บท 41: Chapter 40: Even the Kazekage is Working for the Village
The Izumi Country Chamber of Commerce was secretly relocating, and some of its storefronts had already been sold.
By the time Raijin arrived, the secret room was filled with gold bricks.
This was the money that Yakushi Kabuto had exchanged after selling all of his assets.
It was said that an unknown Sand ninja from the Land of Wind had brought a large amount of gold.
The quantity was so terrifying that it could practically affect the economic development of three countries.
It was extremely difficult to convert such a massive amount of gold into assets and cash.
There simply weren't enough clients in the market.
After a long and arduous search, by chance,
A young man contacted him and offered to buy all of his gold inventory at half the market price.
The price was good, and it wasn't a big loss for him.
This unknown Sand ninja was looking for big clients like Raijin.
Because once a large amount of gold entered the market, there would be huge fluctuations.
It might even plummet from a high price to become worthless.
So even with countless gold, he could only sell a small portion each year.
This time, he was able to sell it all at once, fulfilling his wish.
He even hoped for long-term cooperation, to continue this kind of transaction.
But this time, Yakushi Kabuto was selling all his assets, so such an opportunity for cooperation was basically gone.
"The person you mentioned... couldn't be the Kazekage of Sunagakure, could it?"
Raijin felt that this description was very similar to someone.
That person was the most unique Kazekage, possessing the Gold Dust Technique.
He could excavate gold from the ground and even create a rain of gold during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
In recent years, he had heard that Sunagakure's finances hadn't been doing well.
He even heard that the Daimyo had directly cut Sunagakure's budget in half.
Sunagakure was one of the Five Great Nations, but now it seemed to be struggling financially.
In recent years, he had heard that they had even started cutting back on ninjas.
They reduced the number of ninjas to alleviate some of the pressure.
"That's probably right. I also investigated the person's identity!"
"But I couldn't find out who they were."
Yakushi Kabuto gently pushed his glasses, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Although the title of Kazekage was fearsome, he wasn't someone who broke his promises.
After receiving the payment, he readily handed over the massive amount of gold.
He seemed very forthright, perhaps because he had investigated their background.
The Uchiha clan's name wasn't something to be easily offended.
"It doesn't matter if they're the Kazekage or a rogue ninja. As long as we got what we wanted, that's enough."
"There's no need to keep the rest. If we can't sell it, we'll just throw it away."
"Or we could package it all up and give it to that Kazekage, and ask if we can buy their village's Puppet Technique secrets."
Raijin didn't bother to care about the other person's identity anymore. Even if their status was high, it didn't matter.
What he wanted was to turn all the cash and assets in the ninja world into gold.
In his eyes, gold was the real hard currency.
Then, in the world of navigation, it could easily help him establish a foundation.
Now Raijin even wanted to sell the Uchiha clan's assets.
Unfortunately, he couldn't touch those.
If he did, Konoha would start to worry.
After all, the Uchiha clan occupied a large amount of real estate in Konoha.
Most of the stores you could see in Konoha belonged to the Uchiha.
"Yes!"
Yakushi Kabuto nodded.
It seemed that time was tight, and Lord Raijin didn't want to delay any longer.
They had only sold off most of it, and there was still a portion that hadn't been sold yet.
That portion was also a massive amount!
It could even sustain Sunagakure's operations for a short period.
Such benefits, even an ordinary person wouldn't be able to resist taking them.
Let alone the Kazekage, who bore the immense pressure of Sunagakure.
He was afraid that upon hearing the news, as long as it wasn't a particularly special puppet technique secret,
They would basically send it over if they were interested.
Then, he would be very happy to welcome someone who loved puppetry to visit Sunagakure.
It would be even better if they could marry a wife in Sunagakure, have children, and settle down there.
Yakushi Kabuto hurriedly left the basement and went to contact the Kazekage.
Raijin looked at the glittering gold bars in front of him, a smile appearing on his face.
Kamui!
A giant vortex flickered in his eyes.
In an instant, countless gold bars were sucked into Raijin's eyes along with the vortex.
In just a few minutes, Raijin had used up more than half of his chakra.
But all the gold bars here had been placed in the Kamui dimension.
In other words, he now had a large sum of start-up capital.
In the world of pirates, they wouldn't have to resort to banditry.
After all, Raijin had to support such a large family.
The Uchiha clan's elderly and children, those without combat abilities.
Even those without awakened Sharingan and ordinary Genin.
There were also ordinary people in the Uchiha clan.
Not everyone was a ninja.
Raijin had to take them with him too.
These were all within the scope of Raijin's responsibility.
So, the pressure on Raijin was also immense.
He couldn't just set off on a whim.
He had to make plans for the future, lest he be caught unprepared.
Arriving in the pirate world and starving before accomplishing anything.
But with this money, Raijin could completely buy a small country.
He could settle the Uchiha clan there and start developing.
"Lord Raijin!"
Yamanaka Ino walked into the basement and glanced at the space where the gold bars used to be, now empty.
She was slightly stunned but quickly recovered.
For someone like Raijin, possessing such abilities,
In her eyes, it was normal, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Are you ready?"
Raijin looked at Ino.
When this woman wore a ninja uniform,
She exuded a heroic aura similar to Tsunade's.
But in casual clothes, she was like a gentle wife.
Speaking of wives!
Raijin immediately thought of his clan leader's wife.
He had to admit,
Raijin's thoughts had wandered off at this moment.
He quickly pulled his attention back.
"Kabuto went to handle the remaining matters. Zabuza and Hidan are ready and awaiting your orders at any time," Ino said directly.
The village of the Sky Ninja was quite special. During Ino's investigation, she discovered
that this village seemed to have never given up on seeking revenge against Konoha.
They had been hiding themselves and had already developed considerable strength.
But they had never revealed themselves from beginning to end.
If Raijin hadn't inquired this time,
They might not even know about the existence of the Sky Ninja village.
"Then let's go! Have them wear Konoha's forehead protectors. Konoha needs the motivation of hatred to become stronger."
"Remember to have Zabuza bring the sword he used in Kirigakure's Anbu!"
Raijin instructed, a hint of amusement on his face.
They already harbored such hatred towards Konoha.
With him stirring things up like this,
He was afraid this powder keg would explode directly.
