259, Ban: ran away from the village but found a little black cat 73
("Oiko Uchiha doesn't want to be Neptune");
Life after that was relatively peaceful.
The man who built a reliable boat again never had the tragedy of "the boat being deserted" when he went out to sea. The little girl who stayed in the village gradually became familiar with the rest of the village.
Every morning after bidding farewell to Madara Uchiha who "goes to work", other women will come to ask her to repair fishing nets, pick up seafood, dry fish, etc. To be honest, these women who seem to not need to work at sea actually have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders.
Things are not easy at all, because in addition to these tasks, they usually have to take care of the children of their elders and handle various housework.
In the final analysis, everyone, be it a man or a woman, lives a very difficult, hard and serious life.
It was during this period that the news that "the first generation Mizukage passed away and the second generation Mizukage took over" gradually spread - and for this reason, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obi judged that this second generation Mizukage was quite skillful.
The situation should have been stabilized very quickly, so the news was spread. And because there is a precedent of the death of the first Raikage, they are experienced in handling related matters - they can come for funerals and congratulations.
Forget it, we don't welcome you.
However, compared to the shock of the "big men" in the ninja world, the civilians didn't care much about it.
"Neither the first generation nor the second generation can make us catch more fish every day." One of the fishermen said, "So, no one has anything to do with us."
The other villagers also agreed with this.
There is no doubt that this is the consensus of civilians.
No matter how the political power in the village changes, their lives will obviously not get better, at least for now, nor will they get worse.
This afternoon.
The fishermen were in high spirits when they came back.
It turned out that one of the fishermen named "Xia Sheng" caught a good tuna. Although it was definitely not as big as the one the two sent out before, it still weighed four to five hundred kilograms. At first glance, the meat was delicious and full of vitality.
This was a rare catch in recent years, so the villagers came together to watch the fun.
"It's really good." A few older fishermen said with emotion while smoking cheap cigarettes and circling the tuna in the basin. "Let's call the fish harvester later. Let me see this fish."
Eighty percent of it can be sold for about 100,000 taels to 200,000 taels."
The "Liang" he mentioned is a common unit of currency in the ninja world.
When Uchiha heard this, she was stunned for a moment, not because it was a lot of money, but because it was too little. She asked doubtfully: "I have seen fish of similar size for sale before, and it seems to cost more than two million taels...
…”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone else immediately fell silent.
After a while, someone couldn't help but muttered: "If we transport it from here to the town and sell it, we can buy more than one million taels."
"Yes, once you come back, the difference is between hundreds of thousands and one million taels, but you can really make money."
"Obviously we worked hard to catch it."
"...Okay! Don't complain about this all the time. You send it to the town to sell it. Regardless of whether you can sell it or not, even if you sell it, do you have the life to get the money back? Even if you get it back, you
Can it be saved?!"
"..."
The little girl who accidentally triggered this unpleasant conversation fell silent, because she already understood: on top of the seemingly simple life of the fishermen, there seemed to be layers of exploitation. It was not only the difficult lifestyle that made them poor, but also the
There are...more**.
Soon after.
Sure enough, someone came specifically to collect the fish. They were a few young people who were fairly neatly dressed. However, they had a strong sense of philistineness about them, and they were not easy to get along with at first glance. Their words and actions were almost indistinguishable from gangsters.
different.
Before they arrived, the Uchiha tape was pushed into the house by the women in the fishing village. The reason was that "people who come to collect fish are not very disciplined, and they like to tease women they have never seen before." It can be seen that when they meet
This kind of thing doesn't happen just once or twice.
Of course, this group of people obviously had no interest in men, so Uchiha Madara, who transformed into a "taciturn young man", stayed outside with great interest, preparing to watch.
When those young gangsters saw the huge tuna, they were immediately overjoyed——
"I haven't seen such a big fish in a year or two."
"Oh, what a good fish."
"Not bad, not bad, it seems I can make a lot of money this time."
…
The owner of the fish on the side, a young man named "Xia Sheng" couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. There was no doubt that he felt that since this group of people were so satisfied with the fish, they might be able to give them more money. However,
When these people quoted prices, he was a little dumbfounded.
"...Seventy thousand taels?" Despite his clumsy tongue, he couldn't help but defend himself, "In the past, when you harvested such a big fish, you would have given at least a hundred thousand taels, and, and you said it yourself,
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this kind of fish, so why are there so few of them?”
One of the young men raised his hand and patted Xia Sheng's face, and said with a sneer: "Do you know what 'this time and that time' means?" After he finished speaking, he looked at the latter's confused expression and said,
"Tsk" in a bored tone, "What a bumpkin! The second generation Mizukage has taken over, you know? The ninja who protects me is his bodyguard. Do you understand? The missing portion is yours.
Honor me and that lord."
Xia Sheng: "..."
The rest: "..."
Yes, the reason why this group of people is so arrogant is because the young man at the head seems to be sheltered by a ninja master from Kirigakure Village, and according to his own statement, that master has a high status and seems to be still...
Became the bodyguard of the second generation Mizukage-sama.
For this reason, once the nearby fishing villages have caught fish, they are not allowed to go to the town to sell it themselves - even if it only takes about 20 minutes to walk, they must sell it all to them, and then they will transfer it to their own homes in the town.
Sold in seafood stores on.
There is no doubt that this is a typical "monopoly of local snakes".
Based on force and the so-called background, they forced all the civilians in the nearby fishing villages to submit, then stepped on them and sucked their blood.
Because of Xia Sheng's retort, the young man was quite dissatisfied and only threw away 60,000 taels, and the remaining 10,000 taels said he "kept it with him to apologize to me."
Xia Sheng was obviously dissatisfied. He even took two steps forward, but was stopped by other villagers. One of them directly picked up the money that was thrown on the ground, for fear that some or all of it would be snatched away by those people. Facts
Go up, that group of young people seemed to really have such a plan. After seeing the man's actions, they "tsk" a few times, hesitated, but still didn't go forward to rob him. Probably, they didn't want to force him too much.
It's over.
After the group left, Xia Sheng grabbed the 60,000 taels that the villagers gave him and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
The door of the wooden house was opened, and his wife hurried over and was hugged by Xia Sheng. After a while, the two of them cried together.
Originally, they had a good discussion. With hundreds of thousands and two hundred thousand taels, they could pay off the foreign debt they owed when they got married and have not paid off so far, repair the family boat, and then use the broken boat they are currently using.
I replaced the tattered net, and then went to the pharmacy to buy some supplements that I had been interested in for a long time, to supplement my son who had been in poor health since childhood. But now, obviously...
No more.
Uchiha Madara thought: This group of people is really majestic, and he doesn't know what kind of "ninja master" they are protecting. He really wants to see it. It sounds like they are more majestic than him and Hashirama, at least
, they had food and accommodation when they were on missions, but they never asked others to make offerings without charging them money.
Coincidentally, the little girl in the room silently clenched her fists: hard, hard, fist hard!
Kyuubi, who was huddled in the corner with the three tails on his head and peeked at the audience:...Are you looking for death? This group of people.
Even if it is just a tailed beast, it still knows what kind of disgusting things the group of people just did. And based on its understanding of those two people, it will never sit idly by and ignore it.
So...
after a while.
The Uchiha boy said he was going to the town to buy some things. He held a vegetable basket in his hand and followed his "Anada" out with a smile.
The vegetable basket is a little heavy because it contains a small orange fox and a turtle.
The two of them walked and chatted——
"Brother Ban."
"Um?"
"What if that person's backer is really the bodyguard of the Nidaime Mizukage?"
"Is there a difference?"
"..."
Not really.
That's okay.
If Uchiha Madara is determined to cause trouble to someone, let alone that person is the bodyguard of the Nidaime Mizukage, even if he is the Nidaime Mizukage himself, who can stop him?
Well, Senju Hashirama may be able to do it, but the problem is that the Hokage is in Konoha at the moment and is out of reach.
And once Uchiha Madara really does it, Senju Hashirama will be extremely surprised when he hears about it, but will he still go all the way to hunt down "murderer Uchiha Madara" because of this? It doesn't exist.
, he will only seriously study "why Madara does what he does" with the feeling of "there must be a reason for Madara to do it". This is a cruel fact - even the legendary Senju Hashirama, who is great, generous, fair and just, behaves badly.
Have their own "selfishness".
That is, as long as Uchiha Madara doesn't do something that he absolutely cannot bear, he will never stand on the opposite side of the former, absolutely not.
After that, the two of them didn't waste time and went directly to find the group of arrogant young people who were preparing to form a group to drink and celebrate, and learned something from them that was quite funny but not very funny.
What comes out——
The leader, a young man who claims to have a background, is named "Tie Er". What does his so-called "backer" mean?
Two years ago, because Tie Er owed huge gambling debts that could not be repaid, he became cruel and sold his sister, who was five years older than him, who had worked hard to bring him up, directly to a flower street in a nearby town. You know,
His sister already had a fiancé at the time, and it was only because he was worried that he had not been able to get married. But obviously, he did not feel guilty about this matter, and he often went to Huajie to find his sister, coax or simply rob her of some money.
Drink and have fun.
Last year, he went to find his sister to fight against the autumn wind, but he accidentally saw the latter serving a ninja who ordered her. The ninja was wearing a forehead protector that everyone in the Water Kingdom recognized. There was no doubt that it was Kirigakure.
Village ninja.
The ninja seemed quite satisfied with his sister's service and gave her a lot of money when she left.
After Tetsuji snatched away the money, he had an idea and came up with a crooked idea - that ninja had slept with his sister anyway, so he could be considered a brother-in-law. In this case, the two of them must be somewhat related.
He is related to a ninja from Kirigakure Village, so the rest of the town should respect him a little, right?
So he told the others seriously - his sister in Flower Street has a ninja from Kirigakure Village who she likes, and that ninja is very powerful and has a bright future.
Maybe some people didn't believe it at first, but as the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", as more people said it, everyone began to believe it, and they didn't dare to disbelieve it, because no one wanted to gamble with their lives whether this was true or not.
In the end, he even wore this layer of tiger skin and became a "middleman" between the village and the town, specializing in making money from the price difference. The villagers dared not speak out, and the townspeople did not dare to care too much about him.
He became the owner of the largest seafood shop in the town, and also established a relationship with a famous fishery tycoon in the city. It can be said that his life was prosperous.
But even so, Tie Er still watched helplessly as his sister was bullied and ravaged in Flower Street.
ravage.
If you want to ask why, of course it is because as long as his sister is still in Flower Street, others will continue to believe his lies. Therefore, she must continue to stay there and sell herself.
There is no doubt that scum like Tetsuji, who has no actual lethality but can do evil, is also a corner of this era. There must be many people like him in every corner of the ninja world.
And even if just one of them falls on those civilians, it may become a cruel mountain that will overwhelm them.
The author has something to say: Don’t worry, Madara and Ozi will definitely not just watch~
