Chapter Eighty-Nine: That Man's Faith Is Money (1)
White Fang is dead?
When the three generations of Kazekage who were far away in the Sand Hidden Village heard the news, they wondered if the shadows of the Sand Hidden had made a mistake.
It's not that he doubts the strength of the rest of the ninja villages, but the three generations of Kazekage believe that apart from the current Five Shadows, there doesn't seem to be a ninja who can clamp Konoha White Fang.
On the frontal battlefield, the destructive power of Konoha White Fang, the three generations of Kazekage don't care.
But this is a sharp blade that can penetrate deep into the heart of the enemy and be invincible.
In particular, the high-level Konoha is very good at using this sharp blade, never putting him on the frontal battlefield, but in the form of an elite squad, carrying out sabotage work behind enemy lines, and in wartime, it once made Sand Cakure unable to take care of each other.
At critical moments, it can give the enemy a fatal blow.
In addition, in the past few years, the team led by him has reached 100% completion, and many big businessmen and nobles in the ninja world will go to Konoha to ask Shuo Mao by name to complete their tasks.
This is a supreme trust.
Now, the news of the death of Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shuomao obtained from the hands of the dark department, the first reaction of the three generations of Kazekage was not to believe it.
How could such a powerful ninja suddenly die?
"Who killed him? A ninja in the clouds? ”
The three generations of Wind Shadow looked calm.
Although a little unwilling, Sha Yin's comprehensive strength, among the five major ninja villages, is actually ranked backwards.
Immediately after Konoha is the cloud hidden in the Land of Thunder.
Most of the ninjas in this ninja village are ninjas who respect strength and action, and have an extremely terrifying will to fight.
If anyone can kill Konoha White Fang, the Cloud Hidden Ninja has the greatest chance.
"Not really, Kazekage-sama. That Konoha White Fang...... It was suicidal. ”
"Suicide?!"
After this Sand Shadow Shadow finished speaking, the expression of the three generations of Kazekage became extremely strange, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
Suicide?
How could it be suicide?
That Konoha White Fang actually died by suicide?
How is this possible?
What are those people in Konoha doing?
Is this inducing something? A conspiracy against the remaining four ninja villages?
"Here's what happened, Kazekage-sama."
The Shadow Leader presented the information he had gathered to the three generations of Kazekage.
After the three generations of Kazekage took it, he took it seriously, checked it five or six times from beginning to end, and finally determined a fact-
Konoha White Fang is dead.
Konoha White Fang, who gave him a great headache, died.
He was ready to sacrifice the elite ninjas of the sand to die with the white fangs of Konoha and the white fangs, but now the extremely risky plan is no longer needed, and there is no need for their sand hidden ninjas to kill the white fangs of Konoha by filling their lives.
The three generations of Kazekage even had the idea that the top level of Konoha was actually an ally.
And to understand the cause of the incident, although there is no detailed record, the three generations of Kazekage can also guess some.
The third generation of Konoha Hokage Ape is nearly fifty years old, and it is indeed time to re-elect a successor.
Konoha White Fang, Sanshinobi, and some of the rest of Konoha Kaminobi are all strong contenders for the fourth Hokage.
It's just a political struggle of Konoha internal friction.
“……”
The three generations of Kazekage sighed.
Konoha White Fang...... It's really not worth dying.
The joy of feeling that one of the great enemies is gone, and the sadness that comes to him, may be a warning.
No matter how powerful a village is, it cannot use this kind of way to gain political bargaining chips.
Regarding the election ceremony of the next fourth-generation Kazekage, it seems that it needs to be carefully examined to avoid following in the footsteps of Konoha.
However, I thought that there should be no such person in the Sand Hidden Village, and he was now in the prime of life, and it was not yet time to elect the next Kazekage.
Thinking about it this way, the three generations of Kazekage were temporarily much more relieved.
"Spread the news to Elder Chiyo, White Fang led his team and killed his son and daughter-in-law, and now that White Fang is dead, it can be regarded as revenge for her."
"Yes."
After the Sand Shadow Department left, the three generations of Kazekage exhaled lightly, took out a scroll from the drawer, and spread it on the table, looking at the contents of the scroll carefully and seriously.
This is the general plan for attacking the Fire Nation in the future and containing the Konoha forces.
These include offensive routes, supply routes, resource encroachment points, and all the plans of action, all of which are recorded on it.
Cross out one of the important links.
This link is to exterminate the white fangs of Konoha leaves.
Since Konoha White Fang is dead, there is no need to invest so many people in this link.
Excess manpower can be used for the rest of the critical links.
"If only the three shinobi were like White Fang......"
Speaking of which, the three generations of Kazekage felt that they were whimsical.
The camp that White Fang and Sannin belong to in Konoha and the political capital behind them are completely different.
Either way, the death of Konoha White Fang is a cause for celebration.
Let's finish work early today and go back to a good night's sleep.

The rest of the ninja villages received the news of White Fang's suicide one after another.
Their external statements are different, disdainful, cold-eyed, and excited.
However, many merchants and nobles in the ninja world are dissatisfied with this, you know, the task they issued to Konoha is still pressed there, and they have spent a lot of money to hire Konoha White Fang to complete the task.
Now that Konoha White Fang is dead, the ones who carried out their mission have been replaced by the rest of the shinobi.
Although Konoha senior management decided to return the extra funds from these rewards as soon as possible, it still had a big impact on Konoha's credibility.
To be honest, because it is impossible for the Hokage himself to participate in the mission, then, White Fang is the face of Konoha now, and both nobles and merchants are very confident in the ability of this Konoha Shinobi, as well as his reputation, and in the process of getting along, both parties are very happy.
Not only can they protect their goods, but their personal safety has not had any accidents.
Among Konoha people, there is only such a shinobi who can do such a thing at present.
After investigation, many nobles and businessmen questioned Konoha.
They don't care about the struggle within the ninja village, they only care about their goods and personal safety, and White Fang is exactly the one who can bring them this.
Now that White Fang is gone, his enthusiasm for Konoha will naturally decrease.
According to incomplete statistics, Konoha received a much lower income from taking tasks than in previous years.
Among them, there are many other ninja villages who are spreading rumors everywhere, smearing Konoha's image and justifying White Fang's name.
And this kind of bitter fruit, the top level of Konoha can only be destined to eat it by himself.
◎
It came to an end after Shuo Mao's death.
Shiraishi would also inquire about Kakashi in the village, or visit him in person.
Outside, he will ask his subordinates to take care of him to avoid any accidents.
Shiraishi, a subordinate who secretly took care of Kakashi, was also given a salary reward.
After all, this is not an official business of the organization, but a private matter that belongs to oneself, so this part of the funds can only be provided by oneself.
And during this time, Shiraishi also heard one more thing.
That is the Konoha ninja who was rescued by Shuo Mao, and ended his life quietly at home in a similar way.
In this regard, Shiraishi could not make a complete evaluation.
Because in Shuo Mao's heart, he never blamed this Konoha ninja, whether he slandered it or not, it didn't matter, and he didn't take his slander to heart.
He didn't have to commit suicide, he, like Shuo Mao, was just a victim of this political struggle, a tool that was thrown away when he ran out.
Even if he doesn't do it, the rest of the people will do it, and even more ruthlessly.
There was nothing wrong with him, just a very coincidental misfortune.
It just so happened that he was unfortunately chosen as the 'spokesperson'.
"704 people...... Excluding combatants and non-staff personnel, are there only 76 technicians of all kinds? Expenditures per month, total revenue of the organization ......"
In Konoha's underground laboratory, Shiraishi took the information reported by the insect man.
It is the scale of the organization's development so far, the number of bases and numbers in each country, the salaries of people at each level, and the organizational industry......
No, there is no industry in the organization right now.
The organization's source of funding is also maintained by Liuli's mine.
In the accounts of the organization, the funds are sufficient for use.
Even if it's not enough, just sell another mine.
Even in small countries, there are many merchants who will compete with each other and can sell them for a lot of money.
In the current organization, there are the most non-staff personnel, these are potential members of the organization, but they have not yet officially joined, these people are about 400 people, responsible for organizing some less important things, and they can't get in touch with the core secrets of the organization.
The second is the combatants, all of whom are transformed humans after being strengthened by Shiraishi with natural energy.
There were more than 200 people in total.
Most of them are concentrated in the headquarters of the Oni no Kuni, and a small number of them are engaged in secret activities in various countries and regions.
The elite team led by the insect man is very rare, and the work engaged in not only has to be kept secret, but also involves more important things in the organization.
The rest are technicians.
Among them, there are only six people engaged in scientific research, plus Shiraishi.
Most of the rest are talents from other fields.
At this point, Shiraishi also felt that the organization had a certain scale.
After all, natural energy is more convenient than chakra in terms of mass production of combatants.
Improve the physical skills first, ninjutsu can be learned slowly, even if you can't learn ninjutsu, it's not suitable to be a ninja, and the fighters who have been strengthened by natural energy can also fight back and forth with the lower ninja.
The organization's next step is to continue to focus on recruiting people, which requires talent from all walks of life.
Moreover, it is also necessary to set up a company to increase the organization's capital income channels, and it is not always necessary to sell mines to make a living.
There are enough people, and there is no problem with the funds at all.
What he needs now is someone who understands business operations to act as a leader.
Finding a list, Shiraishi zeroed in on a person.
The word 'business' is marked on the person's strengths.
"Cardo...... Just let this person try it......"
Just like Liuli said, throw the money out first and listen to it.
I don't know when, Shiraishi felt that his confidence was unprecedentedly sufficient
This is the power of the name 'money'.
"By the way, the organization still lacks a ...... to manage accounts"
Thinking of something again, Shiraishi thought that there was one less person in the organization who was proficient in accounting.
Although this is being done, it is not professional enough.
You have to find a professional to take care of the accounts.
◎
The country of tea, a very dilapidated teahouse that is basically not patronized.
In the dark layer of the teahouse is the branch base of the underground money exchange.
The five worm men came here and communicated with the staff here.
"We needed to hire a professional who was well-versed in the financial side of things."
When the staff heard the worm man's request, they were stunned.
"Hire a financial manager?"
"Yes, such a task can also be released, right?"
"Yes, yes, but this kind of task is relatively rare, and most of the corpses we receive here are corpses, and few of them are asked to live live."
The staff of the underground money exchange office nodded, indicating that they understood the task issued by the worm man.
Although the content of the task is a bit strange, since it is a customer's request, they have to try to meet it.
Anyway, with the information of their underground money exchange office, it is not difficult for them to find a professional who is proficient in finance.
"Just keep an eye on it. If you find it, I can pay you 200,000 taels. ”
After the worm man released the task, he was about to leave, and the staff member immediately replied: "That, Mr. worm man, please wait, I happen to have a suitable candidate here." Would you like to listen to it? ”
It's not about the money that's important, it's about making the customer feel welcome.
The purpose of their underground money exchange is to make customers feel physically and mentally satisfied.
The staff persuaded themselves so.
"Oh?"
The staff member's attitude became enthusiastic.
Thinking about it, the remuneration of 200,000 taels is also a lot of money for him.
"I don't know, Mr. Wormman, have you ever heard of the legend of the undead in the underground money exchange?"
"The undead?"
"That's a weirdo who has been working in the underground money exchange for decades, and it is said that his appearance has never changed, and he has always been the guest of honor in our underground money exchange. I've heard people say that he's a guy who is obsessed with money, and as long as it's related to money, he's so careful that many people are discouraged. Many people ridiculed him that he should not be a bounty hunter, but go to a large company to apply for a financial management officer. ”
The worm man became interested.
"Who is he?"
"A man named Kakudu, I think he is the financial manager you are looking for, Mr. Worm Man. He has an unrivalled wealth of experience in this area. ”
"Where can I find him?"
"He'd been here a few days ago, and he'd basically stay in one country for a month or two and then go hunting somewhere else, and he'd probably still be in the country of tea. Here's a picture of him. ”
The staff found a photo and put it in the hands of the worm man.
The worm man picked up the photo and put it in his arms, and without hesitation, he took out a hundred thousand taels of banknotes and put them in the hands of the staff.
"If he is indeed the financial management officer we are looking for, I will make up the remaining 100,000 taels later."
"Have a nice trip, Mr. Wormman."
Under the sincere bow of the staff, the five worm men left.
