Naruto: My mother, Haruno Sakura, is so smart that she is almost a demon

These days, Sakura and Tsunade have been very busy raising money for charity.

Under the pressure of huge debts, both of them burst out with amazing action.

The first day was spent talking to the various ninja clans, the second day was spent raising money, and the third day was spent carving a monument;

On the fourth day, Tsunade once again gathered all the members of Konoha to hold a ceremony to inaugurate the monument of merit.

With the joint efforts of more than ten ninjas, a stone tablet about twenty meters high was transported to an open space in front of the Hokage Rock and erected.

At this time, the stone tablet was still covered with a piece of red cloth.

"Konoha has just experienced a disaster..."

Tsunade jumped directly onto the stone tablet and began her second speech after taking over as Hokage.

"Thanks to your enthusiastic donations, Konoha has been able to recover!

In order to express my gratitude to you all, I decided to erect a monument to commemorate you so that every donor can be respected by future generations!

Now I declare, unveil the curtain!"

"Oh!"

"awesome!"

......

Tsunade's passionate speech made the audience cheer.

Tsunade also winked at Sakura, and Sakura moved her fingers, and a pink chakra line directly lifted the red cloth covering the stone tablet, and the words carved on it were revealed to the world.

"The Fifth Hokage Tsunade erects this monument to thank the generous Konoha ninjas:

887 ninjas of the Hyuga clan donated a total of 8900 million taels

330 ninjas from the Nara clan donated a total of 3500 million taels

The Akimichi clan, 286 ninjas, donated a total of 3500 million taels

......

Takeda Riku donated 300 taels"

As the curtain was lifted, those who had donated money began to look for their names on the stone tablet with great enthusiasm.

But not everyone felt happy. Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En and Sarutobi Mitsusuke, who also attended the ceremony, had grim expressions.

Because there were so many donors that they had to be recorded in two columns, and their family name "just happened" to be at the bottom of the first column.

What was even more unacceptable to them was that the Uchiha clan "just happened" to be above their family:

"...

Uchiha clan 1 ninja donated a total of 11 taels

270 Shimura clan ninjas donated 10 ryo

366 ninjas from the Tentane clan donated 10 ryo

Mitomon clan 212 ninjas donated 10 ryo

1487 ninjas from the Sarutobi clan donated a total of 10 ryo.

Tsunade and Sakura's intentions are self-evident. They deliberately use Uchiha Sasuke to disgust them.

The total donation of one person is more than that of your entire clan combined. Do you love Konoha so much?

"Oh, I was tricked."

Utane Koharu sighed softly.

Many ninjas also discovered the strangeness of this donation list, and turned their inquiring eyes to Utane Koharu and the others.

Several elderly people were so embarrassed that they fled from the spot.

They had never expected that Tsunade would create the merit monument. They were expecting Tsunade to come to them for help after being overwhelmed by the debt, but they ended up losing more than they gained.

"Yan, what should we do now? Will we be infamous forever?"

Koharu Utane asked her old classmate.

"No, we still have a way. Tsunade used the money to plug the hole. We can expose this matter and create public opinion to let Tsunade push down the stone tablet herself."

Mitokado En expressed his opinion, and both Utane Koharu and Sarutobi Mitsuru thought that what he said was a good idea.

"It's no use."

But before they could feel proud for long, Sakura's childish voice shattered their fantasy. The three of them quickly turned around to look at Sakura, who had caught up with them at some point.

Sakura squinted her eyes and looked at them with a smile on her face:

“Master went to the daimyo’s prefecture the day before yesterday and convinced the prefecture to waive the interest-free loan for training ninjas during the Sandaime’s time, and at the same time applied for a reconstruction loan in an amount equal to the waived loan.

All the money raised this time will be used to repay the loan.”

Sakura's words made the three people's heads buzz. They understood that Tsunade had changed the name of the debt. Although the amount was the same, in this way, the money was nominally used for the reconstruction of Konoha.

They also didn't expect that Sakura and Tsunade had even thought about how they would fight back in advance.

"I came here to remind you that it is not too late to make additional donations now. After all, carving a stone tablet is not a difficult task..."

Sakura smiled and hinted to them that if they paid money, they could re-carve the stone tablet.

Several people looked at each other and had no choice but to agree to make additional donations.

Money and such are not important now, as long as my family's name is not suppressed by the Uchiha...

However, things went against their wishes. The next day, when they saw the stone tablet again, they almost vomited blood. Their family was still at the end of the first column of the stone tablet, but there were a few more words at the end:

"...

Uchiha clan 1 ninja donated a total of 11 taels

Shimura clan 270 ninjas donated 10 ryo + 3000 million ryo

The Tentane clan has 366 ninjas and donated 10 ryo + 3000 million ryo.

Mitomon clan 212 ninjas donated 10 ryo + 3000 million ryo

The Sarutobi clan, 1487 ninjas, donated a total of 10 ryo + 3000 million ryo."

Any ninja with a little bit of brains can see from this unique way of recording that these families felt it was shameful to donate less money, and they made additional donations out of necessity.

Tsunade, who was hiding nearby and secretly observing the expressions of several people, smiled in relief:

"I've let you guys trip me up, how can I let you off easily?"

Tsunade didn't expect that Sakura only used a little trick to get nearly 6 million in funding for her, not only paying off the loan, but even having a lot of surplus.

"Master, you look very happy."

Sakura, who was standing by, also noticed that Tsunade was in a good mood.

"Of course, I finally don't have to live a tight life anymore!"

Tsunade felt that she had finally managed to hold herself back.

"Master, it's too early to be happy now. This method can only be used once. Konoha's current financial situation is still not optimistic. If we don't find a way to generate income, it won't be long before we run out of money."

Sakura poured a bucket of cold water on Tsunade at the right time.

"So what should we do? Sakura, do you have any way to make money?"

Tsunade also realized the seriousness of the matter and subconsciously asked Sakura for help.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution!"

Sakura said as she took Tsunade's arm and led her towards the Hokage's office, their receding backs looking like a mother and daughter.

Of course, both Sakura and Tsunade feel that they are more like mothers.

As soon as she returned to the office, Tsunade saw two documents on her desk:

Implementation Plan for Medical Insurance and Loans

"Implementation Plan for Konoha's Education Reform"

Seeing these two documents, Tsunade frowned:

The Education Department and the Medical Department are both under the charge of Koharu Utatane. Could it be that Sakura meant...

"That's right!"

Sakura saw Tsunade's expression and knew that she had guessed her intention.

"In order to divide the remaining strength of the Third Generation, the best approach is to win over some and fight some to divide them.

Although Elder Tsunetsukoharu is obsessed with power, he does not have such great ambitions. He only wants to protect his own piece of land. His family is also average in strength, so he is our best candidate for winning over."
