Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

This is also why Hiruko spared the Fourth Raikage's life during the Fourth Shinobi World War—he wanted to use the Fourth Raikage's fighting power to force him to make reforms.

In the end, he even forced the Fourth Raikage to become the de facto ruler of the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning, allowing Rasa and A to seize power in secret and become the legitimate rulers of the country.

During this period, Konoha could have adopted a strategy of betting on both ends.

Taking advantage of the declining public support and negative public opinion surrounding the daimyo of the Land of Wind, they subtly intervened in the political affairs of the Land of Wind.

Gradually divide and weaken the power of the Wind Kingdom, and even further seize control of its core power.

If Rasa's plan proceeds smoothly and is successfully implemented, it will inevitably severely damage the trust between ninjas from various countries and daimyo.

At that time, the ambitious leaders of those small ninja villages will also be unable to contain their restlessness.

Once the situation develops to this point, the daimyo of the Land of Fire will act for their own safety.

It was only natural for him to fawn over Minato Namikaze, and it wouldn't cause much of a stir in the ninja world.

At that time, Hiruko will be able to achieve his ultimate goal step by step.

He eventually succeeded Minato Namikaze as Hokage, and went on to make his mark in the ninja world.

If the ninjas of two of the five great nations become true heads of state, the other great nations will inevitably have no choice but to follow suit.

In this way, the unreasonable situation of ordinary people serving as the nominal head of state will be swept into the dustbin of history.

However, judging from the current situation, all of this is nothing more than a game of chess set up casually by Hiruko.

He increasingly felt that he was somewhat similar to that guy known as the "hair gel man".

To achieve his goals, he would casually drop a few chess pieces and let them play freely on the board, rarely making any moves himself.

Success would be best, but failure is no big deal.

After all, he was the one causing trouble for the Kazekage and the Land of Wind, and it had nothing to do with Konoha.

What he was truly concerned about was the art of immortality and the secrets of the dragon veins.

There are actually quite a few things recorded in those fake ancient Loulan ruins.

In addition to various myths and historical stories, the true history of Loulan, and the mysteries of the dragon vein, there are also various legends of demons and monsters from the ancient ninja world.

It even records Kaguya's great achievements, a large number of Yin-Yang Release techniques, Six Paths Sage Mode, and the story of the Otsutsuki clan manipulating the Divine Tree to condense chakra fruits.

These ciphers greatly enriched Beiliuhu's knowledge, and after his examination, many of the contents turned out to be true and reliable.

I have to say, Black Zetsu really underestimated himself.

Hiruko sat coldly at the table. His already cold chakra made him look as if he came from the deepest abyss.

Everyone who passed by him subconsciously treated him with utmost respect.

However, ninjas do have certain advantages in terms of low human rights, so Hiruko can use this generation of ninjas to vigorously develop capital.

The Ninja World Stock Market.

The stock institution personally established by Hiruko was just a very simple stock market.

Currently, there are only two stocks: one is steel, and the other is millet.

Hiruko attached great importance to this intelligence network and recruited a large number of informants from various regions of several major countries.

Now they are working together with Birukho, and price information from various places is constantly being gathered.

Even if there are occasional areas where information gathering is inefficient, sending a servant to handle it is just a D-level task that can be completed easily.

In any case, there are now mountains of these harmless small missions, and accurate intelligence from major countries and even the entire ninja world is being sorted and analyzed in the intelligence room.

With the current efficiency, intelligence is updated every hour, which is quite an astonishing frequency in this era.

Even without Sage Mode, if you can master this intelligence map, you can make a fortune by buying low and selling high in the market, which is like having a cheat code for seeing through walls.

"Didn't we agree on forty times? How come it's only 38 times over on your end?" Darui said angrily, rolling up his sleeves and glaring at Yura.

Despite the immense pressure from Darui, Yura remained fearless.

He took off his heavy coat, tied it in a simple knot, and retorted with wide eyes: "Can you blame me entirely for manipulating the market with ninjutsu?"

"You think I don't want to raise the price? But the Wind Kingdom is already short of funds, what can we do? We're even more anxious than you are!"

"Then let's think of a solution quickly! We all agreed to raise prices together and maintain the same price."

"If something goes wrong on your end and someone gets hold of something against you, don't blame us for being harsh," Darui said sternly.

Knowing he was in the wrong and unable to refute it, Yoshiro could only summon a ninja and tell him to hurry back and continue to put pressure on the surrounding small countries.

Similar situations have occurred frequently in the past two months, and as these events continue to unfold, the price of commodities like millet has skyrocketed.

The main issue is the rising price of millet. Nowadays, the price of millet has risen so ridiculously that it's almost hard to tell what's important.

Tacit understanding and contradictions driven by interests

At first, the various factions were somewhat unfamiliar with cooperating in manipulating millet prices, but as millet prices continued to rise, they cooperated more and more seamlessly, and conflicts and disputes decreased.

Even if they occasionally exchange a few insults, they quickly forget about it, showing no signs of deep-seated hatred between them. After all, money is the best "lubricant."

Hiruko led everyone to plunge headlong into the millet industry.

The situation is similar in various places. Most of these forces previously faced financial difficulties, and according to conventional methods, they would have been unable to solve their problems for a lifetime.

Now that Beiruhu has opened a door to a new world for them, these guys are almost going crazy with excitement.

For those who bought in early, every slight increase in millet prices is the best stimulus for them; the excitement is even stronger than an orgasm.

It must be said that the stock market opened by Birukho was extremely tempting for these people.

Although the stock market opened by Hiruko currently only has two stocks, steel and millet, these forces have built up their positions early on by virtue of their relationship with Hiruko.

This drove up the price of millet dramatically, and everyone made a fortune as a result.

Every increase in millet prices means a huge influx of money.

For a moment, representatives from all sides couldn't help but recall what they had fought so hard for decades ago.

The stock exchange opened by Biluhu actually managed to attract all the wealth they had accumulated over decades of fighting and killing.

During these more than ten years of war, not only did countless people lose their fortunes, but they also accumulated huge debts.

If they had more opportunities like this, they would have been living the life of millionaires long ago. Not only are the ninjas enjoying it, but the merchants are too.

At first, Hiruko didn't really intend to bring so many people, but who doesn't have a relative?

That little fellow, Juan, begged Beiruhu for help.

The little one is willing to risk her life, so I can't even give her some money.

Because Konoha's measures were so meticulous, Rasa could only rage helplessly alone in his office.

Little did he know that Hiruko was the real culprit behind all of this.

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind entrusted the Konoha ninja with this task for two main reasons.

Firstly, in order to protect the hard-won oasis and prevent the land from becoming desert again, it is stipulated that people from the Land of Wind are not allowed to use large-scale destructive ninjutsu in non-desert terrain areas of their homeland, so as to avoid polluting the environment.

Secondly, in order to protect the green vegetation in the desert, it is stipulated that during the construction process, it is forbidden to indiscriminately cut down local trees or carry out destructive development on non-desert terrain.

Large-scale ninja attacks would severely damage the ecological environment.

Putting everything else aside, the first two prohibitions alone directly target the strongest weapon of the Land of Wind—the One-Tailed Shukaku.

It's important to know that large-scale AOE ninjutsu like Sandstorm Funeral, and wind-style ninjutsu that can easily cut through a forest, will be subject to strict restrictions in the future.

Moreover, the already shrinking and declining puppet army was further exacerbated.

In the future, even the wood needed to make puppets may have to be sourced from abroad.

As for the Gundam unit developed by Hiruko, its technology would never be easily leaked to Sunagakure.

The core of the Gundam unit is chip technology, although Rasa's side had managed to obtain a few chips.

But it's completely baffling why these chips can perform such high-intensity calculations, allowing ordinary people to control Gundams; it's truly perplexing.

Although the Sand Village ninjas can still use their signature abilities in desert terrain, their advantages disappear once they enter oasis terrain.

To make matters worse, these are all places where Konoha ninjas happen to be active.

Moreover, as time goes on, green vegetation will inevitably spread rapidly and engulf the yellow desert.

In other words, the living space of Sunagakure will be gradually squeezed by Konoha ninja.

When Luo Sha learned of these bans, he was so angry that he smashed several desks.

He then roared furiously, "This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! Minato Namikaze, you've gone too far!"

His eyes were bloodshot, his veins were bulging, and his chakra was surging outwards uncontrollably.

As the chakra went berserk, the yellow sand mixed with the golden chakra and was repelled in all directions.

Meanwhile, in the Land of the Sky, Shennong finally completed the repair work on Zero-Tail.

He looked at the monster in front of him, with its large head bearing the words "Zero Tail" and its entire body enveloped in dark chakra, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, it finally worked."

Although it wasted a lot of my time, and the current Zero-Tails is still very weak and needs to absorb countless amounts of chakra, it's only a matter of time before it recovers to its peak state once it is revived.

Strictly speaking, Zero Tail is actually a special kind of artificial creation.

Compared to the true tailed beasts, it is much inferior, but precisely because it is relatively weak, it is much easier to control.

Controlling a tailed beast usually requires a Jinchuriki, as well as a long period of time to get used to it, and the ninja who can become a Jinchuriki must be exceptionally talented.

For each of the major ninja villages, creating a Jinchuriki is tantamount to sacrificing a future genius.

Perfect Jinchūriki are ultimately rare.

Zero-Tails can absorb dark chakra, which not only allows it to recover quickly after a hard battle, but also serves as an energy core to continuously supply energy to large fortresses.

Years ago, the workers of the Land of the Sky, realizing they could not fight the major ninja villages head-on, took a different approach and developed the "Zero Tail".

They successfully built a floating fortress by taking advantage of its characteristics.

This floating fortress is no ordinary structure; through continuous research, the workers have created a device capable of carrying people in flight at a low cost.
