Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 519 is not good.

[Title Page Story:]

Hidden Stone Village, Tsuchikage's Office:

Onoki frowned, looking at the intelligence gathered by his subordinates with a headache.

Onoki: What the hell is wrong with this world? All the able-bodied men in Kirigakure are gathering here? Are they preparing for war again?

Who are they going to fight?

Forget it, forget it all. We, the Hidden Stone Village, must keep up, or we might suffer some losses. We'll also gather our forces and be ready to defend against attacks from other villages!

……

Konoha Village, Hokage's Office:

Yuya leaned back in the comfortable leather chair, holding the report handed to him by Nara Shikaku.

"Fugaku is really something else," Yua said, resting his chin on his hand. "The first batch of Six Paths Chakra was so small, yet he still tried to increase his share through such petty tricks."

The Hyuga branch family was able to receive a share because there were quite a few members in the Hyuga branch family.

Does this guy think he can get two portions just by kicking Itachi out?

Yuya shook his head, feeling that Uchiha Fugaku had made a terrible move this time.

After a moment's thought, Nara Shikaku asked, "What if... Fugaku Uchiha's goal isn't to get a larger share?"

Yuya was taken aback and looked at Nara Shikaku with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?"

Nara Shikaku said softly, "If I were in Uchiha Fugaku's position..."

What I can think of is that, aside from the possibility of double share, there is still one advantage to doing this.

It was able to draw the attention of those within Konoha's inner city who had long since left the Uchiha clan's territory.

After listening to Nara Shikaku's words, Yuya thought for a moment and asked, "So, you mean...?"

"He'll probably make some more moves," Nara Shikaku said, then added after a moment's thought, "If he doesn't, then I guess I was wrong."

Nara Shikaku's idea was correct.

Fugaku Uchiha didn't seem like an idiot at all; he couldn't possibly not know that his crude method wouldn't be able to obtain two portions of the Six Paths Chakra.

But he did it anyway.

Is it possible that...?

Was his original goal not the Six Paths Chakra?

After hearing this, Youya thought it was actually quite possible...

However, we'll have to wait and see what Fugaku does next to know for sure.

Putting aside the matter of Fugaku, Yua handed a piece of intelligence to Nara Shikaku.

"This is information relayed back from the people in Kirigakure. Take a close look."

Nara Shikaku took it and looked at it, then immediately frowned.

"A large number of young and middle-aged men from Kirigakure have gathered together?" Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and then shook his head. "I don't know why. The current situation in Kirigakure is not very optimistic, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did something."

Yuya frowned and nodded: "I also don't understand what that woman, Terumi Mei, is trying to do."

Since the civil war that lasted for several years more than 30 years ago completely destroyed the country, Kirigakure has been in a state of semi-death ever since. The country's most important mines are either in our hands or in the hands of Kumogakure.

"They don't seem to be planning to cause trouble at all..."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku had a sudden inspiration and asked Yua, "Hokage-sama, could it be because of this?"

"What?" Youya was a little confused.

"The Mizukage of Kirigakure discovered the current state of her village, and feeling pessimistic, she decided to give up entirely..."

Yuya frowned and pondered after hearing Nara Shikaku's words.

That's not right...

Mei Terumi isn't that brainless in the manga, is she...?

but……

After thinking about what Nara Shikaku said, Yua realized that it was indeed true.

Within Kirigakure's current territory, 20% of the discovered gold mines are owned by Konoha, another 20% are held by Kirigakure's exclusive Royal Mining Company, and of the remaining 60%, 51% are held by the Mizukage, and the remaining 9% were transferred from Kirigakure to the Royal Mining Company in exchange for mining rights.

That's right, the headquarters of this Royal Mining Company is located in Konoha Village, within Konoha's inner city.

Okay, the shareholder behind it is Youya.

Heaven have mercy, Youya only did this for the gold.

They used to need a lot of gold to enhance their strength.

However, now that Yuya has accumulated nearly all of the world's gold reserves, amounting to hundreds of thousands of tons, Yuya felt there was no possibility of further expansion, so Yuya stopped.

However, the situation of large-scale gold hoarding in Konoha Village remains unchanged.

After Mei Terumi discovered this, and considering Yua's gold standard economic policy, could she have imagined that Yua was using this to amass assets worldwide?

You Ya's body trembled. This can't be true, can it? How could they even detect this?!

but……

If we think about it in this direction...

Mei Terumi might actually disregard everything and fight Yua to the death.

After all, under the rules set by Yua, it's not only difficult for Kirigakure to catch up with Konoha, but even Iwagakure would have a hard time catching up.

In that case, it's not impossible that Mei Terumi might decide to take a desperate gamble...

After thinking for a long time, Yuya sighed: "Let the ninja army stand by for now, ready to attack at any time."

"Yes." Nara Shikaku nodded.

……

So, on the side of Kirigakure:

"What? Konoha and Kumogakure have gathered their armies together?" Mei Terumi looked at Ao, who was reporting to her, with a shocked expression.

Qing nodded with a serious expression: "Absolutely true."

Because Youya never backed down after taking over, Qing's eyes no longer had any white eyes.

However, because Yua rose to power, the Fourth Shinobi World War only lasted once, so Ao's eyes were saved. It can only be said that this Jonin from Kirigakure was quite pleased with this situation.

"Hmm... In that case, we should also prepare. Order all the ninjas of Kirigakure to be on standby at any time."

After Qing received the order to take his leave, Terumi Mei sighed helplessly at her miserable fate.

She just wanted to find a man to marry first, and she was willing to tolerate it even if it meant he had to marry into her family.

But all those villagers are bastards!

Can't I just pick out the best one from all these men first?!

That's really too much.

Mei Terumi sighed, but then looked somewhat gloating.

I wonder who these guys are targeting this time.

Her Hidden Mist Village is so far from the mainland now, it couldn't possibly really be her, could it?!

……

Yuya focused his attention on the entire ninja world, so he naturally couldn't pay attention to his own village.

But he never expected...

These guys actually pulled off a major stunt...

When Yua learned that these guys had actually decided to determine the ownership and ranking of the Six Paths Chakra through battles between the younger generation of their families...

You Ya's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

no……

Are you guys playing this game so lightly?!

Why aren't you guys fighting amongst yourselves?!

That's right, Youya felt that the excitement this time was too small... and not interesting enough.
