Fourth Raikage looked at Darui.
"You said you found something useful. Which company is it?"
Darui pushed the thickest piece of information in front of him.
"Heavenly Earth Trading Spiritual Object Collection and Cultivation Company."
"The one that specializes in collecting medicinal materials?"
"Yes. It is also the most unreasonable family."
Darui said,
"Heavenly Earth Trading has more than 100,000 employees. It accepts a large number of Wandering Ninja and also takes in displaced refugees."
"After Dark Exchange House was destroyed, those Wandering Ninja who had lost their place to go came into Heavenly Earth Trading in large numbers."
One Kumogakure Jonin couldn't help but interrupt.
"One hundred thousand people? Who do they sell the medicinal materials they collect?"
"There's no trace of them selling any output."
Darui pointed to the information at the back.
"This is also the only company owned by Uchiha that continues to suffer large losses. Every year, Heavenly Earth Trading eats up nearly half of the family's income."
The white-haired elder took the information.
"You've lost so much and you still keep it open?"
"Not only have they not stopped, they are still expanding."
Darui continued,
"Heavenly Earth Trading collects rare medicinal materials all over the world, and also purchases many common medicinal materials."
"They also bought a large number of hills with special environments to plant and study various rare treasures."
"What did the research reveal?"
"Can't find it."
"Where are the spiritual objects collected?"
"All are reserved for internal consumption of the Uchiha Family and will never be sold to the outside world."
The white-haired elder slowly tightened his grip on the page.
"More than 100,000 people, losing such a huge amount of money every year, just to provide medicinal materials for the family?"
Darui nodded.
"Judging from the flow direction that can be checked, this is indeed the case."
Raikage's Office became quiet again.
Some people previously thought that Heavenly Earth Trading was just an idle company that Uchiha raised after making money.
But now it seems that it has almost continuously exchanged the money earned from the family's other businesses into medicinal materials.
Fourth Raikage knocked on the table.
"How much can Uchiha earn in a year?"
Darui Turn to the last page.
"Based on the information collected from major industries, we estimate that Uchiha Family's total annual industry revenue reaches 1,700 billion taels."
"How much?"
Kumogakure Jonin, who was still sitting just now, suddenly stood up.
Darui repeated it.
"One hundred and seventy billion taels. It's just the total income, not the money left after expenses are deducted."
Even so, the number kept everyone in their tracks.
The white-haired elder lowered his head and stared at the line of words, reading it twice.
"The total compensation Kumogakure received from Land of Lightning is only 678 billion taels."
The person next to me had a dry voice.
"The compensation is still to be repaid in installments, and it has not been paid off yet."
Darui did not answer the call.
One hundred and seventy billion taels are placed in front of us, and everyone can calculate this account.
Even the total annual taxes of Land of Lightning and Land of Fire cannot reach the total annual income of Uchiha's major industries.
An elder slowly sat back in his chair.
"Wealth can rival a country."
No one thinks these four words are exaggerated.
Fourth Raikage's eyes fell back on Heavenly Earth Trading's information.
Nearly half of such a huge income was used to collect and cultivate spiritual objects. If those things were not sold, they could only be used by Uchiha himself.
When the Kumogakure ninja saw the Temple and the seventeen Kage Level displayed by the four Squad, he thought that Uchiha contained some kind of power that would allow the ninja to break through overnight.
Now, a clearer line lies before us.
"Ren didn't just cultivate a few geniuses."
The white-haired elder whispered,
"He used the entire family's wealth to support Temple for a long time."
"Rare medicinal materials are continuously sent to Inner Court, Alchemy Workshop and then used on those ninjas."
Another Jonin answered,
"In one year, we will not be able to come up with the resources consumed."
"No wonder the veteran players from those years broke through Kage Level one after another."
Darui looked at him without agreeing too much.
"Wealth and medicinal materials can explain why they have the conditions to practice, but they can't explain why so many people just cross the Kage Level threshold within one year."
Fourth Raikage raised his head and his eyes became cold.
"So, Uchiha also knows how to use medicinal materials on people."
He pressed the information of Heavenly Earth Trading.
"It's probably a secret medicine that can quickly increase the strength of ninjas."
No one responded immediately.
If there is such a thing, there will be an explanation for the huge amount of money that Uchiha pours into Heavenly Earth Trading every year.
A steady stream of natural and earthly treasures, plus secret medicine, can support Temple in cultivating strong men in batches.
But thinking about the seventeen Kage Level who had already appeared, everyone's hearts became even heavier.
Kumogakure can't just marvel that Uchiha can afford it.
They must find out how the other party turned money into combat power.
At the same time, Shinobi World's major forces are also investigating the changes in Uchiha Shrine.
They also cannot enter Inner Court and can only check public industries.
Heavenly Earth Trading has more than 100,000 employees, purchases of medicinal materials from all over the country, and accounts with huge losses every year, which quickly attracted the attention of all parties.
"You've lost money to this point and you still refuse to stop?"
"Because what they want is not to make money selling drugs at all."
"Uchiha's Kage Level came so quickly. The eighth achievement is related to the medicinal materials sent in by Heavenly Earth Trading."
More and more Ninja Villages are turning their attention to Heavenly Earth Trading.
Someone wants to start with the medicinal materials they purchased and come up with the secret medicine formula used by Uchiha.
This road doesn't look difficult to walk.
Heavenly Earth Trading's acquisition list is completely open to the public, and some medicinal materials will be rewarded in major ninja villages. As long as you get the list, you can at least see clearly what they bought.
But when the long list of names was actually placed in front of each village, the people responsible for checking were in trouble.
"This portion contains both rare spiritual objects and common medicinal materials."
"The flavors here are very unpopular, but the flavors over there can be seen everywhere. Are they really purchased by the same company?"
"There are also medicinal materials collected from different environments. If you buy so many, how many types of medicines should you prepare?"
An experienced veteran read the list from beginning to end, then checked it backwards, and finally could only shake his head.
"There are too many medicinal materials, and there is no rule that can be combined into a formula. It cannot be deduced based on this list."
He couldn't even tell which herbs Heavenly Earth Trading would be used together.
Other Ninja Villages have also failed to produce results. Most investigations have to be abandoned temporarily until this point.
Kumogakure refused to stop.
Fourth Raikage left the long list of medicinal ingredients on the table.
"Set up a special department. Report how many people and materials are needed."
Darui looked at him.
"Lord Raikage, other villages have already tried it. Just relying on the list may not yield results."
"Then continue to check what Heavenly Earth Trading actually purchased and what was planted on the hilltop it purchased."
Fourth Raikage's palm pressed on the data.
"Uchiha already has so many Kage Level. If you can't even figure out their trump cards, how can Kumogakure resist once a war breaks out in the future?"
Darui did not persuade me again.
Kumogakure then invested a lot of manpower and material resources, repeatedly studying the list of medicinal materials published by Heavenly Earth Trading, trying to find the secret medicine formula among the mixed names.
But they are destined not to get the result.
Because according to outside rumors, the secret medicine that can increase Jonin to Kage Level in batches does not exist.
