Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 180: One Hundred Well-Known Facts About Uchiha Makoto That Senju Tobirama Carefully Inquired About!
The next morning.

Uchiha Makoto opened his eyes.

After being dazed for a dozen seconds, he reluctantly got out of bed.

In Uchiha Makoto's view, getting up early is always against human nature—human beings are supposed to have a daily task of finding 2000 calories of food and then just indulge in lust.

Why make things so complicated?

Why do people get up early?

Despite having these random thoughts running through his mind, Makoto Uchiha's actions didn't falter in the slightest—that's the responsibility of a Kage!
Makoto Uchiha quickly got dressed.

At the same time, he had already clearly recalled today's procedures in his mind.

Today is the big day for the official opening of Xiaoren Village Bank and the issuance of new currency.

As someone involved in film and television, he has to stand up for this matter no matter what!
And I must take full charge of hosting!

Uchiha Makoto plans to use all his personal assets to exchange for the new currency issued by Akatsuki Village according to the proportion stipulated by the village.

It's not just Makoto Uchiha who wants to do this.

All the major ninja clans in Akatsuki Village must do the same; this is their chance to demonstrate their loyalty to Akatsuki Village!
After all, if even the ninja clans that enjoy the most core interests in the village cannot fully support this matter, how could the wealthy merchants and nobles outside Akatsuki Village possibly agree with it!
With this feeling.

Instead of going to the Kage's office as usual, Makoto Uchiha headed to a street in the Akatsuki Village commercial center.

The Xiaoren Bank, not far away, is holding its grand opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, a long queue had formed on the street, stretching from one end of the street to the other, seemingly endless.

The crowd was buzzing with chatter.

They were all there to exchange for new currency.

As Uchiha Makoto walked down the street, his eye-catching light-and-shadow divine robe quickly attracted people's attention.

"Yes, Master Light and Shadow!"

"Master Light and Shadow."

"Lord Light and Shadow!"

As he walked, people kept greeting him, and his voices carried far and wide, causing the villagers of Xiaoren in line to turn around and look.

The already crowded streets became even more chaotic.

The ninja following behind Uchiha Makoto began their first mission of the day: maintaining order alongside the ninjas responsible for security.

"Everyone, supporting Xiaoren's new currency is the best way to show love for the village."

Makoto Uchiha greeted the villagers of Akatsuki with a smile, reciting promotional slogans as he did so.

What followed was a thunderous response.

"Loyalty"*n
Akatsuki Village was initially a purely military organization.

The ongoing publicity has played an extraordinary role.

Of course, Makoto Uchiha wasn't some kind of brainwashing master. Doing propaganda and reciting slogans were just icing on the cake. If we had to say what he did, it would be that Makoto Uchiha gave hope to the ninjas and the villagers of Akatsuki.

For the lower-ranking ninjas and villagers.

Akatsuki Village is already their home, a place they are willing to defend with their lives.

Ordinary people used to go months without a full meal, but now they can eat meat every few days.

In the past, low-ranking ninjas would suffer injuries or disabilities during missions, and they could only bear it silently alone. In some ways, dying on a mission was actually a good thing, ending it all. The most tragic situation was being bedridden for years, clinging to life but unable to die. There were indeed extremely poor ninjas who chose to commit suicide so as not to burden their families.

Fortunately, times have changed.

They joined Akatsuki Village.

In Akatsuki Village, even if someone is injured or disabled, the village will support them for life, including their families. Everyone is assigned a job in Akatsuki Village, and there are various subsidies during holidays.

This is one of the image-building projects that Xiaoren Village has been developing.

There are many more such cases.
Maintaining such a public image project would cost a lot of money, and the initial Xiaoren executives were all opposed to it.

Ordinary ninja villages, even large ones, would usually just offer a roughly equal amount of compensation for the injury and that would be the end of it.

After all, instead of spending resources to support these useless people, it's better to cultivate more promising new talents for the village.

It's not that they are heartless and cruel, but the ninja world has always been this cruel. When cruelty becomes the norm, any gentleness seems out of place—ninjas live a life of risking their lives!
But Makoto Uchiha insisted on doing it that way.

First, he's rich; second, he wants to rule the world!

"This is my savings over the years. Please exchange all the money for new currency and deposit it in the bank."

When Uchiha Makoto arrived at the counter, several dedicated service personnel were already waiting there.

"Yes, Master Light and Shadow."

"After calculation, the total is 38,749,217 taels!"

The service staff were taken aback after calculating.

The number could be 30 million taels, or it could be 38 million taels, but it is exactly 38,749,217 taels. Could this really be all of Lord Guangying's savings?
But the key issue is that this is far too little.

For an ordinary person like him, this is an astronomical sum, enough to ensure he can live a life of comfort and ease.

But the person in front of me is Lord Light and Shadow!
It should be at least over 100 million taels.

"Okay, thank you."

Uchiha Makoto smiled and put away the bankbook that was handed to him. Did he love money?

He always regarded money as dirt!

Moreover, Makoto Uchiha doesn't usually need to spend money on anything, as his villa was built with government funding.

To ensure the safety of the Light and Shadow's diet, the food was specially purchased by the Anbu ninjas and then delivered to Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku every day, so Uchiha Makoto didn't have to spend any money.

He basically shuttles between home and the office.

I really can't find anywhere I need to spend money!
Most importantly, the entire Akatsuki Village belongs to him. What does he need so much money for? Isn't the right to use it 24 hours a day enough?

This money was all saved up little by little from his salary as a cinematographer, and he's probably going to give it all to his son!

Several reporters carrying cameras were taking pictures incessantly.

Clearly, they were also shocked by Uchiha Makoto's entire fortune. More importantly, the Shadow Master actually dared to expose such a private matter as his family's wealth in public.

This is rare in the world!
Considering the current public opinion in the Land of Fire.

Among them, the quick-witted reporters already had a rough draft in mind to lavish praise on Uchiha Makoto!
Behind Uchiha Makoto were the clan leaders of the Akatsuki village.

Because of the executive order and the fact that Uchiha Makoto elevated it to a political level, they had to fully support Uchiha Makoto and exchange a large portion of their personal wealth for new currency.

The ninja clan chief dared not disobey Uchiha Makoto's orders.

They all looked troubled. Lord Guangying only had this much money on him, and their personal assets were... Guangying and I are of one mind. Guangying and I are playing mind games.
"Ahem, ahem, those who meet the standard of having ten million taels of silver can enter the VIP room, where they will be served by dedicated staff. You are all clan leaders of the ninja clan."

"So please stop blocking the way and obstructing the Akatsuki villagers behind you."

Uchiha Makoto spoke up at the opportune moment. He had been so focused on putting on a show that he had completely forgotten about the matter at hand. "It's good to be rich! Now that everyone's rich, they can contribute to Akatsuki Village!"
"Yes, Lord Light and Shadow."
The clan leaders breathed a sigh of relief and went into the VIP room. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki villagers formed a long queue, waiting anxiously.

Makoto Uchiha looked at the long queue.

Honestly.

He actually felt that the villagers of Xiaoren didn't need to queue up so early in the morning, as it not only caused traffic congestion but might also delay their own important business.

After all, Xiaoren Bank isn't just open for one day; it opens on time every day. People can wait until there are fewer people to support Xiaoren Village's new currency project.

But these words can only be kept to oneself.

He set an example by himself, which made the villagers of Xiaoren Village, who were already planning to support the new currency project, even more enthusiastic—we couldn't dampen their enthusiasm!
Makoto Uchiha did not linger there and returned to his office of light and shadow.

He still has a lot of things to do today.

All morning long.

Uchiha Makoto was working on the documents on his desk when he thought he should have a cup of tea and take a break.

He sensed a familiar chakra—it was Tobirama Senju!
The door to the Light and Shadow Office was kicked open roughly by Tobirama Senju.

"You bastard, if you kick down my door and break it, you'll have to pay me back!"

Uchiha Makoto immediately raised his dead fish eyes and said irritably, "If I had known, I would have blocked Senju Tobirama right there in the Light and Shadow Building. He dared to kick my door under the guise of being an envoy of Konoha. If he dares to kick my door today, what does he want to do tomorrow!"
"嘁~"

"What, is something wrong?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I look for a born evil Uchiha brat like you?"

"Then hurry up and tell me, don't delay my important business here."

"It's the Two-Tails. The ninjas of Konoha have found the Two-Tails' trail."

Tobirama Senju slammed the door shut again.

The loud noise made Uchiha Makoto's heart tremble. He had a sudden urge to take advantage of Tobirama Senju's presence in Akatsuki Village and beat him up.

However, this thought was quickly diverted by the information revealed by Tobirama Senju.

We've already heard news about Two-Tails so quickly!

"Go on."

"My older brother messaged me overnight, asking me to ask when you'd be free so we could go catch the Two-Tailed Fox together."

Tobirama Senju explained his purpose, his expression an extremely unpleasant, stern face.

There's a reason for his expression.

This morning, some scoundrel made a public display of his power, waking up Tobirama Senju, who was sleeping, with a shout of "Loyalty." Tobirama Senju was just as much of a drudge as Makoto Uchiha in Konoha. Makoto Uchiha was so busy because Akatsuki had a lot of things that the ninjas couldn't handle, while Tobirama Senju was busy doing experiments as a side job.

Therefore, for Tobirama Senju, this business trip to Akatsuki Village was a rare opportunity to relax.

Disturbing my peaceful sleep, that's really too much!
So Tobirama Senju had no choice but to get up and spend the entire morning wandering around Akatsuki Village to find out what was going on.

The long queue outside the Akatsuki Bank left Tobirama Senju in awe.

Wealthy merchants and nobles mingled among them as they entered the VIP room.

The scene was packed with people and incredibly lively.

Konoha couldn't possibly create such a grand spectacle.

What drove Tobirama Senju even more crazy was that the longer he stayed in Akatsuki Village, the more he could feel the vibrant life and flourishing of all things in Akatsuki Village.

And then there's Makoto Uchiha's popularity in Akatsuki Village. There are just too many people praising him.

Especially those street newspapers.

These are not legitimate newspapers. Although some of their content is quite interesting, the way they praise Uchiha Makoto is exceptionally exaggerated and downright outrageous!
"Makoto Uchiha's tears can cure cancer, but unfortunately he never cries."

"Ordinary people pray to the Sage of Six Paths, but the Sage of Six Paths prays to Makoto Uchiha!"

"Once, when Uchiha Makoto kicked a bad guy so hard that his foot traveled back in time faster than the speed of light, and he killed the bad guy's grandfather!"

"Uchiha Makoto once shot down a monster from the sky with his finger. He shouted 'bang,' and the monster fell down!"

"."

"—Most of the above rumors are true."

The rumors about Makoto Uchiha in those trashy newspapers are getting more and more outrageous.

However, Makoto Uchiha had many followers, and the ninja world itself possessed extraordinary powers. Moreover, most ordinary people were illiterate, so as the story spread, quite a few people actually believed in it.

But while others may not know what Makoto Uchiha is like, how could Tobirama Senju not know Makoto Uchiha?

Take this capture of the Tailed Beasts as an example.

Tobirama Senju felt from the bottom of his heart that his elder brother's invitation to Makoto Uchiha to capture the tailed beasts was unnecessary.

If the eldest brother and Madara Uchiha could fail to capture the Two-Tails together, what difference would it make if Makoto Uchiha were added to the mix?
It's just an extra burden when you're trying to escape!

Uchiha Makoto completely ignored Senju Tobirama's deadpan face, imagining the scene from that time in his mind.

"Ah, then I have to go along. This is a rare battle!"

"Two-Tails. I can't wait!"

He was somewhat gloating. The Two-Tails shouldn't have suffered so much in the original story, right? It should have been able to enjoy a mixed doubles fight between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

This is a treatment that even the Nine-Tails doesn't receive.

This is something the cat can brag about for the rest of its life. After all, when capturing the Nine-Tails, Hashirama Senju only used one hand, while the other 9,999 hands didn't even move, whereas Madara Uchiha only glared at the Nine-Tails.

Madara Uchiha > Nine-Tails, Hashirama Senju > Nine-Tails, and Madara Uchiha + Hashirama Senju > Two-Tails, which is equivalent to Two-Tails > Nine-Tails!

"Please inform Lord Hashirama for me. Let's do it at the end of the month. Kirigakure and Iwagakure should be arriving the day after tomorrow. Let's resolve this matter first."

"This should be soon."

"so be it"

Tobirama Senju nodded, and then he prepared to leave, but his temper was still raging.

He kicked the door open again!
"boom."

"Damn it, men, stop that inherently evil Senju Tobirama! Seal off the area! Open the sealing barrier too! This was specially made by the Uzumaki clan's sealing masters, specifically targeting space-time elements! I'm going to have a go with him!"

"What are you all standing there for? Come at me all at once!"

the next day.

A message spread throughout Akatsuki Village.

The Light and Shadow Building was blown up. The reason? Master Light and Shadow had a sudden whim and was experimenting with a new ninjutsu in his office.

Fortunately, only one person was injured.
