Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Back then, the funds allocated from above were distributed among the ninja clans, allowing each clan to gradually develop and prosper, and to have more children each year.

After all, during the Warring States period, it was considered a sign of progress for a family to have fewer deaths each year.

With the death of the First Hokage, the ninja world descended into chaos, with fighting going on and on. Eventually, the ninja clans even had to pay out of their own pockets, making life unbearable.

Now that Uchiha Nan has arrived, the blue sky is here!

Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju are nothing. Would you give them a lot of money to develop their clans?

It's better for two dead people to stay in their graves; the living should be realistic.

Thus, the title of Konoha's strongest Hokage was directly bestowed upon Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha refused three times, but unfortunately, he couldn't afford it due to the lack of money and power. In the end, Uchiha Nan accepted the title, bringing him one step closer to the title of that murderous Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Next, we can discuss how to use Konoha's latest funding."

Uchiha Nan had had enough of the flattery and felt he couldn't waste any more time arguing with these shameless ninjas; he needed to get down to business.

"Lord Hokage, as you know, it was our clan's ninjas who ate sand every day on the front lines of Sunagakure, and were the first to withstand the Sunagakure's initial offensive."

"Go away, go away! Sand Village is nothing! They're the weakest of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Hokage, our clan's ninja squad launched a surprise attack on Kumogakure's position, catching them completely off guard. Without that attack, the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure would have been delayed for months."

"You fart"

"When our clan was carrying the Tsuchikage Mu's Dust Release, you..."

"."

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, the ninja clans began to recount their achievements in the First Shinobi World War. As they argued, they became increasingly agitated, and their boasting gradually turned into political attacks on the opposing ninja clans by seizing upon their weaknesses.

If Uchiha Nan hadn't been sitting there, they might have started fighting right away.

Uchiha Nan sat in his chair watching them argue, inwardly marveling at how much trouble there was between the ninja clans within Konoha.

However, Konoha has only been established for a little over twenty years, and it is already quite remarkable that the various ninja clans have been able to reconcile to this extent. This also makes it easier for Uchiha Nan to win over and manipulate them.

Uchiha Nan rose to the position of Hokage based on his clan's prestige and his own martial prowess. From today onwards, Uchiha Nan will have his own personal prestige.

This is truly remarkable progress!

Uchiha Nan remained calm and composed, while Nara Shikamaru and Hyuga Takuma stood firm like guardian deities.

The two of them quietly drank tea and watched the ninjas bicker. They were the implementers of the pig iron futures plan, and they didn't need to show off their achievements or qualifications here.

It's worth mentioning that even Senju Momoma couldn't stand the atmosphere and personally got involved in a fight with other ninja clans. Now that the Senju clan is losing power, they are leading the opposition to the iron futures plan.

The pig iron futures scheme has now yielded such huge profits.

Faced with money, Momoma Senju lowered his proud head, one of the three great ninja clans of Konoha, and personally stepped into the fray to fight for profits.

Nothing is more important than enhancing the family's strength; this is the helplessness of being a clan leader.

They argued for most of the afternoon without reaching a conclusion, until finally Uchiha Nan couldn't stand it anymore.

This group of ninjas has no shame when it comes to money. The vocabulary they use to attack and insult each other is so rich that even Uchiha Nan, a veteran player who has been hanging around Zaun for many years, wanted to take out a small notebook to write it all down.

They've completely abandoned all sense of decency.

Uchiha Kunan personally intervened to divide the spoils, and no matter which clan felt they were getting too little, they had to obediently accept it.

The last great battle in the ninja world was commanded by Uchiha Nan, and the extra funds in the treasury were earned by Uchiha Nan. Uchiha Nan firmly grasped both military merits and financial power. Now, only those who are allowed to eat are allowed to eat.

However, this amount of money was simply too large, and the ninja clans had indeed been living a rather frugal life in recent years. Uchiha Nan had even forced a previous sum of money to be transferred to Konoha's account.

Therefore, each ninja clan received a number that satisfied them, enough for them to restore their clan's population and further train their clan's ninjas.

The Uchiha clan was very generous, and every high-ranking member of the ninja clan present had a rosy complexion. Even Mito Uzumaki, whose face was usually stern, couldn't stop smiling.

Once the money was spent, the people under his command were naturally convinced and willing to submit.

"With this meeting today, we can continue to discuss the future development of Konoha."

Uchiha Nan revealed a serious expression, intending to raise the young man in Konoha who was already in his twenties according to his own wishes.

The ninja clan members put away their smiles and listened solemnly to Uchiha Nan's speech.

"First, regarding the ninja academy's recruitment, it has been postponed once again due to the war, but it should now be put back on the agenda, concerning both students and teachers."

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, the head of the Aburame clan immediately stood up and declared that he would send the core members of the clan to the Ninja Academy.

Aburame Shion remained seated in the corner, so much so that Uchiha Nan had almost forgotten about this clan that focused solely on insects; their presence was practically nonexistent. Uchiha Nan looked surprised. This clan was truly a case of "silent until the moment of truth," directly pledging allegiance to him. Not only was Uchiha Nan astonished, but the other ninja clans were equally surprised.

You idiot Zhiyun! Everyone thought you were an honest person, but you stood up without saying a word and couldn't wait to become Uchiha Nan's dog... no, I mean, to offer your loyalty to the Hokage!

It doesn't matter who they serve. They never dared to get involved in the struggle for Hokage in the past. They are not a major clan like the Hyuga clan. It doesn't matter if they bet wrong. Now the situation in Konoha is so clear.

There's no need to keep up the pretense any longer. The faster you slide to your knees, the more benefits you'll get. Didn't you see how generous the rewards were for Uchiha Nan's first conquest of the Nara clan? The Akimichi and Yamanaka clans also benefited greatly.

The head of the Aburame clan is quite interesting. Uchiha Nan looked at Aburame Shion with satisfaction. If he hadn't stepped forward, Uchiha Nan would have ignored the Aburame clan altogether.

The strength of the Aburame clan was greatly underestimated in the original Naruto manga. Their forbidden techniques, developed using nano-sized insects, spread like a plague. In this physically weak ninja world, even Uchiha Nan could be killed on his first encounter without warning, dying without even understanding why.

Moreover, there is great potential in developing insect-related technologies!

From combat to intelligence gathering, they also have a promising future in production development. The characteristic of insects is that they reproduce quickly; as long as they have a chance to eat, they can reproduce infinitely and rapidly.

One bite and it's crunchy; this bite has five times the protein of beef. For some reason, Uchiha Nan's mind conjured up bizarre images.

What's even more frightening is the development model of the Zerg in the game. Talking about these things in the ninja world is a bit of a fantasy, but with Tobirama Senju around, he might be able to come up with something interesting.

Focus on cultivating them!

Uchiha Nan made a note of Aburame Shion, intending to keep him in his sights more often, as their clan's presence was too weak.

"Lord Hokage, my clan is the Inuzuka clan."

Inuzuka Iwa couldn't wait to speak up, joining Aburame Shion in pledging allegiance to Uchiha Nan. Their two clans were deeply intertwined. Although they weren't as mutually supportive as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, in this treacherous ninja world, having a ninja clan that could help each other was already a rare find.

Unlike the original Uchiha clan, who were wiped out and no one even spoke up, their interpersonal relationships were terrible.

Such relationships among ninja clans are rare in the entire ninja world; during the Warring States period, they were mostly just working for their employers.

To complete a mission, it's all too easy for ninja clans to turn on each other with swords. Malicious employers might even specifically target clans with whom they have a good relationship to carry out opposing missions.

Even the best relationships can't withstand the machinations of self-interest. As for the instigators behind it all...

Uchiha Nan's thoughts wandered as she recalled families with similar relationships in the original Naruto manga, her gaze finally settling on Hyuga Takuma.

The Hyuga clan seems to have a good relationship with the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure. There are even rumors that they are cousins. One plays with eyes, and the other plays with bones. Their styles don't match at all. However, the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan do have a very good relationship.

The fates of the Kaguya and Uchiha clans were practically identical: both were ostracized by their superiors and then rebelled. The only difference was that the Uchiha were killed by their own people, while the Kaguya clan perished in the struggle for their own rights.

Kaguya's clan is truly courageous!

I, Uchiha Kunan, am fond of you all. I'll find an opportunity to steal some people from Kirigakure sometime in the future.

As for the Inuzuka clan, Uchiha Nan only remembered one move, Fang Over Fang, which was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

"Very good, the two clan leaders are very understanding and righteous. Konoha will not forget your contributions."

Uchiha Nan affirmed the two clan leaders' allegiance, Inuzuka Iwa's face lit up with joy, and Aburame Shion, who was even more expressionless than the Uchiha clan, also smiled, though his smile looked more like a grimace.

"Our family."

"And us."

The remaining clan leaders all pledged their loyalty to Uchiha Nan. If they weren't eager to be his dogs now, they wouldn't even get to eat shit in the future, let alone meat.

Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction. The Ninja Academy was the core of Konoha's development in the next few years. Originally, Uchiha Nan was going to talk to each of these clan leaders to get their support for the Ninja Academy, which would probably involve some wrangling, coercion, and inducement.

It's much more convenient now; once the money is in place, everyone nods and bows in agreement.

"There is a second thing, which is to establish a science and technology department in Konoha, with special funding allocated to it, and everything in it should be classified as top secret."

"Technology is the primary productive force. Konoha's future absolutely cannot rely solely on the Daimyo's fixed salary and the meager wages from missions. Konoha's future is bright."

Uchiha Nan habitually gave speeches, and he was too skilled at making empty promises. His subordinate ninja clans were so excited by his words that everyone liked money. The Hokage had already proven his ability, so listening to him was definitely the right thing to do!

"agree."

"agree."

"."

Uchiha Nan's proposal was naturally passed unanimously, and he finally solved the funding problem for Tobirama Senju's laboratory under a clever pretext.

Tobirama Senju casually mentioned 3 billion yen, and that's just the cost of building the top-tier laboratory. The subsequent expenses haven't even been calculated yet. The cost is probably comparable to waging a medium-sized war. The Uchiha clan can't afford this money, nor do they intend to.

Sending Tobirama Senju to conduct scientific research was for the sake of Konoha's development.

Uchiha Kusunoki could use Konoha's money to support the Uchiha clan, but using the Uchiha's money to support Konoha would be too much of a burden for him; he simply didn't have such noble sentiments.

"As for the third matter, I plan to set up a company, and the Uchiha will invest in it. Konoha owes you a lot of debt in the past. Do you want to convert the debt into shares?"

Uchiha Nan presented his final proposal: the best way to change the mindset of these ninja clans was to bind them with mutual benefits.

Konoha is Konoha, and clans are clans. They make a clear distinction between the two. Ninja clans may risk their lives for Konoha, but ultimately it is for their own clans.

Behind Konoha are their families. If given a choice between Konoha and their clan, they would almost certainly choose their clan without hesitation.

The interests of Konoha and clans are sometimes not aligned. Konoha is a military group that does not interfere with production. To ask these ninjas to give up honing their martial skills and force them to engage in production is to make things too difficult for these ninjas who have been poisoned by the idea of ​​ninjas as tools for thousands of years.

The ninjas pooled their money to form a large company, and when they saw the piles of cash during the annual dividends, they realized that there was a vast potential for ninjas to engage in production as well.

To unleash their initiative, once these ninja gorillas have witnessed the wonders of capital, they will never be able to stop.

"Lord Hokage, the Hyuga clan has agreed. As the head of the Hyuga clan, I have faith in your abilities."

"I am willing to offer my loyalty to the Hokage!"

Hyuga Takuma was the first to respond to Uchiha Nan's suggestion. He was the first to take the plunge and establish a relationship with Uchiha Nan. Now he's reaping the benefits, and he'll support whatever Uchiha Nan does.

There's no way around it, Uchiha Nan's vision is just too high, as high as a three-story building.

"I am willing to offer my loyalty to the Hokage!"

"Willing to."

Suddenly, the conference room was filled with noise.

Chapter 82 Tobirama: You're the Hokage, you can't go down the path of crime.

Money isn't everything, but you can't do without it.

This principle remained unchanged in the Rabbit Kingdom of the past, and it remains an unchanging truth in this ninja world with its extraordinary power.
