Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

In addition to its role in unifying currency, banks can also stabilize prices and drive development in various regions.

This is not difficult to understand.

Since the currency of the Rain Kingdom was not trusted before, issuing more currency would be useless.

Therefore, the Land of Rain lost its method of stimulating the market through currency.

The market, however, needs a lot of stimulation.

Often, if you set a certain expectation, you will receive a corresponding reward.

The central bank can serve as such a medium.

If the economy is bad, employment data is poor, and people are unwilling to invest, then interest rates should be lowered.

If the economy is doing well, but inflation is severe, then interest rates should be raised.

Of course, there is one more crucial thing for banks.

That is to raise funds to accomplish major tasks by leveraging the public's trust in the country.

This process often requires the issuance of government bonds.

But banks play the same role.

Simply put, it means that banks use the money that people deposit in their banks for projects that have obvious benefits or for companies with promising development prospects.

Then the profits are returned to the depositors.

This completes the process of raising funds to accomplish a major undertaking.

Businesses have grown, projects have been successfully implemented, the public has benefited, and banks have also earned a considerable income.

All are happy.

With a bank, Watanabe Toru could confidently undertake large-scale projects or provide assistance to businesses.

Ultimately, this leads to currency circulation and economic development.

The Land of Rain has become stronger.

This is what banks can offer.

Therefore, the central bank must do it.

Only with a central bank can a unified currency be issued, funds be raised to undertake major projects, prices be stabilized, and the Land of Rain be prevented from becoming an economic plaything of other countries.

It can also effectively prevent the collapse of other countries' currencies from affecting the Rain Country.

Watanabe Tetsu received a positive reply from Nishimura, and he didn't hesitate.

Nishimura has performed exceptionally well in recent months, successfully demonstrating his management skills in the role of head of the logistics department.

The sales performance of the medical ninjutsu scroll and the development achievements of Xiaoguang City are both his doing.

This made Watanabe Tetsu trust Nishimura even more.

How confident are you?

Watanabe Tetsu's question made Nishimura adjust his glasses.

He hesitated for a moment before giving a number.

"Eighty percent."

"How much funding do you need?"

"Five hundred million taels."

This refers to the currency of the Land of Fire.

Watanabe Toru's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were weighing the pros and cons.

Nishimura was a little nervous; the number he mentioned was already an extremely conservative estimate.

If Watanabe Tetsu doesn't agree to this figure, then the bank's plan will be impossible to proceed.

Nishimura stared at Watanabe Tetsu until the other uttered a single word.

"it is good."

"Thank you, boss."

Upon hearing this reply, Nishimura's tense muscles relaxed.

What a relief!

Five hundred million taels! That's five hundred million taels!

The entire Xiaoguang City project is expected to cost only one billion taels of silver!

This level of funding excited even Nishimura, a veteran of countless battles.

This level of number was something he had never dared to imagine.

Now, he is truly able to manage this fund.

Watanabe Tetsu looked at Nishimura, whose smile he couldn't suppress, and felt a faint joy in his heart.

A month ago, he would have had a hard time paying the five hundred million taels.

But now, Xiaoguang can pay this amount of money relatively easily.

Such a pace of development is truly pleasing.

"Nishimura, how is your daughter doing lately?"

Watanabe Tetsu asked with a smile, as if he were just casually showing concern.

But Nishimura tensed up instantly and answered sensitively.

"Thanks to the Akatsuki Ninja Academy you established, my daughter's life has been very fulfilling lately, and her strength has improved rapidly."

Thinking about this, Nishimura couldn't help but start talking non-stop.

"The teachers at the ninja academy are very responsible; they even make home visits. Mio also said that the students at the ninja academy are very harmonious, and there are basically no conflicts."

"basically?"

Watanabe ignored the praise and keenly noticed this unusual detail.

Upon hearing Watanabe Tetsu's question, Nishimura paused slightly before confessing.

"Mio told me that there is some bullying at the ninja school, which is basically the children of rich families bullying those children without a background."

"They would gang up on children who were dressed in simple clothes and bully them. When the teachers came, they would pretend to be friendly and talk to them, so the teachers didn't notice much of it."

"Is that so?"

Watanabe Toru frowned.

The level of basic literacy education in the ninja world can't be described as low; it's more accurate to say it's practically nonexistent.

Most children do not have a clear sense of right and wrong. They often try to prove that they are part of a group by excluding certain individuals.

If Nishimura's description is correct, then this is troublesome.

"I understand about this matter, and I will take action."

"Excuse me, the action you're referring to is..."

Watanabe Tetsu's expression turned serious.

"Just fire him."

"However, this matter still needs further investigation."

Watanabe Toru naturally wouldn't listen to Nishimura's one-sided account; he needed to verify the information from multiple sources.

The environment in the Land of Rain has changed drastically, but a considerable group still retains the extreme ideologies of the past.

They believe in the supremacy of strength, reject equality for all, and are unwilling to give others basic respect.

These people are like dogs when they encounter a strong person like Watanabe Toru.

But when they encounter ordinary people who are not as good as themselves, they act in a completely different way.

Although such people are becoming increasingly rare in the Land of Rain, they still exist.

What happened at the ninja academy is part of the proof.

After all, a child's behavior is closely related to his or her parents' upbringing.

Watanabe Tetsu wouldn't give these kinds of people a friendly look.

Although Watanabe Tetsu wouldn't execute their entire family for this, he would give them a small warning.

Such as having their children drop out of school.

This phenomenon has already occurred in the first semester of the school year.

Watanabe Tetsu felt he had to resort to ruthless methods to resolve this matter.

"I will have this matter thoroughly investigated."

Distracted like this, Watanabe Tetsu suddenly found himself unable to articulate his thoughts on accepting Nishimura Mio as a disciple.

He had no choice but to confess.

"I'm grateful for the help you had with the bank matter. I'd like to meet your daughter in person, and if she's suitable, I'd like to take her on as my disciple. What are your thoughts?"

Nishimura's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.

He adjusted his glasses and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Of course, no problem. It would be our honor. Mio will definitely not let you down."

When Nishimura heard that he was taking on apprentices, he understood.

This is the boss giving him a bonus from the bank.

Who doesn't know that Watanabe Toru's apprentices, whom he took on a few days ago, already have Chunin-level strength?

In just two months, he went from being a nobody Muggle to a Chunin.

Watanabe Toru's teaching talent is evident.

The other party was willing to take Nishimura Mio as his apprentice.

This is undoubtedly a reward!

Since becoming the head of the logistics department of the Xiaoguang Association, Nishimura has basically lost all desire for material possessions.

They have more money than they can spend, and their power is outrageously large.

Besides having a lot of things to do every day and working nearly ten hours a day.

Everything else is great.

If he had to say something, he was worried about what would become of his daughter.

Watanabe Tetsu's words have undoubtedly relieved his worries.

Having been accepted as a disciple by Watanabe Toru, do I still need to worry about my future?

Who doesn't know that Watanabe Toru is right at the center of power?

With someone like that taking her as a disciple, and considering Nishimura's own status, how could Mio possibly lack power in the future?

Whether from a political perspective or from the perspective of Mio's path as a ninja, becoming Watanabe Tetsu's apprentice is the perfect choice.

Nishimura asked in a low voice.

"When would you be willing to see my daughter?"

"Tomorrow, I'll come to your house."
