Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Hokage's office
"Swish"

Senju Hisa went about her daily work as usual. Under her careful and efficient review, thick stacks of documents were quickly reduced to smaller volumes. Her efficiency was extremely fast, living up to her reputation as a model worker in Konoha.

"call"

After finishing all the remaining work from yesterday, she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her sore shoulders, and a pair of beautiful figures flashed through her mind.

How about we go for another massage tonight?
"Bang Bang Bang!"

"Come in."

"Lady Hishin, these are today's documents. Please take a look."

"How come there are still so many?"

Looking at the mountain of documents in Sarutobi Toru's hands, Senju Hisama's face, which had just relaxed for a second, instantly turned ashen. She remembered that when she was the secretary, Konoha didn't have this much work, did it?
"Most of them are complaints."

The documents sent to the Hokage's office have all been pre-screened by his subordinates, filtering out a lot of junk information. Otherwise, even if Senju Hisama used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, she would have a hard time completing this workload.

What complaint?

Senju Hisami's expression instantly fell upon glancing at the documents on top of her head.
[The Shimura clan has filed a formal complaint alleging that illegal individuals maliciously set off fireworks and firecrackers, causing permanent damage to the insemination function of breeding pigs at the Shimura pig farm, resulting in direct economic losses amounting to millions of taels of silver.]

It's just that the breeding boar got scared by firecrackers and became limp.
Why would such a trivial matter be brought up to me?
She spends her days strategizing on major events such as international affairs and overseas wars; dealing with such trivial civil disputes would be a waste of her precious time.

"From now on, you can handle these simple, straightforward, and logically clear civil disputes yourselves."

Tossing the unremarkable document aside, Senju Hisami gave a disapproving instruction.

"But."

Sarutobi Toru hesitated for a moment, then pushed the complaint back to Senju Hisama.

"Why don't you take a look at the person being complained against first?"

Senju Hisa, her face full of righteous indignation, waved her hand impatiently. But judging from Sarutobi Toru's expression, the culprit must be someone of great importance. This branch secretary wants to see who dares to disregard the laws of Konoha.

"Even the Sage of Six Paths has to abide by the rules in Konoha. Huh?"

However, before she could finish speaking, her peripheral vision caught sight of the black-and-white photo of the girl in the picture of the person being complained against. Her tone immediately changed, and her expression became serious, as if she were considering a new strategy.

"I feel there's more to this than meets the eye. I'll leave the items here for now and make a decision after I've investigated."

"And these are all complaints related to this matter."

Seeing Senju Hisama's drastic change in attitude, Sarutobi Toru slammed the mountain of documents in his hand onto the table with a bang.
Besides the terrified boars, a large portion of the residents' windows and roof tiles were shattered by the aftershocks of the fireworks.

"These...are all of them?"

Seeing so many complaint letters against his sister, Senju Hishima's face was extremely ugly. That bastard curly-haired guy didn't even watch where he was going. Just how big of a firecracker did Itama set to make such a commotion?

Didn't you see the fireworks last night?

Sarutobi Toru scratched his head in confusion. Logically speaking, everyone in the village should have witnessed that unforgettable fireworks display last night.
"Last night... I was working overtime at home last night."

Recalling her erotic experience at the club last night, Senju Hisa shook her head awkwardly, realizing that the soundproofing in the private room was indeed quite good.

"The noise was incredible; it exploded all night long, and the golden beams of light illuminated the night as if it were daytime."

Speaking of last night's golden fireworks, Sarutobi Toru's face was full of emotion.
I never expected Grandpa Yin's family to be so powerful. They can set off such celebratory fireworks so easily. Even the fireworks set off in the capital of the Land of Fire during the New Year are not as grand as his.

"Wait, where's Uchiha Gin?"

After carefully reviewing the ins and outs of the fireworks incident, Senju Hisami's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

The fireworks were set off at Uchiha Gin's house, so why wasn't it the curly-haired guy who got the complaint?

"When the people from Shimura Pig Farm arrived at the scene, they only found Uchiha Itako, who confessed to setting off the fireworks."

At that time, Lao Yin, who was almost blown into a cell nucleus by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation, was floating in the atmosphere, while Xiao Guang, who was trying to break up the fight, took Yue Ji to another place to calm down. Only Senju Itama was left to clean up the mess at the scene, so he naturally became the only suspect.

"Alright, you can go now."

Gently rubbing her aching temples, Senju Hisa gestured for Sarutobi Tetsu to step back. She needed time to think about how to help her sister clean up this mess.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

No sooner had Sarutobi Toru left than there was another knock on the office door. Senju Hisa, who was considering whether to use village funds to settle the matter, frowned. She hated having her train of thought interrupted at crucial moments.

"Come in."

Senju Hishima's heart tightened as she watched the man with the enormous buttocks walk in through the door.
"Are you here to complain?"

"what?"

Danzo, who had fresh intelligence in hand, was completely bewildered upon hearing this. It was never others who complained about him; when did it become his turn to complain?
"What do you want?"

Senju Hisa, noticing the surprise on Danzo's face, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the other party wasn't after her impotent stud.

Where is the teacher?

Danzo did not answer immediately, but instead looked around, searching for Tobirama Senju.
“My father worked the night shift last night and is resting during the day today.”

To avoid suspicion, Senju Hisana, who played two roles, started a shift system to avoid the peak period when her clones needed to recharge.

"Is that so?"

"Just tell me if there's anything you need."

Ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been sidelined, chose to return home to have a second child, the Hokage Building has once again been taken over by the Senju clan. From top to bottom, apart from Toru Sarutobi, all the core departments are now staffed by former Senju members.

"This is the information that Jiraiya just sent back."

Danzo hesitated for a moment at first, but after remembering that he had already betrayed his country, he immediately and respectfully presented the intelligence he was holding.
"The Land of Rain?"

Seeing Danzo nod, Senju Hisami raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that the white-haired brat to be so efficient, finding the culprit who framed Konoha so quickly.
"This"

However, as the information was gradually revealed, Senju Hisama's expression grew increasingly solemn, eventually even showing a hint of horror.
Can you guarantee the authenticity of this information?

Senju Hisana slowly raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her ruby-like eyes. The first half of the report was fairly normal, except that Jiraiya had discovered the true culprit who framed Konoha.

But after capturing the imposter, the style of the intelligence became fantastical, seemingly the product of Jiraiya's imagination after drinking fake alcohol.

A mysterious monk unlike any I've ever heard of.

Madara Uchiha suddenly appeared.

A self-proclaimed "big brother" who isn't actually a big brother. "I trust my men."

Danzo nodded seriously. Even though Jiraiya could be a bit abstract sometimes, Hiruko, who was with him, definitely wouldn't.
"Iwagakure, I've long suspected they're behind this."

Setting aside the absurd plot in the latter half, Senju Hisami tapped her fingers lightly on the table, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"If we don't teach them a lesson, won't everyone dare to shit on our Konoha's head in the future?"

"what do you mean?"

"Elder Danzo, prepare yourselves. It's time to let them know the consequences of offending Konoha."

Senju Hishima's words revealed a fighting spirit, and Danzo's expression brightened slightly. This was clearly an opportunity for him to prove himself.
If he can successfully command troops to make a name for himself on the battlefield, his reputation will definitely skyrocket. At that time, if you, Monkey, can sit in the position of Hokage, why can't I, Danzo, sit in it?

"What about Hiruzen?"

Although he was overjoyed inside, Danzo still feigned a frown and put on a troubled expression.

"The third generation is currently busy raising children and has no time to spare, so this matter will be entirely entrusted to you. I hope you will not disappoint your father."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision to raise his child was genuine, as was his perseverance and humiliation. After being sidelined by Tobirama Senju's series of attacks, he lived a secluded life, publicly claiming to be pregnant with his second child. In reality, he was using the pretext of caring for his newborn to quietly accumulate power, preparing to pull off a major heist and regain his prestige.

Senju Hisa knew that her disciple was no ordinary person who would willingly degenerate, but she was currently using the Uchiha clan to temporarily suppress the Shinobi Alliance.

Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi can pull off some major upset to bring down the powerful Uchiha clan and eliminate one of his biggest allies, he will have no choice but to submit and be at her beck and call.

"Yes!"

Danzo eagerly accepted the order. The team he had painstakingly built finally had a chance to prove its worth. He swore to the heavens that in this battle, the fame of the Great Root would resound throughout the entire ninja world.

almost at the same time,

Amegakure Village
"Lady Hydrangea, the interrogation results are in!"

Hydrangea, who was fiddling with a steel prosthetic limb in the secret laboratory, slowly turned her head, looked at the excited Rain Ninja outside the door, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Who is the murderer?"

"Iwagakure".

Creak~
After gently placing the last piece of the puzzle onto the sleeping man before her, Hydrangea nodded in satisfaction, her eyes sharpening.
"Pass down the order: the war of revenge begins."

"Snapped!"

At the border of the Land of Earth, Onoki, his face ashen, withdrew his trembling hand from the undamaged granite desk, his voice filled with clearly audible anger.

"A bunch of fools, not only were they captured by the Rain Ninja, but they were also spared."

"It's all my responsibility."

Xiao Zi, kneeling below, hung his head. He was also feeling bad. His wife's older brother was in that squad, and now he might not be able to get into his wife's bed for the next few years.

"Third Hokage, now is not the time for accountability. It's only a matter of time before the Rain Village finds out the truth. We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

The man standing behind Onoki had a furrowed brow, but a hint of schadenfreude lurked in his eyes.

Having made a serious mistake in his work with the Blood Pool Clan, he had been waiting for a chance to redeem himself. However, he never expected that an even more serious error by a colleague would come even sooner than his opportunity.

"What are you still thinking about? Prepare for war. All that hiding and concealing has been for nothing. That damned Shennong, if I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces."

Onoki was furious. He initially planned to use a blitzkrieg strategy to wipe out Amegakure, but the remnant of the Sky Village seized the opportunity to offer a plan that would kill two birds with one stone: not only would it demoralize Amegakure, but it would also drag neighboring Konoha into the mess.

He must have lost his mind to think that a stranger's words made so much sense.

"Isn't it because you, Third Generation, believed that quack doctor's slander? Wouldn't it have been better to have beaten him earlier?"

Upon hearing that a battle was about to begin, the gloom on Xiao Zi's face vanished instantly, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"But his medical skills are indeed quite good."

Onoki's face darkened upon hearing this. While Komurasaki's words made sense, Shennong had indeed helped him repair his lost kidneys and restore his virility.

"Actually, starting the battle late wasn't without its benefits; at least we learned about Emperor Knight's warning in advance."

Han stepped forward again, not forgetting to claim credit for himself.

"That's right, Xiao Zi and Han, remember this: when dealing with ordinary ninjas, never use the power of the Knight System, understand?"

Onoki nodded. He had personally witnessed Decade's terrifying power; ordinary Tailed Beast Riders were utterly powerless against him.
“I can easily flatten Rain Village with my strength.”

Xiao Zi sneered as he wiped his nose. Even without the Knight System, he could still draw upon the power of the Four-Tails, making ordinary ninjas like ants in his presence.

Seeing his blatant disregard for his opponent, Onoki frowned slightly.
"Don't be careless. The enemy we are facing may not be just Amegakure."

The next day,

The Iwa ninja stationed on the border launched the first attack, brazenly assaulting the Amegakure outposts guarding the border before dawn. The long-brewing Amegakure revenge war had officially begun.
After their initial attack failed, the Rain Ninja, who were well-prepared, quickly regrouped and launched a counterattack against the Iwa Ninja. In a short time, the entire Land of Rain became a battlefield for the two.

Amegakure Village
The shadow of war has fallen. Ordinary people are insignificant in the face of the ninja's war. Although Amegakure has not yet been affected by the war, many civilians have already begun to evacuate.

The authorities tacitly approved of this self-preservation behavior and did not obstruct it. Instead, they opened a green channel to allow civilians to evacuate to safer areas, and many foreign residents were also arranged to travel to their own countries by carriage.

Standing in front of the barbecue restaurant, Jiraiya, carrying a simple bag, looked longingly at his workplace where he had worked for many years, his eyes filled with a sense of melancholy.

"Boss lady, you don't need to take so much stuff. We have everything we need at home."

But soon, he saw the proprietress running around the shop packing luggage, and the sigh in her eyes turned into deep affection.

"But it's my first time meeting my parents, I should bring some gifts, right?"

The proprietress hesitated, holding a cured ham, a faint blush creeping onto her fair cheeks.

"It's alright, your intention is enough."

"Humph!"

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly ambiguous, a sudden cold snort rang in Jiraiya's ear. He turned to look at Hiruko, who was gritting her teeth for some reason, and waved his hand dismissively.
"Xiaobei, if you're done tidying up, go check on how Yahiko is doing. Don't just stand here idly."

Hiruko: Clown emoji
"Dad, how big is Great-Grandpa's house? Can we really fit all the people in it?"

Inside the general store, Nagato looked on with a puzzled expression as his parents packed their belongings. He had never left the Land of Rain before, so he was naturally filled with anticipation for his great-grandfather's upcoming visit.

"Don't worry, your great-grandfather made his fortune in business by taking advantage of acquaintances—no, I mean by honesty. He's built up three shops in Konoha, and he'll give them all to you when you come of age. Remember to cherish them and don't let them be destroyed by criminals."

Three storefronts!

Upon hearing this, Nagato's eyes immediately lit up with golden light. Imitating her friend Yahiko's chuunibyou (delusional) manner, she raised her small hands high, striking the classic pose from the Great Seizure.
"Anyone who dares to touch my shop, I'll make them carry a bag of rice up several flights of stairs!"

Following her parents along the crowded escape route, Xiao Nan, clutching half a white pony, stood on tiptoe, searching for those familiar figures, her eyes filled with despair.
"Father, are we really going to Konoha? We don't have any relatives there, do we?"

"At home, you rely on your parents; when you're out in the world, you rely on your friends. Dad, I have an acquaintance in Konoha; he'll definitely help us get through this." (End of Chapter)
