Under the guidance of the guide, Harada finally met the famous world rich man and shipping tycoon Cardo in a house on the innermost floor of the mansion.
Although this man is short in stature and has a somewhat wretched face, it has to be said that as an ordinary person, Cardo is still very capable after working hard all the way to this point.
He runs a shipping company and privately has a group of gang members as thugs who engage in various prohibited businesses. By combining shipping and smuggling, Cardo has become a famous rich man.
After possessing wealth that ordinary people could not earn in a hundred lifetimes, Cardo set his sights on power.
He knew that he could not stir up trouble in a place like the Five Great Countries, so he set his sights on the Country of Waves.
Just like Naruto saw the superior geographical location of the Land of Waves, Cardo also saw this.
In addition, the citizens of the Country of Waves actually wanted to build a cross-sea bridge, which made Cardo even more unhappy.
He relies on the shipping industry for his livelihood. If the cross-sea bridge is successfully built, wouldn't he make a lot less money?!
Those citizens of the Country of Waves may just die in poverty. They have more cards but less money!
"Boss Kado, we have already brought you." The leader said respectfully outside the door.
"How many times have I told you to call me boss!" Cardo said with some displeasure: "Bring people in."
"Yes, boss."
Shintaro Harada walked into the room and saw a man sitting upright behind a large desk.
Behind the man was a row of large bookshelves, filled with books. Harada glanced over, only to find that the books on these bookshelves were slowly gathering a layer of dust.
Pretending to be knowledgeable and too vain is what Harada labeled Kado in his heart.
He said softly: "Hello, Boss Cardo."
Harada's posture was deliberately low, and he also used the other person's favorite title.
Cardo was really happy when he heard this: "Oh, you are the wandering warrior? I can't tell, you know etiquette quite well."
After asking a few questions, Kado said directly: "Okay, I approve your joining our club (company). Yoshioka, take Harada with you!"
Yoshioka is the guide who brought Harada into this place.
When he took Harada down, he explained to him: "The work here is very easy. We are in the Country of Waves and our main responsibility is to look after the fishermen who fish all day long and prevent them from making trouble."
Harada pretended to be casual and asked: "Why are these fishermen making trouble? The club's force is so strong, how dare they!"
Yoshioka shook his head: "What else could it be for? Of course it is to build that cross-sea bridge!"
"Those fishermen have been thinking about building a bridge all day so that they can sell their dried salted fish to the mainland. It's really ridiculous. Who would be willing to buy and eat those dried salted fish?" Yoshioka said to the Land of Waves.
The citizens obviously look down upon it.
"Let's make trouble, let's make trouble. It will stop one day!" Yoshioka said disdainfully.
Thousands of miles away, Danaz, the famous bridge builder of the Land of Waves, was wading through mountains and rivers, heading towards the Leaf Village.
Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto's family.
"Finally restored to his original state!" At this time, Naruto had merged with Menma again, became his true self, and returned to Konoha.
After fusing Menma, Naruto immediately accepted his memory.
"Aomori Town is actually related to Danzo, and the most critical evidence is still in my hands." Naruto thought in his heart. Although he had obtained the evidence that Danzo was involved in buying and selling children, he could not take it out at the moment.
Not only would taking it out not have any impact on Danzo, but it would alert others and attract Danzo's attention.
After unlocking the [Rabbit Charm], Naruto felt very happy and immediately decided to go out for a meal to celebrate.
When he walked to the streets of Konoha, he saw a familiar figure.
"Ino?" He called to the girl in front of him.
Seeing Ino looking a little distracted, Naruto felt a little strange. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, what had happened to Ino?
"What's wrong with you?" he asked concerned.
"Oh, it's Naruto." Ino cheered up. "It's nothing, I just left the village to take on a C-level mission."
Naruto could tell that something was wrong with Ino's state at this time. "I also left the village to take on a C-level mission, but I didn't react as much as you. What's wrong with you? Maybe it will feel better if you tell me."
Ino followed Naruto for a few steps and suddenly said: "Naruto-kun, if you accidentally killed someone during the mission, what would you think?"
Although this was a question, it was obviously talking about Ino herself.
"Me." Naruto looked up at the sky: "I'm afraid I don't have any ideas. After all, the profession of ninja is to fight with life as a bet."
When he and Ino were the same age, they were still in school and receiving education in their previous life; but in this ninja world, they were already at the age where they graduated and went to war.
It is normal for a twelve-year-old girl to have mood swings after killing her first enemy in a mission.
He enlightened Ino: "Don't feel too worried or too nervous. You did nothing wrong. This is what the mission requires you to do, and it has nothing to do with your original intention."
"I know this sounds like a cover-up. But ninjas are just tools, and their actions have nothing to do with good or evil. If you throw an egg at a stone and the egg breaks, is the stone wrong? If you think about it this way, isn't it so?
Feeling uncomfortable?"
Naruto's wonderful metaphor made Ino laugh. She couldn't help but hit Naruto: "Naruto-kun, I didn't expect you to talk so much! I never noticed this in you before when I was in the ninja school!"
"If I relay what you said to my father, he will definitely scold me."
"Just look at it, Ino." Naruto put his hands on the back of his head: "At least you still have a father who will criticize you."
"Sorry, that's not what I am..." Ino knew she had said something wrong and hurriedly tried to make amends.
Naruto's face was filled with a smile, and he didn't seem to be in any discomfort: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
"By the way, in order to celebrate the success of your first C-level mission and my first, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen."
"Well, okay." Ino thought for a moment and agreed.
The two of them walked towards the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, with long shadows cast behind them under the sunlight.
Konoha, Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
"Uncle Tachibana! Here are two large bowls of tonkotsu ramen!" Naruto said loudly as soon as he sat down at the ramen shop.
The owner of the ramen shop, Ichiraku Tate, was still smiling: "Hey, it's Naruto. Are you bringing friends over for dinner? This is the first time."
"Ah, to celebrate the success of the first C-level mission, I brought her to eat with me."
A familiar voice reached Haruno Sakura's ears, and following the direction of the sound, Sakura saw a scene that she never dared to imagine: Naruto and Ino were actually sitting together eating ramen, talking and laughing!
However, female intuition allowed Sakura to notice the second spying gaze present.
Looking at the girl in white with a ninja forehead protector hanging around her neck and hiding behind a telephone pole, Sakura read out her name: "Hinata?"
