Uchiha Madara: Making Money at the Factory Is So Easy!

"Eat more protein cubes from the cafeteria; they give out quite a lot. If you can't finish them, remember to take them home. Protein cubes can be kept for a long time, but they get a bit hard. Don't waste them!"

Qi Shu ate heartily, quickly picking up and eating the leftover rice grains on the table. He muttered to himself about the feeling of hunger, the exhaustion and weakness, and how he only wanted to eat something... anything... he never wanted to experience that feeling again—dirt, tree bark, or rotting flesh.

The workers in this factory were almost all survivors who had barely managed to escape to Konoha from all corners of the Land of Fire. Having personally experienced hunger and witnessed people starving to death, they had an unusual obsession with food. Having endured hardship for too long, they were all the best practitioners of Operation Disc.

Madara Uchiha ate silently, observing everything around him. The entire cafeteria was now full of people, filled with noise and the sounds of chewing.

Exhausted and covered in sweat, but his expression wasn't numb. His demeanor was completely different from the civilians he'd encountered on his journey from the cave to Konoha. Truly impressive.

Konoha Street

"Where should we eat lunch? This is the first time I'm treating the three of you to lunch, so you can choose any place you like."

Uchiha Nan left work fifteen minutes early, which was quite an achievement for Uchiha Nan today. Becoming Naruto- style Hokage wasn't what she wanted; she had Nara Luyuan Uchiha Nan direction of things, and the rest was up to them to carry out.

That's the good thing about a world where might makes right. You can be a hands-off manager, not afraid of being sidelined. If something goes wrong, you can directly hold someone accountable, then drag them to the Anbu, use illusion magic, and the whole truth will be revealed. The administrative efficiency is extremely high.

Once the Anbu are infiltrated, their inner thoughts can no longer be hidden.

"Lord Hokage, you can choose any place; I'm fine with anything."

Orochimaru didn't care what he ate for lunch; he was indifferent to such low-level pleasures as the taste of gourmet food, and a nutritional injection would suffice.

Me too!

Jiraiya remained as timid and hesitant as Jiraiya, not yet fully opening up in front of Uchiha Nan.

"I want to go to the same place my grandma ate at for her birthday last time. Is it good?"

"Mito-sama his birthday?"

Uchiha Nan was a little puzzled that Mito hadn't invited her to her birthday banquet—what a stingy person! However, she didn't dwell on it too much. The grudges between them would probably only increase in the future. She decided she wouldn't invite Mito to her wedding either.

No, we must ask her to give us a gift of money. Compared to the cost of adding a pair of chopsticks, it's more profitable to collect the gift money!

Uchiha Nan's mind was wandering as he followed Tsunade through two streets to a familiar hotel—the one where he had treated Chiyo to a meal at public expense.

Tsunade, you know how to pick your spots!

"Lord Hokage, you've arrived!"

"And Miss Tsunade, your presence is truly an honor to our humble establishment today!"

The lobby manager, who had just been arrogantly and perfunctorily dealing with the guests, rushed to Uchiha Nan 'Uchiha Nan side the moment he saw her face.

"Same as always, the rooftop private room. You know my tastes. Put it on the tab, I'll send someone to settle the bill at the end of the month."

"Lord Hokage, your presence at our humble shop is a great honor for us."

The lobby manager smiled obsequiously and said, "Uchiha Nan's status means he can eat here without paying. The Hokage's status is his prestige and reputation. Once it spreads, nobles and wealthy merchants will consider it an honor to dine at this hotel."

"Lord Hokage, this way."

Uchiha Nan frowned as he looked at the lobby manager bowing and scraping before him. This attitude was lowering the hotel's overall standard.

"I don't like your current attitude. Go back to your arrogant self from before."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

The lobby manager's expression changed instantly, becoming serious, as if he would never bow down for a pittance.

"Good!"

Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction and walked up the steps. Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya followed behind.

Before long, the table was filled with all sorts of delicious food. Uchiha Nan didn't know what Jiraiya Orochimaru liked to eat, so he simply asked the manager to bring out all the dishes on the menu. After all, ninjas have big appetites, and this restaurant's specialty is delicious food with small portions, aiming not to rip off the poor. It's all about status and prestige.

The four of them can eat it!

"Burp tastes good"

In a whirlwind, the plates on the table were Jiraiya empty. Jiraiya sighed, loosening the buttons on his clothes. He'd eaten too much; they were a little tight.

Compared to Jiraiya, Orochimaru was much more elegant. He picked up a tissue and wiped the smudges from the corner of his mouth. "The taste is indeed very good. Indulging in delicious food only once in a while... it smells so good!"

Tsunade was still eating voraciously, calling out to the manager to bring two more plates of her favorites. What a hidden glutton! It's normal for a girl to eat her way out of house and home.

After the four finished eating, Uchiha Nan took a look at the bill. Prices as always... they really don't rip off poor people!

Training Ground

Uchiha Nan lay under the shade of a large tree, needing to rest for a while after lunch. Orochimaru sat under the shade of a tree, engrossed in a book, Jiraiya lay on the grass with a dog tail in his mouth, his eyes constantly glancing in Tsunade's direction—truly a sycophant.

Tsunade bent her knees, rested her hands on her thighs, and propped her chin up with the other end of her hand as she looked at Uchiha Nan.

The Lord Hokage isn't as bad as Mito -sama said; he's actually quite handsome from this angle.

Tsunade observed Uchiha Nan. Although she didn't have much interaction with Uchiha Nan, she often heard Uchiha Nan's name from Mito Uzumaki's mouth.

Morally corrupt, shameless, and a lecherous man—his reputation is terrible. However, among the Konoha, his evaluation is unusually high. Uchiha Nan is the greatest Ninja world, Konoha's most outstanding Hokage. Tsunade has seen villagers kneeling and worshipping Uchiha Nan's statue several times. The debt of gratitude for his life can never be repaid, never be repaid!

Uchiha Nan emerged out of nowhere, defeating Mito Uzumaki and becoming Hokage. He led Konoha to end the First Shinobi World War. A series of incredible methods revitalized Konoha, causing a dramatic transformation in the Konoha in such a short time. Tsunade personally witnessed and experienced this firsthand. Tsunade thought that Uchiha Nan wasn't much older than her, so how could he be so powerful?

Becoming the Hokage of Konoha was also Tsunade's dream!

A strange emotion stirred within him, a mixture of curiosity and longing for Tsunade.

Uchiha Nan admired the scenery, but his ninja instincts told him he was being watched.

Hmm? Why is Tsunade looking in my direction?

Why is your face red? Why are you blushing like a teapot?!

Tsunade seemed to notice Uchiha Nan's gaze and subconsciously lowered her head.

Pshaw. You little brat.

Uchiha Nan didn't take Tsunade seriously. Tsunade hadn't yet shown her true charm. Uchiha Nan didn't like the "washboard "Tsunade; being a cute little sister now would be quite nice. A purple-clad little sister is very...

Lunch break ended quickly.

"I'll give you three some time to prepare, then attack me all at once. I want to see how strong you are first."

Today's lesson was originally supposed to be for one person, Jiraiya, but now it's turned into a test of strength for three people. Maybe we should all do it together to save time.

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru quickly formed a circle and began discussing countermeasures. They planned to give Uchiha Nan a harsh lesson and test his mettle Hokage!

Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya were all eager to try their luck, even if they lost to the Hokage, they would still be honored!

"You're full of energy!"

Uchiha Nan stretched. Dealing with these three little brats, he didn't even need to activate his Mangekyō Sharingan; just a small three-tomoe Sharingan would be enough to secure the win. A mishap would be too embarrassing!

Be cautious!

"As planned!"

Orochimaru shouted, and the three of them charged forward together.

"Too slow!"

"Interesting. Is it Sealing Jutsu? No, something's not right with your strength. Mito teach you that?"

"But it's no use!"

Uchiha Nan toyed with the three men. Faced with the three-tomoe Sharingan, all their plans were rendered useless. They were passively beaten, with Jiraiya the weakest. He was constantly being attacked and finally fell asleep after being kicked.

Tsunade is quite impressive; the strength she's displayed would make even a typical Chunin feel threatened. Her Chakra reserves far exceed those of her peers, her recovery ability is strong, and she can even use Medical Ninjutsu to heal. However, Uchiha Nan didn't give her a chance to unleash her power. How could a healer possibly heal in front of her?

Orochimaru's performance surprised Uchiha Nan. He clearly understood the advantages of the Sharingan and the patterns of Uchiha Nan's attacks. His responses were very effective, especially the instant he closed his eyes when their eyes met... It was clear he had received professional training.

Bringer-of-Darkness Technique?

Have you learned all these tricks?

Uchiha Nan was plunged into darkness. Orochimaru had learned to underestimate the Uchiha's unique techniques. Tobirama Senju, you really are a good teacher!

That's a pretty good genjutsu. If Uchiha Nan Tobirama Senju probably have a real headache. But the one using the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique right now is Orochimaru (young version).

Uchiha Nan's eye power, combined with his professional genjutsu dispelling seals, broke the genjutsu in an instant, but still gave Orochimaru a fleeting opportunity. Smack!

Orochimaru, who was trying to take the opportunity to attack Uchiha Nan, was kicked away by Uchiha Nan with lightning speed. He rolled several times.

The three-person team unfortunately lost!

Uchiha Nan woke Jiraiya, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, all covered in dust, awaited Uchiha Nan's evaluation.

"The three of you are better than I expected. Jiraiya, you're quite resilient, and your reaction speed is decent. For someone who hasn't had any special training, this is quite good. At your current level, there's no need for the school to waste its time on you."

"Tsunade, your punches aren't fast enough, and they're not ruthless enough Mito Uzumaki taught you well."

"Orochimaru, you did the best. That bastard taught you all the tricks for dealing with the Uchiha. I'm going to settle the score with him tonight!"

After giving his evaluation, Uchiha Nan provided guidance to each of them. Tsunade and Orochimaru didn't require much effort. They were trained by experts and had excellent talent; what they lacked was experience and training.

Jiraiya was still a novice. The Chakra Ninja Academy taught him very basic techniques, such as Water Walking and tree climbing, which he hadn't fully mastered. His Chakra reserves were insufficient, and he still had a long way to go before he could successfully perform Summoning Technique.

Uchiha Nan could only teach him little by little.

Konoha Factory

Madara Uchiha followed the flow of people toward the factory. Qi Shu, who was beside him, led Madara Uchiha to his workstation. It was an assembly line operation where only a part of the product needed to be assembled. The technical content was not high, but the work speed had to be fast, and it could not be stopped for several hours.

I wouldn't have a chance to rest until dinner time.

"Remember, you can't stop in the middle! If your work speed doesn't meet the standard, you'll be docked pay!"

Qi Shu gave a brief instruction and then returned to his workstation, Madara Uchiha began working just like the other workers.

"It's very simple."

Madara Uchiha quickly got into the swing of things; this kind of mechanical work that didn't require much brainpower was really easy money!

Half an hour. Bored, mind blank.

One hour. Bored, mind blank.

Two hours Hashirama boredom would definitely not have been as good as what Hashirama could have done himself.

Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha with undivided attention. With the enhancement of his Sage Body, this level of workload was nothing to him; he could work like crazy all day long.

"This money is so easy to make," Madara Uchiha thought to himself, his mind blank and his mood becoming peaceful. He could even try to awaken the Rinnegan without any delay. This little bit of physical exertion was nothing, since it didn't even require Chakra. He just kept thinking about Hashirama, but that was an old habit, so it didn't matter!

"Slow down, slow down, sir! You're working too fast. This is really tiring!"

"Damn! That's intense?"

"Awesome!"

Madara Uchiha's movements were exceptionally nimble; an ordinary person would already be feeling fatigued by this point. But Madara Uchiha was no ordinary person. This level of exertion was insignificant compared to the intensity of his battle with Madara Uchiha Hashirama Senju. His Chakra and ocular power were rapidly depleting, and his stamina was exhausted. He fought Hashirama Senju to the very last moment, relying solely on his willpower.

The workers in the same group as Madara Uchiha were all amazed. They had been worried that the arrival of an elderly man might drag down the group's performance.

Passing is the bare minimum; maintaining a good grade will earn you a bonus at the end of the month; and if you consistently maintain an excellent grade, the hourly wage for the entire team will increase!

Hmph. Even if I were to work in a factory... I, Madara Uchiha, would have no Hashirama. Hashirama, if you were here too, perhaps you could put me to the test.

Madara Uchiha felt a surge of pride. He loved how naive these people were, and he knew he could be even faster!

Time flies, and soon it's dinner time...

As is customary, the group leaders tallied the afternoon's work progress.

"This combination..."

"Qualified.."

"Good.."

"You were almost there! I'll consider this a pass this time, and make up the difference tonight!"

"Excellent?"

Looking at the production line run by Madara Uchiha, the team leader was somewhat doubtful of his own eyes after an afternoon of work.

Generally speaking, such an excellent evaluation is very difficult to obtain; it requires working non-stop for an entire afternoon to have a chance of achieving it, which is an extremely difficult thing.

Everyone gets tired; hands and feet ache, and physical strength is depleted. I've heard that only groups of workers with Chakra receive excellent ratings.
