When Shisui Uchiha brought two teammates to the eastern border of Land of Bears, looking for a way to leap over Hell Valley.
In the desert area bordering Land of Bears and Land of Wind, three figures were galloping against the yellow sand in the sky.
The leader Sunagakure female ninja has a strong figure, her birch green hair is flying in the wind, and her slender legs are sweeping up bursts of smoke on the sand.
Behind her, two Sunagakure and Chunin followed, wearing Sunagakure's unique windproof clothing, a windproof hood, and purple lines on their faces.
"Pakura-sama, ahead is Land of Bears." A sand ninja saw a light green grove in front of him and knew that they had arrived at the border of Land of Wind.
"Go at full speed!" Pakura looked solemn and showed no intention of stopping.
The two Chunin could only continue to move forward with the leading jounin.
The three figures quickly disappeared into the lush forest. As they went deeper and deeper, the surrounding trees became taller and taller. The yellow sand in the sky was completely cut off by the towering ancient trees.
Pakura was walking through the forest with her brows furrowed, thinking deeply about the task assigned to her by Fourth Kazekage.
As Daimyo of the Land of Bears was massacred by Hoshinin, and all the nobles of Land of Bears were bloodbathed, the few nobles who escaped the disaster asked for help from Daimyo of the Land of Wind and Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
The marriage relationships of these nobles are spread throughout Shinobi World. Even Land of Bears, which has a population of less than one million, has a tradition of marrying its famous names and nobles with neighboring countries. This is also the instinct of small countries to survive in the cracks.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind heard that Daimyo of the Land of Bears and the nobles were slaughtered by ninjas. He was furious and called Fourth Kazekage Rasa from Sunagakure.
Although it was the ninja villages of other countries that launched the rebellion, Daimyo of the Land of Wind still used this excuse to curse Rasa and Sunagakure, and even took the opportunity to weaken Land of Wind's financial investment in Sunagakure.
After being scolded, Rasa returned to Sunagakure, called Pakura, and gave the Scorch Release ninja the task of investigating Land of Bears and Hoshigakure.
However, Hoshinin and Rasa did not directly give instructions on whether to send troops to Land of Bears to solve the rebellion, but let Pakura decide on his own based on the situation.
After entering the territory of Land of Bears, the three of Pakura first disguised themselves and sneaked into a city in the middle of Land of Bears near Hoshigakure, hoping to get some useful information.
When entering the city gate, the three of them were even prepared to see the city being slaughtered.
However, the crowds of people coming and going at the city gate surprised Pakura and the others.
Ancient cities had import and export taxes, which was the same no matter which city Shinobi World was.
However, the main tax targets are merchants, and the tax on pedestrians entering the city is very small.
However, the Pakura trio discovered that pedestrians entering the city basically paid no taxes. The guards at the city gate only inspected some small businessmen carrying goods, while ordinary people let them pass at will.
After entering this city, the level of prosperity shocked the three Pakura.
There is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going on the street. There are many small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street to sell their goods. It is obvious that this street is the commercial market of the city.
This place is completely different from the imagined city after the rebellion.
Feeling the abnormal bustling city around him, Pakura even suspected that he had unknowingly fallen under the enemy's illusion, and quickly activated his chakra.
After finding nothing unusual, Pakura glanced at the two Chunin next to him.
The two Chunin nodded in response and began to disperse to collect information.
And Pakura came to an izakaya in the busy city.
If you want to get information, places like izakayas where Gyuki snake gods are mixed are the easiest places to pry.
It is also a very difficult task for a ninja to sift out valuable information from the large amounts of information that some drunken drunkards speak freely.
After entering the izakaya, Pakura found a corner to sit down, ordered a bottle of sake, and then began to listen to the bragging and farting of the guests coming and going in the izakaya.
"I heard that the Kamijo family of Saga City was bloodbathed! All their assets were confiscated!"
"That's not all. Yesterday I met a businessman from Saga City. He said that the head of the Kamijo family was put on public trial over there. Many victims who had been persecuted by the Kamijo family and had their wives separated and their families destroyed appeared one after another and recounted the crimes of the Kamijo family. In the end, the head of the Kamijo family was hanged on the city gate!"
"Hahaha, this is really satisfying! When I was doing business in Saga City, I was extorted a lot of silver by Kamijo's dog!"
"But it's not just that. I heard that after the assets of Saga City's big families were confiscated, landless farmers can rent these fields from the government, and the rent is only 10%! The government even provides low-interest or even interest-free loans for agricultural tools and seeds."
"One percent? The noble men who met the 50 percent rent in the past were all good people!"
"Who is this new ruler? He treats these farmers so well?"
"It's not only good for farmers, it's also good for us merchants. Didn't you find that the city gate tax is much less? And as long as your goods are registered in one city and you hold the voucher, you can be exempted from city gate tax in other cities for a certain period of time."
"The commercial transaction tax is only 1 in 30! Many other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled!"
"If the new ruler can continue this policy, I will always support him!"
"Hahahaha! Well said! I wish the whole country was like this! You don't have to worry about being blackmailed when doing business. If you accidentally anger a local snake, you will lose everything!"
Listening to the discussions of the guests around him, Pakura felt a little confused.
As a ninja, she has received combat training since childhood, and her business knowledge is really poor.
But the excitement and longing for the future among the travelers in the izakaya while drinking and chatting are very contagious.
Pakura I don't understand why ordinary people in this country can celebrate so happily when the ninjas rebelled and killed daimyo and nobles.
While she was deep in thought, a figure sat on the stool next to Pakura.
"Boss, bring me a pot of sake." A male voice, obviously that of a boy, came from beside him, making Pakura couldn't help but turn his head slightly to observe.
I saw a black-haired, spiky-headed boy wearing a black coat, sitting next to her. It seemed that he noticed Pakura's gaze, and the boy turned his head and smiled at her.
Instantly, Pakura was horrified!
This boy is definitely not an ordinary person!
Pakura was just about to pull out his weapon and enter combat mode, but heard the other party whisper softly, "This is a busy city, and you don't want to kill many innocent ordinary people."
Hearing this, Pakura's hand that had been placed on Root's thigh ninja bag suddenly froze.
Her muscles tensed up and she stared at the boy next to her. Her intuition told her that this man was the mastermind behind Land of Bears's drastic changes and Hoshigakure's rebellion!
