Chapter 361 Advance Planning

The fourth elder, Yang Ping, coughed, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Everyone quieted down and looked at the fourth elder.

The fourth elder sorted out his thoughts:

"Clan leader, our snack street in Konoha is now our economic pillar."

"If we become independent, what will happen to the snack street?"

Xia Mu nodded, the fourth elder's question hit the point.

He also had a plan:

"Regarding this matter, the fourth elder has a different idea, or all the clan members have a different idea."

"We Uchiha will become independent, but we can form an alliance with Konoha in name."

"As foreign merchants, we can do business in Konoha."

The fourth elder frowned slightly: "Will Konoha agree?"

Xia Mu smiled: "If Konoha drives all of us away, then the snack street will no longer exist."

"If the snack street does not exist, it will not only be us who will suffer losses, but Konoha will also suffer losses."

What Xia Mu did not say was that Orochimaru was his people anyway, and it was not a matter of Orochimaru's words to let them do business.

The current Uchiha Snack Street is already a business card of Konoha.

Many people come to Konoha, whether to do business or to accept or post tasks, and they will go to the snack street after finishing their work.

If Konoha really doesn't want Uchiha, other people really can't support this street.

Although the Land of Fire already has a central factory, the snack street has been affected by the impact of cooking packs and semi-finished products.

But Xia Mu also retained some food that is only delicious when made on the spot.

Even if there is such food outside.

There is still a certain difference between cooking packs and newly made ones.

Moreover, the snack street here already has a fixed flow of customers.

Many villagers in Konoha are used to eating here.

A good atmosphere has been formed.

After outsiders enter, they can't help but want to buy something to eat.

The more people eat, the more people are attracted, forming a virtuous circle.

"In the future, Konoha will become a business place for us Uchiha."

"We just need to send some people to garrison here in turn."

"If there are suitable people, we can also slowly hand over the business to people we trust. We just need to collect money."

The fourth elder Yang Ping nodded:

"I understand, clan leader."

Xia Mu continued: "Then the most important point is here, where will we Uchiha go."

Xia Mu gestured to Yizhi.

Yizhi stood up and hung a huge map behind Xia Mu.

Xia Mu took a pen and drew a circle on the four islands west of Kirigakure.

"Here."

The people below widened their eyes, that was the land of the Land of Water.

"Everyone knows some information about the Land of Water. Now Kirigakure is in a state of disrepair and has a serious fiscal deficit."

"We Uchiha have made some money in recent years, so we spent money to buy these islands."

Wow...

The people below were dumbfounded. Clan leader, do you want to listen to what you said?

How many islands did you buy...

"There are several large ports of the Land of Water on these islands. Trade is very developed."

"Considering that the four islands are too scattered, I have contacted Iwagakure to send an engineering team to prepare to reclaim land and combine the four islands into one large island."

The people below were numb. They spent money to buy several islands, and now they are spending money to reclaim land.

The clan leader's hand is too big.

"If there are enough people, I plan to merge the former Land of Whirlpool next to it into our Uchiha territory."

"There are also many tasks and business opportunities in the Land of Water now."

"Enough for the development of our Uchiha clan."

The people below received too much information at one time and were still slowly receiving the information.

The third elder Takuya was sensitive to the wording:

"Patriarch, you just said "territory". Aren't we Uchiha going to build a new village?"

Xia Mu laughed: "I forgot to say, I'm going to build a country!"

This time, the people below were really excited.

Xia Mu pressed his palm:

"I just said that we Uchiha are not suitable to be inferior to others."

"Then just build a country, and make all the decisions yourself!"

Takuya took a breath, after all, there is still a big difference between building a village and building a country.

Only in terms of personnel, a village can be supported by Uchiha.

As for a country, the Uchiha people are too few.

"Patriarch, our clan has too few people to build a country, right?"

Xia Mu shook his head:

"It doesn't matter if there are many or few people, there will always be more people in the future."

"The important thing is that we govern our own place."

If you are a village, you can only be affiliated with a country.

Now that Xia Mu has directly obtained the territory, it is natural that he is the master of his own house.

"Next, the third elder Takuya will lead the people there and make arrangements."

"We will migrate as a whole."

The third elder Takuya looked solemn:

"Don't worry, clan leader! I will definitely take care of everything."

The third elder Takuya also followed Itachi and Shisui to the Land of Rice and worked hard to build it from scratch.

Xia Mu was very relieved to leave this matter to him.

"After the meeting, you go to withdraw the money and resources you need. Bring more storage scrolls and some necessities."

"Don't worry about the housing, it should be enough. After you go there, just plan it."

"Our people are coming, how to solve the food and shelter."

If the Uchiha wants to live there, they need a lot of things.

If it is a deserted island, they need to build enough houses, power stations, water purification stations, etc.

Fortunately, there were residents on these islands.

There is no shortage of these livelihood items near the port, and there are many houses.

So the Uchiha clan only needs to take over in the past.

As for how to change it in the future, it can be done slowly.

This is also the reason why they did not directly occupy the original territory of the Whirlpool Country.

And because the original territory of the Whirlpool Country does not have these things.

Ordinary people will have great inconvenience in their lives.

It takes too much time and energy to build from scratch.

If the Uchiha clan develops well and occupies the Whirlpool Country, no one dares to say anything.

Of course, Xia Mu has long regarded the land of Whirlpool Country as his own.

It's just that he can't take too big a step now, otherwise it's easy to get involved.

If it's just the Uchiha combatants.

That's simple, there are only a few hundred people.

The key is the ordinary people of the Uchiha clan.

After these years of development, there are more than 2,000 people.

Many of them are children born in recent years, some are one or two years old, and the older ones are four or five years old.

If you want to travel long distances, the speed will be very slow.

The key is to float across the sea, even if it seems to be next to the Whirlpool Country on the map.

It's still going out to sea.

Now the Uchiha is going to the northernmost island, which is a large port in the Water Country.

The islands are not connected, so you can't swim over, so you still need a boat.

Ninja going to sea and ordinary people going to sea are also two concepts.

Migrating the entire clan is a very large project.

The Third Elder would have to spend a lot of time just planning it.
