In addition, since he is the head of the secret service, it is in accordance with regulations for him to make the notification.
Kitazawa was slightly taken aback.
This is tantamount to giving him military power.
He can make anyone go if he wants, and he can prevent anyone from going if he wants to.
Kitazawa began to ponder.
Itachi Uchiha will definitely go.
His Mangekyou Sharingan was an insurance policy against Orochimaru.
Matt Kay can also go.
What if Orochimaru suddenly unleashes his full power?
When that time comes, Might Guy can open the Eight Gates and shatter his dream with a single kick.
You could also bring Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya.
But these two can disobey his and Tsunade's orders.
It wouldn't be good if they stole my kills.
Moreover, it's really unnecessary to field such a lineup to fight Orochimaru.
Kitazawa suddenly let out a soft "Eh."
He remembered Orochimaru and the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
However, the threat posed by the Edo Tensei, which was not modified by Kabuto Yakushi, is not particularly great.
In retrospect, it was indeed the right decision to bring the sealing squad.
Because sealing techniques can be effective against reanimated ninjas.
Furthermore, in such a rush, Orochimaru might not have had time to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Because using the Impure World Reincarnation technique requires preparing some of the ninja's flesh and blood, as well as living sacrifices, in advance.
It is very difficult to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique during battle.
In addition, there is Orochimaru's summoning beast, a snake from Ryuchi Cave.
However, with Tsunade around, the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest can handle it.
The summoned beasts of the three holy lands are theoretically about the same strength.
"I'll go find them right now."
Kitazawa greeted Tsunade and then left the Hokage Building.
After a moment's thought, he headed to the Hyuga clan's residence.
Hiashi Hyuga sent about twenty ninjas to help Ocean Heart Jewelry Shop make jewelry.
Among them are many Jonin.
They might be needed in the war with the Hidden Sound Village, so we need to notify them as soon as possible.
"Xiao Nan".
After walking for a while, Kitazawa felt something and spoke up.
Xiao Nan immediately appeared in front of him.
"Returned to Akatsuki?"
Kitazawa looked at her and asked.
"I went to the metropolis of the Land of Fire."
Xiao Nan spoke frankly: "I want to know what kind of necklace can sell for 80 million taels."
"You want to learn?"
Kitazawa asked with a smile.
Xiao Nan hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.
Kitazawa was not surprised to see this.
In fact, he had already sensed it.
It would be strange if she didn't want to learn, since the Akatsuki organization is short of money.
What are your thoughts?
Kitazawa asked curiously.
He wanted to know what Xiao Nan had learned from following him for so long.
"The Land of Rain has found a silver mine and is currently mining it."
Xiao Nan replied, "We originally wanted to sell the silver mine directly, but now we want to sell jewelry."
“Selling jewelry is indeed more profitable.”
Kitazawa nodded.
Selling silver mines means being a raw material supplier, placing them in a downstream position.
But selling jewelry takes it a step further, moving from downstream to upstream and directly controlling the entire industry chain.
"But there are two problems: how to design it and who to sell it to."
Kitazawa added.
The reason Konoha was able to be sold to the nobles of the Land of Fire was because of Tsunade's influence and her relationship with the Daimyo.
But the Akatsuki organization is not an option, and they can't compete with Konoha Village either.
"Design? Not at the moment."
Konan has already seen the two necklaces in the Fire Country Metropolis.
She didn't think that was something an ordinary person could design.
"Can we sell it to the nobles of the other four great nations?"
Xiao Nan humbly sought guidance and instruction.
Fire Country is out of the question; it can't outsell Ocean Heart Jewelry Store.
However, apart from the five major countries, the other small countries are very poor and it is difficult to sell them at high prices.
"It might work at first, but once the businessmen realize what's happening, you'll face fierce competition."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "These local merchants have more advantages than you, such as resources, transportation and manpower."
There are two reasons why Ocean Heart Jewelry Store is not worried about competition.
First, they have connections with famous people.
Secondly, their designs are unique.
If the Akatsuki organization were to follow suit, they would lose these two advantages.
Xiao Nan fell silent.
After Kitazawa said that, she realized that making big money was not so simple.
She didn't have a good solution to these problems in the short term.
Xiao Nan suddenly had a thought and looked at Bei Ze.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Could you be our advisor?"
The idea of hiring Kitazawa Akira as an advisor is far-fetched, but it could make money.
A necklace worth 80 million taels of silver is equivalent to half a year or even a year of hard work by Jiao Du.
Why should I help you?
Kitazawa was slightly taken aback, and asked in return.
"It's not helping, it's a transaction."
After a moment's thought, Konan said, "If you make money for our Akatsuki organization, we will pay you the corresponding reward."
"Sounds pretty good."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "I can agree to that."
What kind of compensation do you want?
Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"It can be a profit-sharing arrangement, or your Akatsuki organization can do tasks for me."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "You know, there are some things that are inconvenient for me to do in my position."
Xiao Nan couldn't help but ponder.
This doesn't sound like it would do any harm to the Akatsuki.
The Akatsuki organization today is essentially a mercenary organization; whether they are doing missions for Kitazawa or for other employers, it doesn't really matter.
"I have one request: if you want to become an advisor to Akatsuki, you have to change your identity."
Konan explained, "Some members of the Akatsuki organization have grudges against Konoha Village."
If Nagato knew that Kitazawa was invited to be an advisor, he definitely wouldn't agree, so I had to make up an excuse and keep it from him for the time being.
"no problem."
Kitazawa nodded and agreed.
The majority of the Akatsuki members have a grudge against Konoha Village.
Nagato's parents were killed by Jonin from Konoha.
Sasori's parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha.
There was Orochimaru before, but he has now defected.
The mysterious masked man who called himself Uchiha Madara, also known as Uchiha Obito, has a long history of feuds with Konoha.
Actually, Kakuzu counts too.
After all, the reason he defected from Takigakure was because he failed to assassinate the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
If it weren't for Kitazawa's butterfly effect, there would also be Uchiha Itachi.
If he went to the Akatsuki organization and revealed that he was a high-ranking member of Konoha, he would be besieged.
"You should start mining first. Once you have a certain amount of silver ore in stock, then come back to me."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "If I design the jewelry, I'll have to pay a design fee."
"Ah."
Xiao Nan had no objections.
As he said, everything was done according to the deal.
"I'm going to the Hyuga clan's headquarters. You don't need to come with me."
Kitazawa waved his hand and continued walking forward.
Xiao Nan disappeared from the spot.
"Kitazawa".
Hiashi Hyuga took the initiative to come forward.
"I've come to convey Tsunade-sensei's orders."
Kitazawa said with a serious expression.
"You said."
Hiashi Hyuga also stopped smiling upon hearing this.
"Form four Byakugan squads, preferably all of them Jonin."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
