Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 428 No one will accept this

Same night:

Hiashi Hyuga and his brother Hizashi Hyuga were also discussing the plan for the Hyuga branch family to integrate into Konoha.

For so many years, the Hyuga branch family has been treated like dogs by the Hyuga main family. Now, taking advantage of Yua's desire to step down as Hokage, Hyuga Hiashi wants to completely resolve the issue of disbanding the branch family.

This way, the Hyuga clan will no longer have that ridiculous Caged Bird system.

Although this will obviously be met with opposition.

However, compared to Yua's resignation as Hokage, the matter of the Hyuga branch family is indeed too insignificant.

After all, no one knows who the next Hokage will be or what kind of profit distribution method will be adopted, which makes the Hyuga clan members particularly distressed.

"Brother, if the matter of dividing the family can be completely resolved, Neji's children and your grand-nephews won't have to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal anymore!"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded repeatedly as he listened.

The so-called "grandparental affection" is particularly evident in Hyuga Hiashi.

His high standards and strict requirements for his own daughter Hinata are the complete opposite of his goofy attitude towards Hinata's son and daughter.

Hiashi Hyuga wanted to change the branch family system precisely for this reason:

To allow one's descendants... to be free from the constraints of a caged bird, and to roam the skies freely.

As for the old men of the Hyuga clan barking like dogs about the role of the Byakugan on the battlefield...

The longest-lasting drones now can reach 200 kilometers and can also transmit real-time footage.

Can you even see 20 kilometers with your eyes rolled back like that?

What a load of rubbish about battlefield effectiveness!

It's just an excuse to control the division of the family property!

Hiashi Hyuga now felt a surge of ambition and pride, believing himself to be the one who would save the Hyuga clan!

Hyuga Hizashi was naturally extremely excited.

It's not that the Hyuga clan can rest easy just because there haven't been any unlucky Kumogakure villages that come to Konoha to spy on the Hyuga, or because their ninjas have been killed and then come looking for trouble with the Hyuga.

As someone once said: Every era has its own mission and its own crisis; opportunities and crises always coexist.

Similarly, in this world, it's not that Yua can avoid trouble just by changing the original plot; in fact, the troubles will only increase.

For example, the age-old question: when exactly will Konoha Village reach a population of ten million?

Leaving aside the population issue for now, the economic problem is a huge headache.

Yuya is operating on a gold standard system. In other words, Konoha Village currently has tens of thousands of tons of gold reserves underground, which Yuya can access at any time. Moreover, with these tens of thousands of tons as a safety net, Konoha's monetary system can continue to operate without collapsing.

The key point is that the economy is not only reflected in currency.

It could even be said that the economy is often linked to people's livelihoods and politics.

There are indeed more and more wealthy people in Konoha now, but this has also created a problem:

The channels for upward mobility for people at the bottom of society are becoming increasingly narrow.

People from other villages would go to great lengths to come to Konoha, only to find that after a lifetime of hard work to buy a house and obtain Konoha residency, they can only enjoy it for a few years.

Unless you take on a 30-year loan early on.

However, having a loan does not allow you to obtain a Konoha resident ID card.

And so, the cycle began.

No matter how hard people from outside the village try, they can't get into the inner city, while Youya gives out one hundred spots to the inner city every year.

This policy was first piloted in Konoha more than twenty years ago, and the number remains the same to this day.

It's not that Youya doesn't want to add more.

The problem remains the same: if too many slots are added, they become worthless, and people from the outer city will no longer fight tooth and nail to rush into the inner city.

Yuya isn't that stupid to do something so self-destructive.

And this is merely a matter of the population structure of the outer city.

There's also the inner city.

Gradually, the structure of the inner city has also begun to solidify.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After a day of classes, wealthy people often take additional courses, such as piano or art, or even ninjutsu or martial arts to improve themselves.

What about ordinary people's homes?

My parents were ninjas, so they didn't have time to teach me!

Unless your grandparents were also ninjas.

And over time, that's how the gap widens.

They have more resources and connections than you, what can you do about it?

As for Yuya, although he had been supporting the Senju clan to disband and disband some of the outstanding representatives who had infiltrated the village, in the end, he was still somewhat inferior to these ninja clans.

Well, here comes the question again: So, can you just disband all these ninja clans?

This is another problem.

Then there's the recent issue of succession.

Therefore, when You Ya said she was tired, she really was.

The entire village of Konoha rests on his shoulders; the burden is truly heavy.

Well, so it's okay to enjoy yourself and relax occasionally.

Tsunade held a feather duster in her hand, her eyes filled with a fierce light as she coldly stared at the two men kneeling in front of her, occasionally tapping her palm with the feather duster.

"Go on, keep going, let me see what other excuses you have."

And you, Jiraiya, your older brother has given so many reasons. He works so hard, it's understandable that you take him to a place of pleasure to relax. So what's your reason?

Jiraiya swallowed hard, cautiously glancing up at Tsunade. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I... I've come to report to my elder brother on what I've seen and heard in the Land of Whirlpools..."

"Does your older brother need you to report to him?! He's the Hokage, doesn't he know more and more details than you?! You've thought of this for so long and this is the only reason you can come up with?! I'll kill you!"

Jiraiya sensed something was wrong and turned to run. Tsunade immediately gave chase, and in the end, Jiraiya was punched into the rock wall near the Hokage Rock by Tsunade...

One day later:

Yuya covered his cheek as he entered the Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaya raised an eyebrow as he looked at Yua's still swollen cheek: "Dean Tsunade... she really doesn't hold back..."

You Ya sighed, "That's right, they kept pinching it even though it was already swollen."

Then Youya couldn't help but complain, "I never say anything when she secretly goes to the gambling den..."

Nara Shika was also speechless. Who didn't know that this was Tsunade's only hobby?

Besides, Lady Tsunade didn't lose that much—mainly because the gambling den owner didn't dare to win too much. As the saying goes, who doesn't have a sick person in their family? All the doctors in Konoha are Tsunade's students; what if they need to ask her for help someday?

Therefore, when it comes to Tsunade, it's often the beautiful dealers who try every possible way to help her win money.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Has the matter in the Land of Whirlpools been resolved?"

Nara Shikaya sneered upon hearing this: "Solve it? How is that possible? The commoners who want money are willing to accept 250,000 taels of silver per person as compensation, but how could the Uzumaki clan possibly agree to that?"

This is turning forty billion taels into one billion taels; no one would accept that.
