The Path to Redemption Lies Within.

Kakuzu heard a crackling sound of electricity in his ears. At that moment, he felt lost, and all the years he had spent diligently doing bounty quests to earn money seemed utterly ridiculous.

Can this money-making game really be played like this?

Is this little white-haired guy the only one playing like this, or are all of them playing like this?

But that doesn't matter anymore!

Please teach me, Master!

This is practically making money while lying down; you have to learn it!

"Little brat, uh... no, sir, could you teach me?"

Kakuzu's hoarse voice trembled slightly; this was the first time he had ever begged a mere brat in front of so many people.

His pathetic pride was still bothering him, but Kakuzu ignored it. What's the value of pride anyway?

If Kakuzu were valuable, I'd sell them all; now I'm withdrawing money using my self-respect!

"You want to learn futures trading with me?"

White Fang was somewhat surprised. He didn't understand futures trading at all; he had been operating the entire time under the guidance of Lord Hokage Uchiha Nan.

However, White Fang did not panic; the Lord Hokage had already made ample preparations for him.

How can an excellent expert not take on a few Disciple and have a group of supporters? That would be unreasonable.

"Yes!"

Kakuzu's tone was sincere, his gaze fixed intently on White Fang. He was determined to learn this money-making method.

White Fang pulled a small booklet from his pocket, filled with Uchiha Nan's stock trading insights from his previous life. As long as you learn from it, you can become a qualified "leek" (a term for someone easily taken advantage of).

There are no secrets to stock trading; only insiders and big players can make money.

"The path to salvation lies within it!"

White Fang handed the booklet to Kakuzu. The booklet had several large, golden words written on it: From Zero to Stock Market Master!

After saying that, White Fang left his seat and gracefully departed under the watchful eyes of everyone. The Lord Hokage had instructed him to maintain the image of a master, occasionally reciting his prepared remarks, and to remain mysterious when accepting disciples and passing on secret techniques.

You only become a wise person when you say things that no one understands.

That line was taught by the Lord Hokage; he said to include it in the booklet. White Fang doesn't understand why he should do that, but since it was arranged by the Lord Hokage, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Kakuzu took the booklet, watched White Fang leave, and even asked a question.

"Please leave your name, sir!"

Just call me White Fang!

Kakuzu felt a surge of admiration. It seemed he had encountered a master. He had obtained the secret manual so easily. Knowledge monopoly was very serious in the Ninja world. If you wanted to learn some real skills, you either had to be born into a good family or join an organization like a ninja village and work for them.

Kakuzu eagerly opened the manual, and everyone around him swarmed around him, eager to know what was written on the manual left behind by White Fang.

The essence of investing lies in buying when others are selling.

"."

Everyone else died, but I survived.

"."

Kakuzu had just turned a page and was about to read it carefully when he noticed a crowd had gathered around him, so he immediately closed the booklet.

This is a secret manual that Master White Fang gave himself; can you really get it for free?

If you all learn it, what money will I make?

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Kakuzu unleashed a murderous aura, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop significantly. The unbridled killing intent caused everyone around to scatter immediately.

A sense of impending death sent chills down their spines. Compared to money, life was clearly more important. Besides, even if you learned a profound secret manual, it didn't mean you could master it.

The Rabbit Country's Road to Heaven: Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry—all kinds of knowledge are offered for free, but how many people can truly understand them?

Kakuzu nodded in satisfaction after everyone had left, then found a seat in the service hall and began to read carefully.

The contents of the booklet are truly insightful; Kakuzu nodded as he read, deeply agreeing with the theory of "leeks" (a metaphor for exploiting leeks). No wonder Mr. White Fang could make money!

Hokage's Office

Unlike before, the office now has a long sofa.

Uchiha Nan rested her head on Kaede's lap; the smooth, white thighs were cool to the touch, and felt wonderful!

Maple's fair hands were massaging Uchiha Nan's head as he sat up, while Rin peeled grapes and fed them to Uchiha Nan.

Extravagant, far too extravagant!

Uchiha Nan gave up on his moral struggles. Since the whole village already knew about Kaede and Rin, why should he pretend? He might as well just take them to his office and make them his secretaries!

To prevent the two of them from being bored at home every day, they would have plenty of energy to entangle with him at night, Uchiha Nan initially enjoyed very much.

Over time, it became somewhat like hell.

It's truly heartbreaking that the hardware can't keep up.

"Bang bang bang"

A knock on the door broke Uchiha Nan's enjoyment of life. Uchiha Nan got up with some reluctance, after all, it was still working hours, and as the Hokage, he couldn't slack off in front of his subordinates.

Uchiha Nan straightened his clothes and said, "Come in." Uchiha Tomita then entered, holding an urgent confidential report.

As soon as I entered, I saw Feng and Ling. My brows furrowed slightly. The door was closed in broad daylight, and there were two pretty women inside the room.

Lord Hokage, you can't be so lax!

However, Uchiha Tomita didn't say anything. This was his boss's private matter, and it wasn't his place as a subordinate to interfere.

"Feng, Ling, you two go out for a moment."

Seeing Uchiha Tomita's anxious expression, Uchiha Nan knew that something must have happened at the front lines and that he had important information to discuss with her.

After saying that, Kaede and Rin tactfully left, leaving Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita in the room.

"An urgent military situation has arisen in Kirigakure!"

Uchiha Nan's heart skipped a beat. The attack wasn't scheduled yet, so why was there a problem on the Kirigakure side?

"Explain the situation in detail!"

"The Kirigakure and the Uzumaki Shinobi have already clashed."

"."

Uchiha Tomita explained the situation in detail.

Kirigakure is an isolated island nation located overseas, geographically similar to the troublemaker Daiying on Earth. However, Kirigakure is clearly not destined to become Daiying; its strength is insufficient, and the continental balance strategy simply doesn't work.

This time, they planned to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, secretly mobilizing their troops. However, despite their best efforts, they were discovered by Konoha's close ally Land of Whirlpools.

The Whirlpool Shadow of Uzumaki Shinobi Village led his Uzumaki Shinobi in a surprise attack on Kirigakure's port, intending to burn the warships Kirigakure was using to launch a sneak attack on Konoha.

He didn't even say hello to Konoha; he truly is Konoha's good brother.

The Land of Whirlpools is a small country, Uzumaki Shinobi Village is an even smaller ninja village. Although the Uzumaki Clan has some strength, it's like an egg hitting a rock when facing a large ninja village like the Kirigakure.

Normally, small ninja villages would run away as fast as they can when faced with this kind of situation. For example, the Land of Grass is geographically located between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Amegakure, which aspires to become the sixth largest Amegakure. It sides with whoever is stronger, making it a complete opportunist.

However, the original Konoha was a bit inhumane; good brothers were in each other's hearts, but if something happened, they couldn't be reached by phone.

This surprise attack likely sowed the seeds of the Uzumaki Clan's eventual annihilation.
