Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Master, it's time to wake up!"

Rin, fully dressed, woke Uchiha Nan. The bright sunlight shone on Uchiha Nan's face, somewhat dazzling. After a few minutes of struggle with the bed, Uchiha Nan finally overcame its constraints and regained his freedom.

The weather is gradually getting cooler. Feeling the lingering warmth on the bed, Uchiha Nan is thinking about whether he should install an air conditioner in the house, in all the rooms!

The air conditioner production line has been set up during this period, and Konoha has plenty of workers to participate in the production.

After the great battle ended, not only were there a lot of villagers in Konoha unable to find work, but the refugees were also eagerly hoping to find a job that could fill their stomachs.

Uchiha Nan's shady factory is filled with cheap labor, earning meager wages, but Konoha provides all the food and lodging. They work 12-hour shifts a day, taking turns working night shifts.

If the Jews saw this, they'd probably be so envious they'd cry.

However, even with a job that included room and board, the migrant workers were eagerly anticipating it, and the cattle and horses who had arrived at their workstations early were still spreading the good name of Uchiha Nan.

The Hokage of Konoha is truly a great benefactor.

Uchiha Nan walked down the street, reflecting on today's tasks. More than a month had already passed.

Uchiha Nan has a lot on her plate today. Her movie finished filming a few days ago, and she's working overtime editing it. She wants to watch every single scene.

He also had to go to the Hokage's office to listen to Nara Shikato's daily report, so his schedule was packed.

"Master, the milk tea is so delicious."

"Really? I still prefer Coke!"

Uchiha Nan was walking down the street with a Coke in his hand, while Kaede and Rin each held a cup of milk tea.

Several tea shops have opened in Konoha, specializing in milk tea and cola. Long queues have already formed there. The characteristic of these two drinks is that they are very sweet and have a lot of sugar!

Humans are slaves to sugar; the brain is a sugar-loving organ that cannot eat anything but sugar. If there is not enough sugar, it will even break down fats and proteins to forcibly synthesize sugar.

Sweet and fragrant milk tea directly hits the weak spot of human nature, especially girls love to drink it. It's just a pity that sugar is not cheap now, and ordinary Konoha villagers are unwilling to spend money on such things. Only high-income ninjas can afford to drink several cups of milk tea a day.

In order to promote the reputation of milk tea and cola, Uchiha Nan not only personally endorsed the tea shop.

During each Konoha meeting, special funds were allocated to provide each person with a Coke and a milk tea!

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

Moreover, milk tea and cola taste great on their own, and milk tea shops have been doing booming business lately; even ninjas might not be able to buy a cup a day.

There were many young men in the long queue, patiently waiting in line just to buy a cup of milk tea, hoping to win a smile from a beautiful woman with that cup.

Regarding this approach, Uchiha Nan commented that "the drought is killing the drought-stricken, and the flood-stricken are drowning in the flood."

A cup of milk tea won't win the favor of your crush; it will only make you a simp.

Sugarcane and sugar beets are both high-sugar cash crops, but now most people are growing grains. People are starving, and filling their stomachs is more important than anything else.

In the future, I might bring about a ninja world version of changing rice to sugarcane (beet).

As Uchiha Nan walked towards the office, he silently pondered how to quickly solve the sugar production problem.

But once capital bares its fangs, a land grab similar to sheep devouring men might occur, potentially leading to widespread starvation. Uchiha Nan, despite running a ruthless factory and exploiting workers' labor, still considered himself a good person!

Even though he did such a heartless thing, Uchiha Nan still felt a pang of guilt.

I'm still a kind person at heart.

Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly, thinking about what alternative method there might be. The ninja world was vast and full of wonders; surely a solution that could satisfy both sides could be found.

So Uchiha Nan thought of the Aburame clan. Bees can collect nectar to make honey, which is high in sugar. Their clan specializes in playing with insects, so they should have the opportunity to cultivate insects that can produce sugar by eating grass, or simply by basking in the sun.

in the office

Uchiha Nan sat in the chair and looked at Aburame Shion, saying:

"Zhiyun, Konoha has a very important task to entrust to your clan!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Aburame Shion showed an excited expression, as he was well aware of his clan's status in Konoha.

The Aburame clan excels at manipulating insects, but their fatal weakness is that the insects are vulnerable to fire-based techniques. Before the Aburame clan developed nano-sized poisonous insects, their combat strength was not considered high.

Gathering intelligence and scouting enemy positions are their clan's specialties. Unfortunately, Konoha has better candidates in this area, namely the Hyuga clan, which makes the Aburame clan's position in Konoha quite awkward.

In addition, their family has always had a low profile and has always been a nobody in the Konoha ninja clan.

But it’s different now!

The Hokage actually remembered me and was about to entrust the Aburame clan with an important task!

The Hokage giving you a mission means you have an opportunity; if you do it well, you'll naturally have a chance to rise through the ranks. "Hokage, is there some important infiltration mission that requires the Aburame clan?"

Aburame Shion's tone was excited as he guessed what task Uchiha Nan was about to give.

"Of course not. Everyone has their own expertise. The task I've assigned you is your specialty: breeding a special kind of insect. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Uchiha Nan shook his head and said slowly.

"Cultivating insects, then the Hokage has chosen the right clan!"

"No one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is more suitable than our clan to complete the Hokage's mission!"

Aburame Zhiyun's tone was full of confidence. Their clan were top experts in playing with insects, and they could even raise insects inside their bodies!

Uchiha Nan reiterated his requirements to Aburame Shion, impressing Aburame Shion with Uchiha Nan's boundless imagination.

Their lineage has always been dedicated to making insects more destructive and venomous, either enlarging them to the extreme or shrinking them to the extreme.

They haven't even tried, or even considered, breeding insects specifically to produce sugar.

"The insects' food must be commonplace, such as grass or similar plants, and the insects must produce a large amount of sugar!"

"If possible, we could also cultivate a type of insect that is not picky about food, reproduces quickly, and has a high protein content."

Uchiha Nan recalled the "Happy Meal" on the Snow Country Train, protein blocks made entirely from cockroaches. Although the ingredients were disgusting and the taste was awful, it was truly filling. Exporting food like this from Konoha would definitely be a great opportunity!

"Lord Hokage, the Aburame clan will do everything in its power to gather the strength of all its members!"

This was the first time Uchiha Nan had assigned a task to the Aburame clan. It was their first attempt to cultivate these types of insects. Aburame Shion wasn't sure how long it would take to successfully cultivate them, but he had to be serious about it!

"Don't be too nervous. I have a master in scientific research here. You can make a prototype sample insect and write down your cultivation ideas. I believe he can help you quickly cultivate the insect I need."

Uchiha Nan planned to add more burdens to Senju Tobirama's load. A good ox or horse needs more weight on its back, otherwise it will slack off!

"Oh? The Hokage has a master at cultivating insects by his side!"

"I wonder when I'll be able to meet this master."

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan mention the master who cultivates insects, Aburame Shion immediately perked up; he absolutely had to meet such a scientific research master.

"I'll have a chance. He's currently very busy with research."

Uchiha Nan chuckled and brushed it off. He didn't know whether Senju Tobirama would cultivate insects. There were still barriers between industries, and even a genius like Senju Tobirama needed time to explore and discover.

We can have the Aburame clan create a prototype first, which will make it easier for Tobirama Senju to take action.

Aburame Shion wisely skipped the topic and quickly took his leave to return to his clan, intending to immediately gather all the clan's members to cultivate the insects that the Hokage needed.

After Aburame Shion left, Nara Shika went into his office to begin his daily routine, reporting to Uchiha Nan.

"Air conditioners sell very well among the nobles of the Land of Fire; almost every noble has bought one."

"The Daimyo is still demanding that Konoha speed up production; he wants to renovate the entire palace of the Land of Fire!"

Nara Shika's tone was filled with joy.

The cost of this air conditioner is quite low, with the labor cost being incredibly low; the expensive part is all in the materials.

The cost of one unit is only a little over 100,000 taels, but Uchiha Nan sold it to nobles for 880,000 taels.

They claimed it was a special product for nobles, with the patterns on the outer shell carved by high-ranking ninjas. Of course, this was nonsense; the patterns were all carved by ordinary workers. But nobles and brand owners were willing to buy into this.

The regular version costs only 298,000 taels, but they don't even glance at it. They are nobles, and the regular version is for commoners. As nobles, they naturally want a special supply for nobles!

"Then let's build a few more production lines in the next few days. Daming is rolling in money now. He made a fortune in futures trading and has a lot of money waiting to be spent."

"Remember to charge extra for the accompanying chakra power system. Just say it was rushed and the cost will be higher. Those nobles won't care about such a small amount of money."

Uchiha Nan smiled with satisfaction; making money from big spenders was truly exhilarating.

"Remember to make sure all the movie theaters in the Land of Fire buy air conditioners made in Konoha. You can give them a discount on the price. Building a reputation is the most important thing. Don't overlook the market among ordinary people either!"

"The markets in other countries of the ninja world, and the movie theaters also need the Daimyo's promotion. We can give the Daimyo a small share of the referral fee. You can decide on the percentage yourself. Remember to involve Kakuzu. He's very interested in this kind of thing, and he should have good talent."

Uchiha Nan kept instructing Nara Shikato that the market for nobles was enormous. Not only should they open up sales channels in the Land of Fire, but they should also open up sales channels in other countries. This would require the help of the daimyo's channels. Only by giving the daimyo a little incentive would they be motivated to promote their products and services.

Currently, the main consumers of luxury industrial products like air conditioners are still the aristocracy. It would probably take a middle-class family in the ninja world half a year to finally decide to buy one, but Uchiha Nan will not give up on cultivating their market.

They can afford to watch regular movies. The weather is gradually getting cooler, and they can enjoy the warm air conditioning as soon as they enter the movie theater. In the future, they can enjoy the cool air conditioning in the summer. This is a privilege that only wealthy people could enjoy in the past.

They'll definitely be tempted!

The installation of air conditioning in cinemas this time can also boost box office revenue. In the 21st century of the previous world, in the country of White Elephant, a considerable number of people went to see a movie just to enjoy the free air conditioning.

I made seven dumplings just for this vinegar!

This can be considered a different kind of bundled sales!

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

"Kakuzu, that bounty hunter, is indeed very talented in business, and he's also willing to put in the effort. He's been burning the midnight oil reading economics books these past few days."

"."

Nara Shika mentioned Kakuzu and praised him highly, especially after Kakuzu learned about the cost and profit of air conditioners and the terrifying sales volume behind them. He started studying them like a madman.

His diligent attitude towards studying business economics was something even he couldn't match. After all, in order to better serve Uchiha Nan, Nara Shikamaru had also been studying business-related books recently!

Chapter 91 If you can't awaken the Rinnegan, then watch a movie to relax!

These past few days, Uchiha Nan and the two assistant directors have been arguing incessantly about which scenes in the movie should be kept and which should be cut.

The assistant director hired by Uchiha Nan was very serious and responsible. As expected of a director who had made high-grossing films in the Land of Fire, he had unique insights into film and did not give Uchiha Nan, a new director, any face. When it came to arguing and confronting people, he was not merciful at all.

After several days of back-and-forth discussions, Konoha's first published film, Uchiha Nan's directorial debut, "Saving Genin Obito," was finally fully edited and sent to the Land of Fire for review.

Some troublemakers always take advantage of the opportunity to make movies to subtly satirize important figures in the country. The censorship process is essential, and some sensitive scenes must be deleted, otherwise the film will not be released.

Of course, Uchiha Nan was an exception, as his application was approved at lightning speed.

Despite some sensitive ideological leanings in the film, the censors were quick to dismiss the fact that Konoha had recently been slaughtering people in the Land of Fire over pig iron futures.

Recently, Konoha and the bigwigs have been rivals in the iron ore trade. As a result, Konoha ninjas have been frequently visiting the residences of these bigwigs, bringing them fruit baskets.
