Uchiha Yu told Miwa Masayo about getting a large sum of money.

The tabby cat is the companion chosen by Uchiha Yu. There is enough trust between them, and Miwa Masayo also has enough power to protect his own memories.

It’s not that the Cat Fairy is very powerful, but that she has mastered the flame fairy technique, Flame Jump, and can jump through space between any flames.

After confirming the effectiveness of this magic, Uchiha You dug a secret room deep underground in his home, placed a large water tank inside, filled it with oil, and lit an eternal lamp. He also lit another lamp in the Cat Castle.

No matter where she is, Miwa Masayo can throw out a ball of fire with her claws, then dive into the fire and return to Uchiha Yu's home or the cat castle. No one in the current ninja world can catch her.

As for illusions, they would naturally be countered by the pupil power of the shit shoveler. As long as it was not a Mangekyo-level illusion, it would be impossible to break through Uchiha Yu's pupil power protection. Even if the Mangekyo Sharingan cast an illusion, he was confident that he could protect Miwa Masayo from completing the flame jump.

It was with sufficient power as a backing that Uchiha You had the confidence to share his secrets with his fellow Taoist.

"So, we are rich now, meow!"

"Yes, we thought exactly the same thing!"

"Unfortunately, most of them can't be spent."

"Impossible, how could this happen?"

"Because when the amount of money reaches a certain level, it is no longer what normal people understand as money. The markets and channels that ordinary people have access to simply do not have the goods and materials to match that amount of money."

"If the two of us dare to use such a large sum of money, it would be equivalent to showing it directly to the Third Hokage."

"Meow, that won't do. The Sarutobi family is so domineering. Cat Castle has suffered a lot in the past ten years. If the Sarutobi family knew about this, they would shamelessly come to rob it."

"Huh? I really didn't know that the Sarutobi family was so domineering? I've never heard of it."

"Meow, they won't rob people from Konoha Village. Besides, the Sarutobi family used Konoha Village's decree to collect or buy people. It's legal robbery, meow. There's nothing we can do about it, meow."

"Ha, in the final analysis, the Cat Castle is not strong enough. When three or five cat sages appear among you ninja cats, the Cat Castle will be directly promoted to the fourth holy place. Do you think the attitude of the Sarutobi family will change?"

"Even if the Sarutobi family is blinded by greed, those monkeys will teach them how to behave."

"Well, one day it will happen, but it hurts me that I can't use all this money!"

"Give part of it to Granny Cat and let her help us run it. We both want half of the profits."

"With the channels of Cat Castle, it should be no problem to eat 3% of it, which is enough for us."

"How much is that, meow?"

"About 1.2 billion taels of capital, equivalent to a quarter of the total business capital of Cat Castle. It can't be more. Even if it is more, Granny Cat can't afford it."

"Meow!!!"

"I want to eat good food, I want to eat delicious food!"

"Okay, okay, but you have to buy them all from Granny Cat. You also have to buy some medicinal herbs from Granny Cat, so as not to cause price fluctuations in Konoha Village."

"I don't want to take medicine...it's bitter, unpalatable, and disgusting."

"You have to eat, otherwise you won't get enough nutrition, which will be bad for your subsequent practice. Besides, will I let you eat the herbs directly?"

"Can medicine be made into delicious food?"

"Yes, why not?"

"The problem is that I've never made it before. I need to spend time, ingredients and herbs to try it out. Anyway, I have money now, so it doesn't matter if I waste a little."

…

September has quickly arrived, the autumn harvest has ended, and the autumn wind is becoming increasingly bleak and cold.

The morning dew is getting heavier and heavier, and people have to wear thicker mid-layers to resist the cold and begin to prepare for the arrival of winter.

The situation in the ninja world seemed to have stabilized due to the just-concluded autumn harvest, and even the price of food had dropped by 30%.

The Uchiha family held a small-scale clan meeting to discuss changes in the situation this year. The clan leader and elders believed that war would not break out this winter.

Guided by this conclusion, the Uchiha family made a number of adjustments, such as selling some of the old grain and replacing it with this year's new grain, selling some of the old weapons and equipment at high prices, and freeing up inventory to prepare for the storage of new weapons to be built in the winter.

As the owner of the three-magatama Sharingan, Uchiha Shinin attended the meeting without saying a word throughout the whole process, and no one asked for his opinion.

I don't know what good thing happened to this old man in late summer, but he suddenly became active and started to find fault with Uchiha Fugaku and the six elders. He called them trash when he opened his mouth and idiots when he closed his mouth.

The people in power of the Uchiha family were scolded so badly that they could only deliberately avoid the old man and try not to give him the opportunity to speak.

Fortunately, after a few months, the old man lost his temper, cursed "rotten wood" a few times, and then shut up and never spoke again. Everyone felt relieved.

"They don't even realize that the drop in food prices may be because the five major countries have completed their war preparations and are no longer frantically purchasing food. I called Fugaku a waste, and he was not happy."

"What about the face?"

"Look, Shisui, your brother You guessed it right away, but those idiots just couldn't think of it."

"Even if you can't think of it, why not investigate the reserves of Konoha Village? Hey! They actually said that the Third Hokage ordered it to be kept secret. If Uchiha were to spy on this kind of information, it would easily cause conflict and increase the distrust between each other."

"I'm going to fuck him—"

Shisui quickly poured half a cup of yellow ginseng wine for old man Xin Yin and said, "I know all about this ban. The clan leader's concerns are reasonable. We Uchiha have a very special status now. We really can't do it too obviously. That's not good."

"Shisui, you are too honest."

The old man took a sip of wine and sighed, "We Uchiha are a ninja clan. It is right to guard against information leaks, but if the ninja clan knows nothing, it will easily put the clan members in danger, which is also wrong."

Uchiha Shisui was in a dilemma and asked, "What should I do then?"

The old man paused holding the wine glass. He thought for a long time but still had no idea. He simply asked, "Boy, don't just focus on eating meat. You have a smart mind. Tell me what we should do?"

Uchiha You ate the braised chicken in his hand with a crunchy mouth, swallowed it, and replied: "The relationship between the Uchiha family and the third generation is indeed sensitive now. It is not appropriate to send people directly to inquire about military intelligence. We must avoid being troubled by people with ulterior motives, or even spreading rumors that we are suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

"If we can't find out directly, then we can find out indirectly?"

"Well, in fact, the confidentiality level of this information is not high, and the specific operations are carried out by the lowest-level ninjas. The several powerful ninja clans should all know it well."

"But our relationship with them is not good, so asking them directly won't work either. They will be worried."

Uchiha Shisui asked anxiously: "What should we do then?"

"I've already said it, ask indirectly." Uchiha You said with a smile, "We Uchiha have full authority over the security department, right?"

"Don't the Security Department have information and data on military granaries? I remember that building granaries must be registered with the Security Department."

"There are records of grain transport in and out, and records of the village population, right?"

"The grain storage will not exceed three years. Compare the data of transportation in and out in the past three years to get the total amount of grain stored in Konoha Village."

"People generally consume two kilograms of food per day. Multiply that by the population to get a rough estimate of the consumption."

"The total amount of grain in stock minus the amount consumed, and then compared with the total capacity of the grain warehouse, we can know whether Konoha Village's granary is full."

Uchiha Shisui was filled with amazement.

Uchiha Xinyin laughed and praised: "I told you, you are really awesome!"
