Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 146: The Third Battlefield Begins! The Border Situation Deteriorates!

"Shimura Danzo, it's perfectly reasonable for him to do anything unbelievable."

That guy, his future achievements will be far more glorious than his present ones!

Starting from the clinic.

Yuuki wasn't in a hurry; he just kept taking walks.

The streets near the Uchiha clan's territory are becoming increasingly bustling, with many vendors moving from other streets to do business nearby.

Even when faced with exorbitant rents, they did not back down.

In other neighborhoods, the probability of violations and breaches of responsibility is too high!

Uchiha police officers are impervious to reason once they are inspected!

Enforcing fines means that vendors who make a move will be caught and taken to the police department for a chat.

Who can stand this?

It's not that the Uchiha clan discriminated against anyone.

They only inspected the area outside the Uchiha clan's territory, not the area inside.

Instead, it's the Uchiha Commercial Street, which, after Yuuki's reconstruction, fully meets all the standards.

The standards were set based on these houses and stalls, so of course they comply with the rules!

There was absolutely no concept of overall planning for other areas of the village.

The Hokage, who is extremely busy, has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

As long as a passable street is cleared, the roadside can be built however you like.

Previously, Yuuki had no say in the matter.

Now?

The rules of the Uchiha clan, the rules of the police department, are the rules!

"Shouyi, the village is much more prosperous now." You Shu greeted him with a smile as he strolled along.

"Yes, brother, it's really strange. The war has been going on for two years, but the village hasn't fallen apart. In fact, it's been rebuilt even better." Shouyi scratched the back of his head in confusion: "Could it be that the Ninja World War is the best way to develop the village?"

"How could that be?" Yuuki chuckled and patted Shouyi on the back. "Don't underestimate yourself. This is a feat accomplished by our Uchiha clan. By cracking down on unscrupulous merchants and using the confiscated money for the development of the village and the clan, we have promoted prosperity!"

In reality, the war did play a role, indirectly contributing to the prosperity of Konoha Village.

When carrying out war missions on the front lines, ninjas receive military funds allocated by the daimyo, and many missions also award bonuses. With nowhere to spend their money, most ninjas choose to send it home.

The intense fighting meant that the compensation for the ninjas who died in battle was fully paid to their families, which greatly boosted consumption.

In response to the war, the capital city invested a large amount of resources, which poured into Konoha, driving the development of various industries.

As the risks of commerce increase, so do the prices of goods bought and sold.

Merchants hired ninjas to protect caravans, hired workers to speed up production, and purchased raw materials to promote domestic circulation at higher prices.

After completing the tour, Konoha Village's economy naturally developed.

"Businessmen are really strange. They've been fined so much, yet they don't learn their lesson or run away."

Yuuki: "Not running away means they're still making money."

"If they won't do it, there are plenty of businessmen who will. Konoha is so big, it doesn't need a few more merchants."

The development of Konoha was quite peculiar; ninjas focused on missions and accumulating wealth.

In other words, as long as merchants paid enough 'protection money,' they could complete the vast majority of transactions under the protection of ninjas.

It seems like a lot of money was spent, but in reality, a large amount of money was saved on bribes to various places.

Profits were uncertain, but they actually increased.

Yuuki stood at the entrance of the Hokage Building and instructed Shouichi, "So, don't be soft on those unscrupulous merchants."

Shouyi stood at attention and said loudly, "Understood!"

Yuuki walked unhurriedly into the entrance of the Hokage Building, maintaining a smile and greeting the ninjas passing by.

We moved to a more spacious meeting room, and the seating arrangement was rearranged considerably.

Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat, with Homura Mitokado and Torifu Akimichi on his left and right sides, respectively.

At the row of tables in front of Akimichi Torifu, Tsunade sat at the head of the table. After leaving one seat empty, the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans sat in a row next to each other.

Then there was Kurama and several clan leaders of smaller ninja clans who were close to the Senju.

The Jonin class leader in charge of leading the meeting became Sarutobi Miki.

The previous squad leader, Sarutobi, died in battle while supporting Shimura Danzo...

At the table in front of Mitokado Homura, Koharu Utatane sat at the head of the table, followed closely by Mitokado, Sarutobi, Shimura, and other clan heads.

Then there are the Aburame and the Inuzuka family.

The Aburame clan chief's expression remained unchanged, but the Inuzuka clan chief's face was always written with resentment and displeasure.

Two tables away from the Hokage are the seats for the heads of the Hyuga clan and other smaller clans.

"Sorry, I was a little too punctual." Yuuki greeted the Kurama clan chief and sat down in the reserved seat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked unwell, waved his hand to indicate that he was alright and signaled to Miki Sarutobi to send out the latest information.

"Lord Danzo, defeated again?"

"Sunagakure can't hold back any longer! The Third Kazekage has joined the battle! Orochimaru requests reinforcements!"

"The Hidden Mist Village, using the former islands of the Land of Whirlpools as its base, dispatched troops to sabotage the eastern coastline?"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. The actions of Sunagakure and Kirigakure meant that the scale of the Ninja World War had escalated once again!

"The Third Kazekage has joined the battle? Hokage, we must provide support to Orochimaru as soon as possible!"

After working himself to the bone for three months straight and carrying out countless missions, Jiraiya had dark circles under his eyes and looked completely drained of energy.

But upon hearing about the changes in Sunagakure, he hurriedly applied for assistance for his best friend.

"We really need to curb the arrogance of Sunagakure!"

"Orochimaru is a junior after all, so he needs to be taken care of more."

"Yes, young people should be allowed to make mistakes!"

The clan leaders and Jonin present all echoed this sentiment.

Danzo Shimura was defeated, and the exact losses are unknown, but the Grass Defense Line had the most ninjas.

At least you don't need to worry about safety, right?

Once Wuyin reached the shore, like a bird without wings, the threat level dropped slightly.

To the east are allies of the Uzumaki clan, with a considerable number of members stationed in the Land of Whirlpools.

There will be no worries about the future.

The only one we need to worry about is Orochimaru.

Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who knew the inside story, were not blindly confident.

Regarding fog concealment.

The Uzumaki clan harbors deep hatred for Konoha, but let's set that aside for now.

When Uzumaki Village was besieged, almost two generations of Uzumaki ninja were wiped out.

It's only been a little over a year, where would we find ninjas to reinforce our defenses?

The Senju family, which had declined several times, was tempered by the battles of the Land of Rain and the defense of the Land of Whirlpools.

There are about three hundred ninjas left in total.

The Senju ninjas who were transferred there were only a little over a hundred; they couldn't hold the line, nor did they bother to defend it.

Regarding the hidden aspects of rock caves.

Danzo Shimura suffered two major defeats!

I don't know, I was surprised!

Over the course of two years, the number of ninjas lost, added up intermittently, reached an astonishing five thousand!

How many Konoha ninjas are there in the entire Grassland defense line?

Barely eight thousand!

Even though more than a thousand ninjas were sent as reinforcements later.

This means we've lost more than half of our assets!

When Hiruzen Sarutobi calculated this number, he was also shocked!

If this gets out, the village will probably be thrown into chaos instantly!

Orochimaru defended the Sand Village, commanding three thousand ninjas. The losses were manageable, and the defense was effective.

On the contrary, it's the battlefield with the best conditions!
