Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

More than ten days had passed.

"Damn it!"

"These ninjas are making me sick!"

Uchiha Nan angrily slammed the table in his office. The news of the Daimyo gifting him Feng and Ling had spread throughout Konoha.

There was no need to ponder; it was the work of the village's ninjas. It was just a temporary halt in the distribution of more than 10 billion ryo, not a complete cancellation!

Frustrating, utterly frustrating!

Uchiha Nan felt he had lost all integrity. Although he had anticipated this day, it was a bitter pill to swallow. He prided himself on his reputation, but now he had no defense.

The twins were indeed charming.

Uchiha Nan's recent combat meetings hadn't been going well. The Senju clan constantly found minor faults, but Uchiha Nan chose to ignore them.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tomita burst through the door, handing over urgent intelligence. After Uchiha Nan read it carefully, his anxious mood improved slightly.

The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Rock Village would declare war on Konoha in a month. The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, were remarkably synchronized, choosing nearly identical attack days.

If Uchiha Nan hadn't known that Tsuchikage Mu and Hozuki Gengetsu were sworn enemies, he might have thought they had conspired to attack Konoha together.

Tsuchikage Mu was wrapped like a mummy because Hozuki Gengetsu's steaming power had burned him. He would live with bandages and special medicines for the rest of his life.

Whenever they met, they fought, harboring deep-seated enmity.

Under these circumstances, the futures couldn't absorb goods so slowly. The market had to start moving upwards gradually. Uchiha Nan reviewed the data report. Over this period, the slow acquisition of pig iron had exceeded 4 billion ryo. The daimyo was even greedier, taking more than 4 billion ryo worth of goods.

The pig iron price, which had been falling, had stabilized for a while.

Next, the market needed to be gradually lifted, enticing investors little by little. Uchiha Nan smiled. After so much preparation, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

A few days later.

Gold Exchange

Kakuzu had spent more than 20 days completing another bounty mission. As usual, he exchanged the heads for the bounty. This mission wasn't difficult, and the bounty was just over 200,000 ryo, but Kakuzu didn't mind.

High-bounty, low-difficulty missions were rare, and he wasn't the only bounty hunter in the ninja world.

High-difficulty, high-bounty missions were very challenging. Even a small mistake could lead to disaster, losing a heart and fleeing in disgrace. Missions with reasonable pay and moderate difficulty were still favored by Kakuzu.

After leaving the gold exchange, he visited the weapon shop to sell a batch of second-hand weapons. Hearing the shop owner still discussing pig iron futures, Kakuzu suddenly remembered the white-haired youth he had met before.

That guy must have lost a lot of money.

Kakuzu took his money, counting it one by one, savoring the feel of the banknotes.

One should be practical. Speculation isn't the way.

Should I check it out?

Kakuzu didn't want to waste time on such matters, but remembering White Fang's professional analysis made him curious. He instinctively felt it was worth a look.

Let's take a look. It won't take much time anyway. Convincing himself, Kakuzu arrived at the trading hall's entrance.

Upon arrival, Kakuzu was surprised to find far more people than before.

"Investment follows rules, and the market is manipulated by a big hand called the market economy."

"The same applies to futures."

White Fang sat on a table in the first-floor lobby, speaking freely. These were words given to him by Uchiha Nan, who had heard them countless times while trading stocks in his previous life. A circle of people stood around White Fang, listening intently.

With financial support from Uchiha Nan and the Land of Fire's daimyo, pig iron prices had slowly risen in recent days. They had not only returned to the previous 630,000 ryo per ton but had also climbed to 810,000 ryo per ton, a full 30% increase!

The accounts of those bold enough to buy at the bottom had turned profitable!

A look of reverence appeared on everyone's faces. White Fang's words made sense. Though they didn't fully understand, they believed in White Fang's theories because practice had proven them correct—the price of pig iron had indeed risen.

"What's happening? Why are there so many people?"

Kakuzu hadn't grasped the situation yet. He only saw a crowd surrounding the white-haired youth, muttering mysterious and complex phrases. It sounded profound. With his limited knowledge, Kakuzu couldn't understand it at all.

However, the onlookers were captivated, nodding occasionally, as if they truly comprehended it.

"Look, he's an expert with thorough analysis."

"Do you understand?" "I think so."

"Then why don't you buy futures?"

"I'm waiting to see."

The audience here wasn't naive; they were familiar with pig iron prices. Pig iron prices fluctuated significantly. When a ninja war erupted, prices could increase severalfold. A mere 30% rise wasn't worth their risk.

Perhaps prices would plummet overnight, but this didn't stop them from agreeing with White Fang's theory, as he had genuinely profited.

"Kid!"

Kakuzu pushed through the crowd to White Fang, greeting him with a harsh tone.

"It's you. How did you find time to come here? Do you regret not listening to me?"

White Fang looked genuinely excited. This time, his expression was real. White Fang wasn't pretending.

Previously, White Fang had invested 10 million ryo. The gradual decline made him anxious.

Although the Hokage assured him of profits, the significant amount of money still worried him. A one-point drop equated to 100,000 ryo—losses that pained him.

But now, it was different. His account had turned profitable, rising by three levels and netting three million!

Equivalent to a high-level S-rank mission, which could take one to three months with life-threatening risks, White Fang had merely sipped tea in a comfortable room and seen the money roll in.

He made money so swiftly it was unbelievable!

"What are you regretting?"

"How much money did you make?"

Kakuzu realized this youth was boasting because he had profited, but Kakuzu wasn't impressed. He had been in the ninja world for many years and wasn't unfamiliar with money.

How much could futures earn?

He casually moved, eliminated a few minor targets, and earned over 200,000 ryo.

"Not much, just made 3 million ryo in over 20 days."

"How much?"

"What did you say?"

Kakuzu couldn't believe his ears, suspecting he had misheard the number.

"3 million ryo, is that a lot?"

"You haven't seen the world!"

White Fang looked arrogant, making quick money so easily, his perception of money had slightly distorted, even altering his humble character.

Kakuzu's eyes widened, his dark green pupils suddenly shrinking.

Oh no, did I miss the opportunity to make a fortune!

This kid had genuinely profited.

Stock speculation, futures, and currency markets—it's best to avoid them. Without insider information, temporary luck might bring gains, but eventually, you'll lose everything.
