Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

20 advance ahead chapter.....🥷🥷

Uchiha Nan climbed out of bed, feeling the strain in his back, and walked to the window to open the curtains. Sunlight streamed in, casting a golden glow on the room, highlighting the snow-white sheets in a beautiful light.

Stand up!

However, seeing his reflection in the mirror, Uchiha Nan resisted the urge to admire himself.

His hair was messy, his eyes had deep grooves and dark circles, and his beard had grown considerably overnight.

Alcohol and indulgence had taken their toll, leaving him looking haggard!

I will quit indulgence from today!

Uchiha Nan resolved secretly. The allure of pleasure was too addictive, and he couldn't afford to harm his health.

"Master, are you awake?"

Feng rubbed her eyes, seemingly awakened by Uchiha Nan's movements. Seeing his naked body, she instinctively covered her eyes. Realizing she was also uncovered, she quickly grabbed the sheet to cover herself, her cheeks turning red.

So cute.

Uchiha Nan looked at Feng's flustered expression and sighed inwardly.

"Master, I'll prepare breakfast right away."

Feng tried to wake Ling to help Uchiha Nan dress and wash.

"Forget it, don't bother with that. I'll get breakfast myself. You two can continue sleeping."

Uchiha Nan waved her off, deciding he didn't need the full experience of being dressed and washed by others. There was no need to make the sisters work so hard.

Without giving Feng a chance to protest, he grabbed his clothes, left the room, washed up, shaved, and headed to a breakfast shop for a meal.

After breakfast, Uchiha Nan went to the meeting room.

He arrived an hour before the meeting, expecting few people to be there.

To his surprise, the room was already full. Almost all the senior members of Konoha's various families were present.

But it made sense. Paydays were always met with enthusiasm, unlike payroll days.

With this thought, Uchiha Nan made his way through the crowd to his seat.

As he entered, the room fell silent, and everyone returned to their seats.

Uchiha Nan sat in the central chair and surveyed the room. Noticing that Uzumaki Mito was absent, he casually asked Senju Momoyama.

"Why isn't Mito here today?"

Senju Momoyama clenched his fists upon hearing this, suspecting that Uchiha Nan had brought it up intentionally.

His mother had been left with a swollen face by Uchiha Nan's actions. If not for the Uzumaki clan's strong vitality and healing, she might have been permanently scarred.

For women, appearance is paramount. Uzumaki Mito valued the bigger picture, otherwise, she might have clashed with Uchiha Nan.

"Mother isn't feeling well, so she didn't come today."

Senju Momoyama replied expressionlessly, choosing not to engage in a confrontation with Uchiha Nan.

"Oh! It seems her injuries from last time haven't healed yet."

"You!!!"

Momoyama was infuriated, now certain that Uchiha Nan was provoking him on purpose.

I won't get angry, I won't get angry.

Momoyama decided to hold back. There was nothing to gain from confronting Uchiha Nan now. Perhaps Uchiha Nan was hoping for a reaction.

With funds being distributed, he couldn't afford to be distracted!

Momoyama turned away, pretending not to hear Uchiha Nan.

"The Hokage is here, and most of us are present, so let's begin the meeting."

Hinata Takuma stood up, eager to ease tensions between Konoha's two major families.

"Then let's start the meeting!" Uchiha Nan nodded, commencing the day's funding distribution meeting.

"The Land of Fire has allocated funds to Konoha."

Uchiha Nan paused deliberately, and the family heads eagerly awaited the announcement of the funding amount.

"30 billion!"

The budget figure shattered the meeting room's silence, sparking intense discussion.

Is 30 billion a lot?

For a single family, it's astronomical, but for all of Konoha, it's not much.

After repaying the 10 billion owed to each family, less than 20 billion remained.

And that's just for Konoha's ninja clans. There are also numerous civilian ninjas, with many genin, adding to expenses.

There are also various facilities, with significant spending required.

"Today, we'll discuss this budget."

Uchiha Nan, newly appointed, couldn't unilaterally decide on fund allocation.

All the ninjas in the village were eyeing this money like hungry wolves.

As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, everyone began voicing their opinions, no longer whispering.

The ninja clans prioritized settling previous debts before discussing how to utilize the remaining funds.

A comprehensive budget list was compiled, encompassing Konoha's daily operational expenses.

The Ninja School needed continued student recruitment, which required funds.

There were also expenses for ninja tools, military pills, and explosive tags.

Konoha's hospital needed expansion, and medical ninjas required training, a substantial expense.

Defense against Hidden Mist and Hidden Rock Villages also required considerable funds. Maintaining a standing army cost 500 million taels per month; if skirmishes escalated into war, costs would triple or quadruple.

Even with a peace agreement with Hidden Cloud Village, preparation against potential threats was necessary.

The recorder continued calculating future budget expenditures.

Uchiha Nan saw the discussion winding down and inquired about Konoha's future budget needs.

"Reporting to Lord Hokage, if there's no large-scale war, more than 50 billion will be needed to meet these budgets."

"Hiss."

As expected!

Uchiha Nan rubbed his head; budgets are never sufficient.

Every ninja village has shortcomings, whether in ninja school training funds, medical care, or defense.

The attendees outlined everything Konoha needed as a ninja village, and the allocated funds were clearly inadequate.

"What if war breaks out?"

Hinata Takuma asked. The recorder smiled wryly. In wartime, budgets are never sufficient.

War is a money pit; there's never enough funding.

"The situation isn't optimistic!"

"Comrades."

Uchiha Nan addressed the group seriously, acknowledging the persistent financial shortfall.

"Konoha is our common home. We must work together, embodying the spirit of the Will of Fire."

Uchiha Nan delivered a lengthy speech to convey the meeting's spirit.

Since Konoha lacked sufficient development funds, someone had to cover the shortfall. Who better than the wealthy ninja families?

Rely on civilian ninjas?

How much could they contribute?

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse!

Konoha's debts to the ninjas were internal matters, internal debts!

Internal debts aren't real debts!

The ninjas would endure hardship, and he would shoulder the blame!
