The Light and Shadow Master's prestige in Akatsuki Village was terrifying beyond mea

Chapter 73 The Light and Shadow Lord's prestige in Akatsuki Village is terrifyingly high, unmatched by anyone! Long live the Light and Shadow Lord!!

"Lord Makoto, Lady Tsubaki Shizuku has arrived."

As the announcement sounded, Uchiha Makoto looked up and immediately saw Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku holding a food box. Ever since his engagement, Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku had been taking care of all his daily meals.

Makoto Uchiha actually has his own team of chefs, so these small things don't require Shizuku Uzumaki to do them herself. However, according to her, "It is an obligation set by the Sage of Six Paths for a wife to prepare food for her husband every day."

The matter has already been discussed to this extent.

The chef team that was specifically assigned to serve Makoto Uchiha was sent to the Akatsuki Village's staff canteen. Now, every day, the Anbu ninjas would bring a basket of tested ingredients to Shizuku Uzumaki, who would then prepare them into delicious and visually appealing dishes and deliver them to Makoto's office. Because of his busy work schedule, Makoto rarely had the opportunity to go home for meals.

"Tsubaki Shizuku, thank you for your hard work."

"Lord Guangying is a very busy person, it's really not easy to see you. I can only meet you under the pretext of delivering food."

Uchiha Makoto greeted her, and the two had gradually become familiar with each other. Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku was already able to joke with Uchiha Makoto in a tone that was half coquettish and half complaining.

However, it was just a joke.

What they said is indeed the truth.

The more money invested.

The more things the village needs to handle, the more problems it will have to deal with.

The longer Makoto Uchiha spent in the office, the more it seemed like a logical dead loop. Of course, this was just Makoto Uchiha's happy problem. If Tobirama Senju had such abundant funds, he would definitely be working two jobs: one in the laboratory working day and night, and the other in the office working day and night.

Anyway, he's a single guy.

Makoto Uchiha does have some free time in the evenings, but Shizuku Uzumaki is still his fiancée, so it's impossible for her to move into his mansion right now. If she did, it would inevitably lead to a lot of fighting, which Makoto is quite looking forward to.

The two ate lunch together and chatted idly, taking the opportunity to deepen their relationship.

"The young couple is having dinner."

An uninvited guest suddenly arrived

Shinji Uzumaki greeted the two people "talking about love" in front of him, then sighed inwardly. These young people nowadays are so clueless, their way of cultivating feelings is so crude. They're already husband and wife in name only, why don't they just live together and get things done and have a child? Only then can Shinji Uzumaki feel at ease.

"That old man definitely has something up his sleeve."

Just by glancing at the old man's expression, Makoto Uchiha knew that his thoughts must be incredibly filthy.

However, he didn't take these things to heart.

Compared to these trivial things.

Makoto Uchiha was more concerned about how the sealing barrier of Akatsuki was progressing.

Shinji Uzumaki has been spending the most energy on this matter these days: "Don't worry, the sealing barrier of Konoha Village was designed by our Uzumaki clan together with them. The main process and technology are similar. The most important thing is the cost of materials. Covering the entire ninja village is a considerable expense."

"It's okay, there's no limit to the amount of money we can put in. It has to be big and good. Anything that can be solved with money isn't really a problem."

Uchiha Makoto's words were incredibly extravagant, and his attitude of treating money like dirt shocked even Uzumaki Shinji. Damn, just how much funding did the Akatsuki have to burn?

During his time in Akatsuki Village, Shinji Uzumaki grew increasingly confident about the village's future.

Countless merchants come and go every day, and the expansion and construction are increasing daily. Construction teams are overwhelmed with orders, and even ninjas skilled in earth-style techniques are no longer taking on C-rank or B-rank missions.

Launch a fierce attack on such D-level missions.

Even Konoha isn't this exaggerated.

No, I should say that on this point.

Konoha is no match for Akatsuki.

Behind all this is a burning of funds. Propaganda and attracting investment all cost a lot of money. Konoha has concentrated the majority of its funds on the military field. The village's commerce is basically all spontaneous activity by the villagers. It is not only unsystematic but also extremely weak. Once there is any disturbance, it is easy to be paralyzed during wartime. Those unscrupulous merchants will definitely take advantage of the situation and raise prices.

Makoto Uchiha, on the other hand, worked hard to establish factories, reaping the benefits of the first wave of the Industrial Revolution, and eventually built an economic center in the Land of Fire with Akatsuki Village as its core.

Lunch was finished quickly.

in the afternoon.

Makoto Uchiha, accompanied by Shizuku Uzumaki and Shinji Uzumaki, arrived at the Ninja Academy. Their purpose in coming to the Ninja Academy today was not to inspect it, but to watch a program.

The news that Uchiha Makoto, as the Kage, is getting married has spread throughout Akatsuki Village.

To celebrate this grand event, the students rehearsed a series of performances and then invited Uchiha Makoto to watch them.

Uchiha Makoto did not refuse this kind offer.

As soon as Uchiha Makoto entered the auditorium, he saw a group of children stand up, cheering and raising their hands together.

"You came from Shandong, returning my snow-white attire..."

The music suddenly stopped.

The students waved and shouted, and some even got teary-eyed with emotion.

The thunderous cheers shook Shinji Uzumaki behind him. He suppressed his emotions and observed the students' expressions: fervent, loyal, and with flushed faces. He had never seen such a scene in his life.

I heard that there are a full three thousand students in the Ninja Academy, and that's just the first class. Then there will be a second, third, and fourth class. These students are so loyal to Uchiha Makoto. How terrifying will the Akatsuki Village be in a few years or a dozen years?

Hashirama Senju of Konoha was indeed breathtakingly strong, but Shinji Uzumaki knew very well that this was only temporary. A monster like Hashirama Senju was ultimately a rare individual, and one like him might not appear for hundreds of years. Perhaps Konoha would have to rely on Akatsuki in the future. Such an absurd thought suddenly arose in Shinji Uzumaki's mind.

"Let's begin."

Uchiha Makoto's lips curled up, a smile appeared on his face, and he even couldn't help but hum softly.

The program started soon.

"On that day, the Light and Shadow Master was our sun."

The powerful performances of several young veteran actors on stage not only broadened Makoto Uchiha's horizons, but also shocked Shizuku Uzumaki, who was standing next to him. She was already trying hard to imagine Makoto Uchiha's reputation and influence in Akatsuki Village.

I didn't expect my vision was still too narrow.

Although Makoto Uchiha found these programs somewhat boring, consisting mostly of hymns, he was still genuinely happy that his efforts had not been in vain, his funds had not been wasted, and the students' kindness had not been taken for granted.

The people's hearts are worth supporting!

I am now the one everyone hopes for!

It's rare to have anything happening today.

Another 6k, that's really not easy, I've worked so hard.

Please subscribe! And please give me your monthly passes!!!

I will try my best to work late into the night whenever I have time.
