Later, Yuya recovered, and Konoha's year-end summary concluded. After the thrilling incident where everyone was dragged by Senju Tobirama to be used like workhorses, the families finally understood a crucial lesson. As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise, and Youya truly excels in his field, a fact they now acknowledge.

Traveling less is no longer an option they can afford. This realization is now shared by all family members, and it's not merely because of the hundreds of millions in real money earned this year. The large families received hundreds of millions, the medium-sized ones tens of millions, and even the smallest got 100 million. Undoubtedly, Youya's position as the heir is as stable as an old dog. As long as Yuya doesn't commit an act as severe as rebelling against the village, he is destined to be Konoha's third Hokage. The families in Konoha, who have benefited from him, will certainly be his strongest supporters when the time comes.

The 24th year of Konoha has begun under these circumstances. Yuya was also ready to implement his initial suggestion: to have the three ninjas feign competition, which was essentially a Chunin Exam for the five nations—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. Senju Tobirama was initially shocked by this suggestion, wondering how Yuya could be so brilliant.

Upon deeper reflection, Tobirama realized the numerous advantages. Not only would it showcase the strength of Konoha's next generation, but it would also demonstrate Konoha village's development. This would inevitably lead to increased respect from other villages for Konoha.

At the start of the year, when delegates from other countries came to discuss new year collaborations, Youya presented his idea, and Senju Tobirama agreed, instructing them to return and explain their intentions. If no issues arose, the event would be scheduled for June and July of the following year, with Konoha covering all expenses. Other ninja villages agreed readily, eager to assess the quality of Konoha's next generation. Even Kumogakure, typically at odds with Konoha, seemed apologetic, eager to collaborate for mutual financial gain.

After a year of mutual trade cooperation with Konoha, Yunyin Village stabilized domestic prices, even though it required sacrificing hundreds of thousands of livestock. Nonetheless, it was worth it as no one in Yunyin Village was now starving. The Third Raikage felt content and looked forward to visiting Konoha the following year. Konoha, of course, had no intention of playing dirty.

Before that, however...

"Boom!"

"Huh?"

A sudden explosion in the forest west of Konoha Village caused many villagers to wonder. Yet, they remained unafraid, given Senju Tobirama's presence. In the forest, Senju Tobirama stood with his mouth agape at the scene before him. Yuya smiled slightly at Tobirama, asserting that while ninjas were the primary combat force in the ninja world, he believed chakra held the true power.

Yuya grinned at the smoking barrel beside him, the product of the research institute's recent efforts: a Chakra cannon.

Senju Tobirama, silent, then pressed Yuya's head with relief, acknowledging that he had underestimated Yuya's understanding of the importance of force. Yuya, of course, understood this well, recognizing the truth that power lies within the range of a cannon.

Senju Tobirama admitted that Yuya's achievement could completely alter the ninja world's dynamics, with ninjas potentially becoming mere energy sources for such powerful devices. However, he was satisfied, understanding that relying on a Senju Hashirama to maintain Konoha's peace every generation was unrealistic. This technology was different; it was a true cornerstone for Konoha's strength.

Following this, Tobirama assured the villagers there was nothing to fear, and calm was restored. Later that year, Yuya's factory produced the first-generation cassette player. Though it seemed a minor step to many, it reinforced Yuya's understanding of the world's physical laws, confirming that both sound and light could be stored. This further solidified his direction for the future.

In the same year, the first-generation black-and-white camera was successfully developed, marking the 24th year of Konoha as the dawn of a new era in literature and art. The prototypes of many future electronic devices emerged during this time. At the year's end, Yuya distributed year-end red envelopes to the villagers, filled not with money but with snacks like candies and biscuits, which delighted Konoha's residents.

Additionally, Yuya completed the establishment of the Radio and Television Station, appointing Senju Tobirama as the first director. Although televisions had not yet been built, they were on the horizon. As the one responsible for future preparations, Yuya couldn't wait for all the equipment to be ready before setting up a management organization. The management agency had to come first, followed by the corresponding projects.

Throughout the year, Senju Tobirama occasionally visited the Ninja School, where he also served as principal. However, as Hokage, he couldn't remain at the school full-time, given his more pressing responsibilities. Despite the outward tranquility, the year was rife with underlying tensions.

At the year-end meeting, Senju Tobirama publicly announced to all Konoha families that he would resign as Hokage the following year, in the 25th year of Konoha, and his chosen successor would be Yuya. From Konoha 17 to the end of Konoha 24, Yuya had gradually assumed power from Tobirama. In seven years, Konoha had transformed, quickly surpassing other countries' villages, particularly Kumogakure in the Land of Thunder, to become the wealthiest ninja village. This was evident to all present, especially the second generation of their families who had fought alongside Tobirama for five years.

Yuya felt his heart race, knowing Tobirama would make this announcement, yet still feeling nervous at the moment, worrying about potential objections from the families. Ultimately, none of the family heads raised their hands to disagree. Many glanced at the Sarutobi and Shimura clan leaders after Tobirama spoke, but the Sarutobi leader simply closed his eyes, feigning ignorance. As for the Shimura leader, everyone knew Shimura Danzo was the true decisionCertainly! Here's the revised text with improved grammar and clarity:

Later, Yuya recovered, and Konoha's year-end summary came to an end. After the thrilling incident where everyone was dragged by Senju Tobirama to be used as labor, the families finally understood the importance of specialties within the art industry. Youya excelled in this industry, and they acknowledged this fact. The realization dawned upon them that they could not afford to travel less.

This understanding was now accepted by all family members, not merely because of the hundreds of millions of real money Youya earned this year. Larger families received hundreds of millions, smaller ones received tens of millions, and the smallest received 100 million. Consequently, Youya's position as the heir was as stable as a rock. As long as Yuya refrained from any major rebellion against the village, he was destined to become the third Hokage of Konoha. The families who benefited from him would undoubtedly be his strongest supporters.

The 24th year of Konoha arrived in this atmosphere. Yuya was already poised to implement his first suggestion: let the three ninjas pretend to compete in a Chunin Exam for the five countries of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Thunder.

Senju Tobirama was astounded by this idea. "I truly want to crack open your head and see what's inside," he thought. "How can you be such a genius?" Upon careful consideration, Tobirama realized the myriad of benefits this plan offered. It would showcase the strength of Konoha's next generation and the village's development, enhancing Konoha's value among others.

Therefore, at the beginning of the year, when missions from other countries arrived to discuss new-year cooperation, Youya proposed his idea. Senju Tobirama agreed and requested them to return and explain their intentions, scheduling the event for June and July next year, with Konoha covering all expenses. Other ninja villages readily agreed, eager to assess Konoha's next generation's quality. Even Kumogakure, typically at odds with Konoha, was eager to cooperate for mutual financial benefit.

Within a year, Yunyin Village stabilized domestic prices through a mutual trading cooperation with Konoha, albeit at the cost of hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, and other meat livestock. However, the payoff was worth it, as no one in Yunyin Village faced hunger anymore. The Third Raikage felt content and looked forward to visiting Konoha next year, confident that Konoha would not risk playing tricks on such a large scale.

Konoha indeed had no intention of deceit. However, before proceeding, a sudden explosion in the forest west of Konoha Village startled the villagers. Despite the confusion, there was no panic, as Senju Tobirama's presence reassured them.

In the forest, Senju Tobirama stood amazed at the scene before him. Yuya smiled and said, "While the main fighting power of the ninja world is ninjas, I believe it should be chakra." He gestured to the smoking barrel beside him, the latest project of the scientific research institute: the Chakra Cannon.

Senju Tobirama was silent, then pressed Yuya's head with relief. "I always thought you would only make Konoha rich and powerful, not strong in terms of force. Now I realize you've always known that force is the root of everything."

Yuya smiled, well aware that the saying "truth lies within the range of a cannon" was true. Tobirama sighed, acknowledging that Yuya's achievement could change the ninja world's landscape. In the future, ninjas might merely recharge this powerful weapon, but Tobirama was satisfied. After all, he couldn't expect a Senju Hashirama to protect Konoha's peace in every generation. This technology was a true cornerstone for Konoha's strength.

Later, Tobirama assured the villagers there was no cause for alarm, and calm was restored.

In the 24th year of Konoha, Yuya's factory produced the first-generation cassette player. It was a small step for the world, but it confirmed the physical rules of this world for Yuya, affirming that sound and light could be stored. This certainty bolstered his future direction.

That same year, the first-generation black-and-white camera was successfully developed, marking the start of a literary and artistic era in Konoha. The prototypes of many future electronic products emerged this year.

At the end of the 24th year, Yuya distributed year-end gifts to everyone in the village. Although he didn't give out money, the snacks, such as candies and biscuits, were a delightful surprise for the Konoha villagers.

Additionally, Youya established the Radio and Television Station, appointing Senju Tobirama as the first director. Although the TV hadn't been built yet, Youya, as the person in charge, couldn't wait for all equipment to be ready before creating this management organization. Management needed to be in place before corresponding projects emerged.

Senju Tobirama occasionally visited the Ninja School, remembering his role as school principal. However, as Hokage, he couldn't be there all the time, given his other significant responsibilities.

Despite the peaceful surface, an undercurrent ran through the year. At the year-end meeting, Senju Tobirama publicly announced his intention to resign as Hokage in the 25th year of Konoha, naming Yuya as his successor.

Yuya had managed Konoha's power since Konoha 17, and by the end of Konoha 24, the village had transformed. Within seven years, Konoha had rapidly surpassed other villages, particularly Kumogakure, becoming the wealthiest ninja village. Everyone present recognized this achievement.

Yuya's heart raced with anticipation, knowing this moment would come, yet still feeling nervous. He feared some families might object, but none of the patriarchs did. Although many glanced at the Sarutobi and Shimura clan leaders, the Sarutobi leader simply closed his eyes, pretending not to notice, and the Shimura clan deferred to Shimura Danzo, who had faced criticism for previous decisions.

Last year, Shimura Danzo had mishandled a factory, resulting in no financial gain for the Shimura clan, only receiving candies and biscuits like other villagers. This year, however, Youya allocated 10% of the beverage factory's net profit to the Shimura family, over 200 million taels. If Danzo objected now, the Shimura clan would likely be dissatisfied with him.

Family forces living in groups naturally support each other, but when it comes to profit distribution, everyone questions why one person should receive the largest share, even if they are the patriarch. The Shimura clan, having received nothing last year, now saw the potential for over a billion in two years, prompting support for Youya.

The Uchiha clan had some concerns, desiring benefits akin to the Sarutobi or Hinata clans. Though Yuya remained silent on land distribution, Uchiha Kagami's loyalty to Yuya when he had little to offer bore fruit. Uchiha Kagami's unwavering support during the water plant's construction led to significant profits for the Uchiha clan, although the shares were under Uchiha Kagami's name. Despite this, Uchiha Kagami generously allowed his clan to collect dividends.

Meanwhile, the Nara clan, despite past losses, now reaped benefits, albeit smaller than Sarutobi and Hinata's. None of the family patriarchs objected to Youya, who understood the art of sharing wealth. Objecting would mean losing dividends next year, so agreement was the better choice.

Thus, Senju Tobirama confirmed the decision for Yuya to succeed him as the third Hokage in the 25th year of Konoha.

In a Naruto movie, Raikage, a formidable figure, wields a cannon to destroy the moon. While this cannon wasn't featured in the Fourth Ninja War, it was understood to be hidden. Since Kumogakure could produce such a cannon, Konoha's development of a similar cannon was plausible.
