Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 448 The Correct Use of the Third Generation

The process was something that Youya had deeply hated in his previous life, but now he felt it was indeed very important.

Many things require rules and regulations, and if you follow those rules and regulations, there will inevitably be a process.

Yuya is now the Hokage, so any decisions that his subordinates cannot make will naturally be left to him to decide.

But as I said before, Yuya can make the decision now, but what happens after he dies?

Don't spout nonsense like Yuya can't possibly die. So what if someone is a transmigrator? Transmigrators still experience birth, aging, sickness, and death!

As for the idea that one can be resurrected after death to continue working...

Damn it, after this is all over, Yuya will definitely have to learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

For no other reason than that, if someone were to be resurrected by Edo Tensei in the future, he could immediately break free of the Edo Tensei. Otherwise, if the caster gives him an order to keep working, he would have to continue working even after he dies, which would be too tragic!

That would truly mean a life of unrest, even in death.

Yuya's decision to assign other people to various departments was also a preparation for his own death.

He is in his fifties now, and theoretically, he still has at least ten years of working life ahead of him.

Just like in the previous world, many politicians officially stepped onto the stage in their fifties. In the Great Beauty world, it's perfectly normal to enter politics in your fifties, then enter parliament in your sixties, and become president in your seventies.

Yuya didn't want Konoha to become like that, but just look at Uchiha Shisui. If you start from the bottom, even if you have outstanding abilities, you won't be able to enter the core decision-making level until you are at least forty years old.

If he becomes exceptionally capable and his subordinates gain his trust, it's not impossible for him to become Hokage at the age of fifty.

However, that would mean the term of office wouldn't be very long, at most a decade or so.

Unless another Hiruzen Sarutobi appears.

I'm referring to the original manga character, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was incredibly cowardly and always hesitated before doing anything, which is why he survived.

Well, okay, thinking like that isn't a good idea. After all, the Hiruzen Sarutobi in this world genuinely didn't want to go into politics; he was forced into it by Yua.

However, this also proves, from another perspective, Yuya's determination to change the system.

The fact that Orochimaru came to Yua for money shows that many things in Konoha Village now have a set of rules and regulations.

In other words, the procedures for each matter have already been determined.

Orochimaru wants money? Then just apply for it. If your application is approved, you'll get the money.

As for what to do if it doesn't pass...

Then just reapply, what else can you do?

Orochimaru wasn't unaware of the procedure, it's just...

Which of his experiments didn't repeatedly teeter on the edge of human morality?

If he had dared to honestly write an application form and describe the experimental details, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to not only get funding, but he could have directly asked Minato Namikaze for several teams of ANBU, or even stormed Orochimaru's lab.

Orochimaru and Yua were fully aware of this.

But if things don't escalate...

So what should Orochimaru do with his money?

Therefore, Orochimaru could only stubbornly insist that Namiashi Raido was targeting him.

Meanwhile, Namiji Raikō produced Orochimaru's application form and compared it line by line, leaving Orochimaru speechless.

For example, you're charging me 100,000 for a chair in some lab? What the hell is this chair, 100,000 taels?!

There are also experimental projects, such as cloning research. Don't think I don't know. Orochimaru's cloning research has already succeeded. Who in the entire Jonin circle doesn't know how you got those twin maids behind you?!

You're using a project that's already successful to scam more money? Do you think I'm blind?!

Finally, Raito Namizu concluded for Orochimaru: "Based on your application form, it's absolutely impossible to get 3.8 billion yen in funding like last year! At most, 1 billion!"

"Hmm...it will have to be paid in installments. The bank doesn't have much capital on hand right now, only a little over 50 billion taels. Giving you 1 billion taels at once is absolutely out of the question! That's already one-fiftieth of that!"

Orochimaru was furious. "Damn it! You cut me down to a quarter of the way?! How dare you bully me like this?!"

Tobirama Senju was also furious. What did I just hear?! That damn Orochimaru, you're asking for 4 billion kyats all by yourself?!

Tobirama Senju stared at Yua with wide eyes: "You're so good to him?! You gave him four billion?!"

You Ya: "It's 3.8 billion, Uncle-Master, we need to be more precise."

"I, I..."

Tobirama Senju clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain.

During his reign, the entire village's assets amounted to only a few hundred billion taels of silver. How come a single bank now has so much?!

You son of a bitch, did you really not wholeheartedly assist me when I came to power?!

Orochimaru and Namiashi Raido eventually ended up fighting.

Many people say that researchers are highly skilled, highly educated, and highly qualified individuals, and that they would never do anything like fighting.

If you ask Yu Ya, that's utter nonsense.

In his past life, when he was in college, he studied physics. In order to earn two extra credits, he worked odd jobs in a professor's physics lab, helping to wipe tables, wash test tubes, and bring lunch boxes. The professor was usually gentle and refined, and didn't seem like a person with a bad temper at all. Until he heard that a drone research professor next door had stolen 10% of his funding, he rushed over without saying a word, caused a scene in the lab, trampled several drones, and almost escalated into a fight.

For these highly qualified individuals, if you insult them, they'll just laugh it off and won't hold it against you.

If you tell them about the shortcomings of their research, they won't care, because you're not even part of their circle, and they never expect you to understand their data.

But if you dare to cut their budget...

It was cut down to a quarter of the original price...

That means they're really going to fight you to the death.

In the end, it was only thanks to Yua and the two Hokage that things didn't go wrong.

In the end, You Ya stepped in and said that he would give him the full amount this year because of me, and as for next year... well, that depends on his application next year.

Despite his respect for Yuya, Raiichi snorted a few times and went to approve the funds.

Orochimaru wasn't so happy either. Although he did get the money this year, he would have to rely on himself every year from now on.

Looking at You Ya, his heart began to stir completely.

No, we need to prepare some cells from the Third Hokage. When the Third Hokage dies, we'll resurrect him using Edo Tensei.

Of course, it's impossible to let him continue working in Konoha; that would be a waste of his talent.

Orochimaru thought to himself:

When the Edo Tensei is released...

Let him help me make money.

This is the correct way to use the third generation.
