This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 495 Win-Win

"etc!"

Nishikawa Tetsu had anticipated Kakudo's reaction, but this was too hasty; he hadn't even finished outlining his conditions yet.

To deal with this kind of money-grubber, talking about ideals and job security is useless; you have to throw even bigger benefits at him!

"If you're not satisfied with the fixed salary, then we can try a different way of working together."

Nishikawa Tetsu called out to Kakuzu and unleashed his prepared ultimate trump card.

"In my personal capacity, I'm giving you one percent of the shares in Konoha Express Logistics Group, as a form of investment based on your technical expertise."

"Shares? Konoha Express?" Kakuzu stopped and turned around, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but at the same time, he was intrigued by this new term.

"That's right!"

Nishikawa Tetsu walked to the table and pressed a button.

A massive network map covering the five major countries and densely marked with various nodes instantly unfolded in mid-air.

"What you see now is the transportation and infrastructure network of the ninja world's shared destiny. And Konoha Express is a unique and irreplaceable ultra-high-speed logistics system built upon the Flying Thunder Formation Technique!"

In fact, the Cloud Village's Heavenly Delivery Technique can also do this, but it has more limitations. Anyway, you won't even know if the horn is blown.

Nishikawa Tetsu's voice was full of seductive charm, and he began to skillfully paint a rosy picture.

"Imagine that the medicinal herbs urgently needed by nobles and wealthy merchants, which would normally take half a month to arrive, can now be delivered in just one minute. Top-tier ninja tools from the Land of Lightning can instantly appear at auctions in the Land of Water. The profits inherent in this kind of trans-dimensional logistical monopoly are immeasurable!"

"And you, Kakuzu. Not only do you have a wealth of experience and a thorough understanding of the black markets and trade routes of various countries, but your rigorous, even demanding, financial management skills are exactly what this vast logistics empire needs most."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Kakuzu, his mind racing with cunning.

Bringing Kakuzu in would not only allow him to handle the Ministry of Finance's bad debts, but also enable him to oversee Konoha Express's business expansion and cost control.

Most importantly, this guy has five hearts, so he's not afraid of dying from overwork at all!

This is simply the most perfect high-level worker in the ninja world!

"One percent of the shares, in the future, will absolutely be a terrifying fortune enough for you to buy half a small country. How about that? Isn't that better than digging in a tunnel your whole life?"

After listening to Nishikawa Tetsu's impassioned description, Kakuzu's long-dormant heart... no, all five of his hearts, pounded violently at the same time.

Monopolizing logistics across the entire ninja world? Instant delivery across space?

The amount of money behind this exceeded all his previous understanding.

Kakuzu had to admit that he was indeed tempted.

This pie in the sky looks so tempting and delicious.

but.

As someone who has lived for so many years, and a bounty hunter who doesn't act until he sees a clear benefit, how could Kakuzu be completely fooled by Nishikawa Tetsu's few words?

"Vice Minister, your vision is very ambitious, and I am very interested in it."

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes.

"But a pie is still just a pie. Before Konoha Speedrun really starts making a profit and I start receiving my share of the profits, I need to have money to eat, right?"

Kakuzu extended one finger and made his request.

"If you want me to work two jobs at the Ministry of Finance, that's fine."

"I want the shares, but my fixed monthly salary must be paid at the highest standard I currently receive in the construction team, where I do the work of more than a dozen people. Not a penny less."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Kakuzu's self-righteous and unyielding money-grubbing demeanor, and his eyes became somewhat strange.

He was prepared for the possibility that the city would make exorbitant demands, such as a higher base salary, more shares, or even an advance payment of dividends.

After all, given Kakuzu's abilities and the enormous workload he would be undertaking in Konoha, Nishikawa Tetsu even planned to offer him double the maximum salary. He wasn't some kind of stingy, bloodsucking capitalist.

result.

This old bastard, after holding it in for so long, only came up with this one minimum requirement?!

Is it enough to just keep the current wage level?!

"Is this the perspective of a long-time miser?"

Nishikawa Tetsu was practically laughing his head off inside.

This isn't a negotiation; it's clearly someone offering themselves up to be taken advantage of.

This salary is nothing compared to the daily income of Konoha and Speedy.

However, on the surface, Nishikawa Tetsu did not show any secret delight.

He took a deep breath, his brows furrowed tightly, and a look of pain instantly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Kakuzu... your request is really a bit excessive."

Nishikawa Tetsu gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in his office, pretending to be troubled, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes sighing.

"Do you know that your current salary is several times higher than my base salary as a deputy minister!"

That's true, but his year-end bonus was high.

Since he came to the Ministry of Finance, he has adjusted the salary structure for all administrative staff in Konoha to a monthly salary plus year-end bonus.

Not only are the frontline employees very satisfied, but the senior, middle and junior managers are also very satisfied.

"If I make this exception for you, it will be difficult for me to explain to my superiors. This would seriously disrupt the balance of the Ministry of Finance's salary system."

Seeing Nishikawa Tetsu's pained expression only strengthened Kakuzu's resolve.

"Hmph, you're not even willing to spend this little bit of money, yet you expect to get me to do anything for free? No way!"

Kaku impatiently crossed his arms: "Vice Minister, if you find this difficult, then just pretend I was never here."

As he spoke, he prepared to turn around.

"No, no, no!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, Nishikawa Tetsu slammed his hand on the table, pretending to be bleeding heavily.

"Alright, I promise! For the future of Konoha, I'll give you this money no matter what!"

Nishikawa Tetsu let out a long sigh, as if he had made a very difficult decision.

"But Kakuzu, now that you've joined the Ministry of Finance and secured a job in Konoha, you must completely get rid of all those bad habits you had as a rogue ninja and bounty hunter!"

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at him sternly, which was what worried him the most.

"No taking on private jobs, no selling village information for money. We must uphold the professional and incorruptible image of Konoha's Ministry of Finance. Can you do that?"

Jiao Du sneered inwardly. As long as the money was right, he would be willing to eat vegetarian food every day.

"As long as the Vice Minister pays his salary on time, he will receive his share of the profits in full."

Kakuzu lowered his head slightly.

"I'll do whatever you ask me to do. Even if you ask me to go to Daming Prefecture to collect debts, I won't refuse."

"very good."

Nishikawa Tetsu extended his hand with satisfaction.

"Welcome to the Konoha Finance Department, Mr. Kakuzu."

Kakuzu was very satisfied with the treatment Nishikawa Tetsu gave him, and Nishikawa Tetsu was also very satisfied with being able to trick Kakuzu into coming over. This was a win-win situation!
