Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 305: Changes and Cake, a trap that has been laid long ago!
In mid-August of the 28th year of Konoha, the construction and renovation project of the 8th phase of the first twelve districts planned by Liu Mang was completely completed.

At the same time, due to the work of the Hokage Building, the number of people living in the first twelve districts has increased greatly.

A large number of Fire Nation nobles bought houses and properties here. Although they don't live here permanently, as long as they come here for a few months every year, the entire Konoha is full of wealth.

The actions of the nobles not only led to more than 15 people settling in Konoha, but also a large number of businessmen who keenly smelled business opportunities came to Konoha to invest and do business, which greatly optimized Konoha's industrial structure.

The influx of a large number of people and capital has undoubtedly increased the size of the cake.

Liu Mang took the opportunity to expand his own business empire. Based on the hot pot restaurant, he built 12 small commercial complexes on the land that Qianshui had previously purchased, which had a large area of ​​land left after the hot pot restaurant was built. The complexes covered business, office, residence, hotel, exhibition, catering, conference, entertainment and other aspects.

Here, all kinds of goods in Konoha Village are gathered, and since it was built entirely by Liu Mang himself, he can decide everything inside, such as pricing.

The land in Konoha was too cheap before, resulting in Liu Mang holding a large amount of idle land.

If these lands are not utilized, it will greatly affect the overall image of the first twelve districts. Liu Mang simply built these 12 complexes according to modern standards.

Since the construction requirements are relatively high, ordinary ninjas cannot handle it.

It was another dark and windy night. Liu Mang came to a familiar place with the skills of building commercial complexes which had been advanced from the skills of building three-story buildings.

Three years later, Liu Mang's chakra capacity was no longer what it used to be. He didn't even need to put his hands together. He could just stomp his feet and a huge building complex would rise from the ground.

Various buildings with different functions and forms but all in the same style fill the reserved land.

On an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, the complex of buildings combining Chinese and Western styles is magnificent. The tallest building has seven floors, which is taller than the Hokage Building.

The lowest one has three floors, not much shorter than a hot pot restaurant.

Moreover, Liu Mang’s products are definitely high-quality. The appearance looks very grand, and the interior decoration is even more luxurious.

Since it doesn't cost any money, Liu Mang naturally strives for perfection and uses the best ingredients. Combined with his craftsmanship, it is simply a work of art.

However, this may be the last time he builds a house himself.

His productivity alone is greater than the sum of the entire ninja world. It's okay to occasionally build some buildings for his own use, but if he really wants to develop them himself, it will greatly squeeze the development space of the ninja world's construction industry.

Moreover, he built these buildings at no cost and without spending any money. They had no driving effect on the economy, but they actually occupied market space, which was not good for the economy.

In addition to the commercial complex he himself managed, Liu Mang also ordered Qianshui to open various stores at the same time, covering the entire 24 districts of Konoha.

The commercial complex is a high-end industry he built for his business empire and can be considered a business card, but making money cannot be limited to the complex.

A large number of weapon stores, armor stores, electrical appliance stores, furniture stores, clothing stores, hotels, pharmacies, hospitals, etc. appeared in Konoha, and a large number of supporting factories had also completed site selection and started construction.

At the same time, Liu Mang's development plan for the post-12 areas has been placed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in the form of a blueprint.

Sarutobi held his pipe in his mouth, puffing out smoke and thinking about the pros and cons of the 12 districts after Hyuga's development.

The advantage is naturally that Konoha will be developed to benefit all Konoha people, but the disadvantage is that the already huge Hyuga will have greater power.

In the early stages of the construction of the first twelve districts, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very supportive of Hyuga's development plan. The Ninja Clan paid for the construction of Konoha, and the Hokage Building seized the results. It was simply pie in the sky.

But now he doesn't think so anymore. After three years of development work, Hyuga's reputation in Konoha Village has gradually caught up with the Hokage Building.

During the three years of construction, there were about one to two thousand ninjas recruited, including many pillars of strength at the Jonin level.

These ninjas might have been impressed by Hyuga's wealth and basically stood on Hyuga's side. He, the dignified Hokage, asked them to find out Hyuga's secrets while they were working on the construction, but no one agreed!

Sarutobi was so angry that he broke his pipe on the spot. After a period of rage, he had no choice but to give up.

After waiting for a lot of effort to complete the construction of the first twelve districts, he thought Hinata would be sensible and stop on his own initiative, but now it seems that he still underestimated Hinata's appetite.

Judging from the absolute strength, Konoha's overall strength has undoubtedly increased greatly after the development of Hyuga. The strength of the Hokage Building alone has increased by no less than 50%.

But the relative strength has weakened.

Before development, the Hokage Building accounted for 70% of the total strength of Konoha, the remaining 30% was divided among the Uchiha clans (10%), the Hyuga clan (3%), and the remaining 17% among the various ninja clans outside the Hokage Building.

But now the situation has changed. The Hyuga's strength has greatly expanded in the past three years, accounting for an astonishing 20% ​​of Konoha's total strength, while the Hokage Building's share has dropped to 65%.

The Hokage Building and the Hyuga clan alone account for 85% of the strength, and the remaining 15% is shared by the Uchiha and other free ninja clans.

The Uchiha and other ninja clans did not participate in the three years of development, resulting in their lagging behind in strength. The total share has dropped from 27% three years ago to 15% now.

In other words, in terms of strength, one Hyuga is stronger than the Uchiha and all the free ninja clans!

This is already a very dangerous signal. If the Hinata is allowed to continue to expand, it will sooner or later compete with the Hokage Building, which is something Sarutobi Hiruzen does not want to see.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself, "It seems that development needs to be done with everyone involved."

Three years ago, I was short-sighted. I only saw the benefits brought by development, but did not realize the hidden dangers of all the shares falling into the hands of one company.

Now that he has come to his senses, there is no way he will allow Hinata to do anything to him.

"Come here, call a meeting of all the major ninja clans. I have some ideas to discuss with the clan leaders regarding the development of the 12 districts behind Konoha." Sarutobi suddenly said to the empty doorway.

A figure wrapped in a black robe and wearing an animal mask on his face appeared on one knee: "Yes!"

With a whoosh, the figure disappeared again.

Sarutobi sighed: "What a fast body-flickering technique! If combined with his sharp swordsmanship, even I would find it difficult to deal with it. Hatake Sakumo, the Hatake family really has a great man."

That's right, the person who left before was Hatake Sakumo, who was dubbed "Konoha White Fang" by the enemy in the original work. Now Hatake Sakumo is just 18 years old, and his strength is already at a level that even Sarutobi Hiruzen has to be cautious of.

By the time the Second Ninja World War broke out around the 36th year of Konoha, the 26-year-old Hatake Sakumo was able to make his enemies understand how terrifying he was.

At that time, he had a good chance of success even if he assassinated the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is genius, Sarutobi exclaimed.

Fortunately, Hatake Sakumo is indeed a genius, but his three disciples are not much worse.

Thinking of his three disciples, Sarutobi showed an expression that was both relieved and headache-inducing.

This year, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are already 18 years old. Although their strength is not as great as the terrifying Hatake Sakumo, they are also real elite jonin.

With the three of them joining forces, even Hatake Sakumo is no match for them, at least they have the power to counterattack.

It was that character that made Sarutobi really confused as to how he had managed to teach such a few things.

Not to mention Orochimaru, he is naturally cold and rude to everyone except himself and his two teammates, and his interpersonal relationships are worrying.

Jiraiya, that really opened Sarutobi's eyes. At such a young age, he was imitating him, ahem, imitating others to peek at beautiful women taking a bath, and even drawing them. It shocked him for a hundred years.

Moreover, he has a very erratic personality and is not tolerant at all.

As for Tsunade, trapped in the spiral of family and village, she shouldered the burden of the family on her own and stabilized the rear for her younger brother.

She herself was very much in favor of becoming a ninja, but the elders in her family disagreed, thinking that the Senju bloodline was already as solid as a rock, and that now they needed to consider revitalizing the family's reputation and returning to the top of the ninja world.

Until now, she has not found her own way and is still moving forward amidst contradictions.

Besides, Mito-sama hasn't been alive for many years.

Sarutobi suddenly sighed. Hashirama Senju's wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito, was the only remaining master from the Warring States period in Konoha.

This old lady really helped me a lot during the First Ninja World War. Without her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sit firmly on the position of Hokage.

Whether as her own elder, as Tsunade's grandmother, or as the elder of Konoha, or as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito's role is irreplaceable.

With her around, Konoha's power was unprecedentedly concentrated, and even the Uchiha were obedient. Once she died, Konoha's cohesion would not only fall apart, but it would also be much less cohesive, and it would be difficult to imagine the unity and solidarity of the First Ninja World War.

Once she dies, I'm afraid the Second Ninja World War will not be far away.

Sarutobi suddenly felt urgent, realizing that a moment of change was about to come.

Before that, the construction of the 12 districts behind Konoha must be completed, and then we can concentrate on preparing for the possible war.

Soon, the heads of the major ninja clans gathered together to discuss the construction and renovation plan for the 12 districts behind Konoha.

They did not participate in the development of the first 12 districts three years ago, and now they regret it as they see the rapidly growing Hokage Building and Hinata.

Now that the Third Hokage has taken the initiative to invite them to share a piece of the pie of the last 12 districts, they are naturally ecstatic and eager to participate.

The representative of Hyuga this time was not the elder of the main family, but Sensui.

After three years, the Hyuga family had already realized Liu Mang's invincibility and wanted to make him the head of the family through a referendum a year ago.

However, Liu Mang refused on the grounds that he was carved as a bird in a cage and could no longer fulfill the responsibilities of the head of the family.

The Great Elder slapped himself a few times at the meeting. He regretted it so much. Why did he rape the head of the family according to the order of seniority and legitimacy, and couldn't wait to put the caged bird on the rape bed? Now, there are only two words: regret!

Liu Mang has his reasons for not taking over the Hyuga family now. He already has two thousand ninjas under his command, including nearly a hundred senior ninjas alone.

This salary expense has already squeezed out a lot of the funds he planned to use for construction. If he takes over Hyuga, he will not be able to make ends meet.

After all, the properties Hinata already owns cannot be counted towards him, and the system does not recognize such inherited money.

In short, before achieving the goal of 1000 billion in annual profits, he will not consider taking over these forces with their own industries.

However, although he was not the head of the family, everyone treated him as the head of the family. The status of his personal maid rose rapidly, and even meetings like this were attended by her.

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen divided the development work of the last 12 areas according to the blueprint provided by Liu Mang. Each ninja clan took on projects of varying sizes according to their strength. The largest share was taken by the Hokage Building and the ninja clans under its command, followed by large clans such as the Uchiha, and then small independent clans.

As the Hyuga clan was fully responsible for all the preliminary work, even the plan was made by others, but they only got a mere 10% of the share. Even though Qianshui had known that this would be the result, he was still indignant.

She slammed the table and left, not giving Sarutobi Hiruzen any face at all.

Sarutobi knew he was in the wrong, but for the sake of Konoha's justice, he was willing to bear all the blame.

The construction of Konoha's 12th district began in full swing. After Hinata's inspiration, everyone discovered the convenience of ninjas in this regard.

Especially for the senior ninjas who have a deep understanding of the changes in properties and forms, they are worth ten thousand alone and can be called architectural gods.

In January of the 29th year of Konoha, the 1th phase of the development of Konoha's twelve districts was all started, and Konoha suddenly had a huge number of ninja tasks to cooperate with the construction.

Almost all ninjas gave up other tasks and shifted their work focus to construction tasks that were close to the work location, had high remuneration, and were not dangerous.

During the construction, a large number of ninjas looked back on their lives and suddenly realized: I can do other things besides killing people!

Ninjas, you can't spend your whole life killing people and setting fires, right?

The trap that Liu Mang left for Konoha, or for the entire ninja world, is irreversible!
What kind of impact will the awakened ninja bring to the world? Liu Mang himself cannot grasp it.
