Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 87 I Have Several Projects Worth Hundreds of Millions

After Natsume finished styling his hair, the notification sound from the Fate Ring finally arrived.

[Because of your actions, Mei Terumi's fate has changed; you have gained 100 Fate Points.]

Not bad, this was a good deal.

Natsume yawned and left the room.

To prevent any accidents, he set up a simple barrier.

Once triggered, he can know in time and carry out rescue.

the next day.

Natsume opened his eyes.

He's still not used to sleeping alone.

The main problem is that it's not warm enough; it's not that you can eat, drink, and have fun anytime.

Natsume changed his clothes and went to Mei Terumi's room.

She still hasn't woken up.

He suddenly remembered something and took out a black pill.

It wasn't a computer accessory, but rather military rations.

Special pills used to restore chakra.

Natsume sat on the edge of the bed, slightly parted Terumi Mei's thin lips with his fingers, and then fed her the soldier's ration pill.

Made by Tsunade, it melts in your mouth.

She had clearly considered the possibility of the patient falling into a coma.

Otherwise, Natsume would probably have to drink some water and swallow the pill whole.

He laid her down again, wiped his slightly damp fingers, and waited.

Not long after, Mei Terumi woke up.

The feeling of weakness in my body is still there.

She paused for two seconds, then, recalling what happened yesterday, she immediately stood up, her eyes filled with vigilance as she looked at Natsume.

As the future Mizukage, he demonstrated the qualities he should have at this moment.

She did not feel overly grateful for being saved, nor was she disturbed by the inexplicable emotions she experienced before losing consciousness.

On the contrary, Natsume's concealment is too horrifying.

This powerful ninja has become a businessman and is even thinking about opening up five sea routes.

If he were a ninja from another village, Mei Terumi helping him would undoubtedly make her a sinner against Kirigakure.

Natsume smiled, pulled out a stool, and sat down in front of her.

Women who aren't obsessed with romance have a unique charm.

No wonder so many people liked aloof female CEOs in my past life.

"Who are you?"

Mei Terumi sized him up. "What is your real purpose?"

"I used to be a ninja from Kirigakure, but I fled because of the Mizukage's persecution and joined an organization called Destiny."

Natsume casually made up a story, saying, "Our organization's goal is simple: we hope everyone can become wealthy."

"...?"

Mei Terumi tilted her head, a puzzled look in her eyes.

It's almost like asking, "Is your organization a philanthropist organization?"

As for Natsume being a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, that's somewhat believable.

Firstly, his water-style escape techniques are indeed very powerful.

Secondly, too many powerful ninjas have fled from the Blood Mist Village.

Of course, she didn't believe it, mainly because the second half of the sentence was too outrageous.

"Since the beginning of recorded history, there have been three large-scale wars in the ninja world, and countless smaller ones. What do you think are the causes of these wars? Why has peace been so long in coming?"

Natsume looked at her and asked seriously.

Mei Terumi sensed the change in his emotions and subconsciously straightened her expression.

This is a difficult question to answer.

Many ninjas have thought about and tried to bring peace to the ninja world, but without exception, they all failed.

"War is about resources."

Mei Terumi pondered for a moment and said, "Why is Konoha the most powerful ninja village? It's because they control the best resources."

"That's true, but not entirely."

Natsume then asked, "In your opinion, is Kirigakure the village with the worst resources among the Five Great Villages?"

Mei Terumi nodded.

Before this, the greatest resource of Kirigakure was the variety of fish.

It can only satisfy one's appetite.

Now Natsume is making use of sea transport.

Strangely enough, why did Kirigakure never think of building warships or establishing a naval ninja army before?

Is it because they don't have money? Or is it because the Mizukage are indulging in bloody infighting?

"But in my eyes, Kirigakure has resources that are no less than those of Konoha."

Natsume sighed softly, "It's because you guys don't know how to use it."

Marine resources are no less than terrestrial resources.

Only knowing how to fish is truly short-sighted.

Of course, we can't blame them.

"That's impossible."

Mei Terumi instinctively didn't believe it.

Want to know?

Natsume asked with a smile.

Mei Terumi hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.

"The answer to this question involves several projects worth hundreds of millions."

Natsume took out a contract and said, "Our Destiny organization values ​​fair trade the most."

Mei Terumi paused slightly, glanced at the contents of the contract, and then frowned.

The content above is actually very simple.

After she signed, it meant she became a temporary member of the Destiny Organization and owed Natsume 200 million ryo.

Do you think I'll sign?

Mei Terumi's expression grew increasingly cold.

This is a contract of servitude.

Of course she wouldn't sign it.

Two hundred million taels of silver—how many tasks would she have to complete to repay that?

Natsume simply moved his lips.

That's just too unfair.

Although she really wanted to know what resources Kirigakure had that could compare to Konoha.

That's a real shame.

Natsume withdrew the contract and said, "Since wars are caused by the unfair distribution of resources, wouldn't there be no more wars if everyone could become wealthy? That's the purpose of our Destiny organization, and that's why I'm helping you."

That's strange.

But it seems to make sense.

Mei Terumi couldn't understand it for a moment.

"I can't believe you."

"normal."

Natsume adjusted his posture, leaned back to find a comfortable position, and said, "But you should also know that if I wanted to do something to you, you would already be a corpse."

Mei Terumi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Thank you."

This is a personal expression of gratitude, not an expression of gratitude to Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

Natsume understood, and asked, "Do you still want to continue the cooperation regarding the opening of the sea route?"

"..."

Mei Terumi hesitated, unsure how to respond.

Following her instinctive unease, she should end the collaboration.

But the current situation in Kirigakure left her no choice but to comply.

We're so poor.

"It was indeed my fault for concealing the information from you first. As compensation, I'll give you some information for free."

Seeing her hesitation, Natsume revealed his true intentions, saying, "Your Mizukage has already betrayed Kirigakure."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Mei Terumi's steady breathing became rapid.

Although she was ordered to be executed by Yagura Karatachi, she never imagined that he would betray her.

The Mizukage is already the most powerful person in Kirigakure, so why would he betray him?

That's utterly absurd!

"Let Qing use his Byakugan to observe the water reflection, and you'll know whether what I'm saying is true or false."

Natsume waved his hand and said.

Mei Terumi's already pale face turned even paler.

Roll your eyes.

In other words, Yagura was being controlled by someone.

But he is the perfect Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, how could he possibly be controlled?

Speaking of which, Natsume had also thought about this question.

It was either Madara Uchiha's help, or it was probably controlled separately.

For example, he first controlled the Three-Tails, and then, after Yagura sealed it inside his body, he controlled it again.

Of course, only the original author knows the specifics.

There won't be any multiple aliases or alter egos. The protagonist will only occasionally use the identity of the leader of a mysterious organization to do things. Mei Terumi will soon see the protagonist's true face, and then they'll officially start dating. PS: This book is confirmed to be released next Friday, February 17th. I'll add one more chapter today during the new book period, and the rest will be added on the release day. There will be at least ten chapters, possibly up to twenty. Just wait and see. I'll also write some side stories.
