Chapter 1279: Evil God (2)

The property transfer agreement at Oyashiro has been signed and personally handed over to Miyako, marking the completion of this transaction.

This property will be managed by the Shion Flower Merchants Association, and the management fee is to transfer his group of ninjas entirely to the military of the Land of Demons.

He has already planned to retire, not intending to continue with the arms business. Keeping those ninja subordinates doesn’t serve any purpose, so he might as well do a favor and let the Land of Demons handle it.

“However, to be honest, the commotion your Land of Demons is causing this time is quite significant, especially with your son-in-law. The road ahead might be very difficult.”

Oyashiro’s expression rarely grew serious.

The current situation in the Ninja Realm is indeed favorable for the Land of Demons, as the Land of Lightning has also begun planning against the Land of Fire.

But such targeting is only temporary. The high profile of the Land of Demons will inevitably face suppression from a coalition of multiple countries in the future.

The Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire will not remain hostile forever. As a newly rising powerful country, the Land of Demons has yet to adapt to the Five Great Nations’ governing system. Once targeted by a coalition, they might become frantic.

“I didn’t expect him to act so decisively against the Isolated Island side, not only straining relations with the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind but also causing many small countries that conduct business with the Isolated Island to begin guarding against the Land of Demons. Obviously, I had told him not to target the Isolated Island.”

Miyako sighed helplessly.

Children grow up and become disobedient.

When she was young, she wanted to earn more money to save enough development funds for the Uchiha Clan. Now that the funds are sufficient, her concern is how to ensure the wealth won’t be taken by outsiders.

Moreover, last time when she privately, in the name of the military, brought some children of the Uchiha Clan of Konoha to the Land of Demons, her own military authority was confiscated by her daughter, with a knife almost at her throat. Indeed, girls are always outward-facing.

By now, the military won’t allow outsiders to interfere, and the direction of the military will only be known during top-level meetings.

By the time they became aware, the Land of Demons had already allied with three of the Five Great Nations and directly taken action, leaving Miyako at a loss for words.

Just as she said not to be high profile, her son-in-law quickly led troops to eliminate the Isolated Island Merchant Alliance, so swiftly as if rushing to a market.

Furthermore, she recalled that the relationship between the Land of Demons and the Underground Black Market hadn’t been resolved, and conflict had even erupted, which gave Miyako another headache.

Originally, she thought her daughter’s strong personality was already a headache, but it turned out that her seemingly most honest son-in-law was the most troublesome one.

If the day ever comes when the Land of Demons is an enemy to the entire world, Miyako wouldn’t be surprised.

“It seems you’re quite stressed too.”

Oyashiro deeply empathized.

The plans of the Land of Demons also disrupted his arrangements.

Although he had considered retiring, he didn’t intend to retire so soon. However, the actions of the Land of Demons forced him to do so.

Compared to the vast machinery of the Land of Demons, his arms company is completely out of comparison.

Neither in wealth nor in force are they on the same level.

“Indeed. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Have you thought about which country to retire in?”

Miyako inquired.

Oyashiro chuckled without thinking: “Where else but the Land of Hot Water seems perfect to me.”

“The Land of Hot Water?”

“Yes. The Land of Hot Water is the most outstanding hot spring country in the Ninja Realm, and also a tourist destination. I’ve invested all my retirement funds here, acquired this hot spring inn, to enjoy a peaceful life here in bliss, nurturing pets, and admiring the beautiful women in the streets.”

As for the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, he is confident that war won’t erupt.

He is not only a merchant but also a ninja, and he understands clearly what the purpose of the Land of Lightning in this standoff is.

“Oh, really?”

Miyako’s face suddenly turned peculiar.

“What’s wrong? Is it strange that I opened a hot spring inn?”

Oyashiro stroked his chin, contemplating.

“No, I didn’t say that, I can only say it’s a great idea.”

Miyako stood up.

“Leaving already?”

Oyashiro asked.

“Yes, the matters are dealt with. We’ll chat later.”

“Indeed, I won’t see you off then.”

Oyashiro lay leisurely on the chair, with no intention to get up.

Miyako, being used to his mannerism, saw his laid-back attitude as a sign of friendship.

Being too formal, in contrast, would only be insincere.

Right after Miyako left, a kimono-clad maid came running in hurriedly.

“Lord Oyashiro, there’s a big problem!”

“Hmm, what’s the matter? Is someone causing trouble?”

Oyashiro asked casually, not concerned.

Given his capability, he isn’t worried about ordinary people. Should they come to cause trouble, he would let these young people know the prowess of a former arms dealer!

“That’s not it, it’s the Hidden Hot Water Village!”

The kimono-clad maid’s face was pale.

“Hidden Hot Water Village?”

Oyashiro’s expression turned slightly solemn.

Though the Land of Hot Water is a small country, it is not a small country without a ninja village. It boasts a ninja village called the Hidden Hot Water Village.

Though not well-known in the Ninja Realm with no famous ninjas, among small countries, it counts as a powerful nation.

It’s said that the Hidden Hot Water Village is allied with some religious forces within the Land of Hot Water, and even the Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water seeks good relations with the Hidden Hot Water Village.

Despite his own strength making him unafraid of small ninja villages, provoking them would indeed attract a great deal of trouble.
