Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Seeing Uchiha Tomita's somewhat anxious expression, Uchiha Nan knew that something must have happened at the front line and that he had important information to discuss with her.

After saying that, Kaede and Rin tactfully left, leaving Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita in the room.

"An urgent military situation has arisen in Kirigakure!"

Uchiha Nan's heart skipped a beat. The attack wasn't scheduled yet, so why was there a problem on the Kirigakure side?

"Explain the situation in detail!"

"The Hidden Mist Village and the Uzumaki Village have already clashed."

"."

Uchiha Tomita explained the situation in detail.

Kirigakure is an isolated island nation located overseas. Its geographical location is somewhat similar to that of the troublemaker Daiying on Earth. However, Kirigakure is clearly not destined to become Daiying. It lacks the strength to play the continental balance strategy.

This time, they planned to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, and they had been secretly mobilizing their troops. However, despite their best efforts, they were discovered by Konoha's good brother, the Land of Whirlpools.

The Uzukage of Uzu Village led the Uzu ninja in a surprise attack on the port of Kirigakure, intending to burn the warships that Kirigakure used to launch a sneak attack on Konoha.

He didn't even say hello to Konoha; he truly is Konoha's good brother.

The Land of Whirlpools is a small country, and the Whirlpool Village is an even smaller ninja village. Although the Uzumaki clan has some strength, it is still like an egg hitting a rock when facing a large ninja village like the Hidden Mist Village.

Normally, small ninja villages would run away as fast as they can when faced with such a situation. For example, the Land of Grass is located between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Amegakure, which aspires to become the sixth largest ninja village. It sides with whoever is stronger, making it a complete opportunist.

However, the original Konoha was a bit inhumane; good brothers are in your hearts, but if something happens, you can't get through on the phone.

This surprise attack likely sowed the seeds of the Uzumaki clan's eventual annihilation.

Chapter 75 If I can't beat the foreigners, can't I beat you?

When will we send people to support the Land of Whirlpools?

Uchiha Tomita naturally believed that Konoha should send people to support the Land of Whirlpools. With their number one underling so loyal and taking the lead, Konoha, as the leader, couldn't afford to be a slacker.

Although the Uzumaki and Senju clans are on good terms, and the Hokage of Konoha has been replaced by the Uchiha, the Uchiha will not take advantage of his misfortune.

If the Uzumaki clan could actually shed their last drop of blood for Konoha while Konoha stood by and watched, would Konoha even be considered human?

Uchiha Nan did not rush to express his opinion after hearing this, but pondered how to deal with the Uzumaki clan.

It's definitely not acceptable to exterminate the Uzumaki clan like in the original story. Uchiha Nan has a sense of shame and wouldn't do something so shameless.

However, the Uzumaki clan and Konoha have such a good relationship, they're practically inseparable, so why not just merge them? After all, Konoha's territory is huge, and the surrounding lands all belong to Konoha, enough to accommodate the Uzumaki clan.

However, this matter requires careful preparation and cannot be rushed.

"Let the bullets fly for a while. The Vortex Clan won't be so easily defeated. They must have something to rely on if they dare to make a move."

"Send a small team over to scout the situation first. They can't hold on any longer, so be ready to provide support at any time."

Adding flowers to brocade is no match for providing charcoal in the snow. Uchiha Nan wouldn't do a deal that comes too easily; he'd have the Uzumaki clan ask him for help first.

Uchiha Tomita nodded and went to prepare the battle plan according to Uchiha Nan's instructions.

After Uchiha Tomita left, Uchiha Nan planned to immediately inform Nara Shikamaru, who was still in the Land of Fire, that the futures trading plan needed to be accelerated.

The fighting has already broken out in Kirigakure, and the price of pig iron will probably double or triple. So far, apart from the initial low price of about 4 billion and the subsequent slow increase of 700-800 million, Uchiha Nan's total investment is only about 5 billion.

This time, the money is coming from the nobles and big merchants of the Land of Fire; the more you invest, the more you earn!

News of the fighting will reach the Land of Fire in a day or two at most, and those merchants and nobles will definitely drive up prices just like the hungry wolves.

Uchiha Nan couldn't give them that chance; he had to pump up the price beforehand so they could get high-priced shares!

Fog Hidden Battlefield

Looking at the devastated port, Hozuki Gengetsu gritted his teeth in frustration. His meticulously planned surprise attack had gone wrong.

Under the cover of night, this damned Uzumaki clan approached the port of Kirigakure's warships in small boats. Each of them was covered in explosive tags and oil, and they rushed onto the ships as soon as they saw them, turning into suicide infantry.

The Hidden Mist Village reacted quickly, rushing to intercept them immediately, but when they attacked the Uzumaki Ninja, they turned into smoke!

Damn it, they're all clones!

The clones traveled a long distance to attack Kirigakure, yet they didn't disappear even after their chakra was exhausted. The Uzumaki clan must have an enormous amount of chakra.

The Uzumaki clan learned Tobirama Senju's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. This technique was perfect for the Uzumaki clan. Their goal was clear: to attack the warships. After all, if the clones died, at most some of the damage would be transferred back to the main body. The Uzumaki clan had high HP, so they wouldn't die even if they were hit by an explosion.

The Uzumaki clan has a way of courting death; they actually dared to provoke Kirigakure.

"How is the rescue of the warships going?"

Hozuki Gengetsu asked the Hidden Mist ninja beside him, as this concerned the grand strategy of attacking Konoha.

Money, manpower, and supplies are almost ready; the die is cast and the die must be cast. We cannot give up because of this little commotion.

"The vortex ninja's tactics were too despicable. We were caught off guard and four decks of our warship were burned. It will take some time to repair them!"

"Repair the warships at all costs! The fighter jets have already been delayed; we can't afford to delay any longer!"

Hozuki Gengetsu, clutching his head, issued the order: repairing these ships would cost a considerable amount of money, and there was a way to speed up the repairs.

Add money!

With the money in place, the ship repairs will be faster. "Boss, should we retaliate?"

"How dare the tiny Land of Whirlpools provoke our Hidden Mist Village! They're asking for trouble!"

With the Executioner's Blade on his back, Pipa Juzo spoke with resentment. As one of the elites carefully selected by Hozuki Gengetsu, he received the Executioner's Blade and bore the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

This attack on Konoha is aimed at achieving great merit and making a name for ourselves.

Before they even reached Konoha Village, they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. The inexperienced young man was extremely unwilling to accept this.

"Yes, boss, we can't just let this go. I'm going to capture these ninja alive and then skin them alive, one slice at a time!"

Kushimaru Kurihara, holding a spiked longsword, chimed in from the side. His mind had become twisted due to the horrific selection process in Kirigakure, and he enjoyed torturing his enemies. This time, the Uzumaki ninja's actions were like dancing in his minefield.

"Yeah yeah"

"."

The remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist all expressed their intention to deal with the Uzumaki clan first.

"Okay, shut up!"

Hozuki Gengetsu was driven crazy by the noise. He looked at the group of unruly brats with a bit of helplessness. Each of them had their tails sticking up as soon as they got their ninja swords. Each of them had their own unique skills. Only the Mizukage could keep them in check. They didn't take the rest of them seriously at all.

Do they really think war is child's play? Konoha should have already received intelligence about Kirigakure's attack through the Land of Whirlpools. The Uzumaki clan's audacity in acting so arrogantly suggests they've already consulted with Konoha.

If we just rashly retaliate like this, what if there's an ambush?

"Lord Mizukage, the intelligence about Iwagakure that you've been keeping an eye on has arrived!"

A ninja from the Mist quickly approached Hozuki Gengetsu with the intelligence report. Upon hearing that there was information about Iwagakure, Hozuki Gengetsu immediately perked up.

After reading it, Hozuki Gengetsu's face showed an angry expression.

The Tsuchikage, that mummy, is also planning to attack Konoha at this time, which is about the same time I chose!

Konoha has a new Hokage, and it's a member of the Uchiha clan who's in power. The village is definitely unstable. The Senju clan isn't going to sit idly by; they won't let the Uchiha consolidate their power so easily.

Attacking Konoha at this time would definitely be advantageous, and his nemesis, the Tsuchikage Mu, clearly shared the same idea.

Now that Konoha is on alert, it will be extremely difficult to launch a surprise attack on Konoha according to the original plan, and the warships will also need some time to be repaired.

Are we just going to let the Tsuchikage take advantage of Konoha for nothing?

Hozuki Gengetsu couldn't accept this reality. His mortal enemy, Tsuchikage Mu, had benefited, while he had suffered such a loss for nothing. He was sure he would be ridiculed the next time they met.

Thinking this, Hozuki Gengetsu instantly changed his stance. If he couldn't further weaken Konoha's strength, weakening Iwagakure's strength would be acceptable.

Since there's no chance to attack Konoha, I'll launch a surprise attack on Iwagakure. That damned Tsuchikage Mu will never expect me to pull this stunt.

During the First Shinobi World War, Konoha and Kumogakure fought from beginning to end, suffering heavy losses. Meanwhile, Iwagakure and Iwagakure have been keeping a low profile. If Iwagakure were to gain an advantage over Konoha again, wouldn't Iwagakure be destined for greatness in the future?

That's settled then. We'll pretend to attack Konoha, then sneak up behind Iwagakure and blast them in the back!

If I can't beat Konoha, can't I beat Iwagakure?

Chapter 76 Kakuzu: You're all just韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for being exploited)!!

Futures Hall

"It doubled in price?"

"Is war about to break out?"

"Make way! If you're not buying, don't crowd around here. I'm going all in, ten thousand taels!"

"."

Overnight, the futures trading hall became like a bustling market, not only incredibly noisy but also packed with people.

Uchiha Nan and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire joined forces to manipulate the market, doubling the price of pig iron in one night, igniting enthusiasm in the futures market overnight.

In the past, only nobles and wealthy merchants with large sums of money were qualified to participate in the hoarding of pig iron for profit.

But things are different now. Because of Uchiha Nan's appearance, the barrier to entry for speculating on pig iron has been drastically reduced. Even roadside vendors with a little savings can make a living by speculating on pig iron for a month or two.

The first group of people to take the plunge have already doubled their assets. As word spread, people from all walks of life have developed a strong interest in pig iron futures.

"How could this be? They're growing so fast!"

Kakuzu watched as the price of pig iron skyrocketed, the red rising portion making him insanely envious.

White Fang's assets have grown from over ten million to over twenty million taels. It's just a pity that Mr. White Fang has hidden his account, so we can't see his profits grow with our own eyes.

However, just by imagining it, Kakuzu could already envision how lucrative Master White Fang's gains would be.

The money he earned in one night could have kept Kakuzu busy with ordinary bounty missions for several months.

Want to take action?

Kakuzu's hands trembled slightly, and his heart pounded. He had only studied the manual that White Fang had given him for a short time, and had not yet mastered it to the point where he could put it into practice.
