In the middle of the night, in a hotel in the country of iron.

　　 Shen sits in front of the window with the bright moon in front of him. He is engaged in daily practice and meditation. Although the world has been polluted by some power, meditation, a way of tempering his own spirit, will not be affected.

　　 The sound of clinking iron hammering echoed in Shen's ears, as if it were a symphony. This may be the specialty of this iron country, the ubiquitous blacksmith shop.

　　 Compared to ninjas who are extremely demanding for flexibility, the samurai who have continued from the Warring States period to the present have higher requirements for armor and weapons, even if they have been assimilated by ninjas to some extent.

The assimilation of the samurai was a thing that made Shen very disappointed. On the way here, through some conversations in the caravan, Shen successfully obtained a part of the information of the world, such as the ninja who uses chakra as the main energy. Is the mainstream profession in this world.

In this situation, Shen initially thought that this Iron Country might be the only pure land, the only profession that still continued the original development of this world, but after arriving in the Iron Country, Shen was very disappointed by everything he saw. In his eyes, there is no essential difference between the samurai here and the ninjas hired by the caravan.

After a long time, Shen slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to close the window, and then sat in front of the table. After the **** caravan arrived, the boss generously gave Shen a very generous commission. After getting the money, Shen was the first to pay. Just bought the most detailed map he could buy.

It is said to be the most detailed, but this is compared to other maps, let alone other countries. Even the regions of the Iron Country are not clearly marked on this map, and the only ones that are more valuable are widely known. The three trade roads lead to Konoha in the land of fire, Sand Ninja village in the land of wind, and Yunnin village in the land of thunder.

Konoha is the Ninja Village in the strongest country among the population. It is rich in wealth, and can digest everything. Because of the special puppet master profession in Ninja Village, there is also a great demand for high-quality iron ore. As for Yunren Village, it is purely close to obtaining strategic resources. After all, iron resources are not too small for a country.

Watching the map carefully and planning his next route, Konoha must be going first. As the most powerful country in the world, maybe this Ninja Village has had any deal with that alien. Of course, This is purely Shen's conjecture.

　　 Suddenly, Shen raised his head and looked out the window. Several dark shadows were quickly leaving from the eaves in the night. Among them was Shen's marked person. The curse on the opponent's body allowed Shen to easily perceive his whereabouts.

　　 After the few people left, Shen didn't mean to chase, instead he directly found the boss who was drinking.

　　 "Master Shen! Let's have a drink together, today I have a treat!" The drunk caravan boss raised his cup to Shen.

　　铮, the soul blade behind Shen vibrated, and the sound it made washed the boss's spirit from top to bottom. The boss was so excited that his drunkenness disappeared.

　　 "Come with me, I have something to ask you."

　　 After the boss became sober, he asked cautiously, then put his hands in front of him and walked to the hotel entrance.

　　 The boss paused twice and glanced at the remaining wine in the glass. After hesitating for a few seconds, he put the glass on the table and followed quickly.

　　Walking on a fairly prosperous street, carefully looking at the weapons hanging from the surrounding blacksmith shops, they are all low-quality weapons, not as good as the products produced on the clock tower assembly line, but this is normal, after all, the gap in the times lies here.

　　 "When will you leave for Konoha the fastest?" Shen suddenly said, his voice broke through the surrounding noise, and it was accurately passed into the ears of the caravan boss.

"Uh... it will take five days at the earliest. I have already found my old friends and commissioned them to sell the products this time. By the way, I will collect the more popular products from Konoha." The boss said honestly. Recently, the profits of runners are getting higher and higher, but this is based on the higher risks of runners.

　　 Many previous small caravans have all died out in recent months. This is why the boss wants to win over a master so much. The prerequisite for making money is to save lives.

　　 "I haven't been to Konoha, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Shen asked immediately.

The boss thought about the things that need attention. He doesn't have any special feelings anyway. Konoha is generally peaceful, and the ninja's control is good. The protection fee paid is less than half of the other villages. This is also theirs. The reason why I like to run there is that no matter what goods I bring, as long as it arrives safely, I can still make a lot of money after excluding taxes and protection fees.

After pondering for a while, the boss decided to start from the industry he was familiar with, "In fact, there is nothing to pay attention to. If you insist, the purchase price of Konoha's medical equipment has been rising in the past two years, even with the kind of manufacturing. The raw material prices of the equipment are also several tiers higher. If you want to make a fortune, I can help you contact and buy a batch of similar products."

　　 The boss made three words to make money. In addition, he was also trying to tie Shen and his caravan together with his profit.

　　 "The price has gone up for two years? And since it is so profitable, why don't you mainly sell this." Shen continued to chat, and sometimes, some information was talked out like this.

"Because the fifth generation of Naruto Senjutsu is on the stage, I heard people say that she values ​​the medical ninja very much, and has been pushing reforms in this area, and the corresponding prices of such things have gone up." The boss thought for a while. Said.

"As for why we didn’t sell that, it’s because this thing has already been rounded up by several big caravans. It doesn’t matter if we pick up some corners and sell it. A country that does not produce iron."

　　 "Of course, Lord Shen, don't worry, I won't overdo it when I contact you."

　　 Monopoly, sure enough, monopoly is the most profitable business wherever.

　　Shen thought in his heart, "Then what commodities do you mainly buy and sell?"

"I sell everything, but recently I mainly buy some iron ingots of average quality and transport them there, and then buy some handicrafts and food to ship back." The boss said that he was making money, and he had a lot of confidence. After all, he started from scratch in this harsh environment. A character of this level, how could it be possible without the ability.

"Konoha's handicrafts and some souvenirs are huge profits, especially the small statues with the Konoha logo, which can be sold at very high prices. Everyone likes this thing, and some people always say that they are displayed at home. This can make everything go smoothly and make a lot of money."

Listen carefully to the boss's endless talk about business and occasionally nod his head. Many things the boss said are in line with the laws of the market. For example, Konoha, who has repeatedly defeated the country, already has a well-known soft power. Just a Konoha mark. The selling price is proof.

　　 However, this soft power must also be supported by hard power. At the very least, most people will not dare to forge the mark publicly, otherwise the price will be sold.

　　 "Since such a huge profit, there are no smuggling merchants?" Shen interjected.

The boss paused, "It seems that you really don’t understand Konoha, sir. Who would dare to smuggle Konoha? The well-known Hyuga clan from the Konoha Security Department can see through their eyes, and they can’t hide their eyes wherever things are hidden. ."

　　 "My lord, we can't do this kind of thing. Konoha is very strict on smuggling. If caught, he will be punished severely. Sometimes he will send ninjas here to hold him accountable."

　　 "The Hyuga clan..." Shen remembered the name in his mind, "Is there any more famous ninja you can introduce to me, the one you can touch."

The boss was about to speak, and Shen choked back with his last half sentence. He is a little boss who can touch, there are not many Shangnin, let alone those who are widely circulated in the ninja world. .

"Yeah... You know, my lord, I'm a small businessman, and the person I'm a little familiar with is Konoha's blue beast. I'm on Mitkay. I'm talking with a girl named Tiantian in his team. The ninja has a long-term supply agreement, and every time some of the cheaper weapons brought in the past are given to her in batches."

"By the way, there is also a member of the Hyuga tribe in Your Blue Beast's squad, called Neji Hyuga. A few years ago, he shined during the Chunin exams. It is probably the core personnel, but I am not familiar with him. ."

The boss thought hard, and constantly searched in his memory to see if there were any ninjas worth talking about, "That's right! I also have an autographed book by Lord Konoha Jilaiya, I have participated in his signing event. , The people drawn in the book... really make people look at them and show no interest in normal women."

　　 Shen stopped, why is this Konoha hero in the boss's mouth, Jilaiya, sounds like a painter who paints a book?

"No need to say it." Shen interrupted the boss's desire to share. If this continues, the boss will tell the story in the book. "I will leave in three days. If I can catch up, I will go with me. I'm embarrassed if I can't keep up."

　　 "Catch up, catch up." The boss hurriedly promised that he would lose a little profit at most two days in advance. After a trip to Konoha, he would completely return. He still distinguished this matter.

The boss estimates that Shen may be a warrior of the upper level of ninja. For a ninja of this level, he may not be hired for money. It is pure luck. Even if he can, the price of the **** caravan is ridiculously high. Maybe something was sold midway.

　　 There are very few people like Shen who can rescue halfway through. This kind of person has a strong sense of morality, a strong sense of responsibility, and is very reliable.

After confirming the time to go to Konoha with the boss, during these three days, Shen ran around several nearby towns and tried to search for some useful information. Unfortunately, nothing was found. Instead, he saw several samurai publicly on the street. Fighting, the beating was relatively severe.

In addition, Shen also discovered one thing, that is, Chakra, which is tentatively designated as intrusive energy, has invaded many non-living bodies. Things like Chakra are as difficult as some plastics to be decomposed by the planet itself. Karadu re-entered the cycle of the entire planet, invading the space that was originally other energy.

Under such a reciprocating cycle, the extremely high concentration of chakras in this environment appeared, but this also made Shen very puzzled. They have reached this point. If there are really aliens, they should also come out to harvest. NS.

　　What are they waiting for? Is it possible to wait for Chakra to assimilate the entire planet? Then eat the planet in one go? It is impossible to think about it. Chakra's assimilation ability is indeed strong, but according to Shen's observations over the past few days, if he wants to penetrate the entire planet, it is estimated that the time can be used as a unit of 100 million years. From the perspective of efficiency, this is not worthwhile. matter.

　　, if extraterrestrials exist, what kind of trouble might they encounter?

　　 Three days later, Shen arrived at the departure place as agreed. The caravan owner has bought more than a dozen cars and brought his own employees here for the final inspection.

　　 Among these goods, there is a carriage that is Shen. According to the boss's intention when Shen chatted with the boss yesterday, the goods of this carriage are regarded as a commission for Shen.

　　 Shen, who has traveled back and forth several times in many places, now also roughly understands the prices of some commodities in this world. If this carriage is full of goods the boss said, the price will be several times more than the commission given by the boss when it came.

"Hurry up, this little work can't be done well, you are eating dry food?!" The boss yelled at the employees~lightnovelpub.net~ This rain cover has been covered for a few hours, and there are still a few more cars. The top of the carriage is empty.

At this moment, the boss saw Shen appearing next to the caravan and hurriedly walked over, "Samurai Lord, you are here, your goods are ready, they are the best iron ingots I can receive. , That quality leverage!"

　　 Shen, led by the boss, came to the side of the carriage. The carriage was full of iron ingots that had been initially forged. Because there were too many, the rain cover was opened a bit.

The boss took out a small hammer from his arms, knocked twice on the iron ingot, and made a crisp sound, "Listen, this is all made by a craftsman with a very good craftsmanship. I personally watched it. It is absolutely unambiguous! "

　　 Shen stretched out his hand, tapped and clicked, half of the iron ingot broke directly and fell into his hand.

　　 The boss's voice suddenly became quieter. He looked at the section of the iron ingot for a long time without saying anything. From the perspective of the section, the iron ingot was not inferior. How could it be like a bubble in Shen's hands? !

　　 "It's pretty good," Shen said.

　　 The boss sneered. A Shen was ridiculing, but what Shen said was in his heart. After all, this is a hand-made thing. Considering the limitations of technology, this kind of performance is good.

　　 "When will you leave?" Shen threw the iron ingot in his hand back into the car.

"Let’s set off right away. According to your request, we will take the big road this time and we will be able to get there in half a month." The boss said, and then he hurriedly started to prepare the goods, for fear that Shen felt that the departure was too late. .
