Chapter 343
Haruto Saito had just assumed his new official position. For over ten consecutive days, he had been discussing tax reforms with Koharu Utatane. In addition to that, he had to find time to train Namikaze Minato and Kaga, as well as explore the Flying Thunder God Technique with Namikaze Minato!
Occasionally, Haruto Saito would visit Terumichi to learn ninjutsu from him.
He was incredibly busy, getting only six hours of sleep each day.
Meanwhile, the land acquisition and demolition efforts were progressing in an orderly manner. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had not been assigned any missions recently and were overseeing the entire process. All eight districts had been settled—no matter whose property it was, even the Hyuga Clan had no choice but to sell their assets!
The Hyuga Clan had been so quick to concede largely because they were unaware that this was Haruto Saito's plan.
They had no idea why Tsunade and the others were purchasing land!
However, rumors suggested that the land acquisition was an initiative from Konoha's high command and was related to Konoha's war strategy. Though it was just a rumor, some people believed it. Otherwise, where would Tsunade and the others get so much money to buy several districts?
While the land purchases were finalized, some people had yet to move out according to the agreements. Many had nowhere to relocate, and although they had received a substantial amount of money, Konoha Village was only so large. With thousands of households moving simultaneously, there weren't enough affordable houses available.
Thus, Haruto Saito arranged for temporary housing for them.
Out of the eight selected districts, two had already been demolished in the past ten days, and large-scale construction had begun!
The resettlement housing was located in the two outermost districts.
