Generally speaking, as a resident of Konoha, even if you are coerced and lured by Yuya into attacking other businessmen, you would still be entangled like this big businessman.

But one type of businessman doesn't feel that way.

Spies sent by other countries.

They work for foreign nations and have no psychological barriers about killing Konoha businessmen.

Therefore, Yuya felt no compunction in capturing these individuals.

And if it comes to claiming they were caught by mistake, that doesn't matter. After all, these businessmen are a group of people who don't care about dying. They were merely caught by mistake, not killed mistakenly. What is there to fear?

As for whether there will be any wrongful accusations...

The secret skills of the Yamanaka clan are more than enough to make these individuals reveal their true identities.

It will soon be clear whether they are spies or not.

The Yamanaka clan may not be as powerful as the Uchiha, but their population is larger than that of the Uchiha clan. (After all, during the Warring States period, the most casualties were among these two families, but they were still the two strongest families of that time. At least no one would starve to death.)

This family's secret technique is fascinating; it allows them to spy on secrets. Although it can be resisted by ninjas of similar strength, this technique is still very useful for support.

Moreover, it is especially effective when the target is a businessman.

Afterward, regardless of the process, the number of merchants had indeed been reduced by half.

Several of them were confirmed to be traitors from Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure.

Well, there was also Iwagakure.

The supplies had yet to arrive, but the spies were already here. Your food and supplies haven't been touched yet, so the spies arrived first, right?

Kill him, kill him. Kill them all.

There is nothing to discuss here. Any businessman who is a spy will definitely be executed, and other villages won't raise a fuss.

After all, this is an unspoken rule that everyone abides by.

If you object to killing spies, then I will send hundreds of spies to you tomorrow. Since you can't kill anyone, what are you afraid of?

When Konoha's spies were exposed and killed in other villages, Konoha wouldn't say anything. At most, they would take care of the families of those spies and claim it had nothing to do with them. The information they provided was all voluntarily given; they wouldn't admit to anything.

What Yuya didn't realize was that, although his actions seemed somewhat cruel, he didn't kill anyone with his own hands. Therefore, in later historical accounts, it would be recorded that Yuya Eli drove these businessmen to attack each other. While the spies were exposed, many merchants from Konoha Village would be blamed for their deaths, and Senju Tobirama would be held responsible.

That's right; our Third Hokage is a sunny, cheerful, and kind-hearted young man, so he wouldn't resort to such vicious tricks! They were all taught by the Second Hokage! 555 feels sorry for the Third Hokage, who is not kind to others.

As for the other businessmen actually killing each other, it led to the number of places on the list being reduced to less than half...

Yuya himself had a clear conscience, and history books would only record that these businessmen were solely interested in profit, caring about small gains while forgetting about righteousness.

As for the families, wives, children, etc., of these deceased individuals, it had nothing to do with Yuya.

After all, as long as one has hands and feet and is willing to work, they will surely not starve to death.

Of course, whether the savings bank can ultimately be opened depends on whether the businessman who proposed the plan can secure the land for the Sarutobi clan.

What? You said it was the Sarutobi clan because the other families were rejected?

Just wait and see if the final result ends up that way.

Humph, I was such a genius for finishing this in just two days.

Wait, did I forget something?

Yuya slapped his head hard and hurried to Konoha Ninja School.

After school, Yuya repeatedly apologized to the three little ones.

He explained that he had indeed been delayed by something over the past few days.

However, Tsunade still wore a dark expression; even a delicious barbecue burrito wouldn't lighten her mood.

When they finally parted ways, Yuya didn't dare to make any more promises. He simply stated that if he had time after school, he would definitely come over early and take them out for barbecue.

However, Yuya received two suspicious looks and one indifferent look in return.

Sighing, Yuya could only express how difficult it was for him.

The following day, a ninja from the Nara clan requested to see him. These ninja families finally couldn't help but test Yuya.

But this was normal. No one is willing to meet a leader they don't understand at all.

Forget it in the past; during that time, everyone thought Yuya was just a middleman conveying Senju Tobirama's orders.

As a result, two years later, he was actually about to become a full-time leader?

This...

Because Senju Tobirama's prestige in Konoha is very high now, no one will openly criticize Yuya directly.

But there are definitely doubts.

So there will undoubtedly be tests.

As for Yuya, it will take a long time to prove himself.

And it just so happens that Yuya is still quite young, so people can gradually get to know him.

The test that the Nara clan decided to administer was very simple. They approached Yuya with a bunch of official tasks and stated that all these tasks needed to be completed within a week.

Yuya genuinely wanted to show the Nara clan what it meant to take six and a half days to show off and then finish all tasks in half a day.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. If he finished earlier, he could focus on his own tasks sooner.

He hadn't had time to practice his ninjutsu recently.

Hmm... Uncle Master seems to have no time to develop new jutsu after becoming Hokage.

If Uncle Master devoted all his energy to studying ninjutsu, he might double the effectiveness of the techniques associated with the title of Doctor of Ninjutsu.

As Yuya pondered this, he looked through the so-called "need to review" content handed to him by the Nara clan.

The salary adjustment for civil servants... This is a simple algorithm. Benchmark the food prices in Konoha Village to see if there have been any fluctuations. If so, add more; if not, then reduce it slightly.

The factory's leave system and workers' malicious leave requests are straightforward. First, adjust the leave. If the number of rest days is used up, then workers can request one day off at a time, but one day's salary will be deducted. However, this system must align with the fixed eight days of rest time per month. Additionally, deductions for leave cannot be counted within these eight days.

The employees in the steel plant are not very motivated. Some can produce ten kilograms more in a day, while others produce ten kilograms less. Some people are blatantly lazy. How should we address this issue?

Simple: those who work diligently and produce a lot of iron will receive a weekly bonus when their wages are paid. If substantial laziness is confirmed and caught on the spot, a deduction will occur, but don't deduct too much. The first offense will incur a deduction of 100 taels, the second will be 200 taels, and the third will be 400 taels. With both rewards and punishments in place, no one will gossip. Rewards without punishments will cause problems, and punishments without rewards will dampen enthusiasm.

Yuya clicked his tongue and shook his head, reflecting on those days—well, it wasn't that long ago; it was only two and a half years ago, or one Kun year ago. Most people in Konoha Village just wandered aimlessly in the fields when they had nothing to do, idling all day long without any work. They were simply struggling to get by.

Two and a half years later, aside from the sick and disabled, basically everyone in Konoha Village who could work was working.

Even children as young as seven or eight wanted to work to reduce the burden on their families.

Yuya felt helpless, knowing that special measures should be taken. Right now, Konoha Village was indeed extremely short-staffed, so he could only declare that factories, textile factories, and other places requiring skills and involving danger could not recruit these children. If these children wanted to work, they could only take jobs as newsboys, waiters in restaurants, or run errands for others.

Although Yuya had a somewhat black-hearted approach to capitalism, it had indeed improved the lives of many people.

At least the villagers in Konoha, who had never eaten meat before and wouldn't dare think about it, could now choose to eat canned beef or pork, or visit the store in Kirigakure to buy fish and take it home to make soup.

However, once people's lives improved, they inevitably became complacent.

Now that some were slacking off and not working diligently, Yuya had long anticipated this situation.

All he could say was that he had seen and heard of too many cases like this.
