Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Seizing power is a very subtle word.

Most of the time, the meaning of this word corresponds to some dirty and dark reality.

Perhaps for many people in the Land of Whirlpools, Minato Namikaze, the representative of Konoha, represents the dark side of reality.

This is what many young people in the Whirlpool Country think now.

They would not think about the fact that decades ago, the Hidden Mist Village attacked... and ambushed the Land of Whirlpools, almost leading to the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan.

They just think that the fact that Konoha Village has stationed troops in the Land of Whirlpools and still firmly holds the supreme ruling power makes some ambitious people very uncomfortable.

Don’t worry about what will happen if the Hidden Mist Village suddenly attacks the Land of Whirlpools after they succeed in seizing power and withdraw their garrison back to Konoha Village.

They don't care about these at all. They only know that your Konoha Village has seized the power that they deserve.

Yes, in their opinion, the power of the Whirlpool Country should naturally belong to them.

As for what would happen if they were targeted by other big countries after they gained power...

What does it matter? At worst, we can just cede territory and pay compensation. As long as we can get to that position, then it doesn't matter how much compensation we have to pay.

You Ya actually knew this idea, or rather, which village doesn’t have such people?

Well...except them, Konoha.

The position of Hokage in Konoha has become a pit because Yuya has done such a good job. Whoever succeeds him will have to compare with Yuya. Who the hell wants to succeed him?

Well, in short, this incident is a trouble for Minato Namikaze, but it is also a trouble that Minato Namikaze must solve.

But with Uzumaki Kushina here, I think solving the problem won't be too difficult.

This is also the reason why Mizutomon En chose to let Namikaze Minato come to Whirlpool Country to succeed him.

Uzumaki Kushina's identity is too noble. In the Land of Whirlpools, Uzumaki Kushina's appearance is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

Now in the Land of Whirlpools, all the false accusations and rumors against Minato Namikaze have disappeared overnight.

Various television stations have also begun discussing what new policies the newly appointed Governor of the Whirlpool Country will have.

Anyway, on the surface, no one dares to lead the pace anymore.

Well, not secretly either.

Minato Namikaze's identity as the head of the Anbu is no pushover.

Even if you deal with Minato Namikaze openly, Minato Namikaze won't do anything to you.

But if you do it in secret...

Isn't this just a step in the right direction? Hey, this is the job I'm most familiar with.

So all of a sudden, the country of whirlpools became very harmonious and friendly.

This made Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki laugh.

But they both knew that this was just the beginning.

The barking dog never bites. These people will openly cause him a lot of trouble in the future.

But these... Minato Namikaze had already thought of them.

"Governor, these are all the tax returns for the past year. Please have a look."

An official from the Whirlpool Country very respectfully handed a pile of reports to Minato Namikaze.

Namikaze Minato was silent, then he chuckled: "I understand, you go down first."

After everyone left, Minato Namikaze gestured with his hands to measure the thickness of some of these reports.

Wow, it’s as thick as my fist.

The Country of Whirlpools is not very big, and because of the suppression of Mito Kado En, its industrial development is not very strong, so the Country of Whirlpools focuses more on developing various agricultural products.

Let’s not talk about how Minato Namikaze’s tertiary industry economic development strategy will develop for now.

How can these tax returns be so thick?

He understood that Konoha Village was so thick-skinned. After all, each factory had to prepare a separate report.

But there aren't many factories in your country of whirlpools...

It's impossible... that everything could be stuffed in.

Minato Namikaze randomly took out one, opened it, and then smiled.

It really is……

This is a report prepared by a landowner who owns thirty acres of land.

Generally speaking, this kind of agricultural report does not require any other reports. You just need to count what was planted per acre, how much was planted, and how much was sold for. Then you can calculate the agricultural tax and it is not that troublesome.

The reason these guys produced so many reports is simply to disgust Minato Namikaze.

Aren't you the Governor?

Aren’t you the emperor of the Whirlpool Kingdom?

Aren’t you the most powerful?

Okay, we'll come to you for anything, is that okay?

Don’t think it’s appropriate?

You must be joking.

You are the governor of the Whirlpool Country. In theory, you are in charge of everything.

We are just asking you to perform your duties now. How can you say that we did it on purpose?

Namikaze Minato just found it funny. He had heard the previous minister Uchiha Kagami tell him and the previous Anbu minister Hatake Sakumo in his spare time that when Yuya first came to power in Konoha Village, the ninja families in the village had joined forces to target him. They found a lot of things for Yuya to do every day. Namikaze Minato didn't notice anything at that time.

but now……

This moment is just like that moment.

Namikaze Minato touched his chin and began to think, what did Minister Kagami say about the problem that the Hokage had to solve when he was eating skewers and drinking with them?

Oh, now I remember, Hokage-sama directly took care of all government affairs.

At the beginning, after Yuya just came to power, the Sarutobi, Shimura, Hyuga and other families would find a lot of troubles for Yuya to deal with every day, such as the one that Namikaze Minato is facing now. The tax return directly calculates every penny clearly for you, but as for whether the total amount is correct, you can calculate it yourself.

Then, Youya directly handled all the tax returns in minutes, and then other families came to him for requests for various data indicators of land measurement and mineral mining.

At that time, there were not so many factories in Konoha Village, and the development of minerals and land was the top priority of the village. In theory, such things should have been attended in person no matter what, right?

As a result, Yuya took a piece of paper and scribbled on it - of course people later knew that it was Hokage Yuya who was using mathematics to calculate various equations - and then came to two numerical conclusions.

The figures of mineral development and land enclosure can be solved without leaving home.

After that, other families caused him a lot of trouble, the most common of which was the various Konoha funds that the various families applied for.

In the end, Youya rejected all the proposals and stated that dividends would be distributed uniformly at the end of the year. Until recently, after all the ninja families gave their clan lands to Youya, Youya cancelled the annual year-end dividends, but in contrast, some factories and real estate in various aspects of Konoha Village were directly transferred to the major ninja families.

Basically, the amount of money distributed this time is about 100 billion taels, but there will be no need to distribute dividends at the end of the year in the future, so it is not a loss in the long run.

Namikaze Minato put away his pensive expression.

Putting aside the current Hokage's ridiculous speed in handling government affairs, if Minato Namikaze wanted to copy homework...

It doesn't seem impossible.

Win over a group and attack a group?

行～

So, Namikaze Minato issued a decree the next day:

The Whirlpool Country plans to change its land tax system in the next three years.

To put it simply, in the future, there will be no tax on some lands, well, not a penny at all.

As for which lands...

Minato Namikaze said that he hasn't made up his mind yet. There are too many lands to choose from at the moment and he doesn't know who to choose.

Some big landowners in the Whirlpool Kingdom were immediately furious.

This is a real benefit.

This is not a fight...

Is that still a human being?
