Kakuzu: "Little White Hair, Give Me Half Your Estate. After You Die, I'll Take Care of Your Wife."

Hell is so hellish

Lord Hokage!

Why do your words, spoken at a 36-degree angle, sound so cold?

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Hatake Sakumo gave Uchiha Nan a forced, insincere smile.

However, the Lord Hokage reminded himself that marriage is an important matter that cannot be rushed!

You must carefully choose your marriage partner; appearance is secondary, character is the most important!

"Don't mention it. Look on the bright side. Even if your wife remarries with your son in the future, at least your son will still be your son. Some unlucky guys wear a green hat their whole lives and raise someone else's son their whole lives!"

That would be a real tragedy!

Uchiha Nan gave an example to reassure Hatake Sakumo, saying that his situation wasn't the worst; the worst situation was when even the child wasn't his, and his wife remarried with the child.

Hehe... hehe

Hatake Sakumo's stiff smile froze for a moment; it seemed to make sense. He wasn't in such a terrible state after all.

wrong!

There's a reason for that!

The Lord Hokage is clearly talking nonsense!

Hatake Sakumo was inwardly terrified, and then he heard Kakuzu's voice.

"Little White Hair!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll cover for you. As long as you make a will before you die and leave half of your estate to me, I will take care of your wife after you die!"

I guarantee your wife and son will still take your surname, Hatake, and no other man will dare to seduce your wife!

"Of course, first you need to make sure the son is indeed yours. You must heed what the Lord Hokage says!"

Kakuzu eager for excitement, walked over to Hatake Sakumo Hatake Sakumo, patted him on the shoulder, and earnestly made a Hatake Sakumo.

The air was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere. Uchiha Nan wanted to burst out laughing, but he forcibly held back, because laughing at this moment would be really inappropriate.

Kakuzu, that Pixiu, is truly capable of doing such a thing. At the very least, it's well-known that Kakuzu dislikes women; he only loves money!

Hatake Sakumo's decision to use Kakuzu as his last resort was indeed a wise one.

However, Hatake Sakumo, the person involved, didn't seem to think so. He shook off Kakuzu's hand from his shoulder, his face turning purplish-red, and roared angrily at Kakuzu:

"You damned greedy pig!"

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You're just after my inheritance. Let me tell you, I'll definitely live to be a hundred!"

After finishing his Hatake Sakumo let out a breath, his heart filled with resentment towards Kakuzu. He wasn't even married yet, and didn't even have a son, and this damned greedy creature was already interested in his inheritance.

asshole!

"Alright, alright, Kakuzu meant well."

" Sakumo, don't get so agitated!"

Uchiha Nan stepped in to smooth things over, which improved Hatake Sakumo's expression somewhat. After giving Kakuzu a cold snort, he turned to look at Nara Luyuan.

Nara Luyuan just told me bad news; he was only half right.

The other half is still left.

" Lu Yuan, what about the rest of the bad news?"

Hatake Sakumo's voice trembled as he looked at Nara Luyuan with hopeful eyes, hoping the news wouldn't be too bad.

"Then I'll tell you."

" The Third Ai, A, personally ordered that if Kumogakure encounter Konoha White Fang while on a mission, they can abandon the mission without punishment and must immediately hunt down and kill Konoha White Fang!"

Nara Luyuan looked at Hatake Sakumo from afar and then told him the rest of the bad news.

"What??"

"How so!!"

"How can the Kumogakure Village treat the ninja code like a joke? Shouldn't ninjas complete their missions at all costs?!"

After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo roared and screamed in a somewhat frenzied manner. He never expected that the Third Ai would issue such an order!

"Little White Hair!"

"The promise I just made can be put in writing. If you've thought it through, remember to come find me!"

Kakuzu looked at Hatake Sakumo with a slightly sympathetic gaze; he had never seen such an unprecedented order before.

Ninjas are there to complete missions and make a living. If they can easily find excuses to abandon missions, can they still be considered qualified ninjas?

Is there any difference between a ninja who can't complete a mission successfully and a piece of trash?

Of course, similar orders from the Third Ai have appeared before, but they were all unspoken rules and never made public.

But the Third Ai, openly issued such an order, it seems that Kumogakure is determined to fight Hatake Sakumo to the death.

Hatake Sakumo had previously only offended ordinary people in the Land of Fire, but now he had provoked the Kumogakure, one of the five great ninja villages in the Ninja world.

Kakuzu thinks Hatake Sakumo's future is doomed!

"Go to hell!!"

"It's all your fault, you damn greedy creature! You dragged me into this mission, and you wrote all those underhanded tricks and deceptive articles!!"

"They even encouraged me to deceive the Third Raikage!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have gone on the mission with you in the first place. If I hadn't gone on the mission, I wouldn't have gone to Kumogakure. If I hadn't gone to Kumogakure, I wouldn't have lied to the Third Ai about investing in the Blue Sky Project. If I hadn't lied to the Third Ai investing in the Blue Sky Project, I wouldn't have been hunted down by Kumogakure..."

Hatake Sakumo, in a fit of rage, shifted all the blame onto Kakuzu. He wasn't the mastermind at all! The mastermind was that damned bastard, and also the Lord Hokage!!!

Kakuzu frowned and retreated behind Uchiha Nan.

He can't take the blame for this!

I have connections! Little White Hair!

" Lord Hokage, please help me!"

" Kumogakure and the others have gone mad, treating me like this!"

Uchiha Nan helplessly; Hatake Sakumo's mutterings just now sounded so familiar.

But what good solutions could he possibly come up with? If Kumogakure was truly determined to use all its strength to kill Hatake Sakumo, even if he stayed in Konoha and never left the village again, Hatake Sakumo's fate would be unpredictable.

After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days. Besides, the methods of ninjas are impossible to guard against!

"Don't worry, Hatake Sakumo!"

"I'll maximize your insurance payout; the more you insure, the more you'll be compensated."

Uchiha Nan changed the subject, saying that as for Hatake Sakumo, he should just pray for his own fate.

I will train hard and become the Konoha White Fang in the future. I certainly won't die so easily!

"Waaaaah, I'm going back now!"

Hatake Sakumo, his face filled with sorrow and tears streaming down his face, left Uchiha Nan's office.

The Lord Hokage is abandoning me!

" Lord Hokage, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I need to go back to the Finance Department to look at last year's and this year's accounts, to understand Konoha's recent financial situation, and to see if there are any investment opportunities."

Also, I heard that Konoha's weapons and medical supplies are selling very well, and they've recently received several large orders.

"I happen to have a Bounty Exchange option; the risk is a bit high, but the potential profit is very high!"

I'll go and negotiate a few big deals then.

Kakuzu talked about his channels at the Bounty Exchange, noting that there was a huge demand for high-quality weapons and explosives, especially medical supplies, which were already in short supply.

Kakuzu ways to drive prices even higher, but the risks are high, as there's a high possibility of Bounty Exchange advantage of each other. However, the profits are very substantial, making it worth the risk.

As soon as Kakuzu finished speaking, Nara Luyuan's eyes widened as he felt the pressure emanating from Kakuzu.

Having completed over a year's worth of tasks, you don't even need a vacation?

If you don't want it, you can give it to me!

Nara Luyuan wanted to say something, but felt Kakuzu been greedy for money, and the Earth Grudge Fear on his body could keep him energetic. At worst, he would just have to go to death row to get a heart transplant.

However, not everyone can be like Kakuzu!

You're such a competitive devil!

"Go for it!"

"I believe in you, Kakuzu!"

Uchiha Nan looked at Kakuzu with admiration.

Highly qualified, physically strong, greedy, lacking in morality, and willing to work overtime.

This is the perfect employee in my mind!

Other employees just like to slack off. They complain after working overtime for a few months, even though I'm not paying them. They don't know how lucky they are. If they don't appreciate my help, I'm going to deduct their overtime pay!

" Lu Yuan, what are you still standing there for?"

Have you finished your work for today?

"Is the report ready?"

"Can't you even prepare for tomorrow's work?!"

Uchiha Nan shifted his attention to Nara Luyuan, who was still standing there dumbfounded, Kakuzu had already hurriedly left and returned to his workstation!

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Luyuan quickly shouted, then swiftly left Uchiha Nan's office. He wanted to finish his report and return to his own office for a short rest, but it seemed he wouldn't have the chance!

Uchiha Nan snorted coldly and walked out of his office, pretending to leave work early. He then circled around and returned to the Hokage Building, where he began his patrol, surveying his territory like a lion.

Can working hard as a wage earner really be considered making money?

That's called earning a living through labor!

Only paid slacking off counts as making money, a principle Uchiha Nan understood well, but he also deeply resented it—after all, Uchiha Nan was the boss now.

This time, Uchiha Nan is going to launch a surprise attack to see how many slackers are taking a paid break and trying to get freebies from him!

Uchiha Nan arrived at the tea break room on the first floor. There was a noisy noise coming from inside the room. Uchiha Nan kicked open the door and went in.

The noisy chatter immediately disappeared, and a group of slackers were drinking milk tea and eating small cakes, with only the background music playing from the radio nearby.

You came from Dandong, returning my snow-white attire.

I want to eat Cantonese food!

Break through tears and fear not the sea

Uchiha Nan's lips twitched. Listening to this song at work is truly loyal!!

But the behavior of you bunch of slackers is anything but loyal.

You don't want to eat oranges anymore, you want to eat purple eggs, right?!

"You all seem to be having a very relaxed time, not at all like what Nara Luyuan said."

"We usually work until late at night, and we even have to work overtime to finish the tasks."

"Do you guys usually take advantage of this opportunity to slack off after I leave?"

Uchiha Nan spoke with a forced smile, and the group of slackers lowered their heads in shame, then followed behind Uchiha Nan, searching for the slackers layer by layer.

Just as Uchiha Nan predicted, this kind of evil behavior of taking paid breaks to slack off is simply impossible to guard against!

Uchiha Nan wandered around the Hokage Building for a long time and caught dozens of slackers, especially Toma Senju!

This guy is openly sleeping in the office!

" Toma, I'm so disappointed in you!"

"You're my Hokage's assistant, don't you know how to set a good example for your subordinates?!"

"You're actually slacking off during work hours!"

Uchiha Nan looked heartbroken, which made Toma Senju look disdainful. This damn Hokage was the most leisurely guy in the entire Konoha. He didn't even work half as many hours as I did every day. Why did he act so arrogantly in front of me?

Just because you're the Hokage, do I have to bow down?

You've already taken my daughter!

" Lord Hokage, I've finished my work for this morning."

Toma Senju looked indignant. His own daughter had been tricked away by Uchiha Nan, and all he'd done was skip work and take a nap—was it really necessary to make such a fuss?

This inherently evil Uchiha Hokage!

"Only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps!"

"Finished? Can't you do some work from this afternoon too!"

"Does this mean I won't have work tomorrow?"

"Can't you do your colleague's work for them?!"

"You just want to slack off!!"

Uchiha Nan immediately corrected Toma Senju's flawed thinking, asking why Toma Senju lacked any sense of ownership and couldn't treat Konoha like his own home.

Even if you don't become Hokage, you still have to dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to serving Konoha!

Toma Senju's eyes widened as he heard Uchiha Nan's "righteous" words. He was about to retort when Uchiha Nan interrupted him.

"What, are you upset about it?"

You're not getting your overtime pay for this month!

"And you guys, all your overtime pay for this month is deducted!"

" Kakuzu of the Ministry of Finance. He just returned from a business trip and immediately threw himself into his work. That's what makes a truly excellent Konoha ninja!!"

Uchiha Nan rightfully deducted the overtime pay from those who were slacking off, since that was the rule in the employee handbook.

He didn't arbitrarily deduct employees' wages; everything was done according to the law!

At the same time, he called on all those caught slacking off to learn from Kakuzu.

Toma Senju wanted to say something more, but Uchiha Nan left the room before Toma Senju could organize his thoughts to refute him.

After exposing a bunch of slackers, Uchiha Nan left the Hokage Building with a heavy heart. He hoped that all the ninjas in Konoha would follow Kakuzu's example and learn from Kakuzu work ethic!

The slackers only started complaining after the Lord Hokage left.

" Lord Hokage, this time you launched a surprise attack! My overtime pay for the past month is gone! My heart aches!!"

"Yeah, yeah! Every time the Lord Hokage leaves work early, we can slack off for a bit. This time we've really messed up. We'll have to be careful from now on!"

"Ugh! You bastard, you were slacking off with me, why didn't the Lord Hokage catch you?!"

"Idiot, I went to the toilet! Paying to take a dump is the mark of a true master of slacking off. I go eight times a day now!"

Why didn't you say so earlier?!

"You didn't ask!"

The slackers were exchanging tips on how to slack off behind Uchiha Nan's back.

Uchiha Nan returned to Tobirama Senju's laboratory, determined to find a way to correct the unhealthy trend of slacking off at work!
