My Villainous Life Starting with Naruto

Chapter 24 Underground Organizations in the Naruto World

"Shinichi Kudo, please verify the key."

"Hmm." Hyuga Yuto's voice was indifferent. He made a few hand gestures, simple gestures, but due to the varied speed and order, there were thousands of different combinations.

There are many ways to enter the underground world: physical objects, passwords, fingerprints... but they all have one thing in common—they are not completely linked to a person.

In other words, killing someone allows you to take their place in the underworld. As long as the password to enter matches, no one will pursue you. Taking things by force is in accordance with the rules here.

The gold exchange is a chaotic yet orderly underground world.

When Hyuga Yuto read the manga in his previous life, he only caught a glimpse of the name "Exchange Shop," and his only memory of it was "Kakuzu carrying Sarutobi Asuma's corpse to the Exchange Shop to exchange for a large bounty."

But after experiencing the world of Naruto firsthand, Hyuga Yuto learned that the Gold Exchange was a colossal entity spanning the entire land, possessing not only numerous strongholds and branches, but also controlling the world's largest black and gray interest chain.

Assassination, mercenary warfare, illegal experiments, trafficking in contraband...

The mission boards of various ninja villages always have a layer of moral veil covering them, at least in public, they can't do anything too unethical.

The world needs a loosely connected network of interests like a gold exchange to accommodate the filth and distortions that exist beneath the sunlight.

The Gold Exchange is a hidden underground "Sixth Great Ninja Village!"

After verifying the identity token, the woman with the rat-faced mask bowed slightly.

"Shinichi Kudo, welcome to the Second Branch of the Land of Frost, Kinsho."

"I have a batch of things I want to get rid of."

"Okay, please follow me." The woman replied respectfully, gently touching the wall to activate a mechanism and open a narrow door.

She walked inside first, exposing her back to Hinata Yuto without any defenses. Her fair neck and waist swayed like a water snake.

"She's not a ninja..." Hyuga Yuto made this judgment and followed the woman into the secret passage.

Anyone who has received ninja training and successfully refined chakra will find it difficult to adopt a completely non-aggressive posture. Even if they have to turn their backs to others, their toes will be subtly offset at an angle, ready to explode at any moment. This is a sequela left by long-term training and cannot be changed.

Of course, the fact that the receptionist wasn't a ninja didn't mean the exchange shop was poorly defended. Even without activating his Byakugan, Hyuga Yuto could feel a tightness in his spine, indicating that there were genuine ninjas stationed there, and their numbers and quality were quite good.

"Shinichi Kudo, we will complete the exchange here."

The rat-faced woman led him to a more secluded secret room, then expertly took a few steps back.

With a whoosh, smoke billowed out as Hyuga Yuto activated the scroll in his hand, causing the gold and silver treasures sealed inside to pour out and spill onto the ground.

"Please wait a moment."

The rat-faced woman squatted down, took out various tools, and carefully checked the value of the pile of items.

"Shinichi Kudo, the treasure here is worth a total of 47 million taels. If you wish to exchange it for the common currency of the five great nations, the exchange will deduct a 45% handling fee. We guarantee with our reputation that this money is clean..."

"No need." Damn, this is so dark. Hyuga Yuto rolled his eyes inwardly and continued:

"I'll spend it all here... to buy some things."

"Alright, Shinichi Kudo." The rat-faced woman's voice carried a hint of cheerfulness.

It seems that no matter the world, salespeople and sales associates always love big spenders who have spent all their money.

"I'm telling you, remember this: twelve sets of nano-level filters and related equipment, six large medical breeding tanks measuring 1 meter by 2 meters, twenty tons of formalin, scalpels/mosquito forceps/toothed forceps—all of these must be produced in the Land of Iron..."

The cashiers at the exchange were all carefully selected and trained talents. Although they were not ninjas, they were all very intelligent. Hyuga Yuto talked about a lot of random things, including some rather difficult-to-pronounce medical instruments, but the rat-faced woman was able to remember them all and quickly associate them with the warehouse's inventory and the required amount of money.

"...The lid of the petri dish must be opaque... Hmm... Okay, that's all." Hinata Yuto told the rat-faced woman everything he needed, even specifying the model and manufacturer of some tools.

Having studied medical ninjutsu under Tsunade for over three months, Hyuga Yuto is fully aware of the intricacies of the medical field in this world.

The woman wrote these things down on a scroll and then handed it to a small slide.

"Shinichi Kudo, the Frost Country branch has all of these items in stock. Please wait patiently; they will all be delivered within half an hour."

"How much money do you have left?"

"Seven million taels."

"Replace everything with wood, specifically the kind from the red forests of the southern Land of Fire, cut into chunks."

"Are there any requirements regarding the size of the timber, sir?"

"Standard one cubic meter."

"Yes, sir, the timber will be delivered here along with the medical equipment."

As a receptionist at the gold exchange, the rat-faced woman was well-informed and realized from the start that the customer in front of her probably wanted to build his own secret laboratory.

A 1m x 2m large medical breeding tank... clearly designed to imprison humans. As for the twenty tons of formaldehyde...

The rat-faced woman could hardly imagine how many people the guest in front of her was going to kill.

Shinichi Kudo... he really is a man who brings death.

The rat-faced woman sighed inwardly, not daring to ask or speak carelessly.

The fact that all the receptionists at the gold exchange were non-ninjas implies that "you can kill them if you want, since they are just peripheral personnel who are not core members, as long as you pay compensation afterwards."

In this filthy underground world, it's hard to find a "naive" belief in protecting one's companions.

"Oh...right..." Hinata Yuto, bored while waiting, suddenly spoke up:

"Bring me the bounty list, let me take a look."

"Yes, Shinichi Kudo."

This is easy to handle. There's a copy in the rat-faced woman's sleeve. Hyuga Yuto took it and looked through it, pondering how many more days he could stay out there while searching for suitable prey.

He still needs money.

Hyuga Yuto's eyes swept over the names one by one, and finally returned the assassination roster to the rat-faced woman.

The sealed room fell silent again until a huge scroll emerged from the slide.

"Sir, everything you purchased is here. You can inspect the goods here. According to the rules of the exchange, once you leave this room, we will deny the transaction."

Hyuga Yuto nodded indifferently, checked several key medical instruments, and after confirming that there were no problems, he carried the scroll and walked out of the exchange.
