Chapter 102 Agricultural Production Cooperative!
As an immortal ninja who has survived from the era of Hashirama Senju to the present day, Kakuzu's only belief is money!

Everything in this world will betray you.

Only money won’t!

He joined Akatsuki only because the leader promised to give him the responsibility of financial management of the organization.

Such a mysterious organization, whose leader possesses the legendary immortal eyes, must have a terrifying financial flow.

But after really joining the organization, Kakuzu found out that he had been deceived. A group of rebellious ninjas were extremely poor and the treasury had no money at all.

I was a scalper reselling goods, but before I could make much money, the leader showed up.

"Chief, I am carrying out the mission you assigned me!"

Kakuzu spoke righteously.

"Then what is this?"

Tendo Pain raised his right hand, and several bottles of liquid floated out from Kakuzu's clothes and flew into his hands.

Rippling eyes looked at the small bottle in her hand.

A blue and white umbrella is printed in the center of the bottle.

"It's a new type of liquid medicine produced by the Umbrella Corporation. It's been selling very well recently. I bought some as a backup."

Kakuzu explained without blushing or beating his heart.

"Really?" Tendou Pain glanced at him.

“But isn’t this number too much?”

The moment his voice fell, there was a crackling sound of glass colliding, and Kakuzu's body dropped a large number of small glass bottles like rain.

Each small bottle contained a new type of liquid medicine, almost filling the entire ground beneath their feet.

At a quick glance, there are at least dozens of bottles.

This sudden scene made Kakuzu freeze in place.

Fortunately, Tendo Pain on the opposite side had no intention of investigating further and said thoughtfully.

"What's the current situation in Konoha?"

He sent Kakuzu to lurk in the black market of the Land of Grass in order to gather intelligence about Konoha.

Kakuzu, an undead ninja from the underground black market, thrives in the black market like a duck in water and is able to maximize the use of the black market's intelligence network.

Ever since Orochimaru defected from Akatsuki and returned to Konoha.

Nagato's fear of Konoha increased several times.

As a member of Akatsuki, Orochimaru knows too much information about Akatsuki.

The leakage of Akatsuki's information was inevitable, and he had to prepare for it in advance.

"There has been no action from Konoha for now, but there is one thing that I find strange..."

Kakuzu frowned.

"Konoha seems to be contacting the major grain merchants in the Land of Fire."

"Grain merchants? Why does Konoha contact grain merchants?"

Tendo Pain was slightly surprised.

Konoha, a military organization that keeps ninjas in captivity, why would it contact grain merchants?
Is Konoha Village short of food?
Even if there is a shortage of food, we can get it through sales channels. There is no need to go through the trouble of contacting grain merchants, right?

"Not sure. Who knows what the Fifth Hokage is thinking?"

Kakuzu shook his head. The Fifth Hokage, Namikaze Mirai, was a very strong guy.

Even guys like Orochimaru who defected from the organization can be accepted.

Kakuzu would never be surprised by anything this guy does.

After Tendo Pain digested the information.

"Continue to collect intelligence. The organization will not treat you unfairly."

After saying that, his body floated and flew away.

After confirming that Tendo Pain had left, Kakuzu breathed a sigh of relief.

"The leader is really elusive. I was just trying to make some extra money secretly, but he almost found me!"

The green eyes looked at the potion on the ground with a greedy look.

"Reselling these medicines will bring in another source of income."

……

The land of rain.

The rainy season lasts for more than ten months a year.

In this country covered by rain all year round, there is not a single ray of light to be seen when one looks up.

There was only endless rain and darkness.

It's like God is crying.

Tendo Pain stood on a tall, pointed building. The rain poured over him, soaking his black robe with red clouds.

"Nagato."

Xiaonan's gentle voice sounded behind him.

Tendou Pain's ripple-like lavender eyes overlooked the country in the rain from this tall building.

"Konan, I have a feeling that this ninja world will soon undergo a huge change."

"change?"

Xiaonan frowned.

She didn't understand the meaning of the word Nagato said. "The ninja world is not peaceful. You and I, Yahiko, have all experienced the pain of war, so we look forward to the arrival of peace."

"But they don't know the value of peace. Time and again, they destroy peace with war."

Xiaonan remained silent.

She knew who they were in the long gate.

Five major countries.

Especially Konoha.

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village is a very ambitious man. I have a feeling that it will definitely not be a good thing for him to become Hokage."

Tiandao Pain's rippled eyes were deep and profound.

All the things that have happened recently seem to confirm this conclusion.

"Is it because of Orochimaru's matter..."

Xiaonan pursed her lips with a complicated expression.

Orochimaru's defection was like a thorn in Nagato's heart.

He had a very high opinion of himself and could not accept that the members of Akatsuki defected and defected back to their original ninja village.

"Orochimaru is just a minor character who can't be counted."

Tendo Pain shook his head.

"What really concerns me is the Fifth Hokage. His existence will bring suffering to this world."

"Konoha is the biggest obstacle to peace."

Xiaonan pursed her lips.

Sensei Jiraiya was a ninja from Konoha, and she did not want to go to war with Konoha if necessary.

But, just as Nagato said.

Konoha, the largest military organization in the ninja world, is an obstacle to peace.

"Nagato, no matter what, I will always support you."

Konan whispered softly.

From beginning to end, Tendo Pain never turned around, and his Rinnegan looked down at the country in the rain without any emotion.

Only God can save this world.

No matter how Konoha changes.

Payne, will come.

……

Konoha Village.

Umbrella Research Center.

In the breeding greenhouse, Yamato opened his palms to Namikaze Mirai in ecstasy.

"Teacher! Look, I succeeded! I succeeded!"

In his palm, there were several rice seeds lying quietly, each of which was larger than ordinary rice seeds.

The breeding greenhouse behind him is also filled with heavy golden rice ears, full of the scent of harvest.

Yamato's eyes were filled with joy and excitement.

Combining the theory provided by Namikaze Mirai and using the ability of Wood Release through continuous experimentation, he finally cultivated a new type of rice.

Compared with conventional rice, the per-acre yield of this specially cultivated rice has increased by at least 40%.

"well done."

Namikaze Mirai exclaimed with a smile.

“Today is a day worth remembering.”

"In the future, in the ninja world's textbooks, they will record your name like this: Father of Hybrid Rice, Yamato!"

Orochimaru looked at this scene, his light golden vertical pupils filled with surprise.

"Hybrid rice, this thing actually did it, it's incredible."

As a scientific research ninja, he knew very well what kind of sensation this kind of rice would cause once it was popularized.

Food is the lifeblood of a country.

Even ninjas.

If you don't eat, you will die.

During wartime, food is an even more scarce strategic resource, coupled with previous breakthroughs in medical care.

Namikaze Mirai has already grasped the two lifelines of the ninja world in his hands.

"Orochimaru, I plan to gather the grain merchants of the Land of Fire."

"Call the grain traders?" Orochimaru frowned.

"Mirai-kun, are you going to make this achievement public?"

"This is an agricultural revolution. Konoha is not an agricultural ninja village and has limited experience in planting. Only by combining with the grain merchants of the Land of Fire can we obtain the greatest benefits."

Namikaze Mirai smiled slightly.

"I've already thought of a name for the new production model."

“Agricultural production cooperative!”
