Chapter 240 He is standing in front of me, that is enough

"Let the shadow guards of Kirigakure Village not act rashly, just play their role and wait for the news."

After a pause, Menma added: "Remind those in the Land of Waves to pay attention to Zabuza's movements, and you can win over him if necessary."

It's better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.

I believe Zabuza needs the support of a big force now.

"yes."

After Uchiha Shisui left, Menma held his chin in his hands and fell into thinking.

If he had not intervened, according to the original plot development, Terumi Mei, who has the limit of double blood succession, would sit on the position of the Fifth Mizukage with the support of Genshi, Ao and others.

Regardless of her strength or background, she is the best choice.

However, when they free up their hands, the Shadow Guard will be discovered sooner or later, and in this case, the source of intelligence in Kirigakure Village will be completely cut off.

Even if they would leave the closed state by then, the Robin Group would not have time to enter the markets of Water Country and Kirigakure Village.

What's more, there is a lot of "protection money" given to the Daimyos of the Land of Water.

If it weren't for the purpose of laying chess pieces inside Kirigakure Village and obtaining more information, Menma would not want to have anything to do with those corrupt nobles.

Reduce the finances of the Ninja Village, ignore the poor and weak civilians, and keep the wealth for your own enjoyment.

If anyone tries to break this deadlock, most of the higher-ups will be implicated, and the first to be resolved will be the daimyo and nobles.

This situation will never change after Terumi Mei, who comes from the Bloodstained Family, ascends to the position of Mizukage.

unless……

"Change a guy who has no taboos and ignores the rules to become the Fifth Mizukage."

Just like when Menma chose to ignore Asuma Sarutobi and let him wander around the Land of Snow.

"Seeds" also exist in this world.

All it takes is a little spark to ignite the fire in their hearts.

Only these flames appearing from all directions can form a prairie fire across the entire world.

"How will their fire burn in the darkness?"

Warmth the tired? To guide the blind? Sheltering the homeless?

Really looking forward to it.

Menma chuckled lightly and picked up the scroll that Mushi had brought back from the Kingdom of Demons.

However, after opening the scroll, Menma felt something familiar, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Natural energy?

No, it should be the more stable senjutsu chakra.

Moreover, it definitely does not belong to the fairy art system of the three holy places. It is some kind of fairy art that is full of "brightness" and "purity".

"Sure enough, the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts really has the inheritance of fairy magic. So, has she predicted my future?"

At this moment, as if sensing something, Menma couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and the light flickered.

In addition, there seems to be something else mixed in?

An unprecedented malice turned into a strange purple thick fog, rising from the scroll.

It's like a ghostly spirit, forming a vague ghostly face.

"Hi! Roar!!"

Menma vaguely heard the roar like a monster.

The voice was full of evil, resentment, and anger...

The longer you stare at the purple mist, the weird roaring in your ears becomes more obvious.

The office, which was originally at a comfortable temperature, has become a bit chillier.

Menma frowned in disgust.

There was an evil thought in my heart that wanted to kill and destroy.

It was obvious that this purple mist was affecting his will and inducing evil thoughts and malice in his heart.

However, this was not enough for Menma to control his mind.

"Are they monsters from the land of ghosts?"

Menma closed the scroll and murmured in a low voice: "It seems...it is a more powerful and weirder existence than Satori, the Box of Bliss, and Zero Tail, Nothingness."

Menma had already heard about the monsters "sprites" in the Kingdom of Demons. In the past, he had also collected some information from the ancient books of the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan.

The existence of monsters has existed since ancient times.

It is said that in the era when the Sage of Six Paths passed down the ninja sect, ninjas were not yet the mainstream. At that time, the ninja world fell into a chaos of demons dancing, and countless monsters were born. They fed on human flesh and blood and had cruel personalities, which brought great influence to the human kingdom at that time. It caused terrible damage.

But for monsters and monsters, there is only intermittent information, and many things cannot be verified.

All I know is that the sprite possesses immortality similar to that of a tailed beast, and can only be sealed with the power of a miko.

He once controlled an army of stone statues similar to the terracotta warriors and horses, and invaded and killed various countries in the ninja world, causing extremely bad effects.

It is precisely because monsters can only be restrained by the power of witches that it is very difficult for ordinary ninjas.

And the purple mist that Menma felt must be part of the monster sprite.

Unlike tailed beasts, which are pure chakra creations, they are a collection of evil thoughts similar to the "Box of Bliss Enlightenment". They are a special species born from human negative emotions and chakra.

"However, this evil thought feels too pure, right?"

Human emotions are very complex things.

However, compared with "Enlightenment" and "Zero-Tail", "Phantom" seems too pure.

It's almost like...

"The evil that is completely cut out of a person."

Menma touched his chin and said with interest: "Hiss, I really want to put it on the test bench and see its internal structure."

It just so happens that there is not much to do recently, so I have time to go to the Land of Ghosts to chat with the witch and exercise my body.

………………

At the same time, in a hidden open space.

There were more than 30 people standing in front of Yi Wenren, most of whom were businessmen, and a small number were down-and-out nobles.

"Yi Wenren, we came to you in the sun because you said there was a way to make money, not to stand here with you stupidly." A businessman mocked impatiently.

The others also muttered.

"Ahem! Quiet!!"

Yi Wenren cleared his throat and took a step forward to the crowd.

Under the gaze of a group of puzzled and indifferent eyes, Yi Wenren sorted out the silk robe he bought with all his savings.

He acted like a successful person, clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, are you confused now and want to know why I called everyone here?"

Everyone looked at each other and did not respond in silence.

"I know you are confused, I can tell you now."

Yi Wenren did not care, and said to himself: "Because I am the same as you, I have nothing but money, and I can be bullied by those nobles at will!"

When this was said, everyone showed astonishment, and then turned into shame and anger.

Yes, everyone present had been bullied by nobles.

[The first step, establish emotional resonance]

"It's like we are showing off in front of poor civilians. In the eyes of those nobles, there is no difference between us and civilians." Yi Wenren said with an extremely contemptuous look, "And this is exactly why I asked you to come."

Everyone was in an uproar.

"Quiet! Listen carefully!"

Yi Wenren shouted loudly: "I have an opportunity here, not only can I make more money, but I can also trample those nobles under my feet!"

"If you don't believe me, then please leave!"

After Yi Wenren said this.

More than a dozen of the thirty people turned around and left with curses.

At this time, there were eighteen people left, all of whom were small businessmen and downtrodden nobles, holding the lucky idea of ​​giving it a try.

[Step 2, eliminate cautious people]

Looking around at everyone, Yi Wenren nodded with satisfaction, "No matter why you choose to stay, I want to congratulate you in advance for making the right choice."

"I guess you all have reluctance in your hearts, unwilling to kowtow to those nobles."

Looking at the different faces of the people in front of him, Yi Wenren clenched his fists tightly, and then suddenly shouted loudly, "You, are you really willing to be bullied?"

Stimulated by Yi Wenren's excited attitude and extremely contagious words, a small number of people subconsciously followed and said, "No..."

Yi Wenren showed a contemptuous look, looked at everyone and continued to speak loudly, "Don't you want to have the status and power of aristocrats?!"

"Yes!"

"I can't hear what you are saying?"

"Tell me, do you want to have power and status!"

"Yes!!"

The hoarse shouts echoed around.

Yi Wenren took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Today, I want to introduce a brand new business operation project to you!"

"And this project can change your life!"

As he said, Yi Wenren took out a scroll.

Bang! !

With a burst of white smoke, dozens of pots of irises were revealed.

This sense of impact made everyone's breathing stagnate instantly.

[Step 3, start throwing chips]

"Very good, it seems that you all know what this is."

Yi Wenren's mouth curled up: "Then, let me explain the content of this project in detail to you."

"Participants adopt a five-level three-promotion system, as the name suggests, there are five levels and three promotion stages..."

After a long time, he said the devil formula taught by Yuya Chengyan: "In other words, as long as each of you can find three downlines, you can make money, as long as you can find ten downlines, you can make money, as long as you continue to move up to become a fourth-level member, your wealth will be comparable to those nobles!"

To be a businessman and aristocrat, basic mathematical knowledge must be possessed.

After listening to Yi Wenren's formula, it was obvious that it was not a lie. If that was the case, making money would be easy.

Some smart people had guessed something, and their faces showed greed that could not be concealed.

"Hiss!"

A businessman who had a good relationship with Yi Wenren walked up, put his arm around Yi Wenren's shoulders and asked, "Are you going to sell these irises to us as commodities?!"

Yi Wenren pushed him away with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't try to get close to me. One thing is one thing. Even if we have a good relationship, the rules cannot be changed!"

He turned his head and looked at the crowd again, and said loudly: "I am fortunate to have the guidance of a noble person and was able to participate in this project. I believe this is an opportunity that can change me and you!"

"This time, we are selling irises!"

"If you want to become a first-level member, buy a pot first. If you want to develop a few downlines, you can consider it yourself!"

After speaking passionately, Yi Wenren licked his lips.

Then with a strong smile, he looked at the excited people in front of him:

"So, who of you wants to join and who wants to quit?"

………………

In a village in the Land of Waves.

Kurama Yunhai walked out of the thatched hut and shivered subconsciously.

Due to geographical factors, the temperature in the morning is still very low.

But the people in the village have been up and working very early.

They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, every day and every year.

Or, this is the state they are most satisfied with.

Kurama Yunhai looked at his subordinates and asked, "Have you counted the number of workers in this village?"

"One hundred and twenty-seven people."

Although he had expected it in his heart, Kurama Yunhai was still surprised.

"One hundred and twenty-seven people... There are only more than a thousand villagers in this village, and more than one-tenth of them are workers?"

After Kurama Yunhai came to the Land of Waves, he began to investigate and learned that the total population in this village is about 1,200 people.

Moreover, the general education level is very low, most adults know a limited number of words, and there are no schools in the village, no unified educational institutions.

Most adults have a dispensable attitude towards letting their children receive education.

This is not the Snow Country, people have no awakening consciousness.

And because the economy is relatively backward, they don't need to be literate, they just need to work, work hard, and have enough food and drink.

They can only teach their children these skills.

"Yes, it feels like the people here are really backward." The subordinate beside him also sighed.

After visiting so many villagers with Lord Yunhai, the only thought in his mind at this time is this.

"There is no way, this is their truest thought."

Kurama Yunhai sighed and said, "The economy of this country is not backward, but the people of this country are too poor. They need to work to support their families, not learn some useless knowledge."

Survival and life are two different concepts.

The food and wages of ordinary farmers and workers can only barely survive after paying taxes.

In their subconscious, only nobles will study, and farmers and workers should work to support themselves and their families.

This idea is naturally wrong in the eyes of Kurama Yunhai today.

But if we start from the actual situation, these people's ideas are correct.

Only when you have a full stomach can you "fill" your mind.

"If we can't understand their lives in depth, even if we take over the entire Wave Country, it will only hinder our progress."

Kurama Yunhai said with admiration: "This is also the reason why Lord Menma sent me to the Wave Country for practical investigation."

"It sounds very troublesome."

"Hahaha, it is indeed very troublesome."

Hearing this, Kurama Congyun laughed and said: "If the Lord wants to suppress the entire ninja world by himself, I believe it will be easier than the current method."

"It's a pity that status, power, wealth, and even strength... are just tools for the Lord to realize his ultimate ideal."

"Although I don't understand what he wants, I can see that he is also longing for something."

After following Menma for many years, Kurama Congyun's thoughts have become more and more open.

The current ninja world is still dominated by ninjas.

Whether it is nobles or ninjas, they have ignored the largest number of ordinary people.

This is a kind of arrogance in itself.

The subordinate beside him nodded and whispered: "Sometimes, the master is clearly standing in front of me, but I feel that he is standing far away."

"Don't think too much. The Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan... and our Kurama clan, which one is not completely captured by his unique charm? If it was a guy like Uchiha Madara, he would not be able to bring us to where we are now."

"No matter where he is looking, as long as we know that he is standing in front of us, that's enough."

Kurama Yunhai let out a long breath and said: "Collect the information of those workers, and those with bad records such as gambling, just remove them from the list."

"We are going to carry out the second step of the plan, turning the Land of Waves into a sharp blade for us to pierce the Land of Fire."
