The World Government was forced to purchase weapons, and the funds were deducted from the Marine's budget, with the Marine also responsible for transportation.
Conveniently, the production site was in the New World, and the Marine was currently carrying out a sweep operation in the New World, consuming a large amount of weapons, which was much faster than producing them in the Four Seas as before.
However, this matter made Sakazuki feel extremely stifled; it was bowing down to criminals.
But now, dealing with the chaotic pirates in the New World was more important; the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates had not yet been completely eliminated, and there hadn't been any major movements from the Uchiha side. Compared to the pirates currently causing trouble at sea, the Uchiha were a force that could be temporarily ignored.
Uchiha Tamahiko didn't concern himself with so many things. The weapons business was handed over to Doflamingo. Doflamingo hadn't expected his weapons to actually sell to the World Government, which truly left him somewhat stunned.
"Although they are sold to the Marine, the quality must be guaranteed. We are not swindlers," Uchiha Tamahiko instructed Doflamingo.
Doflamingo nodded. Now, he had lost many channels, and the main problem was insufficient iron ore, making it impossible to produce more. He barely managed one-fifth of his usual sales volume.
After observing the current situation in Dressrosa, Uchiha Tamahiko prepared to return to the Ninja World to gather all the Tailed Beasts and directly upgrade to Six Paths Level.
With an Admiral-level combatant, Kuzan, here, along with Doflamingo and Shisui, Uchiha Tamahiko planned to send Itachi over as well to stabilize the situation and ensure the territory was secure.
Before leaving, he also handed over control of Germa to Doflamingo. Privately, there still needed to be a faction, and Doflamingo was very happy about this, as he was very skilled at schemes and the like.
Now that he was doing business openly, he felt as if he didn't have much use.
Kuzan was there to seize territory outside, and Dressrosa didn't need his management. Besides selling some weapons, he had nothing to do. Now with Germa, he felt he was somewhat valued.
"I'm leaving this to you two. I'll probably need more than a month. I'll check in every few days. If you encounter an irresistible strong enemy, run into the sea and wait for me to return," Uchiha Tamahiko instructed Shisui and Itachi.
There was nothing else to do now. The two of them were here mainly to guard the place. Unless a Four Emperors suddenly attacked, catching them off guard, in most cases, two Mangekyo would be enough to resolve it.
"Yes, Clan Head!"
Neither of them had any objections.
This was Konoha's stronghold in Another World, so they naturally had to protect it well.
Finally, he instructed Might Guy that after he returned, he would take him to find suitable targets for combat.
Then he returned directly to the Ninja World, preparing to carry out the Tailed Beast capture plan.
Upon returning to Konoha, Uchiha Tamahiko observed Konoha's current situation and felt it was quite stable. Konoha's residents had also grown accustomed to the current rules and found it much better than before, completely devoid of that sense of urgency.
The same was true for ordinary Ninja. Except for those who joined the combat units, other Ninja were assigned to production teams to engage in various factory productions, achieving Konoha's self-sufficiency.
Other Ninja Villages in the Ninja World also tried their best to gather intelligence during this period, but upon discovering Konoha's current state, the informed Ninja Villages felt somewhat envious.
Why did they have to be dogs, working for those noble Daimyo, when they could clearly live very well themselves!
"These are the specific details. Everything has basically developed according to what you said, and we haven't encountered any major problems yet."
Fugaku still felt a great sense of accomplishment, looking at the numbers on the report, each one containing the sweat of his efforts.
"Not bad. Have you encountered any insurmountable difficulties?" Uchiha Tamahiko nodded, acknowledging Fugaku's efforts.
He was asking if any families were being short-sighted, wanting to provoke trouble, in which case he would be the bad guy and help Fugaku resolve it.
"The current situation for ordinary villagers is better than the previous Konoha Ninja Village. Some families have also discovered opportunities; they have started creating their own factories for trade, and at the same time, they have formulated measures such as mine development and daily infrastructure upgrades."
"Once everyone has a basic framework, the plan to incorporate the Land of Fire can proceed."
"However, the only trouble we've encountered is within the clan."
Fugaku spoke about the upcoming plans, which were some ordinary troubles, but what gave him the biggest headache was the Uchiha Clan.
"What's wrong?" Uchiha Tamahiko asked, puzzled.
He had put on a show in the Ninja World last time; as long as those Kage weren't fools, they would know not to attack Konoha now.
"Many people in the clan have started to slack off, beginning to enjoy themselves and abandoning their struggles."
"At the same time, they believe the Uchiha are royalty, superior to others, and oppress commoners and some families. Although I have warned them, many still act recklessly."
"Some even believe that ordinary people should support them, that they shouldn't continue to work, and should now enjoy themselves."
Fugaku sighed, finally bringing up the matter.
He actually wanted to resolve it, but they were his clansmen, and some were old veterans, so he couldn't be ruthless.
Moreover, an internal conflict within the Uchiha would cause a significant commotion and be ridiculed by others. Furthermore, he was not the Clan Head now, and even when he was the Clan Head, he couldn't be tough on this faction.
"Uchiha Celestial Dragons, is that what you mean?" Uchiha Tamahiko said this descriptive term with a calm expression.
No family would be entirely composed of good people; Uchiha Tamahiko was well aware of this, but he hadn't expected that some members of the Uchiha Clan would slack off and give up so quickly.
"Yes."
Fugaku was naturally very familiar with the information about Celestial Dragons.
Hearing this description, he felt it was particularly fitting; these clansmen indeed wanted to be Celestial Dragons.
"This afternoon, gather all clansmen at the Ancestral Shrine for a meeting."
"I will handle this matter; you can proceed with your work without worry," Uchiha Tamahiko told Fugaku.
Fugaku nodded with a determined expression; such matters had to be resolved sooner or later.
How to deal with such matters, Uchiha Tamahiko's decision was best, after all, he was the most important person in restoring the Uchiha's glory.
The next step for the clan could only be decided by Uchiha Tamahiko.
In the afternoon, all Uchiha in Konoha gathered at the Ancestral Shrine.
The clansmen all trusted Uchiha Tamahiko deeply, because he was the one who led the Uchiha to this point today.
Even those who wanted to be Celestial Dragons would not deny that all of this was due to Uchiha Tamahiko's efforts.
Everyone attending, except for children under seven, regardless of gender or age, had to be present.
They stood densely packed in front of the Ancestral Shrine.
Such a commotion naturally did not escape the notice of the First and Second Hokage. They looked at the large Uchiha population, and envy appeared on their faces.
The Senju Clan only had Tsunade left as a sole descendant, which truly made them sad.
