Chapter 470
A three-point reduction means that the caravan can make more money, and the Third Kazekage can reduce the tax rate of Sand Village by three points.
But it is not the case for other places, because he cannot make decisions for the daimyo.
Therefore, the tax rates in other places remain unchanged.
Since it remains unchanged, why not go straight to Sand Village?
No one will go against money.
So after an emergency meeting within the caravan, the caravan's plan was directly abandoned, and the first target became Sand Village.
In the carriage, Ye Cang hesitated to speak, with a tangled face:
"I didn't expect that Lord Kazekage valued you so much that he was willing to reduce the tax rate of the caravan by three points."
In fact, she didn't want to go to Sand Village because she didn't know how to face those familiar people in the village.
But the Third Kazekage made an invitation, and Jingyi couldn't refuse it.
How about staying in the hotel for a few days?
"Why think about these things? Although the positions and camps are different, those who are willing to be close to you will still be your friends. Don't forget that Konoha and Sand Village are allies. At least on the surface, the two sides are not enemies. As for those who think you are a traitor, why bother about their opinions."
Knowing that Ye Cang was tangled in her heart, Jingyi could only speak to comfort her, hoping that she would keep digging into a dead end.
The change of camp is something that cannot be changed. In this case, why bother to care about some people's opinions.
When you arrive at Sand Village, if you want to rest, rest, if you want to meet friends, meet friends. If the other party does not recognize you, just clap your hands and forget it.
You say you don't want to, but you don't want to face it.
But after the caravan entered the Sand Village, Ye Cang ran away directly.
She wanted to meet her former teammates and friends. As for the result.........
Ye Cang could no longer care.
Coincidentally, Ye Cang's former teammates were all in the village, and no one died in the war. When Ye Cang appeared in front of them, they were all stunned.
Some showed surprise, while others were confused, wondering why Ye Cang appeared in the village.
Didn't she defect to Konoha?
Jingyi came as promised, and the third generation of Kazekage personally came out to receive him.
"This is........."
Beside the third generation of Kazekage stood a little boy who was about the same age as Xiao Huangmao, with a head of red hair.
The third generation of Kazekage was a serious person, and it was rare to see emotions on his face.
Seeing Jingyi asking, the third generation of Kazekage took the initiative to introduce: "This is Scorpion, the grandson of Chiyo, his parents were in the war..."
The third generation of Kazekage paused here and did not continue.
Scorpion, who was curiously looking at Jingyi just now, lowered his head when he heard this.
It seems that the relationship between the third generation of Kazekage and Scorpion is not bad.
That's right. If the relationship is not in place, it would be almost impossible for Scorpion to poison the Third Kazekage to death.
It is precisely because of this trust that the Third Kazekage fell into the trap without knowing it.
After taking a deep look at the other party, Jingyi joked: "I heard that he is very talented in making puppets?"
The expressionless Third Kazekage looked at Scorpion beside him, and there was a bit of relief in his eyes.
This shows that he is optimistic about Scorpion's future.
"Very good, about the same age as my disciple Namikaze Minato. I will introduce you to him if I have a chance."
"Disciple?"
Scorpion, who was lowering his head, raised his head curiously. For Jingyi, there was no need for the Third Kazekage to introduce him. Scorpion was also very clear about all his intelligence information and had studied it in depth.
In addition, the Third Kazekage and Grandma Chiyo often said how strong and terrifying Jingyi was. Unknowingly, it left a deep impression on Scorpion.
Adhering to the principle that the teacher is strong, the disciple will not be very bad, Scorpion thought to himself: Is that person named Namikaze Minato very talented?
The third generation Kazekage understood that Scorpion was sitting next to him. After Scorpion sat down obediently, he asked:
"Is it about the exchange of puppets? If so, Scorpion should be very happy."
Since his parents passed away, and Chiyo has been busy all the time, he has not had much time to accompany his grandson. Scorpion, who suffered a heavy blow, seems a little introverted.
Chiyo is worried that his grandson will have personality problems, and the third generation Kazekage is afraid that the village's genius will go astray. Both hope that Scorpion can interact more with his peers, but unfortunately, few of his peers in the village can catch Scorpion's eye.
"Exchange of puppets?"
Jingyi paused for a moment when he picked up the teacup, and then shook his head:
"That may disappoint Master Kazekage. My disciple does not know puppetry."
Third generation Kazekage: "???"
Scorpion was also surprised.
The teacher's puppet is so strong, but the disciple does not know puppetry?
"His physical skills are very strong." Jingyi smiled and praised the disciple a few words.
PuppetPuppetry?
Does the little yellow-haired boy need this?
No, he only needs to lay a good foundation and learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and then he can fly into the sky. When he is almost flying, he can learn the fairy technique and fly again.
Therefore, there is no need to consider puppetry at all.
Soon, some special foods of the Sand Village were placed on the table.
In order to entertain Jingyi, the third generation of Kazekage still put in a lot of effort.
While eating, the two talked about the war, and Scorpion listened quietly, his big brown eyes always lingering on Jingyi.
"The offensive of the Rock Village is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that Ohnoki really wants to win this war."
Speaking of Ohnoki, the third generation of Kazekage has a complicated heart, because he feels that Ohnoki at this time is very similar to him in previous years.
Launching a war with all his might, and confidently believing that he can win.
As a result, reality shattered the dream and pushed the village into the quagmire of war.
Although the strength of the Rock Village is stronger than the Sand Village, the Cloud Village is not an easy character to bully. If things go wrong, Ohnoki will suffer a lot.
Picking up a piece of beef and putting it into his mouth, Jingyi took over the conversation: "It has to be strong. The Rock Village at this time is just like the Sand Village before. It can't be held back. Sorry, senior, I don't have any other meaning, it's just a metaphor."
"I know." The Third Kazekage nodded, indicating that he would not think too much.
Because Jingyi said the truth.
The Sand Village launched a war, but in the end it was found that the village could not be held back.
The Sand Village could not be held back, and the Rock Village was the same.
Villages with poor land, lack of resources, and poor economy have this common problem, not to mention that the Rock Village is an extremely explosive village, and most of the family assets are used to train ninjas.
The result of this is that the military strength has increased, but the economy and other aspects are very poor.
It can't be delayed. With the Sand Village as a precedent, Ohnoki dare not delay. From the frequent and fierce offensives in the Thunder Country battlefield, it can be seen that Ohnoki hopes to defeat the Cloud Village with a strong attitude and does not intend to fight a long-term tug-of-war with the Cloud Village.
The Cloud Village dares to fight and can fight, but the Rock Village can't.
Even if the Cloud Village still provides material support to Konoha and the Sand Village, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The result of competing in logistics and tug-of-war is that the Rock Village will become the second Sand Village.
The more you fight, the poorer you will be. The longer it takes, the more you can't bear it.
"But the war in the Water Country is more interesting. Yagura, the fourth generation Mizukage, should be having a headache at this time."
