Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Uchiha Nan made a promise, not only for himself, but also for his clan, and of course, for Konoha.

In the original story, after Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage, the Senju and Uchiha clans were wiped out. The only ones left to feast on the aftermath of the fall of these two powerful clans were the Sarutobi clan.

Damn, he fed his own clan, but Konoha gradually weakened.

"Of course I believe in Lord Uchiha Nan."

Tomita Uchiha had great confidence in Nan Uchiha. With the Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, who in Konoha could stop Nan Uchiha?

"Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, these are the documents that the clan leader needs to process."

Uchiha Tomita brought over another stack of papers, which were documents that Uchiha Tomita usually needed to process.

There are all sorts of things: promotions for Uchiha police officers, patrolling the streets of Konoha, and espionage arrests.

There's also the family business, and the important guests that the patriarch must meet. These guests are, of course, either rich or noble, and are all big merchants and nobles from the Land of Fire.

The most recent one is the day after tomorrow. It's a big businessman who has been cooperating with the Uchiha clan and is responsible for supplying them with iron, the raw material for making weapons. I guess he's coming to collect a debt.

The Uchiha clan had been in debt for almost six months. The last time they came, Tomita Uchiha drank with them until late at night before finally settling the matter, saying all the right things and managing to delay it for a while.

Of course, this mess is now a headache for Uchiha Nan.

Chapter 24 The ninja world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own. This world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social customs. The ninja world is no exception.

What is the purpose of a person's lifelong struggle?

That's money, of course!

The ninjas fought until their brains were practically turned to mush, that makes sense!

They work in high-risk industries just to earn a life-threatening fortune and live a carefree life.

The current predicament of Konoha, apart from personnel issues, boils down to one word: no money.

But money brings manpower. With money, what's the big deal about one ninja village fighting four? Let's see who can outlast whom.

If there were enough funds, how comfortable would it be if each person carried dozens or even hundreds of explosive tags and threw a few at anyone they met?

Unfortunately, such an extravagant idea is unlikely to be realized.

Uchiha Nan leaned back in his chair, the table in front of him was filled with all kinds of dishes, which looked and smelled delicious. The most important thing was that this place was the most luxurious hotel in Konoha, used to meet important Uchiha guests.

This one table of food, in this one place, cost a whopping 30,000 taels, leaving Uchiha Nan speechless.

Uchiha Nan's net worth is so high that he can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver even for a regular A-rank mission, so eating this meal would be very painful for him.

Eating like this every day could bankrupt Uchiha Nan. Fortunately, Uchiha Nan doesn't have to pay for it herself, as the clan pays the bill, since it's Uchiha business.

"The guest who is coming soon is named Fujii Hiroki. His family, the Fujii family, has contracted a large iron mine in the Land of Fire and has been cooperating with the Uchiha clan."

"Their family has connections; they hold high-ranking positions in the Land of Fire."

"He's a very good-tempered person, and I get along well with him."

Uchiha Tomita introduced Fujii Hiroki from the side, covering his family background and personal preferences in a comprehensive and meticulous manner, carefully instructing Uchiha Nan.

Dealing with these powerful families of the Land of Fire is not as simple as being a ninja.

A ninja only needs to kill people, but a clan leader has to consider many more things.

Since Uchiha Nan has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and is the future of the Uchiha clan, he will teach Uchiha Nan his experience as clan leader without reservation for the sake of the Uchiha clan.

For this social gathering, Uchiha Tomita specifically came with Uchiha Nan. They owed the Fujii family so much money, and it had been dragging on for so long, so they probably would say some unpleasant things at the dinner table.

Tomita Uchiha feared that Uchiha Kusunoki, being young and impulsive, would rely on his strength and draw his sword to kill Fujii Hiroki. The scene of Uchiha Kusunoki throwing Lava Release into the crowd was still fresh in his mind.

It's clear that Uchiha Nan has a bad temper, and we can't judge him by the standards of the Uchiha Nan of the past.

If they actually killed someone, that would be a huge problem. If they couldn't collect the debt and the Uchiha killed the creditor, the powerful figures of the Land of Fire could join forces to shut down the Uchiha family's business.

We can't set such a bad precedent; even the powerful and influential in the Land of Fire are afraid.

To prepare for this great war, every one of the five great ninja villages is now drowning in debt. If they all started to follow the Uchiha's example and killed creditors when they came to collect debts, how would the powerful figures in those countries survive?

If the Uchiha dare to be unreasonable and act as the ringleader, then the daimyo of various countries will unite and show the Uchiha the power of money. Bounties will be issued like raindrops, making the Uchiha suffer the consequences.

No matter how strong the Uchiha clan is, it is still just a ninja clan.

Uchiha Nan listened attentively to Uchiha Tomita's teachings. It was clear that Uchiha Tomita was genuinely trying to teach him how to be a competent clan leader, and he learned a great deal about the secrets of the Fire Country's nobles.

It's something a low-level ninja who only knows how to kill people will never encounter in their lifetime.

Suddenly the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a round figure and slightly overweight body walked in. His clothes were smart and bright, and he looked like he was rich and noble.

"Tomita, it's been a long time!"

"Long time no see!" Uchiha Tomita greeted him, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, introduced Uchiha Kusunoki, the new head of the Uchiha clan.

Fujii Hiroki's expression changed slightly, and he immediately introduced himself to Uchiha Nan with a smile.

Uchiha Nan naturally joined in the conversation with great enthusiasm. In his previous life, Uchiha Nan had worked in sales, so he was very familiar with this kind of scene.

Before this lifetime, he had been diligently honing his killing skills, researching how to kill people efficiently.

But now, their past professional ethics have suddenly come out, all they do is fawn over the client.

Uchiha Nan was very skilled at it!

Once you're at the dinner table, Uchiha Nan can use his extensive skills to make you feel completely comfortable.

Uchiha Tomita, who was drinking with him, stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Nan, utterly astonished by her skill; she was so adept, it was unbelievable.

He showered Fujii Hiroki with flattering words and auspicious phrases, along with drinking toasts he'd never even heard of before, making it seem like Uchiha Tomita's presence was somewhat superfluous.

Even as Fujii Hiroki remained mindful of his mission, he brought up the debt. Uchiha Nan immediately began to complain about the hardships his clan was going through, to the point that Uchiha Tomita couldn't bear to watch anymore and made up some exaggerated and outlandish stories.

As for the debt, Uchiha Nan isn't saying he won't pay it back. He'll pay it back as soon as the money comes through, including both principal and interest.

Fujii Hiroki naturally couldn't continue speaking.

Then they started pouring alcohol again, two against one. With Uchiha Nan's skillful flattery of the client, interspersed with jokes and conversations about topics that men love, they got Fujii Hiroki completely drunk and they started calling each other brothers.

My younger brother is in trouble, will you help him, older brother?

"What are you talking about? Don't worry, don't be afraid of the debt, I've taken care of it, hiccup, hiccup..."

"I still hold some weight in the clan, so I'll supply the Uchiha with goods for another month."

"."

"Good brother!!"

"Let me toast you again, little brother!"

"."

Write a written agreement!!

Get it in writing right away!!!

Uchiha Tomita quickly got paper and pen from the waiter, signed the contract, and was afraid that Fujii Hiroki would deny it after sobering up.

While Uchiha Nan was enjoying a delicious meal with his VIP client at the hotel, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were wandering the streets of Konoha.

Having narrowly escaped death on the battlefield and then been terrified by Mito Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, two close friends, decided to find a place to get together, have a meal, and talk about the future of Konoha.

In particular, when Shimura Danzo heard that Uzumaki Mito would support Sarutobi Hiruzen becoming Hokage, his anxious heart immediately calmed down, and his mood turned into joy, while a faint sadness lingered in his heart.

I couldn't help but recall the scene from that time. If I had been the first to step forward and die, would I have become the Third Hokage?

Joy and regret filled my heart.

He was both afraid of his brother's suffering and afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover. This perfectly describes Shimura Danzo now. At first, he was worried about Sarutobi Hiruzen, but now that Hiruzen is better, he feels bad for him.

To suddenly find yourself in a position where your comrade, who has always been similar to you, is about to become the highest leader of the village is even more unbearable than killing Danzo Shimura.

However, Danzo was too optimistic and failed to notice the villagers on the street who were always watching them with a hint of disdain and contempt in their eyes.

I'm desperately begging for monthly votes!!!

I want monthly tickets! (Throws a tantrum)

Chapter 25 Danzo: Hiruzen, a thick barrier has already formed between us.

"I'm so sorry, our shop is full."

The owner of a snack shop, with a standard fake smile, dismissed Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, who wanted to eat there.

This is the fourth one already. The owner of this one has a relatively good temper; at least he's somewhat polite.

The previous man was cursing and spitting at their feet. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't stopped him, Danzo Shimura would have fought him.

"Aren't there still seats available there?"

Danzo Shimura was furious and pointed to the empty seat over there.

A Jonin of Konoha, the Hokage's bodyguard, is being chased around even when he's just having a meal.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone me, I'm doing you a favor. In this situation, only a ninja master can afford to eat out every now and then. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to be so extravagant; they're lucky if they can even get enough to eat.

"It's booked there, the guests will be here soon."

The snack shop owner was getting impatient. These two guys in front of him had abandoned the Hokage, causing the Hokage's sacrifice. They were cowards, deserters, and unworthy of being Konoha ninjas.

Do you want to eat here again?

Go eat shit!

"I'll wait here and see when your guest arrives!"

Danzo Shimura pushed aside Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still trying to stop him, determined to get justice here.

"Enough! Do I really have to spell it out for you?"

"I don't want to do business with you!"

"You are all deserters, cowards, unworthy of being Konoha ninjas!"

"You are the ones who killed the Hokage!"

"Get out of here!!"
