My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 157 Money Matters

Three days later, at Link's home.

[You are the Kado who died in the Land of Waves, right? ]

I think I am

After Link confirmed with this [Kado who died in the Land of Waves], he used the psychic ability that made it impossible to lie to ask abruptly: [Where are the money and assets you hid during your lifetime? ]

[In the basement of a villa near the mangroves in Wave Country]

By the time Cardo reacted, his mind had already automatically reported his location, [You little brat——]

Link skillfully blocked this guy and then wrote down the address in a secret code in a notebook.

Anyway, the deceased had no use for the money, so he specifically looked for some notorious businessmen who had died in accidents in newspapers and magazines. He screened the ordinary dead who came to his door by broadcasting the place of death + name, and used the characteristics of psychic magic to cheat them. If he succeeded, he would make money.

It doesn’t matter if you fail to cheat. Not being easily cheated is also a kind of screening.

He was definitely not prepared to really satisfy the ideas of these villainous rich businessmen. It was not a transaction at all, but rather the circulation of hidden assets.

[That should be enough] Link looked at the dozens of place names in the notebook, from small countries like the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Rivers, and the Kingdom of Rain, to big countries like the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Fire. The coverage was quite comprehensive.

The most recent one, well, should be Tansho Street. There was a businessman who died at the hands of the Rain Country Ninja. He deposited an anonymous gambling money in the casino in Tansho Street. As long as the corresponding code was provided, he could get the money. It was originally a birthday gift for his lover, but the businessman died not long after depositing the money.

There are 500,000 taels in it, which is not a lot, but it is not difficult to obtain.

There are several similar ones, but the trouble is that not all money can be used, which involves a huge problem -

The difference in currency.

The Fire Nation has its own currency, which is banknotes and coins with the Konoha logo on them. They can circulate in neighboring countries and are Fire Nation banknotes issued by the Fire Nation Bank. As the center and ninja village of the Fire Nation, it is Konoha Village that anchors the value of the currency.

Because if you want to issue a commission in Konoha Village, you need to use the currency of the Fire Nation. In this way, the currency of the big country has an anchor. No matter how it is issued, it can eventually be turned into a concrete item through the labor of the ninja.

Similarly, other countries also have their own currencies, with their own ninja villages as anchors.

Ninjas perform tasks, create value, and money flows into the hands of ninjas through tasks. The ninjas, who are in danger of losing their jobs, spend money lavishly, driving the circulation and operation of the social economy.

For the countries in the Naruto world, ninjas are the undisputed core.

No matter how strict and inhumane the ninja system is, the status of ninjas is such that if conflicts or disagreements really occur, the actual decision-making is still made by the ninja village, not the daimyo, dignitaries, or ministers.

During the first Five Kage Conference, the first Hokage who had just established the village said: You are the leaders of the five major countries.

This is not an exaggeration; ninjas themselves possess such a status.

The nominal equality between the ninja villages and the daimyo decided by Hashirama Senju during that period was only in name only.

Back to the issue of currency, the differences in currencies among countries have resulted in not only the inability of currency to circulate freely, but also the inability of tasks to circulate.

The underground gold exchange not only provides rewards for certain people, but also has the function of exchanging money.

That's why it's called [Gold Exchange]. Not every country has a ninja village, and not every ninja village has a certain value, so there are situations where small countries use the currency of big countries, and small countries lack resources, resulting in no ninja willing to stay.

Once a country does not have its own currency, or the issued currency cannot be circulated with ninjas as an anchor, the situation of the Wave Kingdom will occur.

Without money, there are no ninjas, and without ninjas, you can be bullied and controlled at will.

In order to avoid being bullied or controlled and to form their own cycle, Kakashi said, "Most countries have their own ninja villages, large or small."

From this, different currencies were issued using the Ninja Village as an anchor.

Various small countries are in danger of collapse, and the types of currencies are almost impossible to count. Even if you need to exchange the currency of a big country in a foreign country, you still have to use your own country's currency when you return home.

Otherwise, how can you assign tasks to the ninjas of your own country? You can't go to other countries' ninja villages to perform production and life tasks such as plowing land, planting crops, harvesting, and expelling wild beasts, right?

The cost of a cross-border mission is much higher than that of an ordinary low-level production mission, and it is completely not cost-effective.

Link used to live and spend money in Konoha Village. The farthest he had been was the Kingdom of Wind, and that was to do a mission. He had little time to play or spend money, so naturally he didn't need to use the currency of the Kingdom of Wind.

The situation in the Kingdom of Rivers is rather special, with internal strife and low national credibility. The currency of the Kingdom of Fire is more useful there than its own currency.

Just like in the previous life, many countries on Earth could use the US dollar.

The information he holds now comes from all over the world. The currencies of big countries are easy to get, as they can be exchanged through a gold exchange. Even if a handling fee is charged, it is not much, and free money is completely acceptable.

Some small countries have to worry about how to cash out their money, and if it is really necessary, they can just use it as materials for the Golden Binding Technique.

There was also a lot of waste money from destroyed countries. It was too hard to even use to wipe his butt. It was no different from fake money and could not be used to perform the Golden Binding Technique.

[I don't know if the currency that can be used suddenly disappears when the country is destroyed, will the Golden Binding Technique still recognize it? ]

Link thought about it seriously, this is indeed a good question, based on his understanding of his own ninjutsu, it is likely that if he didn't know that the country had been destroyed, then it would be usable, but if he knew, it would probably be scrapped.

[Forget it, forget it. Let’s choose the target in Tansho Street for the next mission. It’s worth 500,000 after all.]

He circled the message, stuffed the small notebook into his waist bag, then opened the scroll in front of him and read it with a heavy face.

Flying Thunder God is much more difficult than imagined.

So much so that he couldn't understand it at all.

His first thought was no different from that of most people when they came into contact with this secret technique. He thought that the complexity of the technique was impossible to learn. What he was reading now was just one of the notes and materials left by the Second Hokage on the process of developing the technique.

There is another box of the same scroll. There is only one real secret scroll, but he can't even understand it. He can only slowly read the development data.

This is much more difficult than the information on medical ninjutsu. A lot of the information on medical ninjutsu is about the structure of the human body and other things. He had come into contact with it in his previous life, but the information related to Flying Thunder God is all various kinds of unfamiliar tadpole scripts and a lot of knowledge that he had never seen before.

Learning it is just like torturing myself.

Maybe it’s time to consider plan B.
