Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Alright, but the first batch of new products needs to be put out to market immediately tomorrow. If there are any problems with these new products, they can be returned or exchanged."

Amado immediately nodded. He understood what "taking the wind" meant: to show the two Kage a new look, so they would understand that Konoha had been upgraded while their village remained the same.

Out of consideration for the reputation of the Great Ninja Village, even if Tofu didn't mention the matter of the second-generation electric device, the two Kage would bring it up themselves.

Chapter 368 Trade-in

Amado immediately nodded. He understood what "taking the wind" meant: to show the two Kage a new look, so they would understand that Konoha had been upgraded while their village remained the same.

Out of consideration for the reputation of the Great Ninja Village, even if Tofu didn't mention the matter of the second-generation electric device, the two Kage would bring it up themselves.

"Alright, then I'll have them rush to make another batch. Otherwise, let alone attracting the attention of the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, they'll probably be sold out as soon as they start selling."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "You can decide for yourself. I trust you completely with this matter."

Amado smiled upon hearing this; the two brothers had never quarreled in all these years.

Perhaps it's because whatever Amado wants to do, Qufeng will unconditionally support him. Even if he fails in the end and doesn't get good results, Qufeng won't care. He will only comfort Amado by saying that it's a valuable experience.

Qu Feng wasn't too concerned about profits. Although Qu Feng provided all the blueprints and factories, he still split the profits 50/50 with Amado.

You should know that the electrical appliances produced by the factory are sold throughout the entire ninja world. Even just 10% of the profit is something that ordinary people can only dream of in a lifetime.

But the essence of wind-catching lies not in these things at all.

"By the way, brother, how did your talks go today?"

When this was brought up, Qu Feng realized that he had been so focused on talking about appliances that he hadn't told Amado about the discussions at the banquet that day.

"The ambitions of Amegakure have been brought to the forefront. This war is inevitable; it's only a matter of time before it breaks out."

Amado initially thought it was just a minor skirmish, a lesson to be learned, but he never expected it to escalate to the point of war.

"Is Amegakure really that confident? Do they dare to wage war against three countries at the same time?"

Qu Feng shrugged: "That's also something I don't understand. I don't know what Hanzo is up to."

Even with Isshiki Otsutsuki's subordinates as his backers, it wouldn't be enough for him to wage war against three major ninja villages at the same time.

After years of recuperation, each village could probably send out 10,000 ninjas. With an army of 30,000 pressing in, could the small village of Amegakure handle it?

Hanzo may have other plans, but I'm not afraid of him. I'll just use whatever moves I have.

"Alright, I'll go back and rest for a while. This afternoon, you should release the news that the second-generation appliances will be sold soon and generate some buzz in the village."

Amado nodded: "Okay, I understand. Brother, you should go and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng went into the courtyard, set up a rocking chair in front of his house, lay down on it, and closed his eyes to rest.

Amado, on the other hand, went to the factory in Konoha Village.

Because the factory produces electrical appliances and emits some waste gas, it has been moved to the back mountain of Konoha Village in order not to affect the daily lives of the villagers or the image of Konoha Village.

It was a woodland that had never been developed, and Future Wind had no plans to develop residential areas there, so they simply moved all the factories there.

In this way, the workers won't have to travel too far to and from get off work, and the factory's emissions and noise won't affect the village.

After Amado pushed open the factory gate, a young man with blue hair walked over.

"Second Brother Amado, what brings you here?"

Amado patted Kato Heng on the shoulder: "Your brother, Tofu, asked me to tell you that we're going to sell second-generation electronics tomorrow, so we need to finish producing enough goods today. If possible, have everyone work overtime."

Kato Hisashi nodded: "That's not a problem. The villagers should be happy if the overtime pay is doubled."

Amado waved his hand and said, "Let's do it this way. Our factory has enough funds, and we can't let the villagers suffer. But if anyone is lazy or tries to cheat, you have to find them out. If they are caught twice in a row, they will be fired."

"Alright, second brother, leave it all to me."

Although Kato Hisashi's talent as a ninja is not great, he has been training for many years and has already reached the level of a genin.

So they still have some say in this factory.

Moreover, since everyone is from the same village and has a good relationship, they will naturally give each other some face.

"Come on, take me to see the finished products. These goods are part of the eldest brother's plan, and we can't afford any mistakes."

Hearing this, Kato Hisashi also became serious: "Alright, second brother, come with me. The finished products have all been packaged and put in the warehouse."

Led by Kato Hisashi, the two arrived at the warehouse where the goods were stored.

Open a box randomly, and inside is a washing machine.

The exterior is metallic, with embedded blue LED strips. As soon as it is powered on, the entire washing machine will instantly light up with a blue glow.

This inspiration, which Amado drew from replicators, fits perfectly into these appliances, even adding a touch of futurism.

However, he wasn't quite sure whether the villagers liked it or not.

Consider it an experiment.

"Not bad, there are no flaws in the workmanship. Let's pack it up. Get up early tomorrow and notify the shop owners to come and pick up the goods."

After Kato Hisashi repacked the washing machine, he said to Amado, "Second brother, you stay here and watch over it. I'm going to the factory to talk to the workers."

"Okay, go ahead."

There is more than one factory in the back mountain. As the manager, Kato Hisashi is quite busy every day, constantly moving between the various factories to supervise them.

Therefore, Toruka treated him very well, and Kato Hisashi had watched Toruka grow up since he was a child, and trusted him very much, which is why he let him manage the factory.

This saved both Qu Feng and Amado a lot of effort.

After taking care of all these matters, Amado returned to the village.

Before he even went to the factory, he had already spread the word, and now the village was already talking about the second-generation appliances.

"Hey! Look, isn't that Lord Amado? Why don't we just go and ask him?"

Amado, who had just come down from the mountain, hadn't even reacted when the villagers surrounded him.

"Lord Amado, what does this 'second-generation appliance' mean? Is it a new product?"

Amado was taken aback when he heard this, but then smiled and said, "It's my fault for not explaining clearly. I developed a second-generation version based on the previous home appliances. It is more practical and has a more beautiful appearance, but the price has increased a bit."

"Oh, I see. My washing machine has been making a rattling noise lately, so I might as well get a new one."

At this moment, Amado said, "The Hokage has proposed a preferential policy: all usable first-generation appliances can be used as a 1,000-ryo voucher, which he calls a trade-in program."

Chapter 369 Reaching Cooperation

At this moment, Amado said, "The Hokage has proposed a preferential policy: all usable first-generation appliances can be used as a 1,000-ryo voucher, which he calls a trade-in program."

Some villagers smiled immediately upon hearing this, as their household appliances were quite old and, although still functional, had developed many problems.

This is a perfect opportunity to trade in my old item for something new, and I can get a thousand taels of silver in return! This stuff has been used for so many years, it's definitely not worth a thousand taels. I'm really taking advantage of the Hokage this time.

"However, I need to tell everyone that if you are interested in buying, remember to line up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, because the first batch is limited and you may not be able to buy any."

"But it doesn't matter. We can start full-scale production next week. It's just a week away."

Hearing Amado's words, the villagers felt relieved. Some of them didn't want to move at all in the morning, and making them line up would be worse than killing them.

So some people chose to wait a week, but most wanted to be the first to experience the second-generation appliances, and they rushed home to share the news with their families.

The day passed quickly, and the next day, just as dawn broke, the owners of the electrical appliance stores drove their oxcarts up the mountain.

The goods were all large items, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines. I certainly didn't have the strength to carry them myself, so I had to use an oxcart to haul them.

By the time they descended the mountain, it was already dawn, and the morning market in Konoha Village had opened. However, they didn't have time to eat; they needed to work with the workers to neatly stack the goods together.

There were only a little over three thousand items in total, and each boss only received a few hundred, but the number of villagers queuing up far exceeded the number of items.

At this point, it all comes down to who arrives first.

The appliances that were supposed to go on sale at 10:00 AM had people lining up as early as 8:30 AM, even earlier than the time recommended by Amado.

When the sale officially started, long queues formed in front of every shop, and some people, even knowing they wouldn't get a turn, still wanted to take a look.

The Kazekage had already eaten breakfast bought by his attendants at his residence. They would stay in Konoha for another day or two to recover from their travels before setting off again.

"Why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"

Upon hearing the Kazekage's question, the attendant immediately replied, "Lord Kazekage, it's because Lord Amado of Konoha Village has started selling a new batch of electrical appliances, and everyone is scrambling to buy them."

"Oh? There's something exciting going on? Let's go take a look."

Onoki shared the same idea as the Kazekage, and the two left their residence one after the other, strolling through the streets of Konoha Village.

Not long after, the two met again.

"Isn't this Lord Tsuchikage? You were also attracted by these second-generation electronics?"

Onoki laughed: "Of course, everyone in Konoha is talking about this now, so I naturally want to see it too. But it's probably too late to queue up now. Why didn't I hear about it yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ying also showed a regretful expression: "Yes, I just took a look from afar. Those appliances are simply like works of art, but unfortunately the crowd was too overwhelming, and I couldn't get close."

Onoki's eyes darted around: "Why don't we go and bother the Hokage? There are still some things we haven't discussed regarding trade between our three villages."

Upon hearing this, the Kazekage immediately smiled and said, "Alright, Lord Hokage should be in his office at this time. Let's go."

And so, the two headed to the Hokage Building. The guarding ninjas, seeing that it was two Kage, went up to ask them questions.

"What brings you two gentlemen here?"

Onoki put his hands behind his back and said, "We're here to discuss various business matters with the Hokage. Let me inform him."

"I see. Please come in, gentlemen. The Hokage is upstairs."

"Shouldn't we inform them?" Fengying asked.

The guard scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Lord Hokage's perception is superb. He already knew you two had arrived here. I was just doing my duty."

This answer left the Kazekage and Tsuchikage somewhat amused and exasperated: "You young man are really too honest. I'm afraid you'll suffer for it later. As a ninja, you have to be careful."

Afterwards, the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, along with their entourage, went to the office on the second floor.

"Lord Hokage, we apologize for our intrusion; we hope we haven't disturbed your work."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "Of course not, please have a seat, gentlemen."

With a wave of his hand, he summoned two white clouds that flew out of his sleeves and transformed into two chairs.

Seeing this, Fengying squeezed the chair and found that it was no different from an ordinary chair, so she sat down.
