Chapter 314 Specious people
(The old man at home came back late for his birthday, so I’ll post it first and change it later, sorry)
"Long time no see, Scorpion."
"Hmph, I don't really want to see your face that much, Uchiha Shisui."
The Red Sand Scorpion met Uchiha Shisui, who was standing in front of the gate of Akatsuki City to greet the guests as Kirigakure Village's ambassador to the Akatsuki Organization, and asked with a normal expression:
"Do you know why Rei Kaguya suddenly called the Dawn Conference?"
"Know."
"Tell me?"
"Sorry, no comment."
Uchiha Shisui, who was much more mature and cheerful than when he went to Loulan Country to work as a supervisor seven years ago, blinked at the Red Sand Scorpion and gave an infuriating answer with a smile.
"Did Kaguya Rei ask you to do this?" The Red Sand Scorpion was not annoyed. After all, he knew very well that even if he was angry to the sky, he would not be able to do anything to Kaguya Rei. "Or should I say this is your personal Decide?"
"It's just my little selfishness," Uchiha Shisui shrugged, and a few small sparks popped out from the tachi hanging around his waist, "Remnant Fire", "After all, this kind of news can only It had enough impact when I heard it for the first time. A strong person like you with outstanding strength cannot just let you lose the opportunity to be shocked and speechless by this news."
"You are really starting to look more and more like that wicked guy Kaguya Rei."
The Red Sand Scorpion shook his head, and with two puppet guards filled with various puppet scrolls, he walked into the embassy built specifically to welcome the heads of various countries and forces in the City of Dawn, and followed behind him Queen Sara stuck out her tongue at Uchiha Shisui embarrassedly, and then followed the Red Sand Scorpion in.
Uchiha Shisui shrugged indifferently, but Yahiko beside him, who was also responsible for welcoming visitors from various countries, said to him helplessly:
"The Red Sand Scorpion's attitude has been getting worse and worse recently... Don't you think that after his puppet business in Loulan Kingdom got bigger and bigger, he started to become a little arrogant, Shisui?"
"He has always been like this, he is used to it." Uchiha Shisui shook his head, saying that he did not care about the attitude of the Red Sand Scorpion, "What's more, as the leading puppet master in the ninja world, he is also a It is normal for the true controller of Loulan Dragon Vein to have a higher level of energy than before when he acted alone."
"no problem?"
"The Yondaime-sama is still here." Uchiha Shisui put his hands behind his head and said with a relaxed expression: "As long as the Red Sand Scorpion has not been blown away by the chakra of the dragon vein, you should know that he is close to challenging The fact is that the order established by the fourth generation of adults still has a long way to go.”
"That's true."
Yahiko nodded, accepting this fact without any pressure.
Not long after the Loulan Kingdom's team entered the embassy in Dawn City, another seemingly powerful caravan also arrived in Dawn City. The tall man at the head got out of the car and said, While he quickly warned the men around him:
"Although the Dawn Meeting is held temporarily, the business opportunities contained in it are definitely no less than any previous projects we have completed by exploiting loopholes in the rules. Please do a good job in the logistics, storage and sale of subsequent products. I will I don’t want to see any description of growth exceeding 20% in next quarter’s financial report... Do you understand?”
"I will do my best, Kakuzu-sama."
Feeling the black tentacles that penetrated his collar and began to trace at his heart, the man who was grabbed by Kakuzu swallowed hard and replied in a loud voice.
"It's good to know... Go and report to the people from the Akatsuki organization. After all, they are the nominal hosts of this dawn meeting. If you want to do business in Akatsuki City, you need to contact and communicate with their people. "
Kakuzu patted his subordinate's shoulder hard, and then strode towards Uchiha Shisui and Yahiko, who were looking at him speechlessly.
"I said, you really want to make a lot of money all the time, Kakuzu."
Yahiko and Kakuzu, who no longer wore the Taki Ninja Village Rebel Ninja forehead protector, both said hello, and then looked at the members of the Chamber of Commerce behind them who began to unload the convoy, and said in wonder:
"Obviously I just delivered the news of the Dawn Meeting to the members of your Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Can you come here today with so many products?"
“Only those who are prepared at all times will not miss the fleeting business opportunities.”
Kakuzu glanced at Yahiko, who had an easy-going attitude, and then at Uchiha Shisui, who looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, and said hello to him with a smile:
"Ah, isn't this Lord Uchiha Shisui of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? As you can see, I am now a serious businessman, and I have always abided by the rules that you Mizukage-sama and I have agreed upon. Why bother? Are you looking at me with such cold eyes?"
"The so-called abiding by the rules means that every time we finally close a legal loophole that you use for personal gain, you immediately use another legal loophole to make a lot of money, Kakuzu?"
Although Uchiha Shisui has not served as a Kirigakure monitor in direct contact with Kakuzu, he has heard complaints about Kakuzu's various behaviors from people such as Mikigaki Kisame and Onito Mangetsu who have done this job. Naturally, this guy who often caused his colleagues to work overtime and wander between black and white would not have a good look on his face.
"I can't help it. Who told your Mizukage-sama to make this agreement with me?"
Kakudu showed a playful smile, and Jie Jie said with a strange smile:
"He will not hold me accountable for taking advantage of the loopholes in the newly introduced law to make huge profits in business, but at the same time, each loophole and each method is only allowed to be used once. Doesn't this force me to keep looking for those things you are doing? Are there loopholes and flaws that were not discovered when the law was formulated? From a certain perspective, I am also a colleague who contributes to your Kirigakure reform, Uchiha Shisui."
Uchiha Shisui frowned, but for a while he couldn't think of any good way to refute.
Although it is true that Kirigakure's executives responsible for monitoring the Kakuzu Chamber of Commerce have been tortured a lot, the legal reforms related to economics and commerce have been made up for by the repeated impact of Kakuzu, the business genius, and many things that were taken for granted or expected. As a result, the foreign trade of the Kingdom of Water has become more prosperous. From this aspect, Kakuzu is indeed a very useful tool for checking and filling leaks...
"By the way, remember to inform your Mizukage-sama that I am almost halfway through the process of integrating the underground black markets around the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, but if I want to go further, I still need some funds. For extra support, remember to ask him to send money to my Chamber of Commerce..."
When passing by Uchiha Shisui, Kakuzu seemed to have remembered something, turned his face and said this to him, and then walked towards the embassy with a strange smile.
Near the embassy, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who came to stay with doubts because of Kaguya Rei's words yesterday, watched the two members of the Akatsuki organization who had killed many people in the history they knew become what they are now. , couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and looked at each other.
