Chapter 323: Sand Ninja Mission!

The River Country!
Dohei stood on the top of a hundred-meter-high stone mountain, looking down at the civilians below who were like ants.

There are wooden cows scattered among them.

This kind of thing has so many uses. Transportation, farming...harvesting are all inseparable from it.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to the agricultural machinery before Tang Ping crossed over, but it is more comprehensive.

Although the wooden ox is mainly made of wood, it has been processed with puppetry, making it not only more outstanding in all aspects but also less likely to break.

It was also because of the large number of wooden oxen that the common people were able to "cultivate the land carefully" instead of just relying on luck to eat after sowing the seeds.

The River Kingdom at this time is no longer the same as before.

Even though the population has exceeded one million, it is still absorbing people continuously.

After all, here we can eat well, live well and dress warmly. These things cannot deceive people.

Even if you have to work like 007 every day, it is the life that ordinary people dream of.

Anyway, Tang Ping himself is a little scared of the speed of development.

What limits its expansion speed now is that the training of management personnel cannot keep up with the pace, and it is afraid to jump too much.

At this time, the territory occupied by hundreds of thousands of square kilometers is already not small.

If they really dare to swallow up the entire River Kingdom, believe it or not, the neighboring Fire Kingdom and Wind Kingdom will immediately teach them a lesson.

Therefore, although the population of the River Kingdom has skyrocketed, the territory is not in a hurry to expand.

At least not yet.

"The Sand Ninja has arrived!"

Hinata Cangyue came over and reminded.

This huge rocky mountain, which was revealed due to the diversion of the river, is the location of this negotiation.

A few dozen kilometers to the west is the Kingdom of Wind.

After hearing the voice, Tang Ping withdrew his gaze and walked towards the fortress.

It is called a fortress, but it is just a simple building made of stones.

It is a base dedicated to monitoring the Kingdom of Wind.

There are usually ninja teams rotating.

The border is also blocked with traps and warning barriers to prevent the Sand Ninjas from entering and leaving the River Country at will.

Of course, today is an exception.

Because of the arrival of the Sand Ninja delegation, two teams of ninja were transferred away.

As for ordinary people? .

There is no need to transfer them. With their abilities, it is impossible for them to discover the Sand Ninja Delegation.

There are only three people in the Sand Ninja delegation this time.

Ebizo, Yekura, and Maki!
The one who makes the decision is naturally the Sand Ninja elder Ebizo.

As the intellectual leader of the Sand Ninjas and one who controls diplomacy and intelligence, he is indeed the best choice.

As for Ye Cang and Maki? .

Naturally, he was responsible for the guard duty and also for keeping up appearances.

tread!
Tang Ping walked into the simple stone fortress and saw the people inside.

In addition to the three people from the Sand Ninja Delegation, there are also Uchiha Yashiro, Ashia Kiyomi, Honda Taka and others from the castle tower, all of whom are internal affairs personnel.

"Mr. Dohei!"*3
"My lord!"*3
Seeing Tang Ping coming in, both sides stood up and greeted him.

Even Ye Cang is the same.

Because today she represents the Sand Ninja, not herself, so naturally she can't act recklessly like usual.

"It seems like you Sand Ninjas have finally figured it out?"

Dohei sat down and looked with interest at Ebizo who was sitting across from the stone table.

Because cooperation with the Sand Ninja was something they had mentioned a long time ago, but the Sand Ninja simply disdained to cooperate with them at that time.

After all, Sand Ninja is one of the five major ninja villages. Do you think your castle tower is worthy of cooperating with me?

Agreeing to cooperate now, in other words, means that the Sand Ninja acknowledges that the castle tower is qualified to be on an equal footing with itself.

"No one can go against profit, right?"

Ebizo responded with these words.

As expected of the intelligent Sand Ninja, his adaptability is quite good.

The cooperation between the two parties is that the Sand Ninjas will carry out larger-scale cooperation in puppets, minerals, venom, etc.

At the same time, the products produced by the castle tower, especially cloth, wood, salt, ironware, etc., also need a larger market. Both sides have needs for each other.

But this kind of thing can be done but not said.

Because these areas have always been monopolized by the nobles of the Kingdom of Wind.

In the past, the Sand Ninjas had no chance to come into contact with these things and could only survive by relying on mission commissions. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to make a desperate attempt to invade Konoha because their mission share was snatched away.

Since the castle tower smuggled supplies to the Wind Country through channels, the Sand Ninjas discovered huge profits, so Luosha coveted it and planned to control the castle tower through the mining area to make them understand that if they want to do business in the Wind Country, they have to give up the profits to the Sand Ninjas.

The result was a failure.

However, this does not mean that the two parties will not cooperate, but it will affect the distribution of benefits in the cooperation.

If the Sand Ninja wins, it would be the castle tower that takes the initiative to come and discuss cooperation, rather than the other side sending an envoy to discuss cooperation.

"That's right, I'm just very curious about one thing!"

Dohei also agreed with Ebizo's words and expressed that he was curious about something.

"Excuse me?"

Ebizo acted as if he knew everything.

"How dare those nobles suppress the Sand Village like this, and how can you tolerate it?"

Tang Ping stabbed him directly in the heart.

Everyone in the ninja world knows what kind of life the Sand Ninja lives.

They were completely backstabbed by the nobles of the Wind Country, and even a large share of the task of maintaining the survival of the village was given to Konoha.

Simply inappropriate.

Sure enough, a hint of anger appeared between Ye Cang's brows.

She was the one who had the most complaints about those nobles, but under the suppression of the village, she could only choose to act as the pioneer in invading Konoha and did not dare to blame the nobles.

There is no way around it. The Sand Village's finances, food, resources, etc. all need supplies from the Wind Kingdom.

Otherwise, do you really think a village of more than 100,000 people can survive in the desert alone?

They expressed their dissatisfaction with the nobles of the Wind Kingdom, and then when their supplies were cut off, they were left to eat themselves.

Such a real threat, coupled with the noble status deeply rooted in the hearts of ninjas, made the Sand Ninjas endure it.

"The adults have always been supportive of the Sand Village. The information you heard may be wrong!"

In response to Dodaira's pointed question, Ebizo directly used the term "fake news".

Even if the Sand Village is dissatisfied with the nobles of the Wind Kingdom, they cannot say it directly.

Anyway, no matter what others think, they can't say it themselves.

"Okay, let's talk about our next cooperation!"

Tang Ping turned to the main topic.

The purpose of the nonsense just now was to suppress the other party's morale and show that we have the initiative in the cooperation.

Even if he is not good at negotiation, he naturally understands this little trick.

"The Sand Village can make puppets and parts for you at a low price, and even sell minerals... venom, and you need to pay with salt, food, cloth, weapons... "

As the intellectual leader of the Sand Ninja, Ebizo understood Dohei's intention just now, and proposed cooperation with a calm expression.

Barter!

The castle tower has everything that the Wind Kingdom lacks, so they can gain a lot of benefits by cooperating.

It was just a small fight in the past, but once the formal cooperation began, any bit of oil and water represented huge benefits, and could even allow the Sand Ninja to break free from the control of the Wind Country nobles.

With such huge benefits, let alone the loss of manpower in local wars, even if all the ninjas died, it would not affect their cooperation.

"We can cooperate, but we want 90% of the profits!"

Tang Ping was very aggressive and didn't even mention the 50-50 split, he just went straight to 190-190.

"you…"

Just as Ye Cang was about to lose his temper, he was stopped by Ebizo.

If it was anyone else, even if it was the newly ascended Kazekage, Ye Cang would not have obeyed, but she barely suppressed her anger after hearing what Ebizo said.

"We in the Sand Village need to put in a lot of effort to protect the convoy and provide the market. If we take half of it, I think it's perfect!"

Ebizo calmed Ye Cang down and went straight to the ground to return the money.

As long as they can control this supply channel, the Sand Village will not be tightly controlled by the nobles and major forces.

This is the most critical point!
In comparison, although interests are also important, they are not as important.

However, what he didn't know was that Tang Ping had similar ideas as him.
