Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 36 Then Let Me Do It

The next day, Tobirama Senju brought Yua to the Uchiha clan's territory.

Compared to the past when Tobirama Senju would see an Uchiha ninja every few steps he took when he visited the Uchiha clan's territory, the Uchiha clan's territory is now much quieter.

Even so, Tobirama Senju still noticed several pairs of eyes lurking in the shadows.

Tobirama sneered inwardly.

Isn't this leaving a legacy of power within their own territory?

Hmph, as expected, the Uchiha clan is not trustworthy.

The Uchiha clan leader came out to greet Tobirama Senju.

He was the Uchiha clan leader who succeeded Madara. Initially, he wanted to follow in Konoha's footsteps, but after Tobirama took over, he took back a lot of their power, and he received a lot of criticism and did not have much respect for Tobirama.

After all, he had once staked everything on Konoha, but unfortunately, Tobirama, the Hokage, still didn't trust the Uchiha.

"What brings the Hokage to the Uchiha clan's territory today?" The clan head asked calmly.

Tobirama didn't seem to care and calmly took out a scroll: "This is a secret mission I gave to the Uchiha. The operation must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. We cannot let a single target escape."

After Tobirama finished speaking, Yua, who was standing beside him, said softly, "Also, don't kill anyone. Once you kill someone, there will be no turning back."

The clan leader frowned. What did this boy mean? Did the Uchiha clan need you to teach them how to do things?

Yes, thirteen-year-old You Ya is already over 1.5 meters tall, almost 1.6 meters. He is no longer a child but a teenager.

Tobirama, however, didn't seem to care and simply chimed in, "Then let's not kill anyone. The Uchiha clan should be able to do that, right?"

The clan leader was instantly enraged. What did this mean? Did they look down on the Uchiha clan?

"Of course... I guarantee the mission will be completed," the clan chief said in a deep voice.

Tobirama nodded, then looked at Yua: "He is one of my assistants in handling political affairs. He has some plans that he wants to discuss with the Uchiha clan."

The Uchiha clan head looked at Yua, but frowned: "This one..."

"You Ya." You Ya grinned. "My name is You Ya."

The Uchiha clan chief nodded: "Alright, young Yuya, what would you like to discuss with us?"

If Tobirama hadn't been there, the clan leader would have gotten up and left long ago.

Yuya then took out a stack of papers from his pocket, pulled out one from the top, thought for a moment and pulled out a second one, then put the rest into his pocket and handed the two papers to the Uchiha clan leader.

The Uchiha clan leader took the paper, glanced at it, and his expression changed.

The clan chief frowned, put down the first sheet of paper, and looked at the next one. After reading the second sheet, his frown deepened.

He handed two pieces of paper to You Ya.

You Ya looked at the clan chief with some confusion: "Uncle, is there something you don't understand? It should be written very clearly here."

On one of the two sheets of paper, Youya wrote about the construction and use of the waterwheel.

There's also a plan to build a water plant on Uchiha clan land.

The Naka River, which flows east of the Uchiha clan, is a river that crosses the Land of Fire and eventually flows into the sea in the east.

Its water flow is very stable and also very large.

There are absolutely the basic conditions for establishing a water plant.

Yuya didn't know what the clan leader was thinking. In Yuya's opinion, the Uchiha clan could make a lot of money from this water plant.

Building a large waterwheel upstream to irrigate farmland would be an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts and minds.

These two plans were tailor-made for the Uchiha clan by Yuya.

In Yuya's opinion, the Uchiha clan should have knelt down and begged for mercy when they saw these two projects.

But now the other person is actually frowning even more.

"...This...please allow our clan to discuss this further before giving the Hokage a reply."

"Of course, we will complete the mission you assigned us, Hokage-sama, as soon as possible."

Ultimately, Youya received this answer.

Yua looked puzzled. As he and Tobirama Senju left the Uchiha clan compound, Tobirama smiled at Yua, who was deep in thought, and said, "Aren't you puzzled as to why the Uchiha clan didn't readily agree to such good terms?"

You Ya frowned and nodded: "Yes, this can not only bring them millions of taels of silver in revenue every year, but although the farmers who cultivate the land will benefit from the waterwheel irrigation scheme, they will also gain a good reputation..."

Why can't they just agree without hesitation?

Tobirama Senju sneered, "Because that's the Uchiha clan for you! They simply don't believe anyone would have goodwill towards them!"

Yuya looked up at Tobirama Senju, and then his eyes gradually turned into dead fish eyes.

Tobirama Senju frowned: "What are you looking at?"

"Uncle-Master, I think I know why the Uchiha don't trust me."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because you're too scary, Uncle-Master, they don't believe me when they see you."

"You brat! Stop right there! Stop right there!"

……

Konoha made a big move that day.

The security department dispatched three squads and arrested all the gambling den owners in the commercial district.

Of course, conflict is inevitable during this period.

However, the Uchiha clan still has some fighting ability; at least they should be able to handle these opponents without any problem.

After the battle, although some people lost arms and legs, no one actually died.

Then Tobirama Senju stepped forward.

He stood on the moral high ground, brought out the laws of Konoha, and questioned the gambling den owners about why they didn't abide by the law.

The casino owner began to argue that there were no loans involved, and that they were just playing for resale fees.

That copper coin was worth 100,000 taels, and those people lent it to me voluntarily.

Then Tobirama Senju publicly read out a legal document in the shopping district, leaving the gambling den owners utterly devastated.

Then Tobirama Senju waved his hand and expelled him from the country.

As for the hundreds of millions of dollars in cash held by those eight gambling dens, it was confiscated.

And it's not like those who borrowed money don't have to pay it back.

Let me introduce you to this gambling den, which is run by Konoha itself. No, it's not called a gambling den, it's called the Golden City!

The gambling inside isn't called gambling, it's called betting. There's no cash inside, only chips.

After you're done playing, exchange the corresponding chips for cash.

Anyway, the stench of money is absolutely absent in my golden city.

Furthermore, lending is absolutely prohibited in our Gold Capital, and minors are not allowed to enter.

Please be aware of this.

As for those who owed money to the gambling dens...

Don't think you can run away! Now you owe us!

Give me my money back! Whether you're working in a steel mill or doing whatever else, just give me my money back!

If you don't pay back the money, I'll break your legs.

Well, take down the gambling dens to make a fortune, then turn around and establish a fair, just, and transparent "Golden Capital" backed by the government.

You want to run a gambling den? No way! We'll do it!

What do you mean by double standards? (Tactical lean back.jpg)

Meanwhile, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village pondered for a moment as they watched this scene unfold…

seem……

This has potential...

So, not long after, these two villages, copying Konoha's strategy, also launched a crackdown on gambling dens.

And you know what? They actually made quite a bit of money.

Then they also opened an official gambling den, but no matter how big it was, it could never compare to Konoha.

After all, Konoha can attract people from other countries to spend money there, but Sunagakure and Kirigakure cannot.

The Uchiha clan was completely indifferent to the changes happening in the outside world.

They are holding their eighth family meeting.

Yes, they've been discussing whether to accept Youya's proposal for eight days, but they still haven't decided whether to accept it or not...

I've compiled a timeline and pasted it in the preface of the work. You can take a look if you're interested. I wrote it according to the timeline of those materials.
