Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 80 How many floors does a bag of rice have to be carried up?

The Land of Waves is surrounded by the sea, but it is not far from the Land of Fire, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Water, so maritime transport is very developed.

It is a country that relies on the sea for its livelihood.

The peaceful life was disrupted by Kado.

He ran a shipping company and, through wealth and violence, controlled all the lifelines of maritime transportation, effectively giving him control over the Land of Waves.

Bridge-building master Dazner is preparing to build bridges outwards to break his monopoly.

Gato therefore hired Zabuza Momochi and Haku to assassinate him in order to secure his rule.

Natsume was unaware of the current situation in the Land of Waves, so he sent employees of the Gunma Company to investigate in advance.

Kado has indeed appeared, and although his presence has been brief, he has already aroused public anger.

His approach, how should I put it, was too brutal, squeezing and squeezing.

In fact, the Land of Waves was already quite poor.

Natsume plans to make money in a more ethical way.

After disembarking, he headed straight for the metropolis of the Bohemia.

The employees of Gunma Corporation were already waiting for him.

There are twenty people in total.

The leader was named Mitsuhashi Shin, and he was a ninja.

Although his strength is average, and he's only a genin, it's enough for him.

"Lord Natsume, we have located Kado's position."

"Where are the guards? Are they the ninja I mentioned wielding the giant guillotine?"

Natsume was asking about Zabuza Momochi.

Because the timeline is earlier than expected, he is most likely not in the Land of Waves.

But I'll still confirm it.

"no."

Mitsuhashi Shin shook his head and said, "His guards are mostly samurai, with relatively few ninjas. It's probably because there are no ninjas in the Land of Waves, which makes him quite confident."

In the original work, if Gato hadn't hired Zabuza Momochi and Haku, the fledgling Team 7 could probably have defeated him without lifting a finger.

The root cause is that the ninjas in this world have more principles.

They only do missions and don't care about anything outside of missions. There are no ninjas going off to attack nobles and wealthy merchants.

Even the Akatsuki organization is like this.

Raising money involves diligently completing tasks and fulfilling black market bounties.

If it were Natsume, he might have already plundered the daimyo and nobles of various countries.

"Let's go."

Natsume smiled and said, "No need to waste time."

"Yes."

Mitsuhashi Shin turned around and led him to a large mansion.

"Wait for me here."

Natsume put on a cat mask.

"Who is it?"

As soon as he approached, he attracted the attention of the gatekeepers.

The samurai swords were drawn one after another.

With the rise of ninjas, the samurai class has completely declined.

Only the Land of Iron still has many powerful samurai.

However, this power is based on swordsmanship and chakra, and it is no longer that of a pure samurai.

Natsume casually pierced their throats with two shuriken.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he committed numerous evils by following Kado.

He naturally didn't need to be polite.

Natsume opened the door, revealing even more guards inside.

There were also several ninjas.

Several streams of water rushed towards us.

Two warriors charged out from the left and right, their long swords slashing down at him.

Natsume threw out two shuriken, then vanished using Body Flicker Technique and reappeared in the crowd.

Water Release: Water Barrage!

Chakra gathered in his hands, transforming into countless water bullets that scattered to both sides.

Blood splattered.

The guards fell one after another.

Before long, Natsume was standing alone.

He turned around and saw Kado coming from inside the house after hearing the commotion.

Besides him, there were two other ninjas wearing headbands from Kirigakure.

"Take him down!"

Upon seeing the numerous corpses, Kado screamed in panic.

Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!

The ninja on the left pointed one finger to the sky, and the thick fog dispersed from him.

Water Escape·Water Fang Blade

The ninja on the right has his hands forming hand seals, his right hand covered in chakra, which transforms into a sharp water blade.

His body shot straight toward Natsume like a streak of light, clearly intending to take advantage of the fog to finish him off.

The ninjas of Kirigakure are most skilled at silent killing techniques.

Simply put, create a foggy environment to silently hunt down enemies.

Ordinary ninjas would be unaccustomed to this situation, leading to their death.

The ninjas of Kirigakure were accustomed to this environment, which gave them an added advantage.

Natsume casually drew the Thunder God Sword and thrust it backward.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the water blade and then severed his head.

The ninja, using the mist as cover, circled around to his back, expecting to strike him with a single blow.

His face was filled with disbelief until he saw Natsume's three-tomoe Sharingan spinning.

Damn it!

What have I done to deserve this?

It turns out they're from the Uchiha clan.

The ninja collapsed in relief.

Natsume's body suddenly vanished from its original spot, and the next second he appeared behind another ninja, stabbing him through with a sword.

As he died, the fog gradually dissipated.

"Wha...what happened..."

Kado's eyes widened, his teeth chattering with fear.

Natsume quickly dodged the splattered blood; he would be furious if he got the sword tassel Tsunade had given him dirty.

He sheathed Thor's sword and turned his gaze to Kado.

A short, middle-aged man.

The Mediterranean Sea reflects the sunlight.

"Spare me...spare me! I'll give you whatever money you want!"

Faced with mortal danger, Cardo's speech became fluent.

Natsume didn't kill him directly because he still needed to explain his supply chain.

His method was simple: he used his Sharingan to hypnotize and control the user.

"Shin Mitsuhashi, do you know the Transformation Technique?"

"meeting."

Mitsuhashi Shin nodded as he entered.

"From today onwards, you will temporarily become Kado."

Natsume instructed, "I have hypnotized Kado. He will tell you the specific details of his company. Once you have all the information, kill him."

"yes!"

Mitsuhashi Shin answered excitedly.

"Clean up the battlefield, and try not to let the outside world know about what happened here."

Natsume waved his hand.

Mitsuhashi Nobu and others immediately began cleaning the house.

[Because of your actions, Zabuza Momochi's fate has changed. You have gained 79 Fate Points.]

Because of your actions, Bai's fate has changed; you have gained 60 Fate Points.

Because of your actions, Kado's fate has changed; you have gained 27 Fate Points.

A rather easy harvest.

Natsume was quite satisfied.

He then had Cardo dispose of his property.

I must say, this thing could be used to hang streetlights.

Even excluding all real estate, their cash flow is over a billion taels, which is truly terrifying.

But thinking about it, it's not entirely unreasonable. Gato not only controls the Land of Waves, but also many smaller island nations.

In addition, shipping is also very profitable.

Moreover, the two billion yuan is the cash he can currently allocate.

If all the houses, antiques, jewelry, etc. were sold, it would be possible to multiply the value several times or even dozens of times.

Natsume has a question: how many meters and how many floors would Nagato have to carry to earn that much money?

hall.

Shin Mitsuhashi and the others stood around.

Natsume, on the other hand, was writing a development plan for the Land of Waves.

This thing is both difficult and easy.

Anyone who has gone to school can write a few suggestions.

However, the details are more difficult to grasp.

Half an hour later, Natsume put down his pen, casually handed the scroll to Mitsuhashi Shin, and said, "Just do as I say."

Mitsuhashi Shin subconsciously opened it, and it was divided into four chapters.

First, defeat the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, publicly execute Gato, gain favor among the common people, and develop the fishing industry.

Second, sponsor Dazna's bridge construction, but demand control of the bridge.

Third, deepen trade relations with the nearby Land of Fire, Land of Water, and Land of Hot Water.

Fourth, establish a shipping company to be responsible for the waterways and bridges, and charge additional transportation and toll fees.

Mitsuhashi Shin only partially understood what he saw, but was greatly shocked.

Because of your actions, Tazuna's fate has changed; you have gained four Fate Points.

You might as well not give it to me at all.

I earn money standing up, and Natsume-sama is tall and strong.

You understand?
