Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 139 Konoha Year 31

The next day, Yuya arrived at the Hokage's office early, as he was used to coming this early every day.

Furthermore, the relocation of outdated industries to the Land of Fire cannot be delayed.

At the same time, the development of new industrial parks should not be delayed.

The heart of an electronic product is the circuit board, and the circuit board needs individual components to function.

Strictly speaking, this technology is not difficult. After Konoha made electric fans and televisions, other countries bought them and will definitely be able to replicate them within ten years.

Therefore, this kind of related technology is not highly valued by the game industry.

However, this technology cannot be simply transferred to other countries.

Let's just hand it over to the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and also mention the technology for preventing theft.

After all, You Ya knows what real business warfare is like.

What you imagine a business war to be: two leaders countering each other's moves, using large sums of money for offensive and defensive business operations.

The actual business warfare involved: pulling the main power switch, stealing technology, bribing insiders...

Although it's a low-level approach, there's no doubt that doing it this way achieves twice the result with half the effort.

……

Since getting married, You Ya tries to go home as often as possible.

After becoming Hokage, the young master was so busy with his duties that he neglected his family and ended up paying less attention to his rebellious son.

The result was that the family was in complete chaos.

However, to be fair, the infrastructure development in Konoha Village has been quite good since the Crown Prince took office. The railway was completed in ten years, and various infrastructure facilities in the village have also been developed.

They even set up a research institute, but the director was a nobody, a nobody who dared to instigate Boruto.

You Ya definitely wants to take control of the research institute; the power that this institution can unleash is terrifying.

Yes, maintaining a stable family is also a very important reason.

Tsunade actually had a very happy month-long honeymoon.

After all, it's natural to be happy when a long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled.

Moreover, Tsunade and Yua originally agreed to discuss marriage two years later, when Tsunade turned 20.

I just happened to be here because of some urgent matters.

Furthermore, Mito Uzumaki and Tobirama Senju also felt that it would be better for Yua to get married sooner.

After all, the two of them could feel their bodies rapidly declining, and seeing You Yacheng's family as soon as possible was their biggest wish.

The final stage of Konoha's 30-year history is the village's year-end tradition, where everyone gathers together for a year-end summary.

Since the incident of embezzlement in Konoha, Tobirama Senju has delegated some supervisory authority to the Anbu.

The Anbu is really in a terrible situation. They are basically responsible for everything in Konoha, but due to the special nature of the Anbu's organization, they have no chance of enforcing the law in the open.

He's the one who actually does the work; if there are results, it's the credit of the person in power; if there are no results, then he has to take the blame.

The organization created by Tobirama Senju is just what I wanted.

However, strictly speaking, the Dark Division actually wields considerable power, and can be involved in almost every aspect of life.

However, the Anbu is ultimately an organization that cannot be brought into the light, so the Hokage is not selected from within the Anbu.

This will become clear later in Shimura Danzo's life.

He was from the same era as Hiruzen Sarutobi, spent all his time in the Anbu, and even started Root. He was so shady that nobody knew him.

Every day, he would linger in the shadows, plotting how to climb the social ladder.

However, in this life, Shimura Danzo has a more relaxed attitude.

When Yua and Tsunade got married, this guy even came over in person to give them a gift.

Yuya doesn't mind receiving gifts.

The fact that Danzo, who spends all his time at home, would come out and give him gifts is enough to say a lot.

Well... okay, the reason why Shimura Danzo is a shut-in is probably because he is the head of the Shimura family. In fact, he is quite busy every day and has to deal with a lot of things.

The ninja clans of Konoha are gradually transitioning to a new generation of clan leaders.

Just as Tobirama Senju had prepared in advance, those who rose to power were basically his students.

It can be said that these newly appointed family heads were truly obedient to Tobirama Senju.

Yuya felt that he had never been so comfortable in his position as Hokage.

As the year draws to a close, the newly appointed patriarchs of these families have already handed over the relevant data without the need for much explanation.

It saved me a lot of time traveling to Asia.

At the end of the 30th year of Konoha's reign, the village's GDP finally exceeded 100 billion ryo.

While it might not seem like much to Yua, it was a number that Tobirama Senju had never dared to dream of before.

Yuya has been in power for over a decade, increasing Konoha's GDP more than tenfold. That's truly remarkable.

However, this is only now. Having reached the level of hundreds of billions, if we want to continue moving towards trillions, the population of Konoha Village must continue to break through.

If Konoha had a population of ten million, Yuya would have already built up Konoha's infrastructure simply by sheer numbers.

Unlike now, even now, only the southern part of Konoha's inner city has been renovated.

For Tobirama Senju, it wouldn't hurt to go a little slower, since everyone had witnessed the changes in Konoha.

Unless they are spies from other countries, they would pretend to be blind to Konoha's current achievements while secretly harboring resentment.

But for Youya, he knew how to continue developing, but being limited by a million people prevented him from taking the next step, which was really frustrating.

More importantly, now that there's no war, there are no refugees to rely on to lure people from other countries to Konoha, so progress is really slow.

It would be better to simply stop this advertising budget altogether, and use the money for other areas that need development.

The 30-year reign of Konoha ended so peacefully.

To sum up, apart from Yua's wedding, nothing major happened in Konoha this year.

This is actually what development should look like. Why are there so many major events? If there were particularly big events every year, it would mean that the country is in a precarious situation.

The Hidden Mist Village proved this point at the beginning of Konoha 31.

In early 31, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure was attacked. Although the assassination attempt ultimately failed, it was enough to prove that Kirigakure's powder keg had been completely ignited.

After collecting the information, Yuya understood that this was a power struggle that ultimately erupted due to the conflict of interests among the various families in Kirigakure.

However, it's truly impressive that Kirigakure could escalate its internal strife to this level.

According to the intelligence gathered, three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are on the side of the Third Mizukage, while the other four are from clans within the Mist Village.

Previously, the strength of the two sides was maintained in a delicate balance. After all, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had a reputation for their power, and the power to distribute the ninja swords of Kirigakure was in the hands of the Third Mizukage.

Although you can refuse to give it up, officially speaking, the ninja sword already belongs to someone else, and it's okay for them to kill you and take the sword.

Of course, the internal problems of Kirigakure were one aspect, but what truly made Yua realize that Kirigakure had pulled off a major stunt was...

For some reason, the Sand Explosion Clan of Sunagakure has somehow gotten involved with the clans of Kirigakure that were fighting against the Third Mizukage...
