Chapter 53 Finding a Backer
"Everyone knows that's such a simple truth!"
That's it?
That's it?
Kyosuke and the other three were furious. "We've been pretending to be good students for so long, and this is all you say?"
So they beat up Oniichiro, and soon he was bruised and battered.
Mimori said fiercely, "You'd better say something useful, or I'll have Kyosuke use the Thousand Years of Death."
Kyosuke laughed in exasperation: "Why don't you use it yourself? I don't want to get my hands dirty!"
Upon hearing their words, Oniichiro immediately put his hands behind his back to protect his buttocks.
“I’ll tell you, I’m planning to resell grain. As you all know, whether it’s arms or medicine, large-scale production requires sufficient manpower and technological reserves, which we don’t have.”
"But grain is different. It has a low barrier to entry, many sources, low degree of monopoly, and relatively cheap prices, which is just right for us to get started."
Chisuke shook his head: "It's not us, it's you. We don't have any money."
Kyosuke nodded and shamelessly said, "That's right. You handle the money-making, and we'll take care of the spending. That's called division of labor, which helps improve efficiency."
Hearing this, Oniichiro was not surprised at all. He snorted and said, "Hmph! Don't even think about slacking off. To speculate on grain, you need to know the exact time of the war. Otherwise, if you buy too early, your cash flow will run out, and if you buy too late, the price of grain will be too high, and you won't make any money at all."
Ooka Shin began by saying, "Our Akatsuki organization is just a weak organization, and we love peace. We have no power to instigate a war in the ninja world."
Shameless!
The other four all looked at Ooka Shin and cast disdainful glances at him.
Is the Akatsuki organization weak?
Loves peace?
Do you think we don't watch anime?!
Then, Mikami said, "I am only a genin. I have no access to such secrets as starting a war."
Kyosuke shook his head: "I'm just a Chunin. Even if Minato Namikaze knew the secret, according to the rules, he wouldn't tell me."
Seeing everyone shifting blame, Chisuke also wanted to shirk responsibility and said, "I'm just a Chunin too..."
The other four suddenly stared at Chisuke, their eyes filled with murderous intent: "Think it over before you speak."
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Chisuke swallowed hard and reorganized his thoughts.
"I am the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast. Before the Sand Village starts a war, they will definitely make me prepare, so I can roughly predict when the Sand Village will launch the war."
At this point, Chisuke added, "Of course, I don't know if other ninja villages will start a war first."
Kyosuke thought for a moment and said, "Given Konoha's style, they probably won't fire the first shot. Kirigakure is far from the mainland, so if the situation on the mainland is unclear, they probably won't be the first to start a war either. Iwagakure's Tsuchikage is cunning and shrewd, probably thinking of reaping the benefits, so it's unlikely they'll be the first to start a war."
Kiichiro shrugged: "Alright, the Raikage is warlike and might indeed be the first to start the war. I have some connections in the Land of Lightning and will focus on gathering intelligence on this. In general, as long as we estimate the date of the war between the Sand Village and the Cloud Village, the success rate of reselling grain is very high."
After a good night's sleep, Oniichiro got up and went to find his butler, Mikuri Tomokazu.
"Is the gift ready?"
"Young Master, everything is ready."
"Set off."
Kiichiro entered the carriage, which was laden with gifts. Tomokazu Mikuri jumped onto the carriage and brandished his whip.
"drive!"
The carriage slowly started moving, and half a day later it arrived at a scenic manor.
"Kurasaka Kiichiro, come to pay a visit to Lord Nishio Takeki."
"My lord has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
Kiichiro followed a manor guard into the manor and saw the pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and lakes inside. He thought to himself, "This Takeki Nishio really knows how to enjoy life."
Kiichiro also sensed that, in addition to the guards on the surface, there were also some ninjas lying in ambush, constantly observing him.
A moment later, in a magnificent hall, Takeki Nishio sat casually, received Kiichiro, and put on a fake smile.
"Hehe, I've long heard that the Kurasaka family has produced a brilliant young master who has opened many hotels in the Moon Kingdom. Meeting you today, you are indeed a young hero. Hehe."
Sure enough, the more money I made during this period, the more people would covet it.
That's why Kiichiro came here to seek out Takeshi Nishio as his backer.
Kiichiro knelt properly, a warm smile on his face.
“My lord, although I am young, I know that a wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. This time, I have come to seek refuge with you.”
At that moment, Tomokazu Mikuri opened the box in his hand, revealing a golden lion inside.
After glancing at the size of the golden lion, Takeki Nishio was satisfied, and his smile became more genuine.
"Alright, alright, go back and do your work without worry, no one will bother you."
"Thank you, sir."
Everything went smoothly. Nishio Takeki was a confidant of the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and with his endorsement, Kiichiro's money was secure and he didn't have to worry about it being robbed.
After leaving the manor, Tomokazu Mikuri asked, "Young Master, where are we going next?"
Kiichiro didn't get on the car, but said, "I need you to go back to the Moon Kingdom to raise funds. I have a great need for you. I have to leave for a while."
Just as Mikuri Tomokazu was about to ask more questions, Oniichiro had already disappeared. He could only sigh and drive the carriage away.
Kiichiro also went to the Land of the Moon to kill Hiroki Kuroda and avenge his parents in this life.
According to intelligence, Hiroki Kuroda has been in a seaside town in the Land of the Moon these past few days. Kiichiro is in a hurry to leave because he is afraid that if he is too late, Hiroki Kuroda will leave.
Then, we'll have to spend a lot of money to hire ninjas to track them down.
Two days later, in the Land of the Moon, in an ordinary courtyard, Hiroki Kuroda and several of his men were anxiously waiting when they suddenly saw two figures appear on the wall, which startled them.
"Who goes there!"
Kuroda Hiroki felt relieved when he saw the other person's headband, and said to his subordinates, "Don't be afraid, it's a Kirigakure ninja."
Two Mist Ninja jumped down from the wall and gave a brief self-introduction.
"Kirigakure Ninja, Kushimaru Kurihara"
"The Hidden Mist Ninja, Mikami."
Mimori felt helpless. After completing the mission with Kisame Hoshigaki, he had just returned to the village when the village gave him both good news and bad news.
The good news is that Mikami has been promoted to Chunin; the bad news is that he has a new mission.
At that time, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, jumped directly onto the table and gave orders to Kushimaru Kurihara and Yamori.
"Kuroda Hiroki of the Moon Country has formed a small force to resist the Cloud Ninja's invasion of the Moon Country. He contacted us some time ago, hoping to get our support. Your mission is to bring him some supplies and at the same time eliminate the Cloud Ninja in the Moon Country to relieve their pressure."
Misato thought to himself that the purpose was probably not just that. The smell of gunpowder in the ninja world was getting stronger and stronger. The Mizukage's goal was probably to establish a base on the continent and make preparations for the war to come.
After handing the sealed scroll containing the supplies to Kuroda Hiroki, Kurihara Kushimaru asked, "Where's the information on the Cloud Ninja? I can't wait to taste their blood."
Kuroda Hiroki's entire family was killed by the Cloud Ninja, and he harbors a deep-seated hatred for them. Upon hearing this, he immediately produced a map.
"The Cloud Ninja have three strongholds in the Land of the Moon, namely here, here, and here. Each stronghold has more than a dozen ninjas, but I haven't been able to find out their specific strength."
Kushimaru Kurishari looked at the map and let out a sharp laugh: "Hehe, that's enough, let's set off now!"
