The house itself isn't worth much, especially in the Naruto world with extraordinary power. It's quite easy for ninjas to quickly build a batch of habitable houses. But is Konoha selling houses that are worthless? Uchiha Nan is selling the future of Konoha!

It seems that Nara Shikayuan's perspective hasn't expanded yet. Uchiha Nan sighed slightly.

"Luyuan, you should know how profitable the shops in Konoha Commercial Center are now."

"If Konoha raises a banner to build the most profitable and safest commercial center in the ninja world on this wasteland, with residential communities, hospitals, and entertainment centers around it, wouldn't you choose to buy a house or a shop here?"

Nara Shikayuan nodded without hesitation. He understood the business blueprint drawn by Uchiha Nan. Konoha aims to become the ninja world's factory, using technological advantages and cheap labor to seize global wealth. Every penny earned belongs to Konoha, with no taxes to pay!

The daimyo doesn't have the guts to demand taxes from Konoha. Opening a store in Konoha's commercial center means setting up shop in the ninja world's most prosperous area. If you can't make money, you deserve to be poor for life.

The same applies to buying a residential house. With complete supporting facilities and prime location, just wait for appreciation after buying it.

"That's it."

"As long as Konoha can present a plan or even a sign in the wasteland, wealthy merchants and nobles will line up to pay us."

"We can collect money first and do things later!"

Uchiha Nan's words suddenly enlightened Nara Shikayuan. Isn't this just making money out of nothing?

"This doesn't seem right."

Nara Shikayuan hesitated. He used to be a ninja who honestly did tasks and earned commissions. Konoha's current floating population made the construction of a new urban area urgent. Originally, this expenditure was Konoha's alone. Nara Shikayuan felt uneasy using others' money for personal projects.

"What's wrong with that!"

"The Fire Country's nobles want to buy a house and settle in Konoha to escape their past and become Konoha's loyal subjects. I'm giving them a chance!"

Nara Shikayuan fell silent. The Hokage's words were rough but true. He now saw Uchiha Nan's ambition.

The Hokage felt a little cold and wanted to change his clothes.

"Hokage, you have a good idea!"

Nara Shikayuan chose to raise his hands and feet in agreement. Uchiha Nan's decision wasn't something he could persuade against.

"In that case, let's get ready!"

Building a new urban area comparable to Konoha's current one involves many interest exchanges, so careful planning and preparation are necessary.

Uchiha Nan waved his hand, asking Nara Shikayuan to make a plan.

Nara Shikayuan nodded, feeling a bit bitter. He would work hard again these days. Since following the Hokage, he had been exposed to more business, staying up all night to make plans, and losing hair due to stress.

But it's truly profitable. Uchiha Nan isn't stingy with his subordinates. Nara Shikayuan has now earned enough for three lifetimes of retirement. This is the pain of making too much money.

This project is worth billions or even tens of billions. Konoha's new city area isn't a simple project using a few earth techniques to build houses. Power facilities, underground waterway design, and Konoha's defense barrier are all challenging problems.

After more than ten days of hard work, Nara Shikayuan led his team to draft a plan, covering everything from site selection and construction to the defense barrier's details in the new city area.

After reviewing it, Uchiha Nan found no issues and nodded in agreement.

With everything ready, all that remained was waiting for investors to pay.

Konoha's propaganda machine started again. In just a few days, people lined up at Konoha's sales office.

The noble insects naturally had no shortage of money to buy a house, so they sent representatives to pay. It was more a gesture of goodwill.

Konoha Dad, please accept my loyalty!

The nobles bought prime locations in generous quantities, making Uchiha Nan feel the prices were too low. Their spending alone solved most construction funds.

However, they bought prime locations, and the remaining ordinary areas were reserved for civilians at relatively low prices.

Even if they couldn't afford it, Uchiha Nan thoughtfully offered loans. With the meager wages from sweatshops, they could pay off loans in 20 years.

Konoha makes money and spends it, ensuring they take it home as soon as they leave.

This is Konoha's blessing!

At least after working a lifetime in Konoha, you can live stably for 20 years, own a house, and possibly start a family to repeat the blessings.

"It's great."

"Everyone's face is full of smiles. This is what Hokage calls blessings."

Uzumaki Aoi followed Uchiha Nan around Konoha Village, from sweatshops to the new city construction site.

Although everyone was busy and raced against time to eat, the light in their eyes was dazzling.

Uzumaki Reed had fought all his life and was an old-school ninja from the Warring States Period. He wanted to elevate the Uzumaki clan and make it stronger.

So Uzumaki Reed asked Uchiha Nan about Konoha's prosperity secret. His younger brother Uzumaki Reed asked humbly, and Uchiha Nan didn't hesitate to teach him, explaining with great interest.

He was confused by Uchiha Nan's strange words, like capital, productivity, and other terms that bewildered him.

After days of exploration, Uzumaki Reed seemed to understand something.

Uchiha Nan provided stable jobs, enough food, and even their own houses.

Not cheap wooden houses, but cement houses. To attract ordinary buyers, Uchiha Nan built a model house, discarding easily infested wooden houses. The house was painted white, with complete power facilities and electric lights in every room.

The design was exquisite and beautiful. Though space was smaller, with one bedroom and bathroom accommodating one person, and the price was higher, requiring nearly a lifetime of labor to pay, it wasn't bad.

For the laborers of this era, it's incredible.

War, noble exploitation, natural disasters, and all sorts of hardships made the ninja world's laborers numb, especially after the first ninja war. Refugees were everywhere, and wealth rapidly concentrated at the top. They were conditioned to survive on crumbs, calling nobles "clear soup masters."

Uchiha Nan targeted nobles, seizing wealth accumulated over decades and centuries, building infrastructure, opening factories, providing jobs, and feeding them. Who dared speak ill of Uchiha Nan?

Even Konoha's lower-level ninjas began to idle, leaving good tasks to work with civilians. This was a great thing.

In the past, ninjas were off-duty killing machines, performing tasks for commissions. Now they started participating in production and construction.

This was thanks to Uchiha Nan's deliberate guidance. Ninja production was always advocated by Uchiha Nan, who was willing to spend on it.

Especially in education, thanks to the nobles' wealth feeding Konoha, Uchiha Nan had the funds and ability for large-scale education reforms.

Now the ninja school recruited many students, but this time Uchiha Nan implemented a ninja education diversion system. Combat-talented ninjas received traditional education. Those with poor talents could only grow to Genin, performing one or two fire or earth techniques, before going to construction sites. Even Genin had much stronger physical fitness than ordinary people.

Chakra is the difference between ordinary people and ninjas. Genin mastering chakra could move nimbly, while ordinary people couldn't.

Even moving bricks, Genin could carry more than ordinary people. This was the difference.

However, not many ordinary people had chakra talent. Other ninja villages would conscript them for battle. How could they afford to let them work on construction sites?

Achieving all this required substantial financial resources, something Uchiha Nan had. If money ran short, he would just target wealthy nobles.

There were plenty of fat pigs in the Land of Fire. Even if many were slaughtered at once, they could be fattened again over time.

"Hokage-sama, can the Uzumaki clan achieve all this?"

Uzumaki Reed's eyes sparkled. The Uzumaki clan wanted to progress with Konoha.

Hmm. Progress?

Of course not!

Wouldn't it be better for the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha directly? Why improve themselves?

Of course, Uchiha Nan wouldn't say this aloud.

"Of course you can!"

"Konoha's advanced experience can't be explained briefly, so for the Uzumaki clan's long-term development, Konoha prepared an exchange student program."

"For the Uzumaki clan, we'll teach them everything and give them the village's prosperity secrets. They can't misuse it."

Uchiha Nan skillfully painted a grand picture for Uzumaki Reed, who wanted to pack all the young Uzumaki to study in Konoha.

"It's time to eat."

A loudspeaker interrupted Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Reed's conversation. It was lunchtime.

Uchiha Nan planned to take Uzumaki Reed to Konoha's hotel for a meal, but Uzumaki Reed insisted on eating a boxed lunch at the construction site to experience the people's lives.

Uh. It's not even a boxed lunch.

The construction site contractor brought today's lunch.

They were black protein blocks, a product developed by Senju Tobirama. Bugs have lots of protein. Protein blocks in Snowpiercer were made from cockroaches. Bugs bred by Senju Tobirama and the Aburame clan had more protein than cockroaches.

Making protein blocks cost Senju Tobirama some time.

Recently, the Aburame clan bred bugs using bark, weeds, swill, and even garbage. These bugs weren't picky, grew large, and reproduced quickly.

The protein block factory began production, and these workers were the first tasters.

"How does it taste?"

Uchiha Nan knew the raw materials. Due to psychological reasons, he hadn't tasted it, but Uzumaki Reed took a bite.

"It tastes a bit sticky, but quite watery, with no special taste."

Hearing this, Uchiha Nan tried a bite. The taste matched Uzumaki Reed's description. As long as the raw material wasn't juicy bugs, it was good food.

Ordinary people could eat two or three blocks. With a little pickle, it was a decent lunch. After all, it was better than nothing.

"That's Hokage-sama?"

Uchiha Nan wasn't wearing his Hokage robe, just casual clothes. There wasn't even an Uchiha emblem on his back. He didn't expect to be recognized.

One stone stirred a thousand waves, and workers eating protein blocks looked at Uchiha Nan.

Most workers at the Konoha construction site were refugees seeking a living. They worked in sweatshops. Now, construction wages were higher than factory pay, so men worked on construction sites.

Women, being weaker, worked in factories. At night, they returned to sweatshops for night shifts, working until midnight before sleeping.

Electric lights were a blessing.

Uchiha Nan walked towards the workers, raising his hands to signal, and cheers erupted.

"How are you all doing in Konoha?"

"Are you full?"

"Has everyone bought houses in Konoha's new town?"

Uchiha Nan turned into a considerate leader, asking about the workers' basic needs. The leader smiled naively, then answered loudly.

"Hokage-sama, we have enough to eat in Konoha, and we get paid working in the factory."

"I even bought a house in Konoha, with a 20-year loan. Now I'm building my own house. My son attends a school run by the Hokage."

The man's eyes turned red. Now he had hope. As long as he worked hard, he'd live well!

"Long live Hokage-sama!"

"Long live."

The man's cheers triggered the crowd. Uchiha Nan stood in the crowd, bathed in the midday sun, looking radiant.

Uzumaki Reed was so excited he couldn't speak. Is this the Hokage of Konoha?

It's so inspiring!
