Merchant ships traveled at sea for days before reaching the land of water.
The land of water is far from the mainland and faces the sea on all sides. It is an island country composed of various islands.
Due to its location at sea, there is little communication with the outside world, and even exchanges with other countries basically rely on maritime trade.
The main income of the water country is also through maritime trade, because it faces the sea and is rich in various fish, and many merchants exchange other daily necessities for fish.
There are at least dozens of merchant ships like Jiraiya's docking a day.
Because there were too many ships coming and going, the ninjas who checked were not too serious, and they let them go after a glance.
When the merchant ships entered the territory of the Land of Water, Yamanaka Ryo could see the country shrouded in dense fog.
The ship was docked at the port, and there were fifty or sixty ships docked around, and the shore was also extraordinarily lively.
The shouting and hawking came one after another, and it was hard to imagine that this was in the war years.
Zilai also took a photo of Yamanaka Yuan, who immediately pretended to be a rich man, supported his big belly, and swaggered behind him and got off the boat.
As soon as he got off the boat, a few people dressed up in Wu Ninja gathered around, and Zilai also winked at Shan Zhongyuan, motioning him not to move.
After a few ninjas came up, they behaved very politely, and Jirai also chatted with them at will. After a few ninjas confirmed that Jirai was also a local tyrant, they became more respectful.
After a few ninjas left, Jiraiya said to Yamanaka Ryo: "Most of the ninjas patrolling here are geunin, and these geunin have been specially instructed by the daimyo to treat businessmen with courtesy."
"Why is this? When businessmen are rich, shouldn't they be cautious when facing ninjas?" Yamanaka Ryo was a little puzzled.
"Idiot, these merchants are the most important source of income for the land of water. In other words, merchants are their parents. If the ninja offends these merchants because of their bad attitude, it will be a huge loss for the land of water. "
After listening to Jiraiya's explanation, Yamanaka Ryo also understood a little. The method of the country of water is to create a feeling that the rich are the uncles, and even ninjas can call and drink.
Civilians instructing ninjas, such a strong gap is indeed satisfying.
The purpose of the two of them's trip was to collect information about the Mist Ninja Village, and sneaking into the Mist Ninja Village was definitely the best and most direct way.
However, the village is heavily guarded. Just now, Yamanaka Ryo noticed that there is a layer of barrier around the village.
What Yamanaka Ryo noticed, as a veteran of intelligence gathering, of course Jiraiya also noticed, but Jirai was not in a hurry, and wandered around with Yamanaka Ryo.
After going around for a long time, Zilai also seemed to have gained something, and then he took Yamanaka Ryo to the largest hotel outside the village of Wujin.
Originally, Yamanaka Ryo thought that Jiraiya's way of obtaining information was also a place where people like hotels and inns talk a lot.
But he didn't expect that as soon as the two sat down, Zilai ordered a full table of delicious food.
"That's too much!" Yamanaka Ryo said, looking at the dishes on the table.
"What do you know, just shut up and eat, and someone will take us to Wu Nin Village soon!" Zilai also looked at Yamanaka Ryo with contempt.
Yamanaka Ryo was a little confused, but seeing Jirai's self-confidence, he didn't ask any more questions, but ate with chopsticks obediently.
The most expensive dishes on the menu are the most expensive dishes on the menu, and the land of water is rich in seafood, and these dishes are all authentic seafood.
Yamanaka Yuan was a northerner in his previous life, and he is in Konoha again in this life. He has eaten a lot of fish and shrimp, but he has never eaten this seafood feast since he was reincarnated in Konoha.
Jiraiya also let him eat, of course Yamanaka Ryo would not be polite.
There are too many things ordered by Jai Lai, and they are too expensive to alarm the hotel owner. This kind of customer is rare.
To be able to open such a large hotel in the periphery of Wunin Village, the hotel owner is certainly not an ordinary person.
The owner of the hotel is actually a famous person in the country of water, who is specially responsible for receiving some distinguished guests. It is rare for someone like Jiraiya to make such a big shot.
So the hotel owner went upstairs in person, intending to greet the "local tyrant" Jiraiya.
"Koukou—" Yamanaka Ryo was stunned for a moment, and Jirai also motioned him to continue, and then said, "Please come in."
The hotel owner pushed open the door and came in. He glanced in surprise at Yamanaka Yuan, who was reincarnated by a starving ghost, and then looked at Jiraiya, who was sitting opposite Yamanaka Yuan, and his eyes lit up.
At this time, Jiraiya saw Yamanaka Ryo's expression full of disdain, as if he had never seen the world before. It was this look that made the hotel owner sure that Jirai was not an ordinary person.
"Hello, my lord! This is the owner of this hotel, Yamada Changjing." The hotel owner greeted Jiraiya on his own initiative.
Zilai also glanced at him, squeezed out a smile, and said lightly: "Boss Yamada, hello, my name is Sanzhou."
"It turned out to be Lord Sanzhou. I don't know where you come from, Lord?" the hotel owner then asked.
"I'm from the country of iron, this guy is from the country of rain."
Hearing that Jirai also claimed to be from the Land of Iron, Yamada Nagayo sighed in relief. A country that is not at war with the Land of Water may really be able to make a big deal. Next, it is only necessary to determine whether this person is from the Land of Iron or not. country.
The two continued to chat, from the geographical location of the Iron Country, to the customs, and from the customs to the military and politics.
Everything Jiraiya said had nothing to do with what Yamada Changjing knew. Yamada Changjing rolled his eyes and asked the last question.
"Mifune-sama, it is said that in the Second Ninja World War, the Iron Country General Mifune-sama once defeated Sanshoyu Hanzo. I don't know if this is true..."
"Crack!" Jiraiya pretended to be furious, stood up and said, "I don't know where you heard the rumors, for samurai, reputation is as important as life. Mifune-sama lost to He defeated Sanjiaoyu Hanzo, and he never said that he defeated Sanjiaoyu Hanzo, please don’t listen to the rumors and insult the reputation of Mitsuwan-sama.”
Yamada Changjing thought that Jiraiya was really angry, and quickly persuaded him: "I'm sorry, Mishu-sama, I also hear it, don't be angry."
Seeing Jiraiya's reaction so understanding, Yamada Changkyo completely believed that the man in front of him was a businessman from the Land of Iron.
After finally appeasing the "furious" Jiraiya, Yamada Changjing hurriedly asked what Jiraiya wanted to buy during his trip.
Jirai didn't hesitate to say that the purpose of his trip was to buy rare metals for making beheading swords.
Yamada Changjing was stunned for a moment. He knew that the customer in front of him was a big customer, but he didn't expect that this customer was not an ordinary big customer.
Yamada Changjing felt that he was about to develop. He knew the metal for forging beheading swords, and Wu Ninja Village still had some reserves, and he also wanted to sell a small piece or two for money.
Thinking of this, Yamada Changjing hurriedly said: "Master Sanzhou, you have come to the right place today. I can introduce you to help you facilitate this transaction, but this money..."
Jiraiya pretended to be dubious and looked at Yamada Changkyo for a long time. Then he took out a few small bags with some hesitation, and opened the smallest one to Yamada Changkyo to take a look.
Yamada Changjing has seen many treasures, and at a glance, he can see that the things in Jiraiya's bag are of great value.
"After the transaction is completed, this thing is yours!" Jiraiya pretended to be in pain.
When Yamada Changjing heard this sentence, his face flushed with excitement, and then he immediately said that he would rest assured that the business would be successful.
