Nagato's suggestion to change the plan is reasonable.

Therefore, Black Zetsu, Obito Uchiha, and Konan, who truly had the decision-making power, nodded in agreement after consideration.

Obito Uchiha hoarse voice, "Currently, there aren't many Jinchuriki or Tailed Beast stranded outside the ninja villages."

"Uta Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, has Utakata and is a very suitable target."

"The Three-Tails- Tailed Beast died along with its Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, and there is currently no sign of its revival."

Deidara spoke up, "Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, although he doesn't have the title of missing-nin, the Iwagakure Ninja haven't been effectively monitoring him for a long time. This situation is no different from that of missing-nin, making it a perfect opportunity to strike."

Kakuzu added, "Although the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is located within Takigakure Takigakure, the village is weak and has little presence, making it a viable target."

Which one should we start with?

After thinking for a moment, Nagato said, "Our first target is Uta Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure."

"Zetsu, you're in charge of Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki's team will be responsible for capturing him."

After finalizing their action plan, the Akatsuki began their plan to capture the Tailed Beast.

However, out of fear of the Fifth Hokage, they acted very cautiously and never caused any major disturbances or waves in the Ninja World.

Peace continues in the Ninja World, and it will continue for a long time.

Marvel World, New York.

Former police officer Shazo lay on a large, comfortable fabric sofa, enjoying the sunshine and being fed grapes by Skye.

After a year of hard study, Skye completed her university studies in computer science and also earned degrees in Physics, architecture, Mechanical Engineering, and geology.

Skye, who graduated two years early, returned to Shazo's side, continuing to study advanced knowledge on her own while enjoying the luxurious life of a top-tier wealthy family.

At this time, Shazo also resigned from his job with the New York Police Department.

During the last attempt to seize the Iron Monger, Shazo, relying on his status as New York Police and his superb marksmanship, managed to suppress General Ross's United States army, allowing the Iron Monger to be acquired by New York State.

In the aftermath, in an effort to save face, General Ross exerted immense political pressure through his connections, forcing Shazo to resign from his job at the police station.

In compensation, Rockefeller gifted Shazo shares in more than a dozen high-tech companies, including heavyweights such as Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM.

--

The total value is as high as US$1 billion.

The key point is that these are all original shares, and the value in the stock market cannot reflect the value of these indivisible original shares at all.

This is the credentials that allow one to participate in the company's operations and vote on the company's strategic decisions.

If Shazo were willing to sell, there would be plenty of newly rich people willing to spend tens of billions of US dollars to buy these original shares, which are only worth one billion.

However, Shazo was no fool. He knew the value of these original shares and held onto them tightly, refusing to let them go no matter what.

This is not just about money, but also about the outward manifestation of a recognized status.

If it weren't for Shazo's surprising and delightful display of strength, these established chaebols wouldn't have offered up resources that money couldn't buy.

Yes, none of the emerging companies in United States today are not controlled by conglomerates.

Or, to put it another way, without the strong support of a giant conglomerate after taking control, how could a new company possibly penetrate 50 closed state markets and expand its business throughout the entire United States, and even the world?

As is widely known, United States is not a country, but Body Integration of giant conglomerates and local separatist forces disguised as a country.

United States lacks a unified domestic market and operates in different sectors with fragmented ownership. Without the protection of giant conglomerates, it simply cannot conduct interstate business.

After becoming an unshakable shareholder of these star companies, resources automatically came to Shazo.

For example, he had a United Kingdom butler at his villa on Long Island, who was introduced to him by an heir to the DuPont family.

For example, through his butler's connections, Shazo established contact with Hollywood and invested in several low-budget films based on his memory.

His personal stockbroker, Jordan Belfort, also became a top figure on Wall Street, establishing a top 50 investment brokerage firm without spending a single dollar.

The most memorable event of 2008 was Iron Man publicly acknowledging his identity, but the most impactful event on people's lives was the ensuing subprime mortgage crisis.

Having anticipated the crisis, Shazo seized the opportunity and manipulated the situation according to Michael Barry's methods.

He created an "insurance" through Rockefeller Bank – Credit Default Swap Insurance – and then bought a large amount of it himself.

To profit from the subprime crisis, the most important thing is to capitalize on the time lag between a mortgage's credit rating and its actual condition.

Shazo knew that rating agencies were essentially commercial companies, and providing rating services was their means of making a profit; therefore, they could not be truly fair and impartial.

He had Jordan keep a close eye on the rating agency's Flowing Water and reports, using his connections in both the legal and illegal worlds to obtain real information about the properties. Then, he used the CDS (Credit Default Swap) contract to ruthlessly exploit unsuspecting investors.

In the short six months leading up to the full-blown subprime crisis, Shazo had already made over 10 billion dollars in profits from the subprime mortgage market.

Meanwhile, several films he invested in were also very successful, yielding returns of several dozen times his initial investment.

In no time, Shazo became the most successful investment tycoon, and even the stock market guru wanted to have lunch with him.

But Shazo casually refused.

The stock market guru is overthinking it.

He could wield immense power in the financial markets, manipulating billions of dollars to create financial tsunamis, conquering developing countries and reaping massive wealth.

However, of that massive amount of money, very little belonged to the stock market guru, and of the wealth he reaped, only a negligible portion was his.

Ultimately, the stock market guru was merely a front man for the elite, while Shazo was a member of that elite; they were not on the same level.

If Shazo hadn't displayed incredible Gun Fu, not only suppressing an entire army company single-handedly with a gun but also destroying such a massive Iron Monger, he would absolutely not have been qualified to advance in his rank.

Rockefeller initially invited him to join the elite society, essentially as a service provider for the top echelons, just like the legendary investor.

The stock market guru is the white glove in the financial market, while Shazo is positioned as the black glove in terms of security.

However, the situation changed when he so easily destroyed the Iron Monger and effortlessly suppressed hundreds of soldiers.

Shazo's fighting ability exceeded normal limits and was enough to threaten everyone's lives. If he were a black guy without any background or a new generation who had received a "happy education," then naturally he would be handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D.. to eliminate the danger.

But Shazo, a member of the New York Police Department and a key member of the system of violence, also demonstrated an attitude of accepting social rules and wisdom.

Especially after everyone tested Shazo through General Ross, he submitted his resignation voluntarily, prioritizing the interests of the group.

This changes the situation significantly.

Rockefeller, representing the old money, genuinely accepted Shazo Dawson into their ranks and gifted him a set of non-dilutable original shares representing his status.

As for Shazo making money from investing in movies and profiting from the subprime market, to outsiders he is truly a genius, shining brightly for all time.

But in the eyes of Rockefeller, DuPont, Lehman, and Roosevelt, Shazo's earning power was icing on the cake; it made things more prestigious, but it didn't matter if he didn't have it.

Do they really think that tens of billions is that important to them?

This is no longer the pioneering era of United States 150 years ago; those who get paid are the ones who get the work done.

Skye listened intently as Shazo recounted the intricacies of high society, becoming completely absorbed. Finally, she exclaimed in admiration, "Boss, you're amazing! How did you manage to figure out something so complex?"

Shazo replied with a smile, "Because I was Huaxia in my past life."

Skye looked completely bewildered. "Huh?"

Shazo laughed heartily, "Huaxia's glorious 5000-year history, filled with trepidation, and all the tricks, conspiracies, and darkness of human society..."

Greatness can be found in the history of Huaxia.

"A 250-year history for United States is still too young."

Skye, do you know why I like you?

Skye's face flushed red. "Could it be... could it be because I have Huaxia blood?"

Shazo gave a thumbs-up without hesitation and replied, "You're right."

Skye was both amused and exasperated. "Boss, are you kidding me?"

Shazo's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I'm not joking."

"Haven't you noticed that your skin is smooth, with barely visible pores, and no freckles?"

"Your sweat has a mild smell; you don't have body odor, and even eating spicy foods doesn't produce a strong odor, so you never need to use strong perfume."

Most importantly, you don't need to worry about eating any allergens.

Skye's expression shifted from stunned silence to burning rage. She rudely interrupted Shazo, "Boss, are you selecting purebred dogs?"

Shazo looked at the girl with wide, angry eyes and raised eyebrows, and seeing her vibrant and lively appearance, he smiled sincerely.

"No, Skye, I'm not picking out a purebred dog."

"For a man, being attracted to a woman's appearance is the first step in liking her, and then it slowly touches her soul; this is a normal developmental process."

"It's just that my values are influenced by Huaxia culture, and my aesthetic sense is different from that of United States, which is why I had to put up with it before I met you."

That's why I'm so drawn to your strengths after seeing you.

Skye blushed, biting her red lips, and asked, suppressing her mixed feelings of shyness and joy, "Boss, are you lying to me? There are so many pure-blooded Huaxia people in New York, isn't there anyone you like among them?"

Shazo waved his hand and sneered, "Don't mention these mutated bananas (Chinese people who have become foreigners). Do they even deserve to be called Huaxia?"

"Those people who even have to smile like Anglo-Saxons, squinting their eyes, raising their eyebrows, and showing all their teeth, don't they ever consider whether their facial features are suitable for such a smile?"

"These idiots who only know how to imitate white people are useless trash who have lost their Huaxia soul; they're no different from puppets on strings."

Seeing their affected, foolish behavior, and thinking about their puppet-like, enslaved souls, makes me want to vomit!

"I'd rather turn back and endure the inherited Anglo-Saxons body odor than face them!!"

Skye was startled by Shazo's sudden outburst, and then she thought of her Huaxia- American classmate, whose deliberately trained smile was indeed very awkward.

The girl carefully stuck out her tongue. "Hehe, boss, you're so picky."

Shazo reached out and gently pinched her pert nose, laughing, "So in the end, I chose you!"

"Although you are not a pure-blooded Huaxia, Huaxia civilization has never recognized bloodlines; it recognizes cultural identity."

"If you rub your nose too hard, it'll collapse!" Skye covered her nose, unable to contain her curiosity, and asked, "What is cultural identity in Huaxia?"

Shazo replied, "On the surface, it's about recognizing Huaxia history, recognizing the Chinese language and characters, accepting traditional Huaxia festivals, and acknowledging Confucianism, Daoism, and other philosophical schools of thought."

"But at its core, it is about acknowledging that the Huaxia do not inherently grant gods a superior status, and that they accept the rule that ancestors are immortalized through their achievements."

He looked at Skye and said solemnly, "It's about having the spirit to strive and refuse to accept fate."

"Because of that great being, these spirits are hidden in China's seemingly rigid exam-oriented education system. It's quite a coincidence that you received a complete Chinese education."

"So in my eyes, Skye, you're not some United States, you're a Huaxia person like me."

Skye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbing as she complained, "Why are you speaking so passionately? You're making my heart race."

Shazo laughed loudly, which immediately angered the girl. In her anger, she stuffed the peeled grapes into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge out like a cute chipmunk.

Skye's adorable appearance delighted Shazo, who found her pouting red lips incredibly cute.

He sprang to his feet, grabbed the girl, and kissed her with lightning speed, tasting the sweet and sour grape juice.

Skye was startled and struggled helplessly to no avail. She quickly became lost in Shazo's aura and forgot to struggle.

The house was instantly filled with a beautiful scene.

Just then, Shazo's special phone rang, startling Skye out of her reverie.

The girl blushed deeply, her cheeks, ears, and neck turning bright red. She then punched the despicable boss fiercely, sending Shazo flying straight to the ceiling.

Then the girl licked her lips and said in a coquettish voice, "Boss, you Sneak Attack me again!"

Shazo Zuo laughed and picked up his phone. When he answered, he didn't hear his friend Rockefeller's voice, but rather the voice of an annoying person.

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury., said with feigned composure, "Watch TV, the New York news."

A few seconds later, Shazo stared at the TV in disbelief and blurted out, "Hulk! And who was that again?"
