Chapter 95 Is this really the fastest way to make money?
Such a colossal celestial dragon is among the highest-ranking celestial dragons on Dragon Island, second only to the oldest golden dragon in strength and status.
The reason for conducting the spiritual communication on Dragon Island was twofold: firstly, to give everyone some practice, and secondly, to make it easier for Celestial Dragon to return to Dragon Island afterward.
Although the Summoning Technique may seem like an ordinary C-rank ninjutsu, it is actually the same as the Flying Thunder God Technique, both being point-to-point jump teleportation 'space-time ninjutsu'.
The energy that summons the beast is powered by the caster's chakra.
The larger and more powerful the summon, the greater the chakra consumption required to send it over.
Therefore, in the original work, when Naruto first learned the Summoning Jutsu, he couldn't use the Nine-Tails' chakra skillfully, so he could only summon a small toad the size of his palm.
It wasn't until a major event occurred that he lost his temper and used the Nine-Tails' chakra to summon the giant toad Gamabunta.
Similarly, when a summoned beast explodes in white smoke, it instantly returns to its home, relying on the caster's chakra.
To put it simply, the Summoning Bamboo Contract is where the ninja provides a reward and chakra packs for the round trip, in exchange for the summoning beast's assistance.
Because Yahiko and the other two didn't have much chakra, they each summoned a small celestial dragon just big enough to carry one of them.
Souji and Sasori, on the other hand, had enough chakra, so they didn't care about the consumption of chakra and summoned the largest celestial dragons.
The dragon carried the group into the air, its huge wings flapping gently before suddenly bursting forth with a speed far exceeding that of the Souji, and soared out of Dragon Island in an instant.
In terms of both speed and agility, being carried by a dragon is far superior to flying on one's own.
Although it took some time this time, it's a one-time solution that will save me a lot of time when I travel around the ninja world in the future.
The key is having such a huge dragon carrying you on its back—that's incredibly impressive.
Whether you're trying to subdue or intimidate someone, the visual impact is off the charts.
Tianlong flew westward and soon arrived at a small island.
This small island may seem ordinary, but according to these celestial dragons, it is actually the lair of the Misty Pirates.
Although Tianlong doesn't pay much attention to humans outside the area, he still has a general idea of what's going on in the surrounding area.
Upon learning this information, the commander naturally decided to come over first.
Looking down from this vantage point, they couldn't see any trace of the Mist Pirates; it seemed they were all guarding their lair.
Celestial Dragon quickly circled the island and soon found a huge hole connecting to the ocean.
When the dragon flew in, it landed on the ground with a loud thud, leaving the pirates inside completely bewildered.
"A dragon! It's a dragon!"
"How could a dragon appear here!"
"Prepare for battle!"
The Hidden Mist Pirates frantically tried to take action, but before they could do anything, the Heavenly Dragon breathed out flames, instantly burning all the ninjas to ashes.
The pirates were now even more terrified.
These dragons usually ignore humans, so why did they suddenly rush in today and start killing people without saying a word?
Although many people were killed in the last battle, most of the thousands were temporary additions from Kirigakure.
The original force that specialized in fighting pirates numbered only a little over a hundred, and they weren't wiped out last time; nearly a hundred remained.
However, these guys are only at the Chunin and Genin level, and they have absolutely no power to resist a top-tier summoning beast like the Celestial Dragon.
Soon, all the pirates were burned to death.
The Souji didn't pay much attention to these guys.
He looked around and, because of the simple structure, quickly found the pirate's treasure location along the way.
Because these pirates are ostensibly rogue ninja from Kirigakure, their hideout is far from the village, and they don't return there often.
Even the treasure they plunder is only handed over periodically.
The Souji had no idea how much treasure he had; he had only come with a "let's give it a try" attitude.
However, the result was quite good.
The pirates' treasure vault was piled high with valuables, estimated to be worth at least ten million taels of silver.
Normally, many merchant ships would avoid this area, as the profits from plundering wouldn't be that good.
Therefore, it's estimated that many of these ships belong to people like Umino Rokuro, who secretly hoard their wealth for themselves.
In any case, all these valuables were placed into the sealing scroll, and Celestial Dragon even had the pirate's last remaining large ship towed away, aiming to make sure they were completely wiped out.
"I made tens of millions on this trip, and the funding issue is finally settled!"
The Souji sighed with emotion.
The three people listening nearby were somewhat dazed.
He went out for a few days and made tens of millions?
We used to be so poor that we often didn't have enough to eat, sometimes not even knowing where our next meal would come from.
A few hundred taels of silver were considered a lot...
Why is it that the captain has made tens of millions just by killing some pirates?
Is this really the fastest way to make money...?
All three of them couldn't help but show thoughtful expressions.
Sasori looked at the three of them as if they were idiots.
What are Mochizuki Souji's and my strengths?
Kage-level figures, if they're willing to take action, can just find a rich target and do it; the money will flow in like water. What's so strange about that?
...
A few days later, when Mizukage Yagura learned of this news, he was furious once again.
"Mochizuki Souji actually subdued a dragon!?"
Looking at the investigation report handed over by his subordinates, Yagura Karatachi was both angry and puzzled.
The pirates were wiped out in their lair.
Interrogation of witnesses in the vicinity revealed that a multi-headed celestial dragon carried Mochizuki Souji and his companions away...
Those arrogant celestial dragons have always ignored everyone.
Many powerful individuals have tried to negotiate and sign contracts with them, but no matter how strong they are or how good the conditions they offer, no one has ever succeeded.
How did Mochizuki Souji manage to do that?
Furthermore, during the last siege, a powerful and mysterious puppeteer even appeared.
Puppet masters are unique to Sunagakure.
Could this be a trap set by Konoha and Sunagakure to lure me into a pit?
"Damn it! I shouldn't have trusted Shimura Danzo's information so easily last time!
That guy definitely set me up on purpose!"
Yagura slammed his fist on the table and cursed.
The Grand Elder of Kirigakure, the Marshal, slowly began to speak:
"Lord Mizukage, it seems Konoha is well aware of our situation.
This is likely because they sensed we were about to declare war on Konoha, and thus gave us a warning and weakened our strength in advance..."
"That must be it, Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi... That guy is indeed cunning and shrewd!"
"When Hiruzen Sarutobi was young, he was quite naive, but after sitting in the Hokage position for a long time, he has become more and more cunning."
Unaware of the truth, Yagura and the Marshal blamed everything on the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"However, that young man named Mochizuki Souji is also quite strong.
He was able to kill Umino Rokuro and the others silently."
The marshal remarked with some emotion:
"I've heard that there's another young man in Konoha named Minato Namikaze.
He's fought against Onoki and Chiyo in the Land of Rain many times. It's truly enviable that Konoha has these two among its younger generation."
"Hmph! No matter how strong Konoha is, can it withstand the combined attack of the four great ninja villages of Sand, Rock, Cloud, and Mist at the same time?" Yagura Karatachi said disdainfully.
"Lord Mizukage, have you decided to go to war with Konoha?"
"Of course! We've already reached an agreement with Kumogakure, how could we possibly back out now?"
Yagura looked towards Konoha and said coldly:
"We are at war with Kumogakure and Konoha.
Even though Sunagakure and Iwagakure suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, they will definitely seize the opportunity to launch another attack on Konoha!"
