Abusing My Wife Feels Good For a While, Chasing My Wife is the Same As Being in the Crematorium

Makoto made a loud noise, easily pulling all of everyone's attention to himself.

Then the socially terrified man began to complain.

Complaining about how the world had become like this, complaining about how hard it was to make money, how hard it was to eat at the Lao Ba's Happy Burger, and how the days were simply going to be unbearable, and so on.

T/N: I have no idea what the above mean, from what I've gotten from both Google and Baidu, 'Lao Ba's Happy Burger' refer to a Chinese meme (not sure tho)

At the beginning, the crowd in the beer hall is still a little wary of him, after all, he is a new face.

But as the complaining continued, the faces of the crowd grew a bit more agreeable, even joining him in his complaints.

Things were much simpler than Makoto had anticipated, and in just three clicks, Makoto had gained the basic goodwill of the people in front of him, paving the way for his next actions.

Human empathy, what a good thing to use.

However, the current situation of the Land of Wave... is impossible not to complain, right?

It was even if the country was small and the people were poor, and it had no place in the international community. The current Land of Water is truly suffering from the bloodsucking and oppression of the Land of Water.

In the hot-blooded manga, after the good and righteous protagonist group defeats the evil villains, everything slowly gets better.

The bridge that people depend on for their livelihood is built, the country is rich and strong, and everyone's face is full of smiles.

But... reality was not like that.

It wasn't that the Land of Water had made any mistakes, but it was because the Land of Water was an industrial nation.

The power of an industrial nation is simply not something that an agricultural nation can challenge, it's holistic power.

-English won in the end, despite being whacked by the Zulus.

As Land of Water became stronger, though, its dependence on resources and markets became even more terrifying.

The Land of Water, as a neighboring country, bears the brunt of this - the world situation today is such that the Land of Fire and Konoha are far more powerful than they were at the same time, and the siphoning off of global capital and talent is far more severe.

The Land of Water's own industrial capacity can't stop the Land of Fire's global siphoning, and in order to counteract this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's going to have to go after its own small, affiliated countries eventually.

Kiri's little match invasion of the Land of Wave, which turned over all of Wave's native match factories in battle, was just one insignificant piece of this larger picture.

There were many, many more situations like this.

From top to bottom, Land of Waves had no way to resist.

Its own agriculture was mediocre, and its industry was about non-existent. After enduring Land of Water's economic invasion, its domestic situation instantly reached a rather dangerous level.

The Land of Water's daimyo pretended to be unaware of this - I'm really not targeting you, this is real free trade. You can't even resist this level of economic invasion, so what can I do.

The knowledgeable people of the Land of Waves knew very clearly that the Land of Waves bridge had to be built. Without the Land of Waves bridge, it would be impossible for them to develop in their lifetime.

The country was weak, and the people of the Land of Waves were at the mercy of others.

But by building the Land of Waves bridge, it was like opening the door to the demons that were so close at hand.

Before, the people of Land of Waves were small and weak, and transportation was troublesome. Now that Land of Waves has solved the transportation problem by itself, it is only natural that the greedy beasts of capital would want to swallow this small country with all its bones and flesh.

Resistance?

It's useless to resist. Land of Waves was born to be eaten by Land of Water.

Land of Water had no way to go toe-to-toe with Land of Fire, but compared to Land of Waves, which couldn't do anything in industry or agriculture, it was truly powerful as a god, and there was no way to resist.

The Land of Waves is really a rotten place where birds don't shit... It's also a weak country, but the Land of Birds still has a lot of phosphate mines composed of countless bird droppings... Although the Land of Birds itself does not know this yet...

For the knowledgeable people of the Land of Waves, whether they opened the country or not, the odds were that it would be a death.

But even if it was a death, they could only choose to open the country.

After all, the initiative to open the country still has some possibility of success to turn over, while being forced to open the country ...

In any case, they tried.

The ordinary people of the Land of Waves do not know so many twists and turns in it, they just feel bitter, but they can not say it.

Planted things to sell, to collect several times the tax, and outside the intermittent sale of things in, do not lower the price can not be sold, lower the price can only be born to look at the folding of the capital.

If you don't sell, you can only rot in the ground. ...

For Land of Waves this desperate situation, even Makoto does not have too good solution.

After all, this place really is nothing.

He wasn't a god, it was impossible to create things out of thin air.

The good thing was that there was a way to play weak.

Land of Waves' industry and agriculture did pull the crotch on all fronts, and there was no possibility of seeing any bends in the road.

But... it can pick the right camp ah.

There's really nothing special about Konoha's 52 years for the big powers. Anyway, stumbling, all kinds of contradictions at times, steady forward development just.

But for the smaller countries, it was a rare opportunity - it was the second world-wide, industrial and agricultural faction war.

The first war between the two factions was won by the industrial faction.

This matter has something to do with Makoto.

The agriculturalists, or the big landowners, were absolutely unwilling to sell their land because of the influence of their inherited concepts.

This kind of insistence engraved in the bones is fatal no matter for which country.

Yet the industrial faction still found a way around the big landowners.

That's right, it was Konoha's floating fortresses, as well as the triple jumpers.

While it doesn't solve the root of the problem, these two oddball contraptions do temporarily solve the problem of transportation.

Aren't you not allowed to build a railroad, ready to sell it at a price and make us hemorrhage money?

I will fly directly over your head.

The big landowners were very mad about this, but there was nothing they could do about it.

However, there are capable people among the big landowners... So, after the battle between the two factions officially entered the 2.0 stage, the big landowners offered their own big killing weapon.

Agricultural Society.

Simply put, it means that the big landowners around the world are ready to unite and interfere and influence the prices of agricultural products around the world together.

Even if there were arguments, they would strive to reach a consensus within the association.

The reason why Makoto knew so clearly was that Konoha had also received an invitation - back then, in order not to eat over expansion, when they swallowed up Land of Rice, the five great hidden villages each invested in a grain company, which is now often referred to in the market as ABCDE, and stabilized Land of Rice by indirectly holding a stake in the company.

Konoha this grain company, perhaps Makoto invested in the company with the lowest rate of return.

However, Makoto himself did not expect it to make money, Makoto's initial position on it was to let it help stabilize the price of food in the Land of Fire.

If possible, the most it could do was to allow the people of the Land of Fire to buy more food at a cheaper price, lowering their Engel's Coefficient.

Of course, it was impossible for even Makoto to clap for such a big thing.

Because it was a multinational organization, the Agricultural Society had too many interests to take into account.

Makoto estimated that within three to five years, a framework could be negotiated, even if the big landowners were quick on their feet.

However, on this basis, there are some cheap can take advantage of - in order to quickly enhance the influence of the Agricultural Society in the world, some of the more enlightened large landowners to join hands, ready to accept their transformation and jurisdiction of the region and the country, a certain amount of low-interest or even interest-free loan support.

This sounds like a big loss for the big landowners, but as long as they really make the agricultural association, they can naturally make a lot of money.

The word monopoly represents endless profits.

Land of Waves really had nothing at the moment, but as long as the money was in place, even if it had no advantages of its own, it could still forcefully create advantages.

If you really can't, you can go for capital-intensive industries.

And that, was the key that Makoto was going to use to convince the people of the Land of Waves - Makoto didn't really like to make separate plans, and while pulling Zabuza into his side's camp, he was also planning to pull the Land of Waves over to his side.

It was something along the way anyway, and it wasn't like the two were in conflict.

They even complemented each other.

Zabuza had lived in the darkness for too long, and he instinctively craved the approval of others and the company of his family.

And the Land of Waves was in need of a hero... The two things could be synthesized into one thing to do.

Makoto sat in the crowd and complained to each other for a while, and everyone slowly became familiar with each other.

Through Makoto's self-reporting, people know that this young man's name is Nagato, also a native of Land of Waves, only that he left Land of Waves at an early age and did not return for many years.

And he came back now because he found a huge business opportunity abroad, so he immediately returned to Land of Waves on his ass, wanting to let his home country also benefit under this business opportunity.

But who had thought that this already barren small country had become even more barren...

I don't know whether it is a relatively low level of culture, or alcohol drink too much to affect thinking, the people of the country of Makoto just sigh, never asked Makoto in the end encountered what business opportunities.

This made Makoto slightly anxious.

Luckily, this time Kakashi came along with him.

So with the help of this clever cudgel, Makoto eventually changed the topic to the Agricultural Society.

"The Agricultural Society has a three year interest free loan... Are those lords out of their minds? How could they even offer such conditions?"

"When I saw it at first, I was also a bit disbelieving, but that's just the way things are... So I immediately went back to the Land of Waves, wanting to get everyone to go ahead and take out a loan... But who would have ever thought that the Land of Waves would be so poor that it would reach such a degree..."

"What does it matter! If you want to put up collateral, we can always come up with something!"

Under Makoto's continuous "inspiration", someone's mind finally became clear.

"But the problem is, those guys from Gato, what should we do?"

"Even if we are willing to plant the land, we have to take it out and sell it... Gato will definitely raise taxes, and then we will be busy for a year, but all the money will be earned by them!"

The so-called Gado were those socially energized groups that were blocking the entrance to the Land of Waves.

These people were actually not very powerful to put it mildly, and in Makoto's opinion, they could all be dealt with by sending two or three Chunins at most.

-Nowadays, the really powerful social vitality groups have all run away to invest in big factories, which can earn much more than doing those things that give birth to children without chrysanthemums.

That's still the prudent way to play it.

But for some people, even a small character like Gado was as difficult to defeat as a monster.

The people who were originally a little excited were immediately disheartened as if cold water had been poured over their heads.

"If only there were ninjas willing to help us."

When the people heard this, they were all helpless.

Ninjas did not have a good reputation in many countries, that is, now that there was the Order of Nothing, the market had calmed down, if it was during the war era, ninjas and robbers would most likely be synonymous.

Even if the ninjas were willing to talk, these poor little people didn't have enough money to pay the ninjas as a commission.

-In their minds, interest-free loans were bound to be used only for farming.

They weren't as flexible as Makoto after all.

The situation was at an impasse.

The eyes that had just brightened up had dimmed again at this point.

However, Makoto did not continue to "inspire".

After all, this was not the Land of the Sea, they had no grudges against the Land of Waves, and they were not here to cause trouble.

After the last time that he had screwed over the Land of the Sea, public opinion hadn't died down yet - and it was foreseeable that in the next few years, it would be very difficult for the Land of the Sea to be ruled by him.

The words would be enough, as long as these words were circulated, there would naturally be smart people who would know what to do.

Because... Zabuza and Hatsuyuki, who had been critically wounded, would soon arrive in the Land of Waves with Tazuna, the master bridge builder.

As long as they didn't have zero IQ, they would definitely think about pulling the two together to help.

With the character of Zabuza, this panther manic old brother, as long as it is slightly provoked...

Thus, in Terumi Mei's bewilderment, Makoto, who had managed to create waves in the crowd, quietly retreated with the two of them.

Terumi Mei's heart was full of doubts at this time, but after a little explanation from Makoto, she also roughly understood the situation.

"I see, your intention is actually this ... utilizing the idea of the Agricultural Society's eagerness to expand its influence to first make a loan and open up the situation? ...Is it really possible like this?"

"Who knows, but there is always a need to try. Taking a step back, having capital in hand is always better than having no capital in hand to talk about, right?"

While Makoto said that, Terumi Mei grew more and more worried.

"If they end up not being able to pay back..."

"Then what should be done?"

It was not easy to take money from large landowners.

They dared to borrow it just because they weren't worried about paying it back.

"Isn't there still us - the others don't dare to step forward, on this acre of Kiri's land, can't we talk numbers with them? It's not like we're not going to pay it back, it's just that we'll let them extend it for five or ten years or something. -

"We helped the villagers solve their problems, they will remember our goodness. -

"Whether it's a success or a failure, we won't lose out is all."

Terumi Mei searched for a long time, and it seemed like it was indeed the case.

Makoto was despicable as he was, but the people of the Land of Waves should only care about solving practical problems.

It didn't matter if a certain well-known impurity of purpose was impure, as long as they did get a benefit.

We are all adults, society is not parents, will not unconditionally meet all your requirements. It's a good deal when it's mutually beneficial.

If they did get benefits and were willing to support Kiri, Terumi Mei's pressure would also be a lot less.

"If that's the case... By the way, I have one last question."

"What?"

"Those stubborn big landowners, how come they suddenly thought of starting some kind of agricultural association, it's not quite like their style... is it you who advocated this?"

At that moment, Terumi Mei's gaze was incomparably sharp.

Makoto weakly averted his gaze.

Stare.

"Don't look at me with that kind of look at scum, I just made a slight suggestion. After all, everyone's atmosphere was there at that time, and my friends asked me a few questions about the future direction of agriculture, so I couldn't not answer them..."

Makoto looked left and right.

Terumi Mei was no longer going to continue bullshitting with this asshole.

"You this guy... really positive and negative are you... I should have thought of that."

... ...

After a little preparation, Zabuza took Hatsuyuki and the old man's employer named Tazuna and set off on a journey.

It wasn't that far from the Land of Water to the Land of Wave. If Zabuza was alone, he would be able to arrive in no time.

On the contrary, there was also a Tazuna in the group.

It was a very annoying old man.

Not only does he talk a lot, he's arrogant, and he's drunk all day long.

No matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like an expert bridge builder.

Zabuza hated him so much that he had every intention of quickly getting Tazuna to the Land of Waves despite the bumps so he could end this mission.

But after some serious thinking, he had to terminate that idea for now.

It wasn't that he cared about Tazuna's life or death, it was just that he couldn't pull that face.

Tazuna was a bit old, and because of years of alcoholism, his health was not really good. If he died halfway through the journey, then Zabuza... you are the Zabuza who would fail at a C-rank mission? It's really lame.

Anyway, Zabuza didn't want to be judged like that.

The political implications of this mission, that was even more needless to say.

If she really messed it up, that Terumi Mei woman would definitely freak out... Hmph, she didn't have much prestige in the first place. Although we are all from the Mizukage faction, Zabuza will not be extraordinarily tame just because the other party is a woman....

Wanting to make him bow down is impossible.

Any ninja, in the deepest part of his heart, would think of becoming a Kage..

Zabuza thought this in his mind, his heart was on fire. But he never showed it, but advanced as far as possible pretending that nothing was wrong.

Without realizing it, it was already sunset.

In order to take care of Tazuna, the three of them had been advancing at a low speed.

Zabuza, who came from the Kiri Anbu, did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, and would have no problem continuously traveling for several more days and nights.

Hatsuyuki, in addition to a slight redness on his face, also did not see to gasp... This kid still has two things.

Though not as powerful as my lord.

Zabuza thought so.

Tazuna still couldn't take it anymore.

"No... can't... this ninja-san, let's take a break..."

That's why Zabuza didn't like to act with others.

Such a scrappy teammate would really get the other guy killed if he didn't get down.

On the contrary, this thing is the employer....

Zabuza was a bit upset.

Emotionally, he didn't want to listen to Tazuna's stop.

Rationally, he also knew that he was afraid that he couldn't advance today, and that the old man would be in real trouble if he accidentally hung up.

Right now they are not out of the Land of Water's boundaries, this place should still be relatively safe... but it is still not cool.

In hesitation, Hatsuyuki spoke up at the right time.

"Zabuza-sama, it's almost time to eat, let's stop a little."

"It's important to keep your strength up when you go out."

Zabuza gave Hatsuyuki a deep look.

If we eat at this time, it will basically be nightfall by the time we finish eating. At that time, Hatsuyuki would be able to say again that moving at night is not conducive to protecting Tazuna, and simply rest for the night... This kid is quite resourceful.

At the very least, Hatsuyuki knows that the boss is thinking, and will find excuses for the boss.

Compared to the subordinates he had dealt with before, who were just like wood, it was really much better.

Zabuza saw through Hatsuyuki's little scheme, but he didn't break it down.

So the three of them found a shelter and settled down.

The handy Hatsuyuki started cooking.

Only the way he cooked was not quite the same as the other ninjas.

Most ninjas were rather casual about food when they were on a mission, basically as long as they could eat.

Like Zabuza, a few army food pills would solve the problem.

For the more sophisticated ones, it's nothing more than bringing a few canned goods.

But Hatsuyuki this guy... he brought is actually half done dishes?

He carefully sealed the ingredients in separate categories in a scroll and completed the cooking work first. Now that he was camping, he brought out these pre-cooked dishes again.

Canned food was convenient, but the variety was a little less in the end. And if these precooked dishes are... not much of a problem except that the flavor is slightly inferior to making them directly.

When the delicious soup entered his belly, Zabuza felt the day's fatigue dissipate.

"Zabuza-sama, do you like it?"

"...What a nuisance. Obviously you could have brought more weapons, but you used them on such useless things!"

"Hey... but, I... I want to make Zabuza-sama happier... You look like you've been less than happy all this time..."

Facing Zabuza's cold eyes, Hatsuyuki lowered his head, looking frustrated.

Hmph, woman... Wait, no, this kid is male.

Zabuza was a little unsure of what to say for a moment.

He had always instinctively felt that as a shinobi, he should be clean and not do anything that dragged him down.

However, he did so for him... How long has it been since he had encountered such a person who cared about his thoughts... It seems that he hadn't encountered one since he graduated from the ninja school...

Ha, who made him a demon without humanity.

Zabuza thought so, the colder his gaze became.

Clang!

Zabuza put the Kubikiribocho on Hatsuyuki's neck.

Even if it didn't directly chop down, the extremely sharp Kubikiribocho still grazed a thin bloodstain on Hatsuyuki's delicate neck.

"Don't do such a stupid thing! -

"It makes me sick! -

"We are ninja without feelings! Just do what you need to do!"

Hatsuyuki subconsciously took a few steps back in the face of Zabuza's cold rejection.

There was something about him that wanted to step forward, yet he looked a bit intimidated.

That gesture was truly pitiful to me.

But Zabuza didn't care.

He didn't like weak people.

Even more so, he didn't like weak ninjas.

Just at this time, Tazuna, who had been whining along the way, stepped forward.

"This ninja-san... Although you didn't tell me my name along the way, nor did you introduce the relationship between you and your subordinates... However, I think that I, as an employer, should be able to say a little something, right? "

"What do you want to say?"

Zabuza raised an eyebrow.

"Can you be a little nicer to your girlfriend? -

"I've seen a lot of young people like you, old man. Always not cherishing it when it's in your hands, and only regretting it when you lose it. -

"Your girlfriend is so cute and likes you so much, if she follows someone else in the future, you won't even be able to cry... abusing your wife feels good for a while, chasing your wife is the same as heading to the crematorium, young man."

The corner of Zabuza's mouth began to twitch.

"Where did you see that Hatsuyuki is my girlfriend?"

"Didn't you notice that she was looking at you the whole way? There's no mistaking that kind of look, the old man isn't so bad that he doesn't even have that kind of vision."

"That's because..."

Zabuza could more or less guess why Hatsuyuki liked to stick to him.

Because he didn't care about the gender of his subordinates.

Being able to cut is fine.

And for Hatsuyuki, who was fed up with discrimination, even this level of tolerance...

Zabuza was just about to continue talking when suddenly a hint of malice came from the distance.

He didn't have the heart to continue arguing with the old man with a broken mouth, but instead aimed his Kubikiribocho at the direction from which the malice came.

Hatsuyuki also immediately made a defensive stance.

Rustle Rustle...

Between the rubbing of the branches, a man wearing a red cloud robe on a black background appeared in front of the three.

"-It's a member of the Akatsuki!"

Because Makoto deliberately leaked information, the five great hidden villages of this era knew far more about Akatsuki than the same period.

"You guys... are Kakuzu!"

In order to cover his tracks, Terumi Mei had intentionally lowered the level of the mission and had specifically dispatched Zabuza.

But now it seems...

"Ah, it's me."

Kakuzu looked at the quest book in his hand and, in a voice heard only by himself, muttered and stuffed it into his arms.

"I'm really not good at setting up couples... but that guy is giving too much..."

After muttering, Kakuzu's voice gradually raised.

"Tazuna, right? Leave his head and you guys can go."

"I'm up and down a few million a minute and don't want to waste time."

Kakuzu said it so matter-of-factly, which ignited Zabuza, who was already in a state of turmoil.

"Oh? Is that so? -

"What if, I refuse?"

A milky white fog began to spread through the forest.

Kiri's famous silent killing technique, reappeared!
