Chapter 132 - Awkward Meeting

"A Takigakure Ninja received a mission to assassinate a Konoha Ninja. During the assassination, this Takigakure Ninja threw a Shuriken from 800 li away."

"Question: If the Shuriken travels at a constant speed of 100m/s, how many minutes will it take for the Shuriken to hit the target? (1 li = 500m)"

"Hiss—"

After seeing the question clearly, Konan couldn't help but gasp.

Which Ninja would throw a Kunai from such a distance?

Wave Country truly produces a lot of talented people.

Can a Shuriken from 800 li away really still cause damage?

And what does this strange symbol mean?

Not understanding the first question, Konan looked at the second question.

"A Ninja was patrolling at sea when they were accidentally cut in the Aorta by a Pirate's Kunai, and had already lost 2000ml of blood by the time they were sent to the Hospital."

"It is known that an adult Ninja has a total of ml of blood, and is currently losing blood at a rate of 100ml/s, while the Hospital is transfusing blood at a rate of 300ml/s."

"Question: How many seconds will it take to replenish the injured Ninja's blood?"

'?'

Konan's brain short-circuited briefly.

'What is this?'

'Why transfuse blood while still bleeding? Can't they stop the bleeding first?'

Although she still didn't understand those strange symbols, she could understand bleeding and blood transfusions.

Could it be that the medical conditions in Wave Country are too backward, so they can't stop the bleeding?

"Hey! Do you know how to do it?"

Uchiha Izumi saw that Konan was looking at it seriously, and couldn't help but ask.

Konan didn't expect Uchiha Izumi to suddenly ask her a question, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After hesitating for a long time, she could only shake her head with an awkward expression.

It's a bit embarrassing, she's already a Ninja who has experienced two Shinobi World Wars.

She didn't expect that she couldn't even understand the questions for children.

"I don't really understand the meaning of these symbols."

But since she didn't understand, Konan directly pointed to several mathematical symbols in the book and asked.

"Ah, you mean these symbols? We only just learned them this morning."

When Uchiha Izumi saw where Konan was pointing, she knew what the other person's question was, and explained a few words.

"This is meters, this is meters per second, this is milliliters, this is milliliters per second, do you understand now?"

The question in front of her was not difficult for Uchiha Izumi, because the Teacher had already explained it this morning.

With her abilities, as long as she understood the principles, she could easily extrapolate and apply them. What truly baffled her were these two questions, which seemed somewhat unconventional.

"I understand."

Konan nodded knowingly, then continued to study the questions intently.

This time, she encountered no obstacles. She realized that the essence of both questions was simple calculation.

Even in Naruto's previous world, this was only elementary school math. For these more mentally agile ninja, it wasn't difficult to learn.

Konan simply calculated in her mind for a moment and arrived at the answers.

Although she hadn't systematically studied mathematics or similar subjects, she had strong logical thinking skills from being a ninja for so many years.

Making Exploding Tags was much more difficult than this.

Konan casually picked up a pen and wrote the answers on a blank piece of paper. Uchiha Izumi saw that they matched her own answers and couldn't help but feel surprised.

She had previously thought that Konan was also illiterate. She often heard Naruto say that ninety percent of the Shinobi World was illiterate.

But it didn't matter to her. Because she was just starting to learn math, the teacher had only assigned two homework problems, and now they were all finished.

She took out the textbook issued by the school and began to recite the contents.

Konan watched with great interest from the side, also silently reciting.

...

The Wave Country Finance Department building.

Kakuzu had just recalculated the shipping company's revenue for the month, as well as the various domestic expenditures, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Gato's shipping company had hundreds of large cargo ships. Only a few were responsible for helping Wave Country transport supplies, while the others were constantly creating wealth outside.

Whether it was transportation, leasing, or maritime traffic, the income from each ship was a huge number that an ordinary person couldn't even imagine.

In particular, many important figures or wealthy merchants from the Five Great Nations liked to hold strange banquets on the ships. They had plenty of money, and Kakuzu ruthlessly fleeced them.

After deducting the current wage expenses for ninja and workers in Wave Country, as well as the costs of various building materials and the expenses of running the school, the shipping company's net profit was still considerable.

The Wave Country treasury was becoming more abundant.

Looking at the numbers on the paper, Kakuzu felt a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Kakuzu was indulging in his small happiness, a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."

Kakuzu's tone was somewhat elated, not caring that someone was interrupting his happy moment.

A staff member walked in with an information form. He was used to Kakuzu's infatuated appearance. Their Finance Minister seemed to particularly like money, but also didn't seem to care whether the money was his.

"Minister, a supplier of Exploding Tags came today, wanting to sell Exploding Tags in Wave Country."

"Exploding Tags?"

Kakuzu's expression returned to normal as he lowered his head, considering the current demand for Exploding Tags in Wave Country.

The most direct effect of Exploding Tags is to enhance a Ninja's combat ability; the power of a single Exploding Tag is enough to kill a Ninja.

And currently, those cargo ships that are constantly transporting goods outside need combat power the most. There have been incidents of Pirates looting cargo ships before, which made Kakuzu so angry that he cleaned up all the large Pirate groups on nearby shipping lanes.

However, there are still many who slipped through the net, acting in small groups, making it difficult for him to completely eliminate them. Even if Ninjas are hired to protect the cargo ships each time, most of the Ninjas are of mixed quality, and losses still easily occur.

If each cargo ship is equipped with enough Exploding Tags, perhaps this part of the loss can be reduced.

Moreover, according to the Leader's plan, a large number of Exploding Tags will definitely be needed in the future.

This business is worth discussing.

Kakuzu had some thoughts in his mind and asked, "Where is the person now?"

"In the reception room over at the Konoha Military Police Force."

"Then let's go take a look."

Kakuzu got up, took the information sheet handed over by the other party, looked at the unfamiliar name on it, and walked outside.

But when he arrived, he was a little dumbfounded.

"D-Deputy Leader?!"
