Konoha's Mission Master

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yakumo quickly lowered her head and started using chopsticks to cook tripe in the spicy hot pot to avoid getting involved in an unnecessary fight. She waited quietly for two seconds and swallowed it in one gulp, instantly feeling incredibly happy.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Nohara Rin, Mori Masako also started eating hot pot. In any world... children's education is a common source of conflict in families.

"Why don't we all have hot pot first?" Yakumo suggested.

The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Everyone lowered their heads and began to cook hot pot. Occasionally, there would be some squabbles. Because of their strong physiques, the people at the table preferred the spicy broth, while it seemed that only Nohara Rin liked the clear broth broth.

The group ate for more than two hours, and the waiters replenished the food three or four times before the big eaters finally felt full.

Because Itachi Uchiha was somewhat unfamiliar with most of the people present, he ate rather shyly, but he showed great interest in the milk pudding dessert.

Yakumo specially added a few more rounds for him, all of which were defeated by Itachi Uchiha.

Overall, people gave high praise to hot pot, a food similar to sukiyaki but with some differences.

Yakumo sensed that the hot pot restaurant was already packed and long queues had formed on the street. He quietly began to think about opening a branch. After all, he only needed to copy the dishes and hire people to manage it... it wouldn't affect him at all.

But after thinking it over, he finally gave up. After all, making money had no meaning for him anymore, and the hundreds of tons of gold in the storage scroll were the beginning of his boring life.

"This kind of pain... is better off without!"

"Donate it, it must be donated."

"I don't love money; money has no meaning."

"Since you don't love money and can't spend it all, why not donate it all?"

Yakumo secretly made up his mind to find a time to give these hundreds of tons of gold to Minato Namikaze so that he could use it to improve the lives of the people in Konoha.

"Itachi, would you rather walk your own path, or the path laid out by your elders?"

Obito Uchiha suddenly turned his gaze to Itachi Uchiha and asked a question that successfully disrupted the peaceful atmosphere in the private room, making it tense again.

"As for me, more than what path I take, I don't want my parents to argue because of me. Besides... I also want to realize my own dreams."

This time, Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara did not have a fight. They looked at each other with complicated expressions, lost in self-reflection.

They were originally children themselves, and suddenly became parents. Overwhelmed with joy, they didn't know how to properly raise their children to be happy and healthy, so they expressed their love in their own way.

After listening to Itachi Uchiha's words, they began to reflect on whether their way of loving their child was the way she wanted, and whether this way of loving could truly bring happiness to the child.

Clearly, the two have found the answer.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Yakumo addressed the crowd and left using spatial teleportation. Since he had decided to donate to Konoha, he would go directly to Minato Namikaze. Meanwhile, Masako Mori was secretly making plans. Kakashi's daughter was three years old.

If she gives birth to a boy, the two families can become in-laws.

That's actually a good thing.

With that in mind, she decided to have a good talk with Yakumo that evening.

On the other hand, Yakumo appeared in the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze sat behind a mountain of documents, with two shadow clones positioned beside his desk to assist him with his work, but he looked quite exhausted.

After taking office, he signed too many decrees, all of which required his personal supervision to complete. Combined with the existing paperwork, this created a huge burden.

The expansion of the two blocks, in particular, caused him some concern.

He originally thought that everyone would contribute money to build a better Konoha, but he underestimated the greed of the ninja clans.

The ninja clans all hoped to acquire large tracts of land through equity investment, but they were unwilling to spend too much money to build new districts. In other words, they relied on their wealth to negotiate with Konoha and try to lower the price as much as possible.

However, Minato Namikaze couldn't agree to their price.

That's too low.

The establishment of the new district is for the prosperity and development of Konoha, not to further enhance the influence of those already powerful ninja clans. Konoha belongs to everyone, not just a few ninja clans.

Minato Namikaze righteously rejected their conditions, and the price was that although the locations of the two districts were planned, construction never began.

"What should we do? Do we really have to apply to the daimyo?"

This was the last resort, but it was also the option that Minato Namikaze was unwilling to choose, because the Daimyo was no good person either, and doing so would be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared, and Yakumo appeared in the office. He brought new hope to Minato Namikaze, and the two had a passionate discussion about the issue for half an hour.

In the end, Yakumo couldn't resist Minato Namikaze's enthusiasm and inadvertently became the biggest landlord in the three districts, acquiring almost a third of the land in the three districts.

Konoha is responsible for operation and construction, accounting for two-thirds of the total.

Indeed, with Yakumo's strong support, Minato Namikaze decided to start construction on three major districts at the same time, and plans to open two more new districts in the future, making Konoha the most prosperous city in the world.

On the other hand, the major ninja clans of Konoha were directly kicked out of the game.

As for this... Yakumo doesn't care what those ninja clans think.

Chapter 447 Cooperation and Win-Win

When Konoha began hiring people to build the three major districts, all the ninja clans fell into chaos on the same day, wondering which clans had betrayed the alliance and made a deal with the Hokage.

However, despite using all available connections, they still couldn't find out which members of their alliance had chosen to betray them, making the already fragile alliance even more precarious.

This was also a result that Minato Namikaze was happy to see. He thoughtfully concealed Yakumo's identity, making this matter the biggest unsolved mystery in Konoha for the past ten years.

Construction began on three major districts, and Konoha began to flourish.

At this moment, the instigator of all this... Yakumo, was engaged in an extremely long battle with Buu on a rattan chair, but in the end, he was exhausted and died.

Buu's destructive power isn't that terrible; it's just that his vitality is too tenacious.

The following days passed uneventfully. Although Masako Mori was getting incredibly bored, Yakumo still didn't begin exploring any new dungeons. He always felt that the world named after death was extremely dangerous.

Yakumo cannot afford the cost of failure, so in these matters, he can only pursue...absolute safety as much as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it's June.

Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara finally reached a consensus on the Uchiha clan's desired education: the Uchiha clan wishes to learn Fire Release and Lightning Release from their father, and then have another child...

Then the new child will inherit the mother's medical ninjutsu.

This decision surprised everyone, but it seemed perfectly reasonable when applied to Obito Uchiha, as if Rin Nohara had become somewhat unreliable after marrying him.

Furthermore, Shyvana stayed in Konoha for three months before leaving again under the pretext of training.

Under the tutelage of Yukotsu Chiyuki, Itachi Uchiha's swordsmanship has steadily improved towards the master level, after all, his foundation was personally shaped by two grandmaster-level experts.

While guiding his thinking as much as possible, give him a perfect starting point.

June is an incredibly special month for Yakumo. He opened his eyes in June and transmigrated to the ninja world. June is also the anniversary of his parents' death and the day he married Mori Masako.

On June 5th, Yakumo and Mori Masako went to the Konoha Cemetery to pay their respects to their parents. As usual, they spoke in front of the tombstone about the events of the past year and their goals and aspirations for the coming year.

Upon returning home, Yakumo discovered that... Fugaku Uchiha had come to visit.

Under the eaves, there were two rattan chairs and a round table supported entirely by wood, on which were placed simple hot tea and fruit brought back from the world of One Piece.

Fugaku Uchiha was dressed in a Japanese-style black kimono with a huge black bow tied behind his back. He wore a haori with gold thread over it, and the back of the kimono had an embroidered pattern of colorful clouds and raging fire.

The Uchiha clan crest is located in the center of the back.

“Itachi’s strength has been steadily improving recently, and I estimate that in another two or three years he will have strength comparable to a Kage,” Yakumo said first.

He could probably guess why Fugaku Uchiha had come to visit.

Thanks to Yakumo, the Uchiha clan has developed quite smoothly in recent years. Even though they were severely suppressed during Orochimaru's reign, they still control one-fifth of the land deeds in the new district.

This is the foundation of Konoha's strongest ninja clan. However, in this competition for the three new districts, the Uchiha clan suffered a major setback and failed to obtain any land deeds.

After a simple investigation, Fugaku Uchiha uncovered the truth: there was only one person in Konoha who could cause all the ninja clans to fall, and that was Lord Yakumo, who was above all others.

That's why he's visiting today.

After drinking a few cups of tea and chatting, Fugaku Uchiha coughed lightly and finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Lord Yakumo, are these three major districts your doing?"

"Yes."

Yakumo nodded without hesitation, admitting that he had never intended to hide it from the beginning, because there was no need to. The thoughts of the Konoha ninja clan... were simply not important to him.

"Lord Yakumo, could you sell some land deeds? Our clan is willing to buy them at a high price."

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes lit up suddenly, and he tentatively asked in a somewhat polite manner.

“I don’t care about money at all.” Yakumo shook his head.

If he cared about money, he wouldn't have given two-thirds to Dragon; if he cared about money, he wouldn't have donated the remaining third to Konoha. In his view, so-called wealth was nothing but useless and empty pieces of paper.

"We will offer a high price."

Fugaku Uchiha instinctively felt that Yakumo thought the price was too low, after all, this is the norm in business negotiations, and he also knew that he could not control the fairness of this negotiation because he was the weaker party.

They are at a significant disadvantage in terms of both strength and status.

But he intends to pave the way with sincerity and intervene by appealing to emotions.

"Fugaku-kun, you've missed a crucial point."

"That means I have no interest in the price or money you mentioned. I'm not negotiating with Minato Namikaze, but rather helping him build three new districts through donations. As for the land deeds, they're just a token of his gratitude, and I don't care about them at all," Yakumo said seriously, waving his hand.

"You have no interest in money."

Fugaku Uchiha repeated Yakumo's words, his tone somewhat complicated. When the former builders of Konoha were hindering development for their own benefit, Lord Yakumo had stood up so selflessly.

This made him feel a moment of shame.

Of course, it was only a momentary feeling of shame. After all, he was the head of the Uchiha clan and had to be responsible for all his clan members. In his heart, the Uchiha clan was definitely above everything else.

“I roughly understand why you’ve come. I don’t intend to sell the land title.”

"Ok."

Fugaku Uchiha said with some regret, but he still tried his best to keep his expression calm.

“I have an idea. I can hand over the land deed to the Uchiha clan to manage the business, and I will give 10% of the annual profits to the Uchiha clan,” Yakumo continued.

The land deeds for the three major districts cannot remain vacant; someone needs to help manage or operate them, and the Uchiha clan, who control the security and management of the Konoha districts, is the most suitable manager.
