Chapter 185: Debt collectors and wooden escape restart plan
Chapter 185 Debt Collectors and Mudun Restart Plan
It took less than three days to return to the country of ghosts and start from the sea route of the country of tea.
As a well-known bounty hunter, Kakuzu has been a bounty hunter for more than 40 years in order to hunt down high reward targets on the bounty list. He has traveled around the ninja world more than once, visited many countries, learned about local customs, and has a detailed understanding of the ancient culture of the ninja world.
Because sometimes you have to get close to the target, you can't rely on pure violence, but you have to blend in with the target and blend into the environment where the target is. Therefore, Kakudo has done more than one time to pretend to be a traveler.
The basis of camouflage is to know the situation of each country well, and to understand the history of ancient and modern, so that it will be handy to camouflage.
Among the countries in the Ninja World, the Oni Country is undoubtedly an extremely special country.
Just like the country of iron.
One represents the pure witch culture, and the other represents the pure samurai culture.
In the era when Kakutsu was born, the culture of shrine maidens and samurai was still spread in the world. In the Warring States Period, you can often see shrine maidens traveling around the world, hanging pots to help the world, and you can also see samurai embarking on a road of life and death in order to hone their will and sword skills.
In that era, although ninjas were the mainstream, there were still witches and samurai. Even monks, there were a large number of ascetic monks who traveled all over the world to spread their beliefs and recruit people into religion.
With the pacification of the Warring States Period, the power of ninjas reached its peak, and with the establishment of the one country, one village system, the culture of witches, samurai, and monks gradually shrank.
In the past, the Kingdom of Fire was an extremely large country that believed in monks. As a result, with the rise of ninjas, even the Temple of Fire, which is loyal to the Daimyo, lost its former majesty. Their ideas could only be spread in a small area, and the traditional culture of monks was gradually replaced by ninja culture.
The same is true for the witches in the kingdom of ghosts. In the era when ninjas dominated the ninja world, the priestess culture that should be exported to the outside world, under the protection of the main line of witches, the scope of activities of the witches has gradually shrunk within the country.
Compared with the large number of ninja groups that have become a symbol of a country's military power, the interests of witches, samurai and monks will naturally be occupied by ninjas.
Moreover, most of the priestesses in the kingdom of ghosts are ordinary women, and priestesses with special abilities are, after all, very few.
An independent shrine system, no matter how powerful the ninja is, cannot affect the status of shrine maidens in this country.
Obviously she is the leader of a country, a miko who can speak internationally, but in the underground black market, there is no bounty offered.
You know, even the big names of the five major countries are on the list. The same is true for the names of other small countries and neutral countries. Their names appear on the reward list, but it is only a question of how much the reward is.
While Jiaodu has been in the underground black market for decades, he has never seen a witch from the kingdom of ghosts appear on the reward list.
A special country, a special priestess system, and a mystery that is not eroded by the ninja system.
For Kakuzu, except for the special period when monsters make trouble, the kingdom of ghosts is the most stable country in the ninja world.
Similarly, there is no underground black market rampant in the Kingdom of Ghosts, otherwise, he would not have to go to other countries to exchange Hanzo's bounty, but exchanged it directly in the Kingdom of Ghosts.
With the outbreak of the third ninja world war, the center of the ninja world is concentrated on the big countries such as the country of fire. The country of ghosts, a border neutral country far away from the center of the mainland, is the inconspicuous one.
But the corners are different, because he maintains a financial cooperation with the official pharmaceutical company of the ghost country. When others pay attention to the five major countries, he is the only one who can jump out of the framework of the five major countries and see the essence of things.
The kingdom of ghosts undergoes some kind of transformation every year.
This transformation is unknown to outsiders.
The perfect road system attracts merchants.
The arrival of merchants has driven the economic development of the ghost country.
The acceleration of the economy has promoted the military integration of ninjas and ordinary soldiers in the ghost country, setting up multiple military regions, and turning the entire ghost country into an iron bucket.
More than that, the complete road shortens the distance between all towns and villages in the ghost country, facilitates the issuance of high-level government orders in the ghost country, and highly centralizes power.
Implemented new education and health care reforms.
Each reform requires a huge amount of funds, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources.
Although he doesn't know the purpose of the high-level officials of the ghost country to promote these things, it can be proved everywhere that the power of the ghost country is getting stronger day by day.
And these actions were covered up by the ninja war of the great powers.
After all, the big country is the protagonist of the ninja world.
But Jiao knows that the various wealth accumulated in the small ghost country may not be weaker than any big country.
The reason why it is still unable to compare with big countries is purely because of the lack of territory and population.
Jiadu can only have one idea about the current ghost country—too ambitious.
What will happen next?
Jiadu was thinking about this question before meeting the so-called mysterious leader that Zong Nan said.
He has a strong premonition that the Kingdom of Ghosts will definitely not keep its own place in the international arena in the next few years.
As for what level of commotion will happen, Kadotsu can't predict it. In short, it will cause the big names of the five major countries to feel extremely headache.
The First Military Region of Ziyuan City, the capital city, is separated from the commercial street by a wall, dividing the outside and inside into two worlds.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the commercial street, the First Military Region established with the back of Ziyuan City is the official name. The atmosphere inside is undoubtedly serious and dignified, which is completely inversely proportional to the hustle and bustle outside.
The wall that separates the commercial area from the First Military District is also very tall, just like the outer wall surrounding Konoha Village, but its strength is far stronger than the wall surrounding the entire Konoha.
Although the interior has undergone secondary expansion, it still cannot compare with the size of Ninja Village.
This is also a matter of course. After all, Ninja Village is managed in the form of ninjas and people living together, but the country of ghosts is different from the people and ninjas representing military power, and they are managed separately.
The ninja team that can be seen in Ziyuan City is only a guard team used to maintain law and order.
Entering the administrative area, except for the necessary guards, there is no breath or sound at places where people can hide their hands, which proves that the guards hiding in the dark have excellent hiding ability.
Having produced so many powerful ninjas quietly, Kakuzu has become more and more interested in what the Kingdom of Demons will do in the future.
Organization, strength, money, and planning... What remains uncertain is the purpose.
It is impossible to get it out for fun.
Moreover, for him, the forty-year work contract is just a short life experience.
Just like his nearly forty years of bounty hunter career, now it's just a different taste of life.
This is probably the surplus of a long-lived person, and there is no need to worry about longevity.
Maybe this is a very novel life journey.
"Um?"
It wasn't Chong Man who was responsible for leading Jiaodu in, but another military staff member.
Passing by him was a man with black hair and a rather handsome face.
Formally wears a black dress embroidered with asters, but on the left and right shoulders, there is another emblem.
It can be called a thunderous round fan symbol.
That is the family crest of the Uchiha clan of Konoha wealthy family.
This man with an unfamiliar face is a ninja from the Uchiha clan?
An envoy sent by Konoha?
No, let’s not say that this place will not be open to outsiders, just this Uchiha ninja wearing official personnel clothing with the aster flower logo is extremely intriguing.
It can only explain one thing, this is not the Uchiha ninja who belongs to Konoha, but works in the military organization of the ghost country.
The lower-level staff who led him in also gave a slight salute to the Uchiha ninja. It seemed that the rank was relatively high, and his face also had a familiar look.
Interesting... The corners are all calm.
Although this incident surprised him, it only aroused some interest in his heart.
As he guessed, the military organization of the ghost country is not simple.
Judging from the walking posture and the posture without weaknesses, this Uchiha ninja is at least a ninja of the ninja level. With only one heart, he may not be his opponent.
This point, Jiaodu is well aware.
"Mr. Kakutsu, we have arrived."
The staff leading the way stopped in front of a door, knocked on the door first, and only after the voice of "please come in" came from inside, did they turn the handle for Jiaodu to lead him into this office.
The environment of the office is simple, neither luxurious nor cheap, in between.
There are green plants planted in flowerpots placed in the window, and near the wall, there are glass cabinets for storing various books, documents and materials, and a thick pile has been accumulated.
A man in his twenties was sitting at a desk, on which were documents being processed, arranged in an orderly manner, and a half-drunk cup of tea.
After bringing Jiaodu in, the staff quietly walked out of the office, leaving room for Jiaodu and Shiraishi.
"I have known you for a long time, Mr. Kakutsu, the undead. Please sit down."
Shiraishi stood up from his seat and made a gesture of invitation.
Jiang all sat on the loose chair not far from the prepared desk according to Shiraishi's request.
"As for the work contract, I have already drawn up it here. Mr. Kakuto can take it back and have a look first, and then just bring it to me after signing. If there is something you are not satisfied with, you can sit down and discuss it slowly."
Shiraishi took out a contract document from the drawer and placed it on the edge of the table near Kakuto.
He didn’t even go to get it, but stared at Baishi with strange and relieved eyes.
"Are you a medical ninja member of Konohamae White Fang's team?"
The seemingly questioning tone is actually quite sure of his answer.
After all, the underground black market has offered a reward of 45 million taels. For Jiaodu, who knows people by money, this is a name that he cannot allow to forget.
At the same time, he also understood what the so-called three leaders were.
Because of the ex-White Fang team, except for the death of the captain Hatake Sakumo, all three members of the former White Fang team betrayed Konoha and became internationally famous S-class defected ninjas.
Especially Hyuga Ayane who has white eyes, the bounty is close to 100 million taels.
He has this kind of worth in his early twenties, and in the future he will surpass Hanzo and his teacher Sakumo Hatake just around the corner.
"Exactly. At the same time, I am also the direct supervisor of Xuan Yuanzhong led by Chong Nan. Xuan Yuanzhong is a mysterious force engaged in special work on the military side."
Shiraishi generously admitted this.
After all, we will have a 40-year-long cooperation with Kokuto, maybe even more than 40 years, so it is better to meet honestly.
Jia Du nodded in understanding.
The larger the organization, the more it needs some shady things.
After all, there are some things that are really not suitable to be explained internationally.
Such as stealing important information from other countries, assassinating important officials from other countries, sneaking into investigations and other dangerous work.
Obviously, Xuanyuanzhong is dealing with these secret work forces that cannot be shown to others.
There is nothing else to talk about, and Kakuzu is not the kind of talkative person, so he took the work contract that Shiraishi handed over, and left the office where Shiraishi was.
In the end, he didn't ask Baishi what his purpose was behind the scenes to promote the development of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
He's only been here for less than a day, so these are inappropriate questions to ask.
After a while, the other party will take the initiative to explain.
It doesn’t matter even if you don’t explain it clearly, Kakudo believes that with his own eyesight, as long as he pays attention to the internal movements of the ghost kingdom, he can roughly guess what the ghost kingdom’s next goal is.
Watching Kakudu leave, Shiraishi fell into deep thought.
Recruiting Jiaodu is not impulsive, but has been prepared.
The war in the Kingdom of Rain was just a chance.
After all, the military really lacks top ninjas.
Cultivating a person, let alone the cost of capital and material resources, just the cost of time is a problem. Not to mention, you have to worry about accidents that will die halfway.
In general, the addition of Kakudu made up for the lack of top-level combat effectiveness of the Ghost Kingdom's military.
Before this, Shiraishi also asked people to collect various materials on Jiaodu.
Great respect for money and job contracts.
At the same time, not attacking ordinary people is what Shiraishi likes more.
Jiao does not kill ordinary people, not out of good intentions, nor is he worried that his conscience will be condemned, but because of the nature of his work. He is only interested in special groups and reward targets with high bounties.
Killing ordinary people not only won't get paid, but will also cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and the investment and benefits are completely out of proportion.
As for killing too much, only the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. Anyway, it is normal for ninjas to kill each other.
On the contrary, Kakuzu, who focuses on profit and contract spirit, is more trustworthy than most ninjas.
At least the people targeted by Kakudo cannot be ordinary people, either nobles from various countries, officials from various countries, or groups with special powers such as ninjas.
Lost on the road of killing and money, only the last trace of personality is left.
He knew very well what his way of survival in this world was.
From this point of view, it is indeed a bounty hunter who can be trusted.
Shiraishi hopes that he can maintain this spirit in the future and not violate his last principle as a human being.
The bounty hunters who betrayed their homeland and country are only left with the integrity of their work, which can be recognized by others.
If this point is violated, it will be difficult for Kakudu to move forward in this world.
Instead of Shiraishi doing it himself, the first ones who want to kill Kakudu are his employers.
Losing integrity, treacherous bounty hunters have no choice but to die.

Debt collectors.
is the job title that Jiaodu got at the moment.
Collecting debts for the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce covers a wide range of companies. The internationally renowned Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company is an international company under its umbrella.
At the same time, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce also has a department dedicated to providing loans, and there are debtors of the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce in every country.
There are two kinds of debtors, one is the honest debtors who can repay the money in time and retain their credibility within the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce. Next time you take out a loan, you can enjoy the preferential activity of reducing the interest rate.
The other is the dishonest debtor who borrows money but refuses to repay it, and cannot retain his credibility.
To deal with such dishonest people, some special forces are needed to make them pay back the overdue money as soon as possible.
When necessary, some unconventional means can be used.
It is the job of debt collectors to make dishonest debtors pay back their money.
Under the impetus of the Ghost Kingdom's military, the Ziyuan Flower Chamber of Commerce officially established this cross-international debt collection department.
Debt collectors are divided into four levels: gold, silver, copper, and iron.
Iron debt collectors have the lowest level, while gold debt collectors have the highest level. The responsible debtor groups are also businessmen, celebrities, or even national level.
So far, among all the debt collectors under the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Association, there is no highest-level gold medal debt collector.
Even there are only three silver debt collectors.
Based on bronze and iron debt collectors.
Not only that, the higher the grade of debt collectors, the higher the fixed monthly salary.
The highest gold medal debt collector, with a monthly salary of 300,000 taels, a large commission at the end of the year, and the best social security.
The corners looked at the various welfare clauses in the contract, their green eyes shining faintly.
A fixed monthly salary of 300,000 taels is nothing. The important thing is the commission and social security, which are the real big ones.
Jiaodu held an extremely delicate round iron plaque in his hand, engraved with the symbol of the aster flower.
It means that Jiaodu has now become a low-level iron brand debt collector.
But whatever job you do, you must reach the forefront of the industry.
Whether it is a bounty hunter or a debt collector, Jiao has always been so demanding on himself and has become the benchmark of the industry.
So, first set a small goal and become the chief gold medal debt collector of the chamber of commerce!

Konoha 46, early February.
While it was still snowing, Yan Yin and Yun Yin suddenly reached a truce agreement.
Yan Yin returned the body of the third generation of Raikage, and Yun Yin also compensated Yan Yin.
At this point, the battle between Yan Yin and Yun Yin ended, but the third Ninja World War did not end because of this.
A few days after the truce with Yunyin, Iwagakushi immediately recruited 3,000 ninjas and went to the country of grass to set up a battle against Konoha.
In the absence of supplies, Iwagakushi decided to put all his eggs in one basket and make a complete break with Konoha, and make a quick decision.
And Yun Yin also provided reinforcements to the Land of Tang, mobilizing thousands of ninjas who had been used to deal with Iwagakure in the Land of Tang, led by the Fourth Raikage himself, to invade the Land of Fire on a large scale.
The Konoha troops led by Akimichi Torukaze retreated steadily. With the reinforcements of a large number of elite ninjas of the Uchiha and other ninja clans, they barely resisted the further offensive of Yunyin, but also suffered heavy losses.
Compared to Konoha's decline in the country of Tang, Yunyin's ninja momentum is like a rainbow, especially the leader of the fourth generation of Raikage went to the battlefield in person, which greatly increased the morale of Yunyin's side and put considerable pressure on Konoha.
When the outside world is in chaos and war, a dark corner of Konoha is full of calm.
In the dark and bright yellow laboratory, there are various experimental equipment.
In front of the experiment table, stood a figure with a blank face holding a scalpel, pale skin, and vertical snake pupils, dissecting the dead animal on the experiment table.
After a while, he looked at the door of the laboratory, and a person walked in without knocking.
The body is full of gloomy and cold breath.
The right half of his face was wrapped in a bandage, and the wrinkles on his face had increased a lot more than before. It seemed that the other party wasn't doing very well recently.
"You are not in the root base, what are you doing here? Did you come here to watch me make a fool of yourself, Danzo?"
Oshemaru put down the scalpel in his hand, wiped the blood that accidentally got on his hand with a white handkerchief, stared at Danzo with a pair of snake eyes, and his voice was hoarse.
"The front-line troops fighting between Konoha and Yunyin lost. At the high-level meeting just now, many ninja recommended you to go to the battlefield of Yunyin. Congratulations, Orochimaru."
This seemingly congratulatory speech was full of harshness to Da Shewan's ears.
He laughed sinisterly and licked his tongue.
"Don't make me laugh, Danzo. You should know that the more they support me, the more Sarutobi-sensei will be afraid of my existence. The older you are, the more afraid you will be forgotten by this world. Sarutobi-sensei doesn't want to abdicate."
Although the time has come for him to abdicate, some people in the village were dissatisfied with Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's gentle policy a long time ago.
So, after this war, his teacher Hiruzame Sarutobi had to abdicate if he didn't.
But he can't rest assured of the power in his hands, and he can't let go of Konoha. He always believes that his own balance policy can bring stability to Konoha. Therefore, he needs a Fourth Hokage who can listen to him.
It doesn't matter if you are disobedient, a fourth-generation Hokage who has no real power but no fame is also fine.
The bad thing is that Orochimaru himself is not among them.
As a Sannin, he not only has prestige, but also has his own team.
became the power that Hokage lacked, leaving only Anbu without mastery.
The power of Anbu has already been infiltrated by the Sarutobi clan. The most powerful ministers and deputy ministers are all ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, and they have become the dominant family.
Based on this situation, the more people who support him at the high-level meeting, the more he will force Sarutobi Hiruzen to abandon him as a disciple.
Orochimaru can predict the position of the Fourth Hokage, and he is getting farther and farther away from him.
"Oshemaru, don't you feel angry?"
Danzo asked.
"Angry?" Orochimaru sneered: "It's just a boring political struggle. What I Orochimaru wants, I will get it myself, and I won't get it from others. Even if that person is my mentor."
Hiruzen Sarutobi has indeed taught a lot of things. I am able to achieve such a high level of achievement and attainment in ninjutsu, which is inseparable from the elite education of Hiruza Sarutobi.
But it doesn't mean that he will finish his life according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement.
"Even if you want to rely on your own strength to win the position of Hokage, the other two of Sannin probably won't support you. Especially Jiraiya."
"Jiraiya? He has been used to being arranged by Sarutobi-sensei since he was a child, especially when it comes to major events, and he never opposes Sarutobi-sensei's ideas. It is not so much living his own life as living a life arranged for him by others. Although he is my friend, this is precisely what I despise him the most."
"Then why don't you support me in becoming Hokage?"
Danzo's eyes were burning, revealing his raging ambitions.
"Support you?"
Orochimaru was taken aback.
Looking at Danzo's wrinkled face, he shook his head.
"Ten years ago you had a chance to compete, now...you're too old."
Turn around and continue your research work.
"Leave aside the matter of Hokage, I hope you will assist me in completing a research."
Danzo was not angry, and instead invited Orochimaru, who admired Orochimaru's mind and top-notch research capabilities
"What research?"
"Wood escape."
Danzo spit out the word.
Orochimaru stopped the movement in his hands, and turned his head to take a deep look at Danzo.
"The Mudun project has been banned by Sarutobi teacher for many years. You should know what will happen to you if your private research on Mudun is exposed."
"I know Ri Zhan better than you. Even if the matter is revealed, he will not attack me. Moreover, I have arranged an important **** beside him that is absolutely unexpected."
Danzo said confidently.
Oshemaru pondered for a moment, and said to Danzo: "I understand, I can study Mutun for you, but I want a share of the cells between the pillars as a reward for the research."
Danzo frowned, but finally nodded, and agreed to take out a share of Hashirama cells as a reward for Orochimaru to study Mutun for him.
Compared to the finished Mutun, a serving of inter-column cells is nothing.
When Orochimaru succeeded in researching Mutun... Danzo smiled coldly in his heart.
The most respected disciple involves taboo research that the village expressly prohibits. If this matter is exposed, how can you step down? Japanese cut?
Danzo looked forward to seeing the other party's painful and regretful expression.
Since he doesn't want to give up the position of Hokage, he can only force him to give up the position of Hokage.
From this moment on, the only thing Danzo has to do is to use his own method to save Konoha and completely correct the outdated ideas of Konoha’s conservatives.
