Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 56 If the direction of the flow of people is the direction of civilization—the Akatsuki Village is undoubtedly civilization!
Everything in Akatsuki Village is developing in an orderly manner as planned by Uchiha Makoto.

As soon as the merchants who came in, they felt the atmosphere of Xiaonin Village, that is - vitality. It can be fully described as a state of vigorous vitality and flourishing of all things!

With the massive influx of funds, Xiaonin Village is a huge consumer market. Profitable places will attract a lot of popularity.

Where people gather, that’s where life is!
Uchiha Makoto has been trying to attract investment recently and try to attract as many businessmen as possible from the ninja world, not only from the Land of Fire, but also from the other four major countries.

The more active the merchants are.

The economy will definitely be more developed!

Needless to say, this is of great benefit to Akatsuki Village.

The GDP of a ninja village is really important!

My system ringtone is ringing continuously, and my prosperity level is rising!

"According to Master Guangying's plan, this area will become the largest commercial district in the entire ninja world, and the land opposite will be a technology park, with laboratories alone occupying an area."

Sato Kazuma introduced Uchiha Makoto's business plan in front of a large group of investors. They found a group of noble merchants from the Land of Fire through Darkness's father's connections.

Some time ago.
This is actually still a wasteland.

But the construction team and the ninjas of Akatsuki Village worked day and night. For ninjas, building a large number of habitable houses was very easy. With a few earth escape techniques and a little stacking, the outline of a house appeared.

The ninjas of the ninja clan didn't want to get involved in these things. Working like ordinary people is not what a ninja should do.

Moreover, the ninja clan, who have been fighting all their lives, cannot quite understand the purpose of Uchiha Makoto's fancy business promotion policies. It is really too difficult to expect them to quickly understand new things and put them into practice immediately.

Moreover, the old-school ninjas are still quite stubborn in some aspects, but Uchiha Makoto does not intend to argue or explain with them.

It’s okay if you don’t understand.

They just need to get things done.

Obey orders and be loyal!
Don’t you know how to do this?
Just follow the Ninja Tool Theory!
You like to carry out missions, right?

Uchiha Makoto issued a large number of D-level tasks at one time. It was not like he was not paying for them. These simple C-level earth escape techniques could be done, and for those elite jonin, it was just a piece of cake. It just consumed a little more chakra.

By creating more shadow clones, you can complete several D-level tasks at one time.

You can make money without leaving your home, although there are fewer individual tasks.

But the quantity is too large!

The accumulated amount is quite a large number. Under Uchiha Makoto's arrangement, the first ninja to take the plunge soon appeared, and then more and more ninjas who were good at earth escape joined in.

It is not unacceptable to be able to make a small fortune easily and work with ordinary people. The law of true fragrance will never go out of date!

The wasteland soon disappeared, and was replaced by rows of shops available for rent, some of which were already occupied by merchants.

The ninjas of Akatsuki Village would shop in the store from time to time and soon enjoyed the convenience.

Who doesn’t want a convenience store right at their doorstep?

Facing and really introducing them one by one.

The wealthy merchants showed extremely excited expressions.

Ninjas go through wind and rain, putting their heads on the line to complete their missions, and are never stingy with money. If you come here to do business in the ninja village, you will definitely not lose money.

And more importantly.

Safety!

The ninja world does a very good job in environmental protection. It can be said that there are forests everywhere, the roads are rugged, and transportation is quite inconvenient. Caravans will encounter wild beasts from time to time when they go out to do business, and step on some colorful little cuties.

To ensure safety.

The trade routes opened up by wealthy merchants at great expense are basically fixed.

But what about the security in the ninja world?
There are many wandering ninjas and bandits along the trade routes who are unable to survive and are waiting for these caravans.

If a caravan is rich and powerful, they can hire ninjas as guards. Although the price is high, it is worth it. If a caravan is poor and powerless, they can only take their chances. If they are unlucky, they may lose both the people and the goods.

But things are different now.

To promote the development of commerce in Akatsuki Village, Uchiha Makoto issued licenses and flags to every business that set up shop there. Businesses could openly display their flags without worrying about roaming ninjas or bandits. While roaming ninjas and bandits might rob merchants, would they dare steal from the entire village?
They are in the business of no-cost transactions, not directly running the crematorium business. Anyone with a normal cerebellum will know whose things can be robbed and whose things cannot be robbed.

Unless they really don't want to die.
After a brief introduction.

The wealthy merchants who came to Akatsuki Village had already made up their minds to sign a cooperation agreement with Akatsuki Village.

Kazuma sent away a group of wealthy merchants.

He came to Uchiha Makoto's office with the signed cooperation agreement in his hand.

Light and Shadow Office.

There was a red banner on Uchiha Makoto's desk, and the warm sunlight shone on him, relaxing his body and mind.

soon.

He then wrote a row of big words on the red banner.

"All actions are subject to the command of Master Light and Shadow!"

Although there are still many things waiting for Uchiha Makoto to deal with, he is definitely not slacking off now. Instead, he is imitating advanced experiences. He plans to post red banners with similar sentences all over the Akatsuki Village. Some things must be influenced subtly and bit by bit.

Ninja School is the top priority!
Education must start from childhood!

"Master Guangying, the business promotion plan is going smoothly. Currently, there are more than a hundred shops with merchants settled in."

Kazuma looked at the red banners all over the room. Although the words on each banner were different, in his eyes, they were all filled with the word "loyalty"!
"There are only about 100 stores. It's still a bit slow."

Uchiha Makoto curled his lips.

Although Kazuma felt that the speed was already very fast, he was actually not satisfied with the current speed. He had to make Akatsuki Village famous for its excellent business environment as quickly as possible.

It seems that some extraordinary measures must be taken!

"Kazuma, do you know which are the most influential newspapers in the Land of Fire?"

"Master Light and Shadow, what do you mean?"

Kazuma rubbed his head.

But as soon as Uchiha Makoto opened his mouth, he felt that the Lord of Light and Shadow in front of him was going to cause trouble again.

"I want to write an article on it. Please contact the editor of the newspaper and ask them to publish my article on the largest page."

"Yeah, no problem."

Kazuma nodded. If that was all, it would be an easy task.

But
What is Master Guangying going to write?

"Pen and ink are at your service!"

Uchiha Makoto pondered for a while, then began to write.

[A gold shop in Akatsuki Village suddenly fell into darkness, and the shop was completely dark.]

A few clanging sounds were heard in the darkness—the counter glass was shaken by the frantic customers. The store manager immediately shouted, "Everyone, stay still! Crouch down where you are to prevent being trampled!" He then added, "Anyone holding gold jewelry, hold it tight and don't drop it and bang it."

A few minutes passed, and the shop still hadn't recovered. A gloomy gray enveloped the interior. The store manager took a deep breath and continued, "According to the rules, all sales were suspended. But this customer is the Sage of Six Paths, and I can't let you go home empty-handed—" He paused, then continued, "Please place your selected gold jewelry back on the tray. We'll record the weight and price. Once the lighting is restored, if you still decide to purchase, you'll be charged the original price. If you don't want to, we won't force you to buy."

Before the patrolling ninjas arrived, customers formed two lines: one gently placed their gold necklaces, rings, and bracelets back on the velvet trays and reported their weights. The other, staff, wrote the customers' last names on the labels with a marker before locking them all in the glass case. Five minutes later, the store was brightly lit. Every piece of gold jewelry on the trays was intact, and even the scattered gold threads had been twisted into bundles and returned to their original places.

The owner opened the register: 37 items in total, priced at a combined 187 million taels. In the end, none of the 37 customers left, all paying according to the prices listed before the lights went out. The last elderly woman, after paying, deposited her 2000 taels of change into the "Love and Education Aid Box" next to the counter, smiling and saying, "Gold has a price, but the light of the heart is priceless. Please use this money to buy books for my children." The next day, a red note was posted at the entrance of the gold shop: "Yesterday, I returned 37 pieces of change, and received 2000 taels of warmth. Thank you all!"

[What a civilized, harmonious, honest, and orderly ninja village this is! ]

Someone, who preferred not to be named, praised: "A ninja village's business environment isn't determined by how many powerful ninjas it has, but rather by the personal qualities of its grassroots residents. Clearly, Akatsuki has an exceptionally good business environment. Villagers could have obtained gold for free, but they gave it up, choosing instead to pay honestly."

[If I were a businessman, I would immediately move to Xiaonin Village to do business! ]

If the current ninja world allowed humans to migrate freely, then the direction of human flow would be the direction of civilization—there is no doubt that Akatsuki Village is civilization!
