Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 70: Inviting guests, beheading, and taking them in as dogs!

Hokage's Office

Uchiha Nan sat in the chair, feeling a bit tired. The mindset of these Konoha ninjas was still too rigid.

Do tasks, do tasks, how much money can you earn from tasks?

Even if you work yourself to death on an S-rank mission, you'll only earn a few million taels, or even just a little over a million taels. That's the kind of work that Shadow-level experts should be doing.

"Sit down, what are you all standing there for?"

Uchiha Nan looked at the two men standing in front of him, Uchiha Tomita and Nara Shikamaru, who were like lackeys. Only after Uchiha Nan finished speaking did the two men sit down with peace of mind.

Compared to Nara Shikamaru, Uchiha Tomita seemed somewhat uneasy, as his position had just been a bit dangerous.

Hesitation at a crucial moment means that loyalty is not absolute, which is tantamount to absolute disloyalty!

However, Uchiha Nan didn't hold it against him. He trusted Uchiha Tomita. His ideas were indeed very advanced for the modern era, and it was normal for ninjas who only knew how to fight and kill not to understand.

Uchiha Nan instructed Uchiha Tomita to prepare a war mobilization plan, while he himself wanted to discuss the futures trading plan with Nara Shikato.

Uchiha Nan should focus his energy on the futures trading plan. Nara Shikato, who is in front of him, is a smart man. With his help, he should be fine.

"Lu Yuan, what are your thoughts on my pig iron futures plan?"

Nara Shikado thought for a moment. Although he didn't know why Uchiha Nan believed in so-called futures so much, he had already boarded Uchiha Nan's pirate ship after accepting the position of Hokage's assistant, and could only do his best to offer advice to Uchiha Nan.

"Lord Hokage, I have a general understanding of the concept of futures that you mentioned. Now, a crucial issue is to resolve the platform problem."

"Great merchants and nobles each have their own sales channels for their pig iron business. It is not easy to integrate their channels and put them all onto the futures platform you mentioned."

"There are too many interests involved, and Konoha's abilities alone are probably not enough. We need to rely on the power of the Daimyo."

"I see."

Uchiha Nan nodded. The platform was indeed a big problem, even though it made futures trading profitable.

The big merchants and nobles are not fools. Once this kind of platform for rapid trading that can drive up pig iron prices without the need for physical goods is established, it represents huge profits. Why should Konoha be given the task?

The guarantee contract can be completely outsourced to the ninja village. Once these bastards figure out the key points, they will definitely kick Konoha aside and do it themselves, and then fleece the ninja world!

"Then let's go talk to the Daimyo. I'll leave this matter to you and Hyuga Takuma. I only care about the result; I won't interfere with the process!"

"Let's go immediately!"

Uchiha Nan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Anyone who dared to stop him from making money would die!

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Nara Shikato swallowed hard, clearly shocked by Uchiha Nan's determination. Integrating channels sounds simple, but the interests involved are intertwined, and who knows how many people will be involved.

Nara Shika, filled with trepidation, sought out Hinata Takuma and then embarked on a journey under the cover of night to the capital of the Land of Fire to meet the daimyo.

Fire Country Capital

In the reception hall, Nara Shikagawa and Hinata Takuma quickly met the daimyo. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Nara Shikagawa explained the purpose of their visit to the daimyo.

futures?

That's a truly remarkable idea!

The daimyo was somewhat surprised that Uchiha Nan had a business mind. He was completely unconcerned about the upcoming Ninja World War, since he wasn't a ninja and the war had little to do with him.

He only cared about whether this futures business could actually make money. To be honest, he was also quite short of money. His ministers and nobles were all dishonest, finding all sorts of ways to evade taxes and make money off him!

"Lord Daimyo, it seems another great battle is about to break out in Konoha. The funds allocated earlier will probably have to be used up again, and in the end, the Daimyo will have to subsidize the expenses."

Seeing that the daimyo was hesitant, Hyuga Takuma stepped forward and said something.

Do I have to pay again?

The Daimyo was getting a little uneasy. He had just given a large sum of money, and Konoha's old wounds hadn't healed yet, so the next funding he would have to give would probably have to increase again.

This really hit a nerve with Daiming.

"The Land of Fire isn't wealthy either. As you all know, your subordinates are becoming increasingly unruly. One or two of them aren't paying taxes, the accounts are a complete mess, and they simply don't respect my great name at all."

"."

The Fire Country Daimyo instinctively began to complain. He was truly broke. He had already paid out this year's funds, and a large sum of money had been given to appease Konoha and allow them to rebuild. If he were to receive another sum, he really couldn't afford it.

"Therefore, Konoha wants to open up a new source of revenue to alleviate the pressure on you, Daimyo."

"The most important things in the futures business are insider information and guarantees. You should trust Konoha's capabilities in this regard. In the future, this will definitely be one of the most profitable businesses in the ninja world. Konoha can share information with you, Daimyo."

"I'm sure you're aware of the greed of those merchants and nobles in the pig iron trade. They're far behind us in terms of intelligence, so we..."

Daming's eyes lit up. He had long disliked those greedy merchants and nobles. Relying on the protection of powerful figures, they sometimes even dared to deceive him and had killed many people, yet they still couldn't stop their greed.

Nara Shika, sensing the daimyo's interest, immediately stepped forward and said:

"Lord Daimyo, the Hokage takes this matter very seriously. Before coming here, he specifically reminded me that I only care about the result, not the process!"

Before coming here, Nara Shikato had already discussed it with Hinata Takuma. One of them would play the good cop and the other the bad cop. Now, he needed to force the daimyo to make a decision.

"I see."

The daimyo felt a pang of unease. The image of Uchiha Nan's Kamui in the arena flashed through his mind, and the greed of his subordinates infuriated him. In addition, the fact that this business was truly profitable made the daimyo determined to make up his mind.

Damn, let's do it!

"Since the Hokage values ​​this deal so much, I should give him face. His men do need to be disciplined, so I agree to this."

"However, the relationships involved are extremely complex, and even with my support, it would be a very tricky situation."

To be honest, given that it's an agricultural country with some ninja characteristics, such a large country has a lot of problems, and there are some things that are beyond his reach and he really can't manage them all.

"I understand, Daimyo. You just need to state your position, and leave the rest to Konoha."

Hyuga Takuma said respectfully, unable to hide his excitement. As long as the daimyo nodded, the matter was half settled. The rest was something Konoha was really good at.

Invite them to a feast, behead them, or take them in as dogs!

If you listen to me, I might give you a meal; if you don't, you might as well just die.

With the name of Daimyo as a signboard, they can be sent to see the Sage of Six Paths in a legitimate way.
