Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, you really hit the jackpot!
Chapter 38 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Danzo, you really hit the jackpot, and I've become the clown?
Uchiha Makoto glanced indifferently at the "immature" Daiming and didn't bother to argue with him.
Since the daimyo is unwilling to meet Hashirama Senju, he can do it for him. As an intermediary, he will have many more opportunities to manipulate things.
"Your Highness, leave this matter to me."
"Let's put this letter aside for now. If Hashirama Senju comes to the capital of the Land of Fire in person, I will be responsible for receiving him."
"That would be wonderful."
Having received Makoto Uchiha's assurance, the daimyo smiled.
With the letter issue resolved, the two then discussed the Tulip Project.
The Tulip Project is now nearing its climax, based on the intelligence we have so far.
Over the next month, cash flow from all countries in the ninja world will flow into the tulip market, and Uchiha Makoto plans to launch a brand-new trading method called contract trading at the appropriate time.
This move is called adding fuel to the fire!
The two chatted for a while and finalized some specific details of the plan, such as the need to place experts who spread false rumors and stir up trouble in various tulip trading markets in the Land of Fire.
About half an hour later.
After their conversation ended, Uchiha Makoto left the room. He needed to rest for the night; he had rushed over overnight after receiving the daimyo's letter.
A week passed quickly.
Tulip prices began to rise at an even greater rate than before.
Meanwhile, Danzo Shimura, who had plunged headlong into the tulip mania market, was immersed in the bliss of "rising prices every day."
His worldview was severely damaged.
Making money isn't that difficult.
All you need to do is buy a batch of tulips, and you can make a fortune the next day. This isn't something anyone can do!
at the same time.
His desires began to run rampant and even become distorted as his worldview changed. He originally only planned to invest one million taels, but now Danzo has begun to misappropriate large amounts of the family's funds for purchasing tulips, which has now reached a staggering fifty million taels. The returns from this are naturally incredibly generous, and his profits have doubled!
In just one week, he earned fifty million taels!
What terrifying profits!
The funds that Tobirama Senju painstakingly tried to embezzle probably didn't even amount to what Danzo earned in a single week.
However, Danzo has not yet chosen to stop.
According to rumors circulating in the market, this is just the beginning, and a steady stream of funds will continue to flow in. The price is still only halfway up the mountain!
"How can we stop now?"
"If you don't give it your all when you can make a lot of money, who knows when you'll get another chance like that!"
This was the prevailing sentiment at the tulip market, and Danzo Shimura wholeheartedly agreed with it; that was exactly what he thought!
Those who get off the train halfway through, those who are timid, will try to sell at the slightest sign of trouble?
Why are you so afraid of a slight price drop?
So what if prices plummet!
According to Shimura Danzo's analysis of past price trends, these are all temporary pullbacks, a technical adjustment to catch up with buyers!
Those who choose to sell now are all brainless suckers; they'll have to buy back the goods at a high price sooner or later!
"I'm going to see that idiot Hiruzen again."
"Poor Hiruzen Sarutobi, what can he possibly do today?"
"It's nothing more than haggling with those unscrupulous merchants, haggling over a few hundred thousand taels of gold!"
With these thoughts in mind, Shimura Danzo strode away from the tulip market, feeling quite pleased with himself. He had spent the entire day there, but since making a fortune from the tulip market, he had completely forgotten about tasks like purchasing supplies.
In his view, such a task can be done anytime; the most important thing now is to make a lot of money!
Once you've made money, why worry about not being able to buy things?
Therefore, Danzo Shimura's procurement mission is progressing slowly, far behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, Danzo's attitude is different now than before. In the first few days, Danzo still needed to think of excuses and pretend to deceive Hiruzen Sarutobi, but now he doesn't even want to pretend anymore.
"Hiruzen, another fruitless day. Those guys are all swindlers!"
Danzo Shimura looked delighted, showing absolutely no disappointment at being behind schedule.
Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him had a sullen face.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is not stupid.
At first, Danzo's disguise could fool him, but later Danzo's behavior became more and more outrageous, and now he doesn't even bother to pretend anymore!
In order to find out what Danzo had been doing these past few days, Hiruzen Sarutobi followed him and watched as Danzo entered the tulip market and didn't come out until the time they had agreed to meet.
"Danzo, you're still blatantly lying to me!"
"Aren't you making a fool of me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered indignantly to himself, then confronted Danzo directly.
"Danzo, stop pretending!"
"You haven't been involved in any procurement lately, have you? I already know the truth. How can you face Lord Tobirama?!"
"A business like tulips is something we ninjas shouldn't get involved in, Danzo. You'd better turn back before it's too late!"
Danzo Shimura's expression changed, and then he realized something.
"Hiruzen, you're following me!!"
"Yes, I did follow you, but it was all for your own good. Right now, our most important task is to complete the procurement of supplies."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke righteously, his face displaying an expression of solemn indignation.
As a comrade, he couldn't bear to watch Danzo go further and further down the wrong path.
"All right."
"I originally planned to continue interacting with you as an ordinary ninja, but instead I've been met with your estrangement."
"I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore."
When Shimura Danzo realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen had discovered his secret, he decided to stop hiding it from him and figured it was time to confront Hiruzen.
"Danzo, why are you still acting like this? I'm doing all this for your own good."
"We're comrades!"
"I can't stand to see you make more and more mistakes!"
Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's "honest advice," Danzo Shimura couldn't help but smirk and even let out a soft hum.
"Hiruzen, you think this guy isn't a bad person, he just has a very narrow perspective."
"Now that you've said these two heartfelt words to me, I've decided to take you with me to make a lot of money."
"What do you mean by 'making a lot of money'? Danzo, what are you implying?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in confusion, while Danzo Shimura slowly extended five fingers.
"Hiruzen, guess how much money I've made lately?"
"Five hundred thousand taels?"
Danzo shook his head.
"Five million taels?"
Danzo shook his head again.
"It can't be fifty million taels!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice trembled slightly.
Danzo, you really hit the jackpot!
Now I'm the clown?
