20 advance ahead chapter.....🥷🥷
Uchiha Nan spoke at length for twenty minutes, not realizing how much time had passed.
"So, for the development of Konoha, we must work hard on ourselves."
After Uchiha Nan finished speaking, everyone in the room perked up. They realized that what he had just said was a prelude to more serious matters. The important points were about to be discussed.
"Each family has sacrificed many members for Konoha. The pensions for their families must be paid immediately and cannot be delayed."
"But regarding the other debts Konoha owes you, I propose we take a break."
Uchiha Nan's words caused the senior officials of the various ninja clans to react visibly.
Continue to owe money?
This touches the interests of all the ninja clans in Konoha!
"Don't worry, Konoha's debt will be repaid in full."
"It's just that we can't pay it all at once. I propose we pay in installments."
"We'll first pay off thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent will be paid over five to ten years, depending on the situation. Interest will be paid according to the bank's borrowing rates."
"What do you think?"
In their hearts, all the ninjas were cursing.
How about it?
Of course not!
We've lived frugally for so long. Now that the money has arrived, it must not be delayed further. Do you think we're nothing?
"As the leader of the Uchiha clan, I first agree to this plan."
Uchiha Nan symbolically raised his hand, then looked around at everyone.
Well, it feels uncomfortable to be in this position, but it's not a big problem.
Uchiha felt confident, relying on his strength, that no one would dare oppose him without knowing his capabilities.
"Hyuuga Clan Leader, what's your stance?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Hinata Takuma with a smile, signaling, "You're my ally. This is your moment to show support."
"Ah, this..."
Hinata Takuma was on the verge of tears. He wanted to disagree, but Uchiha Nan's intent was clear.
As an ally, he had to support the decision.
Betraying them at this critical moment would mean the Hyuga clan would be targeted.
Everyone in the room focused on Hinata Takuma, hoping he'd say the word "disagree."
However, Uchiha Nan knew the Hyuga clan's characteristics; they wouldn't act boldly.
If they had courage, they wouldn't have sacrificed the family patriarch's younger brother to appease Yunyin Village's anger.
What embarrassed Uchiha Nan most was that all this was done in self-defense.
"Agree!"
Hinata Takuma forced out the word "agree," feeling drained.
"Good!"
"High-spirited and upright!"
"Everyone, applaud the Hyuga clan leader!"
Uchiha Nan led the applause. The other clan heads, despite feeling sour, followed suit.
When leaders applaud, you can't lower your hands. Do you still want to participate?
Got one!
Uchiha Nan turned his attention to Senju Momoyama.
"The leader of the Senju clan, the Senju and Uchiha clans jointly founded Konoha. Naturally, they understand Konoha's difficulties best. This is the time to embody the Will of Fire."
"I believe Senju Momoyama is the backbone of his family and the Senju clan."
Uchiha Nan spoke several paragraphs, pressuring Senju Momoyama and the Senju clan.
"So, what's your opinion, Senju Clan Leader?"
Senju Momoyama felt cornered. Uchiha Nan left him no room to refuse. With the hats he wore, could he really say no?
He couldn't risk it. The Senju clan always claimed to be Konoha's orthodoxy and inheritors of the Will of Fire. If they faltered now, they'd lose their political stance.
"Agree!" Senju Momoyama struggled internally, wanting to say no. He needed funds to restart the Hashirama cell experiment, a potential multi-million-dollar venture.
Ultimately, Senju Momoyama conceded. Political stance outweighed money, forming the foundation of the Senju clan's survival in Konoha.
Got another one!
Uchiha Nan was secretly pleased. With the three wealthy ninja clans in Konoha expressing their stance, the rest were easier to handle.
"Chief of the Nara clan, your three clans, the Ino, Shika, and Cho, share a bond. What's your view?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Nara Shikato, considering him as a potential future ally, testing his loyalty.
Nara Shikato understood the situation. Uchiha Nan held the power, and opposition meant disaster.
He responded decisively, without hesitation.
"For Konoha's sake, our three clans naturally agree!"
"Very good!"
Uchiha Nan praised him, satisfied with Nara Shikato's wisdom.
"And the rest of you?"
"Who is in favor, and who is against?"
Uchiha Nan, too lazy to address them individually, posed the question to everyone else.
"If you don't agree, speak up. Families have their challenges, and as a patriarch, I understand the difficulty of maintaining a family."
Uchiha Nan added a line to make his proposal more appealing.
So frustrating!
They wanted to beat Uchiha Nan up!
The remaining clan leaders were furious. A knife was at their throats, yet he smiled and asked if they were satisfied.
Was this something a human could do?
Unfortunately, they would never realize such a thought in their lifetime.
"Agree"
"Agree"
"Agree"
The chorus of agreement pleased Uchiha Nan.
"Okay, this proposal passes unanimously!"
"Indeed, everyone here is a loyal servant of Konoha, fully embodying the Will of Fire."
"All for Konoha!"
Uchiha Nan's official words flowed smoothly, his slogans resonating louder. His leadership sickness infected Uchiha Nan.
"Today's meeting has concluded successfully. Everyone, applaud!"
Uchiha Nan stood and applauded first. The others followed, eyes glistening with tears, seemingly moved by the spirit of the meeting.
Of course not, those were tears of pain, foreseeing tough times ahead for their families!
But Uchiha Nan was in high spirits. After the meeting, everyone went home, and Uchiha Nan returned to his nest.
Feng and Ling had prepared lunch, waiting for him. Uchiha Nan ate three large bowls!
After the meal, feeling elated, Uchiha Nan decided to do something fun. He hadn't used his ten chances to draw the lottery yet, so today seemed like a good day to try.
Uchiha Nan locked himself in his room and prayed as usual.
"Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Jesus.
