Uchiha Nan: Although I Run a Shady Factory, I'm a Good Person!

"Not bad, you little brat!"

Kakuzu stood there panting, staring at Hatake Sakumo. His dark green eyes showed surprise. The little brat in front of him had fought him for more than twenty moves without a clear winner, and had even managed to suppress him in close combat. His swordsmanship was superb and had even developed into a style of its own.

If I let him continue to grow, it probably won't be long before I can't beat him anymore. I have to take advantage of his immaturity and beat him up!

Otherwise, we won't be able to hit them later!

Hatake Sakumo's "bible for leeks" is widely circulated in the futures trading community. Many leeks have been lured into his Hatake Sakumo scheme and lost everything. The black market bounty on Hatake Sakumo has reached hundreds of millions.

That's equivalent to several Asuma.

If Kakuzu hadn't already become Uchiha Nan's henchman, Kakuzu would definitely have taken Hatake Sakumo's head today to Bounty Exchange exchange to make up for his own losses.

Kakuzu was determined to give Hatake Sakumo a good beating today. He had lost so much money that he had no chance to settle accounts with Uchiha Nan, so he could only take it out on this little brat.

"You've yielded."

Hatake Sakumo felt a little guilty. He had clearly been wearing a mask and had been staying in the village all this time, so how could the old grudge still come looking for him? It was truly a sin.

Just as Kakuzu was about to continue his attack, Nara Luyuan stepped in to smooth things over.

Despite being a bounty hunter who crossed the Hyuga Clan Head Family's line, the Lord Hokage personally protected him and had him familiarize himself with the Ministry of Finance's affairs. It seems the Lord Hokage Kakuzu, this bounty hunter, highly.

If you just stand there watching the show and things escalate, the Lord Hokage will be in trouble.

"That's enough for now. We'll be working together from now on, so there's plenty of time for us to learn from each other."

"Hmph, you little brat, we'll see what happens!"

Kakuzu Nara Luyuan some face, revealing a sinister smile to Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo shuddered; being targeted by a ninja of Kakuzu's caliber... the consequences...

From then on, Hatake Sakumo lived a blissful life, being followed by everyone every day.

"Master, it's time to wake up!"

Rin, fully dressed, woke Uchiha Nan. The bright sunlight shone on Uchiha Nan's face, somewhat dazzling. After a few minutes of struggle with the bed, Uchiha Nan finally overcame its constraints and regained his freedom.

The weather was gradually getting cooler. Feeling the lingering warmth on the bed, Uchiha Nan wondered if he should install an air conditioner in the house, in all the rooms!

The air conditioner production line has been established during this period, and Konoha has plenty of workers to participate in the production.

After the great battle ended, not only were there many villagers in Konoha unable to find work, but the refugees were also eagerly hoping to find a job that could fill their stomachs.

Uchiha Nan's shady factory was filled with cheap labor, earning meager wages, but Konoha provided all the food and lodging. They worked 12-hour shifts a day, taking turns working night shifts.

If the Jews saw this, they would probably be so envious they'd cry.

However, even with a job that included room and board, the migrant workers were eagerly anticipating it, and the laborers who arrived at their workstations early were still spreading the good name of Uchiha Nan.

The Lord Hokage of Konoha is truly a kind-hearted person.

Uchiha Nan walked down the street, reflecting on today's mission arrangements. More than a month had already passed.

Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan a lot on her plate today. Her movie finished filming a few days ago, and she's working overtime editing it. She needs to watch every scene.

He also had to go to the Hokage's office to listen to Nara Luyuan's daily report; his schedule was packed.

"Master, the milk tea is so delicious."

"Really? I still prefer Coke!"

Uchiha Nan walked down the street with a Coke in his hand, while Kaede and Rin each held a cup of milk tea.

Several tea shops have opened in Konoha, specializing in milk tea and cola. Long queues have already formed there. The main characteristic of these two drinks is that they are very sweet and have a lot of sugar!

Humans are slaves to sugar; the brain is a sugar-loving organ that cannot eat anything but sugar. If there is not enough sugar, it will even break down fats and proteins to forcibly synthesize sugar.

Sweet and fragrant milk tea directly hits the weak spot of human nature, especially girls who love to drink it. It's just a pity that sugar is not cheap now, and ordinary Konoha are unwilling to spend money on such things. Only high-income ninjas can afford to drink several cups of milk tea a day.

In order to promote the brand of milk tea and cola, Uchiha Nan not only personally endorsed the tea shop.

During each Konoha meeting, special funds were allocated to provide each person with a Coke and a milk tea!

When superiors have a certain preference, subordinates will follow suit to an extreme.

What's more, milk tea and cola taste great on their own, and milk tea shops have been doing incredibly well lately; even ninjas might not be able to buy a cup a day.

There were many young men in the long queue, patiently waiting in line just to buy a cup of milk tea, hoping to win a smile from a beautiful woman with that cup.

Uchiha Nan's assessment of this approach was that some people were suffering from drought while others were suffering from floods.

A cup of milk tea won't win over your crush; it will only make you a simp.

Sugarcane and sugar beets are both high-sugar cash crops, but now most people are growing grains. People are starving, and filling their stomachs is more important than anything else.

In the future, I might bring about a Ninja world version of changing rice to sugarcane (beets).

As Uchiha Nan walked towards the office, he silently pondered how to quickly solve the sugar production problem.

But once capital bares its fangs, a land grab similar to sheep devouring men might occur, potentially causing widespread starvation. Despite running a ruthless factory and exploiting workers' labor, Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan still considered himself a good person!

Even though he did such a heartless thing, Uchiha Nan still felt a pang of guilt.

I'm still a kind person at heart.

Uchiha Nan sighed inwardly, thinking about what alternative method there might be. The Ninja world was vast and full of wonders; surely a solution that could satisfy both sides could be found.

So Uchiha Nan thought of the Aburame Clan. Bees can collect nectar to make honey, which is high in sugar. Their clan specializes in playing with Insects, so they should have the opportunity to cultivate Insects that can produce sugar by eating grass, or simply by basking in the sun.

Office

Uchiha Nan sat in the chair and looked at Aburame Shibi, saying:

"Zhiyun, Konoha has a very important task to entrust to your clan!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Aburame Shibi showed an excited expression, as he was well aware of his clan's status in Konoha.

The Aburame Clan excels at manipulating Insects, but their fatal weakness is that the Insects are vulnerable to Fire Release. Before the Aburame Clan developed nano-sized poisonous insects, their combat strength was not considered high.

Gathering intelligence and scouting enemy positions are their clan's specialties. Unfortunately, Konoha has better candidates in this area, namely the Hyuga Clan, which makes the Aburame Clan's position in Konoha quite awkward.

In addition, their family has always had a low profile, and they have always been a nobody among the Konoha ninja clans.

But things are different now!

The Lord Hokage actually remembered me and was about to entrust the Aburame Clan with an important task!

Lord Hokage gives you a task, it represents an opportunity. If you do it well, you will naturally have the chance to rise to the top.

"Lord Hokage, is there some important infiltration mission that requires the Aburame Clan?"

Aburame Shibi's tone was excited as he guessed what task Uchiha Nan was about to give.

"Of course not. Everyone has their own expertise. The task I've assigned you is in your area of expertise: breeding a special kind of Insects. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Uchiha Nan shook his head and said slowly.

"Cultivating Insects, then the Lord Hokage has chosen the right clan!"

"No one in the entire Konoha is more suited than our clan to complete the Lord Hokage's mission!"

Aburame Shibi's tone was full of confidence; their clan were top experts at playing with Insects, and they could even raise Insects inside their bodies!

Uchiha Nan explained his requirements to Aburame Shibi, Aburame Shibi was impressed by Uchiha Nan's boundless imagination.

Their lineage has always been dedicated to making Insects more destructive and venomous, either enlarging Insects to the extreme or shrinking them to the extreme.

They haven't even tried, or even considered, breeding Insects specifically to produce sugar.

"The Insects ' food must be commonplace, such as grass or similar plants, Insects must produce a large amount of sugar!"

"If possible, we could also cultivate a type of Insects that is not picky about food, reproduces quickly, and has a high protein content."

Uchiha Nan recalled the "Happy Meal" from the Snow Country Train—protein blocks made entirely from cockroaches. Although the ingredients were disgusting and the taste was awful, it was truly filling. Exporting food like this from Konoha would definitely be a great opportunity!

"Lord Hokage, the Aburame Clan will do everything in its power to gather the strength of all its members!"

This was the first time Uchiha Nan had assigned a task to the Aburame Clan. It was their first attempt to cultivate these types of Insects. Aburame Shibi wasn't sure how long it would take to successfully cultivate them, but he had to be serious about it!

"Don't be too nervous. I have a master in scientific research here. You can make a prototype sample insect and write down your cultivation plan. I believe he can help you quickly cultivate the Insects I need."

Uchiha Nan planned to add more burdens to Tobirama Senju's load. A good ox or horse needs more weight on its back, otherwise it will slack off!

"Oh? The Lord Hokage has a master at cultivating Insects by his side!"

"I wonder when I'll be able to meet this master."

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan mention the master who cultivates Insects, Aburame Shibi immediately perked up; he absolutely had to meet such a scientific research master.

"I'll have a chance. He's currently very busy with research."

Uchiha Nan chuckled and brushed it off. He didn't know whether Tobirama Senju could cultivate Insects. There were still barriers between industries, and even a genius like Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan time to explore and discover.

We can have the Aburame Clan create a prototype first, which will make it easier for Tobirama Senju to take action.

Aburame Shibi wisely skipped the topic and quickly took his leave to return to his clan, intending to immediately gather all the clan's members to cultivate the Insects that the Lord Hokage needed.

After Aburame Shibi left, Nara Luyuan went into his office to begin his daily routine, reporting to Uchiha Nan.

"Air conditioners sell very well among the nobles of the Land of Fire; almost every noble has bought one."

"The Daimyo is still demanding that Konoha speed up production; he wants to renovate the entire palace of the Land of Fire!"

Nara Luyuan's voice was filled with joy.

The cost of this air conditioner is quite low, with the labor cost being incredibly low; the expensive part is all in the materials.

The cost of one unit is only a little over 100,000 taels, Uchiha Nan sold it to nobles for 880,000 taels.

They claimed it was a special product for nobles, with the patterns on the outer shell carved by Jonin. Of course, this was nonsense; the patterns were all carved by ordinary workers. But nobles and brand owners were willing to buy into this.

The regular version costs only 298,000 taels, but they don't even glance at it. They are nobles, and the regular version is for commoners. As nobles, they naturally want a special supply for nobles!

"Then let's build a few more production lines in the next few days. Daimyo is rolling in money right now. He made a fortune in futures trading and has a lot of cash waiting to be spent."

"Remember to charge extra for the accompanying Chakra power system. Just say it was rushed and the cost will be higher; those nobles won't mind such a small amount."

Uchiha Nan revealed a satisfied smile; making money from big spenders was truly exhilarating.

"Remember to make sure all the movie theaters in the Land of Fire Konoha. Offer them a discount; building brand recognition is the most important thing. Don't overlook the civilian market either!"

"The markets in other Ninja world countries, and the movie theaters still need the Daimyo's promotion. We can give the Daimyo a small share of the referral fees. You can decide on a few points yourselves. Remember to involve Kakuzu; he's very interested in this kind of thing, and his talent should be quite good."

Uchiha Nan kept instructing Nara Luyuan that the market for nobles was enormous. They needed to open up sales channels not only in the Land of Fire but also in other countries. This would require the help of the Daimyo's channels. Only by giving the Daimyo a little incentive would they be motivated to promote their products diligently.

Currently, the main consumers of luxury industrial products like air conditioners are still the aristocracy. In the Ninja world world, ordinary people with better family backgrounds would probably have to save up for half a year before they could grit their teeth and buy one. But Uchiha Nan would not give up on cultivating their market.

They can afford to watch regular movies. The weather is gradually getting cooler, and they can enjoy the warmth of air conditioning as soon as they enter the movie theater. In the future, they can enjoy cool air conditioning in the summer. This is a privilege that only wealthy people could enjoy in the Daimyo.

They'll definitely be tempted!

The installation of air conditioning in cinemas this time can also boost box office revenue. In the 21st century of the previous world, in the country of White Elephant, a considerable number of people went to see a movie just to enjoy the free air conditioning.

I made seven dumplings just for this vinegar!

This can be considered a different kind of bundled sales!

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

"Kakuzu, that bounty hunter, certainly has a high talent for business, and he's also willing to put in the effort. He's been burning the midnight oil these past few days, studying economics books."

"."

Nara Luyuan mentioned Kakuzu and spoke highly of Kakuzu, especially after Kakuzu learned about the cost and profit of air conditioners, as well as the terrifying sales volume behind them, he started studying them like a madman.

His diligent attitude towards studying business economics was something even he couldn't match. After all, in order to better serve Uchiha Nan, Nara Luyuan had also been studying business-related books recently!
