Although he was delayed a bit by Mikoto Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha, it wasn't a big deal.
Then, after leaving the train station, Haruki went to the Finance Department of the Xia Organization.
At the first general meeting held earlier, he mentioned creating a new bank.
The Infrastructure Investment Bank established during the journey to Sunagakure had already been put into use, and currently, its only customer was The Third Kazekage.
Haruki's second - intended customer was Nagato and the other two from The Akatsuki Organization.
However, their organization was in its early stages and didn't need the bank's services for the time being.
Therefore, this bank was quite idle.
The construction of the new bank was particularly important.
He called it the Konoha Savings Bank.
Haruki formulated relevant regulations according to the standards of banks from his previous life.
After weeks of construction, a special underground money - lending house was established in Konoha.
Fortunately, there was such an underground money - lending house, so it didn't catch Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention.
No, Haruki suspected that he simply didn't understand the function of a bank.
People in this world only knew about borrowing when it came to money - lending houses or banks.
But besides lending and saving money, banks could do many other things, like regulating the economy.
Currently, Haruki's bank only had two functions: lending and saving.
The loans were different from those of the underground money - lending house. It wasn't usury, and it tended to focus on commercial loans.
It was a bit similar to the Infrastructure Investment Bank, but one served individuals, and the other served organizations or regions.
As for saving money, it was self - evident.
Haruki planned to introduce electronic payment.
At least in Konoha, it would work.
Thanks to Haruki and Tsunade's prestige, hardly anyone would doubt their credibility. Also, no one would think they would run away with the money.
And electronic payment wasn't difficult.
As long as Haruki's network research group developed a local area network, it could be implemented.
Once people got used to electronic payment, using paper money or wallets would seem extremely troublesome.
In his previous life, Haruki hadn't carried cash for over a decade and only needed his phone when going out.
Of course, the appearance of mobile phones would take a long time.
But bank cards could achieve a similar payment effect.
Haruki took a stroll around the Konoha Savings Bank.
Currently, there weren't many customers.
Money was equally important in every world.
People wouldn't entrust their money to a bank for safekeeping until they fully trusted it.
But time would prove everything.
Haruki's solution was simple. One was to offer interest because it was obvious that money could generate more money. The other was to set an example. He planned to find a few ninja clans to make highly - visible deposits.
After instructing the members of the Finance Department on his strategy, Haruki headed to the next place.
A Happy Union of Gold and Jade
But he didn't need to worry about it, and no special strategy was needed either.
After Haruki and Tsunade's engagement ceremony, A Happy Union of Gold and Jade was well - known in Konoha.
Especially the same - style wedding ring as Tsunade's had sold very well.
Along with that, the sales of other gold and diamonds had also increased.
Now, A Happy Union of Gold and Jade was one of the main sources of income for the Xia Organization.
Haruki left satisfied.
He found that once the Xia Organization reached a certain level, he only needed to steer the direction.
It was like he was the navigator of a ship.
He no longer needed to worry about most things.
Haruki thought it over and sought out Tomomi Koki.
It wasn't that he needed to publish any novels.
It was estimated that his *Sword Art Online* and *Slam Dunk* would remain popular for a long time.
Moreover, he had hired three more authors. Although their skills were far inferior, they were at least among the best in the ninja world.
Haruki wanted Tomomi Koki to make a movie.
Not an action movie that could be filmed by just two people, but a war movie with artistic processing.
He planned to bring the first open - air movie to the villagers of Konoha in the name of eulogizing the ninja heroes of The Second Great Ninja War.
Well, it would be free.
Haruki's aim was to boost Tsunade's popularity.
In the previous war, Tsunade became famous mainly thanks to Hanzo, the Demi - God.
Most people only knew her as one of the Legendary Sannin and a medical ninja.
But what was her actual strength?
Few people really had an idea.
One reason was that they were far from Tsunade, and the other was that Tsunade never promoted herself.
Haruki wanted to use at least one - third of the movie's content to show Tsunade's deeds of saving the injured and treating the dying.
Doctors were always respected.
However, in the ninja world where the strong ruled, most people's attention was focused on ninjas like the Legend of the White Fang and the Golden Flash.
After Haruki told Tomomi Koki about it, he wasn't too surprised.
Movies and cinemas were not new things.
These extremely out - of - place things, like computers, coexisted in the Naruto world.
But Haruki's advantage was that he could mobilize ninjas and draw on his past life experiences.
He was confident that he could create a war movie with amazing special effects.
After all, ninjutsu was real.
Suddenly, Haruki thought that this kind of movie would be quite popular in the Land of Fire.
People outside the ninja villages rarely saw powerful ninjas, so they must be curious.
"Any other requirements?" Tomomi Koki asked after jotting down the plot.
"One last thing, the actress playing Tsunade must fit the role. You know what I mean, right?" Haruki patted Tomomi Koki on the shoulder.
"Fit the role?" Tomomi Koki was taken aback. "It's almost impossible to find someone who can play Princess Tsunade as well."
"Anyway, try to find someone pretty."
Haruki knew what the audience wanted. Who wouldn't like a beautiful big sister who could save lives?
In his past life, when he played online games and did dungeons, he always hoped to meet a skilled female healer.
Tsunade's popularity should increase after this movie.
The next few years of peace would be her advantage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would never expect that besides powerful ninjas, other types of ninjas could also have a large following.
Based on the main factors for Hokage selection, Tsunade had everything she needed.
Strength, popularity, and connections.
She just needed an opportunity to become the next Hokage.
Thinking about the opportunity, Haruki returned home.
Tsunade wasn't there.
Since she was preparing for her honeymoon and wanted to organize the Medical Team well, she must be very busy these days.
Speaking of opportunities, Mikoto's performance today gave him an inspiration.
Is it not reasonable for me to stage the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident since she can recreate the Night of the clan massacre?
Coincidentally, Mito Uzumaki's life is coming to an end.
And Haruki has a little thought about the Nine - Tailed Fox.
He plans to snatch half of the Nine - Tailed Fox for some fun.
Haruki withdrew his thoughts and lay on the sofa for a while.
Life without a mobile phone and computer is a bit boring.
He pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the study.
Sitting on the newly replaced office chair, Haruki picked up the roster of the Ninja Academy.
It's early August now, and the summer holidays are coming soon.
He needs to formulate the so - called social survey for his class students.
Among them, Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake are his key concerns.
They are both quite important plot characters in the original work and are extremely talented.
Kakashi is a nice guy, but his experiences are like those of an ill - fated person. Except for his two main character apprentices, his father, teacher, and teammates died one after another.
As for Obito... Haruki frowned. He really couldn't understand his thoughts.
He was disappointed with the whole world just because the girl he had affection for died.
He directly or indirectly caused the deaths of countless people.
Including his own teacher and clan members. He's simply poisonous.
And creating the so - called infinite peaceful world of Infinite Tsukuyomi without war.
Is he acting like in The Matrix here?
Haruki couldn't help but complain. He's just a severe middle - schooler and a mental patient who hasn't received proper education.
But since the things haven't happened yet, there's no need to send him for reincarnation and restart now.
Since he's still young and can be redeemed, Haruki definitely has to help this guy with Personality Correction.
