Chapter 235: The Richest Woman in the Ninja World: Konan!
Chapter 235: The Richest Woman in the Ninja World: Konan!
The Iwagakure army suddenly retreated and moved towards the northeast, which was the direction of the battlefield between the Kumogakure and Konohagakure armies.
It was this information that made Danpo hurry to bring Koharu Hyuga along, as he had guessed correctly that a grand scene was about to unfold.
Whoosh!
Two figures jumped at high speed towards the Land of Rain.
"What's our goal this time?" Koharu Hyuga asked curiously.
"We're going to meet someone and collect a body!" Danpo replied straightforwardly.
The person they were going to meet was naturally Konan, and Danpo wanted to see her in person and comfort his "pen pal"... or rather, just comfort her.
As for collecting a body, it referred to the Third Raikage's corpse. As the strongest Raikage, his body held immense research value.
Most importantly, Danpo could obtain the "Raikage's Chakra Mode" from his body.
With the direction and data, Danpo could come up with even more plans.
The super-strong man who had fought the Eight-Tails had immense research value, especially his heart. If it was preserved properly, it could be used as a "second heart".
A second heart could allow someone to inherit the original owner's chakra attributes and talents. The Third Raikage's talents were, of course, top-notch in the ninja world.
Although it wasn't as convenient as Kakuzu's ability, which was plug-and-play, the benefits could be developed slowly.
Uchiha Sho!
After learning about Yamato's power-up, he voluntarily donated his entire fortune, adding to the 100 million ryo sponsored by the Uchiha clan, to make a total of 200 million ryo as the "operation fee" to undergo the Sage Mode surgery.
Danpo agreed after considering it.
After all, Uchiha Sho was not only a member of the Uchiha clan but also a member of the Tenshokyo.
At the same time, Danpo's resources were starting to open up.
There were many good things like treatment medicine, secret medicine, and ninjutsu, but some things were only available to "internal" personnel.
Like the Rebirth Drug, Radiant Drug, Natural Energy, and the Sage Mode, which required a certain level of strength and loyalty to exchange.
Uchiha Sho was also qualified to exchange for these items.
However, having the qualifications didn't mean that Danpo would give them away for free.
So, he set up a "Contribution Value" system, similar to those in other ninja villages.
For example, completing a village mission for 10,000 ryo would give 1 point of Contribution Value.
A C-rank ninjutsu could be exchanged for 100 points of Contribution Value (with limited exchangeable identities).
If it was a B-rank ninjutsu, the exchange required an Anbu-level strength and membership in the Tenshokyo, and 1,000 points of Contribution Value.
Knowledge-based items only required Contribution Value, but for items with physical materials, consuming Contribution Value only gave the qualification to purchase, and one still had to pay the price.
Don't think this is exploitation!
It's much fairer than in Konohagakure.
In Konohagakure, even with enough Contribution Value, one had to rely on connections to exchange for items, and there were still middlemen taking a cut.
It's as black as it gets!
Just think about it, the non-ninja civilians in Konohagakure's village had almost no chance of exchanging for items during battles.
The conditions for the Sage Mode surgery were: 10,000 Contribution Value, 200 million ryo, and Anbu-level strength.
As for the loyalty inspection and other hidden conditions, Danpo wouldn't mention them.
With Uchiha Sho's Contribution Value, it was far from enough, so the Uchiha clan contributed together.
As for the transfer of Contribution Value, Danpo didn't have strict restrictions yet.
After all, he didn't allow coercion, deception, or buying and selling.
In the early stages, he had to quickly concentrate resources to "nurture" a few strong ninjas, and later, the system would be perfected, and it would be fair competition.
A few days later.
The two of them snuck into the vicinity of the Land of Rain.
(End of chapter)
At this moment, they changed into the 'Kage' organization uniforms.
Since they were going to meet Konan, of course, they couldn’t use their true identities; it wasn’t time to reveal their cards yet.
At the agreed time.
Whoosh!
White papers fluttered like the wind, forming into the figure of a blue-haired woman in a black cloak with red clouds, standing beside Tang Ping.
Compared to a year ago, there was no trace of gentleness on Konan’s current demeanor; she appeared utterly cold.
"It’s been a long time, Sister Konan!"
Tang Ping’s address remained unchanged. After all, she was a few years older than him, so this form of address was quite natural.
There was no way a few calls of "Sister Konan" could make her lose herself, right?
Totally... impossible.
"So, you are part of the 'Kage' organization?"
Konan’s gaze swept over Tang Ping’s black uniform and the white bone mask, recalling the recent bounty in the black market. She recognized them.
Kage!
After several active operations, they were no longer unknown.
A bounty of tens of millions of ryo was now hanging in the underground exchange office.
"That’s right, we are Kage, an organization for love and justice!"
Tang Ping nodded in acknowledgment.
Love and justice!
He wasn’t lying.
The ultimate goal was to resolve all the nobles and the Uzumaki, to restore peace and tranquility to the ninja world. How could this not be for 'love and justice'?
Of course, this organization had another purpose.
To take the blame!
All the things that Tang Ping and his team couldn’t do themselves were handled by this organization.
"Love and justice... huh?"
Konan’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Because Akatsuki was also for peace, now another 'Kage' organization appeared, how could she not find it off-putting?
"That’s right, just like you want to revive people because of love. What do you think of our organization’s purpose?"
Tang Ping asked directly.
His question was a subtle reminder and threat, equivalent to saying, "Konan, you don’t want Mito to be unable to revive, right?"
"...Very good!"
Konan’s mouth twitched, but in the end, she could only echo the sentiment.
When under someone’s roof, one had to bow.
Who wouldn’t bow when the person had such strong predictive abilities and could revive Mito?
Forget the organization’s purpose being 'love and justice,' even if Kage claimed it was for 'ninja world peace,' she would nod in agreement. Anyone who dared to disagree would receive a few strong blows from her.
"This meeting is to understand the recent situation and to give you something!"
Tang Ping first pulled out a sealing scroll.
Release!
A corpse was released from inside.
Identical to Mito.
Now that Nagato was preparing to create the Six Paths of Pain, he needed to send the prepared clone body.
"Mito... Mito!"
Konan looked at the corpse on the ground, her cold expression finally breaking, tears slowly streaming down.
"Alright, this is just a clone. And I’ve already figured out how to revive Mito. You should save your strength to report on Nagato’s changes!"
Tang Ping didn’t want to waste time and directly interrupted her 'flashback.'
Faced with this air-reading-impaired person, what could Konan do but forgive him?
"Nagato has recently..."
She earnestly recounted Nagato’s changes.
Ever since the Rinnegan had gone berserk, he had not only turned Akatsuki from a public to a secret organization but also changed its style, transforming it from a group pursuing peace into a mercenary group working for money.
At the same time, he was collecting corpses.
From Konan’s report, Tang Ping could hear that the 'seeds' he had planted had sprouted and bloomed, bringing him a loyal 'spy.'
And with the intelligence given through subsequent communications, confirming that the three were involved in a conspiracy, she would only become more dependent on him.
Like the simplest evidence.
The Rinnegan!
This wasn’t a bloodline limit of the Uzumaki clan.
It was precisely because of these pieces of evidence that Konan’s loyalty was so high.
She knew that if she wanted to escape this control, there was no other way; she could only rely on Tang Ping.
After leaving the corpse with Konan, Tang Ping immediately rushed to the front row to watch the famous scene in the Land of Hot Water.
