"Why should your family get two percent of the shares?!"
"Gold? You dare not deserve it!"
"You're talking nonsense!!"
"You ask why? I've died several times already, risking my life alongside the Lord Hokage during the First Shinobi World War!" (Takes off clothes, revealing scars.)
"."
After the arms deal was unanimously approved, the next step was dividing the profits, which then led to endless wrangling. Those meager shares, even a fraction of a percent, would be enough to make the family behind them incredibly wealthy when dividends were distributed later.
If we don't fight for the family's interests now, when will we?
Uchiha Nan was used to this kind of scene. Every time Konoha wanted to start a new business, these high-ranking officials would argue fiercely, and it even devolved into deciding the amount of shares to be invested in through duels, purely Taijutsu battles.
The room next to the conference hall is temporarily serving as the dueling arena.
Konoha's grand stage—come and show your skills!
After the meeting, the high-ranking members returned to their families with bruised and battered faces. Those who won the boxing match were elated, while those who lost were dejected and planned to go home and train hard in physical martial Taijutsu!
Uchiha Nan was delighted with this, as it provided both entertainment and improved the Taijutsu skills of Konoha High Command —a win-win situation!
"Ahem, it seems you've all agreed on the shareholding ratios."
Uchiha Nan watched several exciting boxing matches, and several ninja clan Clan Head ended up with panda eyes and swollen mouths.
This is a real, deadly Teuchi!
However, the division of profits from the Konoha arms deal has finally come to an end.
"Next topic: Sky Ninja Village!"
Uchiha Nan waved his hand, and several Anbu ninjas appeared, distributing some intelligence documents from the Sky Ninja Village to the Konoha High Command present.
"Gentlemen, the Sky Ninja Village has great ambitions and has secretly researched weapons of mass destruction in an attempt to deal with Konoha. I think we should nip this in the bud."
The atmosphere at the meeting suddenly became heavy.
Looking at the intelligence in their hands, the Konoha high command felt a sense of absurdity. This little-known ninja village, which had only begun to show its strength in the last two years, actually dared to attack Konoha and challenge Konoha dominant position?
"What does the Lord Hokage mean?"
Hyuga Takuma looked at Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan asked for her opinion.
" Konoha needs to find a suitable opportunity to completely destroy the Sky Ninja Village."
Uchiha Nan's attitude was very direct: in order to obtain the Machine Tools, scientific and technological achievements, and a large number of technical personnel from the Sky Ninja Village, as well as his most important Mental Sauna Room.
The Sky Ninja Village must be destroyed!
" Lord Hokage, compared to the Sky Ninja Village to the north of Konoha, the Amegakure bordering the Land of Fire is Konoha's real threat. The Amegakure is stronger than ever before, and its size will soon be close to that of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."
"Moreover, the Sky Ninja Village is not like the Kusagakure. They are already fragmented and easy to defeat one by one. As for the Land of Rice Fields, they are not even as good as the Kusagakure. They don't even have a decent ninja village."
The Sky Ninja Village's strength has grown rapidly in the past two years, and its current power should not be underestimated. It possesses a well-organized ninja army and is said to have mastered flying ninja tools. Furthermore, the Sky Ninja Village is far from Konoha, making it very difficult to eliminate them quickly.
Toma Senju frowned. As a core member of Konoha's leadership, he knew more about the situation in the Ninja world.
If we consider the level of danger to Konoha, from a professional perspective, it is clear that Amegakure, which borders the Land of Fire, is the greater threat. Amegakure has been extremely aggressive in recent years, defeating and plundering many small ninja Amegakure.
The Sky Ninja Village isn't worth Konoha making such a big fuss about.
"Yes."
"Starting a war now would be extremely costly. Konoha has always been a peace-loving village."
" The Amegakure is the Konoha."
"."
The meeting room erupted in discussion. The Konoha leadership believed that the danger posed by the Sky Ninja Village was still enough to warrant Konoha initiating a war.
War is dangerous and costly, requiring both money and manpower. But now Konoha is thriving, and you can make money simply by doing business from home.
The Sky Ninja Village has not yet shown any ambition towards Konoha. If Konoha were to suddenly launch an attack, it would damage Konoha's reputation.
Uchiha Nan sighed; he had anticipated this situation.
Now is definitely not a good time to eliminate the Sky Ninja Village. In the next year or two, we still need to prepare for the war with the Kumogakure. If we try to divide our forces to eliminate the Sky Ninja Village, it is very likely to drag Konoha into a quagmire of war and continuously deplete its health.
That would be counterproductive.
Uchiha Nan couldn't tell these higher-ups everything about the Mental Sauna Room project.
This project definitely needs a scapegoat. ( Danzo, I miss you.)
Uchiha Nan also wanted a flawless reputation for life!
The reason for bringing up the Sky Ninja Village Sky Ninja Village the meeting is simply to make the higher-ups in Konoha wary of it.
Once the Kumogakure is dealt with, if the Sky Ninja Village has any small-scale conflict with Konoha, Uchiha Nan will have an excuse to directly send troops to attack the Sky Ninja Village.
"Since you all disagree, we'll discuss this later, but I'll make this clear upfront: if the Sky Ninja Village ever clashes with Konoha, Konoha one Konoha ninja dies, I will eliminate them all!"
Uchiha Nan surveyed the entire room and said coldly.
If there is no conflict, conflict can be created; imitating the old story of the Han Dynasty envoy is not difficult.
After Uchiha Nan finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room, leaving the Konoha High Command looking at each other in bewilderment.
What exactly did the Sky Ninja Village do to offend the Lord Hokage?
Two months later
Hokage Building
"The empty streetscape makes me want to find someone to pour my emotions into. Making this decision is because loneliness is my neighbor. Our love is like the scenery you pass by, always going on, but your steps never stop for me."
"My love for you has always been quiet, in exchange for the occasional care you give me. It's clearly a movie for three, yet I'm never given a name."
Uchiha Nan sat in his office as usual, watching the newly released TV series, the Ninja world version of Chinese Paladin. The series was directed by the two great directors who had been working with Konoha for a long time. When writing the script during the New Year, Uchiha Nan had communicated with them for a long time.
Looking back, it was definitely worth the time!
Although Uchiha Nan already knew the general plot, she still waited for the new episode to air on time.
The theme song of the TV series was also played throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha.
Sipping an iced cola, enjoying the air conditioning, and snacking while watching TV in the office, Uchiha Nan felt as if he had returned to Earth before his transmigration.
Of course, the time he could relax and lie down didn't last long. When it was time for work in the afternoon, Nara Luyuan knocked on Uchiha Nan's office door as usual.
Uchiha Nan could only turn off the TV and return to his desk.
" Lord Hokage, this is wonderful news!"
"The price of Exploding Tag has been driven down by Konoha!"
"Those small ninja villages that hoarded Exploding Tag hoping to profit from them are probably going to lose everything this time!"
Nara Luyuan said excitedly, his face beaming with undisguised excitement.
Exploding Tag are a form of hard currency in the Ninja world, holding considerable value. In times of tension, they can be resold for a high price, allowing many small ninja villages to profit from them. This kind of business is one of the few ways for small ninja villages to make money.
Having spent so much time by Uchiha Nan's side, Nara Luyuan has also learned a lot about economics.
Nara Luyuan first spread rumors throughout the Ninja world that Konoha was stockpiling Exploding Tag as war supplies. Smaller ninja villages widely believed that Konoha's actions were clearly significant, and wondered if a major war was about to break out in the Ninja world.
Some small ninja villages were acting out of self-preservation, while others were stockpiling Exploding Tag to sell at high prices later. The price of Exploding Tag began to soar. Even the Ninja world world felt uneasy, as if a storm was brewing.
Konoha, on the other hand, secretly sold off their stockpiled Exploding Tag, making a fortune.
Then, on a sunny afternoon, Konoha unveiled its latest product—the hand grenade!
The price was less than half that of the Exploding Tag, but the power was no less than that of the Exploding Tag. Most importantly, the quantity was large, Konoha's accumulated production capacity began to come into play, directly supplying the entire Ninja world.
The price of Exploding Tag plummeted three times in one day. Although grenades cannot completely replace Exploding Tag Exploding Tag, they are no longer the valuable assets they once were.
At the new product launch event in Konoha, representatives from many small ninja villages were present, and they watched as the power of the hand grenade was no less than that of the Exploding Tag.
The boxes and warehouses full of grenades that Konoha had stockpiled shattered their last psychological defenses.
Damn it!
Damn Konoha!!
They're going to lose money on their underwear!
The village's cash flow was completely cut off!
Anyone in business knows how important a company's cash flow is. Even large companies with hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in capital can go bankrupt due to a break in cash flow.
The same principle applies to ninja villages!
"It's over!!"
"It's over!!!"
" Konoha, I'll fight you to the death!"
At the press conference, an unknown junior ninja, in a moment of madness, attacked Konoha ninja and was immediately killed, his blood splattering everywhere.
The remaining ninja from the small village instantly calmed down.
This is Konoha!!
Even if the lofty and powerful Konoha openly exploits smaller ninja villages, the smaller ones can only swallow their anger and resentment.
This is the beacon of the Ninja world!
But then again, it all boils down to their greed!
" Nara Luyuan, how can I put it? The lives of even a small ninja village matter."
This will not be repeated!
With a smile on his face, Uchiha Nan took the information from Nara Luyuan's hand.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Nara Luyuan gave Uchiha Nan a perfunctory salute, and both of them were in a good mood at the moment.
Cutting leeks is so fun!
"Besides the orders from the ninja village, Daimyo and nobles from various countries have also ordered a lot of hand grenades!"
Looking at the data in his hand, Uchiha Nan discovered that nearly a third of the grenade orders came from Daimyo, nobles, and merchants in the Ninja world.
" Lord Hokage, the destructive power of a grenade is in no way inferior to that of Exploding Tag, and now that there are no Chakra restrictions, ordinary people can use it."
Moreover, in the Ninja world, hiring a ninja is not cheap.
Uchiha Nan nodded. Konoha's weapons not only met the Ninja world's demand for " Exploding Tag," but also filled the gap in this market for ordinary people.
Ordinary people in the Ninja world also have a strong desire to buy grenades, after all, ordinary people want to protect themselves in this chaotic Ninja world. Facing ninjas who can kill ordinary people with ease, just taking out a grenade can make the ninjas hesitate to use it.
Although netizens in the past jokingly said that explosive tags couldn't kill people, their Exploding Tag record was remarkable. Nawaki, the Hashirama Senju of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Nawaki, was killed by Exploding Tag.
Nawaki was quite strong at the time; he was practically invincible at the Chunin level and could even briefly fight Jonin. However, he still perished in the trap set by the Exploding Tag.
"What about the En'yo Ninja Village in the Land of Mountains? How are they doing?"
Uchiha Nan shifted into a more comfortable position in the chair, picked up the iced cola on the table, and asked as he drank it.
"Heavy losses!"
" The En'yo Ninja Village profited from this during the First Shinobi World War, and this time they fell for it easily. According to intelligence from spies planted within the En'yo Ninja Village En'yo Ninja Village, they misappropriated most of the funds to stockpile Exploding Tag, and now the village's cash flow has been cut off."
"The higher-ups of the En'yo Ninja Village are attacking each other, which might trigger an internal conflict, and they might even do something foolish in desperation!"
Nara Luyuan's face revealed caution. He had indeed gone too far this time, offending a whole bunch of small ninja villages. If it weren't for Konoha's backing, he would have been blown to bits by the massive number of Exploding Tag long ago.
Having been exploited and driven to madness, the small ninja village was more than willing to send its assassins, covered in Exploding Tag, to send Nara Luyuan, the culprit, to the Pure Land to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
"We definitely have to be on guard. I've already given instructions to Uchiha Tomita."
Uchiha Nan nodded. Konoha had taken on a large portion of the arms deal this time.
The business of Exploding Tag has supported countless ninjas.
The livelihoods of millions of canal workers depend on this; this is no joke.
However, there is no gain without loss. For Konoha, these are just minor inconveniences, nothing serious. Although Uchiha Nan was somewhat worried, he didn't really take them to heart.
"By the way, Lu Yuan, remember to contact those small ninja villages that suffered heavy losses. Konoha can provide them with loan services, although the interest rate is a bit high. But I believe they will agree, and this money can help them get through this difficult time."
"Also, remember to add to the loan agreement that the Konoha company must establish a presence in their ninja village."
Furthermore, if the loan cannot be repaid on time, village assets will be used.
And the annual purchase of Konoha production
Okay, that's about it. If there's anything missing, please remember to add it for me.
As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, Nara Luyuan Uchiha Nan at him with admiration. After harvesting the first batch of leeks, the Lord Hokage was actually planning to harvest them again?
" Lord Hokage, I still have a lot to learn from you!"
Nara Luyuan looked at Uchiha Nan with sincere admiration.
"Hey, I just want these small ninja villages to get through this difficult time, so they won't resort to desperate measures."
Uchiha Nan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't understand what Nara Luyuan was saying.
