I became rich through business in the ninja world

Jiraiya's eyes widened.

Jiraiya took a step back.

He was greatly shocked - forget about his own people, how could this guy not even let go of the applicants?

Ten thousand words flashed through Jiraiya's mind, but he didn't know where to start.

"What are you still doing?"

Seeing that Jiraiya hadn't moved, Orochimaru scolded him coldly.

"……Oh."

Jiraiya gave up thinking, took the exam papers and walked towards the hall where the candidates were.

He now understood why there were so many benches around the hall.

It was meant to be here.

As for taking advantage of candidates but not taking advantage of them...it's not my turn to worry about it.

Zilai also pouted.

He can't protect himself, so how can he find the time to worry about others?

It’s better to think about how you can escape from these people’s horrible working hours.

Jiraiya felt that he could already foresee what kind of future he would face if these people were really as 'hard-working' as they said.

Hell, that is hell!

But after thinking about it, the papers still have to be handed out first.

——To be honest, Jiraiya himself also wanted to know the truth about the 'Moon Man' shown in the ruins.

No matter those people were originally from the moon, or they went to the moon from the planet they lived on.

To them at this time, it was like a new world.

Having said that, if there was really someone on the moon, would he have to set up some twists for the villains of "Young Heroes"?

After all, no one would like to be written as a villain.

It would be bad if things go wrong and a conflict and crisis arise between the two forces...

With his mind full of fantastic ideas, Jiraiya handed out all the test papers in his hand.

Everything went smoothly, except that when the message was sent to a young man in the corner, he shrank back as if he was afraid.

But Jiraiya was too busy thinking about the Moon Man to pay attention.

I just felt that the other person might be scared, so I gave some encouragement and went to the next person to continue handing out papers. He didn't notice at all that after he left, the inconspicuous young man huddled in the corner breathed a sigh of relief.

The 'boy' in the corner - Nagato breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it doesn't mean that we can't meet.

But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had better not get to know the 'teacher'.

After all, I am a good teacher, but my way of thinking and approach are always too outrageous... No one can guess what he will do in the next second.

The purpose of Nagato's coming here is to make money "quietly", so naturally he must avoid all meaningless extraneous matters.

After Jiraiya left, Nagato began to concentrate on reading the questions.

His expression was a little relaxed at first, but as the questions continued to come into view, his expression changed from relaxed and unconcerned at the beginning to serious and nervous later on.

This question...

There are experts at Yuyue Store.

Although people say that the 'answer' is the most important and the place where strength can best be shown.

But in fact, the ‘title’ is equally important.

He can not only test the candidates, but also show the strength of the question maker.

The paper in front of me not only tests a wide range of knowledge, but also controls the difficulty quite well.

From easy to deep, from simple to difficult, it can be said to be quite comprehensive.

Especially the last question.

Not to mention being able to do it, I'm afraid most ninjas in this era can't even read the questions.

Nagato originally felt that although he had not studied the orthodox sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, so many years of exploration and practice had allowed him to accumulate quite a wealth of experience and insights.

But after seeing this question, he realized that there are still people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world.

He calmed down and studied every word.

I saw that the candidates were all immersed in the exam questions and kept

Ugetsu, who was watching from the most secluded place, showed a satisfied expression.

"In this case, it should be a matter of time before the sealing technique in the ruins is cracked."

No, judging from the fact that ninjas always surprise people, they might be able to decipher it faster than expected.

Yuyue made the voice of Versailles:

"I just don't know how long the difference between the upper limit of the moon project and "Ninja Survival" is - if they really collide, they may be too busy."

Uchiha Shisui thought this was not a problem.

"By that time, more talents should join in."

——It’s hard to say anything else. In the moon project, all the ninja villages must have a hand in it.

If it can be proven that the 'Moon Man' is related to the Byakugan, then the Hyuga clan will definitely not stand idly by.

When the time comes, they will do whatever it takes to get a spot (or more spots), even if it's for Byakugan's secret.

As a family famous for their eye skills, Uchiha Shisui could understand the situation of the Hyuga clan from their own heart.

Therefore, there will never be a shortage of manpower to explore the moon in a short time.

Uchiha Shisui blinked.

If you follow Ugetsu Store's usual practice.

Maybe they have to go through some... um, some campaigning to get this opportunity?

Uchiha Shisui just thought about it and quickly put it in the back of his mind - after all, this was not a problem that needed to be entangled in a short time.

But if people outside Ugetsu, especially Konoha, could hear what he was feeling at this moment.

I'm afraid I can only shake my head and sigh - Uchiha Shisui has completely transformed into the shape of Miss Ugetsu.

Be it behavior or way of thinking.

It's really the same.

——No one knows except themselves how many employees specializing in sealing arts were hired by Ugetsu Store that day, and how many ideas people brought to Orochimaru.

People only know that the Ugetsu store was very 'quiet' for a long time after that.

Of course, this does not mean that there is really no movement in Ugetsu Store. In fact, various projects and limited editions from time to time have been harvesting people's wallets.

It's just that compared to before, when it was always doing big business or making big moves (such as naming the Chunin Examination), it seemed too quiet.

If there is any news, it is that after several renovations, "Ninja Survival", a collaboration between Kirigakure Village and Ugetsu Shoten, has officially been put into operation.

Ninjas regardless of origin or age can come here to experience the joy of competition.

You can form a team together. If you think you can lead the entire team by yourself, there is no problem in forming a team on site.

Ever since it was officially announced for business, there has been a steady stream of ninjas participating.

If it weren't for the limited capacity, only 20 teams, or 100 people, were allowed to participate in a day, I'm afraid the staff wouldn't even have the time to take a sip of water.

But even so, the staff at Kirigakure Village were almost overwhelmed.

After all, every site restoration is a big project.

Fortunately, a very powerful support team came from Ugetsu Store, which allowed them to take a breather from the busy renovation work that seemed to have no end in sight.

The staff of Kirigakure Village are very grateful for this.

——It's a pity that that group of people don't like to interact with each other, so they do it secretly every time.

But it doesn't matter, they can communicate with Uchiha Itachi, who is in charge.

"As expected of an Uchiha genius, he is amazing."

"Thank you so much. I haven't been home for half a month. If I don't go back, my daughter won't recognize me..."

"I will definitely buy you a drink next time I come to Kirigakure Village...ah!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was stabbed by the colleague next to him.

"Wake up, I'm not an adult yet."

"...Then, let me treat you to a cup of milk tea."

Because of the cooperation with Ugetsu Shoten, the milk tea shop under Ugetsu Shoten finally opened in Kirigakure Village.

They no longer have to go outside to drink milk tea and play with the claw and gashapon machines.

Suddenly, the happiness index of the villagers in Wuyin Village skyrocketed.

"you are welcome."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

"These are what we should do."

"Then how can you say it's the right thing to do? Let you, who was originally here to assist us, do most of the work. It was us who took advantage."

"We will write to Miss Ugetsu and explain this matter - no need to refuse, this is what you deserve."

Seeing what Uchiha Itachi wanted to say, the person in charge of Kirigakure Village quickly interrupted him.

"In short, don't be humble anymore - didn't Miss Ugetsu also say that at Ugetsu Store, capable people will get more benefits, and you can't break the rules of Ugetsu Store."

Seeing that everyone in Kirigakure Village had reached this point, Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to shut his mouth and suppress the little bit of guilt in his heart.

"……I see."

"That's right."

The people in Kirigakure Village laughed instead. Faced with Uchiha Itachi's awkward look, they just thought that the other person was too young and not used to such a scene, so they gave him a few words of encouragement.

"A genius like you is destined to bear great responsibilities in the future."

"And taking responsibility is never easy."

"There are those who regard you as a hero, and naturally there are those who hate and hate you - whether you praise or insult you, it is normal. You should face it with a normal heart."

"……I see."

Facing this kind encouragement, Uchiha Itachi nodded solemnly.

"That's it, you lead the team first."

Seeing his affirmative answer, the ninjas in Kirigakure Village smiled and said hello and prepared to take turns to go home to see him.

As for the "Ninja Survival" project... they have watched it for so many days, and Uchiha Itachi and his team can do a good job.

Naturally, there is no need for them to point fingers here anymore.

After the ninjas of Kirigakure Village left, Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief before turning around and preparing to set off to the uninhabited island.

As for the team…

Of course it doesn't.

At best, it’s ‘Black Zetsu’ and the helpers he found.

After such a long period of 'cooperation', Uchiha Itachi finally got the perverted name, 'Black Zetsu'.

Although I don’t know if this is my real name, at least I don’t have to call him ‘pervert’ or ‘pervert’ all the time.

For this period of time, Uchiha Itachi has been following Kakuzu's advice and letting Black Zetsu work for him.

Arrange a round-the-clock work schedule to eliminate the possibility of him harassing other people.

However, he soon discovered that under such a high-intensity work arrangement, Hei Jue could still complete the work faster than expected.

This made Uchiha Itachi anxious and couldn't help but arrange more, more complex and difficult tasks for himself.

It was the time when even a genius like Uchiha Itachi couldn't complete the work independently.

He finally discovered the reason why Hei Jue could always exceed his quota.

——Because he hired a group of pure white people, who feel more like copied and pasted guys to work for him than 'the same race'.

Outsourced in layers.

Although Uchiha Itachi tried to say, 'Because you support me, I can't find outside help,' but he had no choice but to give up under the sophistry of the other party, 'These people are my kindred'.

After all, he couldn't really tell whether Black Zetsu and these copy-pasted 'White Zetsu' were the same race.

Besides, even if he really distinguishes it, what's the use?

As long as those White Zetsu are willing to work for Black Zetsu, he has no right to accuse them, right?

Originally, I didn't say that only one person could work on this thing when I 'supported' it.

Therefore, Uchiha Itachi could only choose more difficult and time-consuming work to consume their energy and physical strength.

Uchiha Itachi felt quite painful inside.

after all

He didn't expect that this was not just one pervert, but a group of perverts.

Pull out one, and there will be countless more behind.

And judging from the current situation, the dozen or so people who are busy now are far from all.

In desperation, he could only apply for the "Ninja Survival" project in cooperation with Kirigakure Village.

On the one hand, there are indeed a lot of manpower needed here.

When the event starts, a considerable number of people are needed to follow to prevent accidents.

When the round of repairs is over, the entire island needs to be repaired and equipment recycled.

If the equipment is not recycled, the supply packages accumulated in the end will be a very scary amount.

And if everyone's supplies are very rich, then naturally there will be no talk of "racking one's brains" to win.

Wouldn’t it be over if everyone relies on the generous supply package to head straight to the front or the next super trap?

Although these tasks are not complicated, because the current technology is not yet ready to be completed automatically, they can only be completed manually.

——That is, quite purely physical work.

It doesn’t require much skill, it just requires people to search and collect it.

This job is troublesome for the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.

But for Itachi Uchiha, it was like being dozed off when someone gave him a pillow.

He was worried that he could not use more work to hold back these white kin of the Black Zetsu.

So there was this 'elite team led by Itachi Uchiha' that the employees of Kirigakure Village were grateful for.

Fortunately, they look strange even though their origins are unknown.

But doing these basic repetitive tasks is still quite good.

At least Kakuzu has always been quite satisfied.

Itachi Uchiha was relieved to see that these people could indeed help and were not causing trouble.

Although he wanted to clean up the pervert, he did not want to cause trouble to others because of his own reasons.

Only Hei Zetsu's face became increasingly ugly.

——The 'help' he imagined is not like this!

In Hei Jue's long road of deceiving people, the instructions given to him by those people were all to 'covertly' complete a certain task, or to 'solve' a certain existence that troubled him.

It's amazing, just like Uchiha Madara, he regards himself as his 'shadow' and helps him do this and that all the way.

But that's all part of the effort to better resurrect my mother.

rather than as it is now.

Spending time every day doing meaningless work.

Hei absolutely does not need to eat, drink or sleep, so in fact, the length of working hours does not matter to him - after all, no matter how long it is, it will not be as long as the thousand years he has prepared to resurrect his mother.

But you can’t just repeat these meaningless tasks all day long.

Even in the end, he had no choice but to pull Bai Jue out.

...If it weren't for the fact that Uchiha Itachi had become more and more shaken recently, he seemed to have seen the dawn of 'deception'.

He would never spend such a large amount of money.

Hei Jue, who had a dark face and a slumped face, looked like a laborer who was dragged down by sunk costs.

There was a little bit of reason that I wanted to get out of, but I was held back by the huge costs I had invested in during this period. Keep going for the ‘carrot’ in front of you.

Even if you know you have to continue to invest, you will still have to close your eyes and continue to increase because you feel sorry for the cost that has been invested previously.

After all, there is still a chance to recoup the investment, but to withdraw from it... even all the previous efforts have been in vain.

How is this possible?

Black Zetsu's actions thus reached a stalemate.

Fortunately, Bai Jue doesn't need to eat, drink or rest. The dozen or so he has brought here are basically enough.

——Even if they have more work than they do now, they can still handle it.

The worst case scenario is to find one or two more Bai Jue.

Thinking of this, Hei Jue relaxed a little.

For most things in the world, the most difficult thing is the process of going from zero to one, from nothing to something.

Cheng.

More than a dozen Bai Jue were involved.

One or two more Bai Jue would be trivial.

What's more, this thing is not produced by Hei Zetsu.

If you use ready-made gadgets, don’t you get as many as you want?

Black Zetsu calmed down.

Black Zetsu is okay again.

He was waiting for the moment when Itachi Uchiha wavered, exposed his flaws and was deceived by him.

Having made up his mind, he even decided not to return to Akatsuki's headquarters - it didn't matter whether he returned or not.

Nagato and Konan were distracted.

Uchiha Obito felt rebellious again.

If you stay here, you might be able to find evidence that he communicated with Kakuzu and betrayed himself.

Thinking of the days when he was kicked out by Kakuzu some time ago and worked hard to hide his identity and the traces left by Uchiha Madara.

Hei Jue is full of resentment.

It's not that he felt betrayed - he didn't really regard these ninjas as his 'own people' in the first place, so where was the betrayal?

He was more angry at being injured by a tool.

You ninjas just need to be my tools. How can you still have your own ideas?

Tools should be used like tools by themselves until their lifespan is exhausted.

Hei Jue lost communication with Xiao.

Naturally, they didn't know that Nagato also started working for Ugetsu Shop, and joined the working group that analyzed the 'ancient sealing technique', looking for people on the moon, and the passage to the moon from the land under his feet.

Not to mention that Uchiha Obito, who was alone, really had other ideas this time.

Uchiha Obito did know some of the situation of Ugetsu Store, and the current situation that Nagato also started to take over the work of Ugetsu Store.

It's just that he's not interested in anything from a thousand years ago or any ruins.

Even if there is something on the moon, so what? What does it have to do with him?

He just wants revenge on this cruel world.

I want to feel pain in a world where even a good person like Lin cannot survive.

After being disappointed by his so-called 'companions' again and again, Uchiha Obito felt that he should not put his hope in these guys who didn't know the details.

After all, even Black Zetsu, who was Uchiha Madara's 'shadow', betrayed him and had his own ideas. Not only did he not work hard for the orders left by Uchiha Madara, he also ran around all day without even returning home.

How could he expect these people who had never experienced the pain of losing a loved one to be single-minded and with him?

They have no idea how cruel and unreasonable this world is.

Facing the dark room, Uchiha Obito closed his eyes.

——Now, he can only place his hope on ‘that one person’.

On the other side, Nagato, who joined the new project of Ugetsu Store, was also shocked.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, in the minds of people a thousand years later, the 'world' is the land beneath their feet.

How could it be possible to think that besides here, in the distant "moon" that only exists at night, there might also be human beings.

Even where could the ninja itself originate?

With the addition of a large number of ninjas who are good at sealing techniques, many cultural relics that were originally uninterpretable or whose true identities could not be seen due to the existence of sealing techniques have gradually revealed their true appearance in front of people.

More and more records from thousands of years ago are being interpreted, allowing people to learn more about the world thousands of years ago. I was shocked again and again.

What? It turns out that the Immortal of Six Paths really exists.

Thousands of years ago, there was a horrific war that turned the entire world into a battlefield?

The war lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until the end that there were ninjas?

People don't know what that 'war' was. They only know that the records of 'ninja' only came after that war.

But more specifically, how did ninjas appear and how did ninjas live and act thousands of years ago?

The...these details have not been recorded yet.

People only know that in the records, there are indeed records of people ‘here’ communicating with ‘people on the moon’.

The people on the moon seem to be called the ‘Otsutsuki’ clan.

And it’s even more unbelievable.

It is this 'Otsutsuki' clan, and there are records of 'coming from outside the sky'.

It's not the land under your feet, nor the moon... but the existence of a more distant, unimaginable space.

This is no longer shaking the three views, but shattering the three views.

"...So what do they have to do with Hinata?"

After listening to people's reports, Yuyue regained his energy, which was so shocked that he didn't know where to go, and tried hard to find something that he still remembered and asked questions.

"Unfortunately, there is currently no proof that can directly prove that they are related."

Orochimaru shook his head.

"Perhaps only the Hyuga clan and those on the moon who lived in that era would know."

Of course Orochimaru was also shocked by this discovery.

But rather than being shocked, he was more of a kind of 'longing'.

A kind of shock that originally thought the world was only this big, but was told that the 'world' was actually much bigger than what he thought, and a longing for the unknown world.

If all these records are true.

How did those people live? How did they come to this planet?

What kind of power was used?

If you can get it.

No, if that makes sense.

Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes.

He originally thought that Uchiha had reached the pinnacle of power in this world.

But now it seems that his vision is still too narrow.

Orochimaru, who is rigorous as a scientist but also admits his mistakes, realizes his superficiality in the past.

It would be shallow of him to only focus on the power of existing ninjas.

——The moon, and the power beyond the moon, should be the direction he pursues!

"Apart from these? Have you found the passage from here to the moon?"

Ugetsu's voice called back the attention of Orochimaru who was lost in his thoughts.

"Unfortunately, there is not yet...but we have found the corresponding explanation. Based on the existing records, we have analyzed some ancient maps."

Orochimaru said as he took out another document with many drawn areas on it.

"These are the areas that we've marked where there might be pathways - theoretically, the pathways are within these."

A fanatical expression appeared on his face:

"As long as we look for it one by one, we will definitely find that passage."

“To land on the moon is imperative!”
