Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Now that the Daimyo has agreed, don't forget Konoha's 70% share."

"what?!"

"Seventy percent of Konoha's strength?"

"Your Highness, Konoha is the victim this time, framed by these corrupt officials. Now that they've taken a step back, Your Highness can't just leave them without any compensation."

Nara Shika's face instantly darkened, and his gloomy eyes turned to the daimyo, silencing any words the daimyo wanted to say.

If they continue to entangle themselves at this point, the Daimyo is truly afraid that Konoha and the Land of Fire will turn against each other. Let's settle for 30%; with these charges against them, the days of being slaughtered are far from over.

"Let's do as the Hokage says."

Daming wiped the sweat from his brow and answered with a smile.

Nara Shikahara smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

Konoha has made a fortune again!

Chapter 96 The Uzumaki Clan, Poor Relatives Come Knocking

"I'm innocent!"

"Let me go, you lowly people!!"

"I'm going to file a complaint all the way to Daming! I'm going to file a complaint all the way to Daming!!"

A high-ranking figure from the Land of Fire had his clothes torn by the guards, and he was screaming and yelling wildly. Before he could even understand what was happening, he was already being dragged onto a prison cart.

Teams of servants began to come and go from his house, each pushing a small cart, and each time the cart was filled with all kinds of gold and silver treasures.

Konoha ninjas mingled among the constables, assisting them in raiding homes.

Uchiha Nan originally wanted to take over the entire raiding operation and send Konoha ninjas to carry out a large-scale raid, but unfortunately the daimyo absolutely refused.

Konoha has crossed the line between the Land of Fire and Konoha, and the Daimyo cannot continue to allow Konoha to interfere in the Land of Fire's internal affairs.

However, Uchiha Nan did not trust the Daimyo, and he was even more worried about the people under the Daimyo's command.

In the past, the information gathered by Konoha was not comprehensive, especially regarding the property of the insects. It was possible that they underestimated it, but not overestimated it.

The insects' wealth must be much greater than 60 billion taels, and Uchiha Nan would never allow himself to suffer any loss.

Moreover, when the house was raided, piles of silver were stacked up like small mountains. Even the most upright person would be tempted by greed, let alone these filthy creatures whose hands were already dirty.

Seventy percent of this money comes from Konoha!

After some "friendly negotiations," the Daimyo agreed to Uchiha Nan's request to allow Konoha to participate in the raid.

The raid lasted for three whole days, and the entire family of those few insects was executed. This massive political upheaval shook the political arena of the entire Fire Kingdom's capital.

By this time, no one was paying any more attention to those trivial matters from Konoha's past.

The rabbit mourns the fox's death.

In the past, powerful figures who were once just as arrogant as them lost their families and fortunes in just three days, with their hard-earned wealth accumulated over generations being completely plundered.

It wasn't that no one had tried to plead with the daimyo, but when these nobles and ministers pleaded for mercy, the daimyo simply presented them with all the evidence of Konoha's crimes.

With witnesses and physical evidence, there was no way to deny it. The lord's cold gaze and warning words made the remaining insects tremble. It seemed that the lord still held a lot of charges against them.

They can't be saved, they can't be saved. They'd better pray for themselves.

Before long, the clever ones among the insects were horrified to discover that the important figures who had been executed were all those who had been most active in impeaching Konoha in recent days.

The truth has come out. Konoha has made its move. Their methods of concealing their dirty deeds might work for ordinary people, but against ninjas, it's like showing off their skills in front of an expert. A simple genjutsu can make them vomit everything out.

The Fire Country's nobles, who had been indulging in pleasure, finally remembered that they were ordinary people. They all actively ignored Konoha's various overstepping actions and became obedient children.

They had secretly sent people to apologize to Konoha, each offering valuable gifts as a token of their remorse.

Konoha

"What a bunch of scoundrels!"

"Why do they have to cause trouble for Konoha when they could live a peaceful life?"

Uchiha Nan sat in his office, facing a retainer of a powerful figure from the Land of Fire.

Despite Uchiha Nan's undisguised mockery of his master in front of him, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. The recent political upheaval in the capital had terrified them all.

The blood of the beheaded bigwigs was still flowing in the market. Their status was even higher than that of his master. They were all executed along with their entire families. How could he and his master dare to show the slightest temper? They were lucky to have survived.

Uchiha Nan chatted with these people for a few minutes and then told them to get lost. If it weren't for the gifts, Uchiha Nan really wouldn't have even seen them once.

However, this group of people were really generous. In just a few days, Konoha had received compensation worth more than one billion ryo, and this did not even include the gifts that the insects had given him privately.

These insects are really rich!

Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly. The class stratification in the ninja world was outrageous. They hadn't just been in business for three generations; it had been making money through business and politics for over a dozen generations.

Compared to these insects, Konoha is a penniless pauper, and a penniless pauper at that, possessing the most powerful military force in the Land of Fire.

What kind of impoverished life did we live before?

Suddenly, Uchiha Nan's door was pushed open, and Kakuzu barged in, his eyes gleaming like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten for months.

"Hokage-sama, don't hesitate! Lead Konoha and charge! Kill all those nobles! I, Kakuzu, will lead the charge!"

"Kill them!!"

"With the kunai in hand, come with me!"

Kakuzu has been sorting out the accounts these days, and the continuous flow of money has made him very excited.

He knew those nobles were wealthy, but he didn't expect them to be this wealthy. After following Uchiha Nan for so long, his previously rigid way of thinking was suddenly broken.

What kind of mission is this? It's still faster to make money by taking advantage of the big spenders!

"Don't be impatient, their money will belong to Konoha sooner or later."

Uchiha Nan gently comforted Kakuzu. This guy's eyes had already turned green, although his eyes were originally green. Now was not the time to turn against the Land of Fire. Just let them calm down for a while.

In the end, Kakuzu left Uchiha Kusanagi's office with great reluctance.

Not long after Kakuzu left, Nara Shikagawa entered the office.

"Lord Hokage, the Uzumaki clan is sending people to Konoha."

"They've probably come seeking aid. The Uzumaki clan helped Konoha a lot during the First Shinobi World War, and their situation isn't looking too good lately."

"."

Nara Shikato recounted the situation of the Uzumaki clan.

An island nation, small and sparsely populated, lacking money, manpower, food, and everything else.

It is nominally a country with a village called Uzumaki Village, but in reality, there is only one Uzumaki clan on the island. Calling it a country is just a way for them to claim territory and indulge in their own fantasies.

In order to help Konoha win the first Shinobi World War, the Uzumaki clan burned down all the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

It's like poor relatives have come to visit.

A few days later

The Uzumaki clan group soon arrived in Konoha.

"So big, so grand!"

"Clan leader, is Konoha this prosperous?"

Yayoi Uzumaki seems like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Konoha's development is like driving a car on a highway; in just a few months, Konoha has changed completely.

The biggest change was naturally in Konoha's transportation. Uchiha Nan ordered all the old walls around the roads to be torn down, and the roads in Konoha to be widened and rebuilt with new cement.

The saying "To get rich, build roads first" was firmly upheld by Uchiha Nan, and facts have proven this truth to be correct.

The widening of the roads greatly accelerated Konoha's commercial trade. The wide and clean cement roads were bustling with merchants from various countries who came to Konoha to conduct business.

The bustling streets were filled with pedestrians, and the constant hawking of vendors could be heard outside the shops.

"Konoha has changed so much."

"incredible"

The whirlpool reed blinked, seemingly unsure of what to say, and just kept looking around.

"Clan leader, didn't you say that Konoha's current situation is not optimistic?"

Uzumaki Reed ignored Uzumaki Yayoi; he had no idea how Konoha had become like this.

The last time he communicated with the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Tobirama was complaining about Konoha's financial pressure and was still waiting for the Fire Country Daimyo's financial assistance to save their lives.

Several months ago, Uzumaki Ashi had been thinking of asking Konoha for help. But Tobirama Senju had described Konoha in such a terrible state in his letter that Uzumaki Ashi was too embarrassed to bring it up.

However, the Uzumaki clan simply couldn't hold on any longer, and even though they didn't want to trouble Konoha, they now had no choice but to come to Konoha for help.

"Grandpa, it smells so good!"

Whirlpool Sun Moon pointed to a tea shop, and the aroma of milk tea instantly attracted the thirteen-year-old girl.

Having traveled across the ocean to Konoha, and exhausted from the journey, with no food in her stomach, the aroma of milk tea instantly captivated Uzumaki Yotsuki.

"Then let's try it."

Uzumaki Reishi gently stroked Uzumaki Yotsuki's hair, a loving expression on her face. Uzumaki Yotsuki had come to Konoha with a mission; she could only hope that Yotsuki wouldn't meet her demands.

How much is this cup?

The waiter announced a price that made Whirlpool Reed frown. This milk tea is damn expensive!

"One cup, please."

For the sake of the child, it's okay to pay a little more.

"Chieftain, what about me?"

"You're a grown man, why should I pay for your meals?"

"Buy it yourself!"

Uzumaki Reed glanced at Uzumaki Yayoi with disdain, then took out her money and paid the bill.

What exactly happened in Konoha? The changes were so drastic.
