Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 44 Tsunade's Curiosity

"Yang Yi, why did you come over this morning?"

Kenji Uchiha picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and then said with a smile, "I thought you were cultivating. What brings you here today? By the way, I heard you brought a bear back last night and got a little injured."

After saying that, Kenji Uchiha checked Yoichi Uchiha's body and found that he was not injured.

"That bear is special; it's stronger than most Jonin. I've already taken it as my summoning beast, but it eats a lot, and even with my savings from recent years, I can't afford to feed it."

After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, seeing that Elder Kenji seemed about to speak, he guessed what he was going to say and quickly interrupted him.

"Elder Kenji, I don't mean to ask you for money, but I have a few ideas that, if implemented, will definitely make a lot of money; that way, the Uchiha clan will have several businesses that bring in a steady stream of income, and even the children won't have to worry about money in the future."

Upon hearing this, Kenji Uchiha chuckled softly, then shook his head and said, "Yoichi-kun, your idea is good, but for ninjas, money isn't that important."

One of the three prohibitions of ninjas is against extravagance, which means that money and material possessions can corrupt the minds of strong individuals. This is why some high-ranking ninjas can easily earn rewards from missions, but their homes are very simple.

"Elder Kenji, when I said I wasn't worried about money, I didn't mean I was indulging in luxury. In battle, ninja tools contribute significantly to a person's strength. Perhaps Jonin rely on them less, but Chunin and Genin absolutely cannot ignore the role of ninja tools."

Uchiha Yoichi explained, "To give an example, if one of our clan's Chunin encounters three enemy Chunin, but he happens to have three hundred explosive tags on him..."

"."

Kenji Uchiha was speechless; this analogy almost made his brain freeze.

Even a low-quality explosive tag is more lethal than most D-rank ninjutsu, and it doesn't consume much chakra; you just need to activate it and throw it out.

Three hundred explosive tags are roughly equivalent to three hundred C-rank ninjutsu. Even a Hokage-level ninja, could he unleash three hundred fire-style ninjutsu consecutively?

"Elder Kenji, if it's about making money and indulging in pleasure, then I don't agree with it either. But having more money can increase the survival rate of our clansmen on the battlefield, which even Jonin can't ignore. If everyone had a chakra weapon or good armor, the survival rate of our clansmen would increase significantly."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Uchiha Kenji placed his teacup on the table and nodded in agreement.

Uchiha Yoichi seized the opportunity and continued, "If I want to become the clan leader, the support of the clan members is essential. Therefore, I want to establish an Uchiha welfare system to guarantee the food, clothing, and medical care of every clan member."

He then briefly explained the welfare system he wanted to build. Kenji Uchiha listened and nodded, agreeing that it was indeed a good idea that would benefit all members of the clan.

If it is completed, the entire clan will be grateful to Uchiha Yoichi.

"Furthermore, on my way here just now, I saw the clan chief's wife bringing gifts to visit Elder Kenji, the wife of Ryota-senpai. Now even Clan Chief Fugaku is trying to win over the clan members. Although I intend to keep a low profile, I don't want to do nothing while competing for the clan chief position."

Uchiha Yang said that he had the desire, but not the means.

Even Kenji Uchiha would never put someone with no battle record, no support from most of the clan members, and no merits to the clan head.

In summary, it's about gaining the respect of the masses. Uchiha Yoichi's age, battle record, and achievements did not reach the point of gaining the respect of the masses. If he could gain the respect of most Uchiha clan members, then Uchiha Fugaku would naturally not be able to become the clan leader and would have to voluntarily abdicate.

"I understand, Yangyi. Your idea is good. Although the clan is not short of money, it does not have enough money to do these things. If you can establish a welfare system for the Uchiha, then go for it."

After listening to Uchiha Yoichi's words, and considering that Yoichi also mentioned Mikoto was trying to recruit ninjas within the clan, Kenji Uchiha felt he had no reason to object and decided to fully support her.

"I will find the person or thing you need for you. You can come to me anytime if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Elder Kenji. We only need some personnel; I still have the money here."

He then wrote down the technical personnel needed. In the ninja world, televisions already existed, but computers were still the most common device; therefore, developing ninja games could only start with game consoles.

Just as Uchiha Yoichi was about to leave, Uchiha Kenji suddenly spoke up, saying, "Yoichi, those magical goats you sent have already given birth. I estimate that in two or three years, that farm will be quite large."

This is good news, but we still need to confirm whether the magical goats born in the ninja world have the same effects as their predecessors.

However, there is also natural energy in the ninja world, and the natural energy in the ninja world can make toads talk. Even if it is not as good as the Elemental Forest, it should not be far behind.

"Jonin Ikemoto, then I'll leave it to you. Let's discuss this in detail at Inoue Izakaya after get off work today."

After hearing Jonin Ikemoto's agreement, Mina Uzumaki suggested a meeting place for that evening.

There aren't many entertainment venues in Konoha Village now, only two izakayas, and not many places to eat either.

"I understand, Mina-san, I will definitely keep my promise today."

Ikemoto readily agreed, partly because he recognized Mina Uzumaki's exceptional talent in medical ninjutsu and also because of the prestige of the Uchiha clan.

Everything was agreed upon, and just as Mina was about to leave, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Ikemoto, is everything I asked for last time ready? Huh, Kushina?"

Tsunade unexpectedly discovered a red-haired figure in the room, whose hair looked very much like Kushina's; however, when she got closer, she realized she had mistaken her for someone else, it was not Kushina.

"It's all ready, I'll get it for you right away, Lady Tsunade."

When Ikemoto saw that it was Tsunade, he got up to get the medicine that Tsunade had asked for last time.

Upon seeing Tsunade arrive, Mina Uzumaki whispered, "Jonin Ikemoto, Lady Tsunade, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Ikemoto nodded and said, "You should go back now, Mina-san."

After everyone left, Tsunade withdrew her gaze. The color of that hair was too similar to Kushina's; there were very few people in Konoha with such bright red hair.

"Ikemoto, is she also from the hospital?"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, Mina-san is a genius in medical ninjutsu. She has completed the task of saving a live fish in less than a month since she arrived. Moreover, she had no medical ninjutsu foundation before this. She is much better than I was back then."

Ikemoto praised without hesitation, saying that he had spent half a year treating live fish, which was far inferior to that of Mina Uzumaki.

"Less than a month? That's quite a talent."

Tsunade was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and her curiosity about Mina, this little girl with red hair, grew stronger.
