Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 151 Contact with Akatsuki

"Under Cardo's arrangement, Uchiha Douguang and Kakashi took Naruto and the other two to have a good meal at the best restaurant in Konoha."

Cardo was sensible enough to suspend business tonight. The chefs and wait staff of the entire restaurant only served Uchiha Douguang and his group.

After eating and drinking, Kakashi took the three little ones back first, while Uchiha Douguang stayed.

Cardo waved his hand, and a waiter brought a cup of hot tea to Uchiha Douguang.

"Tell me, what's the matter with such a grand banquet?" Uchiha Douguang glanced at Cardo and said.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, Your Excellency, Grand Minister." Cardo smiled flatteringly and dismissed all the waiters present. Then he said to Uchiha Douguang, "The following is what happened. While Granny Cat and I were preparing to purchase raw materials, we received a warning from Calvin, the arms dealer from the Land of Lightning."

"Warning?" Uchiha Douguang raised his eyebrows. What did the old guy say?
"He said that the current ninja tool market is close to saturation and we are not qualified to participate. He said that if we must force our way into the market, it would be best to strengthen the factory's security." Cardo looked up at Uchiha Douguang's expression, organized his words and spoke.

Uchiha Douguang's face sank, he snorted coldly, and said, "Why, a Hakihei from the Land of Lightning wants to meddle in the affairs of the Land of Fire?"

"Your Excellency, Grand Minister, what should we do now?" Cardo asked cautiously.

"Let's do what we have to do!" Uchiha Douguang said coldly, "I remember you told me last time that this Hakihei has the support of the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Yes." Cardo said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Haha, that harpy Fourth Raikage Ai, does he mistake me for Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Uchiha Douguang sneered, "Where is the factory of that old guy named Calvin?"

"That guy's factory is located in the east of the Land of Thunder, in a special military industrial town." Cardo said.

"I understand. You continue to push forward with this matter. Don't worry about security. I will send a team of elite Uchiha jonin to serve as security for the ninja tool factory." Uchiha Douguang said, "Also, go and get 500 million in cash."

"Now?" Cardo was stunned when he heard this. Currently, all the working capital in the company has been invested in the construction of the ninja tool factory. Now Uchiha Douguang wants 500 million in cash, which he cannot come up with at the moment unless he uses his personal funds.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Uchiha Douguang looked up at Cardo and asked.

"No, please wait a moment." Cardo gritted his teeth, walked out of the private room, called his secretary, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Half an hour later, Cardo presented the two sealing scrolls with both hands.

Uchiha Douguang looked at the amount of money inside, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Cardo: "Very good, prepare well recently. I plan to let you take charge of the new urban area expansion plan around Konoha. Go and communicate with the boss of Yamato Construction."

"Yes!" A look of ecstasy instantly appeared on Cardo's face. Developing a new urban area together with Yamato Construction Group is a huge piece of cake.

Since the Fire Nation moved its capital to Konoha, these businessmen have entered many fields with their strong financial resources, but they are simply unable to intervene in the real estate field, which has huge profits. The reason is simple: it takes time and effort for others to build houses, but they only need to clap their hands, and the cost of a real estate project is no more than 20 Bingliang Pills. How can they compare with them?

Moreover, Yamato Construction is a legitimate state-owned enterprise of Konoha Village, and Uchiha Touma and Kakashi are behind it. Even if they want to intervene, they don't have the courage to do so.

And now, Uchiha Douguang actually promised him that his Cardo Group could also get a share of the development projects in the new urban area. How could he not be ecstatic?

[I know that as long as I can let His Excellency the Hokage see my loyalty, then His Excellency the Hokage will not be stingy.]

"Go and prepare early, and remember to do everything I asked you to do." Uchiha Douguang put the two scrolls containing cash into his pocket, then gave instructions to Cardo, and then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take you there." Cardo hurriedly followed and accompanied Uchiha Douguang to the hotel entrance.

After leaving Kado's restaurant, Uchiha Douguang went straight to Nanga Shrine.

Black Zetsu, having received word that Uchiha Tokou was on his way, hurried to take position.

The moment Uchiha Tokou stepped into the basement of the shrine, Black Zetsu emerged from the stone slabs.

"Junior, you're here." Black Zetsu said in a low voice.

"Ancestor." Uchiha Douguang bowed slightly, "How is the recent situation in the Hidden Mist Village?"

"According to what you said last time, the controlled Karatachi Yagura has already expressed his intention to support the civilian ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village against the bloodline families in the village. The dispute between the civilian ninjas of the entire Hidden Mist Village and the bloodline families has become more intense. Among them, the Kizuki clan and the Snow clan have been almost wiped out recently, leaving only two children who were taken away by Orochimaru who sneaked into the Hidden Mist." "Really?" Uchiha Toguro raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Orochimaru, who was being hunted by the entire ninja world recently, would still engage in the business of kidnapping and trafficking children.

"However, a new organization has emerged in Kirigakure recently. They are currently gathering the power of the bloodline family, which suffered heavy losses due to the siege of civilians. They have also recruited some civilian ninjas who are dissatisfied with the Fourth Mizukage, trying to overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage. Their leader is the woman you met in the tavern last time. In the next few days, I plan to let Karatachi Yagura send out the Anbu to suppress them." Black Zetsu said.

"It seems Kirigakure is very busy these days." Uchiha Douguang said with a chuckle, "But, ancestors, why do you want to suppress them?"

"We won't suppress them?" Black Zetsu was puzzled. "Are we going to let them overthrow the rule of Karutagi Yagura? We finally got such a useful chess piece like Karutagi Yagura."

"Ancestor, please take a long-term view." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile, "What we want is a chaotic Kirigakure. And what could cause more chaos in a village than a coup?"

"What are you going to do?" Black Zetsu said after taking a deep breath. After the last trip to Kirigakure, Black Zetsu also realized that when it comes to making trouble, a hundred of him cannot compare to Uchiha Tokou alone. Now that Uchiha Tokou has believed that he is Indra's will, he is not reluctant to listen to Uchiha Tokou's opinions on such matters.

"Can White Zetsu help me forge an identity that can blend into that group of rebels?" asked Uchiha Douguang.

"Okay." Black Zetsu nodded.

"That's enough. Things like rebellion need professionals to do it." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Black Zetsu nodded after understanding Uchiha Douguang's plan.

"By the way, ancestor, can you contact the Akatsuki organization with your backup in the ninja world?" Uchiha Douguang said.

Uchiha Douguang's question startled Black Zetsu who was about to leave. Then a little cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He thought to himself:

[Why would he ask that? Did he discover something?]

After seeing Black Zetsu's reaction, Uchiha Douguang had a faint smile on his face. After watching Black Zetsu stunned for a moment, he continued to speak:
"If not, forget it. I'll look for them through other channels."

After hearing what Uchiha Douguang said, Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "What do you want from the Akatsuki organization? I have a way to contact them."

"Really?" Uchiha Douguang pretended to be very surprised. "I never thought that you, ancestor, actually had the means to contact them."

"The establishment of this organization is closely related to Uchiha Madara, so it's normal for him to leave some backup plans to contact them." Black Zetsu explained, "But why are you looking for them?"

"Of course we will give them a task, but it needs to be kept confidential," said Uchiha Douguang.

"I understand." Black Zetsu nodded, and after a while, White Zetsu and A Fei crawled out from the ground.

"Salute to His Excellency Hokage! Chu! Cheng!" As soon as Ah Fei appeared, he saluted Uchiha Douguang.

The corner of Uchiha Douguang's mouth twitched slightly, but in order not to dampen the spirits of this helper who would be able to greatly help him next, Uchiha Douguang also raised his hand and saluted in response: "Loyalty."

Afterwards, Uchiha Douguang created a shadow clone, nodded to A Fei, and let A Fei entangled with his shadow clone. In an instant, the face and chakra fluctuations of Uchiha Douguang's shadow clone completely changed, and then, he and Black Zetsu dived underground.

……

Half an hour later, not far from an underground gold exchange in the Land of Hot Springs, Black Zetsu and the disguised clone of Uchiha Tokou emerged from the ground together.

"Is it here?" asked Uchiha Douguang's shadow clone.

"Yes, a team of Akatsuki members has been active around here recently." Black Zetsu nodded and said, "Also, if you want to hide your identity, you can just post the mission directly at this gold exchange."

"I see." Uchiha Douguang's clone nodded, then strode into the gold exchange office.

Uchiha Douguang's current disguise made it obvious that he was the type of person who was stupid and had a lot of money. Therefore, as soon as he walked into the gold exchange, the wandering ninjas staying in this underground gold exchange looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Uchiha Douguang said to the staff at the counter with a normal expression: "I have a task here, the reward is 500 million."
