Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 423 Konoha Year 59 and Construction Begins

Xiao Nan thought this way and did this way, which led to the current situation.

Yua's second option was to gradually weaken the ninja clans of Konoha by dividing the money at the end of the year. I won't go into too much detail about that, and Yua has been doing that ever since.

In short, even if the Akatsuki were to be established in this world, it certainly wouldn't consist of these three people.

Having discussed the three people from this world, let's talk about the people from another world.

Yes, it's not just Nagato and Konan who came from another world; there's another one.

Orochimaru.

Well, this thing is currently... being used by the beastly Yuya in Konoha Village.

It can only be said that Orochimaru often gets himself into trouble in a particularly intense way.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru from the other world was furious and said to Yua: "Aren't you angry about this? You can tolerate this? I can't tolerate it! Just pretend I'm leaving, I'll deal with him!"

Then Youya said: Don't worry about these things. If you upgrade your internet speed to 4G, you can leave. Until then...

Ha ha.

The Orochimaru in the other world could only curse the Orochimaru of this world over and over again in his heart.

The improvement in internet speed is essentially the result of repeated updates and iterations.

Strictly speaking, it's not that difficult, but it does take a lot of time.

Orochimaru in the other world was in a bad mood; he should have known better than to covet the experimental equipment here.

I've been here for so long, and I haven't used the experimental equipment even for a single day...

Typing pinyin in another world is bittersweet, and Youya is also unhappy.

Why is the progress so slow?

The news that Yua, the Hokage of Konoha, said he would not get involved in the affairs of the Land of Whirlpools quickly spread throughout Konoha.

Although many villagers in Konoha found this very strange, they didn't have any questions because they trusted Yua.

Youya is far superior to them, why bother with these things?

Instead of worrying about these things, let's think about what to eat tonight.

After all, deciding what to eat every day is a dilemma for many people these days.

They used to have no choice, but now they have too many choices, which is also a burden.

Konoha Village did indeed fall into silence, just as Yua had predicted.

This was hard for many other villages to believe.

Of course, the Third Raikage also told the ninja villages of Wind, Earth, and Water. Although these three large villages didn't know what Yua was up to, to be fair, there was clearly something to gain.

Look at why Kumogakure wanted to take over the Land of Iron, Sunagakure wanted to take over the Land of Hot Springs, and Iwagakure wanted to take over the Land of Waterfalls!

Damn, they do nothing but collect tolls like crazy just because of their good location. Who wouldn't be envious?

but now……

Well, the issue has come full circle.

A small village charging tolls? No way! I'll kill you!

We want to build a railway and charge tolls? Sure! Not only sure, we'll charge huge tolls!

The difference between large and small countries lies here.

When a major power acts like a rogue state, it's not called acting like a rogue state; it's called normal trade and commerce.

Although Konoha Village is not participating this time, the Land of Whirlpools is still a huge prize.

There couldn't possibly be some kind of conspiracy involved this time, could there?

Although the other villagers had already told him that following Youya would mean soup and even meat occasionally, this cake was still quite tempting.

Just talking about railway construction alone costs at least 30 to 50 billion taels of silver.

Collecting tolls annually will definitely yield over a billion taels of silver.

Although this amount of money is not as outrageous or insane as it was thirty years ago for the five great ninja villages, it is still a considerable sum.

after all……

This time, they're building a railway that will encircle the entire Land of Whirlpools!

It seems like there are many benefits to it!

Therefore, in October of Konoha year 58, representatives from each village went to the Land of Whirlpools.

Nagato, full of high spirits, said that everyone should take a two-week break, the formal bidding would be held in November, the results would be announced in December, and the project would be completed within the next year.

Well, if everything goes smoothly, it's definitely possible to complete the railway construction in Konoha by the end of 59.

But there's one prerequisite: everything goes smoothly.

Ultimately, Nagato Uzumaki learned most of his knowledge from books.

There's a saying that goes something like this: "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand."

Nagato Uzumaki is not without a desire to be rooted in the front lines.

However, unlike Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito, who both started from the bottom, Uzumaki Nagato understood that if he wanted to change the Land of Whirlpools and make it stronger, his status had to rise.

it is necessary.

As for Uchiha Shisui, he wanted to go into politics and didn't want to participate in the Anbu. He had said before that he wanted to start over. Every cloud has a silver lining, and Uchiha Kagami can be said to have one less thing to worry about.

After all, if Uchiha Shisui continues to be the leader of the Anbu, no one knows what the next Hokage will think.

After all, Yua can trust him, but Yua is fifty years old, while Shisui is not even twenty. When Yua dies, will the next Hokage trust Shisui as much as Yua trusted Uchiha Kagami?

Therefore, the opportunity to work at the grassroots level, which Uchiha Shisui obtained by sacrificing everything of value for his family, was actually his biggest trump card, ensuring that he would not be purged, all by a twist of fate.

Therefore, after understanding the situation, Uchiha Shisui's parents did not mind that Shisui worked at the grassroots level.

Moreover, this lesson taught Shisui a lot, making him realize that many things cannot be judged solely by appearances.

As for Uchiha Obito...

This one is an exception.

In this world, Obito's parents loved him very much, and his upbringing was fine. However, their frequent help to the elderly caused Obito to be late for important meetings and other events, resulting in him being over twenty years old and still a low-ranking police officer in the Uchiha Police Department.

However, Obito himself didn't care about these things.

Therefore, Obito does not count.

However, their time spent working at the grassroots level helped them understand what the people there care about most.

Why is Yu Ya so beloved?

In Konoha's inner city, each person owns two properties worth tens of millions of yen. They can live comfortably for the rest of their lives simply by renting them out, without any debt. Even if there is a bride price for marriage, it is clearly stipulated that there must be an equivalent dowry, using the law to protect the common interests of both men and women. At the same time, the prices in the village are always very low. Yua has the Akimichi clan harvest grain every year, even when the granaries are full. This gives the farmers of the Land of Fire a stable income, and even if there is a year of natural disasters and poor harvests, Konoha will provide a safety net.

In this situation, how can you expect the villagers of Konoha not to respect Yua?

But these...

Nagato Uzumaki has never been to the grassroots level, so he might be able to understand, but he could never truly comprehend it.

In January of Konoha year 59, the construction team from Kumogakure, who had won the bid, arrived in the Land of Whirlpools to begin construction.

The Third Raikage was indeed somewhat surprised that Yua simply said he wouldn't care.

The result was that they actually started construction right on time in January of Konoha year 59!

That's really strange, but oh well, it's good to make money.

Then, on the very day construction began, the residents of the Land of Whirlpools, where the construction site was located, came and stopped the construction crew, saying:

We'll cooperate with you building the railway, but you're moving our land, so how about giving us some compensation?

Upon hearing this, Nagato slammed his fist on the table in anger.
