First, Let's Sign a Sale

Makoto found that things seemed to be much easier than he imagined.

The Fourth Ninja World War was not for nothing after all. The prestige of killing the Yodaime Raikage still has some effect.

But that's fine too.

Anyway, no one stopped him, so he continued to do it.

The degree of completion of the plan has never been considered high.

They were in a hurry before, so many things were done very rough. But now there is still a little time, Makoto naturally wants to keep improving.

So after signaling everyone to stay calm, Makoto took Ryusei and Mui into the secret room of Hozuki Castle for a secret talk.

After the three sat down, Makoto chose to be blunt.

"I know, you are a little confused about the situation, and you are full of doubts. –

"Even still hate me... But it doesn't matter, what we are going to talk about now is a more serious topic. –

"Money."

Makoto took out a stack of money from his pocket.

Seeing money, Ryusei's eyes lit up immediately.

To be honest, it really doesn't cost much to rob farmers. They not only hide money from one place to the other, but also deceive people. Getting entangled with them is the second stupidest thing in the world.

The first stupid thing is to collect taxes from the rich.

Ryusei was very troubled by this, but there was nothing he could do.

Due to wars and excessive taxes, the Land of Grass has the most grass. You can't let him go to the middle of the plains to ask for money, right?

When he first debuted, he also wanted to make money standing up. And now... he only wants small money now.

"May I ask, Ryusei-san, what is your monthly income?"

Ryusei is thin and dark-skinned. At night, as long as he doesn't open his mouth, he can naturally become invisible.

Hearing Makoto's question now, a little red appeared on his face.

But Makoto still wanted to ask.

"One hundred million?"

Ryusei shook his head.

"What about ten million?"

Ryusei shook his head in embarrassment again.

"There must be a million, right?"

Ryusei's eyes wandered.

"Okay, I won't ask."

The specific amount is actually not important, the important thing is to induce Ryusei's greed.

For some problems, if you don't think about them, they can still be regarded as impure.

And when really started to think about it...

So Makoto looked at Mui.

Compared with Ryusei, the warden who has been in the prison all year round has much fairer skin, and even gives people a lifeless and pale feeling.

He didn't tie his hair up, and his long black hair fell casually on his shoulders.

"What about you, Mui-san?"

"I am a city lord, Hokage-sama."

Mui reminded.

Makoto nodded knowingly.

Although Hozuki Castle is not an advanced private prison, as Mui said, he is the lord of the city.

For him, income is just a number most of the time.

Although both are Kusa-nins, he is different from Ryusei.

The income is different, and the pursuit of both parties is naturally different.

Fortunately, no matter what they want, Konoha can give them.

He first looked at Ryusei.

"What's going on in Kusagakure now, no one knows better than Ryusei-san. But have you ever thought about becoming the hero of Kusagakure?"

Ryusei responded to Makoto with a weak wry smile.

"Hokage-sana, you really think highly of me...what can I do..."

Like most ninjas, Ryusei couldn't understand the equity contract that Makoto gave him.

As a small person, he couldn't figure out what Makoto was planning. At that time, he only knew that if he did not pledge his allegiance, his head would definitely fall to the ground.

Not following Makoto = immediate death.

After following Makoto, he can still hang out for a while.

Now even if you run away (being caught back), you will be killed, and if you start an uprising, you will be killed, and it's also death. Is it okay to die for state affairs?

Si guo yi.

T/N: 'Si guo yi' is an internet buzzword in China, it stands for 'すごい' (sugoi) because it sounds similar

He just wants to live, other things are really... Of course, he knows that he can't control those Kusa ninjas gathered outside. As long as Makoto leaves for ten minutes, the group of people below will turn back immediately.

How could it be possible for a guy whose actual strength is only elite Chunin...

"Did you really...haven't thought about becoming a hero?"

Facing Ryusei's wry smile, Makoto asked again.

"Hero... Since we are a ninja, the word hero has nothing to do with us from the beginning, right?"

"Do you really think so? Don't you just think about it for an hour, a minute, or a second, and become a hero?"

At this moment, Ryusei's face was so bitter that it's already dripping water.

"Hokage-sama, I am not afraid to tell you. I have been weak since I was a child and have no talent. I have worked hard for so many years, and I am almost middle-aged, but only a Chunin. –

"I think you should know that there must be no further room for a man like me. –

"I heard that in Konoha, many geniuses become Jounin at a few years old. Compared with them, I am... Even they rarely become heroes, let alone me."

This is indeed true.

But Makoto shook his head.

"No, it's not that the strong are heroes – whether they are strong or weak, as long as they do things beyond the limits of their abilities for the people they want to protect, they are heroes! –

"Ryusei-san, I know you won't agree with these words. But I still want to say, you have to live, you have to go through the long night. –

"You have to fight against those unfair fates, and work tirelessly for others. –

"Then, you puff out your chest and tell yourself that you had another fulfilling day. –

"You will tell me about the obstacles you have encountered in doing good, and complain that fate has always refused to favor you. –

"But it doesn't matter, I will listen to everything from you. –

"Because you work so hard, of course you can complain. –

"Only in this way will you not be overwhelmed by the misery of this land, and you will find peace in your life. –

"Remember, Ryusei-san, we once fought against an unfair fate together, and we won! –

"This land contains too much pain, what we have to do now is not to be overwhelmed by it, but to go beyond it!"

No one ever told Ryusei about this.

No one would say that to a Chunin who is ugly and has no future.

At that moment, Ryusie felt that he was valued.

It's a very special feeling.

The long-dead dream flickered in the dark fate like a candle.

"As expected of Hokage-sama, what you said...is really beautiful. –

"But I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Makoto stopped his self-pity.

"Actually, it's not just you, even I have encountered a lot of setbacks and confusion. Some problems even made me so painful that I couldn't sleep at night. –

"Can this version eat your own population? I think the transformation is too troublesome. –

"Why is the output of criminals completely negative? Don't they pay taxes? –

"Can the People's Federation clean up its own planet in the later stage? There are too many unemployed people. –

"Slaves are not happy, how to make slaves happy? –

"Why are forced labor and processing mutually exclusive? –

"Isn't it too wasteful to throw away the body after forced labor? –

"I think the edible species is delicious and juicy, but there are not enough flavors, such as adding some spicy garlic for self-heating. –

"Does the blue planet have an origin? I think the blue planet is so cute."

Makoto talked a lot, and Ryusei's head gradually became empty.

Obviously, he couldn't understand it at all, but he also had a feeling of ignorance.

Makoto knew that the time had come, so he asked Ryusei to take out the equity contract again. And he himself took out a cashier's check.

"I know you are full of confusion and lack of self-confidence now, how about this – let's start from now, from now on, and do a small thing. –

"This is Fire Nation banknotes of 18 billion ryos. –

"And what you have in your hand is the contract to sell the Land of Grass. –

"Sign it, and you will bear endless infamy. But believe me, this will also leave an endless legacy to you and the descendants of the Land of Grass. Maybe no one understands you at the beginning, and even curses you. But they eventually will know that you gave them everything. –

"You will be a true hero. –

"Some people are doomed to be unknown, and even bear a lifetime of infamy. However, it is undeniable that their sacrifices have left endless possibilities for future generations – we call them invisible guardians."

Ryusei never went to school, if it wasn't for learning ninjutsu, he probably wouldn't even know the words.

Like many illiterate people, he took it for granted that having more words is justified.

After Makoto said so much, he seemed to understand but half understood, but felt that a door to a new world had been opened before his eyes.

A hero...

Which boy doesn't want to be a hero?

After limping Ryusei with a few words, Makoto looked at Mui at the side again.

As a plot boss, Mui is quite intelligent under normal circumstances, especially since he is the city lord himself.

With a grassroots like Ryusei, you can talk about dreams, but with Mui, you can only talk about women and money.

But Mui does not buy this trick.

Fortunately, he is a son-con.

Therefore, Makoto made a condition that he could not refuse.

"Interested in sending your son to Konoha school? –

"Do you want your son to learn ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu? –

"If it's ninjutsu or taijutsu, I can write a letter of recommendation for you. If it's genjutsu... If you will trust me, I can teach your son myself. Anyway, in the next few years, I will personally teach the genjutsu to the Yondaime's child, one is to teach, and the other is to lead. –

"In terms of genjutsu, I also have some experience in asking myself."

Mui was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and smiled.

"Then... I will trouble you."

Let the child stay in a small place like the Land of Grass, accept the third-rate inheritance, and at most inherit his position as the city lord; or let him go to the world's No. 1 Hidden Village to study and make friends with the son of the Yondaime?

For a father, this does not seem like a very difficult choice.

Even though he knew that after reaching an agreement with Makoto, it would be very difficult for him to stay in the Land of Grass.

He didn't understand Makoto's plan, but the things that made the Hokage promise so much were bound to be not small.

He made such a large situation, just to start a company?

How could that be!?

But this opportunity... might be the best opportunity his son ever had.

So far, both sides have negotiated.

Makoto knew that his time was running out, so he immediately discussed the details with the two of them.

Kakashi, you must wait a little longer. The longer you delay, the better for Konoha!

Taking advantage of both of them agreeing, Makoto made persistent efforts and began to push the two to complete the first deal of United Fruit together.

Nii Yugito: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
