Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 76 The So-Called Big Event

The saying "Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future" makes a lot of sense.

However, Yu Ya's understanding of this statement is that if I leave myself an out, then the other party must also make appropriate concessions based on the fact that I have left myself an out.

Yua was after power, while Sarutobi was after his own interests. Neither of them had much to say.

Now, Yuya can be said to have the upper hand. He still has many ways to suppress the Sarutobi clan. However, the Sarutobi clan also knows how to assess the situation and directly sent people to sue for peace.

Of course, Yua didn't believe a word the Sarutobi clan ninja said yesterday.

For You Ya, the premise of leaving a way out for others is that you have to give me the corresponding benefits for taking that step back before I will leave a way out for others.

The current head of the Sarutobi clan, that old fellow who came from the war years, doesn't understand.

I never expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would understand this principle.

As expected of the Third Hokage in the original history, although his public image was mostly one of cowardly and incompetent behavior, he did lead Konoha through the most dangerous forty years.

Yeah, it was also forty years of being provoked by others and getting beaten up at the drop of a hat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was suddenly and hastily appointed to the position by Tobirama Senju, while Danzo Shimura believed he was also capable of taking the position, and the two began to compete openly and covertly.

After Shimura Danzo was squeezed out of Konoha's core power circle, he could only play in the mud with the so-called ANBU "Root". Even after the Third Hokage died, he could not come to the surface to see that the Third Hokage still had his methods.

Of course, what Yua didn't know was that Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed not stupid, but more importantly, he had received guidance from Tobirama Senju.

In Yua's eyes, the Sarutobi clan was dispensable, but for Tobirama Senju, the Sarutobi clan was the best tool to keep the Uchiha clan in check.

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi brought such a sincere apology gift, Yua will reluctantly accept it and promise not to target the Sarutobi clan anymore.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Yua eagerly opened the ninja scroll. Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi had said, this scroll contained the area of ​​the Sarutobi clan's territory, which Hashirama Senju had personally marked for Sarutobi when Konoha was founded, stipulating that the land within this area belonged to the Sarutobi clan.

With a smile, Yuya accepted the scroll and summoned Uchiha Kagami, instructing him to notify Nara Shikaya to deliver the land use certificate to the Sarutobi clan.

Of course, the area specified on it was only one-quarter of what was depicted on the scroll that the Sarutobi clan gave to Yua.

Yua built a bank in the Sarutobi clan's territory, and then Hiruzen Sarutobi gave them more than half of the land. Now, the Sarutobi clan only actually controls their ancestral home and the land around the back mountain.

This vast expanse of land in Sarutobi remains undeveloped, with various primeval forest-like landscapes. Yuya grinned as he pondered what to build on it.

After much thought, there's only one answer...

hospital.

After all, since the Uchiha clan rejected Yua's proposal, Yua wouldn't shamelessly beg the Uchiha clan for help; that's simply not going to happen.

If you don't want it, then I'll build the hospital here.

Perfect timing! The Sarutobi clan will definitely have a lot of complaints about me after this incident. Build the hospital. How much you hate me this year, how much you'll be grateful to me in three years.

Yuya really didn't believe it. The convenience and benefits that the hospital could bring, being right next door, weren't enough to win over the hearts of your Sarutobi clan.

Do you guys even have prices that high?!

Of course, the main reason is that the hospital really needs to be built urgently.

To put it bluntly, a city can exist without schools and factories, but it absolutely cannot exist without hospitals.

From a modern scientific perspective, a hospital can save at least several thousand lives each year.

The calculation formula remains the same: the wealth a person can create in their lifetime far exceeds the monetary value of the wages they receive from their work.

The greatest benefit is if saving someone's life allows them to continue working and contributing their remaining energy.

This may sound too profit-driven, but it's the truth.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were so few doctors and that the medical ninjas were on the front lines, Yuya would have decided to open the hospital first.

Konoha has seen its share of deaths in the past two years.

At least several thousand people have died from various accidents and other ailments.

These things could have been avoided.

If there were a hospital...

But all of that is in the past. Compared to the chaos caused by the lack of doctors after the hospital was built, it would have been better not to give the villagers this hope in the first place.

Once the hospital is built, the medical ninjas who were on the front lines of the battlefield will retire and become the heads of the various departments in the hospital. After Yuya trains the nurses for Kunnian to take up their posts, the hospital can officially open for business.

everything……

We'll see when Konoha withdraws its troops from the front lines.

After Yuya told Tobirama Senju about the current situation, Tobirama Senju felt helpless.

I also want to get all the ninjas back from the front lines as soon as possible, but there's nothing I can do!

The internal chaos in Kumogakure is far from over!

If Kinkaku and Ginkaku were to successfully usurp the throne, those brothers would definitely attack Konoha immediately; that's the kind of pair of brothers they are.

Yuya was confused: "Why are these two targeting Konoha so much?"

Tobirama Senju shook his head and sighed, "Their target isn't Konoha, but the Nine-Tails."

Then, Tobirama Senju told Yua a story that Yua already knew.

The Gold and Silver Horns possess the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths and inherited his immense power. Moreover, the magical artifacts they wield are incredibly powerful. They once clashed with Tobirama Senju, but Tobirama didn't fight them at full strength and simply fled.

Furthermore, the two brothers fought against the Nine-Tails. Although they did not defeat the Nine-Tails, they managed to steal a portion of its chakra, which gave them some of the Nine-Tails' abilities.

It was precisely because they knew how powerful Kurama's chakra was that they thought about how to get their hands on Kurama every day.

They certainly wouldn't have dared to attack Konoha when Hashirama Senju was around, but now they're in a bind.

Moreover... it's probably because of their immense strength that they didn't want to remain subservient to others for long, which is why they suddenly launched a riot and killed the Second Raikage.

At this point, Tobirama Senju sighed: "It is said that the Second Raikage was ambushed by the Gold and Silver Brothers and their troops. After realizing that he was no match for them, he fought the Gold and Silver Brothers and their troops for three days and three nights in order to cover the retreat of the Cloud Village troops. In the end, he died from exhaustion."

Although we had been locked in a stalemate on the battlefield for two and a half years, this kind of death is at least manly.

Looking at Tobirama Senju's expression, Yuya knew that his uncle was probably asking him whether he would make the same choice as the Raikage if he were in the same situation.

Yuya smiled and, too lazy to say anything else to his uncle, continued to discuss the future development of Konoha.

The most important thing is currency.

With 250 tons of gold as a safety net, Konoha's banknotes are incredibly robust, almost guaranteeing that Konoha can continue to over-issue 3% of its currency for the next twenty years without any problems...

"Wait, wait, wait!" Tobirama Senju couldn't sit still any longer. "Wait a minute, didn't you just want 100 tons of gold from me?"

You Ya blinked: "Oh, Uncle-Master! Putting it with you is the same as putting it in the bank, isn't it? Besides, you have all the control, so it's all yours anyway."

Youya deliberately omitted the fact that the other shareholders were businessmen.

Of course, that's how it was originally. When it was built, Tobirama Senju invested real money, so he had a 51% stake. Yua was the one who actually operated it, so Yua also allocated 29% to himself. Of course, apart from Tobirama Senju, the other merchants didn't know this, and they didn't want to know. With Tobirama Senju taking the lead, these merchants' attention was definitely on Tobirama Senju.

But Tobirama Senju wasn't so easily fooled by Yua: "You brat, tell me! Are you eyeing my gold?! That's from the gold mine we dug up from Kumogakure! You can't just mess around like that!"

Yuya began to earnestly persuade him, saying that keeping more gold in his hands was useless, and it would be better to use it to develop Konoha. He said, "Look, if you throw these two hundred tons of gold down, Konoha will definitely take off! Isn't that what you want to see?!"

Tobirama Senju was conflicted.

Although he knew that Yuya was just pretending and was actually eyeing his gold.

But what Yuya said also makes sense...

Whether you keep the money yourself or put it in a bank... it's all just for show...

Only by investing in the village can these gold pieces realize their greatest value.

While Yua was persuading Tobirama Senju, and Tobirama was actually considering the matter...

Uchiha Kagami suddenly announced that a ninja from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) wanted to see the Hokage.

Tobirama Senju pursed his lips and waved his hand, ignoring him.

Yuya asked curiously, "What are they doing here? Isn't their country in turmoil? Why is Kumogakure coming here?"

"They want to order 100,000 explosive tags, and they've already brought a deposit."

"Whoosh!" Tobirama Senju immediately stood up and coughed, "This is a serious matter, and I must personally oversee it."

Youya shook his head helplessly as he watched the guy turn and leave.

Is it necessary, Uncle-Master...?

One hundred thousand explosive tags, what's the big deal...?

Money makes you greedy...

Huh? How come the backend shows that my account was banned and then unbanned? Is this some kind of crazy operation?
