Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

However, Nara Shikamaru, acting as Uchiha Kunan's external brain, still considered the currently popular anime and manga, and then cautiously said:

"Lord Hokage, what kind of movie should we make? The erotic kind?"

Nara Shikamaru's words were astonishing, leaving Uchiha Nan's eyes wide. "Well, it's not entirely impossible," he thought. "With Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu, a single ninja could film it. The cost of making erotic films in Konoha is outrageously cheap."

However, Uchiha Nan still has some shame. If his debut work is an erotic film, then his morals will drop to a new level.

However, you can't blame Nara Shikagawa for having such a bizarre idea. Before, the ninja world was at war, and other films didn't sell well. Only erotic films could sell.

People are already suffering enough; if we can't even let them masturbate to their heart's content, then this world would be too hellish.

"Uh, of course not, but if you want to make this kind of movie, I can sponsor it for you!"

Uchiha Nan thought about it and decided to encourage Nara Shikamaru's idea. After all, it was really profitable. Once he got Senju Tobirama to upgrade the black and white film to a color film, the profits of erotic films would probably explode.

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders. If we don't want to make this kind of movie ourselves, we can let the Nara clan make it, and we can just stay behind the scenes and invest in it."

"No, no."

Nara Shikamaru shook his head repeatedly. He still had his integrity. If a dignified Konoha clerk were to go down in the world of pornography, then he wouldn't need to stay in the Konoha ninja circle.

"Then let's make a war movie!"

"A film unique to ninjas, interpreting ninja warfare from the perspective of ninjas!"

Uchiha Nan had already planned out the plot: the ninja's cool and flashy ninjutsu, the earth-shattering destructive power—no special effects were needed at all; he was practically born to make war movies.

With the Fourth Shinobi World War still a hot topic, Uchiha Nan is taking advantage of this opportunity to profit from the tragedy of the ninjas.

"Lord Hokage, what about the script?"

Nara Shikamaru once again chose to submit to Uchiha Nan. Since Uchiha Nan came to power, he has done very few things that conform to his understanding, but the results are still very good. Konoha is now the fastest recovering among the five great ninja villages. The only thing it lacks is time.

Ninjas need time to be trained, and ninja clans need time to have children to strengthen their clan's power.

Other ninja villages are still struggling in the quagmire of financial difficulties.

Money can solve 99% of the world's problems. If it can't, it just means you don't have enough money. This statement may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is very true.

Konoha recovered so quickly because they had money in their accounts.

"I've already come up with a rough outline of the script!"

Uchiha Nan thought of the first half of Uchiha Obito's life, and wondered if removing the elements of a love-obsessed simp would make for a great script.

Chapter 87 Mito Uzumaki: Uchiha Nan, you must be nagging me behind my back. I've never seen anything like this before.

"Obito chose to defy the ninja code to save his comrades."

"He sacrificed himself to save his comrade. The remaining two-man squad ultimately completed their mission, securing victory in the war."

"."

Nara Shikato pondered for a while.

"Lord Hokage, this is indeed an interesting scenario, but only ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield would believe such a plot. As ninjas carrying out missions, they must possess rationality and composure; sometimes abandoning comrades is an unavoidable choice."

"However, if I were to put myself in the storyline, I would also hope to have a teammate who would never abandon me."

Uchiha Nan nodded, agreeing with Nara Shikato's words.

The idea that ninjas are merely tools is now mainstream in this era; abandoning comrades to successfully complete missions is commonplace.

However, what Uchiha Nan was really targeting was this damned ninja tool theory!

Ninjas are first and foremost human beings, not tools for carrying out missions. Like ordinary people, ninjas experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. They also feel pain and resentment when their comrades die, which can lead them to do things that violate the ninja code.

Overcorrection is sometimes unavoidable; stubborn problems require drastic measures.

"Lu Yuan, do you think there are more ninjas or ordinary people?"

"The answer is obvious. Ordinary people aren't like ninjas; they have emotions. Besides, no one wants to be used as a tool and then discarded at will."

Uchiha Nan's casual remark sent a shiver down Nara Shikato's spine. He was a smart man, and he understood things immediately.

Sir, times have changed!

Even ninjas need to change

"The Hokage is truly insightful!"

After Nara Shikamaru agreed, Uchiha Nan began to think about the casting issue. The main characters of the story were a trio, and there were only a few trios in the Naruto world that left a deep impression on Uchiha Nan.

In this era, only Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are involved in gambling, prostitution, and drugs.

Orochimaru, nicknamed "Cold Lord," has delicate skin, an effeminate demeanor, and a penchant for wearing eyeshadow. He was a perfect candidate to be a male effeminate character, but unfortunately, he ended up being a nobody.

Tsunade is currently flat-chested and hasn't achieved her Mega Evolution yet, which is a bit of a shame. The movie is missing a selling point.

Jiraiya's a little pervert... let's not even talk about him.

The next day, Uchiha Nan met the trio of prostitutes, gamblers, and drug addicts in his office. They were still students at the Ninja Academy, and Uchiha Nan directly pulled them over to work as child laborers.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were so nervous that they could hardly speak. It was the first time they had ever spoken in a room with a true bigwig from Konoha.

Only Tsunade remained calm; she was already used to the large number of Konoha VIPs coming and going from her house.

"You've all heard the requirements clearly. This is Konoha's first attempt in the film industry. You're very lucky. I wonder if you'd be willing to play the lead role in this movie?"

When faced with Uchiha Nan's invitation, the first one to agree was Jiraiya, the brat. Although he hadn't listened to a single word of the script Uchiha Nan had just described, and had been lost in his own thoughts of surprise and tension the whole time, Jiraiya was definitely not going to miss this opportunity.

The Hokage himself invited them to make a movie!

"Lord Hokage, shouldn't we be paid for participating in the movie filming?"

Tsunade is currently in dire need of money. After being detained for gambling at the gambling den last time, she immediately revealed her identity.

When dealing with someone of Tsunade's stature, the gambling den would naturally treat her with utmost respect and escort her home. If they were to detain the Senju family's daughter at the gambling den, they might as well close down and stop doing business altogether.

After a brief negotiation, Mito Uzumaki readily settled the gambling debts, as if it were second nature to her. She had cleaned up Hashirama Senju's messes in the same way before, and Hashirama Senju didn't dare to ask Tobirama for the money back.

Mito Uzumaki typically used physical attacks against Hashirama Senju, while Tobirama Senju used mental attacks, standing on his moral high ground and pointing fingers at Hashirama. Hashirama, feeling that he was tough and resilient, thought it was more worthwhile to take a beating.

My entire month's allowance was deducted!

To punish Tsunade's gambling addiction, Mito Uzumaki decisively cut off Tsunade's source of income.

"Of course, I certainly won't let you work for nothing. Each of you will be paid 50,000 taels!"

Faced with Tsunade's money-grubbing behavior, Uchiha Nan gave them an astronomical sum of money; 50,000 ryo was an unattainable allowance for children.

"Hehehe, deal!"

Tsunade immediately beamed with joy. Fifty thousand taels was enough for her to enjoy herself at the gambling den for a whole day. Recently, she had been frantically practicing her dice-throwing skills and was sure to dominate the gambling den and win back all the money she had lost before!

"Lord Hokage, I don't need the payment. I hope to learn from you for a while."

Orochimaru wasn't interested in money; he craved knowledge. He firmly believed that knowledge could change one's destiny.

As the Hokage, being able to learn from Uchiha Nan for a period of time is far more valuable than a mere 50,000 ryo.

As expected, he is the strongest scientific research master in the ninja world after Tobirama Senju. He already knows the importance of learning at such a young age!

Uchiha Kusunoki readily agreed to Orochimaru's request, but he didn't intend to teach Orochimaru himself; he preferred Orochimaru to study under Tobirama Senju.

Only a true master can carve a rough gem into a beautiful piece. Uchiha Nan teaching Orochimaru would only waste Orochimaru's scientific research talent.

Furthermore, a master-disciple relationship can easily form during the process of teaching Orochimaru. The Hokage has a tradition of killing Koro-sensei. Uchiha Nan isn't worried about others, but if it's Orochimaru, Uchiha Nan has to consider whether his life is tough enough.

Now that Tobirama Senju is dead, and his life force is incredibly tough, from every perspective, Tobirama Senju would be a better fit to lead Orochimaru.

"You don't need to go to the ninja academy for now. Go home and memorize all the scripts."

Uchiha Nan gave each of them a script and told them to go back and memorize it. All that was left was to wait for filming to begin. After sending away the trio of gamblers, prostitutes, and drug addicts, Uchiha Nan began to arrange the specific details of filming the movie.

Uchiha Kunan personally sent someone to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, demanding that theaters within the Land of Fire fully promote his new movie.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire gladly accepted Uchiha Nan's request. Uchiha Nan had previously helped him make a fortune. As the saying goes, a drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water, and the kindness Uchiha Nan had shown was as heavy as a waterfall.

The daimyo readily agreed to Uchiha Nan's trivial request.

Not only in the Land of Fire, but also in the other four great nations, and in various smaller countries of the ninja world, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has given his assurance, making sure to reach out to all of them so that their country's cinemas will also give full play to the promotion!

The Land of Fire is the wealthiest country, and naturally, the richest places have the strongest cultural atmosphere. The Land of Fire has always been at the forefront of the cultural scene. If those people in the film industry who play with art don't respect my name, then they shouldn't be in the industry anymore; they can be directly blacklisted.

Uchiha Nan was very satisfied with the daimyo's promise. To be involved in art, you have to know how to promote it. No matter how high the quality of a movie is, without promotion and distribution, the box office won't be very high, and it's not even certain whether it can break even.

Finding extras couldn't be easier. There are plenty of unemployed ninjas in Konoha. As soon as Uchiha Nan's mission notice was released, the place was overflowing with people. The Hokage is making a movie, and they have to go and support him. Even if it's just a minor role or a cameo appearance, they'll be happy to go.

that night

Uchiha Nan arrived at the underground laboratory and asked Senju Tobirama to upgrade the film technology quickly, and that other work could be put on hold for now.

"filming?"

"Why would a Hokage like you go into the adult film industry?"

Tobirama Senju was increasingly baffled by Uchiha Nan's thought process; this was simply a waste of his time!

"What do you know!"

"This is the first step in seizing the high ground in public opinion. If you don't take it, someone else will. What do you know, you old fogey!" "Do you even know what it means to smuggle in your own agenda? A movie always needs heroes and villains, right? We, Konoha, are naturally the heroes. Guess who the villain is? This movie's influence will be very wide-ranging!"

Tobirama Senju instantly understood. How could he not have thought of that? The ninja world had always been divided into factions, fighting each other at the slightest provocation and regarding each other as bandits.

As the film's reach expands, the impression that Konoha is a force for justice will be firmly established throughout the ninja world, and the benefits will be self-evident.

They truly are born evil Uchiha!

They even thought of such a wicked trick!

"I'll handle it!"

Tobirama Senju readily agreed, promising to upgrade the technology within a few days.

Uchiha Nan then discussed the movie script and casting with Senju Tobirama.

When Tobirama Senju heard that Tsunade would be playing the lead role, he immediately became restless. He grabbed Uchiha Nan by the collar and made him promise that he had to take him to the premiere of the movie.

Uchiha Nan naturally disagreed, as releasing Senju Tobirama would be too dangerous. Then, Senju Tobirama used his old trick: if he wasn't shown the sight, he would go on strike.

Uchiha Nan had no choice but to promise that as soon as the film was edited, he would show it to Tobirama Senju in the basement, as a way of giving Tobirama a break.

Even someone like Tobirama Senju, who works tirelessly around the clock, needs to relax a bit.

Once everything was arranged and filming was about to begin, Mito Uzumaki arrived at Kusanagi Uchiha's office.
