Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

"Izuna, how much funding are you planning to apply for?" Uchiha Xiao asked calmly. He looked at his grandfather, Uchiha Izuna, and his heart was a little nervous. This was too much money.

Uchiha Izuna smiled and said, "I only need 50 billion." When Uchiha Izuna said this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that it would cost so much money, which would cost more than purchasing equipment for the hospital.

But what made them even more puzzled was that Uchiha Xiao was thinking on the side. He shook his head, and everyone thought that he did not want to approve this suggestion.

Uchiha Xiao said, "Fifty billion is not enough. If you want to implement this policy, you need at least one hundred billion. Uchiha Izuna, I will give you one hundred billion. The Senju and Hyuga clans will supervise and cooperate, and you will complete it together."

"We need to provide a small report on the road construction progress every five days and a large report every ten days. Detailed information is required, including the flow and destination of every penny of funds."

Everyone was shocked. One hundred billion? Five times the cost of a hospital, just to build a road. Is it really worth it?

Uchiha Xiao said, "If you want to get rich, build roads first. Izuna's idea can be said to be a hundred years ahead of the entire ninja world." Uchiha Xiao made the decision and set the direction.

Everyone had no objection. The specific situation was that Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga made their own decisions after the meeting.

Just like that, 1200 billion was gone. Uchiha Xiao sighed that money was really spent like water, but it was good for Konoha, so it should be spent no matter how expensive it was!

Nara Luming raised his hand, and Uchiha Xiao nodded, "Luming, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak."

Nara Rokumei came up to the stage and bowed like Tsunade and Uchiha Izuna before making a suggestion, "I think that Izuna-sama has already covered transportation among the four necessities of life, so let's talk about housing."

"In Konoha nowadays, most of the buildings of each family are one- or two-story residences, which occupy a large area, but there may not be that many people living there? I think. If we can build taller buildings, can we accommodate more people and make Konoha more prosperous?" Nara Shikaku said seriously.

This will hit the pain points of many families. Many family ninjas are proud of such big houses and villas, which symbolize their family's strength, economy and status.

Nara Rokumei's move undoubtedly cuts into their interests. How can this be allowed?

"The Ninja Clan has been using this type of building since ancient times. Lord Luming, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

"That's right. Today's houses represent the family's reputation. How can we just throw them away like that?"

"I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree!"

Nara Luming glanced at the people who were speaking and found that they were all from small families. Although the people from the big families looked unhappy, they would not speak in person.

Uchiha Xiao glanced at Nara Luming. He thought, "This is going to get involved in real estate. People who are involved in real estate are all dirty. I believe that since Luming proposed this, he must have had corresponding plans for various situations. I'll just wait and see."

Nara Luming took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, when we build a new house, we will pay you double the value of your original house as compensation. You can also choose to get a new house for free."

"This will not only increase the population that Konoha can accommodate, but also allow your relatives and friends to live together and enjoy family life." As soon as Nara Shikaku said this, the civilian ninjas were all interested.

They were civilian ninjas, not a family, and all they cared about were their relatives and friends, and the new house seemed to be able to meet their needs.

However, faced with so many families, they were just interested, and no one jumped out to observe.

Nara Luming spoke again, "Those who support us now can enjoy a 20% discount."

The civilian ninjas immediately raised their hands. "That's enough!" A house costs a lot of money, and this 20% discount will just relieve their stress. Besides, it's just a raise of your hand, so it won't hurt.

The clan ninjas looked gloomy. Nara Luming glanced at them and said, "Demolition and reconstruction must be approved by the clan leader before it can proceed. There will be no forced demolition. You can wait and see and decide on the style of the new house."

Now, all the ninja clans reached a consensus and raised their hands in agreement. After all, they were all from Konoha, and who didn't want Konoha's population to increase?

The more people there are, the more prosperous Konoha will become.

Uchiha Xiao nodded and said, "How much funding do you plan to apply for?"

Chapter 288 The Charm of Orochimaru

Nara Luming smiled and said, "Let's build a test area first. It will cost about 3 billion. Let's see what the results are and then decide whether to expand it."

After Nara Luming said this, everyone felt more relieved. As expected of the Nara family, he was smart. Even if he failed, it would not have much impact.

If successful, it would be a huge achievement and you could increase your investment. If you lose, you can stop the action and cut your losses in time. The current 4600 billion is a small number compared to billion. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

Uchiha Xiao nodded. He was not surprised. Nara Rokumei did have a business acumen, but the people in their family were all very stable.

"Okay, I'll give you a piece of land in a prosperous area of ​​the village to build a new house and conduct experiments when the time comes." Uchiha Xiao said.

Nara Shikaku shook his head and said, "Hokage-sama, I already have an idea about the land. It's across from the Hokage building."

Uchiha Xiao raised an eyebrow. Hmm? This guy... interesting. Is he closest to the Hokage Building? Nara Luming really has a sharp eye.

The opposing ninja clan leaders were stunned. Damn it! Where? Across from the Hokage Building? Near the political center! Shit! At the Hokage's feet!

Their minds became active and they looked at Nara Luming with burning eyes!

Uchiha Xiao nodded. "In that case, I agree. However, you have to pay them three times the market price for the land. And this is only this time. Build it on a busy street in the future."

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your help." Then he walked down. He knew that Uchiha Owl was helping him. Although it was only this time, it was enough for him to become famous and achieve great success!

When he returned to his seat, some clan leaders smiled and said, "Um, Lord Luming, I was a little loud just now. It's my fault. That new house..."

"After the new houses are built, they will be sold at a unified price with fair, just and open prices." Nara Luming said with a smile.

The man nodded, then stepped back with a look of delight on his face.

Next, it was Orochimaru's turn. He took the stage, saluted, and then said, "I believe everyone's quality of life has improved a lot recently, with mobile phones, refrigerators, color TVs, bicycles, and so on."

Everyone nodded with smiles on their faces. Everyone knew that this was something invented by Orochimaru. Although Uchiha Owl's description was ambiguous, it was amazing that he could make this ambiguous thing come true.

"Technology changes our lives. Technology is the primary productive force. There is no end to what technology can provide. I wonder if you have ever thought about why the medical equipment in the Hidden Cloud Village is so sophisticated?" Orochimaru glanced at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth, "That's technology!"

"Their country has invested a lot in science and technology, so they have the best surgical instruments. So I want to ask, can't we in Konoha do the same?"

"As the leader of the five major ninja villages, can't we do what the Hidden Cloud Village can do? No, we can do it! This is what I have always believed in!" Orochimaru's speech was extremely contagious and very persuasive.

Hearing this, more than 90% of the families were shocked and enthusiastic. Yes! If those barbarians in the Hidden Cloud Village could do it, why couldn't they?

Uchiha Izuna looked at Orochimaru solemnly. This guy's gestures and movements were extremely powerful and contagious, and what he said was not utopian, but something he could actually do.

He started by talking about the improvement in the quality of life. The hidden meaning behind this was that I did it to make everyone feel good about me, and then mobilize everyone's emotions towards the Hidden Cloud Village to prove that Konoha is not inferior to others.

This move has already captured the hearts of nearly 7% to 8% of the people, laying a good foundation for his next goal!

"It's amazing that Konoha still has such talents." Uchiha Izuna sighed. This action brought back the excitement on Senju Hashirama's face, and even Uchiha Madara who was obsessed with fantasizing about the future.

They looked at Uchiha Izuna with some confusion, but Senju Tobirama was not surprised. He knew very well what his elder brother was like, and it was within his expectation that Uchiha Madara was attracted just now.

"Izuna is indeed Izuna. She saw the clues here at a glance." Senju Tobirama said with a smile.

"This Orochimaru is a talented person. He is capable, courageous, and can incite people's emotions and use these emotions to lay the foundation for his own goals." Senju Tobirama said lightly.

"He has the potential to be a politician, a very strong potential. His body movements and words are so powerful and full of strength that people can't help but yearn for him." Uchiha Izuna said with a smile.

"Well, it's a good thing that he is from our Konoha, and it's also a good thing that he is a scientific researcher. If he were a politician, I might have to be wary of him." Senju Tobirama said lightly.

Hashirama Senju came back to his senses, scratched his head, and didn't understand what was going on.

Uchiha Madara nodded and looked at Orochimaru. This guy is so powerful!

Uchiha Xiao looked at this scene with a strange expression. This posture, this action, damn, Bread Brother?

Thinking that Orochimaru was engaged in scientific research and not art, Uchiha Xiao felt relieved. Although he knew that Orochimaru was very charismatic before coming to this world, he found that he was still too conservative when he saw him today.

"So, please believe me, I will engage in scientific research, let our Konoha be ahead of the other four countries, let our Konoha villagers enjoy a better quality of life, let our Konoha be more prosperous, and let the people of our Konoha hold their heads high and be proud in front of people from other countries!" Orochimaru swung his right hand and clenched his left fist in front of him!

"We believe you! Lord Orochimaru!"

"Lord Orochimaru has brought about earth-shaking changes in our lives. The advent of mobile phones allows us to contact friends at any time and pass on messages with just a phone call. It's so convenient!"

"Lord Orochimaru, are you still hiring for research?"

"Master Orochimaru!"

Uchiha Xiao was so impressed. He was really amazing! If he was a politician, Uchiha Xiao imagined that if Orochimaru was the fourth Hokage in the original work, he would be more suitable than the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the former fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato!

"Hokage-sama!" Orochimaru turned around and knelt on one knee. "Please allow Orochimaru to continue his scientific research, burn himself for Konoha, and illuminate everyone's wonderful future! Where Konoha dances, the fire will also continue to burn!"

Uchiha Xiao smiled, which was to tell him that I will only stay in the research institute for my whole life and will not cause any trouble. I will only work for the prosperity of Konoha.

Uchiha Xiao waved his hand, not to refuse, but to say that there was no need to say more. "Between you and me, there's no need to say more. Just tell me how much it costs."

Chapter 289 Meeting ends, new appointment

Orochimaru pondered, "Hokage-sama, I would like to approve 100 billion taels of silver for the research of precision parts and machine tools. With these, I will be able to achieve more results through their research."

His eyes were filled with excitement and excitement. He had mentioned this to the Third Hokage before, but the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Orochimaru, I have just taken over as Hokage, and Konoha is in a state of disrepair. I cannot afford to spend so much money on research."

No matter how much Orochimaru talked about the benefits, Sarutobi Hiruzen just shook his head and refused. When asked, he just said he had no money.

And at that time, Orochimaru only applied for 50 million silver taels...

Uchiha Xiao nodded. "Okay, I absolutely believe in you and support you. However, since your research direction is high-tech products, you only need to report the money you spent and where the money was spent. You will master the core technology yourself. Once you succeed, send me a copy."

"No one is allowed to enter the laboratory. Violators will be labeled as traitors and severely punished." Uchiha Xiao said seriously.

His voice was full of determination, making everyone understand the importance of this matter.

"In addition, 4600 billion will be set aside as reserve funds for scientific research. In other words, there are only 1400 billion left out of the billion." Uchiha Xiao said lightly.

His decision stunned Orochimaru, shocked everyone else, and made the villagers frown. Wasn't this a bit too much emphasis on technology?

Orochimaru was deeply moved. He secretly vowed to develop the best equipment and produce the best results to repay Uchiha Owl's trust and attention.

Due to the psychological guidance from Orochimaru's previous speech, more than 80% of the families immediately raised their hands in support. The remaining 20% ​​of the families saw that the Hokage and other families supported it, so they also supported it.

Now there are only 1400 billion taels of silver left, and Shimura Danzo has taken 400 billion to be used for the renovation of the school's ninja tools and as bonuses for outstanding students.

The final 100 billion was decided to be deposited in the Konoha Finance Office, and talents would be selected in the future to open the Konoha Bank and establish a loan business, so that the money could flow and make money.

The meeting lasted for two days and two nights before it was finally adjourned. Uchiha Izuna was appointed as the director of Konoha's traffic management department, responsible for the road construction tasks between Konoha and other villages. The traffic management department was established from that day on, and civil servants were drawn from various families or recruited through public examinations, who were mainly responsible for road planning and construction in the next three years.

Nara Rokumei was appointed as the head of Konoha's urban construction department. He was selected from various families or passed the examination to join the staff. He was responsible for the construction of new houses in Konoha Village in the next ten years. He could propose the demolition of illegal buildings, but he had to report to the Hokage for negotiation.

Tsunade Senju was appointed as the Minister of the Health Department, responsible for supervising and managing the hospital's hygiene, safety and health, and the integrity of doctors, and also serving as the director of Konoha Hospital.

Finally, the Konoha Disciplinary Investigation Team was established with Uchiha Madara as the team leader and Senju Hashirama as the deputy team leader. They were responsible for supervising disciplinary issues among officials from all walks of life and departments. After obtaining evidence, they could place civil servants under double supervision, restrict their personal freedom, and kill them on the spot if they resisted.

The expressions of many civil servants attending the meeting changed. They originally held power, but now with the appearance of the disciplinary investigation Xiaozu, a sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads.

It seems to be telling them that if they want to get rich, don’t become officials, and if they want to be officials, don’t get rich, and do everything to serve the villagers!

Moreover, if they resisted arrest, they would be killed on the spot. Who would be the team leader? Uchiha Madara? Senju Hashirama? Forget it, it's better not to resist.

Uchiha Madara was stunned. He originally came here to watch the show, but who would have thought that his beloved grandson would actually find him such a position that supervises all officials and holds real power.

"Discipline, style, corruption..." Uchiha Madara sneered, then snorted, hahahahahaha!

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he was laughing at, but they felt a chill on their backs!

"For such an important task, I, Hashirama Senju, will definitely assist Uchiha Madara and manage this team well. I personally am very disgusted with corruption!" Hashirama Senju had a serious expression on his face, which made many officials sigh. They had to work hard in the future and serve the villagers conscientiously.
