Chapter 180 Super-evolved Kakuzu, the war crisis caused by the Ponzi scheme!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Uchiha Nan looked at the latest intelligence sent by Kakuzu. The amount of money involved was huge, and the number of people involved was wide. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Land of Lightning were involved, asking for a share of the profits, and there was collusion between officials and businessmen.
The characteristics of insects!
The poor man's money is divided into 30% and 70%
The money of high-ranking officials and nobles was returned in full
Cough cough cough. Just kidding.
Kakuzu won't be so kind. He will cut them all off. Just keep them stable first.

Kakuzu has super evolved!
The more Uchiha Nan watched, the more frightened he became. He underestimated Kakuzu's pyramid scheme ability and the Ponzi scheme's ability to spread terror.

"Third generation Ai, you are fucked!!"

"Don't you have a brain?"

"You can even personally represent this kind of thing. Just wait for your own death. There's no hope for you!"

Uchiha Nan was a little troubled when he saw what Kakuzu had been doing recently. With the Raikage personally endorsing a Ponzi scheme, he wondered how many flying people would appear in the Hidden Cloud Village.

This has gone beyond the scope of my plan.

Uchiha Nan didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the property of this group of executioners who only knew how to kill was emptied.

However, Uchiha Nan did not intend to blame Kakuzu. After all, he was away from home and was not subject to military orders.
Oh, I should have known not to let Kakudu read so many economics books.

How careless!
Kakuzu's evolution speed was so fast, far beyond his imagination.

Now Konoha's plan must be adjusted.

Uchiha Nan called Nara Shikaon and handed him the information in his hand. After reading it, Nara Shikaon's face turned pale.

"Hokage, you are going too far this time. It has only been three years since the First Ninja World War. Is Konoha going to go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village again?"

Memories of the First Ninja World War appeared in Nara Shikaon's mind. That was the most painful era for ninjas.

The intensity of the wars in the ninja village system established by the first generation was simply unimaginable from the family struggles of the Warring States Period. It was like the explosive increase in killing efficiency brought about by industrialization.

The Hidden Cloud Village, which was cut off from the leeks, will definitely not let it go. It involves the transfer of personnel from three ninja villages. No matter how secretive the whereabouts of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sand Village are, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely find clues afterwards, and even without the need for actual evidence. The Hidden Cloud Village will point the finger at any suspected ninja village among Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sand Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village will definitely find a pressure relief valve. After all, if the internal conflicts in the Hidden Cloud Village are not resolved, it will definitely blow itself up.

Now there is good news and bad news in Konoha.

The bad news is that the Hidden Cloud Village will become a mad dog, biting whoever it catches.

The good news is that the enemies facing the Hidden Cloud Village are three wealthy hunters who are fully armed to the teeth.
"Lu Yuan, it has already happened. Once the Ponzi scheme starts, it cannot be stopped. The initial investment of the three ninja villages, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sandgakure, is too huge. I can't stop it now even if I want to."

If we stop now, I'm afraid the Iwagakure and Sandgakure villages will turn against us."

"Lu Yuan, although things are beyond my imagination, but maybe this is not a bad thing. Konoha is not as weak and surrounded by enemies as it was in the First Ninja World War.

The Iwagakure Village, the Sand Village, and us are grasshoppers tied to the same rope."

"I haven't forgotten the vengeance of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. Why don't we take this opportunity to unite with the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village and beat the fallen dog directly, so that the Cloud Village will never be able to recover!"

Uchiha Nan's expression turned gloomy.

Should we go all out and take this opportunity to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village?
Senju Tobirama, you died miserably, Nidaime Hokage!
"Hokage-sama, you make the decision."

Nara Shikayuan's head was buzzing. He was overwhelmed by such a big surprise given to him so early in the morning.

"The Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village have almost all known the news by now. They will be more anxious than us. They don't have the financial resources of Konoha."

"Hokage-sama, what do you want to do now?"

Nara Shikayuan's voice trembled, he felt that Uchiha Nan was planning to do something big again.

"Write a letter to inform them that the plan has changed. Konoha will increase its initial capital investment. We have to fight a war anyway, so we might as well make a bigger profit."

"Ask them if they want to increase the stakes. War is a waste of money. If we don't make a big profit now, it will be very easy to spend all the money we earn this time on the war budget later. This will not be worth the loss."

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikato nodded in agreement.

"Lu Yuan, don't be so nervous. The Ponzi scheme has just begun. The final harvest will probably be next year, or even the year after. It all depends on Kakuzu's ability.

However, if Kakuzu is in his current state, it will probably be around next year. We now have plenty of time to prepare for a war that is destined to be won."

"We are three against one. Konoha has never fought such a powerful war. Do you really think that the Hidden Cloud Village is Konoha and can fight one against three?"

Uchiha Nan comforted Nara Shikaon and told him not to be too nervous.

Anyway, the number of villages involved in this war is three to one!

The advantage is mine!

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikaon's expression relaxed a lot, encouraged by Uchiha Nan's confident look.

That’s true. Konoha has always been the one being beaten up, but now it can finally lead the team to beat up others.

Let’s not talk about the Iwagakure Village for now, the Sand Village and Konoha have always been in a honeymoon period.

Thanks to the Third Kazekage Masa who sacrificed his training time to do the hard work of gold mining and worked in two shifts to handle village affairs, after nearly three years of recuperation, the economy of the Sand Village began to develop positively.

As the economy improved, the villagers and ninjas gradually began to have a desire to consume. Konoha's industrial products flowed into the Sand Village in large quantities, and also promoted the use of new energy sources such as electricity and chakra in the Sand Village.

By the way, due to the widespread use of chakra and electricity as a new energy source, the business of buying and selling chakra is booming in the Sand Village.

It's really hard for an ordinary ninja to make a little money by selling chakra as a hobby.

Muye's poverty alleviation work is gradually going well. From the beginning when it was unilaterally losing money to gain publicity, the income and expenditure are now tending to be balanced, and it will be profitable in one or two years.

Afterwards, Uchiha Nan and Nara Shikato discussed the preparation of the war budget for a while. Konoha must take this opportunity to reserve as much war resources as possible.

Compared to the trivial things in the Hidden Cloud Village, Uchiha Nan is more concerned about the movements of Hanzo the Salamander.

"Is there any new information from the Rain Village recently?"

Uchiha Nan asked about the information about the Rain Country, and Salamander Hanzo was also eager to do something big.

He wanted to completely wipe out the daimyo and nobles of the Rain Country and establish the Ninja Country. This was a groundbreaking event, representing that the ninja community had to cast aside the labels on their bodies in the past and no longer be willing to be killing tools to carry out missions, but wanted to completely turn things around and become the masters of the country.

"Hokage-sama, according to the information sent by the Anbu ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander wants to unify all armed forces in the Land of Rain. He will accept all ninjas who have defected from other villages, ordinary wandering ninjas, or even ordinary samurai."

"Hanzo even lifted the restrictions on the secret ninjutsu of the Rain Village, sharing the low- and medium-end ninjutsu with these rabble." "The scale of the Rain Village is expanding rapidly."

Nara Shikaon reports the latest developments of the Rain Village to Uchiha Nan.

"Are you so hungry that you won't choose what to eat?"

Uchiha Nan admired the courage of Salamander Hanzo in his heart, what a madman he was.

Recruiting rebel ninjas is a taboo in every ninja village. Even Konoha has to do it secretly. However, Hanzo of the Salamander did it so blatantly. No wonder he could offend three big ninja villages at once and was beaten up fiercely by them.

Currently, there is only one ninja village in the ninja world that can enjoy this honor, and that is Konoha.

I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse that the Land of Rain can give birth to a person like Hanzo the Salamander.
Salamander Hanzo is really too extreme
What Uchiha Nan wanted was a new-style ninja who was well-educated, had firm ideas, and had rich grassroots experience.

Uchiha Nan didn't know what the quality of the ninjas in the Rain Village was like in the past.

But the rabble that Salamander Hanzo has bought recently are almost all social scum who have done all kinds of evil. They are just a bunch of scum. If we shoot them all, there will be innocent people, and if we shoot every other one, there will definitely be some that slip through the net.

This group of social scum who only know how to chop people, instead of the insects of the Rain Country, enjoy the happiness of power, I am afraid they will drain the pond to catch fish and become even more aggressive.
A country ruled by mere military men will only make a mess of it. If you look down on the entire country and see that the top leaders who control the people's livelihood are a group of guys who have not received many years of education and can only pick up a few butcher knives to chop people, it would be too tragic.

Uchiha Nan was a little stunned for a moment. The future of the Rain Country needs to be tested by practice.

However, for Konoha, this is a great thing. Using a country like the Rain Country to conduct a large-scale social experiment can help Konoha avoid many detours.

Now Konoha really has to cross the river to the Rain Country by feeling its way.

But Uchiha Nan did not intend to be just a bystander. He wanted to write a letter to Salamander Hanzo, advising him to slow down.

If we really want to get rid of the nobles, ideological education is the most fundamental thing.

As for whether Hanzo of the Salamander can listen to it, that is his own business.

Half a day later.
Sand Hidden Village

Mosha, who was panning for gold in the desert, received a letter from Kakuzu, which detailed the progress of the Ponzi scheme.

After watching Mosha, I was so excited that I almost exploded.

Kakuzu, how dare you do such a thing!
Don’t want your head anymore?

Ōnoki, who was far away in the Iwagakure Village, also received Kakuzu's letter at about the same time. He was so anxious after reading it that he sprained his waist.

The situation has far exceeded their imagination.

This could turn into a war if you’re not careful!
Naruto, where is the Naruto!

Things are getting serious!

That night, Masa and Ohnoki wrote a letter to Uchiha Kusunoki, asking him how the matter should be resolved.

They all had a hand in this matter, and no one wanted to face the wrath of the Hidden Cloud Village alone.

Uchiha Nan soon received letters from the two of them, and as he expected, compared to Konoha, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village were the ninja villages that should be anxious.

Konoha's current financial situation allows it to afford another Ninja World War, but the same cannot be said for Iwagakure and Sandagakure. They cannot afford to waste time, and the villages will be declared bankrupt after the war.

Uchiha Nan wrote his thoughts in two letters and told them to Masa and Oonoki.

The initial investment in the Ponzi scheme was huge, and we absolutely cannot let it go to waste. We must carry it out no matter what.

Since things have gotten out of hand, they might as well make things bigger. Konoha's investment should be doubled, and a complete profit should be made. Then, the money from the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village should be used to attack the Hidden Cloud Village.

Konoha just wanted to take this opportunity to avenge the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

As for whether Oonoki and Mosa should make additional investments, Uchiha Nan gave them enough time to consider this issue.

Anyway, none of the three ninja villages can escape responsibility. The Hidden Cloud Village, which has been cheated, will turn into a mad dog and bite whoever it catches.

The weakest and poorest ninja village will naturally bear the greatest pressure.

After receiving a reply from Uchiha Nan, Oonoki felt as if he had fallen into a trap carefully designed by Uchiha Nan.

Konoha's real purpose is not to exploit the Land of Thunder and the Hidden Cloud Village, but to take this opportunity to destroy the Hidden Cloud Village.

As for Uchiha Nan's explanation in the letter, I didn't expect Kakuzu's work ability to be so outstanding, and he underestimated the harm of the Ponzi scheme.
Ohnoki and Masa didn't believe a word of this bullshit.

But this is the fact. Uchiha Nan really didn't expect Kakuzu to super evolve!
But. Do the Iwagakure and Sandgakure still have any choice?
Obviously not.

You have already boarded Konoha's pirate ship. If you jump off the ship now, you will be regarded as a clown, and then kicked off the ship by Konoha, and finally drowned in the river.

Oonoki didn't sleep all night and greeted Uchiha Kusunoki's mother hundreds of times in his heart.

He really regretted that he had abandoned his good dark-skinned buddies from the Hidden Cloud Village for the sake of temporary wealth, and now he was going to use his good dark-skinned buddies' money to fight them. This was truly... a beast.

That's all.
Ohnoki was shocked that Uchiha Nan's scheming was so deep. Now that he had boarded Uchiha Nan's pirate ship, there was no way he could get off. He could only go down this path until the end.

When the Ponzi scheme finally collapsed and the harvest was over, the Hidden Cloud Village turned into a mad dog and faced the counterattacks of the three ninja villages.

Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sandagakure three against one
The outcome is already clear, and the Hidden Cloud Village is unlikely to be able to recover.

The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its kind.

Today is the Hidden Cloud Village, so which ninja village will be the next to be targeted by Konoha?
Now Konoha and the Sand Village are as close as brothers, and Konoha will definitely not have any ideas about attacking the Sand Village.

It can't be the Hidden Mist Village, right? The Hidden Mist Village is isolated overseas, it's an island!
The next target is probably the Iwagakure Village.

Overt conspiracy. Overt conspiracy.
Ōnoki was filled with a feeling of powerlessness. Konoha was truly terrifying.

A sleepless night. Time passed quietly.

When it was dawn, Oonoki's eyes were bloodshot and he took out paper and pen to write back to Uchiha Nan.

"Dear Hokage, I agree with your plan."

Ohnoki finally agreed to Uchiha Nan's plan. He had to solve the current problem and find a way to preserve the Hidden Cloud Village as much as possible in the future.
Not only that, Masa, the Kazekage of Sand Village.
He probably doesn't want Konoha to be the only village in power, right?
