Amegakure, High Platform stood on the empty square in front of Rain Shadow Building.
As if to match today's important day, Amegakure, which was shrouded in clouds, finally cleared up. There was no cloud in the sky, and the sun hung so lonely in the sky, shining on the earth.
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. Not only Amegakure people are waiting for the upcoming inauguration ceremony, but surprisingly, Iwagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure actually sent representatives.
Konoha originally planned to unite with several other major Shinobi Village people to isolate and exclude Amegakure, but what people didn't expect was that Iwagakure and Sunagakure didn't care about Konoha's attitude at all, but chose to come to attend Hanzo of the Salamander's ceremony.
The reason is also very simple. Compared with the rich products and fertile land of Land of Fire, Land of Earth and Land of Wind, the land appears barren.
The emergence of the Chiba Commerce Association relies on Land of Rain, an important transportation hub, to transport and sell products from other countries to Land of Wind and Land of Earth, allowing these two countries to use products from other countries.
Moreover, due to the Chiba Commerce Association's special operation mode, the foreign specialties sold to the two countries are not too expensive, and the specialties of their countries can be entrusted to Trading Company to be sold back to Land of Rain, which brings great benefits to the two Capitals.
Instead of following Konoha to suppress and exclude Amegakure, it is better to continue doing business with Amegakure and Chiba Commerce Association.
After all, it's good to make money, so don't shiver.
Especially Land of Wind, who is so poor that he can hardly afford to eat. Any titles and honors Five Great Shinobi Villages has are nothing but bullshit.
As for Kumogakure, it was simply people who heard about Sunagakure and Iwagakure who came, and they also sent representatives to join in the fun.
Also, they heard that the big shot Chiba Commerce Association would appear, and Raikage also hoped that Chiba Commerce Association could also develop Land of Lightning's Trade Route.
As for the last Kirigakure, they didn't send anyone here. After all, they were too far away and were alone overseas. Such a lively scene had nothing to do with them.
Directly below High Platform is the VIP seat, with representatives of Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure sitting above them, and next to them is Chiba Tetsuya, the representative of the Chiba Commerce Association.
Present on behalf of Sunagakure was none other than Sunagakure's top veteran, Chiyo's mother-in-law.
Iwagakure is also the son of Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the twenty-year-old young Ninja Kitsuchi.
The representative of Cloud Village is Dodai, the think tank of Cloud Village.
Chiyo's mother-in-law and Tetsuya knew each other well. When Tetsuya was developing Sunagakure's Trade Route route, she personally went to Sunagakure and met Chiyo.
"Hahaha, it's easy to talk about. When doing business, harmony makes money and anger makes money."
"President Chiba is so happy, hahaha, I will thank President Chiba on behalf of Kazekage."
"Oh, Elder Chiyo, you're so polite. It's a matter of mutual benefit. Why are you thanking me?"
Chiyo smiled so hard that his old face almost wrinkled into chrysanthemums, and he negotiated a big business again. The money earned from this deal can help the village to make a profit.
Although Kitsuchi is a young man, he has an honest and honest personality and looks a little dull.
Ōnoki's original intention of sending him out was to temper him and get him to change his reluctance to talk, but obviously, this is not something that can be changed easily.
Unless he takes the initiative to talk to him, he won't say a word.
"President Chiba, I have admired you for a long time. I am Kumogakure Dodai."
After Tetsuya and Chiyo finished chatting about business, Dodai took the initiative to talk.
"Oh, it turns out to be Kumogakure's brother Dodai. I've admired him for a long time. I've long heard that brother Dodai has the title of Kumogakure's think tank. I didn't expect that Lord Raikage would actually send you out as a representative."
Dodai was also a little happy to hear that Tetsuya boasted that he was Kumogakure's think tank.
After all, everyone is willing to hear a few good words.
"Haha, President Chiba is joking, I just gave Lord Raikage a few ideas, I can't be considered a think tank.
But President Chiba is well-informed, even a nobody like me has heard of it."
"Haha, Brother Dodai, you are so humble. How can an outstanding person like you be a nobody?"
"Alas, President Chiba, I am really a nobody."
Dodai waved his hand and quickly changed the subject.
"President Chiba, actually, our Lord Raikage sent me here this time. One is to attend the inauguration ceremony of Rain Shadow, and the other is to hope that I can chat with you."
"Oh, Lord Raikage wants to talk to me? Could it be that Lord Raikage is also interested in doing business."
"Yes, we Lord Raikage are also very interested in doing business. We Lord Raikage also said that we particularly admire people like you, President Chiba, who have made the business Entire Shinobi World. He hopes that I can have a good chat with you and see if President Chiba has the opportunity to do some business with Land of Lightning and us Kumogakure in the future."
Tetsuya is a little surprised. Didn't you say that the people in Kumogakure are all a group of bandits? You can just grab whatever you want. Why are you thinking about doing business?
Wait a minute? I seem to have misunderstood. They Cloud Village seem to like to rob those Shinobi Clan members who have Kekkei Genkai.
The two started chatting, and Dodai began to introduce their Land of Lightning specialties to Tetsuya.
For example, some spirits, beef...
However, due to the special geographical environment of their Land of Lightning, only part of it borders the entire Shinobi World Continent, so they can only produce and sell most of their goods.
If Chiba Commerce Association is willing to send a caravan into Land of Lightning, their Land of Lightning products should be very popular in Shinobi World.
Tetsuya also thought seriously.
The two idiots Ninja he placed in Kumogakure did not send any news back, which means that Raikage has no special thoughts about his Chiba Commerce Association, and maybe they really just want to do business with him.
There seems to be nothing wrong with doing business with Kumogakure. There are still a lot of benefits to be gained.
"No problem, since Lord Raikage has kindly invited me, then when I finish my work, I will definitely lead a team to visit Land of Lightning in person. I hope Lord Raikage won't dislike it then."
"Hahaha, absolutely not. When this matter is over, I will go back immediately to tell Lord Raikage the good news. I believe that we Lord Raikage will definitely welcome you."
Along with several salutes, fireworks burst, and the band began to play.
The small talk ended and the inauguration ceremony officially began.
After a simple cutscene, Hanzo of the Salamander stood on top of the High Platform in front of everyone and took the Rain Shadow Hat from Amegakure, a respected old man. Hanzo of the Salamander put it on excitedly and officially announced that he had become Rain Shadow of Amegakure.
At that moment, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. Although he had already started wearing this Conical Hat before, the feeling of wearing it on this occasion was completely different from that of wearing it at ordinary times. It was so refreshing.
