Chapter 97: Mito, shut up! I won't let you slander Uchiha Kusunoki!
"Hokage-sama, my 500 million ryo"
Uzumaki Reed couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Uchiha Nan with an expression of disbelief. The numbers she was muttering were all wrong.
"Five hundred million taels?"
"Five billion taels!"
"Hokage-sama, you are giving me a surprise today, right!"
After receiving Uchiha Nan's affirmation again, Uzumaki Reed began to feel dizzy and her legs became weak for some reason.
Is this what it feels like to have an older brother leading you?
It’s so cool!
"Hokage-sama, I, the Uzumaki clan, and Konoha will live and die together."
Uzumaki Reed excitedly said a lot of things, such as Konoha will always be the eldest brother of the Uzumaki clan, and they will always be loyal to each other and never leave each other.
"Reed-kun, the friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan has stood the test of time. This little money is nothing. Konoha has always been generous to its brothers!"
Uzumaki Reed nodded continuously, and her favorability towards Konoha's new Hokage, Uchiha Nan, soared rapidly.
Look at how generous the current Hokage is. Five billion taels is a small amount of money. Even when Hashirama Senju was the Hokage of Konoha, he was not that generous to the Uzumaki clan.
Who said that the Uchiha were unkind, aloof and difficult to get close to?
Rumors are all rumors!
Uchiha Nan looked at Uzumaki Reed's reaction with satisfaction. If you want to take something, you must give it first.
Uzumaki Reed wanted assistance, but Uchiha Nan was targeting the entire Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan is worth much more than a mere 5 billion taels.
The money was there, and the relationship was there. Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Reed were chatting happily, and Uzumaki Reed took the initiative to get close to Uchiha Nan.
Twenty years ago, the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan could talk about all the old stories. It was said that when Hashirama Senju got married, the then Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Madara had some unpleasant things with the Senju clan because of Uzumaki Mito.
Uzumaki Asami raised this matter of course not to provoke the Uchiha clan. Instead, she sighed that if Uzumaki Mito had a younger sister, she could have married the Uchiha clan and the relationship between the three families would have been much improved.
Uchiha Nan nodded with a smile on his face and didn't say much, but he was already complaining in his heart.
Confused!
Uzumaki Mito is the mistress. If Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were a man and a woman, the plot of the Naruto world would have ended directly.
Apparently, Uzumaki Rushi, the old hand, still believed that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama broke up because of Uzumaki Mito.
After reminiscing about the past, Uzumaki Reed talked about the present. During the First Ninja World War, Konoha and the Uzumaki clan had a comradeship when they fought side by side. There was also the recent situation of the Uzumaki clan, and the recent development of Konoha, which was really frustrating. When Uzumaki Reed said this, his face was obviously much darker.
Konoha's development has reached a speed that the Uzumaki clan could not imagine.
The last time Uzumaki Ashiya and Senju Tobirama exchanged letters, Senju Tobirama described Konoha's people's livelihood as dire and heavily in debt.
Later, the Hokage died and Konoha experienced the crisis of internal strife. After that, Konoha experienced wars with the Iwagakure Village and the Mist Village.
In the First Ninja World War, Konoha almost single-handedly fought against the other four major ninja villages in the Ninja World.
No matter how you think about it, Konoha's situation is now similar to that of the Uzumaki clan. They can only maintain the normal operation of the village with difficulty. It will take at least one or two years to recover.
But now Konoha doesn't look like it has experienced war at all, the whole village is full of vitality.
Even though Konoha has a super financial patron, the Land of Fire, behind it, it is impossible for it to recover so quickly. All this must be related to the Third Hokage in front of them!
When Tobirama Senju was in power, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire also provided financial assistance to Konoha, but they were still so poor that they had to cry poor to the Uzumaki clan. Now, Konoha has not only escaped the shadow of war, but also has the spare capacity to provide great assistance to the Uzumaki clan, with a single donation of 5 billion ryo.
The current Sandaime Hokage is a capable man!
While Uzumaki Reed was chatting with Uchiha Nan, her mind was working furiously and her eyes looked at Uchiha Nan more and more passionately.
At the beginning, Hashirama Senju was the son-in-law of the Uzumaki clan, and Tobirama Senju was Hashirama Senju's younger brother. Both of them are relatives of the Uzumaki clan. Now the Uchiha is in power in Konoha, and Uchiha Nan is still a tough guy who fell from the sky.
The relationship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan is very good, but the small ninja village has its own way of survival. In addition to the necessary friendly relations and interest binding, marriage is naturally the best bond.
Uzumaki Aoi thinks the Uzumaki clan should become closer to the Uchiha clan
If the wives of all the successive Hokage of Konoha were from the Uzumaki clan, then the Uzumaki clan could really rest easy.
Uchiha Nan was so focused on thinking about how to properly relocate the Uzumaki clan to Konoha that he didn't realize that another pimp was thinking of sending him a little girl.
"Reed-kun, the ninja school in Konoha will open soon. Are you interested in sending some outstanding juniors of the Uzumaki clan to Konoha for further study?"
Uchiha Nan thought about it and decided to start cultivating from seedlings.
As long as the Uzumaki clan sent people over, Uchiha Nan had the confidence that he could keep all of them in Konoha.
Give the young people of the Uzumaki clan favorable living conditions, high-paying jobs, and a little ideological education. In the future, the members of the Uzumaki clan will actively want to join Konoha, and even return to the Uzumaki clan to publicize Konoha's favorable policies and immigrate to Konoha with their families.
The relationship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan is so good that they are as close as brothers. I'm sure Uzumaki Ashiya will not refuse.
This is how America attracted elite talents from all over the world.
Uchiha Nan popularized the concept of exchange students to Uzumaki Aoi. Konoha is the most advanced and powerful ninja village in the entire ninja world, with the best teaching staff and teaching environment.
The Uzumaki clan and Konoha are brothers. Now the Uzumaki clan is not good at anything, so it would be better to train the outstanding young people in Konoha. After they become excellent ninjas, they can return to the Uzumaki clan to shine.
The rich first will lead the poor later. With Konoha's advanced experience, the ninjas trained in Konoha will surely become the backbone of the Uzumaki clan after returning to the Uzumaki clan. The future of the Uzumaki clan is limitless.
"Reed-kun, I know that the Uzumaki clan is in a very difficult situation right now. As a good brother of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha will definitely help them to the end."
"Don't worry, Konoha will cover all the tuition, living expenses, and training resources for the Uzumaki clan members who come to Konoha for further studies!"
Uchiha Nan's skill in drawing cakes was as good as ever, and Uzumaki Reed was soon tempted by the blueprint drawn by Uchiha Nan.
Lord Uchiha Nan is such a good person!
"Hokage-sama, is this true?"
Whirlpool Reed felt as if he was floating in the air. Today's surprises one after another made him dizzy.
"of course it's true!"
"Konoha has always regarded the Uzumaki clan as its own people. What is the difference between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha's ninjas?"
Uchiha Nan's firm reply moved Uzumaki Aoi beyond words; these words made her feel warm at heart.
Soon, Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Reed decided on a general action plan. The process was actually very simple. They just had to report the names of the outstanding young people of the Uzumaki clan, and then choose an auspicious day to send the people over.
Uzumaki Reed was still hesitating whether some children whose talents were not particularly outstanding were qualified to come to Konoha as exchange students. After all, Uchiha Nan had just said that they would admit students based on merit.
Konoha has been very kind, and Uzumaki Reed feels that she cannot be too greedy, and should try her best to select children with outstanding talents to come to Konoha, so as not to waste Konoha's precious resources.
In response to Uzumaki Reed's hesitation, Uchiha Nan simply waved his hand. The waving was not a refusal, but a reminder that there was no need to say more.
Uzumaki Reed, even if you empty out the entire Uzumaki clan and send them to Konoha today, Konoha will be able to eat them all!
"Lord Nan, I... No words can express how I feel right now." Uzumaki Aoi no longer called him Hokage-sama, but directly called him Uchiha Nan's name to show closeness. Even when the Senju Hashirama brothers were in power, they did not treat the Uzumaki clan so well!
If the age difference wasn't so huge, Uzumaki Reed would have liked to kowtow to Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan patted Uzumaki Reed on the shoulder, indicating that this was what he should do.
After everything was negotiated, Uzumaki Reed suddenly mentioned Uzumaki Yangyue.
This time, Uzumaki Ashiya brought Uzumaki Yogetsu here to test whether she was qualified to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
This was the original agreement between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki clan, who possessed superb sealing techniques and strong physiques, were most suitable to become the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki.
Uzumaki Yangyue's talent is considered to be top-notch in the Uzumaki clan, and his practice of sealing techniques is far beyond that of his peers.
Uchiha Nan looked at Uzumaki Yotsuki and knew that the story line of the Naruto world had been completely disrupted by him. In the original plot, the selection of the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would have to wait for more than ten years.
Therefore, Uchiha Nan was not concerned about this matter, because Uzumaki Mito could still live for more than ten years. This little girl named Uzumaki Yotsuki could at least enjoy a normal life for more than ten years.
What's more, Uchiha Nan felt that in a dozen years, he would definitely be able to complete one or two tasks with gold rewards and easily become the second Uchiha Madara.
At that time, why would we need the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? We could just release the Nine-Tails as a mount.
While Uchiha Nan was daydreaming there, Uzumaki Reed had already started talking nonstop about Uzumaki Yangyue.
Uzumaki Reed first praised Uzumaki Yotsuki's talent and superb sealing skills. Gradually, Uzumaki Reed began to inadvertently reveal Uzumaki Yotsuki's personality, hobbies, and...
"Yang Yue has admired the Hokage-sama for a long time. What she likes most is strength."
"."
The topic gradually went off track
Uchiha Nan could see that this was another old Deng who liked to pimp!
Uchiha Nan avoided the topic in time. Once he took the lead and accepted Uzumaki Rushi's kindness, Hinata Takuma would definitely not be left behind. Uchiha Nan didn't want to have so many women in his house that they could form a mahjong table.
In an inexplicable atmosphere, Uchiha Nan ended his communication with Uzumaki Aoi on this matter.
Uzumaki Ashiya then invited Uchiha Nan to meet Uzumaki Mito together. As the matter was about the selection of the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Nan, the Hokage, had to be present to take control of the overall situation.
Thousand Hands Clan Land
"Brother Reed?"
When Uzumaki Mito saw Uzumaki Rei coming, he was immediately overjoyed.
Uzumaki Reed is a little older than Uzumaki Mito, and they are cousins. Uzumaki Reed always took care of Uzumaki Mito when they were young.
"Mito."
After a touching family reunion, Uzumaki Ashiya talked business to Uzumaki Mito and wanted Uzumaki Mito to test whether Uzumaki Yotsuki was qualified to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Uzumaki Mito ignored Uchiha Nan who was standing aside and walked straight towards Uzumaki Yogetsu.
Uzumaki Mito couldn't help feeling disgusted when she saw Uchiha Nan.
The total box office of Konoha Publishing's first movie was released a few days ago, and it was slightly higher than expected. The net profit this time was close to 700 million.
For this good news, Uchiha Nan couldn't wait to hold a celebration meeting and specially invited Uzumaki Mito to attend.
Uzumaki Mito had a gloomy face the whole time and didn't say a word.
Another big loss, Uzumaki Mito is so regretful
If Uzumaki Mito had chosen 1% of the pure profit, Tsunade's pay this time would have been as high as 7 million taels, which was equivalent to the price of the Nine-Tails Chakra that Uzumaki Mito had sold for more than a year.
Uzumaki Mito doesn't care about money at all. It's not a small number. Uzumaki Mito didn't make any money and didn't get his face back. He is already sad enough.
Uchiha Nan also teased her in front of Uzumaki Mito.
"If God gave you another chance, would you still choose half a million?"
"boom!"
Faced with Uchiha Nan's close taunting, Uzumaki Mito smashed a table and left angrily.
"Good boy this is going to be a little painful."
Uzumaki Mito touched Uzumaki Yotsuki's red hair with pity, and a determined expression appeared on Uzumaki Yotsuki's tender little face.
A long time ago, Uzumaki Ashiya had already told Uzumaki Yotsuki about the Nine-Tails and the mission she might have to undertake in the future, to become the container of the tailed beast and become Konoha's ultimate weapon, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
A stream of yellow Nine-Tails chakra flowed into Uzumaki Yotsuki's body, and an indescribable negative emotion surged into his heart.
The Nine-Tails Chakra was still eroding Uzumaki Yogetsu's skin, but soon Uzumaki Yogetsu used sealing techniques to suppress the Nine-Tails Chakra.
Uzumaki Mito gave a wry smile, this child passed the test.
She was very clear about her fate of becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Without her own transcendent identity, she would be nothing more than a human weapon in Konoha.
Uzumaki Ashiya's heart is equally complicated. The Uzumaki clan has fulfilled its promise with Konoha, but it is such a cruel fate that all the burdens have to be placed on a little girl.
If Uzumaki Yotsuki can replicate the story of Uzumaki Mito, Uzumaki Reed has not given up the idea of being a pimp. This time, it is not only for the Uzumaki clan, but also for the future of Uzumaki Yotsuki.
“Lord Nan, since Yang Yue has passed the test, why not let her stay with you.
"Ok?"
Uchiha Nan widened his eyes and said, "You old man, are you still coveting my body?"
Uzumaki Mito who was standing by got furious when he heard this. Uchiha Kusunoki's reputation as a lecherous man had spread throughout Konoha. Everyone knew that Uchiha Kusunoki went to the daimyo and brought back a pair of twin toys.
Putting such a cute girl like Uzumaki Yotsuki next to Uchiha Nan is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
More importantly, Uchiha Nan, a despicable man with no bottom line or moral integrity, will definitely lead Yang Yue astray.
"impossible!"
"The child Yang Yue must not be handed over to the bastard Uchiha Nan!"
Uzumaki Mito immediately started to curse, and all the memories of his past conflicts with Uchiha Nan came flooding back to him. He deliberately beat himself up and tricked him into signing a low-price contract.
"Shut up, Mito!"
"I won't allow you to slander Lord Nan's reputation!"
Uzumaki Reed interrupted Uzumaki Mito with great momentum.
