Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 63 A True Judge of Character

Yuya eventually met with the elders of the Hyuga clan.

The elderly people in Hyuga didn't look too good; they were clearly unhappy that Yua had targeted them.

My previous visit to the Uchiha clan made them a laughingstock.

Is this kid trying to make Hyuga a laughing stock in Konoha?

Yuya's first words, spoken with a cheerful smile, immediately caught the Hyuga clan elders off guard: "Elders, don't make that face, I'm here to help the Hyuga!"

You fucking help me? I, Hyuga, don't need your help! Get lost! Get lost now!

Despite thinking this way, as the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, and Yua was ultimately placed in this position by Tobirama Senju.

They wouldn't dare to kick Youya out directly.

The former head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Niyo, calmly said to Yua, "Don't joke around, Agent. You've come a long way today and must be tired. If there's nothing else, please go back. The Hyuga clan hasn't prepared any food for you."

Yuya smiled, seemingly oblivious to the other party's attempt to shoo him away: "Elder Chief, you flatter me. Although you are old and have retired, the affairs of the Hyuga clan still need to go through your hands. Although I have come from afar, seeing you makes it all worthwhile."

Hinata Niyou's face turned green. "You little beast! Who are you being sarcastic to?!"

"Besides, I've come here specifically to help the Hyuga clan," Yuya said with a smile, spreading his hands. "The Hyuga clan has been facing some financial difficulties lately, hasn't it?"

Hyuga Nichiyo directly denied it: "How could that be? The Hyuga clan is a major clan in Konoha. If the Hyuga are in trouble, doesn't that mean the village itself is in trouble?"

Yuya completely ignored the sarcasm in the other person's words and went straight to the point: "How can they be the same? The inner city is very well developed, and the land utilization rate is so high that almost every inch is carefully planned."

But the Hyuga clan's territory... such a large area of ​​land just sits there empty... it breaks my heart."

Hinata Nichiyou almost started swearing.

Damn it, so you're just making your intentions clear from the start?! You've really got your eyes on the Hyuga clan's land!

Hyuga Niyo: "Since the founding of Konoha, the Hyuga clan has served the village under two Hokage, doing countless hardships. Konoha should not treat the Hyuga clan like this."

Seeing that the old bastard had retreated and started to play the victim, Yuya didn't respond. Instead, he smiled and followed Hyuga Niyo's lead, saying, "Didn't I say that I'm here today to bring benefits to the Hyuga clan?"

The old man is right. The Hyuga clan has made significant contributions to the development of Konoha, so Konoha should naturally reciprocate by bringing numerous benefits to the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Niyo was speechless. How could this possibly be steered to this point?

There was nothing he could do; Yua's skin was as thick as a city wall, and he simply wouldn't engage in conversation. Hyuga Niyo had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "I wonder what the agent intends to do with the Hyuga clan's lands, and what benefits the Hyuga clan will gain from it...?"

He was determined that as long as You Ya presented his proposal, he would resolutely refuse it, and no one else could change his mind.

Yuya chuckled and said, "I plan to use one-third of the Hyuga clan's land to build a childcare center with an amusement park, specifically for children."

"No way! My Hyuga clan... Hmm? A foster home? What's this?" Hyuga Niyo waved his hand dismissively, refusing the offer first.

But then it dawned on me—this thing called a custody center…

Never heard of it...

You Ya explained that it is a place specifically prepared for children aged one to six.

Their parents need to work during the day, and Konoha's current population is mostly middle-aged with few teenagers. Last year saw a surge in pregnancies, and this year is expected to see a baby boom.

In Konoha Village, almost every household has someone working in the factory, and in many cases, both parents are factory workers.

If there is no childcare facility after the birth of a child, one of the parents must take care of the child.

But with childcare facilities, parents can leave their children at the facility before going to work during the day and pick them up after get off work, so both parents can go to work.

Furthermore, Yuya pointed out that as this generation of Konoha residents gradually ages within twenty years, the care facility business will not disappear after twenty years; instead, it will gradually stabilize due to a new baby boom.

Moreover...

In Yua's early concept sketches, the facility required a large area, but not to the extent that it would require one-third of the Hyuga clan's territory.

More importantly, there was the construction of that amusement park.

Yuya had long noticed that as the guys in Konoha Village had more spare money and fewer entertainment facilities, some of them turned their abundant energy after work into drinking, strolling around the streets, and gambling at Konoha casinos, becoming complete hooligans.

The key point is that there are quite a few people like this.

Some people are hopeless gamblers, but others are simply looking for a little excitement because there are too few forms of entertainment and factory work is too monotonous.

Because it hasn't been long, there haven't been any major problems yet, or rather, because the economy has grown so fast, any problems have been masked.

Once the economy slows down, a host of problems will surface.

Youya certainly cannot accept this future, so he will find a way to let these people release their boundless energy.

He knew that electricity and the internet could definitely be created in the Naruto world, but he didn't know how.

Furthermore, the Naruto movies even feature filming equipment, which suggests that there is potential for developing cultural and entertainment-related industries.

Unfortunately, Youya didn't know how to use electricity or the internet.

But that's okay. Entertainment facilities aren't limited to what Youya is thinking. There were amusement parks back in my life when there was no internet, as mentioned in history books.

Let's build an amusement park first and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, we've already got the land. If the amusement park doesn't make money, we can just demolish it and build a primary school instead.

Yua's string of words left Hyuga Niyo somewhat bewildered.

The main thing is, I've never seen anything like this before!

They started spouting nonsense right away, turning this boarding house, which was tied to the amusement park, into the hope for Konoha's future.

but……

"Since the agent is so optimistic about this organization, then I would like to ask, can you guarantee how much benefit this organization will bring to the Hyuga clan?" Hyuga Niyo sneered inwardly.

What kind of foster care facility is this? I've never seen anything like it before. And they want a third of the Hyuga clan's territory just by talking?!

Do you fucking think I, Hinata, am an idiot?!

Yuya chuckled and said, "Konoha's inner city has 187,926 households with a total population of over 610,000. Of these people, ninja clans make up about one-fifth of the population, but according to the household registration ratio, each ninja clan can only be counted as one household."

Of course, we won't concern ourselves with these matters. These ninja families are not the target of the foster care facility, because their children will naturally be taken care of and do not need to be placed in the facility.

Our target... is naturally those ordinary people, those Konoha villagers who are too busy with work to take care of their children.

Hinata Niyo was speechless. How did it become "us"?

You're shameless.

"If we calculate based on 1,000 taels of silver per household per month, and if every household in Konoha with over 100,000 households places their children in a childcare center, each household would receive 12,000 taels of silver per year. The childcare center's income would be close to 2 billion taels of silver."

Hyuga Niyo was taken aback, then his breathing suddenly became heavier.

Even the other elders of the Hyuga clan behind Hyuga Niyo suddenly found their breathing becoming much heavier.

Two billion!

They've never even seen a number divided by ten in their entire lives, let alone that number!

Yu Ya chuckled and continued, "Of course, the real situation can't be calculated like that. Although Konoha has a large population base, there are still elderly people, and they are the best choice to take care of children without having to pay extra. So we have to take this into account."

Then there are some parents who, due to various circumstances, do not go to work and stay at home. I know of many people who, because of injuries, can only do some handicrafts or small businesses at home, and there are quite a few of them.

Further excluding those who simply don't want to place their children in a foster care facility...

I estimate that after completion and official operation for a year, the revenue will only be around four or five hundred million.

Hinata Niyo nearly tore off his hand that was gripping his beard.

This number also really appealed to him.

Yuya made the final decision: "Of course, I won't force the Hyuga clan. If the Hyuga clan is unwilling, I can go to Shimura, Sarutobi, and the others."

However, because the Hyuga clan has always been a backbone and pillar of Konoha, the quintessential members of the clan, the very backbone of the village… that's why you were the first people I thought of.”

Yuya smiled and looked at Hyuga Nichiyou: "So... what do you think, Elder Clan Chief?"

Hyuga Niyo remained silent.

After a long while, the corners of his mouth turned up, his expression like a blooming old chrysanthemum: "Appointee, you have a keen eye for talent! Who else but me could handle this?! It has to be my Hyuga clan!"
