Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Uchiha Tomita, his face beaming with delight, immediately went to greet him.

"Yes, I'm back, I'm back."

Uchiha Nan agreed, not intending to get entangled with Uchiha Tomita here, and headed straight home!

Who's in that carriage?

"A gift, a gift, a gift from the Great Name!"

"So many?"

"The daimyo is very hospitable, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Uchiha Nan lowered his head and quickened his pace.

"Hey! You guys over there, how can you be so clueless? Why don't you help the clan chief pull the carriage and also carry the gifts from the daimyo inside the clan chief's house?"

Tomita Uchiha greeted a few Uchiha lads who were passing by.

How could such trivial matters as leading a horse-drawn carriage and moving things waste Uchiha Kusanagi's time?

Uchiha Tomita was also eager to reconcile the accounts with Uchiha Nan and properly put the extra 1 billion ryo into the family's accounts.

Ten billion ryo is no small sum. Even the family's professional accountant would have to spend some time falsifying accounts, and the receipts would all need to be stamped by the Hokage, Uchiha Nan.

"Okay, Lord Tomita!"

"Here we go!"

A few cool young men immediately came over eagerly; they couldn't be happier to do something for Uchiha Nan.

Before Uchiha Nan could even refuse, he grabbed the reins of the carriage.

Uchiha Nan gripped the reins tightly, waving his hands repeatedly in refusal.

However, the young men perceived this gesture as merely a symbolic rejection.

"Chief, what gifts did the daimyo send? A whole carriage full of them!"

The thing that Uchiha Nan was most worried about still happened. One of the young men, out of curiosity, opened the curtain.

"ah"

Feng and Ling hugged each other tightly. Uchiha Nan had told them not to speak without his permission. His serious expression frightened the two sisters, and they had been on tenterhooks the whole way. The sudden appearance of so many voices made them huddle together even more.

Gift?

Is this the damn gift from the daimyo?

The group of Uchiha youths stared wide-eyed at the twin sisters in the carriage.

Chieftain, you've got some pretty fancy tricks up your sleeve!

Finished!

Uchiha Nan's heart sank; his integrity shattered at that moment.

"Clan Chief, I..." Cold sweat broke out on Uchiha Tomita's back. Even if he were beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the gift Uchiha Nan had mentioned would be this.

I hope I won't be killed to silence me!

"What are you looking at? Put the curtain down!"

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Enraged, Uchiha Nan immediately started chasing them away. The young men, naturally eager to leave this dangerous place, quickly fled.

"Tomita, please stay behind."

Uchiha Nan's words were like the whisper of a demon, causing Uchiha Tomita, who was about to flee, to stop in his tracks.

"Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, is there anything else?"

"Go and prepare a big bed for me, the kind that can sleep three people."

Since things have already come to this, why not go all out for excitement? Uchiha Nan decided to go all out, and he also needed to give an explanation for Kaede and Rin's identities.

As the Hokage, his every move is under scrutiny, and he can't hide it for long.

"Yes, Lord Uchiha Kusunoki!"

Uchiha Tomita thought to himself, "Uchiha Nan really lives up to his reputation as a young man; he's got so much energy!"

I've already entered middle age, so let's not dwell on the unspeakable troubles of middle age.

Originally, Tomita Uchiha wanted to leave, but now that Nan Uchiha had stopped him, Tomita decided to take this opportunity to say some things to avoid trouble later.

As the Hokage and head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kusunoki possessed noble blood and already had two bloodline limits, so he should marry a wife within the clan.

Only children born from this lineage can retain the highest concentration of their bloodline, and their natural talents will naturally be at their best.

As long as Uchiha Nan gives the order, Uchiha Tomita can immediately select a beautiful young woman from within the clan and marry her to Uchiha Nan!

The clan elders were already urging them to do it, and those with granddaughters were especially eager to try. They couldn't delay any longer; when they were Uchiha Nan's age, their children would already be calling them "Dad."

As for the two sisters given by the daimyo, keeping them as concubines is not a big deal in a large clan; it's not unusual. However, becoming the wife of the Uchiha clan head would probably be quite difficult.

"I know, I know."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, not intending to argue with Uchiha Tomita on this issue. Kaede and Rin were unexpected in the first place, and he wouldn't have accepted them at all if it weren't for the reward of the sadistic mission.

But it really does smell delicious!

As for his future wife, he'd just take it as it comes; as long as she's pretty, that's all that matters. Uchiha Nan hadn't thought that far ahead.

Seeing that Uchiha Nan had no objections, Uchiha Tomita felt relieved and went to prepare the large bed.

After settling Feng and Ling in, Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita went back to the Hokage Building to work. They planned to stamp the approval slips for falsifying accounts in advance, as requested by the Minister of Finance of the Land of Fire, to avoid trouble later.

"How many?"

"How many did you say?"

"Two billion!"

Uchiha Tomita slumped into his chair with a thud. The extra billion was already a pleasant surprise, but now it had more than doubled.

"Calm down!"

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, telling Uchiha Tomita not to get too excited, why did he look so naive?

After visiting the Finance Department of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Nan realized just how greedy and cunning those damned insects were.

Commercial tax evasion alone could support another Konoha village, not even counting the huge land tax.

Make money, make money, and make more money!

Without money, there is no way to develop.

To complete the roulette mission, we must find a way to make money. Relying solely on the Land of Fire's funding will not be enough to realize Konoha's dream. For ninjas from other villages to be willing to become rogue ninjas to join Konoha, this requirement is exceptionally high.

We must transform Konoha into America to attract countless Jun ninja to join us!

Chapter 48 Chieftain, your words are profound!

After a busy afternoon, Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita finally stamped all sorts of fake receipts ahead of schedule, and were just waiting for the money to arrive.

Afterwards, Uchiha Nan rested his chin on his hands and discussed the future development of Konoha with Uchiha Tomita, eager to hear Tomita's opinion.

After all, Uchiha Nan has no one else to rely on right now; his only remaining team is the Uchiha clan.

Tomita Uchiha was an outstanding talent in the Uchiha clan, with high talent in both combat and managing the clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take the reins of the entire Uchiha clan after Madara Uchiha left.

After taking over the position, Uchiha Tomita also did his best to teach him how to be an excellent clan leader, so Uchiha Nan respected Uchiha Tomita very much.

"I think the most important thing right now is to recuperate and rebuild, especially for the ninjas. And then there are the missions."

"."

Uchiha Nan listened attentively.

Hmm, very traditional, the same old approach: train as many ninjas as possible to strengthen Konoha's power, and ask the daimyo for more funding, etc.

We are at the mercy of others!

It's standard ninja thinking, but you can't blame him. In this flawed worldview, ninjas are supposed to hone their skills, become stronger, and then take on missions to support themselves.

Another victim of the poisonous influence of the ninja tool theory.

Uchiha Nan's ambitions are far more complex than that. He wants to get involved in all sorts of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, commerce, and entertainment, transforming Konoha into a giant trust that monopolizes resources and extracts profits.

Leveraging its strong economic power and cultural influence, Konoha continuously promotes its universal values.

With Konoha becoming powerful, it is inevitable that it will face a joint attack from the other four ninja villages.

Since they can't crush the world with their own strength, they'll find another way to rule the world. They can't just wait for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Of course, the most important thing is still the issue of mindset.

The First Hokage's extremely naive ideas were far too outdated and could not possibly serve as the guiding ideology for Konoha. He should have gone to study the nine-year compulsory education system of the Rabbit Kingdom, and he should have focused on improving his knowledge of politics and history.

"An excellent organization must have a lofty pursuit, and Konoha's pursuit is naturally peace in the ninja world."

"On this basis, we need to develop our military, political, economic, and cultural strength. Konoha's military power is undoubtedly formidable, but its influence in politics, economics, and culture lags far behind."

"The first problem Konoha needs to solve is the economy. To achieve a leapfrog development, it's pointless for ninjas to compete with the daimyo for land. They've been ahead for over a thousand years."

Therefore, we must develop industry, science and technology, and increase productivity.

Uchiha Nan was talking eloquently. Talking about politics is a basic skill for people in China. Every night, a great reformer, a great politician, or a great military strategist will randomly appear in the male dormitories of every university.

It's a pity that I can only pontificate and express my opinions in the dormitory, unable to realize my ambitions.

Of course, Uchiha Nan wasn't a professional, but he only needed to set the way, and the elites of Konoha would naturally follow suit.

Uchiha Tomita sat there listening, sweat beading on his forehead. At first, he could understand a little, but later he couldn't understand what Uchiha Nan was saying anymore.

"Industry needs to develop steel, because steel is the lifeblood of industry."

"To get rich, build roads first. Konoha really needs to improve its roads, and we also need to develop trains in the future."

"."

Uchiha Tomita's mouth gaped open involuntarily, almost babbling. Although he couldn't understand Uchiha Nan's words, Uchiha Tomita felt that these words were profound truths and had a very sophisticated feel to them.

All he needs to do is nod!
