In the Naruto world, Zhang Bairen ordered luxurious clothes, took out hundreds of millions of taels of silver, and summoned a large group of guards and servants.
After making all the preparations, first write a letter to Hiruzen Sarutobi, then inform him of your return time and the status of your entourage.
Furthermore, 300 million taels of silver were allocated to support the village's future development.
As for where those three hundred million taels would ultimately end up, that was no longer Zhang Bairen's concern.
Now, Zhang Bairen no longer needs to write his own novels.
Instead, the two worlds of Kengan and Baki provide excellent manuscripts, which are then printed, published, and sold by themselves.
Of course, to save trouble, Zhang Bairen did not keep all the benefits to himself, but instead cooperated amicably with the daimyo of the Land of Fire and some old nobles.
I want to eat the biggest piece of cake, but the rest can be shared.
Besides the novel, Zhang Bairen's underground dealings also involve secret collaborations with Orochimaru.
Zhang Bairen's milk tea shop, fried chicken shop, and steel raw material shop have also been linked to the Land of Fire.
Initially, some nobles were too greedy and wanted to take over Zhang Bairen's business and cut off his supply channels.
Then, Zhang Bairen did not take action himself, but instead spent a lot of money to hire a professional, Kakuzu, to handle these problems.
Later, in order to maintain friendly relations, Zhang Bairen hired Kakuzu multiple times, spending hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
At this point, Zhang Bairen knew two members of the Akatsuki organization among the experts he knew.
One is Orochimaru, and the other is Kakuzu.
Zhang Bairen is confident that he can persuade these two to leave the Akatsuki organization and join his business alliance.
"Kakuzu, you haven't gone back for so long, and you haven't contacted your organization either. Is this really okay?" Zhang Bairen asked.
[I highly recommend the source-switching app for reading books; it's really useful. Download it here: huanyuanapp. Give it a try!]
Beside him, Kakuzu lay comfortably on a sofa made of stacks of banknotes and replied, "Ah, no problem."
I had a lot of freedom in that organization, and I usually took on tasks everywhere to earn commissions.
Moreover, the leader already knew that I was working for you.
You're generous and quick to give money, and the leader also supports my decision.
He even wants to slip one or two more members into your organization; making money with you is much faster than taking on missions.
“Really? My business is still expanding, and if there are enough experts to act as bodyguards, I would be more than happy to do so,” Zhang Bairen replied.
"I say, with your strength, why do you insist on becoming a businessman?"
"In my opinion, with your current strength and resources, you are fully capable of establishing your own ninja village or country," Kakuzu said.
Zhang Bairen shook his head slightly, then replied, "You don't understand. If a ninja village or a country were established, there would be far too many things to manage."
Besides, am I not feeling well right now?
As our commercial influence grows, we recruit more and more ninjas, and even the daimyo of various countries want to cooperate with us in business.
Money can never be earned enough, and life is meant to be enjoyed.
From now on, all I need to do is enjoy life.
As for becoming a daimyo or village head, I have absolutely no interest in that.
“That’s true.” Kakuzu said, then comfortably opened his arms.
"Kakuzu, come with me to Konoha tomorrow. I want to recruit some Uchiha guards," Zhang Bairen said.
"Going to Konoha Village? Is there a problem with my identity?" Kakuzu asked.
"It's alright, I've already taken care of it beforehand."
"Besides, if you don't want to show your face in public, you can disguise yourself or sneak in," Zhang Bairen replied.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go with you tomorrow." After saying that, Kakuzu couldn't help but boast with great enthusiasm, "You know what? I once fought against the First Hokage of Konoha."
The power of the God of Shinobi is indeed extremely strong!
Zhang Bairen almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
This Kakuzu really boasts about his achievements to everyone he meets.
"What? You don't believe me?"
"You know my secret techniques, and you should understand that I've lived a long time, right?" Kakuzu explained.
"Yes, I understand, I understand."
"I'm entrusting my safety to you when I return to the village tomorrow," Zhang Bairen replied casually.
Zhang Bairen's attitude made Jiao Du very bored.
He himself was well aware of how much exaggeration his record against the First Hokage was in the eyes of true powerhouses.
So Kakuzu closed his eyes again, savoring the feeling of fullness from the banknotes.
The next day, the luxurious clothes that reflected the nouveau riche's status were completed.
Covered in gold and silver jewels, with an armor as heavy as that of the Land of Iron, and glittering clothes, he was not only extremely tacky but also extremely extravagant.
Kakuzu watched in amazement, almost shedding tears.
This outfit is worth at least several hundred million taels of silver.
Zhang Bairen, accompanied by a large convoy, returned home in glory, stealing the show.
After entering the village, various small gifts were distributed, and both ninjas and civilians showed genuine happy smiles.
Along the way, the lively clamor echoed for hundreds of meters, with shouts everywhere: "Master Bairen is back! The great writer is back!!"
Even the Hokage dispatched the Anbu to maintain order at the scene.
This exaggerated influence is far greater than that of Naruto.
Throughout the entire ninja world, there are fans of Zhang Bairen's books everywhere.
Throughout the entire ninja world, there are believers in money everywhere.
Zhang Bairen, who was sharp and outspoken, was not only famous but also rich. He was admired by both commoners and ninjas.
At least, Zhang Bairen, who came from Konoha, makes them feel very proud.
After delivering several truckloads of gifts and merchandise vouchers, Zhang Bairen returned to his original residence.
At this moment, the gaunt-faced Hiruzen Sarutobi was waiting for Zhang Bairen in the room.
Because of the advance notice and the 300 million taels of silver, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi specially ordered the Anbu ninjas to thoroughly clean Zhang Bairen's former residence.
This behavior can be described as a typical symbol of diligence in governing and caring for the people.
Pushing open the door, one sees a gaunt-looking Hiruzen Sarutobi standing inside the room.
"Lord Hokage, what brings you here?" Zhang Bairen asked, feigning surprise.
"Hyakunin, welcome home." Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was both kind and gentle.
Kakuzu followed behind Zhang Bairen, curling his lip in disdain.
That old man is such a hypocrite.
"Lord Hokage, is there something you need to do here?" Zhang Bairen asked, feigning ignorance.
"Ahem, um, Bai Ren."
"It's not working hours right now, so let's just talk about ordinary, everyday things," Hiruzen Sarutobi began.
"Oh, what is it?" Zhang Bairen's expression showed great curiosity.
"Yeah, never mind, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Why don't you come home with me first, and we can have something to eat and talk slowly?" After hesitating for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally said these words.
“Lord Hokage, I brought some servants with me this time. I’ll have them cook. We can go upstairs first and have a quick chat,” Zhang Bairen replied.
