The Things Konoha People Could Never Live Without: Pledging Loyalty to the Hokage and Paying Taxes!

" Lu Yuan, this kind of thing will definitely become more and more common in the future!"

" Konoha will become the center of the entire Ninja world, attracting the highest-caliber talent from across the entire Ninja world."

"The workload for reviewing is too much, so let's use Shadow Clone."

"If we don't have enough manpower, then we'll hire more."

Uchiha Nan listened to Nara Luyuan's complaints but didn't take them to heart.

It's just a happy complaint.

Neither the First Hokage nor Tobirama Senju accomplished something like this.

Signing a peace agreement required Hashirama Senju to publicly perform a kowtow.

These are all good things.

"However, speaking of which, the standards for Konoha's green card application can be raised now. Konoha doesn't need ninjas who only know how to fight anymore, especially Genin. We need to select ninjas with talent and room for growth. It would be even better if they possessed advanced secret techniques or Kekkei Genkai."

" Lord Hokage, your standards are way too high."

Nara Luyuan gave a wry smile.

Currently, most of the ninjas who have defected from the four major ninja villages to Konoha are Genin, who are considered peripheral figures in their respective villages. Jonin are extremely rare ninjas.

Those ninjas who possess advanced secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai in the four major ninja villages are almost all from ninja clans, and their status and position in the ninja villages are incomparable to those of ordinary junior Genin.

They are highly sought after wherever they go.

Even if you don't come to Konoha, you can still do very well in the Ninja world.

You can become a king or tyrant even in a remote, impoverished place.

Even among ninjas who defected from the four great ninja villages and came to Konoha, it would be difficult to find someone like this.

After all, this is defection, which is extremely risky.

The meeting will be held at the ninja village with wanted posters. Each ninja village will have a special department to hunt down these rogue ninjas.

Furthermore, even if these ninjas came to Konoha, they wouldn't be trusted by the Konoha's higher-ups.

After all, nobody likes a traitor.

"That means Konoha's publicity efforts are inadequate!"

" Konoha's propaganda front must be constantly pushed forward; if we don't occupy it, others will."

As the saying goes.

The people are not afraid of death, so why threaten them with death?

The quality of life in Konoha is so good.

The treatment of ninjas from other ninja villages is so poor!

Ninjas from other villages who can't stand their village's exploitation will definitely run away!

"The most important thing is to give the ninjas an excuse to sneak into Konoha."

"We must ignite in their hearts a longing for a better life in Konoha Konoha is the beacon of the Ninja world!"

"Take promotional slogans for example. We can promote them like this..."

" Konoha is making progress?"

"And you?"

"You can't stop ninjas from heading to better ninja villages, can you?"

Uchiha Nan casually uttered a few promotional slogans, which left Nara Luyuan speechless.

That makes so much sense!

The Lord Hokage truly cultured!

Nara Luyuan took out his pen and immediately wrote down these words on his writing board.

"Furthermore, our propaganda efforts shouldn't be limited to short essays in Yilin magazine; we also need to work hard on emerging film and television media, such as movies and TV series, to showcase the best and most positive aspects of Konoha."

The US uses this tactic to siphon off elite talent from Earth.

Uchiha Nan hasn't forgotten a single thing!

Konoha's remote farming methods are still far behind America's.

After all, Konoha can't do that right now.

A wealthy villager from Iwagakure sold all his possessions and resolutely went to Konoha to work as an undocumented laborer.

But if you have to copy the homework, you absolutely must copy it!

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Luyuan nodded.

Of course.

"Our Konoha film company must produce excellent movies. We can't just promote for the sake of promotion; we must be careful how we present our own agendas when we mix in our own agendas."

"We absolutely cannot make bad movies!"

There are several principles to follow when making a film.

"Artists must be cultured, directors must know how to make movies, screenwriters must write good scripts, and actors must know how to act."

Uchiha Nan added a few more words.

He didn't want to ruin the reputation of Konoha Film Company.

" Lord Hokage, isn't that you they're talking about?"

"Not only is he cultured, but he's also an excellent director and a superb screenwriter!"

Nara Luyuan listened to Uchiha Nan's explanation of several principles for making movies.

I just felt like everything the Lord Hokage said was nonsense.

but

This did not prevent Nara Luyuan to curry favor with Uchiha Nan.

" Lu Yuan, you really want to improve!"

Uchiha Nan grinned.

Nara Luyuan -- Loyalty!

Flattery. It sounds so nice!

"However, to be honest, I do have a pretty good script in my head right now."

Uchiha Nan recalled an interesting scenario, coupled with Konoha's current strength and status.

If it were made into a movie, it would definitely be a great success!

" Lord Hokage, what do you say?"

"The story is set in a small country in the Ninja world, where a civil war has broken out."

"The villagers and merchants of Konoha were unfortunately caught up in this civil war and stranded near the battlefield."

"There was only one Konoha Ninja nearby on a mission. In order to protect the villagers of Konoha, Konoha Ninja Uchiha immediately chose to charge into the battlefield alone."

"After a series of battles..."

" Uchiha Lengfeng finally found the surviving villagers and merchants, but the civil war in the small country intensified. Finally, in the middle of the standoff, at a critical moment, Uchiha raised his Konoha Forehead Protector and walked between the two sides. Upon seeing the Konoha Forehead Protector, both sides immediately ceased fire."

"Ultimately Uchiha successfully led the surviving villagers and merchants of Konoha out of the country."

Uchiha Nan gave a general overview of the script's plot.

This film will fully showcase the sense of mission and responsibility of the Konoha Ninja, their powerful heroism and personal courage, as well as the humanitarian spirit of Konoha.

Most importantly, it showcased the strength of Konoha!

The Nara Luyuan, nodding repeatedly.

A Konoha Forehead Protector is enough to bring both sides to a truce, and then they will obediently give way to the Konoha Ninja.

When Uchiha Nan described this scene, Nara Luyuan instantly recalled the words engraved on the back of the Konoha Forehead Protector.

"No matter where you are in the Ninja world, the powerful Konoha Village will always be your strongest support. Remember, you are a glorious Konoha Ninja!!"

That's so exciting!

"This is truly an excellent script!"

"Don't rush to praise me, I haven't finished yet."

"At last."

"Let's put the words engraved on the back of the Konoha Forehead Protector at the end of the movie, that would be so effective."

" Lord Hokage, brilliant!"

Nara Luyuan praised the script's content, sparing no words of praise.

"But what if that really happens?"

"We, the ninjas of Konoha, are wearing Konoha Forehead Protector, but they're useless."

However, once Nara Luyuan excitement wore off, he couldn't help but bring the movie into reality.

If a Konoha Ninja actually took out their Forehead Protector in real life and ended up getting riddled with bullets, wouldn't Konoha lose face terribly?

"Hmph, if such an ungrateful fellow really appears, they'd better make sure things are handled very cleanly, so cleanly that not a single word gets out."

"Once I find out..."

"Then I will personally dispatch a team of Konoha Jonin to the homes of those ignorant fools and use Kunai to teach them the lesson of being too far from the Sage of Six Paths and too close to Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan finished speaking and revealed a sinister smile.

After listening, Nara Luyuan nodded sincerely.

He simply liked the Uchiha's way of doing things.

So refreshing!

The Senju sect is really lame!

They can't make money, yet they still have to reason with others!

" Lu Yuan, since you also think it's acceptable..."

"I'll take some time these next couple of days to write out the script outline. I've even thought of a name for the movie: Konoha Wolf Warriors!"

"The main character will be a handsome young man from the Uchiha."

Uchiha Nan still intended to give the opportunity to show his face to the Uchiha.

We should keep the good stuff within the family.

Nara Luyuan nodded in agreement, showing no objection to Uchiha Nan's choice of actor.

The Uchiha clan members are indeed handsome and exceptionally skilled in combat.

This movie is a war film, not a romance film; the most important thing is that it's action-packed.

The image of the Uchiha matches the image of the main characters in the movie very well.

"I'll handle the script issue; the rest is up to you."

"Director, venue, publicity."

"Ah, Lord Hokage, why is it still me?"

Nara Luyuan's eyes widened.

Why do I have another task to do?

"The capable should do more; time is tight and the task is heavy!"

"I believe this movie will definitely attract more people from the Ninja world to Konoha!"

"Do you know that Konoha has a huge labor shortage? You've been saying all along that Konoha is short of people."

Who are the most ambitious people in Konoha right now?

"They're just people who just arrived in Konoha. Because they don't have official Konoha status, they can only work with temporary identification. They're the most hardworking and capable laborers."

"Enduring the most hardship and earning the least money"

"I'm hoping to work here for five, ten, or twenty years, so I can obtain legal status in Konoha and then settle down and live Konoha."

Uchiha Nan said this, while Nara Luyuan nodded helplessly to the side.

That's exactly the situation.

Konoha is expanding very rapidly, and there is a persistent labor shortage.

After all, the more cheap labor the Konoha factory has, the better.

The Ninja world has been in chaos for the past two years, with prices soaring, especially for food. People fleeing to Konoha can find work in factories, where at least they can have enough to eat and a safe place to sleep.

Uchiha Nan was truly a great philanthropist.

They couldn't bear to see people starving to death in Konoha, the most benevolent place in the Ninja world.

but

The refugees who have fled to Konoha now are not as fortunate as those who fled to Konoha in the past.

Official status in Konoha is no longer as easy to obtain as it was in the past few years.

In the initial, brutal expansion phase, Konoha was still licking the wounds left by the First Shinobi World War, a place ravaged and in dire need of rebuilding.

Konoha wants anyone who is willing to come to Konoha, willing to contribute Konoha labor, and capable of working.

In order to obtain a large number of cheap laborers, Konoha actively recruited refugees from the Ninja world, and even sent out ninja teams to escort them.

so.

At that time, the requirements for obtaining official Konoha status were not high.

Every month, you just need to take your payslip to the relevant department in Konoha to get it stamped.

The term is three years.

When the time comes, you can officially become a member of Konoha.

The very first batch.

You can also find free wooden houses to live in when you come to Konoha.

Now that I've come to Konoha, I have no choice but to rent a place myself.

They didn't even have the chance to live on the streets.

The Konoha Police Force will not allow anything that endangers the public safety of Konoha to happen.

So if you don't have money to rent a house, you can only go to factories or construction sites, live in dormitories, and contribute your labor to Konoha.

As Konoha's various systems gradually improved and the quality of life continued to rise, all sorts of propaganda about Konoha spread throughout the Ninja world.

Although Konoha still suffers from a shortage of cheap labor, just like before, Konoha no longer needs to actively recruit refugees.

The refugees will come to Konoha on their own.

Everyone wants to live in Konoha!

Obtaining proof of Konoha's identity has become significantly more difficult.

Not only has the time limit been extended.

The requirements have also become higher.

If you want to live in Konoha, you have to dedicate more of your youth to Konoha.

Of course. And there's also paying taxes.

Uchiha Nan has been continuously pouring money into public services to improve the living environment of Konoha, enhance the quality of life for Konoha, and ensure Konoha various welfare benefits.

If the villagers don't pay taxes, where does the money come from?

Factories and businesses don't pay taxes, so why should Konoha's ninjas protect their safety?

Those Ninja world nobles and wealthy merchants who came to Konoha took advantage of Konoha's favorable conditions, utilizing Konoha market, technology, manpower, and safe environment to rapidly accumulate vast amounts of wealth.

These factories and businesses will have to pay heavy taxes!

Anyone who doesn't pay taxes is a heinous criminal!

Taxation has become a major pillar of Konoha's finances.

Fortunately

Most of the villagers in Konoha are law-abiding good people; only a small number are bad.

However, those bad guys who try to evade taxes will be invited to the Anbu by the Anbu ninjas led by Kakuzu.

Even if the ninja clan stood behind them, it wouldn't matter.

Kakuzu, he only cares about money, not people.

He dared to rush up and collect taxes even on properties owned by the Uchiha.

Uchiha Nan admired most about Kakuzu was this!

" Lord Hokage, it's me."

"Yes"

Nara Luyuan a pained expression, ultimately accepted the task.

Fortunately, this matter wasn't troublesome.

All you need to do is contact those directors that Konoha has been working with; they are all renowned and excellent directors from the Land of Fire.

Let them handle the filming process.

The only slightly troublesome part is the later publicity and promotion, which requires Nara Luyuan to coordinate with multiple departments.

After all, this is a movie starring the Lord Hokage, so the promotional team has to be huge.

There aren't actually many things to do.

Nara Luyuan doesn't want to do it!

That's incredibly disloyal!
