"You can go and have a look at the commercial street. It is said that Rōran is developing very well now, so you can just take a look at their specific situation." Konan said directly, and the matter was settled in this way.
"Let's go, I hope this commercial street can sell some materials that I can use." Xie said coldly.
"It is said to be a commercial street. Even if it sells, it only sells some simple daily necessities, right? How can it be possible to sell the things you want..." Kakuzu looked at Scorpion with a speechless face, can you have some common sense?
"Shut up." Xie glared at Kakuzu fiercely. If you can't speak, you don't have to say anything.
"Bala bala bala~"
As soon as they entered the commercial street, the three of them felt a different atmosphere.
The crowd was buzzing, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. It was obvious that they were happy from the inside out, and this kind of thing couldn't be faked.
Is this what a backward country can do?
This made them all a little unbelievable.
In a backward country, shouldn't everyone have confusion on their faces and dirt on their bodies?
Why... is this country so... happy?
Looking at the citizens of this country, Konan's eyes are full of longing.
She seemed to see their Akatsuki ideals and beliefs. Isn't this the result that Yahiko has always wanted to see? A world where there is no dispute and everyone's happiness comes from the bottom of their hearts. Isn't this the original idea?
At this time, thinking about the current situation of Land of Rain, and comparing it with the current Rōran, isn't it a matter of judgment?
"Shopkeeper, what is this?" Konan walked to a small stall and asked looking at the pot of oil.
"Hello, are you here for a trip? These are our Rōran's special snack fried dough sticks. Do you want one? Friendly reminder, it tastes better with soy milk or milk." The vendor glanced at the Konan trio, and then said enthusiastically.
"Fried dough sticks? How about three portions? By the way, store owner, how do you know we are from out of town?" Konan looked at the clothes of the three of them. It was obvious that they were all clothes from Rōran.
"Hahahaha, it's normal. This snack has been popular here in our Rōran for a while. It was invented by Mr. Sōkyū Hatake. If you are really locals from our Rōran, then you will definitely not ask what this is." The vendor said very naturally.
"So that's it... Store owner, how's your business going here? We're here to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation." Konan chose a seat near the vendors and sat down.
"Business is okay, but recently there have been a lot of people coming from out of town, and our commercial street has slowly developed. There weren't so many people before." The vendor said this as if he didn't care.
Yes, when the commercial street was first established in the past, there was actually not much traffic. There were only so many people in Rōran. Even if everyone came to support, it would not be possible for Tenten to come, so naturally there was not much improvement.
However, since Iwagakure made a surprise attack on Kumogakure, resulting in the death of Third Raikage, it seems that more and more outsiders came to Rōran.
Of course, most of those were spies who came from other villages, and only a few of them were truly curious and came here to travel.
However, the flow of people means that some fresh blood begins to appear in Rōran, not to mention the appearance of Tailwind Express, and many people come here to inspect it.
Especially now other small countries besides Five Great Nations also want Tailwind Express to be established in their countries. Their leaders think very simply. If Five Great Nations is available, doesn't that prove the feasibility of this matter?
Therefore, these small countries have also sent people here to negotiate, with the purpose of opening trade channels with Rōran.
This has also made the development of Rōran even more rapid, and the business in the commercial street is also getting better and better.
"So that's it~" Konan said thoughtfully, this matter was a bit beyond their expectations.
"The soy milk fried dough sticks for you three have been prepared. Please eat slowly, sir." Soon, the vendor brought the soy milk fried dough sticks for Konan and placed them on their table.
"Thank you." Konan nodded, she was really becoming more and more curious about this country.
"This tastes good." Kakuzu took a bite of the fried dough sticks, and a crispiness he had never experienced before appeared in his mouth. With the hot soy milk, a very comfortable feeling appeared in Kakuzu's taste buds.
"Indeed, I don't know if this commercial street sells weapons. If not, the materials are fine." Xie said while eating.
"Sir, if it's weapons and materials, there is a weapons store on the corner of the street. There are many novelties developed by Master Mayuri Kurotsuchi." The vendor said enthusiastically after hearing Xie's words.
"Really???" Kakuzu looked confused. Do you Rōran really sell everything??? Have you ever seen weapons sold in commercial streets???
"Thank you." Xie nodded and said, he still has some good manners.
"Then go take a look later. I don't know if the legendary Hirenkyaku Shoes will be there." Konan said directly.
"There is Hirenkyaku Shoes. That one was made by Master Mayuri Kurotsuchi a long time ago. It is now in the display cabinet over there." The vendor took a bite and said.
"Really?!?! How do you know such a confidential thing?" Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and said, this little vendor knows too much, doesn't he?
"Hey, this matter is not a secret among us Rōran. At that time, Lord Sōkyū Hatake said that we would rather let us know more and say what we have, rather than let them be harmed because we don't know these things. I dare not say anything else. There are many people asking about this matter these days."
The vendor said happily, as if he knew that these things were very common for him.
This Sōkyū Hatake...
Konan The three of them looked at each other. This Sōkyū Hatake is really interesting. He actually thought of so many things in advance, and... did that Hirenkyaku Shoes really appear in that weapon shop?
"I've finished eating, let's go over and take a look." Xie stood up directly. After hearing the news, he couldn't sit still for a moment.
"Let's go, shopkeeper, this is the money, I put it on the table." Konan stood up and placed the front of the three breakfasts on the table.
"Okay, if it tastes good, come again next time~"
