How to Make Money? Of Course, Fleece Obito Uchiha for All He's Worth!

Noticing that Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, and the others all looked utterly bewildered,

Kaze patiently explained the concept of Five Insurances and One Fund to them.

"It includes work injury insurance, maternity insurance, pension insurance, as well as medical and unemployment insurance."

Kaze then elaborated appropriately on each type of insurance.

Fugaku and the others cried out in amazement as they listened.

Good grief.

Just what did Kaze spend all day thinking about?

"Work injury, maternity, pension, medical care, unemployment..."

As the Clan Head, Fugaku drew a sharp breath and silently repeated the five insurances Kaze had proposed.

From a certain perspective, the five insurances Kaze spoke of were indeed rather appealing.

Especially to commoners without clan support.

Take Kakashi of the Hatake family, for example.

After his father died, he could only live in a small wooden house on the edge of the village.

Sometimes, just to fill his stomach, he had no choice but to catch fish in the river himself.

And he was one of the village's renowned geniuses.

Not to mention the ordinary people in the village.

"As for the One Fund, that is the housing provident fund."

Kaze explained further.

In truth, Five Insurances and One Fund was not something Kaze had simply come up with on a whim.

Before this, he had conducted a fair amount of research and field investigation.

He had learned about the situation in the Land of Fire.

Although great clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga had been assigned their own territories, that did not mean Konoha's land was worthless.

On the contrary, the economic system of the Naruto World was modeled after Japan.

Housing prices were not low.

For example, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Sakura, the female lead and Sasuke's childhood sweetheart, had been repaying a mortgage all along.

Most commoners in the village also bought their homes by making down payments.

Add renovation, furniture, and other expenses to that,

and aside from Jonin, it was no small sum for anyone else.

Yet even in a ninja village like Konoha, Jonin were a tiny minority.

Most adult ninja were generally Chunin.

Let alone commoners who were not even ninja.

"After all, the Security Force's job is to maintain public order in the village. Actual combat situations are rare."

"Even ordinary people who cannot use Ninjutsu can handle some of the work."

"At the same time, we can assign ordinary people to the regular Security Force and have them deal with minor matters like theft and guard duty."

"Then we can establish an Armed Security Force department for situations that require combat."

"For short, the Armed Police Department."

Although technology in the Naruto World was fairly advanced, its political system could not compare at all to the world Kaze had lived in before.

After hearing this entire proposal,

the Uchiha Clan members present were all stunned.

"The two major benefits of doing this are..."

"Allowing others to participate in law enforcement can improve the Security Force's terrible reputation."

"At the same time, it can bind the Security Force to Konoha."

"The Security Force is Konoha's Security Force, not the Uchiha's Security Force."

"This concept is crucial."

"The second point is that having others handle ordinary public security work can reduce our workload."

"That way, we can free up our energy to better develop the economy."

"Make money from Konoha—no..."

"Make money from the Land of Fire."

Kaze laid out his thoughts with a serious expression.

However, such ideas were simply too far ahead of their time.

Not only did some Uchiha clan members find them completely baffling, even those who understood could not quite accept them in their hearts.

But Kaze was no naive child.

He knew full well that

reform was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

It was perfectly normal for the council to convene more than a dozen times over it.

The Conservative faction within the clan would also be the Reformist faction's formidable enemy.

But...

If some things were left unsaid and some things left undone,

then so-called reform would remain nothing more than empty talk.

It would never amount to anything great.

"No matter what, I received Nine-Year Compulsory Education and grew up under the red flag."

"Perhaps Five Insurances and One Fund and the Eight-Hour Work System cannot yet be accepted by the Uchiha Clan."

"But from a long-term, peaceful perspective,"

"such a social system is undoubtedly better than the one in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations."

Kaze thought to himself.

"Let's set aside the housing provident fund and the Eight-Hour Work System for now..."

At that moment, the Hawk Faction Elder slowly spoke up and refuted Kaze's ideas.

"Take the five insurances you mentioned. Wouldn't that be a huge financial expense?"

"Wasn't our plan to make money?"

The Hawk Faction Elder frowned, feeling that Kaze's proposal was somewhat contradictory.

Moreover, he could not see how this had anything to do with revitalizing the Uchiha Clan.

"That is true, but if our reputation remains poor, then no matter what policies we implement, the Konoha leadership will suppress us."

"So we need to win people over and get the commoners on our side."

"Use the commoners to surround the great clans and dismantle the Konoha leadership's power."

"And for commoners, Five Insurances and One Fund and the Eight-Hour Work System would be excellent employment benefits."

As Kaze finished speaking,

the Hawk Faction Elder finally nodded slightly.

Though he still did not really understand, he had the feeling that Kaze was incredibly impressive.

He did not understand it, but it sounded impressive.

"Wait, then according to what you're saying, where are we supposed to get the money?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi could not help asking.

"Vigorously develop the entertainment industry." Kaze thought for a moment before continuing, "That is also the third topic of this Clan Meeting."

In Kaze's view,

the easiest industry to make money from in peacetime was probably entertainment.

"For example, movie-making."

Kaze spoke with conviction.

In fact, in the current ninja world, the film industry was already developing.

There were even places like movie theaters in the Five Great Nations.

"Movies?"

The Uchiha clan members looked at one another.

They had watched movies before, but they had never considered making them.

"That's right."

"The first benefit of making movies is making money."

"And the second benefit is publicity."

"Publicity?" Fugaku and the Hawk Faction Elder frowned at the same time.

They could understand the part about making money.

After all, there were movie theaters in the Land of Fire.

But publicity?

Publicity for what?

"Of course, publicity for our Uchiha Clan."

"You all remember Obito, right?"

Kaze directly shifted the topic to Obito.

In an instant, quite a few people raised their brows.

Although Obito had died young, he had been a genius who awakened the Sharingan during the Third Shinobi World War, a Konoha Hero of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge,

and had the distinction of being the Fourth Hokage's disciple.

How could anyone in the Uchiha Clan not remember him?

"If Obito were still alive, he might be at Jonin level by now."

"Yeah. That kid's train of thought was a little strange sometimes, but he really was talented."

"Kakashi became the famous Copy Ninja just by getting one of Obito's Sharingan, let alone Obito himself, with his extraordinary talent."

For a moment, the Uchiha clan members discussed Obito one after another.

"That's right. Obito was first the Fourth Hokage's disciple, and then a hero of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge."

Kaze nodded, fully agreeing with everyone's words.

"We can completely use the Battle of Kannabi Bridge as the story's backdrop and create a film about Obito's heroic sacrifice."

"Let everyone else in the village know that when facing a ninja world war, we Uchiha have never feared anything."

In Kaze's view, if more films like this patriotic blockbuster were released,

they could not only achieve strong box office results, but also become the talk of the town.

They would subtly change everyone's view of the Uchiha.

As for movie scripts, he could copy stories from his previous world.

He could also create stories based on people like Obito.

Or even...

Remake Icha Icha Paradise!

Most importantly...

He could use this opportunity to cultivate a female lead.

And that female lead had to be an Uchiha.

"Chasing stars has always been irrational. Once people get obsessed, fans will come forward to defend them, and even something black can often be washed white."

When the time came...

They could use the female lead's celebrity appeal

to open theme parks or gambling dens.

Or perhaps...

Livestream product sales.

Once the economy developed, it could absolutely stand toe-to-toe with the Daimyo's industries!
