Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 89: War is all about money and food, so learn about your monetary power!
"Money ability?"

Uchiha Makoto said this.

However, it was obvious that Uzumaki Shinji and Uchiha Setsuna did not understand the meaning of Uchiha Makoto's words, and they continued to persuade him.

Uchiha Makoto could feel the sincerity of Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji. They did not want Uchiha Makoto to rashly declare a war on the Hidden Cloud Village in a fit of rage. Even though the strength of the Akatsuki Village was not weak, the outcome was still uncertain.

If Konoha did not send troops to help, even if Akatsuki Village won, it would be a miserable victory, which would be a loss-making situation.

"It would be putting the cart before the horse to drag yourself into the quagmire of war now just for the possibility of a war in the future. Even if a war does break out, it will be an offensive and defensive alliance between Akatsuki Village, Konoha, and the Uzumaki clan."

Uzumaki Shinji persuaded this, and Uchiha Setsuna beside him nodded.

"Humph"

Uchiha Makoto smiled and did not express any opinion. When Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha both passed away, Uchiha Makoto would be very grateful if Konoha did not stab the Akatsuki Village in the back. The old ghost Senju, who was born evil, would definitely find an opportunity to do something bad!
However, Uchiha Makoto felt it was necessary to clarify the current strength of the Akatsuki Village to Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji.

We must make them both loyal fans of Akatsuki Village!

Uchiha Setsuna!
If you want to defeat Senju Tobirama in the future, remember to think of me first.

And Uzumaki Shinji, please be sure to stand firmly on the side of Akatsuki Village, you will not suffer any loss!
With this in mind, Uchiha Makoto took the two of them out of the Light and Shadow Building and came to a secret base.

"Cheng, where is this place?"

"Yeah, why does it feel like we're getting further and further off track?"

Uchiha Makoto didn't say much, cast a seal and opened the door of this secret base.

"Fuck!!"

"Exaggeration. That can't be all."

Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji had completely lost control of their expressions as they saw the entire secret base filled with yellow detonating tags.

They were also battle-hardened ninjas. Logically, they shouldn't be so surprised to see the detonating tags, but such a number of detonating tags was really too exaggerated, far beyond their imagination. Their expressions were quite like that of Obito seeing Konan prepare 6000 billion detonating tags to bomb him.

“That’s just part of it.”

"I'll take you somewhere else."

Uchiha Makoto showed Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji the war reserves of Akatsuki Village this time. Putting aside Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, the ninja world is still very normal at the moment.

War is nothing more than money and food.

The better the equipment and the more detonating tags, the stronger the combat effectiveness. Even a Jonin would not dare to confront a Genin covered in detonating tags. If he saw such a vicious person flying towards him, he would definitely run away. What if this was a shadow clone?

"Cheng, when did you, Akatsuki Village, prepare these war supplies?"

"The number of detonating talismans"

"This is too exaggerated!"

"Yeah, how much did it cost?" Shinji Uzumaki couldn't help but ask Uchiha Setsuna, who was following behind.

"The Akatsuki Village Research Institute has revolutionized the production process and technology of detonating talismans. I spent nearly 2 billion taels on this technology alone. During this period, we tried dozens of materials and improved various processes. Although ninjas are still needed to participate in the process, most of the work can be done by ordinary people. There are no middlemen to profit from the difference, and the cost has been reduced by three to five times. The more you produce, the lower the cost."

"They are all at cost price. The detonating tags you saw are only worth a little over 1 billion taels, close to 2 billion taels. However, according to the market price in the ninja world, they are not cheap."

Uchiha Makoto glanced at the two of them, then slowly said that this was actually a top secret of the Akatsuki Village, but Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji should be trustworthy people, so it would be okay to tell them.

Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji looked at each other, silently calculated the price in their minds, and then thought about the funds of their own ninja village, and suddenly felt that this world was a bit absurd.

After a round of walking, Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Shinji were almost speechless. They saw several warehouses full of detonating tags, as well as piles of kunai, shuriken, and various war supplies.
In their opinion, the strength of Akatsuki Village and Kumogakure Village was not much different. Once the war started, it could be said that the odds were 50-50, and neither side was sure of winning.

But
Now.
It can be said that Akatsuki Village is sure to win!

Just throwing money at them can kill them.

For the Akatsuki and Kumogakure, war is a game of draining each other's health. In the early stages, neither side has much, and they keep draining each other's health. But ninja tools cost money, detonating tags cost money, medicine costs money, and even compensation for death in battle costs money. A ninja's fighting power and willpower are directly proportional to their money! The further you go, the more health you lose!
But the health bar of Xiaonin Village is too thick. Not only is it thick, but it can also restore blood. The dividends from salt this month have reached more than 6 billion taels, and it will probably be even more next month.

"Wish the Hidden Cloud Village good luck."

Uchiha Setsuna felt a little sorry for the Hidden Cloud Village. He didn't want to fight against an enemy like the Akatsuki Village. As soon as they met, they would scatter dozens of detonating tags. From time to time, a Genin covered in detonating tags would jump out from the bushes and rush towards you. It was probably a shadow clone.

Who can stand this?
"Cheng, how much money do you have in Akatsuki Village to spend like this?"

Shinji Uzumaki still couldn't recover and asked the question that concerned him the most, but Uchiha Makoto just smiled and said nothing more. Should he tell others that the annual budget of Akatsuki Village is nearly ten times that of Konoha?
Sorry, I'm afraid you'll be tempted by the money.

"I have a very good relationship with the Daimyo, and he supports me very much. After I win, the Fire Nation Daimyo will also have face. Besides, there are conflicts of interest between countries. You all understand."

Uchiha Makoto used the Daimyo as a shield and prevaricated. He was not afraid that Konoha would notice the clues and go to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to verify it afterwards.

Because the Fire Country Daimyo did know the inside story, but the previous behavior of Akatsuki Village had crossed the red line. In addition, Akatsuki Village did a great job. After the salt market was unified, the Daimyo and the nobles who participated in it all made a lot of money. Even if there were any complaints, everyone turned a blind eye for the sake of money.

Never again!

But how could Konoha know about such things?

What if they follow suit?
"That's right, it's the money I sent to Akatsuki Village. I've long been unhappy with the Land of Lightning. The previous Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was disrespectful to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Nine generations of revenge can still be avenged. Akatsuki Village did a great job!"

The Fire Country Daimyo will definitely stick to this matter and help Uchiha Makoto keep the secret.
