Chapter 2 Kakuzu: The Economic God Has Arrived
Lord Pain, after you and Lord Angel left, Amegakure no longer had the right to speak with the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
The Seventh Hokage's promise to develop Amegakure has never been fulfilled!
He simply mentioned it to others, and the Five Great Ninja Villages gave us a chance to make money—to deal with the garbage they generated from their development, all sorts of toxic, harmful, and unmanageable waste!
The Land of Rain is now filled with poisonous gas, and even the rainwater is corrosive.
Some of our people once tried to go to Konoha to question them, but they were immediately kicked out.
Konoha never considered Amegakure a friend. They believed that it was the Seventh Hokage who saved and resurrected their elders and families, and that it had nothing to do with Lord Pain. Lord Pain, you are just a defeated man...
Nagato was completely baffled by much of the letter's contents.
For example, who was the Seventh Hokage? And why did he cooperate with him?
But Nagato still managed to figure out what had happened overall.
Keyword: [Resurrection].
Since there is [resurrection], it must be his reincarnation technique.
It's hard to believe that he would sacrifice his life to revive the people of Konoha?
Will choosing to believe in someone from Konoha help Amegakure develop?
After looking at the photos of the future Amegakure taken by Bai Mo again, Nagato chose to believe.
"Did we fail? Or will I succeed as long as I remain unaffected by that Konoha ninja...?"
Nagato clutched her head, deep in thought, before finally looking up at Bai Mo: "What is your purpose?"
Nagato has a unique personality; he can make his own decisions, but all the specific options are given to him by others.
At first, it was Yahiko who gave him the options, then it was Jiraiya who gave him the options, and then it was Naruto who gave him the options.
Just as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui made decisive moves, you can't say that Du Ruhui lacked his own opinions.
The same applies now. Nagato is facing "inevitable failure" and doesn't know how to change it, so he decides to consult with Bai Mo, the leader of Amegakure from the future.
"I want to become Akatsuki's strategist and advisor, making decisions about the development of Akatsuki and Amegakure."
Bai Mo speaks frankly.
"...It's fine to let you make decisions about Amegakure, as long as we both trust your decisions. But Akatsuki... Akatsuki members are hard to follow your orders."
Xiao Nan poured cold water on Bai Mo's enthusiasm.
"Are there any gatherings recently?"
Bai Mo smiled and asked Xiao Nan a question.
"What?"
Xiao Nan frowned.
a few days later.
In a cave outside Amegakure village, surrounded by protective barriers, all the members of the Akatsuki organization gathered.
However, there are two fewer people.
Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki.
Bai Mo told Nagato that Uchiha Itachi was a spy sent by Konoha.
Tell Nagato not to come to this gathering, whether he believes it or not. Just leave the rest to him.
It would be too obvious not to let Itachi Uchiha come alone, so it's better to give Itachi and Kisame a mission to gather intelligence on Konoha.
This gives Itachi a chance to go back and visit, and I doubt he'll refuse.
"Where are Itachi and Kisame? Could they have been killed? And is this a new member?"
Hidan stood there casually, pointing at the only unfamiliar face, Bai Mo.
"Zhuque and Nandou have other missions. This is Bai Mo, who has come to apply for the position of strategist for Xiao."
Payne was positioned on a high platform, and his voice echoed throughout the cave.
"What?! I don't need any strategist to tell me what to do!"
Upon hearing this, Hidan immediately cried out, then drew his scythe from his back and pointed it at Bai Mo, "Hey, kid, believe it or not, I'll sacrifice you to the Jashin right now!"
The other Akatsuki members watched coldly and remained silent.
They shared the same idea and did not want any strategist to command them.
As Xiao Nan said before, the members of Akatsuki were all prodigies and rogue ninjas, and could not meet Bai Mo's requirements at all.
"I wonder who is in charge of the economy at Xiaozhong?"
Bai Mo ignored Hidan's words, set up a small blackboard, and covered it with a piece of paper.
What exactly is the economy?
Hidan was puzzled.
"It's all about money, you idiot."
Kakuzu glanced at his foolish teammate and spoke in a low voice.
Then, Kakuzu's gaze was drawn to the contents of the white paper on the white ink blackboard.
"Under the leadership of the previous leader, Hanzo the Salamander, Amegakure has achieved a great deal of development in steam-powered mechanization."
Although the ninjas of Amegakure are not particularly strong, these machines can completely replace human labor, constructing and producing various light industrial consumer goods, which can then be sold to the Five Great Nations, earning a large amount of money.
"If there are problems with the initial funding, we happen to have some hidden information here."
Gato, a wealthy man from the Land of Waves, has seized a bridge built with funds raised by the people. The people want to hire ninjas to deal with Gato, but they have no money.
To this end, they even came up with a way to conceal the difficulty of the mission and try to lower the mission reward to hire ninjas.
Xiao could easily accept the task; they could just give her a symbolic reward of one or two taels.
If possible, we could even establish a long-term partnership with the Land of Waves.
The Land of Waves is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water, making it a strategically important location on both land and sea.
If the Land of Water is to develop in the future, it will inevitably need to pass through the Land of Waves to reach the mainland; otherwise, it will have to take a long detour, which would be a loss.
Occupying this place will also bring in a steady and substantial income.
Bai Mo pointed to the white paper on the blackboard as he explained.
Kakuzu's eyes shone brighter as he listened.
Bai Mo's plan was perfectly feasible, and the fact that he could use those "professional terms" so easily showed that he was indeed a skilled expert!
"Hey, Kakuzu, hey! Don't be fooled by him!"
Hidan noticed that Kakuzu was completely engrossed in it and hurriedly ran to Kakuzu and waved.
Seeing no reaction whatsoever, Hidan glared fiercely at Bai Mo: "So what if you can make money? What right do you have to order us around in other areas?"
"The leader's strategy is to collect the nine tailed beasts to create a deterrent and establish peace under pressure."
This plan is on the right track and there are no problems. It's much more reliable than relying on love to maintain peace.
However, this plan has some flaws.
We'll talk about the flaws later.
Based on this deterrence theory, I have a plan here that is infinitely easier than collecting the tailed beasts, yet the effect is not much different.
Bai Mo once again ignored Hidan's words.
"Oh? What plan?"
Even Payne became interested when Bai Mo spoke up this time.
These past few days, Bai Mo only talked to Nagato and Konan about the future of Amegakure, without mentioning anything else.
They also told Bai Mo the current year.
In Konoha's calendar, it's Konoha Year 60, which happens to be "the most crucial year in the original work."
The theft of the Book of Seals, the Land of Waves, the Land of Snow, the Chunin Exams, Sasuke's defection, and so on all occurred around this time.
"For this plan to remain effective, the three machines must be sent out, but he must not know about it."
Bai Mo spoke softly.
"What?! Why should I leave?! You're taking revenge for someone else, aren't you?!"
Hidan instantly became enraged.
He's now really curious about Bai Mo, but he's not being allowed to find out?
bass--
Hidan's scythe flew past Bai Mo, who caught the handle and threw it back.
"Um?"
Kakuzu glanced sideways as he saw Bai Mo catch Hidan's rapidly spinning scythe and throw it back.
Being able to do this means that one has reached a certain level in terms of physical skills and reaction ability.
After throwing away the sickle, Bai Mo patted his sleeves:
"I'm not doing this to settle a personal score. Also, you need to practice your taijutsu and brains more, or you might get taken down by a Chunin."
"You! &*￥#"
