Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 160 Konoha 35 Years and Women's Money Is Really Too Easy to Make...

Why do I say this matter is related to Kakuzu?

There are many reasons.

However, to be more specific...

First, Kakuzu is strong enough.

He once mentioned to someone that he had fought against the First Hokage.

Second, the black market.

There are all sorts of missions on the black market, and Sakumo Hatake discovered that some of them are similar to instigating conflict between Konoha and other villages—usually assassinating political figures. Incidentally, Yua also has a bounty on the black market; the person who posted the bounty is unknown, but there are generally only a few options. Occasionally, there are other bounty targets.

Moreover, the compensation is substantial.

Third, Kakuzu is obsessed with money.

Jiao Du loves money, especially cash, and he has ample motivation to do so.

This is well-known in the black market; everyone knows it.

Yuya narrowed his eyes. Although he knew it was probably not Kakuzu, since he wouldn't provoke Konoha for no reason.

He likes money, but he's not stupid.

However... even so...

But please, Kakuzu, sacrifice yourself for the peace of Konoha and Kirigakure...

After keeping his decision to himself, Yuya nodded to Hatake Sakumo, acknowledging his hard work and stating that the main focus of the investigation would now be the black market...

After hesitating for a long time, Hatake Sakumo made his first suggestion to Yua: the investigation of the black market could be done by the Dark Division, and the investigation of the black market was a lot of work, so many people would definitely be dispatched, and it was not necessarily necessary for him. Of course, he would not object if he really had to be sent.

However, the implication was that he didn't want to investigate the black market.

Yuya became interested. What was going on? While Hatake Sakumo wouldn't be called a workaholic, he was certainly very responsible. Although he said he'd go if he really wanted to, that was definitely a subtle way of saying he didn't want to go...

You Ya narrowed his eyes. Could it be...?

Yu Ya smiled slightly and casually agreed: "Ah, of course, I'll talk to the head of the Dark Division. But... may I ask why you're reluctant to go on a mission to investigate the black market?"

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo was about to explain, Yua smiled and said, "Don't rush to deny it, your thoughts are written all over your face."

Sakumo Hatake remained silent for a moment, then told Yua some news.

He's getting engaged.

Youya was startled, then instantly realized what was happening...

Sakumo Hatake is getting engaged, which means...

Is Kakashi Hatake coming soon?

You Ya immediately beamed and said that was great, then gossiped about which family the person was from.

After all, Kakashi's mother never appeared in the Naruto anime.

Sakumo Hatake awkwardly explained that it was a girl named Midorino.

Yuya nodded, then gossiped for a long time, almost breaking Hatake Sakumo's guard before letting him leave.

After Sakumo Hatake left, Yua narrowed his eyes.

Let's put aside the gossip for now, although gossip is quite appealing...

Yuya seems to have found a way to get the villagers of Konoha to spend money...

Hiahiahia, villagers, open your wallets wide!

……

In the 35th year of Konoha, a few days after the New Year, the villagers gradually began to return to work.

Although the holiday was strictly enforced, some people were still criticized by their families for only staying at home for three days.

After all, he lives close to the village and doesn't usually stay away from home all year round.

The New Year is just an auspicious occasion. There was no such tradition in the more than 20 years since Konoha was founded. It was Yua who felt that it was too boring to celebrate the New Year without anything, so he forcibly gave it this meaning.

Therefore, for many villagers in Konoha, the New Year is probably just an ordinary holiday...

Naturally, some people will feel that staying at home for too long during the Spring Festival is not as good as getting triple pay for working overtime.

However, it's no use if one or two people are willing to work overtime. A workshop has at least forty or fifty people. Losing one or two people won't make a difference, but if there are only one or two, the workshop can't operate.

Therefore, some people call in a group of people to work overtime.

As a result, a chain reaction ensued, and a large number of people came to work.

This has led to most factories resuming operations after only five days of holiday.

Although You Ya was somewhat speechless, he didn't care. Being busy was good, being busy was good.

He's relaxed while everyone else is busy.

That gave me time to go home.

and……

This is a good opportunity to give my plan a try.

So, on January 5th, You Ya, who hadn't been home for four consecutive days, returned home carrying large and small shopping bags.

When the doorbell was rang, a voice inside said, "Coming!" and soon Tsunade, wearing an apron, opened the door.

Upon seeing that it was Yua, Tsunade immediately rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "So you finally decided to come back?"

Despite saying that, Tsunade's body language betrayed her, and she opened the door.

Yuya grinned: "There's no other way. After all, I have to be responsible for the whole village. I also have to give them an explanation for what happened in Kirigakure."

Tsunade pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "I know that already."

As she spoke, she noticed the shopping bags hanging on Yua's body. Her eyes darted around, and Tsunade crossed her arms, asking, "What are these?"

You Ya chuckled: "It's to apologize, I bought it especially to apologize to you."

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "What a joke, just because you have a little money you think you can spend it all like that, really..."

Tsunade then turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Yuya knew that he had passed Tsunade's test.

"Beep beep beep"

The travelogue writer ran out of the room wearing soft-soled, squeaky shoes that made a sound when stepped on.

Then, muttering "Daddy, Daddy, hug me," he ran towards Youya.

Youya picked up Youji: "Hey, you little fatty, you're getting fatter and fatter!"

The three-year-old's travelogue was already able to speak in a somewhat coherent and logical manner.

However, perhaps because he rarely saw Yua, Yuki and Tsunade were not very close, but he was very close to Yua.

After all, people cherish each other more when they see each other less often.

Well, compared to Yuya, although Yuya hugs Yuya the first thing every time she comes back, it's usually followed by...

"Where's Lulu? Come on, take me to find your sister!"

Yu Ji, wearing her whistling shoes, dragged You Ya to find her younger sister.

And sure enough, it woke up Yulu, who was fast asleep.

Then came the earth-shattering wailing.

However, this house is very soundproof, so you don't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors.

Just ...

"Yoo-ya! What are you doing?! I finally managed to get him to sleep!"

"..."

You Ya sat obediently at the dining table with his head drooping.

Yuki sat in his own special high chair, while Tsunade fed him porridge and scolded Yua.

You Ya didn't dare to talk back, but repeatedly assured that he would definitely be more careful in the future.

Well, even so, I still visit my sister every time.

Yuru is really cute!

Tsunade has temporarily suspended her duties at the hospital because she needs to take care of her two children and collect, organize, and verify various medical knowledge.

Furthermore, a basic surgical guide has been compiled, including the basic requirements of the operating room, how to prepare yourself mentally to relieve tension during surgery, and the various types of surgical tools needed during surgery.

In the later stages of Naruto, after Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was instantly defeated by Madara Uchiha, Sakura's act of cutting open his abdomen and manually massaging Naruto's heart is a scene that everyone remembers vividly.

That's incredibly impressive, but you can't really blame Sakura, since there weren't the conditions or equipment to implant a pacemaker in the middle of nowhere back then.

The basic surgical manual covers the relevant content, but doesn't contain much specific surgical information.

The intermediate booklet that Tsunade is currently writing covers various surgical procedures, categorizing them by the human body into neurology, arm surgery, trunk surgery, and leg surgery. Each of these departments is further divided into internal medicine and surgery, and each internal medicine and surgery department is further divided into different parts of the human body.

Basically, if you learn the intermediate level manual, you should be able to become a junior doctor.

However, judging from Tsunade's condition, even with Katsuragi's help, it's impossible to accomplish this within a year or two.

However, once they can get out, they'll be close to mass-producing doctors.

Although one of Youya's doctor classmates in his previous life had a very tough seven-year college life (4 undergraduate and 3 graduate programs) and even worked as a slave in a hospital for half a year, his salary was always below 5,000 until he became an attending physician, relying on the help of Youya and his brothers. However, his life changed dramatically after he became an attending physician at the age of 28.

Before, when he went on blind dates, others looked down on him, but now it's his turn to look down on others.

The most obvious point is that she is a 32-year-old, pretty woman who is divorced, has a five-year-old daughter, owns an apartment in Wuhan, has another apartment given to her by her ex-husband after their divorce, and her family also owns a villa. She is a senior executive of a private company and earns 1 million RMB a year.

However, despite this, the woman was very satisfied during the blind date, but Youya's friend rejected her because he didn't think she was very pretty...

You Ya was stunned. How beautiful could a 32-year-old woman be?

Are their conditions not good enough?

And then the most outrageous part came: the woman not only wasn't angry, but also added his contact information, indicating that he could contact her if he wanted to in the future.

You Ya was stunned. Are doctors really that popular?

Of course, it is true that doctors who have been officially hired and have professional titles have a secure job; even if the hospital goes out of business in the future, there will definitely be people who want them.

Of course, on the other hand, once you start a hospital, you don't have to worry about it failing; the only problem is how to start it.

Just like in Konoha Village now, doctors undoubtedly have the highest status among ordinary people in Konoha Village.

Even some ninjas couldn't help but show them respect.

After all, they are the people who can save your life. Who can guarantee that they will never get sick in their lifetime?

After finishing dinner, Tsunade looked at the large and small bags that Yua had brought back and placed on the sofa. Then she threw down the bowls and chopsticks, ran to the sofa, picked up the remote control, and started watching Masked Rider every Friday with Yuki.

A three-year-old can't understand the specific plot of a travelogue, but can still sing along with the TV.

Tsunade took a deep breath and decided to give the father and son some face today and not lose her temper.

After cleaning up the dishes, Tsunade, holding a feather duster, looked at Yua and asked, "When are you going to take a bath?"

Youya felt a chill run down her spine. Youji pulled Youya, saying, "Daddy, Daddy! Let's wash together!"

Yuya hugged Yuki, coughed, and looked at Tsunade with a serious expression: "Hey, you saw it too, Yuki insisted on coming with me. It's not that I didn't want to shower with you."

Tsunade blushed instantly, raising the weapon in her hand: "What are you saying in front of the child?!"

Yuya simply grabbed the travelogue and left. He'd already finished watching Masked Rider, and he had no interest in the rest of the news or the travelogue.

After all, he deals with these kinds of things in the office every day, so why would he need to keep watching the news?

More than an hour later, the father and son came out of the bathroom smelling fresh, while Tsunade mopped the floor, washed the clothes, and changed the bed sheets and duvet cover.

Yuki was urged by Tsunade to go to her room to sleep, but being a child, she was unwilling to obediently go to sleep.

Finally, Yua and Yuki played with the toys for a while. These toys were made by a merchant from Konoha Village who saw a business opportunity and produced Masked Rider toys. And let me tell you, they sold really well.

However, Yuya herself knew that the toy factory only paid her a commission fee, not an endorsement fee.

Well, Yuya was too lazy to remind him of that.

When competitors emerge in the future, they will inevitably fight over the "official" endorsement.

Why should he remind us beforehand? Just let things take their natural course.

It was almost nine o'clock at night, and Yuki still refused to go to sleep, forcing Tsunade to grab a feather duster and prepare to beat him up. Yuki, despite his young age, was very perceptive and pushed his sister back to her room before Tsunade could completely lose her temper, even locking the door behind her. Of course, the little brat had no idea that there was such a thing as a key.

Tsunade shook her head helplessly, then glanced at Yua, squinted, and remained silent.

Yuya felt a chill run down his spine. He walked over and hugged her with an awkward smile, only to be stopped by Tsunade with a feather duster: "Wait a minute, let me settle some scores with you first."

You Ya chuckled awkwardly: "Yes, what accounts do you have..."

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "Hmph, don't give me that nonsense. You went to the research institute yesterday and even spent the night there. You don't think I didn't know, do you?"

"How much do you dislike your family? You'd rather spend the night at a research institute than go home?"

You Ya panicked: "That's different! I went to the research institute to see the latest research findings!"

Of course, I also need to visit Orochimaru. After being freed from Tobirama Senju's control, Orochimaru has completely let loose. Now, apart from Yua giving him missions, he spends most of his time self-harming in the research institute. It's obvious that this guy took Yua's advice to do biology seriously.

There are four major pitfalls: biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science. I wonder if Orochimaru is interested in the other three. If he is, that would be great, but if not, I won't force it.

Therefore, You Ya's move to the research institute can be described as a selfless act.

Tsunade persisted, "So you'd rather spend the night there with those doctors in white coats than come back?!"

Yuya gave up on explaining. No matter what, Tsunade was a woman, and being unreasonable was a woman's privilege.

So Yuya simply changed the subject: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. These are just gifts for you..."

Tsunade rolled her eyes, looking disdainful. "It's just some jewelry. You really think you can bribe me?"

You Ya chuckled: "Open it first, then we'll talk."

Tsunade snorted, casually picked up a paper bag, took out the box inside, and then opened it...

Even with just a small crack, a dazzling light emanated from within.

Tsunade was stung so badly she couldn't open her eyes. After a while, once her eyes adjusted, she saw a pure, transparent crystal necklace with a large, sky-blue gemstone at the bottom that was radiating light. The gemstone was surrounded by diamonds set into the crystal.

With just one glance, Tsunade's gaze was fixed on him.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Yuya felt much more at ease.

Tsunade is not someone who pays much attention to appearance or material possessions.

She likes money only because some of her special hobbies require spending a lot of money.

As for the pendants, necklaces, rings, bracelets and the like in Konoha Village, although they contained gold and gemstones, Tsunade never gave them a second glance.

Of course, Tsunade did have some fond memories of the time when she was getting engaged to Yua and picking out rings, as well as the period right after their marriage.

However, now that the two children are taking up most of Tsunade's energy, she would rather spend her time on her children or writing medical books than go shopping.

However, how can those necklaces with nylon ropes and pendants compare to Yua's necklace, which represents the pinnacle of Konoha's current industrialization?

Of course, from Youya's perspective, this necklace still has some shortcomings.

The most obvious issue is that the necklace is somewhat rough because the polishing process cannot reach the finer nanoscale level. The diamonds also appear particularly reflective, and even the gemstones appear too bright and lose their original color.

However, since You Ya was just conducting experiments, it didn't really matter.

And now it's clear that the results of the experiment are fantastic.

Yu Ya then pressed his advantage: "This is the best state I achieved yesterday when I went to the research institute and had them use all their equipment and every possible method. There are still many scrapped cases, but I gave them all to the people at the research institute. Those scrapped cases weren't very good."

Tsunade covered her mouth, and her gaze towards Yua softened considerably.

Without a doubt, this necklace had deeply moved her.

"I see, I misunderstood you."

Yuya raised an eyebrow upon hearing Tsunade's prompt apology.

He truly hadn't expected that a mere necklace could move Tsunade so deeply...

Hmm, I miscalculated. The other things should have been brought out gradually…

Tsunade continued unpacking the paper bag, and when she saw the crystal shoes, the ring that connected her arm to her finger, a bottle of perfume, a diamond hair accessory...

Tsunade's smile gradually brightened.

Finally, after unpacking all the paper bags, Tsunade looked at Yua with red eyes: "Really... you... you're like this..."

How can I not like you, darling!

After saying that, her eyes lit up and she hugged Yuya tightly...

--------

The next day:

Yuya, whose legs were a little weak, greeted the radiant Tsunade and went to work.

Tsunade was in a very good mood and told Yuya to be careful on the way.

Of course, this is just a cliché.

If Yuya is in danger, Konoha will definitely be in imminent danger as well.

When Yuya arrived at the Hokage's office, he took out the luxury goods proposal he had prepared in advance and stamped it without hesitation.

Sorry, Konoha's male comrades.

but……

Who told you to save money like crazy for me? Spend it!

Spend it like crazy!!!

How did Konoha become strong without you spending money?

So, for the sake of Konoha's strength, I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to have to empty your wallets!

……

And the final result was also very...

gratifying……

A week.

It was only a short week.

You Ya looked at the more than 10 billion taels of cash that the white gloves he had arranged had presented to him and nodded in satisfaction.

That's how it should be!

With so much money, how can I live like a hamster every day?

"Knock knock knock"

"Please come in~ Um, Uncle Jing? What can I do for you?"

"Um, well, it's nothing serious... um, you know, do you still have any of those necklaces and bracelets you gave to Tsunade?"

"Well, we're out of stock, but if you specifically want it, Uncle Jing, I can have it custom-made for you."

But I never expected Uncle Jing to be so romantic!

Uchiha Kagami sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "I don't understand at all, but your Tsunade has been going on a killing spree in the village lately, taking her travelogue and her companion for walks every day. Everyone in the village knows how many things you've given her... Your aunt has never asked me for anything before, but this time she really likes it, so I... swallowed my pride and came to you..."

You Ya: "..."

Ok……

It seems I have indeed forgotten something...

It's true that women's money is easy to make...

But it seems a bit too easy to make money...

Most of these women, who came from the war years, were naturally virtuous and capable.

But that doesn't mean they don't like sparkly jewelry...

Well……

Konoha's production capacity...

Can you keep up?

You Ya was a little suspicious.

--------

But no matter what, the basic goal has definitely been achieved.

Even if this money is kept untouched after it's collected, it can be used to help in emergencies.

The fact that those four damned countries had problems at the same time last time taught Youya a lesson.

No matter how capable you are, you can't succeed without having contingency plans.

Because you never know how badly your teammates might perform...

In February of Konoha Year 35, when representatives from other villages came to Konoha to discuss cooperation, Yuya produced a basic surgical manual that Tsunade had compiled before the new year. Yuya titled it "Precautions for the Practical Application of Surgical Medical Methods".

Yes, it's easy to understand.

Youya brought it out for no other purpose than to encourage other villages to promote it as well.

The reason, of course, is to make the world develop better, to make the world free from pain, and to make fewer and fewer people die.

Okay, that's a high-sounding reason. The real reason is that other villages also need to become stronger; they're not developing...

Who is You Ya going to cut with that leek knife he's carrying?

Of course, this purpose cannot be revealed.

And even if that is the real purpose, Yuya's goal of making other villages develop better and better remains unchanged.

Therefore, other villages could not refuse.

As a result, Yua became famous in the ninja world.

Especially after countless people survived various surgeries, they naturally had even greater respect for Youya.

after all……

Youya could have kept these things hidden, allowing only the people of Konoha to learn them, and not passing them on to other villages.

But Yuya still took it out.

Such a selfless person naturally received unanimous praise from everyone in the ninja world...
