Under the post, not only had countless Shinobi liked the Akatsuki Idol Group’s performance, but several wealthy nobles were also inquiring about their booking fees.
In the comment section, Tsunade was practically green with envy and asked how Naruto, who was undercover in the Akatsuki, had managed to pull this off.
After all, he is a Shinobi of Konoha, so how come he’s giving outsiders the good stuff first instead of helping his own village?
Naruto didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this.
But in the end, he still sent Tsunade the business model for performance-based income and even included a few popular songs from his past life, letting her figure it out herself.
It also saves her from leading the white-haired old man into mischief and scamming people in the village all day long.
If things kept going like this...
Naruto was genuinely worried Tsunade might invent some new form of Shinobi World scam out of desperation.
…
Bang…
In the Hokage’s Office, Tsunade slammed her desk in excitement and called for Shizune outside the door, and even called Jiraiya.
"Look at this!!"
Tsunade put her feet on the table, held her phone, and played the video of the Akatsuki Idol Group to the two of them.
"Look at your student’s work, then look at the garbage we’ve been doing!"
"Ours is child’s play in comparison!"
While the Akatsuki Idol Group made 800 million ryo from this performance, Tsunade knew the real profits went far beyond that.
If the Akatsuki could create an idol group, why couldn’t their Konoha do the same?
After all, the popularity of the Konoha’s Sannin was also very high back then!
In the past, Tsunade had always believed that fame like this was nothing but a liability, as it’s only making them bigger targets for enemies.
But now, she suddenly realized the business potential hidden within.
Especially after Hiruzen had cut off her financial path.
"Come on! We’re going to find Orochimaru!"
Jiraiya: “???”
Tsunade ignored the confused Jiraiya, then immediately opened Orochimaru's chat interface and started sending messages.
[Goddess of Gamblers: I have a way to make money, do you want to do it?]
[Goddess of Gamblers: After the calculations, I take 70%, you get 30%.]
In the laboratory, Orochimaru saw the message from Tsunade and immediately tossed his phone aside.
‘Pathetic.’
‘Tsunade, this big fat sheep, actually said she was making money?!’
‘Was she trying to scam me now?!’
Over the years, his savings have almost been wiped out by Sasuke. He still has so many people to support in the hideout, and there are still many scientific research projects that have not been started, so he didn't have much time to fool around with Tsunade.
Orochimaru continued his experiments, completely ignoring Tsunade.
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…
But when he didn’t reply, Tsunade spammed him relentlessly. Finally, Orochimaru couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up his phone and prepared to block Tsunade.
However, the moment he saw the message, Orochimaru hesitated...
[Goddess of Gamblers: Akatsuki Idol Group.avi]
[Goddess of Gamblers: They made 800 million ryo in one trip!!]
[Goddess of Gamblers: Sasuke’s been bleeding you dry, hasn’t he?]
[GeneticImmortal: Details.]
To be honest, Orochimaru was tempted.
Because he was indeed running low on funds. While Sasuke wasn’t blowing up hideouts anymore, his savings wouldn’t last more than a few years at this rate.
And who knew if Mitsuki would end up causing as much trouble as Sasuke in the future.
…
That night, Tsunade and Jiraiya secretly arrived at Orochimaru's hideout.
After some negotiations, Orochimaru finally agreed to join Tsunade's team.
And so, following the Akatsuki Idol Group, the legendary Sannin Idol Group was also established.
"Sasori, Deidara, what are you two doing?"
Naruto suddenly came up behind the Slacker Duo and called them, which startled the two who were talking about how to study the self-aware puppets.
"N-Nothing!"
"We were just talking about the reconstruction plans!"
Deidara's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he was wondering whether the other party had discovered that he and Sasori had embezzled the funds.
"Yeah. Cult Leader, did you need something?"
Sasori was also a little panicked.
After all, the project he was working on with Deidara this time was meant to be a surprise for Naruto later.
If it was discovered too early, Naruto might question his loyalty.
Naruto glanced at the two of them suspiciously.
‘Why do these two seem so sketchy…?’
‘Whatever. As long as they’re not building a Death Star in Amegakure…’
Thinking of this, Naruto planned to reduce the Akatsuki organization's funds as much as possible, to prevent them from turning Amegakure into some kind of flying fortress.
"Oh, right."
"Can you two develop a mobile payment feature for smartphones..."
He found out that Tsunade had contacted Orochimaru to form some kind of Sannin Group, and if they want to make money under this model, they must first develop mobile payment, and followed by live-streaming donations later.
Tsunade knew that Naruto was still connected to the Cult Mechanicus, so she began urging him to hurry up and develop this thing.
Naruto thought that introducing mobile payments would indeed make life more convenient for everyone, so he went to find the other two.
He also decided to have Sasori develop some useful gadgets while he was at it.
"Mo... mobile payments?"
It was the first time they heard such a strange term. Sasori and Didara looked at each other, unsure of what it meant.
Realizing his explanation might not have been clear, Naruto spent the next hour or so explaining the concept of mobile payments to them.
Once they roughly understood, both patted their chests and assured him it wouldn’t be a problem, claiming they could get the feature up and running in no time.
After wrapping up that discussion, Naruto took out three phones from his inventory and handed them to Sasori.
"By the way, help me modify it, just for it to be connected to the Internet."
"Understood, Cult Leader."
Since the Immortal Emperor Kurama saw him and Sasuke playing with their phones during this period, he insisted that Shukaku wanted to play too. Even after being whipped, he kept pestering about it.
Eventually, the Immortal Emperor Kurama claimed his heart couldn’t bear to see such suffering and finally spoke up to Naruto.
Naruto didn’t even want to call out the fox’s act.
Zzzzt…
Lightning crackled, and Naruto knew that Sasuke was coming.
"Naruto."
"The location of Uchiha Itachi."
Sasuke, holding the Heavy Xuan Ruler, walked to the three people with a very ugly face.
His mood had nothing to do with Naruto. Instead, it was completely because Orochimaru had just sent a message asking him how he felt about joining the Akatsuki Idol Group…
‘I felt like trash!!’
Now, the leader of the Akatsuki was even discussing their next performance...
If Sasuke had known joining this organization meant dancing and making a fool of himself, he would’ve never listened to Naruto and joined!!
After all, the Uchiha Clan had a reputation to uphold. What was the difference between selling themselves out like this for money and those people in red-light districts?!
Naruto turned to Sasori and asked him to locate Itachi's position.
"Wait a minute."
Sasori pulled out his phone and began tracking the signal from Itachi’s device.
Every phone sold by the Cult Mechanicus contained small amounts of Chakra, and the Cult Mechanicus’s branches in the Shinobi World have established Chakra signal relay stations, so pinpointing a location was child’s play.
"Found him..."
"But he seems to be moving quickly."
Hearing this, Sasuke leaned in and glanced at the rapidly moving red dot on the screen. He immediately realized where Itachi was heading.
"The Uchiha Clan’s compound."
Sasuke estimated that Itachi would arrive at the Uchiha Clan’s compound in less than an hour, so he turned his head and looked at Naruto with a silent request in his eyes.
"Alright, alright."
"I get it."
Naruto couldn’t stand the look in his eyes and casually opened a portal, and then the two of them went in one after the other.
