"Of course it's more than that."
Ren pushed the other scroll away.
Several major trade routes and city nodes Land of Fire and Land of Lightning are marked on it.
"Super Amazing City is the core."
"After this place is formed, Uchiha will lay branches in major cities of Land of Fire and Land of Lightning."
"Caravans, warehouses, ninja tools Workshops, medicinal material purchase points, intelligence points, and escort teams will be gradually established."
"Land of Lightning has been cleared, Kumogakure is not allowed to accept the mission against Uchiha, and Land of Lightning level is not allowed to block the Uchiha caravan."
"This is a ready-made trade channel."
"Land of Fire has Konoha as the foundation and Super Amazing City as the node. When both sides are connected, the flow of goods will be much faster than in the past."
Tsunade The more I listened, the tighter my brows furrowed.
Not because of dissatisfaction.
But she finally heard Ren's true ambition.
Hokage Position It is true that this person cannot be trapped.
What he wants is not a desk inside Konoha.
What he wants is to use business, resources, intelligence and force to insert Uchiha into the blood vessels of the entire Shinobi World.
This is more freeing and more terrifying than being Hokage.
"Do you want to control regional power through business?"
Tsunade Ask directly.
Ren did not deny it.
"Wealth itself is power."
"Money can buy medicinal materials, buy ninja tools, buy information, hire guards, raise manpower, build roads, and build strongholds."
"The money earned from ninja missions will always be passive income."
"A truly stable force must have its own industries, channels, resources and intelligence network."
"Uchiha will no longer stick to the closed door."
"We will go out and do business, acquire cultivation resources, collect Shinobi World intelligence, and build our own business network."
"Whoever controls resources can influence regional power."
"Whoever can make businessmen, ninjas, civilians, and small countries profit from their own system can truly integrate into Shinobi World."
Tsunade looked at him and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was more difficult to deal with than Monster on the battlefield.
If you are strong on the battlefield, you can fight with stronger combat power.
But what Ren is talking about now is to spread the benefits.
Let others not only fear him, but also rely on him to make money, rely on him to eat, and rely on him to trade resources.
If this continues, Uchiha will no longer be a simple force, but will become a huge system with commerce, intelligence, resources, guards, and strongholds.
Jiraiya also fell silent.
The prophecy of Great Toad Sage became clearer in his mind.
Transnational trade routes, transmission nodes, resource channels, followers, and dependents.
This is not something that will happen in the future.
Ren is already doing it.
Tsunade picked up the tea cup, but didn't drink it.
After a moment, she spoke, "What do you want from Konoha?"
Ren said, "Approval authority."
"Road planning rights."
"Legal passage of caravans in and out of Konoha."
"Within the scope of Super Amazing City, Uchiha and Konoha jointly maintain security, but the business management is dominated by Uchiha."
"Konoha can collect taxes, but the tax rate must be fixed in advance. No temporary increase is allowed. Land of Lightning compensation is not allowed to be withheld. Hokage Tower is not allowed to forcibly interfere with the Uchiha trade route."
Tsunade sneered.
"You are saying all the ugly things in front of me."
"Because Hokage Tower did too many scandals in the past."
Ren's tone was calm, but Tsunade couldn't refute.
Tsunade was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "If I agree to cooperate, what can you give Konoha?"
Ren looked at her.
"Economy."
"Resources."
"Stable."
"Also Uchiha supports the new Hokage."
As the last sentence fell, Shizune's heart skipped a beat.
This sentence is too strong.
This is exactly what Konoha lacks now.
Tsunade succeeds Hokage. The biggest hidden danger is not his strength or his identity, but the attitude of Uchiha.
As long as Ren publicly supports Tsunade, Hokage's old troops dare not move, and all ethnic groups will quickly take sides, Konoha will be able to stabilize itself from the shock of the third generation's abdication as quickly as possible.
Tsunade Of course I understand.
She stared at Ren and said, "Do you support me becoming Fifth Hokage?"
"As long as you govern Konoha and don't put your hands into Uchiha's loot and trade routes, and don't continue to follow the old path of suppressing the ninja clan and condoning darkness like the third generation, Uchiha will recognize you as Fifth Hokage."
"Admit it?"
Tsunade raised his eyebrows.
These two words sound harsh.
But she didn't get angry.
Because the current Uchiha is indeed qualified to say this.
Tsunade Take a deep breath and suppress the discomfort in your heart.
"I need time to read the entire plan."
"Okay."
Ren pushed the scroll to her.
Tsunade took the scroll and flipped through a few pages. The more he read, the more he felt that this plan was not a temporary idea.
Roads, shops, warehousing, cargo flow, guard routes, tax distribution, investment scope, and security zoning are all clearly written.
Even how much manpower and funds need to be invested at different stages, and which Land of Fire and Land of Lightning products should be introduced first, have been listed.
Shizune leaned over and took a few glances, and his eyes slowly opened wide.
"Lady Tsunade, if this plan can be implemented, the business scale of Konoha will be greatly expanded."
Of course Tsunade knows.
She closed the scroll and looked at Ren.
"I can promote this collaboration."
"But I also have conditions."
Ren said, "Say."
Tsunade pointed at Shisui and Nanami, then looked at Ren.
"Konoha will next clean up Root, reorganize ANBU, and stabilize border defense."
"I don't have enough people on hand."
"You don't want Uchiha to interfere in Konoha's government affairs, I can accept that."
"But for some key tasks, I would like to borrow Uchiha's team."
Nanami frowned.
Shisui also looked at Ren.
Tsunade continued, "It's not about letting them listen to Hokage Tower's random tunes, nor is it about using Uchiha as a tool."
"But in a cooperative form."
"When it comes to Root remnants, Kumogakure follow-up handover, Land of Lightning trade route protection, and Konoha internal high-risk liquidation tasks, I need a strong and reliable team."
"Konoha The current ANBU has been penetrated too deeply by Root and the old school. It is impossible for me to believe everything immediately."
"I've heard of Uchiha Shrine's combat power."
"I would like to borrow a few teams to help me survive the most chaotic period."
The reception room was quiet again.
Tsunade This sentence is very smart.
She doesn't ask for power, she wants a cooperative team.
This will not only allow the new Hokage to quickly obtain a strong execution team, but also allow Uchiha to participate in key liquidations, ensuring that the remaining Root will not be privately let go by the old Hokage department.
At the same time, she also acknowledged the weight of Uchiha Shrine.
Nanami looked at Ren, his eyes a little more eager to try.
Shisui quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Ren did not agree immediately.
He looked at Tsunade and asked, "How long will it be borrowed?"
"By the time ANBU's reorganization is completed, Root's liquidation has entered a stable stage."
Tsunade answered quickly.
"The specific tasks must be informed to Uchiha in advance."
"Uchiha has the right to refuse unreasonable transfers."
"Task rewards are settled according to S-rank standard."
"If it involves Uchiha Kekkei Genkai, Yaonai disappearance, Orochimaru human experimentation, Hashirama's Cells and Danzo evidence, Uchiha has the right to jointly review."
