Uchiha Ryun returned to the Hokage Building. Tsunade followed closely behind. There was an important meeting tonight. As Ryun's wife and the Director of Konoha Hospital, it was necessary for Tsunade to come here to participate.
"Turn on the lights." Uchiha Ryun smiled. Hatake Sakumo acknowledged and then proactively turned on the lights. He then stood next to Ryun.
Ryun looked at Tsunade. "Wife, you sit here." He pointed to the position closest to him. The Anbu shinobi immediately understood. They quickly brought a sofa and placed it there.
Tsunade's face reddened. "This, is it really okay? After all, everyone else is sitting on chairs."
Ryun pressed her down onto the sofa and smiled. "There's nothing wrong with it. Be good, listen to me."
Under Ryun's continuous coaxing and soft words, Tsunade sat on that sofa.
It was quite soft! The corners of her mouth turned up as she looked at her husband beside her. He was currently checking the account books with Nara Luming.
Nara Luming said, "Hokage-sama, excluding the one hundred scrolls given to Iwagakure, there are still over nine hundred left. It is estimated that four hundred and sixty billion in liquid funds are available for use."
He verified it again and again, afraid of making a mistake in the audit. This was Konoha's development fund for the next few decades!
Uchiha Ryun smiled. "After the meeting, Konoha will enter an era of rapid development. This period will be very tiring, very busy, even working day and night without rest. Luming, can your body handle it?"
"Hokage-sama, please rest assured. Although I am over forty this year, I am in my prime. I will charge at the front line to share your burdens, Hokage-sama." Nara Luming said with a serious face.
This matter would bring merits for generations. If done well, his Nara family would definitely leave a significant mark on Konoha's history.
Furthermore, the family's status would also rise several levels. It might not be comparable to the Uchiha or Senju, but the Hyūga? Sorry, yesterday you were this (thumbs up), from now on you are this (look of disdain).
Uchiha Ryun nodded. "Call Kumokai and Torifu as well. It will make things easier for you. Moreover, the Ino-Shika-Chō trio share glory and loss. With them here, you can work with confidence."
"Hokage-sama is absolutely right. I imagine Torifu and Kumokai will also be very excited." Nara Luming originally had the mentality of a middle-aged man just getting by day by day.
But under the infusion of 460 billion ryo, he suddenly felt he shouldn't just drift along anymore. He wanted to leave his name in history. He wanted to lead the three Ino-Shika-Chō families to the peak of the entire shinobi world.
To become one of the main participants in this economic reform, to accomplish great things!
Seeing Nara Luming's expression, one of wholehearted devotion and perseverance, Uchiha Ryun smiled. Good, this situation was good.
Luming wanted fame. He himself wanted benefits (here referring to allowing the people to live in peace and prosperity). Both had ambition. Both had ability. One was the Hokage's assistant, the other was the Kage. With both united, the matter was half accomplished. The rest depended on the major shinobi clans.
Tsunade watched the conversation between Uchiha Ryun and Nara Luming from the side, giving mental praise. Her husband was simply too excellent. The Nara clan head, Nara Luming, at this moment was like a retainer to Ryun, treating him with utmost respect, his eyes full of yearning for the future.
Probably, her First Grandfather and Second Grandfather couldn't achieve this. This was sincere submission, not submission forced by power or authority.
The Anbu shinobi, under Ryun's orders, had been sent to notify all clan heads, civilian representatives, and leaders from the hospital, research institute, school, etc., to hold an emergency meeting tonight. Oh, the hospital wasn't needed. The highest leader of the hospital was right next to the Hokage, drinking tea and chatting.
An Anbu shinobi held a tea tray with a teacup on it, head bowed looking at the ground, serving tea to the Hokage's wife.
After Tsunade took the tea, the Anbu shinobi quickly left, not daring to linger. He understood what should and shouldn't be seen.
Tsunade's red lips lightly sipped the tea. Ryun sat over, naturally lay on the sofa, and put his arm around his wife's shoulders.
"Exciting, right? Hehe, I'm also very excited. So much money is enough to advance Konoha's quality of life and development level by a hundred years!" There was light in Uchiha Ryun's eyes as he looked towards the door.
Tsunade originally intended to agree with him, but then Ryun's hands began to restlessly knead her shoulders and thighs. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Be careful, there are still people here. The meeting will start soon. As the Hokage, you need to be serious!" After saying this, Tsunade swatted away Ryun's wandering hands.
Uchiha Ryun smiled awkwardly. Hehe, couldn't blame him for losing control, only blame his wife for being too captivating.
Nara Luming's ears twitched, but he did not turn to look at Ryun. Instead, he got up and walked towards the door.
Ryun felt somewhat embarrassed, but he remembered Tsunade's words. After that, it was just holding her waist and touching her leg, nothing more.
Seeing that only the two of them were in the meeting room, Tsunade didn't say anything more. After all, didn't this also represent her great charm?
She was in a good mood. On one hand, Konoha was about to enter an era of rapid development. On the other hand, Ryun was still, just like at the beginning, unable to keep his hands off her.
After about an hour or so, people started to trickle in. Uchiha Ryun got up and returned to his seat, then put on a serious face, as if the rogue who was just groping her had nothing to do with him.
Tsunade also sat up straight, minding her posture. Ryun was the Hokage, she was the Hokage's wife, so she naturally couldn't be rough and careless.
The first to enter was actually Senju Hashirama. Only, his expression wasn't good. He originally thought Ryun was just going to get revenge, to teach the Land of Earth's Daimyo a lesson. He didn't expect Ryun to take three-quarters of the Land of Earth's treasury. How would this make their Konoha look!
Then following him was Senju Tobirama. He frowned. "Big brother, I'm telling you, don't cause trouble! Right now, Ryun's actions are in line with the will of Konoha's people. They can bring huge benefits and advantages to Konoha."
"If you dare cause trouble, believe me, besides the Senju and Uchiha, every other clan will resent you?" Senju Tobirama understood clearly that everything Uchiha Ryun did was without issue.
He was a leader acting in everyone's interest, bringing tangible benefits to all.
If his older brother couldn't recognize the situation, then he would be blocking everyone's path to wealth, making enemies of all the village's clans. To state it seriously, he would then also have a note added in Konoha's history books.
The First Hokage, for the sake of face, obstructed Konoha's development, was incompetent and unprincipled, unworthy of being Hokage!
"Mm, I know. I'll try my best to keep my mouth shut and not speak. I'm just a bit unhappy. Why must we obtain resources through invasion?" Senju Hashirama felt Ryun's actions ran counter to his original intention when founding Konoha.
