Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

If Tiehuo can do it, then can the two of them do it too?

The fact that the iron fire before them could cause such enormous destruction meant that the effect of the silver flower was far more powerful than they had imagined.

It is obvious that Tetsuka's ninjutsu had such a terrifying effect because his eye power was enhanced.

The four Jonin simultaneously recalled the silver flower that had been brought home.

The four of them thought to themselves, "If we took it... would we become this much stronger?"

The resentment that the other Uchiha members had felt earlier vanished instantly.

How can money compare to real power?

The Uchiha clan is so purely driven by their pursuit of power.

They had even begun to fantasize about growing to that level after taking the pills and the silver flower given to them by Hiruko.

While the four Jonin were lost in thought, Tetsuka had already used all the ninjutsu he was familiar with.

Its power has increased by about 50% compared to before.

Keep in mind that this is 50% of the peak strength of a Jonin, such an improvement is undoubtedly huge.

Ironfire's strength was almost touching a higher level, all thanks to the silver flower, which truly doubled his pupil power.

Even chakra, life energy, and mental strength have seen a significant increase.

The only consequence is that it adds a bunch of messy memories to the brain.

Once one breaks free from these illusions, their emotional impact plummets instantly.

And if someone is truly and irrevocably immersed in illusion, there are ways to help them.

We could certainly use some sealing techniques to preserve the memories from this period.

"Good! Very good!!"

After witnessing Tekka's skill release, Fugaku Uchiha was overwhelmed with emotion, and a slight smile crept onto his usually serious face.

Tie Huo's increased strength is equivalent to an increase in his influence within the clan.

If the other four trusted Jonin take the flowers and medicine, their strength will also increase significantly.

Then he wouldn't need to pay too much attention to the pressure from the elders in the clan, and he naturally wouldn't need to heed the gossip within the clan.

In Konoha, it wasn't just the Uchiha clan undergoing a dramatic transformation; other places were also experiencing earth-shattering changes.

Factories were constantly being built, and there were many things that needed to be produced in Beiliuhu.

He wanted to accelerate the process of capital accumulation for ordinary people in the ninja world.

Social reform still requires large-scale changes and alterations to the existing social structure.

The establishment of factories can employ a large number of civilians, especially orphans who have suffered trauma in war, providing them with an opportunity to make a living.

Konoha is improving every single day!

This information spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world.

The news that Beiliuhu had made a fortune selling salt spread like wildfire.

For the hot-tempered Fourth Raikage, this news was like a heavy hammer blow, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

They simply couldn't believe that the prosthetic scientist from Konoha was actually making nearly 18 billion taels of extra income every month by selling salt.

More than 18 billion is no small sum.

Although some in the staff analyzed that this income level might only be able to remain at such a high level for a short period of time.

Because ordinary people realized that salt was not so scarce, they would only buy it in small, continuous amounts and would no longer hoard it in large quantities.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this has already had a serious impact on the current war situation.

Some people in Kumogakure were secretly relieved that they hadn't directly broken with Konoha yet, and that they still had the excuse of an exercise to cover up the matter.

The Fourth Raikage couldn't resist giving that idiot a good beating when he heard that.

Are you kidding me!

If they really back down like this, not to mention losing face.

From the perspective of competition between nations, this is also highly inappropriate.

Konoha was already powerful, and now with so many more lucrative projects, the gap between the two sides will widen further.

If Konoha isn't dragged into an endless war and its resources depleted, they will undoubtedly be defeated.

However, starting a war now is giving A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, an even bigger headache.

Although he had a somewhat volatile temper, the Fourth Raikage was at least able to think from a strategic perspective.

She is definitely a qualified actress.

He then grabbed the obese official from the Land of Lightning in front of him and roared, "What did you just tell me? What do you mean by 'the Land of Lightning has its own national conditions, and what Konoha can do, the Land of Lightning can never do'?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, is quite similar to the Third Raikage. Their moves are wide and sweeping, and when they get angry, they are like a raging storm, clearly a hot-tempered guy.

On the battlefield, he is an absolute vanguard and initiator; now, dealing with an ordinary civil official from the Land of Lightning is naturally a piece of cake.

The official from the Land of Lightning was also very tough at this moment. Even though he was being scolded mercilessly, he stubbornly retreated step by step.

He muttered to himself, "The adults will take care of the salt; Lord Raikage need not worry about it."

The Fourth Raikage, veins bulging on his forehead, roared, "What do you mean, 'I don't need to worry about it'?"

"Are you guys trying to betray your own people?"

"If Kumogakure loses to Konoha, will you bastards still have a good life? Tell those guys behind you to use their brains!"

The plump, youthful-looking official in front of him guiltily looked away.

Even he himself knew that the Fourth Raikage was right: if Kumogakure was so eager to compete with Konoha, it would soon expand its military again.

But the big shots, after fighting for so many years, also wanted to replenish their coffers, since the wars of the past few years had drained them too much.

In particular, the Third Shinobi World War nearly emptied the territories of all the major shinobi nations.

Moving those nobles' and daimyo's money now is like moving their heads.

These days, even big shots have a tough time, you know.

The pace at which he took in twenty-eight concubines slowed down.

As for ordinary people, they felt they couldn't survive.

Did you actually work hard at farming, and then buy a Japanese-style room in the capital of the Land of Lightning?

The price has been like this for so many years!

So many law-abiding citizens have bought them in the capital of the Land of Lightning. It's not your own problem that you can't buy them.

Think more about your own reasons, work hard and don't always blame the Land of Lightning!

It's not because your Cloud Ninja are bad. If you had accepted more missions, even low-priced ones, you would have surpassed Konoha long ago.

Don't always focus on the price of the task; that will alienate you. Focus on hard work!

Ideals are the most important thing!

Everything for the Land of Lightning.

In short, this fat official from the Land of Lightning rambled on and on about a bunch of things the Fourth Raikage couldn't understand.

Then... I...!
