Chapter 696 Transaction!

Konoha Village!

It is already afternoon.

It takes a long time to chase, but it will naturally be much faster to come back.

"Lord Dohei!"*2

Naturally, Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie would not seek death, and insisted on performing a 'business-like' identity check, but greeted them respectfully.

However, when they saw the bandages on Tang Ping's body and his face as pale as paper, their expressions instantly changed.

Because they couldn't believe that the famous 'Purifying Flame' could be injured like this.

Fortunately, no matter how curious they were, they had no intention of asking why.

No wonder he is really smart to be a doorkeeper.

After entering the village.

Dohei immediately went to the Hokage Building to hand in the mission.

The task was received from Jiraiya, so naturally he had to find him to hand over the task.

However, when he came to the Hokage's office, he found that Jiraiya was not alone here.

There were also Tsunade, Shikaku, Koharu and Mito Monobu, as if they were waiting for him.

"Thank you for your hard work on this mission, but your injury..."

Jiraiya first praised him, and then when he wanted to ask about the process, he saw that Dohei was dying, as if he could fall at any moment, and he didn't know whether he should continue to ask.

"Ahem...it's okay, I'm not dead yet, I just need to rest for a few years and I'll be fine!"

Tang Ping, who coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, spoke in an unkind tone and glanced at everyone present like a knife.

Faced with such a rude look from him, even Xiaochun, who liked to be with him face to face, did not react.

Reasonable!

After Izumi, Yamama Koji and others returned to the village first, they figured out the mission and also knew that Dohei had been ambushed by Danzo, the two major ninja villages, and the nobles.

And the fact that they were able to ambush so accurately was naturally related to Tang Ping's intelligence leakage.

From this aspect, it is because Konoha has tricked Tang Ping into doing this, so he has a guilty conscience.

If it were ordinary people, even if they were wrong, they would not bother to explain, or ask the other party to provide evidence.

But Tang Ping is not an ordinary person!

Not only does he have the castle tower, a force with thousands of registered ninjas, but he is also a top powerhouse, so there is no need for evidence.

"Senior Jiraiya, there are too many coincidences in this mission. Shouldn't we investigate carefully who leaked my information?"

Tang Ping made the request straight to the point.

He has the qualifications to ask Konoha to give him an explanation.

In order to carry out the tasks in the village, I almost received lunch boxes from everyone, so it was completely natural for me to ask for an explanation.

It would be abnormal not to!

So even Tang Ping actually didn't mind the ambush.

After all, through this ambush, he already knew that the daimyo and nobles were preparing to unite several major ninja villages to attack the castle.

This information alone is worth the price of admission.

But even if it doesn't matter in my heart, I still have to pretend.

If Tang Ping acted like he didn't care at all, everyone would know there was something wrong.

"this…"

Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.

Because he was not sure who leaked the information.

But what is certain is that the person is in the office, otherwise it would be impossible to know the information and be able to contact Danzo.

He actually doubted the two consultant elders!

Because based on their relationship with Danzo, even if the other party is now a traitor, it does not mean that there is no secret contact.

No, there will definitely be contact.

Therefore, this matter really cannot be investigated in depth. Once investigated, it is possible that the two of them will be traced in the end.

"This is an accident!" Tsunade, with her arms folded, broke the awkward atmosphere, and then continued: "It should be Danzo's remaining subordinates who saw you leaving the village and passed on the information!"

She was speaking the truth with her eyes open.

What else should I do? It’s impossible to fall out directly, right? .

Well, at this time, she didn't know that the envoy from the Country of Fire had discussed the "Fire Extinguishing Plan" with Jiraiya and the others, thinking that there was room for relaxation.

"Yeah…"

Tang Ping's eyes were full of suspicion. Just when a few people thought he was going to fall out, he suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Then I want to hire some people to serve at the castle tower. This is the list. What do you think, Hokage-sama?"

He took out the scroll as he spoke.

This list was made by the Castle Intelligence Department who spent a lot of effort to select people who could integrate into the Castle and who were not above Konoha's bottom line.

These people on the list, in Konoha, are all Jisuke who are not talented enough to be admitted to Konoha Ninja School, and their connections are not enough to get people around.

If it was before the castle tower sucked blood, Konoha wouldn't care about these people at all, and they would leave if they wanted to.

Because they still have a chance to become ninjas in Konoha, but there will be no chance at all if they leave Konoha.

But since the castle tower appeared, these people had a new choice.

At least they were in the castle tower and could apply to enter the ninja school or receive ninja training.

The castle tower provides a full set of resources!

But as a price, you have to work for the castle tower for several years after graduation.

It is precisely because of these that the number of ninjas in the castle tower seems to have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

There is no need to worry about being used for free.

Let's not talk about the probability. After all, during the training process, various tests and the will of the blazing sun are constantly instilled.

Even if a prostitute monster does appear, the castle tower will hunt him down.

With a few measures, this situation can basically be eliminated.

Now, the castle tower has more than enough resources, but there are not many people with chakra talent.

That's why he has to keep sucking Konoha's blood.

"No, absolutely not!"

Before Jiraiya finished reading, Koharu, who was sleeping on the side, was already excited.

Thousands of names!

It didn't really matter to Konoha, the chance of them becoming ninjas in the village was zero.

The problem is that once these people go to the castle tower, they can all become ninjas, which is unacceptable.

Jiraiya frowned and glanced around, and found that there were not many ninjas above, all of them were from the declining ninja clan.

Except for 'Tiantian' who felt a little familiar to him, everything was strange.

"As Hokage, I cannot force the villagers to leave the village!"

Jiraiya stated his position.

Even if Hokage has to bear the darkness, he must not trade with the villagers.

"How can you be sure that these people don't want to go to the castle tower?"

Dohei's mocking eyes glanced at the two advisor elders and Shikaku.

These people on the list all dream of becoming ninjas, but they have no chance at all in Konoha, but they have a great chance in the castle tower.

The problem is that after the Hokage system noticed that the castle tower was sucking blood, they implemented controls and did not allow these talented villagers to leave.

Absolutely inappropriate!

In other words, Danzo was too powerful and his tactics were dark, otherwise he would not be able to stop him at all.

Becoming a ninja is the dream of all people in the ninja village. Now that we finally have this path, someone is directly blocking it. How can we not make people angry?

The two consultants and Nara Shikaku knew about this, but instead of stopping it, they secretly helped.

Because they don't want to see the castle tower continue to grow, restricting these people from leaving the village is tantamount to cutting off the nourishment for the castle tower's growth.

That's why Tang Ping looked at them, which was equivalent to mocking his hypocrisy.

You keep saying you want to protect the villagers, but is this how you ‘protect’? .

Obviously, none of them were as shameless as Danzo, and none of them dared to look directly at Tang Ping.

"Even if this is the case, it is impossible for the village to agree to trade with villagers!"

Of course Tsunade's emotional intelligence could tell that there was something fishy about it, but she still shook her head.

It sounds like she categorically rejected Tang Ping's trading conditions, but in fact she agreed, but she hinted at another transaction method.

"Then if they want to 'migrate' to other places, will the village interfere?"

Tang Ping put it another way.

In other words, let these people migrate ‘voluntarily’.

"Tsunade!"

After moving to bed, Koharu called Tsunade's name a little anxiously.

But Tsunade didn't bother her at all, and nodded directly and replied:

"Konoha will not interfere with the migration of ordinary people. Those genin can also go through special procedures!"

Using this condition in exchange for Tang Ping not pursuing the matter of intelligence leakage is not bad.

Otherwise, if someone is so seriously injured because of the village, it would be strange not to take advantage of the opportunity to get angry. Then he will only pay a higher price.

It can only be said that Tsunade is indeed decisive enough.

The transaction was completed successfully.

Tang Ping stopped mentioning the leak of information from the village and simply gave a brief report on the mission before leaving.

But after he left, the office became lively.
