Chapter 43 Four Things, Sound Ninja Village

"Sasuke-nii, I want to eat dango."

In the City of Fire, Sasuke was shopping with Chika.

The little girl and Sasuke were separated for half a month. When she saw him again, she was extremely excited. She held his arm and refused to let go, even though the daimyo scolded her to no avail.

After the New Year, Sasuke did not leave the Fire City immediately. He still had several things to deal with.

The first is the handover of the underground gold exchange.

The original manager was the Daimyo's nephew, a super fat guy who was also the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire and was in charge of all finance and taxation of the Country of Fire.

Like the daimyo, this man was a super bastard. When he heard that Sasuke was willing to take over the money exchange, his face was full of excitement, and the fat on his face trembled, almost spitting out oil.

In addition to handing over the money exchange, Sasuke also had to arrange the shops in the Fire City.

Originally, these shops were his betrothal gift for marrying Qianhua, but now that the two parties have entered into a marriage contract, the daimyo has given these shops to Qianhua as a dowry, and also added some other businesses. Although the little girl is not married yet, the property has already come to Uchiha first, and Sasuke will manage it on his behalf.

There was nothing to say, so he directly asked the Uchiha Property Company to send a few people to the Fire Capital to manage the properties in the Fire Capital for Sasuke.

The third task is to discuss with the Daimyo the application for the Uchiha Guards.

As a low-level noble, he can have a private army, but the number is very small, only fifty people.

But as the princess's fiancé, he is equivalent to the highest-ranking noble under the daimyo, and can raise 500 private soldiers. Including the princess's share, this is the quota for a thousand people.

Of course, Sasuke must make good use of such a power.

However, in order not to make Konoha Village nervous, he planned to leave a hundred people in the Uchiha clan, and the remaining 900 people were temporarily placed in the Fire City and other Uchiha industries.

Regarding the issue of private soldiers, the daimyo issued an order to recruit peasants from all over the country.

All initial expenses will be paid by Sasuke, and when the staff is fully recruited, Sasuke will personally be responsible for training these people.

Finally, and most importantly, Sasuke needs a group of death row prisoners.

Of course there are death row prisoners in Konoha Village, but the people imprisoned there are basically ninjas, and it is impossible for the village to hand them over to him.

It doesn't matter to the daimyo. Death row prisoners will be executed sooner or later anyway, and keeping them in jail for a long time will waste money and food. Since Sasuke was willing to buy these death row prisoners at a price of one hundred taels each, the daimyo wished he had taken them away one day earlier.

So with a wave of his hand, he gave Sasuke an identity card. With this identity card, he could enter the prison in the City of Fire at will, and Sasuke could take away as many death row prisoners as he wanted.

Of course not now. If Sasuke wanted to do an experiment, he couldn't go to Konoha Village to do it. Too many people and too many eyes would cause trouble.

He decided to use a secret base of Uchiha, which was the place where he and Itachi had the final battle in the memory of his previous life.

The place is remote and inaccessible. From the outside, it looks like a large area of ​​abandoned ruins. When the Uchiha clan still existed, no one lived there. Now that the Uchiha clan has perished, it has completely become a habitat for wild beasts. There is a huge and hidden underground space there, which is used as Sasuke's laboratory. The Leaf Village will definitely not notice the movement there.

After achieving all the above four goals: money exchange, Fire City industry, guards, and death row, Sasuke finally planned to leave the Fire City and return to Konoha Village. When leaving, Qianhua looked reluctant to leave. She proposed several times to go with him, but was rejected by the daimyo.

The reason is also very simple. Qianhua is a princess, how can she run around casually? Do you still want the daimyo’s face?

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Daimyo was worried that Sasuke would use Chika's identity to cause trouble again.

It's okay to cause trouble, but you must not involve the Daimyo. The Daimyo and the Hokage are the twin kings of the Land of Fire. Once there is a grudge between them, it will not be a good thing for the entire country.

Although Sasuke could promise that he would not do it, the daimyo obviously did not believe it, and Sasuke had no choice but to wave goodbye to Chika.

……

Two days later, the Uchiha convoy that left the City of Fire did not return directly to Konoha, but went straight north to the territory of Tian Country.

They carried the banner of the nobles of the Fire Country along the way, and the ninjas took a detour when they saw it. Occasionally, refugee bandits attacked the convoy, but basically they never came back.

Sasuke did not kill these people, but captured them, strung them up with ropes, and took them with him on the road.

Naturally, he came to Tian Country to find Orochimaru, but Sasuke could not enter Tian Country for this reason.

It would be easier if he was a ninja. Anyway, there is no ninja village in Tian Country, but now that he is coming as a noble, he will be stopped at the border.

But the problem is not big. A small country like the Kingdom of Tian has to rely on a big country in all aspects. If a noble from the Kingdom of Fire comes to the Kingdom of Tian, ​​he can do whatever he wants, not to mention pointing at the name of the country of Tian and scolding him. The other party didn't even dare to fart. Sasuke was not that bored. He crossed the border in the name of discussing food imports. After entering the country of Tian and meeting the daimyo of the country, he immediately left the convoy alone and headed to the Sound Ninja Village according to the location shown in the intelligence.

Sound Ninja Village is located in the southeast corner of Tian Country, quite close to the border of Fire Country. Its headquarters is underground, but there are obvious signs on the surface.

It is not a shameful underground organization. On the surface, it is a serious ninja village in the country of Tian. It was built with the consent of the daimyo and with the help of the power of the country.

It's just that others don't know the true identity of the leader of the Sound Ninja Village, and this so-called headquarters is, to put it bluntly, just a cover, blocking the public's eyes.

The real secret base of Oto Ninja Village is still elsewhere. How could someone like Orochimaru put all his eggs in the same basket?
Arriving at the address of the Sound Ninja Village, Sasuke found the big stone representing the Sound Ninja Village, with a musical note icon engraved on it.

Sasuke walked forward with his daimyo document in hand. Before he could take two steps, someone blocked his way.

He is a ninja from the Oto Ninja Village, the one who has his face covered and has no name at all.

After seeing the document, the other party did not dare to stop him and let him enter the Sound Ninja Village.

Entering the underground, walking through a long passage, and arriving at a hall, Sasuke had just stopped when a cold, snake-like voice sounded not far in front of him.

"You are very courageous. You actually dare to come here alone. The envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Land, no, it should be the son-in-law of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the last descendant of Uchiha, Sasuke-kun——"

Orochimaru's figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
