Under the shade of the sun-shading trees, Shiraishi found the Xuan Yuans led by Insect Man.

"Looking at the way you have returned without success, it seems that Sugi no Mura has indeed been wiped out."

"Yes, Master Shiraishi."

The insect man tells the truth.

Although this was due to the incompetence of the Xuan Yuans, they did not expect that the Raikage of Cloud Hidden Village would retaliate against Shanno Village so decisively, leaving them with no time to react.

This is why this bounty mission was interrupted.

But failure is failure, so Bug Man will not look for excuses to make excuses.

After all, it is impossible to guarantee a 100% mission completion rate for the Xuan Yuanzhong who are hanging around in the underground black market.

Even for the Immortal Cape, the mission completion rate in the underground black market was only over 90% in the past. Now the mission completion rate of the Xuan Yuanzhong also fluctuates around this value.

"Also, there is one more thing worth noting."

The insect man remembered something and said.

"What?"

"The big shots behind the underground black market platform, as well as the bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive, are very dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Ghosts' approach to eliminate the black market platform. Some of the powerful bounty hunters may be instigated by the big shots behind the scenes and take risks.

, launched an assassination operation against Lord Shiraishi as a deterrent."

After all, the Kingdom of Ghosts not only eliminated its own domestic black market platform, but also suffered a devastating blow to the black market platforms of surrounding small countries.

Doing so will undoubtedly shrink the underground black market trading market and harm the interests of the black market platform.

The interests of the black market platform will also have an adverse impact on the income of bounty hunters who rely on the platform to survive.

Although the black market platform has not yet done so, if the Kingdom of Ghosts continues to expand its influence and eliminate the underground black market platform, it will inevitably arouse the black market's revenge and anger those lawless bounty hunters.

At the same time, it will also make the big businessmen and officials behind the black market platform dissatisfied.

This means that once the enemies of big businessmen and officials escape into the protected area of ​​the Ghost Country's black market combat platform, they will not be able to carry out assassinations.

Doing so will undoubtedly offend many people directly or indirectly.

"This kind of thing has been anticipated for a long time. You just have to do your job well in the underground black market. When necessary, you can act as an internal agent and annihilate the black market forces in reverse."

Shiraishi was not surprised.

When he instructs the military to eliminate the black market platforms near the Land of Ghosts, it is natural that he will be retaliated by the black market platforms.

According to the character of those big businessmen and officials who control the black market platform, they will not remain indifferent to this.

The apparent threat to the Kingdom of Ghosts has been removed, so it would be a good choice to secretly train troops with these unscrupulous little ghosts.

Anyway, in his conception, the underground black market, a platform full of dark transactions, was originally a key target and should not remain in the world.

With the Xuan Yuanzhong as internal agents, they are enough to grasp the trends of the underground black market at the first time.

"yes!"

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of Chong Man and others.

Over the years, the five of them have not only completed bounty missions in the underground black market, but have also secretly explored the intricacies behind the underground black market. They have constantly traveled to various places to find out the strongholds in each country.

At the same time, secretly hunt down all those bounty hunters, businessmen, and officials who want to harm the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After all, the rapid development and astonishing wealth of the Ghost Country have already attracted many people to covet it.

The war between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the underground black market has already begun.

The path that the Kingdom of Ghosts takes is destined to touch the interests of most of the vested interests and knock them from the sky to dust.

"Go, the rest of the underground black market troops, a total of 132 people, will also start hunting operations with you."

Shiraishi waved his hand.

Insect Man and the other five people nodded, and with a whoosh, they used the teleportation technique and disappeared from where they were.

"It seems that the underground black market is no longer a concern now."

Thunder Maru stood on Shiraishi's shoulder and said.

"This kind of chaotic black market platform does not pose a threat to begin with. Not only are there a shortage of experts, but they are also a group of desperadoes who sell their lives for money. When faced with a real death threat, they are more willing to risk their lives than anyone else.

Death. The fight with them is just a small fight."

"That's right. The power of the black market is too dispersed. If it could be concentrated, it might be a little tricky."

But this is impossible.

There are too many big businessmen and officials behind the black market, and their power is divided into dozens or hundreds of shares. The secret competition between the top Hokage and the root of Konoha has made Konoha miserable. The power is dispersed into dozens or hundreds of underground black markets, but

One can imagine how difficult it would be to integrate them.

Baishi did not reply, but walked out of the cave, came to a clearing in the woods, and said:

"Let's separate here. You can now go to the Country of Waves to assist in the operation. I can return alone, and you don't need to follow me."

"Yes, then, I will take my leave first, father."

Lei Mingwan nodded slightly, jumped down from Shiraishi's shoulder, ran with his limbs quickly, and disappeared into the dense forest into a blue thunder light.

Watching Thunder Pill go away, Shiraishi retracted his gaze and hurried back towards the Kingdom of Demons.

◎

At night.

"Well, Tsunade-sama, we have to be on the road tomorrow. It's best not to drink too much at night...and drinking too much wine is not good for your health."

Shizune sat aside, looking at Tsunade who kept drinking, causing her face to turn red, and couldn't help but give an admonishment.

"You're really verbose, Shizune. I'm a medical ninja. Of course I know my body well. It'll be fine."

Ignoring Shizune's advice, Tsunade picked up the wine bottle and took a sip into her mouth, making Shizune sigh again and again.

Just because you are a medical ninja, you shouldn't indulge yourself like this.

Just when Shizune was about to admonish again, a voice suddenly reached her and Tsunade's ears:

"You are still here drinking alone late at night. Have you encountered something troublesome, Tsunade?"

Shizune raised her head and looked at the person, quite surprised.

"Jiraiya-sama?"

The visitor was none other than Jiraiya. He was standing in front of the wine table, teasing with a smile on his face.

Tsunade also woke up from her drunkenness, but the skin on her face was still red. She squinted her eyes and said, "Today, the troubles are really happening one after another. Did you deliberately discuss them?"

Tsunade's words sounded a bit baffling to Jiraiya, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Sitting opposite Tsunade, he smiled at Tsunade and said, "Don't say that. You left the village in a hurry before and I didn't have time to have a drink with you. I just make up for it today."

Shizune looked at Jiraiya slightly dissatisfied.

I almost forgot that Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, is also an alcoholic, and he is a very poor alcoholic.

Not only that, he is also a hungry ghost in lust.

But Orochimaru, the only one who did not follow the three taboos of ninja, was an S-level dangerous rebellious ninja who betrayed the village.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If nothing happens, get out. I don't have time to listen to you beating around the bush here."

Tsunade was very disrespectful to Jiraiya and said rudely.

Jiraiya was embarrassed for a moment, but he soon calmed down and said, "Actually, I came to you not only because of my personal wishes, but also because of Sarutobi-sensei's wishes."

"Pick up the key points."

Tsunade's voice deepened.

"Sarutobi-sensei and I both hope that you will return to assume the position of the Fifth Hokage."

Seeing Tsunade being so direct, Jiraiya didn't want to ask for help first and tell him his purpose directly.

"What's the reason?"

"You know my personality. I am too free-spirited and not suitable for managing a village. Moreover, Sarutobi-sensei is already old, and now something like this has happened to the Uchiha clan, plus the Kingdom of Demons... so

The current international environment is very unfavorable to Konoha. Only you, as the granddaughter of the first Hokage, can go back and turn the tide."

"And then become a puppet like Minato?"

Tsunade held the bottle of wine that she had finished drinking, feeling a little restless.

"Sarutobi-sensei was also worried about the village at the beginning... Moreover, Minato has passed away, so let's not talk about the past anymore."

Speaking of this, Jiraiya also showed a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"That kind of nonsense is just to deceive an idiot like you who is easily moved by himself. Don't tell me that Uchiha's affairs have nothing to do with the higher-ups."

Tsunade sneered.

"Because of this, we need you to return to power. With your prestige, you are enough to become the fifth generation Hokage. To be honest, the current Sarutobi-sensei is already powerless to deal with the roots. As far as I know, the roots have recently been

We are conducting some taboo experiments, which may be related to tailed beasts."
