Kakuzu: Oh no, did I miss something!
More than ten days have passed.
Damn it!
"These ninja clan members are disgusting me!"
Uchiha Nan slammed his fist on the table in his office in a fit of rage. The news that the Daimyo had given him Kaede and Rin had suddenly spread throughout Konoha.
Without even a second thought, it was the work of those ninja clans in the village. They just temporarily suspended the distribution of over 10 billion taels of silver; it's not like they refused to give it to them!
Disgusting, disgusting!
Uchiha Nan felt utterly humiliated. Although it was bound to happen sooner or later, the day had finally come. Uchiha Nan felt that he still had some sense of shame, but he couldn't find any way to refute it.
The twins were indeed very radiant.
The recent battle meetings held by Uchiha Nan haven't gone smoothly either. The Senju Clan keeps finding fault with them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, but Uchiha Nan has ignored them.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tomita pushed open the door and brought in an urgent intelligence report. After reading it word by word, Uchiha Nan's anxious mood improved somewhat.
The Kirigakure and the Iwagakure will declare war on the Konoha in a month. The Mu, the Second Tsuchikage and the Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage are really in sync, choosing attack dates that are only a few days apart.
If Uchiha Nan hadn't known that the Mū and Hozuki Gengetsu were sworn enemies, Uchiha Nan would have thought the two of them had conspired to attack Konoha together.
The Mū was wrapped up like a mummy because he was burned by Hozuki Gengetsu's Steaming Danger Tyranny. He would have to live the rest of his life wrapped in bandages containing special medicine.
They always fight whenever they meet, harboring all sorts of grudges.
In that case, the futures market can't accumulate goods so slowly anymore; it has to start slowly driving up the price. Uchiha Nan got the data report and found that the slow purchase of pig iron during this period had exceeded 4 billion taels. The Daimyo was even more greedy than him and had already acquired more than 4 billion taels of goods.
The price of pig iron, which had been falling, has been trading sideways for some time.
Next, they would slowly pump up the price, gradually luring those retail investors into the trap. Uchiha Nan smiled; after so much planning and scheming, the time to reap the rewards was finally approaching.
A few days later.
Bounty Exchange
Kakuzu spent more than twenty days completing another bounty mission, as usual bringing heads to exchange for the bounty. This time the mission was not difficult, and the bounty was only a little over 200,000 taels, but Kakuzu did not care.
Missions with high bounties and low difficulty are not easy to come by, and he's not the only bounty hunter in the Ninja world.
High-difficulty, high-reward missions are extremely difficult to execute; even a slight mistake could lead to disaster, the loss of a heart, and a humiliating escape. Missions with reasonable prices and moderate difficulty are more favored by Kakuzu.
After leaving the Bounty Exchange, Kakuzu went to the weapon shop to sell a batch of second-hand weapons as usual. Hearing the weapon shop owner talking about Pig Iron Futures again, Kakuzu suddenly remembered the white-haired boy White Fang he had met before.
That guy must have lost a lot of money by now.
Kakuzu took the money, counted it one by one, and enjoyed the feel of the banknotes.
One should be more practical in life; speculative and profiteering are not things one should do.
Should we go take a look?
Kakuzu didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing, but when he thought about how professionally White Fang had analyzed things that day, he started to feel itchy and instinctively felt that he should take a look.
"Let's take a look. It won't take much time anyway," Kakuzu convinced himself as he arrived at the entrance of the Trading Hall.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Kakuzu surprised to find that there seemed to be significantly more people than before.
"Investing follows certain patterns; everything in the market is manipulated by a powerful force called the market economy."
The same applies to futures.
"."
White Fang sat at a table in the lobby on the first floor, speaking eloquently. These were the words that Uchiha Nan had given him. He had heard these words countless times when he was trading stocks in his previous life. A group of people had already gathered around White Fang, listening to his "bible".
With the massive funds from Uchiha Nan and the Daimyo's national capital, the price of pig iron has begun to rise slowly in recent days. It has not only returned to the previous 630,000 taels per ton, but has now risen to 810,000 taels per ton, an increase of 30%!
Those who dared to buy at the bottom earlier have already seen their accounts turn green!
An expression of piety appeared on everyone's faces. What White Fang said made a lot of sense. Although they couldn't understand it, it didn't stop them from thinking that what White Fang said made sense.
Because practice has proven that White Fang's theory is correct, the price of pig iron has indeed rebounded.
"What's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"
Kakuzu was still confused about the situation. He only saw a group of people surrounding the white-haired brat, chanting profound and obscure phrases that sounded very advanced. Kakuzu was not very knowledgeable, said that he couldn't understand them at all.
However, the onlookers listened with rapt attention, nodding occasionally as if they truly understood what they were hearing.
"Look at that, that's what an expert does, their analysis is so thorough."
"Did you understand?"
"You probably understand now."
"Then why don't you buy futures?"
I'll wait and see.
The audience members here are not children; they are very familiar with the price of pig iron. The price of pig iron fluctuates greatly. When a ninja war arrives, the price of pig iron will immediately increase several times. A mere 30% increase is not worth the risk for them.
They might win back the game overnight, but that doesn't stop them from agreeing with White Fang's theory, because he really made money.
"You brat!"
Kakuzu walked through the crowd to White Fang White Fang greeted him in an unfriendly tone.
"Oh, it's you. What brings you here? Are you regretting not listening to me back then?"
White Fang looked genuinely excited; this time, his expression was real, White Fang wasn't faking it.
White Fang had previously bought ten million taels in one go, and the slow decline in price made him uneasy.
Although the Lord Hokage told him it was a sure thing and he wouldn't lose money, it was still a lot of money. A drop of even one percent would mean 100,000 taels, and the loss was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
But now things are different. His account has turned a profit, rising by a full 30%, earning him three million!
This is equivalent to a high-level S-rank mission. S-rank missions take anywhere from one month to three to five months and can be life-threatening. But these days, he's just drinking tea in the VIP room, and the money has arrived in his account effortlessly.
He couldn't believe how fast he was making money!
"What are you regretting?"
How much money did you make?
Kakuzu realized that this kid was showing off after making money, but he didn't care. Kakuzu been a dominant force in the Ninja world for so many years, and he wasn't someone who had never seen money before.
How much money can you make with futures trading?
With a mere flick of his body, he could kill a few minor characters and pocket over 200,000 taels of silver.
"Not much, only three million taels in about twenty days."
"How many?"
How much did you say?
Kakuzu couldn't believe his ears; he suspected he had misheard the numbers.
"Three million taels, is that a lot?"
"Never seen the world!"
White Fang looked arrogant. Making quick money was too easy, and his values regarding money had become subtly distorted, even affecting his humble nature.
Kakuzu's eyes widened, and his dark green pupils suddenly contracted.
Oh no, have I missed a chance to make a fortune?!
That kid really made money.
For those of you who are into stocks, futures, and cryptocurrencies, it's best to avoid them if possible. Without insider information, even if you make money through luck in the short term, you'll eventually lose it all, sob sob.
