Chapter 50: Unanimous Approval!
Uchiha Nan spoke at length for twenty minutes, not even realizing how long he had been talking.
"Therefore, for the development of Konoha, we must tighten our belts."
As soon as Uchiha Nan finished his st sentence, everyone in the room perked up. All the previous talk had been filler, a prelude to the main event, and now they were getting to the point.
"Each cn has sacrificed many members for Konoha, and the compensation for their families must be paid immediately, without dey."
"However, for the development of Konoha, I think we can postpone the other debts we owe you."
Uchiha Nan's words caused the expressions of the cn leaders present to change.
Was he going to continue to dey payments?
This was a challenge to the interests of all the ninja cns in Konoha!
"Rest assured, Konoha will repay every debt owed to you, without missing a single ryo."
"However, we cannot pay it all at once. I have a proposal: we can pay in installments."
"We'll pay off three-tenths immediately, and the remaining seven-tenths will be paid off over five to ten years, depending on the situation. Interest will be paid at the bank's loan interest rate."
"What do you think?"
The ninja cns cursed inwardly.
What did they think?
Of course, they didn't think it was good!
Everyone had been living in poverty for so long, and now that the money had arrived, they were being told to wait even longer. Did he think they were air?
"As the head of the Uchiha cn, I am the first to agree to this proposal."
Uchiha Nan symbolically raised his hand and then scanned the crowd.
Hmm, everyone was looking at him with displeasure, but that wasn't a problem.
Uchiha Nan felt he could handle it. His own strength was there, and he didn't think anyone would be foolish enough to directly oppose him.
"Cn Head Hyuga, make a statement!"
Uchiha Nan smiled at Hiashi Hyuga, giving him a look. He was his ally, shouldn't he stand up for him at this time?
"Ah, this..."
Hiashi Hyuga wanted to cry. He really wanted to disagree, but Uchiha Nan's meaning was clear.
If he was an ally, he had to support him.
Hiashi Hyuga could imagine what life would be like for the Hyuga cn in the future if he stabbed him in the back at this crucial moment. They would definitely be targeted.
All eyes were on Hiashi Hyuga, hoping he would stand up and say the three words "I disagree!"
However, Uchiha Nan knew the Hyuga cn's character. They would never be the first to stick their necks out.
If they had that kind of courage, they wouldn't have pushed out the cn head's younger brother to take the bme and appease the Hidden Cloud vilge's anger.
What Uchiha Nan found most shameful was that it was all in self-defense.
"I agree!"
Hiashi Hyuga reluctantly said the two words, feeling like all his strength had been drained.
"Good!"
"Noble and upright!"
"Let's give Cn Head Hyuga a round of appuse!"
Uchiha Nan took the lead in cpping, and the other cn heads, looking like they had swallowed flies, could only follow suit.
The leader was cpping, did they want to keep their hands down and lose their jobs?
One down!
Uchiha Nan turned his eyes to Tobirama Senju.
"Cn Head Senju, the Senju cn and the Uchiha cn jointly founded Konoha, so they naturally understand Konoha's difficulties best. This is the time to embody the Will of Fire."
"I believe Tobirama Senju, as the pilr of the cn, the Senju cn..."
Uchiha Nan spoke several paragraphs in one breath, showering Tobirama Senju and the Senju cn with praise.
"So, Cn Head Senju, what is your opinion?"
Tobirama Senju was numb. Uchiha Nan had blocked all his escape routes. With all these praises, he was almost taller than everyone else. Did he have a chance to disagree?
He couldn't say it. The Senju cn had always cimed to be the legitimate heirs of Konoha and the inheritors of the Will of Fire. If they faltered at this time, they would lose their political standing.
"I agree!"
Tobirama Senju struggled inwardly, wanting to say no. He was short on money and wanted to restart the Hashirama Cell experiments, which would cost an astronomical amount, possibly hundreds of millions of ryo.
However, Tobirama Senju ultimately yielded. Political standing was more important than money, it was the foundation of the Senju cn's survival in Konoha.
Another one down!
Uchiha Nan was secretly delighted. With the three major bloodline ninja cns of Konoha taking the lead, the rest were no longer a concern.
"Cn Head Nara, you three cns of Ino-Shika-Cho are united. What is your opinion?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Shikaku Nara. He wanted to give him important positions in the future, so he wanted to test him and see if he was on the right track.
Shikaku Nara had already seen the situation clearly. The momentum was with Uchiha Nan, and going against it would only lead to ruin!
He decided to be decisive, and Shikaku Nara answered almost instantly, without hesitation.
"For Konoha, our three cns naturally agree!"
"Very good!"
Uchiha Nan praised him, very satisfied with Shikaku Nara's understanding.
"What about the rest of you?"
"Who agrees, who disagrees?"
Uchiha Nan was too zy to ask one by one and directly asked everyone else.
"If you disagree, you can say so. The cns have their own difficulties, and as the cn head, I understand how difficult it is to maintain a cn."
Uchiha Nan wanted to make it look nicer, so he added a sentence.
How infuriating!
He really wanted to beat up Uchiha Nan!
The remaining cn heads were furious. He was clearly holding a knife to their throats, yet he was smiling and asking if they were satisfied.
Was this something a human could do?
Unfortunately, they would never have the chance to realize such thoughts.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"..."
Pleasant voices of agreement rang out, making Uchiha Nan feel joyful.
"Good, this proposal is unanimously approved!"
"As expected, everyone here is a pilr of Konoha, fully understanding the spirit of the Will of Fire."
"This is all for Konoha!"
Uchiha Nan's official speeches were becoming more and more fluent, and his slogans were becoming louder and louder. He was infected, the leader's disease had spread to Uchiha Nan.
"Today's meeting has come to a successful conclusion. Let's give ourselves a round of appuse!"
Uchiha Nan was the first to stand up and cp, and everyone else stood up and cpped, their eyes glistening with tears, seemingly moved by the spirit of today's meeting.
Of course not. These were tears of pain. Their cns were going to have a hard time again!
However, Uchiha Nan was in a good mood. After the meeting, everyone went home, and Uchiha Nan returned to his little nest.
Fene and Ling had already prepared lunch and were waiting for him at home. Uchiha Nan ate three big bowls!
After lunch, Uchiha Nan felt very happy today and thought he should do something to celebrate. He hadn't used his ten lottery chances yet, so he decided to use them on this auspicious day.
Uchiha Nan locked himself in his room and, as usual, began to pray.
"Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Shiva, Jade Emperor, Jesus..."
"Please bless me with gold!"
