Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 345 Jiraiya: I'm rich!

However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was harsh.

The resistance of these old folks is very likely...

Well, it will definitely make Konoha Village hate their Uchiha clan.

This would also make the Uchiha clan members in Konoha's inner city hate them.

Why does Yu Ya want to build a new power plant?

Because Konoha Village's electricity consumption is increasing.

In the past, a family might have at most one light bulb, a black and white television, an old-fashioned refrigerator, and maybe a washing machine.

Gone.

What now?

Cell phones, computers, air conditioners, high-end televisions, and all sorts of other electrical appliances.

Not to mention the amusement park inside the Hyuga clan's territory, which has kept up with the times and developed many new projects and games, making it a huge electricity consumer.

Their power plant uses hydroelectric power.

It's a new energy source, but its power generation capacity is becoming increasingly insufficient.

Anyway, it's definitely not as much as burning ore.

Occasionally, Konoha Village will experience a village-wide power outage to ensure sufficient electricity supply.

Although it happens mostly in the early morning, people still need electricity in the early morning too.

As Fugaku Uchiha thought about this, he became increasingly angry, and he felt his liver hurting more and more.

If Yuya were to announce the plans for the newly built power plant once it's completed, given his personality, the electricity bill might even be reduced! The villagers of Konoha would be overjoyed if they knew.

If they knew that the potentially beneficial policy of reducing electricity costs had been halted due to the obstruction of the Uchiha clan, the villagers' anger would frighten Fugaku to even think about it.

"well……"

He really couldn't stand being the lousy clan leader any longer.

"Father……"

The little Itachi stumbled open the door, then lightly held up the drawing to Fugaku Uchiha: "Today, I drew... drew a picture..."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned and turned to look at Itachi Uchiha.

Then, when he saw the drawing that Itachi Uchiha was showing him, which depicted a family of three, even though the drawing was extremely childish, he relaxed his furrowed brows.

With a sigh, Fugaku Uchiha walked over and picked up Itachi Uchiha.

"Itachi... I hope that in the future, you can become the link between the clan's territory and the inner castle..."

With that, Fugaku Uchiha smiled and asked Itachi, "Little Itachi, is this drawing of your father, mother, and you?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his big eyes and shook his head: "No, this is my great-grandfather, this is my grandmother, and this is me."

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

With his smile fading, Fugaku Uchiha put Itachi down and began to unbuckle his belt.

Uchiha Itachi was immediately terrified and ran outside wailing.

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth and hissed as he watched Itachi's retreating figure, "Bastard! How dare he lay a hand on my son?!"

……

Konoha Hospital:

"Sister-in-law... there's no need to go to such trouble..." Himiko lay on the hospital bed, blushing as she looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade comforted Himiko, "It's alright. Now that we've figured these things out, we should naturally use them~"

As she spoke, Tsunade explained to Himiko, "Anyway, not many people use this ultrasound machine these days, so why not let you use it? Jiraiya has to pay for it anyway."

Himiko's expression of gratitude froze instantly—Wow, you're actually asking for money? I'm so touched and you just tell me I need to pay...

Check the outside:

Jiraiya paced back and forth nervously.

Yuya had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and was about to light it when Jiraiya walked over and said, "Big brother, smoking is bad for pregnant women."

Yuya glanced sideways at Jiraiya. "Damn it," he thought, "your wife's inside, and I can't even have a smoke outside?!"

but……

I remember how nervous I was when Tsunade was pregnant...

Okay, I understand.

You Ya put the cigarette back into the pack and sighed.

Jiraiya looked at Yua nervously: "Big brother, why are you sighing? Is something wrong?"

You Ya rolled her eyes: "It wasn't an accident, I just thought of my child."

You Ya sighed. "Damn it, my father was a man of great reputation, but he gave birth to a travelogue. This bastard failed to be selected again this year."

The questions on this year's civil service exam weren't difficult at all!

This year, Youji turns 18. Starting this year, Youji will only have one more chance to take the college entrance examination.

Of course, Yuya was referring to the college entrance exam, but in Konoha Village, everyone called it the civil service exam.

Because now, the secure jobs in Konoha Village are gradually being given way to college graduates.

Of course, those who were previously hired will not be dismissed, but they will not be given a permanent position.

The differences between having a formal employment contract and not having one will not be elaborated on here.

In short, nowadays, if someone in a family can pass the college entrance examination before the age of 18, it's a joyous occasion that makes the whole family happy enough to throw a party.

pity……

My lifelong reputation has been ruined by that brat, the travelogue writer.

Well, that brat from the travelogue club has recently gone off to stay in the military camp.

He was probably afraid that Youya would beat him up.

Upon hearing Yua's words, Jiraiya blurted out without thinking, "Big brother, even though Yua isn't much of a kid, he's still your son."

Yuya glanced sideways at Jiraiya, noticing the latter glancing towards the ward, and rolled her eyes: "Go in if you want."

Jiraiya rubbed his hands together like a fly, then asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't this be... inappropriate?"

You Ya curled his lip, pushed his way in, and went inside.

He just wanted to come out for a smoke.

Now that Jiraiya won't let me smoke, what else can I do if I don't come in?

Are you really going to wait outside like an idiot?

Jiraiya saw Yua go inside and quickly followed.

Then Jiraiya saw a female doctor holding a probe, pressing on Himiko's exposed belly from time to time, and looking at different places every now and then.

Jiraiya looked at Himiko's bulging belly with tenderness.

Just then, the female doctor exclaimed in surprise, "This...this child actually has four arms and four legs?!"

Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed!

Tsunade slapped the female doctor on the back of the head: "Those are twins! What do you mean four arms and four legs?!"

The female doctor gave a wronged "Oh" and continued her examination.

Jiraiya's expression gradually changed from fear to ecstasy.

After the examination, Himiko was in good condition. Her due date was about three and a half months from now. It was definitely impossible for Himiko and Jiraiya to stay together during this period.

Jiraiya continued rubbing his hands together, as if to express his understanding.

Then he asked Tsunade, "Can Himiko stay here indefinitely? And if anything happens, have the doctor come immediately!"

Tsunade blinked, looking at Jiraiya with a hint of exasperation: "Appropriate exercise is also very important for pregnant women. What kind of nonsense is it to keep her locked up here all day?"

Jiraiya immediately replied, "I can let her exercise in the hospital."

Tsunade, hands on her hips, said, "What about the cost? Why waste money like that?"

Jiraiya proudly patted his chest: "I! Am rich!"

You Ya clicked his tongue and nodded.

That's true.

Jiraiya, that bastard, certainly made a lot of money from those inappropriate books for children.

Yes, a lot of money.
