Chapter 1818 The Big Leader
They don't pay extra attention to what happens at the factory because they don't have that much energy.
"Okay, you can continue with your work. I'll go call Hiruzen."
"Okay, Brother Qufeng."
Then, Toruka hung up the phone and dialed Hiruzen's number instead.
"Hey, Feng, what's up?"
"Brother Hiruzen, can you gather another batch of people for your construction team? Most of them need to be Earth Release ninjas."
Hiruzen quickly replied, "Sure, so it's time to start laying the rails?"
He knew everything about construction in the village very quickly, so it wasn't surprising that he could take the wind.
"Yes, first gather a group of Earth Release ninjas, then contact Kato Tsuneo and Minato to discuss a plan. It would be best to start construction within a month, after all, this is not a small project."
Hiruzen immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go find them now. We'll talk again later."
……
Ueno wandered around the core area of Konoha Village for a long time, asking around before finally finding the fastest road leading to the back mountain.
However, since this was a well-known issue, and he was a stranger to the village, plus the factory on the back mountain of Konoha Village was the lifeblood of the village.
The villagers didn't tell anyone easily, fearing it might be some kind of spy; some even went directly to the police station to report it.
Ueno, this man, not only failed to find his way, but almost got arrested first.
Fortunately, he eventually proved that he had just been brought to Konoha Village by Lord Tokiwa and was assigned a job in the back mountain, much to the envy of the police officers.
Now that his identity had been confirmed, the police officers naturally pointed him in the right direction.
In truth, this was all Yahiko's fault. He forgot to take the couple to get their ID cards and also forgot to point out a path to the back mountain for Ueno.
Isn't this just making them waste more time?
Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the result was good in the end. The ID card was processed directly at the police station, and he would bring his wife to process it again when he returned home that evening.
Following the directions given by the police officers, Ueno arrived at the back mountain of Konoha Village.
At the entrance to the back mountain, a group of ninjas guarded the area, preventing villagers from going up the mountain at will.
Even before the factory was built, you couldn't just go to the back mountain.
Only a few mischievous little ninjas would sneak up there.
"Stop, what do you do?"
Seeing that Ueno was a stranger and acting suspiciously, the ninja stopped him at the entrance.
"My two ninja lords, I am Ueno, whom Lord Torifu just brought back from the Land of Water. Lord Torifu has instructed me to start working at the factory in the back mountain tomorrow."
"I just arrived in Konoha Village and I don't know the way yet, so I'm just walking around to avoid being late tomorrow."
Ueno spoke sincerely and his attitude was very gentle. The two ninjas saw that he was indeed an ordinary person and thought that they would not dare to casually take advantage of Lord Feng's reputation, so they let him go up.
The main issue is that there are people walking around and patrolling the factory in the back mountain at all times.
If this guy really lied, he'll definitely be silenced.
The ninja let him pass, so Ueno had nothing to say and followed the mountain path directly to the back mountain of Konoha Village.
He had been malnourished for several months and hadn't eaten much today, so he was a little out of breath after climbing the mountain and sat down to rest at the top.
From afar, you could hear things being processed and produced inside the factory, making a rumbling sound.
"The Konoha Village factory—all the top-tier electrical appliances in the entire ninja world are produced here!"
Electrical appliances are no longer a rarity in the ninja world; other countries can also replicate things like refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines.
However, the quality is hard to assess. But it's still good enough for the low-end market. If the quality is just average, the price will have to be lower, otherwise no one will buy it.
For example, the Ueno family originally had some wealth in the Water Country on the island, and they had purchased appliances and other items.
As a result, they wandered around for a long time and lost all their possessions. The electrical appliances were also ruined after being soaked in the sea.
After arriving in the Land of New Water, he was penniless.
If it weren't for the new houses and basic subsidies allocated by the government, I might have starved to death long ago.
His family is a typical example of being terribly harmed by the country, but what can they do?
As an ordinary person, he had no control over the overall situation and could only go with the flow, so he had no feelings for the Land of Water at all.
Without hesitation, he followed Lord Qufeng here.
After resting for half a day, Ueno finally regained some strength and got up to continue walking towards the factory.
They happened to run into Kato Hisashi, who was on his way down the mountain to discuss matters with Minato and Hiruzen.
Kato Hisashi was also taken aback when he saw the unfamiliar man, but he quickly realized that this must be the person arranged by Lord Torifu.
"Excuse me, are you the person that Lord Qufeng assigned to work in the back mountain?"
Ueno nodded repeatedly: "It's me, it's me! May I ask who you are, sir?"
Kato Hisashi didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where are you from? How did you get to Konoha Village?"
Ueno answered truthfully: "My name is Ueno Kamimura. I am from the capital of the Land of Water. This afternoon, Lord Tofu brought my family to Konoha Village."
Kato Tsune was certain of Ueno's identity, lest he mistakenly believe that someone from another village had been sent by Tofu-san.
"Ueno, I understand. My name is Kato Hisashi. I am the manager of the Konoha Village factory and I am in charge of all factory affairs."
"Brother Qufeng has already told me about your situation. You've just arrived in Konoha Village, so I'll give you a day to rest and prepare. Report to the factory behind Konoha Village on time the day after tomorrow."
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.
