"Boss! This is our bill!" Shiyu's capable subordinates excitedly handed over the astronomical bill.
"Hmm! Another record broken? Setting new highs every day! This is a bit unstable." Shiyu was also somewhat proud.
Shiyu's career is thriving and gradually getting on the right track.
At that moment, someone suddenly found Shiyu.
Shiyu himself was quite surprised, after all, the people who found him this time were none other than Konoha's advisory group.
"Shiyu, I heard you're in business now? Is it called Konoha Property Management Company?"
"Could it give more money to those who save in the future? Or could it give the money to those who are short of money first? It all feels like a charitable cause." Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were also short-sighted, failing to notice Shiyu's exorbitant profits and thinking he was doing good deeds.
Shiyu was too lazy to explain to the two of them, and just looked at her bill.
"What!? Such a large influx of funds!?" Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also stunned.
"So, what exactly is your purpose in contacting me, my two advisors? I think it would be better to invest in me; that way, the income would be higher, and I would also give you all a high percentage of the profits." Shiyu looked at the two advisors with burning eyes, and in the end, the two nodded to each other.
"You agree, right?" Shiyu was extremely satisfied. With the investment from Konoha Advisors, it was like giving his company another shot in the arm.
Although money may seem insignificant in the world of ninjas, war is fought with money. Although the daimyo of various countries are nominal leaders of their nations, in the end, they only control the economy of their own country. Ninja villages are equivalent to a country's military base, possessing military units—ninjas.
As the village head, the Shadow naturally became the highest military commander.
Shiyu wants to expand his business throughout the entire World of Naruto. Controlling the economy will be of great help to any future actions.
After some time, Shiyu's financial reserves had reached a very high level, Shiyu he contacted the Konoha clans he was familiar with.
"Hatake, Hyuga, Uchiha, Sarutobi, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Aburame, Inuzuka Shiyu absorbed bloodlines and unleashed their potential, while these major Konoha clans poured enormous wealth into him. In an instant, Shiyu's accumulated funds reached an extremely exaggerated level."
"Everyone! Our property company is going to be upgraded!" Shiyu finally renamed Konoha Property Company to Konoha Bank and opened branches throughout Konoha. At the same time, he also absorbed all the original Konoha Money House and some banks that were only responsible for issuing currency.
"Leave the economic regulation and currency issuance of Konoha to me, and the deposit and lending businesses must also be further developed." Shiyu assigned these tasks, and his subordinates began to work hard.
In just a few months, Shiyu's Konoha Bank had spread throughout the Land of Fire, providing great convenience to the people Shiyu also reaping substantial rewards.
Following Shiyu partnered with all the shops in Konoha to launch the Konoha Huabei service. Even if you don't have money, you can use Huabei to make purchases, and the interest rate is even lower than using Jiebei directly. You only need to repay it within a certain period of time in the future.
The creation of this business instantly stimulated consumption among the residents of the Land of Fire. Increased consumption is essential for increased productivity. For those who simply couldn't repay their debts, Shiyu even introduced them to opportunities to work at his Konoha Bank.
How to put it? In short, Shiyu instantly became connected with the entire Konoha. For their own benefit, the Konoha Village clans would be more than willing to worship Shiyu. As for killing Shiyu, a self-defeating act, no one would even consider it.
Konoha Bank quickly became the wealthiest company in Konoha and even the entire Land of Fire. Of course, Shiyu was not without danger in the ninja village. While the ninjas from his own village would not attack Shiyu, it did not mean that the ninjas from other villages would not want to kill Shiyu.
Shiyu's actions rapidly increased Konoha's strength, leading to numerous attacks from rival ninjas. However, the final outcome was predictable; who could possibly harm Shiyu now?
Shiyu several months transforming himself into a business tycoon.
As for the duties of a ninja, Shiyu naturally did not hesitate to do them without any fuss.
During this time, Shiyu, along with Kurenai, Nao, and others, completed many different tasks of varying levels, greatly broadening their knowledge and experience.
Then one day, the Third Hokage summoned Shiyu to his presence with great anxiety.
"What's wrong, Teacher Sarutobi?" This Shiyu had seen the Third Hokage so emotionally erratic.
"There is a very urgent mission, tentatively designated as Super S-rank mission." The Third Hokage exhaled a smoke ring and placed his pipe on the table.
"Super S-rank?" Shiyu was also somewhat surprised. S-rank was already the highest mission level, and this time the Third Hokage actually called it Super S-rank.
"That's how it is. Recently, some wealthy businessmen from the Land of Fire have gone missing, and their relatives applied for missions here. However, the Konoha Ninja who completed the missions haven't even sent back any news. Then, even the daughter of our Land of Fire's big conglomerate, Miss Amamiya Suisen, has disappeared. You probably know this person, right?"
"Suisen? The one who's always with Xiao Xing." Shiyu still remembered that this girl had even celebrated his birthday.
"Yes, her father is Amamiya Ye, the biggest jeweler in Konoha. This mission has three parts: first, rescue Amamiya Suisen; second, investigate the cause of death of our Konoha Ninja; and third, find out who the mastermind is, and kill them if necessary."
"This mission is best suited for you and Minato. Since Minato isn't here this time, you'll be handling it alone! That concludes the mission briefing. Any further questions?" The Third Hokage asked seriously.
"No problem!" Shiyu was also anxious, after all, Suisen was Xiao Xing's friend.
"Alright, you can investigate the specific information yourself. I don't have any other information here." The Third Hokage shook his head.
"Alright, it seems we'll have to take it one step at a time." Shiyu then stepped back to see her younger sister, Xiao Xing, but Shiyu didn't say anything, only stating that she had to go on a mission.
Immediately afterwards, Shiyu used the Body Flicker Technique to leave Konoha.
"Where should we start our investigation? Since he's a wealthy merchant from the Land of Fire, let's go to the Land of Fire Daimyo City first?" Shiyu used his Body Flicker Technique to quickly leap towards the so-called Daimyo City.
As its name suggests, Daimyo City is the city where the daimyo resides. It is the center of the Land of Fire, distinct from the ninja village. The center of Daimyo City is the Daimyo Imperial Castle, a grand Japanese-style castle complex containing multiple palaces and a six-story Tenshu.
