Naruto's Journey to Training

Chapter 234: Renovation of the Territory

The next day, small island, west district.

The area originally managed by the Iron Hand.

As one of the worst and most chaotic slums on the island.

Early in the morning, civilians began to get up and get busy.

Everyone had a sad look on their face, as if they were overwhelmed by the heavy pressure of life.

This area is filled with chaos and disorder at all times, making people feel deeply despair and helplessness.

Just having enough food and clothing every day drains away all their energy.

Due to the lack of stable job opportunities and income sources, many people have to travel around to find a way to make a living.

But often in vain. This difficult living condition makes thieves, vagrants and orphans abound.

The sun had clearly risen high in the sky, and its rays were shining on the earth, but this area seemed to be forever buried under a layer of haze, and no warmth from the sun could be felt at all.

The houses on both sides of the street are dilapidated, with peeling walls and crumbling doors and windows.

Garbage is everywhere, emitting a foul smell. Pedestrians are in a hurry on the road.

Thieves take advantage of the crowds to quietly stretch out their dirty hands and steal others' hard-earned property;

The homeless people huddled in the corner, wrapped themselves in rags, shivering to resist the cold;

The orphans were dirty, half-naked, skinny, and looked at the passers-by with dull eyes. Their young faces should have been filled with innocent smiles.

They have long lost the innocence and joy that belong only to children and have become extremely numb.

At this moment, many passers-by suddenly moved aside, revealing a hint of fear.

Because a group of people who don't fit in with the surrounding areas appeared in this neighborhood.

They were wearing clean and tidy black uniforms with a leaf-shaped or fan-shaped logo printed on the back, and long swords that only pirates or samurai had on their waists.

They were marching in a neat queue on this sewage-filled street. The man in the lead had bloodshot eyes and looked like a man-eating demon.

Ordinary civilians who looked at him lowered their heads unconsciously.

Lanshan looked at the chaotic street silently. He had seen more than a handful of thieves and thugs along the way.

Most of them are underage children and some ruffian youths.

He did not stop it immediately.

Because today he came here to announce the sovereignty and rules of the Uchiha people to this area.

It has never been the Uchiha style to punish without warning. If someone still breaks the rules after the Uchiha has announced all the rules, don't blame them for not warning you in advance.

When they reached the end of the street, the team behind Arashiyama was lined up. Among them were the mafia that joined them yesterday, as well as the imperial army that the clan leader had summoned from the ninja world again.

Uchiha Arashiyama looked at the street that had suddenly become quiet, silently sizing up the group of civilians whose eyes were filled with fear.

Arashiyama saw this and a smile appeared on his face.

"You seem to be afraid of us, but today I have good news for you!"

Lanshan's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Everyone's eyes were numb and they didn't react much. Uchiha Arashiyama was stunned when he saw this, and then he realized that this was not the Ninja World after all, but a world that was more depressing than the Ninja World.

“The good news is that the Iron Hand Gang that commands the Western District has been eliminated by us Uchiha.

And now this area will be taken over by me, the Uchiha, and I, the Uchiha, believe in order, so we set new rules!"

Upon hearing the news, many civilians' eyes showed a little fluctuation, and then calmed down.

They have long been accustomed to the frequent changes of mafia in this area.

To them, there is no big difference between being led by the Iron Hand Gang and being led by the Uchiha Gang. The ones who are exploited are just the civilians like them!

Seeing this, Uchiha Arashiyama smiled bitterly in his heart. After all, he still didn't have the inspiring words of his brother Lieyang.

But he was not discouraged. For the Uchiha, as long as they did what the clan leader arranged, everything would come naturally.

This is the experience they have gained from ruling the empire for so long.

"Our rule is that from now on, all petty thefts are not allowed within the area under my command. Once caught by us, you will bear the consequences yourself.

"Second, I, the Uchiha, am going to build a large number of factories in the western area. Anyone who has no livelihood or wants to change his ways can come to work in the factories built by me, the Uchiha.

All treatments are favorable, but once you enter my Uchiha factory, you must obey the factory's arrangements. If anyone dares to disobey, then don't blame me for using severe punishments in troubled times! "

At this point, Uchiha Arashiyama suddenly burst out with a shocking aura!

This momentum was like a surging wave, rapidly sweeping out in all directions with him as the center.

In an instant, the civilians, who had been extremely numb, showed fear in their eyes.

They looked in horror at the young man whose painting style was out of tune with theirs.

Finally, everyone's eyes were no longer unchanged, and fear of power, or rather, oppression of power, appeared.

"Third, we must thoroughly clean up the entire neighborhood! You are human beings, not pigs!

Look at this dirty environment, full of garbage and dirt, emitting a disgusting smell.

How can your life be improved under such harsh conditions? The West District is close to the sea. If it can be well planned and rectified, it may become a prosperous place that people yearn for in the future!

To achieve all this, everyone needs to work together to change the environment around them from now on. There is no savior in the world. If you want to live a better life, you have to pay for it! "

As Uchiha Arashiyama finished speaking, everyone immediately burst into an uproar.

Suddenly a sturdy man walked out of the crowd in a depressed manner.

"Humph, anyone can say nice things, but we have already paid protection money to your mafia, so why do you still force us to do hard labor?"

The sturdy man seemed extremely angry at this time. He did not believe a single word of the nice words that the young man had just said.

Jokingly speaking, if all the mafia members started doing good things, he would rather believe that the sun would rise from the west tomorrow.

"Food included, 500 Baileys a day!"

Just as the sturdy man was about to arouse everyone's anger, he was suddenly stunned and his eyes widened.

"Are you serious?" the sturdy man asked casually, and then wanted to slap himself twice. How could he believe the words of the mafia?

His heart sank when he saw that the civilians who were about to join him in the commotion became hesitant again.

"Of course I take it seriously. Salary will be paid daily!" Uchiha Arashiyama spat out a few words coldly.

The man, whose heart had sunk to the bottom, suddenly lost his composure. What did he hear? Daily pay.

What does this mean? It means that if this new mafia wants to cheat them, it will only last for one day at most.

But for the sake of 500 Baileys' salary, he could easily spend a day to verify the authenticity.

And they also provide food during the day, which can be verified on the same day. No matter how bad the rations are, as long as they can eat enough, they will do it.

The strong man's Adam's apple moved slightly.

"Sir, when will you recruit workers?" the strong man asked hurriedly.

"Right now, anyone can sign up, but there is a prerequisite, that is, within three days, I want to see the neighborhood I manage completely transformed!"

Faced with the Uchiha's financial offensive, these impoverished civilians had no resistance at all. In an instant, the people in the neighborhood, who were originally numb and frightened, surrounded them frantically.

At this moment, the only words in their minds were daily salary and free meals.

After all, cleaning up this neighborhood environment is not something that can be done in one day, so you can earn money by working for a day.

Everyone was afraid that they would be a step behind and would not be able to earn such a generous salary. Five hundred Baileys a day was almost as much as they would be busy for several days.

Just as the crowd was surging, the team behind Lanshan moved, quickly stepped forward, and showed the shining long swords at their waists.

"Everyone listen up, you have ten minutes to line up immediately!

If anyone dares to crowd or push us, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The boy who was moved by the scorching sun yesterday, today wore the uniform issued by the new gang and shouted majestically,

His face was stern, his eyes scanned everyone present sharply, and his voice was as loud as a bell.

The people around were shocked into silence. After all, the mafia still had its deterrent power. Suddenly, the whole chaotic scene began to become orderly.

Everyone began to line up in an orderly manner, fearing that they would be stabbed because of this incident.
