Problems that can be solved with money are really not big problems.
Even though he was reluctant to spend the money, the thought of being so close to the Rain Country meant that a Five Elements Mountain might be thrown at him or a sword might strike him at any time.
I think this money is spent quite wisely.
The department led by Deidara has achieved a lot of results recently, and the Iwagakure Village also needs time to continue growing.
As for giving money...it can't be called giving money, it can be called participating in attracting investment to contribute to human exploration of the moon.
At the same time, they can also promote their own products into the market of the Western Continent where the Akatsuki organization is located, which can be considered a commercial behavior.
You have both face and money.
The two actors changed their minds and were decisive. They said they could pay the money, but the results must be achieved.
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was not in any danger, but it was our A Fei who possessed the ability of time and space who was killed in the battle. This price is already very heavy.
With the arrival of this huge sum of money, I believe it can bring about a brief period of peace.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen made it clear that it would definitely be useful, as he had connections inside Akatsuki.
Black Zetsu suddenly discovered the blind spot. Your intelligence within the Akatsuki organization was indeed somewhat predictive.
The last Star War, this time the conflict to settle the attack on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, etc., were all information that was suddenly pulled out.
So who was that person? How come He didn’t know?
"Ahem, the Hidden Mist Village can contribute funds, and we can even ask the Daimyo to contribute more."
"But such a large amount of funds cannot be used casually."
"I'm just a little curious about who you are that you can trust so much, Brother Hiruzen."
“I don’t know if it’s convenient or not.”
It can be said that Black Zetsu is really not a human being. He causes trouble himself and then stabs others in the back.
It can be seen that he has completely lost his cunningness because of the Lan Yue incident.
When the Mizukage spoke, the other two Kages also stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen to see how he would react.
You know, there's nothing wrong with giving money, but if the money is spent and nothing is done, that's quite unacceptable.
What's more, they are also curious. The intelligence provided by the organization this month has been accurate and extremely valuable.
So who is it?
The atmosphere became tense here, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's face looked very ugly.
That bastard Black Zetsu actually chose this moment to attack... Isn't he worried that I'll flip the table?
Fortunately, the patch measures Noah provided were just right for this purpose.
"I can choose not to tell you, but... in order to fight against Akatsuki..."
"Once my great task is completed, I ask that you all help me return to Konoha and restore order."
Everyone agreed readily. Who knows what will happen at that time? Let’s just promise first.
"Yes... Kakuzu."
It turned out to be him!
It can only be him.
The information about Akatsuki has been thoroughly read by everyone, and all members have a deep impression of it.
Only this one...it’s hard to describe.
Taki is a traitorous ninja, and his background has already made the Kages look down on him. After all, how could a real dragon come out of a small place?
The place with the highest level of rebellious ninja in the world is Konoha, and the highest level person is the Hokage.
Underground mercenaries? They belong to the bottom of the ninja world, only slightly better than bandits.
As for immortality and the like, no one cares about it. It's just a bit weird. The ninja village has a lot of ways to deal with such people.
Anyway, I don’t see what’s so great about it.
Moreover, his flaw is very obvious: he is greedy for money.
Even after being recruited into the Akatsuki organization, he did not change this habit. It is said that he has many businesses in the new town.
The reason why he is in a high position now is probably because he got in early and got the chance to follow the dragon.
To be honest, in the place where the monsters of Akatsuki organization gather, you can take off with any pendant.
If the person Sarutobi Hiruzen could contact was him...it would be very believable.
As for how we got in touch, you can’t ask anymore. If you ask again, you will make enemies.
Black Zetsu regretted why he did not develop such a talent as Kakuzu earlier, as he had quite a lot of private property.
It's definitely too late to contact him now. Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen has the ability to comfort him after the meeting.
He did lose his composure just now. He became a little sensitive after what happened to Obito.
After the corner was exposed, everyone wisely put the topic back to the main business and started discussing the details.
"Alas, I never thought that we would have to endure such humiliation. When the size of the Eastern Ocean Convention reaches a crushing level, we must avenge this."
After a sigh from the Raikage, everyone passed the resolution.
The three villages plus the Land of Water can provide an investment of 15 billion taels...
Of course, it’s not just about giving away money, we also need to get various orders and advertising space, etc.
They didn’t dare to even think about naming rights, so they could only console themselves with something not very valuable.
The four people also argued about the diplomatic personnel.
It is understandable that it is not convenient for members of the Moon Organization to show up, so the shadows of the three villages can only send their elite men to form a team.
But if you go now, there is a real risk of being killed. It is very normal for Kushina to kill dozens of people in a moment of impulse.
Even though resources are now abundant and more ninjas are being trained, jonin are still the village's most valuable assets.
This made everyone start to make excuses, and in the end it was the Mizukage Atmosphere who sent his capable subordinate Kisame to lead the team.
As the team leader, he also has the right to control the amount of money raised this time.
After completing the discussion about Star Wars and deciding to calm the anger of Akatsuki, everyone dispersed to prepare for war.
After all, it is still not certain whether the money-giving plan will work.
After the meeting, Black Zetsu took the initiative to find Sarutobi Hiruzen to apologize, and was very humble.
For his mother, he can give up all his dignity, not to mention that dignity is only something that humans care about.
When my mother comes back again, the entire ninja world will be cleansed. By then, who knows what happened in past history?
Sarutobi Hiruzen hit the pitcher plant a few times and told him to get out. Now is not the time to turn against him.
Call Kisame in to issue the task.
The mission this time is very simple, give money, give a lot of money, it doesn’t matter if you give away all the money.
Afterwards, he immediately reported the results of the meeting in the east to Noah.
He came into the secret room and activated a Thunder God Kunai.
The leader of the East Ocean meets the leader of the West Continent.
"15 billion taels?"
Noah was in a good mood. This was much more than the investment they made in welding the tin barrel.
But it is still not enough, Orochimaru's side is a bottomless pit.
"Let Kisame come over to deliver the money first. I will arrange Kakuzu's identity."
"As for the follow-up...how much do you think the naming rights can be sold for?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless, you are sick.
Although I don't know how Noah will make the launch plan public, it would be outrageous to post a message all over the launch site saying "Thanks to the East Ocean Convention Caravan for sponsoring the Western Continent Moon Launch Plan."
People in Akatsuki would definitely not agree to such a thing.
"The battles between ninja villages are matters for the higher-ups. I have never arranged for ninjas below the rank of Jonin to intervene in the fights."
"The entire continent will definitely merge in the end, so the hatred should be limited to just between us."
...Every time Sarutobi Hiruzen heard such words about planning the Ninja Continent, he felt that the person in front of him was truly terrifying.
"They won't pay. The Raikage and Tsuchikage are not fools. How could they possibly believe in such a thing?"
"Is it worth the extra money to be allowed access to the launch site and get up close and personal with the vehicle?"
"……Can."
"Then let's wait for feedback from the Rain Country. Please."
After saying this, Noah disappeared into the secret room, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen alone in distress.
Chapter 63 True Colors Appearing
"Kakuzu, the organization has assigned you a temporary mission.
I allow you to be...real when you come into contact with friends from the east."
After knowing the whole story, Kaku didn't reject it. He thought that the ninja was very suitable for this mission.
The evaluation of "just be more real" is a bit too much, as if it means that when I am real, I am a greedy person.
"I am the Minister of Finance of the Rain Country. The data I handle is in the tens of millions. If the other party wants to impress me, they have to show some strength."
Kakuzu has always been proud of his status. Perhaps he has gradually fallen behind in terms of combat power, but the power of wealth is definitely among the best in the entire ninja world.
"15 billion taels."
“Oh~~~Oh!”
Kakuzu's eyes widened angrily. What did this mean? This... this... didn't it mean that he had to be treated well?
Although the money on the books every day is much more than this, especially for train projects, the total investment is tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
But this 15 billion taels is cash flow, which is very remarkable.
It is even more amazing if it is the kind that can be easily dug.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely take it down."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I mean we can still tap into each other's potential. Let's first... then..."
The corners are a bit difficult.
"Isn't this too immoral..."
"When did you get this thing?"
There was something strange in Noah's eyes when he looked at Kakuzu. Could it be that Black Zetsu was impersonating him?
Just when he was about to kill this guy on the spot, Kakuzu suddenly made a sharp turn.
"Actually, we can also... this way we can... hehehe..."
Only then did Noah feel at ease and patted the other person's shoulder, realizing that he had never forgotten his original intention.
"This amount of money is enough for Orochimaru to squander for a year or two. You should make a more rigorous audit plan to supervise it.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Come on."
Leaving behind Kakuzu was a tall figure who then came underground.
The iron barrel for the lunar exploration has been almost welded, and the tailed beast engine is now being installed on it.
This technology originally came from the Sky Ninjas, those idiots created a Zero Tail as an energy source to help the fortress take off.
They were just wiped out in one of Akatsuki's dungeon missions.
What’s speechless is that… the source of the unrest is Konoha again.
The Zero Tail Technique of the dungeon BOSS Shennong is a forbidden technique in the village. Who else could be the creator? Of course, it is the source of the chaos in the world, Lord Senju Tobirama.
