Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 124 The New Generation and Film

It was at this time that Yuya belatedly realized that familiar names were gradually appearing in the world of Naruto.

It was at this moment that I casually asked Lu Ye if he had children yet.

As a result, this guy hesitantly indicated that he had it.

Youya immediately got angry. "You have a child and you didn't tell me?!"

Lu chuckled awkwardly and said, "I'm just a nobody, why would you care?"

Actually, it was because the Second Hokage retired from active duty last year, and Yua had a lot of things to deal with.

Okay, now I also have a lot of things to deal with.

Yuya sighed, too lazy to argue with Nara Shika, and said that he would give Shikaku a gift when he turned one year old.

Lu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said he wouldn't mind having more if it was gold.

You Ya laughed and kicked it.

I will definitely give them something, but it will definitely be the same amount given to the Akimichi family; I can't give them more.

Lu also smiled and said that it was fine, it was worth several hundred million.

It was only after this that Youya began to search for the names in her memory.

Then, I was shocked to find out that Sasuke's father, Fugaku Uchiha, was already old enough to attend the Ninja Academy!

The results were actually pretty good?!

Was Fugaku's father born that early?!

Wait, let me do the math. How much older is Yi Da Qi than Er Zhu Zi? When Er Zhu Zi was a child, his older brother had already joined the Dark Division. If I think about it, he really is at least seven or eight years older...

Let's go see Hinata and Neji's father...

Well, it turns out I've reached the age where I can just dabble in things.

Moreover, it would have been better if they hadn't known, because once they did, the Anbu assumed Yua wanted Hyuga's information and gave her a whole bunch of it.

He also showed Yuya the records from last year regarding Hyuga Hizashi being planted with the Caged Bird Seal...

Ah this...

So, all these things had already happened while I was wholeheartedly developing Konoha?

Well, even if you knew Yua beforehand, it wouldn't have changed the outcome.

He doesn't yet have the power to make these families kneel down and obey his orders.

However, if we ignore it...

That definitely won't work either.

Putting aside other things, the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird Seal might be able to protect the Byakugan.

However, in the ninja world that Yuya has modified, the Byakugan will definitely have a role on the battlefield.

But it's hard to say how effective it is.

In the future, the battlefield will definitely be a battle of cannons between the two sides. The fact that the Fourth Raikage can pull out that big thing in the future means that Kumogakure has the ability to build cannons. If that's the case, then there's no reason why Kumogakure can't do what Konoha can do.

Similarly, if Cloud Village can do it, other villages may be able to as well.

Therefore, future wars will definitely be in the era of artillery bombardment.

In this kind of era, it's not necessarily true that rolling your eyes is very useful...

Of course, that's not to say that Yua doesn't care that the Hinata people's Byakugan has been taken away.

Previously, one of the Hyuga branch family members got into trouble in the Land of Grass while on a mission. Yua simply rallied the Hidden Stone Village and wiped out the entire Hidden Stone Village.

Although the strategic location of the Grass Country is more important here.

In short, the strategic significance of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan will be greatly reduced in the future.

If Yua's side were to invent something like airplanes, then the Hyuga's Byakugan would essentially become useless on the battlefield. (There are airships in the Naruto movies, so theoretically they could be manufactured.)

Of course, if a genius in the Hyuga clan were to evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan, then the so-called "Byakugan is useless" theory would be a joke.

The key question is whether or not it is possible.

In short, the road ahead is long, so Yuya should focus on developing Konoha first before thinking about anything else.

The next day, Yuya got up from his bedroom in the Hokage's office building, went to his office, and prepared for another busy day.

More than half an hour later, Nara Shika arrived and brought Yua some good news.

Jiraiya, who had already left Konoha last night, rushed back overnight, but was stopped outside the village by the Uchiha guards. Jiraiya tried his best to reason with them, but the Uchiha were stubborn and wouldn't let Jiraiya into the inner city without Yua's orders.

Now the deer is also asking Youya for instructions on what to do.

What should I do?

Yuya sneered, then said, "Well done, Uchiha!"

Jiraiya, that brat, should have been kept out!

Yua certainly knew why Jiraiya wanted to return to the inner castle.

Ugh, I'm not letting you come back to watch the beauty pageant!

But speaking of this...

"Has the venue for the first talent show been decided?" You Ya asked.

Shika nodded: "Our Nara clan has offered half of our clan's land to host this competition."

You Ya blurted out instinctively, "A bunch of perverts."

Lu Ye immediately broke down in defenses: "No way! It's purely because there are benefits to holding this event!"

You Ya curled her lip: "Why haven't I seen you guys this enthusiastic before?"

Lu chuckled awkwardly, "Well, that's because I didn't expect you, Lord Hokage, to be so amazing, making big money as you wish."

Who in Konoha doesn't envy the Sarutobi clan now?

Because they gave Yua two-thirds of the clan's territory, the Sarutobi clan ended up with a bank and a hospital, making a fortune.

Even if you do nothing all year, you can still get two or three billion in dividends.

I remember a few years ago when the bank first started, it only had a total of over 10 billion yuan in deposits.

And it's only been a few years?

It multiplied several times over, exceeding 100 billion!

The Sarutobi clan can earn hundreds of millions a year without doing anything.

Add to that the hospital fees, and the annual family allowance from Konoha, and the money just keeps flowing in...

Sigh, if people hadn't minded places like hospital morgues a few years ago, then now it would be other families making money.

After all, when Yuya first planned to build the hospital, not a single family was willing to accept it.

Yuya went to the Uchiha clan and tried his best to persuade them to give him the land.

As a result, the Uchiha clan members felt that bringing a morgue was too unlucky and refused.

Now I regret it almost every year.

After that, Youya was basically treated like a god of wealth by these families.

The Nara clan's decision to hand over their clan territory this time can be seen as a way of letting Yua take the lead.

Yuya curled his lip, too lazy to pay attention to Shika's words. He did have a way to lead the Nara clan to new heights, but he couldn't just give Shika any ideas he wanted.

Konoha is indeed short of land, but it is even more short of people.

Yuya needs to find a way to get these guys in Konoha to keep having children.

One isn't enough! Keep it up!

As for taking other families off to new heights...

If none of you come and fawn over me, why should I take you under my wing?

The reason for taking the monkey flying is that banks and hospitals are essential.

The reason for taking Hinata with us is because Hinata is good at dealing with people. Although she is two-faced, she also knows how to be hypocritical and flattering. And why is kindergarten so popular now?

It's because there are so many newborns!

Youya's next step is to build a kindergarten in each of the four districts in the east, west, south, and north, and add more if that's not enough.

However, this will make land use scarce again, hmm...

Yuya stroked his chin. If that's the case...

It's time to continue raising the buildings for the villagers of Konoha.

But before that...

Let the world see what cinematic art is all about.

A week later, the first beauty pageant in Konoha came to a close, and the winner was a woman from the Moonlight Clan.

Yamo immediately arranged for someone to go and negotiate the payment for his first film role.

The Moonlight Clan was originally a small clan within the Konoha clans. Because of its small number of members, it didn't have much clan territory.

This is a rather unusual way of becoming famous.

After the results came out, Yuya asked Ninja Pigeon to deliver them to the surrounding villages.

Jiraiya, who had been guarding the outer city, burst into tears upon seeing the newspaper. The woman was indeed beautiful, but he couldn't see her!

That damned Third Hokage! How dare you say I can't come in and then just let me in! That's outrageous!

Meanwhile, You Ya is also speeding up the filming of his first movie.

Time passed by so quickly.

A month later, in April of Konoha Year 27, Yuya issued a notice regarding the phased renovation of Konoha's southern district.

The first phase will focus on renovating the residential areas adjacent to the outermost street in the southern part of the city.

All floors will be converted into a ten-story building with elevators, running water and electricity, its own sewage system, and balconies.

The families whose homes are being renovated will receive the same number of property certificates as the number of houses they currently own.

In other words, you get as many rooms as you have.

After the notice was issued, many people did not know what the renovation would look like.

However, some people had some ideas and felt that Konoha should increase the compensation they received.

Youya didn't refuse outright, saying he could give you 120% of the current house price in cash, but you wouldn't have a property certificate after that.

Some people were tempted, after all, many people now own two houses, which can be considered a benefit that Youya had given them in the past.

Now we take one unit and sell one unit. In the future, the building will have ten floors, with six rooms on each floor. With so many units, will the price be higher than the current three or four-story building?

No way! It's too expensive, who would buy it?!

Thinking this way, some people not only felt this way themselves, but also encouraged their neighbors to go all in, thinking that they could just buy back the properties once they were built.

The price will definitely be cheaper then.

Some people thought it made sense and agreed.

You Ya shook his head helplessly. "You have two sets. If it doesn't work out, sell one and keep the other!"

Didn't you consider the possibility of something going wrong when you sold them all?

You can't reason with a damned devil, so Youya didn't bother trying to persuade him. He just had someone arrange things for him and gave him money.

In May of the 27th year of Konoha, all the old houses on a street in the southern part of the city were demolished, and the foundations for new houses were laid.

Having ninjas is convenient.

Send a few Jonin over, and this matter will be settled.

All that's required is a monthly salary of a little over a million taels plus a task bonus of a little over a million taels.

It's really cheap compared to the value it creates.

In the same month, Onoki from Iwagakure sent someone to Konoha to say that the power plant was completed and asked if the two sides should increase their cooperation.

You Yale was so happy he couldn't close his mouth; it was the first time he'd ever seen someone so eager to give him money.

On the same day, a trade contract was signed with the people of Iwagakure Village.

Electric fans, phonographs, and phonographs were all sent to Iwagakure Village.

Here, the factory has changed from producing electric fans to producing variable speed electric fans, from phonographs to producing cassette radios, and from phonographs to cameras and video cameras.

However, since the factory has just been renovated, skilled workers also need time to adapt.

As for the factory address and assembly line equipment, those are the simplest things to do.

There are large virgin forests around Konoha Village; just cut them down.

In reality, the area of ​​Konoha Village has already increased five or six times due to various factors such as building factories, farming, water diversion, and expanding the outer city, but the villagers living in the inner city of Konoha Village do not feel it.

Just as Yuya was worrying about what to do with the old things as these new things came out, the village of Iwagakure came to take over.

Good thing you came!

I just need someone to take over!

We'll pack it up and give you a 10% discount.

The people of Iwagakure were immediately delighted; he was actually quite a nice guy!

In June of the 27th year of Konoha, Sunagakure launched a counterattack against Hanzo's forces. A great victory shattered Hanzo's hopes. After sending people to Konoha in the first and second months of the year, Hanzo, who had not come for several months, came to Konoha in person after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Sunagakure.

Yuya didn't mention that Hanzo hadn't sent anyone, but warmly welcomed Hanzo and agreed to his request for increased aid.

However, they refused to send troops to intervene.

Yuya solemnly stated that this was a matter between the two of them. Konoha had already offended Sunagakure by agreeing to provide assistance to them. Did they understand that?

Hanzo could only return to the Land of Rain with a heavy heart.

You Ya felt no sympathy whatsoever for this.

The only reason to blame the Land of Rain is its unique and important geographical location.

Similarly, if you have someone to blame, blame your own overwhelming strength.

If you didn't have this level of superhuman strength, the war wouldn't have broken out.

Of course, Yua also knew that without Hanzo, the Land of Rain would have long been divided up by the three kingdoms of Fire, Wind, and Earth, and completely become a buffer zone between the three great powers.

By then, the people of the Rain Country will not have an easy time either.

Of course, there wouldn't be a war like the one we have now.

You Ya didn't know which option was better, nor did he want to know.

All he needs to know is that weak countries are bound to be attacked.

In August of the 27th year of Konoha, a film invested in by Yuya and based on a script provided by an unknown source, wrapped up filming.

Yuya held a preview screening of Konoha Inner City.

There are fifty screening locations in each of the four urban districts: east, west, south, and north.

However, this did not exist in the territories of the major families.

Therefore, if members of these families wanted to see what this so-called movie was as soon as possible, they had to leave their clan territory, come to the commoners' area, and, like the commoners, carry a small stool to see what this movie was all about.

Strictly speaking, Yuya could have shown this movie on television.

But how big is a TV screen compared to an outdoor projection?

Can they even be compared?

The first thing we need to do is to give the villagers a real shock.

The sheer scale of the projection screen, covering two entire buildings, was a spectacle that a small 20-inch television could never replicate.

As for the curtain possibly being blown by the wind...

There are ninjas watching, so it won't happen.

The ninjas would shield them from the rain.

Moreover, the weather is perfect today, with a bright moon hanging high in the night sky and a gentle breeze, so nothing unexpected is likely to happen.

That very night, the vast majority of the villagers in Konoha were stunned by the movie they were seeing for the first time in their lives.

Although it was a black and white film, lacking the brilliance of later color or 4K movies, the memories of this night will be something they cherish for the rest of their lives.

Yuya went out with Mito Uzumaki today. After disguising themselves, they sat with the villagers at a screening site in the East District to watch the movie.

Tonight, nothing unexpected happened.

This two-hour-plus movie, titled "Konoha Holiday," made the villagers of Konoha fall in love with film.

Meanwhile, the girl from the Moonlight family became a goddess in the hearts of countless Konoha villagers.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Youya launched a series of merchandise related to the movie.

The female protagonist wears a princess dress, hair clips, stockings, and crystal shoes, and her main goal is to empty the wallets of the women in the village, or the wallets of their husbands.

A month later, You Ya did the math. Although he had invested tens of millions of taels, he had made hundreds of millions in just one month selling merchandise. Tsk tsk, it's only been a month! Sigh, money is really too easy to make. Well, I should probably hold back a bit. I can't let these people spend their food money on these useless things.

In September of the 27th year of Konoha, Tobirama Senju found Yua and first asked when the next movie would be made before getting down to business:

He's developed the Chakra Cannon to its third generation.

Compared to the first generation of bulky and difficult-to-carry cannons with only so-so power, this generation's power is about the same, with a radius of about ten meters, but it has been changed to a detachable and transportable template.

Similarly, this also means that it can be mass-produced.

Yuya smiled with satisfaction. The next step was to develop another generation based on this, and then sell the first generation Chakra Cannon to those great traitors.

Yes, Sunagakure and the Land of Rain definitely need this.

Actually, it could have been split into two chapters, but after thinking about it, I decided against it; there's no need. Writing a book isn't about completing an assignment. [For those who haven't seen Roman Holiday, you should check it out, or at least watch the commentary. Although it's a film from the last century, and the plot seems cliché now, classics are classics for a reason. For example, the female lead is really beautiful, and it's a natural beauty, the kind that doesn't rely on any technology at all.]
