I became rich through business in the ninja world

Taking the blame.

Instead of finding a strange villain that no one knows or knows about.

Of course, it’s better to find a ‘veteran’ that everyone is familiar with.

There is no need to introduce the foreshadowing, people can recognize the number on their own and accept this fact skillfully.

Save worry and effort and be convincing.

No matter how Yuyue thought about it, she felt that this was a perfect 'scapegoat'.

And not only can it be used this time, but it can also be used next time and the next time.

They can even take the initiative to throw the pot upward when necessary... Ahem, of course, it's better not to use this method.

After all, she is a serious businesswoman who makes money openly.

Anyway, it is impossible for them to stand up and explain in public - of course, when they have been defined as 'villains', even if they explain, how many people will listen?

After all, they are people who have attacked Ninja Village. Who knows whether their next target will be their own home?

Ugetsu could easily think of several ways to nail these people into the position of 'bad guys'.

Uchiha Fugaku finally understood why Miss Ugetsu had to look at himself first before speaking.

Because this is another attempt to blame 'that Uchiha outside'.

But compared to taking the blame on myself or Konoha...

Then it is better to die as a Taoist friend than to die as a poor Taoist.

Uchiha Fugaku quickly sorted out the pros and cons.

Decisively chose to sell the ‘Uchiha’ outside——

What does it have to do with us Uchiha if outsiders do evil?

Once he accepted this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression relaxed.

He even felt that this should be the optimal solution.

The son chased the Uchiha outside. It could be said that he was deceived by the other party, or it could be explained that he sympathized with the Uchiha and wanted to influence him.

"I understand."

He nodded solemnly.

"If you need us to cooperate, just tell us."

Yuyue waved to him, and then whispered: "You are like this..."

In the world of ninja, there is big news recently.

Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha who passed the Chunin Exam with brilliant results, is a rising star in the ninja world.

He ran away.

"I heard that Itachi Uchiha defected?"

"what?"

"That can't be said to be a defection... I heard that he ran away to persuade the Uchiha who stole the stroller back then to go home."

"So at most it can only be regarded as...temporarily resigning from Ugetsu Store?"

"Konoha just doesn't care?"

Even though he works at Ugetsu Shop, he is still a ninja of Konoha.

Doesn't matter?

"No, I just posted a message saying 'We welcome foreigners home', and then there was no further comment. It should be acquiescence to Uchiha Itachi's actions."

Otherwise, a wanted order would have to be issued for Uchiha's escape.

"What about the Uchiha side?"

"I heard that as the patriarch of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku keeps the lights on all night long. I guess it will be difficult for him to be a father."

The man put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment.

If it happened in my own home and my son did this...

Hiss - it's so difficult.

No matter what, I have to catch this bastard and break his legs.

"But from this point of view, Fugaku, as the clan leader, is indeed very generous and responsible - the clan members who are wandering around let their sons look for him."

"Yes, if it had been in the past, he would have been killed directly."

Disobedient tribesmen are no different from enemies.

In order to prevent the family secrets and blood lineage from leaking out, it is not uncommon for them to attack their own people.

No one would want to attack their own people.

But they are ninjas, and they will always encounter all kinds of uncontrollable situations.

Self, the moment when a choice must be made.

When talking about this, several people looked a little downcast.

"...Uchiha Itachi, it's really a good time."

"Yes."

Several people finally sighed.

if not like this.

How could Konoha let it go?

How could Uchiha Itachi dare to do such a bold thing?

Of course, we don’t care what the truth of the matter is, but the discussion still needs to be discussed.

After all, this is the gossip of a prominent family in the ninja world - in modern society, it would be equivalent to everyone eating from the heirs of wealthy families.

If your life is peaceful and regular, don’t you have to be enthusiastic about eating melons?

Especially the attack on Konoha for a stroller was once again unearthed from dusty memories.

The speculation that "Uchiha Madara snatched the stroller" was once again exposed by people.

There was no way, the movement back then was too great.

Even if it's just for the dignity of Konoha, I have to guess the most powerful one among Uchiha.

——Otherwise, any Uchiha or traitorous ninja can attack Konoha and make it prosperous. Then where will the reputation of the five major ninja villages in Konoha be put?

Therefore, the Uchiha who can take the blame can only be 'Madara Uchiha' or 'a descendant of Uchiha who is almost as powerful as Madara Uchiha'.

Because Ugetsu had already made peace with Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato in advance, the external caliber and attitude were also unified.

Therefore, although the news shocked the world after it spread, it did not cause panic or conspiracy theories.

Of course, it is not without speculation that Uchiha Itachi actually defected. It was just because Konoha and Uchiha couldn't make it easy for him, so he said he was chasing someone.

But there was no wanted order secretly, and the public attitude was tacit approval, so this speculation did not get much support.

People just use it as a conversation piece after dinner.

I remembered to say a few words and then passed.

The truth was buried like this.

The bizarre gossip that only 'Madara Uchiha' could steal a baby stroller instead of someone else was spread in all directions.

And it is constantly deforming, and some strange sayings have been derived.

Including but not limited to... Uchiha Madara is looking for an adopted son to inherit his family business. Uchiha Madara has a daughter, and now he is looking for a son-in-law and so on.

But because these news are outrageous, but considering the character of Uchiha Madara, it is not completely impossible.

Therefore, the timeliness of these rumors is longer than imagined.

So much so that it reached the ears of several people in ‘Xiao’.

Konan and Nagato don't like gossip, so it's okay - of course, mainly because they don't have a relationship with other members of the Akatsuki organization where they can gossip.

But something was wrong with the way Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito.

After all, when Uchiha Obito attacked Konoha and almost fell into it, he was the one who went to rescue the people.

At that time, he was not very satisfied with the other party's decision to cause trouble.

As a result, Uchiha Obito not only failed to do it, but also almost fell into it. Now it has caused so many scandals.

Isn't he a shameless person?

……No.

Black Zetsu quickly calmed down again.

He now has a better, more perfect tool man.

He looked at Uchiha Itachi who was hiding in the hiding place with him and was looking around, his eyes full of admiration.

With Uchiha Itachi, his goal of saving his mother will definitely be achieved.

When the time comes, these people will be either the incompetent Uchiha Obito or those guys who make taunts.

All must die.

What does he care about with the dead?

After Black Zetsu figured it out, he quickly began to introduce the 'base' he secretly purchased to Uchiha Itachi.

As a thousand-year-old Yinbi, Hei Jue understands the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows better than anyone else.

Almost as soon as he realized that Uchiha Obito and the other members of Akatsuki were unreliable, he prepared this new 'base' for emergencies.

Doesn't this come in handy now?

"Although this place is still very crude now, everything will be available in the future."

"What about the rest?"

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about the empty situation in the cave. He just asked another question 'accidentally'.

After all, Black Zetsu had promised to 'have companions and Uchiha Madara'.

What if you don’t honor it?

Of course Hei Jue was already prepared for this.

"Everyone has their own things to do, and they don't stay at the base all the time."

So the fact that you can’t see people now is not that there are no people, but that they are all going to work.

"After all, our target is this world."

Hei Jue had already thought that the other party might ask these questions, and Hei Jue answered them very smoothly.

"I see, then when will I meet them? It doesn't matter if I meet them one by one."

Uchiha Itachi's main purpose was to find out how many people there were, who they were, what their personalities were, and what abilities they had, so he would never miss the opportunity to meet people.

"This is it."

Black Zetsu didn't expect that the other party would be so persistent. Looking at Uchiha Itachi's focused gaze, he was stuck for a moment.

But after all, Hei Jue is also a fool, and he quickly replied:

"There is definitely a chance, but when everyone is busy, it wouldn't be appropriate to call everyone back just to meet, right?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded.

"I understand, work can't be delayed."

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon held it back because of Uchiha Itachi's next words.

"So I think I can take the initiative to visit them - after all, you are all my seniors, so it is natural for me to visit them."

He paused.

"If you seniors need anything, I can also help you."

He really means it!

Hei Ze was a little confused.

To be honest, he had never seen such a humble and powerful Uchiha.

In Hei Zetsu's understanding, if it was Uchiha Madara, asking others to come to see him would have to depend on his mood, let alone asking him to take the initiative to meet people.

Uchiha Itachi, this Uchiha, is truly an outlier among the Uchiha clan.

Hei Jue shook his head secretly.

But on the surface it says:

"If the opportunity is right, I will."

"But it's best not to interrupt without permission while you're working."

"Ok."

Uchiha Itachi also understood the reason why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He was afraid that the other party would be suspicious if he showed too much obviousness, so he nodded along with his words.

"Then you will notify me then."

Itachi Uchiha just thought that the other party didn't believe in him that much, but he never thought that the real reason was just because this was Kuro Zetsu's own 'private decision'. He was afraid that his private behavior of recruiting people to replace him would be discovered and would affect the work of saving his mother. I don't want the two sides to meet.

"sure."

Black Zetsu replied with a fake smile.

The two sides will definitely meet in the end - but only after he has dealt with the traitor.

There was a fierce glint in Hei Jue's eyes.

At that point, everyone is working together towards one goal.

It’s hard not to meet.

"So what do I do now?"

Although he was rejected from meeting, Uchiha Itachi was not discouraged.

Since there is no way to investigate the manpower problem, he can also investigate the work content of these people.

Although the amount of information is definitely not as much as what you can get directly from people.

But the work, the location, and even the traces left behind are enough to analyze some information.

"...Black Zetsu?"

Seeing that Kuro Zetsu didn't respond immediately, Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked over with questioning eyes.

Darkness:  …

How the hell do I know what you're going to do.

Although Hei Jue has been hurriedly trying to get people to work. For example, collect more manpower, expand intelligence and sphere of influence, and then collect tailed beasts.

But apart from these, it is all private time - only people have fun by themselves, and no one wants to live for themselves.

As a passive person who is accustomed to acting under the command of others and doing private work, what Black Zetsu fears most is Uchiha Itachi who takes the initiative to live no matter what.

It's as if an employee who has been working as a cog in the most basic position all his life, doing whatever job he is given, is suddenly taken out to be assigned work by the person in charge.

This is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but it’s just that I have never done it in this life, so I can’t.

You're new here, don't you want to take a break?

Seeing that Black Zetsu didn't reply for a long time, Uchiha Itachi, who was used to an efficient work life, couldn't help but frown.

"Don't you have a specific work plan when you recruited me?"

"This, this..."

How could he have such a thing?

Who is the person who lurks in the shadows and has to make work processes and plans?

Besides, even if he wants to do it, he has to make plans to save his mother. How could it be your turn to arrange things like screws?

"You just arrived...it's better to take a rest first."

"No, the prerequisite for rest is fatigue. I'm not tired now, so let's start working."

Uchiha Itachi, who thought he came here with a mission, felt that he shouldn't waste any time.

If you rest for an extra minute, you may miss a piece of information.

How could he delay!

And the more active he is, the bigger Hei Jue becomes.

——We can’t just let him catch the tailed beast right now, right?

Even if he dared to do this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't do it. No matter how talented he is, he is still an underage boy. Even at this age, Uchiha Madara is not so talented that he can directly compete with a tailed beast.

It will only waste the life of a genius, and may even accidentally reveal their purpose.

Let the ninja village with tailed beasts be more vigilant.

But other than that, Hei Jue really didn't know what else to send him to.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi with a serious face, waiting for his words seriously.

For the first time, Hei Jue was troubled by the young man's super mobility and serious attitude towards work.

Sometimes, being too serious and action-oriented may not necessarily be a good thing.

At least for Black Zetsu, that's the case.

In desperation, Hei Jue had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept a job that was somewhat mixed with personal grudges.

"Then you go and supervise Kakuzu - even though he is your old boss, he has bullied you in the past, right?"

Black Zetsu, who had no idea that those jobs were requested by Uchiha Itachi himself, only thought it was Kakuzu's oppression. So when he told about this mission, he was quite proud.

Give the 'victim' a chance to take revenge on the 'perpetrator', and don't you worry about Uchiha Itachi being moved to the point of being completely devoted to him?

"If he does anything strange, tell me - I suspect he is tracking an important member of ours."

Of course ‘I’ am also an important member, so there is no problem at all in saying so.

Black Zetsu thought it was all perfect.

It can not only monitor the progress of Kakuzu's search, but also allow Itachi Uchiha to take revenge.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

So after giving the half-truthful instructions, he left with peace of mind.

Uchiha Itachi was left to squint his eyes and think about the possible information contained in this.

They all know that Kakuzu-sama often takes on private jobs.

He wouldn't deliberately hide things like killing someone on a wanted warrant or helping to investigate some information.

It's something that you won't know if you don't pay attention. As long as you investigate carefully, you can find out the news.

——I just don’t know which target is this

, it can be related to ‘Black Zetsu’.

Uchiha Itachi felt that this was a good breakthrough point.

Not only can he make some achievements to make Hei Jue believe in him, but he can also get more information from it.

It's a good deal.

Although I feel a little sorry for Kakuzu-sama...but this is what he has to do.

Uchiha Itachi would not say, 'This is a last resort, I believe he will understand'.

He doesn't think that what he wants to do will necessarily be understood or forgiven. It was his decision, and he did it.

It doesn't matter even if you get a reputation.

The young man is already prepared for this realization.

Although Uchiha Itachi's 'running away' has become a 'hot search' in the ninja world to a certain extent, after all, he is just a future Uchiha 'genius' and does not have many substantial deeds.

Therefore, although the shock was great, it did not last long.

After all, there will always be all kinds of new news to replace it in the ninja world.

For example, the joint construction team of Ugetsu Store and Iwagakure Village received business from the daimyo.

A large resort area covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters is to be built.

——This is a big construction job that the ninjas have never received before.

The reason why the daimyo chose the joint construction team of Ugetsu Store and Iwagakure Village was not only because Ugetsu Store has always had a very high reputation.

It was also because they had truly seen the hard-core strength of this construction team in the Country of Waves.

The country of Waves is no longer the small, remote and poor country it used to be. Because it is the headquarters of Yuyue Express, it has convenient transportation and developed materials.

Whether it is freight or passenger transportation, it is an absolute hub in this area.

In this case, the people who come to work here and the people who provide services to the people who work here have also become a quite large group.

Together these people turned it into a bustling city.

The low thatched houses have disappeared, and the roads that are in tatters and become waterlogged when it rains have long been turned into neat avenues.

Even if the Daimyo's carriage comes, they can still walk side by side in wealth.

In fact, if we only talk about the so-called "modern architecture", the density here is the highest in the world.

Although these buildings with seven or eight floors and ten floors are not so in line with the aesthetics of the nobles - they feel that such buildings are tall, but they are too monotonous and the rooms are too small.

What can be done with an area of ​​several hundred square meters?

The two storage rooms where they live are almost this big, so where is there any other living space?

Even if there is a 'flat floor' of 200 to 300 square meters, it's not that big.

Which superior noble family usually doesn't have twenty or thirty servants? If they want to live in these places, they even have to reduce the number of entourage.

But I have to say that it is really cool to live at a high place and have a panoramic view of the small mountains.

Therefore, people who have money, leisure and don't mind will still buy one or two properties here as their foothold here.

And those who care very much and want to have this vision... of course choose to hire a construction team to work for them.

For example, a resort area can be built directly on a mountain with beautiful scenery.

In addition, what worries the ninjas even more is the news that "Young Heroes" will soon be on TV.

After so many years of hard work, "Young Heroes" can finally meet people in the form of "animation".

It is also thanks to the fact that the world has been very peaceful and free of large-scale battles for so many years. Both the five major countries and the surrounding small countries have time and money to light up the technology tree.

Maybe at first they weren’t sure where exactly what they created could be used.

To this end, Ugetsu Store has specially held a ‘Voice Actor Selection Contest’ – if you sign up, you may have the opportunity to dub your favorite character. Who is not confused after hearing this?

Ugetsu doesn't even need to go out of his way to promote it.

Just when the news was revealed on "Ninja Chronicles", it immediately caused a sensation.

Countless people flocked to

Ugetsu Store, as well as Ugetsu Store-related cooperative stores, inquire about the registration conditions and requirements.

It was even crazier when I learned that there were no strings attached and no money was even required.

Ugetsu Store is good, Ugetsu Store is wonderful!

They don't even charge for such a hard work - this must be a decision that can only be made by someone who wants to make "Young Heroes" a success!

"As expected of Ugetsu Store, it must be the only one with such courage."

"Ah ah ah, I don't care, my beloved character can move! There is also sound!"

“My favorite character’s voice is mine!”

"I can say my favorite lines openly now!"

“Audiences all over the world will listen to my voice then!!!”

Rush!

In just a few days, the number of registration forms exceeded 10,000, and the number is still growing - conservative estimates suggest that more than 50,000 people may sign up before the deadline.

Compared to this kind of activity that almost everyone participates in, the 'disappearance' of a young genius is really not big news.

Only relatives, friends, and leaders are still paying attention to this.

Looking at the list that was still as thick as an encyclopedia after several screenings, Ugetsu rubbed his forehead.

"So there's no news about Itachi yet?"

"No."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head.

His face was full of helplessness as his youthfulness gradually faded away.

Uchiha Itachi kept his word.

He said he would go into hiding and not contact anyone again. He really hasn't contacted anyone for such a long time.

Even if they could occasionally get some information about where they had seen him, by the time their people arrived, he would have already disappeared.

——Everyone learned Uchiha's techniques together, why is he the only one who can lurk so well?

Can't find any trace?

Yuyue felt dizzy after hearing this.

She wanted to hold down Uchiha Itachi and watch him being spanked, but she really couldn't see it for a while.

Ugetsu turned over the registration form in front of him, and then made a distressed voice: "Should I entrust this matter to Kakuzu..."

Although Kakuzu already has a lot of work.

But it’s not easy to find outsiders for this job, and among insiders, Kakuzu should be the best choice... right?

She turned around and asked her gold medal assistant:

"Do you know where Kakuzu is now?"
