In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 27 Scorpio's Dissatisfaction
This ceiling had indeed been dismantled and could be easily removed.

Inside the compartment, there is a safe.

On the upper level of the ceiling corresponding to the light bulb, there is a simple mechanism arranged with ropes and gears. When the light bulb is turned, the gears are also pulled, driving the ropes.

The rope fixes the dismantled ceiling. Once the rope is pulled, the ceiling will naturally be lowered.

If you continue to turn the light bulb, the rope will also catch the safe and push it down through the missing piece of the ceiling.

It's a very simple design, but undoubtedly very practical. Unless it is violently demolished and checked, or a high-tech all-round scan like Batman, it's not easy to find.

Naturally, the key to this safe was destroyed by Hei Jin along with the key to the room and its owner.

But Qingshui is not without a solution.

For ninjas, the only truly secure means of protection is sealing techniques. For locks like this one, there are multiple ways to break them.

Qingshui took out a paper clip with a polished tip, connected it with the chakra line and drilled into the safe, swung it up and down a few times, then pulled it out, and finally twisted the paper clip a few times, making it look like a key and reinserted it.

This trick had been used by a fellow villain in Arkham before, but that guy relied on experience and skills, while Shimizu used chakra lines to sense the situation inside the keyhole and was able to infer the shape of the key.

"Kacha."

The safe was opened, revealing green US dollar bills and the refreshing scent of ink.

A smile appeared on Qingshui's face.

Although there are no gold bars this time, the amount of money is obviously much more than the last time we met the gangster boss, so the overall harvest should not be much less.

If you want to be rich, what's the point of just working hard to make money and saving money? You still have to rely on exploiting others.

Chidi Cole and the gangster boss of the nightclub they met before were both leaders of small gangs, but they could easily possess such a huge sum of money.

"Boss! There's a total of $410,000 in here!"

After the accountant finished the inventory, he said to Qingshui excitedly.

"Take out 200,000 and divide it equally among the brothers. Take out another 100,000 and buy some guns and stuff. The rest will be mine. In addition..."

"From now on, the Cole Gang will no longer be called the Cole Gang. It will be called the Hogg United instead."

After receiving the reward, the gangsters were naturally happy and cheered joyfully.

Having just subdued this group of subordinates, naturally I have to give them some benefits. In addition to the methods I have shown before, I have to use both force and power, a two-pronged approach, to make these people do their work better.

Perhaps feeling that he had gained a closer relationship with the new boss, Accountant Dura approached Qingshui and started a conversation after helping to distribute the money.

"Hogg United? Boss Walter, this doesn't sound very impressive, does it?"

"Those gangs called what-and-what-not are known to even a fool. Let's change the name to Hogg United. It at least sounds like a legal organization and won't easily attract the attention of those bat monsters. Then we can set up a football club or something like that. Then we will be a legitimate organization, a private society."

Qingshui explained to Dura.

The other hooligans were basically field servants educated by some poor thugs, except Dura who had been to college.

The quality of church universities in the United States varies greatly. The good ones are indeed world-class universities, but most of them are regional, serving specific communities and groups, and their quality is not very high.

The Gotham Gladia Catholic University where he studied cannot be compared with top-notch institutions like Gotham University and Midtown University, but it is also considered a regular university.

Dura is the only person under his command who has received higher education and has certain auxiliary management capabilities. He is worthy of Qingshui's attention.

"I see. In the future, we can also use the financial form of private money associations as an excuse to collect protection fees, which will make it less likely for outsiders to catch us.

But boss, I think I have to remind you that this is Gotham's slums. The rules of the rich areas don't apply here. The rule here is that whoever has more guns, more people, and whoever can fight better can occupy more territory and get more money. In the future, the growth of the gang still depends on fists. Of course, I think no one here has a harder fist than you."

Dura pushed up his glasses and said. Qingshui nodded in satisfaction.

This guy is very smart.

……

……

Naruto World.

One day has passed since the last S-level mission event.

After Jianxue used medical ninjutsu to stabilize Ishido's injuries, everyone escorted him back to the Sand Village for better treatment.

The Third Kazekage returned to the front line.

Now that Hatake Sakumo is seriously injured, it is the best time to counterattack Konoha, and he is needed to take charge of the situation.

Ebizo specially approved a few days of vacation for the Sixth Team so that everyone could have a good rest.

However, Qingshui still planned to go to the puppet army base as usual to train puppets.

But when Shimizu arrived at the base, he found that Scorpion had already been assembling puppets on the workbench.

"Scorpion, what are you doing..."

"I was here all night last night."

Scorpion pointed at the repaired salamander next to him and looked at the clear water again.

"Those two puppets of yours are pretty good. Let's compete again after I finish assembling the black ants."

"Black ants..."

Shimizu looked at the puppet that Scorpion was assembling.

Although it has not been assembled yet, the general shape has already emerged.

Obviously, this is an upgraded version of the termite, except that it is larger in size and the material has also been changed.

"You have something on your mind?"

Qingshui felt that Scorpion's current condition was a little abnormal.

Considering that Scorpion would make his childhood friends into puppets in the future, and when he grew up he assassinated the Third Kazekage and made him into a puppet as well, Shimizu was a little worried that Scorpion might want to make himself into a puppet as well.

After all, he and Scorpion are teammates, and he had even defeated Scorpion in a selection.

It is best to correct Scorpio's situation as much as possible while he is still young.

Scorpion paused, but then started installing the parts at a faster speed, and said:

"What about you? You seem to admire the Third Kazekage?"

"Maybe. At least in the Sand Village, at present, we are all subordinate to the Third Kazekage. What about you? Are you dissatisfied with him?"

Scorpion pursed his lips, stopped what he was doing, and stared at Qingshui with his bright eyes.

"He didn't lead us to victory over Konoha, and many people died."

Is this the reason why you assassinated the Third Kazekage a few years later?
Sure enough, this child is just like Uchiha Itachi. No one taught him since childhood, and his brain has grown crooked.
