Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 38 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Danzo, you really got what you deserved. Am I a clown?

Uchiha Makoto glanced at the "ignorant" daimyo indifferently and didn't bother with him much.

Since the daimyo is unwilling to meet Hashirama Senju, he can do it for him. As a middleman, he will have more opportunities to manipulate the situation.

"Your Highness, leave this matter to me."

"Put this letter aside for now. If Hashirama Senju comes to the capital of the Land of Fire himself, I will be responsible for meeting him."

"That would be great."

After receiving Uchiha Makoto's assurance, a smile appeared on the daimyo's face.

After the letter issue was resolved, the two discussed the Tulip Project.

Now Tulip's plan is about to reach its climax, according to the information currently available.

In the next month, cash flow from all countries in the ninja world will flow into the tulip market. Uchiha Makoto plans to launch a new trading method such as contract trading at the appropriate time.

This trick is called adding fuel to the fire!

The two chatted for a while and finalized some specific details of the plan's implementation, such as the fact that experts in spreading false rumors and stirring up trouble must be placed in various tulip trading markets in the Fire Nation.

About half an hour passed.

After the two finished their conversation, Uchiha Makoto left the room. Now he had to rest for a night. Since he received the letter from the daimyo, he rushed here overnight.

The week passed quickly.

The price of tulips began to rise even faster than before.

Danzo Shimura, who plunged into the tulip speculation market, was immersed in the happiness of "rising, rising, rising" every day.

His worldview was severely damaged.

How can making money be so difficult?
You just need to use money to buy a batch of tulips, and then you can wake up the next day to make a lot of money. This is not something you can do just by having hands!

at the same time.

His desires began to overflow as his worldview changed, and could even be said to be distorted. He had originally planned to invest only one million taels, but now Danzo has begun to embezzle large quantities of the family's purchase funds to buy tulips several times, and the current amount has reached a staggering 50 million taels. The returns are naturally extremely generous, and his income has doubled!
In just one week, he earned 50 million taels!

What a terrible profit!

The money that Senju Tobirama tried so hard to embezzle was probably not as much as what Danzo earned this week.

But Danzo has not chosen to stop yet.

According to rumors circulating in the market, this is just the beginning, and there will be a steady influx of funds. The price is still halfway up the mountain!

"How can you stop now?"

“If you don’t give it your all when you can make a lot of money, you don’t know when you’ll encounter such an opportunity again!”

Such words were spread everywhere in the Tulip Exchange, and Shimura Danzo agreed with them deeply. That's what he thought!
Those timid people who get off the bus halfway and want to sell at the slightest sign of trouble?

Why are you so scared when the price drops a little?

So what if the price plummets!
According to Shimura Danzo's analysis of past price trends, these are all short-term corrections, a reversal to catch up, and a technical adjustment!

Those who choose to sell now are all brainless leeks. Sooner or later, they will have to buy the goods back at a high price!
"I have to go see that idiot Hiruzen again."

"Poor Sarutobi Hiruzen, what can he do today?"

"It's nothing more than haggling with those profiteers over a few hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Danzo Shimura thought so, strode forward, and left the Tulip Trading Market with a sense of satisfaction. He had been sitting in the Tulip Trading Market all day today. In fact, ever since he made a fortune in the Tulip Market, he had already put the task of purchasing supplies behind him.

In his opinion, such tasks can be done at any time, and the most important thing now is to make a lot of money!

Now that you have made money, are you still worried about not being able to buy things?
Therefore, Danzo Shimura's purchasing task progressed slowly, far behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Danzo's attitude was different now. In the first few days, Danzo still needed to think of excuses and pretend to deceive Sarutobi Hiruzen, but now he didn't even want to pretend.

"Hurizen, we got nothing today again. Those guys are all profiteers!"

Shimura Danzo's face was full of joy, and he didn't feel disappointed at all because of the delayed progress.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing before him, wore a grim expression. Hiruzen Sarutobi was no fool.

At first, Danzo's disguise could still fool him, but later Danzo's behavior became more and more excessive, and now he doesn't even pretend!

In order to find out what Danzo had been doing these days, Sarutobi Hiruzen specially followed him today and saw with his own eyes that Danzo Shimura walked into the tulip trading market, and then did not come out until the time the two had agreed to meet.

"Danzo, you are still lying in front of me!"

"Aren't you making fun of me like a monkey?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered indignantly in his heart, and then confronted Danzo directly.

"Danzo, stop pretending!"

"You haven't been carrying out any procurement work for a while now, right? I already know the truth. How can you be worthy of Master Tobirama?"

"Business like tulips is not something we ninjas can get involved in. Danzo, you must turn back as soon as possible!"

Danzo Shimura's expression changed, and then he realized something.

"Huruzen, you're following me!!"

"Yes, I did follow you, but it was all for your own good. Right now, our most important task is to complete the procurement of supplies."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke righteously, his face showing a righteous expression.

As a companion, he couldn't bear to watch Danzo go further and further down the wrong path.

"Ok."

"I originally planned to continue to get along with you as an ordinary ninja, but in return I got alienated by you."

"I'm going to show my cards. I'm not going to pretend anymore."

When Danzo Shimura saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen had discovered his secret, he simply stopped hiding it from him. Calculating the time, it was time to reveal the truth to Hiruzen.

"Danzo, why do you still have this attitude? I'm only thinking about you."

"We are companions!"

"I can't bear to see you make more and more mistakes!"

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's "honest advice", Shimura Danzo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and even couldn't help but hum.

"Hiruzen, you're not a bad person, you just have a very narrow vision."

"Now that you can tell me these two heartfelt words, I've decided to take you with me to make a fortune."

"What do you mean by making a lot of money, Danzo?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in confusion, while Shimura Danzo slowly stretched out five fingers.

"Hiruzen, guess how much money I've made recently?"

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Danzo shook his head.

"Five million taels?"
