Chapter 96: The Uzumaki clan, the poor relatives came to visit.

"It's wrong"

"Let me go, you untouchables!!"

"I'm going to sue the Daming! I'm going to sue the Daming!!"

A big shot from the Fire Nation had his clothes torn off by the police and was screaming and shouting wildly. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was already put into a prison van.

Teams of servants began to go in and out of his house, each pushing a cart, and each cart was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and treasures.

The ninjas of Konoha mixed in with the officers and assisted them in ransacking the house.

Originally, Uchiha Nan wanted to take over the entire house-raiding operation and send out Konoha's ninjas to conduct a large-scale house-raiding sweep, but unfortunately the daimyo refused to agree.

Konoha has already touched the bottom line between the Fire Country and Konoha, and the Daimyo cannot continue to let Konoha interfere in the internal affairs of the Fire Country.

However, Uchiha Nan was not confident in the daimyo, and even less confident in the people under the daimyo's command.

The information Konoha collected in the past was not comprehensive, especially the information about the insects' assets. It was possible to underestimate it, not overestimate it.

The insects' assets must be much more than 60 billion taels, and Uchiha Nan would never let himself suffer any loss.

What's more, when the property was searched, the silver was piled up like a mountain, and greed would arise in the hearts of even the most upright people, not to mention these insects whose hands were not clean to begin with.

70% of this money belongs to Konoha!

After some "friendly negotiations", the daimyo agreed to Uchiha Nan's request and allowed Konoha to participate in the house-raiding operation.

The house-raiding campaign lasted for three days, and as for those insects, their entire families were executed. This massive political turmoil shook the entire political arena of the Fire Nation's capital.

At this time, no one was paying attention to the little things that happened in Konoha's past.

The rabbit dies and the fox mourns.
In the past, big shots who were as arrogant as them had their families destroyed in just three days, and the wealth accumulated by more than ten generations was looted.

It’s not that no one has gone to the daimyo to plead for mercy. Faced with these princes and ministers who came to plead for mercy, the daimyo simply threw the charges collected by Konoha in front of them.

There was evidence from both human and physical witnesses, and there was nothing they could deny. The daimyo's cold eyes and warning words made the remaining insects tremble, as if the daimyo still had a lot of evidence against them in his hands.

They can’t be saved, they can’t be saved. They have to fend for themselves.

Not long after, the smart ones among the insects were horrified to find that the bigwigs who were being executed were all the people who had been most active in impeaching Konoha in recent days.

The truth is revealed. Konoha has taken action. The means they use to conceal their dirty deeds may be able to hide them from ordinary people, but they are simply showing off their skills in front of ninjas. A simple illusion can make them vomit everything.

The pleasure-seeking nobles of the Land of Fire finally remembered that they were ordinary people. They all took the initiative to ignore Konoha's various acts of usurpation and acted like good boys.

They had secretly sent people to surrender to Konoha and each presented valuable gifts as an apology.

Konoha
"What a bunch of bastards"

"You can't live a peaceful life, but you have to bring trouble upon Konoha."

Uchiha Nan was sitting in his office, in front of him was a retainer of a powerful Fire Country noble.

Even though Uchiha Nan openly mocked his master in front of him, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. The recent political earthquake in the capital almost scared this group of people to death.

The blood of the beheaded bigwigs was still flowing in the vegetable market. Their status was more noble than that of their masters, and their entire families were all beheaded. How could he and his master dare to have the slightest temper? It was considered good enough that they could keep their lives.

Uchiha Nan chatted with these people for a few words and then told them to leave. If it weren't for the gifts, Uchiha Nan really would not have even met them.

However, this group of people were really generous. The value of the compensation received by Konoha in these days has exceeded 1 billion taels, and even Uchiha Nan did not count the gifts that the insects gave him privately.

These insects are really rich!
Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly that the class stratification in the ninja world was so serious that it was outrageous. They had been doing business for more than a dozen generations, not just three generations.

Compared to this group of insects, Konoha is just a pauper, a pauper who possesses the most powerful military force of the Fire Country.

What kind of poor days did we live in the past?
Suddenly, the door of Uchiha Nan's house was pushed open, and Kakuzu rushed in directly, with a gleam in his eyes, like a hungry wolf that had been hungry for months.

"Hokage-sama, don't hesitate. Lead Konoha to charge and kill all those nobles. I, Kakuzu, will lead the charge!"

"Kill them!!"

"Kunai in hand, follow me!"

Kakuzu has been clearing up the accounts these days, and the constant flow of money makes Kakuzu excited all over.

He knew that the nobles were rich, but he didn't expect them to be so rich. After following Uchiha Nan for a long time, his previously rigid thinking was suddenly opened up.

What kind of task is it? It’s better to make money faster by eating from the big guys!
"Just be patient, their money will belong to Konoha sooner or later."

Uchiha Nan tried to comfort Kakuzu. This guy's eyes had turned green. Although his eyes were originally green, now was not the time to turn against the Fire Nation. Just let them be quiet for a while.

In the end, Kakuzu left Uchiha Nan's office with reluctance.

Not long after Kakuzu left, Nara Shikato walked into the office.

"Hokage-sama, the Uzumaki clan is sending people to Konoha."

"I'm afraid they are here to seek help. During the First Shinobi World War, the Uzumaki clan helped Konoha a lot. Their recent situation is not very good."

"."

Nara Shikaon recounted the situation of the Uzumaki clan.

It is an island country, a small country with few people, no money, no people, no food, and lacks everything.

In name it is a country with an Uzumaki Village, but in fact there is only one Uzumaki clan on the island. The so-called country is purely a self-contained territory.

In order to help Konoha win the first Ninja World War, all the property accumulated by the Uzumaki clan over the years was burned.

It's a poor relative coming to visit.
A few days later

The Uzumaki clan soon arrived at Konoha
“So big and impressive.”

"Master Patriarch, is Konoha so prosperous?"

Uzumaki Yayoi seems like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

The development of Konoha is like driving a car on the highway. In just a few months, Konoha has changed its appearance.

The biggest change was naturally in Konoha's transportation. Uchiha Nan ordered that all the walls around the roads be torn down, and Konoha's roads be expanded and rebuilt with new cement.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Uchiha Nan firmly practices this concept, and facts have proved that this truth is correct.

The widening of the road has greatly accelerated Konoha's commercial trade. The spacious and clean concrete roads are filled with merchants from various countries coming to Konoha to conduct commercial trade.

The busy streets, pedestrians coming and going, and the constant hawking outside the shops can be heard.

"Konoha has indeed changed a lot."

"incredible"

Whirlpool Reed blinked his eyes, not knowing what to say, and just looked around.

"Master Patriarch, didn't you say that Konoha's current situation is not optimistic?"

Uzumaki Reed ignored Uzumaki Yayoi. How could he know how Konoha had become like this?

The last time he communicated with the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Senju Tobirama was still complaining about Konoha's financial pressure in the letter and was still waiting for financial support from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

A few months ago, Uzumaki Reed had thought about asking Konoha for help. But it was because Senju Tobirama had said such a bad thing about Konoha in his letter that Uzumaki Reed was too embarrassed to mention it.

But the Uzumaki clan really can't hold on any longer. Even if they don't want to trouble Konoha anymore, they have to come to Konoha for help.

"Grandpa, it smells so good."

Uzumaki Yangyue pointed to a tea shop, and the aroma of the tea shop instantly attracted the thirteen-year-old girl.

After traveling across the ocean to Konoha, he was exhausted from the journey and had no food in his stomach. The aroma of milk tea instantly captured Uzumaki Yangyue.

“Then give it a try.”

Uzumaki Reed touched Uzumaki Yotsuki's hair, revealing a loving look. This time, Uzumaki Yotsuki came to Konoha with a mission, and I just hope she doesn't meet the conditions.
"How much is this cup?"

The waiter said a number, which made Uzumaki Reed frown. This cup of milk tea is damn expensive!

“Buy a cup.”

For the sake of the children, it’s okay to be a little more expensive.

"Chief, what about me?"

"You're a grown man, and you still want me to pay for you when you come out?"

“Buy it yourself!”

Uzumaki Reed glanced at Uzumaki Yayoi with disdain and paid the bill on her own.

What exactly happened in Konoha? The changes were so great.

Uzumaki Reed walked down the street, observing every plant and tree in Konoha, which was filled with vitality from top to bottom.

The Uzushinobi Village was still desolate, still immersed in the shadow of war.
Uzumaki Reed couldn't figure out why Konoha Village had become so prosperous.

Just don’t think about it anymore!

The Uzumaki clan is finally getting better!

Now that Konoha has become prosperous, how can it forget about the Uzumaki clan?

The big brother of Konoha stood up and started drinking wine and eating meat in big mouthfuls.

It is not easy for the Uzumaki clan, as the younger brother, to sit at the table and eat a few bites with the big brother!

Originally, Uzumaki Reed was on his way to Konoha, still feeling uneasy. He thought that if Konoha was not rich, he could just provide some food support and not bother Konoha with anything else.

In Uzumaki Aoi's best case scenario, he could only get a few billion taels back from Konoha.

"Stop it, you bastard!"

"Hey, you bastard, why did you tear the cup open and just pick it with your hands?"

Walking not far from the Hokage building, Uzumaki Reed straightened her clothes. She was about to meet the Third Hokage of Konoha. As a poor younger brother meeting a rich older brother, he had to pay attention to etiquette no matter what.

I didn't expect that Uzumaki Yayoi was such a coward. He just tore the cup open and used his hands to pick out the black beads stuck together inside the cup and ate them.

"Chief, this is delicious. This is called Black Pearl."

"Yang Yue, are you right?"

Uzumaki Yangyue nodded and continued to drink in small sips, chewing the pearls in his mouth. They were soft, tender, smooth and sweet.

"You're a loser!"

Uzumaki Reed rolled her eyes at Uzumaki Yayoi and urged her to finish eating quickly and clean her sticky hands.

Hokage Building
"Lord Reed, why didn't you send someone to notify us in advance when you arrived? Konoha has prepared a grand welcome ceremony."

Nara Shikato looked at Uzumaki Rei and his group with some surprise. How come they arrived two days earlier than the intelligence said?

"Lu Yuan-kun, Konoha and the Uzumaki clan are one family. There is no need for a welcome ceremony. It just so happened that there was a favorable wind on the sea when we arrived, so the ship was much faster."

"Lord Reed, please do not think that Konoha's hospitality is poor."

Nara Shikaon said kindly that the entire Konoha has a very high favorable impression of the Uzumaki clan.

This is a younger brother who truly regards Konoha as a good big brother.

When the younger brother comes, as an older brother, it is natural for him to entertain him well.

"Hokage-sama, is it convenient for you to see us now?"

The smile on Uzumaki Reed's face was a little restrained. In the past, the Hokage of Konoha had always been a member of the Senju clan. The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan had been friendly for generations, and Senju Hashirama was the son-in-law of the Uzumaki clan, which directly strengthened the relationship.

The second-generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, is the younger brother of Senju Hashirama, and is also a relative of the Uzumaki clan, and they still get along very happily.

But things are different now. The Hokage of Konoha has become a member of the Uchiha clan, and the relationship between the Uchiha and the Uzumaki clan is no longer normal.

This was the first time that Uzumaki Ashiya met the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, and she was still a little nervous.

"Of course there is time!"

Nara Shikaon answered with great confidence. Uchiha Nan was a hands-off boss who spent much more time slacking off than working. He should still be slacking off in the office now.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, Mr. Reed!"

"."

When Uchiha Nan heard that the Uzumaki clan had arrived, he quickly asked someone to invite them in and also had three sofas moved in.

Uzumaki Reed, Uzumaki Yayoi, and Uzumaki Haruzuki each sat on the sofa somewhat stiffly, somewhat surprised at Uchiha Nan's office environment.

Luxurious, too luxurious.

The spacious room is decorated in warm colors. The bright electric light is on the roof. It is winter, but the room is warm. There are two potted plants on the desk.
Milk tea, cola, ice cream, cream puffs, cream cakes
The coffee table was filled with various desserts. Uchiha Nan only liked to drink ice cola, as for other desserts, the two little ones, Feng and Ling, liked to eat them, so Uchiha Nan asked people to buy them and prepare them every day.

Is this in the office?
This is clearly for enjoyment!

It looks delicious.
Uzumaki Yayoi was already hungry, and just when she was about to take one to taste it, she was forced back by Uzumaki Reed's death gaze.

Uzumaki Yangyue swallowed her saliva. Girls have no resistance to beautiful and delicious desserts.

"A little snack, everyone, please try it."

Uchiha Nan noticed their reservedness and took the initiative to take an ice cream cone and started eating.

The three of them then relaxed a little and started to make desserts on the table.

The sea is vast, and eating fish every day makes me sick. Rice balls are considered a good food.

Desserts are already a delicacy they cannot enjoy!
"cough cough"

Uzumaki Reed tried to save his image. He was able to enjoy the food slowly and methodically. Uzumaki Yayoi ate one piece of cake in one bite. His mouth was full. When he could hardly swallow any more food, he took a big gulp of milk tea.

Uzumaki Yangyue had the reserve of a little girl and ate the cake in small bites.

Uzumaki Reed looked at Uchiha Nan a little embarrassedly.

Uchiha Nan just smiled and didn't care about this. He was aware of the situation of the Uzumaki clan. They were already short of food, and Uchiha Nan was waiting for the Uzumaki clan to come to Konoha and ask for help.

After some greetings, Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Aoi went to another room, where they were going to talk about business.

"Hokage-sama, the Uzumaki clan is not in a good situation recently."

Uzumaki Reed sighed and recounted the situation of the Uzumaki clan.

"The Uzumaki clan and Konoha are one family. Konoha will not stand by and watch the Uzumaki clan suffer."

Uchiha Nan was very considerate and continued what Uzumaki Reed said. It was really a relief to let Uzumaki Reed take the initiative to ask for money.
"How much support do the Uzumaki clan want from Konoha? Give me a number."

Uchiha Nan said very proudly.

"Five hundred and five hundred million taels?"

Uzumaki Reed tentatively said a number, which was not too high. This number was enough for the Uzumaki clan to overcome the difficulties.

"Five hundred million taels?"

Uchiha Nan's voice rose an octave, causing Uzumaki Reed to change his expression.

"Four hundred million, actually."

"Reed-kun, do you look down on Konoha?"

"Five billion taels!"
