Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 238 The Three Little Ones and Ah Dui Dui Dui

It is a fact that the elders of the Uchiha clan have indeed improved their lives over the years as they no longer have to worry about food or clothing.

However, a comfortable life can corrupt one's mind.

The elders of the Uchiha clan are not the type to readily succumb to temptation.

With the generous annual allowance distributed to them by Youya, they could certainly live a stable life, even if their limited perspective prevented them from indulging in a life of debauchery.

Therefore, strictly speaking, their lifespans have all increased.

After all, life is better now, people are in a good mood, and they have money, so it's impossible for them to be unhappy.

It's impossible for everyone to be like Jack Ma, telling everyone they meet that he doesn't like money and just wants to be an ordinary teacher, right?

That's not just nonsense, it's pure deception.

If he really doesn't like money, he should just give it away. It's ridiculous that you want to be a teacher. Why don't you build a school, the most advanced school in the world, and become a teacher there?

To put it bluntly, it's still just a matter of saying one thing and doing another.

Don't act as if becoming the richest person in the country was an accident, a consequence you never wanted.

This doesn't really serve many other purposes besides making some people who work hard just to avoid going hungry feel disgusted.

Of course, when you send me a 100 RMB discount coupon every month, I have to admit you're the coolest guy ever, you're practically my dad.

But that's only on the day of repayment; at other times, they still won't hold back their insults.

The elders of the Uchiha clan had roughly the same feeling towards Yua.

Deep down, they knew that Youya had improved their lives.

However, as elders of the Uchiha clan, they could not bow down to Yua.

What Youya initially needed was not for them to bow down.

When Yua first came to power, I wonder if you all remember that he once wanted to build a hospital on the Uchiha clan's territory. However, at that time, the Uchiha clan leader at the time rejected the idea because the hospital would include a morgue.

After that, Yua began to attack the Uchiha clan.

However, the order should actually be reversed.

That is: because Yuya wanted to attack the Uchiha clan, he specifically targeted the Uchiha clan and took the hospital with the morgue to show to the Uchiha clan leader.

reason?

The reason was to divide and separate the various ninja clans.

Moreover, Yuya's actions were not solely directed at the Uchiha clan.

The Sarutobi, Shimura, and Hyuga families have all been cut by Yua to varying degrees; it all depends on how ruthless he is.

Without a doubt, Yua of the Uchiha clan would not refrain from attacking him.

But the problem is coming.

The Uchiha clan's territory...

It's still two-thirds the size it used to be!

You might not say that Fugaku Uchiha felt bad about the large area of ​​empty land, but Yua felt bad too!

As the saying goes, times change.

In the early days of his rule, Yuya needed to make an example of the Uchiha clan, so he chose them as that example.

Later, the Uchiha clan realized that continuing to fight against Yua would inevitably lead to problems, so they backed down and retreated to their clan territory.

Yua's subsequent approach to the Uchiha clan was to divide the clan members. As you have seen, the general operation was to first divide the ordinary Uchiha clan members and ninjas, and then further divide the Uchiha main line and branch ninja families in detail.

Today, there are actually only about two hundred ninjas left in the Uchiha clan's territory.

The total population is only about 600, most of whom are newborns in recent years.

More than 1,700 people are scattered throughout the inner city of Konoha.

Without a doubt, if Madara Uchiha were reborn at this point in time and saw that the Uchiha clan had grown to over two thousand people, even Madara himself would not have said that the Uchiha clan was currently living a miserable life.

If life is truly miserable and even having enough to eat is a luxury, then there's no way one would have the desire to have children.

However, the conflict between the Uchiha clan members within and outside the clan's territory is already a well-established fact.

However, this does not mean that the members of the Uchiha clan within the clan's territory are a monolithic group.

Do you still remember Obito's parents?

Even if it meant becoming disabled themselves, they wanted Obito to leave the Uchiha clan's territory.

However, the severely injured couple was saved by Tsunade herself. In fact, the injuries that could have left them disabled were healed within a month, the bandages were removed after three months, and they were fully recovered within six months.

What could the couple say?

Actually, sometimes Tsunade's medical skills don't have to be that amazing.

As expected, I received a notification from my family after I had finished recuperating.

Obito's parents are still working in the Security Service, toiling away as laborers.

However, in return, Obito's parents, having been hospitalized for too long, applied to allow Obito and his grandmother to leave the Uchiha clan's territory.

The Uchiha clan had no reason to refuse.

If one less person is served, one less person will eat, and they can get a bigger share. The people of the Uchiha clan have no reason to refuse such a good thing.

So, Obito and his grandmother finally left the Uchiha clan's territory.

From this incident, you can see that many people in the Uchiha clan area have already realized the problem.

What's the problem?

The Uchiha clan... has no future.

Or rather, compared to the Jonin promotion to Chunin that Yua could offer, whether it's joining the military or being transferred to various management positions in Konoha, even if it's just being transferred to manage a street, there would still be corresponding decision-making and handling authority.

This is real power!

But what about the security forces?

Every day, not only are I constantly being ordered around to do chores here and there, but the most crucial point is...

Even if you become the head of the security department...

and then?

What benefits will there be in the future?

As You Ya once said, he never believed in personal loyalty based on emotions; he only used self-interest to motivate others to do things for him.

Having said all that, besides reviewing the actions related to Yuya and the Uchiha clan, the most important point is what follows:

The elder of the Uchiha clan has passed away.

Moreover, he was over sixty years old and died peacefully in his sleep.

Don't think that his lifespan was short. This old man fought alongside Madara Uchiha and the Senju clan many times in the early days of the village's founding!

Moreover, he didn't escape unscathed; in fact, he had many hidden injuries.

Under these circumstances, it's already considered a very long life for him to live to his sixties.

After the elder passed away, Youya knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

As mentioned before, Yua's main objective was to split the Uchiha clan.

But this raises a problem.

If you've divided someone's people and then continue to try to seize their land, what will others think of you?

Therefore, Youya needed an excuse.

Or rather, he needed an excuse.

The death of this clan elder provided him with the perfect excuse.

So, Youya went to pay his respects to the deceased that day.

After the memorial service, Yua accepted Fugaku Uchiha's invitation to go to the Uchiha's inner quarters to discuss matters.

No one knows what Yua and Fugaku Uchiha talked about.

All they knew was that the next day, Fugaku Uchiha said that no other clans in Konoha were willing to donate their clan lands to establish a university, and that the Uchiha clan had been loyal to Konoha for generations, and that they were one of the original clans, just like the Senju clan, when the village was founded. He said, "Who else but me can do this?"

This university is ours, the Uchiha clan's! No one can stop us!

Yuya directly rejected the offer, stating that the university was too complex to be given to the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku Uchiha visited the Hokage's office again that afternoon.

You Ya rejected it again.

So, the story spread throughout the village over the next few days.

Many people are wondering, what exactly is this university?

Why is it that the Uchiha clan wants it, but the Hokage won't give it to them?

Some villagers immediately concluded: "Who cares? The Hokage must have his reasons for not giving it to us. The Uchiha clan leader must be heartless; there's no doubt about it."

These words were clearly spoken by members of the Senju clan scattered throughout the village.

But you know what? It actually got the rhythm going.

A week later, Fugaku Uchiha said that in exchange for half of the Uchiha clan's land, he had to obtain the construction rights for the university. In return, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the Uchiha clan to ask for an honorary principal title instead of a principal with real power, right?

After much deliberation, You Ya finally agreed.

So, the villagers of Konoha started discussing it again.

Anonymous bystander: Didn't you say that the Uchiha clan leader's heart was definitely black? Why did the Hokage still agree?

A former Senju clan member, now a villager who has changed his name: That must have been obtained by the Uchiha clan through a deal with the Hokage. Despicable! So despicable!

Unknown bystanders: Oh, I see.

Then they all cursed the Uchiha clan leader.

Unfortunately, the security personnel are not very efficient, and their work is extremely inefficient due to their small numbers.

The entire village of Konoha now has over four million people, but the security department only has a little over four hundred police officers...

Hey, just now one person was in charge of ten thousand people!

Nonsence!

Even an idiot would know that this ratio is outrageous; it would be a miracle if the security forces could be efficient!

Unlike the villagers' curses, the patriarchs of other families knew something was wrong when they saw this.

The Uchiha clan leader and Yua would never believe there wasn't some kind of private deal between them.

It took a whole week of back-and-forth negotiations to finally get it approved?

I'm afraid you two bastards will have already made up your minds in private the next day!

but……

He just gave his family's land to the Hokage like that...

The current head of the Uchiha clan is truly a man of great courage...

Ok……

But what exactly is this university?

It's supposed to be for teaching students. Does that mean the students at the ninja academy have to go through it all again?

The members of the various families were unaware of this.

There is actually a group of people who are very concerned about this matter.

……

"What do you think of this university, Sasori-kun?" Yahiko and Sasori met by chance during a meal.

Because Yahiko lives in the Land of Rain, his preferred food styles are mainly the desert style of Sunagakure, the dried food style of Iwagakure, and the ever-changing style of Konoha.

I ran into Sasori while having dinner at the Sunagakure restaurant in the shopping district, and the two of us, who were studying there, started chatting.

There is no doubt that Yahiko has the potential to be a social butterfly; he is sunny and cheerful, which is quite rare in the Land of Rain.

And these two actually have a friend...

"Sorry I'm late..." Nagato, with her red hair, ran over breathlessly and apologized to Yahiko and Sasori.

Yahiko waved to Nagato: "It's alright, it's alright. Sasori and I just arrived."

Sasori nodded, then handed the newspaper in his hand to Nagato.

Nagato took it and looked at it, then smiled at the two of them: "I don't know what this university is, but I know that someone definitely knows what it's all about."

Sasori and Yahiko exchanged a glance, both of them showing how much they valued the news.

……

Nagato led Yahiko and Sasori along the road, boasting about the various deeds he had heard about this senior's exploits in Konoha from the Uzumaki clan. The three of them chatted excitedly for a while.

Even the expressionless Sasori felt a surge of respect for Nagato after hearing that this senior member of the Uzumaki clan had dared to throw paint on the Hokage Rock of the Third Hokage when he was a child.

This kind of thing...

Even someone from Sunagakure like him only dared to dream about it...

This girl from Konoha Village actually dared to do it...

Great.

On top of the towering buildings in Konoha's inner city.

Looking down at the three little ones chatting and laughing together, Nagato, who was thin and had terrifying spiral patterns in his eyes, was dressed in a black outfit with auspicious cloud patterns and had a hint of longing in his eyes.

"If... my life... could be like this... how wonderful that would be."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato noticed something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Konan, who was also wearing a black Akatsuki outfit with auspicious cloud patterns, giving him a sidelong glance without any expression.

The frail Nagato's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed her words, saying, "What I meant was... you included too..."

Konan snorted coldly, turned around, and ran straight towards the Hokage's office in Konoha.

She and Nagato returned this time to report to Yua the information about their battle with Tobi from the Akatsuki organization in the Land of Iron.

Without a doubt...

That hoodlum...

They are also people from their world...

They absolutely will not allow people from their world to disrupt the peace of this world...

Absolutely not allowed!!!

……

Konoha Inner City:

Nagato led Yahiko and Sasori to a residential house near the western district of Konoha.

The residential buildings here are only 23 stories high. Although that's tall enough for the three little ones, in Konoha, a 23-story building is obviously nothing special.

"This is it! What floor is Kushina-neechan on? I think it's the 17th floor... Wait, that's Kushina-neechan over there!"

Nagato's eyes lit up, and she was about to run over to say hello when she saw a girl clinging to the arm of a blond-haired young man in his early twenties next to Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki seemed to be loudly questioning something.

After the blond-haired youth offered an explanation, the black-haired girl next to him spoke up.

This one sentence enraged Kushina Uzumaki, who slapped the blond-haired youth across the face.

To the astonishment of the three children, the blond-haired youth was sent flying.

Nagato froze for a moment, then turned to Yahiko and Sasori with a smile, saying, "Oh dear, I didn't see my older sister today. She's probably busy. Let's not bother her, hehe, hehe..."

Yahiko and Sasori turned around and nodded in unison:

"Oh yes, yes, we think so too..."
