Chapter 115

Although Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku delayed him a bit, it wasn't much.

After leaving the train station, Haruki arrived at the financial department of the Natsu Organization.

In the first meeting held earlier, he mentioned the creation of a new bank.

The infrastructure investment bank for the Sand Village trip was already in use, with the Third Kazekage being its sole customer for now.

Haruki's next intended customers were Nagato and his group from the Akatsuki organization.

But as they were still in their early stages, they didn't need it for now.

Thus, this bank remained quite idle.

The new bank's construction was particularly important.

He called it the Konoha Savings Bank.

Haruki formulated the relevant rules and regulations according to the standards of the previous life's banks.

After a few weeks of construction, a special underground bank was established in Konoha.

Luckily, it was an underground bank, so it didn't attract the attention of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

No, Haruki suspected that Hiruzen didn't even understand the purpose of a bank.

In this world, people's understanding of banks or money lenders was just about loans.

But besides loans and deposits, banks can do many things, such as controlling the economy.

For now, Haruki's bank had only two functions: loans and deposits.

The loans were not like those of underground banks; they were not usurious and were inclined towards commercial loans.

It was somewhat similar to the infrastructure investment bank, but one focused on individuals, the other on organizations or regions.

And deposits need no explanation.

Haruki planned to introduce electronic payments.

At least, it's feasible in Konoha.

With the reputation of Haruki and Tsunade, almost no one would doubt their credibility or think they would abscond with the money.

And electronic payments weren't difficult.

As long as Haruki's network research group managed to develop a local area network, it could be implemented.

Once people got used to electronic payments, using paper money or wallets would seem extremely inconvenient.

Haruki hadn't carried cash on him for over a decade in his previous life, only needing his phone when he went out.

Of course, the advent of mobile phones would take a long time.

But bank cards could achieve a similar effect.

Haruki took a tour of the Konoha Savings Bank.

For now, there weren't many customers.

The importance of money is the same in any world.

Without complete trust, it's impossible to leave money with a bank.

But time will prove everything.

Haruki's response to this was simple: one was interest, money making money is visible; the other was setting an example by having some ninja clans deposit money high-profile.

After explaining his strategy to the finance department members, Haruki moved to the next place.

Golden Jade Union.

But this didn't require his worry, nor any strategy.

With Haruki and Tsunade's engagement ceremony, Golden Jade Union became well-known in Konoha.

Especially Tsunade's same wedding ring sold exceptionally well.

Consequently, the sales of other gold and diamonds also improved.

Now, Golden Jade Union was one of the main income sources for the Natsu Organization.

Haruki left satisfied.

He realized that the Natsu Organization had reached a certain level where he only needed to set the direction.

Like steering a ship as a navigator.

Most things no longer needed his attention.

After some contemplation, Haruki found Omoki.

It wasn't that he needed to publish another novel.

His "Sword Art Online" and "Slam Dunk" could probably last for a long time.

Additionally, he hired three more authors. Although their level wasn't as high, they were top-notch in the ninja world.

Haruki wanted Omoki to make a movie.

Not some two-person action movie, but an artfully processed war film.

He planned to celebrate the ninja heroes of the Second Shinobi World War, bringing Konoha's villagers their first open-air movie.

Yes, free of charge.

Haruki's purpose was to promote Tsunade.

In the last war, Tsunade's fame mainly came from the efforts of Hanzo the Salamander.

Most people's impression of her was as one of the Legendary Sannin and a medical ninja.

But what was her exact level?

Few people knew.

One reason was the distance from Tsunade; the other was Tsunade hadn't promoted herself.

Haruki wanted to use this movie, with at least one-third of its content showcasing Tsunade's healing abilities.

Doctors are always respected.

But in the ninja world, due to the strength of the strong, most attention is on ninjas like the White Fang of Konoha or the Yellow Flash.

After explaining this to Omoki, he wasn't too surprised.

Movies and cinemas weren't something new.

These highly incongruous things, like computers, simultaneously exist in the world of Naruto.

But Haruki's advantage was that he could mobilize ninjas and his previous life's knowledge.

He was confident in making a special-effects-laden war film.

After all, ninjutsu was real.

Haruki suddenly thought that such a movie would be particularly popular in the Land of Fire.

Outside the ninja village, few could see powerful ninjas, so there must be curiosity.

"Any other requirements?" Omoki asked after noting down the plot.

"One last thing, the actress for Tsunade must be accurate, you understand?" Haruki patted Omoki's shoulder.

"Accurate?" Omoki was stunned, "Finding another Tsunade is nearly impossible."

"Anyway, just make sure she's beautiful."

Haruki knew what the audience wanted to see: a beautiful elder sister who can heal, who wouldn't like that?

In his previous life, he most eagerly looked for a skilled healer when running dungeons in online games.

Tsunade's reputation should improve with this movie.

The next few years of peace would be her advantage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and others would never think that besides powerful ninjas, other types of ninjas could also have enough followers.

According to the main criteria for selecting Hokage, Tsunade lacked nothing.

Strength, reputation, connections.

She only needed an opportunity to become the next Hokage.

Haruki thought of this opportunity as he returned home.

Tsunade was not there.

Because of the preparations for the honeymoon trip, she also wanted to arrange the medical team properly, so she would be busy for a few days.

Speaking of opportunities, Mikoto's performance today gave him inspiration.

Since she could reenact the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, isn't it reasonable for me to orchestrate the Nine-Tails' attack?

Just in time, Mito Uzumaki's lifespan was about to end.

And Haruki had some thoughts about the Nine-Tails.

He planned to seize half of the Nine-Tails for fun.

Haruki pulled back his thoughts and lay down on the sofa for a while.

Life without mobile phones and computers was a bit boring.

After some contemplation, he got up and went to the study.

Sitting on his new office chair, Haruki picked up the ninja school roster.

It's early August now, almost summer vacation.

He needed to assign so-called social investigations to the students.

Among them, Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi were his focus.

They were both very important characters in the original story, and both had great talents.

Kakashi was a good person, but his life was like a star of calamity, with his father, teacher, and teammates all dying one after another, except for his two main protagonist students.

And Obito… Haruki frowned; he truly couldn't understand Obito's thoughts.

Just because the girl he liked died, he lost faith in the whole world.

Indirectly or directly causing the deaths of countless people.

Including his own teacher and clan members, it was simply toxic.

And creating the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi world without war and with eternal peace.

Playing The Matrix?

Haruki couldn't help but complain; he was just an uneducated, heavy-duty chunibyo patient with a mental illness.

But since the events hadn't happened yet, there was no need to send him off for reincarnation now.

Since he was still young, there was hope for rescue; Haruki definitely needed to help this guy with personality correction.
