Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 212 Cell Phones and Messages

Let's leave that aside for now and take a look at the situation in Yuya's world.

"These are the population statistics. The inner city's population has exceeded 1.5 million, and the outer city's population has reached 1 million. Including migrant workers, Konoha Village's total population has exceeded 3 million," Nara Shikaya said, looking at Yua with a somewhat excited expression.

You Ya nodded, but in reality, he didn't think much of it.

It's only three million, which sounds like a lot, but nearly half of that population are over 40 or under 10.

If the real main force, namely young and middle-aged people, hadn't been attracted by the migrant workers, the proportion of them would likely have collapsed.

It can only be said that Yua played the game of "borrowing a chicken to lay an egg" very well. After building up Konoha, Yua started thinking about how to fool... well, how to attract people from other villages and countries to come to Konoha to work.

Just like the attraction that so-called megacities of the past exerted on people from other cities.

It sounds like you could live a good life there, even earning over 10,000 yuan a month just by washing dishes.

But in reality, once you actually go to that megacity, you'll find that the dazzling prosperity is real, the extravagance and lavish spending are real, and so is the extravagance and lavish spending.

But what does all this have to do with you?

Once you go there, you'll just be an ordinary person at the very bottom, one of the people serving these others.

Even so, given the current level of development in Konoha Village, to put it bluntly, even the dogs in Konoha Village eat much better than people in other places.

Therefore, even if you find that there is no gold everywhere after you arrive, you still have to work honestly, and it may even be more tiring than farming and raising mulberry trees at home.

But looking at the environment of Konoha Village, and then thinking about his hometown...

Alright, I guess I'll just stay here and keep working.

At least you can live quite comfortably here, right?

The current structure of Konoha is that most people in the outer city apply for a temporary residence permit every year and then come to Konoha's inner city to rent houses and work.

People from other places, because they are not eligible to apply for temporary residence permits, can only work and live in the outer city.

One thing is true: Konoha is very generous with its money these days.

While it's not impossible for workers to be mistreated or have their wages withheld, such situations will definitely be investigated if someone reports them.

If the facts are verified, then arrest the person directly, without any hesitation.

Even if the security department is short-handed, Yuya will still have the secret service do it.

He knew that the main workforce of Konoha Village today, namely the factory workers, were mostly people from the outer cities of Konoha or people who admired Konoha and had come from afar.

These people are the main workforce; as for the people in Konoha's inner city...

You can't expect people who own two houses worth tens of millions of taels each to work hard.

To be fair, it's already quite good that they didn't slack off but instead focused on passing the civil service exam or getting jobs in laboratories and other similar places.

If it were Yuya, she would have already given up.

He could sell a house for ten or twenty million taels of silver, and make two or three hundred thousand taels of silver a year just by depositing it in the bank.

Okay, if that's the case, then we're completely lying low and won't buy any new technology.

Given Konoha's current development, smartphones will inevitably be released sooner or later.

Of course, this is Yuya's understanding of smartphones, but in reality, given the level of understanding people have in this world...

……

When You Ya returned home, he saw You Ji and You Lu sitting on the sofa, watching the TV screen intently.

Tsunade sat to the side, wearing only a thin nightgown, her eyes fixed on the television screen.

You Ya was a little puzzled. He put down his briefcase, got up and walked to the sofa, where he saw the content on the TV.

Then he was speechless. You guys were looking at it so seriously, I thought it was something special, but it turned out to be just a GG.

uninteresting.

Yuya put down his briefcase, took off his coat, and waited a while. After the show ended, Tsunade stood up and asked Yuya, "Honey, is what they said on TV true? As long as you have one of those cell phones, you can contact another person in Konoha anytime?"

"Ah, it's true." Yuya nodded. "Actually, it's not just Konoha, it can be done in several other countries as well."

Hmm... except for Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

After all, the internal infrastructure of Kirigakure is not yet fully rebuilt; the roads are not yet repaired, and the signal towers have not been laid at all.

Tsunade covered her mouth in surprise.

Youya looked at the other person with amusement: "You're surprised already? This is nothing. I'll bring one back for you tomorrow and teach you how to use it."

Travelogue and travelogue suddenly perked up.

You Lu hugged You Ya's leg tightly: "Daddy..."

She didn't say anything, just blinked her big, bright eyes at Youya.

You Ya immediately picked up You Lu: "Okay, okay, I'll bring one back for Xiao Lu tomorrow too."

The travelogue blinked its big, bright eyes and said, "Daddy~"

"If you get over 90 on your next math exam, I'll give you one." You Ya turned around and carried You Lu to the dining table.

Travelogue: "..."

My son must have been adopted...yes, definitely.

That night, Tsunade lay down next to Yua, holding him close and burying her head in his neck, whispering, "I still find it hard to believe. The things you made before were impressive, but this one is especially impressive."

Yuya, however, did not take credit: "This was all thanks to Orochimaru. He improved the signal transmission efficiency from 1K to 1M and the network speed from 2G to 3G. Tsk, if you ask me, if Orochimaru hadn't been thinking about immortality and human experiments all the time, he would definitely be Konoha's most popular and accomplished researcher."

Tsunade remained silent, only holding him tighter.

Orochimaru was one of her few friends, no matter what. She had studied with him and Jiraiya at school since childhood, and later they trained together under Hiruzen Sarutobi...

Yuya is pleased that Orochimaru and Tsunade value him, but...

Ugh……

With a silent sigh, Tsunade could only be angry at their lack of ambition.

Orochimaru is such a disappointment!

What are you always thinking about with your stupid human experiments?!

Can't you contribute to the development of Konoha?!

This is typical Hokage thinking. It seems that even if she hadn't become Hokage, given Tsunade's personality, she would still have considered making Konoha a better place if there was a possibility for her.

It's just a pity...

Orochimaru is no longer in Konoha.

……

The next day, Yuya was stunned when he saw the data reported by Nara Shika: "Sold out?! I prepared 100,000 units for the first batch!"

Nara Shika was also very excited: "That's because this product is epoch-making! Yua... sir... this phone allows people to communicate regardless of distance! And the monthly phone bill is only 500 ryo..."

"Many people spend more than five hundred taels on a single meal!"

Nara Shika's excitement was impossible to hide.

You Ya was somewhat bewildered.

Is this thing really that amazing?

The appearance of this phone is copied from... well, the design.

Its appearance is exactly like the Nokia 1100, a legendary machine from Nokia.

In the boot screen, Yua mischievously changed the two hands from shaking hands to forming a reconciliation seal, which shows that Yua put a lot of thought into this work.

Youya never expected it to sell out so quickly.

Since it was the first batch, it couldn't be cheap, so You Yading's price was 200,000 taels.

That's enough to buy a smaller TV and a smaller refrigerator.

But it still sold out.

In response, Yuya could only say, "I never imagined there were so many wealthy people in Konoha Village..."

but……

is it necessary?

This is a device with built-in vibration, a replaceable shell, a built-in antenna, a clock, scene modes, contact group management, memos, etc.

It's just a regular mobile phone.

You Ya said that even if I were given this thing, I wouldn't bother playing with it.

However~

Since it's selling like hotcakes, let's speed up production!

"Go and inform the factory to speed up production and complete the next batch within three days."

In fact, Youya knew there would be a second and third batch, after all, novelties will always find buyers.

We commonly refer to such people as suckers.

But I didn't expect so many this time.

Although launching the second and third batches immediately is a bit rushed, I suppose those people won't have any objections, considering the triple overtime pay.

"Oh, by the way, please tell them to send me three units this time, I need them tonight."

"OK."

"Also..." Yuya tapped the table with his fingers, then sighed after a moment, "Send some to the Land of Grass as well, and write down their office phone number along with it."

"Yes."

Although Nara Shika was somewhat puzzled, he didn't say anything.

As a secretary, he knows what questions he should and shouldn't ask.

The commercial street in Konoha Village has been particularly busy these past few days.

Yuya's original intention was to increase communication and interaction among the villagers of Konoha. Having a mobile phone is quite convenient, isn't it?

As a result, this thing inexplicably became a luxury item.

The official price was 200,000 taels, but the price in private transactions among villagers had already soared to 250,000 taels.

Damn it, you scalpers are trying to do business with me?!

You Ya was about to fly into a rage and teach these scalpers a lesson, but a piece of news silenced him.

Youji and Youlu had their phones confiscated while they were playing in class at school.

Ah this...

That familiar taste~

After returning home, Yu Ji was stripped of his pants and severely beaten by Tsunade with a feather duster.

Yu Lu, who was watching from the side, was trembling with fear. When she saw You Ya, it was as if she had seen a savior.

"dad!"

With a startled cry, You Lu rushed over.

Yuya hugged Yulu and comforted Tsunade, saying, "It's just that your phone was confiscated in class. Back in the day, your dad would buy a new one every time it was confiscated. I bought more than a dozen MP3 players, MP4 players, and cell phones in a year."

It's specifically for reading novels.

This is simply not going to work.

After Tsunade unleashed her fury, Yua quickly tried to calm her down.

Then Yuya assured Tsunade that he would set rules so that students would hand over their phones before class and that a dozen storage bags would be placed at the front of each classroom and attached to the wall. Students would put their phones in the bags before class and could take them back to play with after class.

In addition, students are not allowed to use their phones during class; if caught, they will be confiscated.

Youya has the authority and ability to issue commands.

Although this caused many children to wail in despair, Yu Ji and You Lu were also pitied by their classmates at school.

"Yuki! What are you doing?! Why don't you sit down?!" The Sarutobi clan teacher, wearing black-rimmed glasses, frowned at the other person.

Youji is in his final year of elementary school, and to be honest, his grades aren't bad, although the main reason might be that the elementary school questions aren't difficult.

However, this guy is quite mischievous.

However, because of his father, the school teachers did not dare to be too harsh on him.

Seeing that Youji was still standing when class started, the teacher couldn't help but frown.

Then I heard Youji crying, "Teacher, my mom scolded me yesterday, and my butt hurts whenever I touch anything now. I'll just stand instead of sitting..."

The teacher paused, then gave a strange look for a moment before nodding: "Then let's leave it at that."

After class ended, a few of Youji's cronies gathered around.

"Ouch! Don't touch it! It really hurts!"

The travelogue quickly stopped several people who wanted to use their hands to check if he was really injured.

"Hiss... Does your mother, Lady Tsunade, really hit that hard?" A child gasped.

Another child spoke up nervously, "It's not just that! Let me tell you, you know Shinnosuke? You know, the guy from the really rich family, he got sick and went to the hospital. I happened to be with my sister when she got her shot that day..."

Then I saw Lady Tsunade... she was holding such a huge syringe! It was this huge!

The children immediately showed expressions of fear.

The way she looked at the travelogue was also full of pity.

The travelogue scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, what's so special about that? Just wait until I grow up..."

The others gathered around, waiting for him to continue.

"When I grow up, I'll find a wife, have a son, and beat him up!" Youji said with a ferocious expression.

"Tch~" The students immediately looked disdainful.

I thought you were so brave, but this is all you are?!

……

Forty-one years passed in Konoha, day by day.

Until this day in mid-June of Konoha Year 41...

Orochimaru called Yua...

"Oh, that's quite unusual, Orochimaru. You actually contacted me on your own initiative?"

"Big brother! Something terrible has happened! Fugaku, Hiashi, and Hizashi, who were on an exchange program in another world, are all seriously injured!"

"What did you say?! How is that possible! Didn't you say that yin-yang magnet could send them back instantly?!" Youya immediately became anxious.

If anything happens to these three people...

That would have a huge impact on the future...

Orochimaru's voice on the phone sounded somewhat exasperated: "That's true, but they also need to activate it themselves!"

In that other world, Konoha Village was attacked, and their first instinct wasn't to run, but to fight the attackers!

Yuya was instantly enraged: "Are they out of their minds?! That's another world! That's another Konoha! What does their being attacked have to do with the three of them?! They..."

Wait, what did you say? Another Konoha village was attacked?

Are you sure this is Konoha Village?!

Orochimaru hurriedly replied on the other end of the phone, "That's right! I'm sure! And that village should be completely destroyed by now..."

As Youya listened, he began to understand...

hissing...

This matter...

This seems promising?

"Where are you? I'm coming right now! Let's go to another world together!"

"Huh?...Big brother, are you really going to...?"

"Okay, get everything ready on your end."

After saying that, Youya hung up the phone and frantically started pressing the buttons in the dark area.

A girl with black hair and wearing a mask appeared in the office.
