

The news that the major ninja villages have tacitly blocked the castle tower is not only afraid of its strength, but also worried that the other party's treatment will cause dissatisfaction among their own ninjas. They can't fight for the treatment.

Especially Konoha!

They are even more worried about being poached.

Who knows, there have been many such things. The Uchiha family, the Aburame clan, a large number of small ninja clan... etc. all moved from Konoha to the castle tower.

With these lessons learned, it is no wonder that the castle tower should be soft-blocked.

If it hadn't been banned, people's hearts would have dispersed long ago.

Like Hong and Hongdou, if they hadn't been obsessed with their hometown, they might have voted long ago.

However, as the exclusion lasted for a long time, the relationship between the two was exhausted, so Yuhi Hong also wavered this time.

"Huh, what's there to think about? If we go to the castle tower, we will definitely have a better life than here!"

Anko immediately complained.

Yes, her and Hong's little lives were not going well.

Especially for her, as a disciple of the 'Rebellious Ninja', she was always on guard, and she could only accept the kind of tasks that were low in money but high in risk.

He simply wished she would die in the mission.

Fortunately, Hong was there. The other party relied on his reputation to receive many easy designated tasks. He dragged her to do them together to barely support himself.

Note that the "support" mentioned here refers to maintaining one's own state while maintaining growth in strength.

A ninja is a 'killing machine'. If he wants to maintain his own chakra growth, he doesn't just have to eat enough. He needs nutrition that is at least dozens of times that of ordinary people.

Naturally, eating cannot replenish so much nutrition, so medicinal materials and various secret medicines must be used to maintain it.

Coupled with medical expenses, dental equipment, etc., the income is really not very sufficient.

Therefore, for example, White Fang, when he was so strong, his life was not very good.

However, Red and Anko were far less powerful than White Fang, and they were ostracized. If they hadn't known how to play the 'beautiful ninja benefit' card, they might have surrendered with no way out.

The two people in the original plot may have given in, which is why Kurenai married Asuma.

It can only be said that the real ninja world is indeed not as passionate and sunny as the anime. It is completely dark.

"Stop talking!"

Kurenai interrupted Anko.

Because she is in a very confused mood now.

"Quan, when will you leave when you are leading the team for this exchange?"

Seeing Hong like this, Anko did not continue to press, but asked other questions.

"Maybe after the Chuunin exams are over, but if you want to go to the castle tower, you can leave early. It will be inconvenient if I go back!"

Although Quan didn't know the complete plan, he was keenly aware that there was a big move in the castle tower this time.

If the two of them don't want to get involved, it's best to leave Konoha as soon as possible.

"..." Hong was silent. Just when Quan thought the other party would refuse, she nodded, "Okay!"

Although Hong didn't know why she and Anko were asked to go to the castle tower in advance, she knew one thing, that is, the other party would not harm her and Anko.

And she has made up her mind to seek refuge in the castle tower, but in name she will go to the castle tower on a long-term mission.

Unless Konoha wants to break up with the castle tower, they can't stop this kind of mission, let alone restrict it.

Once they really dare to play like this, they will no longer want the benefits there.

By the way, all the students eliminated from Konoha's Ninja School in the past few years have been absorbed into the castle tower.

Everyone who can sign up has ninja talent, but admission to the Konoha Ninja School is completely a matter of personal relationships. Unless your talent is off the charts, there will only be hundreds of people competing for the dozens of spots.

And over at the castle tower, even if these people can't be any top experts, they can at least be genin.

If you have talents such as sealing techniques, medical ninjutsu, etc., you can make a lot of money.

Yes, Konoha Ninja School has no shortage of students, so it eliminates so many students with ninja talents.

But the castle tower is in short supply!

Not many ordinary people have ninja talent, so these eliminated registered students are the best targets.

Vampire!

The castle tower can grow rapidly because it sucks the blood of Konoha.

Of course, their blood-sucking is not without benefits for Konoha.

At least there's no need for the leaves to be rolled up like that, right? (serious face).

The next two months were routine.

And Tang Ping and the others were not in a hurry.

Because he was relaxing and adapting to his immortal body in order to prepare for the next battle, Naruko took the opportunity to learn the Flying Thunder God, and Xiang Rin asked for advice on sealing techniques.

Xiang Rin is not an idiot. Izumi and Naruko guessed Dopei's identity from their attitude, so they pestered him every day to ask for sealing skills.

My little life was really happy.

But today, the incident involving Tang Pingping began.

Mission of Wave Country!

Dazna, this guy, finally came to Konoha to commission.

For this mission, Dohei knew that it was the last mission before the Chunin Exam.

At the same time, this mission is also an opportunity.

Because Wave Country is a small island country with a small area, and it is only separated from Fire Country by a bridge, its strategic position is extremely important.

If the Hidden Mist Village wants to invade Fire Country, it can use Wave Country as a forward base.

At the same time, if the Lightning Country in the north wants to invade from the sea, it also needs Wave Country.

So before, Wave Country was watched by many forces, and it was really difficult to attack the castle tower. At most, a port was built as a resting place.

Now is a good opportunity.

With the help of this mission, secretly control the entire Wave Country and turn it into the territory of the castle tower.

This position is too critical, so it must be taken.

Usually, taking action will cause a fierce reaction.

But this time, the mission of Wave Country will cause unrest. They took the opportunity to take action, and naturally it would not cause too much noise.

By the way, this is also an opportunity for the Mist Ninja.

Zabuza and Haku!

The former is easy to say, as a former rebel ninja of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he is just an elite jonin.

But Haku is different.

As an orphan of the Mizunotsuki clan, his talent is really too strong.

You know, wandering with Zabuza does not have sufficient resources, and his strength growth is extremely limited.

But even so, it has stimulated the bloodline limit of Ice Release.

If various resources are invested, he will be a guaranteed Kage-level genius.

Therefore, Haku is very important to the Mist Ninja.

When he knew that Dazna came to Konoha to entrust a task last week, Dohei sent the plan to the New Mist Village in advance, and hinted that Mei Terumi would have a "genius" from the Mist Village.

And this is also the last chance to make a profit before the Chunin Exam.

Soon, Izumi came to inform them to let their "exchange team" set off to the Land of Waves with Team 7.

It's just a C-level mission, and with Kakashi there, Sarutobi Hiruzen is of course relieved.

Even if the Root wanted to send someone to follow, he stopped them.

Unfortunately, what Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know was that after Danzo knew that the exchange team was also carrying out this mission, he quietly sent out a group of Root ninjas.

It was difficult for him to take action in the village, but if he was outside the village, he naturally had no such scruples.

At the gate of Konoha Village!

"Izumi!"

"Kakashi!"

...

Izumi with the exchange team and Kakashi with Team 7 greeted each other.

In addition to them, the team also had the employer this time.

Dazna!

An old man with a white hairband, glasses, stubborn and venomous.

"Tsk, sending so many little ghosts to protect me, is there no strong man in Konoha?"

He complained in a "low voice" so that everyone could hear.

"You guy..."

Naruto, who was carrying a bag, was about to make trouble for the other party, but was pushed back by Kakashi.

"Naruto, the other party is the employer of the mission, you can't mess around!"

Kakashi could understand this situation, after all, it was related to his own safety.

But he also wouldn't explain how strong he was, and that he could easily protect the other party even with others.

"Humph!"

Naruto turned his head away proudly.

The team began to set off towards the Land of Waves.
