Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 101 Kakuzu's New Job
"I like money and feel that money will never betray me... No matter how you look at it, this is a mental illness, right?"

In the psychiatric department, Kakuzu, whose appearance had been adjusted by Hinata Hane, had a blank expression on his face as he stared quietly at the doctor in front of him.

"It's no use looking at me like that."

The doctor sighed and began writing a diagnosis. "You have typical psychological trauma. Have you ever been betrayed before? Well, you are a ninja after all, so this situation is not uncommon."

"But using money as an excuse to escape is a bit inappropriate. After all, money is issued by each country itself, and the currencies of each country are not interchangeable. Although they can be exchanged, once some small countries are destroyed, those currencies will naturally have no value. If you don't exchange them in advance, they will be a piece of waste paper, which betrays you in another sense."

"..."

Kakuzu looked at him indifferently, like a stubborn patient.

The doctor didn't care and just advised from the best perspective he could think of.

He had just started this new job and didn't have much experience.

The higher-ups were not in a hurry for results, they just wanted him to accumulate more experience and guide some students in the future.

Ninjas are very determined, so you need to take things slow.

After a while, Kakuzu left the psychiatric department and went to his new workplace.

He is not just a bounty hunter. In his decades of life, he also occasionally takes on some jobs. Working for Hinata Yu is no different from those people.

This is not surrender, it's just a simple transaction.

Moreover, he cannot take any work in the underground black market for the time being. Those resurrected strong men seem to be cleaning up the underground black market. He really needs a new and stable job.

Checking and collecting debts...very suitable.

Arriving at the Chamber of Commerce under Hinata Yu, Kakuzu handed the contract signed between himself and Hinata Yu to the person in charge for review, and then went to the underground vault.

“This is the Chamber of Commerce’s recent revenue.”

Looking at the warehouse full of money, Kakuzu's green eyes lit up, and then after the person in charge handed him the corresponding bill, he counted the money slowly and rhythmically.

He counted three times, as if looking for a loophole in the bill.

For this new job, he received a basic salary of one million per month.

But this is not the big deal. If he finds the corrupt officials in the Chamber of Commerce or has a good talk with some customers who are unwilling to pay and makes them pay, he can get a share of the profits.

However, because the Chamber of Commerce was established by the union of many merchants from the Fire Nation with the support of Hyuga Yu, perhaps only the top leaders of the other four major countries or the Fire Nation would dare to default on their debts, so the latter situation has not yet occurred, and his job is only to catch the corrupt insiders.

And... counting money!
Counting money, even billions, is a beautiful thing.

"Ok?"

As he was counting, he found a strange number and narrowed his eyes.

The numbers should match, but something seems to be wrong.

Who is responsible for this payment?
The final destination is...the Land of Ghosts?

……

In the kingdom of ghosts, in a magnificent palace.

The woman in the gorgeous miko costume knelt on the side of the wooden table, looking at the ninja who used the transformation technique across from her, and said in an ethereal voice: "Sir Yushu, the merchants of the Ghost Country have already started to connect with the Chamber of Commerce over there. Next, I will arrange for them to establish diplomatic relations with the Snow Country."

"Mister Miroku, thank you for your help."

Hinata Yuuki used the transformation technique to transform into a middle-aged man to hide his white eyes. His face was serious and he said, "Someone will be here to take charge later."

"Nothing, this is the basis of cooperation." The Demon Country Shrine Maiden Miroku smiled slightly, "In the future, I hope to borrow your power." Hearing Miroku's sincere words, Hinata Yuki's eyes became complicated, "It is rumored that the Demon Country Shrine Maiden has the ability to predict... It seems to be true."

This short trip from the Land of Fire to the Land of Snow really broadened my horizons, and I even saw the ability to predict the future.

But prophecy means fate, and it always makes him think of bad things.

"The reason why Lord Miroku facilitated our entry into the Land of Ghosts and provided assistance for our journey to the Land of Snow was because he predicted that we could bring some changes to the Land of Ghosts, right?"

Miroku shook her head and sighed, "Your Excellency Yushu may have misunderstood. My ability to predict is not that strong. I can only see the future of others' death, and it is a future that cannot be changed."

“Therefore, the information I obtain is always accompanied by death. It is not a power to be proud of.”

Having said that, Miroku paused and turned his gaze to the corner.

There, Hinata Miyuki was teasing her several-month-old child, Ziwan.

Ziwan is still very young, but quite smart. She stared at Hinata Miyuki with her lively big eyes and was amused by her and started laughing.

Looking at them gently, Miroku looked at Yushu solemnly and said, "When you entered the Land of Demons, the future in my eyes changed once."

"In my prophecy, the people who were supposed to die in the chaos caused by monsters have had their fates changed."

"And the moment I saw Miss Miyuki, I knew that this future should belong to her. You...changed the future."

Hinata Yuki narrowed his eyes, and Hinata Miyuki in the corner also stopped what he was doing, causing Xiao Ziwan to reveal an unhappy expression.

"Eh, me?" Hinata Miyuki blinked and pointed at herself, "Do I still have the potential to be a miko?"

She had heard that the priestesses of the Demon Kingdom possessed strange powers that could seal monsters.

Since the turmoil was caused by monsters, it was naturally sealed by the witch.

She doesn't know how to seal, so if she didn't become a shrine maiden, is there any other possibility?

"Hmm... maybe it's possible."

Miroku's palm sprinkled a little spiritual light, which landed on Hinata Miyuki, and he chuckled and said: "That monster is made up of human evil thoughts and lives because of people's negative emotions. In order to seal it, you need someone without any evil thoughts to do it."

"Ms. Miyuki's mind is very pure right now. If she is willing to switch from the ninja training method to the miko side, she may indeed succeed."

No evil thoughts...is he still a human being?

Thinking of this, Hinata Miyuki hurriedly shook her head, "No, I'll just keep it like this."

"Really? I thought I could find a good teacher for Ziwan."

Miroku's regretful words made Hinata Miyuki and Hinata Yuuki frown. Before they could notice anything was wrong, she continued, "You two should be here for more than just confirming the Chamber of Commerce's affairs, right?"

Hinata Yuuki temporarily withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about the meaning of Miroku's words. He said vaguely: "There is indeed one more thing I want to trouble you with. We hope to use the power of your country to find someone."

Miroku: "Although nominally, the witch is the supreme ruler of the Demon Kingdom, I generally do not interfere in affairs."

"Really?" Hinata Yuuki thought for a moment, "Then could you recommend someone from your country who handles military and political affairs?"

The Demon Kingdom is different from other countries in that it is ruled by shrine maidens rather than daimyo.

But the witch herself has given up her power, and she has mysterious abilities that make others fear her and dare not mess around...

Such a political system seems to be of great reference value.

"Of course." Miroku nodded.
