"Yes."
The assistant told him frankly.
The daimyo felt somewhat frustrated, as there was a hierarchy among the daimyo.
The Land of Fields—what a desolate and impoverished place it used to be!
In the eyes of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields was at most a nouveau riche.
Two years ago, when the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields was pushing this restaurant project, he was ridiculed by the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
As a result, within two years, Chinese cuisine spread throughout the land of rice paddies, and other restaurants went out of business.
The catering industry has achieved standardization, and all the caravans that have visited the area have praised it.
The Land of Fields has seen its economy develop dramatically thanks to its food and beverage industry, a fact that even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire finds unbelievable.
It wasn't until he saw his assistant's statistical report that he was convinced it was all true.
The daimyo of the Land of Fields made a fortune from this, the national economy grew significantly, and the ninja village rose to become the leading village outside of the five great ninja villages.
Naturally, business teams in the Land of Fire attempted to emulate this.
However, the franchise fee is several times higher than that of Takanori, and the number of slots is limited.
From the perspective of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Land of Fields' actions were retaliation.
There's no way around it; large countries bully small countries all the time, so they naturally want to vent their anger when they get the chance.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire initially tried to imitate it, but the seemingly simple stinky tofu turned out neither smelly nor fragrant.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire was extremely envious.
The Land of Fields has seen a significant economic boost thanks to this; if it were promoted in the Land of Fire, wouldn't it be incredibly profitable?
However, the people sent by the Sound Village were as stubborn as rocks in a latrine.
No matter how much they were threatened or bribed, they refused to reveal the secret recipe. Some even committed suicide by poisoning themselves after being arrested.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire was quite helpless.
What he didn't know was that all the people sent by the Sound Village were Orochimaru's subordinates.
They are either die-hard Orochimaru followers who have been brainwashed, or people who have been placed under a restriction and will not betray information.
Moreover, without the core secret formula, it is absolutely impossible to replicate successfully.
Daming rubbed his aching forehead and gave up.
“Allocate a sum of money to cooperate with Danzo, and make sure he gets all the formulas.”
"As ordered!"
...
(The exciting plot is about to reach its climax; please provide some data.)
Chapter 61 Kawasaki's Scheme! The Rise of the Uchiha! Summoning Jutsu!
Inside the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.
"Sarutobi".
The Third Hokage, who was engrossed in writing, looked up and saw Danzo walk in.
"What are you here for?"
The Third Hokage spoke calmly, though Danzo had previously been ambitious and somewhat difficult to control.
The fact that he was dismissed from his post by three generations was a major blow to him.
The Third Hokage cut off funding to Root and restricted other ninja clans from cooperating with them, so Root is probably in dire straits now.
However, Danzo has worked with him for many years, so he will definitely need him in the future.
As long as Danzo remains under his control, the past doesn't matter.
Whenever Danzo is needed, he can be brought back to power at any time.
"This is the Uchiha's profit estimate."
Danzo took out a stack of data sheets.
The Hokage glanced at it: "So much? Twenty million a month?"
Danzo's tone remained unchanged: "This is just Konoha's data. If we include Ueda, it exceeds fifty million per month."
"Itachi and Shisui brought 'Chinese cuisine' to the land of rice paddies. Although the land of rice paddies is poor, this restaurant is found all over the country."
"No one knows exactly how wealthy the Uchiha clan is."
Danzo paused briefly: "The daimyo of Mida made a lot of money because of this, and he made me make sure I got all the formulas."
"So, Hiruzen, I need your help now."
Danzo, with a hint of smugness on his face, took out a letter of instruction.
The Third Hokage frowned, picked up the command letter, and saw that it was genuine.
hiss...!
The Third Hokage took a deep drag of the smoke from his pipe.
Unexpectedly, Danzo turned his attention to the daimyo.
This is a tricky situation. As the village chief, there are many places where money needs to be spent.
The reason Konoha became the strongest ninja in the world was because it had ample funds and abundant resources, which could be infinitely converted into war resources.
Whether it's population, food, or other factors, Konoha has gained an advantage in numerous Shinobi World Wars.
The Cloud Ninja of the Land of Lightning, a military superpower, has been fighting intermittently with Konoha for over a decade.
Despite not having the military advantage, Konoha managed to force Kumogakure into peace talks, relying on its abundant financial resources.
The benefits to Konoha itself are one aspect, but more importantly, there are the various subsidies issued by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
The Land of Fire is vast, populous, and rich in resources, and in order to maintain its leading position in the ninja world...
The relationship between the Daimyo and Konoha Village is extremely good.
After all, only when Konoha defeats other countries can the Daimyo (feudal lord) feel at ease making money.
Now, Daming has its sights set on 'Chinese cuisine'.
Furthermore, was the Daimyo bypassing him and directly issuing orders to Danzo because of the Uchiha's departure?
It seems that my failure to report it has caused Daming to harbor resentment.
Although Konoha Village, as a military group, should not have to care about the daimyo's opinion.
However, ninjas were few in number, did not engage in production, and were unable to directly govern the country.
Since the daimyo became the patron, the third generation generally gave him a lot of face.
Inside the Hokage Building.
The third generation was flipping through piles of documents and files on the table; he had already looked up everything he could.
From customer traffic to average spending, a series of long-term statistics show...
Danzo's longing for the Uchiha clan's shop wasn't something that happened overnight.
Danzo's preparations were so thorough and detailed that they surprised even the Third Hokage.
The Uchiha clan's income is surprisingly high.
Based on these figures, although Konoha's financial resources are dozens of times greater than those of the Uchiha clan, that money is not controlled by the Third Hokage alone.
Village construction, ninja salaries, secret technique research and development, ANBU maintenance... every expense comes from here.
The Uchiha clan was different; ninety percent of the clan's earnings went to the clan head, Fugaku, who could spend them however he pleased.
If things continue to develop this way, will the Uchiha clan eventually turn the tables and become the dominant force?
Each ninja clan focuses on practical interests, and if their economic strength is sufficient...
It's not impossible that they would support Fugaku Uchiha as Hokage.
The Third Generation Leader hadn't expected the situation to be so dire, and a sudden sense of urgency welled up within him.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, he found Danzo standing in front of him.
The third generation leader secretly rejoiced.
Well, let's leave professional matters to the professionals.
After all, Danzo was quite familiar with this.
The third-generation master tapped his pipe lightly on the table: "What do you plan to do?"
Danzo replied, "We've tried to imitate it, but it always just doesn't taste quite right."
"There are indeed some secret recipes that we don't know, so the taste is never as good as theirs."
