Vol V Chapter 36
The dark side of the leaves
Indeed, under normal circumstances, Muye was the world's largest military group. Moreover, this place was located in the center of Muye, so the safety factor was naturally ridiculously high. Normally, if a thief sneaked in, they would be locked by the barrier before they could step through the wooden leaf door. Even if the password of the barrier was unlocked, after sneaking into the wooden leaf, they would still have to be wary of the Dark Group from all directions.
However, the past few days were slightly different. In just a few days, it would be the time for Mu Ye to hold the Chuunin exam. Recently, Muye had invited many guests from all over the world to enter.
As a national organization, Princess Asuna of the Daimyo Prefecture was one of them. There were also some influential nobles in the upper echelons of the Fire Country. However, after that, there were even more wealthy merchants from all over the world.
......
These wealthy merchants controlled the economic lifeline of a country. In fact, they were also an important force supporting Muye. Ninjas did not care about production. Although this sentence was not absolute, it was also well-founded. The missions that Ninjas accepted alone could not support the massive operations of Muye. The cultivation of ninjas and the development of ninjutsu required a lot of manpower and resources. 30% of the funds were allocated by the Daming Prefecture, which was a government agency. Less than 20% was the economic expenditure of Muye itself. However, in fact, more than half of the economic needs came from the support of these wealthy merchants. In return, Mu Ye had to act as a security guard for the rich merchant. It was obvious that wealthy merchants, whether it was to support Muye's business tax or large-scale missions, occupied a large share. To Muye, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was his bread and butter.
......
" Tsk, tsk, tsk, little girl, you don't look old, but your body is very mature." In front of a small restaurant, a group of guys with big bellies and fat brains surrounded a young female ninja.
The female ninja looked around helplessly, as if she was asking for everyone's help. In terms of martial strength, these seemingly tall and strong subordinates were not much of a threat to the ninjas. Although the female ninja before him was an ordinary ninja, she did not have any pressure dealing with these ordinary people.
However, how could these people, who had successfully experienced business and gained wealth in the war-torn Ninja Realm, not think of it? On the contrary, they often dealt with ninjas during their caravan missions, so they knew very well that the ninjas dominated this aristocratic family. However, they were so unscrupulous now that they did not put the ninjas in their eyes at all! It was because they were certain that as Leaf Ninjas, they did not dare to resist at all.
The female ninja gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with helplessness. Before this, Lord Naruto had personally ordered that during the Chuunin exam, Koba Ninjas were forbidden from having conflicts with respected foreign guests. As a ninja, she had to carry out orders unconditionally. Therefore, she did not dare to resist the evil deeds of the rich businessman in front of her.
As an ordinary merchant, he was able to bully Muye's ninjas. How strange was this? However, this illogical phenomenon was an ironclad fact. As for Koba, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, as a Ninja Village, whether it was the development of ninjutsu or the construction of the village, they could not do without the support of their parents. Therefore, it was not easy for Muye's ninjas to deal with these wealthy merchants. This was also the reason why the surrounding people dared not speak up.
"This... This was the Kiba Shinobu Village. Please don't panic." The female ninja tried to force herself to remain calm, but her trembling words seemed very weak.
"Shut up! Have you forgotten who sent carts of supplies to Muye every year and turned them into your feces? Ah?" Drunken eyes and drowsy eyes, they seemed to have drunk too much. In his line of sight, the young and delicate female ninja in front of him made them, who were used to being arrogant, feel a little perverted!
However, the scene in front of them was witnessed by Asuna and Hinata who happened to pass by!
Asuna had a straightforward personality and had always abhorred evil. How could she tolerate such a thing that happened right under her nose? However, what made her even angrier was that none of the Koba Ninjas around her were willing to lend a helping hand when the female ninja asked for help!
"Stop! You guys!" He couldn't understand why, as close companions of the same village, he would stand by and watch at this time. However, Asuna wouldn't allow such an unreasonable thing to happen.
"Where did this girl come from? hmm. It doesn't seem like it." Hearing the angry shouts coming from behind, the wealthy merchants who had been walking around immediately turned around and were about to curse mercilessly. However, when their gazes fell on Asuna, they could not help but be stunned at first, and then their eyes turned green.
She had a head of soft and unique light chestnut-colored long hair. She was a 14 or 15-year-old girl. Because she had been practicing the sword for a long time, her body was tall and flexible. Her skin was fair, and her growth was quite impressive.
Because she was wearing ordinary private clothes, the wealthy merchants did not recognize Asuna.
However, their slightly red eyes were now filled with burning desire. They looked at Asuna's body wantonly with fiery eyes and then laughed lewdly." Hey, little girl, are you interested in playing with me? If I'm happy, I'll reward you with a few hundred thousand yuan. It's better than you risking your life to do those dangerous missions, right?”
