Konoha: This Sasuke is not too cold

The ninja world has been very lively recently, and the country of Whirlpool, which had been forgotten by people, has become active again and appears in everyone's eyes.

Several well-known rebel ninjas in the ninja world rebuilt a small town on the former site of Whirlpool Country, called the Lawless Zone.

At the beginning, the Ninja Village only paid a little attention and ignored it.

After all, except for the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Water, the other three major countries are too far away from the Kingdom of Whirlpool, and this matter has nothing to do with them.

However, three or four months after the outlaw zone was established, things got a little out of hand.

More and more rebellious ninjas are gathering towards the illegal zone, which makes several major ninja villages become vigilant.

However, no one wants to be the first to get into trouble.

The Kumo ninja, Iwa ninja, and Sand ninja are all far away from the illegal zone, and they are not worried that the illegal zone will affect them. Moreover, there are fewer rebellious ninjas wandering around the country, which is a good thing for them.

The Mist Ninja and Konoha were more embarrassed.

The Kiri Ninja is very weak now. Terumi Mei, who has just taken over, just wants to develop in peace and restore the Kiri Ninja's vitality, and does not want to cause trouble.

Although the illegal zone is not far from the Kingdom of Water, at least it is separated by a sea, so there is no need to worry too much.

But Konoha felt very uncomfortable. Although the Lawless Zone did not directly border the Country of Fire, it was close to the Country of Tea.

The Kingdom of Tea borders the Kingdom of Fire, but is cut off in the middle by the territory of the Kingdom of Fire and divided into two halves, Upper Tea and Lower Tea.

This place that cuts off the Kingdom of Tea is exactly the former site of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. The closest place between the two is only a mile or two of sea road.

There were fewer rebellious ninjas in other countries, but there were more rebellious ninjas in the Land of Fire. This made Hiruzen Sarutobi find it very difficult to do so.

Every move in Konoha is attracting attention now. He doesn't pay attention to a group of low-ranking rebellious ninjas, but those leaders are not easy to get along with.

Konoha is also surrounded by wolves now. As long as it shows a slight decline, it may be bitten by other ninja villages.

Of course, compared to the thoughts of the five major countries and the five major ninja villages, those small countries are much happier.

Most of the rebel ninjas are active in small countries, and they cause a lot of civilian casualties every year. Now they are better and quieter.

The establishment of the lawless zone was a carnival for rebellious and wandering ninjas.

The reason why they will respond positively is also very simple. No one likes to live a homeless life.

In the past, they had no choice. Even if they were willing to follow, those big figures among the rebel ninja would not look down on them.

But things are different now. A place where they can join a group to stay warm has appeared.

Although it is called a lawless zone, some unwritten rules have slowly been established.

For example, fighting is not allowed in towns, and the agricultural foundation of illegal areas is not allowed to be destroyed. After all, everyone also needs to eat.

In fact, except for a few people with abnormal brains, most ninjas are very satisfied with this kind of life.

It would be nice to farm the land or do some small business every day, and not have to live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

The illegal zone is improving little by little, developing quietly, and no other big news has been made. This makes the five great ninja villages breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time they can't help but become more vigilant.

After all, these guys are always uncertain factors for them.

"Kakuzu-sama, here are this month's financial statements."

Located on the east side of the illegal zone, it is on the top floor of a three-story building.

Kakuzu looked at the financial statements handed over by his subordinates and nodded with satisfaction.

Kakuzu's detonating charm business is doing pretty well, but that's not the point.

"How's the shipping project going?" Kakuzu closed the document and looked at the subordinate opposite him.

"Six shipping ships have been completed, the rest are still under construction, and three more are expected to be completed this month."

The subordinate answered seriously and did his duty.

"Yes, let them start to implement the plan. They will not contact the five major countries for the time being. The sailing route is set to a small country without a shinobi village. By the way, the country of Yu is also included in it."

Jade was very satisfied with this result. After taking a sip of tea, he seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "How was your contact with the Iron Country?"

"Mifune, the leader of the Iron Country, doesn't trust us," the subordinate said with some embarrassment.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Kakuzu chuckled and didn't care.

"The prerequisite for business often requires a good foundation of trust. In this way, you go to people to collect what materials are scarce in the Iron Kingdom, and ask people to prepare more and take them to the Iron Kingdom."

"I understand, Lord Kakuzu," the subordinate said respectfully.

"Go down"

After waving away his subordinates, Kakuzu sat back comfortably in the boss's chair, then picked up the financial statements on the table and opened them.

Looking at it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha! That's what it feels like! It's very good!"

This feeling of growing wealth makes Jiao very satisfied.

In the past few months, Xiaonan asked him to do a lot of things, and also taught Kakuzu a lot of principles, which made Kakuzu wake up.

Indeed, why should you be a person driven by money? Why not be the person who uses money to drive others!

Kakuzu realizes it again!

He is not stupid. As a ninja of the same era as Senju Hashirama, Kakuzu has more experience than most people in the ninja world.

Especially in business, he is extremely talented and can often draw inferences from one instance to another.

Kakuzu didn't care what Konan was plotting behind the others' backs.

At least in the past few months, this woman has allowed him to see a whole new side of the world and opened a new door for him.

That is not a bullshit plan with only one beautiful goal, but real truths and gains.

Based on this, Kakuzu approves of Xiaonan, at least compared to other people in the organization.

As for the tailed beast collection plan?Go ahead and play with eggs. What good can come from working hard? Can it be used as food?This is probably what Kakuzu really thinks in his heart.

After all, the current Kakuzu is no longer the rebellious ninja of Taki Ninja Village, the bounty hunter.

He is a rising star in lawlessness.

"This feeling is really wonderful." Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the crowded streets below, Kakuzu couldn't help but chuckle.
