Chapter 371 Monitoring the Wave Country (Ch 371)

Chapter 371: The Kingdom of Surveillance Waves

Naruto is still very kind. After hearing what Dazna said, he immediately forgave him and stood up to speak for him.

Just after Naruto finished begging for mercy, Kakashi, who was standing beside him, immediately scolded him in a stern tone:

“Naruto, the Hokage has his own way of handling things, don’t interrupt.”

Kakashi stood up because Naruto was his subordinate and he was half responsible for what Naruto did. Naruto was wrong to stand up before the Hokage even spoke.

The second one also pleaded for Naruto indirectly. He stood up and scolded Naruto. Even if the Hokage wanted to punish Naruto severely, he couldn’t say it.

Tsunade knew all about Kakashi’s tricks, but she didn’t intend to punish Naruto, so she ignored him.

However, when it comes to dealing with Dazna, we cannot just expel him from the village as Naruto said. If we do that, everyone will follow suit. With the precedent of Dazna, where is the dignity of Konoha Village if we don’t deal with them?

But if she dealt with a poor little guy like Dazna harshly, she would feel a little bit heartless and it would seem that she was inhumane.

Uchiha Qiushan also saw Tsunade’s dilemma. After a little thought, he took two steps forward and said:

“Hokage-sama, leave this matter to me. I will handle it.”

Tsunade looked up at Qiu Shanjun in surprise. In her impression, Qiu Shanjun was not the kind of person who meddles in other people’s business. He usually didn’t bother to deal with such trivial matters.

However, Tsunade was very happy that Uchiha Qiushan took over this matter. After all, Qiushan-kun was very reliable. As long as he took over this matter, he would definitely handle it well. As for the reason, Tsunade didn’t bother to care and just regarded it as Qiushan-kun’s whim.

Therefore, Tsunade nodded readily and said, “Since Minister Qiu Shan is willing to take care of this matter, I will leave it to you.”

When Naruto heard what Grandma Tsunade said, he quickly looked at Uchiha Qiushan and shouted pitifully:

“Kind uncle.”

Uchiha Qiushan nodded to Naruto, gave him a look to reassure him, then came in front of Dazna and looked down at him.

After hearing what the Hokage said, Dazna knew that his fate was in the hands of the man in front of him. He also knelt down and turned around, looking at him eagerly with pleading in his eyes.

Uchiha Qiushan ignored Dazna’s pitiful look and asked coldly:

“Dazna, right? I’m going to ask you something. If you’re lying, believe me, I’ll make sure you don’t even have a chance to speak again.”

After hearing what Qiu Shanjun said, Dazna naturally understood what he meant. If he lied again, at the very least, his tongue would be cut off. With this kind of injury, he would die from excessive blood loss if he was not careful.

To put it in a broader sense, they would be killed directly, and naturally they would not have the chance to speak.

Dazna understood the consequences and said quickly:

“Don’t worry, Minister. If I lie again, you will do whatever you want to me.”

Uchiha Qiushan looked at Dazna, nodded slightly, and asked:

“Dazna, Cardo has committed atrocities in your country of Waves. He has gone so far, and your country’s Daimyo doesn’t care?”

When Dazna heard what Uchiha Qiushan said, he looked at him in surprise, but he didn’t expect that the adult in front of him would ask such a question, but he still quickly explained:

“Your Excellency may not know that the Wave Country is just something we say to brag about ourselves. In fact, our Wave Country is a small island not far from the mainland. If you are good at swimming, you can swim from the island to the mainland.

The residents of the Land of Waves, that is, the residents of our small island, make a living by fishing.

Normally, we can come to land and exchange fish for some daily necessities, so our life is acceptable.

However, since Cardo came here, he has controlled the traffic on the sea, making it impossible for us to enter the land and survive. I was able to come to Konoha because I took advantage of the heavy fog and escaped from Cardo’s control.

Uchiha Qiushan touched his chin after hearing what Dazna said. He had doubts about the country of waves, and after hearing what Dazna said, he became more certain of his thoughts.

He looked at Dazna again and asked:

“Your Wave Country is so poor, why would Cardo go to your country? Or, after Cardo arrived there, did he do anything unusual?”

After hearing what Uchiha Qiushan said, Dazna thought for a moment and said:

“I seem to have heard someone mention that Cardo seems to want to build a factory on our island, a closed factory where no one knows what will be produced.”

Uchiha Qiushan Dazna’s words and nodded in understanding. Yes, a poor and remote place like the Land of Waves really has no other value except for the production, transportation and storage of some shady things.

But secretly, Cardo is a villain who is engaged in drug manufacturing and smuggling business. He wants to find a remote island close to the land and inconspicuous, just to build a secret base.

As for the residents of the island, if Qiu Shanjun guessed correctly, they were either recruited into the factory by Cardo for cheap wages, and once they entered, they could not get out until the last bit of value in them was squeezed out and then they were disposed of.

Or, just in case, it is possible that after the entire island is closed, the residents will be directly eliminated.

Anyway, once Cardo has the situation on the island under control, the island’s residents will no longer just have a hard time living.

Uchiha Qiushan looked at the old man in front of him who was looking at him eagerly, sighed in his heart, and said:

“In that case, your Wave Country doesn’t have a decent leader either. So, who has the highest prestige?”

When Dazna heard what Uchiha Qiushan said, it was as if he had grasped the last straw. His eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his hand and said nervously:

“Yes, I am the oldest, and the islanders are respectful to me. If there is anything, I can still make the decision.”

Uchiha Qiushan nodded in understanding, and just as he guessed, he continued:

“How about this, in view of your Wave Country’s deception of our Konoha Village and the false reporting of the mission level, from now on, your Wave Country will accept the jurisdiction of our Konoha Village.

No matter what business the residents of your Wave Country do, they must hand it over to Konoha Village for a cut, and Konoha Village will also send people to the Wave Country regularly to monitor your Wave Country’s accounts.”
