Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 344 I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing.

The next day, Yuya was carried back by Tsunade like a chick, while she bowed deeply to Uchiha Kagami and apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry for making you laugh! I'm really sorry!"

Uchiha Kagami rubbed the back of his head, seemingly unconcerned about Yua's lapse in composure.

Actually, he was quite happy.

Tsunade and Yuki were invited to come and visit whenever they had the chance, and then Uchiha Kagami saw them off.

Uchiha Shisui looked at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, the Hokage seems even angrier this time than last time?"

He's still just a kid. Even though Uchiha Shisui's plan failed last time due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, it was still just an accident.

Yes, the reason why Uchiha Shisui suggested going to Southeast Kindergarten instead of Sarutobi Kindergarten last time was simply because he didn't want to go; he had no other intentions whatsoever.

However, by a twist of fate, the ending did not turn out to be the worst possible outcome.

"Hehehe, perhaps." Uchiha Kagami walked to the window and looked downstairs, where Tsunade was walking outside with Yua's arm around hers—in front of outsiders, Tsunade would give Yua full respect.

"However... sometimes getting angry isn't such a bad thing."

Uchiha Shisui was somewhat puzzled—he didn't understand.

Uchiha Kagami looked at Shisui and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "You don't even get angry when your parents dump you on me and let you run around. What do you know?!"

Uchiha Shisui scratched his head and looked at his grandfather in confusion: "But, Mom and Dad said they would come to pick me up."

Uchiha Kagami: "...Yes, of course they will come to pick you up..."

After saying that, Uchiha Kagami added in his mind: They'll come back when they've had their fun.

For the past few years, Uchiha Kagami's son has been applying to Yuya to be stationed in other villages.

Their purpose was not at all to go to other villages to serve Konoha.

But I just wanted to visit other villages.

You Ya was somewhat helpless, but in the end he agreed.

Uchiha Kagami, of course, understood what his son was thinking.

Going to other villages allows them to travel and earn a salary, and those villages would never have any bad intentions towards people like them who come from Konoha.

It's pointless, after all.

If Yua finds out that you've targeted Konoha's envoys stationed in other villages, he'll definitely deal with you.

Besides, targeting it doesn't bring any benefits.

Other villages wouldn't make that mistake.

only……

Because Konoha is now the most prosperous village in the ninja world, people from other villages are eager to come to Konoha as their resident representatives.

However, no one from Konoha would voluntarily go to other villages.

Well, usually not.

Who would willingly travel from a prosperous area to a backward one?

In reality, while the main reason Uchiha Kagami's son made this decision was to take his wife on a publicly funded honeymoon, there were also some political factors involved.

Uchiha Kagami was, after all, the former head of the Anbu, and the current head, Hatake Sakumo, had worked under him. Therefore, Uchiha Kagami undoubtedly still wields considerable influence even now that he has retired.

If Uchiha Kagami was like this, then his only son would naturally be targeted as well.

Uchiha Kagami was well aware of this, but he didn't have any good solutions.

He could only refuse various invitations from other people.

Then just pretend you don't know anyone else.

However, there was nothing that Fugaku Uchiha could do about this.

Regardless, he was still a member of the Uchiha clan and couldn't just watch Uchiha Kagami jump into the pit without doing anything.

Uchiha Kagami knew that if the Uchiha clan continued like this, their annual income would be cut by more than half after Yuya announced the opening of a new power plant in two years.

Water plants do have stable income, but they certainly don't earn as much as power plants.

Of course, even if Uchiha Kagami told Uchiha Fugaku this news, Uchiha Fugaku would still have to figure out the specific method himself.

All he could do was relay the information to Fugaku Uchiha.

……

And what about Fugaku Uchiha?

He had a headache.

He has already discussed this matter with the other elders at the family meeting.

This naturally caused a huge uproar.

Some old guys even slammed their fists on the table, saying that Yua had inherited Tobirama Senju's will and was targeting them, the Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha was furious when he heard this, and he slammed his fist on the table and started arguing with the other party.

To Fugaku Uchiha's surprise, he was not alone this time.

Several peers who had already made a name for themselves in the security force—that is, Uchiha clan members around thirty years old—were speaking up for him.

He was somewhat surprised; why were these guys on his side?

It's important to know that all the Uchiha clan members who remain in the clan's territory and haven't moved out are entitled to a share of the profits at the end of each year.

If the power plant is shut down, their interests will also be harmed.

In this situation, how could they be willing to stand on my side?

It must be said that this truly surprised and delighted Fugaku Uchiha.

In short, Fugaku Uchiha and the elders of the Uchiha clan argued fiercely, and the meeting naturally ended on a sour note.

However, this already satisfied Fugaku Uchiha somewhat.

In any case, his years as clan leader have shown some people that he is a clan leader who truly cares about the clan.

And these clan elders...

They shout so loudly, but if you really think about it, it's all because of the word "profit."

They act all high and mighty, but when they look back, it turns out they're the ones who took the most.

Over the years, the Uchiha clan has earned at least 50 billion taels of silver, if not 100 billion.

Who could have imagined this number when Konoha was founded?!

You're still not satisfied? You insist on having Youya support you and pay you money forever, right?!

Fugaku Uchiha was so angry his liver ached, but there was nothing he could do.

Yuya's plan to shut down the power plant does indeed threaten the Uchiha clan's interests.

But here's the problem.

Youya has given enough money over the years.

If the Uchiha clan resolutely resists the policy of allowing travel to Asia, then no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village will stand on their side.

Especially those Uchiha clansmen who had already gone to the inner city of Konoha.

I already told you to share some of your money with others when you received it before.

You damn well wouldn't listen!

What the hell are we going to do now that things have turned out like this?

Are they really going to sever ties with the Uchiha clan members who went to the inner city?!

Then all his efforts over the past few years have been in vain.

Do you really think that Obito went to work at the security headquarters during his vacation because he wanted to?

Okay, Obito really wanted to go, but he wanted to work at the Security Department, and nobody would approve it or dare to let him go.

Surely these people in the garrison wouldn't make an exception for a twelve-year-old child to get into the garrison, would they?!

The actual truth is:

Obito was able to join the police force because Fugaku Uchiha wanted to improve relations with the Uchiha clan members in Konoha's inner city.
