Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 44 Testing!

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed. He had already reduced the amount three times in a row, and the daimyo still wouldn't give him any face?

Do you really think that just because you're rich, I won't dare to touch you?

Daimyo's face twitched. Sensing Uchiha Nan's displeasure, even though he was still dissatisfied, he could only compromise a little more.

Who can blame Uchiha Nan for having the bigger fist?

"Those damned ninjas!"

The daimyo cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged, instantly reverting to his carefree demeanor as he said:

"Since the Hokage has spoken, I will concede and set the budget at 32 billion ryo this time."

"Haha, that's awesome!"

"As expected of a wise and virtuous daimyo from the Land of Fire!"

"The future is enough to lead the Land of Fire beyond the past."

"."

Uchiha Nan instantly performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act for the daimyo, spewing out all sorts of flattering words as if they were free.

The client is already throwing money around, so what's wrong with saying some auspicious and flattering words?

If there were enough funds, Uchiha Nan could even put on a comedy routine for the daimyo to praise him.

This is such a conscientious service provider!

The gains from this trip have exceeded Uchiha Nan's expectations. They obtained an extra billion ryo from these rotten insects, which will greatly accelerate the recovery of the clan's strength.

There are also ten precious chances to win a prize!

Of course, there's also a pair of twins... um... well, let's just leave that out for now.

"You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Daimyo stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Nan. The Uchiha in front of him was vastly different from the Uchiha he remembered.

Aloof, cold, arrogant—these words can all be applied to the Uchiha clan, and of course, they wouldn't be wrong to apply them to Uchiha Nan either. But we could add one more word.

To put it kindly, it's called being unconcerned with details; to put it bluntly, it's called being shameless.

Such compliments would never have come from the mouths of the Senju brothers in the past, but Uchiha Nan could say them without batting an eye.

If it were just ordinary ministers with wicked intentions, that would be one thing, but now even the Hokage has learned these tricks.

This is really...

That's a bit dangerous.

The daimyo looked at Uchiha Nan with a somewhat enigmatic expression on his face.

"You flatter me, Hokage."

"I have another request, and I hope the Hokage can grant it."

"Master Xuan Kong, a high-ranking monk from the Fire Temple, has always wanted to learn Konoha's ninjutsu, but unfortunately, he has never had the opportunity. I wonder if he could teach me?"

The armed forces sponsored by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire are not limited to Konoha, but Konoha is the largest sponsor.

The Fire Temple is always bustling with worshippers, and its funding is probably not much less than that of Konoha.

In the bizarre world of Naruto, there are many evil spirits and monsters. When the ignorant common people at the bottom encounter problems, they probably have no choice but to burn incense and pray to Buddha.

Little by little, it adds up to a considerable income over the years, not to mention the nobles who would occasionally visit temples to seek blessings.

The temples in Naruto aren't just a bunch of monks who only burn incense and pray to Buddha; the talismans and charms they give out for peace and safety should actually be effective.

It truly brings in a flood of wealth!

In its previous life, the Rabbit did a lot of crackdowns on these money-making temples in ancient times, even launching an anti-Buddhist movement in order to fleece a group of wealthy people and replenish the national treasury.

snort?

Is this a test of his own abilities?

Uchiha Nan's expression remained unchanged. He could understand the Daimyo's thoughts to some extent. It was too dangerous for the Land of Fire to have only one armed force. If the other side was strong enough, supporting another one would not be a bad idea.

Anyway, it's just a matter of spending more money and making the people suffer a bit more, right?

"No problem. I've long heard that the high monks of the Fire Temple have all cultivated a special power known as the talent of the immortal race."

"I'd like to learn a thing or two myself."

Uchiha Nan smiled, completely unconcerned about the daimyo's probing.

"Haha, it's a deal then!"

Daimyo put his arm around the girl again and returned to his seat, focusing all his attention on eating and drinking, turning all the frustration of being extorted into his appetite.

One meal cost an extra 1 billion taels.

This meal is really expensive!

Seeing that the daimyo was focused on eating and drinking, Uchiha Nan also started to eat and drink heartily. He had been drinking with the daimyo and hadn't really savored the delicious food on the table.

After the banquet, the chubby servant took Uchiha Nan back to his room, and of course, he didn't forget to bring the two sisters, Kaede and Rin, along.

The moment Uchiha Nan spoke, the two sisters were already branded with Uchiha Nan's mark.

Uchiha Nan naturally had a wonderful night.

Very moisturizing!

The next day

Uchiha Nan groggily got out of bed, not remembering how long he had been busy the night before, but he was exhausted.

When Feng and Ling saw that Uchiha Nan had woken up, they habitually helped him get dressed and wash up.

Their parents died early, but they were adopted by the daimyo and raised in the palace because of their good looks and the fact that they were twins. They were carefully trained so that they could one day use their talents to influence powerful and influential people.

For example, giving it to the name of a certain country.

Now that he's been given to Uchiha Nan, there's nothing he can't accept; his mindset has already been educated by hunger.

Uchiha Nan stood there motionless while the two sisters tidied her up and even served her breakfast.

It's true that the corrupt feudal society erodes people's will!

Uchiha Nan felt that he had wasted the first half of his life as a ninja, living a life of constant danger and diligently improving his skills to kill people. Now, he had finally made it through.

"From now on, you'll all be following me!"

Uchiha Nan looked at the two sisters and said seriously.

The deed is done, and Uchiha Nan, who is responsible for the matter, will not shirk his duties. It's just a matter of having two more mouths to feed and two more pairs of chopsticks in the family.

He, Uchiha Nan, can still afford to support him!

Kaede and Rin nodded, satisfied with Uchiha Nan's arrangements.

They were initially a little worried that Uchiha Nan might be inhuman, have tried every trick in the book, and then just run away, which would make things difficult for the two of them.

Uchiha Nan closed the door, and the chubby servant had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Let's go, take me to see the daimyo!"

Before long, Uchiha Nan was taken to a training ground, where the daimyo was chatting and laughing with a half-naked monk.

Looking at it from a distance, Uchiha Nan thought he had seen Fahai, as they were both bald and had some tattoos on their bodies.

"Hokage, did you sleep well last night?"

The daimyo had a smile on his face, but Uchiha Nan felt that the smile was rather lewd.

"Not bad! Your beds are big and soft, better than the ones at my house!"

"Haha, if the Hokage likes it, I can send you the best bed!"

"."

After exchanging some meaningless pleasantries with the daimyo, Uchiha Nan finally got down to business.

"This is Master Xuan Kong, a high-ranking monk from the Fire Temple."

"Hello!"
