Tobirama Senju: Uchiha Nan, you can do something like this and still call yourself human?

Alas, gold is easy to obtain, but a true friend is hard to find!

" Tobirama, although you've always targeted the Uchiha, I used to firmly believe you were a smart person who could understand what I wanted to do and comprehend my ambitions. But now it seems you're no different from those mediocre ninjas in Konoha."

Uchiha Nan was there, pretending to sigh and lament.

"I do not understand!"

"Why are you always thinking about the Zero-Tailed Beast ' destructive power? Is that all you've seen in the Zero-Tailed Beast? Does the mighty Konoha really need this half-baked artificial Tailed Beast to save face?"

Tobirama Senju's expression had turned a deep purplish-red. He sensed a strong arrogance emanating from Uchiha Nan, whose arrogant gaze looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush!"

Tobirama Senju gritted teeth.

"I've said before that Zero-Tailed Beast can absorb negative human emotions and create Chakra. I don't know which genius from the Sky Ninja Village invented this secret technique, but I would call it magnificent!"

" Chakra has always been a scarce energy source. Konoha's one Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is simply not enough, and now even ordinary people's emotions can be converted into Chakra."

As Uchiha Nan was speaking Tobirama Senju length, Uchiha Nan noticed something was amiss and interrupted him.

" The Zero-Tailed Beast needs negative emotions to convert them into Chakra. Do you intend to create large-scale slaughter like the Sky Ninja Village?"

Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju with a hint of disdain. How could someone as shrewd as him be so muddle-headed at a crucial moment?

"That's precisely what makes Zero-Tailed Beast technology so great!"

"Once you completely decipher Zero-Tailed Beast's technology, we can mass-produce Mental Sauna Room. There is just too much suffering in this world."

The cattle and horses of Konoha constantly accumulate various negative emotions such as jealousy, resentment, anger, and hatred. The Zero-Tailed Beast ' technology can absorb these negative emotions and purify their hearts.

"Especially the 'oxen and horses' in sweatshops, once they get used to the comfortable life, they naturally forget the difficulties they experienced in the past, and become full of complaints when faced with heavy work, and may even forget my kindness one day. But as long as they have a mental sauna every now and then, they can throw themselves into their work with full energy the next day."

"Not only that, I think the employees of the Hokage Building have developed too many negative emotions due to long hours and overtime. What if one day they can't stand the 'blessings' of 007 and hang me from a streetlight, cough cough cough? So they should also get a regular mental health boost!"

"This is truly ingenious. It allows cattle and horses to release their labor peacefully, while simultaneously generating Chakra to convert into electricity."

A single investment yields enormous profits! A single investment yields enormous profits!

Uchiha Nan's shadow was stretched long in the dim light, like the silhouette of a demon.

"You... you... you're not even human?!"

Tobirama Senju's face was filled with horror. He really was a born evil Uchiha brat!

Were all the Uchiha members who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan throughout history as having such extraordinary neural pathways as Uchiha Nan?

Evil, so incredibly evil!

This is practically raising slaves! Did Uchiha Nan really treat the Konoha and the people of the Ninja world as human beings?

What's wrong with me?

"This world is so cruel. If the negative emotions accumulated in the hearts of cattle and horses cannot be released in time, do you know how much harm this can cause?"

"By shedding worldly trappings and returning to simplicity, allowing one's mind and body to enter a state of sagehood, how many people would be willing to pay to create value for Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan rubbed his fingers together with his right hand, looking shrewd and calculating. Tobirama Senju the other hand, felt a sense of fear, realizing that Uchiha Nan's future was truly unpredictable.

I'm really worried that you'll end up being hanged in the future.

Tobirama Senju looked worried; Uchiha Nan's wildly imaginative ideas would eventually backfire.

"Tch, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? I'm doing this all for Konoha."

Tobirama, your awareness is far too low.

For Tobirama Senju, Tobirama Senju did not refute Uchiha Nan's words, admitting defeat in terms of exploiting surplus value.

"However, Tobirama, I think your consideration has some merit. I can then publicly claim that this is a secret technique and guidance left behind by you."

Uchiha Nan touched his bald chin. "Such a despicable thing, it's really easy for others to blame me for it. Maybe I should just push it all onto Tobirama Senju."

Since Tobirama Senju is already dead, it's quite reasonable for Uchiha Nan to pull out such a "powerful" secret technique from the Forbidden Scroll. After all, Tobirama Senju's reputation as a master of forbidden techniques is well-known among the ninja clans of Konoha. He was known for his love of researching evil and unethical forbidden techniques, and he once used Impure World Reincarnation ninjas as suicide bombers without any scruples during the First Shinobi World War.

"Bullshit! Don't try to pin this stupid thing like childbirth on me!"

Tobirama Senju was furious, this was no joke!

"But you've been a virgin your whole life, so where did this son come from!"

"That won't do! You can't ruin my flawless reputation after my death!"

Tobirama Senju threatened Uchiha Nan with a strike, leaving Uchiha Nan with no choice but to give up. He then handed the matter over to Kakuzu, Kakuzu was willing to do anything for money as long as there were excess profits. The "Mental Sauna Room" project was essentially a zero-cost money-making project once the technical issues were resolved.

"Then it's decided. You'll be responsible for resolving the technical issues related to Zero-Tailed Beast."

Uchiha Nan patted Tobirama Senju on the shoulder, signaling him to work hard. His own task was to destroy the Sky Ninja Village Sky Ninja Village and transport all of its scientific research results back to Konoha.

"Hmph, I know."

Tobirama Senju a soft hum, which was taken as agreeing to Uchiha Nan's request.

The "Mental Sauna Room" project is well worth Uchiha Nan's time and effort.

After all, constantly exploiting the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to Chakra is not a sustainable strategy.

Konoha purchases ninja Chakra as an energy source, but this is only a drop in the bucket when faced with ever-increasing electricity demand.

If we spend huge sums of money to buy coal, the cost of generating electricity would be far too high.

Therefore, the Sky Ninja Village must be taken down.

However, figuring out a reasonable excuse to send troops against the Sky Ninja Village was a real headache for Uchiha Nan.

Konoha has always valued peace and would endure as much as possible, almost always passively taking hits before launching a counterattack.

This is the mark left by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju Konoha. Even Uchiha Nan often uses this mark for packaging.

Uchiha Nan doesn't mind actively breaking this principle. He's always been a pragmatist, and as long as there's enough benefit, occasionally crossing his bottom line isn't a big deal. Bottom lines are fine to be flexible with!

But the high-ranking officials of Konoha will probably oppose him again!

I wonder if the Han envoy's method will be effective?

A few days later

Uchiha Nan held a high-level meeting as usual.

Uchiha Nan sat at the head of the table, quietly listening to the work reports from the higher-ups.

Most of them were trivial and tedious matters. For example, the Konoha Academy's expenditures exceeded its budget again, and the Ministry of Finance criticized the Ministry of Education for being extravagant.

The Ministry of Education presented Uchiha Nan's imperial edict—"No matter how hard things are, we can't let the children suffer. Everything they do is for the sake of Konoha's future generations. Training an elite ninja costs a lot of money, and with so many exchange students Lord Hokage just waved his hand and they all enrolled. When calculating the budget at the beginning of the year, no one expected..."

A group of exchange students also came from the Land of Grass to train the dogs of Konoha, cough cough, to become the seeds of the Grass Ninja under the leadership of Konoha.

Is this still the Lord Hokage's fault?

The Ministry of Finance fell silent and abandoned the discussion on this topic.

Then came the distribution of profits from the factory expansion, the serious waste of the train project, and the Ministry of Science and Technology. Tobirama bought a large sum of experimental materials and expanded the TV station base station.

Small groups of civilian ninjas and large ninja clans in Konoha, dealing with financial transactions, personnel transfers, and competition for interests among various departments.

In short, they're all related to money.

Orochimaru, as the person in charge of the train project, participated in a high-level meeting for the first time. His idealized image of Konoha High Command's leadership was shattered. He then enthusiastically joined the wrangling over funding. The civil engineering budget was never enough.

The Ministry of Finance was locked in a heated debate with a group of scholars, arguing incessantly. As Konoha's purse, responsible for managing the inflow and outflow of funds, every meeting was always marred by arguments over various funding issues.

Uchiha Nan sat silently in his chair, listening.

He somewhat missed Kakuzu's time in Konoha. As the de facto head of the Ministry of Finance, he always handled financial matters meticulously, even keeping accounts accurate to four decimal places. It was virtually impossible for him to embezzle or engage in corruption; Kakuzu would investigate thoroughly.

Now that Kakuzu has gone out to do something important, the Ministry of Finance is in a bit of a mess, scrambling to get things done. Without a doubt, there are some scoundrels causing trouble, but Uchiha Nan is too lazy to bother with it.

"Water that is too clear has no fish." Anyway, after Kakuzu returns, given his personality, he will definitely be checking the accounts day and night, and he will drag anyone with suspicious accounts to the Anbu for discussion.

If you dared to embezzle and managed to hide it from Kakuzu's watchful eye, then you can keep the money. It's money you earned through hard work. If you're discovered, Konoha has its own methods of punishment; Uchiha Nan doesn't need to worry about that.

"Ahem, are you all done arguing?"

About two hours later, the higher-ups were hoarse from arguing and had pretty much finished discussing everything that needed to be discussed.

As soon as Uchiha Nan spoke, everyone sat up straight, waiting for the Lord Hokage to speak.

"The Ministry of Science and Technology has developed another new technology!"

The Uchiha Nan spoke, everyone's eyes lit up. Was the Minister of Science and Technology going to make them rich again?

Konoha's current achievements are inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology. All the profitable projects are technically supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The legend of the Minister of Science and Technology has been circulating among the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

" The Ninja world's Number One Scientist"

"A genius who surpasses the Second Hokage!"

"A pillar of Konoha!"

It's a pity that the mysterious Minister of Science and Technology has yet to appear; otherwise, all the high-ranking officials in Konoha would have to respectfully address him as "Minister!"

Information about the Minister of Science and Technology is extremely scarce. Nobody knows the Minister's identity. All that is known is that the Minister has always lived in the Uchiha clan's territory, and his laboratory is surrounded by layers upon layers of the Lord Hokage's confidants.

The Lord Hokage said that the new railway project manager was Uchiha Nan, the Disciple of the Minister of Science and Technology. This gave Orochimaru, a huge backer, allowing him to become a high-ranking official in Konoha at a young age without any achievements.

Despite the high-ups' relentless bombardment and various attempts to Orochimaru Orochimaru, they couldn't extract a single useful piece of information from him. What a reckless fool.

The higher-ups had different thoughts and waited for Uchiha Nan to say next.

Uchiha Nan pulled out the latest weapons, including grenades and landmines.

"The Ministry of Science and Technology has invented a weapon that can replace Exploding Tag. It does not require Chakra to use, and its manufacturing method is simpler and faster than that of Exploding Tag. Ordinary people can make it, yet its power is in no way inferior to that of Exploding Tag."

"The cost is three to five times cheaper than Exploding Tag. Once the production line is deployed and mass production begins, the cost will decrease further."

"."

Uchiha Nan explained the grenade, and the Konoha High Command officials and clan leaders visibly became excited.

They're going to make a fortune!

Everyone knows how troublesome it is to produce Exploding Tag, which makes them incredibly expensive. Now, finally, a weapon has appeared that can replace Exploding Tag.

If Konoha had mastered this weapon First Shinobi World War, Konoha casualties would have been significantly reduced. In a war of attrition, a veritable meat grinder, at crucial moments, even if you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy Exploding Tag, especially for low- to mid-level ninjas. When their Chakra was insufficient, they could only rely on shuriken and Kunai for Shuriken- to-hand combat. If they had pulled out a stack of Exploding Tag, the goddess of victory would undoubtedly have lifted her skirt in their favor.

They are inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Once mass-produced, the combat power and survival rate of Konoha Ninja will be greatly improved.

"Everyone, I'm going to destroy the market for Exploding Tag and let Konoha monopolize this lucrative prize."

Uchiha Nan crossed his fingers, surveyed the Konoha High Command- ranking officials present, and then slowly spoke.

" Lord Hokage, the Hyuga Clan has ample funds and is willing to invest in our grenade factory!"

" Lord Hokage, the Senju Clan also has ample funds; we'll follow suit!"

"I want to vote too!"

"Me too!!"

Every business under Konoha's control is a money-printing machine. If we don't keep up with the Lord Hokage's pace, we'll just be throwing away opportunities to make money!

Moreover, this involves their area of expertise. No one understands the impact of grenades on the Exploding Tag market better than them. A price cut of half means huge profits, and with virtually unlimited supply, this will surely devastate the Exploding Tag market.

Monopoly! This is a monopoly! The higher-ups of Konoha have unconsciously followed the Lord Hokage's progress over the past two years, learning new vocabulary from Lord Hokage and understanding just how captivating this word is.

Uchiha Nan revealed a satisfied smile. Konoha is meant to be the beacon of the Ninja world; without selling weapons, its character would always be lacking!
