Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Chapter 162 Market Prospects Worth Hundreds of Billions

Faced with billions in profits, even the deceased Third Kazekage seems utterly worthless.

There was nothing that could be done, no matter how much the villagers regretted it.

The dead are the dead. Instead of dwelling on past hatred, we should look forward to a better future. Isn't that the attitude that the living should have?

"Hokage advisor, you can't just say things like that. We're still in Kazekage Village, after all. Do you realize you have to take responsibility for what you've said? Hundreds of billions? The people of Konoha certainly have a huge appetite. Do they even know how much hundreds of billions is?"

"Even the wealthiest daimyo in the ninja world, the Land of Fire, might not be able to come up with that amount."

An old consultant said in a deep voice, his face grim.

"It absolutely can't be fake, really?"

Yun An leaned forward, looking at the Fengying Village advisors who were beginning to have doubts, a sly smile on his face. "We're all men, and men should understand the urgency in this area, especially for the nobles of the major countries. This thing is only more attractive to them."

"They would absolutely be willing to pay, wouldn't they?"

Yun An asked a series of questions, and at that moment, Granny Chiyo couldn't help but roll her eyes, while the Fourth Kazekage Rasa next to her didn't care about any dignity at all.

Fengying Village is in a constant financial crisis and is on the verge of collapse. Under such circumstances, whoever can give Fengying Lord a break is the greatest benefactor of the entire Fengying Village.

Isn't it just making some special puppets?

What is this? Could it be more important than the survival of the entire Wind Shadow Village?

To put it bluntly, it's pure nonsense.

At least Luo Sha would never give up this opportunity. "This can be done, and even Scorpion can survive, but the premise is that this market worth hundreds of billions must be real."

Otherwise, Scorpion must die; only in this way can we maintain social stability in our Wind Shadow Village.

Clearly, this Fourth Kazekage has recently learned quite a few new words from the Konoha Daily News, otherwise he might not have been able to say something like that.

Granny Chiyo glanced at Rasa, nodded silently, and then began to speak: "All the puppeteers in Kazekage Village can mobilize and contribute to the village."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, immediately revealed a hint of delighted smile.

At this moment, he didn't really believe in the prospect of hundreds of billions, but he was afraid of the worst-case scenario. What if it really was true?

Wouldn't he make a fortune then?

This is far too important for the entire Fengying Village, so important that even if they know it's a trap, they have to jump in, otherwise the village's future will truly be in jeopardy.

Seeing that their own Shadow Capital had already agreed, the other Shadow Consultants opened their mouths, but forgot to haggle.

This shows how important this matter is to the entire village. As long as there is money, let alone hundreds of billions, even just a few hundred million, it is a turning point that Fengying Village cannot ignore.

They simply dared not gamble.

"Understood."

Many of the advisors nodded in agreement, and the matter was approved so easily.

Before possessing the strength to dominate the entire ninja world, monetary wealth is undoubtedly of paramount importance, and this has remained virtually unchanged throughout history.

Once Yun An left, another burst of excited shouts erupted in the office. Fortunately, a soundproof barrier had been set up in advance; otherwise, the dignified Wind Shadow Lord would have lost all face.

"Chiyo, is this really possible? Could it be a lie told by the people of Konoha to deceive us?"

Rasa couldn't hide the joy on his face. Chiyo saw it and knew that this Kazekage had been suffering for too long. However, he was a little embarrassed by his appearance. But he still explained with the intention of helping the village: "This market is indeed very likely to exist. The only difference is whether there is a prospect of hundreds of billions. That is unknown."

But even if there isn't any, it doesn't matter. As long as there's a profit of tens of billions, it'll be enough to give the whole village a much-needed breather.

"That's true."

Rasa opened his mouth slightly, but Chiyo, understanding the hardship her Kazekage had endured, didn't continue to tease him.

Although they only receive one-third of the profits, the annual revenue of over 10 billion is enough to transform the entire Fengying Village into a paradise, which is enough to make people happy.

The rest is beyond what Fengying Village can hope for at present; having this much income is already quite remarkable.

On the other side, all the members of Sasori's ANBU withdrew. Chiyo pushed open the door and went in, looking at her grandson behind the iron bars with anger and disappointment: "Why did you do that?"

When facing Chiyo, Scorpion was unusually less nonchalant than usual, and finally looked more like a young man, but he still stubbornly said, "Old woman, why do you care so much?"

Ninjas are the best puppets, and powerful ninjas are the best puppet weapons. That's what we puppeteers should do, isn't it?

As he spoke, a hint of mockery appeared on Scorpion's face. "You know I've always been selfish. Since Mom and Dad were willing to risk their lives for the entire village, why can't Lord Kazekage? That's what fairness is."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Scorpion laughed maniacally, but his words struck at Chiyo's most sensitive spot, leaving her unable to utter a single word.

Ultimately, it was she who owed the child, and the entire village who owed him.

"This time, the village will not execute you."

Chiyo remained silent for a long time before finally speaking up.

"Know."

Scorpion sneered. "So what if there's a conflict of interest? Don't worry, I still value my life. Besides, I have you here, my wife. I'll be fine."

With a market worth hundreds of billions, how could Fengying Village, which is so poor, possibly bear to kill me?

It's simply a win-win situation for everyone.

He looked up at Chiyo, his tone indifferent, "There's no need for unnecessary words. Between us, it's nothing more than mutual exploitation."

Although Scorpion's words were extremely harsh, none of the people in Fengying Village could refute them, and in the end they could only acquiesce.

"Do a good job this time, and from now on you will no longer be a Scorpion. Give him a code name: Prodigal Son."

Chiyo made the decision directly, ultimately taking into account the feelings of the majority of the villagers.

"I know, I know."

Scorpion, looking impatient, gave a perfunctory reply.

Only after Chiyo left this shamanic territory did the place finally return to its original tranquility.

Scorpion muttered under his breath, "That old woman talks too much. When did it become her place to worry about me? It's completely unnecessary."
