Chapter 9: The Way of Survival in Kusagakure Village

"Go to another country to try your luck?"

Konan hesitated, and after thinking it over, she nodded.

Although she had never left the Rain Country, the supplies in the organization were already seriously insufficient. Compared with the dangers that might be encountered when leaving the Rain Country, she was more worried about whether her companions would be short of food and clothing.

Sensing Konan's turbulent and uneasy emotions, Bai Ye turned around and smiled helplessly.

In the evaluation of the system, Konan is a ninja with the strength of an elite jonin. Even with the debuff of soft heart, he may only be able to exert the strength of a jonin, but he is also a leader among ninjas.

However, it is this spirit of forging ahead that attracted him to stay in the unreliable organization of Akatsuki.

After leaving the Rain Country, the weather became better and better.

Unlike the Rain Country, which rains all year round, the Grass Country not only has pleasant weather, but also occupies a fertile grassland and forest.

If it weren't for the existence of difficult monsters in the country and the need for a buffer zone between the big countries, the Grass Country would have been divided up by the three big countries next to it, and even Hanzo would come to share a piece of the pie.

Walking on the land of Grass Country, Bai Ye and Xiao Nan, who hid their identities, asked about the location of the black market along the way.

Unfortunately, after the battle between Iwagakure and Konoha started, the black market in Grass Country was either destroyed or military control was implemented, and the control of arms and medicines was stricter than that of Rain Country.

However, there were many more opportunities for black-eating-black and picking up leaks.

They picked up a lot of useful supplies and ninjutsu from the bodies of dead ninjas, but for the supplies that Akatsuki lacked, it was still a drop in the bucket.

After wandering in Grass Country for a few days, Bai Ye and Xiao Nan came to the ninja village of Grass Country, Kusagakure Village.

Kusagakure Village, a village in the true sense.

Unlike other ninja villages called ninja villages, which are actually military strongholds and have a population of more than 100,000, Kusagakure Village has a permanent population of less than 10,000, and the number of ninjas is only a few hundred, which is not at the same level at all.

In peacetime, relying on cheap commissions to seize the market and collect tolls by the way, barely maintaining expenses.

During the war, they could only allow the big countries to start wars on their territory, wavering like fence-sitters, and hiding in the Grass Village.

After successfully entering the Grass Village disguised as a merchant, Xiaonan looked at Bai Ye beside him and couldn't help asking:

"Bai Ye, can you really buy supplies here?"

Bai Ye was not sure enough, but he still said with confidence: "Go to the market and you will know. The Grass Village must have some skills to open the village during the war."

Xiaonan nodded doubtfully, and the two walked into the market of the Grass Village as merchants.

As soon as he entered the market, Bai Ye saw many Grass Ninjas standing guard nearby. This trading market in the Grass Village was obviously backed by the high-level background of the Grass Village, and the things sold in it were also eye-opening.

In addition to weapons such as kunai and shuriken, there were even people selling ninjutsu scrolls.

Although it was the lowest level of ninjutsu, the Grass Village was obviously fearless in openly selling these during the war.

After asking several merchants, Bai Ye and Xiao Nan got the news of the sale of supplies, but after hearing the high prices of the supplies, Xiao Nan's expression immediately dimmed. The money she brought was not enough to buy enough supplies.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye took out a heavy purse from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Nan.

"Don't look at me, this is the money I got from selling detonating talismans. Senior Xiao Nan obviously knows how to make detonating talismans, but he never thought of selling detonating talismans for money. In the current ninja world, detonating talismans are hard currency."

It was obviously me who mastered the detonating talisman manufacturing technique first...

Xiao Nan looked at Bai Ye expressionlessly, but the heavy purse made her feel extremely reliable.

Just as Xiao Nan was about to say something, Bai Ye took the initiative to distance himself and quickly disappeared in the market, leaving only a note full of black words.

Senior Xiao Nan, I'm going to go out for a walk and see you at the hotel later.

After reading the above content, Xiao Nan crushed the note, and a reassuring smile appeared on her cold face.

After shaking off Konan, Bai Ye walked alone on the street of Kusagakure Village. In addition to not wanting to bargain with the merchants, he was also looking for suitable prey.

Of course, it was impossible to kill people in Kusagakure Village unless he had the strength of Hanzo.

He also hated using killing to solve problems. Compared with the body, he preferred mental torture, but physical means were often more effective.

With the idea of ​​burning weeds, Bai Ye began to actively approach Kusagakure Ninja, hoping to hear the information he wanted from Kusagakure Ninja's conversation.

To be precise, he wanted to hear information about the Uzumaki clan.

In the memory of the previous life, Uzumaki Karin was a ninja from Kusagakure Village. Karin was extremely talented. As long as she received proper teaching, she would be an elite ninja at the level of Jonin.

Judging from the current timeline, although Karin has not been born yet, her mother may have come to Kusagakure Village.

As long as Karin's mother can be found, a seed player with excellent talent can be recruited for the Akatsuki organization, so that he can get a new system reward.

Otherwise, the ninja world is so big, there is no need for him to take Xiaonan to the Grass Country.

After several hours of investigation, Bai Ye did not get any results. Either the level of the grass ninjas was too low, or Karin's mother had not yet arrived at the Grass Village. He did not hear any useful information.

The only Uzumaki ninja he found was the Konoha ninja Uzumaki Kushina.

After dark, Bai Ye met Xiaonan at the hotel. Judging from Xiaonan's excited expression, the procurement operation must have been very successful, and enough weapons and medicines were purchased for the Akatsuki organization.

"Bai Ye, you gave me one million taels and you have two hundred thousand taels left. I will find a way to pay you back the money I spent."

"The price of weapons purchased this time is three times the normal price, but the price of medicines has not increased much. I bought a little more this time in case of emergency."

The taciturn Xiaonan suddenly became cheerful, leaving Bai Ye still not used to it.

However, when he heard that the price increase of drugs was smaller than that of weapons, Bai Ye frowned and said to himself: "The price of weapons has increased several times, but the price of drugs has not increased much. Why is this?"

Hearing Bai Ye talking to himself, Xiaonan also fell into deep thought.

After a while, Bai Ye looked at Xiaonan solemnly: "Senior Xiaonan, write a letter to Yahiko immediately and tell him that the supplies will be sent to the border of the Country of Rain and have someone send someone to receive them. We still need to stay in the Country of Grass. a period of time."

Xiaonan nodded slightly. Although she didn't understand the situation, she still agreed out of habit after seeing Bai Ye's solemn eyes.
