Sakumo, Don't Worry. You Bought Insurance-If Your Wife and Children Don't Remarry After You Die, You'll Have Made a Killing

"Cannot."

Uchiha Nan rejected Kakuzu without hesitation.

Kakuzu, that greedy creature, is incorrigible and wants to return to his old ways to pull off another big heist.

Hanzo the Salamander was very strong. He single-handedly defeated the Sannin in their youth, and was also protected by a group of Jonin.

However, considering that it's Kakuzu, the top bounty hunter, who's going to do this job, although it's extremely difficult, he might actually succeed.

After all, Kakuzu five lives. If he fakes his death and launches a surprise attack, the consequences are hard to predict.

"All right."

Kakuzu's expression darkened. He had long suspected that Konoha was behind the Amegakure's actions. After all, the new version of the Will of Rain and Konoha's new version of the Will of Fire were exactly the same: ninjas eliminating nobles and becoming the rulers of the country. Konoha's intentions were obvious to the Land of Fire.

However, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and indeed the Daimyo of the entire Ninja world, acted as if they hadn't seen Konoha's "treacherous intentions."

The difference between breaking through this thin layer of paper and not breaking through it is like night and day.

Perhaps Hanzo the Salamander is actually an inside agent of the Lord Hokage in the Land of Rain Land of Rain, trying to test the attitude and reaction of the Daimyo of the Genin world.

Kakuzu isn't interested in the affairs of these important figures; he's only interested in making money. Now that the Lord Hokage has personally stated his position, it seems this deal won't be done. What a pity!

Kakuzu took a sip of his iced cola with little interest and fell silent.

Hatake Sakumo gave Kakuzu a disdainful look; this money-grubbing guy had clearly made so much money from this Ponzi scheme.

Still not satisfied at all?

Although Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo a considerable amount of money, enough for a lifetime of wealth and luxury, he was content, considering that he had earned money that would cost him his life.

Sometimes I wonder, how much money is enough?

When Hatake Sakumo was young, he was unaware of the dangers of the Ninja world. He wanted to do more missions, earn more money, and make a name for himself.

Now I understand, especially the methods of the Lord Hokage standing before me.

Damn it!!

The Lord Hokage's methods are absolutely ruthless!

You can easily fall victim if you're not careful!

Human greed, wickedness, and shamelessness— Hatake Sakumo had seen far too much of it during his missions.

He's no longer the naive newcomer he used to be.

To be a ninja, one must learn to think thrice: think of danger, think of retreat, and think of change!

Once you recognize the danger, you should try to avoid it; this is called being prepared for danger!

Hiding where no one can see you is called resignation.

Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo to retire for a period of time. If he could put a time limit on it, he would hope it would be ten thousand years, and he would never leave the village to do missions again!

And Kakuzu, that Pixiu, will die out there sooner or later!

" Lord Hokage, please don't call me on these kinds of missions anymore. I plan to live out the rest of my life peacefully in Konoha. I've already written to my clan, and they'll be arranging a blind date for me in a couple of days. I want to marry a wife peacefully and have a few sons."

"Ideally, the son I give birth to should have black hair, blonde is fine too, but definitely not white. I'm afraid he'll die young outside."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Uchiha Nan and spoke slowly.

Uchiha Nan glanced at Hatake Sakumo with slight surprise. Was this still the same white-haired boy who would later be known as the Konoha White Fang?

How did things turn out like this? You look like you've finally seen the light.

"Okay. I'll try my best."

Remember to let me know when you get married, and I'll give you a big red envelope.

Uchiha Nan patted Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo the shoulder, temporarily agreeing to his request. Konoha didn't currently have any plans to reap wealth, but the future was uncertain.

Hatake Sakumo did his job very well and efficiently. Retiring so early is a waste of his talent. Did he think he could retire as soon as he'd made enough money?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Hatake Sakumo's face stiffened.

I'll try my best.

Could you please translate what "I will try my best" means?

What the hell does "I'll try my best" even mean?!

"Thank you very much, Lord Hokage."

Hatake Sakumo roared inwardly, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to challenge the Lord Hokage, and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

It seems I can't be too picky about blind dates anymore; I need to act quickly and have a son as soon as possible!

In this era, the customs of the Warring States period still existed, and the attachment to incense offerings was very strong.

Hatake Sakumo stopped talking, his mind preoccupied with the idea of having a son.

Uchiha Nan then looked at Kakuzu, intending to discuss the Mental Sauna Room with Kakuzu.

This heinous act certainly shouldn't be blamed on the Lord Hokage himself.

" Mental Sauna Room?"

"Can it make money?"

Kakuzu has no moral baggage; he only cares about making money.

"Guaranteed profit, and a huge windfall!"

Uchiha Nan turned his head and walked to his desk. He had already prepared a rough plan for the Mental Sauna Room, which he had kept under his drawer. As soon as the conditions were met, he would start working on it immediately.

"Okay! Okay!"

"As expected of the Lord Hokage!"

" The Sky Ninja Village is utterly wasting resources! They don't even bother to sell such valuable things, especially not the Lord Hokage!"

As Kakuzu watched, he praised Uchiha Nan's plan: by using the power of the Zero-Tailed Beast to turn human negative emotions into Chakra, they could purify human minds and sell the Chakra to the Konoha Electric Power Company. The cattle and horses whose negative emotions had been purified could then devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work.

Three ways to cook one fish!

This is an absolute steal!

As for how hellish this money-making process was, and how future generations would evaluate such a method of making money, Kakuzu didn't care at all.

This veteran ninja, who hails from the Warring States Period and once Hashirama Senju, has undergone ideological reformation by Uchiha Nan and is now at the forefront of the times, but he still retains the mindset of the old school of ninjas.

In order to achieve their goals, ninjas must make sacrifices and give up certain things. Every era has its own spirit and philosophy, and at least for Kakuzu, what he gave up were all useless things.

Morality, integrity... how much can you sell a pound of those for?

Hatake Sakumo glanced curiously at the business plan in Kakuzu's hand; it was rare for a money-making plan to excite Kakuzu so much.

"Little white-haired guy, what are you looking at?"

Do you want to get rich together with me?

Kakuzu noticed Hatake Sakumo's gaze and generously invited Hatake Sakumo to join his money-making plan, saying that the white-haired kid would be a good assistant.

"No, no!"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head like a rattle-drum; all he wanted now was to honestly go on blind dates, get married, and have a son, rather than get involved in dangerous money-making missions like Kakuzu's, who was willing to risk his life for money.

"Hmph, you deserve to never make a lot of money in your life!"

Kakuzu curled his lip, said disdainfully, and then turned to face Uchiha Nan.

" Lord Hokage, when will Konoha attack Sky Ninja Village? Without the Zero-Tailed Beast, this money-making plan can't be carried out."

Uchiha Nan looked helpless; he was also having a headache over this problem. The Ninja world was about to descend into chaos, and launching a rash attack on the Sky Ninja Village at this time would not be a wise choice.

Kakuzu Uchiha Nan's concerns. Such a profitable plan was still a long way off before it could be implemented!

Uchiha Nan and Kakuzu let out a long sigh.

colluding with each other

These words floated through Hatake Sakumo's mind as he remained silent, before he continued to contemplate his life's most important matter.

Although she wants to get married and have a son as soon as possible, she can't be too casual about her blind date, after all, she'll be spending her whole life with her.

First, the eyes must be big, the hair long, and the person must be beautiful.

My breasts need to be a little bigger, not for myself, but so my son won't go hungry.

And my butt... cough cough cough.

Suddenly, Nara Luyuan rushed in, holding intelligence reports in his hand.

" Lord Hokage, according to Lord Shinobu's intelligence, there's been unusual activity in Kumogakure. Their ninja forces returned to Kumogakure and quickly regrouped."

"Then what?"

"Proceed in the same direction as the original attack on Amegakure."

"Original direction?"

"That's impossible!"

Those burly, dark-skinned men had already been fleeced and suffered Daimyo losses; how could they possibly swallow their anger and carry out the orders given by the lord?

The Third Ai is not Hiruzen Sarutobi!!

Uchiha Nan immediately looked at the Ninja world map hanging in his office and carefully studied the Kumogakure's marching route in the intelligence report.

Their target is Iwagakure)?

Or perhaps it's Konoha?

The Kumogakure's attack on the Amegakure would have to take a roundabout route, passing through several countries, including areas within Konoha's sphere of influence, where they might potentially attack Konoha.

It is also possible that they will bypass the Land of Waterfall and head directly north to attack Iwagakure.

As for Sunagakure, the possibility of Kumogakure retaliating against Sunagakure is too small. The journey is too far, and the only way to travel that far to take revenge on Sunagakure would be if the Third Ai were possessed by the deceased Second Mizukage.

"The ninjas on the border of the Land of Fire must keep a close eye on the movements of the Kumogakure; they might resort to desperate measures and attack Konoha."

"Agarwood's intelligence network will provide support at any time."

"If Kumogakure dares to retaliate against Konoha, then immediately notify Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Konoha to form a ninja alliance to subdue Kumogakure."

Uchiha Nan gave orders to Nara Luyuan, while Hatake Sakumo, standing nearby, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

As expected of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Kumogakure's speed in action is truly impressive.

The truth has come out!

" Lu Yuan, have I been exposed?"

Hatake Sakumo got up from the sofa, went to Nara Luyuan's side, and rummaged around at Nara Luyuan Nara Luyuan, trying to get the latest information from him.

"At this point... well... you should have been thoroughly investigated by now."

"As you know, your title ' White Fang' is legendary in the Land of Fire's Bounty Exchange. Kumogakure found a tiny clue and then traced it all back up."

" Sakumo, you have a criminal record!"

Nara Luyuan looked at Hatake Sakumo with a sympathetic expression, and then slowly said.

Hatake Sakumo's heart sank instantly.

Do you want to hear my latest news?

Nara Luyuan looked at Hatake Sakumo, who seemed to be on the verge of losing his mind, and was somewhat worried about Hatake Sakumo's condition. He hesitated whether to tell Hatake Sakumo even worse news.

"Go ahead, I can handle this. What other bad news is there? Has my bounty increased again?"

You're half right.

"Half?"

Hatake Sakumo's eyes widened, unable to imagine how terrible the news from Nara Luyuan must be.

"Wait a minute, let me calm down first."

Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath and then exhaled, but it had no effect; his heart was still pounding.

" Kumogakure has publicly announced your personal information throughout the Land of Lightning."

"Am I the only one?"

Hatake Sakumo is somewhat deranged. He didn't do all the bad things alone, so why should he be blamed in the end?

"Yes... I remember you were the one who personally contacted the Kumogakure. The Kumogakure is probably deliberately retaliating against you."

Nara Luyuan Hatake Sakumo was indeed wronged, but that was the truth. Kumogakure was clearly plotting revenge against Hatake Sakumo.

Suddenly, Nara Luyuan remembered something, took out a wanted poster from his pocket, with a picture of Hatake Sakumo on it and a series of numbers below the reward amount.

"Now the victims of the Land of Lightning are all pointing the finger at you. Oh, by the way, here's your current bounty."

After all, your bounty was once the highest in the Land of Fire, so the Bounty Exchange pays special attention to your bounty and updates it daily.

"Because this Ponzi scheme has affected such a wide range of people, from high-ranking officials, nobles, merchants, ninjas to ordinary people in the Land of Lightning, it has wiped them all out!"

Therefore, most of the Land of Lightning is currently searching for you and has placed a bounty on your head. Your bounty is now very close to that of Hanzo the Salamander.

"In another day or two, it'll be a certainty that your bounty will exceed that of Hanzo the Salamander."

With trembling hands, Hatake Sakumo accepted his bounty poster; the string of numbers made his eyes water.

"Little White Hair, your head is really valuable. If you ever die, remember to let me know. Such a fine head shouldn't be wasted."

Kakuzu to the side, gloated, speaking the truth in a joking tone.

If Hatake Sakumo were to suddenly die one day, he would definitely dig up his grave, take out Hatake Sakumo's corpse, and Bounty Exchange exchange.

He was the most frugal man in his life and disliked wasting anything; he would always eat every single grain of rice in his bowl.

Although this is very unethical, it is well known that Kakuzu has no moral burden whatsoever; it all comes down to the same point.

How much does integrity and morality cost per pound?

"Shut up, you damned greedy pig!"

Hatake Sakumo really wanted to punch Kakuzu in the head, but he dared to make sarcastic remarks at this moment.

" Hatake Sakumo, don't worry too much. As long as you don't leave Konoha, you'll probably be fine..."

"If anything happens, let the Lord Hokage fix it for you."

Nara Luyuan wanted to comfort Hatake Sakumo, but the words that came out sounded strange, and even dragged in Uchiha Nan was watching the show.

I'll give you an egg!

Uchiha Nan really wanted to say that, but considering that Hatake Sakumo had risked his life for Konoha, he forcibly held back.

" Hatake Sakumo, don't worry, Konoha is implementing a welfare program specifically for ninjas."

Have you ever heard of insurance?

"I'll get this plan out as soon as possible. Once you pay to enroll, your family will receive a huge compensation if a ninja like you unfortunately sacrifices himself for Konoha."

"You're getting married soon, so all the compensation money will go to your wife and kids. As long as they don't remarry after you die, you'll definitely not lose out. Um... I shouldn't have said that last part."

Uchiha Nan quickly realized he had said the wrong thing.
