What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 250: Spiritual Konoha Man - Kakuzu (4K)

The "Public Intellectuals" plan is undoubtedly a classic method of combining public opinion with cultural attack. It is a method that has been played to pieces by the evil America on earth. Countless countries have suffered from it, and China can be said to be the hardest hit area.

It’s just that China’s cultural heritage is rich enough and its history is legendary enough, so it finally held out. But for those countries with insufficient cultural heritage and insufficient national strength, it was undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction attack. They knew that America was doing bad things but they could do nothing about it.

The same situation applies to the ninja world, and the effect is even stronger, because the countries in the ninja world now have no defense against this at all. In the eyes of each country, if they want to destroy other countries, they can only rely on force, and other means can only serve as auxiliary to the war at most.

Therefore, it can be said that the promotion of the magazine "Gongzhi" is unimpeded - in fact, Konoha is just the first release, and in all parts of the ninja world, wherever the power of Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce reaches, the magazine will be put on sale one after another.

Other ninja villages don't even have the prerequisites for reviewing books, and usually don't care much about it.

Although this completely free-range state would often lead to situations where a big shot would be unhappy with a book and directly remove it from the local shelves, Konoha was also prepared for this.

Apart from anything else, Konoha has now approved a lot of funds for local leaders to conduct public relations with local authorities.

Under this kind of public relations paved by money, local rulers who were also unaware of the terrifying power of cultural propaganda gave the "Gongzhi" magazine a green light, allowing the magazine to proliferate under their rule. They even read it with great interest and thought it was quite interesting.

Although there are some "eye-catching" contents in it, pointing out some problems in the country to which they belong, they are all based on investigations and data, and are real. Moreover, the contents in it all hope that the country to which they belong can solve these problems and become better.

So, don’t worry about it.

In addition, two short stories are used to directly reveal the tip of the iceberg of why Konoha is so powerful. The kunai in this village have to be washed three times, and in a small ramen restaurant, the people get along with each other so cordially and full of humanistic care.

The term "humanistic care" was introduced through this book "Public Knowledge", which aroused the feelings of many people, and then...

Do whatever you have to do.

Yes, it’s just sighing, without even any reflection.

How can the thousand-year-old tradition of the ninja world be changed so easily?
What's more, as the saying goes, 'poverty and bad waters produce unruly people'. In a world with extremely low productivity, where people have trouble even getting enough to eat, and where the food eaten by petty nobles everywhere is comparable to that of ordinary people in small African countries, your talk of humanitarian care and mutual help is purely mentally ill.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Only those who have extra money and free time are qualified to discuss humanistic care.

But who can have these things nowadays?

Rich people, nobles and powerful ninjas.

There is a huge gap between these people and ordinary people. You can even say that they are different species with the same appearance. But in such a social class environment, it is pure wishful thinking to talk about humanistic care and empathy.

So, the big shots just looked at these things and didn’t think much about them.

only……

For other people, especially those who can read and understand some principles but whose lives are not very good, ordinary people or even ordinary ninjas, the content inside is very destructive.

They couldn't understand what reflection or essence was, they just felt that the Konoha described in the magazine was so good, so good that they couldn't help but imagine a picture of an utopia in their minds, thus developing a longing and desire for Konoha.

Under the influence of such emotions, the legendary spiritual Konoha people were born in the ninja world.

Of course, not everyone becomes a spiritual Konoha person because of Konoha’s positive energy such as humanistic care and unity. Some people become spiritual Konoha people for other reasons.

One of these guys is called Kakuzu.

Yes, it is Kakuzu, the famous money-making master and sucker of the Akatsuki organization, and the number one bounty hunter in the ninja world!
At this time, before the Third Ninja World War began, Kakuzu naturally had not joined the Akatsuki organization, but was a wild ninja who enjoyed great fame among the underground money-changers and mercenaries. He was a mission maniac, as he was either on his way to carry out a bounty mission or in the midst of one.

The underworld of the ninja world has long been accustomed to Kakuzu's style of doing things. Although they are very afraid of him, they are not very nervous, because if they don't have a large bounty, Kakuzu will not take action against them at all.

However, the underground world has been very scary lately, and many bounty hunters are sweating.

because……

Uncle Kakuzu hasn't been accepting many missions recently.

This is really like the sun rising from the west, and it also makes people feel scared - Kakuzu suddenly greatly reduces the frequency of accepting tasks. Is he planning to have a big one? Will this big one wipe out all of them, the small scum?

It’s terrifying when you think about it!
So, what does Jiaodu actually think?

All Kakuzu wanted to say was, "If there is hope, I hope I can become a great Konoha man!"

Yes, this is what Kakuzu-san really thinks, at least what he really thinks at this moment.

Why is this happening?
The answer is also very simple.

As we all know, Uncle Kakuzu's favorite thing is to make money. Seeing the money he gets more and more, he will have a great sense of satisfaction, commonly known as the satisfaction of Tuntun Rat and Taotie.

This famous money-making master in the ninja world used to only earn money by killing people. The endless killings for hire in the underground gold exchange made Kakuzu a famous bounty hunter after he defected from Takigakure.

So, is it impossible for Jiaodu to do other things to make money? Of course not. In fact, Jiaodu has lived for many years and has done a lot of research on making money. He also understands various business operations. It's just that he can't do it this way.

This was because he was a traitor, a famous traitor with a high bounty, and a traitor wanted by many countries.

If you really want to be patient and do business, Kakuzu will be a sitting duck for others to hit.

Don't even talk about being able to hide behind the scenes and manipulate things, because Kakuzu knows very well that with his abilities and the resources at his disposal, it is impossible for him to hide completely. For the major ninja villages, if he dares to hide behind the scenes and remotely control others, he will definitely be discovered.

As for actively seeking cooperation, that is even more impossible. Who would cooperate with Kakuzu, a notorious bounty hunter and rebel ninja?
It's not that there is really no one who will not cooperate with him, but business operations like this, without the support of strong forces, are just meat in other people's bowls. If Kakuzu wants to find someone to cooperate with, he can only cooperate with a few big villages or a few big countries. Otherwise, he will not be able to protect his own property at all, and there is a great possibility that he will become a fat pig for a few big villages and big countries. They only need to do something in the name of Kakuzu as a traitor, and they can directly destroy Kakuzu's business empire and plunder all the profits without violating the rules of the ninja world.

However, in the past, several large villages and large countries were unwilling to cooperate with Kakuzu.

Therefore, Kakuzu had no choice but to put his business acumen aside and continue to be a bounty hunter.

But just a few months ago, someone from the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce approached Kakuzu directly and expressed their desire to cooperate with Kakuzu in business. They wanted to help Kakuzu set up an agent directly under the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce, responsible for selling Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce's various products and opening game halls.

Kakuzu felt incredible and couldn't understand why the Konoha Gaming Chamber of Commerce, representing Konoha, wanted to cooperate with him. He even felt that this was a conspiracy of Konoha.

However, the Konoha Gaming Chamber of Commerce never gave up and showed great sincerity, and finally Kakuzu tried to take out part of the funds to set up a company and started commercial operations.

As a result, Kakuzu discovered that the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce was truly cooperating with him according to normal business practices, and was very generous in providing various items and resources, and had always shown strong goodwill and wanted to cooperate with Kakuzu for a long time.

This made Kakuzu unable to understand what was going on, and made him increasingly uneasy, as if there were always villains trying to harm him.

Fortunately, later on, the future Fourth Hokage, who had been designated by Konoha as an assistant, Konoha's Golden Flash Minato Namikaze came and had a long talk with Kakuzu before the rebel ninja dispelled his doubts.

Because, Namikaze Minato clearly stated that Konoha came to find Kakuzu because they wanted to have long-term cooperation with Kakuzu, and they needed Kakuzu to sell some things that Konoha Game Company was not convenient to sell.

What they used was Kakuzu's notoriety and talent, in order to make Kakuzu one of the black gloves of the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce.

Hmm? Why did the corner feel relieved when he knew he had to be a black glove? Don't you know that black gloves will be discarded if they are no longer useful?

Kakuzu certainly knew this, but he was confident in his ability to save his life, and making the black gloves meant that Konoha would not harm him, at least not in the short term, and he was also taking advantage of Konoha.

Since we are using each other, we will naturally feel at ease when we know that we have great value.

After putting his mind at ease, Kakuzu focused on doing business and making money. With the booming development of the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce, Kakuzu, who became the boss of an agency, naturally made a fortune.

The speed and difficulty of making money are much better than being a bounty hunter. Most importantly, it gives Jiaodu the opportunity and platform to display his business talents.

For Kakuzu, this was simply a wonderful experience he had never had before.

If it wasn't for the need to maintain his notoriety in the underground world and not be forgotten by the world, Kakuzu wouldn't even want to be a bounty hunter. This is also the fundamental reason why the frequency of his accepting missions in the underground world has decreased significantly in the past two months.

Therefore, Kakuzu is now in a very good mood and very happy, and has become a spiritual Konoha man. He hopes that Konoha will develop better and better - because the better Konoha develops, the more money he can make, and the lower the probability of being abandoned.

After all, Kakuzu's identity is no secret, and it is no secret that he became Konoha's Black Glove and made a fortune with Konoha. A force like Konoha will not just cross the river and burn bridges. They must pay attention to their own credibility. Even if they are the Black Glove, they will not give up easily without a convincing reason.

Besides, even if the bridge was really deserted, the money earned was enough, and Jiaodu was confident that he could take a large amount of money with him. The worst that could happen was that he would return to his past status as a bounty hunter.

For Kakuzu, whose inner happiness and satisfaction come from making money rather than spending it, the process of establishing a company and making money can give him incomparable satisfaction. As for other things, he doesn't care.

Well, this is also the fundamental reason why in the 'original work', the money-making master of the Akatsuki organization finally handed over the money he earned to the organization and asked Konan to make 300 billion detonating tags.

So, in a sense, Kakuzu's mentality is really Buddhist.

In this situation, Kakuzu naturally became a member of the spiritual Konoha people, and was full of gratitude to the legendary Lord Kai - when Namikaze Minato came to talk to Kakuzu, he also directly stated that it was Uchiha Kei who recommended Kakuzu to be a level 1 agent. It can be said that Kakuzu has a good life now, and Uchiha Kei is undoubtedly his mentor.

I, Kakuzu, am now Konoha's loyal retainer Kouya who is willing to give his heart for Lord Kai!
Then, under such circumstances, Kakuzu suddenly received a message from the Lord Qi whom he had been thinking about all the time one day. An order directly from Lord Qi suddenly arrived.

This made Kakuzu's pupils tremble, and then he respectfully took the letter from an Uchiha ninja who was responsible for delivering the letter and read it carefully.

After understanding the actual situation, Jiaodu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because the content was not as he expected, which required him to go through fire and water.

On the contrary, the orders inside were so simple for Kakuzu that he only needed to issue a few orders to complete them - the great Lord Kai needed him, Kakuzu, to provide assistance to a group of young people from the Rain Country, to sell various goods of the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce to those young people at the lowest price, and let those young people take the things to the Rain Country to sell.

Of course, Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce can actually do this kind of thing. The reason why they didn't find Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce is because such sales are in the form of smuggling, and Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce cannot be stained by these stains, so they need to do it as a black glove.

However, this was too simple for Kakuzu. For him, whose company had already grown to a certain scale, the information only needed to appear in front of him once and he didn't need to ask about it.

However, since this was an order directly issued by the great Lord Kai, Kakuzu had to take it seriously and not ignore it just because it was a small matter.

So, after a little thought, Kakuzu simply met with those young people from the Rain Country and prepared to learn more about the specific situation.

It was also through this direct contact that Kaku knew that this group of young people belonged to a newly established organization, and the name of this organization was "Akatsuki"!
