The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

It's almost impossible to fool such a shrewd person, so it's better to tell the truth. Anyway, she has a way to cover it up!

"How much is 'not much'?!" Kakuzu frowned slightly.

"We only have about 200 million taels of working capital left," Xiao Nan said calmly.

"Are you kidding me?! I earn more than two hundred million taels every year!"

"We need to spend not only within the organization, but also on Amegakure!" Xiao Nan said calmly. "Amegakure isn't wealthy, so I need to wait for subsidies."

"Hmph! Let them fend for themselves!" Kakuzu said discontentedly.

"Tell me your plan," Xiao Nan said indifferently. "If your plan is good, I'll give you the money, and I might even give you some extra."

"Go to Konoha and find that monster. If we explain the situation, they should be able to handle that Tailed Beast weapon." Kakuzu said unhappily. Although it was only about 200 million, it was better than nothing. "If Konoha is willing to get involved, they might be able to rescue the leader."

"…………" Konoha, Hyuga Hakutsuki, is it...?

Xiao Nan fell silent; in that instant, she thought about many things.

However, when he thought about how Nagato almost killed Jiraiya-sensei not long ago, that moment of excitement turned into deep guilt.

"Right now, in the ninja world, I'm afraid only Konoha can handle that newcomer, right?! Space-time ninjutsu is not easy to deal with." Ignoring Konan's silence, Kakuzu said absentmindedly, "As for Hyuga Hakugetsu's strength, even if the First Hokage of Konoha were to be resurrected, he might not be a match for him."

"..." Xiao Nan remained silent. The inner struggle made her increasingly uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Xiaonan slowly raised her head and looked at Kakuzu.

"Why are you looking at me?! The leader may be a respectable person, but he's irrelevant to me."

"Thank you, Kakuzu!" Konan said calmly, then spread her wings and flew towards Konoha. "The organization is in danger right now, and it's not easy to get that money."

"Are you kidding me?!" Kakuzu's expression immediately changed.

"I can pay you with items of equal value." Xiao Nan silently began to use her secret technique.

One after another, explosive tags appeared in front of Kakuzu.

"Hmph, what use is this little bit of stuff?!" Kakuzu did not deny the price of the explosive tags.

This thing can be considered the hard currency of ninjas. Even in peacetime, the price of an explosive tag can reach 300 taels, and in wartime, the price can soar to three times or even more.

But how can a few detonating tags compare to two hundred million taels of silver?

"Give me enough time, and I can easily produce a mere one million explosive tags," Xiao Nan said without changing her expression.

The printed-looking explosive tags also indirectly confirmed her statement.

Gollum~

Swallowing hard, Kakuzu, who had initially been disdainful, stared dumbfounded at the exploding tags floating around him.

Just now, I turned my head away because I was annoyed and didn't want to look at Xiao Nan. In the short time it took to say those few words, thousands of explosive tags were floating around Xiao Nan. Moreover, Xiao Nan seemed to be possessed by a printing press, continuously producing explosive tags in batches.

"Three hundred taels a piece, no! War might break out soon! A single explosive tag is worth at least a thousand taels. One for one, two for two..." His brain raced, a mental storm raging within him.

Kakuzu, whose expression changed faster than flipping through a book, put on a fawning smile: "I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Nan... Little Nan!"

"…………" In other words, Nagato's current life or death is unknown, so Konan has no mood to pay attention to Kakuzu at all, otherwise she would have given him a few eye rolls.

"...Um...hehe..." Kakuzu rubbed his hands together, his smile becoming even more obsequious: "I wonder how many explosive tags you can make in a day? Don't get me wrong, I mean if you're too tired, you need to take more rest, after all, a million explosive tags is no small number."

"If I have enough chakra, I can make at least 20 explosive tags a day. If I have enough special ink, I can make them continuously, at least a million a day!"

"!!!" Kakuzu's eyes gleamed, and he looked at Konan as if she were a god of wealth!

If you had just said you had this ability earlier, I would definitely be your loyal henchman!

But thankfully, it's not too late to find out now!

"I'm going to buy materials!" With his pupils turning into the shape of silver coins, Kakuzu immediately turned around and prepared to go to the underground black market to purchase materials.

"Let's go to Konoha first!"

"Alright! You're in charge!" Like the most loyal lackey, Kakuzu immediately turned around again and headed towards Konoha first.

They sped along! Apart from Kakuzu temporarily replenishing the supply of a few rogue ninja hearts, they didn't waste much time.

Looking at the outline of Konoha in the distance, Konan and Kakuzu stopped in their tracks.

"To be on the safe side, let's send shadow clones to Konoha first. After all, we are enemies with Konoha, and my newly replaced heart is not of good quality and cannot exert its full strength. If Konoha wants to attack us, I am not confident that I can escape unscathed." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Kakuzu's eyes. In a way, Konoha was something he had watched "grow up".

"Okay!" Nodding, Xiao Nan immediately summoned her paper clone, and then manipulated the paper clone and Kakuzu's shadow clone to head towards Konoha.

"The Akatsuki?!" With such a blatant act, the Konoha gatekeepers weren't blind, so they naturally spotted them immediately.

"We would like to see the Fifth Hokage. Please inform him," Kakuzu stepped forward and said.

"Huh?!" Izumo Kamatsuki was a little confused, but then nodded. Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Coming over so brazenly doesn't look like they're up to anything bad.

After exchanging a glance with Izumo Kamizuki, Kotetsu immediately stood up: "Don't even think about trying any tricks!"

"Of course!" Kakuzu shrugged and said calmly, "We are no match for the Fifth Hokage. We have come here to discuss something very important with your village's Fifth Hokage."

"Wait here!" With that, Gangzitetsu got up and left, leaving only Izumo Kamizuki on guard against the two.

"What is this?!" A group of ninjas who were just about to leave the village frowned immediately upon seeing Konan and Kakuzu, and then quickly moved towards Izumo.

It's no wonder they reacted so strongly; not long ago, almost all the ninjas in Konoha were informed about the Akatsuki organization.

"They said they have information they want to report to the Hokage." Izumo Kamizuki breathed a slight sigh of relief. Facing two Akatsuki members alone, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

After all, the cause and effect of Jiraiya's serious injury had been widely circulated, and the higher-ups had no intention of hiding it at all. They even used Jiraiya as a case to tell these lower- and middle-ranking ninjas that if they encountered members of the Akatsuki, they should run away immediately!
