I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

“Violence cannot bring peace; its peace is false and will collapse sooner or later.”

Itachi ignored Deidara's taunts and calmly stated his own views.

In his view, Byakuya's violence could not bring peace at all; at this moment, it was only because the other ninjas were afraid of him that they dared not attack him.

But Itachi knew very well that if he fought like Byakuya, his Mangekyou Sharingan would eventually go blind.

Although we don't know how Byakuya acquired Wood Release, his Land of Ninja will collapse when Byakuya weakens.

The ninjas who were killed by Byakuya will never forget this day.

Even if he unifies the ninja world, it will only be temporary, and he will not gain Itachi Uchiha's approval!

That's right! !

Uchiha Itachi's resolve was now even stronger: he had watched him build a tall building, watched him entertain guests, and watched his building collapse!

Wait!

Alliances built in this way are never truly strong.

Bai Ye will eventually understand that killing can never bring true peace.

Furthermore, he has gathered so many ninja villages together. If the other side secretly contacts and launches an attack, Byakuya's alliance will completely collapse, and he will pay the price for it.

Itachi Uchiha had already seen through everything.

This is nothing more than Bai Ye's last fantasy. Does he really think he can unify the ninja world?

This will only make the ninja world more chaotic. Why not maintain the balance policy that the Third Hokage implemented?

At least for now, everyone is maintaining a balance, and a bigger war is unlikely to break out. As long as things are within the rules, why should he resist?

"Is this guy possessed?"

Scorpion glanced at Itachi Uchiha, but didn't say much. Actually, thinking about it, although Itachi Uchiha was a bit obsessed, he felt that what he said made some sense.

The ninja world that Byakuya suppressed with force might indeed collapse once Byakuya dies.

But this isn't as exaggerated as Itachi Uchiha made it out to be, is it?

To be honest, he didn't support Byakuya's policies when he was in Konoha, which is why he eventually defected from Konoha.

"Payne, we'll have fewer opportunities to take on missions in the future. How are we going to make money then?"

Kakuzu didn't care whether the ninja world was at peace or what kind of changes Byakuya would bring to it.

All he wants right now is to make money!

Although the money had to be handed over to the organization after each transaction, Xiao Nan repeatedly assured that she would ensure the money was not misused.

But he still felt a little insecure.

He always felt it was a mistake to let a woman manage his money, but considering that Konan wore the Akatsuki uniform every day and didn't squander the money, he was temporarily relieved.

But now that the ninja world has been unified, there are obviously fewer shady missions.

These tasks were originally things that the five major ninja villages and some smaller ninja villages couldn't do openly, so they were put in the underground exchange.

After that, there were far fewer opportunities to make money.

"We've already made some money from the war, so if we run out of missions later, it'll be really difficult!"

Kakuzu frowned, clearly wanting Payne to come up with a solution.

"We can rob that guy named Kado from the Land of Waves of money."

"Hey, hey, hey! Pain, we're ninjas! We're ninjas with principles! Would we rob civilians?"

Although Kakuzu likes money, he would never stoop to robbing ordinary people.

What a joke!

I was the man who fought against the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!

He hasn't stooped so low as to prey on ordinary people; he still has some shame!

"There's a lot of money, more than you might not earn even after three years of work."

"Give me the mission. Since this guy has so much money, he's no ordinary person. If the Hokage can do it, why can't I, Kakuzu?"

If Bai Ye can kill noble daimyo, and he started it, why can't I, Jiao, do the same?

"Kakuzu, you really do only care about money, not people!"

Hidan muttered in dissatisfaction, "This guy just kept saying he wouldn't lay a hand on civilians."

Upon hearing Payne's words, he immediately changed his attitude, realizing that he had genuinely thought Kakuzu wouldn't make a move.

"What do you know? Everything in this world will betray you, except the money in your pocket!"

Kakuzu's eyes gleamed, and he became quite excited when money was mentioned.

Money is the only truth. He himself is reluctant to eat or drink, and he saves all the money he earns for Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan said that she would return the money to him after he leaves the Akatsuki organization. He is really looking forward to the day when his little treasure trove arrives.

"What about Konoha? Should we send someone to investigate?"

Sasori looked at Pain and asked, "It seems that if Konoha doesn't investigate, it won't be good news for them."

If the other side wants to unify the ninja world, then as rogue ninjas, they might also be purged later, right?

Upon hearing Sasori's words, a glint flashed in Itachi's eyes. He wanted to go back and see Sasuke; it seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen him.

I wonder how Sasuke is doing, but I can't go back for the time being.

"No need, someone has already gone there."

Hearing Payne's words, the others didn't say anything more.

Is it that guy?

"Should we split up after Konan enters Konoha?"

Zetsu and Konan arrived at the outskirts of Konoha, but the barrier was not open due to recent renovations.

At the same time, all sorts of people can sneak in during this period. In addition, since the major ninja villages have been merged, there are not many fools who dare to go in and cause trouble. Konoha is really not just a name now. Even if the Akatsuki organization went in, they would probably die inside.

So Zetsu was also very careful. He could use his transformation technique to get in, and most people wouldn't be able to detect him, but there was still a chance of being discovered. So he decided to sneak in. As for Konan's identity, there was no need to worry. She wasn't on the list of rogue ninjas at all, so Konan could also get in.

"can."

Konan didn't want to be with Zetsu either; she had come to Konoha on a mission.

Chapter 140 My first meeting with Xiao Nan, and my wavering heart.

"Is this what they call the Land of Ninjas?"

After Xiao Nan and Jue parted ways, Xiao Nan entered the village alone, and everything in the village shocked her.

It turns out that it really is possible to bring all the villages together and have everyone live together.

The ninjas had removed their original headbands and put on new ones custom-made by the Land of Ninjas, but they could still be identified from their respective villages by many distinctive features.

Because many people have just moved here, business is booming. All sorts of things that Konan has never seen in the Land of Rain can be found here.

This is perhaps what they have been searching for all along.

"Big sister, would you like to buy a bottle of perfume? This is a special perfume for today. To commemorate the five great ninja villages becoming one, the Hokage didn't tell the leader that this is a special limited edition with a unique design. It won't be sold again, so it's a very commemorative and collectible item!"

In front of Konan, a child was promoting perfume. Many people who had just arrived were unemployed, so the village offered them jobs similar to salespeople. They could earn a share of the profits from each sale, which attracted the attention of many of the young ninja village children who had just joined.

They come from a small place, don't have much money, and don't have the resources of a major ninja village. They do any job that pays, and it's actually profitable. The entire ninja village is developing now, and many things can be easily sold.

"Limited edition?"

Konan picked up the perfume the child handed her and examined it for a while. Because of the Uchiha Trading Company's promotion, these products had also appeared in the Land of Rain.

In the Land of Rain, Konan also bought a bottle of perfume. Although she only used it once to try it out and never used it again, the scent of osmanthus is still fresh in her memory.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a limited edition.

"Big sister, would you like to buy a bottle? There won't be any left after this."

"Which village are you from?"

"Everyone in the Land of Snow says that you can live a good life here, so I came along."

The child said shyly that he came from a small country and was afraid of being discriminated against, but after arriving here, he found that it seemed that no one cared about such things at all.

This put his mind at ease.

"The Land of Snow?"

Xiao Nan murmured something, gazing at the limited-edition perfume in her hand. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "How much?"

Although the organization is currently short of money, and Kakuzu feels somewhat guilty for spending money while working hard, seeing the hopeful eyes of the child in front of him, and remembering that the other person is just like him, from a small country, and came to Konoha to make a living, he thought...

Xiao Nan decided to buy it, not because it was a limited edition.

Three thousand taels

so expensive?

Xiao Nan muttered to herself, but since she had already said it, she couldn't very well return the perfume.

No wonder most of the things on this child have been sold, but this one is still left. It seems there aren't many people who can afford to buy this kind of thing.

This tiny bottle is selling for three thousand taels of silver. If ten thousand bottles were sold, wouldn't that be thirty million taels of silver? Isn't that easier than doing a mission?

After handing the money to the child, Xiao Nan felt a little regretful. Kakuzu trusted her so much and entrusted her with the money. Although she had been buying explosive tags, it was indeed related to her personal enjoyment.

However, since she had already made the purchase, Xiao Nan completely suppressed that slight sense of guilt.

She was then drawn to some of the novelties of Konoha.

All day long, Konan forgot what she was supposed to do. She just went wherever she wanted, saw whatever she wanted, and ate whatever she wanted. This was a combination of the characteristics of five ninja villages, plus some characteristics of other small ninja villages.

Everything here was so new to Xiao Nan; she couldn't even remember how much she had eaten or how many things she had bought.

All she knew was that she seemed to have spent a lot of money this time, which suddenly made Xiao Nan's previously suppressed guilt rise again. After thinking about it, she finally decided that she would definitely not spend money like that tomorrow!

But this ramen is actually quite delicious.

Is it Ichiraku Ramen?
