Having escaped the working class, Madara Uchiha had a lot of free time, during which time he became a loafer of Konoha.
Many villagers in Konoha knew this strange old man.
He sports the Uchiha hairstyle, but he blurts out that he is Uchiha. When talking about the Uchiha, he keeps talking non-stop, showing an extreme knowledge of the Uchiha.
At a small square table, the men drinking tea could easily start a conversation, from trivial family matters to the beautiful widow of Konoha, and inevitably veer into politics.
Between cups of tea, Madara Uchiha spoke with great confidence, commenting on the heroes of the Ninja world, saying that the First Tsuchikage, Mizukage, Kazekage were nothing but mediocre people!
"In my opinion, only Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha can be called heroes in the Ninja world; the rest are nothing special!"
"Of course, I think Hashirama Senju is still slightly inferior to Madara Uchiha!"
" The Uchiha Sharingan the best in the world!"
" The Senju Clan... no, no, apart from Hashirama Senju, not a single one of them is any good!"
"What? Tobirama Senju?"
"He's a complete idiot!!"
"Lord Tobirama is the Second Hokage?"
"What's wrong with Hokage?!"
"What about the Third Hokage Uchiha Nan?"
" Uchiha Nan? Hmm. Not bad!"
Madara Uchiha sipped his tea, looking inscrutable. To be fair, this was already a very high compliment for Madara Uchiha.
"You really know your stuff!"
"Of course!"
Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha outrageous remarks to heart.
There are plenty of people who can boast even more than Madara Uchiha when it comes to mere political maneuvering.
"Grandpa Madara Pillar, are you bragging to someone again?"
"You brats, why aren't you in class today? You didn't skip class, did you?!"
A group of the Ninja Academy students spotted Madara Uchiha and quickly surrounded him.
Madara Uchiha met a large group of students from the Ninja Academy in Konoha. Spending time with these innocent students, who hadn't yet experienced the brutal battles of the Ninja world, always reminded Madara Uchiha of his own youth. Hashirama was there back then too.
School started its holiday a few days ago.
"You're on holiday."
Madara Uchiha muttered to himself, then smiled and pulled a box from his pocket.
Are we playing Ludo again today?
"Or how about playing Ninja Kill?"
The students shook their heads; they hadn't come to see Madara Uchiha today to play board games.
A new arcade had opened in Konoha. Going to the arcade to "shake the lever" was much more fun than playing board games, but considering their limited funds, the group of students unanimously decided to bring along a "rich guy" to go with them.
Madara Uchiha always regarded money as dirt, caring nothing for wealth or reputation as long as he could have fun. This was widely known among the students.
The extravagant act of spending a fortune to collect trading cards has become a popular topic of conversation among students.
"Uncle Madara Pillar, we're going to the arcade today,"
"What's an arcade? Is it fun?"
"It can make you so excited you'd dance!"
The students have already found Madara Uchiha's "sensitive words".
"Oh~ Interesting~ Lead the way!"
"Does he even know how to play? He got a 1-on-3 victory!!!"
"Noob!!"
"You can't use Tobirama Senju, that thing's mechanics are too overpowered, it's totally overpowered!"
"The more you practice, the better!"
"I'm ranked 86th in the ranked ladder, let me test your mettle!"
Madara Uchiha followed the students to the arcade, which was already packed with people, filled with all sorts of noise!
"Uncle Madara Pillar, this is a really fun game. Of course, as long as your skills are recognized by the arcade, you can participate in the ranked matches. Those experts usually play on the third floor, but as a newbie, you can only play on the first floor right now."
"Ranked Tournament?"
"I can only stay on the first floor?"
Madara Uchiha astutely caught the key words!
He was Madara Uchiha; reaching the top of the third floor was only a matter of time.
Madara Uchiha revealed a contemptuous smile, reached into his pocket and bought coins in one swift motion, filling a whole basket with game tokens. Madara Uchiha generously greeted the students.
All expenses today will be paid for by me, Madara Uchiha!
"Kids, who else dares to disagree?"
"I only need to familiarize myself with this game a little before I can easily defeat you!"
"I really am the strongest, hahaha!!!"
Soon, Madara Uchiha found his rhythm, defeating the students around him one by one. Then he began to laugh wildly, drawing stares from those around him.
Actually, he activated his last remaining Sharingan, which was hidden beneath Madara Uchiha, secretly exerting its power. Of course, Madara Uchiha's own talent also played a small role.
Perhaps Madara Uchiha really was a gaming genius.
" Madara Pillar, if you're truly invincible, why not go up to the third floor and challenge the strongest Uchiha Hikari?"
" Uchiha Hikari?"
Is she the strongest?
I will defeat her!
Madara Uchiha spoke with extreme confidence. So what if she was a descendant of the Uchiha? He was the ancestor of the Uchiha. He could crush her with his seniority alone, not to mention his strength!
The only thing I lack is a little bit of proficiency!
Land of Lightning
A meeting room
"Gentlemen, you are all key members of Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Do you know why we've come to the Land of Lightning this time?"
The ninjas sitting below nodded. They had come to the Land of Lightning to carry out a Ponzi scheme: make a quick buck and run away!
"Then you tell me!"
Kakuzu casually pointed to a ninja from Sunagakure.
"My lord, we're here to carry out a Ponzi scheme, to swindle the fools of the Land of Lightning."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!!"
Kakuzu immediately interrupted him.
"We are an investment company with a grand plan—the Blue Sky Project. We aim to lead our brothers and sisters in the Land of Lightning to invest in the Blue Sky Project, get rich, and reach the pinnacle of life!"
"Everyone must remember this!"
We are not scammers!
Kakuzu slammed his hand on the table.
If you can't even fool yourself in a pyramid scheme, how can you fool others?
What kind of scoundrels did Sunagakure and Iwagakure send?
Kakuzu sighed slightly. He knew he couldn't accomplish anything great with this group of old-fashioned ninjas!
Moreover, these ninjas' disguises were terrible; their clothes were Eight Gates, and they didn't look like investors at all.
They need to be educated, but luckily I was prepared.
Kakuzu gestured to the white-haired boy beside him, Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo immediately understood and dragged over a dozen boxes of clothes from the next room.
"All of you, put these clothes on! I need to give you a crash course, otherwise the company won't be able to attract a single investor!"
Soon, the ninjas were dressed in uniform suits and ties.
"We must remember our slogan!"
"Sleep on the floor today, be the boss tomorrow!"
"Everyone, perk up!"
"You are all successful people, elites who have reached the pinnacle of life through the Blue Sky Project!"
Kakuzu glared at them with his tiger-like eyes, his battle-hardened aura making them breathless. His hoarse yet magnetic voice began his sales pitch: he had to brainwash these ninjas first!
"You, you're a beneficiary of the Blue Sky Project! How much money have you made!"
Kakuzu randomly pointed to a ninja, who seemed a little flustered. His uniform was a bit tight, and his tie made it hard for him to breathe. Suddenly being called upon by Kakuzu, the ninja, feeling dizzy, tentatively gave a number.
One million taels?
"It's too small-minded, its scope is too narrow!!"
"What's a million taels of silver!"
"One hundred million taels!"
"We're all billionaires!"
"Tell them about your story, Hatake Sakumo, and everyone here can become a billionaire like him!"
Hatake Sakumo reluctantly stood up from his chair and began to recount his glorious past achievements with great emotion.
The legendary Ponzi scheme master, Konoha White Fang, used his skills to tell the story with many twists and turns, making the myth of getting rich overnight so captivating.
The crowd gasped in surprise; there really was a billionaire here!
Wouldn't that mean we could also make a killing and become billionaires?
The ninjas, who were not very motivated at first and felt that this plan was just nonsense, became excited. It turned out that cutting leeks was really profitable.
"I'm telling you, you'll all be as rich as Hatake Sakumo in the future!"
"This is a prime example of the Blue Sky Project!"
"Making money is as easy as breathing if you follow the right person!"
Tell me who you are and what you are!
Kakuzu strained his voice, raised his fist, stood tall and proud, and spoke with fervor.
Below was a perfectly synchronized response!
"We are billionaires!"
"One more time!"
"We are billionaires!"
"Very good!!!"
What is our slogan?
"Sleep on the floor today, be the boss tomorrow!"
Kakuzu nodded in satisfaction; at least it looked somewhat decent.
"Marketing case studies are extremely important. I have prepared hundreds of successful plans here. Each of you has a corresponding plan, and you must all memorize them thoroughly. Then, you must be able to recite them to me with the same passion and eloquence as Hatake Sakumo."
"Also, these are professional sales pitches; you need to memorize them all!"
After several days and nights of surprise attacks, the ninjas had already stormed the house, and success stories were readily available. However, Kakuzu was still not satisfied. In order to speed things up, he did not hesitate to use Genjutsu on the group of ninjas. With the psychological suggestion they already had, coupled with their opening their minds and fully undergoing the brainwashing of the Genjutsu, a group of self-help cult masters were born!
They are all billionaires!
soon
One after another, shell companies have opened grandly in various cities of the Land of Lightning!
The sound of firecrackers crackled incessantly, and passersby were clearly very interested in the newly opened company.
Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd..!
What a unique name!
After a period of building momentum, distributing flyers, and spending money to grease palms, the name of Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd.. quickly spread.
It is said that this is a multinational corporation from the Land of Fire, whose business has spread throughout the entire Ninja world.
No, no, no.
The real boss behind this company is actually Daimyo from the Land of Fire?
No, it's from the Land of Earth!
Opinions were divided for a time.
Kakuzu felt that the preparations were almost complete, and then...
He had Hatake Sakumo rent the most luxurious meeting hall in the area and begin his motivational speech.
free!
It's free!
Sharing successful experiences!
Teaching how to escape poverty and achieve prosperity
Everyone who comes will receive five eggs and a pound of rice.
The residents, who were already curious about the mysterious Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd.., were very interested in the eggs and rice, or rather, the success stories. In no time, the meeting hall was packed.
The meeting hall was playing very energetic and catchy music. Suddenly, the entire hall went dark, and then all the lights shone on Hatake Sakumo.
Hello everyone, brothers and sisters.
Let me introduce myself first. My name is xxx.
I was once an ordinary person, living a precarious life, suffering from hunger and cold, until one day I met a man who was the chairman of Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd..
He is a genius. No one in the entire Ninja world knows how to make a company profitable better than him; he was born with this ability.
With his help, I invested in a project of the Blue Sky Project company. In just two years, I became a successful person, and now my net worth has reached eight figures.
As the saying goes, "When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."
Hatake Sakumo, dressed in a suit and tie, spoke with great passion and eloquence, appearing as a successful person. The people sitting below the lecture hall had never seen such a scene before. Some believed him, but the majority were skeptical.
But it doesn't matter, I've already got the eggs and rice, so I'm definitely not at a loss!
"Is there anyone willing to join the Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd., become a member of the Blue Sky Project, and become a successful person like me?"
"I know you brothers and sisters have concerns. Our Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd.. has launched a new investment plan. No matter how much principal you have, you can get a 20% profit within two months. Not only that, you can also withdraw your investment principal at any time after two months. It's okay to withdraw it earlier, but the profit will be reduced."
"If you sign up for the Blue Sky Project today, the first ten people to sign up will receive a 30% profit!"
After Hatake Sakumo finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Clearly, everyone was not stupid; the vast majority of them were there to get the eggs and rice for free, and there was absolutely no way they would open their pockets!
"I do!"
"I'd love to too!!"
"And me!!!"
Hatake Sakumo smiled; he had prepared dozens of shills.
"Only the top ten! Brothers and sisters below, don't get excited!"
"The brave ones can eat the first crab and get the biggest piece of meat!"
Let's give him a round of applause!
For a moment, thunderous applause filled the hall, and hearts were stirred.
Is anyone actually investing?
The others in the hall watched as dozens of people swarmed onto the stage, and some of them felt a surge of interest.
The shills took the microphones and went around declaring their intentions, saying they would donate 100,000, 200,000, or 50,000.
"I want to get rich!!"
"I believe my teacher can definitely help me make a lot of money."
"Me too"
"Applause for their courage!!"
The enthusiastic music, clapping, unrestrained smiles, and waving arms brought the atmosphere to its peak.
A small number of people are gradually deciding to try investing a little money.
Why go through all this trouble just to scam me out of this little bit of money?
The victims, now skilled at deceiving themselves, have become adept at it.
