Konoha: Reborn Uchiha, one wish every day

Like the golden glitter of the future.

"I'm glad you understand!"

Seeing that his fellow tribesmen had figured everything out without him having to persuade them, Hatake Sakumo immediately smiled happily.

Of course, deep inside the smile, there is actually deep worry and entanglement.

Because he knew very well that the neutrals were actually not much different from fence-sitters!

In the future, there will definitely be a war between the ninja alliance headed by Uchiha and the third generation.

By then, as a neutral party, it is very likely that you will not be able to please both sides, so don't be eliminated in advance.

It's almost impossible to stay completely out of it.

Especially since he has already invested in the steel company, it can be said that he owes a favor to the Uchiha.

You can't just hide away if you want to.

What? You said you paid for the steel company shares, so how can that be considered a favor to the Uchiha?

Haha! Even a fool knows that the Uchiha Steel Company is bound to make a lot of money under such technical conditions.

Uchiha himself was well aware of this.

Then why is he bidding for shares like dividing a cake?

Naturally, this is to win over more allies of interest in this way.

The Hatake clan is no exception.

This is equivalent to giving money to build relationships.

As long as you accept it, you will naturally owe a favor to the Uchiha.

If you are willing to stand on the Uchiha side, then everything is fine and you don't have to repay this favor.

It can be regarded as a welcome gift or a benefit for joining the company.

If you accept the benefits and still want to remain neutral or even stand on the opposite side of Uchiha, then you will become the enemy of Uchiha.

Hatake Sakumo was not good at thinking about these things, and in fact he could not think of such a thing.

But after three generations of scolding and "guidance", he has completely understood it.

Therefore, the Third Generation wanted him to cut ties with the Uchiha clan, stand against the Uchiha clan, pretend to be on good terms with the Uchiha clan, and become a thorn in the side of the Uchiha clan's interest alliance.

Hatake Sakumo refused without hesitation.

That is why he was optimized by the third generation.

His original position as captain of the Anbu was also taken away.

But Hatake Sakumo didn't really care.

...

In the Hokage's office,

At this moment, Utane Koharu looked at the Sandai with a burning gaze and said, "Huruzen! There are so many companies that can bid this time. You must help each of the families behind us secure at least one share in one company!"

"I know that your disciple Orochimaru is deeply involved in this research institute!"

“He also has a hand in these technologies;”

"Besides, Orochimaru is different from Tsunade. You raised him and he is very close to you. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is your biological son!"

"Is there going to be no problem this time?"

Last time, because Tsunade stood on the opposite side of them, they were unable to use Tsunade's connections to gain shares. Now, they feel that their chance has come.

However, the third generation smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "This is already outdated!"

"Ever since the last research institute opened, Danzo and I approached Orochimaru, hoping to get a stake in the institute through him. We even asked him to help us monitor everything in the institute and copy all the results. Since then, Orochimaru and I have basically fallen out!"

"what?"

Mizutomon En was shocked when he heard this: "How could this be? Orochimaru is also an ungrateful person? How did you accept a disciple, Hiruzen?"

Now, their plan has failed.

"Well... you can't say we've completely fallen out!"

Seeing this, the Third Hokage shook his head again and said, "It's just that the fight that happened, coupled with some things in the past, has caused some estrangement between Orochimaru and me. Our relationship is not as close as it used to be!"

"But if it's just these companies bidding for shares, I might be able to get some if I ask for mercy!"

After hearing this, the worry on Tsutomu Koharu's face disappeared immediately, and they were delighted and were about to say something.

But the next moment, the third generation said: "But don't have too high expectations. After all, it is still the Uchiha and Mito-sama who are controlling this;"

"Who they want to choose is probably not something Orochimaru can easily influence;"

"Given our relationship with them, there's little hope of successfully bidding in the name of the ninja clan behind us."

"But I've looked into all these industries. They require land, mineral resources, and village infrastructure policy support. They can't be developed independently without the village!"

"So, no matter what, at least we still have the village's share as a backup;"

"Don't worry about us not making any money from this!"

In particular, the village’s guaranteed share is often quite large, much more than the ordinary bidding share!

"That's true!"

After hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En nodded with somewhat grim expressions: "That being said, these shares ultimately belong to the village. We can occupy them now, but we can't keep them forever."

They still have self-awareness and do not think that they can always be the top leaders of Konoha, nor do they think that the ninja clan behind them will continue to control power after they retire.

After all, they are not the third generation, and the ninja clan behind them is not the Sarutobi clan.

"If we don't have shares in our own family company, I'm afraid the gap between us and the families that have invested will become increasingly larger in the future!"

Utane Koharu complained.

"indeed!"

Mitomonen nodded solemnly after hearing this and said, "Hirozen, have you noticed this? Over the past six months, whether it's the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, or the Hatake, Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other ninja clans, their enthusiasm for taking on more dangerous roles has greatly decreased due to the monthly dividends and skyrocketing family income!"

"At the same time, their respective families have become more affluent. With sufficient financial resources, their clan's strength is rapidly increasing."

“This is not a good thing for us;”

"What belongs to the village is ultimately the village. We have to embezzle and divide up the dividends that belong to the village. We can't use them openly, so we can only do it secretly."

"But these families are completely different!"

"If this continues, there will be problems!"

He didn't think that their misappropriation of public funds could continue as time went on.

This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested.

It will inevitably become a handle in their hands to attack them.

"Ah! How could I not know it?"

The Sandaime listened, sighed deeply, and said with a sad face: "But as I said before, the Uchiha and Mito-sama are behind this matter;"

"Do you think that given the strained relationship we have with them right now, they'll allow us to successfully bid under the family name?"

"Impossible! No one is stupid enough to actually do something like this to aid the enemy!"

“Even if they are willing to give the village shares, they are forced to do so because these industries cannot be circumvented by the village;”

"Even so, they've made their calculations and tied the shares firmly to the village. They anticipated that we would embezzle them and wanted to use this as leverage against us in the future."

"So, don't even think about it."

He is not stupid, how could he not see the Uchiha's sinister intentions?

But what can he do even if he knows?

So, will we not use these dividends to subsidize family expenses?

You have to know that the Sarutobi clan does not have many fixed industries in Konoha, and even fewer in the ninja world.

But they maintained an increasingly large ninja system.

The amount of money needed every month is enormous, and it is simply not something that can be supported by Sarutobi Hiruzen's small industry.

If they don't embezzle the village's funds, the Sarutobi clan will either have to eat dirt or reduce the supply of financial resources to the clan members and reduce the training of the clan members.

But this was unacceptable to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was determined to strengthen the Sarutobi clan and turn Konoha into Sarutobi Village.

Therefore, continued misappropriation, or even further misappropriation, becomes inevitable.

In fact, because of the dividend income from the steel company, he also greatly increased the financial investment in his tribe members, just to accelerate the improvement of their strength.

So that in the future, he could suppress any disobedience in the village with absolute strength.

He is actually racing against time with the Uchiha. It depends on who can develop better and who can gain the advantage and initiative in the end.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu roared angrily, "Why is it that we don't get a chance to make money like this?"

"Why are Uchiha so lucky?"

"Also, Hiruzen, what did you do to cause Orochimaru to betray you and fall out with you?"

Utane Koharu couldn't understand.

"Uh... ahem! Well..."

The Sandaime heard this and cleared his throat awkwardly. Under Koharu Utane's pointed gaze, he had no choice but to reply, "Actually, my real purpose of transferring him to the Root to monitor Danzo and letting him do some of the dirty work was discovered by Orochimaru!"

"It caused a rift in our relationship and we drifted further and further apart!"

"Of course, this has a lot to do with Orochimaru becoming increasingly obsessed with his research on the path to immortality. It's not entirely my fault."

"I'm afraid it's more than that?"

Utatane Koharu immediately understood what was going on, and sneered at the Third Hokage, saying, "I see you wanted to train Shinnosuke to become the Fourth Hokage, but then you discovered that Shinnosuke wasn't talented enough, so you wanted to train someone to control Orochimaru and become the Fourth Hokage instead."

"But in the end, you found that you couldn't control Orochimaru;"

"Furthermore, the forces and supporters behind Orochimaru are increasing, making you feel threatened;"

"Therefore, you have to give up on him and even destroy his chance of becoming Hokage."

"So, you let him join the Root not only to monitor Danzo, but also to make him the next Danzo, to take over the Root in the future and become the right-hand man of the Fourth Hokage you chose?"

"Haha! Hiruzen you're really calculating!"

"Unfortunately, you obviously underestimated Orochimaru's intelligence! He saw through you so easily!"

"Isn't this one of the real reasons why he turned against you?"

"Otherwise, if we had simply refused you from investing in the research institute, it wouldn't have gotten to this point."

Now, Utane Koharu regrets being too tightly tied to the third generation!

Now there is no chance to get off the boat.

The Uchiha side will definitely not give her this opportunity.

It is almost impossible for him to gain more benefits for his family from the Uchiha.

"Well... maybe not..."

Thinking of this, Utane Koharu's eyes suddenly flickered, and she thought to herself, "Looking at the postures of the Uchiha and Senju Uzumaki, they will definitely drive Sarutobi out of power and change the dynasty in the future;"

"If I can side with them at the critical moment, provide them with help and even evidence of their crimes, and nail Sarutobi to the ground, can I switch sides and become one of theirs?"

"No, no! We can't wait until then. Perhaps, I should secretly find an opportunity to talk to Uchiha Nobuhiko or Uchiha Tianyi!"

"Yeah! Mito-sama is actually fine too!"

Utatane Koharu already felt that the Third Generation's ship was not far from sinking and was destined to have no future.
