Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Fine, even if there are enough Kage-level shinobi to participate in the event, how can you be sure that the ninja villages will accept your invitation? Even if you extend the invitation as the ruler of Amegakure, the other ninja villages might not even respond..."

Nagato analyzed the situation from a realistic perspective: although the previous Kage of the five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world are all in your organization, can they interfere with the decisions of the ninja villages?

Not necessarily. Some people might be able to, but others probably wouldn't.

As for the smaller ninja villages... some might follow the decisions of the larger ninja villages, but others prefer to stay out of it and develop quietly...

Therefore, it is simply impossible to gather all the ninja villages together.

Fang Rui, unaware of what Nagato was thinking, shrugged indifferently and said casually, "Don't worry, the five great ninja villages will definitely accept my invitation. As for the smaller ninja villages... give them more and better prizes, and quite a few of them should come."

"Can……"

Before Nagato could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted, "Let's also promote this a bit more, let ordinary people know about it, attract them to watch the match, and launch some commercial activities to make a lot of money..."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's eyes gleamed with a green light as he grasped the key phrase: "can make a lot of money."

Nagato and Yahiko were also somewhat interested. The economic situation of Amegakure was not very optimistic. Maintaining the status quo was not a problem, but it was not enough if they wanted to develop...

"Moreover, if we can make Amegakure famous, it should attract some people to settle down in Amegakure."

Upon hearing this, Nagato and Yahiko became even more interested, since population was essential for development.

"Okay, you've convinced me."

After a while, Nagato said, "Tell me, what is there that I can help with?"

"Yes, you and Yahiko will be in charge of publicity. Make sure the entire ninja world knows about the event that Amegakure is going to hold and the prizes..."

Nagato and Yahiko: "…………" To be honest, I think you're joking.

'What should we do?' Yahiko gave him a look.

'How should I know?' Nagato rolled her eyes slightly.

Konan didn't join the conversation. She said bluntly, "It's impossible. The ninja world is too vast. It's simply impossible for everyone in the ninja world to know about this in just one week."

"No problem, I have a suggestion. Send a giant summoning beast to wander around the ninja world with a banner. In a week, most of the ninja world should know about it..."

"Besides, I don't want everyone to participate in the event. The main thing is to let people know about it and attract some people to watch the competition, such as wealthy people..."

"As for how to get money out of the pockets of rich people..."

Before Fang Rui could finish speaking, Kakuzu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Leave it to me! I promise..."

"Stop!" Fang Rui perfectly replicated Kakuzu's words, interrupting him and saying directly, "I want to do business and make money, you want to rob me."

"Xiao Nan, keep an eye on him during the competition, don't let him cause any trouble!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui's tone suddenly turned sinister: "If he dares to cause trouble during the competition, exchange all his money for explosive tags and blow them all up at once..."

"BOOM!!!"

Fang Rui made an explosion gesture, and Kakuzu's expression immediately turned ugly, as if he could already see his hard-earned money turning into useless black ash. Konan's expression was slightly off, and she looked at Fang Rui with a subtle gaze. She felt that Fang Rui must know something, and Deidara...

"Art!!!"

He was very excited. He was interested in any kind of explosion, and he became excited as soon as he heard Fang Rui's words.

"Make sure I can light it when the time comes!"

Deidara's incredibly sincere tone instantly made Kakuzu bristle. A bunch of tentacles burst out from under his skin, baring their fangs and claws, looking incredibly irritating.

"You'll never see that kind of scene!"

A thick aura of killing intent filled the air, and Kakuzu's tone was unusually low.

Deidara had no intention of arguing. He had already made a mental note of the matter and decided to follow Kakuzu during the competition to try to find evidence of Kakuzu's mistake. Then he would be able to see another form of artistic expression.

I wonder what the difference is between a scene of a bunch of explosive tags exploding and a scene of explosive clay exploding...

Kakuzu suddenly felt a chill. His intuition told him that the source of the chill was Deidara, who was immersed in his fantasy and had an expectant look on his face.

'What is this guy thinking...'

Kakuzu squinted. Although he couldn't guess what Deidara was thinking, he was certain that what Deidara was thinking was definitely not a good thing for him.

'How about...'

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them is impossible to hide. Deidara trembled, jumped back abruptly, and looked at Kakuzu warily.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Hmph!" Kakuzu withdrew his killing intent, snorted, and took a few steps back to his original position.

The balcony returned to a quiet state.

"Anyone else have any questions?"

Looking at everyone, Fang Rui asked this question.

Of course there are problems, and many at that...

but……

After exchanging glances for a while, everyone realized that some questions were not appropriate to ask, and others were unnecessary to inquire about, so no one spoke on the balcony.

"Very good, since there are no problems, then let's dismiss."

With that, Fang Rui gestured for everyone to leave.

Upon receiving Fang Rui's signal, the group refrained from taking any action for the time being. After standing there for a while, Itachi Uchiha turned and left first. As he left, his gaze lingered on Fugaku and Mikoto for a moment, but he ultimately said nothing.

Kisame thought about it carefully for a while and realized that he seemed unable to offer any help, so he left with Itachi Uchiha.

Deidara and Sasori left together, their whereabouts unknown, but they did not leave Amegakure.

Kakuzu stayed here, still not giving up the idea of ​​making money.

Nagato and Yahiko wanted to ask Fang Rui where he was going to find so many summoning beasts. Although the Rinnegan could summon many summoning beasts, the number had decreased after the previous battle, and the number of summoning beasts that could be summoned was already limited.

Fugaku and Mikoto, however, wanted to ask about Uchiha Sasuke, so they did not leave.

Hidan looked around for a while, then suddenly said, "Speaking of which, where's Zetsu? Did he leave the organization?"

However, no one answered his question; they were all busy dealing with their own affairs.

"Mr. Fang, I'd like to ask, is Sasuke alright with Lord Orochimaru?"

Fugaku sounded a little nervous, after all, Orochimaru's reputation wasn't very good.

"It's okay for now."

Upon hearing the two mention Orochimaru, Fang Rui's thoughts also shifted to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's direct combat ability isn't particularly strong among Kage-level fighters, but his survivability is exceptional. He possesses a vast array of ninjutsu, and...

He is a scientist!

The key point is that they are scientists with exceptionally strong research and development capabilities.

"Speaking of which, Orochimaru has a lot of good stuff hidden away!"

"Robbing by force is not in my nature."

'I have countless ways to get Orochimaru to willingly hand over his research findings.'

Thinking this, Fang Rui extended an invitation: "I'm just about to go find Orochimaru, you can come with me."

"Wait a minute, you just said you wanted to hold an event, and now you want to go find Orochimaru. Who's going to take care of the preparations for the event?!"

Xiao Nan quickly poured cold water on Fang Rui, to prevent this impulsive guy from forgetting the important matter.

"Don't worry." Fang Rui gave an OK sign and tossed a ring to Konan and the others. Konan and Nagato, who already possessed similar technology, immediately had a bad feeling.

According to Murphy's Law, the things you worry about most are more likely to happen, therefore...

“I have prepared the corresponding plan. This ring can communicate remotely, so we can use it to contact each other. I can use it to give you tasks, and you can also use it to ask me questions if you don’t understand something or can’t make a decision…”

To put it another way, it means you handle the work, I'll just talk the talk.

Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko exchanged glances for a moment, expressing their dissatisfaction with the decision and immediately protesting.

"No, you need to leave at least three shadow clones to help."

Want to shirk your responsibilities?!

Three words: Impossible!

"no problem."

Fang Rui shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

It's important to understand that not all clones are the same. Let alone three, even doubling the number wouldn't be a problem.

"Boss Fang, making money..."

Kakuzu found an opportunity to interject, but was interrupted by Fang Rui before he could finish speaking.

"Yes, but you must follow Xiao Nan's instructions and you can give Xiao Nan suggestions."

After saying that, Fang Rui, Fu Yue, and Mikoto left the place...

Chapter 259 Meeting with Orochimaru

Sound Village is located within the Land of Rice Fields. Osaka is ostensibly a ninja village belonging to the Land of Rice Fields, but in reality, it is Orochimaru's private army organization. Moreover, due to the special nature of Sound Village, its location is also somewhat special...

"underground……"

Fang Rui's gaze swept across the ordinary village, then settled on an ordinary house in the village.

"Do you think... Orochimaru has some kind of problem? Why does he like to burrow underground? Is it a snake's instinct?"

"Speaking of which, do snakes like to burrow underground?"

Fugaku and Mikoto had no answer to Fang Rui's question. Most members of the Uchiha clan kept cats and were not very familiar with the habits of snakes.

Besides, aren't we talking about Orochimaru?

Having received no response to their complaints, Fang Rui withdrew his gaze, bored, and walked into the village with the two. Under the interference of the illusion, the villagers did not notice them.

The journey was smooth, and they soon arrived at the entrance to the underground base. The three of them entered the underground base along the straight downward passage. On the walls on both sides of the passage, there was a light every two or three meters or so, and the wires were arranged in a slightly messy manner.

The gleaming eyes wandered for a while before finally settling on a certain spot.

"follow me."
