Chapter 123: Lord Uchiha Madara, stop smoking, I’m scared!
"The rarest card is Uchiha Madara-sama. There are only a few cards that have appeared so far. I remember the last time it appeared was a week ago. Hmm... Let me think about it. It's a ninja from the Uchiha clan. I bought more than a hundred packs at one time to draw it. I'm so envious!"

Ito Sosuke recalled the last time Uchiha Madara's card appeared. That scene was so lively. The moment the card was opened, he became the object of admiration and envy among the students of the Ninja School.
The money power is so terrifying!
On the one hand, it is to satisfy one's own competitive spirit, and on the other hand, as long as all the cards are collected, one can meet Uchiha Nan and get his autograph.

The rich young ninjas don't lack money at all. Some lucky ones get a rare card and buy it at a high price.
Which student in the Ninja School does not worship the great Sandaime Hokage?
"I wish I could draw Uchiha Madara's card."

Ito Sosuke's tone was filled with expectation. As long as he drew Uchiha Madara's card, he would definitely be able to sell it at a high price.
He knew very well that he had no hope of collecting all the cards, but if he could draw the rarest card and sell it for a good price, it would definitely relieve his mother's pressure. Life as a single mother and a widow with orphans has always been very hard. The pressure of the mortgage is both the hope for the future and a mountain that makes people breathless.

But even so, Ito Sosuke didn't think of spending his hard-earned money on drawing cards. He didn't believe that he would be so rich that he could get it in one go.

"Do you really want to draw Uchiha Madara's card?"

Uchiha Madara was filled with joy, and the smile on his face could hardly be suppressed. Even though it was just the admiration of a child, it was really cool!

"Yeah, if I could win the lottery and sell my mom, she wouldn't have to work so hard."

Uchiha Madara had already figured out Ito Sosuke's family situation clearly yesterday, and he understood Ito Sosuke's thoughts very well, after all, he was a child from a poor family.

It's time for me to take action!

Eating a meal for a child, even though it's just a meal, I, Uchiha Madara, don't like to owe favors to children.

"Then let me try!"

"Uncle... I think I'd better not buy it. It really requires luck. It's very expensive to buy a pack!!"

Ito Sosuke really didn't want Uchiha Madara to fall into the trap of the card drawing game. Drawing cards with paid cards is a game for rich people, and poor people like them should just watch the fun from the sidelines.

"Don't underestimate me... I'm an Uchiha, ahem. I was a very powerful ninja when I was young!"

After Uchiha Madara finished speaking, he walked forward confidently, took out the little money he had left, and bought a pack to test the waters.

"Look at me!"

"It's the Shodaime-sama again!!"

"Knew it"

Ito Sosuke felt a little disappointed. Although he had expected this result, he still had a faint expectation in his heart. What if... this overwhelming wealth might fall on his head?
"Hmph, come again!"

"It's the Shodaime again."

"Come again!"

"The First Lord"

"I don't believe it anymore!"

"It's better this time, Nidaime-sama!"

"Senju Tobirama is unlucky, even worse than Hashirama."

"continue!!"

"First Generation"

"Ichibi. First generation. Second generation."

In just a few minutes, Uchiha Madara drew more than 20 packs, and without exception, they were all cards of low value. Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama occupied the vast majority of the rare cards such as the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails, and he didn't even draw out a single one of his own cards.

"Uncle, stop smoking, I'm scared!"

Uchiha Madara hasn't given up yet. This is how it is when it comes to spending money to draw cards. He won't give up until all his money is spent. What's more, Uchiha Madara's money was robbed, so he doesn't care about these material things. But Ito Sosuke is really scared. This is simply a waste of money. No matter how you look at it, Uchiha Madara doesn't look like he is very rich.

"Hmph, come again"

Uchiha Madara didn't take Ito Sosuke's words seriously. He wanted to draw his own card to show off in front of the kid. Ahem, help Ito Sosuke solve his family difficulties.
After smoking more than ten packs, Uchiha Madara still looked like a loser and didn't smoke anything.

Ito Sosuke was anxious on the side, but soon he didn't have to worry anymore because his lunch break was over and there was no point in being anxious.

"Uncle, please stop smoking. How can you still be so stubborn at your age?"

"Showing off? I am..."

"Little boy, hurry up and go to school. I will definitely draw the rarest card today!"

Uchiha Madara's mentality has exploded. The last time he encountered such a difficult situation that left him helpless was when he was beaten by the wooden man of Senju Hashirama.
Besides, Uchiha Madara doesn't have much money left. He originally planned to keep it for his food and accommodation in Konoha during this period. If he hasn't withdrawn the money yet, he will really have to send his clone to Changjin to take some bounty missions. If he goes to experience life and work in a factory at this time, maybe it's God's will.

Uchiha Madara sent Ito Sosuke away, and made up his mind to go all in! !
If you lose, you go to work in a factory. If you win... well... you just go to work in a factory too... This card was originally intended for that little brat Ito Sosuke.

in the afternoon
Hokage Building
Uchiha Nan was yawning, looking a little listless. After waking up, he fought for another whole afternoon. Fighting one against two was ultimately a disadvantage.

This damn ninja world, no matter how strong the ninja is, the gap between their physical fitness and that of ordinary people is too bad. There are only cows that are tired from plowing the land in this world, and there is no land that can be plowed. Let's take a break for now and go for a walk outside. Just go to the Hokage building to clock in. As a Hokage, it is not good to be absent from work for a whole day.

I'll have a fight to the death with both of them tonight!

Uchiha Nan approached the Hokage Building. The ninjas who were working as part-time workers in the Hokage Building showed surprise in their eyes when they saw Uchiha Nan.

Lord Hokage actually punched in for work today. It's not that Lord Hokage was obsessed with beauty today. Ahem, it was for Konoha...which resulted in his body being exhausted and he had to miss a day of work.

"Hokage-sama, you are here?" "Lu Yuan, I am the Hokage, what do you mean I am here?"

Uchiha Nan was somewhat dissatisfied. Although he liked to slack off and be lazy, he often left work early and took the two sisters shopping and booked a hotel room. He was looking for excitement and then was late the next morning, or even absent from work for half a day, coming to work in the afternoon or sometimes not coming to work at all. But your surprised expression was too hurtful.

Is Uchiha Nan an incompetent Hokage?

This is how the world is governed by ease, and the world is at peace!

Nara Shikaon had sweat on his forehead, it was well known in Konoha that the Hokage had a messy private life, and everyone in Konoha's upper echelons knew about it. Uchiha Kusunoki's family had twin sisters, one was sent by the Uzumaki clan, and another by the Hyuga clan. There were even rumors that the Hokage had opened an impart.

Five people. Ahem, of course this is... Gossip about big shots always spreads very quickly and is outrageous.
"Ms. Chiyo, you have been waiting for Hokage-sama in the office for a long time. Kakuzu came to see you today and met Miss Chiyo when he was signing."

"Miss Chiyo became very nervous after Kakuzu and she chatted for a while. I'm afraid Kakuzu and Chiyo discussed some business transactions between the two villages."

Nara Shikaon immediately chose to change the subject. He certainly didn't know about the scandals and rumors about Uchiha Kusunoki. Even for powerful people, information cocoons exist, and the ninjas responsible for collecting intelligence would not be so stupid as to report these gossips to Uchiha Kusunoki.

The heroines involved, except Kaede and Rin from Uchiha Nan's family, all have high status. The story makes it sound so realistic. If it's fake, they will have to take the blame. If it's true, it will be even more terrifying. Don't get involved, don't get involved. Just have fun, Hokage.

Uchiha Nan had no idea that his personal integrity was worse than he thought. Which bastard was gossiping behind his back? It would be fine if he did it, but the key point is that he really did nothing. (Hinata Takuma: Don't cue, Uzumaki Aoi: Me too!)

"I see. It doesn't matter. Kakuzu is a money-hungry guy. I forgot to inform Kakuzu to be gentler in the negotiation. But it doesn't matter. These deals were never intended to make money, so it's no loss to make a little loss."

Since Kakuzu has accidentally chosen to play the good guy, he should just continue to play the bad guy.

"Hokage, this is not profitable and we are even losing money. We are also doing a loss-making business with the Sand Village Alliance. Konoha is no longer the same Konoha as before. There is no need for that at all."

Nara Shikaon quickly got into work mode. As Uchiha Nan's frequent assistant, Nara Shikaon knew Konoha's financial situation, development speed, and the speed of its strength growth very well.

For Konoha, allies have always been like this: you are my ally only if you are strong, and you are just a piece of meat if you are weak.

"Back when the Sand Village was under the care of the First Daeme, but..."

The alliance between the ninja villages is as fragile as a piece of paper. When establishing a so-called offensive and defensive alliance during a war, one must consider whether the other party will stab them in the back. Moreover, it is a peaceful time now. Konoha will pay money to form an alliance.
It is completely a thankless task for Nara Shikaon to persuade Uchiha Nan to give up the so-called alliance agreement. Although Konoha is rich now, having money does not mean you can throw meat buns at a dog, not to mention that the dog may bite Konoha back.

"Lu Yuan, when will you be able to truly open up your horizons? You don't know the situation of the Sand Village yet. It's all sand. Food, medicine, and daily necessities are in short supply. The big merchants who supply them are almost all forced to go there by the daimyo of the Wind Country. If they have a choice, they would rather go to the River Country. Those merchants don't want to do a business that is tiring and has low profits."

"What do you think? If Konoha's merchants gradually replace those merchants from the Wind Country, and use our increasingly powerful industrial strength to fully infiltrate the livelihood of the Sand Village in a few years, they may lose money at the beginning, but Konoha's influence will completely radiate to the Sand Village, such as public opinion. By then, once we cut off their..."

"Also, I have discussed with the Sand Village. They will send the children of the upper echelons to Konoha to study. These people will be children who will lean towards Konoha in the future. We can even select some valuable children from them. If Konoha supports a fourth-generation Kazekage, wouldn't it be very interesting?"

Uchiha Nan's simple words made Nara Shikaon's back cold. His source of income was completely controlled by Konoha, his public opinion was infiltrated by Konoha, and the top leaders of Sand Village were bribed by Konoha. This Sand Village is doomed.
In the past, the competition between ninja villages has always been on the battlefield, and now Nara Shikaon's perspective has been broadened again by Uchiha Nan.

"Hokage-sama, your opinion!"

Nara Shikaon looked at Uchiha Nan with fear and awe. This alternative way of subverting a ninja village made Nara Shikaon feel cold in his heart.

I'm afraid that in the future, Konoha will gradually erode the entire ninja world.

"Now that you understand, I will help you deal with the high-ranking officials of the Sand Village. You can take Kakuzu with you to do the rest. I have given you the direction, but I only want the result."

Uchiha Nansu slightly urged Nara Shikaon. Under daily pressure, Nara Shikaon had to work hard. No matter whether they were ordinary people or this group of ninjas, Uchiha Nansu always treated them equally, and they were all objects that could be exploited.

"As ordered!"

These methods that had been used to death in the previous life were already considered extraordinary methods in front of the Konoha ninjas who only liked to solve problems with force.

Although the Konoha ninjas advocate the use of force, they are not stubborn. War can result in deaths, and they still remember the tragic meat grinder of the First Ninja World War. It is a great thing that they can solve the Sand Village, which is one of the five major ninja villages along with Konoha, without bloodshed.

Going to the battlefield to fight a war still costs money. If Commissioner Smith of the Bald Eagle had been less greedy and chose to spend money directly to bribe the Afghan soldiers, the war would not have turned out like that.

Nara Shikato's tone was excited. Although his work pressure had increased again, this new way of war made his blood hot, and a strange emotion appeared in Nara Shikato's heart.

"I'm going to go and comfort Chiyo, you go get me a list of all the people who have entered and left Konoha in the past three days, I have something important to check!"

Nara Shikaon was puzzled by Uchiha Nan's sudden action. The Hokage would not even look at such trivial matters. The flow of people in Konoha is extremely large now. It would be very troublesome to check all the people who registered in the past three days.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

However, Nara Shikaon still obediently carried out Uchiha Nan's orders.

"Paji."

"Hokage-sama!!"

Uchiha Nan pushed open the door. When Chiyo heard the sound, she hurriedly stood up. When she saw that it was Uchiha Nan who came in, she rushed in front of Uchiha Nan.

"Miss Chiyo, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was delayed today by something. Please don't take it to heart."

Uchiha Nan walked to his seat while speaking polite words to Chiyo.

"It's okay, Hokage. I didn't wait long. The environment here is a pleasure for me to sit here for a whole day."

Chiyo didn't care at all that Uchiha Nan had stood her up all morning. Putting aside the psychological factors, the environment in Uchiha Nan's office was already a luxury for Chiyo, who had lived in the Sand Village for many years. There was air conditioning, a sofa to sit on, and unlimited desserts and drinks.

"Hokage, the alliance agreement between Konoha and Sand Village."

Chiyo spoke in a humble tone.
