Chapter 180 The Shadow in the Dark and Uchiha
Although Youya actually likes the idea of opening an Internet cafe.
After all, he came to this world already
After more than thirty years, his memory of his previous life has gradually faded away.
If he hadn't seen Tsunade's familiar face every day telling him that this was a world of anime he was familiar with, Yuya might have buried all the past life deep in his heart and waited until one day to pick it up again.
Unfortunately, the conditions are not met now...
The current development of Konoha Village is similar to America in the mid-20th century.
Of course, in many aspects she is actually inferior to America at that time.
Such as transportation...
The current roads and railway tracks in Konoha Village can only be said to have covered the entire village of Konoha, but other places in the Country of Fire...
It can only be summed up by Lu Xun's saying, "There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, there will be a road." [This sentence is really what Lu Xun said]
That road can only be walked when the weather is nice, but when it rains there is mud everywhere.
Although Youya has tried his best to build roads and railways, it is impossible for Youya to really build roads to every village like he did in his previous life.
This is unrealistic.
At most, the railways can be built leading to the directions of the four countries: wind, earth, thunder, and water, and this is simply because they have mutual interests and facilitate the transportation of goods to each other.
Other places...
It's impossible for Yuya to really spend a lot of energy for those people in the Fire Country.
After all, he is only the Hokage of Konoha Village, not a daimyo of the Fire Country, and does not need to be responsible for everyone.
not to mention……
Yuya still needs these people to highlight the prosperity of Konoha.
This year, the population of the inner city of Konoha finally exceeded two million. Of course, almost half of them are outsiders. Whether they are from the outer city or from other parts of the Fire Country, they come to Konoha to work. They are the ones who come to live. Konoha has paid taxes on labor consumed in Konoha, they are valuable.
Moreover, Yuya does not need to give them a household registration, so they can only rent a house in the inner city of Konoha, so that there will not be too much pressure on Konoha to build houses.
In fact, after two rounds of renovation, most communities in Konoha have been converted into high-rise buildings, and the twenty-story buildings are still far from being fully occupied.
Therefore, Youya does not need to continue to promote real estate.
Wouldn't it be better to invest all this money in scientific research institutes?
Now that the scientific research institute has produced results, it is natural to increase investment.
Youya also hopes to be able to play with a smartphone as soon as possible.
…
At the end of Konoha's 38th year, the annual year-end accounting was carried out as usual.
This kind of year-end accounting should happen once a year from now on. After all, routines are terrible. When Youya steps down, this routine will definitely continue.
The interior of the Hokage's office building has actually gone through several rounds of renovations.
It's just that the Hokage's office is still a four-story building, which is much shorter than the government building in Beicheng District.
But there is no doubt that this is the highest center of power in Konoha Village.
"Deputy Minister, I will put the materials here."
In an office in the corner of the office hall on the first floor, a female clerk wearing secretary's business trousers placed a stack of documents on the desk of the Deputy Minister of Security's office.
Deputy Minister of Security Uchiha Setsuna nodded. After the female secretary left the office, Uchiha Setsuna's expression darkened.
Uchiha Setsuna, this is a person of the same era as Uchiha Mirror.
He was dissatisfied with Senju Tobirama's suppression of the Uchiha clan, so he has always been the representative of the hawks in the Uchiha clan.
Senju Tobirama suppressed the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Setsuna had even thought about launching a coup while Senju Tobirama was fighting outside, but the rest of the clan firmly disagreed.
The Uchiha clan is such a complicated family. Of course, you can also say that they think too much and do too little. They shout loudly, but what do they actually do?
Apart from having meetings in the clan every day, I don't do any serious work at all.
The Uchiha clan monster Senju Tobirama suppressed them, and then they huddled in a corner of the village, not interacting with the people in the village, and went to play on their own.
Senju Tobirama really wanted to isolate the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha clan also cooperated with Senju Tobirama's jump...
So what else is there to say?
Of course, with hindsight, even if the Uchiha clan really rebelled at that time, it would not be possible to succeed. Let’s not talk about the differences within the Uchiha clan itself, let’s just say that other families in Konoha Village will not allow Uchiha to rebel.
It's you Uchiha who is suppressed by Senju Tobirama. What does it have to do with us? We don't want to see your Uchiha coup succeed.
What's more, Senju Tobirama himself left a force to guard Konoha.
Senju Tobirama, who had guarded Uchiha all his life, could not fail to guard his rear during a war.
Of course Uchiha Setsuna didn't know this. These things can be said to be the top secrets among top secrets.
He would only think that when Senju Tobirama left Konoha to fight, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but those idiots in the Uchiha clan lost this opportunity.
And now, the brat, the Third Hokage, has inherited Senju Tobirama's will. Even though he gives a large amount of money to the Uchiha clan every year, these are all inducements!
Why don’t those people in the clan understand? !
The Konohagakure Security Department is the last center of power of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Setsuna understands that this place cannot be lost.
So even now the population is rising because Konoha has become rich. There are only more than five hundred ninjas in the Uchiha clan, and most of them are middle genin, not to mention genin. Even if they join the security department, they are just doing odd jobs.
After all, even if the genin actually went to the scene, it wouldn't have much effect. If he couldn't calm down the scene, an angry person might kill a genin with a single blow.
The Nakajonin are the real manpower of the security department.
However, there are only a few hundred people to manage the inner city of Konoha Village, including the guards of Konoha City Gate...
Why don't we have enough people?
The consequence is that the Uchiha clan receives a large number of complaints basically every month. If there are complaints, no one will call the police to deal with them. If there are complaints, the work efficiency is low. If there are complaints, they have solved the conflicts themselves. The talents of the security department It's long overdue...
Uchiha Setsuna immediately felt clear about what happened to the Security Department.
But there is no way. Ordinary people in the Uchiha clan would rather make money by selling sesame seed cakes in the inner city of Konoha than help their people in the security department share the pressure. They even got angry and even scolded their own family members in the security department. , because it does affect their business.
Especially the people on East 10th Street.
Many of the shops on this street next to the Uchiha clan are ordinary people who moved from the Uchiha clan.
Some people may not understand that this place is considered a very remote place. Is it possible that some people come here specifically to buy things?
Hey, don’t say it, it’s true. The technology accumulated by the Uchiha clan since the Warring States Period is not false.
These ordinary people of the Uchiha clan have been doing odd jobs for the Uchiha ninjas for hundreds of years.
For example, these ordinary people are responsible for the daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation of these Uchiha ninjas. Of course, these cannot be said to be unique to them, after all, others can do it too.
What only ordinary people of the Uchiha clan can really do is a kind of spun chakra thin thread.
Now technology has upgraded this thin wire into steel wire.
It is the kind of steel wire used in the ninja tool that connects shurikens and kunai. It can also transmit fire escape and transmit flames through the steel wire. The pulling force is very strong. The invisible steel wire can hang a person. , has a very wide range of uses.
It's just that no matter how awesome the machinery is, it's impossible to guarantee that the silkworms you raise will meet the requirements.
This is an agricultural job that only related practitioners in Uchiha can do, and it will not be spread to anyone else.
This is normal. Who would be stupid enough to spread the knowledge of eating by himself?
However, this also resulted in many ninjas who wanted to buy this material have to come here.
Uchiha ordinary people must have only been provided to Uchiha ninjas before.
But now that these ordinary people have left their clans, it’s up to them to eat, drink, sleep, and wear clothes, so they must be able to earn a little more.
Then these people get rich.
After all, it is well known that the salary of Konoha's ninjas, especially the jounin, is that of the top people in Konoha. Don't think that these people don't consume. In fact, the consumption of even daily training is staggering. A stack of 100,000 detonating talismans, a stack of 30 talismans, is used up in one afternoon.
This kind of steel wire is an artifact that can be used with ninja tools and detonating talismans. Therefore, the main purpose of those jounin is to make money. The more of these steel wires, the better. Then all these people got rich, and even though East 10th Street was the most remote neighborhood, the business atmosphere here turned out to be so good!
Unfortunately, because it is too close to the Uchiha clan, some people have a filter for the Uchiha clan, thinking that it is difficult for them to communicate with each other (well, this is a fact). In the attitude of doing more than doing less, if it is not special If you need to buy materials, don't come here.
This made ordinary people in Uchiha angry.
If you guys interrupt my business, you're ruining my job!
Uchiha Setsuna couldn't see that.
He would just think that those ordinary people were so presumptuous.
Although Konoha was a village when Setsuna Uchiha, who is now in his forties, was born, it was still generally managed according to the Warring States period.
In his opinion, ordinary people of the Uchiha clan should serve him.
He even felt that ordinary people should be grateful for this.
Actually this is quite normal.
If you ask the young people of the new era to understand the older generation's concept of one person, one factory, and one person working for a lifetime, they will definitely not understand.
What a lifetime? If you give me enough, I will work for you for the rest of my life.
You don’t give me enough and you still want to kidnap me morally? That's a dream.
Not everyone in the Uchiha clan sees this.
But after seeing it...then what?
Those in power are the older generation, so what say do they have?
In the end, the main contradiction of the Uchiha clan now is that Yuya distributes nearly 2 billion water plant dividends to the Uchiha clan every year, but the Uchiha clan's own job, which is the security department, they have not done a good job at all. Twelve times a year There are at least thirty complaints every month! Sometimes there are seven, eight or ten people a day.
Basically, on average, there are complaints every day, 365 days a year.
And this made some Konoha ninja families very dissatisfied.
Especially those families that are smaller than Sarutobi and Shimura, and larger than the three melons and two jujubes such as the Moonlight and Mitarai clans.
Among them, the Inuzuka family was the most dissatisfied.
Their family raises ninja dogs. Youya previously made a suggestion to equip the security department with police dogs. After all, those dogs are very cute and can often help a lot, such as finding lost old people, lost objects, or It's like smelling dangerous items in advance.
Yuya's suggestion is a good one. In fact, if there is really a police dog establishment, train the dogs of the Inuzuka clan to sense detonators, flames, toxic gases, etc. They can help a lot of police officers. Ministry work.
Unfortunately, Uchiha decisively refused, and the reason was extremely ridiculous, thinking that the dog would pollute the environment of the security department.
Oh, basically everyone in the Inuzuka clan has more than one ninja dog. If you say this...
Well...well, strictly speaking, this is indeed true. The puppy may indeed be naughty and dirty your security department, but you just say it...
Then this is not a slap in the face.
There is a saying. In fact, the spokesperson of the Uchiha clan has said this tactfully. If Madara is asked to come, Madara will definitely reject the proposal before Yuya has finished it, and then follow up. Ridicule means that my big Uchiha needs puppies? Are you kidding or something like that.
Most of the dogs bred by the Inuzuka family every year are bred for ninjas. For example, Hatake Sakumo purchased two ninja dogs and signed a psychic contract to let them play with his son Kakashi.
Many people with children in Konoha Village would like a ninja dog, but they are not eligible to buy one without psychic abilities.
Most of the people with psychic abilities are ninjas above the chuunin level.
So strictly speaking, the Inuzuka family's business is to serve high-end customers.
When Uchiha said this, the Inuzuka family immediately became upset, and the two parties became enemies.
There is a saying that Yi Youya really had good intentions, but ended up getting angry for no apparent reason. Tell me what happened.
Then Youya gave up and continued to love each other.
And the reason Uchiha Setsuna came to the Hokage's office building today with such a gloomy expression was naturally because he didn't actually want to come.
But it's a pity that the head of the Uchiha Security Department is the old patriarch after Uchiha Madara left. Apart from anything else, this old patriarch is over 60 years old. If he doesn't want to come, no one dares to force him to come.
In the end, only Setsuna Uchiha came.
Then not long after, Setsuna Uchiha was called to a meeting.
Uchiha Setsuna looked reluctant, but had no choice but to go to the meeting.
Then when I went there, I heard the Inuzuka family patriarch sneer on his face: "The deputy minister of the security department has such great official authority. How dare you come so late for such an important matter as the year-end summary and verification? Are you asking us to do this? There are many people waiting for you."
Uchiha Setsuna's expression suddenly became more gloomy.
After a while, Akimichi Takafeng and Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived late.
After arriving, Akimichi Tifeng began to apologize and said that there were too many things going on recently.
People from other families quickly said cheerfully that they would not use it.
Only Uchiha Setsuna had a gloomy face and didn't know what to say.
"Dong dong" You Ya, who was sitting at the head of the table, knocked on the table, and some people who were still chatting suddenly closed their mouths.
Youya casually took off the Hokage hat he was wearing and put it beside the table, then took a sip of wolfberry tea to moisten his throat. Then he put down the cup like a leader, crossed his hands and said softly: "The focus of today's meeting is of course Year-end summary, but before that... there is one cliché thing I still want to say.
In Konoha Village, development is the top priority. If someone hinders the development of the village...
Then I think everyone here is unwilling, right? "
Uchiha was silent for a moment, and people from other families responded to him.
Yuya then waved his hand, and Nara Shikaya on the side began to report the annual income and expenditure.
Finally, Nara Shikaya concluded that according to Konoha's 2038 year-end accounting, the village's GDP exceeded 350 billion, of which the export of various electrical appliances accounted for more than 70 billion taels. It is foreseeable that this number should increase next year.
Because there was a breakthrough in wireless phone technology. Corded phones can be exported.
It is impossible for other villages to use this technology.
After hearing this, the heads of the various families present had no idea.
They come here every year and expect nothing more than this.
And then, as expected, Youya started dividing the spoils... ahem, dividends.
This year more than 5 billion taels were issued compared to last year, mainly because many people in the inner city came to work, which led to an increase in various data, such as amusement parks, hospitals, and schools that attract money.
Although the patriarch of the Sarutobi family had long known that he should be able to get more money this year than last year, when Nara Shikaya announced that the Sarutobi family received more than 3 billion ryo in dividends from hospitals and banks last year, Sarutobi Ni It was inevitable that Zhan's face would glow red.
People from other families also looked envious.
Akimichi Tifeng shamelessly hung on Sarutobi Hiruzen and started crying.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has been the clan leader for only a few years, and he usually doesn't take care of things. However, because he has no intention of keeping any part of the annual dividends, he will use them all for all family members. Therefore, his status can be said to be impregnable. Who dares to say a bad word about him? People from the Sarutobi family will die for saying this. people.
Later, the dividends from the Akimichi family's granary were only a little over 400 million, which made Akimichi Tifeng look uncomfortable.
However, if you think about it carefully, all the money in your family used to buy food, but now you can eat the food in the granary. As long as you ensure that the granary is filled after the autumn harvest, and then the granary is full when the review is at the end of the year, there will be no one. No matter what, Qiudao Qifeng felt comfortable again.
The Akimichi clan actually has no idea about money, as long as they can have a good meal.
This more than 400 million taels is enough for the whole family to eat barbecue buffet for a month. After all, their entire clan, including ordinary people, only has about five to six hundred people.
After the other families had finished talking, the main event came.
Nara Shikaya looked at Uchiha Setsuna, and then calmly read out the Uchiha clan's dividend, 2.4 billion ryo.
The other families immediately went crazy.
Why? !
How could the Uchiha clan get so much?
Yuya knocked on the table, and after everyone gradually calmed down, Yuya turned his head and looked at Nara Shikaya.
Nara Shikaya nodded and said: "The Uchiha clan dedicated one-third of their clan land to build a water conservancy power plant. The water plant made an annual profit of 6.8 billion. According to the agreement between the Hokage and the Uchiha clan, The water plant paid a dividend of 1.36 billion, and the hydroelectric power plant made a profit of 11.2 billion for the year and paid a dividend of 1.12 billion, totaling 2.48 billion taels. The data is accurate."
Uchiha Setsuna's face was suddenly filled with shock.
He knew that water plants and power plants made money, but he really didn’t know how profitable they were.
He wasn't here every year before, but this year their clan leader asked him to come.
To be honest, the shock in his heart now overwhelmed his other senses.
He doesn't understand...
The Third Hokage...
Would you really give them so much money? !
Why did the patriarch let him come here? !
Akimichi beat his chest and grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Brother, I regret it! If I had known that the broken river was so important, I should have also applied to establish a clan territory in the East District!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Akimichi Tifeng and said calmly: "You were not born yet when we decided."
Qiudao Qifeng was choked immediately, and then he sighed helplessly.
This is really the case.
The clan leaders finally stopped after discussing for a while.
And Youya is ready to enter the next stage.
Commonly known as the Criticism and Struggle Conference.
There is no doubt that there are many main members in this link, but the one who gets scolded the most must be the Uchiha clan.
This link is to deal with some major disputes related to the interests of various families.
For example, the roller coaster project in the Hyuga family's amusement park was built about a mile long on the land of the Shimura family next door. The Shimura family felt that the Hyuga family should give them any amount of money.
Of course the Hyuga clan is not willing to do so. This kind of matter is not worthy of being reported to Yuya for ruling. It is impossible for Yuya to rule on such a trivial matter...
Well, it is a small matter for Youya, but for these two families, this is about tens of millions of taels or even hundreds of millions of profits. If you can fight for it, you must fight for it.
Then the Akimichi family and the Nara clan launched an attack on the Hyuga clan.
After all, the school fees charged by the Hyuga clan are indeed a bit outrageous.
However, people from the Hyuga clan also have something to say. What is the quality of teaching in my Hyuga clan, and what is the quality of teachers in newly opened elementary schools and kindergartens outside?
You actually compare them with us? ! no! This brother can't do anything! Unless you add more money next year, your parents in Akimichi and Nara will not accept you.
Then a group of people started arguing and talking about the Uchiha clan.
After all, many of their conflicts were initially reported to the Security Department.
However, the current work efficiency of the Security Department...
Well, you really can’t expect more than five hundred police officers to police a city with a permanent population of one million and a floating population of more than one million.
That's too exhausting to do.
Of course, Youya knew that normally this kind of security department should have a police station on a few streets in each area. If the manpower is spread out like this, it will definitely not be enough, but at least it can prove that it is doing its job.
It's not that the Uchiha clan doesn't want to work, but again, if there aren't enough people, everything will be in vain.
Setsuna Uchiha was in a daze when he left the conference room. After all, he had just been scolded by a group of people for more than an hour, and he couldn't retaliate, so how could he retaliate? Shrew?
Then don't even think about him as the deputy minister.
Uchiha Setsuna didn't know how he returned to the clan in the end, but now he finally knew why the clan leader asked him to come...
This is not a good job at all.
As for the current predicament of the Security Department, You Ya is naturally aware of it.
In fact, even Uchiha Mirror knows it in his heart.
But again, there is only one solution, and that is to recruit people.
Recruiting people will dilute the power. The Security Department is in the hands of the Uchiha clan, and they don't want to let it go.
In fact, even if they abandon the security department and go all-out business, life will not be difficult.
Hmm...well, with the temper of the Uchiha clan, he would lose all his pants if he went into business.
still……
Wait until they give in or cause a big mess, then help solve it.
And just after Uchiha returned instantly, that night, he heard someone speaking softly in the darkness:
"Are you just going to endure the humiliation they give you and Uchiha?!"
Uchiha stood up suddenly and took a defensive posture: "Who?! Stop pretending! Come out!"
Then, a dark shadow transformed into a look that was particularly familiar to Uchiha Setsuna and came out: "Setsuna...it's me."
Uchiha looked at the shadow in front of him in shock. Although the shadow was dark,...
This silhouette is definitely…
"Madara...are you...Madara-sama?!"
Black Jue, who transformed into spots, showed a ferocious smile: "That's right...it's me."
