71 Chapter 71: Interview (1)

Although the headline of this news is quite dull, Yuya discovered that there's a hot topic behind it! She read the entire news from beginning to end with great interest, her mind racing.

This news is about a Chūnin who unexpectedly died on a mission a few years ago, leaving behind a mother and a daughter. Because their recent living conditions aren't very good, Chūnin's former teammates have been helping out.

In fact, this news may seem very common to others, after all, there are many families like this in Konoha. Even in times of peace, the likelihood of getting a bento for a task is still very high, after all, being a ninja is a high-risk occupation. "Get the highest wages and do the most dangerous work" refers to ninjas.

During a mission, if someone dies, other ninja will choose to help their family out of morality or kindness.

In Konoha, this situation is not uncommon, just like with Might Guy, it is logical that as an Elite Jōnin, he should have more savings than Anko. The reality is the opposite, largely because Guy uses his earnings to help others.

Of course, Guy will spend a lot of money to help others. Besides his willingness to help others, the most important thing is that he is a bachelor. He feeds his entire family well and has no other hobbies besides exercising.

"Minister Saito, how much does this type of news cost per month?" Yuya suddenly took out the seventh draft and handed it to Saito, who was waiting by her side.

Saito took the manuscript, took a look, and got a general idea. He didn't know exactly what his boss was referring to, so he thought before speaking: "President, this type of news is actually quite common. Last month, a total of four articles. But yesterday, you mentioned rectifying the design, so you plan to report on such an article this month. Is there something that needs to be rectified in this manuscript?"

Yuya nodded, then took the manuscript from Saito, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Haven't you thought about uncovering the story behind the news?"

"What is the story behind it?" Saito looked at Yuya with a perplexed expression. Isn't it just a common news about doing good deeds?

"It seems like I need to give you some training!"

Yuya interrupted Saito's words and clapped with the rolled-up manuscript, speechless for a moment. Perhaps they don't know what "sublimation theme" is, so there's hardly any "material" involved in the news. After all, news about this theme has been reported many times, and it remains the same until now. It is estimated that the thinking has solidified.

With a furrowed brow, Yuya is thinking about finding a time to hold a private meeting with the reporters in the department and teach them how to "draft" a news article.

The reporters' department is the main force of the Konoha Newspaper. If they don't know how to write a news article, even if Yuya has revamped the design of "Konoha Daily," the manuscript quality won't be high and the sales volume of this newspaper will reach a small amount and then stop rising like before, maintaining a baseline level.

In this news, Yuya believes it is necessary to delve deeper because the status of ninjas in the five major countries is not low, and their incomes are also high.

In Konoha Village, the monthly income of an ordinary resident is around 30,000 taels. Of course, if you have special skills or have undergone physical strength training, your income will increase.

The income of a ninja, even a Genin, is conservatively estimated to be over 100,000 taels per month, let alone a Chūnin! Logically speaking, the money saved by a Chūnin for a few years is enough for a mother and daughter to live on. It has been a long time. If the situation is good, you can live without work for the rest of your life.

Why is it that you are not as well off as the residents of Common, and even reduced to the point where you need to rely on others for help? Is it because the mother and daughter spend too much, or did the deceased Chūnin not leave behind most of the property? If it's the former, then the mother and daughter have to blame themselves, but if it's the latter, then it's worth investigating where the Chūnin's money went... Is this an isolated case or common?

Furthermore, Yuya also discovered a very interesting phenomenon and looked back at the newspaper. Although it was just a draft, it was the second draft after all, and there were photos in it. In that photo, there's actually a girl who looks familiar, with a gentle smile and princess-like long hair.

Isn't this the girl who fought Ino and Sakura at the campus festival?

Yuya is becoming more and more interested in this news.

"Minister Saito, I'm going to dig up this news again, please write me the address and at the same time get me a reporter outfit." Yuya pointed to the manuscript in her hand and ordered.

"Oh my God!" Saito immediately took a piece of paper from the table, wrote an address in a hurry, handed it to Yuya, and then said with a bit of concern, "President, is it really okay to go alone? Don't you need an assistant?"

"Bang bang bang!"

There were three knocks on the door, which interrupted Saito's words, and then Uzuki Siyan pushed the door open. When she saw Yuya, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly said, "President."

Indeed, Uzuki Siyan was supposed to come to work tomorrow, but after getting permission, she thought about it and decided to come today. After all, she belongs to ANBU and doesn't have too many holidays. It's a matter of finding out who the author of "Konoha Love Story" and "Leon: The Professional" is as soon as possible.

"Ah, look, my assistant is here!" Yuya lifted her head with a smile and told Siyan, "You'll accompany me to visit a family later, I need your help."

Siyan nodded and said, "Yes!"

Saito prepared a set of cameras for Yuya and Siyan, two press cards from the Konoha newspaper, took two notebooks and two pens on the way, and the two set off.

Because the camera was too bulky, Siyan, as the secretary, took on the great responsibility of carrying the equipment. Following the directions from the note, the two arrived at the residential area east of the village.

Yuya looked towards the house in front of her, and the word "Matsumoto" was written on the door. This is an ordinary house, though not as big as the prominent families in the Konoha village, it should be at an average level in the village.

"Madam President, shall I knock on the door?" Siyan propped her camera against the wall, turned her head, and asked Yuya.

Yuya nodded, indicating for her to knock on the door.

Siyan took two steps forward and then went to knock on the door. After a while, a woman in her thirties opened the door and said with a tired face, "Who is it?"

Presenting the Konoha Newspaper press card, Siyan said, "Mrs. Matsumoto, we are reporters from the Konoha Newspaper. Can I take some of your time for an interview?"
