Chapter 763: Chapter 690: The Transaction Chapter 763: Chapter 690: The Transaction Konoha’s gate, from a real-world perspective, appeared quite majestic.
But for those accustod to various World Fragnts and diverse circumstances, it seed relatively standard.
Upon entering the village, one’s first view could take in the distant Hokage Rock.
The sculptures of the four Hokages stood before them, largely explaining the current situation.
“There’s no ntion of Kushina among the information on Konoha’s powerful, but since Minato is still alive, she’s likely still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Jinchuriki intelligence is relatively secret, so it’s normal if Pioneers don’t have that in their reports,” Tao Yu surmised the current ti fra.
...
It was unknown whether Naruto and Sasuke had been born yet.
But with Obito being taken in and Rin still alive, who knew what transformations had occurred…
“If Naruto has been born, then he’s practically a prince…”
Compared to the other major Shinobi Villages, Konoha was too strong, strong enough to bundle them all together and beat them with ease.
That’s why Konoha also had more autonomy.
“This here is the village where you, as guests, are free to move around.
However, please refrain from entering areas marked as sensitive…”
The squad that had led them to Konoha finished signing them in at the gate and briefed them on so things they needed to know.
Konoha itself had comrcial logistics, especially now after entering the Abyss; stockpiling war supplies made the caravan traffic extrely frequent.
Moreover, with prior instances of Pioneers arriving, a pattern had already ford.
The village had patrolling ninja, the Konoha Security Team, and even the Anbu in place.
In terms of surveillance, it was quite secure, so they weren’t overly concerned.
“Thank you for guiding us, you’ve been a great help.”
Ye Feng expressed his gratitude and then surveyed the village, which exuded an atmosphere of peace.
On their way, they had co across so villages near the border that had already evacuated everyone, looking desolate.
They even encountered a village that was ‘cleansed’ due to an infection; the damaged houses, burned ruins, and dried bloodstains all indicated the unrest of this world.
Following the descent into the Abyss, there should have been imnse pressure.
Yet, the ordinary people in Konoha Village seed unperturbed, possessing an indescribable sense of relaxation.
The atmosphere of ease and comfort was sothing that could never be faked.
To them, it even felt more relaxed than the Developnt Zone, more than Tokyo.
Although they occasionally heard discussions about the issues with the Abyss and sensed so concern,
it felt more like gossip session and idle chat over tea.
“A village that has never experienced war is truly unimaginable…” Ye Rong remarked with so amazent.
“It’s not that they’ve never experienced war, just that Konoha’s strength has never allowed a war to break out within the village,” a crisp voice chid in beside them, startling Ye Rong and Ye Feng.
Because they absolutely hadn’t noticed when this person had approached!
As Senior Partners, their lack of reaction could have been dangerous if the other had ill intentions!
Having encountered Madara Uchiha before and witnessed the divine might of his Heavenly Obstruction Crush, they could still accept it.
After all, Madara Uchiha was indeed a renowned figure among Pioneers, just like Tianchengzi.
But having just entered Konoha Village, they found that even a random person could bring such a threat, making them slightly anxious.
What kind of place had they walked into?
Tao Yu also turned to see a blue-haired beauty in a black robe with red clouds.
That attire was instantly recognizable, it was Konan!
Today, thanks to Yahiko still being alive, the Akatsuki Organization remained the dream-filled team it was always ant to be,
aspiring to mutual understanding among people and the eradication of war.
Having grown up suffering the horrors of war, Konan naturally envied and longed for the peacefulness of Konoha.
Now a mber of Konoha, she also harbored a deep-seated commitnt to protect it.
The Land of Rain was no more, and all her hopes had naturally transferred to Konoha.
And so far, Konoha had indeed provided her with all the beauty she had imagined.
Indeed, the village housed its share of dark secrets, but with the return of the powerful God of Shinobi, First Hokage Hashirama Senju, that seemingly simple-minded but sincerely devoted First Hokage had brought an indescribable charisma.
He appeared sowhat naive, but unexpectedly reliable.
“You may call Konan.
If you encounter any issues in the village, feel free to approach .
This origami crane will always follow you, and you can directly communicate your needs to it…”
Konan folded an origami crane that took flight from her palm, slowly circling above them.
“We appreciate Miss Konan’s guidance.
We do have so questions we’d like to ask.”
“Ask away.
I’ll tell you everything that I can.”
“Who currently oversees the village’s main responsibilities?
After all, you have four Hokage, and all of them are still around…”
Tao Yu was curious about the current situation in Konoha.
“As for a spiritual leader, naturally, it’s the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
For daily governance, my senior, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, handles the tasks, with occasional guidance and suggestions from the Second and Third Hokage.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu gained so understanding.
No wonder there was a harmonious atmosphere.
If the First Hokage was a spiritual leader and the Fourth in charge, it made sense.
With Minato Namikaze’s disposition, the circumstances for the Uchiha clan would be much better.
After all, Madara Uchiha brought more fear than anything else, which rather backfired in day-to-day life.
“If you are looking to purchase Sealing Scrolls, you can head directly to the logistics departnt.
We are also stockpiling Sealing Scrolls, but if you are Pioneers, we only engage in bartering.”
Having previously encountered other Pioneers, Konan had a fair idea of what they might require.
“We have learned from Lord Madara that you’re also troubled by a virus and the Cockroach People.
While we may not be able to handle the Cockroach People, we do indeed have a vaccine against the virus and the corresponding antibodies…”
At that mont, Ye Rong also disclosed so of their assets.
Although they hadn’t developed these items, as Pioneers, she nonetheless had access to so sources.
Even if the researchers were from Dragon Heaven City, she could still manage to get her hands on so, whether by buying the cultivation thods or simply crossing through the mist to reach Dragon Heaven City.
After all, research was conducted for the sake of selling.
And if it was just the vaccines that were needed, then arranging for two Interdiate Partners of the Ye Family to stay in Konoha long-term wouldn’t be a bad deal, as they could travel to Dragon Heaven City every ten days.
The profit wouldn’t be too shabby.
Although there was a limit to how much one could carry through the crossover, vaccines and Sealing Scrolls were relatively lightweight and not bulk goods.
Moreover, if they could reach an agreent, they could even request Space Equipnt from their family!
It was perfect timing, as the vaccine research had just been completed, and no one else had jumped on the opportunity just yet.
Eventually, as more people get into this line of trade, the exchange rates would naturally adjust to the supply and demand relationship of the market.
But for now, being among the first to reap the benefits, the initial profits were bound to be substantial…
