"Is this the land of ghosts?"

In Tsunade's impression, the Demon Country is just a neutral country located in a secluded place in the ninja world. Its territory is less than the previous ones but more than the lower ones. Among the small countries, the territory is considered to be above average.

But because it is a neutral country, this is one of the few pure paradises in the ninja world.

In Konoha's records, it has a similar meaning.

Peaceful, but I didn't have much presence in the ninja world before.

The difference from other countries in the ninja world is that this is a country without a daimyo.

The daimyo and aristocratic system existed thousands of years ago and is still followed today.

A country like Demon Country, which has no daimyo jurisdiction, can be said to be unique in the ninja world.

And the root of all this lies in the past generations of shrine maidens in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

According to legend, every witch leader in the Kingdom of Ghosts has the mysterious power to suppress monsters and predict the future.

Monster? In Tsunade's opinion, it might be something similar to a tailed beast.

After all, tailed beasts are also called monsters by the world.

The monsters in the Demon Country must be similar to tailed beasts.

The so-called suppressing of monsters by the miko of the Demon Country should be to seal the monsters in the body and become a jinchuriki-like sealing method.

However, after arriving in the land of the Demon Country, Tsunade realized that the records of the Demon Country in Konoha should be completely updated.

There are roads extending in all directions, and there is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going.

Even civilians walking on the road can wear bright and clean clothes.

This is naturally nothing in Konoha, but looking at the entire Fire Country, most of the civilians are wearing coarse cloth, with sallow complexions, very heavy taxes, and most of their faces are lifeless and lifeless. And once a certain place becomes rich, it will

Being attacked by bandits, even if people keep coming to Konoha to entrust tasks, the task of exterminating bandits can happen thirty to fifty times a year in Konoha.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is different. The towns and villages here are well planned, with numerous shops, residential buildings and commercial areas arranged neatly, giving people a pleasant feeling.

The most important thing is that every town and town has security personnel, armed with sophisticated weapons, physically strong and energetic. They have obviously undergone military training and are not a random security organization.

There is no shortage of important institutions that are beneficial to people's livelihood, such as schools and medical care.

It cannot compare with Konoha in terms of resources, but the integrity of the organization seems to be no worse than Konoha.

But this is just a town, not a city in the Kingdom of Ghosts, let alone a capital city.

This was true even in towns and cities. Tsunade couldn't imagine what it would be like in those more affluent cities.

"Tsunade-sama, the food here is delicious. Do you want me to buy some more to take with me? It's still a long way to Aster City."

Shizune, who was following Tsunade, took the takoyaki she bought from the roadside and ate it beautifully.

Shizune is already a young girl with a long-lasting appearance. She has followed Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu over the years. It can be said that she has learned the true inheritance of Tsunade. Among the many medical ninjas in Konoha, few can surpass her.

This time Tsunade went out to Konoha for 'business', and she was the only one accompanying her.

Originally, Minato wanted to send two more guards to follow him, but Tsunade refused.

"Just eat it yourself."

Tsunade's focus is not on the delicious snacks and gorgeous and luxurious products of the Demon Country.

Her original purpose was to ask the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts about the prophecy.

In addition, I want to visit Shionhua Pharmaceutical Company in the Kingdom of Demons, hoping to verify my knowledge of medical ninjutsu, or in other words, I hope that the Kingdom of Demons can further establish a cooperative relationship with Konoha in this regard.

This desire became even stronger after coming to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

So much so that there was a serious look in his eyes.

This country is... strange and powerful.

But where exactly is the strange thing, and what is the essential difference compared to the Land of Fire, Tsunade couldn't figure it out for a while.

It can only be said that a country without a famous name is just so unique.

"Is there something on your mind, Tsunade-sama?"

Silence slows down the movement of eating.

"No, I'm just surprised that the system here is so perfect."

"Really? Isn't this normal? Konoha is more prosperous than here."

Shizune didn't think there was anything strange.

Although this town is nice, it is still far inferior to Konoha.

Both in terms of size and population, it is far less prosperous than Konoha.

Tsunade was slightly speechless and smiled bitterly.

She has kept Shizune with her for these years, and has never gone out on several missions. She only focused on teaching her medical ninjutsu, but forgot the most important social practice.

Comparing Konoha, one of the most prosperous villages in the Fire Country, with an unknown town in the Oni Country, Konoha has already lost.

"How about comparing it with the towns in the Fire Country?"

"Well……"

Shizune was not an idiot and quickly thought of the key.

The prosperous areas of the Fire Country are limited to a few places, and Muya is just one of them.

Along the way in the Kingdom of Ghosts, no bandits were rampant in any area. Occasionally there would be chaos on the streets, but security personnel would soon come to stop them and crush the offenders away.

"Remember when we entered the Kingdom of Ghosts?"

"Remember."

Shizune nodded.

All entrances to the Kingdom of Ghosts are strictly controlled by soldiers.

Conduct extremely stringent inspections of people coming and going.

If you don’t have clean identification, you will be blocked and unable to pass.

She and Tsunade also went through a series of strict checks before being allowed to enter, and were also given two short-term residence permits, which were valid for one month.

If you stay for more than a month, you will be 'asked' to leave the country.

If you want to continue to stay in the Land of Ghosts, you must go to the corresponding official agency to apply for a long-term residence permit.

If you enter illegally or do not leave after the expiration date, specialized personnel will come and invite you to tea.

Residence, entry and exit are strictly controlled.

This also means that there will be no unidentified people in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

A wanted defector ninja cannot survive in such a country.

"Let's go."

"oh."

Not knowing what Tsunade was thinking, Shizune followed at a trot while holding a lot of snacks and snacks.

◎

It took half a day to arrive at Ziyuan City by carriage.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Demons, it is naturally more prosperous and majestic than the towns Tsunade encountered on her way.

The entire city's planning, buildings and greening are arranged in an orderly manner without any clutter, and it looks clear at a glance.

Different from Tsunade's focus, Shizune was completely attracted by the food on the roadside and the tall and neat buildings, and was dazzled by them.

Tsunade took a deep breath.

I kind of underestimate this country.

No, it should be said that all countries underestimate the country of ghosts.

Tsunade has never been to the Kingdom of Demons before, and her understanding of the Kingdom of Demons is limited to what is in books and some fragmentary information obtained in recent years.

With the rise of Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company, people's impression of the Kingdom of Ghosts is no longer limited to the word witch, but also has a developed pharmaceutical industry.

But now, it's not just that.

In other aspects of development, the Kingdom of Ghosts is not far behind, as evidenced by the large businessmen coming and going.

Due to some personal reasons, Tsunade has close contacts with businessmen from all over the world. Many stores in Ziyuan City are marked with the names of large international companies. Behind these companies are those well-known big businessmen who control them behind the scenes.

Businessmen are only interested in profit. If they can't get any real benefits in the country of ghosts, it will be extremely difficult for them to stay in the country of ghosts.

Now they are gathered in the Kingdom of Ghosts for only one reason. The Kingdom of Ghosts can bring them huge benefits, which makes them have to come here to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Therefore, Tsunade would not be surprised if one day the Kingdom of Demons surpasses the Kingdom of Fire economically.

Perhaps, the GDP of the Kingdom of Ghosts in recent years has been very close to that of the Kingdom of Fire.

With the help of the Third Ninja War, Shionka Pharmaceutical Company expanded its branches aggressively, and its brand became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It collected a large amount of funds from various countries in the Ninja World. Even Konoha, which had a relatively complete medical structure, became
