Hoo.

Finally back in the village!

After finishing up matters in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Nan rushed back to Konohagakure without delay.

As the Hokage, he had only been in office for a day before leaving the village, and Uchiha Nan was worried someone might cause trouble for him.

To take care of Kaede and Suzu, he had even hired a carriage.

After all, the two sisters were just ordinary people and didn't have the ability to leap over walls and run through trees.

However, Uchiha Nan didn't make a big show of going to the Hokage Office. He planned to settle Kaede and Suzu at home first, and then engage in a bit of Golden House seclusion!

Social death was inevitable, but he absolutely had to remember: if you can dodge until the 15th, don't die on the first!

Unfortunately, fate was not on his side.

Uchiha Nan forgot to change out of his clothes. The divine robe he was wearing was too conspicuous, and Uchiha Tomita saw him immediately.

"Lord Uchiha Nan, you're back?"

Uchiha Tomita's face lit up with surprise, and he quickly went to greet him.

"Mm, I'm back, I'm back."

Uchiha Nan replied, not intending to get into a discussion with Uchiha Tomita here. He headed straight for home!

"What's in this carriage?"

"A gift, a gift, a gift from the Daimyo!"

"That much?"

"The Daimyo is very generous, it can't be helped!"

Uchiha Nan lowered his head and quickened his pace.

"Hey! You few over there, why are you so unobservant? Go and lead the carriage for the Clan Head, and help move the Daimyo's gift from the carriage to the Clan Head's house."

Uchiha Tomita called out to a few young Uchiha boys passing by.

Such minor tasks as leading a carriage and moving things shouldn't waste Uchiha Nan's time.

Uchiha Tomita was also eager to reconcile accounts with Uchiha Nan and properly deposit the extra 1 billion Ryo into the clan's ledger.

1 billion Ryo was no small sum. Even the clan's professional Accountant would need some time to falsify accounts, and the receipts and expenditures would require Uchiha Nan, the Hokage, to stamp them.

"Yes, Lord Tomita!"

"Coming!"

The few cool youngsters immediately scurried over. Being able to do something for Uchiha Nan was something they couldn't ask for more.

Without giving Uchiha Nan a chance to refuse, they grabbed the reins of the carriage.

Uchiha Nan tightly gripped the reins in his hand, waving his hands repeatedly in refusal.

However, this action was seen as a mere symbolic refusal by the young men.

"Clan Head, what gift did the Daimyo give? The carriage is full!"

The thing Uchiha Nan worried about the most had happened. One of the young men, out of curiosity, directly opened the curtain.

"Ah!"

Kaede and Suzu clung to each other tightly. Uchiha Nan had instructed them not to speak casually without his permission. His stern expression had frightened the two sisters, and they had been anxious all the way. The sudden appearance of so many voices made them instinctively huddle together.

A gift?

Was this the gift the Daimyo had given?

The young Uchiha men's eyes nearly popped out when they saw the twin sisters in the carriage.

Clan Head, you're really something else!

It's over!

Uchiha Nan's heart sank, his integrity shattered at that moment.

"Lord Uchiha Nan, I..."

Cold sweat broke out all over Uchiha Tomita's back. Even if he were beaten to death, he never would have imagined that the "gift" Uchiha Nan spoke of was this!

Will I be silenced?

"What are you looking at? Put the curtain down!"

"All of you, get lost!"

Uchiha Nan, in a fit of rage, began to chase them away. The young men were naturally eager to leave this troublesome place and fled quickly.

"Tomita, stay behind."

Uchiha Nan's words were like a devil's whisper, causing Uchiha Tomita, who was about to make a run for it, to stop in his tracks.

"Lord Uchiha Nan, is there anything else?"

"Go and prepare a large bed for me, the kind that can sleep three people."

Since things have come to this, he might as well go all out and embrace the thrill. Uchiha Nan decided to just let loose, and he also needed to give Kaede and Suzu some sort of official standing.

As Hokage, every move he made was under intense scrutiny, and he couldn't keep things hidden for long.

"Understood, Lord Uchiha Nan!"

Uchiha Tomita marveled inwardly, thinking that Uchiha Nan truly was a young man, so full of energy!

He himself had already entered the ranks of middle-aged men, and the unspoken difficulties of middle age were best left unmentioned.

Uchiha Tomita had initially intended to leave, but since Uchiha Nan had called him back, he decided to take this opportunity to say everything he needed to, to avoid future trouble.

Uchiha Nan, as the Hokage and the Clan Head of the Uchiha, possessed a noble bloodline and already had two Kekkei Genkai. He should marry a wife from within the clan.

Only then would the children born be able to retain the highest possible bloodline purity, and their talent would naturally be the best.

If Uchiha Nan gave the order, Uchiha Tomita could immediately hold a clan-wide selection of young maidens for Uchiha Nan to marry right away!

The clan elders were already urging him, and those with granddaughters were particularly eager. They couldn't delay any longer; back when Uchiha Nan was their age, their children were already calling them "Dad."

As for the sisters gifted by the Daimyo, keeping them as concubines was not a big deal in a large clan; it wasn't uncommon. Becoming the wife of the Uchiha Clan Head would likely be quite difficult.

"I understand, I understand."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, not intending to argue with Uchiha Tomita on this matter. Kaede and Suzu were unexpected to begin with; if it weren't for the rewards from that brutal mission, he wouldn't have taken them in at all.

But he had to admit, they were surprisingly wonderful!

As for his future wife, he'd let fate decide. As long as she was good-looking, Uchiha Nan wasn't thinking too much about it.

Seeing that Uchiha Nan had no objections, Uchiha Tomita went to prepare the large bed with peace of mind.

After settling Kaede and Suzu, Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Tomita returned to the Hokage Office to work, intending to pre-approve the falsify accounts paperwork as requested by the Minister of Finance of the Land of Fire, to avoid trouble later.

"How much?"

"You said how much?"

"2 billion!"

Uchiha Tomita slapped his hand on the chair. The extra 1 billion was already a pleasant surprise, and now it had doubled.

"Calm down!"

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, telling Uchiha Tomita not to get too excited, acting as if he'd never seen anything before.

After visiting the Ministry of Finance of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Nan realized just how greedy and how much those damned parasites could hoard.

Just the tax evasion from commercial activities alone could support another Konohagakure, and that didn't even include the major portion from land taxes.

Money, money, and more money!

Without money, there was no way to develop.

To complete the tasks on the roulette, he had to find ways to get money. Relying solely on the budget from the Land of Fire offered no hope of achieving the Konoha Dream. The requirement to make ninja from other villages willing to become rogue ninja just to join Konoha was not a low one at all.

He had to build Konoha into America to attract countless Rennin to join!
