I became rich through business in the ninja world

Looking at the nameplate on the door that did not conceal the identity of the owner, Uchiha Obito fell into deep thought.

That is the rebel ninja Kakuzu who has survived from the first generation to the present.

Would he really run the office so openly?

...Maybe they set up a special game to trick those ninjas with bad minds.

Uchiha Obito disappeared.

Humph, you want to deceive him with such a trivial trick?

no way.

Yes, after a short period of thinking, Uchiha Obito decided that this 'office' was a scam.

After all...how could a bounty traitor reveal his identity so openly and even set up an office?

So he lurked, preparing to look for traces of Kakuzu from a deeper and more hidden place.

——It is also a little fun to take a look at the tragic fate of those idiots who fell into such an obvious trap.

Uchiha Obito was very satisfied with his wit.

In short, start by looking for the most hidden and difficult-to-access places.

I noticed the breath coming towards the door, pausing and then leaving.

Kakuzu shook his head - another idiot who thought he was smart.

He has seen too many people like this recently.

He really didn't understand these people.

If you don't give it to him, he will try his best to find it.

But if you tell it directly, they won't believe anything you say.

If this doesn’t work, then for those who don’t believe it, what do these people want?

He shook his head and continued to look at the financial statements on the table.

——Although he holds many positions, the position he originally applied for was a financial position. Kakuzu likes and values ​​this position very much.

Although it may seem strange, the reason why everyone has an office is really simple.

On the one hand, the financial office needs to be separated separately, on the other hand...

He sells other services.

In a financial important place, people can't always come and go, right?

So there is a situation where other financial workers (and related information) are in one office, while Kakuzu is in another office independently.

One is consulting services.

Whether it’s inside Ugetsu Store or outside Ugetsu Store.

As long as it does not involve the operation (making money) of Uzuki Store, he will provide consulting services without discrimination.

And corresponding fees will be charged according to the different information content.

It ranges from one or two thousand to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and there is no upper limit.

And both inside and outside.

Internally, if a new employee doesn't understand something, he or she needs to be given guidance on the process.

Externally, there are items that need to be known about the Ugetsu Store or information that can be leaked, or even some ninja-related information (mainly things he doesn't need).

There's nothing he doesn't buy.

The reason why Kakuzu integrated into Ugetsu Store so quickly was not only because of his strong strength, but also because it took him only a very short time to understand all aspects and products of Ugetsu Store.

From the functions of each department to the work process, to each product - what is on sale and not on sale, and even many of the processes, he has memorized and mastered it.

It can be called the ‘little encyclopedia’ of the Ugetsu branch of the Land of Waves.

This kind of ability can make people dissatisfied.

And it is precisely because of his omnipotence that many people who have questions about their work but are too embarrassed to ask directly, or who have some ideas about their work and want to improve will choose to seek "paid consultation" from him.

Isn't this just like everyone is studying but you secretly hired a tutor.

And another...

Of course it's a bounty.

The five major ninja villages have basically maintained their reconciliation, and some past bounties have also been reconciled.

Facing a rebellious ninja like Kakuzu who has no grudge against the Ninja Village alone (the Ninja Village he was born in can't bear to cause trouble for him) and is now working for the Ugetsu Store in a down-to-earth manner, he just turns a blind eye. Close one eye.

After all, I'm looking for trouble for Kakuzu.

But it's far less profitable than working for Ugetsu Store.

Anyone with a right mind would know how to choose between a traitorous ninja and the profits of an entire village.

Therefore, those who would come to the door were basically various wave ninjas or people who were rebel ninjas from other ninja villages.

Even if such a person dies, no Ninja Village-level forces will come to trouble him.

So this person who couldn't figure it out and had no backing became Kakuzu's 'extra money'.

Kakuzu is delighted.

He originally thought that he would have to find time to find these 'part-time jobs'.

Now it's great, I can make part-time money while sitting in the office.

Plus occasional consulting fees.

This is the time of one job to earn three times of money.

In addition to the project bonus - as long as you supervise and coordinate those people well and let them work hard, you will get another salary.

Ugetsu Store is really his paradise!

And Uchiha Obito is still conducting exploratory operations in the country of other waves.

In order to make a joke, he even changed his appearance, and then joined the chatting crowd to interrupt.

"That Kakuzu office..."

He originally just wanted to test it out.

If people didn't know, he would just leave.

If you knew--according to these people's habit of bragging and chatting, then they have to tell some relevant news, right?

Regardless of whether it is correct or not, as long as there is information, it can help make a judgment.

however……

"Mr. Kakuzu, that's a good man."

Hearing this, Uchiha Obito slowly raised a question mark in his heart.

wait, what did you say?

"Last time I went to see him in a place I didn't know how to go to, and he took the trouble to talk to me for twenty minutes."

Although it costs money, isn’t it common sense that it costs money to open a small stove?

"If you don't understand anything or have any information you want to ask, you can go to Mr. Kakuzu. He is there most of the day."

——Actually, most of the time, it’s the shadow clone that’s there, but ordinary people can’t tell the difference, so they always think it’s him.

Uchiha Obito's mind went blank for a moment.

Is the person you are talking about really the same person I know?

However, those people were still introducing enthusiastically:

"That's right, whether it's technical or other news, you can go to Mr. Kakudo."

“He’s really our jack-of-all-trades here.”

“Although it costs a little money, I guarantee it’s worth it!”

——It costs money.

That should be me.

But the more he thought about it, the more Uchiha Obito felt something was wrong.

Because the information he found about Kakuzu really all pointed to that office that seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

Just knock on the door, get in, pay, ask questions and get answers.

Where can it be so simple? ? ?

how is this possible.

This must be just an inning.

He left in a hurry, deciding to find someone in his own way.

In line with the principle of 'the more important it is, the more hidden it is, and the more it must be hidden with blinders', Obito Uchiha visited the shipyard of the Land of Waves.

To be precise, it's the 'research room'.

It is said that this is the most closely guarded place in the entire Kingdom of Waves.

There really is something, it should be hidden here.

He didn't believe that this was really a place for researching ships and other means of transportation in the ocean.

Why would a ninja, especially a famous ninja, focus on this?

impossible.

He must be doing other things under the guise of this name.

It's like they are 'Akatsuki'.

Whether it’s Yuyin Village or ‘Akatsuki’, aren’t they all trying to hide their true purpose and accomplish their goals?

So, Uchiha Obito went.

he avoided

He noticed the people coming and going, as well as the various offices on both sides of the corridor, and then... got into the vent.

How can someone who sneaks in secretly walk openly and openly?

Besides, which ninja would put the really important things out in the open.

So there must be a secret room or other hidden space here.

Corridors can be deceiving, spaces can be misplaced.

But if people don’t want to die inside, they will definitely install vents.

So going through the vents is the only option.

Uchiha Obito was full of confidence, especially when he discovered that the vents really had areas in other directions that could not be seen on the surface, he was even more excited.

Sure enough, my idea was correct.

If Kakuzu really cooperated with Ugetsu Shoten in the Land of Waves, then he must have been hidden here by Ugetsu Shoten!

Uchiha Obito became excited.

Yes, that's it. He is logical and clear.

How could it be...wrong?

He rushed over excitedly, and was forced back by the sudden appearance of a mechanism.

Although those mechanisms and methods seemed to be the work of the puppet master, he was more certain of his guess.

Kakuzu must be hidden here.

And these mechanisms were all installed to protect him, or to restrict him.

That was a ninja who had fought against the first generation before, so he couldn't take him too seriously.

It's only normal to specially ask the puppet master to do it.

——Besides, Ugetsu Store originally had puppet master employees, so they were put to good use.

Therefore, Uchiha Obito not only did not get discouraged, but also cheered up and started his invasion again.

The mechanism breaks through and the puppet is dismantled. Anyway, if it doesn't work, there is still 'divine power'.

In this way, he broke all the way under the vent located at the rear.

at last!

Uchiha Obito thought that after he went down, he would see Kakuzu's dark figure.

However, what appeared in front of him was...

"Wooden container?"

Placed in front of him were huge containers.

No, it's not so much a container, but a cabin made of wood?

Cabins of almost the same size are placed side by side in this huge space. In addition to the parts Uchiha Obito just saw, there are many other parts of different sizes and shapes placed in various areas.

Rather than saying this is a 'secret room' where Kakuzu is hidden, it is better to say that it is a 'workshop' specially used to make these things.

Uchiha Obito:......

"Where did this little thief come from?"

With the appearance of a low-pressure sound, everything in the 'workshop' started to move.

The workshop shook, and various holes began to appear in places that were originally empty.

Walls, floors, ceilings, all the mechanisms were activated - although the original function of these mechanisms was actually to make and assemble the Ocean Star.

But how can something from a puppet master, especially a top puppet master, only have one effect?

Anyway, no one has stipulated that the assembled mechanisms and props cannot have other functions.

Look, isn’t this useful?

Uchiha Obito's exposed eyes were wide open - this is not a 'workshop', it's just a huge machine room!

Even a ninja would be torn into pieces by this mechanism.

To be so vicious... As expected of Kakuzu who survived the first generation to this day.

Yes, until now, Uchiha Obito still thinks that this place has something to do with Kakuzu.

He even thought that this was a trap he set up to send the ninjas he found for bounties to hell.

Yes, this is very Kakuzu, very Kakuzu.

Uchiha Obito even came up with a self-consistent logic.

But he is here to cooperate with others, not to be an enemy.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito was anxious

Busy shouting:

"Mr. Kakuzu, I'm here to cooperate with you!"

scorpion:……?

What's wrong with you?

Why are you looking for Kakuzu and coming to my place?

Can’t you see such a big ‘Kakuto Office’?

Blind!

But even if he knew the other party's purpose, Xie had no intention of letting him go.

The situation of discovering that you broke into a confidential place and then someone shouted that you had misunderstood and then kindly showed you the way to end the matter. I'm afraid it doesn't only happen in dreams.

If you seek cooperation with Kakudu, what does it have to do with my Red Sand Scorpion?

It is a serious crime for you to break into my workshop without permission.

So Scorpio gave Uchiha Obito a hard beating.

Obito was even forced to use his "divine power" to escape with all his beards and tails.

There is no way, the entire workshop is controlled by Scorpion, which is equivalent to him being in a huge puppet controlled by the master.

...How to fight this?

Even if Uchiha Obito had the Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't dare to rely on it.

But in this way, he also recognized the true identity of the owner of this workshop.

‘Red Sand Scorpion’ - this was originally one of the members they planned to recruit. Originally, they thought that the Red Sand Scorpion would voluntarily leave Sand Hidden Village soon.

That's the best time for them to get in touch.

As a result, after waiting and waiting, there was no news of the Red Sand Scorpion's defection.

I thought about taking the initiative, but ended up being bombarded before I even said a few words to the person I found.

The kind that could break you into pieces if you take even one step slowly.

It's enough to see that the other party really doesn't show any affection at all.

Then there is no such thing as "leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other in the future".

Bring closure to your life today.

As a result, they could only sneak away in disgrace.

After all, things were really serious, and they didn't have the confidence to deal with an attack by an entire ninja village.

Later, Sunagakure Village made a lot of money.

It requires people (employed people are included) and resources. No matter how I thought about it, it was more attractive than their 'Akatsuki', so I gave up this plan.

I didn't expect to meet him again in this situation and in this place.

Uchiha Obito had no choice but to retreat first with the holes in his clothes.

After putting away the mechanism, Xie thought for two seconds, then opened the door and walked out.

He was the one who was attacked, suffered some losses, and needed more materials. Is this reasonable?

Besides, this man is here to see Kakuzu.

That rounding off is the trouble that Kakuzu brings.

Is it normal to pay compensation for the trouble you have caused?

The more Scorpion thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and his pace became a little faster.

He didn't have any objections to partnering with Kakuzu. Although this guy had a lot of things to do and pushed for progress when nothing was wrong, a capable partner was better than a waste.

It's just that this guy is really stingy.

The part that can be saved will not be spared, even if it is a coin.

That's a coin.

Scorpio hasn't handled such a small unit in many years, okay?

So even if the progress has been smooth all the way, and even if it is said that there may be a small profit (compared to the coordination work or the resources wasted by wastes), Scorpio will inevitably feel a little unhappy.

Now that the opportunity was given to him, how could he not take a little 'revenge'?

So Scorpio approached Jiaodu, who was mentally calculating how much money he had earned recently and whether he should increase his prices appropriately.

Jiaodu:?

"Impossible, your application was not approved."

Why do you want to cooperate with me?

If you say you want to cooperate with me, do I have to cooperate with you?

"Besides, it's too arbitrary to conclude that we have a relationship just because he said he wants to cooperate with me - if I can find out now that the other party actually wants to cooperate with you, wouldn't it also have a relationship with you?"

Scorpion blinked:

"but

He didn't say that. "

"He didn't say it. Who knows if that's what he was thinking? Maybe he wanted to cooperate with you at first, but was frightened by your brutal attack and gave up temporarily?"

In short, it is impossible to get him to pay.

Impossible in this life.

As long as he still has a breath of life, he cannot allow any expenditure to be wasted.

Not even a coin will do.

Scorpion snorted angrily.

——He knew that this iron cock would not let go.

"You don't need to report anything else. The damaged mechanisms and bearings must be replaced - these are necessities in the construction process of Ocean Star."

"……understood."

Although Kakuzu is proficient in various technologies, when it comes to puppetry, or the technology to build the Ocean Star, he can only understand the blueprints. Those precision instruments specially made by Scorpion... are difficult to judge.

Of course he wanted to question it, but considering the cost that the delayed construction period would cost Ugetsu Store (and him) if it was true, he could only choose to give in.

I painfully approved the note for the repair fee.

At the same time, he also recorded an account for the guy who had never been masked before.

What kind of cooperation is it? If you make him lose a sum of money before we even talk about it, if you don't make up for it, don't blame him for taking it himself!

Uchiha Obito, who was hiding, suddenly felt a chill.

The unexplainable cold made him rub his arms.

He really felt that this place was against him, otherwise what would happen if he didn't get anything done after he came here, and he would have been beaten first.

...Although he was not actually injured, he was held down and beaten as soon as he spoke. Who would be happy about this?

But even if such a problem occurred, Uchiha Obito was not discouraged.

Finding the Red Sand Scorpion's workshop proved that there really was a 'secret place' here. He just had bad luck this time, and he didn't have the help of Black Zetsu.

Next time you find a place like this, it must be Kakuzu's hiding place!

Yes, that must be the case!

Uchiha Obito, keep up the good work!

On the other side, the photo studio Yuyue plans to acquire and the makeup artists they are recruiting are also looking forward to it.

If all goes well, it will all be in place next month.

So for Ugetsu, the next task is mainly to take pictures of the scenic spots - Sand Hidden Village and Sea Paradise. There are also improvements in cameras and makeup.

Although in modern times, people usually go to specialized styling studios rather than practice in person, Ugyuki still has some impressions of some techniques or principles.

When the time comes, I'll find some experienced people to come back and figure it out, and it shouldn't be a big problem.

So the big head is mainly about the improvement of the camera.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a little more expensive in the early days.

The first target users of these improved products are not ordinary people, but are specifically for aristocratic plutocrats who have higher requirements or needs.

And this group is famous for only looking at the results and not the price.

The sky-high prices for ordinary people are just ordinary in their eyes.

Plus freshness.

The more expensive the better, the more expensive it is, the more it meets their needs.

So Ugetsu is not worried that it will be expensive.

The same goes for later stages.

When technological innovations occur and old technologies can be mass-produced to lower prices, the previous products can be enjoyed by the public. The aristocratic chaebols also have 20/30 and other new products to use.

Isn’t this also true for cameras in modern society?

Ordinary people can buy the camera they want for one to two thousand or three to five thousand.

Rich people also have hundreds of thousands of cameras and lenses to choose from.

It's totally possible to have a ninja world.

To bring happiness to the people, and to give the aristocrats and wealthy people better quality enjoyment that is more in line with their status.

very perfect.

And this improvement task, after a lot of twists and turns, finally fell into the hands of Chiyo.

Chiyo, who was living leisurely, slowly raised a question mark.

——I am proficient in puppets, and I also have some attainments in mechanisms and equipment.

But that has nothing to do with the camera.

Chiyo tried to explain, hoping that Miss Ugetsu would understand.

Improvements in cameras are not the same thing as puppetry. Although there is some connection, the directions are completely different.

It doesn't mean that just because she knows puppetry, she can definitely do it.

However, before she could explain, the two children beside Yuyue.

Kabuto Yakushi and Shiro both came over.

The two young men with red lips and white teeth, each with their own characteristics, looked at him with anticipation, admiration and admiration.

"How, how..."

"Chiyo-sama, it must be possible!"

"That's right, such a trivial matter will definitely not be a problem for Chiyo-sama!"

"Chiyo-sama is the one who taught Dezhi-sama, how could it not be possible?"

"Chiyo-sama is indeed a powerful ninja who is famous in the five great ninja villages!"

The two of them sang in harmony to silence Chiyo's words.

——You have finished talking about the good and the bad, so what else can I say?

Unless Chiyo can save face and directly destroy it.

‘Can’t’, ‘can’t’, ‘can’t’.

But for ninjas, heads and blood have always been cut off, and face cannot be lost.

She could only swallow all her previous words back in her stomach.

"I see."

Now that things have come to this, where is the chance to say that she ‘can’t do it’?

Leave it to Miss Ugetsu.

Her eyes swept over Yakushi Kabuto and Shiro's face.

The two cute boys with their own characteristics were still looking at him with bright expressions.

Noticing her gaze, they continued to praise:

"Chiyo-sama is so kind!"

"I knew Chiyo-sama would be able to do it!"

"It would be great if I could be as powerful as Chiyo-sama."

——Even if you know this is a sugar-coated bullet.

But who can refuse the plea of ​​such a cute boy?

Although she didn't know the existence of the "Pretty Boy Trap", Chiyo had already felt the horror of the "Pretty Boy Trap".

Therefore, the matter of 'seduction' is really feasible for both men and women, young and old.

After this set of procedures, Yuyue nodded.

Yes, these two are really good.

In addition to your own job, you can also take advantage of your appearance to act.

When I grew up, I was the mainstay of Ugetsu Store.

Ugetsu is really looking forward to their future more and more.

Speaking of children,

"Speaking of which, what happened to the kid who volunteered?"

"He is still staying in the Kingdom of Water to receive basic education... After completing basic studies, he should first go to Kakuzu-sama for an internship."

Uchiha Shisui quickly called up the relevant information about ‘Taketori Kimimaro’.

"That's okay, let him do some light work first to recuperate his body."

Thinking of the thin appearance of the young man when he came, Ugetsu sighed.

Although there are many underage employees here, they all eat well, sleep well, and are kept smooth by her.

Nothing like that child.

"Let's wait for a while to get used to it and then start rotating."

Ugetsu made arrangements for Taketori Kimimaro.

On the other side, a white-haired and fair-skinned boy, also wearing the uniform of Ugetsu Store, stood between Kakuzu and the masked man.

"The Taketori clan..."

"Now that you know it, let's capture him without any hesitation."

This is Taketori Kimimaro's first job, and he values ​​it very much.

The young man stared at the man opposite him, ready to suppress him if he made any rash move.

"That won't work."

The masked man laughed.

"I still have things to do - Mr. Kakuzu, can we get started?"

Although he responded to the boy's words, the masked man obviously didn't take him to heart. Instead, he just stared at Kakuzu who was behind him.

Kakuzu tilted his head indifferently.

"Let's talk about anything."

"That……"

Uchiha Obito was overjoyed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again.

"and many more!"

"……what?"

His only exposed eyes showed a bit of confusion.

What on earth do you want to do?

"Before we talk, please settle the bill with me."

???

Uchiha Obito was confused.

What have I done to pay the bill?

I haven't even finished speaking.

"Also, there is a fee for answering."

Kakuzu said quickly without any stumbling:

"Because it's your first time, I can give you a 9.10% discount - the specific price will be determined based on the problem. If you accept it, just tell me."
