Kakuzu couldn't help but smacked his lips when he looked at the Yukage bamboo hat. As a member of the Takigakure, he knew very well what the leaders of the small Ninja Village wanted most.
It is nothing more than catching up in the footsteps of the predecessors and becoming an existence on an equal footing with the Five Kages.
What's more, during the Second Ninja War, Hanzo drove the forces of many ninja villages out of his territory, and also had a showdown with the strongest Konoha.
Although from the overall situation, They, Amegakure, lost, but he, Hanzo, defeated the three disciples of the Hokage all by himself.
If he hadn't been chopped down by Boss Izuna in the end, I'm afraid his arrogance would have been raised to the sky at this time.
And what does Hanzo need most now? That is of course the recognition of others.
The boss sent him a Yukage hat at this time, which was equivalent to recognizing his performance in this war and acknowledge that he was comparable with the five Kages.
Such recognition is undoubtedly a ray of light for him in a life that has been shrouded in gloom.
"I understand boss. I will give this thing to Sanshouyu Hanzo at the right time, then introduce the boss to him."
"Thanks a lot."
"No problem."
Kakuzu left in a hurry, just as he came in a hurry. After all, he really hoped that he could become the Minister of Finance of the Land of Rain as soon as possible.
Watching Kakuzu leave, Tetsuya stretched himself.
"I don't know how my lovely disciples are doing in business."
The capital of the Land of Fire, Chiba Hotel.
Nagato, Konan and Yahiko sat together.
"How are your profits these days?"
Yahiko asked anxiously.
The time limit on the seventh day is coming soon, obviously he didn't make much money.
Nagato spread his hands.
"I barely made my money back. I did some calculations before I came back. I made no profit or lost any money. If I could sell the goods I squeezed, I should be able to make a profit of 15%."
"15 percent. You don't even have enough. I'm counting on you to support me."
Yahiko had a sad face.
"How much did you make?"
Seeing Yahiko's crying expression, Nagato asked.
"Profit? I lost a lot of principal."
Yahiko took out the money he had, only 80% of the principal was left, and he lost 20%.
"How much do you earn Konan."
The two looked at their last hope.
"I'm okay, I just completed the task assigned by the teacher."
As he spoke, Konan took out two wads of banknotes, one containing the principal and the other containing the earned money.
Yahiko suddenly saw hope.
"Konan, can you tell us how you did it?"
"The teacher said that good businessmen need to learn to use limited costs to earn unlimited profits.
I can't make enough profits, so I choose to reduce costs. "
As she spoke, Konan raised her hands, and a large number of paper cranes, paper butterflies, paper roses and other origami artworks flew out from her sleeves.
There are various shapes, and the colorful ones are really beautiful.
"When I first came to the capital, I went to the bookstore and bought a bunch of the cheapest colored paper. The price was wholesale, so the cost was extremely low.
I used Ninjutsu to make these works, so the production efficiency is extremely high. In this way, I produced a batch of beautiful origami artworks at a very low price and with extremely high efficiency and sold them to those older sisters who like origami. "
Nagato and Yahiko's eyes widened when they saw this scene.
"You can do it like this?"
"Okay, that's awesome. I also want to learn paper escape. Konan, can you teach me?"
Konan shook his head.
"Learning paper escape is not that easy. Even if I teach you now, it's too late. What's more, there are only two days left in the time specified by the teacher."
Yahiko lowered his head in frustration.
"Am I going to have to fail this assessment?"
"Don't be sad Yahiko, there is still time and we will find a solution."
"Yahiko, what are you selling, and you lost so much money?"
"I sell flowers.
On the way to the capital, I passed by the house of an old lady who grew flowers.
The old lady had limited legs and feet, so she sold flowers on the way into the city.
How much could she get? So I went to the old lady's house every day.
Buy the goods and bring them to the capital to sell them."
Yahiko sighed as he spoke.
"But the loss of flowers on the road is really big, and I think it's not easy for grandma, so the purchase price is a bit..."
Before Yahiko finished speaking, Master Nagato and Konan had already understood what Yahiko meant.
Nagato couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Yahiko, you are really not suitable to be a businessman."
After hearing his friend's comments, Yahiko lowered his head and said nothing.
"But as of now, it's not completely impossible."
"Really? Nagato, what else can you do?"
Yahiko raised his head and looked at Nagato in surprise.
Nagato nodded.
"Yes, but next we need to unite and cooperate, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"no problem!"
"Okay, then let's do this next."
The three little heads got together and began to plot.
Time flies, and soon the seven days specified by Tetsuya are over.
Tetsuya got up and returned to Chiba Hotel from Chiba Manor.
In the tea room, Nagato and the other three stood there respectfully.
"Hey, you three seem to be in a good mood. It seems that you have all completed my test?"
Yahiko said excitedly.
"Yes, teacher, the three of us have fulfilled your request. This is our principal, and this is the profit we earned."
As he spoke, Yahiko placed wads of bills on the coffee table.
Looking at the money on the table, Tetsuya looked at the three people again.
Obviously all the money of the three of them is here, and turning it in together means that they finally completed the task together.
"Very good. You successfully completed the assessment I arranged. Well done."
Hearing Tetsuya say this, Yahiko's excitement was palpable, but then the conversation changed.
"However, as far as I know, in the first half half, Yahiko, your flower business seemed to be losing money, and Nagato, who just barely recovered their capital, only Konan made a profit.
So how did you complete the assessment on the last day? can you explain it to me? "
Hearing this, the smile on Yahiko's face suddenly stiffened, and he turned to look at Nagato.
Nagato took a step forward.
"Teacher, let me tell you this. What we did was..."
To put it simply, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko integrated their respective funds and resources.
Nagato asked Yahiko and Konan to find someone to promote it, saying that sweets symbolize the sweet memories of the past, flowers symbolize the beautiful love of the present, and origami art symbolizes the infinite possibilities of the future.
The propaganda also set off quite a wave in the capital.
Then Nagato integrated the small businesses of the three of them together, and packaged and sold Yahiko's flowers, his own sweets, and Konan's origami. This bundle of past, present, and future products was immediately sought after by young lovers in the capital.
Their goods are in short supply, the benefits can be imagined.
"Okay, very good, you did a good job."
Tetsuya was very satisfied with their performance this time.
"Especially you, Nagato, you did a great job and successfully applied what I taught you into practice.
You must learn to seize the trend. If there is no trend,create trend, then advocate and capitalise it yourself. You performed very well this time. You all performed very well. I declare that all three of you have passed the assessment. "
"Yeah!"*3
