Chapter 268 Uchiha Nan: Why do you all think that I am the mastermind who likes to manipulate the wo

Konoha, Ministry of Finance meeting room.

Kakuzu sat in the main seat and looked around at everyone in the room. Most of them were wealthy merchants from the Land of Fire, and a small number of them were wealthy merchants from the Ninja World. Each of them held a Konoha green card and had already joined Konoha.

Everyone is a giant in their respective industries!
The faces of the wealthy businessmen lit up as they were all looking forward to the big business that Kakuzu mentioned.

This business deal can be personally prepared by Kakuzu, the big boss of Konoha’s Ministry of Finance.

And the one sitting next to Kakuzu.
Wearing a mask and white hair, it should be the legendary Konoha Scythe!

Very good!
It's the Konoha Scythe!!
This deal must be extraordinary!
They are bound to make a fortune this time!

"Is everyone here?"

"Well, one more is missing."

Hatake Sakumo counted the list and found that there was one person missing.

"Lord Kakuzu, we are just one person short, why don't you just get started with today's topic."

"Yeah, it's a waste of time for so many of us to wait for him alone."

The wealthy merchants were talking about it for a while, and it was obvious that they did not want to add any more participants.

Kakuzu glanced at the watch on his hand. According to the agreement, the meeting had already started for three minutes, but someone had not yet arrived. He immediately looked worried.

Whether as a bounty hunter or a qualified businessman.

In Kakuzu's eyes, time is money!

He hates people who are late the most!
"Sorry, sorry I'm late!"

A wealthy merchant hurried into the room.

Looking at the people in the room, he quickly smiled and began to apologize.

"What's going on? You're three minutes late!"

"Sorry, traffic jam, traffic jam."

"Traffic jam?"

"What car do you take?"

"Mazda!"

"You drive a Mazda, no wonder you get stuck in traffic. Everyone else drives a Mercedes-Benz produced by Konoha, which is a waste of effort. If you still drive a Mazda next time, then don't cooperate with Konoha anymore!"

"Yes, yes, I will change it immediately when I get back."

Kakuzu said as he poured himself some tea and started today's meeting.

"Lord Kakuzu, the reason why we were all called here this time is..."

“Soybeans.”

As Kakuzu spoke, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

“Soybeans?”

The wealthy merchants looked at each other in surprise.

According to the information they have, the production of soybeans has been increasing in the past two years. With their power, if they unite to do soybean business, they can indeed make some money.

But this little money.
But it is not enough for the people in this room to share. Instead of doing the soybean business, it is better to plan the "Tulip Project" that Lord Kakuzu mentioned in private last time.

And considering the reputation of Konoha Scythe.
Doing ordinary soybean business is simply a disgrace to him!
"You may not know that all the soybean seeds on the market in the ninja world now come from the seed company of Konoha. The soybean seeds sold by Konoha can only be planted once, which means they cannot be used as second-generation seeds."

When the wealthy merchants present heard what Kakuzu said, their eyes lit up instantly.

He already knew what Jiao was going to say.

The means of making money is also extremely simple, grasp the information gap!
If Konoha cuts off the supply of soybean seeds, the soybean yield will inevitably drop sharply, or even fail. As long as they act as the market maker, they can purchase large quantities of soybeans in advance and then raise the price of soybeans.

A set of small combos so simple that even a fool can perform it.

There is just one downside.
That is, doing this kind of business is likely to result in the birth of a son without sperm!

But okay
Almost all the wealthy businessmen present have already given birth to sons, and some have even several.

"Since everyone agrees, let's allocate regions. The Fire Country and the Land of Rice will continue to supply soybean seeds as normal, but the rest of the Ninja Realm will be cut off from supply. You will purchase as much soybean as possible from these regions."

"Now let me assign the areas."

"Little White Hair, you represent Konoha and are in charge of the largest area."

"You and you. You are the Land Nation."

"The Kingdom of Thunder is up to you"

Seeing that everyone had understood what he meant, Kakuzu didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to the point of assigning tasks.

Konoha
Hokage Office..
Uchiha Nan sat in his chair, looking through the information coming from the ninja world.

First is the Rain Village and the Four Ninja Alliance.

The daimyo have already noticed something.

After all, battle reports may lie, but the battle lines will not lie.

Why do so many ninjas die in the Rain Village every day, and your Four-Ninja Alliance is still on the outskirts of the Rain Country?
They couldn’t even capture an important camp town in Rain Village?

The daimyo secretly sent people to investigate.

Damn it!
Oh my god!!

The ninjas from the Four-Ninja Alliance were actually eating in a small restaurant opened in Konoha with the ninjas from the Rain Village?

Fighting hard on the battlefield in the morning and eating together at noon?
Are you making a movie?

Daimyo is just slow in reaction, but he is not stupid. He has figured out the meaning by now!
With this period of time
You bunch of damn ninjas have been acting the whole time and have swindled so much war funds.

It's so deceiving!

"It looks like the daimyo are going to take some action."

Uchiha Nan finished reading the information.

Thinking in my heart
Paper cannot hold fire.

If the Rain Village and the four major ninja villages act together to defraud funds, they will definitely be exposed.

The key is after the thunderstorm.
The daimyo will definitely find a way to fight back.

Either they use the connections they have accumulated in the ninja village to influence the decision of the Kage, or they will think of various ways to disgust the four major ninja villages, including but not limited to economic coercion.

The most direct and effective way is to cut off the funding of the four major ninja villages.

If they don't work for them, then they won't be given funding, and the number of ninja tasks assigned will be reduced, and the commissions for ninja tasks will be lowered.

With this series of moves, the ninja village will definitely have a hard time.

The four major ninja villages have only just begun their transformation, investing heavily in factories and starting large-scale construction projects, which requires a lot of funds and cash flow.

At this time, once the supply is cut off
The cash flow was accidentally cut off again.
That would be great fun.

So many ninjas who have been freed from work rely on missions to make a living.

If ninjas need to survive, develop and eat, the ninja village is the first responsible party!
If our brothers can't afford to eat, don't blame us for defecting out of loyalty.

"Let's make some noise. Let's make some noise."

"The bigger the noise, the better."

Uchiha Nan laughed maliciously.

The road to transformation of the ninja village is bound to be a difficult one, unless
The ninjas suddenly became sane!
Learn to use a knife to talk to daimyos and nobles and get your first pot of gold.

But it is impossible to think about it. Limited by traditional thinking, ninjas have been accustomed to being submissive. It must be a long process for them to awaken, so there must be all kinds of tugs and pulls in the middle. It is not an easy thing to break the old order and create a new order.

Before this
The daimyo could use money to bribe many ninjas to work for them, and could even use their money to make the position of Kage uneasy.

Ninjas have always existed as tools.

It's a simple truth: you serve whom you feed.

The shadow makes their life difficult
If the daimyo are willing to pay to make them rich, it is not impossible for them to change their allegiance.

not to mention.
The daimyos still have a sense of righteousness.

understandable
But for Konoha
Either the daimyo of the four great ninja villages will be in trouble, or the four great ninja villages will be in trouble, or both sides will be in trouble.

These are all good things!

Uchiha Nan drank the water.

Look at another piece of information.
This is the information from the Sand Village.

It seems that Masha has realized the current situation of Sand Village. He has set up factories in Sand Village and attracted investment, and provided the most favorable policy support to merchants from Wind Country. He wants to boycott the factories and shops opened by Konoha in Sand Village, and wants to reduce the number of exchange students.
“It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.”

Uchiha Nan sighed softly.

Which wealthy merchant in the Land of Wind is crazy enough to do business in the Sand Village?
Any businessman with a bit of brains would choose to invest his money in the Land of Fire, in Konoha!

"I hope Mosa can be more rational."

"Don't do anything radical, or the consequences will be serious."

After reading the information, Uchiha Nan began to write and draw on paper.

Factories went on strike, villagers held parades, shops closed down en masse, and the ninja clan held a meeting of senior ninjas to force the emperor to abdicate.
I have many methods of my own!

Uchiha Nan put down the pen in his hand, and then stuffed a few pieces of paper into a special envelope. There was a special seal on the envelope, and only by knowing the correct seal could the envelope be opened.

This letter will be delivered to the Sand Village tonight.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Something big has happened! Something big has happened!!"

"The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is dead!!"

At this time, Nara Shikaon, holding the latest information in his hand, hurriedly pushed open the door of Uchiha Nan's office.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The name of the country of thunder?"

When Uchiha Nan heard the news, he stood up from his seat instantly with an incredible look in his eyes.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is dead?
Who did it?
Could it be that the idiot Third Generation Ai had someone do it?

The first thing Uchiha Nan thought of was the Hidden Cloud Village.

During this period, the cooperation between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village has begun. In order to obtain cheap minerals, cheap land, and cheap energy, the Hidden Cloud Village is bound to do many "treasonous" things in the Land of Lightning during this period.

To the nobles and wealthy merchants who are hindering the development of the Hidden Cloud Village.

I have to deliver the fruit basket first.
If you don't eat the fruit basket, I'll send you a kunai.
If they still refuse to back down after I give them the kunai, I'll send them to see the Sage of Six Paths.

Uchiha Nan has mastered this method in the Land of Fire. None of the nobles and wealthy merchants have a clean bottom. With the help of the evidence collected from them by the Anbu ninja of Konoha and reported to the daimyo, there will be people who speak up for Konoha in the court of the Land of Fire.

The procedures from beginning to end were followed perfectly, and it was a completely legal and just act. With the media channels controlled by Konoha further fermenting and praising the matter, it was a foregone conclusion that the thief was being eliminated for the country.

Konoha is a close ally of the Fire Nation, and this is a move to restore order!
Konoha got everything it wanted.
The Fire Country Daimyo can follow Konoha and eat their corpses.

The common people of the Fire Nation were delighted when they saw the dignitaries who were of higher status than them being quarreled and executed!

Everyone is very happy.
The Hidden Cloud Village naturally cannot be as skilled as Konoha, and the process should be more intense, even to the point of being at the head of the Daimyo, but as long as the scale is controlled
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will probably turn a blind eye.

Thought of here
Uchiha Nan didn't dare to guarantee it.

People are different.

The Fire Country Daimyo has a weak character and a long-term vision.
I heard that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is related to the Third Generation Ai, and he must be a hot-tempered guy. He will definitely not allow Konoha to do whatever it wants like the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"It's still unclear at this point."

“The murderer has not been caught yet”

"According to the information from the Anbu ninjas."

Nara Shikato summarized the current information.

A week ago, the Hidden Cloud Village used tough measures to seize an iron mine from a great noble from the Land of Lightning, and then that great noble from the Land of Lightning turned around and approached the Daimyoji of the Land of Lightning.

Nobles.
I have always been related to the daimyo.

This great nobleman has a close relationship with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and holds a high position in the court. The Hidden Cloud Village has encountered a tough nut.

Plundering and robbery have always been the privilege of the great nobles, but these lowly ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village can actually bully them.

Not only did it touch the bottom line of the ninja village and the country, it also slapped the nobles hard.

This is simply unheard of.

Reasonable
The daimyo of the Land of Lightning must stand up and uphold justice for the nobles.

And
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning also knew that the Hidden Cloud Village had been dishonest during this period. Not only did they team up with the three major ninja villages to forge battle reports with the Rain Village to deceive him, they also tried to cheat him of his war funds!
This is simply a beast!!

Back then, your Hidden Cloud Village was ravaged by someone, and it was I who gave you a large sum of money to give you a break. Later, I also allocated funds to the Hidden Cloud Village to rebuild the village!

Ungrateful, ungrateful!!

Now, you, the Hidden Cloud Village, are openly violating the agreement between the ninja village and the country in the Land of Lightning, and are jumping back and forth on the red line?

What do you, the Hidden Cloud Village, want to do now?

Do you want to learn from the Rain Village and rebel like them?

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning immediately sent someone to summon the Third Generation Ai, and scolded him harshly in front of everyone, even saying that he wanted to replace the Raikage.

That day.
The third generation Ai left the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder with a gloomy face.

As for the iron ore, of course it was not returned.

How could they vomit out something that had already been eaten by the Hidden Cloud Village?

At noon yesterday
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning went out incognito and was assassinated on his way back.

"According to the situation at the scene, the murderer used a special gun, imitating the guns produced by Konoha, but with improved power and range. It is estimated that it can kill ordinary people from a hundred meters away. It was used twice in total. The first time it hit the daimyo's chest but it was not fatal. The second time was the fatal injury."

"How does this involve Konoha?"

"So, Hokage-sama, is this you?"

Nara Shika looked at Uchiha Nan from afar.

He strongly suspected that it was his Hokage who secretly planned this incident and wanted to put the blame on the Hidden Cloud Village.

Lord Hokage is capable of doing such a thing.

"Don't look at me like that!"

"I'm not the kind of bad guy who hides in the dark and tries to cause trouble."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand.

This time it really was none of his business.
