Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Brother Nan, stop joking."

"Who doesn't know that those few abandoned the Hokage and ran back alone? Who knows if the news they brought back is true or false?" Hyuga Takuma sneered, not taking Sarutobi Hiruzen seriously at all.

"I wonder if Brother Nan wants to improve?"

Hyuga Takuma's true intentions were now revealed; he should first explain his purpose.

"We're not saying we won't make progress, but there's nothing we should say about how things should be done."

"Don't think so, that's not true either. We say that anything is possible with human effort. We can do it, we can find a way."

"."

Uchiha Nan spoke without stating his position. He finally understood that Hyuga Takuma was here to gamble. He had always stood with the Senju faction, but now he wanted to switch sides.

I guess at first, he was thinking of speaking first and taking the initiative in the conversation, so I had to push him a little further.

OK OK! ! !

Hyuga Takuma was astonished. "A person can talk like that? Uchiha Nan, you were born to be a politician!"

This trip was worthwhile!

"The Senju clan has already produced two Hokage of Konoha. I think it's time for the Uchiha clan to take over."

"you!"

"Uchiha Nan is the Hokage of Konoha!"

"The Hokage who brings peace to Konoha!"

Takuma Hinata decided to stop beating around the bush and just say it directly.

That's more like it. Those who play politics have dirty minds. They just keep going in circles. Why can't they be more direct?

"You really think so?"

"Of course, brother, you're speaking from the bottom of your heart!"

Takuma Hyuga's face was full of sincerity. With the Uchiha clan possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan and the power of the Hyuga clan, he didn't know how he could lose.

"Then it's a pleasure to work together?"

Uchiha Nan finally smiled, extended his palm, and intended to form an alliance with the Hyuga clan. Hyuga Takuma had already taken the initiative to come to their door, so he couldn't possibly push the Hyuga away.

Taking the position of Hokage of Konoha is just the first step in a long journey; the real difficulties are yet to come.

We will eventually have to cooperate with the Hyuga clan.

"Pleasant to work with."

Hyuga Takuma grasped Uchiha Nan's hand and happily agreed, thus finalizing today's objective.

All that was left was the final small talk, and the two guys shamelessly started exchanging compliments.

"The greatest Third Hokage of the future!"

"The only choice to lead Konoha to prosperity."

"The most discerning Hyuga clan leader."

"."

Anyway, bragging is free, so just keep praising me. You praise me, I praise you, and you'll gain fame.

(In another world, Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the strongest Hokage, silently gave a thumbs up.)

In the end, Hyuga Takuma left Uchiha Kusunoki's house satisfied, and before leaving, he invited Uchiha Kusunoki to visit the Hyuga family when he had time.

After Hyuga Takuma left, Uchiha Nan headed towards the Uchiha Police Department. Today was his first day at work as the clan leader, and he couldn't be late.

By the way, he got promoted and became the head of the Uchiha Police Department!

Asking for a monthly ticket! ! !

Chapter 23 Learning to be a Clan Chief from Scratch

"Tomita, what are these people doing?"

Uchiha Nan had been promoted and naturally moved into Uchiha Tomita's former room, officially beginning his life as the clan leader.

"Clan leader, these people are the Uchiha's accountants."

Uchiha Tomita pointed to a row of accountants standing there. They were all professional accountants hired by the Uchiha clan and were all commoners from Konoha.

As for why none of these people are Uchiha, the reason is naturally that Uchiha are only good at killing people, and these tedious and complicated ledgers would give Uchiha a headache.

Uchiha Tomita gave a wink, and the accountants began to report on the clan's recent situation.

"Clan Chief, to date, the clan's weapons industry has been consistently in the red. In order to cope with the war, Konoha has accumulated debts of over 530 million ryo, which has been used to purchase shuriken, kunai, explosive tags, and so on produced by the clan."

"Clan Chief, the business performance of the family's shops is also not optimistic. Tenants on more than three floors have been in arrears for over six months, totaling 130 million taels of silver. Details are as follows."

"Chieftain, the compensation for the clan members who died in battle has been outstanding, and many people are now complaining about it."

"."

The four or five accountants in front of me were muttering to themselves, reading from their ledgers and reporting expenses.

The gist of his words was simple: send money!

Send me money quickly, the more the better!

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed. "You've just taken office and you're already pulling this stunt on me? I can't exactly say that the clan will go bankrupt under my watch."

"Stop talking. In short, how much cash flow does the family have left, and how long can it last?"

Uchiha Nan couldn't stand the tedious recounting anymore and said, "Just give me the result."

"About 150 million taels of silver, not counting the family martyrs' pension, it should last about a month."

hiss!

With so little, it can only last for a month.

"Tomita, has the family finances deteriorated to this extent?"

Uchiha Nan glanced at Uchiha Tomita; his finances had exploded the moment he took office, how was he supposed to manage?

"Clan leader, as you know, this great war has been going on for far too long. It's not just the Uchiha clan; it's the same for all the clans in Konoha."

Not only that, Konoha's ninjas haven't taken on any missions for a long time, as they've all been sent to the front lines, directly cutting off a large portion of Konoha's revenue.

It is through the continuous sacrifices and contributions of various ninja clans that Konoha is maintained.

grandma's!

"Where is the Daimyo? Where is the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?!"

"He didn't send the money?"

Uchiha Nan was a little exasperated. The ninjas were working themselves to the bone outside, but the daimyo wasn't willing to spend a single penny.

"The Daimyo gives Konoha 20 billion ryo annually, and this has been increased to 25 billion ryo in the last three years."

"but."

Uchiha Tomita didn't finish his sentence, but it was clear that he had already spent all his money. The cost of a single explosive tag was no less than 3000 ryo. In a small battle, who knows how many explosive tags could be used on the battlefield every day.

Countless kunai and shuriken flew wildly across the battlefield.

This doesn't even include rations, food, and medical supplies.

That's not fighting a war, that's burning money.

Burning money is slower than spending money on war.

It seems that Konoha is completely exhausted from fighting. If this continues, the village will collapse internally. No clan can withstand such a massive expenditure of money.

Not to mention the casualties in the clan; almost a generation has died. "Don't worry, clan leader. The daimyo and Tobirama Senju have reached an agreement, and a large sum of money will be allocated to rebuild Konoha."

We have no choice but to pay. If we don't bleed a little more, Konoha will start to consider finding a new daimyo who's willing to pay.

Throughout the nearly thousand-year history of the ninja world, there have been quite a few daimyo who weren't very bright-minded and didn't pay enough money, and were killed by their own ninjas.

Anyway, they're all working for the Land of Fire. If the daimyo dies, there's always his son or brother; they can always find someone to inherit the daimyo's mantle.

Seeing that Uchiha Nan looked like he was about to die, Uchiha Tomita still managed to give him a mouthful of chicken soup.

The newly appointed clan leader can't just quit because of a lack of money; that would be a huge disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

"How much exactly?"

"Lord Tobirama didn't say; it's a secret."

Depend on!

Tobirama, that bastard, wouldn't be trying to line his own pockets by pulling this stunt, would he?

Now this large sum of money is waiting for the next Hokage to distribute it. Who gets to eat more and who gets to eat less will be decided by the Hokage's word.

This time, we can't let the Senju clan get the upper hand.

"Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, you must become Hokage!"

Uchiha Tomita stared intently at Uchiha Nan, his eyes practically bulging with sarcasm. Becoming Hokage would grant him the right to allocate funds for rebuilding Konoha.

Isn't this what the ninja clan wanted to become Hokage?

They could legitimately ask the Daimyo of the Land of Fire for money, then distribute it among themselves, with their clans taking a cut to train their ninjas and strengthen their clan's power.

Of course, this is only part of it; there are also various other forms of hidden income.

For example, the division of Konoha missions, land transactions, and trade secrets.

These are rights that only high-level officials can control.

Each clan is doing its utmost to gain as much as possible within the framework of Konoha, then cultivating clan ninjas to strengthen the clan's power, and so on, passing down the cycle from generation to generation.

Whichever clan produces a Hokage will naturally be able to reap the rewards.

This is the closest the Uchiha clan has ever come to the Hokage position; they can't afford to miss this opportunity.

The family desperately needs to recover its losses!

"I will become Hokage."
