21 The Uchiha Clan's Path to Wealth

The Uchiha clan is unwilling to relocate for several reasons. Aside from feeling abandoned and distant from Konoha, there's also the hassle and expense of moving their territory.

The destruction caused by the Nine-Tails incident only affected the headquarters of the Konoha police force, leaving the Uchiha territory untouched. Yet, inexplicably, they were forced to relocate. Naturally, the clan members were unhappy about it.

After all, building houses and moving require money, and the Uchiha clan wasn't particularly wealthy. Sakura's need to take out a loan to buy a house after marrying Sasuke is evidence of that.

Originally, Toki, before transmigrating, thought that Sasuke, after the Uchiha massacre, had lost all the clan's inheritance, hence why he lived in a pitiful bachelor apartment. However, upon transmigration, Toki learned the truth.

It's true that the Fourth Hokage's inheritance was embezzled, but Sasuke's inheritance was not to that extent. The courtyard where Fugaku Uchiha resided was a temporary residence for the clan head. Once that was taken away, the entire family had to move out. Plus, as a member of the Konoha police force, he couldn't take on missions, so he was lucky to afford a bachelor apartment with his meager salary.

When Toki assumed the position of clan head and audited the Uchiha clan's finances, he nearly lost his temper. He almost suspected that the clan revolted because they were too poor. So, after gaining the first month's reputation for the family, Toki promptly activated this new system building: the Ninja Tool Research Center.

After activation, Toki could obtain ninja tools of different strengths based on his reputation.

[Ninja Tool Research Center: You can purchase manufacturing techniques with reputation points. Ninja tool manufacturing inside the building guarantees a 100% success rate.]

Toki wasn't interested in conventional ninja tools like shuriken or kunai, although they did make money. However, buying materials, forging, and transportation all required a lot of time and manpower. Moreover, existing sales channels were dominated by established merchants, making it difficult to compete.

So, Toki set his sights on scientific ninja tools, which were supposed to appear in Boruto. For just 100 reputation points, he could obtain the manufacturing technique for a C-rank scientific ninja scroll. With 1000 reputation points, he could get the manufacturing technique for gloves.

When Toki saw Naruto's nonchalant attitude towards scientific ninja techniques in Boruto, he was dumbfounded. Such strategic warfare techniques were dismissed as tricks. It seemed that the Hokage was toxic. Anyone with a bit of military knowledge would know how powerful these techniques, which required a high-ranking ninja to use, were.

But Naruto actually banned them from the Chunin Exams… It's like banning the use of summoning scrolls in the Chunin Exams…

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had obtained such techniques, he would have equipped his village's low-ranking ninja with them to deter their so-called 'allies'.

Now, Toki was overjoyed to see scientific ninja tools available at the research center. He knew how powerful these techniques were during peacetime after the Third Shinobi World War. Small ninja villages, merchants, and daimyos who had been at war for years would definitely pay a fortune for these cutting-edge ninja tools.

But this information naturally couldn't be known to the old farts in Konoha.

So, Toki had the Uchiha clan defend the border. Not only to hone their skills but also to sell these scientific ninja tools to the warring ninja villages while the Uchiha clan was stationed there.

Uchiha Tetsuka's eyes gleamed as he watched clan members sealing the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique into scrolls.

Toki didn't use reputation to buy the Uchiha clan's signature technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. Instead, he bought the Sarutobi clan's Fire Release: Fireball Technique.

A B-rank mission reward for a middle ninja was 80,000 to 200,000 ryo, which was both dangerous and had a long duration. However, a Uchiha middle ninja could seal 20 scrolls of C-rank ninjutsu a day. Assuming each scroll was sold for 10,000 ryo, a middle ninja could earn 200,000 ryo a day!

If all Uchiha middle ninjas were to manufacture scrolls here, the Uchiha clan could earn a terrifying 60 million ryo in a single day.

This was enough to fund 60 of the lowest-level S-rank missions!

Uchiha Tetsuka swallowed hard, his heart filled with excitement. Just a rough estimate already filled him with ecstasy.

But he also knew that these items were consumables and couldn't be sold out in a day. However, being able to make hundreds of thousands of ryo in net profit per day was enough to make one ecstatic.

Uchiha Tetsuka urged eagerly,

"Lord Toki, why wait? Let's head to the front lines now. I heard that the Grass Village and the Valley Village are currently at war. Let's quickly sell our goods to them! "

Toki waved his hand, his face showing a mischievous smile.

"No need to rush. The first ceremony for the new Hokage and the Konoha Village Chief hasn't even been held yet. The troops defending the border haven't been withdrawn either. Once everything in the village is settled, it'll be time to request the military budget from the village chief. "

"That's where the real money is! "
