Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

At this moment in the video, there is a vast expanse of azure sea.

A small boat, only five or six meters long, drifted along with the current.

At the bow of the small boat, Tsunade held a wine jar in mid-air and gently shook it, while she caught it with her mouth wide open below.

After the last drop of this last jar of wine fell into his mouth, he casually tossed the jar aside.

He said with a look of lingering enjoyment:

"Jingyin, do you think I should go back?"

"After all, it's been five years. That guy's first five-year plan is coming to an end. As a Konoha Jonin, it's only right that I go back to hear the report and offer some suggestions. What do you think?"

Beside her, Shizune slightly pursed her lips.

He thought to himself: Was it all for Konoha? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it.

However, despite his inner grumbling, he still spoke quite sincerely:

"We should definitely go back; the Hokage would probably be very happy."

"It's not because of that guy. He only knows how to take advantage of you the moment we meet. I don't know what he's thinking."

It's all that bastard Jiraiya's fault. If it weren't for him corrupting Uehara Shimei..."

Tsunade glanced at Shizune with a threatening look.

However, that's what he said.

But I couldn't help but recall the resolute look in his eyes when we parted five years ago, a look that almost suffocated me for a moment.

For the past five years, she has been secretly keeping an eye on Uehara Siming.

Although the Senju clan was disbanded by my second grandfather, many people died in the Second Shinobi World War and in Hiruzen Sarutobi's Wood Release plan.

But given its large size and deep roots, quite a few spies have survived.

Every so often, major events that occur in Konoha and the ninja world, as well as information about Uehara Shimei's movements, would be delivered to her through a special channel.

This is also why she was able to live a nomadic life outside for five years without worry.

She knew that Uehara Shinmei and Konoha were not only not in trouble, but were actually getting better and better, and becoming more and more prosperous.

This guy not only single-handedly subdued the four major ninja villages, but also completely quelled the Third Shinobi World War, which was supposed to last for more than ten years, in just two or three years.

They also carried out profound changes to Konoha, even completely demolishing and rebuilding the entire village. It is said that many new technologies were applied, resulting in many novel things.

Of course, he didn't neglect some of the things that were most important to him.

Mikoto and Kushina became pregnant one after another and each gave birth to a son, named Uehara Naruto and Uehara Sasuke respectively.

The Hyuga clan voluntarily sent a girl named Hyuga Ayari to their side.

This bastard didn't refuse at all; he just brazenly and comfortably accepted it.

That's infuriating! I'll definitely give them a good beating when I get the chance.

In addition, I heard that he has taken on several disciples in succession: Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Shisui Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, and Aoba Yamashiro.

They all seem to be quite famous.

Furthermore, the Uchiha problem, which the Second and Third Hokage couldn't solve, was also easily resolved in his hands.

Everything is developing in the best possible direction, even in a way that was previously unimaginable.

"That guy must be feeling pretty smug right now, right?"

Thinking this, a smile crept onto Tsunade's face.

As a Hokage, Uehara Shimei's achievements undoubtedly exceeded the imagination of herself and all her supporters.

He kept his promise, and with lightning speed.

……

For Tsunade to return to Konoha from an unknown sea area even further east than the Land of Water, it was naturally not a matter of a few simple steps.

But the video was just a transition, and the gates of Konoha were already in front of her.

And it was this first appearance of Konoha five years later that instantly ignited the entire barrage of comments.

Specifically, it plunged everyone in the original ninja world into a deep shock.

The dilapidated wooden door that had been there just over ten minutes ago had vanished.

What appeared next was a giant city wall that was over twenty meters high.

Moreover, it was not made of ordinary soil piled up and rammed, nor was it even an ordinary earthen structure.

It exhibits a bright and smooth luster, similar to that of finely polished jade, and retains patterns and various mythical animal designs.

It looks magnificent and extremely beautiful.

Two massive bronze gates, entirely cast in metal, are completely encased within this section of the city wall.

Above the giant gate stands a city gate tower no smaller than the villa's courtyard.

Through the crenellations, one can see Hyuga and Uchiha ninjas on guard and patrolling.

This simple scene alone is enough to show just how amazing and enormous the changes have been in Konoha over the past five years.

Once inside the gate, the scene was completely different from what had been seen before.

construction site

Construction sites are everywhere.

Including the Hokage Building, the Ninja Academy, and several city blocks, many of the original buildings were completely demolished.

Countless workers and ninjas moved about, sweating profusely yet enthusiastically building their new home.

In the surrounding area, one can see rows of brand-new buildings that are completely different from the original style.

These buildings are so beautiful, they seem to have stepped out of a myth, that it's almost unbelievable.

The novel and bold design, the completely different building materials, the unique yet unexpectedly pleasing shape, and the vibrant yet refreshing color scheme...

In addition, the overall layout is magnificent.

One can clearly sense from it the designer's immense vision and ambition.

Tsunade activated the Body Flicker Technique and quickly flew to the top of the Hokage Rock, a famous landmark in Konoha.

Standing on Hiruzen Sarutobi's head, one can clearly survey the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Upon seeing this, even though she had heard about the changes in Konoha from the intelligence reports,

Even I was momentarily lost in thought.

Spectacular, magnificent, grand, beautiful, like a fairyland...

When countless things that were completely unexpected, and even things that had never existed in previous concepts and consciousness, appeared...

Tsunade didn't know what words to use to describe Konoha as she saw it at that moment.

But she knew that, looking across the entire ninja world, there was no other school that could compare.

"Is this the change brought about by the Child of Prophecy?"

Tsunade's mutterings were also the voices of countless people in the original ninja world.

At this moment, their envy of the current ninja world and their admiration for Uehara Shimei reached their peak.

Their Konoha remains unchanged even more than a decade later.

Even after the Nine-Tails' rampage, the rebuilt things are exactly the same as before.

I didn't think much of it at first, but looking at Konoha, I felt only a deep sense of disappointment and sorrow.

Many people then suddenly realized,

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, for decades, nothing new ever emerged in Konoha.

No wonder Orochimaru referred to Konoha as a windmill that never turns and as not worth seeing when he killed his master.

It's really too old and outdated.

While Tsunade was shocked by the changes in Konoha...

In the courtyard of a newly built villa, Uehara Siming inexplicably glanced towards the Hokage Rock.

Upon that glance, a look of joy instantly appeared on his face, but then that joy turned into a sinister, malicious smile.

"Are you finally back?"

"I've been weaving this net for so long, it's time to cast it out."

"Tsunade, come into my bowl right now."

Chapter 33 The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease; Uehara Siming is putting on an act again.

Tsunade did not stay on the Hokage Rock for long.

After randomly grabbing a ninja on the street and asking about the Hokage's residence, he headed straight for Uehara Shimei's villa.

I don't know what he thought of.

After catching a glimpse of that peculiar building, so different from anywhere else in the entire ninja world,

A flawless face suddenly became incredibly excited, and even her eyes started to glow with a green light.

It was like a starving wolf, skin and bones, suddenly spotting juicy, fatty meat.

That undisguised desire—to an outsider, it might seem like she was planning to eat someone.

Not just expressions,

His steps quickened until finally, his body became a blur.

"Hey, Uehara kid, hand over all the good wine you've been hiding."

"Haha, I'm definitely going to get really drunk today."

"I haven't tasted any alcohol for half a month. Do you know how I've managed these past ten days?"

"What are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me? Open the door, open the door, open the door. Never mind, I'll do it."
