After paying the money with a smile, Kakashi secretly remembered the area where the salesman in front of him was, and then left the area neatly, and then returned to the hotel where he stayed before.

This is a small city located in the south of the Country of Fire, and it is a commercial city that specializes in exporting wood. Naturally, it is also one of the cities with the best sales of new products such as chain saws, and Kakashi came here The reason is also very simple. He is doing an investigation-type A-level mission. The content is: investigating why Konoha's Raimaru suddenly became unnoticed.

"It seems that this new type of thunder pill from the Kingdom of Earth is the root cause."

Tossing the Thunder Pill Scroll up and down in his hand, Kakashi also felt a little bit pessimistic. He had visited several lumber-producing cities in the past few days, and the information he got was almost the same. Those lumberjacks They all still use chainsaws produced by Konoha, but Raimaru chose this cheap and easy-to-use foreign product.

And judging from the time, it started about half a month ago, but it swept through the entire wood industry city of the Fire Country at an almost lightning speed. If it was not premeditated, it can only be said that some The big forces are causing trouble. For example, the Iwagakure Ninja Village within the Earth Kingdom is one of the five major Ninja Villages along with Konoha.

After the investigation was clear, Kakashi also embarked on the return journey without stopping. The result was not optimistic, otherwise he would not have been assigned to investigate this situation.

The office building of the Hinata group is obviously very busy at the moment. In order to protect the elder Hinata who is in charge here, there are many more ANBU ninjas deployed downstairs. When Kakashi hurried back, he happened to catch up with a changing of the guard. Kakashi stopped in his tracks knowingly, planning to wait until the ninjas who were changing the guard were ready before entering.

"Huh? Kakashi-sensei? What are you doing standing here?"

However, it seemed that he didn't intend to keep Kakashi waiting for too long. Ino, who was holding a large pile of documents, happened to come down the stairs and instinctively froze when he saw Kakashi standing downstairs. The latter just raised his hand with a smile: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Ino has become beautiful again. I'm here to report on the mission. Are Shikamaru or Hinata here?"

"Well~! Really, Kakashi-sensei is not an outsider. Come to the office quickly. Hinata doesn't know what she is doing, but Shikamaru is here."

As the current senior secretary of the Hinata group, Ino obviously still has a lot of status here, and Kakashi did not continue to be pretentious. He nodded to the ninjas who were changing defenses around him and walked into the office building.

"Ah... Sure enough, something unexpected happened... And it seems to be the worst kind."

Soon, inside the office, Shikamaru let out a long sigh after listening to the situation report. The pineapple-headed boy glanced at Kakashi suspiciously, and his tone also sounded a little annoyed: "Speaking of which, why is it you who is executing this mission? It really shocked us."

Yes, although most of the government affairs are now handled by Hinata, Koharu and Mito Kaden are not doing nothing. These two old guys are in charge of a very important management at present, so It's a ninja dispatch for a mission. This time, it was indeed the Hinata team who submitted the investigation mission to Konoha, but it was two elders who sent Kakashi.

"What's wrong with this? As a teacher, it's reasonable to do things for your students."

Kakashi, who was holding a cup of strawberry tea, looked at Shikamaru with a smile. Apparently, he did not feel any sense of loss, but rather tolerated and proudly accepted the fact that he was driven by his former student.

"Ha, that's right. Among the people in Konoha Village who can independently complete the A-level exploration mission, you are indeed the best candidate."

Seeing that Kakashi didn't have any bad emotions, Shikamaru also breathed a sigh of relief. Pineapple Head returned his gaze to the investigation materials in front of him, and his tone became a little more distressed: "However, according to Kakashi, Judging from Teacher Nishi's investigation, I'm worried that Konoha's thunder pills may really not be sold. It just so happened that Hinata was still unhappy because of the insufficient production of thunder pills a few days ago. I don't know what she was doing now. Thoughts.”

"Well~ I hope she can solve these problems, right? After all, the disabled ninjas still need this job."

Kakashi nodded emotionally. Kakashi also knew the importance of the production of Raimaru to Konoha. Ninjas with sound hands and feet would naturally not be able to do this often, but those with physical disabilities could check it through contribution. Clari gets a better income at the Thunder Pill Factory. If the Thunder Pill Factory is forced to close, these former colleagues will lose their jobs again.

"Okay, I won't interrupt you anymore. I have an appointment to attend. Shikamaru, say hello to the others on my behalf."

Putting down the tea cup that he drank in seconds, Kakashi didn't intend to continue to worry. Instead, he nodded neatly and left the office. Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Shikamaru shook his head with a wry smile, and then looked weakly to the side. Ino spoke: "Well... report this situation to Hinata's mansion and tell Hinata that our Raimaru business is in big trouble..."

——————

"Well~ Judging from the business information, Konoha's Raimaru business is in big trouble."

Kakuzu's voice when reporting affairs always has the same sense of order. Although modal particles are obviously added, it still gives people a calculator-like texture.

"Oh? What's the trouble?"

Sitting around the large circular conference table are the images of the current members of the Akatsuki organization. Because the Raimaru Factory has just been built, it needs to be paid close attention to. The one who asked the question was Deidara, who was holding his cheek and looking bored.

"Is it because all the thunder pills are unsaleable? After all, the price of thunder pills sold in Earth Kingdom seems to be much cheaper than those in Konoha, but its durability has been improved. Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose."

Kisame still had the same smiling and teasing tone, but that was where he was scary. He could see the most fundamental development of the situation in his understatement.

"Hmph, that brat Onoki took the thunder pills we made and sold them to the Fire Country, and the price was nearly 30% higher than when he imported them from us. This business is really good."

Kakuzu's words this time finally had a bit of anger. Although the name he called the 79-year-old Onoki's "kid" was a bit embarrassing, it did not prevent him from understanding the dissatisfaction of the Finance Minister of the Akatsuki Organization.

"I've said it a long time ago, that guy Onoki has the kind of character that plucks out his hair. If you don't listen, can you blame me?"

Deidara excused himself angrily, but he couldn't bear the blame, after all, the original proposal was a mercury lamp.

"Don't worry, no one is going to accuse you. Moreover, our initial purpose is to spread the name of our thunder pills. The Earth Kingdom not only purchased a large number of our thunder pills, but also promoted them to the Fire Nation for free. This is the best thing for us.”

Mercury Lamp spoke lazily to appease the angry Deidara. To her, Onoki was simply a representative of a model customer. Not only did he buy it himself, but he also promoted it for free so that others could buy it. It would be really unethical to criticize him like this. .

"But, we can't do this. In the past half month alone, Iwagakure Village has purchased five thousand thunder pills from us, and basically dumped them all into the Kingdom of Fire. If we go directly If we sell to the Fire Country, we can at least recover more than 60% of the overall profits."

Kakuzu is still bitter about losing money, but as a person who doesn't understand business marketing, his pursuit of maximizing profits is really worthy of understanding.

"Anxin, our business itself is for the Land of Earth. Even if it is sold to others, do you think others will not change hands and make profits? So there is no need to worry, at least we already have a one-year business contract with Iwagakure Ninja Village , just focus on your business income first.”

After blowing the nails of his right hand, Mercury Lamp's rather lazy tone left Kakuzu speechless. After all, the initiator of this business was Mercury Lamp, and none of them dared to say that they could do this well without listening to Mercury Lamp. A business.

"That's right, mercury lamps are smart about this, so we'll just do what you say."

Payne also put an end to this debate in a timely manner, and then said calmly: "So, how did the other people's tailed beasts capture it?"

As a leader, Nagato is obviously very tolerant, and he also very smartly avoided the dispute with the mercury lamp over commercial command, and instead started asking about power.

"We have confirmed the traces of Wuwei, and we should be able to catch him within the next two days."

White Zetsu, who is in the same group as Kisame, finally found a way to increase his presence. Because White Zetsu's combat power is too weak, he is basically not counted as a combatant. The tough Kisame can still solve it.

"We have also found news about Nanao. Once we finish processing this order, we can get up and set off."

Kakuzu also spoke calmly. Although he is the Minister of Finance, the internal rules of the Akatsuki organization are that each group must complete the quota for tailed beasts. This is not only a test of everyone's strength, but also an unwritten personal proof.

"Then please continue to work hard. Once more tailed beasts are captured, we can almost consider selling thunder pills to other countries."

Mercury Lamp covered her mouth and smiled strangely, and her tone was also full of a feeling of unfinished meaning.

"I guarantee that there will be more and more places that need electricity."

(PS1: Wow, I’ve been chatting in the group for too long today~~I’ll update the second section after I fall asleep~~)

(PS2: It’s been 37 or 8 degrees every day these days... It feels almost half-baked...)

deadly bait

The nature of a businessman is treacherous and cunning, and Mercury Lamp has no intention of defending himself on this point. In her eyes, the so-called 'villages', 'organizations', and 'big names' are just different regional classifications. Therefore, she does not force Konoha to follow her own pace, because she knows very well that to achieve her goal, it is impossible to rely on one area alone.

Of course, this also involves her understanding of her own position. If she were still the ordinary person she was before who had no brains and plans, but was extremely weak on her own, then she would definitely not go against her own organization or village, because it would be difficult to guarantee her good death. The reason why she is a businessman is to give herself a better present and future, rather than focusing solely on making money.

Therefore, if it is the kind of situation where a sniper or a dagger may kill you, staying ‘loyal’ is a very important way to save your life.

But now, when this single body has become strong enough to ignore most attacks, her ambition has indeed grown to its fullest. She is no longer satisfied with making small troubles, but also has a vague sense of Arrogant sense of arrogance: As long as it is beneficial, as long as it can help one's own industry, as long as it can support one's own plans, then these things can be done.

Within four years of her arrival in this world, she had successively built these four places with different forces and different regions: Konoha Village, Wave Country, Rain Country, and Snow Country, and she was still not satisfied.

If you can do something that benefits you and you know nothing can stop you, why not keep doing it?

"Nidaime, that disciple of yours, Onoki, is indeed very clever. He is actually willing to buy these thunder pills in large quantities and make profits for himself while attacking Konoha. This kind of ability to kill two birds with one stone is rare."

Inside the Snow Ninja Village, Mercury Lamp, sitting with her knees crossed in front of the reception table, smiled brightly, and in front of her were the three shadows of her ancestors who were created by her to protect the Land of Snow. And the person she was praising was none other than the second-generation Tsuchikage Mu who was sitting there with an expressionless expression. This can be regarded as her handling of the political affairs within the Snow Ninja Village during this period. After hearing Mercury Lantern's praise of Ohnoki, the other two Kage sitting next to her clearly reacted. The second-generation Mizukage Kito Genzuki, who was considered a mortal enemy of Mutsu, had a look of displeasure and jealousy, while the third-generation Raikage also had a slight sense of envy.
