Returning Home

The only remaining main-line assets of the Senju Clan, combined with the prestige of the Senju name, made them far less of a target for envy! Most of Tsunade's gambling funds came from this source! If not for the support of the Senju family assets, given Tsunade's luck, she could take on missions every single day and still not have enough to cover her gambling debts!

However, the Uchiha Clan was different compared to the Senju. Outsiders wouldn't care that, when divided among every Uchiha, each person was barely living a middle-class life! Outsiders only saw how massive the collective interests of the Uchiha Clan were! Massive interests naturally invited envy!

And envy naturally invited disaster! In the original story, what kind of place did the Uchiha Clan's sole survivor, Sasuke, live in after he finally married Sakura?

Are we to believe the Uchiha Clan's inheritance wasn't even enough to buy a detached house like the one Sarutobi Konohamaru lived in? Who would believe that? Sakura still had to busy herself like a housewife, pinching pennies to raise Sarada...

One can only say that by then, the Uchiha Clan had been picked clean! As for who did the eating, surely every major clan in Konoha had a hand in it! Otherwise, would you dare to hog such massive interests all to yourself? You'd better watch out for a collective assault!

Only those two brain-dead idiots, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, had zero sense of self-interest. They kept thinking the Uchiha Clan lacked the Will of Fire, when it was clearly a matter of material reality! Those two idiots kept looking for solutions on a spiritual level!

From beginning to end, aside from those in the Uchiha Clan's hawk faction who shouted a few things about a coup, this group of people hadn't caused any harm to Konoha right up until the clan was wiped out!

In other words, the Uchiha Clan was convicted and exterminated based on nothing but a few words of empty talk, without a single mistake or reason!

Perhaps the higher-ups also felt that wiping out the Uchiha Clan based on a few words that hadn't even led to substantive action was unjustifiable! They couldn't explain it to the people of Konoha either!

So, they tricked Uchiha Itachi, a member of the Uchiha, into wiping out his own clan. That way, they could eliminate the Uchiha Clan directly without needing a reason or a criminal charge!

Is this something an authoritative government should be doing? It's as absurd as the American government eyeing the land in Hawaii and wiping out the Hawaiian people just to seize it!

It is time to plan ahead, if only for the sake of my future children! There is no logic in being a thief for a thousand days, let alone guarding against one for a thousand days!

The massive interests of the Uchiha Clan had already sealed the clan's fate! Currently, the Uchiha Clan's scale was completely mismatched with the wealth it possessed! But trying to increase that scale was restricted by the environment in Konoha!

Konoha itself wasn't exactly huge, yet it was packed with major ninja clans. If you took any of these clans out, they would be top-tier, but within Konoha, they didn't seem like much!

After all, while the Senju might be gone on the surface, the Uchiha and the Hyuga Clan were still there!

If the Uchiha wanted to expand their scale, they would inevitably infringe upon the interests of other families! Furthermore, the Hokage faction would no longer allow the Uchiha to expand!

So, after much thought, I have to take the path of Koyuki Kazahana! To think that I, Uchiha Gen, the strongest in Konoha, would be reduced to living off a woman... Sigh! The world is not as one wishes!

"No matter how luxurious it is, it's only a temporary stay! Just a fleeting cloud," Uchiha Gen said with a hint of melancholy!

"Eh? Temporary stay? What do you mean? Do we have other properties?" Pakura interrogated him with the air of a lady of the house!

"No other properties, but the business interests are quite large. I estimate it's equivalent to the amount you'd earn from hundreds of years of missions!" Uchiha Gen smiled confidently! As far as his own shares in the Uchiha Welfare Lottery were concerned, saying it was enough to cover hundreds of years of Pakura's missions was no exaggeration!

"Hundreds of years of missions? Wouldn't that bankrupt Sunagakure?" Pakura asked, naively counting on her fingers!

"What is Sunagakure? You know about the Welfare Lottery, right? We have shares in it. It's a business that keeps bringing in money! Even if it's passed down to our grandchildren, they won't have to worry about food or drink!" Hmph, who told the countries in the Ninja World not to have relevant laws in place? Everyone from my past life knows how profitable the lottery is!

Speaking of which, the Land of Snow plan needs to be moved up! Otherwise, the Uchiha won't be able to hold onto this industry! Sigh~ I'm really racking my brain over this!

"Isn't the Welfare Lottery an asset of the entire Uchiha Clan? What does it have to do with you personally?" Pakura was a bit confused. She did have some understanding of the lottery, a gambling product that had become popular recently!

Just the gimmick of the grand prize was enough to catch any ninja's attention. Pakura herself had spent hundreds of thousands in mission rewards to try that thing called a scratch-off!

If her own willpower hadn't been strong enough, her dowry would probably be gone by now! This goes to show that the Welfare Lottery was undoubtedly an extremely profitable project!

And her own man actually held personal shares in such a project! This... just how much money is this?

She figured she could go back and buy Sunagakure!

If she were the Fourth Kazekage, would Sunagakure still need to look at the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind? Just thinking about the pained expression of Elder Chiyo every time they requested funds and resources, she knew the Daimyo definitely didn't have anything nice to say!

"Because the Welfare Lottery project was something I, your man, came up with. It's only natural that I hold shares. Plus, with my strength, who would dare to have an opinion? Or do they think my ninja blade is not sharp?" Uchiha Gen laughed arrogantly!

"My blade is not dull either! Whoever dares to touch my money, I will take their lives!" Pakura had already automatically adopted the role of the lady of the house!

After Pakura spent the afternoon tidying up, Gen's residence finally had a bit of life to it!

"Gen, when do you think we'll get married?" That night, Pakura prepared a large table of Sunagakure specialties. As she filled Gen's bowl, she asked with longing in her eyes!

"Ah? This... let's wait a bit, let's wait a bit, we'll do it all at once!" Uchiha Gen shoveled rice into his mouth, looking slightly nervous! Must say, the flavors of Sunagakure are truly unique, though they are quite tasty. Eating them occasionally is fine! But if I eat them all the time, I'm afraid it won't suit my palate. It seems I still need to put pressure on Kurenai Yuhi!

Find a few more, and then one, two, three, eat Konoha food; four, five, six, eat Sunagakure food; seven, eight, nine, eat Kirigakure seafood; ten, eleven, twelve, eat Kumogakure barbecue. As for the Land of Earth, forget it, playing with legs is enough to satisfy the appetite!

"Eh? All at once? What do you mean all at once? Is there someone else getting married at the same time as us? Is it a teammate from your year?" Pakura asked curiously. After all, she was unfamiliar with life in Konoha, so getting to know Uchiha Gen's social circle would make things easier to deal with later!

"Ah! I suppose so! Haha! We'll talk about it when the time comes, let's eat, let's eat first!" Uchiha Gen laughed and changed the subject! Kurenai Yuhi could be considered from his year, right?

I really don't know how to face this kind of 'yandere' situation! Forget it, I'll get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. At worst, I'll die, but I have Izanagi anyway! I'm not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of this?
