Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 99 Entering the Game

"Oh my, isn't this our Konoha's great hero, Mr. Danzo? Please, please have a seat!" Yua said with a smile, pulling Danzo to sit down before asking him kindly:

"Danzo-san, is there something you need from me this time?"

Danzo Shimura's face flushed red. He knew perfectly well that Yua was making sarcastic remarks about him, but he couldn't get angry, and he didn't even dare to show it.

He composed himself and forced a smile: "I'm here mainly to discuss the matter of exchanging the Shimura family's year-end bonus for stock options..."

"Um, acting secretary, since you've already distributed them to the other families in Konoha, you can't be biased towards one over the other..."

Even now, when asking for favors, Danzo still refers to Yua as his secretary or acting secretary.

The last person in Konoha Village to consistently use this title was the old head of the Sarutobi clan.

Yes, he's currently under house arrest by the Sarutobi clan.

There's only one reason: the Sarutobi clan is afraid that if Yua sees that he's in a bad mood, he might cut off the Sarutobi clan's shares. Then where would they go to complain?

Anyway, the Sarutobi clan is doing quite well now that he's no longer their leader, isn't it? prprprpr (licking tongue) Let me count how much pocket money I earn in a year, hehehe, pocket money, so sweet~

So the clan chief should just stay at home.

What? They were involved in decision-making before?

That's impossible, absolutely impossible. It's all because the old clan chief is tyrannical, autocratic, and unconventional. We've been trying to dissuade him, but we just haven't actually done so.

Anyway, nowadays, most of the big and small families in Konoha Village are referred to as Yuya by agents.

The word "secretary" is nothing but a joke.

However, some people still take this joke seriously.

For example, this one in front of me~

You Ya narrowed his eyes, then chuckled and spread his hands: "I can't help it, look, they've all been divided up, there really isn't anything left~"

Danzo Shimura's expression twisted for a moment. He took a deep breath, then looked at Yua and said softly, "...Why would an agent utter such flimsy words? The dividends you give to other families are only a small portion. Why deceive me like this?"

Youya laughed, "So you actually know what's going on, don't you?"

You only learn to behave when I give you a hard time.

Yuya's expression instantly changed: "Oh dear, what are you saying? You're a hero of Konoha Village, don't say that, don't say that~"

Yuya made a sarcastic remark, then took out a scroll and handed it to Shimura Danzo: "This is a list of companies in Konoha Village. Hero, pick one~"

Danzo paused for a moment, then looked at Yua with some disbelief: "Me... pick one?"

You Ya raised an eyebrow and nodded, gesturing for him to proceed.

Danzo looked at Yua with some disbelief, while Yua chuckled and said, "Don't overthink it, there's no conspiracy."

Well, at least there's no conspiracy here.

Danzo unrolled the scroll and looked at the list with suspicion, but after just one glance, he was relieved.

Because options like hospitals and banks, which are absolutely impossible to find here, are not listed.

If it really happened, Danzo wouldn't have dared to choose it even if he had a hundred lives, and it proves that there was definitely a trap.

Danzo asked as he looked at it, "What does 'proxy' mean?"

As the saying goes, once there is one, there will be two, and naturally there will be three. Since the first agent has been appointed, the second and third will naturally follow.

Yuya smiled and said to Danzo, "Mr. Danzo can choose any of the companies here. For the rest of the year, the company will belong to the Shimura clan. After one year, the Shimura clan will receive whatever profits the company makes."

Of course, during this period I will withdraw all my investment in this company, and the staff will be reassigned elsewhere. Recruiting and operations will be your responsibility.

Shimura Danzo understood. Yuya was clearly telling him that he felt Yuya couldn't even manage a company properly.

If you can't even manage one enterprise, how can you talk about managing an entire village?

Danzo Shimura frowned. He looked at Yua, knowing things weren't that simple, so he coldly stared at Yua and said, "You'll be targeting our company this year, won't you?"

You Ya laughed: "Oh my, what are you saying~~~"

Then Youya's face instantly darkened: "You've tripped me up so many times, but I'm not allowed to play some tricks on you? You're allowed to deal with me, but I'm not allowed to play with you?"

Danzo, how can you be so shameless?

Danzo was not angry.

On the contrary, he felt relieved to see Youya tear off his disguise.

So, what You Ya wanted was to give him a company and then target them during that year. There's not much to say about that. As You Ya said, you're allowed to be disgusting to others, but others can't be disgusting to you.

Why should I?

Do you think you're so great?

This is a point that other families in Konoha Village also acknowledge.

Just like the Sarutobi clan, they messed with Yua before, but Yua retaliated and smashed them into the ground. The Sarutobi clan couldn't say anything about it.

It's normal for someone to retaliate when you make a move against them.

The key now is...

This condition...

To answer or not to answer.

After pondering for a long time, Shimura Danzo looked up at Yuya and said, "Fine, I accept, but I have one condition: you're not allowed to use any underhanded tactics. I'll accept you fair and square. Underhanded tactics..."

Yuya interrupted him directly, looking at Shimura Danzo with disdain: "Let me be blunt, I will not participate in creating anything against you. It's all up to your own efforts."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes, then stood up and extended his hand: "It's a deal."

You Ya chuckled and shook hands: "It's a deal."

……

In early February of Konoha Year 23, the Shimura clan took over the village's beverage manufacturing plant.

The following day, after the handover was completed, the factory manager, deputy factory manager, and heads of various departments of the beverage manufacturing plant all left the factory and were transferred by You Ya to a new factory to serve as the factory manager.

Two-thirds of the factory workers left because the new factory offered wages that were one-third higher than their current wages.

However, one-third of the original workers remained at the beverage factory.

The new factory opened by Yu Ya is called "Wood Leaf Tobacco Manufacturing Plant".

While it is true that smoking is harmful to health in a strict sense.

However, when you are unhappy in life, bottling it up will cause internal damage, while venting it will hurt yourself and the people around you.

So why not light a cigarette and exhale all your worries and frustrations as you smoke?

Although it is harmful to health, this thing is indeed a magical tool for relieving stress.

Okay, all of the above is nonsense. The only reason that made Yuya determined to open this factory is...

That's fucking profitable...

It's not very profitable, it's just too much! He! Ma! Profitable!

I apologize for saying this, but for the sake of Konoha's development...

Let's build it anyway.

In the middle of the same month, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure arrived in Konoha with his guard.

It wasn't until this moment that Yuya realized...

It turns out that doing this was actually normal in the original history of Tobirama Senju...

Because the Third Raikage of Kumogakure arrived with his guards...

His Cloud Village army made no move!

No way! You really trust your boss that much when he comes here?!

You should at least make a show of it!

You need to assemble a large army so you can put pressure on Konoha, you know that?!

You Ya sighed helplessly; he had overcomplicated things with these guys.

Well, keeping it simple is fine too.

Although the Third Raikage's visit was ostensibly to negotiate peace, Yua was unlikely to let this opportunity pass by and bring Kumogakure into Konoha's sphere of business partnerships.

The northern grasslands of Kumogakure are perfect for grazing.

Even in the Hidden Cloud Village, there is no need for deliberate feeding. Under purely free-range conditions, the number of cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock exceeds one million.

This means that after five or six years of hard work, looking back, there are still only a few hundred thousand different types of livestock.

Youya must have cried herself to death in the toilet.

With the Third Raikage's arrival, Yua is determined to make his Hidden Cloud Village a meat supply base for Konoha.
