Yuya finally met with Hinata's clan elders. The elders in Hinata didn't look pleased, and they were obviously dissatisfied with Yuya targeting them. A previous trip to the Uchiha family had made the Uchiha clan the laughingstock of the elders. Did this brat want Hinata to become the laughingstock of Konoha Village as well?
Yuya's first words, delivered with a smile, put Hinata's clan elders to shame: "Elders, don't look so grim; I'm here to help Hinata!"
"Why would we need your help? Hinata doesn't need it! Go away! Get out of here!" Even though they thought this, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. After all, Yuya had been placed in this position by Senju Tobirama. They couldn't dare to drive Yuya away outright.
Hinata's former clan leader, Hinata Hiyo, said calmly to Yuya: "Agent, please don't joke. It's hard for you to come all this way. If you have nothing to discuss, please return. Hinata hasn't arranged food for you."
Yuya smiled, showing no sign that he was being chased away: "Old patriarch, you jest. Although you are older and have retreated to the sidelines, many matters in Hinata still need to go through you. While I've traveled a long way, seeing you is not hard or troublesome~"
Hinata and Hinata Hiyo's faces turned green. What a little beast! Who is he blaming?!
"Moreover," Yuya continued with a smile, "I came here to help the Hyuga family. The Hyuga family has been facing some financial difficulties recently, right?"
Hinata Hinata immediately denied it: "How could that be? The Hyuga clan is a prominent clan in Konoha. If there were issues with Hinata, it would imply problems for the village!"
Yuya ignored the sarcasm in the elder's words and stated his purpose directly: "It's not the same at all. The inner city is developing very well, with the land usage optimized to the point that every inch is accounted for. In contrast, Hinata's clan land... such a large area remains so empty... it makes my heart ache."
Hinata Hiyo nearly cursed. This clearly illustrated Yuya's intentions, right? He was clearly eyeing the land of the Hyuga clan!
Hyuga Hinata retorted: "Since the establishment of the village in Konoha, the Hyuga clan has experienced two Hokages and has contributed immensely to the village's development. Konoha should not treat the Hyuga clan this way."
Seeing the elder's pitiful act, Yuya didn't respond but smiled and agreed with Hinata Hinata: "You are correct, the Hyuga clan has made significant contributions to Konoha's development, and thus Konoha should reciprocate with many benefits for the Hyuga clan."
Hinata and Hinata Hiyo were speechless. How could they all end up in this situation?
There was no way out; Yuya was as shameless as a city wall, refusing to answer the question. So, Hinata Hiyo had to ask: "What exactly does the agent want to do with Hinata's clan land, and what benefits can the Hyuga clan expect from this?"
Determined, he thought he would resolutely reject whatever proposal Yuya might suggest.
Yuya smiled: "I plan to use one-third of the Hyuga clan's land to build a daycare center with an amusement park, specifically designed for children."
"No! My Hyuga clan… eh? Daycare? What is this?" Hyuga Hiyo waved his hand, initially refusing.
But then he realized—this concept of a daycare... he had never heard of it before.
Yuya explained that it was a place specially prepared for children between one and six years old. Their parents need to work during the day, and Konoha's current population consists mostly of middle-aged individuals with fewer teenagers. Last year there was a wave of pregnancies, and this year, it's foreseeable that there will be another wave of baby boom.
Almost every household in Konoha has someone working in a factory, and many of them have two working parents. After a child is born, if there is no daycare, one of the parents must stay home to care for the child. However, with a daycare center, parents can leave their children there during work hours and pick them up after work. This way, both parents can work, right?
Moreover, Yuya pointed out that as this group in Konoha gradually ages in twenty years, the demand for daycare will not diminish but stabilize due to a new wave of baby boomers.
Furthermore, in Yuya's initial design sketch, although the daycare would require a large area, it wouldn't need one-third of the Hyuga clan's land. More importantly, the construction of the amusement park was crucial.
Yuya had long observed that as the people in Konoha had more disposable income and fewer entertainment options, some of their high energy post-work turned into drinking and aimless wandering. Many resorted to gambling, appearing like losers.
The key is, many people fall into this category. Some are hopeless gambling addicts, while others genuinely need some form of entertainment to break the monotony of factory work.
Currently, because the time has been short, there are no significant issues. In other words, the rapid economic growth has masked any problems that might arise.
Yuya could not accept such a future, so he intended to find a way for these individuals to release their pent-up energy.
He knew that the world of Naruto could indeed create electricity and networks, but he didn't know how. Moreover, the Naruto movie versions included filmmaking tools, indicating potential for cultural and entertainment industries.
It was unfortunate that Yuya didn't know how to utilize electricity or the internet. But that was irrelevant; entertainment facilities had existed in history long before the internet.
Let's build an amusement park first to see how it performs. If it doesn't succeed, we can demolish it and build a primary school instead.
Yuya's series of words left Hinata and Hinata Hiyo a bit confused. They had never seen such a posture before!
At this moment, Gululu started to make noises, suggesting that the daycare tied to the amusement park had become Konoha's hope for the future.
However...
"Since the agent is so optimistic about this organization, I would like to ask, how much benefit can you guarantee this organization will bring to the Hyuga clan?" Hyuga Hiyo sneered internally.
He had never heard of this daycare concept, and Yuya expected to use one-third of the Hyuga clan's land simply by saying such things? Did he think Hinata was an idiot?!
Yuya replied with a smile: "There are 187,926 households in the inner city of Konoha, with a total population of over 610,000. All ninja families account for about one-fifth of this population. However, according to the household registration ratio, one ninja family can only be counted as one household.
Of course, we won't concern ourselves with this, and these ninja families are not the targets of the daycare, as their children will naturally be taken care of at home.
Our target... is naturally the ordinary people, those Konoha villagers who are busy working and have no time to care for their children."
Hinata and Hinata Hiyo were speechless. Why did it come back to them?
Yuya continued: "Based on a monthly income of one thousand taels per person, if every household with children in Konoha places their children in a nursery, each household would contribute around 12,000 taels per year. The income of the daycare center could potentially reach nearly two billion taels."
Hinata Hiyo was stunned for a moment, then his breathing became heavier. Even the other elders of the Hyuga clan behind him gasped at the figure. Two billion! They had never discussed such a number in their lives, nor had they ever seen such wealth divided by ten!
Yuya continued with a smile: "Of course, the real situation is more complex. Although Konoha's population base is large and the elderly population is small, there are still some. The elderly are ideal candidates to help care for children without requiring additional payment, so we must consider that.
Additionally, there are parents who do not work for various reasons and stay at home. I know several people who can only do handicrafts or small businesses from home due to injuries. There are quite a few of these individuals.
Excluding cases where parents simply do not wish to place their child in a daycare center... I estimate that the revenue for the first year after it officially opens will be around 400 to 500 million taels."
Hinata Hiyo's hand, which was holding his beard, nearly broke. This number excited him immensely.
Yuya made the final point: "Of course, I won't force the Hyuga clan. If the Hyuga clan doesn't want to be involved, I can go to Shimura and Sarutobi.
However, because the Hyuga clan has always been a backbone of Konoha, with the talent of the humerus and the backbone of the village... the first clan I thought of was you."
Yuya looked at Hinata Hiyo with a smile: "So... old patriarch, what do you think?"
Hinata and Hinata Hiyo were silent. After a long pause, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the expression on his face resembled a blooming old chrysanthemum: "Agent, you are truly skilled at judging people~ Who else would I rather be in this matter?! It has to be my Hyuga clan!"
