Konoha, I have the Herrscher of the End core in my body.

"You're still a little young, never mind, I'll just make it myself."

Looking at the Akatsuki uniform in his hand, Naruto shook his head gently and threw it aside. Because of his age, even the smallest size of Akatsuki uniform was a bit too big for him. After all, when Konan was ordering the uniform, she had never thought that a teenager would join in.

But who can blame Naruto for having the power of the Herrscher of Reason? He was able to easily replicate a well-fitting Akatsuki uniform. And because it was made using Honkai energy, its defensive power was not comparable to that of an ordinary Akatsuki uniform.

"If I had worn this at a comic convention in my previous life, it would have definitely attracted the most attention."

"Everyone is finally here."

On the steel tower of Rain Village, Naruto nodded slightly as he looked at the two figures, Kakuzu and Hidan, who were slowly walking towards this side. These two were the last people to arrive. The reason why Kakuzu came the latest was very simple. When he and Hidan received the notice, they were chasing a Jonin with a bounty of 20 million. For Kakuzu, he would naturally not give up the opportunity to make money.

"Senior Kakuzu, you're finally here." Seeing Kakuzu and Hidan walking into the conference room, Deidara couldn't help but shout out immediately. Kakuzu arrived two days later than him, which made him a little impatient.

"I'm very busy." Kakuzu said as he and Hidan walked to the nearest empty seat and sat down, then glanced at the people present.

This was the first time that all members of Akatsuki met in their true form. Normally, they would meet through the Phantom Body Technique.

"I don't know why the leader called us together this time." Deidara spoke immediately after seeing Kakuzu and Hidan arrive.

Among all the people present, Deidara was the most lively, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him, including his partner Scorpion. Scorpion was the only one present who did not reveal his true form, even now he was still hiding inside his mechanical puppet.

"I'm telling you, aren't you curious?" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Deidara immediately continued unwillingly.

"Hello, seniors." Just when Deidara was feeling a little frustrated because no one was paying attention to him, Naruto walked in wearing an Akatsuki uniform. After smiling and waving at everyone, he immediately sat in the first seat on the left.

"You're the new guy, that ring, Orochimaru, hey, how did you get this ring."

Seeing Naruto suddenly appear, Deidara immediately greeted him with a smile, but after seeing the ring in his hand, he couldn't help but stand up. In the Akatsuki organization, Deidara and Sasori's mission is to hunt down the defected Orochimaru. After being fooled by him several times, Deidara is now very unhappy with Orochimaru. After seeing that Naruto has Orochimaru's ring, he couldn't help himself.

"There is actually someone who can kill Orochimaru. By the way, is his body still there? I remember that his bounty is very high." Kakuzu, who had been silent, couldn't help but speak at this time. The bounty for Orochimaru in the underground black market was very high, which was not comparable to that of Sarutobi, Asuma, Jiriku and others. It was only worth a small target.

There are quite a few people in the underground black industry with bounties exceeding tens of millions, but the problem is that these people are scattered in different places, and some are even directly in the five major ninja villages. Even Kakuzu cannot rush directly into the five major ninja villages to capture people in exchange for bounties.

While others were surprised that Naruto, a newcomer, possessed Orochimaru's ring, Itachi immediately frowned after seeing Naruto.

"I'm sorry, Senior Kakuzu, I traded this ring from Orochimaru, but I didn't get it by killing him." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the ring in his hand except Itachi and Kisame, Naruto immediately explained with a smile.

"The leader has arrived."

Just when Kakuzu was about to say something, Konan came out with Nagato, and everyone present immediately withdrew their gazes. Nagato had a very high prestige in the Akatsuki organization. Even the most rebellious Deidara, and Hidan, who only wanted to sacrifice the evil god, did not dare to act presumptuously in front of him.

The reason why Nagato has such a high prestige is naturally not because he is so respected in the Akatsuki organization, but because he possesses the Rinnegan and has absolute power.

Kakuzu joined the group after being defeated by Nagato with absolute strength. To Akatsuki and other S-rank rebel ninjas, strength is the basis of their respect.

"Hey, who are you?" Deidara, who had been silent, couldn't help but shout after seeing Nagato's appearance. For people like Akatsuki, the leader of Akatsuki they had seen was just Tendo Pain. It was the first time that Nagato and his friends had seen him. Naturally, everyone present noticed this situation, but they were all very calm and did not speak at the first time until Deidara jumped out to question him.

"This is the real leader of Akatsuki." Konan, who was standing behind Nagato, said seriously.

"So the ones before were just puppets? Then, leader, you called us here this time and revealed your true identity. What do you want to do?" Kakuzu did not bother about Pain and Nagato, but asked directly about Nagato's purpose of summoning them this time.

Nagato possesses the Rinnegan, which is the biggest proof that he is the leader of the Akatsuki organization. No one else can pretend to be this. After hearing what Kakuzu said, Deidara also shut up. Although he was recruited into Akatsuki by Itachi, after joining Akatsuki, he also provoked Pain and was then suppressed.

Although Deidara's ninjutsu was powerful and he could fly, when he encountered the Rinnegan, he was pulled down by the Tenshin Impact.

"The reason I called you here this time is because Akatsuki is going to officially start the next plan, but before that, let me introduce the new members first." Nagato said in a deep voice.

"Hello everyone, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the so-called Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I haven't done anything big. I just caused a big disturbance in Konoha and killed the Fourth Raikage of the Cloud Village." Naruto introduced his achievements with a smile on his face.

"Uzumaki Naruto." After hearing Naruto's self-introduction, everyone present once again focused their attention on Naruto. Everyone present was naturally aware of Uzumaki Naruto's recent fame in the ninja world, but what they had never expected was that such a person would be a seemingly harmless boy.

However, even though he was a teenager, no one present challenged him. After all, he was a ruthless man who was able to kill the Fourth Raikage. The Kage of the five major ninja villages could be said to be the strongest existence in the ninja world.

"The next step is Akatsuki's next plan, to unify the ninja world." After Naruto finished his self-introduction, Nagato immediately stated the purpose of gathering everyone.

Originally, Xiao's goal was divided into three steps. The first was to accumulate a large amount of money in preparation for the future. No matter what he did, money was very important.

The second step is to establish a mercenary organization that is not inferior to any country, prove the strength of the mercenaries by provoking some wars, slowly monopolize the war, and break the ninja system of the major ninja villages. Although this sounds incredible, after all, how can war be monopolized by people?

But in fact, it is very feasible. The five major ninja villages now actually monopolize the wars of the five major countries and let the five major countries allocate funds to them.

For the five major countries, there is no difference between giving money to the five major ninja villages and giving money to a mercenary organization that does not belong to any country. Even in Naruto's previous life, there were mercenary wars, and some countries even had armies and prisons that could be privately contracted. What's more, in the ninja world, mercenaries are too convenient. After all, as long as you pay a sum of money, you can leave them alone.

The third step of Akatsuki is to capture the nine tailed beasts, turn them into weapons and intimidate major countries. This is equivalent to the nuclear deterrence in the previous life. Any country that starts a war will be destroyed by using the tailed beasts. In this way, naturally no country will start a war. This is the original method that Nagato used to bring peace to the ninja world.

As for the Infinite Tsukuyomi, that was the plan of Obito and Uchiha Madara, not Nagato's plan. Nagato was not aware of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan from beginning to end.

"Unifying the ninja world, leader, this is probably not an easy thing to do." Deidara spoke first again.

"No, it's very simple. The five great ninja villages have always been able to stand at the top of the ninja world because of their absolute strength. But now the absolute power is on our side. Whether it's me or Uzumaki Naruto, we have the strength to destroy any of the five great ninja villages."

As long as you have enough power, many things will become simple, whether it is the previous cooperation with Orochimaru or the current unification of the ninja world.

If Naruto doesn't have enough strength, even if he can tell Orochimaru the deepest secrets of the ninja world, Orochimaru will not compromise so easily.

The members of Akatsuki are different from Nagato. Naruto can discuss his ideals for peace in the ninja world with Nagato, Konan, Sasuke, and Zabuza, but to the people of Akatsuki, saying these things to them is like talking to a cow. Except for Kisame, the others don't care at all whether there is peace in the ninja world. As for Itachi, he only cares about the peace of Konoha, not to mention other ninja villages, he may not care much even about the Land of Fire.

The simplest way to deal with them is to suppress them with force and make them obey your orders.

Nagato's words made Deidara speechless immediately. He was still unsure about Nagato's strength, but Naruto's record was real. If he asked himself, neither Konoha nor the Cloud Village could stop him, and the same was true for the Iwagakure.

"What good will it do us to unify the ninja world?" Kakuzu suddenly said. In his opinion, unifying the ninja world was simply a waste of time. Instead of using that time, they would be better off catching more wanted criminals and getting the bounty.

"Kakuzu-senpai, unifying the ninja world will bring huge benefits. Let me ask, who do you think is the richest person in the ninja world, Kakuzu-senpai?"

Naruto immediately spoke to Kakuzu, and this question immediately stumped Kakuzu, as he really didn't know who was the richest person in the ninja world.

"Do you know?" Jiaozu asked after being silent for a moment.

"Of course it's the Daimyo of the Five Great Countries, Kakuzu-senpai. I know you've been working hard to catch bounty-bearing criminals, but no matter how many you catch, you can never be richer than the Daimyo. Do you know why the Daimyo are so rich? It's because of the taxes they collect."

Even though a ninja's mission could be worth hundreds of thousands or millions of taels, such missions are extremely rare. Even a ninja of Kakashi's level would not receive many missions worth millions of taels in a year. But it is different with taxes.

"Instead of working hard to catch bounty criminals or do missions to make money, why can't we use the power to collect taxes? In this way, even if we sit at home, we will have a lot of money coming in every day. If we unify the ninja world and collect taxes from the entire ninja world, the amount of money we will get every day will be at least hundreds of millions."

Naruto's words immediately made Kakuzu's eyes light up. He had never thought that there was such a way to make money. After careful consideration, he had to admit that what Naruto said made a lot of sense. In order to catch a bounty criminal, he had to track him for a long time without sleep. How could it compare to the feeling of sitting at home and earning a lot of money?

Kakuzu likes money, not because he is extravagant, but simply because he likes the feeling of making money. The money he works hard to earn is not for himself, but for the funding of Akatsuki. It can be said that Akatsuki has no worries about funding, and Kakuzu's contribution is enormous.

Even though other people also have tasks to earn funds, they just do the tasks. But people like Kakuzu never miss any opportunity to earn extra money when doing tasks.

For example, Jiriku of the Fire Temple and Asuma Sarutobi in the original work are actually content outside of work. Members like Kakuzu can be said to be very much liked by most organizations.

In the previous life, when Konan took out 600 billion Exploding Talismans, a rumor was spread that Konan had used all the money Kakuzu earned to buy Exploding Talismans.

In Naruto's opinion, Kakuzu's personality makes him very suitable to be the future Minister of Finance. If anyone dares to evade taxes, he will have to face Kakuzu.

"Deidara-senpai, have you ever considered becoming a movie star? This way, more people will recognize your art."

Seeing Kakuzu falling into deep thought because of his words, Naruto immediately looked at Deidara. Deidara, who originally had no interest in unifying the ninja world, immediately became interested after hearing that his art could make people recognize him.

Naruto then explained to him the benefits of being a movie star, especially after unifying the ninja world, he could make everyone in the ninja world recognize his art. Although he was just fooling around, Deidara was as tempted as Kakuzu.

Becoming a movie star is something Deidara has never thought of, but with Naruto's persuasion, the future superstar is about to be born.

"Senior Scorpion, have you ever thought about making puppets exist forever?" After dealing with Deidara, Naruto turned his target to Scorpion. Unlike Deidara who pursued momentary beauty, Scorpion pursued eternal beauty and even transformed his body into a puppet for this purpose. In his previous life, there was a saying that flesh and blood are weak, while machines can ascend.

To be honest, if Scorpion lived to the time of Boruto, he would definitely be able to find like-minded friends, as there were quite a few cyborgs in that period.

"Senior Hidan." Relying on his understanding of the Akatsuki members, Naruto was able to successfully fool them with his words.

"It turns out that people have misunderstood the Akatsuki organization. Look at the three ninjas of Konoha, they are basically prostitution, gambling and drug addicts. Look at these people in Akatsuki."

The ten members of Akatsuki all have their own ideals and are willing to sacrifice their lives for their ideals and causes. These ideals are peace, art, friendship, family, faith, childhood, money, domination, power, and love, which are much nobler than pornography, gambling, and drugs.
