Chapter 23: Learning to be a clan leader from scratch.

"Tomita, what do these people do?"

Uchiha Kusu had been promoted, so he naturally moved to the original room of Uchiha Tomita and officially started his life as the clan leader.

"Lord Clan Leader, these people are Uchiha's accountants."

Uchiha Tomita pointed to a row of accountants standing there. They were all professional accountants hired by Uchiha, and they were all civilians in Konoha.

As for why these people don't have an Uchiha, the reason is naturally that Uchiha is only good at killing people, and these boring and complicated ledgers give Uchiha a headache.

Uchiha Tomita gave a look, and the accountants began to report on the family's current situation.

"Lord Clan Leader, so far, the family's weapons industry continues to be in deficit. In order to cope with the war, Konoha owes a total of more than 530 million taels, which is used to purchase shurikens, kunai, detonating charms, etc. produced by the family. "

"Master Patriarch, the performance of the shops owned by the family is also not optimistic. The tenants on the third floor have been overdue for more than half a year, with a total payment of 130 million taels. The specific details are as follows."

"Lord Patriarch, the compensation for the fallen members of the family has not been paid. Now many people are making noises."

"."

The four or five accountants in front of them were reading the account books in their hands and reporting accounts non-stop.

Just one sentence inside and outside the words, make money!

Make money quickly, the more the better!

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed. You did this to me when you first took office. You can't say that the family will go bankrupt in my hands.

"Stop talking about it. In one sentence, how much cash flow does the family have now and how long can it last?"

Uchiha Nan couldn't stand the repayment like chanting sutras, so he just said that the result was fine.

"About 150 million taels. Not counting the family martyrs' pension, we can probably last about a month."

hiss!

With so little, it can only last a month.

"Tomita, has the family's finances become so bad?"

Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Tomita. His finances exploded just after he took office. How could this be fun?

"Lord Clan Leader, you know that this war has been going on for too long, not only for Uchiha, but also for every family in Konoha."

Not only that, Konoha's ninjas have not accepted missions for a long time, and they have all been sent to the front line to fight. A large amount of Konoha's financial income has been directly cut off.

It depends on each ninja clan to continue to bleed and hire people to maintain Konoha.

Grandma’s!

"Where's the daimyo? Where's the daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

"He didn't pay?"

Uchiha Nan was a little angry. The ninjas were working hard outside, but the daimyo was not willing to pay any money.

"The daimyo's annual funding to Konoha is 20 billion ryo, and it has been increased to 25 billion ryo in the past three years."

"but."

Uchiha Tomita didn't finish what he said, and it was obvious that he had already spent all his money. The cost of a detonating talisman was no less than 3,000 taels. In a small battle, he didn't know how many detonating talismans could be used on the battlefield every day.

There were also countless kunai and shuriken flying around the battlefield.

This does not include Bingliang pills, food, and medical supplies.

That's not fighting at all, that's just burning money.

Burning money is slower than spending money on war.

It seems that Konoha is completely undefeatable. If the fight continues like this, it will collapse internally. No family can withstand such a waste of money.

Not to mention the family casualties, almost a generation has died. "Don't worry, clan leader. The daimyo and Senju Tobirama have negotiated and will allocate a large amount of funds to rebuild Konoha."

It won't work if you don't give it. If some blood doesn't come out, Konoha will consider whether to find another daimyo who is willing to give money.

In the nearly thousand-year history of the ninja world, there have been many daimyo who were not very clear-headed and did not pay enough, but were killed by their ninjas.

After all, they are all working for the Country of Fire. If the daimyo dies, his sons and brothers can always find someone to inherit the daimyo.

Uchiha Tomita looked at Uchiha Nan with a dying look on his face, but still gave Uchiha Nan a sip of chicken soup.

The newly appointed clan leader cannot stop working just because he has no money, as that would be a disgrace to the Uchiha.

"How much exactly?"

"Tobirama-sama didn't say anything, it's a secret."

Depend on!

This bastard Tobirama wouldn't want to enrich himself by playing this trick.

Now this large amount of money is waiting for the next Hokage to distribute it. Who can eat more and who can eat less is decided by the Hokage.

This time we can't let the Thousand Hands clan take the lead.

"Uchiha Kusu-sama, you must become Hokage."

Uchiha Tomita looked at Uchiha Nan with burning eyes, and his eyes were almost wired. Becoming Hokage has the right to allocate funds for rebuilding Konoha.

Isn't this why the ninjas become Hokage?

He legitimately asks for money from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and then distributes the money. The family gets some from it to train family ninjas and strengthen the family's strength.

Of course this is part of it, as well as all kinds of hidden income.

For example, the division of Konoha tasks, land sales, and business secrets.

These are rights that only the top management can control.

Each family is doing its best to capture and occupy as much as possible within the framework of Konoha, and then cultivate family ninjas and enhance family strength. This cycle repeats and is passed down from generation to generation.

Whichever family can have a Hokage will naturally eat meat in it.

Now is the closest the Uchiha clan has come to becoming the Hokage, so they cannot miss this opportunity.

Now the family is in urgent need of blood!

"I will become Hokage."

Uchiha Kusunoki made a promise, not only for himself, but also for his family, and of course Konoha.

In the original novel, Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, the Senju clan was gone, and the Uchiha clan was gone. The only one who could enjoy the feast of these two great families was the Sarutobi clan.

Damn, Konoha gradually weakened while feeding his own family.

"Of course I believe in Uchiha Kusunoki."

Uchiha Tomita has great confidence in Uchiha Kusunoki. Who in Konoha can stop Uchiha Kusunoki who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan?

"Uchiha Kusunoki, here are the documents that the clan leader needs to deal with."

Uchiha Tomita brought another stack of papers, which were the documents that Uchiha Tomita usually needs to deal with.

There are all kinds of things, such as promotions of Uchiha security personnel, patrols of Konoha streets, and arrests of spies.

There are also family business, and important guests that the clan leader must receive. Of course, they are either rich or noble, and they are all big businessmen and nobles in the Land of Fire.

The most recent one is the day after tomorrow. It is a big businessman who has been cooperating with Uchiha and is responsible for supplying Uchiha with the raw material iron for making weapons. It is estimated that he came to collect the debt.

Uchiha has owed money for nearly half a year. The last time he came, Uchiha Tomita drank with him until late at night, and then he settled the matter. He said all the good things and barely dragged it out for a while.

Of course, this mess is now Uchiha Nan's headache.
