Kakuzu was overjoyed.
I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen when I hired a new employee.
It's good to have a commission. As long as the money is in place, any commission can be discussed.
Not to mention finding people, he can even provide a full range of services - including but not limited to finding people and shaping the people into the shape and condition required by the employer.
Alive, dead, half-dead.
Complete, incomplete, or fragmented.
Take your pick.
He certainly satisfied his employer.
Kakuzu looked the man in white up and down.
He looks even thinner than Kimimaro... I heard he's a man with great brain power.
His brain began to race wildly.
Then maybe I should be able to do some of the scorpion's work?
That guy is too inefficient and you can't rush him. If you rush him, it'll be a waste of time. There are too many idiots working and he's the only one working, so how can he speed up?
Now with one more person, the work efficiency should at least be doubled, if not tripled.
You know, sea stars are all money.
The sooner you deliver, the sooner you make money.
Delivering one more ship means earning more money.
Miss Yu Yue has always been generous. If this man really doesn't want a salary and spends money as he said, then shouldn't she be able to collect double the money?
Kakuzu's sudden and urgent question naturally attracted Hiruko's attention.
Only then did he notice this guy who was dressed in black and didn't look like a good person at all.
...But it doesn't matter. When looking for someone, the worse the person, the better.
The worse they are, the more they will resort to tricks.
"How much do you want?"
Bei Liuhu asked in a deep voice.
“It depends on how much you can give.”
Kakuzu was also unambiguous.
"If you want me to pay you more, you have to prove yourself first."
Beiluohu narrowed his eyes.
Of course he understood what the man meant - such words usually came from the mouths of Jonin or even rebel ninjas close to Kage.
Because they are strong enough, they have the qualifications to be arrogant.
But no matter how anxious Beiliuhu was, he would not be so desperate as to hand over a huge sum of money to someone he had no idea of ​​the details of.
"Hirohu, this man is Kakuzu."
Jiraiya quietly poked Biruko's waist.
Channel.
"horn……"
Beiluo opened his eyes wide.
If it's that Kakuzu, isn't he the legendary character who once carried out the assassination attempt on the First Hokage?
Because there is a legend that he assassinated the first generation, and he has been active in the dark, there are many legendary stories about Kakuzu.
For example, legend has it that he has three brains and several hands and feet, and there is also legend that he is immortal, which is why he can still be alive and kicking and causing bloody storms after the first generation of adults have died.
Hiruhu's breathing quickened.
If this is the kind of person he is...if he really is immortal.
Isn't that the ultimate dream of his 'Ghost Bud Art'!
Beiliuhu was ecstatic and his eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down.
The focus now is to catch people.
If there is a legendary figure like Kakuzu-sama...then we should be able to achieve our goal very quickly!
"No problem, if it's Lord Kakuzu, I'm willing to give all my money to him!"
He said with a serious expression.
"Lord Kakuzu, I'll leave everything up to you. Lord Kakuzu can talk to these three about the specific situation."
After saying this, Beiluhu glanced at his former 'old teammate'.
Pull me over to do the work, and you can't just stand by and watch.
"Can."
Kakuzu nodded in agreement.
Considering the commission and the value this guy can bring to him in the future, Kakuzu will definitely prioritize this matter.
He's just looking for someone. If he can't find someone in a month, he'll look for three months. If that doesn't work, he'll look for half a year or a year.
His wishes can always be fulfilled.
By then, this guy can create more profits for himself in a down-to-earth manner!
Orochimaru looked at Kakuzu who was willing to work, and he couldn't help but praise Miss Ugetsu's wonderful methods.
It's not just about "hiring" Kakuzu, but about "tying" him to the interests of Ugetsu Shoten.
If he was just an ordinary person or still using the old rebel-ninja model of wandering and charging, Kakuzu would definitely not be so dedicated.
But now, he and Yuyue Store share a common interest.
The harder the people below work and the more value they produce, the more he gets... In this way, of course he will work hard for his own gains.
In order to obtain continuous benefits, they will also take the initiative to manage and supervise the work of other troublesome employees.
It can be said that by hiring him, several problems can be solved at one stroke.
It’s high, really high.
——I believe that in this kind of working environment, Beiluhu’s talents will be able to be fully utilized to the greatest extent in a fair and just manner.
Orochimaru was very pleased.
Although his purpose of capturing Beiluhu to work here may not be so pure.
But as a long-time teammate, he still hopes that Beiliuhu's talent can be utilized rather than wasted.
The teacher said that with Hiruko's talent, it would be a waste for him to just be a ninja.
The research room and laboratory are the real stage for him to showcase his talent.
Hiruko's wish was fulfilled, Kakuzu had a new source of income, and the Sannin were very satisfied because they had helped their companions who had once gone astray get back on the right track.
Only Yu Yue was speechless.
——You have said so much, have you ever asked me, the boss?
And no salary or anything.
You said you don't want a salary, so you don't want a salary? If that gets out, who would want to work at Yuyue Store?
So Yu Yue cleared her throat:
"Of course you still have to pay me. You can't just say no to it. But even if you are recommended by the Sannin, you still have to go through a probation period."
"During the three-month probation period, you will receive 80% of your salary, and other benefits are the same as those of regular employees. The specific position and salary will be re-determined based on your performance after you become a regular employee... I think you all have no objection to this, right?"
"I can do anything."
Beiliuhu nodded with a look of joy on his face because he had found the big boss to help him deal with the shameless and despicable stalker.
Anyway, he has no hope of developing the Kisara Technique now (after all, the business has been ruined by the three old teammates of the Sannin), so even if he is not here, he has nowhere else to go.
In addition, there is Kakuzu, a legendary figure with the legend of "immortality".
——Isn’t it faster to observe an entity than to rely solely on his imagination to try and error one by one?
And I heard that he can also do research work... This is a great job tailor-made for him!
Beiliuhu felt that he was better.
He will take root here!
Yu Yue is also satisfied now.
As for whether Hiruko was a traitor and his loyalty, that was not something she was concerned about.
There is a saying that goes, 'People betray because the benefits are not enough.'
And what Yuyue Store is least afraid of is providing this.
As long as you can make money for me, I will provide you with a high-quality environment and generous income that were difficult to provide in the past.
For people in modern society, these may easily become boring or surpassed.
But in the ninja world, where ninjas have just emerged from a precarious life of sleeping in the open air, everything that Ugetsu Shoten can provide is something they had not dared to imagine in the past, and something that other conservative and wealthy aristocrats who have not yet realized that times have changed do not have the courage to provide.
That is the so-called stage where 'those who are richer than her don't have the courage, and those who are not as rich as her simply won't do it'.
Even if someone suddenly has an epiphany and reacts.
The connections and trust she has accumulated through so many years of cooperation with the ninja villages are difficult for others to achieve.
Not to mention the ninja world's yearning for the Ugetsu Shop.
Therefore, Yu Yue is very confident in retaining these outstanding talents.
And things happened just as Yu Yue had expected, and Beiluohu quickly started working.
After visiting Scorpion's luxurious workshop and hearing that one third of the items there were provided by the Yuyue Store, I was so envious that my eyes turned green.
You have to know that there are many things that you can't buy just by having money.
Those who control high-end resources often choose their customers.
——At least a traitor like him would definitely not be listed as a visitor.
If you really want it, you can only go to the black market.
But most of the stuff on the black market is second-hand and extremely expensive - but even so, you still have to queue up and compete.
Considering that he was willing to be a rebel ninja and worked hard for several years, the only fortune he earned was just five cents... or one quarter of it.
When I recall it, I shed a tear of bitterness.
And here, so many good things are even provided to them for free.
I shed tears. What a tough guy shed tears.
But that’s not all.
"This is just part of the move. My workshop is still mainly in the Sand Village."
Completely ignoring Biluhu who was so envious that his cell body was about to separate, Scorpion spoke lightly.
This show-off, which had no intention of showing off at all, instead hurt other people's hearts even more.
At least
Beiluhu's eyes, which were red...became even redder.
What? This is only part of it?
How luxurious must his real workshop be?
The poor rebel dared not imagine it, but he developed a new desire.
——If he can also prove his ability.
Can you also dream of owning such a high-end luxury workshop of your own?
Beiluhu was completely devoted to him.
There was no way he would leave until he had at least gotten all the equipment he needed.
"Okay, then let me start with the pearl oyster."
The handsome man changed his clothes and got into the mood in a second.
Once Beiliuhu entered the state, his progress was unexpectedly high.
In addition to his own talent, the huge amount of knowledge he accumulated in order to study the 'Ghost Geranium Technique' also became the key to his rapid development at this time.
"The reason why pearl oysters can produce pearls is that when they become diseased or are unable to expel invading foreign bodies, they will secrete a substance called 'nacre' to wrap up the diseased parts or foreign bodies - I won't explain what this 'nacre' is, because you won't understand it anyway."
Beiluohu, who had entered a professional state, talked incessantly about his project.
"In short, after a certain period of time, the layers of nacre will form the pearls we need."
"Natural pearls are caused by natural diseases or by accidentally inhaling foreign matter such as mud and sand. Not all pearl oysters have pearls, and not all pearl oysters with foreign matter can form pearls."
"So what we need to do is to carry out artificial intervention, select the right 'foreign matter', put it in the right place, and then catalyze it to form pearls quickly."
As he spoke, he took out a small piece of glass. If you look closely, you will find that this is not just a simple piece of glass. In the center of it, there is a very small object that cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
"This is the suitable 'foreign matter' that I have selected, that is, the 'nucleus' of the pearl. After testing it on hundreds of pearl oysters, I found that this is the one with the most stable yield and the best pearl production effect."
Beiluo proudly announced his achievements.
"Already have pearls?"
Yu Yue raised an eyebrow in surprise.
To be honest, she thought it would take at least one or two years for this thing to produce results.
I didn't expect that the finished product would be available in just a few months.
"It can be catalyzed in the laboratory using a special sealing technique." Beiluohu responded immediately. "But if it is a natural environment, it should still be calculated in years."
“And there are also problems such as being blown away by wind and waves or becoming diseased.”
The laboratory does not pursue quantity, so of course everything is fine, but for large-scale breeding... Beiliuhu cannot guarantee it.
"We in the Hidden Mist Village will take care of this."
The person in charge of the pearl farming project in Kirigakure Village who came with them immediately said.
"We will have someone conduct an on-site inspection to select the most suitable area for breeding oysters, and we will also send someone to learn the relevant techniques of pearl oyster breeding from Lord Beiliuhu."
Being addressed respectfully as "Sir", Hiruhu was stunned for a moment.
——How long has it been since someone called him that?
It seems that he has become like this since he betrayed the ninja village. No, it should be said that he has become like this since he realized that he could not catch up with his teammates no matter what, and began to study the Kisara technique away from other people's sight.
In the eyes of the people of Konoha, he became a weirdo.
He himself was ruled by an unbearable inferiority complex and devoted himself to studying the art of Guiya Luo and was unwilling to face other people.
"…So is there anything else wrong? Master Beiruo."
Seeing that Hiruhu, who was dressed in a white robe, had not spoken for a long time, the ninja from the Hidden Mist Village asked in a low voice.
"No." He paused. "I'm thinking about other issues - I'll organize the relevant technologies and give them to you, but how much you can learn is up to you."
"Yes! We understand this... but we still hope that Master Beiluhu can give us some more advice when he is free."
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village would certainly not force the Ugetsu Store to teach them until they learn the basics.
After all, technical work is like ninjutsu. Some people can master it right away, but some people can never learn it no matter how hard they try.
So the idea that everyone can do it is unrealistic.
But it's still possible to teach a few more people.
"If I have time."
Beiliuhu neither nodded in agreement nor denied it.
But this has already made the Hidden Mist Village ecstatic.
After all, the technology of pearl cultivation has matured, so they can continuously provide more pearl oysters that have been opened, and they can also continuously provide pearl powder of various grades.
Compared with the former, the latter is a
The benefits of doing it in the long run.
By then, we can cooperate with the Ugetsu Store to develop various products with added pearl powder, and the economic situation of the Hidden Mist Village will definitely take off.
"Besides that, I also have some inspiration for a project on breeding pearls with targeted colors and shapes."
What!?
This works too!
Before Yu Yue was surprised, the corners of the Mist Village ninja's mouth were about to grin from ear to ear.
"Then, is there anything we can cooperate with?"
"have."
Beiluhu's answer was also very straightforward.
He found two scrolls separately.
"This is for Orochimaru. I need more related experiments. The projects I need are all written here. Find someone to deliver it to him and have him do all the experiments."
Then he took out another scroll.
"Here are the things I need Tsunade's assistance with, including but not limited to the efficacy and demand of cultured pearl powder. Only if she puts forward the accurate project direction and requirements, I will know how to make specific improvements."
"These are urgent, so please expedite the return."
A faint smile appeared on Beiliuhu's handsome face.
Since you say that I am your 'companion', it is only natural that we share the joys and sorrows together, right?
Where can you find a companion who ignores the needs of his companions?
"One week... No, in order to complete the project earlier, five days is better. I hope I can see feedback on my desk in the morning after five days."
In this way, although it is said to be five days, it is actually only four days.
Of course, the ninja from the Hidden Mist Village didn't know what Okitama's "intentions" were. He just felt that the Hidden Mist Village had really met a noble person again this time.
Feeling that a week is too slow, he takes the initiative to work overtime to shorten it to five days. What a good person.
After all, the earlier it goes online, the earlier the Hidden Mist Village can start making money.
This is so funny that I can wake up laughing even in my dreams.
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village never imagined that they could make money this way, and so easily.
He immediately responded loudly:
"Yes! We will expedite the delivery and ensure it reaches Lord Orochimaru and Lady Tsunade as soon as possible!"
Yu Yue: “…”
Although it's a good thing that my subordinates are motivated, shouldn't they ask me, the real boss?
...But it doesn’t matter.
This kind of benign "revenge" is also good for her
.
As a beneficiary, she should not make any additional remarks.
Anyway, both sides are ninjas who can make the impossible possible.
If they use their invincible ninjutsu and ninja tools and work hard, there will always be a way to solve it, right?
The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village left at the speed of light and arranged for someone to deliver the letter.
To be honest, in the past he looked down upon such risk-free 'small' tasks as delivering letters.
As a ninja, of course, you should fight for yourself and your ninja village in the bloody storm.
Things like delivering letters, replying letters, and looking for pets...that's not what a proper ninja should do.
But today, he understood.
What's all this fighting and killing, it's either you die or I die, it's all empty talk.
You may not make money after working so hard, but you may lose your life.
Now that all the people are gone, how can we talk about making money and letting everyone in the Ninja Village live a good life?
Anyone who wants to take this kind of job can do it. Anyway, the Hidden Mist Village is going to embark on a new path!
As a qualified boss and ninja, Kakuzu did not just talk about it after accepting Hiruko's commission, but actually started an investigation.
Although this 'stalker' has neither an accurate physical description nor a reliable feature.
But Kakuzu was still very dedicated and diligent in his search.
He was not in a hurry. He would go there once he had time after finishing his work and search one area at a time. If he couldn't finish the work, he would not force himself. He would just go around and go back to continue his job.
When I have time, I'll do it again.
This almost caused Black Zetsu, who had just put his mind at ease, to suffer a cardiac arrest on the spot - of course, that is, if he still had a heart.
Black Zetsu feels miserable.
Of course he didn't know that the reason Kakuzu was running back and forth was to catch 'the kind-hearted him', he just thought that these ninjas were all mentally ill.
He doesn't understand.
These people got what they wanted and caught the person, so why did they come back and attack again?
Is there something wrong with you guys?
Still searching?
What are you searching for? You're just short of digging deep into the ground to dig out all the things that Uchiha Madara left behind.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be really looking for something, and would not give up until he found it, Hei Jue could not help but start thinking about the possibility that someone had leaked the information.
...No, it's better to say that this possibility is still very high.
Otherwise, the ninja world is so big, why don't they go to the Snow Country or the Hot Spring Country, but just go back and forth in these few places?
Considering that Xiaonan is flirting with that Yuyue store all day long... No, that's not right.
Black Zetsu quickly rejected this idea.
Because Konan didn't know where Uchiha Madara's former base was.
In a flash, another figure flashed through Black Zetsu's mind.
He suddenly remembered that Uchiha Obito had also been to the Land of Waves.
And his goal at that time was to recruit Kakuzu.
Black Zetsu didn't ask what exactly happened - after all, the fact that Kaku didn't come back with him was enough to prove the result.
At that time, Black Zetsu was too lazy to pay attention to Uchiha Obito, a man who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, and naturally he would not pay special attention to his failure again.
But now when I think about it again, it seems suspicious no matter how I think about it.
If it were in the past, if he really caused any trouble, he would definitely come to me to clean up the mess.
But since then, there has not been a single serious negotiation between them.
Black Zetsu didn't think at all about why he felt annoyed when he saw Uchiha Obito and turned around and ran away. He just felt that Uchiha Obito's series of actions were because he had other little tricks up his sleeve and was afraid to face himself.
And now it seems that it might be related to Kakuzu's action.
The corners of Hei Jue's mouth drooped suddenly.
He never expected that this carefully selected Uchiha would have problems at such a critical moment.
"This is not good."
He had spent a thousand years setting up the plan, and now he was about to get what he wanted. If something went wrong because of Uchiha Obito's little trick...
At that moment, he wanted to eat the other person's heart alive.
But soon Black Zetsu calmed down again.
No, he couldn't act rashly now.
Black Zetsu quickly controlled himself and calmed down.
No matter what Uchiha Obito did, now is not the time to turn against him.
Now Uchiha Obito is still needed to act in the front.
This way he could stay in the shadows instead of exposing himself outright.
He had been hiding well for the past thousand years, so there was no reason for him to expose himself because of such a small matter.
Black Zetsu, who had figured everything out, began to think quickly.
But in this case, he had to start planning all over again -
Originally he just thought that Konan and Nagato had already alienated themselves from him and might not be of any use to him.
But now it seems that Uchiha Obito is in great danger here.
It's not surprising that a man betrayed the village and wanted to kill his teacher just because the girl he loved died.
It's not surprising that someone betrayed someone due to some kind of provocation.
Besides, he didn't choose to join their actions because he admired Uchiha Madara. It can only be said that he was well fooled and made him think that they were heading in the same direction.
Black Zetsu frowned and looked into the distance.
——Maybe it’s time to choose a new chess piece.
Anyway, there are countless ninjas.
There are as many useful chess pieces as you want. Uchiha Obito may be the most convenient one to continue using, but he is never the only choice.
Let’s not talk about the problems between Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito for now.
The five major ninja villages... of course mainly the four ninja villages outside the Hidden Mist Village have become active again.
The purpose is very simple.
It's for the new item of Ugetsu Store, 'Ninja Survival'.
It is obviously not the character of the ninjas to sit and wait for death. Rather than passively waiting for notifications, they would certainly rather give it a try.
If you try your best but fail, there is nothing you can do about it, but if you are sentenced to death before you have the chance to try... then my deceased ancestors will be so angry that they will kick the coffin lid and come out to deal with them.
So after several discussions, the four major ninja villages began to take action.
——This first 'Ninja Survival' venue must be next to our Ninja Village!!
