Chapter 306 Uchiha Nan: Tobirama, for Konoha, let's squeeze you in this world together!
Just like that, no one in the conference room raised any objections, and Senju Tobirama naturally became the acting Hokage of Konoha.
Tsunade is now a charity gambler in the ninja world. She is nicknamed "Big Fat Sheep" and her whereabouts are erratic. It will take some time to find Tsunade and bring her back to Konoha to take over the position of the Fifth Hokage. Before that, all the power of Konoha belongs to Senju Tobirama. Of course, all this is naturally impossible to be as smooth as Uchiha Nan imagined. Senju Tobirama only obtained nominal power. After all, he doesn't even have a useful confidant around him. The Senju clan is no longer there.
Therefore, all the orders given by Tobirama Senju have to be carried out by Sarutobi Hiruzen's men.
Fortunately, thanks to the prestige and status of Tobirama Senju in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have the courage to oppose Tobirama Senju's orders, and he was able to stabilize the current situation.
But Uchiha Nan was not very happy, because he originally wanted to rely on the power of Konoha to do something in this world, at least to collect all the new technologies in this world and take them away.
But the Konoha in this world is really a poor place, with a financial deficit and greatly weakened military strength, making it difficult for them to even defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had been in power for decades, and had squandered all the family fortune accumulated by the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama. After the Third Ninja World War, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, but then the Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out. The Nine-Tails Rebellion a few years ago dealt another blow to Konoha, which had already been severely damaged, and it was a heavy loss.
Konoha had never had an incident of its base being robbed before. The cost of rebuilding Konoha alone was an astronomical sum, and the debt borrowed from the bank in the Land of Fire has not yet been repaid.
Without money, you can’t do anything, and you are restricted in doing anything.
Uchiha Nan had tasted this bitter taste before.
This familiar scene really reminded Uchiha Nan of the time when he had just become the Sandaime Hokage. In the first few years, he did nothing. He was either making money or on his way to making money.
"Uchiha Nan, do you have any solution for Konoha's financial deficit?"
Senju Tobirama knew that Uchiha Kusunoki was good at making money, so he asked for Uchiha Kusunoki's opinion.
"It's easy. We'll make money from whoever has money."
"We'll get some money from the Daimyo, and then we'll issue Konoha's bonds and let the rich people and nobles of the Land of Fire buy them. We'll first get a large sum of money to fill the previous hole, and then finally find a way to revitalize Konoha's economy."
Uchiha Nan thought for a while and spoke slowly.
If Konoha wants to make money now, it can either do it from within or from outside.
Internal Words
The Sarutobi clan, the Utane clan, the Mitomon clan, and the Shimura clan, if we confiscate the property of all four of these families, we will definitely be able to settle Konoha's current accounts.
However, it is quite difficult to do so. These families are already deeply rooted in Konoha. Konoha cannot afford to directly cut flesh within it. At least, it is not the right time now.
Therefore, it is better to let Tsunade in this world worry about this kind of difficult problem involving internal reforms. Of course, for the sake of Tsunade in his own world, Uchiha Kusunoki did not mind taking the initiative to play the role of a bad guy when leaving this world, helping Tsunade to clean up Konoha in this world from top to bottom and physically eliminate some people.
The safest way now is to find ways to get money from outside.
Decades have passed, and the Fire Nation has now completely transformed into an industrial country. The level of technology is almost the same as that of the Blue Planet in the previous life. Even a lot of black technology has appeared. However, the Fire Nation is still ruled by the daimyo. It is difficult for Uchiha Nan to imagine how much wealth the insects of the Fire Nation have accumulated during the transformation.
Maybe even the electrical wires in your home are made of gold.
If you want to gain a lot of wealth in a short period of time, the easiest way is to slaughter pigs. After all, it is easier to bully ordinary people who are powerless, and they are also fatter and tenderer.
“What kind of solution is this!”
“Do you know how fierce the business competition is now?”
"How else do you want to convince the rich people of the Land of Fire to buy Konoha's bonds?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and couldn't help but speak.
It is not easy to get the rich people of the Fire Nation to buy Konoha's bonds, unless the interest rate offered by Konoha is higher than that of the bank. Every slight increase in the interest rate for such a huge amount of funds will result in a huge sum of money.
And
It is not so easy to revitalize the economy. During his tenure as Hokage, he had thought about opening up new sources of income, but the big conglomerates in the Land of Fire had taken the lead, controlling all walks of life, mastering technology, markets, and means of production. If he continued to borrow money, what would he do if he lost money in business? How would Konoha use to repay the debt?
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, I don't like you interrupting me when I'm talking."
Uchiha Nan glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said coldly.
Don’t buy Konoha’s bonds?
Then let them see if there would be any wandering ninjas knocking on their door in the middle of the night without Konoha's protection.
As for paying back the money?
What money is being paid back!
Uchiha Nan had no intention of paying back the money!
At that time, we will send ninjas to the creditors' homes, put kunai on their necks and ask them whether they want to choose debt-for-equity swap.
don't want?
Ah, the creditor's entire family suddenly died overnight. He doesn't even have to pay back the money? That's really a cause for celebration!
"Nonsense!"
"Uchiha Nan, do you want to destroy Konoha?"
When Sarutobi Hiruzen learned of Uchiha Nan's idea, he shook his head like a drum. In his opinion, this kind of thing was simply treason.
This has seriously violated the laws of the Fire Nation, and Konoha exists to protect the Fire Nation!
An old conservative appeared in the room. New school members like Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama still like to embrace the rules when they are in their favor. If they are not in their favor, they will use their kunai to speak. The rules made by the strong are the rules.
"Shut up, Hiruzen."
"Just do as Uchiha Nan said."
"You should do this yourself. Remember to do it beautifully and don't let me down again."
Senju Tobirama had a gloomy face and decisively chose Uchiha Nan's method. The more he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, the more he disliked him. Hiruzen was not so pedantic when he was young.
If Konoha wants to make money, it can't take the usual path. How can a warlord do business seriously?
Konoha has not changed at all under Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule over the years. I must have chosen the wrong person.
"It's the teacher"
Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly looked gloomy. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he could only nod in agreement when faced with Senju Tobirama's order.
Let’s not talk about whether this approach can be effective or not. In the past, it was Danzo who did all the dirty work!
I am the leaf bathed in the sun, and Danzo is the root hidden in the darkness.
Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat dejectedly in the corner of the office, smoking silently, looking a little dazed, as if reminiscing about the past.
Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama ignored the distraught Sarutobi Hiruzen. Then Uchiha Nan picked up a list from the table and began to read it, making sighing sounds.
That is the list of assigned teams for this year's ninja school graduates.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this list?" Senju Tobirama noticed Uchiha Nan's actions. This guy would not just look at a document casually.
"There's nothing wrong with that, but when I saw this list, I suddenly remembered something."
"It's about Uzumaki Naruto."
"Sister-in-law's clansmen?"
Uchiha Nan nodded and told Senju Tobirama about Uzumaki Naruto's life story. He had forgotten about this matter when he and Senju Tobirama were checking the accounts yesterday.
Uzumaki Naruto is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage and the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Logically, he should enjoy the treatment of a hero's son, but now his life in Konoha can be described as dire straits.
Tobirama, do you know why this is happening?
Uchiha Nan hesitated and left his words halfway, then skillfully became a riddle teller again, while glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was smoking in the corner.
"Hiruzen, come here!"
"Tell me everything about Uzumaki Naruto."
Senju Tobirama was disgusted by Uchiha Kusunoki's Riddler's behavior, so he took his anger out on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Ah. Yes. Yes. Teacher."
"The Fourth Hokage died on the night of the Nine-Tails. In order to ensure the safety of Uzumaki Naruto and prevent the masked man from attacking Konoha again, I concealed his identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage. But Danzo secretly spread the rumor that Uzumaki Naruto was a demon fox, which led to Uzumaki Naruto's family being ostracized by the villagers over the years."
"But don't worry, teacher. Under my guidance, Uzumaki Naruto inherited Konoha's will of fire and has always wanted to become Konoha's Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly became gloomy again and came to the side of Senju Tobirama. Adhering to the principle that Danzo should take the blame for all bad things and all credit should go to the Hokage, he recounted the experience of Uzumaki Naruto in general.
"You and Danzo really have a good teamwork."
"Danzo has been able to bypass you as the Hokage and do whatever he wants in Konoha all these years. Then what are you doing as the Hokage?"
Senju Tobirama stood up with a sneer. He could understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions of hiding Uzumaki Naruto's identity, but he could absolutely tolerate the phenomenon that Shimura Danzo confronted the Hokage and the Hokage remained indifferent. He pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen and scolded him.
Hiruzen, you are such a waste!
Even a Danzo can’t be suppressed!
"In this case, I think we should find an opportunity to clarify Uzumaki Naruto's identity. Tsunade will be back soon, so we can leave this matter to her."
"It would be better to let the next Hokage do this kind of work of winning people's hearts. As for who should take the blame, Danzo alone may not be able to bear it."
Uchiha Nan spoke in a sinister tone, looking Sarutobi Hiruzen up and down and said, "You two brothers have done something bad, we have to fight it together."
The Fifth Hokage wanted to carry out a series of reforms in Konoha, which would certainly require touching some people's cake and also require sacrificing someone as a sacrifice to show his determination. Sarutobi Hiruzen is just the right person.
I, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, for the sake of Konoha, even spared no effort on my own teacher, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, for Konoha, are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"
"Is all this for Konoha?"
Uchiha Nan expressed his thoughts, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's face trembled and he was speechless.
Killing people is not enough, do you have to be so cruel?
I have worked diligently for Konoha for half my life. You can't possibly want to settle accounts with me now that I've retired, right?
"Huruzen, are you loyal to Konoha?"
Senju Tobirama focused his attention on Sarutobi Hiruzen. If sacrificing Sarutobi Hiruzen could give Konoha new vitality, it might be a good deal.
yes or ok?
A simple multiple choice question.
The combined pressure from Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama gave Sarutobi Hiruzen no chance to refuse.
If it's decent, everyone will be happy. If it's not decent, the two of us will help you to be decent!
"loyalty!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to cry, what could he do now?
You can't just say no, right?
"Teacher, I'm tired. I'm going out to get some fresh air."
"It's easy to leave without seeing him off."
Uchiha Nan waved at Sarutobi Hiruzen, with the corners of his mouth raised, and he even couldn't help but hum.
Sarutobi Hiruzen staggered out of the Hokage's office, leaving Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama in the room, so Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama started to have a "secret talk".
In fact, it is about the research on dragon veins and how to return to the original world.
It's time to get started on this matter, but considering that Tobirama Senju is also serving as the acting Hokage, there is a pile of documents on the table waiting for him to deal with, and hundreds of shadow clones are also working hard in the original world, so no one goes to the laboratory to work.
"Tobirama, research on dragon veins. How to return to our world."
"And someone is needed to collect and process the technology in this world."
“Should you?”
"Uchiha Nan, I'm very busy right now. I don't have time at all. How about I remove some of the shadow clones in the original world, and then..."
Senju Tobirama nodded. The first method of finding a way back to the original world was indeed the most important thing, but the second one... Uchiha Nan, you are such a beast. However, Senju Tobirama still thought of a way. As long as he eliminated a part of the shadow clones in the original world, he could devote his time and energy to working for Uchiha Nan.
"How can this be possible!"
"The research on the original world cannot stop for a moment!
"Then what do you want to do? I can't create more shadow clones anyway!"
"Ahem. Tobirama, have you forgotten that you in this world are still sleeping in the Pure Land? You know, sleeping is a waste of time for the dead. Why don't we also resurrect you in this world into the Impure World?"
Uchiha Nan coughed and spoke out his thoughts.
"You're still a fucking human being!!"
"It's fine that you exploited me before, but now you're not letting me in this world go, you bastard."
Senju Tobirama was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he started to curse at Uchiha Nan. (End of this chapter)
