Oh No, I've Become Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"I have a proposal regarding Konoha's tight budget!"

"The plan is a bit complicated; there's too little space here for me to write it down."

I can only give a general outline of the approach!

Uchiha Nan explained his idea, and the previously noisy conference room immediately fell silent.

What an amazing idea!

Those present recalled Uchiha Nan's recent actions after becoming Hokage. First, he dealt a blow to the ninja clan, then forcibly pried a piece of flesh from their mouths to feed Konoha, which had already greatly displeased the ninja clan.

I heard that Uchiha Nan also received a gift from the Daimyo: a pair of twin girls.

Now another naive and insane idea has been proposed.

Uchiha Nan, he doesn't look like a ruler at all!

Futures? Never even heard of them!

Is it reliable?

That's definitely not reliable!

The Clan Head and other high-ranking members present had all been ninjas their entire lives, accustomed to the lifestyle of completing missions and earning rewards, and instinctively resisted this new phenomenon.

The elderly are naturally conservative and tend to prefer things they are familiar with; not everyone is like Tobirama Senju, with a strong capacity for acceptance.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the price of pig iron is bound to skyrocket. You're thinking of buying at the bottom and then selling when prices are high, but if the war escalates out of control again, will you still be able to buy it back?

This concerns the life and death of Konoha; it's no child's play!

The crowd exchanged glances, none of them uttering a sound. No one wanted to rashly challenge the Hokage's authority and become the first to do so.

"Enough!"

Mito Uzumaki shouted, interrupting Uchiha Nan who was speaking.

Konoha is not your toy!

"I've never even heard of futures trading. Whether you can make money is secondary. Konoha's most important task right now is dealing with the war. A ninja's duty is to complete missions perfectly. If you want to do business, you can choose to become a merchant!"

"Your current identity is the Third Hokage of Konoha!"

"Now that you know who you are, your whole plan is just wishful thinking!"

"."

Mito Uzumaki showed no mercy to Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan, launching into a tirade of insults at him.

Mito Uzumaki's strength, status, and position mean she has no reason to worry about Uchiha Nan's retaliation.

Konoha was the life's work of her husband, Hashirama Senju, and Mito Uzumaki would absolutely not tolerate Uchiha Nan's recklessness.

Damn it, are you really going to give me no face at all?

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed, but he wasn't too angry inside.

Mito Uzumaki acted out of selflessness, entirely for the sake of Konoha, and besides, she was unaware of the future course of the war.

The current situation is heading towards a major war, and no one except myself knows that this war will end soon. It will be a complete anticlimactic and hasty conclusion. Even if I told them, they wouldn't believe me.

However, I am the Hokage, I can't just let this go, otherwise what kind of boss will I be in the future!

"Uchiha Tomita, 'invite' Mito Uzumaki out!"

Uchiha Nan shouted, ordering Uchiha Tomita to immediately kick Mito Uzumaki out of the meeting room.

Sitting to the side, Uchiha Tomita hesitated. He was not optimistic about Uchiha Nan's proposal either, and sincerely hoped that Mito Uzumaki could persuade Uchiha Nan to back down.

"Clan Head."

Uchiha Tomita tried to persuade him.

"Shut up!"

"We weigh plants while working!"

Call me Lord Hokage!

"Execute the command!"

Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Tomita with icy eyes. "If you don't support me now, are you planning a rebellion?"

"Yes!"

"Lord Hokage!"

Uchiha Tomita immediately realized what was happening, waved his hand to summon several Anbu members, walked up to Mito Uzumaki, and said expressionlessly:

"Mito-sama, I'm sorry to offend you!"

Mito Uzumaki was then lifted up by members of the Anbu, who planned to "invite" Mito Uzumaki out of the meeting room.

"Uchiha Nan, you're driving Konoha to its doom!"

"Uchiha Nan, you'll regret this!"

Mito Uzumaki was lifted up, but he couldn't force his way in the conference room, so he could only yell at Uchiha Nan.

"Shut up, Mito Uzumaki! I am the Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan blurted it out, as if it were destined.

Oh no, I've become Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly at the unpredictability of life; even this damned famous scene could be repeated.

Could there be a timeline correction in the Hokage world?

Uchiha Nan rubbed his temples, clearing his mind of these jumbled thoughts.

Anyone who tries to stop him from making a fortune is his enemy!

I don't have the patience to listen to any of that bullshit nonsense about the risks involved. All I want to do right now is make money!

What's the use of just admiring Daimyo?

I'm going to take action myself and become richer than them!

Uchiha Nan couldn't bear to live like this, worrying about money, for even a single day.

Fortune favors the bold, especially when it's a sure-fire way to make money!

After Mito Uzumaki was "escorted" out by the Anbu, Uchiha Nan, with a gloomy face, surveyed the entire room before slowly saying:

Does anyone else have any objections?

The crowd fell silent; they had already witnessed Mito Uzumaki's fate.

They don't have Mito Uzumaki's identity; if they voiced their opposition, they'd probably be locked up in the Anbu.

"That's settled then!"

"All matters concerning Konoha are to be put on hold for now. We must focus entirely on the impending war, the futures trading plan, and the battle preparations as needed!"

"Uchiha Tomita, I'm entrusting the mobilization for the battle to you. Keep it a secret for now; I have a very important use for you!"

"Lu Yuan, I'm entrusting the futures trading plan to you to help me implement it!"

"Today's meeting is top secret; no one is allowed to leak it!"

Uchiha Nan issued orders and exercised the rights of the Hokage.

During wartime, the Hokage's words are military orders, and no one can disobey them.

Meeting adjourned!

The meeting ended in a somber atmosphere.

Everyone at the meeting was in low spirits.

Because of the impending war!

Because of the upcoming massive spending spree!

Furthermore, it was because of Uchiha Nan's futures trading plan, which seemed completely unreliable no matter how you looked at it.

This Konoha is like a pill!

Senju Clan Land

After the meeting ended, Toma Senju returned to his room alone and even hummed a little tune; he was in a good mood today.

Uchiha Nan "invited" his mother, Mito Uzumaki, out of the meeting room, outwardly appearing resentful, but in reality, he was secretly delighted.

Because he knew his mother, Mito Uzumaki, was right, and that Uchiha Nan's bullshit futures trading plan was utter garbage.

Is that what ninjas should be doing?

If Uchiha Nan's plan fails, he will immediately unite with the other ninja clans to impeach Uchiha Nan and remove him from the Hokage Position.

Even if Uchiha Nan was strong, could he possibly defeat the entire Konoha by himself?

You must be joking!

The Uchiha were ultimately just a bunch of brutes.
