Investigating the Battle Site

Fang Xu took out another Flying Thunder God Short Sword.

"Keep this short sword on you."

"If you encounter danger you can't handle, channel Chakra into the hilt."

"Once I sense the coordinate changing, I'll come straight over."

Kakuzu accepted the short sword.

He carefully examined the Jutsu Formula and immediately understood the item's value.

With Fang Xu able to provide support at any time, the caravan and workshop had an additional layer of the strongest protection.

Even ordinary shinobi villages might not dare to openly seize them.

Kakuzu put away the short sword without leaving immediately.

"Boss."

"What else is it?"

"Startup capital."

Kakuzu held out his hand.

"Building a workshop requires buying land."

"Recruiting workers, purchasing raw materials, and establishing a caravan all require money."

"Before the first batch of goods is produced, there won't be any returns."

Having only just pledged allegiance, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever about asking his boss for money.

No matter how valuable the formula was, it could not directly become a workshop.

But Fang Xu did not take out any money.

"There is a wealthy merchant named Gato in the Land of Waves."

"He controls a large number of caravans, ships, and liquid assets."

"The assets accumulated by the Gato Family are enough for you to complete the preliminary preparations."

Kakuzu understood instantly.

"Rob the money from him?"

"Yes."

"Gato accumulated his wealth through smuggling, monopolizing shipping, and exploiting civilians."

Fang Xu's tone was calm.

"You don't need to feel guilty about using his money as startup capital."

Kakuzu had not felt guilty to begin with.

He only cared about exactly how much money Gato had.

"I'll personally make a trip to the Land of Waves."

Kakuzu put away everything.

"Once I get the funds, I'll immediately begin building the factory."
