"Free loan? Can such a good thing be possible?"
Listening to Namikawa Yū's words, all the Kumogakure ninjas present were confused.
You can borrow money for free and help with investment, which seems to be a good thing no matter how you look at it.
But if it was just like this, why would the Hokage specifically bring this matter up?
Third Raikage instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with this.
But he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
Because on the surface, it seems that there are only benefits to letting this so-called Konoha Bank enter Land of Lightning.
Just the fact that you can borrow money for free is enough to make people excited.
As for the business of collecting deposits, it seems very ordinary and there is nothing strange at all.
Although there are no professional banks in this world yet, there are similar institutions.
Daimyo in various countries often open casinos and make loans to make profits.
But relatively speaking, their loan interest rates are quite low.
Even if it is a great ninja village like Kumogakure, I would generally not want to touch it.
"If your Excellency Raikage is willing to agree, here is a big gift."
Namikawa Yū smiled and sent a project document.
The project book lists interest-free investment projects one after another.
"Free assistance?"
Third Raikage was shocked. "Is Naruto serious?"
The project book states one project after another, investing in the agriculture and finance industries of Land of Lightning.
The investment money is fully provided by Konoha, and the profits will be shared with Kumogakure.
From Third Raikage's point of view, it's like Konoha is sending money to himself.
After all, the other party contributes money and efforts, but you don't have to do anything. You just sit back and make profits.
No matter how you look at it, this is a great thing.
"Of course it's not completely free."
Namikawa Yū explained, "As an equity party, Kumogakure also has to fulfill some obligations to protect the Konoha Group's business in Land of Lightning."
"If you encounter trouble, you must Raikage personally come forward to solve it."
If these people get together with Kumogakure, they start a business together.
Konoha Group conducts business within Land of Lightning, and Kumogakure, as a shareholder, protects Konoha.
The income obtained can then be distributed again.
"Is that all?"
Raikage asked back, and after confirming it several times, he chose to agree.
In his opinion, this is completely harmless.
Because he doesn't know what will happen if a country completely liberalizes many areas.
Today's Ninja World is still in the stage of armed confrontation, and the version has not evolved to that extent.
Only Namikawa Yū knows the consequences.
Of course, he personally felt that even if Raikage knew the consequences, he would most likely agree.
On the one hand, it is forced by the situation; on the other hand, the interests of Kumogakure and Daimyo of the Land of Lightning are not consistent.
Opening up many areas of the country will certainly bring great hidden dangers, but to Kumogakure it doesn't matter at all.
After all, they are not Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
This country does not essentially belong to them.
Under Ninja World's system, Ninja Village and Daimyo often have different intentions.
Once you understand this, many things will become easy to do.
Namikawa Yū has already thought about what to Land of Lightning.
Kumogakure As a ninja village, as long as you give them enough benefits, it will be enough to appease them.
He will bring high benefits to Kumogakure, allowing them to have enough to eat and drink from the Konoha Group, at the cost of which many Land of Lightning industries will be monopolized by the Konoha Group.
By the time they realized something was wrong, they would no longer be able to leave Konoha.
"Before anything has really been done, a country's market has been fully liberalized, even allowing your currency to circulate freely."
Standing there, Namikawa Yū was thinking about the content of the negotiation just now. He couldn't help but shake his head at this moment, not knowing what to say.
After a negotiation, both parties felt extremely satisfied.
Namikawa Yū goes without saying, and Kumogakure also feels good about himself.
After all, on the surface, they didn't seem to suffer much.
Although Lightning Release Chakra Mode was leaked, it was nominally an exchange. Being able to exchange for two powerful enough forbidden arts was not considered a loss.
Some of Eight-Tails's flesh and blood are equally worthless to Kumogakure.
As for the final free assistance, they think it is even more profitable.
All in all, at the end of the negotiation, both parties were satisfied.
"These guys seem happy."
On the coast of Land of Whirlpools, Shimura Danzō watched the people of Kumogakure leave by boat, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Some of them cry."
"Did Danzo you see Ji's intention?"
Mitokado Homura looked sideways.
Since just now, he has been thinking about the purpose of Namikawa Yū.
The so-called free assistance and interest-free loans seem to be Konoha's loss, but Namikawa Yū deliberately proposed it. No matter how you look at it, it is not that simple.
Mitokado Homura has been thinking about the intention of Namikawa Yū and wants to know the answer.
"I can't tell right now."
Shimura Danzō shook his head. "Since Danji did this deliberately, he must have his intentions."
"Kumogakure people seem to have benefited, but I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss sooner or later.
He spoke calmly, with determination written all over his face.
"Don't worry about Kumogakure people yet."
On the side, Utatane Koharu said, "Let's clean up the mess first."
"There's still a lot to clean up here."
Previously, the entire Land of Whirlpools had been reduced to a battlefield.
Although the battle is over now, the mess in this place still exists, and it is time to clean it up.
"Coming."
Mitokado Homura Several people nodded and quickly went over to take action.
While they were cleaning up, Namikawa Yū was also meeting with Uzumaki Sōmei.
"A few years ago, I wrote to warn you to pay attention to Kumogakure."
Looking at Uzumaki Sōmei in front of him, Namikawa Yū said softly, "Now it seems that the whirlpool Clan Head doesn't pay much attention to it."
Listening to Namikawa Yū's words, Uzumaki Sōmei seemed a little embarrassed.
To be honest, he did not take Namikawa Yū's warning seriously, and he even felt that Namikawa Yū was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But looking at it now, it is undoubtedly proved that Namikawa Yū is correct.
In just a short period of time, the people from Kumogakure ran to Land of Whirlpools and launched a surprise attack on the Uzumaki Clan.
If the people at Konoha hadn't provided timely support, it would have been really hard to tell what would have happened this time.
"I was careless."
He sighed deeply, "Times have changed, and it is no longer the time for a ninja to fight alone.
"With the strength of the Uzumaki Clan, if we fight any ninja village alone, we will probably be destroyed."
"So, how about you reconsider my previous proposal?"
Namikawa Yū opened his invitation. "As long as Uzumaki Clan is willing to relocate to Land of Fire, Konoha is willing to provide a piece of territory to the Uzumaki Clan."
