However, for Ruri, this matter has not yet reached its conclusion.
Ignoring the compensation from the Hokage, Ruri would seek justice in her own way. Hakushi had already anticipated this.
What she wanted from the start was not compensation.
A great person once said that when a thought is not clear, one must find ways to make it clear.
And the only way to clear Ruri’s mind was not the Hokage’s apology and compensation but revenge on Root.
Sotis, the obsession of a power believer is truly terrifying.
"There’s no guarantee that similar things won’t happen again. Misleading intelligence during missions is also why we need to establish our own organization. Whether it’s gathering intelligence or doing other things, it will be very convenient. Even deploying informants in the Ninja Realm and secretly eliminating Root operatives on missions. You’d be very interested in that, wouldn’t you?"
In the eyes of both Hakushi and Ruri, Root Ninjas were no longer comrades.
They were enemies.
Coupled with the biased actions of the Hokage, it was truly unconvincing.
As expected, Ruri beca interested in this.
She wasn’t too keen on knowing Hakushi’s motives, but she was very motivated about taking revenge on Root.
"One more thing, your aunt and uncle, who are constantly traveling for business, always hire other ninjas, or samurai... Though they are reputable rcenaries, in tis of true crisis, these people are unreliable. We can personally provide them with quality and reliable protection personnel to prevent any accidents."
Ruri nodded again, agreeing with this point.
Her parents, Uchiha Sosuke and Uchiha Miyoko, indeed had this problem around them.
Hakushi discussed this with Ruri entirely because he trusted her.
Once trust is established, many problems can be easily solved.
The most crucial point is — she is very wealthy.
Lately, Hakushi had managed to scrape by, completing more than ten high-difficulty tasks, but the total remuneration was only a little over a million ryo.
Trying to establish an organization of sufficient scale to provide research services with such a small amount of money would barely create a ripple.
Not to ntion the substantial funds needed for living expenses and territory expansion.
Upon hearing Hakushi say a lot in front of her, Ruri casually responded:
"Just say it, how much do you need?"
Hakushi coughed and said, "I’m not too familiar with this aspect, but I think for the initial developnt, at least a few billion ryo is required. Therefore, I think it’s better to discuss it with your aunt and uncle first."
"No need, I can decide on this myself. I have several mines in the Land of Tea under my na, which can be sold for so money."
Hearing this, Hakushi didn’t know how to respond.
"Wait, mines and such, why have I never heard you ntion them before?"
Realizing, Hakushi quickly asked the question.
"It’s not sothing worth bragging about. So, don’t worry about financial issues. Besides, Konoha’s annual military budget exceeds this amount. To establish a comprehensive organization for intelligence, research, and even training ard personnel, tens of billions in funds are necessary."
Although the idea for the organization was Hakushi’s, he suddenly felt that Ruri was much more professional in terms of organization building.
"However, have you thought about where to establish the organization?"
Ruri asked this question.
The organization’s base definitely cannot be established within the Five Great Nations, as these countries represent strong authority and would not allow uncontrollable forces to exist outside of their control.
Once established in one of these five countries, it would surely face a destructive blow.
Therefore, it can only start from a small country.
"Land of Demons and Land of Iron... which one do you think is better?"
"Neutral countries?"
The Land of Demons and Land of Iron are not considered major countries; there are only five major countries in the Ninja Realm.
But not all small countries are classified as neutral countries.
For example, the Land of Rain, Land of Rivers, Land of Grass, or the Land of Whirlpools that was destroyed a few years ago... though they are small countries, there is always the danger of being destroyed by major countries at any ti.
Therefore, among the many small countries, the standout Land of Demons and Land of Iron appear particularly special.
Especially the Land of Demons.
This is a country without a Daimyo.
The highest ruler of the country is not a Daimyo but an existence called a ’Witch’.
The country believes in the Witch and possesses a certain mysticism style.
Ruri also heard that the ruler of the Land of Demons – the Witch, has extrely special powers, said to foresee the future.
Whether this is true or not, there is no unified conclusion.
Anyway, the Land of Demons is indeed the most special country in the Ninja Realm.
Its ruling mode is different from most countries in the Ninja Realm.
"Yes, a neutral country can provide good protective identity, and won’t be affected by war."
"The Land of Demons then."
Ruri said.
Hakushi looked at her, wanting to hear her reason.
In fact, both the Land of Iron and the Land of Demons are similar, with proximity principles, the Land of Iron would be more suitable.
"My parents’ main workplace is there. Due to business relations, they have so connections with the powers in the Land of Demons, and can appropriately provide so convenience."
