Years of experience have taught her that only those who have self-awareness can live a "good" life.
However, the little elephant's teasing remark made her roll her eyes.
In a way, by "controlling" the Uchiha elephant, she could also be considered to indirectly control the Uchiha clan.
But she didn't say much. Instead, she sat down next to the baby elephant and peered at the information on the scrolls.
The first scroll was compiled by representatives of the grassroots tribes, who gathered many ideas and distributed them to all the attendees.
Since there is a lot of information, letting everyone take a look at it beforehand will save a lot of time during the clan meeting.
"Yes, I have a lot of ideas, and many of them seem quite feasible."
Kazuko glanced at it and muttered something in surprise.
"It's good, and most of it starts from the grassroots level, which is quite realistic, but unfortunately, not all of these contents can be approved."
Uchiha Sho calculated for a moment, then frowned and spoke.
"Although the family has various businesses, Konoha is now also providing some resources."
But the amount of money is limited, and we need to consider all aspects.
It's impossible for me to use the income of the Heavenly Court to subsidize the clan.
For now, we can only temporarily put aside some less urgent projects, try open-sourcing them for the family, and then deal with them further.
Is that so?
As Xiaoxiang's "secretary" and in charge of the Konoha Heavenly Court's business, Kazuko naturally knew a lot about these things.
"To create new sources of revenue for the Uchiha..."
In reality, the Uchiha clan was already quite wealthy, but most of their businesses were tied to Konoha.
In fact, this is not only true for the Uchiha clan, but for all the clans in Konoha.
During the Warring States period, various powerful families controlled a great deal of resources, especially iron ore, an important resource for making weapons.
However, after Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha established Konoha, they naturally couldn't let things continue like this.
Although the village relies on the daimyo's funding and the ninja world's mission quotas, the income from these mines is also an important part of the village's finances.
Each family now receives a share of the profits from the mines they originally occupied each year, along with a portion of the weapons quota.
But that's all there is to it.
Chapter 114, Danzo's Flash of Inspiration
Under the system in Konoha Village, it is extremely difficult for any major family to make more money.
This is also why other ninja clans were willing to join after Uchiha Shō reformed the security force.
This is essentially equivalent to taking a portion of the Uchiha clan's income and distributing it to other ninja clans and commoners.
Normally, doing it this way would definitely not work.
However, firstly, the Uchiha clan rationally planned the security department's system, which improved Konoha's overall business environment.
Secondly, the trade route to the Land of Grass, opened by the Trade Department of the Heavenly Court, facilitated the flow of resources between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, the Land of Earth, the Land of Waterfall, and many other countries.
The essence of commerce is the exchange and circulation of goods.
With these two things achieved by Uchiha Eizo, Konoha's commerce quickly recovered from the war and became even more prosperous.
This naturally brought more tasks, expanding the scope of the security department.
Although there were more people sharing the pie, everyone's income increased.
This is the real reason why Uchiha Sō is gradually taking over the power of the Uchiha clan.
Being an excellent leader is not enough; you also need to know how to divide the cake, how to make the cake bigger, and how to share even more cake with everyone.
The Uchiha clan's current situation is that the expenses required for clan development have exceeded their income.
Unless a windfall comes from heaven, we have no choice but to follow the little elephant's idea.
It's not that Little Elephant can't come up with the money, but the Heavenly Court is currently cooperating with the Akatsuki organization, which in itself requires a lot of money.
Moreover, relying on the clan leader to subsidize everything is inherently bad, as it fosters a dependency mentality among the Uchiha clan members.
"Elephants can be sold as weapons!"
Kazuko had no idea what the little elephant was thinking. As an outsider, she had a different perspective and asked curiously.
"The Uchiha clan used to sell weapons, so why don't they just continue selling them now?"
"Selling weapons?"
The baby elephant almost rolled its eyes when it heard this.
"Let's not even talk about how much weaponry we have after World War III. Even if we do, who to sell it to is a big problem, you know..."
Wait, who should we sell it to? Hmm... it seems there really is someone who might need a large quantity of weapons recently..."
……
Inside the palace of the daimyo in the capital of the Land of Fire.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat together with several assistants, each with a different expression.
Nara Shikaku, standing next to him, had a serious expression.
Especially after seeing Danzo's extremely ugly face, he dared not say another word.
This Elder Danzo looked extremely unpleasant from early this morning, as if he had stepped on something disgusting.
Danzo was indeed in a terrible mood because after he returned from chasing Orochimaru, he discovered that Root had been visited by several groups of people.
The only successful intercolumnar cell fusion experiment resulted in the disappearance of body A (Yamato).
The intercolumnar cell fusion laboratory has been emptied, and several root cell repositories have also been emptied.
Apart from some very well-hidden secret vaults, the root region suffered a major looting.
After tallying the losses, he was just about to go and question Hiruzen Sarutobi that evening about whether he was responsible.
As a result, the Third Hokage came with his men to question him about his human research.
He could never admit to something like this, especially since he had been keeping it a secret from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru had just defected because of this.
Even if everyone knew he was up to something, he would never admit it.
However, to his surprise, whether he admitted it or not, his three old classmates and friends seemed to have already decided on him this time.
They even issued him the most severe warning.
How could this not infuriate Danzo, who was also wondering if this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's "first strike" strategy?
However, when he learned that Uchiha Sho had been attacked during the New Year's Festival, and that the attacker possessed both Wood Release and Sharingan, he was shocked.
He could no longer control his emotions.
"I haven't done anything, why are you doubting me?"
Although Danzo knew in his heart that he had done too many bad things.
So much so that if any problem arises, he's the first person everyone thinks of.
But he dared to swear by Hiruzen Sarutobi that he had absolutely nothing to do with this matter.
Even if he has ideas, he hasn't put them into action yet.
Unfortunately, no one believed him at the time, not even his old friends and classmates.
The story of the boy who cried wolf teaches us that once your credibility collapses, no one will believe what you say.
"Damn it, it's all because I'm not the Hokage..."
Sitting in the daimyo's palace, Danzo clenched his fists; his desire for the Hokage had reached a new peak.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: since he couldn't become the next Hokage, then...
"What a pity, Hiruzen, you did a very good job as the Third Hokage."
The daimyo of the Land of Fire, sitting at the very front, fanned himself with a fan and spoke with a regretful expression.
He knew what Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were here for.
In fact, the Daimyo doesn't care who becomes Hokage.
Because the life-and-death struggles of ninjas had little impact on nobles and daimyo.
The village won, which naturally made them happy and proud.
But losing is just a loss of face; someone else will complete the mission, but no one will die.
After all, what ninjas have always been fighting for is a share of missions in the ninja world.
That's definitely impossible; they killed the person who posted the task.
Of course, the daimyo and nobles also knew that these ninjas were only superficially respecting them.
The main reason is that they control the economy and can make money.
After all, not everyone is like the idiots from the Land of Wind who would gamble like that; the ninjas wouldn't dare to mess with them if they didn't pay up.
If he were placed in the Land of Fire, and he didn't contribute money, it's very likely that his blood relatives would be chosen to become the daimyo.
As for where he went, whether he was dead or alive, neither the nobles nor the ninjas cared.
However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, still respected him quite a bit.
He also won several Ninja World Wars, which made him extremely proud.
This made him somewhat regretful, wondering what the next Hokage would be like.
However, Danzo, who was already in a bad mood, turned cold upon hearing this and glanced at him.
For a moment, the daimyo of the Land of Fire turned pale and immediately picked up a round fan to fan himself.
They use this method to cover up their embarrassment and fear.
He had also heard of Danzo's "renown".
