Chapter 207: Grasping the Fifth Mizukage!
Chapter 207: Grasping the Fifth Mizukage!
"What do you actually want to do?"
Zhaomei Meime stopped for a moment, looking at Tang Ping.
Among the three of them, only Hidenori was the team leader, and Qing was the ‘maid’, but her brain was different.
"I just want to make a tiny bit of cooperation with your family behind us!"
Tang Ping made a gesture as if he was creating a 'Finger Universe'.
The current Fifth Mizukage was still quite naive, completely lacking in foresight.
Easily manipulated!
"Cooperation?"
Hidenori was drenched in confusion, not understanding what kind of cooperation Tang Ping was referring to.
Moreover, they were still 'enemies'!
"Yes, Fire Country has surplus food and supplies, and Water Country has surplus materials and resources. We should help each other!"
Tang Ping explained.
Even if Fire Country's productivity is behind, it still is the most prosperous place in the Shinobi World.
But Water Country is 'closed and locked', the extent of the lack of supplies is well known.
The transaction is essentially just giving them money.
So, while battle talent was maxed out, other aspects of how their clan, Hidenori, and Zhaomei Meimei had no reaction, with Zhaomei Meimei looking surprised and Qing hesitating.
No one doubted Tang Ping's words.
At least in the Shinobi World, the credibility of the strong was truly worth trusting, and their identities and situations did not require deception.
"Are you not afraid..."
Zhaomei Meimei asked tentatively.
Such a deal would be tantamount to 'betrayal' to Konoha.
"Trading with us is the United Fruit Guild; I don't know anything about it!"
Tang Ping's one sentence left the other party stunned.
Because Zhaomei Meimei really did not expect the other party to say this, so even if something happened, it had nothing to do with the other party.
Learned, learned!
And they could also fully and legally replicate it, directly letting the guild handle the transaction, with the benefit being that their clan would get the money, and the responsibility would be thrown onto the guild.
(Ninja = Mercenary, except for the battle field, they are poor in other areas!)
"The Terumi clan also knows few guilds, they can trade with the United Fruit Guild!"
Zhaomei Meimei knew this was a rare opportunity that could greatly benefit her clan. It might even allow them to catch up with the three great Shinobi clans, and so she decisively gave a response.
"The Uzumaki can also!"
Uzumaki Mochizuki looked at ZhaomeiMeimei and added a sentence sentence.
Because, he sentence.
Since he clearly knew his teammate's mind, and, given the other party's eagerness to agree, it meant there was a huge benefit, and he, as the young master of the Uzumaki clan, would not fall behind.
Even if there was something genuine, it could not be regretted.
Only Qing, who had no Shinobi clan behind her, cautiously asked,
"Tang Ping-sama, when can we 'leave'?"
At this moment, they were prisoners, so they had to escape the danger first.
"Deal is deal, ransom is ransom!"
Tang Ping looked at the three with a smile, he really wanted to trade with the Hidenori and Zhaomei clans, but that did not mean he was going to give up the ransom.
How could one easily let go of someone bound by their own strength.
Right, during their conversation, Xiaolin Ping, Yebi Daxiong, and others had already returned to Tianshou Pavilion, so there was no need to worry about their PY transactions being overheard.
Though only Team 404 remained, the three of them had no intention of escaping, given the significant disparity in strength.
Soon, they entered the city of Tianshou Pavilion!
Only then did they see those shabby huts and wooden houses, making them feel this was the normal Shinobi World.
"Uchiha..."
Suddenly, Qing subconsciously spoke.
Because a group of people wearing black, tight combat suits with 'Heaven' kanji on their forehead protectors were approaching, but the ball pattern on their attire immediately revealed their identities.
Uchiha!
The renowned noble clan of the Shinobi World, even the three great clans of the Mist Shinobi were a tier below them.
"No, they are the Tianshou Pavilion's security forces!"
Tang Ping explained.
The current Mainbranch had already become the Tianshou Pavilion's local forces, no longer the Uchiha.
At the very least, they had to be separated from Konoha Village.
Uchiha Yahui led the clan members quickly to the front, scanning Tang Ping with a cold stare.
He was worried whether she had been injured while dealing with the Third Mizukage. Seeing that she was fine, he naturally reverted to his usual aloof demeanor.
"Yayi, you will protect the United Fruit Guild's convoy on its journey to the Land of Water to trade with the Uzumaki and Terumi clans. While you're there, bring back thirty million ryo as ransom!"
Tang Ping directly assigned the task to Uchiha Yayi.
With her current Jonin Commander-level strength, and the assistance of elite Uchiha forces, she could easily come and go in the Land of Water, even if she couldn't dominate it entirely.
Trading in the Land of Water wasn't just about money and foresight.
If it were just about money and foresight, would the major guilds of the Fire Country be dead?
Everyone knew that trading with the Land of Water would surely bring in huge profits.
The problem was that money alone wasn't enough.
Strength was needed!
The Land of Water was divided among various shinobi clans, making it a conglomerate of countless clans, with the Mizukage's power largely hollowed out.
Trading there was akin to courting death.
So, this kind of business wasn't something ordinary merchants could handle.
But Tang Ping had no such worries.
Because he could send a 'Jonin Commander' along with a group of elite Uchiha to protect the convoy. Could other guilds do the same?
They might not even be able to find an Elite Jonin.
"Yes!"
Uchiha Yayi nodded without hesitation.
With her help, Tang Ping could indeed save a lot of trouble.
Hyuga Cangyue's strength couldn't be openly displayed, and while Yamakai Koji could kill, leading a team was out of the question.
Therefore, the support of the Uchiha Main Branch gave him a reliable and trustworthy force to use.
After assigning the task, Tang Ping began to focus on his research, preparing to complete the item he had prepared for Hyuga Cangyue.
As for money?
He wouldn't misuse the village's funds. Hyuga Cangyue had been hunting in secret to obtain her 'Extraordinary Organ,' and with the previous harvest, it should be enough to complete it.
With this Extraordinary Organ, her combat power would significantly increase.
While it might not make her a Super Kage, she would at least be on par with Daido in the Strong Kage tier.
Don't underestimate Daido!
In this era, where overpowered beings haven't yet appeared, the Strong Kage tier was the upper limit of the shinobi world.
Even Uchiha Madara, without his Rinnegan, was at this level.
In other words, as long as Hyuga Cangyue had this Extraordinary Organ, she could hold her own even if Uchiha Madara, that LYB, came to attack.
This also gave Tang Ping the capital to secretly manipulate the chess pieces.
As for himself?
His overt strength couldn't be used casually.
Time flew by.
While Tang Ping was fully engrossed in his research, unaware of the passage of time, Uchiha Yayi finally returned.
It had been over a month!
If he hadn't trusted her and the Uchiha's strength, he might have thought something had gone wrong along the way.
It took so long because renting and purchasing ships was difficult, which is why it took so long.
Once the route was established, it would be much faster in the future.
The Tian Shou Pavilion had a 'port.'
Though simple, it was quite large, with a significant amount of silt and debris cleared out.
If done by human labor, it might have taken years and thousands of people working continuously to complete.
But with the 'Construction Corps,' it was finished in less than a day.
By the way!
During this time, rumors and legends about the Wailiang had begun to spread in the Land of Rivers, making it a terrifying presence.
And these stories were also spreading in the southern Fire Country.
Ninjas weren't just for fighting.
Using transformation techniques, they could easily spread rumors and legends, as ordinary people couldn't tell the difference.
It was because of the Wailiang's existence that the Tian Shou Pavilion had this large, albeit simple, port.
Splash!
Five merchant ships slowly docked at the port.
The decks of the ships were stained with patches of fresh red, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.
This was the trade of the shinobi world!
It was all soaked in blood.
Without sufficient strength, trying to get into this business was a death wish.
Because here, 'business battles' were simple.
Just eliminate your competitors.
