"This is not good."
"Didn't you say that we should just squat in the bucket and bear it for a while?"
Kakuzu... I thought spending 5000 million taels to make a metal bucket was a lot of patience, but who knew you would use 1000 million taels to do the real work...
"I know the organization is short of money recently, but we really can't stop with Orochimaru."
The Minister of Finance immediately became extremely nervous. Could it be that this was the main point of today's play?
"Don't get me wrong, I mean we can use the moon exploration program to..."
After hearing this, Kakuzu knelt down, you are really worthy of me...
Not only do they need to earn back the 5000 million taels, but they also need to raise funds for Orochimaru and his new project.
"What if the merchant group in the east wants to invest?"
"We are exploring the moon for the sake of peace in the entire ninja world. No matter east, west, south, or north, everything can be harvested... and received."
Just like that, Kakuzu got the entire Ministry of Commerce moving.
Every time at this time, he believed that Noah was the god walking on earth, the god of wealth.
Dong Dayang was still waiting for the revenge of Akatsuki, but ended up waiting for the news of the countdown to the moon exploration.
After the announcement of the public lunar exploration process, the entire continent focused its attention on the Rain Country.
In the past, only the top leaders of the five major ninja villages knew about this news, but now through the undisguised propaganda in the new town, everyone knows that the Akatsuki organization is doing this.
The topic of lunar exploration is talked about by everyone in the streets, whether humans or dogs.
"Did you hear that? Those ninjas from the Akatsuki organization are going to the moon."
"What! We're going to the moon! Oh my god, will there be fairies up there?"
"What! They've already launched a teacup and figurine co-branded with the lunar exploration project. Hurry up and buy me a set. This is a commemorative edition."
"Heart of Steel has launched a stainless steel pot made of the same material as the one used in the lunar exploration mission. Everyone is rushing to buy it."
The wealthy businessmen also went crazy. They spent a lot of money to learn a shocking good news from some people.
Lord Kakuzu wants to attract investment for the lunar exploration project and is willing to carry out commercial placement in the lunar exploration project and auction the naming rights.
This is big news that has attracted the attention of the whole world. In fashionable terms, it is a hot topic.
A hub for all channels including TV, radio and newspapers.
It’s just money, take it, take it all.
The wealthy businessmen started giving money by various means.
With Noah's permission, Jiaodu was overjoyed and did everything he could to make money.
At the same time, it also lets everyone know that Akatsuki is serious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also received the order. He frowned and read it, then secretly sighed, what a scary man.
I thought my undercover days were coming to an end, but I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to let the East Ocean Treaty Organization extend it.
Then... continue.
On the other side, a certain Black Zetsu was simply stunned. The vigorous moon exploration activity made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Mom~~~~"
Chapter 61 Giving Money
In the Iron Country.
The four leaders met again in the secret meeting room, or rather, discussed ways to deal with the crisis while questioning each other.
The crime is that the Moon Organization attacked the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki without authorization. If they fail, it will likely cause a war crisis among the East Ocean Treaty Nations.
In the past few years, the three major ninja villages and the Moon Organization have carried out various in-depth exchanges and cooperation, from military confrontation to economic assistance, and even railways have been built.
To the outside world, it appears to be a completely integrated organization.
Even if we explain to the outside world that it was just two people from Yue’s organization acting alone, I’m afraid the other side won’t believe us.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat there and said with a sad face.
"At that time, Ah Fei saw a very suitable opportunity and planned to use time and space to abduct the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then exchange it for some initiative.
Who would have thought that he would eventually fall victim to the fake Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.
Of course, his sacrifice was not in vain. At least he helped us find out that there is a new hidden strong man, Umino Iruka, in Konoha.
With powerful vitality and terrifying water escape, it would be very difficult to take him down if it weren't for the sneak attack and the peculiarities of time and space.
As for the retaliation afterwards... you don't have to worry too much."
The two actors were shocked. What did this mean?
Could it be that Sarutobi Hiruzen has obtained some more in-depth information?
"Everyone still remembers the intelligence about Star Wars, and I think you are also aware of the grand lunar launch plan that Akatsuki just launched.
The appearance of the latter confirmed the terrifying idea of extraterrestrial war. Those lunatics really wanted to destroy the enemy in space.
I probably can’t spare the time to start a war recently.”
Everyone understood and knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
"You mean they are fully focused on exploring the moon, so they won't launch an attack in the short term?
But regardless of whether the moon exploration succeeds or fails, revenge is only a matter of time. I don’t think Akatsuki is a reasonable organization.”
The Fourth Raikage touched the wound on his chest that was stabbed by someone and said that the old man's expectation was too optimistic.
The second time Noah attacked and cut off the entrance to the sea, he almost died.
“The mother of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina, is a woman with an extremely hot temper, as can be felt from intelligence and battle.
This matter will not end so easily, we still have to face the enemy's attack at any time."
I get so angry when I talk about Onoki.
The Land of Earth and the Land of Rain are adjacent to each other, so being a hostile country on the front line poses the greatest risk.
If that crazy woman rushes in and kidnaps the tailed beast, then their Iwakage Village will really be without a tailed beast jinchūriki available.
Even the Mizukage pretended to be worried.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had laid enough groundwork and it was time to come up with something real.
"So we plan to reconcile with the other party, as long as we pay a small price."
But how could such a loose alliance with various interests be free of disputes?
"Price! What price? What does capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have to do with our ninja village?"
The Raikage is not a reckless man, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's use of the word "we" at this time made him sound particularly uncomfortable.
The Yunyin family has been struck by misfortune, and now they have to pay a price to resolve the hatred. It's ridiculous.
Ōnoki said that the Raikage was right.
"Then why didn't you refuse when Ah Fei gave you the information?
Where did the information about the special steel needed for the Chakra Cannon come from, and where did the information on the heavy industry production line come from?
Also, where do the means of production for light industrial products in the Land of Earth come from?
These were all important intelligence that Ah Fei stole at great risk during his lifetime, but you didn't know the difference so well at that time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were powerful, as if he was standing on the moral high ground.
At this time, he had to make full use of the fact that the masked man was dead and squeeze out the last bit of value he had in his life.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the two Kages stopped talking. They had both earned enough benefits from A Fei and Yue Organization.
The ability of Spacetime in collecting intelligence is truly amazing, and when combined with the elusive pitcher plant, the two of them are the strongest intelligence personnel.
Although we can be shameless, we still need to work together to fight against the Akatsuki organization.
So they looked at the Mizukage who had been silent.
"Mr. Mizukage is always silent during every meeting. I think he has his own thoughts. Why don't you speak up?"
The Mizukage, the incarnation of Black Zetsu, was in a very delicate mood at this moment.
He is now extremely anxious and uneasy, as he has no idea why Akatsuki is determined to land on the moon, how they will land on the moon, and what they will do after landing on the moon.
Unfortunately, the launch site was chosen in the Rain Country, and it was impossible to infiltrate normally.
Now that Obito is dead, it is very difficult to cause trouble.
Therefore, the proposal that Sarutobi Hiruzen made when they had a private conversation before the meeting was very much to his liking.
The Mizukage cleared his throat.
"Lord Raikage, Lord Tsuchikage, please be patient.
I am more curious about what price you think can be paid to settle this matter, and whether our three villages can afford it."
With the guidance of the Mizukage, Sarutobi Hiruzen also directly gave a plan.
"With money."
The two actors found it a little ridiculous that the Akatsuki organization's projects, railways, and various production lines could still be short of money. This was simply ridiculous.
Has Sarutobi Hiruzen lost his mind, or is he too sad after the loss of his generals?
They really thought there would be some magical operation.
"No, I have definite inside information that they are short of money. I can't tell you the exact source, but it comes from a high-level official anyway."
This has aroused everyone's interest, and it's worth listening to it.
"The head of Akatsuki's finance department has been frantically amassing wealth recently, and his methods can even be described as unscrupulous.
According to internal intelligence, the Akatsuki organization is feeling the pressure from opening multiple projects at the same time, and they are trying to find a way to solve this problem.
Ohnoki and others felt that this was a good thing. They would cause the economy of those warmongering guys to collapse, and then we would reap the benefits.
At this time, you should not give money to your opponent to help them get through the difficult times.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and acted heartbroken.
"Everyone is confused. They are just short of money temporarily, not forever. Giving money at this time will only be helpful, okay?"
That… makes sense.
The Mizukage played the role of a supporting actor and took the initiative to admit that he was a little short-sighted, leaving the two shadows, Raito, speechless.
"My suggestion is that our three villages plus Yue Organization should work together to form an ordinary caravan and go to the new town to participate in this investment promotion conference related to Lan Yue.
There is no need to hide too much. Just let the other party know our origins and then participate in the auction at a high price.
In this way, we can not only promote the name of our product through this Moon-Grabbing event and achieve high-quality advertising effects, but also use this sincerity to ease the other party's hostility.
Chapter 62 Yes, It’s Kakuzu
After all, compared to spending money to solve the problem, fighting is what we should avoid more.”
The Raikage is very disdainful of this alternative tactic of paying money to beg for mercy. Everyone in the Cloud Ninja Village is a tough guy among tough guys.
But... the last sentence is still quite useful.
It is really impossible to defeat him by force. Ai knows very well that Noah is already the strongest in the ninja world.
Back then, the First Raikage was able to bend and stretch in the face of the God of the Ninja World. I, the Fourth, have inherited my ancestor's strategic policy, and I will just let that villain be a little proud.
Besides, the ninja village has made a lot of fortune in recent years, and the economic situation is very good.
The momentum of development is rising even faster, and the consequences of interrupting development are even more serious.
Once their chakra cannon is truly developed, they will have the confidence to stand in front of the Akatsuki organization.
But Ohnoki's mentality is much more flexible.
