"Meet the Root Leader."
cloud hidden
In Troy Vigon's house, Li Zhongren slowly crawled out from the ground. In the study, he was reading a book, flipping through it casually, because his main purpose was to wait for Li Zhongren's arrival. When he saw Li Zhongren coming, he put down the book, stood up and spoke.
"No need to be polite."
Li Zhongren looked at the man in front of him. Surprisingly, he had an impression of this person.
He is the magnetic ninja named Troy in the original work. Of course, in the animation, not only is his full name not shown, but also after being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, he appeared for only a few seconds before being crushed and sealed by Uzumaki Naruto's Rasengan.
But I didn't expect that he was actually an undercover agent of the Root.
However, considering that his name is Troy, it is surprisingly fitting.
Moreover, he has a more hidden identity, the younger brother of Danzo Shimura. Of course, he is not his biological brother, but his uncle's younger brother. He awakened the magnetic escape technique when he was a child, and at that time he was placed in the Land of Lightning as an undercover agent by Danzo Shimura's father.
Sure enough, relying on the special ability of magnetic escape, he climbed step by step to the position of director of the logistics and mineral department of Yunyin.
However, although this guy has good abilities, he has also inherited the self-centered character of the Shimura family. From Danzo's memory, we know that he is no longer willing to be controlled, but has to work for the Root because Danzo has the upper hand over him.
Therefore, before launching the Kumogakure plan, he deliberately monitored this guy. Sure enough, after this guy learned that Danzo was dead, his interest suddenly piqued, because Danzo was the only one who knew his identity. It could be said that he was free.
However, when he heard that Mitsuha Takanashi inherited the roots and activated the communication method, his expression instantly fell, as if he was performing a face-changing performance in Sichuan Opera, which made Li Zhongren couldn't help laughing.
However, in the original work, this guy died very early, and the reason was not explained. It could be that the information was leaked, he was secretly executed, or it could be some other reason. Of course, that doesn't matter. As Minato Namikaze said, if he came here and the history of this world remains the same as before, then his coming here would not be in vain.
"What, am I not welcome to come?"
Looking at Troy Vigong's bitter face, Li Zhongren joked.
"My subordinates dare not."
"You've been living pretty well in Kumogakure these years, haven't you?"
Li Zhongren looked at Troy Vicon, or rather Shimura Vicon's house. It couldn't be said to be magnificent, as that would be too ostentatious. However, if someone with good taste looked at it, they would know that the cost of his study alone was not a small amount.
"Thanks to the Genbu, it's OK."
"I think it's not bad. I heard that your two children also have good positions in Kumogakure."
"Please give your orders, sir. I will not refuse even if it means death."
Troy Vigour half-knelt on the ground, his face becoming more and more bleak. If the man in front of him was any other ninja, he would still plan to fight, for example, expose the other party's identity in exchange for leniency. But this man was the shadow killer of Konoha Shura, who had killed one of the four thousand men and protected the country. He alone defeated Kirigakure, one of the five major countries, without any ability to fight back. Later, some people analyzed that it was because Konoha Shura's moves were weird, and Kirigakure was killed by Hatsumi.
But, dead is dead. Can you still tell others on the battlefield that you have never seen this move before? Wait for me to study it, and then we can fight again? So, he had no intention of resisting at all. When the other party pointed out his two most beloved sons, his psychological defense line collapsed directly.
"I don't need you to die."
Li Zhongren put away the playful smile on his face.
"I just need you to do what you're doing now and do it to the extreme."
"Ah? I don't have any mission right now."
"Don't tell me that you bought this room full of century-old agarwood furniture with your one million taels of silver per year salary as the head of the Logistics and Minerals Department."
"."
"corruption."
After a while, Li Zhongren spoke lightly.
"You must embezzle a lot of money, and then use the embezzled money to bring you closer to Sailu Meiling. This is your entire mission. Do you understand?"
"My subordinate understands."
"Also, from today on, I will officially replace Mu Zi Zhongyi. As for him, I have already dealt with him."
"Ah this."
"After I reconnected with you, he fell from joy to sorrow just like you, but he was even more ruthless than you and planned to seek leniency by reporting you, so I killed him at the time and left a wooden clone as a replacement."
"Tick tock."
Troy Vigon felt his back get wet.
Killing a traitor is not a big deal, but do you want to listen to what he is saying? This guy is actually hiding beside Mu Zi Zhongyi, communicating with him remotely through the root. In other words, it is the same here.
"Fortunately, I didn't betray you."
This was the only thought in Troy Vigon's mind.——
Kumogakure, Raikage Building, first floor conference room.
The Third Generation Ai convened a Jonin Council.
In addition to representatives from the four major families of Kumogakure, those attending the meeting also included representatives from various small and medium-sized families, as well as senior ninjas from civilian ninjas.
"This time, I have three things to announce when the Jonin Council is convened."
"First, three days ago, my brother-in-law Bruhi, the former Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, caused the seal of the tailed beast to break due to personal reasons, causing considerable losses to the village. During this period, Namikaze Minato risked his life to lead the Eight-Tails out of the village, buying us precious time for rescue. Therefore, I decided to take Namikaze Minato as my adopted son and pass on to him the Lightning Release Chakra Training Technique and the Hell's Hand Series of Ninjutsu."
"Thank you for your cultivation, foster father. Minato will definitely make sufficient contributions to Kumogakure and the Land of Lightning." As he spoke, Namikaze Minato stood up, and the chakra all over his body crackled. Soon, a thick layer of chakra armor was condensed.
In an instant, the whispering voices disappeared.
Because all Kumogakure ninjas must learn Lightning Release Chakra Body Training Technique, the difference is that ordinary people can only learn the first and second stages, and only the Raikage himself can learn the true third stage, which is Lightning Release Chakra Outer Cloth.
But, then again, for most of the Lightning Ninjas, the third stage is of little significance, because most of them cannot even complete the first stage. Only after they have thoroughly mastered the second stage, they are qualified to learn Lightning Release: Chakra Coat.
But what did they see?
Three days
He skipped the first and second stages and directly condensed the Lightning Release Chakra Coat. Admittedly, his body might not be strong enough, but he had already made it to this point. The rest was nothing more than spending a little more time.
Seeing this, the Third Generation Ai nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Minato Namikaze's behavior. After all, this proved that his vision was sharp.
"Second, it is our Lightning Country's Frost Country Channel plan. I believe you all know about it in advance. I will not waste any more words here. I declare that we will use all the strength of Kumogakure and Lightning Country to implement this plan. Those who stand in the way will die. Then, the person in charge is my adopted son, Namikaze Minato."
"Third, Killer Bee will inherit his cousin's legacy and become the third generation of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure. He will be sent to Kame Island for training, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki will be accompanied by a wooden man to prevent Killer Bee from losing control."
"Lord Raikage, now there will be no jinchuuriki left in the village."
"It doesn't matter."
A bunch of jonin looked at each other, but in the end, no one said anything. Isn't there still the Raikage? He just beat up the Eight-Tails a few days ago. No, there is nothing.
"That's all I have to say. Do any of you have any questions? If not, then..."
"Godfather, I have some ideas that I would like to mention here."
"Oh? What do you think?"
The Sandai Ai asked with a curious look on his face.
"It's about the reform of Kumogakure. Actually, it can't be called a reform. It's more accurate to say it's a reorganization. After all, when the Frost Country Channel is successfully built in the future, Kumogakure's current economic model will no longer be applicable. In order to avoid this problem, I think it is necessary to reorganize in advance."
"Tell me."
"Yes."
"Regarding restructuring and reform, I have put forward the following points for your reference only."
"First."
Namikaze Minato picked up the plan in his hand, which was actually given to him by Li Zhongren and said.
"Establish the Kumogakure Bank, a special and independent economic department to manage the financial problems of Kumogakure, which may expand many times in the future. It has absolute power over the financial control of Kumogakure. The president will be Lord Raikage, and the vice presidents will be Lord Dodai, Lord Mabroth, and Lady Seleu Meiling. These three will help you, Lord Raikage, share your worries."
"Second, we need to establish a unified purchase and sales model. With the successful establishment of the Frost Country Channel in the future, there will inevitably be a boom in business, whether it is buying or selling. However, the biggest problem of our Thunder Country is the rugged mountain roads. The roads in many places are not easy to travel, and the transportation costs will increase infinitely. With the establishment of unified purchase and sales by our Yunyin, we can centrally purchase and sell goods to the greatest extent, which will open up a convenient door for the people of Thunder Country and Yunyin."
"good."
The Sandai Ai nodded, and looked at Namikaze Minato with even more passion. Before, he had said that he would give Namikaze Minato some more benefits, at least to give him the ability to fight against his wife. Now, the excuse came...
"Third, and what I think is the most important point, is to issue our own banknotes."
"Why? Isn't money made of chakra paper very useful?"
The third generation Ai couldn't help but ask curiously. He really didn't understand anything about economics.
"Godfather, chakra paper is very useful, but in the future, as the scale of trade increases, chakra paper will be insufficient. After all, chakra ore is a scarce commodity, and our Yunyin is a trading country with more imports than exports. Think about it, if the business gets bigger and bigger and more money is spent, what will happen?"
"A large amount of chakra paper has been leaked"
"Yes, chakra paper is money, but it is also a strategic resource. So, my idea is to collect all the chakra paper in the country of thunder and give them money of equal value without chakra ore. I will name it Thunder Coin. In this way, Kumogakure can concentrate all the chakra paper and control it more conveniently, so as to maintain a balance between inflow and outflow."
"But what if someone wants to buy foreign goods? People outside the Land of Thunder probably won't recognize Thunder Coins."
"This is exactly the fourth point I wanted to make, godfather."
Namikaze Minato continued.
"I call it foreign exchange control. Merchants in the country of Thunder who want to buy things abroad need to exchange their Thunder Coins for Chakra Paper, and then use the Chakra Paper to go abroad to buy things. But if there is no control, it is possible that some people will exchange a large amount of Chakra Paper and never come back, which is the so-called capital flight. Therefore, merchants who exchange Chakra Paper must go through layers of review to prevent a large outflow of Chakra Paper, which will lead to a serious shortage of foreign exchange reserves."
"So, that's why you said you wanted to build something. Kumogakure Bank?"
After listening to the four suggestions from Minato Namikaze, the eyes of the third generation Ai were shining. After all, anyone with a brain could tell that these four suggestions were good for Kumogakure, especially the issue of currency. If no one said anything, it would probably take a long time, or even until the Lightning Country ran out of currency, before they would react.
"Ah."
Namikaze Minato nodded.
"In addition to managing the economy of the Land of Lightning, the most important thing for the Kumogakure Bank is the printing and issuance of currency. After all, it is not something that ordinary ninja villages are qualified to do to prevent counterfeiting of simple paper money. Only the five major countries are qualified and capable of researching money that is not afraid of counterfeiting."
"Namikaze Minato listens to your orders."
"My subordinate is here."
"Although I will not implement the suggestions you mentioned immediately, but will conduct thorough verification, it is undeniable that they are absolutely beneficial to our Thunder Country. Therefore, I will reward you. This is the style of our Thunder Country. Reward for merit and punish for mistakes!"
The third generation Ai pondered for a moment and spoke.
"From today on, Namikaze Minato will be the director of the Inspectorate of Kumogakure Bank. He will be assigned a Kumogakure ninja force of 1,000 people to be responsible for inspecting the Kumogakure Bank that appears in the Land of Lightning in the future and ensuring that it acts in accordance with regulations."
"call"
Selyu Meiling, who was sitting next to the Sandai Ai, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a hint of danger flashed in her expressionless eyes.
She currently doesn't know what the bank can be used for. After all, it is still a plan that has not yet started. However, she knows the meaning of the word "inspector". With him around, she, the future vice president, will probably be controlled by him in every way. Moreover, she will have an operational ninja force of a thousand people as his subordinates.
This has already gone beyond the stage of buying people's hearts. To be frank, with this inspection team of 1,000 people, even if her husband died like this, almost no one dared to touch her.
"Ah"
Sailu Meiling's fingers were intertwined and fiddled with each other. She was not on guard against others, but against herself.
