Naruto was a little confused. He was waiting to go back to the Land of Rain and show off with his friends, but you...
"Then what am I doing in Konoha?"
"Accept my teachings so that you can understand what a ninja is and what Konoha is."
"I reject!"
Iruka sat up straight, with the mockery in his eyes barely concealed.
"Is it because of your status as the son of the Fourth Hokage?"
"No."
"Are you relying on your status as the Hokage's personal disciple to bully me, the Dean of Studies?"
"No."
"What's that for?"
"It's my rejection, Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto was practically yelling, this dean was so annoying, he was practically rolling in his own minefield.
Sure enough, the evil director laughed.
"The ordinary Uzumaki Naruto is just a little kid who hasn't even reached adulthood yet. He has no right to refuse the arrangements made by the Ninja School's Dean and the Hokage."
"I am your temporary guardian now."
Naruto was furious, he hated that people would relate everything about him to that man on the Hokage Rock.
Saying it once is pride, saying it twice is numbness, saying it countless times is disgust.
Finally, after seeing my mother's handwritten letter, I had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
He decided to let this bastard see how powerful Master Uzumaki Naruto was.
The first day of vacation.
Naruto was woken up by Iruka when he was sleeping soundly.
"I need to sleep a little longer..."
"Son of the Fourth Hokage, it's time for us to leave."
bass!
The little boy turned over and got up. He couldn't sleep at all and was filled with anger.
Iruka felt quite amused. This trick was too useful.
Then the first stop is the assessment area behind the Hokage Building.
This is a very special department. Naruto has been here for a year and rarely sets foot here.
Because this place is close to the Hokage Building and there are a lot of jonin and strong people, his mediocre kung fu is of no use here at all.
The ninjas gathered in groups of two or three, looking sad, which made Naruto a little curious.
"This special place was arranged by the Fifth Hokage. Its original purpose was to test the new Will of Fire."
"After the Battle of the Hokage Building, the village's ideology began to reform from that point on."
"Everyone who wants to enter the Anbu and get promoted needs to take the test of the new will of fire."
"Later, it developed that Genin to Chunin, and Chunin to Jonin also needed to take exams."
"People from the security forces, the intelligence department, and even the torture squad need to take the test."
Naruto was puzzled, why did he do this?
These thoughts, wills, etc. are all drowsy things. They are completely useless.
Iruka said without hesitation.
“To protect ordinary people, protect the weak, and give people a fairer space to grow.
The understanding and interpretation of past ideas have deviated from the original intention when the village was built.
Certain groups use this to corrupt our homes.
For example, in the past, kids your age were already able to go to the battlefield.
Giving you and your classmates a kunai will make you the best cannon fodder, with a death rate of nearly 100% and no tomorrow at all.
If you are lucky, you can still keep part of your body and lie under the memorial to receive a few tears. If you are unlucky, you will only be left with a name on the death list. "
Naruto was a little frightened. It turned out that Konoha had experienced this before.
At this time, Iruka showed a mocking smile again.
"What I just said was wrong, the son of the Fourth Hokage will not go through this.
There will be safer places for you, or you can go ahead and gild yourself under the protection of others.
Wherever you go, people will compliment you, and even more people will fawn on you.
Even ordinary people would be scared when they see you because there is such a huge difference in status.
Now do you know the function of thoughts?
If used well, it is a weapon to break down all classes; if used poorly, it becomes a new shackle and barrier. "
Although Naruto was very angry about Iruka's attitude, he listened to him this time.
Say that you will not become such a person.
"Then why do you keep skipping classes when others don't?"
“Isn’t this a privileged class that believes in its own strength?”
"The son of the Fourth Hokage."
Iruka maintained a somewhat uncomfortable and sarcastic expression on the surface, but in his heart he was giving a thumbs up to the Hokage's secretary.
It turns out that this kind of kid needs a more stimulating way of education.
I had talked about Konoha's past history and the changes in its ideas countless times in class, but this guy just wouldn't listen at all.
This actually made me start to learn.
"Okay, I'm not here to talk about this today. I'm here to find someone to chat with you."
Iruka took Naruto to an office.
"Brother Asuma, I've brought people here."
An unshaven but bookish uncle walked out from behind the desk.
Suddenly he said something maliciously.
"This is... the son of the Fourth Hokage?"
Naruto instantly became angry like a frog, but the bearded uncle seemed to have seen something particularly interesting and started laughing, and even Iruka started laughing.
They both knew exactly what that sentence meant to Asuma.
"Okay, okay, please don't be angry, Uzumaki Naruto-kun. I apologize for the joke I just made."
As he said that, Asuma stretched out his hand and shook hands with the kid very seriously.
"I roughly know your thoughts and feelings, so... I'll take you out for a walk."
The three of them walked out and came to the core area. The ninjas at the door made way. The status of the examiner was even more intimidating than that of the head of their own family.
After all, even the clan leader has to take the exam.
Asuma was originally going to accompany Hong on a date, but Iruka said that there was a kid who looked a bit like him back then, so he became interested.
"Naruto, do you see that street over there?"
"Well, what's wrong, uncle?"
"It used to be my house."
"Nani?"
This is an extremely luxurious street in the core area. Even if Naruto is slow-witted, he knows what it means.
"Are you surprised? This is just the beginning."
The three of them began to stroll around the Hokage Building.
Next, Naruto was enlightened. This uncle's family used to be quite wealthy.
Three streets have been marked out, and other shops or industries have also been included.
"This street...I think so. There are too many streets and shops outside. I can't remember it all."
Not only is he financially strong, but his circle of friends are all rich people.
The way it's told is a bit spooky.
"This street where weapons are sold used to belong to a friend of mine who I grew up with. His name is Shimura Yuken."
"I killed him with my own hands. He was planning to rebel against the village, but was melted by the Fire Release Technique."
"This street... Mito Rei... Hanging..."
I talked about a lot of things and finally felt hungry.
"Little ghost, it seems like you are very lucky, so I will treat you to a feast, okay?"
"it is good."
Such a rich uncle will definitely treat me to a big dinner, it would be a waste not to eat.
then……
"Three bowls of super deluxe tonkotsu ramen. Please enjoy."
It’s not that Naruto doesn’t like Ichiraku Ramen, but he has walked so many streets and heard so many stories about the shops on the street, and the result is this…
"...Uncle, you are not bragging, are you?"
"How is that possible? I used to be... the son of the third generation."
Iruka followed Noah's advice and found several most suitable ideological teachers for the child, and this was only the first day.
In the Land of Rain, Kakuzu's office.
“The Finance Department must show its attitude.”
Chapter 46 Final Plan: Tin Bucket
Kakuzu had a headache looking at the recent financial reports.
This year, Akatsuki organization had a few more money-eating beasts that could not be explained, and the investment in various underground engineering facilities was simply shocking to him.
What made Kakuzu even more angry was that even after spending so much money so far, the people in the research department still hadn't stopped, and they still had an attitude of wanting more.
The people in the scientific research department, led by Orochimaru and Sasori, are too much. They submit reports and ask for money every day.
It is true that Lanyue is the highest-level project, but there are too many messy sub-projects.
Before, Scorpion could still provide some positive feedback and help Akatsuki make money.
Now, we are starting to burn money without any results.
Not to mention Orochimaru. The progress of the biopharmaceutical factory he was asked to set up was as slow as an old donkey pulling a mill.
Noah said that the development of finished pharmaceuticals will have a dimensionality-reducing impact on the entire continent.
The Akatsuki organization has a technological barrier that is extremely difficult to replicate, as well as the technical conditions for mass production, and can easily distribute its products to a sales network throughout the ninja world.
Everything is ready, except the process.
He specially paid a high consulting fee to Tsunade, and the other party's answer was that as long as it was officially promoted, it would have a significant transformative effect on the medical system.
Especially when the income level of ordinary people across the continent can already support it.
It means the birth of another super large pillar industry.
This prospect was a huge temptation for people in the Ministry of Finance.
