Chapter 307: The Land of Waves Being Secretly Watched
After Akiyama Makoto finished speaking, he began to form seals with both hands, and then aimed his palms at everyone.
The people present were startled, and some couldn't help but want to escape.
But those who moved were instantly pinned to the ground by Zabuza.
His face was not good, and he asked sinisterly, "Why run away? Do you have a guilty conscience?"
Before the ninja pressed to the ground by him could answer, hundreds of people's eyelids fought together, falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, even Zabuza was startled, took a step back quickly, and looked at Makoto in surprise.
Makoto also frowned slightly. Casting the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan on so many people at the same time was still a bit too much load.
His Genjutsu was only 10, not exceeding 10, so he couldn't do things beyond the human limit yet.
Fortunately, Makoto didn't intend to hypnotize them for a long time, but just used some illusions to detect where they came from.
For example, conjuring the appearance of the Kage of each village and Itachi Uchiha in front of them to test the origins of these people.
In less than thirty seconds, most people were released from hypnosis by Makoto, leaving only a dozen people with pale faces, some even screaming for mercy.
Those released from hypnosis also retreated quickly. Although their faces were still a bit pale, they realized they had passed the test.
As for the remaining people, Makoto withdrew his hand, and a dozen people fell to the ground together, having lost consciousness.
Zabuza's face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't help saying, "Boss, are they all spies?"
"Sort of. Some were hired to inquire about news. There are seven real spies."
Makoto was fairly satisfied with this number, because it meant Zabuza had worked hard to screen them.
He and Haku didn't know interrogation and mind-reading jutsu, so it was normal to let some fish slip through the net.
Zabuza gripped the Kubikiribōchō in his hand tightly, wanting to chop all the spies, but Makoto waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Since they are here, don't let them leave. If they want to take them away, bring ten million ryō."
"Haku, you arrange the letter writing. I'll give them a week."
Haku also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, what if they don't send the ransom?"
Makoto turned around and said, "Then deal with them normally as spies are dealt with in the ninja world."
Haku nodded, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Zabuza's mouth.
He didn't care much about money himself; he wanted money to rebel against the Mizukage.
Now having the chance to kill, his big sword was already thirsty.
Makoto took Karin and Temari to his villa, along with a delicate-looking female ninja.
Karin looked at her curiously, while Temari's expression was a bit ugly.
Makoto smiled and said, "Temari, she is left to you to deal with, understand?"
"I understand."
Temari didn't say another word and left with this female spy, because she was sent by the Sand Village.
Karin also understood and asked curiously, "Family Head, how will you deal with her?"
"Also make the Sand Village pay ransom? But they should have no money left."
"If they have no money, I'll fight my way to the Sand Village and grab a few people who oppose Gaara to pay off the debt. I think they won't refuse."
Makoto said lightly, as if the Sand Village was already in his pocket.
Karin didn't find this tone strange at all, because Makoto had just directly blackmailed several ninja villages.
The last person who dared to do this—was there such a person?
But she wasn't worried that Makoto would fail, because Makoto's strength had built enough confidence in her heart.
"Then Family Head, what should I do staying here later?"
Karin changed the subject, looking eager to try.
She had been idle in Makoto's house for a long time, and had been taught powerful strength by Makoto, and was even treated by Makoto as a family member and future wife.
This also made Karin eager to do something for Makoto.
Other women in Makoto's family were basically Konoha ninja and had their own jobs to do.
But she and Temari were different. Karin knew that this was the biggest advantage for her and Temari.
Of course, compared to Temari, her advantage lay in medical ninjutsu and bloodline, while Temari was more inclined to combat. This was probably the division of labor between the two in the future.
"Don't worry, you will have a lot of work later. Just don't blame me for making you too busy then."
Makoto patted Karin's head, and Karin laughed happily.
Then, Makoto told Karin his plan.
In the Land of Waves, he had several things to do.
The first thing was to establish a high-end medical center and make money with medical ninjutsu and life force.
No rich person would refuse to live longer, and Makoto could easily do this by injecting life force.
Of course, Makoto couldn't give away the True Spirit Seal; that was a special benefit for Makoto's family members.
As for how much money to make for extending life—at least ten million ryō a month.
Of course, in addition to such high-end medical work, ordinary difficult and complicated diseases would also be accepted, but this meant Makoto needed some medical ninja here.
Just now during the test, he found some male and female ninja who had some talent. He could send a shadow clone to teach them. If it didn't work, forget it.
As for whether to mass-produce high-end subordinates through simulation, again, it depended on whether their favorability towards Makoto could be raised by increasing loyalty.
The second thing was to conduct various researches on the Byakugan, Sharingan, White Zetsu, and Makoto's own cell activation, which also required some high-end talents.
Thinking of this, Makoto wanted to kidnap Shizune, but Tsunade probably wouldn't allow it.
Maybe he could let the girls around him help out occasionally. As for village missions, he wouldn't let them take ordinary missions anymore.
The third thing was to expand the trade of the Land of Waves. This overlapped with the first thing, but was not limited to the medical industry.
For example, shipping, arms business. Anyway, there were many ways to make money, and Makoto could do them all with the Land of Waves as a base.
The last thing was to continue expanding the scale of recruiting orphans and ninja. Now Makoto could simulate all the abilities of the Sharingan below Mangekyō, plus the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu, which was enough to identify spies.
It was just that to expand the scale further, money alone probably wasn't enough; reputation was also needed—so should he make a name for himself?
Before mastering Sage Mode and solving the White Zetsu problem, Makoto might have hesitated.
But now, if Obito dared to trouble him, he wouldn't mind cleaning up the Akatsuki organization.
With strength comes confidence!
Of course, if possible, Makoto still didn't want to conflict with the Akatsuki organization.
When he raised Wood Style and all attributes, and mastered Yin-Yang Release, then he would dare to chase and kill Obito.
As for why Makoto thought about making money and establishing his own power while improving his strength, instead of relying on himself to conquer the world.
The answer was naturally that Makoto's simulation could only provide experience and talent. Specific implementation required large-scale experiments, all of which required money.
For example, if Makoto wanted to upgrade the Byakugan or use the pupil power of the Sharingan, he could only rely on money and technology.
Of course, Makoto could also target the moon and Toneri Ōtsutsuki.
But Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's main body was still sealed there.
Toneri at this time might not be scary, but Makoto worried that if he went too far, it would invite the intervention of the Sage of Six Paths.
Let's talk about it after simulation testing later.
After listening to Makoto's plan, even though Karin was ready to work hard, she couldn't help feeling dizzy.
Although she was already very strong, she was only the same age as Naruto and Sasuke. could she really bear such a huge responsibility?
Makoto also knew this was a bit difficult for her, so he said, "I'll ask everyone to help you when they are free later, and I'll find some suitable subordinates for you."
Hearing this, Karin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, promising to do her best.
After the two finished chatting, Temari also came back, with a little relaxation on her face.
"I finished asking. It wasn't Chiyo and Ebizō who sent her, but some die-hards—well, you know."
Obviously, Temari was referring to people related to Rasa.
Although Makoto asked Chiyo to kill this group of people, obviously Chiyo also needed time to act.
"In that case, tell Chiyo to exchange the head of the mastermind for this female ninja's safety."
After speaking, Makoto looked at Temari, waiting for her reaction. As a result, Temari looked relieved.
"This expression—were you guessing how I would handle it before?"
Temari touched her cheek awkwardly and said, "I was worried you would go to the Sand Village to trouble those people."
Makoto laughed loudly, waved to Temari, put his arm around her waist when she approached, and said, "If I did this kind of thing personally, wouldn't it be bullying the weak? Chiyo is still waiting for my intelligence, she will agree."
Temari leaned her head on Makoto's shoulder and hummed softly in agreement.
Karin naturally didn't want to be outdone and leaned over too.
It was rare to come to the Land of Waves today, so Makoto simply took the two to change into swimsuits and played on the beach all night, and then slept with the two girls in his arms.
He naturally wouldn't do anything strange, but the two girls also seemed to cherish this opportunity to be alone with Makoto, showing enthusiasm no less than Anko.
When Makoto woke up the next day, the two girls were gone.
Then Makoto saw them wearing close-fitting underwear and aprons, hurriedly helping Makoto make breakfast.
Looking at the slightly burnt food on the plate, and looking at the two girls with ash on their noses, Makoto wasn't angry, but couldn't help laughing.
This made the dejected Karin and Temari happy too. Anyway, as long as Makoto was happy, they were satisfied.
For the next day, the three were still immersed in the holiday in the Land of Waves, but on the third day, the situation changed.
"Boss, we received a reply. Someone ordered us to release the spies."
Zabuza's expression was a bit ferocious, as if he couldn't help but want to kill.
"Oh, who are they?"
"Boss, you should ask who isn't among them."
"Alright then, who isn't?"
"Konoha and the Sand Village."
Makoto also laughed and said, "Reply to them. Send money within a day, or take the heads back."
Makoto didn't ask who exactly was talking tough, but he was prepared for a battle to break out.
Although no ninja village attacked the Land of Waves in the simulation, that was also because Makoto didn't clear the spies in the Land of Waves. Perhaps they regarded this as a tacit understanding.
Now that the tacit understanding was broken, naturally someone had to challenge Makoto, this mysterious strongman.
This wasn't stupidity, but they wanted to test the authenticity of the rumors so they could adjust their means against Makoto.
Otherwise, scared by a false reputation, how could the various ninja villages continue to mix?
Of course, testing a strongman came with a price.
However, the ninja villages felt that if Makoto had even a little rationality, he wouldn't attack people from various ninja villages directly, otherwise wouldn't he declare war on several villages at the same time?
Unfortunately, this time, their judgment was hugely mistaken.
Zabuza naturally followed orders. He had seen Makoto's strength and knew that even if the villages sent all their elites, they couldn't do anything to Makoto, so he naturally didn't worry about Makoto blowing things up.
But the members of the various villages' Anbu hiding in the dark didn't think so.
"Is that guy crazy? Does he really want to kill our village's ninja?"
A short-haired, lively girl, hiding in an underground secret room somewhere, was looking at the intelligence in her hand in disbelief.
"Does he know that's our Rock Village ninja?"
"Maybe pretending not to know—" a tall figure answered in a muffled voice.
For enemies, he was full of oppression.
For friends, he was full of security.
"What should we do? Should we attack directly to snatch the person back?"
"Wait a bit longer. There are not only us in the dark, but also people from other villages."
"Then can we cooperate?"
"I think the Cloud Village people are much more dangerous than this Akiyama Makoto."
"That's true."
The Rock Village and the Cloud Village were almost sworn enemies, hating each other more than Konoha. Naturally, they couldn't cooperate in such a small skirmish.
Similar things happened in two other hidden locations.
The Cloud Village ninja hid in the forest, and the Mist Village ninja opened up a barrier space underwater. Everyone was waiting for someone else to act first.
As a result, until midnight, no one acted.
Just when the parties couldn't wait any longer, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in Makoto's villa.
The entire Land of Waves seemed to be awakened by the explosion. Everyone looked at the soaring flames in the night, looking incredulous.
"Damn it, who played so big and killed directly?"
A dark-skinned, blond Cloud Village ninja who looked a bit lazy immediately became alert and said, "Captain, let's act. If we don't act, it might be too late."
"Calm down, wait a bit longer—"
The leading female ninja with blond hair and blue eyes, fair skin, and a figure and combat power no weaker than Tsunade, was looking at the direction of the explosion suspiciously.
She felt that things didn't seem so simple.
But then, a sentence from the darkness made her face change slightly.
"Remember, this is the consequence of offending the Cloud Village."
