Nagato said nothing, maintaining the aloofness that Tendo Payne should have.
After getting his consent, Xiaonan planned to apply for a loan from Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce.
But before that, like a mission leader, she introduced Natsume to the purpose of the Akatsuki organization.
It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not.
Anyway, a lot of people in the Akatsuki organization don't really believe it.
"That's probably the case."
Xiao Nan paused and said, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
"No."
Natsume knew more than she did, so there was no need to ask anymore.
The Akatsuki Organization is a matryoshka doll problem.
One set inside the other.
The final winner is Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Oh no.
Now it is no longer her, but Black Zetsu and Otsutsuki Isshiki.
I wonder where Hei Zetsu is at this time?
Natsume thought silently in his heart.
A gust of wind sounded.
He and Xiaonan showed a little vigilance on their faces at the same time, but it quickly disappeared.
"Hey, long time no see."
Natsume smiled softly and said in a teasing tone, "Looking at you, you seem to still remember me."
Along with the distortion of space, Uchiha Obito appeared wearing a mask.
His single exposed eye stared intently at Natsume, with undisguised murderous intent.
"Uchiha Madara."
Konan looked indifferent and said, "Takashi is now a member of the Akatsuki organization. If you have any grudges, you can put them aside for the time being."
"Why do you want him to join the Akatsuki organization?"
Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth and said, "He has ruined our major events time and time again. He is the enemy of the Akatsuki organization!"
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
Natsume argued, "What I ruined was your business, not the Akatsuki organization's business."
The mean tone made Obito Uchiha so angry that he vomited blood.
But he didn't dare to take action.
One is that he has lingering fears about his previous battle with Natsume.
Before he was absolutely sure, or before he had completely obtained his information, he had no intention of doing so for the time being.
The second is that he knows Xiaonan is wary of him.
If we really want to fight, it won't be one against one, but one against two.
When the time comes, considering the relationship between Nagato and Konan, I'm afraid they will have to receive the reincarnation eye.
"Takashi is right."
Konan didn't care about Uchiha Obito's feelings at all, and said in a calm tone, "He has no grudge against the Akatsuki organization, and this is Pain's wish. If you object, go talk to him."
What a nonsense!
Although Obito Uchiha regarded Nagato as a tool, he did not dare to manipulate him at will.
After all, it’s not time to close the net yet.
Before that, he would not arouse Nagato's resentment too much.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
There was no expression on Xiaonan's face, but she was quite happy inside.
Uchiha Obito reacted so strongly, which proved the irresolvable conflict between him and Natsume.
The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Maybe Natsume can help her one day.
Although Xiaonan didn't trust either of them, Uchiha Obito clearly had bad intentions and was even more dangerous.
With Uchiha Madara's name, I don't know what he is planning.
"Accepting anyone will only harm the Akatsuki organization, especially ninjas with unknown origins like this!"
Uchiha Obito said with an indignant expression.
"Are you talking about yourself?"
Xiao Nan asked back with an indifferent expression.
"..."
Uchiha Obito paused and was speechless for a moment.
"You will regret this!"
The fluctuations in space begin again.
In the swirling distortion, Uchiha Obito disappeared.
All that was left was a cruel words that seemed familiar.
Natsume felt a little pity.
There was no fight.
But then I thought about it, there will be many opportunities in the future, so I’m not in a hurry.
"His name is Madara Uchiha."
Konan looked away, looked at Natsume, and said, "He is a member of the Akatsuki organization."
"Uchiha Madara?"
Natsume's eyes showed confusion and asked, "Are you sure it's Madara Uchiha?"
"I am not sure."
Konan shook his head and asked, "You have fought against him. Do you think he is Uchiha Madara?"
"no."
Natsume said without hesitation, "His strength is too weak, far inferior to Uchiha Madara."
"Then did you realize his identity?"
Xiaonan's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"It should be a former member of the Uchiha clan. I don't know exactly who it is."
Natsume guessed.
Xiaonan was a little disappointed when he heard this.
This sentence doesn't make much sense.
The Uchiha clan has existed for too long, and there are countless clan members. It is not easy to know who they are.
“What are the procedures required for a Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce loan?”
Xiaonan put away her thoughts, returned to the topic, and asked.
"The procedure is quite simple, just sign a contract or something."
Natsume smiled and said, "The difficult thing is why it lent so much money to the Akatsuki organization."
Xiaonan nodded thoughtfully.
Ultimately, it all depends on qualifications.
I just don’t know what Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce needs?
Xiaonan thought of this and asked: "When will you be free to take me to meet the general manager of your chamber of commerce?"
"I need time to report."
Natsume had to think carefully about what price Xiaonan should pay. "How about I let you know after a while?"
"I'll come find you."
Xiaonan pondered for two seconds and asked, "Are you always in Kirigakure Village on weekdays?"
"In this way, you go to Kirigakure Village in a week, and I will meet you naturally then."
Natsume estimated the time, a week should be about the same.
Xiaonan nodded and asked, "Do you want to meet your teammates?"
"No, I'll see you when I do the mission."
Natsume smiled nonchalantly and said, "If it were a beautiful teammate like you, Konan, maybe I would be more active."
Xiaonan glanced at him without any reaction, then her body turned into pieces and gradually moved away.
Natsume turned around and walked out of the cave.
"Lord Kishi."
The young ninja was still standing at the door, "Do you need Hydrangea to take you back?"
Pickup and delivery are included.
Natsume smiled and said: "No, the psychic beast is still too slow. I will go back by myself."
He jumped up and disappeared in front of him.
Far away from the canyon, Natsume immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The Daming Mansion of the Country of Waves.
It was exactly noon at this time.
He opened the door.
Hearing the sound, Xiang Phosphorus, who was sleeping on the table, raised his head and saw him.
The little face that was still dazed immediately woke up.
"Natsume-nii!"
Xiang Phosphorus ran over.
At ten years old, her height has almost reached Natsume's waist.
Compared with the cuteness before, her appearance is a bit more youthful and sweet.
"Dead pervert."
Tayuya, who was also sleeping together, was woken up, saw Natsume, curled her lips and said.
After several years of getting along with each other, she and Xiang Ling have become good sisters.
We happened to take a nap together at noon today.
Natsume picked up Xianglan and asked, "Why are you sleeping here?"
"Attend class."
Koro put her hands around his shoulders and said, "Mom is giving lessons to me and Tayuya."
"Where's your mom?"
Natsume glanced at the empty office chair and asked.
"She is out for something and should be back in a while."
Xiang Phosphorus said with a smile.
"Then I'll wait for a while."
Natsume walked to the desk in the corner.
"Tayuya, call me brother."
Kaoru hugged Natsume's neck and said as if to show off.
"Hmph! Don't shout!"
Tayu also disdained and turned his head, not looking at the two people.
For some reason, she felt a little sour.
"You're just dishonest."
Kaoru wanted to educate Tayuya, but he couldn't bear it, and finally ignored him, like a koala hanging on Natsume's body.
The sounds of the two people talking and laughing kept coming.
Tayuya bit her lower lip tightly, her face gloomy, and the pen in her hand was almost crushed.
How abominable!
But she didn't know whether she was scolding Xiang Lian or Natsume.
After a while, Uzumaki Ena came back and saw a strange scene.
Natsume and Kaoru were enjoying each other as if they were brothers and sisters, while Tayuya was filled with resentment.
Uzumaki Eina couldn't help but smile.
She actually knows Tayuya quite well.
After all, at her age, she doesn't hide her emotions.
"Mother!"
Xiang Phosphorus waved his hand and shouted.
"You're pestering your brother again."
Uzumaki Ena walked forward and said.
"Where is it?"
Xiang Ling's little face showed dissatisfaction and said, "Obviously mom and brother spend more time together."
"..."
Uzumaki Ena's face suddenly turned red, and she knocked on the head of Karin, "We have something serious to talk about."
Duoyou wanted to speak but stopped.
Are you sure you are talking about business?
Uzumaki Ena was nicer to her, so she didn't have any harsh words.
But when she thought of those scenes, her skin suddenly felt a little hot.
abnormal!
Tayuya gave Natsume a hateful look.
Natsume noticed her gaze, turned around, and looked at her.
"..."
Tayuya immediately lowered his head in panic.
"You can continue to take a nap."
Natsume put down the phosphorus, touched her head, and said, "Your mother and I have something to discuss."
"Um."
Xiang Phosphorus nodded with some reluctance.
Natsume walked outside.
Uzumaki Ena also left.
Because the office was occupied, the two people went to the room.
"In a few years, you will become a real man."
Uzumaki Eina hugged Natsume, kissed him cheek to cheek, and said.
"Am I not now?"
Natsume was so angry that she bit the grape she peeled.
Grape juice immediately filled the mouth.
sweet.
"I'm talking about age. After all, I haven't fully grown up yet."
Uzumaki Ena's face turned a little rosy and she said.
"..."
Natsume gritted his teeth and said nothing.
hateful!
What does it mean to not grow up?
He felt that he would let Uzumaki Ena take a good look at him later.
The so-called ambition does not lie in age!
"You are just a child with this reaction."
Uzumaki Ena lowered her head, kissed him, and said with a smile, "Only a child would be so angry."
"..."
Natsume said nothing and just ate grapes.
Uzumaki Ena gently stroked his head and looked at him tenderly.
After a while, her ears turned red.
"What's the matter with coming here today?"
Uzumaki Eina tried to adjust her mood by changing the topic.
"It's something."
Natsume spit out the grape seeds, swallowed the grape juice, and asked, "Will the Chamber of Commerce borrowing one billion have any impact?"
He hasn't asked about the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce for a long time.
I don’t know if there will be any problem in taking out one billion in liquid cash.
"No effect."
The corners of Uzumaki Ena's mouth curved slightly, she held his hand and asked, "Who do you want to lend it to?"
"Akatsuki organization, a ninja organization."
Natsume leaned in her arms and asked with a smile, "What price do you think she should pay?"
"To borrow one billion, theoretically a country must be a guarantee."
Ena Uzumaki thought for a while and said, "And we have to sign various treaties, such as mining rights."
This is actually how the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce lent money to Wuyin Village.
As for the Kingdom of Water, it is a bit similar, but all the money goes into the pockets of the nobles.
They don't care whether it's mined or not.
After all, they don't have much idea.
In the understanding of the ninja world, only gold mines are valuable, and the rest are not.
"They do have a country."
After Natsume thought for a moment, he thought of Nagato's character and said, "But we probably won't be allowed to interfere."
"What do you mean, do you have to lend it to them?"
Uzumaki Eina lowered her head, looked at half of his face, moved her hips, and got closer.
"good."
Natsume responded with a smile.
"Since they are a ninja organization, let them work for us."
Uzumaki Ena didn't ask why she had to borrow money.
"This is a good idea."
Natsume narrowed her eyes slightly, "I'll hire a female ninja to protect you."
"protect me?"
Uzumaki Ena was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "You have a crush on that female ninja?"
"ah?"
Natsume asked subconsciously, "Why do you think so?"
"Because I know you."
Uzumaki Eina had a smile on her face and held his hand.
Natsume tried to struggle, but was held to death.
Two hours passed.
Natsume let Uzumaki Ena go.
In one sentence, you can describe him as a bold monster who dares to do whatever he wants to do.
She paid the price for her reckless behavior.
Natsume opened the door feeling refreshed.
"Dead pervert!"
Tayuya's voice sounded.
"Your assassination skills are getting worse and worse."
Natsume raised her eyebrows and slightly staggered her fist.
"I want you to take care of it!"
Tayuya looked at him angrily.
"Is it because I ignored you before and now you are here to attract my attention?"
Natsume tilted her head and asked.
"How can it be?!"
Tayuya's face became hot and she said angrily.
"It seems I misunderstood."
Natsume smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, just stay out of the way."
"etc!"
Tayuya subconsciously asked, "Where's the punishment?"
After saying that, his whole body turned as red as an apple.
"I... am a person who keeps my promises."
Tayuya forced himself to stay calm to prevent himself from fainting.
Natsume looked at her.
Tayuya's face became more and more rosy, and her heart was beating fast.
Both ashamed and looking forward to it.
"I recently adopted a black cat."
Natsume took out a key and stuffed it into her hand, "Go and help me feed her, and remember not to tell anyone about this."
Tayuya watched him leave and reacted after a moment.
She stamped her feet dissatisfiedly, and the bell around her neck jingled.
With this little punishment, who are you looking down on?
He even let her feed the cat.
Damn it!
Am I not even better than a cat?
Tayuya gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Although Natsume didn't tell her where he was, she had a very clear idea of where he lived.
It must be the courtyard that Uzumaki Ena prepared for him.
Tayuya took out the key and opened the door.
The black cat in the room heard the sound, raised its head, and subconsciously let out a 'meow'.
The two people looked at each other with big eyes.
