Chapter 244: Konoha's 46th Year and Uchiha Itachi

The Uchiha clan members came here purely to report to Youya, and by the way, hinted that the Hokage would go to the Uchiha clan's land to have a banquet and give gifts.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether gifts are given or not, the Uchiha clan is not short of money.

The main thing is that there is a problem within the Uchiha clan now.

What problem?

It is of course a commonplace.

The old forces represented by the old Uchiha clan.

The new generation represented by Uchiha Fugaku.

There is no doubt that for the new generation, conflict with the old generation of Uchiha clan members is something they don't want to see.

But there is no way.

The old generation of clan elders firmly control the Uchiha clan's security department, and at the same time do not allow the Uchiha clan ninjas to leave the clan without permission.

Oh, we do all the work of the security department, and you old guys are behind the scenes every day, giving orders and making troubles.

You said everything, and we did everything. Is there such a way to do things? !

After the death of the oldest elder in the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku no longer hid it and made it clear that the Uchiha security department must be expanded in the future.

It is impossible for the Uchiha clan ninjas to complete the work of the security department alone.

The old generation of Uchiha clan elders were naturally furious about this decision.

But for the new generation of Uchiha clan members, it was an extremely good thing.

The old generation of Uchiha clan elders talked about the glory of Uchiha every day, the former glory of Uchiha, and that the security department should be controlled by the Uchiha clan.

But for the new generation of Uchiha clan members, especially the new generation of Uchiha ninjas who were born after Yuya came to power and are in their twenties this year.

The glory of Uchiha in your mouth is the era when the entire Uchiha clan had problems getting enough food?

Is it the era when they dared not say anything because they were suppressed by Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama?

The Third Hokage has a good temper and doesn't bother with you, but you are just showing off? !

When Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were in office, you didn't dare to say a word, and now you are talking nonsense to us?

After all, these people's parents are just old, not dead.

These Uchiha clan elders always say that the Security Department belongs to the Uchiha clan and outsiders cannot interfere.

The result is that their own children are busy until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening and go home, and have to go out at six or seven in the morning the next day.

People are all made of flesh and blood. If you don't love your own sons and daughters, who else can you expect to love them?

What's more, if hard work is rewarded, it's fine, but the problem is that there is no reward!

You old guys have occupied so many positions. How much of the money you get every year have you distributed to us?

You eat all the big heads into your stomachs, and make yourself fat, and you don't even look at people from other branches.

Even so, you still ask us to contribute and work hard every day.

Bah! I quit!

... Does it sound familiar?

Yes, the Uchiha clan now has a similar corporate culture.

The people at the top are fed by Youya, and the people at the bottom are exploited so much that it is a luxury to have two more days of rest.

Under such a premise, it is fine that these new generations cannot see hope.

Now Uchiha Fugaku has waited for the opportunity to rise up and prepare to compete with these Uchiha clan elders.

Then if they don’t support him, will they continue to be cattle and horses? !

Of course, Youya doesn’t know about these.

He really doesn’t know what Uchiha Fugaku has been doing for more than a month. He doesn’t care about it at all.

However, he does know that Uchiha Fugaku is ready to seize the opportunity to gather power first because the oldest clan elder of the Uchiha clan has passed away.

But the specific content...

Youya doesn’t worry much.

After all, the matter of Konoha University involves too much of his energy, and his energy is limited.

Therefore, Youya feels puzzled about the various looks cast on him by this Uchiha clan member.

After receiving the visiting card, Youya nodded.

Seeing that the other party had not left for a long time, Youya looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

The Uchiha ninja hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Again, because Youya's ability is so strong, most people in Konoha Village respect Youya very much.

This is not differentiated by different families.

In other words, even the patriarchs of many Konoha Village ninja families such as Sarutobi Hiruzen admire Youya.

Of course, admiration is one thing, and when it comes to fighting for the interests of the family, they don't mind slamming the table with Youya.

But privately, they have no opinion on Youya.

For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Public is public and private is private, he clearly distinguishes. If the review department finds any good things - referring to the content of the midnight channel program that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Akimichi Tofu secretly made - they will also send it to Youya for appreciation... uh, cough, it is to discuss and review it.

After all, whether it can pass the review or not is still a matter of Youya's words.

Therefore, in private, Yuya actually has a good relationship with the heads of these families.

But it does not prevent everyone from slamming the table together during the end-of-year review.

Of course, the head of the Shimura family is an exception.

Shimura Danzo is a typical character who is both inexperienced and playful.

Yuya has brought Konoha to the current state, but Shimura Danzo still has not come to admit his mistakes to Yuya.

Yuya's demands are not high, so come over and say sorry to me. If you drink three drinks as a penalty, I can forgive you and then take the ninjas of the Shimura clan as my own and let them work for me.

Since you have always refused to give in, I can only exclude the Shimura clan.

Of course, just because Danzo Shimura refuses to give up does not mean that the Shimura clan will follow suit.

Just like the Uchiha clan, internal divisions are an old tradition.

In short, for many people in Konoha Village, Yuya deserves their sincere respect.

Therefore, the Uchiha ninja in front of him finally gave up on letting Yuya get involved in the Uchiha clan's affairs now.

There's no need for that.

Chief Fugaku must be loyal to the Sandaime. When Chief Fugaku's child is born next year and the Sandaime comes to the Uchiha clan to congratulate him, all the rumors will be self-defeating.

Youya nodded and didn't take it to heart.

Until Jiraiya suddenly found Yuya and handed in his resignation.

"Are you leaving the village again? Tsk tsk, forget it. Remember to write the novel carefully. Send it to me as soon as you finish it. I, um, I will help you correct a thing or two."

Yuya teased with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya nodded seriously: "No problem, don't worry, brother, I will send it to you first."

Yuya was stunned and looked at Jiraiya suspiciously: "Why are you...different today?"

Jiraiya didn't jump, and said calmly: "Whatever is different, it should be the same."

You Ya thought for a while but didn't care: "It must be an illusion. Okay, let's go. Your royalties should be paid every three months. If you have any questions, let's put them here..."

Yuya was about to say a few words, but he saw Jiraiya picking up the village leaving agreement approved by Yuya at lightning speed and flying away.

Youya had a question mark on his face.

What on earth is this guy doing here today?

Shaking his head, Yuya looked at Nara Shikaya aside, thought for a moment, and asked Nara Shikaya: "In the past few days...has Jiraiya caused trouble again in the village?"

Nara Lu also thought about it and shook his head: "I have not received relevant reports, at least, the people below did not report it to me."

"That's strange. This guy is definitely acting like this today."

Youya crossed his arms and was about to take advantage of this opportunity to fish when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in." Nara Shikaya is now very accustomed to serving as a gatekeeper.

"Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Nagato from the Land of Uzumaki wants to see you, do you want him to come in?" The short-haired girl holding a folder walked in and looked at Yuya with bright eyes.

——Wuhu, I know that even if I work as a receptionist in the Hokage's office building, I can still have the opportunity to talk to the Hokage!

Youya nodded casually: "Okay, let him come in."

"Understood, make arrangements immediately!" The short-haired receptionist gave Youya a serious salute and then walked out holding the folder.

——Wow! I talked to Hokage-sama today! My classmates will definitely envy me!

Not long after, Nagato arrived at the Hokage's office.

After seeing Yuya, he asked straight to the point: "Hokage-sama, where is Mr. Jiraiya?"

Yuya was stunned for a moment, and then replied to Nagato: "He just left today and left the village. What happened?"

A bad premonition surged in Youya's heart, could it be...

Nagato became a little anxious: "Huh?! Mr. Jiraiya left the village? What should I do?! Today a girl told me that she was Mr. Jiraiya and her teacher had agreed to prove that she wanted to be my daughter. friend……

Hokage-sama, you are Jiraiya-sensei’s eldest brother. He often talks about you to me, otherwise...

Can you help me...? "

Youya took a deep breath, then roared with a distorted face:

"Jiraiya!!!"

…

Nagato and Nadeshiko Shizuka were finally called together by Yuya. Yuya Akizhi said emotionally and rationally that the world is so big, there is no need to be bound by that agreement, and he vowed to restrain himself and live for himself.

Nadeshiko Shizuka said: I have been observing Nagato for a long time, I quite like him, I have no objection.

Nagato felt goosebumps all over his body. He really didn't expect such a beautiful girl to follow him!

You Ya helplessly held his forehead, and finally decided to put a broken jar in front of him, saying, why don't you two spend some time together to see?

Nagato sternly refused, but Nadeshiko Shizuka agreed.

You Ya finally came up with a compromise plan: "Living together is not possible, but you can study together.

You originally came to Konoha Village to study. "

When Youya said this, he felt a little unsure.

Nagato should be here to study, but this Nadeshiko Shizuka...

hold head high……

Forget it, it's better not to worry about it, because it will make you more and more annoyed.

…

Eventually, Nadeshiko Shizuka joined a study group consisting of Nagato, Yahiko and Kazuya.

After that, the first goal of this study group is naturally to obtain the qualifications to enter Konoha University in the first formal college entrance examination for all villages and all people of the same age group held in Konoha 46 years.

The first period of Konoha University's exams this year has ended.

If you want to continue trying to see if you can get into college, then try again next month.

Next month is the end of the year, so you can try some winter tricks at the end of the year.

Anyway, 37 people passed in the first round. Is it possible that there will be more in the second round?

Yes, only 37 people were admitted to Konoha University in the first phase.

Only 37 people out of more than 4 million people were admitted.

Youya's original plan was to admit 400 people.

result……

It can only be said that when the difficulty increases to a certain level, it won’t happen.

However, these 37 people also became slightly famous because of this.

The university life they later revealed is also exciting.

In particular, they benefited a lot from the fact that all the teachers in the university taught were practical information.

The learning atmosphere driven by them became even stronger.

This year, Yahiko, Nagato and others are not eligible to take the exam because they are from other villages.

But it will be available next year.

The range given by Youya is very loose. If you are more shameless and just use the human wave tactic to send 10,000 to 20,000 students over, you should still be able to get one or two.

But Youya is definitely happy to accept this.

How could he pick and choose when Konoha was so short of people?

It's okay if you come as a human being, but it will be uncomfortable to see if I let you be a cow or a horse.

…

The regular meeting of the Konoha ninja family at the end of Konoha 45.

This year's regular meeting is still a mess.

Nara Shikaya looked at the various ninja clan leaders below expressionlessly as they slapped the table and yelled, wanting to compete for more benefits for his family and tilt resources for next year.

Nara Shika also felt tired inside.

Youya, this guy, has completely let himself go since he was asked to take over his duties once.

Today Youya would rather go fishing with a fishing basket on his back than come here for a meeting.

But there is one thing to say...

if it is possible……

I also want to go fishing...

"...I have something to ask." An elder of the Shimura clan stood up with an ugly face. He tremblingly asked Nara Shikaya:

"Please tell Secretary Nara this.

Does the Sandaime have any prejudice against our Shimura clan?

Our year-end accounting this year has been declining for three consecutive years, with only 1.9 billion taels this year..."

After the clan elder of the Shimura clan finished speaking, the other ninja clan clan leaders who were spitting like crazy stopped and looked at Nara Shikaya.

Nara Shikaya's expression remained unchanged: "What's the reason? Don't you, the Shimura clan, know it best?

With the development of the times, the prices of raw materials for the glass factories, accessories factories, and furniture factories of the Shimura clan have increased slightly. However, villages in other countries also have the ability to manufacture such accessories. If the prices are not reduced, your products will be No one wants it anymore.

The price of raw materials has increased, but the selling price has to decrease. To be honest, with an income of 1.9 billion taels, I feel that the third generation is taking care of you. "

The elder of the Shimura clan fell silent.

He couldn't speak because Shimura Danzo proved his failure to Senju Tobirama and finally had to withdraw from the position of Hokage. As compensation, Yuya allowed him to choose which factories he wanted. These factories were extremely profitable at the time.

But now...

The elder of the Shimura clan sat down helplessly.

After all, you still have to face yourself, and you can’t say anything too shameless.

Nara Shikaya looked relaxed. Although he didn’t want to come, if he could host it...

Still no problem.

In the end, Konoha's accounting at the end of 45 years ended like this.

And the Shimura clan...

Some people may care but...

What's the use?

…

The following year, Konoha's 46th year.

Yuya stood at the entrance of the Uchiha clan's clan territory, looking at the banner that read (Congratulations to Mr. Fugaku Uchiha on his birthday), and he took a deep breath.

after all……

He was finally going to meet Uchiha Itachi!

If that's the case, then...

Let's go!
