Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

Uchiha Nan sat in his chair, feeling a bit weary. The ninjas in Konoha were too rigid in their thinking.

Missions, missions—how much money can you really make from missions?

After working so hard, an S-level mission only earns a few million ryo, and some even earn just over a million. Is that really the work of a Kage-level warrior?

"Sit down, why are you both standing there?"

Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Tomita and Nara Shikaon, who were standing like subordinates before him. After Uchiha Nan spoke, the two of them sat down at ease.

Compared to Nara Shikaon, Uchiha Tomita seemed a bit uneasy. His earlier hesitation was a little risky.

He hesitated at a critical moment. If loyalty isn't absolute, then it's absolutely disloyal!

However, Uchiha Nan wasn't too concerned about him. He still had confidence in Uchiha Tomita. His ideas were indeed very advanced for the current era, and it was normal for ninjas accustomed to fighting not to understand.

Uchiha Nan tasked Uchiha Tomita with preparing a war mobilization plan and wanted to discuss the futures plan with Nara Shikaon.

Uchiha Nan had to focus on the futures plan. Nara Shikaon was a smart man, and with his help, there shouldn't be major issues.

"Shikaon, what do you think of my pig iron futures plan?"

Nara Shikaon pondered for a moment. While he didn't fully understand why Uchiha Nan believed in this so-called futures concept, he had already joined Uchiha Nan's team by accepting the position of Hokage assistant and could only do his best to advise him.

"Hokage, I understand the concept of futures you've mentioned. A critical issue now is solving the platform problem."

"Big businessmen and nobles have their own sales channels for pig iron. It's not easy to integrate these channels and put them on the futures platform you mentioned."

"There are too many interests involved. Konoha alone might not suffice. We need the daimyo's support."

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Nan nodded. The platform was indeed a big problem, even though promoting futures trading was profitable.

Big businessmen and nobles aren't foolish. Once this platform, which can increase pig iron prices without spot trading, is implemented, it represents huge profits. Why hand it over to Konoha?

The guarantee contract could be outsourced to the ninja village. Once these parties understand the key points, they might exclude Konoha and monopolize the ninja world's profits!

"Then go and speak with the daimyo. I'll leave this to you and Hinata Takuma. I only want results, not the process!"

"Go now!"

Uchiha Nan's eyes flashed with determination. Anyone who dared to block his path to wealth would pay the price!

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Shikaon swallowed nervously, clearly shaken by Uchiha Nan's resolve. Integrating channels was challenging, with intertwined interests. Who knew how many people would be affected?

Nara Shikaon approached Hinata Takuma, and together they set off for the capital of the Land of Fire to meet the daimyo that night.

Capital of the Land of Fire

In the reception hall, Nara Shikaon and Hinata Takuma soon met the daimyo. After brief pleasantries, Nara Shikaon explained their purpose.

Futures?

What a fascinating idea!

The daimyo was surprised by Uchiha Nan's business acumen. He wasn't concerned about the looming Ninja World War. As a non-ninja, the war didn't directly affect him.

He cared only if this futures business could make money. Truth be told, he was short on cash. His ministers and nobles were dishonest, evading taxes in various ways. All the money they earned was his!

"Daimyo, Konoha might face another war. The previously allocated funds may need replenishing, and you'll have to subsidize the funds again." Hinata Takuma stepped in, seeing the daimyo's hesitation.

More money?

The daimyo was uneasy. He had just given a large sum. With Konoha's old wounds still healing, future funds might need to increase.

This hit a sore spot for the daimyo.

"The Land of Fire isn't wealthy. You know my subordinates are becoming more restless, not paying taxes, and the accounts are a mess. They simply don't take me, the daimyo, seriously."

The daimyo of the Land of Fire subconsciously started to complain. He truly lacked funds. This year's allocations had been paid once. To appease Konoha and aid in recovery, another large amount was given. Any more, and he'd be stretched thin.

"So Konoha wants to open a new revenue stream to ease your burden."

"The key to the futures business is insider information and guarantees. Trust Konoha's capability. This will surely become one of the most profitable businesses in the ninja world. Konoha can share intelligence with you, the daimyo."

"I'm sure you're aware of the merchants' and nobles' greed for the pig iron business. They're behind us in intelligence. This way, we will..."

The daimyo's eyes lit up. He'd long been frustrated with greedy merchants and nobles. Protected by influential figures, they sometimes even dared to deceive him. Many were punished, but their greed persisted.

Nara Shikaon noticed the daimyo's interest and quickly added, "Daimyo, Hokage takes this matter very seriously. He reminded me before coming here that he only cares about the result, not the process!"

Before arriving, Nara Shikaon and Hinata Takuma had planned their roles: one as the good cop, the other as the bad cop. Now, they had to push the daimyo to decide.

"Is that so?"

The daimyo felt some empathy. Uchiha Nan's impressive power in the arena and his subordinates' greed fueled his anger. Moreover, the potential profits from this business convinced the daimyo.

Damn it, let's do it!

"Since Lord Hokage values this business so much, I must give him face, and my subordinates really need discipline. I agree to this."

"However, the relationships involved are extensive. Even with my support, it will be challenging."

The daimyo spoke truthfully. After all, it's an agrarian country with ninja world characteristics. In such a large country, many issues are beyond his reach.

"I understand, sir. You just need to make your stance clear, and leave the rest to Konoha."

Hinata Takuma replied respectfully, unable to hide his excitement. With the daimyo's nod, the matter was halfway resolved. Konoha was adept at handling the rest.

Invite, behead, recruit as loyal followers!

Obedient ones get rewards; disobedient ones face dire consequences.

With the daimyo's endorsement, they could legitimately send offenders to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
