Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

I recommend Chapter 105, Yuya!

Later, Yuya recovered his health, and Konoha's year-end summary came to an end.

After this harrowing incident where everyone was dragged away by Tobirama Senju to be treated like slaves, the members of these families finally understood.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and You Ya is indeed very good at this job, which they acknowledge.

They really can't do without traveling to Asia.

This is now universally acknowledged by all members of the family.

It's definitely not because they actually received hundreds of millions of real money this year.

The larger families receive hundreds of millions, while the smaller families receive tens of millions or even a hundred million. Basically, You Ya's position as the heir is already as secure as a rock.

Unless Yua pulls some major stunt like betraying the village, he's a shoo-in for Konoha's third Hokage.

Those families in Konoha who have received so much benefit from him will definitely be his biggest supporters when the time comes.

Konoha Year 24 arrived in this atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Yuya was preparing to implement his first suggestion: to have the three Sannin show off—oops, I mean, to hold a Chunin Exam involving the five nations of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Tobirama Senju was immediately awestruck.

I really want to crack open your head and see what's inside.

How can you be so talented?!

After careful consideration, Tobirama Senju realized just how many benefits there were in this.

It not only showcases the strength of the next generation of Konoha, but also demonstrates the development of the village.

Wouldn't this make the people of these villages value Konoha even more?!

So, when delegations from other countries came to discuss cooperation for the new year at the beginning of the year, Yuya offered his opinion, and Tobirama Senju agreed, telling them to go back and explain their purpose.

If there are no problems, then we'll schedule it for June and July next year.

All expenses will be covered by Konoha.

The other ninja villages readily agreed to this.

They really wanted to know what the quality of Konoha's next generation would be like.

As for Kumogakure, which has always been at odds with Konoha...

Well... all they want to say right now is sorry, bro. There were so many people outside, I practically begged you on my knees. Making money is so tempting, can we expand our cooperation a bit more?

One year, just one year.

After signing a cooperation agreement with Konoha for mutual trade, Kumogakure stabilized the prices in its territory.

Although it came at the cost of hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, and other livestock.

But it's worth it.

At least now no one from Kumogakure will criticize him for leaving everyone hungry.

The Third Raikage was feeling very comfortable and exhilarated.

The cooperation was finalized this year, and next year we'll go to Konoha to broaden our horizons. Konoha probably wouldn't dare to play dirty tricks on something this important.

Of course, Konoha really wasn't planning on playing dirty tricks.

But before that...

……

"boom!"

"Hmm?" XN

An explosion suddenly occurred in the forest west of Konoha Village, leaving countless Konoha villagers puzzled.

Of course, there was only confusion, not panic.

With Tobirama Senju present in Konoha, what is there to be afraid of?!

Meanwhile, in the forest west of Konoha Village, Tobirama Senju stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

Yuya smiled slightly and said to Tobirama Senju, "It's true that the main fighting force in the ninja world is ninjas, but if you ask me... the main fighting force should be chakra."

Yuya grinned as he looked at the smoking cannon barrel beside him. This was the research institute's top priority for the past few years: the Chakra Cannon. (Note 1)

Tobirama Senju fell silent, then patted Yua's head with immense satisfaction: "I always thought you would only make Konoha stronger and more prosperous, and wouldn't be much better in terms of military strength."

Now I realize that you've always known that force is the root of everything.

You Ya smiled; of course he knew this principle.

After all, the saying "truth lies only within the range of cannons" is a well-known proverb.

Tobirama Senju sighed again as he spoke: "Your achievement will completely change the landscape of the ninja world, the future of the ninja world..."

"Ninjas might end up just charging up this behemoth..."

However, Tobirama Senju was satisfied with this.

After all, you can't expect every generation to produce a Hashirama Senju to protect the peace of Konoha.

But having this technology makes all the difference.

With this technology, who in other countries would dare to mess with you?

This is the true foundation that makes Konoha strong!

……

Afterwards, Tobirama Senju said that there was no problem and that the villagers should not panic.

The matter then calmed down.

Then, in the 24th year of Konoha, Yua's factory produced the first generation of portable cassette players.

Perhaps for the people of this world, this is just a simple step.

However, this further confirmed Yuya's belief in the physical laws of this world, confirming that sound and light could be stored.

Therefore, Youya became even more certain of her future direction.

In the same year, the first generation of black and white cameras was successfully developed. Konoha 24th year marked the beginning of the first year of literature and art. The prototypes of many electronic products in the future world can be found in the first generation of products in this year.

At the end of Konoha Year 24, Yuya gave out year-end red envelopes to everyone in the village.

Actually, they didn't give out any money; they just gave out some candy, cookies, and other small snacks.

However, the villagers of Konoha were quite satisfied with this unexpected surprise at the end of the year.

Also at the end of the year, You Ya completed the establishment of the Broadcasting and Television Station, with Tobirama Senju as its first director.

Although the television hasn't been completed yet, it will be soon. As the person in charge who plans ahead, You Ya can't wait until all kinds of equipment are ready before setting up this management organization.

It's certain that the management organization appeared first, followed by the corresponding projects.

Also in that year, Tobirama Senju would occasionally stroll around the Ninja Academy, as he also held the position of school principal.

However, as the Hokage, Tobirama Senju could not possibly stay at the school 24 hours a day.

He has more important things to do.

Although the year appeared very calm on the surface, it was actually quite turbulent underneath.

At the year-end meeting, Tobirama Senju made a public statement to all the families in Konoha Village.

Next year, which is Konoha Year 25, Tobirama Senju will resign, that is, step down from the position of Hokage.

And his chosen successor...

Naturally, it's Yuya.

Yua has held power from Tobirama Senju from the year 17 of Konoha to the end of the year 24.

Seven years can be said to have completely transformed Konoha.

This allowed Konoha to quickly surpass other villages, especially Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, within seven years, becoming the wealthiest and number one village in the ninja world.

Everyone present saw this.

Especially the second generation of their family, the second generation who fought against Tobirama Senju for five years.

Yuya's heart was pounding. Although he knew that Tobirama Senju would do this, he still felt nervous when the moment actually arrived.

They were particularly worried that some of the families present might raise their hands in disagreement or something.

Of course, in the end, none of the patriarchs of these families raised their hands or objected.

Although many people looked at Sarutobi and Shimura, the clan head, after Tobirama Senju finished speaking.

However, Chief Sarutobi simply closed his eyes to rest and pretended not to see anything.

And the clan head of Shimura...

Who cares about him here? Everyone knows that the Shimura clan is now under the control of Shimura Danzo.

Last year, Danzo Shimura was in a very bad mood because he took over a factory but didn't even understand it. Tobirama Senju pointed his finger at him and scolded him.

Although he wanted to raise his hand in opposition, there were people within the Shimura family who spoke against him.

Because last year, when he started his factory, other families received hundreds of millions of dollars in money by the end of the year, but the Shimura family received nothing except some candies and cookies that every Konoha villager had, given to them by Yua's candy factory.

This year, the Yuya Resort did not treat the Shimura family unfairly.

They distributed one-tenth of the beverage factory's net profit to their clan.

There are more than 200 million taels.

Last year there was not a single penny, but this year there are more than 200 million taels of silver, and it was all taken from the beverage factory that you managed last year.

If Danzo were to raise his hand in disagreement at this point, the Shimura clan would likely be dissatisfied with him when he returned.

The advantage of a clan is that ninjas from the same clan and with the same surname are naturally on the same side. Since everyone shares the same surname and their ancestors were the same person, it is only natural that we should help each other.

The downside is that when it comes to profit distribution, everyone shares the same ancestor, so why should you, the scoundrel, get the lion's share?! Even if you're the clan leader, you can't take more than half of the profits by yourself!

Not to mention that they didn't get a single penny of benefits last year because of a certain guy.

Moreover, many people are saying that if that bastard Danzo Shimura hadn't provoked the Naruto distributor last year and had chosen the most valuable company, wouldn't they have made nearly a billion yen in two years?!

This is a fact, especially for the Hyuga and Sarutobi families, whose dividends over the past two years have truly exceeded one billion yen.

In this situation, it's not hard to understand why Sarutobi, the clan leader, simply looked down and indicated that he had no objection to Tobirama Senju's decision.

After all, Youya truly did not mistreat their clan.

However, the Uchiha clan had some objections; they also wanted to do what the Hyuga or Sarutobi clans did.

They're short of money too... Well, that's obvious. Any family will always feel they don't have enough money; there's no such thing as being satisfied just because they have money.

However, Yuya has recently gone quiet and hasn't mentioned who he's approaching for land acquisition, which is making the Uchiha clan somewhat anxious.

To be honest, it's all thanks to Uchiha Kagami that the Uchiha clan can still perform here.

After all, Uchiha Kagami truly sided with Yua when Yua was still penniless.

Who could have imagined that Yua, who had nothing but the title of the first Hokage's disciple and the second Hokage's nephew, would eventually reach this point?

Uchiha Kagami has indeed become quite successful.

Two years ago, Youya went backstage at Uchiha Kagami's son's birthday party and directly presented him with a box of gold.

Moreover, when Yuya built the water plant, only Uchiha Kagami in the Uchiha clan firmly agreed. So, although the Uchiha clan can get hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from the water plant every year, strictly speaking, they are actually benefiting from Uchiha Kagami's success, and the shares are in Uchiha Kagami's name.

It's just that Uchiha Kagami didn't want to fall out with his clan, so he had the Uchiha clan members collect their share of the profits every year; he was too lazy to take the money himself.

However, if we're really talking about hard currencies like cash and gold, then Uchiha Kagami is the richest person in Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Nara clan, who initially lost a deer, have also benefited from it.

It's just not as big as Sarutobi and Hyuga.

With such a knack for dividing the spoils, which of these family patriarchs would object to Youya?

If you dare to object, your bonus next year will definitely be cut.

So let's agree; it's better for everyone.

And so, Tobirama Senju confirmed the momentous decision that Yua would succeed him as the Third Hokage in the 25th year of Konoha.

In the Naruto movie where Naruto and Hinata become a couple, the Raikage, that brat, pulled out a cannon that threatened to blow up the moon. Although it wasn't used during the Fourth Shinobi World War, everyone understands that he was keeping it a secret. Since Kumogakure has a cannon capable of destroying the moon, it's perfectly reasonable for Konoha to develop one too, right?
