Tetsuya picked up the materials on the table and looked through them casually. There seems to be nothing unreasonable about it.
But it doesn't matter. In many cases, reporting these reports to the financial department is just a process.
Basically, the Land of Grass project did not follow the National Treasury line. Basically, as soon as the project came out, someone took the initiative to take it over.
"Okay, just do whatever you want."
Kakuzu shrugged.
"Actually, it doesn't make sense if I don't process these documents. Anyway, no project money is taken from National Treasury. On the contrary, the money in National Treasury is getting more and more."
"Hey, it turns out you know everything."
Kakuzu also laughed.
"Boss, you underestimate me too much. How could I not know? Every time those people come over, they always deposit money to and from National Treasury, but never withdraw any money.
And I basically go in and count the money in National Treasury every day. I know very well whether it's less or more, or whether it's too much."
"Ah?"
Tetsuya's eyes suddenly widened.
"National Treasury is so big, you have to count it every day?"
"Yes, this is my job."
"Aren't you tired?"
"How could that happen?"
Kakuzu smiled and waved his hand.
"This is my hobby. Seeing so much money makes me happy."
"Okay."
Tetsuya really underestimated Kakuzu's love for money.
"By the way Kakuzu, actually I came to you this time because I have something to ask you."
"Is there any task that I need to complete? If there is a task, boss, just give me the order. Since I took over as Finance Minister, I haven't done anything for a long time. I feel like my body will get rusty if I don't find something to do."
Tetsuya sat down opposite Kakuzu and sorted out his words before speaking.
"Kakuzu, after all these years, have you ever thought about returning to Takigakure?"
At the mention of this familiar name, Kakuzu's expression changed, and the smile on his face also disappeared.
"Takigakure, what a familiar yet unfamiliar name."
"It has been many years since you left Takigakure."
"It's been almost fifty years."
Kakuzu said.
"Not long after the Shinobi Village system was established, I received an order from the top brass of Takigakure to assassinate Hashirama Senju.
As a result, the mission failed, and in order to avoid Konoha being held accountable, the senior management passed all the responsibilities onto me.
I risked my life to fight God of Shinobi for the sake of the village, but it ended up like this. Haha, it's really ridiculous.
So, in order to fight back against the injustice in the village, I killed the senior management at the time and took away Secret Technique Earth Grudge Fear to become Rogue Ninja.
If I hadn't met the boss, I might still be taking bounty missions to kill people."
"Haha, I can only say that the two of us are really destined. After all, we have similar hobbies."
"We all like money, right?"
"Hahaha, isn't it?"
Kakuzu shook his head.
"No, boss, there are still differences between the two of us."
"Oh, what do you say?"
Kakuzu said seriously.
"Boss, what you like is not actually money itself. What you like is actually the benefits that money can bring to you. Just like boss, you will use money to do business to make more money, and use money in exchange for a higher status, more privileges and a better life.
What I like is money itself, I just love money."
Listening to Kakuzu's words, Tetsuya nodded in approval.
"Your analysis is very good."
"Haha, that's natural. After staying with the boss for a long time, I have learned a lot. It's like when I look at things now, I will no longer look at things from a Ninja perspective, but will analyze them in a different direction."
"Isn't it good? Looking at problems from different angles makes it more comprehensive, isn't it?"
Saying Tetsuya asked.
"So Kakuzu, what do you think of Takigakure now?"
"Takigakure?"
Kakuzu was silent for a while and finally spoke.
"In the past, Takigakure was arrogant and overestimated their capabilities, and wanted to compete with Other Shinobi Villages for Shinobi World. However, in fact, they were not even qualified to compete with other Shinobi World villages.
But now, they have also recognized the reality clearly, and have chosen to stay in a corner, huddled in a corner of Land of Waterfalls, isolated from the world.
But in my opinion, what they are doing now is actually a sign of cowardice and incompetence. Isolating themselves from the world and settling in a corner will only make them disconnected from the world."
Tetsuya nodded and said.
"Your analysis is very good, and it is basically the same as my opinion on Takigakure. So, have you ever thought about returning to Takigakure and taking over Takigakure to help me control Land of Waterfalls."
"Take over Takigakure and take control of Land of Waterfalls."
Kakuzu eyes flashed.
"Boss, are you planning to take action against Land of Waterfalls?"
"Sooner or later, after all, our ultimate goal is to control Shinobi World, isn't it? First integrate Small Nation, and then attack the big countries. These are all the squares we have formulated before, aren't they?"
The big country of Shinobi World has the existence of Five Great Shinobi Villages. These guys are not fuel-efficient lamps. It is a bit difficult to start from the big country directly.
But Small Nation is different. Some small Capitals don't have Shinobi Villages, and some even have Shinobi Villages. It doesn't matter to Tetsuyas, and it's very simple to deal with.
His plan is to integrate all Small Nations into one Super Federation, then use economic means to check and balance the big countries, and then unite some of these big countries to defeat some.
As for why you don't use absolute force to push Shinobi World.
It's simple, Tetsuya is worried about Deus ex Machina.
At that time, Six Paths Old Man can't stand it any longer. He and his Younger Brother will crawl out of the soil and unite with their Mom to do something for themselves, which will cause trouble for them.
It's not that you can't fight, but it will be very troublesome.
Tetsuya doesn't like trouble, and integrating Small Nation in this way to fight against the plans of big powers makes Tetsuya feel like playing a game.
"Since it is the boss's task, I will naturally not refuse it."
"Well, you can't say that. If you don't want to go back, there's no need to force it."
Kakuzu shook his head and said.
"No, on the contrary, after so many years, I really went back to see how those idiots were doing."
"Well, in that case, okay, you and I will go to Land of Waterfalls in two days. Let's go see Daimyo of the Land of Waterfalls first and ask him to make a statement for you to erase your identity of Rogue Ninja."
After hearing Tetsuya say that he wanted Daimyo of the Land of Waterfalls to erase his identity as Rogue Ninja, Kakuzu was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Thank you boss."
I think back then, he was also a Ninja who was willing to sacrifice his life for the village. If even one of those high-level officials was willing to stand up and support him, he would not have become Rogue Ninja.
