Chapter 406 - 91

Chapter 91: Painting a Big PictureTsunade gave him a new name. From then on, Tenzo became Yamato. Although Naruto was somewhat resistant, he still used Kotoamatsukamion him.After all, Yamato had lived in darkness since childhood, and it was the Third Hokage and Kakashi who had saved him. Naruto was worried that he might leak his plans to the Third Hokage, so he had no choice but to do this.Afterward, Naruto used the Flying Thunder God to take him to Huayin Village. Looking at the devastation before his eyes, Yamato deeply felt the heavy responsibility ahead. To show how much he valued him, Naruto did not leave immediately this time; instead, he personally took him to find Kakuzu.Upon hearing Naruto introduce the person before him as Yamato, Kakuzu excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. Although this sudden warmth was a bit strange, it was something Yamato had never experienced before.For a moment, Yamato actually began to enjoy this feeling. Kakuzu took the opportunity to lead him outside, shouting loudly and gathering all the few dozen people in the Village.He shouted to everyone, "Everyone, pay attention! The person next to me is an Elite Jonin specially recruited by our Huayin Village's leader. His name is Yamato, and he is here to help everyone solve their housing problems.""He is a very powerful Wood Release Ninja. From today on, everyone will no longer need to live in thatched huts. Yamato will give each person a spacious and bright wooden house.""Moreover, don't think these wooden houses are simple. The wooden houses Yamato builds are even sturdier than those made of concrete. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they even have the effect of repelling snakes, insects, rats, and ants.""If you have any relatives or friends, you can tell them that if they come to our Village, they will be given a 20-square-meter small house for free.""If they want something larger, they will need to pay out of their own pockets. But rest assured, the price will definitely be much cheaper than outside. Here, you won't lose out, you won't get scammed, and we are absolutely honest and fair!""Alright, I won't ramble on. Let's have Yamato say a few words to everyone!"The villagers broke into enthusiastic applause, looking at Yamato with immense respect and gratitude. This made Yamato even more intoxicated by the feeling, and for a moment, he didn't even hear what Kakuzu was saying.It wasn't until the applause rang out that he came back to his senses. He hadn't expected this guy Kakuzu to make him speak, which put him in a difficult spot.Yamato turned to look at Naruto, staring at him with a pleading gaze. Naruto immediately understood his meaning. He stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Yamato is not very good with words, so I will speak on his behalf.""Yamato is a very powerful Ninja, but in my opinion, if his Ninjutsu were used for killing, it would be a complete waste of potential.""Because his techniques have an extremely important role for the Ninja World. At the same time, Yamato has come to help our Village without asking for any reward. He is a selfless person, a noble person, a pure person, and a person who has detached himself from base interests.""Therefore, everyone here should cherish, take care of, and love him as if he were your own family. Only in this way can Yamato better and more willingly serve everyone and the Village."Naruto's speech won enthusiastic applause once again. At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku walked up with his wife and daughter-in-law. He shook hands with Yamato and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Hello, I am the head of the Uchiha Clan, my name is Uchiha Fugaku, and this is my wife and daughter-in-law.""The construction of our clan grounds will trouble you in the future. I wonder if you have time tonight? I'll have my wife cook a couple of dishes, and how about we go to my place for a drink?"It must be said that even the dignified head of the Uchiha Clan had to bow down before reality, but in fact, it was only natural for Fugaku to do so.After all, they were now the number one clan in the Village, not only occupying a large area of land but also bearing the responsibility of defending half of the maritime territory.It wasn't just the construction and structure of the houses within his clan's territory; some maritime defense facilities also needed to be prioritized. After all, the Hyuga Clan already had an observation tower, while they had nothing yet. The proud Uchiha Clan could not stand being left behind.Seeing that everyone was getting along well, Naruto left with peace of mind. He believed that Kakuzu would definitely be able to maximize the value of Yamato, this house-building machine.At this moment, Naruto felt that his decision to recruit Kakuzu was truly correct. Otherwise, he would have to do all these things himself, and where would he find the time to train?At the same time, he also felt gratified by his high ability to "paint a big picture." The reason Kakuzuwas working so hard for him, besides the reason of Kotoamatsukami, was also due to the future blueprint Naruto had planned for him.Naruto had told Kakuzu about almost every capitalist money-making method he could recall, and promised him that no matter how much the Village grew in the future, even after the Ninja World was unified, he would still be his chief financial officer.After receiving Naruto's promise, Kakuzu was so moved that he wanted to bow to Naruto as his foster father, but fortunately, he finally gave up after Naruto's persuasion.This action of his made Naruto feel a bit fearful. He suspected that the "big picture" he had painted for Kakuzu might have been a bit too big. After all, he only said he would let him manage the country's finances, not that he could spend it at will. Why was he so excited?Did he not understand his words correctly? Did he misunderstand? Naruto wanted to explain it to him, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.If he really misunderstood his meaning, then let this beautiful misunderstanding continue! After all, at this stage, it wouldn't do any harm.Moreover, Naruto really couldn't bear to interrupt Kakuzu's enthusiasm for work. Look at him now, busy running around tirelessly; his appearance of enjoying the work was actually quite charming.The key was that Kakuzu's love for money seemed to be purely about liking to save it; he didn't have any hobbies that required spending money. Looking back over such a long time, he really didn't seem to have the habit of spending money lavishly.And so, Naruto became the hands-off manager again. But when he returned home, another matter came up. After seeing him, Neji got straight to the point and stated that he also wanted to learn Sage Mode.It turned out that ever since the sparring session between the three of them yesterday, Neji had been brooding over the powerful, mysterious power that Sasuke and Naruto possessed. After a day of mental struggle, he decided to have a showdown with Naruto; no matter what, he wanted to learn it.However, Naruto could not make the decision on this matter. Although Sage Katsuyu had taught him and even turned Xiaobao into his summoning creature, Naruto felt that their relationship had not yet reached the point where he could freely bring people to Shikkotsu Forest to learn Sage Mode.He had no choice but to say to Neji, "I really can't help with this. You should go find Hokage-sama! Only she can help you.""By the way, when you talk to her, bring Robin and Shizune along as well to see if the two of them can learn it too."
