Chapter 40: Succeeding as Hokage and a large amount of debt.

the sun shines

Uchiha Nan was still lying on the bed, snoring. He had no idea how much alcohol he had drunk last night. In the end, he drank until he lost consciousness.

dong dong dong! !

Boom boom boom! ! !
There was a hurried knock on the door. Manji, who was sleeping nearby, got up reluctantly to open the door. An auntie rushed in. She was here to give Uchiha Nan the divine robe!
The divine robes of the first two generations of Hokage were made by this aunt. The embroidery of the words "Sandaime Hokage" had extremely high requirements. She started working on it late at night after the death of Senju Tobirama. Fortunately, it was finished in advance.

This auntie has lived a long life indeed. Uchiha Nan has an impression of her. She lived from the time of Hashirama Senju to the time when Naruto became Hokage. She can be called a living fossil of Konoha!

Uchiha Nan quickly put on his clothes, thanked his aunt, put on the divine robe and the Hokage hat.

"Xiao Manji!"

"Am I handsome?"

Uchiha Nan glanced at the mirror conceitedly. The more he looked, the more he admired himself. He was simply the Xu Gong of Konoha!
"handsome!"

Manji raised his paws and spoke his true feelings loudly.

Uchiha Nan waved to Manji, and Manji skillfully jumped onto Uchiha Nan's shoulders.

"Let's go and take up the post of Hokage!"

Not long after, Uchiha Kusunoki arrived at the Hokage Building of Konoha. The Hokage Building was located in the very center of Konoha, with stone statues of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, facing him behind. As for the stone statue of Uchiha Kusunoki, it was still being carved!
This is a meticulous job. As the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tomita will personally check the statue, so it will probably take some time.

There is a huge square below the Hokage Building, which is crowded with Konoha's ninjas and villagers, who are full of expectations for Konoha's new Hokage.

"From today on, I am the third Hokage of Konoha. The future of Konoha is in my hands!"

There was a burst of cheers afterwards. The loudest cheers came from the Uchiha clan, of course. The Hyuga clan also cheered loudly. The faces of the Senju clan were miserable, and they barely clapped their hands to show their respect for Uchiha Nan, the new Hokage.

The top leaders of each family were all present. Uchiha Nan stood on the stage and noticed that Uzumaki Mito was missing. He guessed that the wound on his face had not healed yet.

The succession ceremony lasted all morning, and in the afternoon, the first meeting after Uchiha Nan became Hokage was officially held!
In the conference room, Uchiha Nan sat in the center, Uchiha Tomita sat on his left, Senju Momoma sat on his right, and the other families sat down according to their strength.

"Today is my first day as Hokage. Konoha is in a state of disrepair. You can speak freely at the meeting and talk about your views on the development of Konoha."

Uchiha Nan decided to open up the channels of communication and listen to the opinions of the local bosses in Konoha first.

"Hokage-sama, let's put aside the matter of building Konoha for now and talk about the debt issue."

Senju Momomama had a serious look on his face and didn't even smile at Uchiha Nan. He looked very businesslike.

He pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which recorded the debts that Konoha owed to the Senju clan. The various strategic resources alone amounted to 8 million taels, more than twice that of the Uchiha clan.

This is not all. The Senju clan also compensated the members of Konoha who died in battle. 312 Genin died, 158 Chuunin died, and 48 Jonin died.

According to Konoha's regulations, the pension for an ordinary Genin is around 30 to 50 taels, while that for a Chunin is a step up to 80 to 100 taels. The life of a Jonin is extremely expensive, reaching 300 to 500 taels, with the amount fluctuating depending on meritorious service.

Even according to the lowest compensation standard, the compensation would be close to 3 million taels. The Senju family alone owed 15 billion taels to the Konoha treasury.

Tobirama Senju is the Hokage of Konoha. As the Hokage's family, it is natural for them to contribute to Konoha. The price they paid was naturally the highest in Konoha, and they almost threw in half of their family fortune.

Konoha's finances have become a mess, it's unbearable to even look at them. If Tobirama Senju was still the Hokage, the Senju clan could still tolerate it, but now that Uchiha Nan is in charge, the Senju clan can't lose a penny! "So much?"

Uchiha Nan was overwhelmed when he saw this astronomical figure.

The starting price for an elite jonin to perform an S-level mission is 100 million taels. This debt is equivalent to asking Uchiha Nan to do extremely dangerous S-level missions thousands of times.

What an astronomical figure!!!
Senju Momorama took out a file bag, which contained various IOUs with Senju Tobirama's seal on them.

"If you don't believe me, Hokage, you can check the accounts!"

Uchiha Nan was looking through the IOU, his brows furrowed.

"Hokage, in fact, Konoha's financial debt to Hyuga is more than 8 million taels. The specific details are as follows."

Hinata Takuma was sitting in the audience, feeling a little embarrassed since Senju Momoma had asked for the debt.

For the benefit of Hinata, Hinata Takuma naturally has to stand up and speak for Hinata. Friendship is money, and money is money!
Not a penny less!

Since two of Konoha's top wealthy families asked for repayment, the remaining ninja clans naturally could not be so polite. They originally wanted to be coy and polite and talk to Uchiha Nan in private.

In that case, there is no need to hide it. There is a tall guy in the front anyway, so if Uchiha Nan wants to blame anyone, it can't be blamed on them all.

Uchiha Nan's eyes were already red. The total debts were about 110 billion, but Konoha's finances were simply disastrous, all in deficit!

"All right!"

"I'll take care of these accounts!"

Uchiha Nan gritted his teeth and looked at Senju Momorama fiercely. He got himself into big trouble on the first day of the meeting.

Senju Momomama was looking at his nose and his heart, without even looking at Uchiha Nan. He was still thinking about how to start the experiment on his father Hashirama's cells as soon as the money arrived.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Uchiha Nan was too lazy to argue with these money-hungry bastards and just adjourned the meeting. His first meeting ended in a bad mood, which dealt a huge blow to Uchiha Nan's ambitions.

Hokage's Office

Uchiha Nan, exhausted, lay on the chair.

"What's going on?"

"How can I pay back so much money?"

Uchiha Tomita, who was standing nearby, looked at Uchiha Nan's melancholy look and quickly stood up to remind him:
"Don't forget, Lord Uchiha Kusunoki, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has promised to provide financial assistance to Konoha. This is a huge sum of money!"

"yes!!!"

Uchiha Nan slammed the table with his hands. He was so shocked by the astronomical figures just now that he forgot about this.

We must set off quickly!
