Chapter 71 Can Kakuzu Futures Make a Lot of Money? Then I Must Find Out!

"Hokage-sama, this is the plan for war preparation. If there are no problems, you can sign and execute it."

In the office, Uchiha Tomita respectfully handed Uchiha Nana Konoha's plan to deal with the war. Uchiha Nana glanced through it and was not interested in the specific measures.

The war has been going on for so long that the people under our command have become extremely skilled in making war plans, and they are all basically the same.

Uchiha Nan only cares about how much money it will cost. War means spending money, and if you have money you can show it off and fight as long as you want.

"Four and a half billion taels?"

Uchiha Nan sighed. Although he was well prepared, he was still shocked. This was still the initial preparation. The most terrible thing was when it came to a war of attrition, which was the most torturous.

Using human lives to consume, money is still burning.
Fortunately, this war will not last long.

After Uchiha Nan signed his name, Konoha's Finance Department could transfer the money.

I don’t know how Nara Shikato and Hinata Takuma’s plan is going. Uchiha Nan has not been able to eat or sleep well these days. He is waiting for good news from them.

Uchiha Nan's anxiety did not last long, as a ninja from the Anbu brought a letter from Nara Shikaon.

Everything went smoothly. The daimyo had agreed, and all that was left was the execution. Nara Shikaon requested to dispatch a team of Anbu ninjas to help, as there might be too many people to kill recently.

Uchiha Nan naturally agreed. Sending Anbu ninjas would be a waste of talent as they were only dealing with a group of ordinary people who just had power.

What is power in the face of violence?

Since the big names have endorsed it, it is justified to kill them!
Over the next month, Uchiha Nan and Nara Shikaon kept exchanging letters, informing Uchiha Nan of the progress of the matter.

Nara Shikaon only reported good news and not bad news, and the difficult part of the letter was not described in detail, but Uchiha Nan still saw the complexity of the matter.

The network of relationships between those nobles and merchants is so complicated that anyone who can do such a big business as pig iron must have some skills.

Some nobles even brought up the name of Uchiha, saying that they were old customers of Uchiha and had a good relationship with Uchiha, and wanted to rely on the name of Uchiha to refuse to execute the order.

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Nara Shikaon specially asked Uchiha Nan for instructions. Uchiha Nan had the same thing to say to this kind of person: he only cares about the result, not the process.

Then Nara Shikayuan understood and started killing!

Killing is of course a helpless choice. If it can be resolved peacefully, then do it peacefully. Everyone's goal is to make money. There is no need to make the ground covered in blood.

Otherwise, Uchiha Nan would not have sent Hinata Takuma over. Their family is very patient and good at socializing. They also have good relations with the nobles and big businessmen of the Fire Country, and most of them would give Hinata Takuma face.

After all, pig iron futures have no disadvantages for them. They can greatly speed up the pig iron trade, make prices transparent, and reduce the number of merchants who want to profit from information asymmetry.
But there are always people who are blind. No wonder Nara Shikayuan was so cruel and gave each of them a shuriken to meet the Six Paths Sage.

Some businessmen 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 entire family will die.

After more than a month of extremely complicated and painful negotiations and sabotage, Nara Shikato and Hyuga Takuma finally integrated all the channels within the Fire Country. There was even a trend of unifying the price of pig iron within the Fire Country, which was a pleasant surprise to Uchiha Nan.

However, Uchiha Nan did not stop there. He wanted to do more and pave the way for the future.

The Land of Iron is one of the largest sources of iron ore production in the Ninja World, occupying almost three layers of the entire Ninja World. Uchiha Nan intends to extend his tentacles to the Land of Iron.

However, Nara Shikayuan poured cold water on Uchiha Nan's idea, thinking it was really beyond his reach.

Although integrating channels in the Fire Nation is a bit difficult and tedious, with the endorsement of the daimyo, everything is legal and the ninja can carry out its tasks with justification.

If it is a cross-border issue, it will involve diplomacy. It is not realistic for Konoha's ninja to kill people at will in the Iron Country, and the daimyo will not support it.

Uchiha Nan expressed deep regret about this, but he did not give up. If he couldn't use force, he would try literary means. He could invite them to join the Fire Country, which is the richest country in the ninja world. They would not give up such a big market.

When you arrive at the territory of the Fire Nation, you must follow the rules of the Fire Nation.

Uchiha Nan sat in the Hokage's office, finally breathing a sigh of relief as the preparations had been completed.

Just waiting for the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village to attack. 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 their two ninja villages are transmitting messages every day. There are many secret techniques for transmitting messages in the ninja world. The most typical one is the use of summoning beasts, which can achieve the fastest message transmission.

Everything is ready, only east wind is missing! Fire Nation

A certain gold exchange place is filled with all kinds of people, including rebel ninjas, down-and-out samurai, thieves, and all kinds of people.

A middle-aged man with a strange appearance, dressed in black, with a circle of linear sutures on his exposed arms and dark green pupils, walked in with a dead head in his hand.

As soon as he walked into the gold exchange, the originally noisy gold exchange office immediately became silent, for fear of angering him and bringing about fatal disaster.

With a "bang", he threw the head onto the counter of the gold exchange. The remaining blood splattered on the face of the person in charge, but the originally ferocious person in charge put on a smile.

"Lord Kakuzu, another mission accomplished. You are worthy of being the famous gold medal bounty hunter in the ninja world!"

"Give me money."

Kakuzu ignored the compliment from the person in charge, he just wanted to get his reward.

"okay."

The person in charge hurriedly verified the identity of the dead head in front of him, and after confirming that it was the hunted target, he quickly exchanged the bounty for Kakuzu.

Six large boxes of banknotes were brought onto the table and placed in front of Kakuzu. Kakuzu opened a box, which was filled to the brim with 100,000 taels of money.

The mission he accepted this time was not difficult. The mission was against a small noble who was protected by a few Chunins and a special Jonin. This made it an easy task for him.

“It smells so good”

Kakuzu picked up a bill and took a deep sip, savoring it carefully before letting out a sigh of approval.

In this world, only money is the most beautiful and trustworthy thing!
Kakuzu collected the money and accepted another bounty to continue making money.

After leaving the gold exchange, he went to the weapons shop as usual to sell the weapons of the killed ninjas.

Touching corpses is a good habit. Newbies have a lot of stationery, including a lot of shurikens, kunai, and even detonating talismans, which can be sold for tens of thousands of taels.

Kakuzu sighed that he was really good at making money and managing the household.

Weapon Shop

"Have you heard that there is a big earthquake in the pig iron business of the Fire Country? The big shots there have come up with a futures business."

".That's good, the price is transparent, and it will be convenient for us to purchase goods in the future."

"It's too small, the pattern is too small. The merchants who originally planned to stock up pig iron to speculate on the price are now planning to speculate in futures."

"Well, so what? Now Konoha and Kumogakure have signed a peace agreement. The two most powerful ninja villages have stopped fighting. The price of pig iron has dropped two or three times. I don't think it will work."

"I don't think so. There is a lot of potential in futures trading. You can definitely make a lot of money."

The customers and the owner of the weapons shop were chatting casually. With the cooperation of Konoha and the Fire Nation, pig iron futures have spread in the industry, and exchanges responsible for this futures trading have sprung up all over the Fire Nation.

Kakuzu bargained with the waiter at the weapons shop, 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 had to deal with weapons and was familiar with pig iron.

However, Kakuzu didn't care at first. With his strength, he generally didn't need weapons like kunai and shuriken. He thought it was a waste to buy them.
money.

Originally, Kakuzu was not very interested in pig iron futures, but when he heard the words "making a lot of money", Kakuzu's eyes lit up.
