Chapter 335 A Passerby Who Died a Violent Death in the Naruto World (10)

After arriving at Zina's house, the group first settled the two unconscious people in, then ate something and went to sleep. Everyone was exhausted after a long day, so they decided to talk about it tomorrow.

Jiang Yue woke up early the next day. She still had this problem of not being able to sleep well at other people's houses. She went out for a walk to stretch her body, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was around to take out her fishing rod and cast it a couple of times. The fishing here was still pretty good, and she caught two fish in no time. It looked like she would be able to eat fish in the morning.

"Kakashi-sensei is awake!"

Hearing the shouts, Jiang Yue put away her fishing rod and went inside. There, she found Kakashi seriously analyzing why Zabuza hadn't died. Jiang Yue couldn't tell if he had just figured it out or was pretending not to know. But that was none of her business. After all, she was just a random passerby, and he didn't expect her to go after Zabuza.

"Well, let's eat first. Even if Zabuza isn't dead, it will take some time before he attacks again. Isn't he injured too?"

The others had no choice. After dinner, Kakashi took the three kids to train, while Jiang Yue and the awakened shop manager explored the area to see what kinds of seafood were available and what the prices were. They also considered what kind of plan to take: whether to build their own aquaculture and fishing fleet or to establish a cooperative relationship with the locals. These were all things Jiang Yue needed to think about.

In the evening, Jiang Yue and the store manager returned to Tazuna's house. They had been staying there for the past few days, and after dinner, it was obvious that the three little ones had gotten along much better with Tazuna's family. It's just unknown what happened during the time Jiang Yue was away.

After dinner, Jiang Yue chatted with the store manager outside.

"Boss, after today's inspection, I don't really recommend doing business here. There are too many feudal lords in the Land of Waves, and the infrastructure is very poor. There's also Gato watching us from the sidelines. If the bridge isn't built well or is destroyed later, our investment here could very well be in vain."

"Moreover, investing here takes too long to yield results, and we may not be able to wait that long. We can consider this place as a backup location to take a look first."

“You’re right, but we have no other choice. Why do you think I chose this place? The other places are monopolized by the Akimichi family. Do you think they don’t want to do it anymore? Why would they turn down money? No, they can’t continue operating in other places. We have no choice but to open up a new battlefield.”

"Boss, do you know why they stopped doing it?"

Jiang Yue turned to look at the shop manager, then leaned against the fence, looked at the sea, and asked him, "How many years have you lived in Konoha? Have you ever traveled far from home before? What are your feelings about coming out this time?"

"I'm almost 40 years old this year, and I've lived in Konoha since I was a child. This is the first time I've traveled so far. I don't have any particular feelings, but I just feel that it's too dangerous."

"Hmm, you've lived in Konoha for so long, do you remember when seafood prices in Konoha were the highest?"

"This... let me think, it seems to be war..."

"What! Manager, are you saying we're going to have another war?"

"More or less, otherwise why do you think the Akimichi family would stop doing business properly? Isn't money good enough for them anymore?"

"Masaka...it's only been a little over a decade since the last war, and besides, the atmosphere in the village doesn't seem like there's going to be a war, does it?"

"Yes, so the Akimichi family is just adjusting related industries. This is just my guess."

It's impossible for the Akimichi family to know that a war was coming. If Jiang Yue didn't know the plot, she wouldn't be able to figure it out either. But don't underestimate these ninja clans. None of these powerful clans are simple. The Third Shinobi World War was more than ten years ago. Based on the timeline of the previous three world wars, a world war will occur on average every twenty years.

Judging by the timeline, it's almost time. Everyone has been developing peacefully for fifteen or sixteen years and has the ability to start a war. Although the big families don't have any foresight, there are plenty of smart people among them. Don't forget that the pig, deer, and butterfly are all one entity. Isn't it normal to start adjusting the industrial structure now? At most, if a war doesn't break out later, we can just readjust.

Jiang Yue didn't talk too much with the shop manager, as it wouldn't be appropriate. Kakashi and the others were still inside, and they shouldn't think they couldn't hear her. After chatting for a while, the shop manager couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep. Jiang Yue took out a small teapot and brewed herself a pot of tea. Naruto had been training all day and was quite quiet, so it was perfect for drinking tea.

Jiang Yue didn't drink too much that night, since drinking too much tea would keep her awake. When she woke up the next morning, Kakashi's two canes had become one, which meant his injury was almost healed. After Sakura and Kakashi found Naruto and Sasuke, they started eating. After dinner, Kakashi continued to take the three little ones to train, while Jiang Yue took the shopkeeper to find a suitable place to raise animals.

Today, the two decided to invest in their own fish farm and cooperate with locals to buy their catch. However, the plan is still just on paper. The specifics depend on whether the bridge can be built. If the situation here isn't resolved, then Jiang Yue's plan will be in vain.

In the following days, Jiang Yue was busy running around, unaware that they were all being watched by Kado. However, they might not have time to cause trouble for Jiang Yue. After Kakashi left with Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto followed. The people who came to cause trouble for Tazuna were also dealt with by Naruto upon his return.

After Naruto left, Jiang Yue led the shopkeeper out of the house. The shopkeeper looked terrified, but this was the last time. It seemed that today was the day the first part of the story would end. After helping to tidy up the house and interrogating the two assassins, Tazuna's daughter and Inari gathered all the villagers and headed to the bridge.

However, Jiang Yue didn't go over there. She could sense what was happening over there from a short distance away. It has to be said that Sakura is a perfect burden. She didn't do anything throughout the entire battle. After that, Gato was killed and his subordinates were driven away. It can be said to be a happy ending, with all the necessary elements.

For a while afterward, the villagers were busy building the bridge, Kakashi was busy training the three little ones, and Jiang Yue and the shop manager were busy planning the breeding base and negotiating cooperation with the villagers. The transportation of seafood was still a problem. Jiang Yue planned to hire some samurai, but using ninjas all the time would be too expensive. It would be good to have one ninja as the captain in critical moments.

After the bridge was completed, Jiang Yue and her group prepared to return to Konoha. On the day they left, all the villagers saw them off. The bridge was indeed much more convenient. After returning to Konoha, Jiang Yue gave the shopkeeper a day off. Jiang Yue was still busy, so she formed a transport team and recruited some samurai. She also randomly inserted a puppet into the team to ensure everything was foolproof.
