My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Chapter 81 Technology as Equity

"Hey! Put it down!" Uchiha Touhuan sighed, seeing his teammate's pathetic state. To be honest, what Kakashi lacked most right now was not strength or methods, but vision and perspective.

So far, Kakashi's identity is still limited to that of a ninja. Even though he has begun to transform into a politician, due to the education he received from childhood, he has only set his sights on being a politician among ninjas. Daimyo and wealthy merchants still have a noble status filter in his eyes.

The reason why Uchiha Touhuan put aside his own affairs and made this special trip with him was to help him completely shatter this filter.

As for Cado's vast wealth, that was just a side effect.

Kakashi turned around and looked at Uchiha Touhuan with some confusion. Everyone had said to let them take whatever they wanted, so what was Uchiha Touhuan still hesitating about?

"It wouldn't be very polite to just take it like that," said Uchiha Touhuan.

Uchiha Touhuan's words made Gato extremely nervous. He could tell that Uchiha Touhuan was the leader between the two, but now Uchiha Touhuan was showing no interest in money. So, if the two of them were not after money, then they must be seeking revenge.

"My lords, I do not recall ever offending you. If I have done anything wrong, or if my men have been disrespectful and offended you, please speak frankly, and I will give you a satisfactory answer." Kado swallowed hard and said tremblingly.

"Look at you, you've scared our Mr. Gato." Uchiha Touhuan said slowly with a smile that sent chills down Gato's spine. "Go turn on the lights and let Mr. Gato take a good look at us."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi put down the gold in his hand, found the light switch in the bedroom, and turned it on. The sudden change in light made Kakashi squint. Then, Kakashi realized that the other party wanted to kill him. If he had seen the other party's face clearly, would he still be alive?

Thinking of this, Kado suddenly closed his eyes tightly and covered them with his hands.

"Hero, no, no, no! I know the rules! I can't live without seeing your face!" Kado said in a panic.

"Open your eyes and look at us." Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile, while using a kunai to tidy up Gato's messy hair.

Kado felt the coldness on his scalp and dared not move, hurriedly saying, "No, no, no."

"Just one look, don't worry, Mr. Kado, we have no ill intentions in coming here."

"Understood, understood. Please tell me what you two gentlemen want," Kado said.

"We are here on behalf of the Uchiha and Hatake clans of Konohagakure in the Land of Fire to invite Mr. Gato to invest. Konohagakure has been developing rapidly recently, and if Mr. Gato is willing to invest in some industries, the return on investment will be quite amazing."

"Hatake...and Uchiha?" Gato slowly opened his eyes, looking at the three crimson Sharingan before him. He swallowed hard. To build a business to its current scale, Gato might not know much about the underworld and the legitimate world of ninjas, but he knew the basics. The Uchiha clan was the largest ninja clan in Konohagakure, the village of the Land of Fire, needless to say. Although the Hatake clan wasn't particularly famous, he knew that Sakumo had been granted the title of Hokage by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Is it just investing in Konoha Village?" Gato relaxed a little. "That's easy to arrange."

Now that the two had introduced themselves, Gato relaxed considerably and asked, "May I ask what kind of businesses you two would like me to invest in Konoha?"

"What industries should we invest in?" Uchiha Touhuan asked with a smile. "Of course, we'll invest in whatever industries are profitable. When it comes to making money, our two clans trust Mr. Gato's vision. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come here and cooperate with you, Mr. Gato."

"So, the Uchiha and Hatake clans are planning to do business with me in Konoha?" Gato confirmed.

"Of course." Uchiha Touhuan nodded with a smile. "The Uchiha and Hatake are planning to invest in Mr. Gato's business. I wonder what Mr. Gato thinks?"

"Of course, of course. So, how much is the nobleman willing to contribute?" Kado asked.

"Our two clans intend to contribute technology as equity," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile, while playing with the kunai in his hand.

"Technology? What technology?" Kado asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, it's the technique of a ninja." Uchiha Touhuan pinned a kunai between Gato's legs, and his words sent chills down Gato's spine.

Gato understood Uchiha Touhuan's meaning almost instantly: what else could a ninja's technique be? Killing!

"We'll split the profits 30/70," Uchiha Touhuan said.

"You want 30%?"

"Hey, Mr. Gato, you've misunderstood." Uchiha Touhuan pulled out another kunai and gently trimmed the stubble on Gato's chin. "Thirty percent is yours."

"Of the remaining 70%, the Uchiha will take 40% and the Hatake will take 30%."

The cold touch on his neck made Kado afraid to move, but he still spoke up, "Isn't this against the rules?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Rules?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "Come on, let our future partner experience our technology firsthand, starting with the most basic Naraku-no-Jutsu."

"Me?" Kakashi was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Uchiha Touhuan in disbelief. "Bushigomon, you are a member of the Uchiha clan, the strongest genjutsu clan in the entire ninja world, and now you want me to demonstrate genjutsu?"

"Don't just stand there. If I go myself, this guy will probably become an idiot." Uchiha Touhuan was annoyed by Kakashi's gaze. Who was it that said the Uchiha clan had to be proficient in genjutsu?

Kakashi nodded helplessly, and before Gato could react, he used the Naraku Sight Technique on him.

In just a few breaths, Kado's expression turned terrified, and he was covered in sweat.

Kakashi, seeing that the time was right, dispelled the genjutsu. Gato, back in reality, gasped for breath. At that moment, Uchiha Touhuan considerately helped him catch his breath, then asked with a smile, "So, Mr. Gato, is the technology of our two clans worth the price?"

"Worth it! Of course it's worth it!" Kado hurriedly replied, afraid that if he answered any slower, Kakashi would shoot him again.

"So, it's a pleasure to work together?" Uchiha Touhuan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you," Kado said without delay.

"Then, lead the way, Mr. Gato. It's time for our share of this year's profits." Uchiha Touhuan laughed. "From now on, Mr. Gato's safety will be protected by our Uchiha and Hatake clans. This is a privilege that even the daimyo of the Land of Fire don't receive. Mr. Gato, you won't be shortchanged."
