Uchiha Nan: I Aspire to Become a Household Name in the Ninja World!
"Sir, were you... a ninja before?"
The team leader tentatively asked Madara Uchiha, "An elderly person like him couldn't possibly have such efficiency. Only ninjas with Chakra could do something like that."
"Um."
Madara Uchiha in the gazes of the crowd, casually admitted it.
"No wonder."
The team leader nodded. "That's not surprising. That's not surprising at all." In an instant, the workers in the same team as Madara Uchiha couldn't hide their joy. A big shot had been parachuted into the team to boost performance, so their salaries were definitely going to increase this month!
The workers in the outstanding evaluation team even get different meals than the regular workers. They get to eat meat!
"Sir, is there still a chance for me to switch to your team now?"
"Me too! I'm also very efficient at my work and won't hold you back, sir!"
"Get lost! These are all assigned group leaders, ignore them and leave! Today, to celebrate the leaders' first day on the job, let's chip in and buy some wine and meat!"
Everyone wants to latch onto a powerful figure, and everyone witnessed the impressive achievements of Madara Uchiha, this newly recruited factory worker, in just one afternoon. He single-handedly elevated a subpar group to an excellent one. That's money!
"Then let's go."
A slight smile appeared on Madara Uchiha's lips. He was indeed a powerhouse in every field!
Madara Uchiha was thriving at the factory, while Black Zetsu, who was watching from the corner, gritted his teeth in anger. If it weren't for the immense effort Black Zetsu had poured into Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha, he would have given up on this Lunatic.
Madara Uchiha, you betrayed the Konoha you founded, fought a life-or-death battle with Hashirama Senju, went through countless hardships to obtain Hashirama Cells, stole Asura's Chakra, and spent ten years trying to awaken the Rinnegan.
After doing so much, and returning to Konoha, you come to a place like this and sell your labor so cheaply?
Was Madara Uchiha truly insane?
Black Zetsu understand, but was deeply shocked!
Perhaps I really need to choose a new executor for the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Black Zetsu was conflicted. He felt that his main character, Madara Uchiha, was ruined. He needed to find a way to create a new one. But when exactly did he ruin this main character?
Days passed slowly. Uchiha Nan slacked off at work every day, occasionally taking time to instruct Jiraiya on his Summoning Technique, sending a clone to spar with Orochimaru, and his Tsunade body to spar with Tsunade.
In between, they also took the time to see off the Sunagakure delegation led by the pretty widow Konoha Chiyo. These past few days Chiyo and Nara Luyuan had already discussed the alliance agreement between Sunagakure and Konoha, and it would be inappropriate for them to stay in Konoha any longer.
Konoha's only advantage is its beautiful environment; you can see blue skies, white clouds, and green trees. They can also enjoy delicacies they've never had in Sunagakure, and have unlimited fresh water 24/7. Aside from that, there's nothing else in Konoha that the Sunagakure delegation would find worth staying for. They weren't envious at all.
"I hope that one day Sunagakure can be as prosperous as Konoha."
Chiyo gazed upon the bustling scene of Konoha, she made a wish in her heart. Despite her reluctance, Sunagakure was their home, and no matter how wonderful this place was, it had nothing to do with them.
"Lord Hokage, this kind of article..."
"Human Rights Report of the Kirigakure Family"
"Kill that Kaguya clansman"
"Twenty years as a slave"
"Suitō's First Love Story!"
Why does Suitō hate bloodline clans?
"."
Nara Luyuan stared at the magazines and newspapers Uchiha Nan had given him, sweat beading on his forehead. Information about the internal strife within Kirigakure, the discord between the Mizukage and the Kirigakure bloodline clans, was coming in almost daily from Kirigakure.
Now that Uchiha Nan has actually written such an article, isn't this just putting the Third Mizukage on the grill again?
"It's no big deal. I just truthfully wrote down everything that Suitō did to the bloodline clan."
Uchiha Nan didn't care at all. In order to accelerate his strength improvement, he tried to make the most of even ordinary lottery chances. His bloodline Uchiha Nan had given him sixty lottery chances at once, and he had to make the most of them.
They need to continue stirring up conflict between the bloodline clans and Suitō. Suitō is definitely capable; even as a commoner ninja, he managed to subdue the bloodline clans and become the Mizukage. Suitō was at his weakest before becoming Mizukage, but now that Suitō Mizukage, Uchiha Nan doesn't believe the Kirigakure bloodline clans can overthrow Suitō's rule.
When the two sides start fighting, Konoha will be able to take advantage of the situation.
They managed to poach one ninja clan—that's a remarkable achievement!
As for how the Third Mizukage would feel after reading these magazines and newspapers, that's not something Uchiha Nan needs to worry about. Suitō can't possibly start a war with Konoha over this, can he? He's not even secure his position as Mizukage right now. If he wants to start a war, he should first deal with the clans in the village that are always trying to rebel.
"Lord Hokage, are you sure Suitō harbors resentment because his first love was stolen by a member of the Hōzuki Clan?"
"Ahem, this is for sales."
"Intelligence warfare is quite expensive. These kinds of short stories are quite appealing, so we can sell them on the side!"
"A mix of true and false information sources is what makes people so bewildered."
Uchiha Nan chuckled. Stories that are half-true and half-false are the most captivating; he had only made a slight artistic embellishment. Kirigakure, so he would just treat it as a little bit of entertainment and gossip for them.
"What about those pornographic magazines, adult films, and videotapes?"
"Sell it as a side effect, sell it as a side effect. You know, Konoha has shares in these adult film companies, as a technology investment. Don't underestimate it; in terms of profitability and profit margin, few industries Konoha is involved in can surpass it."
Uchiha Nan's face flushed red. He had already put all of these at the very bottom. But eroticism is the very source of human motivation!
Consider it a benefit I'm giving to the villagers of Kirigakure!
"Alright, Lord Hokage."
Nara Luyuan was speechless. The dividends from the adult entertainment industry last year were already astronomical. The advent of color films had propelled the industry onto a rocket-like trajectory. Many single men in the Ninja world would skip a couple of meals to buy the newly released adult films.
The royalties from Jiraiya's low-brow, borderline novels were enough to keep Jiraiya living a life of luxury, and the profits from his real-life, hardcore adult films... Wow, that's terrifying... And the movies in this world aren't even censored.
"The intelligence department does more than just gather intelligence; they also constantly write articles to sow discord within the ninja villages and exacerbate their internal conflicts. They're all very poor right now, and as the saying goes, poverty makes everything miserable for couples. Uneven distribution of resources makes it easy to stir up their emotions. Sometimes, they don't even need to fabricate stories; just telling the truth is enough."
"I've learned something. I've learned something." Nara Luyuan nodded repeatedly. He always learned new things from Uchiha Nan. With these techniques in place, it would be difficult for the other ninja villages to regain their strength.
"Of course... escalating conflicts and provoking confrontation are just the basics. The most important thing is to elevate oneself, which means Konoha. Each ninja village has different targets for specific campaigns, such as Sunagakure."
Do you know how to write it?
Uchiha Nan felt that Nara Luyuan nodding reminded him of how he used to daydream in class for a long time, then pretend to nod as if he understood.
"Uh, I don't know."
Nara Luyuan shook his head. The Lord Hokage's thinking was still too unconventional. In the past, ninjas used Kunai, Shuriken, and Ninjutsu in battle, and occasionally resorted to sneak attacks, poisoning, and kidnapping. These were just some of the methods.
Uchiha Nan, cough-cough, genius-level methods were something even these ninjas who only knew how to kill had never used before.
"Sunagakure currently suffering from material shortages, hunger, and poverty. It would be easy to fabricate a short story about Konoha based on this."
"Konoha is a prosperous, kind, and loving ninja village."
"I have a friend who came back from Konoha. In Konoha, if children argue with their parents and run away from home, if they get hungry, they can go to any shop or restaurant and get a delicious meal, which might even include cake, sushi, or ice cream."
"It is precisely because the villagers of Konoha are so loving, kind, and uphold the Will of Fire of the Third Hokage that they live such a wonderful and happy life."
"."
"My friend who came back from Konoha also said that in order to make sure every villager could afford to eat, Konoha launched a rice ball set meal where you can eat as many rice balls as you want for just ten ryo."
"This kind of short story can be made up easily, but it's lacking something. Oh, I remember, I need to reflect on the ending."
"What a united, loving, harmonious, and kind ninja village this is! Konoha's strength is not without reason. Where exactly does our Sunagakure fall short? We can't help but reflect on this."
"This is just right."
Uchiha Nan read two modified versions of a certain Lin's short story with great emotion. In his previous life, this Lin's short story was widely circulated among primary and secondary schools in Rabbit Country.
One-dollar fried chicken, drinkable toilet water, and squid are just some of the little stories that can continue to shine in the Ninja world.
"Lord Hokage, this... it's all fake..."
Nara Luyuan was stunned by Uchiha Nan's impromptu story; anyone who had spent even a day in Konoha would never have believed Uchiha Nan's tale.
"Never mind whether it's true or not, just make it up like this. Then, have Sunagakure spend some money to have people spread the word, praising Konoha and saying that we and Sunagakure are allies. You should have already taken care of the delegation that came to Konoha this time, right? You've given them all the bribes they were supposed to. They've seen how prosperous Konoha is."
"What's wrong with exaggerating a little in the advertising?"
Uchiha Nan said with a hint of disappointment.
"Understood, Lord Hokage."
Nara Luyuan's perspective broadened once again, and he nodded repeatedly to Uchiha Nan, realizing that he was truly far from reaching the level of the Lord Hokage.
"I'm afraid you ninjas aren't very good at making up stories. You should find some writers in the Land of Fire; they should be professionals. Lu Yuan, you'll be in charge of printing and managing the channels within Sunagakure to distribute these stories."
Uchiha Nan wasn't entirely confident in Nara Luyuan's storytelling abilities. Stories and deception were the domain of the literary figures of the Land of Fire, and asking ninjas to take on such a task was asking too much of them.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Nara Luyuan nodded. Writing articles and fabricating short stories was indeed not something ninjas were good at. It was better to outsource it. After all, Konoha wasn't short of money right now.
"The construction team, the supply transport team, and the factory facilities dispatched to Sunagakure will require your continued attention. The initial investment will be substantial. Remember to bring Kakuzu along; he understands cost-saving and will help you save where you can and spend where you can."
Uchiha Nan gave Nara Luyuan a series of instructions. Although the Konoha clan was large and profitable, this time the subsidy was for an entire large ninja village. The huge amount of money saved from the small expenses would amount to a very large sum.
"I will try to persuade Kakuzu."
Nara Luyuan smile. Kakuzu 100% opposed to the trade between Konoha and Sunagakure. Even if Nara Luyuan told Uchiha Nan about his plan, it wouldn't make a difference. A losing deal is a losing deal. Who can predict the future?
In the Ninja world, things often turn out Tenten, like throwing good money after bad. It's better to keep your money in your hands.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Nara Luyuan nodded, and just as he was about to go out, he heard a knocking sound outside the door, followed by a crisp sound.
"Lord Hokage!!"
Here we are again!
Tsunade pushed open the door without any regard for the fact that this was the Hokage Building. Over the past few days Uchiha Nan Jiraiya become quite familiar with Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.
Tsunade's easygoing personality, coupled with her already noble status, allowed her to enter and leave Uchiha Nan's office as easily as if she were going home.
"Tsunade, come here!"
"Uh-huh."
Uncle Lu Yuan!
"Tsunade... you're here again. Oh, right, if the Lord Hokage has nothing else, I'll be going now."
Nara Luyuan Teuchi Tsunade, and then saw Tsunade circling around Uchiha Nan.
Um?
Damn it!
Tsunade's gaze towards Uchiha Nan was strange; Nara Luyuan too many times. Although Uchiha Nan's private life was somewhat chaotic, and it was said that he had affairs with girls from the Hyuga Clan and Uzumaki Clan, these rumors circulated among the Konoha High Command, and even the common people of Konoha knew that Uchiha Nan had twin maids in his household.
Even so, Uchiha Nan's aura was simply too dazzling. Such an outstanding young man, bearing the responsibilities of Hokage, what's wrong with having two maids at home?
It's perfectly normal for young people to have physical desires, especially since Uchiha Nan is the Hokage, responsible for protecting Konoha. What if his unfulfilled desires lead to health problems?
Keeping two maids is nothing unusual. Such things are not a big deal among nobles, wealthy merchants, and ninja families.
The Lord Hokage did the right thing!
A great scholar once debated with Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan, listing out the reasons why he had to accept Daimyo daimyo's twin maids, explaining them logically and clearly.
Uchiha Nan's official wife is still undecided, and coupled with the dazzling aura surrounding Uchiha Nan, young girls from various ninja clans covet his body; such is the nature of youthful Uchiha Nan.
The young girl admired Uchiha Nan's discerning eye; Nara Luyuan many times and met quite a few Nara Clan.
Tsunade's eyes even flashed with desire, but the Lord Hokage didn't seem to notice. Never mind, it's best not to get involved in this. Just pretend you didn't see it. Nara Luyuan felt a sense of unease. What if Mito-sama found out about Tsunade for the Lord Hokage? Hiss. That's scary!
This place is no place to linger!
