〖Year Two〗

Time passed quickly.

By now, the ocean-spanning bridge entrusted to Tazuna had been completed. At the same time, under Gato's initiative, a shipping business was launched, and the chaotic shinobi factions around the Land of Waves were consolidated and organized to provide armed protection for traveling merchants.

Due to the ongoing political turmoil in the Land of Water, a large number of merchants and even fishermen chose to flee. In contrast, the Land of Waves remained stable.

Gato seized this opportunity, luring in former clientele from the Land of Water. In just one short year, this impoverished, remote island nation was transformed into a major commercial hub in the southern region of the shinobi continent...

Meanwhile, you had spent the entire year in seclusion, focusing exclusively on mastering various secret techniques.

First was "Dustless Bewildering Cover." After achieving basic mastery of it, you combined it with your Transparent Escape.

Not only did this achieve the expected synergy—dramatically enhancing your concealment capabilities—but it also allowed you to cast high-powered ninjutsu while remaining invisible!

Even more impressively, you managed to merge it with your Susanoo, allowing parts of—or even your entire—Susanoo to temporarily become invisible.

Moreover, your sensory abilities had already become extraordinary. Even when your Six-Tomoe Sharingan had only just awakened, you were already capable of detecting White Zetsu's presence and sensing spatial fluctuations.

With such outstanding natural aptitude and a profound understanding of Sealing Techniques, you quickly mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After investing some additional time, you successfully integrated your reflexes with the jutsu. When combined with your stealth capabilities, you truly achieved movement that left no trace.

As for the seals used for Flying Thunder God teleportation, you directly used masks as markers. While you were at it, you upgraded the masks for the organization's Gold Mask, Silver Mask, and the promising Iron Mask members.

With this, once Gato's commercial empire fully matured, you would be free to jump across the entire shinobi world at will!

You also mastered the soul cultivation method within the Spirit Transformation Technique.

To be honest, in this era's shinobi world, aside from Nagato who goes all-in from the start, no one can truly threaten you. But your ambitions go beyond mere unification of the shinobi world.

Your true goal is to eliminate Black Zetsu and uncover the truth hidden behind the shinobi world.

That's why you needed the Spirit Transformation Technique's soul cultivation method. Even though you only practiced it during your fragmented downtime, you still noticed a clear increase in your soul's strength.

However, the technique that continued to frustrate you was the "Fission Technique."

The structure of this jutsu was incredibly intricate, involving cellular-level disassembly and recombination. Yet the training methods and theories written by the Second Tsuchikage were exceedingly abstract.

You couldn't make heads or tails of his non-standard, overly colloquial terminology—or the incomprehensible sketches that looked like chicken scratch.

No wonder Ōnoki never learned this jutsu. It's not that he didn't want to—it's simply unteachable!

Still, the jutsu's functionality was too tempting. You had no choice but to cram knowledge of biological science from the shinobi world.

As a result, Gato's companies began to dabble in tech development, recruiting freelance scientists and medical-nin, and even establishing preliminary collaborations with Kumogakure...

...

At the same time—

Due to Gato's rapid corporate expansion, the company's branches—aside from its headquarters in the Land of Waves—lacked sufficient high-level shinobi protection.

They quickly drew the attention of local nobles and merchants. Several branches were attacked, suffering heavy losses.

With only Zabuza and Haku available, they were stretched too thin to cover all the bases.

Eventually, someone even placed a bounty on Gato in the black market.

And the assassinations began.

The enemy was powerful—so much so that even Zabuza and Haku couldn't fend them off together.

Thankfully, you had already outfitted your subordinates with masks that served as Flying Thunder God coordinates.

Remaining in stealth, you arrived just in time and easily dispatched the bounty ninja with only a kunai. But what truly caught you off guard was Kakuzu.

That old warhorse, already absorbed into the Akatsuki, was actually out taking freelance jobs?

Or perhaps... he was acting on Akatsuki's orders?

Remaining invisible, you exchanged a few heavy blows with Kakuzu, every punch cracking the earth-style armor covering his iron-like body.

Eventually, when you got bored, you sealed Kakuzu in a thick block of ice—leaving only his head exposed.

Then, you interrogated him using your Sharingan.

Under the illusion of a massive financial windfall, Kakuzu's will collapsed entirely.

He confessed that the assassination was meant to both raise funds for Akatsuki and earn himself a slice of the ryo bounty on Gato offered by the black market.

All you could do was sigh—Kakuzu may be greedy, but he's just too honest. Too... professional.

He could've simply killed Gato and taken the entire empire—worth far more than any bounty—but instead chose to chase a fraction of the reward.

No wonder Konan has 600 billion explosive tags.

...

You began considering recruiting Kakuzu.

If you could poach him from Akatsuki, Gato's business empire would be unstoppable across the shinobi continent.

As for his obsession with money? You could easily have Gato pay him a monthly salary of one billion.

Sure beats him chasing Asuma for pocket change, doesn't it?

Your only concern was Akatsuki's potential response.

However, truthfully speaking, your interests don't directly conflict with Nagato's. In fact, there's room for negotiation—and even cooperation.

If you two joined forces, not only could Akatsuki collect Tailed Beasts more efficiently, but you could also use Nagato's power to dig out and eliminate the currently hidden Black Zetsu and Obito.

So, after the interrogation, you released Kakuzu—and had him deliver a message to Akatsuki's leader.

After that event, those daring enough to place bounties on Gato in the black market noticeably dwindled.

...

Instead, it was Gato who became enraged by the assassination attempt.

He retaliated fiercely, placing sky-high bounties on his business rivals through the black market.

And those bounties immediately caught Kakuzu's attention.

After taking the jobs, Kakuzu went on a rampage—high-profile merchants across the Five Great Nations began dying one after another. Even noble elites who thought themselves untouchable weren't spared from his relentless pursuit.

Riding that wave of terror, Gato's influence skyrocketed.

In just one year, he solidified his position as the richest man in the shinobi world!

...

〖Year Three〗

After completing the ocean-spanning bridge, Tazuna began recruiting craftsmen to construct foundational infrastructure across the Land of Waves. Taking inspiration from the Land of Hot Water, they began developing it into a tourist city.

Having overseen such large-scale construction projects, and with Gato's backing, Tazuna expanded his construction company across the entire shinobi world.

You took advantage of this opportunity and embedded the organization's mask insignia into the company's logo. From then on, wherever the company built—even inside the great shinobi villages—you could come and go freely!

The war-torn and politically unstable Land of Water—along with Kirigakure—soon brought in Tazuna's construction company.

And just like that, hiding behind the company's harmless logo, you silently slipped right into Kirigakure's barrier unnoticed.
