"Oh, quite a lot. All told, it would take at least two or three hundred million."
Nagato and Otherworld Konan's heads buzzed when they heard that. Two or three hundred million wouldn't even be enough!
Lord Torifu actually dared to invest that much money in them!
What incredible nerve—and what unbelievable wealth!
To be honest, Torifu's personal funds alone could buy half the Shinobi World. If the Other World was as poor as it seemed, he could practically buy the whole thing.
"Don't be surprised. The investment is high, but so are the returns. Once Amegakure is developed into an aquaculture base, the money will come rolling in."
Nagato didn't dare imagine too much. He only wanted to develop steadily for now, and build Amegakure up into a strong source of support he could rely on.
Instead of things being as they were now, with the Akatsuki having to take on missions just to support the village.
"The people of the Land of Rain are deeply grateful for Lord Torifu's kindness!"
Nagato and Konan didn't know what to say. They truly had no idea how to thank Torifu for all his help.
After all, this was a sum of over a hundred million! It would be enough to develop the Land of Rain for decades!
Nagato was the leader of the Akatsuki, but from the organization's founding until now, he had never seen this much money!
It was hard to imagine just how wealthy Lord Torifu was.
"There's no need to thank me. This is a business deal for me, too. I saw your potential and decided to invest early. I believe I'll earn this money back soon."
Nagato nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, Lord Torifu. I won't let your investment go to waste."
Torifu had no reason to doubt Nagato.
