Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 49 Internal debt is not debt.

early morning

Uchiha Nan, supporting his aching back, got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains. Sunlight streamed in and spilled onto the bed, making his snow-white body look stunning against the golden light.

It's established!

However, the mirror facing Uchiha Nan in the room made him suppress his impulse.

Messy hair, deep-set eyes, and heavy dark circles under the eyes; how did his beard grow so long overnight?

I have been ruined by wine and women, and I have become so haggard!

Starting today, I will abstain from pornography!

Uchiha Nan secretly made up his mind. The feeling of getting addicted to sex was too much to bear, and he couldn't afford to ruin his kidneys.

"Master, you're awake?"

Feng rubbed his eyes, apparently awakened by the noise from Uchiha Nan. Seeing Uchiha Nan's naked body, he instinctively covered his eyes. Suddenly realizing that he was also naked, he grabbed the sheet and covered himself with it, his cheeks flushed.

So cute.

Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly as he watched Kaede's flustered state.

"Master, I'll go cook for you right away."

Feng fiddled with the bell, trying to wake it up so he could help Uchiha Nan get dressed and wash up.

"Forget it, don't bother. I'll go out to eat by myself. You guys can continue sleeping."

Uchiha Nan waved her hand, saying that the experience of being waited on hand and foot while getting dressed and washed was enough, and there was no need to make the two sisters go through so much trouble.

Without giving Feng a chance to explain, she grabbed her clean clothes, left the room, washed up, shaved her beard, and then randomly found a breakfast shop to have breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Uchiha Nan arrived at the conference room.

At this time, with an hour to go before the meeting, Uchiha Nan originally thought there wouldn't be many people in the meeting room.

The conference room was packed with people; almost every high-ranking member of Konoha's major and minor clans was there.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the higher-ups are already paying salaries, and they're not proactive in distributing wages, then they're just out of their minds.

Thinking this, Uchiha Nan walked through the crowd to his seat.

When everyone saw Uchiha Nan enter, they all wisely shut up and returned to their seats.

Uchiha Nan, sitting in the head seat in the center, glanced around at everyone and noticed that Uzumaki Mito hadn't arrived yet, so he casually asked Senju Momoka.

"Why didn't Lady Mito come today?"

Senju Momoma's fist hardened upon hearing this, and it was hard not to suspect that Uchiha Nanato's remark was intentional.

My mother's face was swollen into a pig's head by the evil Uchiha Nan. If it weren't for the Uzumaki clan's strong vitality and recovery ability, she would probably be disfigured.

In any world, a woman's face is the most important thing. It was only because Mito Uzumaki considered the bigger picture that she didn't fight Uchiha Nan to the death.

"My mother is not feeling well, so she couldn't come today."

Senju Momoma answered expressionlessly, not intending to argue with Uchiha Nan.

"Oh! Looks like your injury from last time hasn't healed yet."

"you!!!"

Senju Momoma has broken down; it's now confirmed that Uchiha Nan did it on purpose.

I'm not angry, I'm not angry.

Senju Momoma decided to hold back a little longer. There was no benefit in breaking ties with Uchiha Nan now, and Uchiha Nan might just be waiting for him to turn against him.

Now is the time to distribute funds, don't be fooled!

Senju Momoma turned his face away, pretending not to hear Uchiha Nan's words.

"The Hokage has arrived, and everyone is almost here. Let's begin the meeting."

Hyuga Takuma stepped in to smooth things over, not wanting the two major Konoha clans to become too hostile.

"Let's have a meeting then!"

Uchiha Nan nodded and began today's money-giving ceremony.

"The Land of Fire has allocated funds to Konoha."

Uchiha Nan paused deliberately, and the heads of various clans looked at him expectantly, wanting to know the budget figures.

"Three hundred billion!"

The release of the budget figures shattered the quiet of the meeting room, and everyone began to chatter excitedly.

Is 30 billion a lot?

Giving it to a single family would be an astronomical sum, but this sum is for the entire village of Konoha.

After deducting the 10 billion or so owed to various families, less than 20 billion is left.

This only includes the ninja clans of Konoha; there are also a large number of civilian ninjas. While the number of Chunin and Jonin is not large, the number of Genin is considerable, adding up to another significant sum.

There are countless other places where you can spend money.

"Let's discuss this funding today."

Uchiha Nan had only been in office for a short time and was not yet able to make absolute decisions or use the allocated funds at will.

The entire village of ninjas were eyeing the money like hungry wolves.

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, everyone began to speak freely, no longer just whispering among themselves.

These ninja clans first believed that the previous debts should be paid off before they even started discussing how to use the remaining money.

A long list of budgets was compiled, outlining Konoha's daily operating expenses.

The ninja academy needs to continue recruiting students; this requires a significant amount of money.

There are also various ninja tools, soldier rations, and explosive tags.

The hospital in Konoha needs to be expanded, and medical ninjas need to be trained, which will be another large expense.

Furthermore, the cost of defending the Kirigakure and Iwagakure villages is a considerable sum. Just the monthly cost of maintaining a standing army is 500 million ryo. If local skirmishes escalate into war, the cost would be three or four times that amount.

As for Kumogakure, although signing a peace agreement is not a foolproof solution, we still need to be prepared for what to do.

The staff taking notes were constantly calculating future budget expenditures.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Uchiha Nan inquired about Konoha's future budget.

"Reporting to the Hokage, if there is no large-scale war in the future, it will take about 50 billion to realize these budgets."

"hiss"

Knew it!

Uchiha Nan covered his head, thinking that there was never enough budget.

Every ninja village has its weaknesses. Either the funding for ninja academy training is insufficient, the medical care is inadequate, or the defense forces are inadequate.

Those present almost covered everything that Konoha, as a ninja village, needed to develop, and this amount of funding was definitely not enough.

"What if war breaks out?"

Hinata Takuma asked a question, and the recorder gave a wry smile. With war already underway, how could there be any sufficient budget?

You're burning money! There's no end to how much money you can burn.

"The situation isn't looking good!"

Comrades.

Uchiha Nan faced the crowd with a serious face, still short of money!

"Konoha is our common home. We must stand together and uphold the spirit of the Will of Fire."

"."

Uchiha Nan first gave a long speech, conveying the spirit of the meeting.

Since Konoha doesn't have enough money for development, someone has to come up with the money. Who else but these wealthy ninja clans can make the transfer payments?

Relying on civilian ninjas?

How much profit can they squeeze out of them?

Even a starved camel from the Ninja Clan is bigger than a horse!

Konoha owes money to the ninja clans; this is an internal dispute, an internal debt!

Domestic debt is not considered debt!

The suffering and forbearance of the tribe will bear the infamy!
