I am the most popular character in Naruto!

The Land of Earth is vast and sparsely populated, so the most important thing is how to increase the population to fill such a large land area.

On the Land of Lightning's side, the Fourth Raikage, A, went completely overboard and, ignoring the elders' advice, opened up the Land of Lightning's ninjutsu manuals, breaking the cultural blockade.

Apart from a few extreme secret techniques and those used to maintain the Raikage lineage's advantage, all other ninjutsu manuals were distributed to all the ninjas in the Land of Lightning.

To those stubborn and conservative elders, the Fourth Raikage A first persuaded them with reason, then with force, and finally silenced them by wielding a brat named Darui who had learned Storm Release.

Of the five great nations, the most surprising is the Water Country, which has been developing quietly.

Thanks to Mei Terumi's early ascension to the position of the Fifth Mizukage, the bloodline limit families in the Land of Water have been preserved quite well.

The Land of Water has always adhered to a low-key development policy, clinging to the Land of Fire, and like a certain rabbit, quietly learning everything from the superpower. Now, in terms of national strength, it is already quite powerful.

The core objective of the Land of Water right now is to increase some high-end combat power. If each of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen could become a Kage-level powerhouse, wouldn't they be considered a Super Kage if they were combined?

With the addition of top-tier strength like the Super Kage, although they are still not as powerful as the Land of Fire, they can still put the Land of Wind in their place.

As for the Land of Fire, needless to say, after Chiaki's departure, in order to maintain the title of the number one country in the ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi went into a desperate mode.

As the saying goes, what the superiors do, the subordinates follow. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was still working hard even at the age of over sixty. How could the ninjas below him have the nerve to relax?

Who isn't just like Hiruzen Sarutobi, desperately taking on missions, training, and strengthening themselves?

Everyone felt a sense of urgency. Without the protection of the Goddess of Life, Konoha was utterly vulnerable to the threat of a Kage-level opponent!

We must improve our overall strength in order to deal with external enemies.

If there were any ninjas who were just giving up, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be the first to disagree!

what?

You mean Jiraiya, who has nothing to do all day?

This……

He's a different story!

In short, just give Jiraiya a pretext to find evidence against Orochimaru, and let him do whatever he wants.

That makes sense. Jiraiya, having discovered that Orochimaru wasn't actually bad, started constantly pestering Orochimaru to ask for Tsunade's position.

Jiraiya used to have no interest in sticking to Orochimaru. They were both men, so what was there to be so close about?

But things are different now!

Orochimaru has turned into a girl!

She's still such a beautiful and charming girl!

This way, it's much easier to apply!

Most importantly, even though Orochimaru has become a woman, she still retains a male mindset!

Even if she were to pinch and grope Orochimaru, taking advantage of him at will, she wouldn't feel much.

This is very comfortable!

Apart from the bespectacled boy next to her constantly glaring at her with murderous intent, everything was fine.

Judging from the previous process of Chiaki becoming a girl, Orochimaru still needs some time to adapt to his female identity. Take advantage of this time to quickly instill some ideas in Orochimaru, just in case he can help others find happiness in the future and have women on both sides?

Jiraiya's mouth was watering.

Anyway, that's how things are between Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Jiraiya then went to the Sound Village and casually pointed out some details of Orochimaru's plan for the Sound Village. The Sound Village then entered a rapid development mode.

Tsunade……

Ugh, no need to mention it. After finding out that Reiko Kawasawa was Chiaki's good friend, she stayed in the Land of Hot Springs the whole time.

It feels so good to have connections!

For Reiko Kawasawa, the 12 million yen she spent on Tsunade was nothing. Tsunade didn't dare ask for too much money and just spent it little by little.

Reiko Kawasawa used money to bribe daimyo in other countries, and those bribes were in the hundreds of millions.

It's fortunate that the Land of Hot Springs is a huge money pit, where every penny spent is earned back; otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to support such a large amount of consumption.

Those daimyo who received the money reciprocated by frequently visiting the Land of Hot Springs.

After all, each member of the family takes care of everything and contributes their efforts; they are at most just mascots and not very useful.

Since that's the case, why not go out and have some fun? At the same time, you can claim to be engaging in "friendly exchanges" with daimyo from other countries in the Land of Hot Water.

This damned Land of Hot Springs, under the guidance of some wise man, has actually opened a water park for cooling off and developed a new type of clothing called something like a bikini.

With the support of bikinis and water parks, Hot Springs is doing exceptionally well.

Even in certain unspeakable matters, that expert recommended the famous Suiryukei Garden to Reiko Kawasawa, a place specifically for high-ranking daimyo, so that he could gain leverage over them.

Say something.

The results are amazing!

In any case, those daimyo all have to be very polite to Kawasawa Reiko, for fear that one day they will be exposed for some problem and be forced to step down.

Thus, the ninja world developed rapidly in an atmosphere where ninjas worked hard and fought desperately, while the common people indulged in decadence and enjoyment.

As for that master, he used the alias Lady Night Goddess and wandered the Land of Hot Springs at night.

Rumor has it that nightclubs visited by Mrs. Yagami experience a real sales boom.

Of course, if the nightclub doesn't satisfy Mrs. Night God, then sorry, you won't even need to open for business that night, not even the next day.

There are many people who want to make money in the Land of Hot Springs, and many people who want to open a shop there. We don't need you.

In the infamous underground exchange, besides the ever-present SSS-rank mission to kill the Goddess of Life, the second mission is to uncover the true face of Lady Night, who only appears at night and wears a veil.

And a nonsensical but very expensive quest.

[S-Rank Mission: Use sensors to locate target locations. A reward of 10 taels will be given for each location found. Bonuses will be awarded based on sensor performance, with a maximum reward of 1 million taels!]

Chapter 656 S-Rank Mission

S-rank mission!

It's still such a simple search task!

Furthermore, they only need to locate the position using the sensors provided by the other party, without even needing to fight!

Although its base reward is less than that of other tasks of the same level, its commission is higher!

The ninjas at the underground exchange immediately went into a riot, scrambling to claim this simple S-rank mission.

Upon seeing this, the higher-ranking ninjas sneered.

Who knows what this task is, and that sensor is just a small bracelet? Everyone who accepts the task can get it by paying a deposit. It's outrageous.

Let's wait and see how things go...

"Drip-drip-"

"C-rank ninja 'Kong' completed the mission! Sensors determined it to be D-rank! Basic reward of 10 taels has been received!"

The girl with short blue hair who was in charge of reception smiled sweetly, took out a money bag from the front desk and handed it to a thin and weak-looking boy. The boy was wearing an animal mask, and he took the money bag with a flattered expression, looking around warily.

Seeing the restless energy emanating from the surrounding ninjas, the C-rank ninja immediately made up his mind.

"Please exchange this for points from the underground exchange, thank you!"

He spoke to the short-haired girl with blue hair at the front desk, who smiled again, took out a card and handed it to him, while also taking back his purse.

"After deducting a handling fee of 1 taels, here is a transaction card for you. Please sign the contract and bind your account with your blood."

"well!"

The C-rank ninja quickly completed the contract signing for the trading card as instructed by the short-haired blue-haired girl, and obtained 89,000 trading points.

The trading card and trading point system of this underground exchange was also instructed to Kawasawa Reiko by that expert.

That expert even proposed a system exclusive to trading points, creating a special shop to sell items that could only be purchased through trading points.

For example, some rare weapons, explosive tags, ration pills, ninjutsu scrolls, etc.

No transaction fee is deducted when trading with transaction points. A 1% transaction fee is only deducted when exchanging silver for transaction points or vice versa. Registering a transaction card requires 1 transaction points.

This move garnered approval from many low-level ninjas. After all, carrying a money bag that could be stolen at any moment was definitely safer than carrying a card that was universally accepted in all underground exchanges and was linked to one's identity!

As for the 1% handling fee, well, as long as you don't use money to exchange for points, then there's no handling fee, right?

After all, underground exchanges have developed over the years, and with the guidance of that expert, they have become large-scale and formalized institutions.

On underground exchanges, you can have anything you want, as long as you pay enough trading points.

In addition, there is a special blind box lottery area where you can draw any item from the prize pool for just 1000 trading points.

Money, weapons, women, ninja scrolls...

Anything that can arouse people's desires will appear in the prize pool, with the probability and a guaranteed minimum.

This area is most popular among low-level ninjas, since they always dream of getting rich overnight.

Many respectable people are puzzled as to why such an institution can still exist, but once they reach a certain level of power and status, they will know that behind this exchange stands Reiko Kawasawa, the lady of the daimyo of Yu-no-Kuni!

If what she possesses were to be leaked, it would cause an earthquake throughout the entire ninja world.

After the C-rank ninja "Ku" successfully completed the C-rank mission, many other low-rank ninjas came to turn in their missions.

"Drip-drip-"

"D-rank ninja 'Kong' completes mission! Sensors determine C-rank! Basic reward of 10 taels! Bonus of 10 taels!"

"Drip-drip-"

"C-rank ninja 'Saitama' has completed the mission! Sensors have determined it to be A-rank! Basic reward of 10 taels! Bonus of 100 taels! Congratulations!"

"Drip-drip-"

"Rank A ninja 'Wolf Fang' has completed the mission! The sensor has determined it to be Rank E! Unfortunately, you won't receive the reward."

"Drip-drip-"

"Sorry, the ninja for this location has already been submitted, so you won't be able to receive the reward."

Immediately, the ninjas who were waiting to observe could no longer sit still.

Goodness, those C-rank and D-rank ninjas can become rich overnight, isn't this mission simple enough?
