the next day.
December 27th.
Today is the 3rd birthday of Hinata Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan. It is an important day for the entire Hyuga clan.
The day when the clan's eldest son turns three years old is when the 'caged bird' curse is placed in the minds of the children of the separated families.
Early in the morning, the servants in the patriarch's mansion began to clean and decorate.
Compared to other ninja clans, the Hyuga clan still retains many ancient traditions.
In terms of appearance, even the stronger Uchiha clan cannot compare with the Hyuga clan.
Namikaze Minato even directly gave all the Hyuga clan members a day off today so that they could attend Miss Hinata's birthday party.
He will also be there later.
...
Near noon, Uchiha Makoto came to the Hokage's office and approached Minato Namikaze.
"Minato-senpai."
"Makoto?"
Namikaze Minato was dealing with official duties. When he heard a familiar voice, he raised his head and said with a smile:
"It seems that you have something to ask me for again, otherwise you should be practicing at this time.
Is it about the technique of using the Flying Thunder God Technique, or are there any issues related to the sealing technique? "
"Minato-senpai, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?" Uchiha Makoto smiled slightly, then took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Namikaze Minato.
"What is this?" Namikaze Minato opened the scroll and looked at it, and said, "Look, I said you only come here when you have something to do."
Uchiha Makoto smiled and said: "I am here to generate income for the village and increase efficiency!"
Minato Namikaze glanced at Uchiha Makoto angrily, and said with a smile: "You have to let the Jonin take action for your security mission, and the reward is so low. You are seeking public benefit for personal gain!"
"We are all our own people, why do we know so clearly? It's just a little cheaper.
Moreover, the person who entrusted the task is me. Why did we see each other like this before? "
Knowing that he was joking, Uchiha Makoto waved his hand.
Namikaze Minato glanced at Uchiha Makoto and asked:
"It seems that you already have a suitable candidate in mind. Tell me, who do you want to take over this task?"
Uchiha Makoto raised two fingers and smiled, "Not many, just two people, Kakashi and Shisui!"
Namikaze Minato nodded and asked, "Don't we need more manpower?"
With that said, Namikaze Minato signed his name on the scroll given by Uchiha Makoto, stamped it with the Hokage's seal, and accepted the mission commission.
"No, actually two people are enough. The main thing is to show your attitude." Uchiha Makoto smiled lightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Cheng, don't worry, I will negotiate this matter with the top management of the Fire Country. I hope you won't get excited.
For the time being, we cannot take too big a step. "
Namikaze Minato said seriously.
"Well, Minato-senpai, don't worry, I understand, that's why I came to you." Uchiha Makoto nodded.
The main purpose now is to increase the strength, and the funds affect the operation of the research institute, which also has a chain impact on the increase of Uchiha Makoto, so he came to Namifeng Shuimon.
The reason why Uchiha Reika told him about the hot spring hotel yesterday was actually because she was in trouble.
After opening 15 chain hot spring hotels in a row, Uchiha Reika is actually planning to continue to expand and use the remaining money to open 10 more.
Even in places without hot springs, you can open several high-end clubs to make money.
Uchiha Makoto naturally strongly supports this.
But he didn't expect that the top management of the Fire Country would take a fancy to this big cake and prepare to take a bite.
Having lived in the world of Naruto for 18 years, Makoto Uchiha also knows that businessmen in the world of Naruto are actually just small businesses and cannot make a big impact.
There will be a small friction between the big country and the big ninja village every few years, and it will be a big war every ten years or so.
There are constant wars between small countries.
When going out to do business, there is no way to guarantee safety without hiring a few ninjas every time you go back and forth.
If you hire ninjas for a small business, you can only make hard money, but if you hire too many ninjas for a large business, the cost will be huge, and you will have to pay heavy taxes.
The ninjas of Konoha Village are naturally the first choice of businessmen, but the ninjas of Konoha are strong, have a high mission completion rate, and have a good reputation, but they are expensive!
The hiring fee for ninjas in small villages is indeed cheap, but if you encounter a scam, you might even kill the employer, and then go directly to hide in the mountains for a few years. Generally, there is nothing you can do against them.
Uchiha Reika's business is very large and developing rapidly, so it is natural that she has benefited from Uchiha Makoto and the Uchiha clan.
If you want to open a hot spring hotel in a big city, you must have connections, and you must also pay heavy taxes every year.
Uchiha Makoto didn't know it before, but now that he knows it, naturally he can't take advantage of the high-level officials of the Fire Country.
Especially recently, when Uchiha Reika was preparing to expand its scale, some senior officials from the Land of Fire actually wanted to invest in it.
If you want to become a shareholder, just forget it. Firstly, no money will be given, and secondly, no venue will be provided, only policy discounts will be provided.
Uchiha Makoto only wants to say four words: QNMB!
With his current strength, coupled with the influence and connections of the Uchiha clan, according to his expectation, the entire Fire Country should open the door to Uchiha Reika.
Later, he figured out that the top management of the Fire Country had done this for the sake of his 'face'.
These people really want money and have no shame, no! You don’t want your life!
After being rejected by Uchiha Reika, the senior officials of the Fire Country didn't say anything, let alone became angry.
However, from time to time, guests at the hot spring hotel would eat cockroaches after eating, and then complain and leave negative reviews.
Or maybe some wandering ninjas were drunk and causing trouble.
Also, the hotel chef was beaten for no apparent reason.
As a high-end hot spring hotel, 'Paradise on Earth' has a full range of services, so it has this ability to attract money.
If this kind of small situation continues, the business of hot spring hotels will naturally be hit.
Not to mention opening 10 more branches, it is a bit difficult to maintain the business of the remaining 15 stores.
In the City of Fire alone, Uchiha Reika has opened 4 hot spring hotels, and these 4 are also the most profitable.
As a result, the Fire Capital, which was least supposed to have problems, actually had problems.
Two of them have closed down for rectification.
According to Uchiha Makoto's temper, he wanted to kill all the troublemakers directly.
But you can’t kill others just because they gave you bad reviews or caused trouble when you were drunk.
This is business.
Solve the problem at its source, or the person who created it.
So Uchiha Makoto issued a mission, entrusting Kakashi and Shisui to go to the hot spring hotel in the City of Fire.
Shisui is the second master in the Uchiha clan after Uchiha Makoto, and Kakashi is a student of the Fourth Hokage Namifeng Shuimen.
Not only their strength, the two of them also represent the attitude of the Uchiha clan and Konoha's top brass.
With Shisui's attainments in genjutsu and Uchiha Makoto's true inheritance of "convincing people with reason", he should be able to take down the top brass of the Fire Nation very quickly.
These people have a long history of arrogance and superiority.
The first Hokage Senju Hashirama once even knelt down to the Daimyo and the top brass of the Fire Country over matters concerning village funds.
Some people were afraid of making mistakes due to Uchiha Makoto's strength.
But some people smelled money and began to test his bottom line.
Uchiha Makoto wanted to tell them: Sir, times have changed!
If his strength hadn't reached the level of invincibility, in order to stabilize his development, he would have wanted to directly launch a revolution and change the entire ninja world.
A group of ordinary people actually control the economic lifeline of ninjas with extraordinary abilities. It's simply funny!
No one can ride on his head except Terumi Mei!
First, give him a warning to let the top management of the Fire Country understand his attitude.
He didn't believe that there were people who only wanted money, not their lives!
...
Soon, at the notice of the ANBU ninja, Kakashi and Shisui came to the Hokage's office.
After Namikaze Minato's brief explanation, Kakashi and Shisui happily accepted their three-month mission.
Especially with the guarantee of lifelong VIP membership in Uchiha Makoto's hot spring hotel and free services, the two of them were even more motivated.
