Coin Toss

After Sasori and Hidan were done, Hyuga Shin, as usual, tried to check on them. He found no abnormalities and the seal was stable, which put his mind at ease.

"Good, you can feel my consciousness invading you, right?" Hyuga Shin then asked the three of them about their specific experiences.

Even though it was successful, he still needed to hear the users' feelings.

"Indeed, Leader, the moment your will invaded, I sensed it. I could also receive the subsequent feedback from the consciousness in the soul space."

Kakuzu responded first.

"Same here, I feel like the effect is very good," Sasori added.

"I have the same feeling," Hidan also expressed his support for his two teammates' opinions.

"Mm, that's good. The next step is to choose a location for building the Small Space Barrier. Do you have any suggestions?"

Seeing that all three agreed, Hyuga Shin was no longer worried and asked for their opinions.

"Does the Leader have any requirements for the location?" Kakuzu inquired.

"It should be a place with few people, but a good environment and abundant energy. It would be even better if it were more concealed."

Hyuga Shin stated his requirements for the location.

"Then I really can't think of a suitable place right away."

"Hidan, Sasori, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kakuzu pondered for a moment but found no answer, so he turned to his two teammates.

"I haven't thought of a suitable place for now."

"Me neither."

After all, they were still young and had traveled less. Sasori and Hidan both indicated they couldn't think of a suitable location at the moment.

"Then let's put it on hold for now. Everyone, let's brainstorm and find some suitable locations as soon as possible, then report them to me."

"Building a foundation is crucial for Spark! The sooner, the better!"

Hyuga Shin knew that a suitable place might not be found immediately, but he still hoped they would take it seriously.

Upon hearing this, the three of them agreed to keep it in mind and quickly select some promising locations to provide to Hyuga Shin for his choice.

With the matter temporarily set aside, Hyuga Shin remembered Kakuzu mentioning that the organization needed money for development.

This was also an issue he needed to take seriously.

"Kakuzu mentioned before that the organization needs money for development. I've indeed overlooked this point."

"Moreover, among the three of you, probably only Kakuzu has some assets. Sasori and Hidan, you're most likely still poor boys."

"Come with me to the bank in the capital of the Land of Wind later. I'll transfer some money to each of you. After all, improving strength requires a lot of resources."

Hyuga Shin decided to offer them some support and, at the same time, allocate a portion of the funds to Kakuzu for management as reserve funds for the organization's development.

"Really? Leader! Thank you so much!" Sasori gratefully expressed his joy to Hyuga Shin.

In fact, Sasori needed financial support the most among the three, as his Puppet Technique was too expensive, and he probably had very little money left.

"Leader, I don't need any. Please keep it as reserve funds for the organization's development?" Although Kakuzu was greedy, he was still wholeheartedly considering the organization.

"Leader, give me tens of millions of Ryo, and I'll buy some evil ninjas to sacrifice to my Evil God!"

Hidan finally understood the concept of tens of millions of Ryo. Hearing that Hyuga Shin was giving money, he immediately asked for a huge sum.

He wasn't afraid at all. Ever since he learned to bargain, he had become more and more unrestrained.

"Let's go!"

Hyuga Shin didn't delay. He casually lifted the barrier's Sealing Technique, led the three downstairs, paid over a hundred thousand Ryo for the meal, and headed towards the bank in the capital of the Land of Wind.

Next was the exciting part of "sprinkling money."

Hyuga Shin transferred twenty million Ryo to Hidan's account at the bank.

The main reason was that Hidan's strength relied entirely on the Evil God, so money wasn't that useful to him.

Furthermore, if he truly let Hidan use the money to bounty hunt ninjas and sacrifice them to the Evil God, it would be too conspicuous and might expose Spark's existence, making them a target.

Giving him some operating funds would suffice.

As for Sasori, Hyuga Shin transferred fifty million Ryo to him.

After all, puppeteers were big spenders, and Hyuga Shin recognized Sasori's talent. He hoped Sasori could use this money to improve his strength as much as possible.

Finally, it was Kakuzu's turn. Hyuga Shin transferred a whopping five hundred and fifty million Ryo to him!

Upon seeing the number just deposited into his passbook, Kakuzu's breathing uncontrollably paused.

It was too much!

He didn't quite understand why Hyuga Shin would transfer so much money to him.

After leaving the bank, Hyuga Shin explained his reasons for distributing the money to the three of them, so they wouldn't feel treated differently.

Once Hidan and Sasori's reasons were explained, everyone understood.

The explanation was mainly to address Kakuzu's situation.

Hyuga Shin's intention was for Kakuzu to serve as the organization's chief financial officer. Although Kakuzu was a money-loving individual, he possessed strong self-control and wouldn't spend recklessly.

Kakuzu was right; the organization's development indeed depended on financial support.

Furthermore, Hyuga Shin might have other pressing matters to attend to, making it impossible for him to be with them constantly.

Orochimaru wouldn't be able to join them anytime soon either.

This meant the task of developing the organization would likely fall upon the shoulders of the three of them.

Therefore, Hyuga Shin appointed Kakuzu as the Spark Organization's chief financial officer, entrusting him with most of the reserve funds.

This way, when they needed money to recruit new members for the organization's development, they could directly apply to Kakuzu for funds.

They wouldn't have to ask Hyuga Shin for money anymore.

With this explanation, Hidan and Sasori had no objections, as managing money was still beyond their current capabilities.

However, Kakuzu felt a significant pressure. While he loved money, these funds were meant for the organization's development, implying many areas would require his attention.

Despite this, Kakuzu felt immense joy from Hyuga Shin's unconditional trust.

This feeling of being valued, needed, and entrusted with a significant responsibility was truly wonderful!

The distribution of funds was complete, and the matters he could handle were basically resolved, with only the site selection remaining.

As Hyuga Shin had said, the sooner, the better. He worried that the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't give him much time.

Thus, Hyuga Shin decided to personally tour the Ninja World.

He aimed to find a suitable location and, perhaps, discover any exceptional talents along the way.

He then left the capital with Kakuzu, Sasori, and Hidan, finding a quiet place to plan their next course of action.

"Next, I will outline the organization's future plans and offer some suggestions. After listening, you can voice any opinions you may have."

"Your mission from now on is to search the Ninja World for outstanding sparks and complete the initial preparatory work."

"Once I find a suitable location and successfully establish a Small Space Barrier, we can attempt to invite the individuals you've identified to join the organization."

"Also, maintain a low profile as much as possible. It's not time for the organization to surface yet. You must carefully vet every talent you select."

"I need to travel the Ninja World to see if I can find a suitable location for construction. Kakuzu, you will be in charge of arranging the subsequent actions."

"Remember, preserving your lives is always the top priority! Only by truly living can we achieve our ideals."

"Running away when you can't win is not shameful; it's foolish not to run!"

"Do not easily trust what others say, especially when fighting. If you encounter someone who likes to debate ideals and beliefs with you."

"If you have the ability, kill them quickly. If you can't, disengage as soon as possible!"

"Because you never know if the person arguing with you at that moment is actually them!"

Hyuga Shin spoke about the upcoming arrangements while issuing stern reminders to the three, tightening the reins.

He did not want Kakuzu and Sasori to suffer the same ridiculous fates they met in the original story of his past life.

"I hope you will take my suggestions to heart. Do you have any questions or suggestions regarding my upcoming plans?"

Hyuga Shin glanced at Kakuzu, Hidan, and Sasori, who were listening attentively, and asked.

"Leader, your suggestions are very pertinent. I have no objections to the upcoming arrangements," Kakuzu, as the eldest of the trio, naturally spoke first.

"I'd like to ask, Leader, will we be acting individually or as a group?" Sasori voiced his thought.

"You can act individually or as a group; either is fine."

"However, you and Hidan are still young and inexperienced, so it would be best to follow Kakuzu's lead for now."

Hyuga Shin answered Sasori's question and offered his advice.

Now that they had a firewall, it was much safer.

"Understood, Leader. Then I have no further questions," Sasori replied.

"I have no issues, Leader. I've noted everything you said," Hidan stated plainly when he saw Hyuga Shin looking at him.

"Very well, that concludes our meeting for today. The time ahead is yours."

"Go forth and seek out quality sparks, bringing light and hope to this dark and twisted world. Your future is infinitely bright!"

Hyuga Shin's words were impassioned.
