Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 61 Hinata Kazuko

"Since they're all fighting so fiercely, it would be unreasonable for Konoha not to do something in return." This is what Yua said when he saw the intelligence about other countries attacking neighboring small countries.

Nara Shika was also somewhat puzzled: "Does Konoha intend to join the war?"

You Ya shrugged: "Why not?"

Nara Shika also tensed up: "But, the Konoha Village troops are all with the Hokage right now, all at the front lines..."

Actually, there are still several thousand ninjas in Konoha. After all, Konoha Village is the main base, and who knows, someone might cause trouble there?

Youya will never forget the guy who was secretly plotting against you.

"Who says participating in a war necessarily means fighting on the battlefield?"

Youya grinned, "Don't you know that war is a great opportunity to make money?"

……

When news of Konoha's discounted goods reached the village of Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure, it didn't register with the Konoha representatives.

But when they saw the discounted items and various ninja tools and explosive tags, they realized what was going on.

Even though it's only a 5% discount, it's still cheaper, isn't it?

Now is the time when the country needs these things, buy them! Not buying them is utterly inhuman!

As a result, Yuya cleared out Konoha's excess production capacity, and the merchants in the village made a fortune and were overjoyed.

Then, just a few days later, Yuya made a high-profile announcement that Konoha's First Savings Bank had opened.

This is an organization that binds these merchants to Konoha, though of course, the merchants are unaware of it yet.

At the same time, a new law, the Currency Law, was also promulgated.

Ordinary people don't need to care, since it's not aimed at ordinary people.

It details that no one except the Konoha government has the right to interpret any actions involving currency.

Some business owners complained about these new regulations, not so much because they were dissatisfied, but mainly because there were too many rules and they had to learn them all over again.

In fact, they don't need to learn anything. They just need to know that if they do business honestly, the authorities won't care. But if they do something they shouldn't do or touch something they shouldn't touch, then one of these new regulations will surely send them to prison.

……

There hasn't been much news from the other clans in Konoha lately, which makes Yua feel a bit bored.

I initially thought these families were truly determined to oppose me, but in the end they backed down.

Okay, Yua knows it's because of Tobirama Senju. These families certainly wouldn't dare to openly oppose Tobirama Senju, but they definitely harbor resentment towards Yua.

Yuya, of course, didn't care about this.

However, some things do need to be put on the agenda.

Since you families are playing the passive-aggressive game with me, I'll use money to pry open your doors. I refuse to believe you're all so noble that you won't even accept money when offered!

The first goal...

Let's go with the Hyuga clan.

……

The Hyuga clan, although they haven't shown particularly strong fighting power in the manga, they still constantly boast that they are the number one clan in Konoha.

With the Sarutobi clan's 3,000 ninja troops on the field, you're no match for the number one clan! (Sarutobi: Stop talking, stop talking! I'm truly devoted to Konoha and have no other intentions!)

Of course, it cannot be denied that the Hyuga clan still possesses considerable fighting power.

As for the Uchiha...

To be fair, the ordinary ninjas in this clan are just average, but there are way too many overpowered characters. And every generation has had overpowered characters without a break, which is just ridiculous.

Yua set her sights on the Hyuga clan...

The Uchiha clan refused before, so what else could be done?

If someone rejects you today, are you going to rush to please them tomorrow? How pathetic is that?

When Yuya left the Hokage's office and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory, many people received this news.

When Yuya arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory, he was met with a group of people who looked at him with disdain.

To be honest, that eye roll is actually a bit creepy.

However, Yua wasn't afraid. It was just intimidating to look at. No, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village dared to directly attack him.

That was to force Tobirama Senju to make a note of it in his little notebook.

Look at the Uchiha clan. Just because they didn't get along with the Senju clan before, they abandoned Madara Uchiha and refused Tobirama, who was clinging to the Senju clan. They even kept targeting them. That shows how petty they are.

Other families don't want to be the next target.

Feeling emboldened, Yuya headed straight into the Hyuga clan's territory.

These Hyuga ninjas could only retreat continuously; not one of them dared to step forward.

Youya's lips curled up; just as I thought...

"Damn it! You actually came!"

Then a figure jumped out and stood in front of Youya with his hands on his hips.

You Ya's lips twitched; he did recognize the person who had come.

Hinata Kazuko. She was often tricked by Yuya during her school years.

"Ahem, Kazuko, it's been a long time," Yua greeted.

Kazuko, hands on her hips, leaned close to Yua and said, "Do you want the Hyuga clan to become a laughingstock of Konoha, just like the Uchiha?!"

Last time, Yuya's plan to have Uchiha Kagami bring back the Uchiha clan's hospital with a morgue was a huge embarrassment for the Uchiha clan.

It's really strange that Yuya genuinely wanted to help the Uchiha clan make money, but the Uchiha clan gave up because of some rumors.

As a result, the hospital still hasn't been built.

However, the medical ninja Yua has already gathered and is training, or rather, cultivating, a group of skillful girls.

Basically, the first batch of doctors will be available in one to two years at most.

Therefore, Yuya will be able to build the hospital within two years at most, and at the same time, he can take over the small clinics in Konoha. These doctors are also valuable.

However, since this world already has ninjas like cattle and horses, there's no need to rush to build it.

Yuya shook his head helplessly at Hinata Kazuko: "Whether you believe it or not, I really meant well for them."

Hinata Kazuko looked at Yua with a "you think I'm an idiot" expression.

Yuya has a clear conscience. If the Uchiha had really agreed, Yuya certainly wouldn't have done anything to deliberately trick them.

They didn't agree, so what else is there to say?

However, unlike the Uchiha clan, I've got the Hyuga clan wrapped around my little finger. No one can change my mind! That's what I said!

As Yuya thought this, he grinned and revealed a kind smile.

Hyuga Kazuko felt a chill run down her spine. It was bad enough that Yua had tricked her at school, but now that she had graduated and become a genin, this guy was still coming after her.

Hyuga Kazuko took a deep breath, then stretched out her arms and shouted loudly to Yua, "The clan leader isn't here!"

Yuya looked speechless: "Who went to your clan leader? Anyway, it's not the clan leader who makes the decisions in your Hyuga clan, so what's the point of going to him?"

Hyuga Kazuko was completely stunned. Yua actually dared to say something like that?!

In the end, Yua was invited into the Hyuga clan's territory.

Thankfully, the elite members of the Hyuga clan have all gone to the front lines with Tobirama Senju, otherwise Yua...

Otherwise, Youya would become even more arrogant.

After all, if the Hyuga clan leader and all the elite Hyuga ninjas returned, then Tobirama Senju would also return, and Yua would be able to take off immediately.

Every clan in Konoha has its problems to some extent. The Uchiha clan is a prime example, as the entire clan has issues. As for the Hyuga clan, it's just a normal power struggle within the clan. Thank goodness, in this godforsaken place like Konoha, internal strife within a clan seems perfectly normal.
