"It disappeared. It was some kind of ninjutsu of time and space." Kakuzu was experienced and quickly figured out what Aoba had done.
Konan landed slowly, but did not directly express her opinion. Just now, she took back the paper airplane she shot. Then she was surprised to find that a message was left on the entire piece of paper.
Not many words, but a lot of information.
Konan was shocked and was not in the mood to continue recruiting people.
"Let's go."
On the other side, dozens of miles away, Aoba, Zabuza and Bai appeared at the place where they fought during the day.
Aoba casually took out a bottle of medicine and held it in his hand.
"Now we can talk."
Half an hour later, Aoba left, leaving only Zabuza and Bai with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Except for Karin, no one in the team knew that Aoba had left last night. And for the rest of the time, the team's progress was very smooth.
Zabuza did not appear again. We encountered several bandits along the way, but they were quickly cleared by the three little ones.
About half a month later, they successfully arrived at Wave Country.
"Okay, Mr. Tazuna, according to the contract, our escort mission has been completed. Let's say goodbye."
Tazuna opened his mouth, but was speechless. Because according to the contract, this was indeed the case. He only hired ninjas to escort him back to Wave Country. But it did not include protecting him to complete the bridge.
In fact, Tazuna originally thought that he could impress these Konoha Ninja along the way and let them continue to provide free protection for Wave Country.
But along the way, every time he wanted to bring the topic to this aspect, Aoba's cold eyes made him dare not continue talking.
That Jonin was not at the same level as those three innocent children. Tazuna even felt that if he dared to say anything, that guy would most likely bury him somewhere on the road.
At this time, Wave Country. Kado's Residence.
Gato looked at the ninja who suddenly went crazy with a horrified look. At this time, there were basically no living people in his house.
The ninja warriors he hired at a huge price had no power to fight back when faced with that Kirigakure traitorous ninja.
"You, you, you... you don't keep your word, how could a ninja hurt the employer, you..."
"Don't you understand what rebellious ninja means?" Zabuza's words left Gato speechless. He had also investigated the background of this ninja. What the other party did was indeed extremely rebellious compared to traditional ninjas. This kind of ninja seems to have too high standards for himself.
"Don't kill me. I have money. You can have any amount. I'll give it to you now. I..."
"Mr. Gato, you may have misunderstood me. I am not here to kill you. On the contrary, I am here to apply for a new job. From today on, I will become your bodyguard, your only bodyguard. What do you think?"
"..." Gato looked dull. He is a businessman, so he naturally means what Zabuza's words mean. The saddest thing is that the financial resources he is proud of are completely useless at this time.
"No problem, I will give you the highest salary."
"Very good. At the same time, I think there is something wrong with Mr. Gato's business strategy. Why must Wave Country be prevented from building the bridge?"
Wave Country's mission, when Aoba read the original work, he felt a little powerless to complain. He didn't understand why Gato was afraid of the construction of a bridge.
According to the description in the plot, Gato at that time had a suppressive force advantage over the people of Wave Country.
So, why is he preventing the bridge from being built? If Aoba is Gato, he will wait for Wave Country people to build the bridge and then occupy it.
Blocking a bridge is not much more cost-effective than blocking the sea. Moreover, allowing Wave Country people to have more trade options is equivalent to fattening their own pigs in disguise.
Tenten What's the point of scraping the fat and water out of those poor devils? Of course they have to be fattened up before killing them.
Soon the Wave Country people discovered something. The Gato people no longer interfered with the construction of the bridge. The progress of the project was very fast, but the crowdfunding to build the bridge soon became short of funds. After all, it was only the lower class people who raised it themselves, and they could not financially support it at all.
At this time, Gato appeared again. But this time he did not appear as a violent vandal. Instead, he appeared as a collaborator of Wave Country.
Yes, Gato was cleared. Although it was only in name, he was indeed cleared. The people of Wave Country were horrified to find that Gato had reached an agreement with Wave Country's famous name.
Officially, he became an investor in the bridge.
At this time, the people of Wave Country are Muggles. They don't know whether to refuse or accept. Accept it. What Gato did before makes them unable to let go.
But refuse... I'm sorry, I really can't refuse. Gato directly invested a lot of money on the second day of the official announcement. More equipment, higher wages, and better benefits.
This makes the already poor Wave Country people really...
Soon, the first worker to join Kado Construction Company appeared. Then the second, and the third.
Within a few days, the workers' group that originally crowdfunded to build the bridge transformed into Kado Construction Company workers.
In response to this, Tazuna felt incompetent and furious. Then he joined as an engineer.
There is no way, the family is going to run out of food. If he doesn't make money, his little grandson will starve to death.
Wave Country is a small country. But since it is called a country, it still has some resources. Now, this country's maritime and land transportation are all in the hands of Gato.
Although he invested a lot of money, he can foresee that the money will be doubled in the near future.
Gato feels like he has opened the door to a new world. The only problem is that now he can only be regarded as a black glove of certain powers.
Aoba returned to Konoha and took a legitimate vacation. At the same time, he began to expand his laboratory.
With the financial support of Kado Group, Aoba was finally free to do his work. He bought all kinds of high-end instruments at once. The area of the entire laboratory was expanded by him to three times its original size.
At the same time, the teaching of Sakura has also begun to be put on the agenda.
"You have to know that Tsunade is Konoha's best medical ninja. At the same time, her combat effectiveness is also the best. Medical Ninjutsu, combined with Sealing Jutsu, can exert a power that is no worse than any ninjutsu.
The reason why few people take this path is because it requires some special talents, excellent chakra control, and strong theoretical learning ability.
Among them, Medical Ninjutsu requires precise chakra control. And Sealing Jutsu requires the support of a large amount of complex theoretical knowledge. And you are one of the very few Konoha who possess both of these two conditions."
