At nine o'clock in the evening, businessmen of all sizes gathered at the Konoha Hotel.
At a glance, there were more than forty people present.
In addition to self-employed individuals and lower-level dealers, there were shareholders of steel plants, owners of textile factories, and owners of grocery stores on the commercial streets.
Although opening a grocery store might seem low-key, you could tell its profitability by the location of the store.
With the rise of commercial streets, land prices had skyrocketed, and each store showcased its strong financial standing.
Moreover, there were merchants from Kirigakure and Sunagakure in the commercial street, profiting from customers from other villages.
After a group of people sat down, one businessman spoke in a strange voice: "Youya kid, are you even an adult this year? Although you've made a name for yourself on the front line, who knows if the things in the newspaper are true?"
Another businessman chimed in: "And little Yuya, have you reported to Hokage-sama? Can we start working?"
Let's not forget that Hokage-sama ordered you to agree to our requests while you're talking nonsense here!"
Uchiha Kagami's eyes flashed with coldness.
However, Yuya smiled slightly, then took out a stack of papyrus from his pocket, holding back his anger as he distributed a few sheets for everyone to read.
One businessman took it with disdain.
After just a few glances, his expression shifted from disdain to solemnity. He then looked up at Yuya, the greed in his eyes unmistakable.
Yuya said calmly, "No one can complete this matter without the coordination of Hokage-sama."
The greed in the first businessman's eyes gradually morphed into contemplation, and he nodded, passing the sheet to the next person.
As a result, this change of expression spread contagiously among everyone present.
The proposal Yuya presented was very simple: to establish a savings bank, where the villagers of Konoha could deposit their money, and the bank would issue interest annually, usually a few percentage points.
During the year, the bank could use this money to invest and generate more income.
Essentially, it was equivalent to using the civilians' money to profit for them.
These businessmen were all profit-driven individuals.
Naturally, they couldn't ignore such a proposal.
One businessman quickly asked, "You, Agent Yuya, how can we specifically join this proposal?"
Yuya's full title was Assistant Agent for Hokage's Office Affairs, which meant he was the secretary's assistant.
But it was clear that Yuya, as the tool-man secretary, had more authority.
Senju Tobirama trusted him more, especially after Yuya proved his capabilities.
Yuya didn't answer immediately; he waited in silence.
From a practical standpoint, Yuya should not have presented this draft now.
The villagers of Konoha didn't have much spare money at the moment. The good times had only passed for a little over a year, and they hadn't saved much.
There was actually no need to open a savings bank.
Moreover, the further back in the row, the more people Yuya had to control, strengthening his influence.
Unlike now, when he needed to recruit a few businessmen to join; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough cash flow or personnel to get things done.
But Yuya couldn't wait any longer. He was compelled to put his plans into action, even if it meant doing things he had intended for later.
These businessmen might make a lot of money in the next few years, but this was still the world of Naruto, and only by becoming a ninja could one actually touch the centers of power.
Without the protection of power, no matter how much money they made, Yuya could still make these businessmen pay it back.
Besides, businessmen were generally opportunistic and hesitant, so Yuya decided to present them with a tempting offer.
Of course, this was not a bombshell; it was simply a proposal to open a bank. How could this be considered a threat?
But it had to be enough to entice these profit-seeking individuals.
After a long silence, the merchants gradually quieted down.
Seeing this, Yuya slowly spoke: "I have a plan here, and I also have Hokage-sama's support. The question is...
Where will this savings bank be located?"
The businessmen present were stunned.
They suddenly recalled the current land prices in Konoha's inner city. If they truly wanted to discuss a location with available land...
"...I think the building next to the central commercial street..." A businessman tentatively suggested, but Yuya closed his eyes before he finished speaking.
The businessman quickly fell silent.
Yuya opened his eyes and softly responded, "I just remembered that opening a savings bank doesn't seem to require all of you to join. That will be all for today. I'll go back and think about the list."
As Yuya said this, he stood up and prepared to leave.
The businessmen were unwilling to let him go, quickly stopping him and trying to persuade him to stay.
After a brief discussion, they still avoided addressing Yuya's thoughts: He had only one goal—
To get land into the hands of the major families.
If some people hadn't seen Uchiha Kagami here, they would have mentioned the Uchiha clan.
But now, no one dared to.
Yuya continued to remain silent.
Until one businessman gritted his teeth and said, "I have some connections with the Inuzuka clan; let me go and talk about it!"
Yuya closed his eyes and remained still.
The merchants understood that the Inuzuka clan was not the target.
After that, it was the Aburame, Shimura, Akimichi...
And Sarutobi.
Yuya heard the mention of Sarutobi and opened his eyes.
He nodded and looked at the businessman who spoke. "If you can do it, it will be your first achievement."
There was no envy among the businessmen, only ridicule.
The businessman who spoke was a bit confused, but then gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Give me a five percent share! I'll make this happen!"
Yuya snorted disdainfully. "One percent. If you don't want to do it, then forget it."
After saying that, Yuya packed up his things and stood up, taking two steps before pausing.
The businessman thought Yuya regretted it and was about to speak when Yuya interrupted: "I approved your application for resumption of work.
I will pay the wages of those workers on your behalf, as I am concerned that some people might not be able to pay their wages."
After saying that, Yuya extended a finger. "I only need half of you on the list to join me in building a savings bank. Who do you think should be out?"
After Yuya finished speaking, he casually patted the shoulder of a businessman next to him.
The businessman who had just scolded Yuya and laughed at him fell to the ground and began foaming at the mouth.
"Oh, he died unexpectedly." Yuya looked up at the businessmen who were staring at him with various expressions and smiled. "I helped you deal with a competitor; don't mention it."
After saying that, Yuya left the Konoha Hotel.
Of course, he hadn't killed anyone himself. The hearts of these businessmen were black, and their blood was foul. Killing them would only dirty his hands.
He wanted these pests to eliminate each other.
In the hotel, the businessman who fell to the ground and was foaming at the mouth grabbed another businessman's feet, gasping, "Help me... help me..."
The expression of the businessman who was caught by the feet changed, and he quickly pulled away with a look of horror, screaming as he left his seat.
But from the beginning to the end, he had no intention of asking anyone for help.
The businessman on the ground couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
One businessman sniffed and realized there was still a breath. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I knew that kid with the yellow mouth wouldn't dare to touch us."
What he didn't know was that the eyes of some businessmen around him had begun to gleam...
The next day, when a big businessman confidently came to the Hokage's office to look for Yuya, he was stopped by Uchiha Kagami.
The big businessman was puzzled, and Uchiha Kagami said, "The agent will not see any of you until only half of the people on the list remain."
The big businessman grew anxious and concocted a reason: "I'm not here to discuss savings banks!"
Uchiha Kagami looked at the big businessman coldly, not saying much.
The big businessman shouted angrily, "Do you think you're the only one who can make money in Konoha?! I'm going to the Hidden Cloud Village!"
However, after leaving the building, the big businessman's mind was filled with the savings bank plan proposed by Yuya.
He estimated that the first phase would be worth tens of billions. When had he ever seen so much money?
Not to mention there would be a second and third phase...
As for leaving Konoha to do business in other villages...
The big businessman who had been thinking about it all day was troubled. However, the next day, his wife and daughter found him dead in their home, collapsing in despair.
And Yuya smiled.
I finally caught your chicken feet, you bastar
