Based on the danger and difficulty of the request, mission levels are roughly divided into five ranks: SABCD. The mission rank can be adjusted upwards depending on what happens during the mission.
D-Rank Missions are those with no direct combat or low risk to life, such as catching escaped pets or helping villagers with farming, with a reward of five thousand to fifty thousand ryo.
C-Rank Missions are those where the mission performer may be injured, such as personal protection, capturing wild beasts, or subduing bandits, with a reward of thirty thousand to one hundred thousand ryo.
B-Rank Missions are those where combat between ninjas is expected, such as personal protection, espionage activities, or assassinating ninjas, with a reward of eighty thousand to two hundred thousand ryo.
A-Rank Missions are those that affect the movements of a country or ninja village, such as protecting important figures or subduing ninja forces, with a reward of one hundred fifty thousand to one million ryo.
S-Rank Missions are confidential matters that affect the state of a country, such as assassinating important figures or stealing confidential files, with a reward of over one million ryo.
As an Elite Jonin, Hatake Kakashi's missions always start at B-Rank. Due to the various unexpected events that often occur during missions, the mission level is frequently raised. Completing a mission takes at least a few days, and sometimes several months.
Therefore, many ninjas weren't in the village recently. When they returned in the last few days and heard the rumors about the Dimensional Merchant, they were equally excited.
Hatake Kakashi was one of the excited people. Upon returning to the village, he was hit with a triple surprise: rumors of the Dimensional Merchant, the revival of Father, Teacher, and Teacher's Wife, and the hope of reviving Obito and Rin.
So, Kakashi, as usual, went to Obito and Rin's tombstones to speak his mind.
It just so happened that Obito was hiding nearby and heard Kakashi's thoughts clearly, catching the key point: reviving Rin.
Damn Kakashi, trying to win Rin's affection? I won't allow it!!!
Uchiha Obito immediately cast aside all his worries, his mind filled with the thought of reviving Rin before Kakashi. Without a word, he set off to search the world for the Dimensional Merchant.
As someone who had seen the Dimensional Merchant once, Uchiha Obito had an advantage over others, but finding one person in the vast ninja world was no easier than finding a needle in a haystack, and Uchiha Obito didn't have time to search slowly.
So, he could only take a step back and seek Nagato's help.
The memory ended. Uchiha Obito raised his eyes to look at Nagato beside him. Nagato had just finished reading the written draft and was now asking for the opinions of the Akatsuki Organization members.
"Regarding the future development direction of the Akatsuki Organization, please speak freely."
Hearing this, Kakuzu's emerald eyes immediately lit up. When it came to making money, he wasn't sleepy at all!
He looked at Nagato and said in a low voice, "First, we need to ensure the organization has sufficient startup funds..."
Before Kakuzu could finish, Nagato interrupted, "Which funds are you referring to? How much is considered sufficient for startup?"
"Both the ninja world's currency and the shop's currency are needed, but we have enough of the ninja world's currency." As the one in charge of money and making money, Kakuzu naturally had the right to speak. "As for how much shop currency we need... I haven't looked into the value of the goods in the shop, so I can't be sure."
After replying to Nagato's question, Kakuzu continued, "First, we need several goods that can be repeatedly exchanged for shop money. Second, the goods used to exchange for shop money must be relatively common, easy to obtain, and not too low in value. Finally, we need several stable ways to earn ninja world currency, using the funds to purchase goods."
Yahiko nodded repeatedly, thinking Kakuzu made a lot of sense.
"The goods used to exchange for money, currently, the only thing we can be certain of is the puppets Sasori makes," Yahiko said.
"Those are art, not goods," Sasori added in a muffled voice.
In the past, if anyone dared to call his puppets goods, Sasori would have turned that person into a puppet. But now, Sasori wanted to save money to revive his parents...
"My puppets are valuable; that's the shop's recognition of my art."
Speaking of art, Deidara immediately disagreed.
"Since Sasori's art can be exchanged for money in the shop, then mine certainly can too, and I'll definitely get more money than Sasori! Hmm!"
Faced with Deidara's provocative statement, Sasori no longer remained silent, turning sharply to face Deidara, his voice gradually rising, "You really dare to say that, Deidara!"
Regarding artistic concepts, Deidara didn't hesitate at all, saying, "I'm telling the truth, art is an explosion, hmm!"
"Then, shall we compete?" Sasori chuckled hoarsely, "Let's see whose art is more valuable. I'll make you lose with complete conviction today."
"I will definitely be the winner." Deidara was equally confident.
The two, full of confidence, looked at each other, and intense sparks of electricity collided where their gazes met.
Sasori was the first to look away, turning to Nagato and placing a puppet in front of him, saying,
"Nagato, quote a price!"
Nagato: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, Nagato exchanged the puppet and gave the price, "Twelve thousand three hundred and twenty-one."
Deidara placed a deformed Explosive Clay figure in front of Nagato, mimicking Sasori's words, "Nagato, quote a price."
"Ten thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven."
"Heh heh." Sasori chuckled hoarsely, speaking triumphantly, "I win."
A vein popped on Deidara's forehead as he created another deformed Explosive Clay figure.
"Nagato, give your bid."
"Twelve thousand four hundred and one."
"I win, yeah!" Deidara raised an eyebrow in triumph.
Sasori: "Nagato, give your bid."
Nagato: "Twenty thousand and eighty."
Deidara: "Give your bid."
Nagato: "Twenty-one thousand and eight."
"Thirty-three thousand and three hundred."
"Forty-one thousand three hundred and one."
The others watched the three of them in silence.
"Goods to be exchanged for money, two items."
"It's art!!!"
As Kakuzu finished speaking, two angry rebuttals immediately followed.
After the argument, the two turned back and continued their race.
Kakuzu ignored them and took over the meeting, "Let's continue the discussion. What are your opinions?"
When it came to making money, Kakuzu was serious.
Black Zetsu: "Regarding earning currency in the ninja world, I have two ideas. The first is to cooperate with the Sand Ninja and sell water to them. The second is to build factories and manufacture goods for sale."
"Feasible." Kakuzu nodded slightly and looked at the others, "What are your opinions?"
Obito: "......"
Kisame Hoshigaki: "Fishing?"
Hidan: "Awoo!!"
Konan: "Selling explosive tags."
Yahiko: "Ahaha..."
I'm such an idiot for expecting you to answer.
Kakuzu's eyes became expressionless.
"Almighty Push!" Nagato sent Sasori and Deidara flying, and rubbed his head, which was a little sore from the noise. "The meeting is adjourned. Kakuzu and Black Zetsu, according to the meeting content, draw up a plan and give it to me. The rest of you are free to do as you please, and come here tomorrow to receive your missions."
