Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

What if I don't pay?

Why not hand it over and keep following Nagato?

In the past, Nagato might have tied himself up first, hung him up and beaten him for three days and three nights, and then been handed back to Konoha by Uzumaki Sora.

He, like those businessmen, finally understood that if you commit a crime, you can't get caught; if you do, you can forget about escaping.

When facing a behemoth like Konoha, the best approach is to reason with them. If you don't reason with them in the first place, then there's no reasoning to be had.

Then Shikaku gave a number, and Kakashi immediately took out Obito's 'very' secret stash of money from the alternate dimension.

This scene caused Obito's eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

How did you find out?

Kakashi casually replied, "A bunch of Rin's photos and other random stuff, and a cubic stone on top of that in an empty space. Anyone with a brain knows there's something wrong with what's underneath, right?"

Obito remained silent, but his hands clenched tightly.

Be patient! You must be patient!

After a while, Minato stepped forward and patted Obito on the shoulder earnestly: "Although you are a bit old, Rin is still young. Making money and getting married is a good thing, but you have to walk the right path."

Unbeknownst to him, several short swords pierced Obito's chest, nearly causing him to suffer internal injuries.

He looked up at his teacher: If you can't speak properly, can you at least speak less?

……

With the matter resolved, Kakashi led Obito out of the Hokage Building.

Kakashi, a passerby, continued to ramble on, trying to persuade Obito.

"Such a big house is useless. It's just that it's warm in winter and cool in summer, and you can swim in it. Do ninjas need to swim?"

"Although the workload has decreased now, and you can't openly leave the village, the jobs in the village like garbage disposal, childcare, and steel forging still pay..."

"Earn a little bit more, and in ten years you'll be able to afford a house, right?"

"Lin will be in her twenties by then, which will be just right."

"Obito... come to think of it, aren't you getting a bit old?"

Seeing that his friend didn't reply, Kakashi looked over in confusion: "Obito?"

He slightly raised his head, and Obito's kaleidoscope came into view.

"Kakashi...you idiot!"

After uttering a string of words, Obito grabbed Kakashi and headed straight for the other dimension.

An hour later, the two emerged from the alternate dimension.

At this moment, Kakashi's headband was gone, one of his eyes was bruised and the other swollen, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and there were large bumps on his head.

Obito wasn't much better off; his face was also swollen like a pig's head, and his straw hat had long since been reduced to dust.

Just then, Rin Nohara also arrived at the Hokage Building and paused for a moment when she saw the two of them.

"You guys...fought? I heard that Obito, Kakashi took you to the Hokage Building, so I rushed over, only to find you fighting right here in front of the Hokage?"

Obito and Kakashi exchanged a glance.

←_←Lin→_→

After letting out a breath, Lin placed her hands on their shoulders: "It's good to see you're both alright. After all these years, how come you're still the same?"

Obito glanced at his best friend: "That bastard, he made me prepare... uh... anyway, that bastard cheated me out of my money, my hard-earned money..."

Kakashi was about to speak when he tugged at the wound on his lip and bared his teeth: "Heh... Others earn a hundred million in one go, and you think you're making a profit by running errands for eight million? Foolish Obito, can't you be a little smarter?"

"what!!"

This only made Obito even more furious.

Back then, he was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, and he could easily fool Nagato. But now he's been fooled by an ordinary person.

Simply unbearable!

Obito, furious, was about to cause trouble when Kakashi stopped him.

What do you want to do?

"It's none of your business!"

→_→←_←

Staring at each other, Nohara Rin used a lot of strength to separate the two.

Finally, through Kakashi's explanation, Rin learned what had happened.

then……

"You want to go to them and ask them for money?"

"Mmm." Submissive, yet aggrieved.

"They definitely won't pay the fines you paid, and they might not even have any more. So what do you plan to do? Beat them up to vent your anger?"

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Kakashi chimed in, "Then they get caught by the security forces, and then either they get their forgiveness or they get locked up for fifteen days?"

Obito glared at Kakashi: "Shut up, you bastard! If it weren't for you, would I have been arrested?"

Rin Nohara quickly blocked their view, then looked at Obito and said, "Kakashi's words have certain consequences. Even if you escape using another dimension, how will you come back?"

"Moreover, given the current situation, the village, as well as the teachers and higher-ups, still need caravans to transport the research department's outputs to various parts of the ninja world."

"If a ninja can attack a caravan at will without being punished, it will affect the opinions of other caravans."

After he finished speaking, Obito fell silent.

World peace, no war, Rin, and Kakashi, that bastard.

Why would I go out into a world like this?

But what about the money next?

Looking at Rin who was so close, Obito couldn't figure out how to make money to buy a big house.

Kakashi was silent for a while, then thought for a moment and said, "I can't use the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities without limit, but you can use it frequently because you had the First Hokage's cells transplanted. In this case, you can actually do transportation work, as long as you don't escape death."

"However, you can't openly appear in other ninja villages, since those events happened not long ago. So..."

There was silence for a while.

After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, Obito grew impatient: "So what? Tell me!"

Kakashi shrugged: "So there's nothing we can do for now. You'll only be able to freely appear in other places once those memories fade."

"In fact, even now, if it weren't for Yun's presence, there would be quite a few people who want to assassinate you."

Nohara Rin was a little worried and looked at Obito to comfort him, saying, "It's okay if we don't have money. We're still alive now, which is already very lucky compared to so many of our contemporaries back then."

Chapter 449: The Black-Hearted Nara

"call……"

Minato stood up and stretched, glancing out of the window of the Hokage's office. Below, his three disciples were still whispering among themselves.

However, judging from the pig-headed appearances of Kakashi and Obito, they must have just had a fight.

Looking at Lin sitting between the two, one can imagine that if it weren't for her, there would probably be a fight going on.

Although he failed to protect them at that time, Minato was still very clear about the personalities of his three disciples.

At that moment, Shikaku, standing beside Minato, also looked over.

"The housing prices in Konoha are indeed getting higher and higher."

"The expanded area can be used to designate more than ten plots of land, which can solve part of the funding problem for the tram planning."

"The new residents need houses. The original population of Konoha has a near-zero mortality rate due to peace. The new generation will also need houses as they grow up."

Lu Jiu's gaze gradually turned serious: "With abundant resources, the population growth is explosive. If a couple has four children, the population will double in twenty years. People who have transitioned from war to peace have a high enthusiasm for having children."

“In this case, the new generation will need housing again in just twenty years. Two, four, four, sixteen, forty years, if they are all boys, then a family of two will become twenty-six people.”

"Even if you have two children, and half of them are girls, it will still be two, one, one, two, and in forty years, there will be six people."

“Recently, the prices of necessities such as food and clothing in the commercial district have started to rise, and this trend is already evident.”

Minato rubbed his forehead; he felt his hair was falling out much faster these past few years.

The golden glitter is almost gone, leaving only glitter and no longer the gold.

"What did the Ministry of Economic Development say?"

"We cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. The economy needs to develop steadily. The advice given is that after the tram plan is completed, subsequent plans need to be smoothly transitioned."

As Yun once said: Professional matters should be handled by professionals, regardless of their strength. Once the general direction is planned, the pace should be slowed down, and their opinions should be respected.

After the two talked for a while, Minato frowned, still racking his brains about where to find the remaining funding gap in the tram plan.

After all, the decision to slow down has just been made, so it's impossible to issue an order now for Konoha to continue expanding its territory.

Shikaku looked down at Obito: "I remember Yun saying that when you're short of money, don't focus on the lower class, but on the truly wealthy."

Minato paused, then said, "You're not planning to attack your own Nara family, are you? I heard your deer antlers are selling very well lately."

Uh……

Shikaku fell silent.

“The Uchiha clan pays taxes on time, and although they earn a lot, if you don’t have a legitimate reason, Yun could probably sue you,” Minato reminded him again.

Shikaku smiled wryly: "Playing tricks under the rules, Yun, who participated in the rule-making process, is definitely more familiar with the rules. I wasn't thinking about the Uchiha, after all, it's just an upscale residential area and a fried chicken shop. Those who make nearly two or three times the profit by buying low and selling high are still the traveling merchants."

……

Rin treated him to some food, but Obito, still looking dejected, returned to the memorial stone.

Obito leaned casually against his own memorial stone, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

The ninja world is at peace now. Nagato's leg has been healed by Uzumaki Sora, and Yahiko is alive again. Those three bastards are probably running rampant in the Land of Rain right now.
