Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 172 Even a monopolistic business can fail to make money?!

Rope Tree and Yang team up to rush back to Konoha.

Just like two years ago, when I left Konoha!

Switch back to the view.

Yuuki sat in the minister's office, a hint of emotion in his voice, "Nawaki, you've really made something of yourself!"

Just then, a police officer knocked on the door and entered, saying to Yuuki, "Minister! Chief Kurama has arrived!"

"it is good!"

Yuuki nodded, went next door to call Uchiha Shouichi, and together they went to the reception room inside the building.

As Yuuki and Moriichi descended the stairs, they ran into Kurama Hisakatsu, the newly arrived head of the Kurama family, and Kurama Nobuyasu, the eldest elder.

The only thing they have in common is that they are young.

In addition, all the Jonin fighters of the Kurama clan were present.

It sounds like they have a large and powerful force.

In reality, there are four Jonin officially assigned to the village and two Jonin combatants, totaling six people.

Yuuki greeted him warmly, while Shouichi stood by with a sheepish grin.

"Chief Yuuki, you're too kind!" Kurama Hisakatsu stepped forward and grasped Yuuki's hand. His face, which was not fat, was now rosy, a stark contrast to his pale complexion a few days ago.

“We’ve arrived too late. We should have gone to the clan’s territory to pay them a proper visit,” Elder Kurama Nobuyasu chimed in.

"Haha, you two are too kind. We are all companions who settled in Konoha when the village was founded. We are all family. There is no need to be so polite." Yuuki led the two to the reception room.

After a brief chat, Kurama Kukatsu handed over a detailed list and a scroll, saying, "Chief Yushu, thank you so much for sharing the fungal carpet. This resource has really solved our urgent problem. This is just a small token of our appreciation."

So direct?

Yuuki smiled, pressed down on the scroll, and shook his head, saying, "Clan Chief Kukatsu, given the friendship between our two families, there's no need for this. Take it back. The Uchiha clan isn't short of money. I invited you two here not for that paltry sum of money from the fungal carpet."

Yuuki's expression turned serious: "I heard that the Hokage has recently developed a new resource and is planning to cooperate with the Nara family to sell it? He even approached your store?"

“Indeed, I heard it’s called something like Monkey Hair Grass.” Kurama Kukatsu said loyally, “As soon as I heard about this stuff, I immediately refused to sell it. How can it compare to the fungal carpet provided by Chief Yuuki?”

By always standing by the Uchiha clan and watching the rise of the police department, Kurama Kusaku was able to avoid constantly changing his mind!

The main reason is that monkey hair grass is too expensive!

The purchase price of monkey hair grass is about the same as the selling price of fungal mats, so there is no profit at all!

Even if we set aside the fact that it's expensive, that's one thing.

Not only are the quantities small, but the effects are also slightly inferior. The supply is firmly controlled by the Hokage, and we can only buy finished products. Who would be willing to do this kind of uncertain business?

People are willing to risk their lives for a business, but nobody wants to make a loss!

"I see." Yuuki nodded in satisfaction, intending to further solidify his relationship with the Kurama family: "By the way, Chief Kukatsu, there's one more thing I need your help with."

"That's very kind of you. Whatever Chief Yushu's needs are, our Kurama family will definitely do our best to help!"

"It's not that serious." Yushu waved his hand: "It's just that the people in the interrogation room have told me several times that the Kurama clan members who have the ability to manipulate bloodlines with their five senses play a very important role in the interrogation work."

Therefore, the police department plans to invite all members of the Kurama family who have awakened their bloodline limit to join the work!

"Is that so?" Kurama Kukatsu pondered. "There are about seven other clansmen who have awakened their bloodline limit, but they don't hold any official positions. However, their positions within the police force..."

“Of course, we won’t work for free; the police department doesn’t have that many positions.” Yuuki waved his hand. “But we can increase the pay! The Uchiha clan plans to contribute three million ryo each month to hire seven bloodline talents. At the same time, the police department will establish a special department for training genjutsu, which will be managed by the Kurama clan. A grant of thirty million ryo shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" The two high-ranking members of the Kurama family stood up excitedly.

A salary of three million taels of silver, that's an average of more than four hundred thousand taels of silver per person per month!

That's equivalent to the reward for four medium-difficulty B-level missions!

Under normal circumstances, how many B-rank missions can an average ninja complete per month?

Totally impossible!

There are still 30 million taels left. Isn't this pure poverty alleviation?

Even though the Anma family made money after opening the mushroom carpet store, it wasn't much.

Of the cultivated fungal mats, 70% were handed over to the Uchiha clan, while the remaining 30% were sold at four times the cost price.

They only make a 20% profit.

As for the mushroom carpet shops on the Senju family's side, they almost never sell to the public; the internal factions have absorbed all the mushroom carpets.

Yuuki sent them some money after hearing about Kurama's scheme.

That's incredibly bad at business.

This is how a monopolistic business can be run!

There's nothing we can do; the price has been set and there's no room for change for the time being. We can only offer some support as the leader.

The Kurama duo repeatedly pledged their loyalty, appearing to regard the Uchiha clan as their guiding light.

Kurama Nobuyasu sighed, no wonder the clan leader had once again 'golden up' the Uchiha clan.

The new Uchiha clan leader is quite a figure!

When there's meat to eat, they really stuff it into their cheeks!

After exchanging a few words, they said their goodbyes.

Suddenly, a member of the police force rushed over again and reported to Yuuki: "About a hundred miles outside the village, a ninja squad from Kumogakure has been spotted!"
