Chapter 134 Proctor Oniichiro
Upon learning of Danzo's departure, Yekura immediately took action and ambushed Danzo on his way.
The two sides fought a fierce battle, suffering losses on both sides, and finally withdrew at night.
In the yellow earth of the Land of Rain, he received Onoki's latest orders and was very surprised.
"What? The Cloud Ninja actually launched a surprise attack on the Land of Earth? Did they reach an agreement with the Mist Ninja?"
With his homeland attacked, Huang Tu dared not delay. After leaving a group of Iwa ninja to monitor Amegakure, he immediately led the main force back to the Land of Earth.
For a time, the Land of Rain calmed down and began post-war reconstruction.
Outside Rain Village, numerous tombstones have appeared, burying Rain Ninja who died in battle.
This included members of the Akatsuki organization.
To protect Akatsuki's top secrets, Kyusuke, Ryotaro Okiayu, and Hideyuki Tanaka chose the most gruesome way to die, leaving no bodies behind.
However, Yahiko and the others still erected tombstones for them.
Xiao Nan held white flowers in her hand and placed them in front of the tombstone, feeling very sad.
"We've lost half of our comrades in this war so far, alas."
With a resolute expression, Yahiko said, "We must carry on their will and continue to fight to build a peaceful world."
Nagato had already woken up, and although she was very weak, she came to pay her respects to her companion with the help of Daibutsu.
"Yahiko, we'll definitely succeed, right?"
"Of course, I have no doubt about it!"
Looking at Yahiko's upright figure, Ooka Shin felt that Yahiko had matured after the war, and his words were more inspiring.
A raging fire seemed to be burning in his heart; you could feel the warmth of his heart just by standing next to him.
At this moment in the Land of Lightning, Kiichiro also sensed the heart of a person.
A greedy heart.
"Sir, this is a small token of my appreciation. I'm entrusting the matter of the medicine to you."
Kiichiro took out a box of gold bars and placed it in front of Takeki Nishio.
Takeki Nishio stared at the glittering gold with increasingly greedy eyes, and licked his lips.
"Hehe, it seems the new business is very profitable. You've actually given me such a generous gift. I don't know if I can afford it."
Kiichiro laughed and said, "My lord, you are the daimyo's confidant. There is nothing in the Land of Lightning that you cannot handle. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I am willing to give you 40% of the profits from the pharmaceutical business."
Some time ago, Kiichiro created an antibiotic suitable for large-scale production and immediately sought protection.
There's no other way. Once it's mass-produced, other forces will definitely try to get their hands on the formula once they know about this miraculous drug.
With the ninja's amazing abilities, it would be easy to obtain production methods in the factory.
Even if Kiichiro uses various methods to defend himself, he can only buy some time.
In other countries, Oniichiro was powerless; people could simply steal what they produced and continue producing it. But in the Land of Lightning, Oniichiro still wanted to monopolize the business.
If you want to monopolize the market, you need to establish a huge community of shared interests; otherwise, others will eliminate Kiichiro and make money by producing medicine themselves.
Right now, Kiichiro has the power to bribe the daimyo. Once he leaves, he'll have to curry favor with the Cloud Ninja.
As long as he can deal with the daimyo and the Cloud Ninja, Kiichiro can make money continuously.
Takeki Nishio sneered, "Forty percent? What nonsense are you spouting! It's already merciful of the daimyo not to ask you to hand over the formula, and you're being so insensible."
Despite the other party's greed, Kiichiro remained unfazed.
Who can blame them for having more power? Big fish eat little fish, it's not surprising.
Kiichiro smiled and said, "Sir, the 40% is the official figure. Secretly, I will give you 20% of the profits, and I guarantee no one will know."
Once Nishio Takeki has obtained the profits, he has to share them with the daimyo and various factions. He'll be lucky to keep half of them for himself.
If he could also obtain an additional 20% of the profits, Takeki Nishio's earnings would double.
"Twenty percent?"
Takeki Nishio asked casually, clearly still dissatisfied.
Kiichiro said with a wry smile, "My lord, operating production requires a lot of capital, and I also have to share the profits with the Rain Ninja. It's really difficult."
Takeki Nishio said without room for doubt, "Mitsunari!"
"grown ups……"
"Otherwise, there's no point in talking!"
"Hey! All right!"
With just a few words, seven-tenths of his profits were gone, and Kiichiro almost became a wage earner.
Once the interests were agreed upon, the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated, and Takeki Nishio became much more amiable. The two chatted happily every day before Kiichiro finally left.
Back at the manor, Kiichiro summoned Mikuri Tomokazu and the other four, and solemnly gave them orders.
"You lot, you have an important task now!"
The four men sat up straight and said, "Yes!"
"Immediately follow Mikuri Tomokazu and learn how to falsify accounts. Whoever learns well will be richly rewarded."
"what?"
The four looked at Kiichiro in surprise, while Mikuri Tomokazu was even more awkward.
"Young master, I am utterly loyal and would never falsify accounts."
Kiichiro rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think I don't know. You've been helping my parents falsify accounts and evade taxes all these years without being caught. You're quite the expert."
Tomokazu Mikuri rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
"It's okay, it's okay."
In the days that followed, Kiichiro had too many things to do and had to use Shadow Clone Jutsu.
The experiment is of utmost importance and cannot afford to fail.
Therefore, the main body stays in the laboratory and rarely leaves.
The other shadow clones either cultivate, train Ghost Vine and others, or direct workers to build factories.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, it was the year 47 of Konoha, and Kiichiro celebrated his tenth birthday.
"You have been practicing for several months now, it's time to test your results."
On this day, Oniichiro summoned Onifuji and his three companions.
"The exam atmosphere is one of competition and confrontation. The competition is divided into business management, medical research, and ninja knowledge. Cheating is allowed in today's exam, as long as I don't find out."
Inside the room, the four members of the Oni family sat in their seats, and Oni Ichiro began distributing the test papers.
"The exam has begun and will last for one hour."
Soon, the sound of writing filled the room. Kiichiro paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, enjoying the feeling of being a proctor.
After walking for a while, Kiichiro got bored and sat in the seat in front, yawning.
"Hehe, here's your chance, hurry up and cheat, I'm waiting to catch you."
Kiichiro secretly watched the four of them, and when the exam ended and no one cheated, he was very unhappy.
On the second day of the duel, Oniichiro deliberately increased the difficulty.
"These are plum blossom stakes. You can only fight on them. Whoever falls off loses! The first match is between Onifuji and Itakura Ko. Hurry up and get on."
It's called a plum blossom stake, but it's actually just dozens of trees haphazardly placed on the ground.
The ground was still grassy and uneven, so the wooden stakes were not stable at all.
When the wind blew, the wooden stakes swayed and shook.
Onifuji and Itakura Ko, seeing the wooden stake that could fall at any moment, carefully jumped onto it.
As soon as they stepped onto the wooden stakes, the wooden stakes beneath their feet began to shake violently, and they had to twist and turn their bodies to barely maintain their balance.
Kiichiro sat to the side, enthusiastically cheering them on.
"Oh, oh, oh, Oni-ten almost fell down. It's such a pity we didn't get to see the opening kill."
"As close friends, they are now forced to fight each other. This love-hate relationship is really interesting! Let's all give them a round of applause!"
