Naruto: I was reborn as Uchiha Sasuke

Chapter 9: Towards the Land of Fire

When Uchiha Sasuke finally arrived at Kyoto, the capital of the Land of Fire, he was so shocked by the unimaginable prosperity that he couldn't close his eyes for a long time. He looked around like he was under a spell, and his steps slowed down involuntarily, as if he was afraid of missing any breathtaking scenery. His heart was filled with indescribable shock and amazement. In comparison, although Konoha Village was also very lively on weekdays, the prosperity of the capital of the Land of Fire was obviously more than one level higher. The busy and bustling scene made him feel both novel and shocked.

During the journey, through communication with his fellow travelers, Sasuke was surprised to learn that corruption was so common here. This discovery made him frown and fall into deep thought. He thought to himself: Even a great country like the Land of Fire is so corrupt, so how can Konoha Village, as a ninja village, stay out of this dirty trend and stay untainted?

Judging from the Wood Release experiment conducted by the Root, despite the Third Hokage's explicit prohibition, the experiment is still being carried out in secret, which undoubtedly shows that there must be complicated and entangled financial problems. In addition, it is very likely that there are corruptions in the release of tasks and commissions. For example, someone secretly increased the commission ratio and recommended those easy-to-earn tasks to their relatives and friends first. Thinking of this, Sasuke folded his hands in front of his chest, his eyes revealing deep worries and concerns about the future.

At the same time, the existence of the Fire Temple also implies that the Fire Country Daimyo does not have unreserved trust in Konoha. After all, the disbandment of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas means that the Fire Country Daimyo has returned empty-handed in the power struggle with Konoha. Therefore, if the powerful power of the upper echelons of the Fire Country can be used to establish a new Konoha, it will undoubtedly become an extremely attractive alternative.

In this way, even if Konoha encounters an unpredictable crisis, it can ensure that the Land of Fire always has its own ninja village. Therefore, this plan is worth thinking about in depth, and can even be used as a life-saving straw at a critical moment. Sasuke walked slowly while racking his brains, his brain running like a high-speed machine.

During the month he stayed in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Sasuke spent money like water without restraint. He enjoyed all kinds of mouth-watering food and wonderful entertainment activities in this strange and charming country. When tasting food, he devoured it like a whirlwind, and his satisfied expression seemed as if all the troubles in the world had disappeared; when enjoying entertainment, he cheered and jumped for joy, as excited as an innocent child, completely immersed in the ocean of joy. During this happy time, he also made some friends from noble families, such as Oda Nobutada, Toyotomi Hidetsugu, etc. When these young people get together, they always like to talk about some grand topics that seem out of reach but full of ambition, such as how to govern the country, how to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, etc. Although it sounds a bit unrealistic and like a fool's dream, everyone's eyes are shining with infinite longing and eager anticipation for the future.

However, as an ambitious young man, Uchiha Sasuke was not satisfied with just talking about those unrealistic ideals. Before returning to Konoha, he told these new friends about his intention to open a store in the Land of Fire to make huge profits, and he hoped that this would make the elders at home look at him differently. He also used his store in Konoha Village as an example, and introduced an unprecedented new business model in detail, emphasizing passionately that this model would have the potential to completely subvert the business landscape of the entire world. Finally, he enthusiastically and expectantly invited them to visit Konoha Village in person for a field trip to experience the unique local conditions and business potential there.

Oda Nobutada and others showed a certain degree of interest in Uchiha Sasuke's passionate proposal, and promised to further discuss cooperation with him in Konoha Village. But among this group of people, a man named Qing attracted Uchiha Sasuke's special attention. Because in the unique cultural background of Japan, people usually have a complete name, but this person only has a simple name.

Uchiha Sasuke secretly guessed that he might be an unknown illegitimate child of a powerful noble family, or a mysterious person with a very special identity. Despite this, Uchiha Sasuke decided to keep in close contact with them without hesitation, after all, the families behind them each had an influence that could not be underestimated in the Land of Fire.

Uchiha Sasuke knew the importance and potential value of making friends with these people. He knew that although these people seemed cynical and unreliable on the surface, the huge family power behind them might be able to become a powerful helper in his future at a critical moment. Therefore, Uchiha Sasuke decisively decided to start from the economic level, gradually establish a good and stable alliance relationship with them, and carefully pave the way for his unknown future.

A week before the start of the Ninja School, Uchiha Sasuke returned to Konoha Village in advance and carefully prepared a grand banquet. With a smile on his face, he warmly welcomed every distinguished guest, raised his glass elegantly to express his sincere welcome and gratitude to everyone, and said earnestly: "If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to visit Konoha." Oda Nobutada, Toyotomi Hidetsugu, and Kaoru all gave positive responses, but Uchiha Sasuke knew that the responses of adults were often just politeness on the scene, and he could not have too high expectations. But it didn't matter, anyway, he still had more than four years of ample time, and even at the shortest, there were six to eight months, which was enough for him to patiently and step by step win over the hearts of the people and achieve his grand goal.

During the month of touring the capital of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Sasuke did not relax his strict training of his abilities. He would practice physical skills every night, not caring that his clothes were soaked with sweat. During the day, he would use the free time in the morning to continue practicing hard, using both hands and feet, and his movements were as agile as the wind. In the afternoon, he would sit quietly at the table, concentrating and reading books related to the Land of Fire, eagerly absorbing knowledge to increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons.
