In the Konoha tent.
Orochimaru stared intently at Satoru Hyūga in front of him.
"Satoru Hyūga, you've been staying in the tent these days. You must be up to something, right?"
"Sort of. I developed a new ninjutsu, but it's nothing special," Satoru Hyūga said casually.
"Really?"
Orochimaru chewed on his words for a moment and continued, "You know what? Yesterday, a new Fourth Kazekage ascended to power in Sunagakure. The new Fourth Kazekage is Yakura."
"Really?"
Satoru Hyūga became curious. He had been making small figurines these days and hadn't paid much attention to the outside world.
"Rasa seems to be finished. Tsk tsk... The Kage of a great ninja village has fallen to such a state..."
Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh.
He could picture Rasa's current miserable state. This isn't a normal succession of the Kazekage. Otherwise, Yakura should be the Fifth Kazekage, not the Fourth.
This implies...
Rasa was removed from his position as the Kazekage.
How ridiculous... The Kage of a village being removed from power. It seems to be the first time in history.
Satoru Hyūga also shook his head and smiled.
He didn't expect his good brother Rasa to have been ruined by him.
It was inevitable. Ever since he left the village, he had been trying every means to scheme against Rasa.
Good brother, you can't blame me.
I was just giving you some tough experiences, but you couldn't stand it.
Satoru Hyūga shrugged helplessly.
"There's one more thing," Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out as he looked at Satoru Hyūga with a smile.
"Satoru Hyūga, your bounty in the underground black market has reached a whopping 100 million ryo. I heard that a ninja who once fought the First Hokage in the black market is looking for you all over the world."
"Oh?"
Satoru Hyūga's expression turned strange.
It seems to be Kakuzu.
He had previously controlled the gold sand to rob his goods and framed Rasa, then sat back and watched the fight.
Now that his Magnet Release ability is exposed, it's normal for Kakuzu to look for him all over the world.
Moreover, there is a bounty of 100 million ryo.
"Satoru Hyūga, aren't you even a little nervous?"
Orochimaru looked at Satoru Hyūga curiously. That was a ninja who had fought the First Hokage. Just the mention of his name was enough to terrify a lot of ninjas.
"Nervous? Why should I be nervous?"
Satoru Hyūga looked at him strangely.
He suddenly had an idea to make a fortune.
It'll cost Kakuzu a fortune!
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and continued, "The latest intelligence shows that after the Iwa ninjas learned about your ability, they immediately replaced their Shuriken and Kunai with bone and wooden ones overnight to ensure that the weapons contained no metal."
"I heard that the prices of ninja tools in the ninja world have changed greatly recently, and all the ninja villages are offering high prices to buy non - metal weapons."
"Really?"
Satoru Hyūga suddenly thought.
Wasn't Uchiha Rin's family running a ninja tool shop, and it was a big business.
Should he talk to Rin about mass - producing non - metal weapons to make a fortune!
He didn't care what type of weapons the enemies were equipped with. His abilities were far more than just that.
Moreover, regardless of the situation, the sale of non-metallic weapons was an inevitable trend.
It's better to let his own people benefit than others.
"Then what about the Forehead Protector? Weapons can be replaced with bones or wood, but isn't the Forehead Protector made of metal?"
Hearing the question from Satoru Hyūga, Orochimaru suddenly burst into laughter.
"Except for Konoha, all the major ninja villages are inventing new types of Forehead Protectors. Currently, the most popular one is to paint the ninja village's symbol on a piece of cloth."
"Is there such an operation?"
A piece of cloth?
Painting a symbol?
What a vivid picture!
Satoru Hyūga smiled and asked, "Do they use white cloth?"
Orochimaru thought for a while.
"Well, it seems that to save costs, many of them are undyed white cloth."
Pfft!
Satoru Hyūga burst out laughing.
Am I indirectly promoting the economic development and ideological awakening of the ninja world?
Orochimaru suddenly fell silent.
He stared deeply at Satoru Hyūga.
"By the way, Satoru Hyūga, those three Hyūga ninja who returned early are missing."
"Really?"
Satoru Hyūga feigned surprise.
"Currently, we don't know the reason, and there are no signs of a fight. It's as if they vanished into thin air."
"I've been staying in the camp and only just learned about this."
"After all, they are all of the same clan. I hope they're okay!"
Satoru Hyūga shrugged, showing his condolences.
"Yes." Orochimaru laughed hoarsely.
"I can also confirm that Satoru Hyūga has been staying in the camp."
The main force began to withdraw.
They returned to Konoha in a grand manner.
The Sand ninja had surrendered.
The cease - fire agreement was still being signed, and Sunagakure was facing huge compensation for the defeat.
If they wanted to redeem the One-Tail, they had to multiply the amount by ten.
This made the already poor village even more destitute.
Satoru Hyūga suddenly thought that his good friend Rasa might have to work to pay off the debt. Having lost his position as the Kazekage, but still having Magnet Release, he might not be able to pay off the debt even if he dug gold sand for a lifetime.
It took a full 100,000 experience points to upgrade the Electromagnetic Force to lv5. It was unrealistic to enhance his strength through Electromagnetic Force upgrades in the short term.
Satoru Hyūga turned his attention to scientific research.
Whether it was the Tenseigan plan or promoting the clan's transformation, a large amount of money was needed.
Satoru Hyūga smiled.
Although he was returning to the village with the main force at the moment.
But he was here and not here at the same time.
It seemed very complicated and involved quantum mechanics.
In fact, it was very simple. He had taken over Zero's body.
His real body was returning to the village with the main force, seemingly normal.
On the other hand, he controlled a clone to secretly head to the underground black market.
A perfect alibi.
As long as Satoru Hyūga wished, he could take over Zero's body at any time.
This was also the reason why he wasn't worried at all about rebellion or self - awareness awakening.
Because Zero is essentially his clone, a pure clone capable of self - growth.
In a Forest dozens of miles away from the main force of Konoha, a silver metal fighter was flying rapidly at low altitude, with blue flames jetting from its tail wing.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the fighter landed in the Forest. The silver fluid wriggled and transformed into the likeness of Satoru Hyūga.
It looked almost identical.
Satoru Hyūga smiled.
His current body was very much like the Terminators in the Terminator movies, but a super - pro version.
This was the horror of nanomaterials. Although it was essentially metal, it could completely take on a human appearance through the stacking of nanomolecules.
Combined with the Transformation Technique, it became the ultimate Transformation Technique.
It could not only imitate the appearance, but also felt and even functioned exactly the same.
This clone was much weaker than the original body in terms of Electromagnetic Force ability, but in some aspects, the original body was also incomparable, such as changes in length.
In the future, Satoru Hyūga considered letting this clone act as one of his aliases.
But for now, he has to deal with Kakuzu.
Although this clone couldn't use the ability of the Byakugan, electromagnetic perception still remained.
Kakuzu's multi - hearted form was extremely conspicuous in the electromagnetic perception.
He's almost here.
Satoru Hyūga curled up the corner of his mouth.
