Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

Uzumaki Reed interrupted Mito Uzumaki with great momentum and stood in front of Uchiha Nan, the benefactor of the entire Uzumaki clan.

"Mito, you are too much. You are being disrespectful to the Hokage!"

Uzumaki Reed stood by Uchiha Nan with righteousness and said earnestly.

"Brother Reed, you..."

Uzumaki Mito was at a loss. Uzumaki Reed didn't stand by her side but supported Uchiha Nan.

Why?

This is her own family!

"Uchiha Nan, what did you do?"

Uzumaki Mito gritted her teeth, looking at Uchiha Nan with indignation. She couldn't understand how Uzumaki Reed and Uchiha Nan were so aligned in just one day.

Uchiha Nan watched with interest. He didn't expect Uzumaki Reed to react so strongly.

This is the charm of money.

"What could I do to the Uzumaki clan?"

"The Uzumaki clan is Konoha's beloved relatives, brothers, and sisters!"

"I just added a little bit of money, not much, only 5 billion taels."

Five billion taels is truly significant. Now, even if the Senju clan pooled all their assets, they couldn't raise that amount unless they were desperate enough to sell all their land and property.

No wonder.

Uzumaki Mito was speechless. No matter how much she argued with Uzumaki Reed, he wouldn't stand by her side.

A married daughter is like spilled water. Strictly speaking, Uzumaki Mito is already part of the Senju clan, and now she's separate from the Uzumaki clan.

Uchiha Nan assisted the Uzumaki clan with real money, essentially buying their loyalty. This money is enough for the entire Uzumaki clan to support Uchiha Nan.

Moreover, Uchiha Nan is the Hokage, and with righteousness in his heart, Uzumaki Reed knew where his loyalty should lie if he had any sense.

Uchiha Nan gave too much.

"Mito, you need to be sensible."

"The Hokage treats the Uzumaki clan sincerely, and we Uzumaki are honest people. We can't repay kindness with enmity."

"You don't respect Uchiha Nan. You don't regard him as the Hokage. You don't even call him Hokage!"

Uzumaki Reed took on the role of an elder brother and lectured Uzumaki Mito earnestly.

Uzumaki Mito is the bond between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha. If she doesn't respect the Hokage, how can the Uzumaki clan follow the Hokage's lead in the long run?

This money is not wasted!

Uchiha Nan looked at Uzumaki Mito, who was scolded by Uzumaki Reed, and struggled to maintain his expression. Though he tried to keep a straight face, the smile at the corner of his mouth was evident.

After Uzumaki Reed finished lecturing Uzumaki Mito, he continued discussing Uzumaki Yotsuki with Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan had no interest in the young girl. She was too young and undeveloped for his taste. He preferred someone older, like a certain age.

It would be better for Uzumaki Yotsuki to stay with Uzumaki Mito. Having a master of sealing techniques train her would greatly benefit her future growth.

The matter of Uzumaki Yotsuki concluded. Uzumaki Reed stayed in Konoha for a while, planning to study there.

Konoha developed so well, and Uzumaki Reed wanted to learn from Konoha's advanced experience to uplift the Uzumaki clan. Clinging to Konoha wasn't a long-term solution.

However, Uzumaki Reed's wish would likely fail. Two significant factors contributed to Konoha's rapid development:

One was exploiting Senju Tobirama's labor to develop high-tech and open sweatshops. The second was taking advantage of the Fire Country nobles, now seen as fat pigs by Uchiha Nan.

The Uzumaki clan lacked black slaves like Senju Tobirama and didn't have nobles exploiting ninjas. The name of the Whirlpool Country was him!

Uzumaki Reed held three positions: the name of the Whirlpool Country, the Whirlpool Shadow of Whirlpool Village, and the head of the Uzumaki clan.

There was nothing to exploit!

**One Night a Few Days Later, at the Hokage's House**

Uchiha Nan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Human desires are so ridiculous. Mistakes and misdirection occur, but sincere repentance and hard work can restore inner peace and freedom. Now is the time for reflection.

"Master, haven't you rested yet?"

Feng and Ling approached, their eyes filled with expectation. Unfortunately, the reflective time ended, and desire overcame reason again.

After several cycles, Uchiha Nan finally regained his usual calmness. This was Uchiha Nan's old habit.

After eliminating desires, Uchiha Nan focused on the major events concerning Konoha!

Konoha was thriving, with various factories and workshops opening around the village.

Cheap industrial products were continuously sold to the Fire Country.

Under Uchiha Nan's deliberate policies, merchants from the entire Fire Country flocked to Konoha.

Konoha had money and a market, with ample spending power. Everyone knew they could make money in Konoha, and opening a store in the Konoha Commercial Center was lucrative. Housing prices in Konoha began to rise rapidly, especially in the center!

Prices even surpassed those in the Fire Nation's capital!

Konoha now needed a department to manage its population flow, as too many people were heading there.

Konoha's propaganda campaign played a significant role. A big movie showcased Konoha's benevolence to the ninja world.

Visitors found Konoha to be a treasure trove.

Buying a house in Konoha not only meant owning a profitable shop but also the most valuable attribute in the Naruto world: safety!

Living in Konoha, buying a house, obtaining a resident ID card, and enjoying life without fear of wandering ninjas.

No wandering ninja dared to wreak havoc in Konoha.

Even the wandering ninjas, samurai, and bandits within a hundred miles of Konoha were eliminated by ninjas sent by Uchiha Nan.

Konoha aimed for big business. Ensuring the safety of merchants was crucial for successful commerce.

Uchiha Nan made a statement to the ninja world: any ninja attacking Konoha-bound merchants was against Konoha.

Though ninja attacks couldn't be completely prevented, it provided great security for caravans traveling to Konoha. Uchiha Nan wasn't just speaking; he had truly eliminated many threats.

Not only merchants, but ordinary people and Fire Country nobles also wanted to buy houses in Konoha. After being humbled by Uchiha Nan, the nobles remembered they were just ordinary people with wealth.

In the face of ninjas' power, they were merely fat pigs awaiting slaughter. Uchiha Nan needed them for now, allowing them to fatten themselves in the Fire Country. When Uchiha Nan needed money, they would be the first to fall.

The noble insects were shameless, knowing how to sustain their families for generations.

If they couldn't beat Konoha, why not join?

The smart insects divided their families overnight. Some continued serving the Fire Country, while others moved to Konoha, buying houses and doing business!

Doing business in Konoha was profitable!

Lord Hokage, we've been Konoha people for a long time!

You can't attack your own people; we contribute significantly to Konoha's GDP!

Houses. Houses. It's hard to find a good location in Konoha now!

Originally, Konoha's houses weren't worth much, especially civilian wooden houses. They weren't as expensive as air conditioners Uchiha Nan sold to nobles, but many wanted to buy them.

Those who sold their houses two months ago regretted it. Housing prices soared beyond their expectations.

When those who regretted selling wanted to buy another house, they couldn't afford it.

They had to rent in Konoha, with rising rent prices.

Don't want to rent?

Plenty of people do!

The plight of these unlucky ones was evident to those who hadn't sold their houses. They knew prices were rising and guarded their deeds carefully.

Spend a lot to buy your own house?

Sorry, I won't sell, no matter how much you offer!

But money's power exceeds ordinary people's imagination. Some couldn't resist selling, becoming new unlucky ones.

Too few houses, too many people.

Uchiha Nan sighed. He had to worry about overpopulation, something Senju Tobirama never imagined!

Population represents the ninja village's fundamental potential.

Refugees, merchants, ordinary people, nobles—all flocked to Konoha, waving money to buy houses and live there.

Konoha's main city couldn't accommodate more people. It was too crowded.

But Uchiha Nan didn't want to push them out. Except for refugees in sweatshops, the others were the richest in the ninja world.

Konoha's population policy was simple: buy a house, live in Konoha for three years, and get a resident ID card.

Recognizing Konoha's housing value, they rushed to buy houses. This wasn't speculation; they genuinely wanted to live in Konoha.

Uchiha Nan couldn't punish them for this. They contributed and wanted to be part of Konoha.

Now, Konoha needed to expand. This was inevitable. Konoha wasn't short of land, surrounded by forests and wastelands.

This solved Konoha's housing shortage.

Uchiha Nan thought about planning Konoha's new urban area: commercial, residential, school, hospital.

A new urban area needed complete facilities. Building from scratch would be astronomical. Uchiha Nan didn't want to spend that money.

Such expenditure would hinder Konoha's development.

Then Uchiha Nan thought of off-plan housing. Though the area around Konoha was wasteland, with a plan and news release,

Konoha would build a new city with facilities, the best hospital, school, and the safest area in the ninja world.

Even putting a sign on wasteland could sell it as a house.

Uchiha Nan knew real estate's profitability. If this plan succeeded, Konoha's financial report next year would be exceptional.

Money, houses—no world can do without these.

When a young Konoha man marries, his mother-in-law's first question would be if he bought a house in Konoha.

With this thought, Uchiha Nan fell asleep.

**The Next Day**

Uchiha Nan went fishing as usual. At work, several nobles sent gifts, wanting Uchiha Nan to help them buy houses in Konoha for their sons.

As Hokage, Uchiha Nan could easily handle this but refused. He wouldn't allow such corruption.

How could he take bribes? Hokage's power was public, and he wouldn't tarnish his reputation for a mere gift of one million taels!

Of course, he wouldn't return gifts. If Uchiha Nan had no connection, it wouldn't be considered corruption.

**Office**

"Luyuan, Konoha's housing prices have risen significantly."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"There are too many people in Konoha now. They all want houses, but prices won't stop rising."

Nara Shikato noted recent price spikes. Originally, wooden houses weren't worth much, but outsiders drove prices up.

"Are you interested in doing big business?"

A smile appeared on Uchiha Kusu's face, and Nara Shikato understood.

"Hokage-sama, do you mean selling houses?"

"But all houses in Konoha have owners. Where can we find houses to sell?"

"We can't sell all family houses, right?"

Nara Shikato shook his head, thinking Hokage-sama was being impractical. There were countless houses in Konoha.

If you want to make money selling houses, you need houses to sell first.

Uchiha Nan found a map and drew a circle.

"Just sell houses here!"

"Hokage-sama, this is a wasteland."

"I know, but there will be houses here in the future!"
