Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 54 can be summarized in one point: poverty.

Seeing that Nagato didn't seem to believe him, Kakuzu asked.

"You don't believe me? Then let me ask you, why do you think the Land of Rain would become a battlefield for those great powers?"

Before Nagato could answer, Yahiko preemptively replied.

"Because our Rain Country is caught between those great powers, and those great powers are all bad people. They don't want to wage war in their own countries, so they came to our country."

Kaku ignored Yahiko and instead looked at Nagato and asked again.

Do you think so too?

Isn't that why?

Kakuzu laughed upon hearing Nagato's reply.

"Yes, and no, let me ask you another question: Why do you think those major powers start wars? What are their purposes in starting these wars?"

This involves the three kids' blind spots in their knowledge. Although they have experienced a lot and seem much more mature than their peers in order to survive in the war-torn country, they are still just children after all.

"Judging from your expressions, I know you don't know, so let me tell you."

Kakuzu explained.

"The reason these major powers wage war is naturally for the resources and wealth of other countries. There may be other reasons as well, such as using external conflicts to quell internal conflicts and using war to eliminate dissidents. But after defeating the other side, they will definitely want something. The loser has to hand over their things to the winner, whether it is land, materials, or something else. But to put it bluntly, in the end, they are fighting for money."

"Money!" *3

At this moment, the three little devils were completely absorbed by what Kakuzu had said.

"That's right, it's money. So money is a very important part of this world. With money, you can do a lot of things."

Kakuzu looked out the window and said.

"For example, if Amegakure were rich, they could train a large number of ninjas. If Amegakure were rich, they could build shelters for refugees instead of them having to hide in the streets and alleys of Amegakure to avoid the rain."

If Rain Village were wealthy, everyone would be able to eat their fill without having to fight over such a tiny bit of food.

If the Rain Village had money, they could buy off powerful ninjas to fight for them. If the Rain Village had money…

Kakuzu listed various possibilities and pointed out various problems of Amegakure. All of these problems can be attributed to one point: Amegakure is poor and desperately poor.

But Yahiko, that stubborn guy, still wouldn't give up.

"But, sir, so what if you're rich? Once I become a ninja, surely I can rob you of your money?"

"Hey! Kid, you've finally hit the nail on the head."

Kakuzu revealed a wicked smile.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you rob a rich person, especially someone who is both rich and powerful?"

Seeing Kakuzu's wicked grin, Yahiko couldn't help but swallow hard.

What will be the outcome?

"The consequence is that person will put a lot of money on your head as a bounty, your village will come to capture you, you will become a rogue ninja, and many people will hunt you down because your head can be exchanged for a lot of money. That person will even issue missions to all the major ninja villages, specifically asking for your head. At that time, all the major ninja villages will send ninjas to hunt you down. At that time, there will be no place for you in the entire ninja world."

"Ah! Don't chop off my head to sell for money!"

Yahiko screamed, then curled up in the corner and hugged his head.

"Hahaha, kid, what are you afraid of? Your head is worthless now, no one will come to chop it off."

After laughing a few times, Kakuzu continued to add.

"And another thing, why do you think that becoming a rich and powerful person means you can't become a strong person? Being strong and being rich are not mutually exclusive, okay?"

"Just imagine, if you were not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely wealthy—rich enough to own all the shops in the Land of Rain, rich enough that everyone buys their food and clothes from you—and you were also incredibly powerful, so powerful that even Hanzo the Salamander wouldn't be a match for you, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you wanted?"

Nagato was tempted by Kakuzu's words.

Yahiko, who was standing nearby, also felt that Kakuzu's words made some sense.

"So, sir, how can we become rich?"

"What? You want to make money?"

Yahiko nodded.

"With money, can we change this country, or even change the world?"

"Hahahaha, you guys are quite the daydreamers. Go to sleep, anything can happen in your dreams."

When Yahiko saw Kakuzu mocking him, he was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Ugh! That wretched old man! We'll definitely become rich and powerful in the future, and then we'll change the Land of Rain!"

He didn't pay any attention; he glanced out the window and saw that the rain had stopped.

"Alright kids, the rain has stopped, you can go now."

Nagato stood up and tugged at Yahiko's sleeve.

"Thank you, uncle. We're leaving now."

Seeing this, Yahiko also thanked him honestly. After all, although the uncle was a bit sharp-tongued, he had given them food and let them stay here to take shelter from the rain, so he was actually a good person.

Jiao Du shook his head as he watched the three kids leave.

"Heh, kid, try your best to survive in this cruel ninja world. If you can really survive, then maybe I can talk to the boss and let you make money with him."

As he spoke, he looked towards the direction outside Amegakure.

"By the way, when will the boss and the others arrive?"

Before he returned, he received a message from Yidaqi saying that the boss and Izuna were coming.

He didn't quite understand why his boss and the others had come here. Everything was wet, the war wasn't over, and there were disaster victims everywhere. Even if they wanted to do business, now was clearly not a good time.

However, none of that mattered. He knew his boss's strength very well. Let alone a small Amegakure village, even if he were told that the two of them had come to participate in the war, Izuna-sensei was still very unhappy with Hanzo the Salamander and planned to teach him a lesson...

"Wait, could it really be like that?"

Kakuzu suddenly felt as if he had discovered the truth.

What, you think this is outrageous?

There's nothing outrageous about it. Although Izuna-sama usually seems unassuming and enjoys playing chess and fishing in his spare time, he knows very well that Izuna-sama is an Uchiha, and the younger brother of the ninja world's Asura, Uchiha Madara.

As is well known, the Uchiha clan craves battle, especially the challenge of strong opponents.

Izuna had nothing to do at the Chiba Grand Hotel for two reasons: firstly, he was well aware of the gap between himself and the boss; secondly, he felt that no one was worthy of his challenge.
