Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 225 It's reasonable for transportation vehicles to consume coal.

After hearing the name that Yu Nu Zhicheng had chosen, the group was speechless.

Such a powerful biological weapon, yet the name it has is so casual and ordinary. It shows how careless its owner is about his creation.

"Since you have so many, why not give me one?" Kakuzu smiled as he took the summoning scroll, treasuring it dearly. To this day, he still didn't have a suitable summoning beast.

Of course, when he asked for the subway centipede, he didn't actually intend to use it as part of the subway. It was a centipede that was nearly a kilometer long, which would make it quite impressive on the battlefield.

"Do you own a coal mine?" Yu Nu Zhicheng asked, seeing through his meaning.

Kakuzu choked instantly. He had been digging in the Land of Waterfalls for so long and had built hundreds of underground palaces of all sizes, but he had never actually found any coal underground.

"Don't be fooled by its energy-efficient operation underground; that's due to inertia, its most energy-efficient state. But once combat begins, it can handle nearly a hundred tons per hour!"

"It consumes 100 tons of coal in one go, how much money would that cost!" Kakuzu suddenly felt that the summoning beast he had just acquired was no longer appealing. This wasn't a summoning beast; it was a money-devouring beast!

The price of one ton of coal is 20,000 taels now, so 100 tons of coal would cost 2 million taels. If he had that kind of money, wouldn't it be better for him to sell it himself?

Furthermore, he only looks big; his stomach is empty. If he were to encounter a Kage-level ninjutsu expert, he would be severely injured and practically incurable.

He'd be heartbroken if it got damaged, so he might as well just take matters into his own hands.

"Forget it then, I guess I'll just stick to being a driver."

"Then Line 1 will be yours to use. Kakuzu, you take Line 1 on a tour around the country, let him remember every underground palace station, and let the people living in the underground palace see the world. As for the ticket price, you can set it yourself."

"As for the flying dragonfly and the beetle bus... let's promote them nationwide after this war is over."

As soon as Aburame Shicheng finished speaking, his entire figure vanished into nothingness. It turned out that the one who came to deliver the psychic scroll was just a shadow clone.

As for the main body, it had already led the Knights to the Land of Snow.

As for the useless second prince he brought back, he was mainly left to handle domestic affairs. Although Alphonse was not very capable, he was still a prince of a country and had read many books. He might not be good at other things, but he was good at managing logistics.

After Aburame Shisei left, Kakuzu unfolded the séance scroll and smiled at Naoto, saying, "How about we sign our names first, one for each of us? I think Line 1 is good, it suits me well, and you can have Line 2."

As he spoke, he extended his tentacle, dripped a drop of blood, and signed his name on it.

Soon, he established contact with Line 1, and then, just like You Nv Zhicheng, he knocked on the door of Line 1.

As expected, Line 1 understood the signal, gradually slowed down, and finally came to a stop.

"Strange, why didn't it just stop?" Kakuzu asked curiously.

Just then, a simple, honest voice replied, "Because I'm big and have inertia, I can brake suddenly, but that would wear down my body. Recovery requires energy, 100 tons of coal."

Hearing the echo coming from inside the carriage, the group was quite surprised, with Kakuzu exclaiming in astonishment, "You can actually talk!"

"Only a fool wouldn't be able to talk. I'm a high-level summoning beast, after all!"

"Then why didn't you say anything before?"

"I'm too tired to talk. I've only eaten one ton of coal since the beginning. Talking requires coal. If you give me 100 tons of coal right now, I can chat with you all day."

Kakuzu immediately shut up, afraid that if he said any more, he would be entangled with him. Talking for a day is worth 100 tons of coal. 100 tons of coal is worth 2 million taels. He was afraid that if he said a few more words, the subway centipede would ask him for coal.

"Pricing, we must set a very high price. A single ticket should cost at least 20000 taels. If you want to transport goods, the price will be calculated separately. Anyway, those big merchants have plenty of money. Hehe, they've never seen anything like this before, have they?"

Kakuzu was eager to fight; his eyes no longer held any desire for combat power, but were filled with the gleam of money.

Just then, Kakuzu suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh dear, I forgot."

"I was also thinking of asking Aburame Shicheng how to cultivate immortal techniques. After all, I have already achieved the unity of the five elements and my strength has reached its limit."

At this moment, Naoto, who was standing to the side, also completed his contract with Line 2. Even the Second Prince, who was with them, did not get to eat meat, but he did get to drink soup.

However, the Regel Stone embedded in his body only provides him with chakra at the Jonin level, so he can only summon a beetle-like creature at most.

However, the beetle bus's combat power should not be underestimated; it is at least at the Jonin level. Moreover, beetles can actually fly, so if they can't win, they can take people with them and run away.

Naoto leaned closer and asked, "Lord Kakuzu, do you want to cultivate immortality techniques?"

He turned and replied, "What? Don't you want to?"

"Of course I want to, but my direction is different from yours. Although I am also skilled in the Five Elements Ninjutsu, my essence is still to develop in the direction of physical evolution. The function of the condensed dew is also to enhance physical fitness, so in essence, I should develop in the direction of the Sun Release Sage Technique."

Naoto replied thoughtfully, "But right now, Strategist Shiraki has only developed a wind-attribute dragonfly. I wonder when the yang-attribute chakra sage insect will be released."

"However, if you want to cultivate immortal arts, you don't need to go to Strategist Bai Mu. Just go find Zi Ling and head to the Holy Land of Spirit Communication. Once you get there, Xiao Qing will teach you step by step. After all, it is now the second-in-command there."

"So you could have cultivated immortal arts all along? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"But you never mentioned your desire to learn magic before."

Kakuzu: "..."

So is this a question I asked or didn't mention?

Shouldn't the problem be that information isn't being shared between different departments within our organization?

Kakuzu initially wanted to go now, but upon closer reflection, he realized that with war imminent, he wouldn't learn anything even if he went.

After all, he had long heard that the immortal techniques of the Holy Land required at least several years, or even more than ten years, to master. Although he had no shortage of time, now was not the time.

Moreover, as far as he knew, only Little Green Insect in the Dragonfly Sanctuary could use immortal techniques, and the immortal techniques they practiced were one-on-one between humans and insects.

In other words, the speed of multiple people practicing immortal arts at the same time will be slowed down. These past few days, that little girl Zi Ling has often not shown up and has not revealed anything about immortal arts to him, so it is very likely that she is practicing immortal arts.
