Chapter 061: A Promise Is Worth a Thousand Gold

And Wang Bo was rich. If Konoha dared to provoke him, Wang Bo, in his anger, could completely gather a large number of ninjas to attack Konoha.

Generous rewards always bring forth brave men—this is an unshakable truth since ancient times.

As long as he had money, there were plenty of ninjas willing to fight for Wang Bo.

Even within Konoha, there were many ninjas willing to betray the village and be bought off by Wang Bo. Other ninja villages were also willing to accept Wang Bo's employment and attack Konoha's ninjas.

No matter how powerful Konoha was, it could not be the opponent of the entire ninja world.

So unless the people of Konoha had gone mad, they would not attack Wang Bo, after all, reason was not on their side.

On the other hand, after Asuma Sarutobi and Kakashi Hatake took Danzo Shimura away, this matter was put to rest. As for what punishment Danzo Shimura would receive after returning, Wang Bo did not care.

This matter had nothing to do with him.

Both sides tacitly agreed not to bring up the matter again, and life seemed to return to calm.

Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, another two years had gone by.

Wang Bo had been in this world for five years. By this year, he had spread his hotpot restaurant business to every major and minor country in the ninja world.

Wherever there were people, there was Wang Bo's hotpot restaurant.

Besides the hotpot restaurant, Wang Bo also established another company... Dongfeng Express.

The reason was that after Wang Bo trained the kids around him, more and more of them had broken through to become genin, but most had never experienced actual combat; they were flowers in a greenhouse.

So Wang Bo had a brainwave and founded Dongfeng Express.

His goal was to let the kids travel far and wide, gaining combat experience on one hand, and helping him search for the whereabouts of Silver Superman on the other.

At first, Dongfeng Express's scope was the Land of Fire, but soon it expanded to other countries.

Now, Dongfeng Express's reach had spread to most areas of the ninja world.

Initially, other ninja villages were highly vigilant about Dongfeng Express, after all, escort missions were part of ninjas' daily tasks, and Dongfeng Express's actions clearly crossed a line.

They were stealing their business.

This move naturally incurred the hostility of ninjas.

But they soon discovered that Dongfeng Express did not escort valuable items, only small things like snacks,小吃, clothes, toys, and so on.

And these tasks, ninjas simply disdained to do.

So they quickly relaxed their vigilance and stopped being hostile to Dongfeng Express, since it could not affect their business.

Thus, Wang Bo's Dongfeng Express developed very rapidly, bringing in another huge wave of income.

Although the items he delivered were small, the volume was huge.

After all, Wang Bo understood the prospects of a courier company better than anyone.

Relying on Dongfeng Express, Wang Bo could transport goods from the Land of Fire to the Land of Wind for sale, and also ship specialties from the Land of Wind to the Land of Lightning for trade.

Just this price difference alone was enough to make Wang Bo a fortune.

Not to mention that he now controlled other businesses as well, doing excellently.

By now, he could be called the richest man in the ninja world.

His informants were spread across every corner of the ninja world, but even so, he still had not found any trace of Silver Superman.

Logically, after five years, Silver Superman should be five years old, old enough to start causing trouble.

Kakashi Hatake became a genin at the age of five.

If Silver Superman became a Kage-level powerhouse at five, Wang Bo would not be surprised.

This was Silver Superman, after all; even a sliver of consciousness was extraordinary, more than capable of beating the natives of this world.

Take Wang Bo himself, for example. He was also a sliver of his original body's consciousness. In these five years, he had not only become the richest man in the ninja world but had also greatly improved his strength.

Now, his chakra had surpassed that of Kage-level powerhouses. If he absorbed natural energy to form Sage Chakra, his strength could reach an even higher level.

Even if the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were resurrected, he might not be able to defeat Wang Bo.

It could be said that Wang Bo's strength was just that awesome.

However, he had not yet reached the Six Paths level. But that did not mean Wang Bo could not enter the Six Paths level; given a few more years, Wang Bo could easily step into the Six Paths level.

By then, even if Kaguya Otsutsuki broke free from the moon, she might not be able to defeat Wang Bo.

From this, one could see Wang Bo's strength.

Putting himself in others' shoes, Wang Bo felt that since he was already so powerful, he did not believe Silver Superman would be inferior. So Wang Bo was very vigilant—what was Silver Superman up to?

Why had he not caused trouble until now? Faced with this twisted world, could he really remain indifferent?

Impossible.

Wang Bo instinctively rejected this idea. Who was he? He was Clark Kent, he was Silver Superman, a true saint.

So Wang Bo believed that Silver Superman would surely act to correct this twisted world.

But why had Silver Superman not acted yet? Had something gone wrong, or was he holding back, planning something earth-shattering?

Wang Bo thought for a long time and felt it was likely the latter.

Just as Wang Bo was pondering when Silver Superman would make his move, the now-grown Haku knocked on Wang Bo's office door, walked in, and said with his head lowered, "Sir."

Wang Bo adjusted his thoughts, looked up at this androgynous beauty—Haku had indeed become more and more beautiful over the years—and said, "What's the matter, Haku?"

Haku said slowly, "A message has come from Konoha."

"What message?" Wang Bo asked.

"A few days ago, the Uchiha clan of Konoha was wiped out, with only a child named Sasuke Uchiha surviving."

Hearing this news, Wang Bo let out an "Oh," and said, "So it's about that."

Haku was taken aback. Wang Bo's reaction was different from what he had imagined, so he couldn't help asking, "Did you already know about this, sir?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Sort of." He had known about the Uchiha clan's annihilation long ago, since he had seen the plot.

The great clan that once stood alongside the Senju clan had been wiped out like this. He believed Hiruzen Sarutobi must be laughing heartily now—no, that wasn't right; he should be wearing an extremely sorrowful expression.

No matter how happy he was inside, he would not show it on his face. After all, he was the Hokage.

And after the Uchiha massacre, his control over Konoha had reached a new level. Coupled with Danzo Shimura's grave mistake, he should now be able to have the final say.
