What makes Uchiha Tokimitsu happy the most is that there is currently no financial regulatory agency of any kind in Konoha or even the ninja world.
Although it is clear that all major countries in the ninja world have their own banks and issue corresponding currencies, and perform services such as deposits, remittances, loans, etc., they are particularly backward in terms of financial derivatives, and there is no regulatory system.
As the current largest ninja village, Konoha's financial application is naturally close to zero; as the number one military contractor in the ninja world, even the funds of the ninja village still rely on allocations from daimyo and ninja missions. Taking commissions, and even the reason for launching wars between ninja villages is to grab the share of tasks. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Of course, it is this vacuum in the financial market that has created an excellent opportunity for Uchiha Tokko to harvest and deceive people without restraint.
Moreover, as a son of a wealthy family, Uchiha Tokumitsu has a powerful organization like the police department under his command, and is protected by the super strong force of the Uchiha clan. He has no worries about those leeks who dare to rebel.
…
Three days later, Hatake Sakumo finally finished the work at hand and took the initiative to visit the new station of the Eastern Border Defense Force with full of sadness.
Uchiha Tokumitsu is naturally very willing to communicate with allies.
"Tokuguang-kun, the bond crisis seems to be getting bigger and bigger..."
After the usual small talk, Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to bring up this topic.
This is exactly what Uchiha Tokumitsu is looking forward to, otherwise he would not have allowed family members to start spreading all kinds of wild rumors so quickly in private.
"I've heard about it, but don't worry, the war bonds issued by the Uchiha clan are very safe."
But after all, you still have to be patient when fishing, so Uchiha Tokumitsu just replied seemingly calmly.
"How many more has the Uchiha clan... issued?"
Hatake Sakumo asked in a lowered voice subconsciously.
The ninjas who have recently come to him for help have generally issued two to five times more of the IOUs issued by the village. Now that the Kirigakure War has come to an end, and the time for the IOUs to be redeemed has not yet been determined, there are still concerns within Konoha regarding the Ninja Bonds. Rumors of an impending thunderstorm had reached his ears.
It was also because of this that Hatake Sakumo realized that the so-called "bond" created by the Uchiha clan was actually played so big by other ninja clan.
"One point and five times."
Uchiha Tokko replied very honestly.
This is also the latest information learned through the exchange of letters with the clan leader Uchiha Shifang.
Before leaving the village to fight, Uchiha Tokumitsu had asked that the over-issue amount should not exceed 20% of the total value, which was one point and two times.
But it is obvious that in the face of the huge inflow of funds in a short period of time, the Uchiha Quartet failed to hold on to their bottom line.
Fortunately, although the bottom line has been broken through, the degree of breakthrough is not significant. You only need to adjust the original bottom line downwards.
"That may not be the case for other ninja clans..."
After sighing, Hatake Sakumo picked up the tea cup.
"Yeah, that's not..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also sighed, then picked up the teapot and refilled Hatake Sakumo's cup.
One thing to say is that Hatake Sakumo has been the jounin squad leader for some time, and his speaking skills have indeed improved, but not much.
Hatake Sakumo moved on the futon a little uncomfortably.
He didn't know if Uchiha Tokko understood his purpose.
"The bonds of the Ninja clan may be related to Konoha's credibility in the Ninja world..."
After a while, Hatake Sakumo said.
"Yes, you are right."
Uchiha Demitsu nodded, then pointed to the cup and said: "Please drink tea."
Hatake Sakumo had no choice but to pick up the teacup as well.
"How about the tea?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked in a very friendly manner with a smile on his face.
"It's pretty good, the smell is just right..."
Hatake Sakumo didn't understand tea, but he couldn't say it directly, so he had to simply compound it.
"Of course, this is good tea from the top of the mountains in the Kingdom of Whirlpool. After the war, there are only a dozen thousand-year-old trees left."
Uchiha Tokumitsu introduced enthusiastically: "This is the most precious tea. In the past, only the Uzumaki clan chiefs and some daimyo nobles were eligible to enjoy it."
"Is it……"
Hatake Sakumo looked at the seemingly ordinary tea soup in the cup, and then took another sip.
It feels like the free tea at Barbeque Q with sugar added, and it doesn’t seem to be anything special...
"Shihe no Soup has a charming amber color. It is sweet to drink and fragrant with nectar..." Uchiha Tokumitsu introduced with great interest: "Even the water for making tea is good water. It comes from the mountains and is collected into the water." lake……"
"Tokumitsu-kun!"
Hatake Sakumo had to interrupt Uchiha Tokumitsu's introduction, otherwise the topic at the beginning would not be known where it would lead.
"You know, I have another purpose for coming here this time..."
"Sakumo-kun, it's okay to speak up if you have something to say. We are allies..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't take it seriously. He pushed the tea cup away gently, folded his hands on the table and said with a smile: "What? Do you think our alliance has become a place where we need to talk politely?"
"This... naturally isn't..."
Hatake Sakumo was immediately embarrassed by Uchiha Tokumitsu's unabashed 'sincerity'.
Sure enough, sincerity is the greatest nirvana.
"I just feel... I think it might be a bit hard to say..."
"The ninja army of Uchiha has fought for you so many times, why should I be embarrassed?"
Uchiha Demitsu said nonchalantly.
Hatake Sakumo felt even more embarrassed.
"Then I'll just tell you!"
Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth and decided to put down his dignity.
Uchiha Demitsu looked at him with encouraging eyes.
But I was thinking secretly: CPU succeeded!
"You should know that there are problems with the bonds of many ninjas in the village..."
"I know, but the Uchiha clan's bonds are absolutely fine!"
Uchiha Demitsu said with great certainty.
"If they are willing to hand over the equity in the bonds, Deguang-kun, will you take over?"
Hatake Sakumo said cautiously.
"uncertain……"
Uchiha Demitsu thought for a moment before answering.
"Insufficient funds?"
"Yes."
Uchiha Tokko nodded firmly.
"To be honest, it was the ninjas from the ninja clan who were part of the ninja army under my command who came to me, hoping to ask Hokage-sama to end the war with Kirigakure as soon as possible and honor the promised note. I only found out about this after asking the reason..."
Hatake Sakumo said with some sadness: "The ninjas are very worried about the village's payment problem..."
"Indeed, and it seems that there is no way to get compensation from Kirigakure."
Uchiha Demitsu also said very straightforwardly.
Kirigakure and Konoha face each other across the sea. Even if they are defeated in the Ninja Continent, they only need to leave. However, Konoha has difficulty organizing the ninja army to fight against Kirigakure, the local threat to the Land of Water, to sign an alliance under the castle.
"But the ninja clan requires the village to fulfill the promised materials or funds as soon as possible..." Hatake Sakumo picked up the tea cup again and took a sip: "It's just that the village's financial situation has not been very good..."
"Sakumo-kun, as the Jonin squad leader, have you ever reviewed the village's financial statements..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu played with the teacup casually, "Do you know how much the daimyo's allocation and the village's mission commission are, and where they are used?"
"I never understood..." Hatake Sakumo was a little stunned when he heard this, "Could it be... Tokumitsu-kun, do you know the inside story?"
"I don't know either. The village's financial expenditure is not announced to the public." Uchiha Tokumitsu put down the tea cup in his hand, looked directly at Hatake Sakumo and said: "Then why do you think the village's funds are insufficient? Is it just based on the Hokage? Is that what those buggers in the building just said with their white teeth?"
Hatake Sakumo was even more surprised, and at the same time he felt that he had opened the door to a new world.
"You mean..."
Hatake Sakumo had some ideas, but was not sure.
"As the representative of the collective will of the Jounin of Konoha, the Jonin Class should have the right to know and review the village's financial situation."
Uchiha Tokimitsu said seriously: "Otherwise, we don't know whether the village's development funds are used reasonably. How can we determine whether the village's funds are really tight?"
Hatake Sakumo also fell silent.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was not in a hurry, and after slowly pouring himself a cup of tea, he refilled it for Hatake Sakumo.
What he wants to do is to let Hatake Sakumo, a public-minded and righteous leader, constantly restrict the power of the Hokage Building in the name of the Jonin Class.
Moreover, Hatake Sakumo came to all this on his own initiative, and Uchiha Tokumitsu simply gave his opinion.
I don’t even have to use the words ‘interests related, hidden’, it’s so comfortable~
Uchiha Tokko took another sip of tea happily.
No matter where in the world, financial power is very important.
Even in this ninja world where productivity is off track and the economic situation is very abnormal.
The Hokage's power comes first from his own strength, second from the legitimacy of the Hokage's position, and thirdly from his control of the village's financial and personnel rights.
What Uchiha Tokumitsu needs to do is to use various means to weaken the power of Hokage while seeking excessive benefits for the Uchiha clan.
"If the village's funds can pay the Ninja clan's IOU, then how should the Ninja clan's bond issue be resolved?"
Hatake Sakumo thought for a while and finally connected the Ninja Village's finances with the Ninja Clan's bonds.
"The payment of the village's IOUs is the village's problem, and the Ninja clan's bonds are the Ninja clan's problem. The two cannot be confused." Uchiha Tokumitsu said calmly: "Public rights and clan rights still need to be separated."
"That's true..."
Hatake Sakumo sighed sadly.
"People's ambitions can expand infinitely. If they don't suffer some losses, the ninja clan will never have a long memory."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said sanctimoniously: "The Inuzuka clan dares to issue bonds with an amount five times more than Ikujo. You can see how crazy the Ninja clan is when it comes to interests!"
"Then if bonds are banned..."
Hatake Sakumo's first reaction was to kill this kind of thing from now on.
"The village has no right to interfere with the source of funds of the Ninja clan." Uchiha Tokumitsu said quickly: "Besides, even if bonds are banned, they can still change their names and continue to sell similar bills privately, which is even more harmful. big!"
"So, how should we resolve the risk of Ninja bonds this time?"
Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to ask for advice.
"The village's IOU will be redeemed in advance, and the Ninja clan's bonds will be repurchased in advance."
Uchiha Tokumitsu once again repeated the solution he gave to the Inuzuka clan yesterday: "And the Uchiha clan can guarantee some ninjas with good credit and provide advance repurchase services."
"Of course, you still need to pay a small service fee to advance funds."
Uchiha Tokko made a 'little bit' gesture.
"In this way, the urgent need of the Ninja clan can be alleviated..."
Hatake Sakumo made an estimate in his mind and nodded slowly.
"Of course it can only be alleviated. The Ninja clan's affairs must be resolved by themselves. The village should not interfere, let alone interfere. Otherwise, the civilian ninjas in the village will have very different opinions."
Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his head and pretended to be tea, trying to hide his almost uncontrollable smile.
"That's true..."
Hatake Sakumo thought so.
“But how should bonds in the future avoid making the same mistakes?”
Hatake Sakumo asked humbly.
"The Uchiha clan can evaluate the Ninja clan bonds with good credit and issue and sell them on their behalf based on their fair value. If there is a risk, the Uchiha clan will promise to repurchase them at all costs; in this way, we can avoid the occurrence of excessive issuance again. It’s a spam issue.”
Uchiha Tokumitsu also made suggestions very seriously: "Of course, other ninjas can also endorse other people's bonds, as long as everyone is willing to believe in his credibility."
However, credibility is a very elusive thing, far less useful than the support of the police department and family force controlled by the Uchiha clan.
But in order to conceal his true purpose, Uchiha Tokko still had to use words to cover up against his will.
"Thank you Tokuguang-kun for your support!"
Hatake Sakumo said sincerely: "This matter has really embarrassed you..."
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's for the new Konoha in our hearts, isn't it?"
Uchiha Tokko smiled broadly.
Hatake Sakumo nodded seriously.
After Hatake Sakumo left, Uchiha Tokumitsu began to laugh wildly.
What a win!
This time I really won!
By then, if all goes well, the Jonin class controlled by Hatake Sakumo will have the authority to review Konoha's finances, and the Uchiha Foundation he formed will monopolize the evaluation rights of Konoha's bonds and other financial derivatives. and distribution rights... This picture is so beautiful!
Moreover, as the most powerful family in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan also has the largest number of jounin. It is just in order to cooperate with Hatake Sakumo that they did not take the initiative to speak out; if someone else takes over as the jounin squad leader in the future, If he wants to use the authority of the jounin class to harm the Uchiha clan, Tokumitsu Uchiha can openly mobilize the Uchiha jonins to let him understand what the right to speak is called a jounin.
“The Federal Reserve’s road to hegemony starts today!”
Uchiha Tokko happily poured himself another cup of tea.
