NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70: ch69
"I have a proposal for Konoha's tight financial budget!"
"The plan is a bit complicated, and this space is too small for me to write it all down."
"I can only give you a rough idea!"
Uchiha Nan presented his idea, and the previously noisy meeting room fell silent.
What an astonishing idea!
The people present thought of Uchiha Nan's recent actions since becoming Hokage. First, he took a firm stance against the ninja clans, forcibly extracting resources from them to support Konoha, which left many clans disgruntled.
It was rumored that Uchiha Nan had also received a gift from the daimyo: a pair of twin girls.
Now he proposed a seemingly childish and crazy idea.
Uchiha Nan, he doesn't seem like a traditional leader!
Futures? Never heard of it!
Is it reliable?
Certainly not!
The clan leaders and family heads present had been ninjas their entire lives. They were accustomed to completing tasks for rewards and instinctively resisted this new concept.
Older generations are naturally conservative, preferring familiar paths. Unlike Tobirama Senju, not everyone had the capacity for rapid adaptation.
It was clear to anyone with insight that pig iron prices would soar. Buying low and selling high seemed simple, but if war spiraled out of control, could you still buy it back?
This concerned Konoha's survival; it wasn't a trivial matter!
Everyone exchanged glances, but no one spoke up, wary of challenging the Hokage's authority.
"Enough!"
Uzumaki Mito interrupted Uchiha Nan.
"Konoha is not your toy!"
"I've never heard of futures. Whether you can make money is secondary. The most important thing for Konoha now is dealing with the war. A ninja's duty is to complete tasks perfectly. If you want to do business, become a businessman!"
"You are now the Third Hokage of Konoha!"
"Understand your role. Your plan is just a fantasy!"
Uzumaki Mito did not hold back, chastising Uchiha Nan.
Her strength, identity, and status meant she didn't fear retaliation from Uchiha Nan.
Konoha was the life's work of her husband, Hashirama Senju, and Uzumaki Mito wouldn't allow Uchiha Nan to jeopardize it.
Damn, is she so disrespectful to me?
Uchiha Nan felt embarrassed but not too angry.
Uzumaki Mito was fair and concerned for Konoha. Besides, she couldn't foresee the war's outcome.
The current situation pointed to war. Only he knew it would end anticlimactically. Even if he told them, they wouldn't believe it.
However, as Hokage, he couldn't back down. Otherwise, he'd lose respect and authority.
"Uchiha Tomita, escort Uzumaki Mito out!"
Uchiha Nan commanded, instructing Uchiha Tomita to remove Uzumaki Mito from the meeting room.
Uchiha Tomita hesitated, hoping Uzumaki Mito could persuade Uchiha Nan.
"Master clan leader."
Uchiha Tomita began to advise.
"Shut up!"
"Mind your position when working!"
"Call me Hokage!"
"Follow orders!" Uchiha Nan glared at Uchiha Tomita. If you don't support me now, are you planning to rebel?
"Yes!"
"Hokage-sama!"
Uchiha Tomita quickly complied, signaling several ANBU members to approach Uzumaki Mito and said:
"Mito-sama, please forgive us!"
ANBU members gently escorted Uzumaki Mito from the meeting room.
"Uchiha Nan, you're pushing Konoha to ruin!"
"Uchiha Nan, you'll regret this!"
Uzumaki Mito shouted, unable to act in the meeting room, resorting to yelling at Uchiha Nan.
"Quiet, Uzumaki Mito, I'm the Hokage!"
Uchiha Nan responded, echoing a famous line.
Oh no, I'm Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Uchiha Nan sighed, marveling at life's unpredictability and this iconic scene's recurrence.
Is there a world line correction in the Naruto universe?
Uchiha Nan rubbed his temples, clearing his mind of distractions.
Anyone opposing his money-making plan was an enemy!
He had no patience for warnings about risk; he just wanted to make money now!
Why envy the daimyo's wealth?
He wanted to act and become wealthier than them!
Uchiha Nan couldn't endure financial worries daily.
Fortune is found in risk, and this was a clear money-making opportunity!
After Uzumaki Mito was escorted out, Uchiha Nan surveyed the room with a stern expression and slowly said:
"Does anyone else have objections?"
The room remained silent. They'd seen Uzumaki Mito's fate.
Without her status, speaking out could lead to imprisonment by ANBU.
"Then it's settled!"
"All Konoha matters are on hold. Focus on the upcoming war, the futures plan, and battle preparations!"
"Uchiha Tomita, handle the battle mobilization. Keep it secret for now; I'll need your support!"
"Lu Yuan, assist with implementing the futures plan!"
"Today's meeting is top-secret. No leaks allowed!"
Uchiha Nan issued orders, exercising his Hokage authority.
During war, the Hokage's words are commands, and none can defy them.
"Dismissed!"
The meeting ended in a somber atmosphere.
Attendees left with low spirits.
Because of the impending war!
Because of the impending financial strain!
And because of Uchiha Nan's futures plan, which seemed unreliable no matter how it was viewed.
This Konoha is doomed!
In the Senju clan's land
After the meeting, Senju Momoma returned to his room alone, humming a tune. He was in high spirits today.
Uchiha Nan had "invited" his mother, Uzumaki Mito, out of the meeting. Outwardly angry, he secretly welcomed it.
He knew Uzumaki Mito was right, and Uchiha Nan's futures plan was nonsense.
Is that what a ninja should do?
If Uchiha Nan's actions failed, he'd immediately unite all ninja clans to impeach Uchiha Nan and remove him as Hokage.
No matter how strong Uchiha Nan is, can he defeat all of Konoha alone?
Don't be ridiculous!
After all, Uchiha is just a group of reckless fighters.
