Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 7: Shingetsu's Money-Making Plan, and the Excited Uchiha!

However, just as the detonation tag was about to slip, Shen Yue suddenly caught it again and smiled at them with ease.

"Don't panic, everyone, I was just kidding!"

"This thing, you can joke about it?" Fugaku and the others were speechless.

Shen Yue's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Do you know how much this explosive tag costs?"

"Three hundred taels!"

Qingshui and Tieshu, who were behind them, raised their hands to speak at the same time.

"Congratulations, you've all managed to answer first!" Shen Yue nodded in satisfaction. Good subordinates should always be ready to play the straight man.

"May I ask Clan Chief Fugaku, if a major war were to break out now, would our clan's funds be sufficient to purchase 500,000 explosive tags in one go?"

Upon hearing Shingetsu's answer, Fugaku was instantly speechless.

"Fifty explosive tags, that's 150 million taels!" He calculated carefully, then shook his head helplessly.

"Kamizuki, this shouldn't be a problem. Our Uchiha clan is born with the Sharingan, so we don't need so many explosive tags!" Uchiha Inahisa said.

"Then why were you dodging just now?" Shen Yue gave him a disgruntled look.

He then brandished the explosive tag in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"A mere explosive tag reflects the decline of our Uchiha clan!"

"Besides the declining population, the other major problem facing our Uchiha clan right now is money. We absolutely must make money!"

"As expected, this is the Kamui I know!" Upon hearing Kamui's words, Fugaku felt a sense of relief, and even felt a little fortunate and grateful.

Then I wondered if I was sick.

He was grateful that Shenyue had spared him for the time being.

"Kamizuki, our Uchiha clan talks about money all the time, which damages the reputation of the strongest clan!" Even an elder like the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan suddenly spoke up.

"Grandpas of the Eighth Generation, everything you eat, wear, and use every day—doesn't it all cost money?"

"No matter how powerful the Uchiha name is, it can't be bought for free!" Shingetsu retorted directly.

"Right now, we have the title of the strongest clan, but we're just sitting around doing nothing. If a real conflict breaks out, we won't even be able to deploy explosive tags on a large scale, let alone purchase ninja tools on a large scale."

"Even if we launch a coup as you suggest, Konoha will easily crush us!"

"If our clan has ample funds, we can purchase more ninja tools, train our disciples, enhance our strength, and even allow one member to marry multiple wives, each bearing five children!"

"At that time, with a large and prosperous population, and many children bringing great fortune, our clan will have no choice but to become stronger!" Shen Yue spoke faster and faster.

"That's right, Captain is right!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu, who were standing nearby, listened with shining eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Even Uchiha Inaho, who had just been spouting outrageous remarks, almost slapped himself.

Have five!

He loves to hear that!

Who would want a coup if they could marry more wives and have more children?

"As expected, everything is suppressed!" Shen Yue sighed inwardly as she saw Dao Huo's actions.

The Uchiha clan is born lacking in love.

"This kid has such a discerning eye?!" Shisui and Itachi looked at Shingetsu with great curiosity.

Although they had seen Shingetsu before, they had not learned much about him.

Only today did they realize that Shenyue was different from the other members of their tribe.

This theory is quite novel, but upon closer examination, it makes a lot of sense.

"So you mean, our Uchiha clan should start making money right now?" Uchiha Inahi, Uchiha Hachidai, and other hardliners blinked, trying to understand what Shingetsu meant.

"Not bad!" Shen Yue nodded.

"But right now, the Third Shinobi World War has just ended, and all the countries have formed alliances to recuperate. If we want to rob them, the village won't agree!" Uchiha Inahisa asked.

"Who said we were going to rob other countries?" Shen Yue glanced at Dao Huo with annoyance.

"So you mean Konoha?"

"That won't do!" Fugaku quickly shook his head.

If the Uchiha clan really turns on each other, they will be besieged soon, suffer even more terrible deaths, and their reputation will definitely be ruined.

Itachi and Shisui also shook their heads secretly, their eyes filled with disappointment as they looked at Shingetsu.

Just moments ago, they still had faith in Shingetsu, believing that he might actually have a good way to change the fate of the Uchiha clan.

But now, they are disappointed.

This Shingetsu is, after all, just a child.

"Hmph, two blockheads, and you're disappointed in me?" Seeing Shisui and Itachi's reactions, Shen Yue was too lazy to even bother with these two idiots.

"I'm telling you, clan leader, can't you think outside the box? We can totally use the Konoha police force under our clan's control to make money legitimately and legally!"

"For example, Konoha has many wealthy merchants, families, shops, medicine stores, auction houses, casinos, and taverns!"

"We can target them by implementing fixed-point security for merchants, increasing nighttime patrols, and escorting important goods."

"My shop earns fifty thousand taels a month!"

"Large shops and auction houses receive 500,000 taels per month, which is paid by low-ranking and mid-ranking ninjas from within the clan on a rotating basis. This is counted as police duty income and goes into the police department's slush fund, ostensibly called 'maintaining public order expenses'."

"In this way, we can obtain a large sum of money completely legally and openly, and even control the economic lifeline of Konoha!" he said confidently.

"But if we really do that, won't the Konoha higher-ups, like Shimura Danzo who has always been eyeing our clan, take the opportunity to launch an attack?" Fugaku was still somewhat worried.

"Hmph, the Konoha higher-ups will only think that our clan has finally seen the light and is less dangerous!"

"They're overjoyed!" Shen Yue scoffed.

"This plan might actually work. In that case, we can temporarily shift the conflict between the clan and the village!" Itachi and Shisui's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Shen Yue's words were like parting the fog, pointing them to a new path.

"This seems like it might actually work!"

"Our clan, though known as the strongest, is now facing difficulties too!"

"That's right. The village has just gone through the Third Shinobi World War, prices have skyrocketed, and the funds allocated by the Daimyo each year are insufficient, so what we receive is even less!"

"I haven't eaten at a restaurant in two years!"

"Me too! I haven't bought a ninja sword in ages, my shuriken is cracked, and I'm running out of explosive tags!"

"My clothes are three years old, and they already have several holes!"

"If we really do as Shen Yue says, it might actually work!"

Many Uchiha members immediately became excited.

Ultimately, who doesn't love money?

Only Fugaku is still hesitating.

After all, in his understanding...

The Uchiha, the strongest clan in Konoha.

The idea of ​​personally getting involved to make money was still a bit hard for him to accept.

"If the clan leader doesn't approve, then please, clan leader, marry Tsunade!" Shingetsu didn't bother with any more words to Fugaku and directly pulled out his ultimate trump card.

"I agree!" Fugaku quickly agreed upon hearing this.

He figured it out.

Shen Yue's proposal has already tempted many people.

If he doesn't agree.

I reckon these guys would actually dare to make trouble and force him to marry Tsunade.

"As expected, to open the window, you have to lift the roof first!" Shen Yue's lips curled up slightly, quite pleased with himself.

The proposal to marry Tsunade was just a pretext.

His real plan was to gradually bring the Uchiha clan into his scheme and slowly change them.
