Suo Makoto, I'll Kill You!

Makoto and Kakuzu spent most of the day arriving at a small town by the sea.

This place has already left the Land of Rice.

During most of the day, they also encountered two small towns, but Kakuzu kept stopping, so Makoto could only continue walking with him.

Until they came to this small town in front of them.

It is said to be a small town, but in fact it is just a larger pier – obviously, this is a temporary destination chosen by Kakuzu to prevent Makoto from cheating.

And this half a day obviously has to be counted in the three days.

Even though Kakuzu seems to care about nothing but money, there is a reason why this guy can live to be over ninety years old.

He is not stupid.

However, Makoto has always been indifferent. A seaside town is a seaside town, and this in itself does not affect his plan.

After putting on simple makeup, the two of them still walked into this lively dock town as ninjas.

The townspeople in the town obviously didn't know that the two figures were passing by them, but when they saw the ninja approaching, the townspeople who were shouting subconsciously lowered their voices.

The townspeople who were originally walking on the same road as the two people also subconsciously moved away.

...Except for a few big countries and special cases like the Land of Grass, most people still have misunderstandings about ninjas. There is still a long way to go to resolve this misunderstanding.

Originally, Konoha finally made a start, but again, it was... Take it easy.

Makoto seemed careless on the surface, but in fact he was constantly sensing everything around him, looking for useful information.

"Hahahahaha, let me tell you, the girl from the day before yesterday was so hot that my waist almost broke..."

"Uncle, believe me, we will definitely make money! As long as we can buy a good big boat, we can harvest more every day! We will be prosperous soon! Look at your broken boat, brothers are exhausted every day I only earn so little to survive, when can I get a wife..."

"It's easy for you to say that. As long as you can buy a good big boat... your uncle has accumulated this little money all his life. Are you just going to waste it like this?"

"Hey, today's catch is pretty good, and it's also cheap."

"Who says it isn't? The catch here has always been very good, but the boats are too small... Hey, the boats from those big factories are good, but they are too expensive..."

As a dock town, the largest number of people in it are naturally fishermen and sailors.

When there are more sailors, there will naturally be more technical workers and taverns – even in modern times, drifting on the sea is a very boring thing, let alone sailors in the world of Naruto. These strong men received the money and disembarked, and they definitely wanted to spend it.

Makoto walked from one end of this dock town to the other and gained a basic understanding of this town.

Kakuzu: "Okay, when will you start making money...A lot of people are looking at us, it's really disgusting."

As a senior ninja, Kakuzu instinctively hates crowded places, because the more crowded the place, the easier it is for his information to be leaked.

But now, he is still following Makoto obediently - it seems that he did lose a lot before, and he no longer even cares about this taboo.

This ninja, who had been eliminated by modern times, subconsciously wanted to find some answers from Makoto.

...Makoto knew his predicament, so he deliberately proposed such a bet.

Imitating Siberian bankers to rob banks is obviously the fastest, but obviously, this is not the answer Kakuzu wants.

Now Makoto is organizing alliances everywhere, and everyone dares to rob big banks. The bankers are 100% willing to pay high prices and invite the Five Great Hidden Villages to come and kill him.

As for small banks... it would be better for Kakuzu to do a few missions to rob a small bank.

If Makoto could use his own identity, it would be easy. He could simply write down his name and find a big pawn shop, and he could easily borrow hundreds of millions of ryos.

Then go and ask the group of chaebol gathered in Konoha, and you will definitely be able to find a few friends from small banks who need overnight loans. If you do it a few more times, it won't be too difficult to make up ten million ryos.

You can even make a little money.

But Kakuzu obviously does not have such human resources.

Facing Kakuzu's urging, Makoto asked slowly.

"Kakuzu-san, what do you think of the stock market?"

"That's garbage, the most evil and stupid place in the world!"

Although it is still relatively primitive, the Naruto world does have a stock market...it does look like he has been cheated by the stock market.

Kakuzu is the most traditional ninja.

He had the ability to kill people and wanted to make money, but he couldn't keep up with the times and ended up having to work as a thug.

The two of them continued walking and happened to pass by a small restaurant. Makoto touched his belly and said to Kakuzu.

"It's already this time... How about we go inside and have a meal first?"

"The money spent on meals should also be counted as one thousand ryos!"

"Alright, not a problem."

So Makoto walked in with Kakuzu.

There's nothing special about this restaurant, it's just a common mom-and-pop restaurant.

Although the store is small, it is clean.

"I'll add two more eggs...what about you?"

"No need to add any messy things! All I need is soldier pills and cold water!"

The soldier pills here refer to military food from the Warring States Period. It does have the effect of replenishing physical strength, is the taste...

Kakuzu refused sternly.

Kakuzu likes money and can play it himself. Over the years, he must have accumulated a lot of money. But when it comes to consumption...this guy basically has none.

He can't call him a miser.

From Makoto's point of view, he simply likes the feeling of making money – people always have to have an emotional sustenance, and Angle's sustenance is money, because he knows that money will never betray him.

What kind of ninja do you think you are? You should have taught yourself accounting and then gone to work at the National Tax Bureau.

They must like a talent like Kakuzu.

Whoever dares to miss a point will be immediately struck hard by Kakuzu.

With all these thoughts in mind, Makoto's plain noodles and eggs came quickly.

Surprisingly, this side tastes pretty good.

Makoto continued to chat with Kakuzu while eating noodles.

"This store is good...if we can get some funds, we should be able to make more."

"Don't tell me about catering." Kakuzu's face was always covered by a scarf, but Makoto could still feel his anger, "Obviously he looked like an honest person, but in the end... I asked myself that I didn't feel sorry for them, but the chef turned out to be... He ran away with the money and the front desk..."

What happened to Brother Dong?

T/N: 'Brother Dong' is a title for a princess of a tribe, there aren't known details about her in English

No wonder Kakuzu is so crazy, this guy has really fallen into a lot of traps.

Makoto wanted to inquire more about Kakuzu's overturning history, but considering this man's character, he endured it.

Makoto ate the noodles very slowly. As soon as he finished eating, Kakuzu's patience was already exhausted.

"You guy...are you trying to entertain me? When will you start?"

"I'll start now, calm down..."

Finally, when Kakuzu's patience reached its limit, Makoto started to work.

The charges in this small shop are quite reasonable, a bowl of noodles is 55 ryos, plus two eggs, the total is 85 ryos.

– Kakuzu still didn't choose to eat noodles after all.

Makoto walked out of the small restaurant and took Kakuzu to the stationery store, where he bought a large pack of paper and some necessary painting tools.

These papers and drawing tools add up to a total of 700 ryos.

Including the previous 85 ryos and the thousand ryos given by Kakuzu, Makoto had already spent 785 ryos.

But he hasn't done anything yet.

Kakuzu saw this, and he were almost becoming anxious kings.

To him, one thousand ryos is really just a drop in the bucket. But seeing Makoto spending money recklessly made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You bastard..."

"Before the ninja goes on a mission, he must buy all the knives and explosive tags, right?"

Kakuzu reluctantly accepted this reason.

"Even so... hurry up and take action!"

Unexpectedly, Makoto handed the pen to Kakuzu.

"We're going to draw something next, but I can't draw it, so it's up to you."

Veins popped out on Kakuzu's forehead.

Of course he can draw.

When ninjas go on missions, they often need to note down the appearance of some special targets and draw them, so sketching is a very important skill.

People like Sai simply use painting as a means of fighting.

– Naruto is not a normal ninja.

A bad-tempered guy like Kakuzu has been wandering alone for decades. If he can survive to this day, he must have acquired all the necessary skills... not to mention that he himself can perform surgical-grade precision cutting and sewing on the human body.

It's just Makoto's attitude...

Clang!

The Bodo sword and Kakuzu's shuriken collided heavily.

Without any surprise, Kakuzu's shuriken was knocked away. His right hand was numb and almost unconscious.

"Come on, this is making money."

"And you've spent almost eight hundred ryos."

Makoto put away the Bodo sword with a smile.

"You have been trying to anger me from the beginning! You are the worst person in the world. I have begun to regret it. Why should I believe you..."

"Why are you talking so much? Will you make any money? If you give up, the eight hundred ryos will be thrown into the ocean."

Kakuzu was silent.

After all, he still couldn't bear to part with the eight hundred ryos that had been spent.

So he sat down and began to draw under Makoto's guidance.

If it's just painting, that's it. But Makoto's demands were so many that Kakuzu immediately became angry.

And what he asked him to draw was clearly...

"This... what on earth is this... you bastard... asked me to draw!"

"A book, what else is it?" Makoto looked at him innocently, "I just turned around and I have determined that the sailors in this town are very bored on the boat and need spiritual comfort. But we can't bring too many women on board... we can't even let them flush, right? That's too cruel."

"It's not...this thing you asked me to draw...its plot..."

"Ah, it's just Metamorphosis, nothing particularly weird... As long as it makes money, isn't it?"

T/N: 'Metamorphosis' by Shindo L and it's a hentai... what the fuck

Under Makoto's temptation, Kakuzu finally bit the bullet and finished the notebook.

...Must kill him...Must kill him...The humiliation he gave me...He actually asked me to draw porn...

Kakuzu has already made up his mind like this in his heart.
