Chapter 222 Sasuke has gone mad, and Gato comes knocking again.
In front of the computer, Tetsuya crossed his legs and his ten fingers flew across the keyboard, making a clattering sound as they tapped the keys.
Just as he was getting into the writing, phone calls started coming in one after another.
"Ring ring~!"
"Who is it? I'm really into writing."
Tetsuya frowned, picked up his phone which was lying to the side, and saw the contact name: Chief Scientist of the Ninja World.
"Orochimaru? Why is that old bastard calling me instead of hiding in his basement doing research?"
Tetsuya looked puzzled, but still answered the phone.
"Hey, Orochimaru, what do you want?"
In the Hidden Sound Village, Orochimaru watched as Sasuke, pinned to the ground, shouted that he was a liar.
"Mr. Chiba, there's been a little accident."
"An accident? What kind of accident?"
"It's about Sasuke."
"Sasuke? That shouldn't be the case. Didn't I already have a plan?"
"Well, Mr. Chiba, your plan is quite good, but you've overlooked one thing?"
"What was overlooked?"
"Sasuke seems a bit different from the other Uchiha? He's a bit more stubborn than the other Uchiha."
"what?"
Tetsuya looked puzzled. Although Sasuke was indeed a bit different from ordinary Uchiha, his plan should be fine, right?
Orochimaru sighed and said...
"Sigh, I taught Sasuke the Impure World Reincarnation technique before, but after studying it for a while, he went crazy, yelling that I was a liar, and then he tried to kill me."
In the end, the kid was subdued by Kabuto and Kimimaro.
"This kid's situation isn't quite right, so I wanted to ask Mr. Chiba, what should we do next?"
"Sasuke."
Tetsuya stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Here's what we'll do: send him back to me. I'll teach him a lesson. By the way, have you taught him everything you need to?"
"Don't worry about that. My teaching skills are definitely no worse than those of the teachers at the Konoha Ninja Academy."
"Okay, that's good. By the way, did you get him a Heavenly Curse Seal?"
"The Heavenly Curse Seal? It's still under research, but the Earthly Curse Seal is already finished. Do you need me to make one for him?"
"The Earth Curse Seal? Well, let's forget about that."
Tetsuya's tone was slightly regretful.
"However, Orochimaru, the cursed seal is still quite valuable for research. You can study it in more depth."
"Oh, Mr. Chiba, you actually think highly of the Cursed Seal? This thing is just an inferior creation that I extracted from a naturally born Sage Body. It's quite different from a real Sage Body and Sage Mode."
"Isn't that amazing? Looking at the entire ninja world, how many people can successfully learn Sage Mode? Besides, don't always think about imitating Sage Mode. You can also study other directions."
There's a saying circulating online that when Naruto was the protagonist, the ninja world was the era of colored contact lenses, but by the time of Boruto, the ninja world had become the era of tattoos.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, was a man ahead of his time; he started getting tattoos back in the era of colored contact lenses.
"I understand, Mr. Chiba. I will send Sasuke over in a few days."
"Okay, that's settled then."
After saying that, Tetsuya hung up the phone.
"Uchiha Sasuke, tsk, what a talent. He managed to get a single or double tomoe on the night of the massacre, and now he's having problems again. Sigh, life is truly unpredictable."
Stretching, Zhe also turned his phone off silent, tossed it aside, and continued typing.
Even so, he didn't get a few minutes of peace.
"Knock knock knock~!"
The knocking on the door interrupted Tetsuya's hard-won state of mind.
"Seriously? What's going on today? Is this ever going to end?"
Tetsuya leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and sighed.
"Enter."
Shinta pushed open the door and walked in.
"Excuse me, sir."
The salamander who came in noticed the impatience on Tetsuya's face, and immediately his voice became much more cautious.
Tetsuya rubbed his temples and said.
"Is there a problem?"
"Salamander God replied."
"My lord, I have come to apologize. There has been a problem with the arrangements for Gato in the Land of Waves."
"Kado? Isn't he just a nouveau riche on an island? What problems could he possibly have?"
"My lord, didn't you previously tell me to keep Kado hanging on and arrange a seemingly promising but difficult condition for him?"
"Yes, that's right. What's wrong? Did he complete the task you assigned him?"
Shinda nodded.
"It's like this, Lord Daimyo. I told him before that the alliance adopts a parliamentary system. It's useless if only you, Lord Daimyo, agree. Although others will nod if you nod, not everyone in the alliance is on your side. So, if you want your help, you have to win over more than half of the member states of the alliance first."
Tetsuya's eye twitched twice.
"And then, Kado really did manage to take control of half the countries, right?"
"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so determined to join the alliance. He directly used money to pave the way and bought the support of half of the countries with money. I really didn't expect him to be able to come up with so much money and be willing to spend so much money."
"Alright, it's not your fault. After all, he's one of the richest people in the ninja world."
As he spoke, Tetsuya became serious, his eyes flickering as if he were pondering something.
"So, he's sent someone again now?"
"Yes, Lord Daimyo, or rather, Kado himself has come."
"Oh, I see. I understand."
Tetsuya nodded and then stood up.
"Since he has this intention, then let's go and see him."
"Yes, sir, I will arrange it right away."
In the guest lounge, Kado looked at the luxurious lounge with greed in his eyes.
"Cardo's assistant asked from the side."
"Lord Kado, we've spent so much money and traveled to so many places, is it really worth it to join this alliance?"
"Hehe, what do you think? Do you know how influential the business alliance is in the ninja world these days? Do you know how much preferential treatment and assistance the Chiba Chamber of Commerce will offer if you join this alliance?"
Kado stared wide-eyed at his assistant, his eyes seeming to burn with fire.
"Once we join this business alliance, we will be able to sell our goods to the entire ninja world through the alliance's channels. Once our goods can be sold to a wider area, we can earn even more real money."
Kado's assistant swallowed hard.
"Endless wealth!"
He knew perfectly well how profitable their wares were; just the Land of Waves alone had propelled Gato into the ranks of the ninja world's top tycoons. If he could sell their wares throughout the entire ninja world...
