The capital of the Land of Fire, Chiba Hotel.
"I'm back, did you miss me?"
Returning to the tea room on the second floor of the hotel, Tetsuya pushed open the door and greeted with a loud laugh.
Izuna, who was sitting behind the coffee table sipping tea, didn't even acknowledge his existence.
Kakuzu, who was sitting on the side, was looking seriously through the account book. When he heard Tetsuya's voice, he stood up excitedly.
"Boss, you're back!"
When he saw Tetsuya, his hands holding the account book couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing this scene, Izuna couldn't help but roll his eyes. If one had no prior knowledge, one would have assumed that the Great 5 Element ninja, S grade rebellious ninja Kakuzu is just an ordinary money obsessed businessman.
"Where did you find this weirdo? He's a money-grubber. He demanded to see the account book right away. If he didn't have the key in his hand, I would have assumed that he came here to cause trouble."
When Kakuzu arrived at Chiba Grand Hotel with the key, Izuna suspected that he was a thief and used Sharingan to control him.
After careful questioning, it was discovered that this guy was indeed recruited by Tetsuya and was holding a key in his hand.
Izuna asked him why he chose to come at the darkest hour, and the guy replied sheepishly that he was used to it.
Kakuzu was lucky to have encountered Uchiha Izuna, and not his brother Uchiha Madara.
Otherwise, only ashes would remain in place of Kakuzu.
"Hi, I met Kakuzu on my way back to Konoha. He ambushed me and wanted to trade my head for a bounty, but I appreciate his talents, so I recruited him and asked him to follow me. "
"Thank you for your appreciation, boss."
Kakuzu did not feel ashamed, but felt proud to be recognized by Tetsuya.
After all, after looking at the account book, he realized that it was indeed possible to make money this way. A table of food could be equivalent to the money he earned from a mission. His perspective widened and his admiration for Tetsuya rose to a higher level.
If you go on a well paying mission yourself, you might lose a heart or two. Here, you don't have to worry about anything. Just sit back and wait to collect the money.
If Tetsuya knew what Kakuzu was thinking, he would just tell him.
This is normal. The life of rich people is unimaginable to ordinary people. There are certain situations where the money for one meal is enough for others to live a lifetime.
"By the way, why did you come back so soon? Have you finished watching the fun you wanted to see?"
Tetsuya also sat down beside him and poured himself a cup of tea.
"No, we went back too early. It's not time for the fun to happen yet."
"It's not time for fun yet? Have those people from the Kumogakure Village canceled their operation?"
"The operation is still in it's planning phase, it's far from execution. It seems that they are still collecting intelligence. At present, Konoha is undoubtedly the strongest among the five major ninja villages. If we take action, it will easily lead to direct retaliation from Konoha."
After the First World War, although no village gained any advantages, Konoha was the village that suffered the least . All the other Second Generation Kages were killed, but Konoha's was still alive and kicking.
Relying on the surviving Senju Tobirama, Konoha demanded a lot of compensation from the defeated villages to offset the consumption brought by the war and stabilize the development of the village.
Presently, Konoha remains the strongest and most powerful village among the five major ninja villages. In addition, Konoha also occupies a rich and fertile land like the Land of Fire, and its development is smooth sailing.
This however, aroused the jealousy and covetousness of other ninja villages.
"At least this trip to Konoha did not end in vain. I got some very exciting news."
"What news?"
Izuna cast a curious look at him. After all, since his resurrection, he had been either helping Tetsuya run his business or just idling away, leading a life like a salted fish.
As a proud Uchiha and a powerful ninja, he felt that such days were a bit boring.
Tetsuya grinned.
"I'm afraid a new Ninja World War is about to begin. I have a hunch that within three years at most, the Ninja World will be in a bloody turmoil."
When they heard about the Great Ninja War, the expressions of both Izuna and Kakuzu changed.
Kakuzu looked solemnly. As someone who participated the first ninja war, he knows best the cruelty of ninja war.
Izuna, on the other hand, is excited to fight. Although he is not a fighting maniac like his brother, fighting is a concept ingrained in any Uchiha's gene.
He had experienced the chaos of the Warring States Period, but at that time their battles were all based on family units.
Izuna is still very curious about the current village-based ninja war. He wants to experience the difference between the current war and the war of their Era.
"A prelude of a second Ninja World War? This is fascinating. Do we need to participate? In what situation? Which side are we on? Or should i assume that we are participating in the war as one camp alone against the five major ninja villages?"
Tetsuya and Kakuzu looked at Uchiha Izuna at the same time.
Kakuzu sighing in his heart, couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat. Is this Uchiha Izuna? He is really that guy's biological brother, just as batshit crazy too.
But Tetsuya slapped the table and shouted.
"Hey, who are you? You dare to posses Izuna's body, identify yourself!"
Seeing Tetsuya like this, Kakuzu thought that Izuna had really been taken away by someone.
Izuna rolled her eyes at Tetsuya, then showed his middle finger. These are all things he learned from Tetsuya over the years.
"Phew, I was scared to death. I thought you Uchiha Izuna had been taken away. What are you thingking, relying on just the three of us to handle all five great ninja villages? Do you regard yourself as your brother Uchiha Madara and me as Senju Hashirama?
Are you kidding me? I don't want to fight against the entire ninja world. "
Kakuzu on the side nodded in approval. He didn't want to just hang out with Chiba's boss and then immediately follow him to die.
"Then what do you plan on doing?"
Izuna asked curiously.
This guy just said excitedly that the Ninja World War was about to begin. Didn't he want to get involved in this war and become famous in the Ninja World?
Tetsuya smiled.
"We are businessmen. It's boring to fight and kill. What I want, of course, is to rely on war and earn a big fortune."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his thumb back and forth on his index and middle fingers.
Kakuzu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The boss has vision."
Besides doing business with high-ranking officials, what other business can bring in quick and big money?
Naturally, this is to make fortune in war.
"Hahahaha, stay low-key stay low-key."
He waved his hands and continued.
"The real question is, since we know before others that a war will break out in the near future, how should we use this information gap to make money."
Kakuzu said as he clapped his hands.
"Boss, I have a plan."
"Oh, do you have a plan? Tell me."
Kakuzu said very confidently.
"Hoard food. When a war breaks out, food is the fastest-rising commodity. As long as we hoard enough food, as soon as a war breaks out, what we hoard is not simply food, it is gold!"
