Chapter 175 Making Money

After separating from Tsunade, Aokihiko went to Kakuzu at the agreed time and place to discuss how to get money.

In a small room, two people sat around a round table.

Kakuzu took out a small notebook filled with information about wealthy businessmen, and even thoughtfully posted photos.

On the other hand, Qing Pheasant is much simpler, so simple that nothing is written.

Kakuzu was naturally very dissatisfied with this. He looked like a worker who had been deceived by his boss. He said in a gruff voice, "You must be lazy, why haven't you prepared anything?"

"Brother Kakuzu, I'm not happy when you say that." Aokiji strongly denied it and poked his head, "I just kept the information in my mind." "

Although he was indeed busy dating Tsunade for a while and did not collect information, he was still working seriously later on.

In order to prove his innocence, Qingzhi presented the information collected in his mind one by one.

Name: Akizuki Kozo.

Gender male, age 65 years old.

……

……

I have been married twice in the past. The first wedding was to a commoner, the second was to a rich woman, and the third was to a young girl who was only 18 years old. Every time I got married, my ex-wife would accidentally fall ill due to illness. After he died, I guessed that this person had a bad character and a lot of money, so he was a perfect person to do justice to God.

After listening to this, Kakuzu believed that Aokiji was serious about gathering information.

Qing Pheasant raised his hands to vote: "I propose that we start with this person first."

"can."

Kakuzu nodded slightly. For him, as long as he had money, it would be fine. Whoever comes first can do it: "What's the plan?"

"I'm going to kidnap her wife, and then threaten the old guy to give her money. For this reason, I've investigated where her wife likes to go."

"What? It's hard for the guards around that wealthy businessman to attack?"

Kakuzu felt that with the strength of him and Aokiji, it shouldn't be difficult to do it. He directly used the Sharingan to hypnotize the rich man to obtain information. After using it, he killed him directly and destroyed the corpse to eliminate any traces.

In Aoki's words, he kills all scum anyway, so he doesn't feel guilty, and he also has a sense of moral superiority in doing justice for heaven.

Then use part of the money to open an orphanage to help homeless street children, and select qualified orphans among them to join the organization. Why not?

"I don't recommend doing this. If the modus operandi is too simple, it will be difficult not to make people think of it."

Qing Zhi rubbed his chin and said cautiously: "Besides, we have to finish this job and move to another place immediately."

Kakuzu nodded in approval, quite approving of it.

Qingzhi continued: Although it is a little troublesome, we are in a high-risk profession, so no matter how cautious we are, we can't be too cautious. "

"You're right." Kakuzu followed the advice: "Then what are we waiting for? Why don't we kidnap his wife and ask him for ransom?"

"Calm down." Qing Zhi crossed his legs and waved his hand: "What's the hurry?"

Kakuzu said he was not calm: "Time is money."

Qingzhi smiled and said: "Capturing his wife can be done at any time with our strength. The key is to maximize profits while controlling risks."

Jiaodu became interested in the word profit maximization as soon as he heard it: "How to maximize profits, please tell me."

"Revenue - Cost = Profit, this sentence is easy to understand. There are only two ways to obtain the maximum profit, either increase revenue or reduce costs."

Kakuzu nodded and listened quietly. He liked this kind of economic course very much.

"In my line of work, the income is simply the money you can get after completing this job. The cost is the time cost of doing this job. Of course, there will also be some equipment costs, which are ignored. In order to reduce risks , our crime time cannot be too normal, in other words, the time cost cannot be reduced, then the only thing left is to find ways to increase income."

Kakuzu was still thinking like a ninja: "Increase income? Do you mean to extort more?"

Qingzhi shook his head and denied: "If the blackmail is too much, it will exceed the other party's tolerance, and the other party will hesitate. If he hesitates, we will be slow to collect the money, and the risk will be high."

Kakuzu sounded reasonable: "What do you mean?"

"Eat the pigs after they are fattened."

Kakuzu:? ? ?

Aokiji smiled and said, "Brother Kakuzu, is he still a bounty hunter?"

Kakuzu was stunned, wondering why he asked this?

Even though he was confused, he still gave a reply: "I haven't done anything since you came last time."

Ever since he discovered that there was so much money in the profession of "walking for the gods", Kakuzu said that whoever worked as a bounty hunter was stupid, and the money came in too slowly.

Qingzhi smiled: "Bounty hunter, don't stop, keep going."

Kakuzu looked confused.

Aokiji didn't reply immediately, but instead asked another question: "Brother Kakuzu, when you were a bounty hunter, did you ever experience changes in the bounty of the bounty target?"

Kakuzu thought for a moment: "There has been such a thing."

"Then have you ever thought about catching them first and waiting for their value to increase?"

Kakuzu was stunned. As an honest person, he had never thought about such a thing, but then he thought about it and said it was not possible. He said what he thought: "This kind of opportunity is rare, and it is not so easy to appreciate."

Qingzhi smiled slightly: "It's true that waiting for the bounty target to increase in value is very risky, but how can we intervene manually?"

Kakuzu was stunned: "Human intervention?"

"How much do you think the reward for this bounty target will increase to if he kidnaps and blackmails a wealthy man?"

"You kid is really a genius."

Jiaodu understood it and couldn't help laughing. The more he looked at Qing Pheasant, the more he liked it. It was so profitable.

Qing Pheasant also smiled: "At that time, he will have to thank us for avenging him. Haha..."

"That's really interesting." Kakuzu thought wildly: "In this case, we can use this identity to get rid of the charges, right?"

Aoki nodded: "But brother Kakuto, you have to be careful. With your status, it is inconvenient to exchange rewards frequently. Otherwise, it will be too easy to arouse suspicion."

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean to let me borrow the identity of another bounty hunter?"

"Yes, but before I borrow this identity as a bounty hunter, I will avoid unnecessary trouble in the future..." Qingzhi wiped his neck, and his meaning was already obvious.

There is a mixed bag of bounty hunters in the black market. There is everyone, and Aoki Pheasant will not have any psychological burden when killing him.

Kakuzu basically understood Aokiji's thinking, but there was still one point that was still unclear: "In that case, why don't you let me just give up my identity as a bounty hunter? Instead, use the identities of other bounty hunters."

Aoki glanced at him: "With Brother Kakuto's strength, he should be considered a celebrity among bounty hunters in the black market."

"If we just talk about the level of personal strength, I have never met anyone stronger than me." Kakuzu is not boasting, but simply stating the facts.

Aoki nodded in approval, speaking of it, Kakuzu was a weirdo.

His strength is considered relatively powerful even at the Shadow level, yet he actually deigns to become a bounty hunter.

Qingzhi analyzed: "With your strength and reputation, if you suddenly wash your hands in a golden basin, it is easy to cover up your behavior. Therefore, my suggestion is to slowly reduce the frequency of performing tasks first, and then slowly retreat. In this way, It won’t look out of place.”

"You are so cautious."

Kakuzu admires Aokiji's ability to consider all aspects. Cooperating with someone like him can save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, there was another thing about Aokiji that he valued very much. Aokiji was a very principled person, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and he even often used money to help those poor people.

Although this seems a bit childish in Kakuzu's eyes, it actually highlights Aokiji's ability and principle.

After determining the general direction, Aokiji and Kakuzu got busy inside.

The first thing they wanted to do was find a bounty hunter to kill him. Through Kakuzu's relationship network, the two of them easily found a bounty hunter to kill him.

This bounty hunter has average strength, bad character, and has few friends around him. He can be said to be the most suitable target.

With the strength of Kakuzu and Aokiji, it would be easy to kill him.

After getting rid of the bounty hunter, Aokiji and Kakuzu took the second step to find a bounty target and easily defeated it.

It would be easy for the two of them to deal with such a bounty target even if they didn't use secret techniques and blood inheritance limits.

"Damn it, it's too strong."

The defeated bounty target lay on the ground with a look of despair.

Kakuzu grabbed his head roughly, his green eyes exuding a frightening gaze: "I will give you two choices now. First, follow me, you can live and make money, second..."

Before Kakuzu finished speaking, the bounty target immediately agreed: "I choose one."

You don’t need to think about it to know that the second is death.

Everyone was very satisfied and looked at Tool Man No. 1.

They need tool people to disguise their identities. If they are killed directly, the corpses will rot, so they keep them around for now. When they are needed, they will deliberately reveal their identities and wait for the value to increase before choosing to kill them.

Desperate people like them can only obey the mercy of Aokiji and Kakuzu. They are not afraid of defecting under the pressure of coercion and inducement.

Kakuzu glanced at a man wearing a swirling one-eyed orange mask.

Qing Pheasant understood the meaning, stepped forward, and used the palm magic to treat the tool man No. 1.

The tool man's complexion gradually turned red, and he swallowed: "May I ask what you two adults call them?"

Kakuzu: Ding Xiu

Green Pheasant: King of Ye

The two informed Tool No. 1 of the pseudonyms they had prepared in advance.

A changed magnetic voice came from under the Qing Pheasant mask: "The two of us want to do something now and need some manpower. A desperado like you is very suitable for us."

Tool Man No. 1 said weakly: "Excuse me, Lord Ding Xiu and Lord Ye, what do you need the little ones for?"

Qing Zhi spit out two words: "Kidnapping."

Tool Man No. 1:? ? ?

After that, Kakuzu and Aoki went to find Tool Man No. 2 and followed the same pattern.

In this way, Aokiji and Kakuzu's advance preparations were basically ready, and it was time for the most critical practical stage.
