On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

Chapter 88 Yaoya and Uchiha

"This is the pea and corn mill, the bigger one next to it is the oil mill, the silk-drawing factory across the river, and there's a porcelain kiln on the hill over there."

Kyojuro put Yoya in his pocket and nimbly climbed up the tallest tree in the forest, and introduced the family's business from a high vantage point.

The factory was crowded and bustling. It was obvious that although the workers were very busy, they were full of joy and energy.

"The Uchiha is very powerful."

Looking at the orderly work process in the workshop, Ubuyashiki Yoya was filled with admiration.

A huge family with extremely high military power, not only is it not feared by ordinary people around them, but instead it has become the hidden leaders of this land.

The Uchiha clan leader is a man of great wisdom.

Kyojuro nodded and sat on the branch.

"At first, I was troubled about how to tell my uncle and master the uses of these plants without making any noise. But before I said anything, they did more than I expected, and even developed many things that I had never seen in the Taisho period."

The Uchiha were not good at creating something from nothing, but they were really good at taking a small thing and studying it to perfection.

"This is just a small part. The clan has opened shops in many cities and has a lot of income."

He never thought that ordinary food could be sold at such an astonishing price with the help of his family.

I'm talking about winter melon and tempura. After the same ingredients are divided into different grades, the prices can differ so much.

There is still a shortage of supply every day, and Sanwei’s tail is almost sending out sparks.

"After all, it's very expensive to support a large family."

For the Ubuyashiki clan, which also needs to support the Demon Slayer Corps and the Hidden Corps, how to run an industry has become a compulsory course for them. Yaoya has developed a sense of sympathy for these two generations of Uchiha clan leaders.

"Kyojuro, I remember there were potatoes in the dinner at the Senju family yesterday. Why don't you have a potato workshop?"

"The chef has tried it, and found that processed potatoes are not as delicious as fresh ones. They rot easily if sold directly, and are not convenient to store. Although they can fill your stomach, they still cannot replace the traditional staple food."

Wheat can be stored for three to five years, rice can be stored for three years, but potatoes can only be stored for three months, which cannot meet the needs of ordinary people who want to save food to get through difficult years.

Kyojuro shook his legs. He knew that potatoes had a high yield. If they could be promoted thoroughly, it would help everyone save a lot of staple food. His wish of ensuring that people on the entire continent would not go hungry might be half realized.

But now, the Uchiha still mainly use potato mines as a weapon to defend against black mud, and the potatoes that are shoveled out are only sold nearby, or simply given to the workers in the workshop as wages.

"In fact, the tribe is considering whether to continue these crude grain processing. The tribe's main income depends on the dividends of special fabrics, corn oil, walnut oil and white porcelain, as well as the turnover of high-end teahouses."

Yaoya imitated Kyojuro and pulled out two roots from the flowerpot and dangled them in the air.

"What do you think?"

Kyojuro looked at the people working hard in the workshop and said,

"I don't want my tribe to give up. After all, these are things that can fill our stomachs. If we don't buy and sell them, the surrounding farmers will also be affected, and the prices of related products in the market will definitely rise."

“If the workshop is really shut down, where will the workers in the workshop go?”

It was the Uchiha who made them leave the land and rely on the wages from the workshop to live, and now they are irresponsibly leaving... Kyojuro's conscience will not allow him to do this.

Seeing Kyojuro's kindness, Yoya patted Kyojuro's hand with a leaf.

"Then go ahead."

"But I can't think of a reason to convince them. I can't just rely on my family's protection and harm the interests of the entire family."

He wanted these ordinary people to have enough food to eat, but he also didn't want the Uchiha people, who had finally transformed themselves into businessmen and were living a better life, to lose the money that their clansmen had worked so hard to earn.

Yaoya blinked his eyes and suggested,

"If it's not for profit, then what about for fame?"

Based on the relationships between characters that Kyojuro had told him along the way, Ubuyashiki Yoya roughly deduced the Uchiha's current strategy in the Land of Fire.

The first is to rely on Tachibana Jie Zhenghe to establish a network of relationships in the central court to obtain the latest developments from the central government in a timely manner.

The second is to rely on grassroots officials in each town and city to firmly control the towns far away from the central government.

Three... Although Kyojuro didn't say it, Ubuyashiki Yoya dared to assert that the Uchiha people definitely had placed people around the future successor of the Fire Nation who was not yet an adult. They would not allow a person who had a rift with their own clan to ascend to the supreme position and then destroy most of the Uchiha territory with a single edict.

Based on the second point of management, if the grassroots want to gain the trust of the people, they need real results, so Yaoya mentioned reputation.

"Being able to prevent the local people from starving to death is already an achievement worthy of the mayor's boasting. Hidden beneath this achievement are the seeds, crops, and commodities bearing the Uchiha name."

"Perhaps in a few decades, the name of Uchiha will spread to every farmer's household, just like the Inari God."

"Inari God? Not bad! I happen to be a fox too! I can be his messenger!"

The nine-tailed Lama jumped onto the tree branch and poked the flower pot with its claws curiously. Yaoya was dizzy and was still thinking,

The nine-tailed fox in this world is actually a male.

Kyojuro promptly held down Kurama's agitated front paws, "Kurama, the messenger of the Inari god is a white fox, right?"

"No one has really seen the Inari God, so the color of his messenger is just random speculation. By the way, kid, Madara asked me to call you to dinner, and bring your friend back to show him."

Kurama lay on top of Kyojuro's head skillfully, completely ignoring how hot his thick fur would be in the summer.

"Your little owl has gone back to eat and sleep. After all, it is just an ordinary owl, so you should refrain from taking it out during the day."

……

"came back?"

"Uncle Madara, I'm back! This is Yoya."

After Uchiha Madara opened his Samsara Eye and scanned the street lamp flower from all angles, his expression softened a little, but still remained cold, "Hello."

Kurama jumped from Kyojuro's head to Uchiha Madara's legs, "Madara! This Yoya is extraordinary! When I went to find them just now, he said that he wanted to make the Uchiha into the messenger of the Inari God!"

"Oh? You are quite ambitious, not bad."

Uchiha Madara curled the corner of his mouth, leaned on the small table in front of him with one hand, and looked into Yaoya's eyes.

Kyojuro coughed dryly and tugged at Uchiha Madara's clothes, "Uncle Madara..."

Seeing his eldest nephew's eyes attacking with the same shining light as always, Uchiha Madara could no longer pretend. Anyway, he had passed the test of his father, Izuna and brother Koichi, and his Rinnegan could not detect any problems with this Yoya.

Just think of it as even ghosts liking Kyojuro.

"Let's go. Since he is Kyojuro's friend, we should treat him well."

"Inari God...hahaha, not bad, really not bad."

This guy named Yaozai is so crazy that he can compare himself with gods in human form. He likes it!

------

The next day, Kyojuro and Yoya lay under the eaves behind the house, each one looking at the sky in the same posture.

"No matter which world it is, the sky is always blue."

After a moment's silence, Yaoya controlled the flowerpot to roll a few times, rolled to Kyojuro's side, stretched out its leaves and gently placed them on Kyojuro's hand.

“You have a great time here.”

Having a trustworthy family, growing up surrounded by love, and not having to worry about being killed by evil spirits at night, this was the life that everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps hoped for.

"Yeah, I'm really happy."

Thinking of his family members in this life, who have different personalities but are all very cute, Kyojuro smiled brightly.

"That's good."

"…Can I ask how everyone else is doing?"

Are Ganlu Temple and Obanai together?

Have the Fuzugawa brothers reconciled?

Did Tokito get his memory back?

Did Kamado successfully turn back into a human?

He still had a lot to ask.

Yaoya thought about the busy lives of the few people who had returned to the kingdom of the dead in hell and smiled slightly.

"Why not ask them yourself?"

"Can they all come?"
