For the factory's first product, Yuuki chose phosphate fertilizer.
It wasn't that Yuuki had a particular fondness for it, but rather that his amber purifying pot contained a large amount of phosphate ore.
The Ninja World had been using phosphate ore for many years, but mostly for fabric dyeing and medicinal purposes.
From Kabuto's description, Yuuki learned that phosphate fertilizer primarily increased yield and made crops fuller, so he decisively chose it.
Under Kabuto's training, in less than a week, the factory began to operate, albeit with some initial stumbles.
After all, the workers didn't need to know the principles or the 'why'; they only needed to know 'how' to do it.
Once the factory started operations, Yuuki left Konoha.
As for what Yuuki went out to do, of course, it was to make connections; Yuuki visited various nobles, both big and small, in the Land of Fire and began to promote his products.
There was no other way; the land was all in their hands, and Konoha was almost entirely supported by the taxes collected by these nobles.
If he only wanted to promote his fertilizer, Yuuki could have just stayed around Konoha.
The reason he traveled across the entire Land of Fire was mainly for future cooperation.
This was Yuuki's first venture in two lifetimes, and while his goal wasn't to make money, to tie the Konoha Villagers to his war chariot, he needed to provide ample funds.
Currently, Yuuki wasn't short on money; when Kumogakure plundered those items, even Dodai thought Kumogakure was about to rise, which showed how immense the wealth was.
Ultimately, Yuuki almost completely drained Kumogakure, and after compensating for the losses suffered by the Land of Fire, he still had more than half of the wealth left.
He had money now, but he couldn't keep relying on his old capital; he still needed to generate income.
Yuuki honestly wasn't sure if his factory would succeed.
After all, he hadn't truly engaged in business in either of his two lives, and the Uchiha Clan's original industries were mostly geared towards Ninja.
Yuuki felt he had no say in what the ordinary civilian market in the Ninja World was like.
So, this trip was mainly to make good connections with those who controlled wealth and get them to support him generously.
As for why he only toured the Land of Fire this time and not the Land of Lightning or the Land of Water?
It was because the products Yuuki was currently launching and planned to launch were all good things.
Since they were good things, it was best to promote them in the Land of Fire.
As for other countries in the Ninja World, Yuuki would heavily promote the entertainment industry; they just needed idols, singing and dancing for good health.
Later, when the Ninja World version of television came out, that would be the time to focus on other countries.
At that time, he could promote something like the 'Konoha Dream' throughout the Ninja World, bringing the light of hope to the entire Ninja World!
It was unexpectedly smooth from the start.
Yuuki's networking trip went very well, as many nobles had suffered heavy losses due to the previous Kumogakure invasion.
Don't let it seem like Kumogakure only plundered the northeastern region of the Land of Fire.
But!
That was only for commoners; nobles had properties everywhere, and those piles of ore never belonged to the commoners!
The nobles, who had mentally prepared themselves for significant losses, were later pleasantly surprised.
Under Yuuki's leadership, Konoha defeated Kumogakure and recovered the losses.
Although Yuuki ultimately kept the ore, he paid for it; why did they mine the ore in the first place? Wasn't it to convert it into money?
Regardless of Yuuki's current strength, based solely on his previous actions, the great nobles welcomed Yuuki wholeheartedly.
Logically, Yuuki had only compensated them at the original price, and these nobles hadn't earned a single penny, so they shouldn't have been so polite to Yuuki.
However, everything is subject to comparison.
Yuuki was so popular now, all thanks to his peers!
Yes, that's right.
He was talking about Hiruzen Sarutobi!
It wasn't the first or second time there had been a war; in previous wars, these nobles always contributed money, food, and supplies.
In the end, they got nothing but the title of 'victor'.
Compared horizontally with nobles in other great nations, they contributed less and, in the end, managed to recover some of their losses.
The nobles of the Land of Fire suffered!
They shed the most blood in every war, and in the end, they couldn't recover a single copper coin!
But Yuuki changed all that; the blood they had lost could be recovered, and this wasn't just a small recovery.
It was a full recovery!
After the war, not only did they not lose anything, but the ore was directly converted into money; if you really calculated it, you could even say they made a small profit!
They had never fought such a comfortable war in this lifetime!
The Military Police Force, Uchiha Tomoki, was worth befriending!
Therefore, when Yuuki mentioned a new product that could increase crop yields and asked for their support, they all readily agreed.
They wanted as much of this good stuff as they could get.
After one round, even with Yuuki strictly limiting purchases, the orders for his small factory, which he had before he set out, were already backed up for several years.
It wasn't that these nobles were all foolish and rich.
The key was that Yuuki was currently the most dazzling young man in the Ninja World!
What if the product wasn't effective? Was it really the food yield that the nobles valued?
What they valued was clearly Yuuki himself.
Until the next Great Ninja War broke out and the Ninja World's pattern changed again, Yuuki's popularity would not decrease.
This was the benefit of Yuuki spending a large sum of money to spread the video of his battle against Kumogakure throughout the Ninja World.
This was the benefit of prestige!
Originally, Yuuki's goal was partly to satisfy his vanity and partly to boost Konoha's reputation, preventing it from plummeting due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's failure.
He hadn't expected it to bring such a significant bonus to Yuuki in the business sector as well.
Yuuki now understood why, in his previous life, some people could get a large group of capitalists scrambling to give them money with just a few PPT slides.
Yuuki was originally completely ignorant about business, relying entirely on various random pieces of information he had come across online in his previous life.
Initially, he was very cautious, opting for small investments to test the waters.
After going out for a tour, he discovered that making money was so simple!
In that case, there was no need to be hesitant anymore; he could invest on a large scale in Konoha, build factories on a large scale, and recruit workers on a large scale.
After all, if Yuuki were to dig up a few clods of earth now and say that this soil could increase food yield and reduce pests, he would probably still find buyers and sell them for money.
With such unique conditions at hand, what was there to hesitate about? Just go for it.
Of course, Yuuki wouldn't be so heartless as to actually dig up dirt to sell, nor would he truly get carried away and think he was omnipotent.
Only when everyone benefits is it truly good.
After touring for about three months, Yuuki was ready to return to the village.
It wasn't that Yuuki walked slowly, nor that the Land of Fire was too vast.
It was simply that everyone was too enthusiastic.
Good people were everywhere in the Ninja World!
