Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Hmph. As expected, even if I were to work in a factory... I, Madara Uchiha, would have no equal. Hashirama, if you were here too, perhaps you could put me to the test.

Madara Uchiha felt a surge of pride. He loved how naive these people were, and he could go even faster!

Time flies, and soon it's dinner time...

As is customary, the group leaders tallied the afternoon's work progress.

"This combination..."

"qualified.."

"good.."

"You were almost there! I'll consider this a pass this time, and make up the difference tonight!"

"excellent?"

Looking at the production line run by Uchiha Madara, and at the results of an afternoon's work, the team leader was somewhat doubtful of his own eyes.

Generally speaking, such an excellent evaluation is very difficult to obtain; it requires working non-stop for an entire afternoon to have a chance of achieving it, which is an extremely difficult thing.

Everyone gets tired; hands and feet ache, and physical strength is depleted. I've heard that only groups of workers with chakra receive excellent ratings.

Chapter 130 Uchiha Nan: Aspiring to become a public intellectual in the ninja world!

"Sir, were you... a ninja before?"

The team leader tentatively asked Uchiha Madara, "An elderly person like him couldn't possibly have such efficiency. Only ninjas with chakra could do something like that."

"Ah."

Madara Uchiha, basking in the gazes of the crowd, casually admitted it.

"No wonder."

The team leader nodded. No wonder. In an instant, the workers in the same team as Uchiha Madara couldn't hide their joy. A big shot had been parachuted into the team to boost performance, so their salaries were sure to increase this month!

The workers in the outstanding evaluation team even get different food than ordinary workers. They get to eat meat!

"Sir, is there still a chance for me to switch to your team now?"

"Me too, I'm also very efficient at my work and won't hold you back, sir!"

"Get lost! These are all assigned groups of old men, ignore them and leave! Today, to celebrate the old men's first day at work, let's chip in and buy some wine and meat!"

Everyone wants to latch onto a powerful figure, and everyone witnessed the impressive performance of Uchiha Madara, this newly recruited factory worker, in just one afternoon. He single-handedly raised a group from a passable rating to an excellent one. That's all money!

"Let's go then."

A slight smile appeared on Madara Uchiha's lips. He was indeed a powerhouse in every field!

Madara Uchiha was thriving at the factory, while Black Zetsu, who was watching from the corner, gritted his teeth in anger. If it weren't for the immense effort Black Zetsu had poured into Madara Uchiha, he would have given up on this madman.

Madara Uchiha, you betrayed the Konoha you founded, fought a life-or-death battle with Hashirama Senju, went through countless hardships to obtain Hashirama's cells, stole Ashura's chakra, and spent ten years trying to awaken the Rinnegan.

After doing so much, and returning to Konoha, he came to a place like this and sold his labor so cheaply.

Was Madara Uchiha really insane?

Hei didn't understand, but was greatly shocked!

Perhaps I really need to choose a new executor for the Eye of the Moon.

Black Zetsu was conflicted. He felt that he had ruined his main character, Madara Uchiha. He had to find a way to create a new one. But when exactly did he ruin his main character?

Days passed slowly. Uchiha Nan slacked off at work every day, and would occasionally take time to instruct Jiraiya on his summoning techniques, sending a clone to spar with Orochimaru, while his main body sparred with Tsunade.

In between, they also took the time to see off the Sunagakure delegation led by the pretty widow Chiyo as they left Konoha. These days, Chiyo and Nara Shikato had already discussed the alliance agreement between Sunagakure and Konoha, and it would be inappropriate for them to stay in Konoha any longer.

Konoha's only advantage is its beautiful environment; you can see blue skies, white clouds, and green trees. They can also enjoy delicious food they've never had in Sunagakure, and have unlimited fresh water 24/7. Aside from that, there's nothing else in Konoha that the Sunagakure delegation would find worth staying for. They weren't envious at all.

"I hope that one day Sunagakure can be as prosperous as Konoha."

As Chiyo gazed upon the bustling scene of Konoha, she made a wish in her heart. Despite her reluctance, Sunagakure was their home, and no matter how wonderful it was here, it had nothing to do with them.

"Lord Naruto... such an article..."

"Human Rights Report of the Hidden Mist Bloodline Family"

"Kill that Kaguya clansman"

"Twenty years as a slave"

"The Story of Mizuto's First Love!"

Why does Mizuto hate bloodline clans?

"."

Nara Shikamaru looked at the magazines and newspapers that Uchiha Nan had handed him, sweat beading on his forehead. The internal divisions within Kirigakure, the discord between the Mizukage and the Kirigakure bloodline clans—this kind of information came from Kirigakure almost daily.

Now that Uchiha Nan has actually written such an article, isn't this just putting the Third Mizukage on the grill again?

"It's no big deal. I'm just truthfully writing down everything that Mizuto did to the bloodline clan."

Uchiha Nan didn't care at all. In order to speed up his own strength improvement, he tried to make the most of even ordinary lottery chances. His bloodline godfather gave him sixty lottery chances at once, and he had to make the most of them.

They need to continue stirring up conflict between the bloodline clans and Mizuto. Mizuto definitely has some skills; even as a commoner ninja, he was able to directly suppress the bloodline clans and become the Mizukage. Mizuto was at his weakest before becoming the Mizukage, but now that he has, Uchiha Nan doesn't think the Kirigakure bloodline clans can overthrow Mizuto's rule.

When the two sides start fighting, Konoha will be able to take advantage of the situation.

They managed to poach one ninja clan, which is a testament to their ninja clan's abilities!

As for how the Third Mizukage would feel after reading these magazines and newspapers, that's not something Uchiha Nan needs to worry about. Mizuto can't possibly start a war with Konoha over this, can he? He's not even secure his position as Mizukage right now. If he wants to start a war, he should first deal with the clans in the village that are always trying to rebel.

"Lord Hokage, are you sure Mizuto harbors resentment because his first love was stolen by a member of the Hozuki clan?"

"Ahem, this is for sales."

"Intelligence warfare is quite expensive. These kinds of short stories are quite appealing, so we can sell them along the way!"

"A mix of true and false information sources is what makes people so bewildered."

Uchiha Nan chuckled. Stories that are half-true and half-false are the most attractive. He had only made a little artistic embellishment. Kirigakure is a rather closed-off village, so he would just treat it as a little bit of entertainment and gossip for them.

"What about those pornographic magazines, adult films, and videotapes?"

"Sell it as a side business, sell it as a side business. You know, Konoha has shares in these adult film companies, with technology as equity. Don't underestimate it. In terms of making money and profit margin, there aren't many industries Konoha is involved in that can surpass it."

Uchiha Nanshou blushed. He had already put all of these at the very bottom. But eroticism is the source of human motivation!

Consider it a benefit I'm giving to the villagers of Kirigakure!

"Alright, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shika was speechless. The dividends from the adult entertainment industry last year were already astronomical. The advent of color films had propelled the industry onto a rocket-like trajectory. Many single men in the ninja world would skip a couple of meals to buy the newly released adult films.

Jiraiya's royalties from those lowbrow, borderline novels were enough to keep him living a life of luxury, let alone the profits from his real-life, hardcore adult films... Wow, that's terrifying... And the movies in this world aren't even censored.

"The intelligence department does more than just collect intelligence; they also have to write long articles to sow discord within the ninja village and exacerbate their internal conflicts. They are all very poor now, and as the saying goes, poverty makes life miserable for couples. Uneven distribution of resources makes it easy to stir up their emotions. Sometimes, you don't even need to fabricate stories; just tell the truth."

"I've learned something. I've learned something." Nara Shikahara nodded repeatedly. He always learned new things from Uchiha Nan. With these techniques in place, it would be difficult for the other ninja villages to regain their strength.

"Of course... intensifying conflicts and provoking confrontation are the most basic things. The most important thing is to elevate oneself, that is, Konoha. Each ninja village has different targets for small essays, such as Sunagakure."

Do you know how to write it?

Uchiha Nan felt that Nara Shikato's constant nodding reminded him of how he used to daydream in class for a long time, then pretend to nod as if he understood.

"Uh, I don't know."

Nara Shikato shook his head. The Hokage's thinking was still too unconventional. In the past, ninjas used kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu in battle, and occasionally resorted to sneak attacks, poisoning, and kidnapping.

Uchiha Nan's despicable, cough-cough, genius-level methods were something these ninjas who only knew how to kill had never used before.

"Sunagakure is currently suffering from material scarcity, hunger, and poverty; it's easy to fabricate a short story about Konoha based on that." "Konoha is a wealthy, kind, and loving ninja village."

"I have a friend who came back from Konoha. In Konoha, if children argue with their parents and run away from home, they can go to any shop or restaurant and get a delicious meal, which even includes cake, sushi, and ice cream."

"It is because the villagers of Konoha are so loving, kind, and uphold the Will of Fire of the Third Hokage that they can live such a happy life."

"."

"My friend who came back from Konoha also said that in order to make sure every villager could afford to eat, Konoha launched a rice ball set meal where you can eat as many rice balls as you want for just ten ryo."

"This kind of short story can be made up easily, but it's missing something. I remember, I need to reflect on the ending."

"What a united, loving, harmonious, and kind ninja village this is! Konoha's strength is not without reason. Where exactly does our Sunagakure fall short? We can't help but reflect on this."

"This is just right."

Uchiha Nan read two modified versions of a certain Lin's short story with great emotion. In his previous life, this Lin's short story was widely circulated among primary and secondary schools in Rabbit Country.

One-dollar fried chicken, drinkable toilet water, and squid are just some of the little stories that can continue to shine in the ninja world.

"Lord Hokage, this...it's all fake..."

Nara Shika was stunned by Uchiha Nan's impromptu story; anyone who had spent even a day in Konoha would never believe the story Uchiha Nan told.

"Don't worry about whether it's real or fake, just make it up like this. Then, spend some money in Sunagakure to have someone spread the word about how great Konoha is, and how we and Sunagakure are allies. You should have already taken care of the delegation that came to Konoha this time. You've given them all the red envelopes they were supposed to give. They've seen how prosperous Konoha is."

"What's wrong with exaggerating a little in the advertising?"

Uchiha Nan said with a hint of disappointment.

"Understood, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikamaru's perspective broadened once again, and he nodded repeatedly to Uchiha Nan, realizing that he was truly far from reaching the level of the Hokage.

“I’m afraid you ninjas aren’t very good at making up stories. You should find some writers in the Land of Fire. They should be professionals. Shika Yuan, you can be in charge of printing and managing the channels within Sunagakure to distribute these stories.”

Uchiha Nan wasn't too confident in Nara Shikato's ability to make up stories. Making up stories to fool people was a field that the literary people of the Land of Fire were good at, and it was too much to ask the ninjas to cross over and take on this job.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

Nara Shikahara nodded. Writing articles and fabricating short stories is indeed not something ninjas are good at. It's better to just outsource it. Anyway, Konoha isn't short of money right now.

"You'll need to put in a lot of effort to send the engineering team, the material transport team, and the factory facilities to Sunagakure. The initial investment won't be small. Remember to bring Kakuzu along; he understands cost-saving and will help you save where you can and spend where you can."

Uchiha Nan gave Nara Shikato a series of instructions. Although the Konoha clan was large and made more money every day, this time the subsidy was for an entire large ninja village. The huge amount of money saved from the corners and corners would be a very large sum.

"I will try to persuade Kakuzu."

Nara Shikagawa gave a wry smile. Kakuzu was 100% opposed to the trade between Konoha and Sunagakure. Even if Nara Shikagawa told Uchiha Nan about his plan, it wouldn't make a difference. A losing deal is a losing deal. Who can predict the future?

In the ninja world, things often turn out badly, like throwing good money after bad. It's better to keep your money in your hands.
