Five days passed in a flash.
This day, it was finally time for the bidding meetings for Ren Takashi Pharmaceutical Company and Steel Company.
On that day, representatives of the various ninja clans of Konoha and some representatives of the Chamber of Commerce gathered in the conference hall of a three-story building that Uchiha had cleaned and decorated in the past few days.
Even Uzumaki Mito was invited by Ren Takashi to come and keep things under control to prevent the Third Generation from causing trouble.
Sure enough, when they saw Uzumaki Mito coming, the Third Generation and Danzo, who were about to cause trouble, immediately became obedient.
Especially Danzo, he lowered his head and hunched over, not daring to look at Uzumaki Mito's power.
When everyone arrived, the people from Uchiha first took everyone to visit the steelmaking and forging equipment that had been moved to the factory building behind the building.
Let them confirm the authenticity of this new technology.
Afterwards, Tuantuan called everyone to the conference room.
Uchiha Nobuhiko stepped onto the stage, looked around and said, "I think everyone who can come here today knows the purpose of our Uchiha and Senju jointly holding this bidding meeting; so, I won't say any more!"
He introduced the pharmaceutical company first, outlining the value of the nutritional pills and the promise of future breakthroughs with Tsunade and Ren Takashi's research.
Then came the bidding: eight shares, half a share each, blind bid.
After evaluating, the winners were: Ino-Shika-Chō, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, Maeda Chamber of Commerce, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Next came the steel company. Uchiha and Senju reserved 10%, Ren Takashi held 30%, and 20% was offered to the village under the strict condition that it remained village-owned and not the private asset of the Hokage.
The Third Generation, though frustrated, had no choice but to agree publicly.
Then came the bidding for the remaining 30%. Winners: the Daimyo again, Zhu Family Weapon Shop (future Tiantian's family), Kusanagi Clan, Hatake Clan, Ironwood Minerals, and Hyuga.
When Nobuhiko questioned the inclusion of Hyuga in both companies, Ren Takashi explained it was strategic—to tie them in deeper, expose them more, and force them to take sides against the Third.
As the crowd reacted to the announcements, the voices of envy and reflection grew.
Later that day, Uchiha Nobuhiko gathered the clan for a meeting. He had prepared dossiers of commentary and opinion overheard during the event.
After distributing the transcripts to the elders, their expressions turned serious.
Then Nobuhiko said: "These words hit the mark. For too long, reform has stalled because of budget concerns. Now, thanks to Ren Takashi, we have the funds. I want full implementation of the clan school, merit-based welfare, mission hall, and Security Department reform. Any objections?"
One by one, the elders voiced support. The tide had turned.
Uchiha's rebirth had begun.
