Naruto: Corrupting my Naruto

After we left the village, near the border of Land of Fire, we encountered two Chunin defectors from Kiri.

Naruto's shadow clones swiftly took care of them.

Well, Naruto took care of them too fast.

"Naruto, you shouldn't have killed them so fast. If you have the capability, it's procedure to capture the enemies for extracting intel. It's another matter if you don't have the capability.

Still, good job for taking care of two Chunins."

Kakashi said to Naruto, slightly raising his eyes at Naruto not being affected by killing two people.

Well, he has killed his Shadow Clones during spars, and those memories come back to him. So he is pretty resilient towards death.

But well... I am pretty shaken up by the corpses.

Or so I thought. Surprisingly, I didn't feel much.

I still prayed for these people to reincarnate into a peaceful world and live peaceful and happy lives.

And well, since Naruto killed them, there was no indication that they were after Tazuna.

Speaking of Tazuna, he was pretty shaken.

We still continued on our journey, and got a boat to go to Waves.

"How is the Daimyo of Waves, Tazuna-san?"

I asked him, and he shook his head.

"I don't want to hide it from you. The Daimyo has been bought off by a businessman named Gato. With bribes and threats. Gato has complete control over our country. Please save us!"

This guy is smart. Now that I, a high profile person from Konoha, has come this close to the Waves, and I also have issued the mission to get there, he is playing the 'please pity us' card against me, a kid.

Kakashi and Yugao-sensei looked at Tazuna weirdly. Recognising that he is trying to take advantage of us.

"Alright. I will pay for my escort mission to be upgraded to A-rank mission. And Tazuna-san, I will pay for covering the fine you will have to pay for hiding crucial information.

This Gato guy stole your money huh? Considering that I had paid you plenty for the big projects?"

He hastily nodded.

"Tazuna-san, I recognise your talents. You are a better builder than any from the Land of Fire.

You just need to join my new company, The Construction Company, for 5 years. 100,000 Ryo for the first year, and salary increase as per your performance. And for the 5 years, you just need to deal with constructions in Land of Waves and Fire. You will be free to do whatever you want after that.

How about this? Do you agree?"

He hesitated a little.

"What do you want to do with Land of Waves?"

"Simple.

First, have Konoha, exclusively Team 7 and 14, deal with the missing-nins from Kiri that will arrive. Even if we deal with Gato right now, a new Gato will appear. And the size of goons and ninjas at command will only continue increasing.

Second, opening Land of Waves' economy to Land of Fire, with no immigration policy so that all the jobs and money that will come to Waves will only go to the people of Waves. Getting Land of Fire's support will ensure that another Gato doesn't appear after we deal with this one. Moreover, so that Land of Water doesn't try to take over Waves.

Third, allow me to be the sole property buyer from outside of Waves. I will not buy more than 10% of the island in any case. And the ports will be a co-operative with all the citizens of Land of Waves."

He hesitated as I laid out some of my intentions. The main thing? I am also trying to colonise this island country. But unlike Gato, who is behaving every bit like an evil European, USAian and Japanese coloniser, trying to extract every bit of value from the country and its people even though they are already poor, and no one wants him to continue his rule,

I am going to fatten up the people's pocket, and extract value as 10% income tax when I officially take over this island. I am going to educate them, produce high quality goods and services for me, and in return, become richer along with them and finally have my own raw supplies against the competition against the businesses and nobles of Land of Fire.

When their main suppliers, like farmers, cloth makers, will get free vacation in my vacation island, and see how well I am treating my employees, they will start defecting to my side.

Kukuku... I am quite evil...

"...um... how are you going to guarantee that you won't treat us like Gato?"

"Do you think I am a fool like him? I am an honest businessgirl. And if you don't believe me, after we get rid of Gato and his goons, we can sign an agreement that can't be broken between us.

And I am not some third class villain who wants to rule or something. I will be leaving most of the things to you, and the people of Land of Waves."

Tazuna looked around.

Naruto was calmly meditating, likely talking with Kurama.

Karin was training her chakra control by trying to have some water on her fingertips without wetting them. She will need it to counter genjutsu.

Sasuke was copying Naruto and meditating.

Sai was on the lookout for any enemy attacks.

Hinata was being Hinata. Ah. I completely forgot that I thought about 'training' her. I will start it once we return.

Kakashi was reading his book.

Yugao-sensei was expressionless, while possibly thinking that I am weird.

Tazuna finally looked at me, and sighed.

"Alright. I will put my trust in you."

Kekeke! Now that the main person on this island is my employee, I have already made 50% progress on colonisation of Waves.

I smiled and shook hands with Tazuna, as the island became visible in the fog.

As the boat docked on the shore, we got off.

Finally, we have arrived at Land of Waves!
