Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 286 A New Year, A New Beginning

In the spring of Konoha 47, the village was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. People chatted and laughed as they strolled along the road, browsing the shops on both sides.

Yuya stood in the Hokage's office, watching this lively scene, and nodded inwardly.

Finally, it's starting to feel like the Chinese New Year atmosphere from my past life.

It would be such a shame if we didn't have some fun during the Chinese New Year.

After all, this is the only time of year.

"Knock knock"

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Nara Shikaku, carrying a stack of documents, walked in.

It glanced nervously at the report in its hand and said to Yuya, "Lord Hokage, the total tax revenue and calculated amount for last year are here."

Do I need to report to you?

You Ya shook his head: "There's no need for that. Since you've already calculated it, just proceed with the calculation based on that number."

As he spoke, Yuya smiled at Nara Shikaku: "Don't be nervous. Since your father said he would let you take his place for a few days, you will definitely be able to do well in this position."

He trusts you, and I trust him; his judgment won't disappoint.

Nara Shikaku's tension eased slightly, and he looked at Yua with a serious expression: "What should I do next?"

Yuya pointed to a desk against the wall in the Hokage's office and said to Nara Shikaku, "That's your father's seat. The desk has the official documents he needs to handle every day. Of course, most of the documents he gets aren't urgent. If he can't finish them in one day, your father can either take them back to continue working on them or leave them for the next day. As for you... finishing them in one day is indeed a bit of a stretch."

Nara Shikaku was somewhat unhappy.

He certainly respected Youya.

But it was precisely because of his respect for Youya that he found it difficult to accept what Youya said.

It can be very damaging when someone you admire says they can't do something.

At least Nara Shikaku is now prepared to do a good job. After finishing these tasks in a day, he will ask Yua how things are going.

However, Nara Shikaku's expectations were very high, but reality made him feel somewhat devastated.

As mentioned a long time ago, Yua handles affairs differently from others, such as Nara Shika.

Even though Nara Shikaya is considered a genius, he still needs to find information to handle government affairs. After finding the information, he needs to verify it and make a decision only after confirming that everything is correct.

That's exactly the situation Nara Shikaku is facing now.

The report submitted by the district head of East Street's 47th district indicated that they needed to build a new factory.

This kind of thing isn't a big deal, so it basically never reaches Yuya's desk.

But if you really want to say this won't work... well, that's not necessarily true. A district has about 100 to 300 households. These are households, not people. If you count people, there are at least a thousand people.

This matter concerns the employment of over a thousand people and environmental issues, so it's actually quite significant.

Previously, it was Nara Shikaya who handled these matters; now it's his son, Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku strongly suspected that his father had slipped away because handling these official duties was too exhausting, and he was eager to leave...

If we're really going to talk about it, couldn't we have left Nara Shika's matter to someone else?!

Of course, this is where Nara Shikaku misunderstood.

Nara Shika also went to the spatial rift in ancient Loulan, and crossed the spatial rift to another world to take care of Yua's cleanup.

At the same time, he was also going to urge Konoha Village in the other world to pay for the goods.

Although Konoha Village in the other world is in dire need of reconstruction, Yuya will not refuse the money that is due.

Although I know you are in trouble, I am not an unreasonable person.

You can always exchange resources for it.

Whether it's mineral resources or population.

I'll accept anyone!

Yuya's idea was quite good, but Tsunade, the Hokage, wasn't stupid either.

They will definitely give what they deserve. Yuya has seen that he brought people and weapons from his world to support Tsunade, the Naruto from another world.

There is no doubt that the fighting power of the two worlds is not equal.

Or to put it bluntly, if the two worlds were to go to war, the world of Naruto and Tsunade would definitely lose to this world.

Even if we consider the timeline, their side has developed for 20 years longer than this side.

The truth was very painful for Hokage Tsunade, but she had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, when Yua returned, she brought back the main force and those chakra cannons.

To be honest, I feel a little sorry for Tsunade, the Hokage.

If only these cannons could stay with her.

Unfortunately, her Konoha village was poor.

Even the reconstruction relied on the technical expertise and arrangements provided by the people from Youya.

Although Yua sent Nara Shikaya there to collect payment, Nara Shikaya took the opportunity to gather intelligence without Yua having to say anything.

Nara Shika didn't need Yua to specifically remind him about this.

Just like now, Nara Shikaku was running around in a hurry, checking information on the bookshelf while running back to his seat to handle official business. After doing this several times, Nara Shikaku simply moved the reference books to his seat.

You Ya leisurely took a sip of hot tea.

Nara Shika and his son are such a worry-free bunch.

No, I can't let Nara Shikaku go back. I have to find a way to keep him here to do my work.

Once you get used to this kind of "tool," there's only one problem: you don't want to replace them.

However, Nara Shikaku is ultimately a member of the Nara clan and has been confirmed as the next clan head. In fact, because Nara Shikaku is also the Hokage's secretary, he is currently handling most of the Nara clan's affairs.

That's really uncomfortable.

Without a legitimate reason, there's no way to get Nara Shikaku to leave his family behind and work for him...

However, Yua doesn't necessarily need to make Nara Shikaku his slave right now.

After all, a major battle had just ended, and he wasn't an unreasonable person.

Ok……

This year, just have Shikaku come over.

In the other world, Nara Shika, who was negotiating prices with Konoha advisor Koharu Utatane and Mitokado En in a high-pitched voice, also felt a little itchy in his nose.

After wiping it clean, I continued to haggle with the other party.

Completely unaware that her son had been targeted by You Ya and given a lowly position, she was completely oblivious to the fact that You Ya had already arranged for him to be treated like a slave.

Madara Uchiha was sealed away, Obito Uchiha was captured, and Edo Tensei Madara returned to the Underworld. It seems that everything in the other world has come to an end, and now it's time for everyone to rest and recuperate.

But what is the reality?

It's true that Konoha Village in this other world is in dire need of rebuilding.

But to be honest, it's all over...

That's not that bad...
