Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 48 Clan Chief, your words are profound!

After a busy afternoon, Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita finally stamped all sorts of fake receipts ahead of schedule, and were just waiting for the money to arrive.

Afterwards, Uchiha Nan rested his chin on his hands and discussed the future development of Konoha with Uchiha Tomita, eager to hear Tomita's opinion.

After all, Uchiha Nan has no one else to rely on right now; his only remaining team is the Uchiha clan.

Tomita Uchiha was an outstanding talent in the Uchiha clan, with high talent in both combat and managing the clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take the reins of the entire Uchiha clan after Madara Uchiha left.

After taking over the position, Uchiha Tomita also did his best to teach him how to be an excellent clan leader, so Uchiha Nan respected Uchiha Tomita very much.

"I think the most important thing right now is to recuperate and rebuild, especially for the ninjas. And then there are the missions."

"."

Uchiha Nan listened attentively.

Hmm, very traditional, the same old approach: train as many ninjas as possible, strengthen Konoha's power, and ask the daimyo for more funding, etc.

We are at the mercy of others!

Standard ninja thinking, but you can't blame him. In this flawed worldview, ninjas are supposed to hone their skills, become stronger, and then take on missions to support themselves.

Another victim of the poisonous influence of the ninja tool theory.

Uchiha Nan's ambitions are far more complex than that. He wants to get involved in all sorts of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, commerce, and entertainment, transforming Konoha into a giant trust that monopolizes resources and extracts profits.

Leveraging its strong economic power and cultural influence, Konoha continuously promotes its universal values.

With Konoha becoming powerful, it is inevitable that it will face a joint attack from the other four ninja villages.

Since they can't crush the world with their own strength, they'll find another way to rule the world. They can't just wait for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Of course, the most important thing is still the issue of mindset.

The First Hokage's extremely naive ideas were far too outdated and could not possibly serve as the guiding ideology for Konoha. He should have gone to study the nine-year compulsory education system of the Rabbit Kingdom, and he should have focused on improving his knowledge of politics and history.

"An excellent organization must have a lofty pursuit, and Konoha's pursuit is naturally peace in the ninja world."

"On this basis, we need to develop military, political, economic, and cultural aspects. Konoha's military strength is undoubtedly formidable, but its influence in politics, economics, and culture lags far behind."

"The first problem Konoha needs to solve is the economy. To achieve a leapfrog development, it's pointless for ninjas to compete with the daimyo for land. They've been ahead for over a thousand years."

Therefore, we must develop industry, science and technology, and increase productivity.

Uchiha Nan was talking eloquently. Talking about politics is a basic skill for people in China. Every night, a great reformer, a great politician, or a great military strategist will randomly appear in the male dormitories of every university.

It's a pity that I can only pontificate and express my opinions in the dormitory, unable to realize my ambitions.

Of course, Uchiha Nan wasn't a professional, but he only needed to set the way, and the elites of Konoha would naturally follow suit.

Uchiha Tomita sat there listening, sweat beading on his forehead. At first, he could understand a little, but later he couldn't understand what Uchiha Nan was saying anymore.

"Industry needs to develop steel; steel is the lifeblood of industry."

"To get rich, build roads first. Konoha really needs to improve its roads, and we also need to develop trains in the future."

"."

Uchiha Tomita's mouth gaped open involuntarily, almost babbling. Although he couldn't understand Uchiha Nan's words, Uchiha Tomita felt that these words were profound truths and had a very sophisticated feel to them.

All he needs to do is nod!

"Tomita, Konoha's future should be grand, not just existing as a mere ninja village. Do you understand what I mean?"

Uchiha Tomita swallowed hard; it would be too embarrassing to say he didn't understand at this point.

"I roughly understand, but Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, aren't you thinking too far ahead?"

Uchiha Tomita carefully chose his words. The First Shinobi World War was not completely over yet. The battles between Konoha, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure were still undecided, and there was only a temporary truce. No one knew what the future held.

"He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present; it's never a bad thing to think more."

"He who does not plan for the whole cannot plan for a part; he who does not plan for eternity cannot plan for the present."

Uchiha Nan spoke with great earnestness.

"He who does not plan for the long term cannot plan for the short term. Chieftain, your words are profound!"

Uchiha Tomita praised, feeling that he was too superficial, and that probably only Uchiha Nan could lead Konoha into a future.

"Alright, that's enough for today!"

"Notify all the clans that there will be a meeting tomorrow. The funds have arrived, and it's time to distribute them. I've been away from Konoha for a while, and I imagine they're getting impatient."

Uchiha Nan felt that he wouldn't be able to discuss anything with Uchiha Tomita, as their thinking was completely on different wavelengths.

It's about time to recruit a Hokage for assistance, Uchiha Nan thought, recalling the shape of a pineapple head.

Nara Shikato would be a good choice; the Nara clan members are naturally highly intelligent.

Talking to him yourself should be helpful.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Uchiha Tomita nodded. In recent days, many clan heads from other families had come to him to sound out how much funding the daimyo had allocated.

Uchiha Tomita naturally wouldn't say anything; he was always enthusiastic and polite to everyone, yet claimed to know nothing when asked.

In the evening, Uchiha Nan returned home to find that the previously messy house had been cleaned up and was now spotless.

"Master, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

Kaede and Rin stood together at the door waiting for Uchiha Nan. Uchiha Nan casually patted their heads; their hair was smooth and soft, and felt very comfortable to touch, like petting a cat.

"Nan, are those two the massage therapists you hired?"

"I'm very satisfied with their technique!"

Manji walked out of the room with cat-like steps, clearly still not understanding the relationship between Uchiha Nan and Kaede and Rin.

"No, they'll be living here from now on. I'm no longer single, you little virgin!"

When Uchiha Nan returned home and saw Banji, he felt extremely relaxed and started teasing Banji.

"What?"

"You traitor!"

Manji stared wide-eyed. "We promised to be best buddies for life. Who's going to be the first to get out of being single?"

Uchiha Nan and Banji played around for a while, while Feng and Ling went to prepare dinner. Uchiha Tomita brought over a lot of ingredients.

Dinner was soon laid out on the table.

Four dishes and one soup!

Uchiha Nan sat there while the two sisters stood by and served her. This was getting a little unbearable for Uchiha Nan. She wasn't a baby, and she didn't need someone to help her pick food for her.

"Please sit down!"

"Now that you're with me, you don't need to be reserved. This will be your home from now on."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, signaling them to each serve themselves a bowl of rice and eat with him.

Uchiha Nan originally wanted to change the title of "master" and just call them by their names, but the two sisters refused, so Uchiha Nan didn't force them.

At night, Uchiha Nan lay on Feng's lap, enjoying a lap pillow and ear cleaning service, while Banji lay on Rin's lap, enjoying Rin's petting service.

"Nan, I agree to your relationship with those two, as long as you give me massages like this every day."

Manji squinted, looking completely relaxed, and smoothly accepted the new family member.

"Oh? That's good!"

"You absolutely cannot back out!"

After finishing his sentence, Uchiha Nan led Kaede and Rin towards the bathroom. He had long wanted to try a bath together.

After taking a shower, Uchiha Nan couldn't wait to return to his bedroom.

Tomita is so thoughtful; this bed is bigger and softer than I imagined.

Feng and Ling, wrapped in bath towels and with slightly flushed cheeks, said in unison:

"Master, please be gentle."

(The remaining 1 words are omitted.)

Outside the room, Manji covered his ears with his hands as he listened to the noises coming from inside.

"Damn it, that was too hasty!"

"My place has been taken!!!"

Please continue reading, and give me your monthly votes!

From now on, I'll update in the morning; updating at midnight is too morbid.
