Chapter 32 The Boatman Also Has Spring (1/3)
"Idiot, there is something to chase me, you chase me, if you chase me, I will let you hehe!"
On the misty sea, Ye Xuan stood at the stern of the boat, twitching his ass. On the shore, Third Kazekage's face was gloomy. Looking at Ye Xuan the size of an ant, the terrifying Chakra kept escaping all around, scaring the two beside him. The Jōnin puppet master took a small step back.
"Master Fengying."
A middle-aged woman about 40 years old squeezed past the crowd and walked to Third Generation, her voice was low, with a calming magic.
"Chiyo, how's the situation?" Third Kazekage took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. Looking at all the tattered ships in the port, he turned around, knowing that this time it was all for nothing.
"I just found the diplomatic elder in a small oasis 10,000 meters away. As for the other people, only the bodies were found."
"The corpse... Forget it, the diplomatic elder is alive, it's not worth it, as a ship, you will lead the team and escort the elder back to the country of water. As for the group of Konoha Anbu..."
Third Kazekage frowned, Ye Xuan's arrogant and provocative actions reappeared in his mind. As a shadow of a village, he was insulted by a mere Chūnin. If he didn't return it, where would he lose his face?
Thinking of this, killing intent rekindled in Third Kazekage's heart again, he turned his head and glanced at Jōnin around him, and immediately made a decision.
"You, you, and you, when the boat is built, the three of you and the few Chūnins at the back will escort the diplomat elders to the country of water with Chiyo. Although Konoha Anbu is wearing a mask, the kid's height and body are all the same. Remember, you tell Mizukage for me, there is an additional clause for alliance cooperation, don't let these Anbu leave alive!"
"What if they just circled the sea and came back quietly?"
"Hmph, don't worry, I will send someone to block off all the coastlines in this area, and the rest of the coastlines, unless they have a map and a route, will get lost in the vast sea. I don't think they will make such a stupid choice."
"The port of the water country..."
"They can't leave. The Land of Water closed all ports a few days ago. Not only are there no boats at the ports, but there are also no boatmen. These days, the two countries rely on ships from our own ports to travel back and forth. Insult me, hum..."
Ye Xuan didn't know that the habit he developed in Konoha brought him a lot of trouble, but at this time, he was sitting happily on the side of the boat, eating eel rice balls one bite at a time.
"Little Xuan, your rice balls look delicious, or..."
"Don't! My dad made this for me before I went out. It's just a little bit, so I won't give it to you!"
Ye Xuan quickly shielded the rice ball and stared vigilantly at the Hatake rice in front of him. Yesterday's dinner let him know that this seemingly thin guy is actually a gluttonous foodie. If he doesn't pay attention, the rice ball might be stolen. .
"Cut... cheapskate." Hatake Fan muttered, and after being rejected, he still stood beside Ye Xuan, his eyes fixed on the rice ball, and he swallowed from time to time.
No one can stand the feeling of being stared at by someone while eating, especially when Ye Xuan opened his mouth to eat the rice ball, Hatake Fan's eyes showed a strong desire.
"Can you stop staring at me and eat by yourself?"
"It's okay (gudong), I can watch you eat (gudong)."
"...Well, I lost." Seeing Hatake Fan's drooling, Ye Xuan felt helpless, and finally handed over a rice ball in the box, and then, a shadow that even Ye Xuan couldn't see clearly scratched, When he reacted, Hatake Fan had already eaten the rice ball in his mouth.
"Hatake Fan, you are really... If you can use this talent in your practice, you will definitely have a seat in the future Kage-level powerhouse."
"Hehe, I didn't think about it, hehehe..." Hatake Fan scratched his head, showing his true nature as a foodie, and just when Ye Xuan wanted to enjoy his meal again, a cry came from the stern of the boat.
"Huh?" Ye Xuan raised his head in confusion, and found that the old boatman in charge of boating was crying softly while rowing the boat. His face full of tears looked extremely pitiful.
"Father, why are you crying?"
Ye Xuan gave Hatake Rice a warning look, and was about to put the lunch box down, but the moment the lunch box touched the board, Hatake Rice's eyes shone with a strong light, Ye Xuan subconsciously retracted his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally put the lunch box Protected in the arms.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Walking to the old boatman's side, Ye Xuan asked suspiciously, maybe Ye Xuan was young and seemed to get along better, and the boatman's mood gradually calmed down.
"Sir little ninja, I'm so sad, the one on the shore just now was Lord Kazekage. You destroyed all the ships in Kyushu Port and forced me to take you to the Land of Water, but what should I do after you leave? It doesn't matter if I die, but I still have a two-year-old grandson. His parents died early. If I die too, what will happen to my grandson..."
The old boatman's words left Ye Xuan speechless, he thought for a moment, patted the other party's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, old man, no matter how tyrannical Feng Ying is, he will not harm the lives of the people indiscriminately. No one can understand that we forced the boat to sail, you are thinking too much, our behavior today is not only a bad thing for you, but also a great good thing!"
"Sir little ninja, don't make me happy, this is obviously a bad thing, why is it a good thing again?"
"Stupid, if I say a good thing, that's a good thing! Let me ask you first, how long does it take for fishermen like you to build a small transport vessel with cabins and decks?"
"At least 5 years!"
"Then you say, now in the entire Kyushu Port, who has a ship except you."
"Gone."
"Isn't that right?" Ye Xuan patted the boatman on the shoulder again with an excited expression on his face, "This is a monopoly! Do you understand a monopoly? In the next five years...at least one year, Kyushu Port will be You are alone in the world! No matter whether you are transporting people or goods, some people are begging you. When the time comes, as long as the price is not too outrageous, how much do you want to increase the price, others will be waiting in line for you!"
Along the way, Ye Xuan continued to teach the 21st century business philosophy to the boatman. It was not until he reached the port of the Land of Water that Ye Xuan stopped and patted the boatman on the shoulder: "Come on, old man, today's knowledge only needs to be learned ten times. If you take one part, you will be able to become rich, which is also a reward for taking us out of Kyushu Port. Remember, monopoly and mergers and acquisitions are the fastest ways to make money! I believe in you, you will definitely succeed!"
At the port of the Land of Water, the old boatman looked at Ye Xuan's back gratefully, until a group of people disappeared into the thick fog, the old boatman clenched his fists and his face glowed with youthful brilliance.
"Kado, my good grandson, grandpa will work hard to become a rich man and let you live a good life! Although you are only 2 years old now, grandpa will work hard to live for you. When you are sensible, grandpa will All the knowledge you just learned is passed on to you!"*
