Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

He was allowed to leave during work hours, and he initially thought Kato Hisashi was some kind of leader, but it turned out he was actually the factory's general manager! In charge of all affairs!

Wouldn't that make him the big boss, the top leader?

"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"Alright, you can go back first, or you can walk around the area and take a look at the surroundings. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Ueno wasn't stupid; he understood a bit about social etiquette and so on. He immediately bowed to Kato Tsune and said, "Please take care, sir!"

Kato Hisashi shook his head with a helpless smile. Judging from Ueno's condition, he knew what kind of life he had been living before.

He was just an ordinary person, and most of the people in the factory were ordinary people as well, with only a few being ninjas who were responsible for more dangerous and arduous work.

So there are no adults or children here; everyone is a villager from Konoha.

Kato Tsuneya never used his power to oppress or coerce people.

This is also why he was given important responsibilities and trust by the Hokage. Now his daughter also works in the Hokage Building and has been taken in as a disciple by the Hokage's secretary. She is very likely to become the secretary of the next Hokage.

He, as the father, was also very proud.

Of course, although Kato Tsune was always low-key and did not use his power to oppress others, all the major clans in Konoha Village respected him.

Because the background is really quite frightening.

He has never made a mistake in all these years since he was personally appointed by Qu Feng, and he receives praise and rewards every few months.

Moreover, his older brother is a Six Paths level ninja; who would dare to mess with someone like that?

But Kato Tsune didn't care about any of that; he was only thinking about how to complete the task assigned to him by Tokifuru in the best possible way.

After jogging down the mountain, we entered the Hokage Building.

On the mountain, Ueno did not leave immediately after watching his superior leave.

Having finally made it up here exhausted, he was determined to take a look around.

"The main reason is that I didn't eat enough today. I need to rest properly tomorrow, otherwise I'll be out of breath even on the way up the mountain, and my colleagues will laugh at me to death."

He didn't want to be labeled a weakling as soon as he arrived at the factory, drawing ridicule from his colleagues.

Ueno walked slowly to the edge of the cliff. He was afraid to stand for fear of falling, so he sat down cross-legged.

The view overlooking Konoha Village from here was so breathtaking that it gave Ueno goosebumps all over.

"Konoha Village is huge! It's more than twice the size of the Land of Water's capital!"

He also noticed that there was a vacant lot outside the village, which was obviously newly renovated and stood out from the rest of the place, with no grass at all.

"This must be what Lord Yahiko was talking about—another expansion. They really have a lot of money."

With Konoha Village in front of him and the factory behind him, Ueno observed that many workers were busy going in and out of the various factories.

However, none of them looked worried; they were all in good spirits and had rosy complexions.

You can tell how well these people are living just by looking at their faces.

As for how he figured it out, Ueno can probably guess by comparing it with himself.

"A new life... Our family's new life is about to begin!"

Ueno had never felt that life was so hopeful.

When he was on the island, he just wanted to live a simple and peaceful life, going out to sea and fishing.

Unexpectedly, after moving, I ended up in such a miserable life, barely able to get enough to eat every day.

He had once observed the lives of the gentlemen in the aristocratic district from afar.

You can even drop hundreds of coins while walking.

Now that he's in Konoha Village, it seems he can finally live a good life.

Furthermore, if his child becomes a ninja, then their family will become a ninja family!

He transformed from a peasant into a nobleman!

This is what Ueno is most looking forward to, but even without the talent of a ninja, he still loves his child.

Then there are even more things to consider. He doesn't want his child to suffer, so he has to work even harder.

"That's enough for now. I'll go home first tonight and see if my wife has prepared dinner. It's been so long since I've had a proper meal."

On the way down the mountain, Ueno was still recalling the events of the day. In just half a day, his life had been turned upside down.

Fortunately, this was a turn for the better, leading to a qualitative change in his life.

"I could never repay even a fraction of Lord Qu Feng's great kindness in this lifetime."

"But I have children, and my children will have children. In this way, generation after generation, we will cultivate and develop Konoha Village, working hard to build the village, to repay Lord Torifuge's kindness..."

After Ueno came down the mountain, the ninjas watched him leave and couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what good luck! Lord Tofu specially brought him back from the Land of Water and even arranged a job for him."

"What I mean is, the wages for the two of us standing guard here are barely the same as those of the workers upstairs, but his wages are now the same as the wages for the two of us."

It wasn't a complaint, just a sigh. Their job was already very easy; they only needed to stand guard and didn't have to move or take any risks.

The fact that they can earn such high salaries is all thanks to the efforts of their entire family.

Some of it will also be handed over to the family at that time.

Those workers were all from ordinary families. They didn't have to worry about training or the wear and tear on their ninja tools when they earned a month's salary; they devoted almost all of it to their livelihood.

Those were truly comfortable days.

"Alright, we're already pretty good to have this job. Don't complain and let anyone hear us. If they move us both away, we'll have nowhere to cry."

"Yes, yes, let's just focus on our guard duty."

……

After coming down from the mountain, Kato Hisashi went straight to the Hokage Building.

Minato and Hiruzen had been waiting for a long time in the conference room on the second floor.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I just finished dealing with things at the factory, and then I ran into the new person that Lord Qufeng arranged. I chatted with him for a bit, so I'm a little late."

Minato waved his hand after hearing this: "It's alright. Since there's something to deal with, it should be taken care of first."

As for the arrangement of new recruits by Toru, he didn't ask any further questions, since Hiruzen was still there and it wasn't convenient to inquire about private matters.

"The main purpose of this small meeting is to discuss the laying of railway tracks, starting from our Konoha Village station and going straight to the Kingdom of the Wind."

Kato Tsune nodded: "The required length of the railway track has been calculated, and it is about ten kilometers longer than originally estimated, so we can start laying it now."

"The final section of rail is also under construction."

The estimated needs were completely different from the actual requirements, so we only started preparing to lay the cables now.

An extra ten kilometers may seem like a lot, but in reality, it's good enough if you can make up for it.
