Over the next few days, Hyuga Kaze used the Hollow World Walking and Flying Thunder God Technique in turn to travel between major cities in the Land of Fire, changing his appearance and disguising himself as a big merchant to buy up large quantities of supplies.

From grains, oils, cotton, and linen to steel and coal, Hyuga Kaze spared no expense in acquiring all the materials needed for the development of Yukinin Village.

Of all the items he acquired, grain was the most abundant. His training room was now piled high with all sorts of supplies, leaving even Hinata Kaze speechless with astonishment.

Under his foolish, extravagant spending spree, prices in the Land of Fire skyrocketed like wild horses in just a few days.

The residents of the big cities in the Land of Fire were shocked to find that many of the grain stores in the city had closed down, and the remaining ones that were open were charging exorbitant prices!

Especially in the capital city, where resources are most abundant, Hyuga Kaze goes on the shopping spree the most.

Residents of the country are now complaining that the prices of everyday items they used to take for granted have increased several times over in just two days.

And Hinata Kaze, the one who started all of this, is not very happy right now either.

He originally thought he was already very rich, with more than 100 million ryo from Konoha and Kurutani Castle, and could squander it as he pleased.

However, after two days of purchasing supplies, he had very few banknotes left.

What angered him even more was that he was honestly buying things, yet someone still tried to sabotage him!

Hinata Kaze stopped in a dark alley, a cold smile playing on his lips. "I originally planned to buy supplies as a normal merchant, but instead, I was met with unscrupulous attempts to steal them. I'm not pretending anymore; I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm a master!"

Hinata Kaze turned around and saw two men in black emerge from the shadows, their long swords gleaming coldly.

They approached step by step, grinning maliciously, and said, "You walked into this dead end by yourself. Quickly hand over the silver notes you have on you, and tell us clearly where you hid the supplies you bought!"

"Lord Haneda instructed us to use one hundred taels to buy your silver notes and supplies. We'll use that one hundred taels to buy you a mat to wrap your body!"

To the surprise of the two men in black, the surrounded merchant was not afraid at all. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his lips as he quickly walked towards them!

......

After dealing with the two clueless fools and forcing them to reveal the so-called Lord Haneda, Hinata Kaze began a deep reflection. Compared to these nobles and wealthy merchants, he had been too kind, even using money to buy supplies.

Fortunately, they sent someone to remind him that ninjas are unpredictable, so he needed to broaden his thinking!

The result of Hyuga Kaze's innovative thinking was that the Land of Fire lost a wealthy but foolish businessman and gained a phantom thief organization that acted on behalf of heaven.

Within two days, the warehouses of the Fire Country's daimyo and dozens of other noble and wealthy families in the Fire Country were looted, causing a huge upheaval in the Fire Country.

The massive loss of resources has caused prices to rise significantly across the Land of Fire, making it extremely difficult for Konoha Village to prepare supplies to support the front lines.

From the daimyo and nobles to the high-ranking officials of Konoha, the Land of Fire was filled with wailing!

After emptying the last warehouse, Hinata Kaze felt a wave of exhaustion.

Although moving these gold, silver, and grain supplies didn't cause him much loss, he simply used his Bagua Palm technique to create a large hand to transfer the goods.

But this kind of repetitive, mechanical work made him very uncomfortable!

Moreover, the Snow Village's warehouse is already full, and new warehouses are under urgent construction. The training room is also almost full, and Hyuga Kaze feels he should stop.

Having amassed so much wealth and resources, Hinata Kaze felt utterly indifferent to money. He now truly understood what it meant for money to become just a number when it reached a certain point.

In less than a week, he had achieved over a hundred small goals, which made Hinata Kaze feel a little anxious.

Fortunately, the sense of honor of acting on behalf of Heaven overcame Hinata Kaze's inner turmoil.

In order to act on behalf of Heaven, Hyuga Kaze retrieved a great deal of supplies for the people from the pot-bellied nobles and unscrupulous merchants of the Land of Fire.

For Hyuga Kaze, taking what they plundered from the people of the Land of Fire and using it for the people of the Snow Village and the Land of Snow was a form of taking from the people and using it for the people.

Hinata Kaze has always felt that in the name of justice and to uphold righteousness, sometimes one has to be a little more flexible.

Snow Village

When Hyuga Kaze appeared in Yukigami's office, Izumi and Mikoto looked at him as if they were seeing the Sage of Six Paths, with reverence mixed with a hint of fear.

"Lord Xueying, the village warehouses are simply overflowing. Only two new warehouses have been built so far, and everyone is working day and night to finish them!"

Quan's voice was almost choked with sobs as she reported that she felt she had let down Lord Xueying's expectations, but there were just too many supplies, and their warehouse construction speed couldn't keep up at all.

"Don't worry, the procurement of supplies has been stopped. Take me to the new warehouse and I'll put the things in there."

Hinata Kaze was also somewhat amused and exasperated by Izumi's reaction, and could only try to comfort the frightened girl.

After putting some supplies into the warehouse, Hyuga Kaze arranged for Izumi and Mikoto to count, categorize, and plan how to use them before preparing to go train.

Too many trivial matters have been keeping him busy lately, which has delayed his cultivation time. Although Hinata Kaze has not relaxed his cultivation and still makes time to cultivate every day.

However, the effects of focused practice by letting go of all distractions are completely different.

I haven't yet analyzed and deciphered all the scrolls and ninjutsu I stole from Konoha some time ago.

There's also the Book of Sealing, which is entangled with too many seals. Hyuga Kaze plans to unravel it bit by bit and then absorb the essence of the ninjutsu within.

These all require a lot of time.

Of course, Hinata Kaze is not someone who only knows how to bury himself in training.

Before leaving, Hinata Kaze suddenly instructed Mikoto, "Mikoto, hurry up and finish the task I assigned you earlier. I'll be checking it soon!"

Upon hearing this, a charming blush appeared on Mikoto's smooth and fair face. The clothes that Lord Yukage had asked her to make were too embarrassing. She didn't expect Lord Yukage to remember them. How would he check them?

The habit had already been formed, and despite her mind being in a mess, Mikoto subconsciously responded, "Yes, Master Yukage."

Beside her, Izumi looked at Mikoto suspiciously. She felt that Mikoto's expression was very strange. Could it be that the task assigned by Lord Yukage was very difficult?

Thinking about this, Izumi felt a little uneasy. She couldn't understand why Lady Yukage would give Aunt Mikoto a task alone. She really wanted to serve the lady, and she could have been given any task.

Hinata Kaze, with his keen insight, immediately sensed Izumi's thoughts and secretly found it amusing.

Young lady, you have good potential, but there's still a big gap between you and my wife. Don't worry, though, once you've grown up, I can assign you tasks.

Hinata Kaze is looking forward to the beautiful scenery he will see after he has trained for a period of time!

Money is like fleeting clouds to me, but my wife is like a beautiful sight to me!
