Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

He has now become one of Kakuzu's advisors.

He was Kakuzu's right-hand man, controlling the flow of funds throughout the entire Kusagakure village.

Upon hearing Kakuzu's question, he immediately stood up straight.

He definitely wouldn't have acted this way before, since ninjas were just another name to him.

It's nothing more than an attack that involves paying someone to kill.

But he had seen Kakuzu kill people.

My mindset has completely changed.

That was a power capable of destroying a country, and he still feels lingering fear about it.

I never imagined that ninjas could be so powerful.

This overturned his previous understanding.

He dared not hide anything as he spoke.

"Lord Kakuzu, the people who can exchange for ninjutsu have basically already done so. The four great ninja villages haven't been doing much business with us lately; they've been trading in the Kusagakure market, and we've been collecting a portion of the tax."

Gato had never heard of ninjas collecting taxes; that was originally a matter for nobles.

Even so, this place became a paradise for those wandering ninjas.

"In other words, taxes are now the bulk of the revenue."

Kado nodded.

Kakuzu frowned. He realized that ninjutsu was a one-off deal, while taxation was a sustainable business.

"Can I adjust the taxes?"

Since taxes can be collected continuously, but collecting them little by little is not as fast as making a fortune through trading ninja techniques.

Kado quickly waved his hand: "Sir, this tax cannot be mentioned casually, otherwise it will have a great impact."

He knew that those who survived in the angelic city of Kusagakure were all people of considerable strength.

Their strength is secondary; the key is that they all have intricate connections with Qian Jun.

If taxes are increased, they will definitely find ways to reduce the offerings to the army.

Conflicts may even occur.

Business will suffer then.

Kakuzu sighed helplessly; he too was dazzled by the sums of money involved in the ninjutsu transactions.

"Now the only thing left to do is make a deal with Konoha."

Kakuzu pondered for a moment.

"They must be very rich."

After all, it is the head of the five great ninja villages.

Shiguro Aburame, dressed entirely in airtight armor, walked down the main street of Kusagakure with two Root members.

Are they all ordinary people?

Aburame Shiro raised her finger, and the nano-poisonous insects flew onto her hand without anyone around noticing.

He surveyed the surrounding area and found that most of the people there were ordinary people and a number of wandering ninjas.

"This village is really strange."

The Root personnel behind him spoke up.

"Don't you find something even stranger?"

Another ninja spoke up.

Aburame Shiguro and another Root ninja looked at him at the same time.

"what?"

This is a muscular, bald man with dark circles around his eyes.

"Why is it that we have no intelligence at all in such a chaotic place?"

This made Shiro Aburame and another ninja frown.

indeed.

In a village as chaotic as this, intelligence shouldn't be tightly controlled.

They simply cannot do it.

They all enter along with the flow of people, and the number of people coming and going every day is unknown.

However, their roots did not receive much intelligence.

Aburame Shiguro's heart sank slightly; it seemed that their information about Kusagakure was obtained from spies in other villages.

Why can't I get it here?

"I suspect there are mind-controlling ninjas here."

The conclusion reached by the burly ninja.

"Similar to the Mountain Clan?"

Aburame Shiguro fell into deep thought, but when did the opponent launch the ninjutsu?

He sensed something was wrong.

But I couldn't think of anything wrong at all.

"Captain Shiguro, are we going to wipe out everyone here?"

"The ninja next to me asked."

Yu Nuzhi nodded.

"After all, the news of the destruction of a village cannot be leaked, otherwise it will alert other villages."

The root members never leave any survivors.

A large number of members are already lying in ambush outside.

"Gather enemy intelligence as quickly as possible and launch a surprise attack tonight."

Aburame Shiro gave the order.

He originally wanted to postpone the final attack for two more days, as he needed to gather information on the ninjutsu of the Grass Village leader first.

But ever since he entered the Grass Ninja Village, he has felt a vague unease in his heart.

Turning to look at the two ninjas behind him, whose eyes were devoid of any emotion, he realized that these were true Root ninjas, never controlled by feelings.

"Disperse!"

The three of them disappeared from the spot at the same time.

They began gathering intelligence throughout the entire Kusagakure village.

Kakuzu was still looking at the financial statements.

Looking at this data every day, he can feel the money flowing into his pocket steadily.

Unfortunately, most of them have to be handed over.

"Sigh." Kakuzu sighed.

It's been countless days since he decided to kill Uchiha Kin.

If he weren't outmatched, he would have loved to keep all the money for himself.

"You seem to be thinking about something bad."

A voice sounded softly behind him, startling Kakuzu. He turned around and saw that Kim had appeared behind him at some point.

"How did you come?"

Kakuzu's voice was calm. This guy really doesn't take long to be talked to. He just muttered something to himself and he appeared.

Jin scoffed, seeing that Kakuzu was guilty, and the more guilty he was, the calmer his voice would be.

It's hard to tell unless you've spent a lot of time with them.

"I'm here to remind you that the Konoha ninja have arrived?"

Jin had already received news of the arrival of the secret agents, so he naturally came to see what was going on.

"Were you sent?"

Kakuzu looked at Kin.

"How can it be."

Kim shrugged.

"My status in Konoha is quite extraordinary now; even the Hokage doesn't have that much power to mobilize me."

"Then who will they send to make the deal?"

"trade?"

Jin chuckled. Danzo wasn't there for the trade.

Of course, his influence also played a part; if he hadn't deliberately blocked the news.

Danzo definitely knows more.

He might not dare to do that.

"He came to destroy the Grass Village, steal your money, and steal your ninjutsu."

"boom!"

Kakuzu slammed his hand down on the table in front of him, shattering it, his face turning cold.

"I think he's courting death."

Anyone who dares to covet his money will face a blood feud with him.
