One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Kakuzu stared blankly at Kusashi, then pulled out a spear nearly a meter long from his body and plunged it into his only heart.

Then the two seemed to hear a faint female voice beside them.

"The oath has taken effect!"

Kusashi sat down and stretched, speaking to Kakuzu, who was still lying dead on the ground.

"The contract is complete, what are you still lying there for? Come on, my Minister of Finance!"

Kakuzu straightened up and then gently moved his hands and feet. He clearly remembered that the other party had plunged the spear into his heart, and he couldn't help but ask himself the same question in his heart.

"Was it all an illusion just now?"

Finding a secluded corner to rest and recover chakra, Kusanagi noticed that Kakuzu was still shirtless and couldn't help but ask him questions out of curiosity.

"I didn't realize that you had a habit of going shirtless, Kakuzu?"

"I only have one set of clothes. I'll just change into his when I hunt down the next target..."

Cao Zhi gave a thumbs up, "This kind of thrifty and money-making talent is the savior of the Flying Grass Kingdom's finances!"

However, the most urgent task now is to restore Kakuzu's strength, since four parts of his heart have been lost, leaving only his life force!

The plan to return to the village had to be temporarily postponed.

Two months later...

After having four Jonin-level hearts replaced, Kakuzu successfully regained his strength and even earned a bounty. However, there haven't been any missions available recently, as the two of them have cleared them out!

Kusaji thought Kakuzu was great in every way, except for one thing: he was exceptionally meticulous about money. No matter how much the bounty was, he insisted on counting it in person...

Neither of them were weak, and they quickly returned to the Land of Grass. Kakuzu silently stared at the village in front of him, which resembled a rural-urban fringe area, and glared at Kusashi with his pupils.

"This is what you called the sixth largest country in the ninja world?"

Kusaji patted Kakuzu's shoulder forcefully.

"Young comrade, don't be impatient. The revolution is not yet successful. Let's work hard for a few more years. We may not be able to surpass Konoha and Kumogakure, but at least we can easily crush the weakest village, Sunagakure!"

Kakuzu watched as every commoner respectfully bowed to Kusashi as he walked along the country road, and said nothing more.

Even if they are poor, at least they have the support of the people. These ordinary people give him the feeling that they are full of hope for life, unlike in other countries where most people are like walking corpses!

When Kana saw the person who hadn't returned for a long time appear in the office, she excitedly went up to him and gave him a big hug.

"Welcome back, Professor Chicago!"

"Should I notify the other senior executives to hold a meeting?"

Cao Zhi stretched and then said.

"You should hand over all the financial work that we've done in the Land of Grass over the years to Kakuzu. He's now a newly promoted high-ranking official, specifically in charge of finance!"

Kana nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and watched Kusaji leave.

Then he pulled open the heavy and cluttered cabinet.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kakuzu, these are all the taxes and expenditures from after the reconstruction. Please take a look..."

Looking at the mountain of financial statements, Chanel offered her suggestion.

"Should I arrange for a few young people with strong computing skills to assist you?"

Kakuzu smiled confidently, then opened his heavy notebook.

When it comes to settling accounts, Kakuzu claims to be the strongest ninja in the world!

Kakuzu calmly pushed Kana aside, and then his hands seemed to leave afterimages as the documents on the long table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After resting, Cao Zhi ran to the other side of the village and came to a wooden house. She gently pushed it open and moved the cushion used for disguise, revealing a hole that was only a person's width wide.

After inspecting the night watchmen's training, Cao Zhi patted them with satisfaction and straightened his chest.

"Good, very good. The Night Watch's number one instructor, we definitely made the right choice!"

Looking at the nearly one hundred children aged 6-11 standing in several rows in the underground stronghold, Cao Zhi felt extremely satisfied. These little guys will have considerable combat power in a few years!

The younger kids ran laps around the tree roots, exercising during the day and refining their chakra at night, while the older teenagers practiced various assassination techniques on mannequins.

Once trained, these children will become the most loyal warriors under Kusashi's command, mainly composed of orphans who have lost their support in the village and homeless children within the Land of Grass!

Having enough to eat was what these children wanted most at first, and Cao Zhi paid for it. Now, the only thing these children need to do is become stronger and eventually become members of the Night Watch, protecting the village and the Grass Kingdom!

After returning to the village, he briefly briefed the higher-ups and then introduced the newly promoted leader, Finance Minister Kakuzu!

Wu Sheng looked at Kakuzu with disdain, suspecting that he was just a scavenger that Lord Kusakage had picked up randomly outside.

However, Wusheng was quickly won over by Kakuzu. After Kakuzu stood up and introduced himself, he took out several manuals from his chest.

"These are all expenses incurred after the reconstruction of the Grass Country!"

"There is an undisclosed expense associated with the construction of this bridge!"

"And here..."

Seeing Kakuzu uncover the financial loopholes, the high-ranking officials who had embezzled and misappropriated funds turned pale and trembled, unable to speak.

Cao Zhi calmly stuck a kunai into the desk.

"Past events will be forgiven. Make sure you repay the embezzled public funds within three days. However, if you do it again, prepare to commit suicide as an atonement!"

The intense killing intent startled the high-ranking officials in the conference room. Long Shengcang clenched his fists, thinking to himself.

"This is the kind of strong person I want to follow. He is powerful yet shrewd. Lord Kusakage will surely make the Land of Grass great again!"

After the meeting, Wusheng suggested that they celebrate the return of Lord Kusaji and have the whole country celebrate for a day, but Kakuzu dismissed the idea with a single sentence.

"Okay, then the money will be deducted from the Wuyi Clan's account!"

"Ah... well, I was just suggesting that there's really no need for such a waste. Lord Zhi is right, in the early stages of construction, saving resources should be the priority..."

Cao Zhi lay lazily on the bed. Having solved the village's temporary funding problem, he needed to think of more ways to make money. After all, always going out to work as a part-time bounty hunter was not what a leader should do, it was just hard labor!

After locking himself in his room and racking his brains for three whole days, Cao Zhi, his eyes bloodshot, returned to his office.

"Chanel, get me a bunch of draft paper. I need it very much!"

Looking at Caozhi, who had a stubble and looked haggard from staying up all night, Xiang Nai felt a pang of sympathy.

"Lord Zhi, why don't you take a rest?"

"It's alright, Kana. Just bring me the manuscript paper as I say!"

Kusashiba took the manuscript paper in his hand, then asked Kana to leave the office, and began to write furiously on it!

Some writing could be faintly seen on the manuscript paper...

(Uchiha Bai Jie)
