Chapter 029: Doing Business Is Not as Fast as Robbery

The dying man was taken aback by Wang Bo's question.

But soon, he understood something.

"So... that's it... I'm... going... to die... ah."

His voice grew weaker, and fear of death instantly spread through his heart, so he couldn't help but begin to struggle.

"No... no... don't... I... don't... want to die!"

But no matter how he struggled, he ultimately could not avoid heading toward the end, and finally his soul left its shell, departing from this body.

At the same time, the vitality of this body gradually faded.

Wang Bo certainly could not let this body lose its vitality, so he began to mobilize the Force to repair the injuries this body had sustained.

What is the Force?

The Force is a supernatural and omnipresent mysterious power, an energy field created by all living things.

This thing exists not only in the Star Wars universe but also in other worlds. It's just that people in the Star Wars universe are special, able to sense the Force, absorb the Force, and use the Force.

Wang Bo had learned techniques for using the Force; even with just a sliver of consciousness, he could mobilize the Force and begin slowly repairing the damage this body had suffered.

First, he stimulated the internal organs to keep them from ceasing to function.

Next, he repaired the internal organs, then stopped the bleeding, restoring vitality to the body.

Finally, he mended the broken bones and healed the wounds.

After this series of operations, the person was essentially saved.

Then Wang Bo's consciousness took over the brain of this body, checking the brain's memories while beginning to attempt to control the body.

Before long, Wang Bo had absorbed this guy's memories.

It turned out that the dead man was named Igarashi Chiba, an ordinary merchant from the Land of Fire, whose family had been in the spice business for generations.

But not long ago, this man named Igarashi Chiba had found a batch of high-grade spices and wanted to enter Konohagakure in the Land of Fire to sell them.

However, no one expected that on the road, they encountered a group of ninjas.

Without a word, these ninjas attacked Igarashi Chiba and his group.

Including Igarashi Chiba, everyone died unnatural deaths.

Igarashi Chiba was hit directly by a water bullet, shattering most of his bones. Just before dying, he was possessed by Wang Bo, benefiting Wang Bo.

Based on these memories, Wang Bo quickly understood what kind of world he had entered.

Without a doubt, he had entered Naruto.

If the Land of Fire alone wasn't enough to confirm it, then adding Konohagakure and the ninjas who killed Igarashi's group was sufficient to determine that this world was the Naruto world.

This surprised Wang Bo while also exciting him.

Because he knew the plot of this world, he could easily become stronger, then find the reincarnation of the Silver Surfer's consciousness and effortlessly kill it.

If at first Wang Bo was seventy percent confident in winning this round,

then now he was ninety percent confident.

He had already locked in victory for this round.

After fully absorbing all of Igarashi Chiba's memories, Wang Bo finally managed to successfully control this guy's body and slowly stood up from the ground. He moved his hands and feet, noticing a delay in signals, making his limbs somewhat sluggish.

But that didn't matter; Wang Bo believed that before long, he would be able to fully control this body.

To command it as if it were his own.

Wang Bo let out a breath and looked around, finding himself in a dense forest.

But all around him were blood and corpses.

The pungent smell of blood in the air made Wang Bo frown involuntarily. These corpses were all members of the Igarashi merchant caravan, twelve people in total, all dead by violence.

Beside the corpses were two wagons. The wagons should have contained the high-grade spices, but now they were gone, obviously taken by those ninjas.

Based on the scene in Igarashi Chiba's memory and the remaining traces at the site, Wang Bo judged that this was a simple case of murder for profit.

A group of ninjas had targeted Igarashi Chiba's high-grade spices and ambushed him on the road.

Thus, everyone, including Igarashi Chiba, died tragically.

As for why these ninjas targeted Igarashi Chiba's caravan, first, because Igarashi Chiba's spices were indeed top-notch, with two wagonloads worth millions of ryo.

As for the second reason, of course, it was because these ninjas were not legitimate ninjas.

Wang Bo could see clearly from Igarashi Chiba's memories that there were three ninjas, wearing headbands with the Leaf symbol but with a scratch through the middle.

Clearly, this was the mark of rogue ninjas.

These people were all traitors to Konoha.

Having lost the big tree of Konoha, to make a living, these people could only resort to petty theft and the like, after all, aside from killing, ninjas rarely engaged in other work.

Not because they were unwilling, but because they didn't know how.

Konoha had a school, true, but it was a ninja academy, teaching from childhood the chakra extraction technique, the basic three jutsu, shuriken throwing, taijutsu, human weak points, monster weak points, and so on...

In other words, the ninja academy taught the knowledge that ninjas needed to learn.

And what ninjas learned was either killing or interrogation.

So after these ninjas grew up, besides fighting and killing, what else did they know?

Thus, even after leaving Konoha, these rogue ninjas, aside from killing, rarely mastered any useful skill.

Of course, they could learn if they didn't know.

With a ninja's skills and the help of chakra, they should be good at learning anything and would never starve.

But the problem was, having been taught killing techniques from childhood and having warped values, would these ninjas, even after becoming rogue ninjas, patiently learn other skills and become merchants?

Heh, being a merchant is not as fast as robbery.

For instance, this time, they only killed twelve ordinary merchants and directly robbed a batch of high-grade spices, earning several million ryo.

If they did business, how long would it take to earn those millions, and how much effort would they need to put in?

Therefore, in the eyes of many ninjas,

doing business is not as fast as robbery.

Moreover, they were already rogue ninjas; Konohagakure would not let them off. They lived day by day; who the hell would honestly do business?

But while understanding this, Wang Bo did not consider it legal, nor did he consider it just.

Although Igarashi Chiba ultimately said nothing and died on the spot,

Wang Bo still decided to avenge this guy and kill the three rogue ninjas from Konoha.
