Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Kusagakure, Uchiha Kusanagi's office

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!"

"Super Special Move!!"

"Die!!"

Uchiha Nan kept shaking the controller with his left hand and clicking the buttons continuously with his right hand, while the three tomoe in his eyes spun wildly as he stared intently at the game screen in front of him.

Hikaru Uchiha, controlling the character Madara Uchiha in the game, was killed by a combo attack from Nana Uchiha, and his health bar was eventually depleted.

Defeat!

Then a victory cutscene appeared on the arcade screen, in which Hashirama Senju leaped down from the True Thousand Hands and uttered his classic line.

"I will not forgive anyone who poses a threat to the village, whether they are friends, brothers, or family!"

Taking advantage of his good fortune in "capturing" Uchiha Hikaru, Uchiha Nan used up all his accumulated lottery draws at once, only to get useless items like benches and shuriken. Apart from the arcade machine in front of him, it was the only prize that could be considered valuable.

Arcade games are a childhood memory. I never expected to be able to pull one from the Naruto world, but unfortunately there's only one game inside: the classic King of Fighters '97. It's just that the system localized it in the ninja world and replaced all thirty characters with characters from Naruto.

"I won again!!"

Uchiha Nan stood up from the bench, looking down at Uchiha Hikaru with a smug expression. Uchiha Hikaru, who had lost dozens of games in a row, looked annoyed, his mouth puffed out in anger, and he looked unconvinced.

"That's not fair, Uchiha Nan! You're so skilled, you must have been playing this game for a long time, while I've only just started!"

"It's normal to lose to you. Sooner or later, I'll definitely beat you!!"

Uchiha Nan chuckled and raised his hands high.

"Practice makes perfect!"

"If you can't handle the risk, don't play!"

"You...you just wait, I'll win one day!"

"Again!"

Uchiha Hikaru was furious at Uchiha Nan's words and vowed to hone his skills so that he could utterly defeat Uchiha Nan.

"I'm waiting!"

In his previous life, Uchiha Nan was already playing arcade games in elementary school, and the classic King of Fighters '97 was a must-play game for him every time. He was known as the "King of Fighters Little Tyrant" in the arcade and even won first place in the arcade's King of Fighters tournament. He had the skill combos of each character, his superb combo skills, and the timing of his blocks all by heart.

His own strength goes without saying. Although Uchiha Nan hadn't played this game for a long time, the moment he touched the controller!

I'm back. All those familiar feelings are back.

Dealing with a novice like Uchiha Hikaru is more than enough. Uchiha Hikaru has no one to teach him and has been brutally beaten by me. He still hasn't figured out the combo of Uchiha Madara's ultimate move. At this stage, if Uchiha Hikaru wants to beat me, I'll have to go all out.

However, this possibility does not exist. Uchiha Nan is a staunch practitioner of the concept of gender equality, and even if Uchiha Kuro were a girl, she would not show any mercy.

"You can practice against the AI ​​by yourself for now. I need to rest for a bit."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, explaining that he had almost completely given up gaming during his university years. He hadn't played games in a long time, and playing a few dozen rounds for fun was fine. Of course, that wasn't the main reason. Uchiha Kō was so bad... there was no point in stomping on weaker opponents.

Let Uchiha Hikari play against the AI ​​first. She and the AI ​​are evenly matched right now, or perhaps she's slightly inferior. She needs to figure out the combos and skill releases before she'll be qualified to challenge herself.

Uchiha Nan didn't intend to teach Uchiha Hikaru how to unleash combos. Compared to being told the secrets directly by someone else, he felt much better figuring it out himself.

Of course. It's definitely not because I'm afraid Uchiha Hikaru will progress too quickly, okay, actually there is a little bit of that.

Uchiha Hikari sat there playing games with great enthusiasm, showing no signs of fatigue, looking every bit like a video game addict.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In this entertainment-scarce ninja world, not to mention King of Fighters '97, even a simple game like Connect Four would be considered a game-changer in the Naruto world. Uchiha Hikaru was sealed away for over a hundred years and has only recently been freed. She's full of curiosity, and now that she's encountered arcade games, she's completely hooked. Let her play.

Uchiha Nan actually hoped that Uchiha Hikaru would "slightly" focus his attention on the game; the dark side that had been trapped for over a hundred years needed to be released.

"Should we go up and spar with Uchiha Hikaru?"

Uchiha Nan then remembered that Masa was still sitting idly in the office. He had been watching the battle for half a day, and judging from Masa's expression, he seemed quite interested.

What man doesn't enjoy playing games?

"No, no, I won't disturb you two any longer."

Mosa suppressed her desire to play the game and did not want to get involved in the flirting between Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Hikaru.

A young couple?

While playing a game, Uchiha Hikaru overheard the sensitive keywords, instantly turning bright red, lowering his head, and wisps of smoke rising from his head.

So shy, so shy.

However, Uchiha Nan didn't refute it.

"That's a real shame. I'll give you one once Konoha starts mass-producing arcade machines."

"Really?" Mosa's face lit up with surprise.

"Of course, we're all brothers."

When Uchiha Nan returns, he will definitely make Tobirama Senju figure out how to play arcade games and then mass-produce them so that the entire ninja world can enjoy the beauty of games!

They'd be making a fortune from this!

Uchiha Nan believed that in this ninja world, no man or child could resist the allure of arcade games!

Not only do they make money selling arcade machines, but they also make money twice by selling game currency throughout the entire ninja world!

Perhaps his perspective was too narrow. Uchiha Nan sat in his chair, deep in thought, when he suddenly recalled the plot of Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, where chakra was absorbed through a game console, and even Tsukuyomi was used to create a virtual world.

The technology involved must be quite advanced, but Uchiha Nan is the client, so he only needs to state his requirements, and the rest is left to Senju Tobirama to solve the technical problems. However, the technological gap is several decades even in the Naruto world, so it will probably take a long time.

A future version of the Ninja World's "Breastfeeding Fun" project: an alternative Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Uchiha Nan sat there pondering his future plans, while Masa, standing beside him, focused on Uchiha Nan's trade plan involving the three countries of fire, wind, and earth.

This time, Uchiha Nan took the opportunity of discussing the joint fruit trade plan with Konoha to invite the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind. He intended to use this opportunity to deepen trade relations between the three countries and establish a set of rules for the ninja world trade system. These past few days, Mosa had been studying those stacks of trade plans and rules late into the night, trying to find the secret to Konoha's prosperity. What techniques had Uchiha Nan used? Wherever he focused his attention, that place would prosper at lightning speed.

The ninja world's trade system has intricate regulations and involves exchanges and trade across various industries. Uchiha Kunan had been preparing for this for a long time, not only drawing personnel from Konoha but also requesting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to send a group of people. This involved complex commercial intelligence, data, personnel, and laws from various countries, which Konoha alone could not handle; it required an immense amount of information!

The daimyo of the Land of Fire has accumulated hundreds of years of laws, books, and archives, which are the foundations that Konoha lacks.

The daimyo was naturally unwilling to hand it over, but after a "friendly" exchange with Uchiha Nan, the daimyo "voluntarily" handed over all these valuable materials.

The Land of Fire will definitely benefit the most from this trade agreement. As the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he will definitely make a fortune by handing over valuable archives and data, so it won't be a huge loss for him.

However, the Daimyo was very dissatisfied with Konoha's growing power and repeated overstepping of its bounds. Konoha has now begun to gradually intervene in the Land of Fire's economy and even interfere in policy-making.

But what can we do?

That's settled then. At least Konoha has at least discussed this with me; they didn't just run straight to the Land of Fire and steal everything. I'll just have to make do for now.

Who can blame them when Konoha has the biggest fist?

The so-called ninja world trade system looks very complicated, but there is only one core!

"Open the door!"

"Free trade!"

Uchiha Nan championed free trade, dedicated to breaking down commercial barriers between countries. Commerce is free, capital is free, and capital knows no borders!

Open your country's doors!

Let Konoha's advanced productivity help you live a happy and fulfilling life!

Ninjas are a bunch of "brainsless" brutes who only know how to kill people and are completely oblivious to these critical economic issues. But the daimyo may be weak in martial arts, but they are still intelligent.

The Fire Country Daimyo may have realized Uchiha Nan's intentions, but as the Fire Country Daimyo, he is a beneficiary of the system. With Uchiha Nan holding a knife to the Fire Country Daimyo's lower back, he certainly wouldn't object. But the Daimyo of the Wind Country and Earth Country are another story.

The new ninja world trade system is certainly not a one-sided benefit to the Land of Fire. It can enhance commercial exchanges between countries and promote economic development, and the benefits are self-evident. However, the harms are also there. If the capital and industrial products of powerful countries are not restricted, the large-scale impact on their homelands will have unpredictable but certainly not pleasant consequences.

At first, the harm may not be obvious and the daimyo may not object, but in the long run, the interests of the local beneficiaries will be damaged, and the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind will inevitably oppose the trade system advocated by Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan's set of rules will only allow the Land of Fire's ever-growing capital to grow unchecked in the ninja world, sucking blood from the entire ninja community.

In the ninja world, a signed contract is very likely to end up as nothing more than a piece of rotten paper in the toilet, and Uchiha Nan had to be prepared for the worst.

But if Iwagakure and Sunagakure supported him, the situation would be different.

As for the secret that Mosa has been longing for, the key is naturally very simple: take down the rich and divide the cake. If the distribution is uneven, then replace those who eat more and do nothing.

Masa's mindset is typical of Sengoku ninjas; he still hasn't broken through this barrier. After much thought, he remains puzzled and awaits guidance from Lord Uchiha Kusunoki!

"Hokage-sama, Tsuchikage-sama has arrived!"

Ao Debiao pushed open the door and came in looking very hurried. When had he, a nobody from Kusagakure, ever seen such a scene before? The leaders of the three great ninja villages of the ninja world appeared together in Kusagakure.

"The long-awaited guests have finally arrived."

"Let's go, Kazekage. Let's go see the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."

Mosa smiled and nodded. After waiting for so long, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure had finally arrived; the three Daimyo had all arrived before the Tsuchikage.

Formal negotiations are finally about to begin.

Kusagakure Reception Hall

Onoki sat in a chair, surrounded by luxurious furnishings. This was not only the reception hall of Kusagakure, but also the reception hall of Konoha United Fruit Company. Currently, the Konoha United Fruit Company held real power in Kusagakure, and all the Kusagakure ninja were employees of the company.

The Konoha United Fruit Company and all the Grass Ninja signed a long-term employment contract. The old-style ninjas were indeed worry-free in some ways; they would work for whoever was their biggest benefactor.

The benevolent rulers of the Grass Country in the past have long been forgotten by the Grass Ninja. They are the kind of people who are considered unlucky to even look at. They don't deserve our loyalty for such a small amount of money.

Only the Hokage of Konoha is truly someone worth following!

However, the comfortable environment did not relax Onoki. On the contrary, he seemed preoccupied. The energy that Konoha was showing was too terrifying. Onoki knew better than anyone what the Land of Grass was like in the past. It had only been a short time since the Hokage came to the Land of Grass, but the Land of Grass had been revitalized, and even the Grass Ninja had undergone a complete transformation.

Onoki could actually see the aura of elite soldiers in the Grass Ninja. How could those useless Grass Ninja, who were defeated by Konoha in a month, have such an aura?

This just goes to show the allure of money: it can make people risk their lives and undergo a complete transformation.

Uchiha Nan was happy to spend money on his subordinates. Money equals fighting power, and this money wasn't wasted. It indirectly controlled a country's ninja village, economy, and even the entire government. Now, the Konoha United Fruit Company had only just taken root in the Land of Grass. In a few years, when it fully covered the Land of Grass, the benevolent rulers of the Land of Grass would officially become history, and their decrees would be as ignored as toilet paper.

The common people, none of them will obey their orders.

Konoha was already the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world, but now it has evolved abilities that even it cannot understand.

Like Masa, Onoki couldn't understand Uchiha Nan's methods, but he instinctively felt fear.

As an ally of Konoha, Masa's reaction was not as strong as Onoki's. The stronger the ally, the more support Sunagakure receives. Konoha's poverty alleviation plan has been implemented in Sunagakure for some time now.

A significant number of shops in Sunagakure have closed down and replaced their signs with those of Konoha. This is fair competition, and Mosa personally investigated. Konoha has not used any methods other than commercial means, nor does it need to. Konoha provides special subsidies to merchants who come to Sunagakure to do business.

Don't be afraid of losing money!

Konoha will make it up for you!

We want the villagers of Sunagakure to enjoy high-quality, affordable goods!

Konoha merchants honestly conduct business in Sunagakure, so what reason does Mosa have to interfere with legitimate business competition?

If you can't compete, just close down; that's the only right thing to do.

Mosa didn't think there was anything wrong with this; the lives of the villagers in Sunagakure were getting better every day!

But Onoki is different; he agreed to the alliance with those black barbarians from Kumogakure!

During the First Shinobi World War, the rogue ninja Kinkaku and Ginkaku from Kumogakure killed the Hokage of Konoha.

The hatred is boundless! (Uchiha Nan agrees!)

Should we cut it at the speed of light?

Onoki was hesitant.
