Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring
Chapter 132 My power as Hokage is unlimited
Chapter 132 My power as Hokage is unlimited
Although Yokogawa Sukehiro really wanted to tear up Uchiha Tokou's invitation, his reason told him that he should just go to the dinner party honestly.
After the Fire Nation moved its capital to Konoha, anyone with a discerning eye could see the huge business opportunities there, let alone a veteran like him who had been in the business world for many years.
Therefore, when he came to Konoha to set up business this time, Yokogawa Sukehiro almost used up all the liquid funds he had. This also led to the fact that after the industries in Konoha were closed, his industries in other countries were also greatly affected. In just one week, Yokogawa Daily Chemicals faced the huge problem of broken capital chain.
This is not because Yokogawa Yuhiro lacks a sense of crisis, but because he has never experienced Uchiha Tokou's methods.
With his money and status, even the daimyo of the five major countries have to receive him with courtesy, not to mention the rulers of some small countries, who sometimes have to act according to his mood. How could anyone be like Uchiha Douguang, who would turn his back on others at any time?
Although Yokogawa Sukehiro was extremely unhappy, the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to overcome the difficulties ahead.
That evening, Yokogawa Sukehiro arrived at the venue of the dinner, a newly opened high-end restaurant in Cardo, with gifts.
When Yokogawa Sukehiro arrived, Cardo was standing at the door of the restaurant, welcoming the incoming guests.
Seeing Cardo's smug look, Yokogawa Yuhiro almost gritted his teeth. It was this bastard who took the lead in taking action when his property was sealed and investigated by the security team, wielding a big knife to cut his flesh on his property, so that in less than a week, his property lost nearly 20%.
And now, it was clearly Uchiha Tokou's dinner party, but Cardo was acting as a greeter at the door. He was not even trying to act.
"President Yokokawa, how are you?" Cardo noticed Yokokawa Yuhiro and immediately walked up to him with a smile and greeted him.
"Hmph." Yokogawa Yuhiro snorted coldly, ignored Cardo, put the gift on the table at the door, and walked straight into the banquet hall.
The corner of Cardo's mouth twitched slightly after being insulted: "The barbarians from the Land of Lightning are really rude."
After Yokogawa Sukehiro entered the banquet hall, he found that almost all the people present were colleagues from their party that day. After a brief exchange of words, Yokogawa Sukehiro also found that he was not an exception. Those businessmen who had set up businesses in Konoha, as long as they did not pay the 70% tax, had their businesses attacked by the security team.
Among them, several businessmen, led by Cardo, who submitted plans to invest in the construction of the Land of Fire to the Hokage Building, were given the green light to operate in Konoha, and, under the escort of the security forces, they massively encroached on the industries of these rebels.
Yokogawa Sukehiro wanted to find some old friends to complain to. At this time, Uchiha Douguang, wearing the eye-catching robe of the Fifth Hokage and the Hokage's hat, walked into the banquet hall surrounded by a team of ninjas and sat down in the main seat with a swagger.
Seeing this, the others in the field could only keep quiet.
Uchiha Douguang took off the Hokage's hat and placed it on the table. He glanced at the people in the room and then said, "Everyone is here, so please take a seat."
As the guests took their seats, Cardo, who was sitting not far from Uchiha Douguang, clapped his hands gently, and soon a team of waiters came with a cart bringing the food and drinks.
Uchiha Douguang picked up the wine poured for him by the waiter and shook the glass gently. The dark red wine swayed slowly in the glass. Uchiha Douhuan did not speak, and the others in the scene did not dare to speak for the time being.
After a while, Uchiha Douguang finally spoke: "You are all business tycoons in the ninja world. It is an honor for the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire to have you gathered here."
"Your Excellency the Grand Minister, what are you talking about? It's our honor that you invite us together." At this time, Cardo on the side hurriedly said. His servile appearance made Yokogawa Sukehiro and others frown.
"Hey, don't be like this." Uchiha Douguang waved his hand, then looked at the other people at the long table.
"When it comes to business, I may not be as good as you guys." Uchiha Douguang said after gently shaking his wine glass, "But after becoming Hokage and being entrusted with the heavy responsibility of Grand Councillor by the late King, I also learned a few things. One of them is that the power of me, as Hokage and Grand Councillor, is unlimited."
As Uchiha Douguang finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into a strange silence.
"For example, if I lend a hand to a company, it can survive," Uchiha Douguang said. He glanced at Yokogawa Yuhiro and others who planned to resist his tax plan, drank the wine in his glass, and then said slowly, "But if I wanted to destroy a company, it wouldn't be difficult. This power is so great, don't you agree, President Yokogawa?"
Yokogawa Sukehiro's mouth twitched slightly when he was named, but when he thought about the fact that the life and death of his company was still in the hands of the other party, he could only smile and say, "Your Excellency, the Grand Minister is right."
Uchiha Douguang smiled, shook the empty wine glass, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Yokogawa Yuhiro could only stand up respectfully, take the wine from the waiter beside him, and intend to pour it for Uchiha Tokou.
However, at this time, Uchiha Douguang waved his hand and said, "I have some official business to attend to later, so I won't drink, Cardo."
"I'm here." Cardo came over with a charming smile, "What do you want, Grand Minister?"
"Please drink this glass of wine with President Yokokawa for me." Uchiha Douguang said.
Upon hearing this, Cardo looked up at Yokogawa Yuhiro with pride, and shook the wine glass in his hand.
Yokogawa Yuhiro was almost biting his teeth. Before coming to the Land of Fire, they had business dealings before. At that time, Cardo was like a stray dog on the roadside in front of him. His wealth could make Cardo bankrupt at any time as long as he wanted, but now, he had to fill Cardo's glass with wine with his own hands, and then drink his own wine in one gulp.
Only then did Uchiha Douguang reveal the slightest smile, giving Yokogawa Yuhiro and the restless businessmen a meaningful look. "Although I'm not well-educated and don't know much about business, I do understand one fundamental truth: only when the country is stable can domestic businesses have a stable environment for development and earn more money. Therefore, I believe that businesses have an obligation to give back to the country. Do you agree with me?"
"Your Excellency, the Grand Minister's words are so profound!" Cardo put down his wine glass and clapped his hands vigorously.
"Yes, yes, without the development of the country, we wouldn't be where we are today!" Several businessmen who had followed Cardo and bit off a few big pieces of meat from the opposition also stood up and cheered enthusiastically.
"Do you really think so?" Uchiha Douguang raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, this is all from the bottom of our hearts!" said Cardo.
"Very good, then, since you have already enjoyed the dividends of national development, shouldn't you do something for the country that makes you make money?" Uchiha Douguang looked at Yokogawa Yuhiro and others with a sharp gaze. In an instant, they felt as if they were being stared at by wild beasts. In just a few seconds, cold sweat wet their backs.
"If anyone feels their business doesn't have to give back to the nation after making a profit, then allowing such a business to profit would be a dereliction of duty for me, the Grand Minister. Don't you agree?" Uchiha Dohuan unleashed his unreserved murderous intent, a killing intent unbearable even for some ninjas, let alone these pampered businessmen. "Your Excellency, the Grand Minister, all this was a misunderstanding. Our Yokogawa Group is already preparing to open a factory within the Land of Fire, and the detailed plan will be delivered to your office shortly," Yokogawa Sukehiro said, falling to his knees, sweating profusely.
Others followed suit, and in an instant, a large number of people in the banquet hall knelt down.
"That's best." Uchiha Douguang said coldly, "I suggest you don't test my patience. In this world, three-legged frogs are hard to find, but there are plenty of people who want to make money. Do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand!" The person kneeling on the ground nodded hurriedly.
……
After dealing with this group of disobedient businessmen, Uchiha Douguang returned to the Hokage's office, sat for a while, and after finishing today's documents, he picked up his sword and went to Nanga Shrine alone.
Uchiha Douguang deliberately slowed down his pace. He knew that White Zetsu must be watching him, so he had to give Black Zetsu time to return to Nanga Shrine.
After receiving the news that Uchiha Tokou was heading to Nanga Shrine, Black Zetsu was also shocked and hurriedly sneaked into the shrine in advance to make preparations.
Soon, Uchiha Douguang stepped into the secret room under the shrine.
A mass of black substance also floated up on the surface of the stone tablet that had been preserved by the Uchiha clan for generations, and condensed into a human shape.
"You're here, junior." Black Zetsu lowered his voice and said, "It seems that you have completed the evolution of your eyes."
"I'm sorry to have kept my ancestors waiting for a long time." Uchiha Touma said, opening his Mangekyō Sharingan which had evolved into the Eternal Eye. Perhaps because of the special method used to advance it, the shape of the magatama in Uchiha Touma's eyes did not change much, but the human sage chakra intertwined with the pupil power in his eyes naturally brought Uchiha Touma himself into the Sage Mode after the Mangekyō Sharingan was opened.
Special eye shadow appeared around the eye sockets, and the red part of the eyes also took on a bit of golden light.
Uchiha Toukou's aura stunned Black Zetsu. The current Uchiha Toukou's aura was not inferior to that of Nagato who was currently using Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan.
"What's wrong, ancestor? Are you surprised that I succeeded?" Uchiha Douguang narrowed his eyes and said to Black Zetsu.
"That's not the case, junior. I just feel a little emotional. After all, in these thousands of years, you are the second member of our clan who can evolve the Sharingan to the level of the Eternal Eye by yourself." At this time, Black Zetsu also began to show the self-cultivation of an old actor. After sorting out his emotions, he spoke.
"Since your eyes have reached the level of the Eternal Eye, you are now qualified to see clearly the true path to peace." Black Zetsu made way, revealing the stone tablet passed down through the generations of the Uchiha clan before Uchiha Douguang. "Use your pupil power to interpret the contents of this tablet."
Uchiha Douguang stared at the stone tablet. Not long after, the words on the stone tablet began to slowly change, from how to use the blood-connected pupil power to upgrade the Sharingan, to the content of the Moon Eye Project and Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"The Moon Eye Project? That's interesting." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.
"This is the path to peace that the most outstanding geniuses of our clan from ancient times to the present have been pursuing!" said Black Zetsu.
"Including Lord Madara?" Uchiha Douguang asked.
"Of course including him, he is the one closest to success." Black Zetsu said.
"Use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a new world?" Uchiha Douguang continued Black Zetsu's words, "It sounds feasible. The current ninja world is already filled with hatred. Instead of patching it up, it's better to break it down and reshape it into a new world. Does the family actually have such power? Hahahaha!"
Uchiha Douguang raised his head and howled, which made Black Zetsu feel scared.
[Sure enough, these descendants of Indra are all psychopaths!]
"Then, what should I do?" Uchiha Douguang suddenly turned his head and looked at Black Zetsu.
"Uchiha Madara summoned the Outer Path Demon Statue in the past, and what you need to do now is to gather all nine tailed beasts and inject their chakra into it." Black Zetsu said, "In this way, you can activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Nine tailed beasts, that's a bit difficult to deal with. After all, except for the seven-tailed beast and the nine-tailed beast currently controlled by the village, the other seven tailed beasts are all in the ninja villages of the five major countries." Uchiha Toguchi pretended to be in difficulty.
"By the way, ancestor, since you said that you guided Lord Madara, then Lord Madara didn't leave any backup plan?" Uchiha Douguang looked at Black Zetsu and said.
Black Zetsu glanced at Uchiha Douguang, and after a moment's silence, he spoke: "Yes, Madara left some methods in the Land of Water and the Land of Earth. He once left a mark of pupil power in the body of the Three-Tails, so that he could influence the Jinchūriki through the Three-Tails."
"The Three-Tails' Jinchūriki?" Uchiha Douguang's eyes darkened. "I remember he's the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village now, right?"
"Yes." Black Zetsu said, "I can teach you how to control this pupil power seal."
"Then, I'll leave it to you, ancestor." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.
……
The Fire Nation is now gradually developing in the direction that Uchiha Tokou had envisioned. In a few years, when the Fire Nation completes its transformation, it will have no problem taking on the entire ninja world alone.
Therefore, what Uchiha Douguang needs now is time to develop.
To buy time, it's time to throw the enemies into chaos.
And this is also the reason why Uchiha Toguro came to act with Black Zetsu.
