"Hokage, this is the war preparation plan. If there are no problems, you can sign and execute it." In the office, Uchiha Tomita respectfully handed Uchiha Nan the plan for dealing with the war in Konoha. Uchiha Nan roughly flipped through it and was not interested in the specific measures. The war has been going on for so long, and the people under him have been extremely skilled in making war plans, which are basically the same. Uchiha Nan only cares about how much money it will cost. Fighting a war means burning money. If you have money, you can show it off. You can fight as long as you want. "Four and a half billion taels?" Uchiha Nan sighed. Although he was well prepared, he was still amazed. This was still the initial preparation. The most terrible thing was that it had reached the point of attrition war, which was the most torturous. Using human lives to consume, the money is still burning. Fortunately, this war will not last too long. Uchiha Nan signed his signature, and Konoha's Ministry of Finance could transfer the money. I don't know how Nara Shikaon and Hinata Takuma's plan is going. Uchiha Nan has not been eating well or sleeping well these days, just waiting for good news from them.
Uchiha Nan's anxiety did not last long, and the ninja of the Anbu brought Nara Shikaon's letter. Everything went well, the daimyo has agreed, and the only thing left is execution. Nara Shikaon applied to dispatch a team of Anbu ninjas to help. There may be a lot of people to kill recently. Uchiha Nan naturally agreed. Sending Anbu ninjas is a bit of a waste of talent. They are just dealing with a group of ordinary people who just have power. What is power in the face of violence? The daimyo has endorsed it, so killing them is justified! For more than a month, Uchiha Nan and Nara Shikaon kept exchanging letters to inform Uchiha Nan of the progress of the matter. Nara Shikaon only reported good news, not bad news. The description of the difficult part in the letter was not detailed, but Uchiha Nan still saw the complexity of the matter from it. The network of relationships between the nobles and merchants was too complicated. Anyone who could do such a big business as pig iron would be good at something. Some nobles even brought up the name of Uchiha. They were old customers of Uchiha and had a good relationship with Uchiha. They wanted to rely on the name of Uchiha to refuse to execute. In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Nara Shikayuan specially asked Uchiha Nan for instructions. For such people, Uchiha Nan still said one thing: only the result, not the process. Then Nara Shikayuan understood, start killing! Killing is of course a helpless choice. If it can be solved peacefully, it should be solved peacefully. Everyone's goal is to make money. There is no need to make the ground full of blood. Otherwise, Uchiha Nan would not have sent Hinata Takuma over. Their family is very tolerant and good at communication. They have a good relationship with the nobles and big businessmen of the Land of Fire. Most of them will give Hinata Takuma a face. After all, pig iron futures are not bad for them. They can greatly speed up the pig iron trade, make the price transparent, and reduce the number of merchants who want to profit from the information gap. But there are always people who are blind. No wonder Nara Shikato is cruel and sends each of them a shuriken to see the Six Paths Sage. Some merchants are not afraid of death and even hire bounty hunters to attack Nara Shikato and Hinata Takuma. For such stubborn elements, not only will they die, but their whole family will die. After more than a month of extremely complicated and painful negotiations and chopping people, Nara Shikato and Hinata Takuma finally integrated all the channels in the Fire Country, and there is even a trend to unify the pig iron prices in the Fire Country, which makes Uchiha Nan feel pleasantly surprised. But Uchiha Nan did not stop there. He wanted to do more and pave the way for the future. The Iron Country is one of the largest sources of iron ore production in the Ninja World, occupying almost the entire third floor of the Ninja World. Uchiha Nan intends to extend his tentacles to the Iron Country.
However, Nara Shikayuan poured cold water on Uchiha Nan's idea, saying that it was really beyond his reach. Although it is a bit hard and cumbersome to integrate channels in the Fire Country, with the endorsement of the Daimyo, everything is legal, and the ninja can execute it legitimately. If it is cross-border, it will involve diplomacy. It is not realistic for Konoha's ninjas to kill people at will in the Iron Country, and the Daimyo will not support it. Uchiha Nan expressed deep regret for this, but did not give up. If the martial arts are not good, then the literary numbness can be used. They can invite them to join the Fire Country channel. The Fire Country is the richest country in the Ninja World, and they will not give up such a large market. When they arrive at the territory of the Fire Country, they must implement the rules of the Fire Country. Uchiha Nan sat in the Hokage's office, and he was finally relieved. The preparations have been completed. Just waiting for the attack from the Kirigakure and Iwagakure villages, it will probably take some time, the war between the big ninja villages is not something that can be started on a whim, it involves huge mobilization, intelligence, and material purchases. The spies planted in the two ninja villages are delivering messages every day, there are many secret techniques for delivering messages in the ninja world, the most typical one is to use summoning beasts, which can achieve the fastest message delivery. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing! The Land of Fire A certain gold exchange place is full of people from all walks of life, rebel ninjas, downtrodden samurai, thieves. There are all kinds of people. A middle-aged man with a weird appearance, wearing black clothes all over his body, with a circle of linear sutures on his exposed arms, and dark green pupils walked in, holding a dead head in his hand. As soon as he walked into the gold exchange, the noisy gold exchange immediately became silent, for fear of offending him and causing death. Bang, he threw the head onto the counter of the money exchange. The remaining blood spattered the face of the person in charge, but the originally sinister person in charge put on a smile. "Kakuzu-sama, the mission has been completed again. You are worthy of being a well-known gold medal bounty hunter in the ninja world!" "Give me money." Kakuzu didn't pay attention to the compliment from the person in charge, he just wanted to get paid now. "Okay." The person in charge hurriedly verified his identity, and after confirming that the dead head in front of him was the target of hunting, he hurriedly exchanged the bounty for Kakuzu. Six large boxes of banknotes were put on the table and placed in front of Kakuzu. Kakuzu opened a box. There was a hundred thousand taels in each box, filled to the brim with money. The mission he took on this time was not that difficult. He was a small nobleman, and he had a few chuunin and a special jounin to protect him. This was easy for him to do. “It smells so good” Kakuzu picked up a banknote, took a deep breath, savored it carefully, and let out a sigh of appreciation. In this world, only banknotes are the most beautiful and the most trustworthy things! Kakuzu collected the banknotes, accepted another reward, and planned to continue making money. After walking out of the money exchange, I went to the weapons store as usual to sell the weapons of the killed ninjas. It's a good habit to touch corpses. The rookie has a lot of stationery, a lot of shurikens, kunai, and even detonating charms, which can be sold for tens of thousands of taels. Kakuzu lamented that he was really good at making money and managing his family well. weapon shop
"Have you heard? The pig iron business in the Fire Country has been greatly affected. The big shots above have launched a futures business." ".That's good. The price is also transparent. It will be convenient for us to purchase goods in the future." "It's smaller, and the layout is smaller. The group of businessmen who originally planned to stock up on pig iron and speculate on the price are now planning to speculate on futures." "Harm, so what. Now that Konoha and Kumogakure have signed a peace agreement, the two most powerful ninja villages are no longer fighting, and the price of pig iron has dropped two or three times. I don't think it can be done." "I don't think so. There is a lot of potential in futures trading. You can definitely make a lot of money." The customers of the weapon shop chatted with the boss. With the cooperation between Konoha and the Fire Country, pig iron futures have spread in the industry, and exchanges responsible for this futures trading have sprouted all over the Fire Country. Kakuzu bargained with the waiter at the weapons store, trying to raise the price. The owners of second-hand goods always wanted to lower the price. What a black-hearted businessman! "What are pig iron futures?" This was the first time Kakuzu heard this term. As a ninja, he would inevitably deal with weapons, and he knew about pig iron. However, Kakuzu didn't care at first. With his strength, he generally didn't need weapons like kunai and shuriken. He felt that buying these was a waste. money. Originally, Kakuzu was not very interested in pig iron futures, but when he heard the words "make big money", Kakuzu's eyes lit up.
