Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

After a short while, Tobirama Senju's tone relaxed, and he began to speak kindly. He had a premonition that the truth Uchiha Nan had spoken about involved the ultimate secret of the entire ninja world. He had already heard half of it, and if Uchiha Nan didn't tell him, Tobirama Senju felt that he would go crazy with curiosity.

"Telling you won't do any good. You can't convince Madara Uchiha anyway. I'll tell you the truth at the right time."

"That's about it for today. I need to go home now; my two beautiful wives are waiting for me."

"You just stay in the lab and do your work properly. You're not working for me, you're working for Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan patted his behind and left. Tobirama Senju tried to linger, but Uchiha Nan completely controlled him.

"Orochimaru, remember to take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan said goodbye to Orochimaru before leaving, and only after Uchiha Nan left the laboratory did he release Tobirama Senju from his body control.

"Uchiha Nan, you're not even human!"

"Riddlers should all die, ahhh!!!"

Having regained his freedom, Tobirama Senju cursed loudly in the laboratory, but the laboratory was very soundproof, and not a single sound escaped.

Chapter 120 Uchiha Madara: What is a world with highly developed productivity really like?

"We're home, we're home!"

Uchiha Nan hummed a little tune as he walked towards his home. Home is always his safe haven. A good man should take care of his family. In this life, only career and family are truly real. Director Wen's words are absolutely wonderful.

The numerous troubles in Konoha had left Uchiha Nan overwhelmed, but the moment he saw his home, his anxiety and unease lessened considerably.

"boom"

Uchiha Nan opened the door to his house. Kaede and Rin were sitting on the sofa, just as Uchiha Nan usually did at home. The floor was spotless, and fresh fruit was laid out on the coffee table. Hmm, a perfect wife and mother.

"Uchiha Kusunoki, you're finally back!"

Manji was enjoying Feng's daily belly rubbing with his eyes closed and his legs in the air when he heard the door open. He immediately opened his eyes and looked at the doorway, then quickly got up and lightly leaped into Uchiha Nan's arms.

"Manji, you seem to have gained weight while I was away!"

"No way! That's just your imagination!!"

Uchiha Nan felt the weight of Banji. Since becoming Hokage, he had never sent Banji out on a mission. He spent his days lying at home sunbathing, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, in a daily cycle. Before, he would see Banji every day when he came home and had not realized that Banji had become so heavy.

Now that I'm back from my business trip, I immediately noticed that Manji seems to be developing in the direction of Garfield. Oh well, I can afford to raise him myself.

"Alright, alright, Feng and Ling stay home with you every day."

Uchiha Nan stroked Banji's tail; a cat's tail is always so smooth.

"Master, welcome home!"

Feng and Ling approached Uchiha Nan and each grabbed one of his arms with a cough.

"Well, I'm back!"

Uchiha Nan affectionately patted their heads, and after a while of cuddling, the three of them went into the bathroom, and then into their room.

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman; today I'm facing two opponents alone!

Uchiha Nan was engaged in a fierce battle in the room, staying up all night. Uchiha Madara also didn't sleep tonight.

A man squatted on a street in Konoha, diligently reading the new version of The Will of Fire written by Uchiha Kusunoki and Senju Tobirama by the light of the street lamp.

The new version of The Will of Fire is a culmination of Uchiha Nan's previous life's revolutionary ideology, worldview, and methodology. It was further revised by Tobirama Senju, a master of Machiavellianism, to localize the ninja world.

He analyzed the origins of the entire ninja world tragedy from a perspective that Madara Uchiha had never considered.

Low productivity, a distorted political structure, and the very meaning of ninja existence profoundly impacted Madara Uchiha's intellectually impoverished mind. "Learning without thinking is futile; thinking without learning is dangerous." Excessive thinking coupled with insufficient reading easily leads to extremism—a common problem throughout the ninja world; after all, killing doesn't require much reading. The Uchiha clan were particularly adept at this extremism, exemplified by Madara Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha.

Why must a great name always be high and mighty?

"Why must ninjas be tools to carry out tasks assigned by nobles in order to earn a living? Can't they live in another way?"

"What if productivity truly reaches its peak?"

Could a world with highly developed productivity, where ninjas are well-educated and no longer fixated on mercenary missions but engage in productive work like ordinary people, even developing into a world of distribution based on need, where everyone can obtain what they desire, become extremely fulfilling? Is such a world truly possible?

Would the ninja world then still be constantly at war like it is now?

As Madara Uchiha read the new version of The Will of Fire, his thoughts followed Uchiha Nan's ideas step by step, and before he knew it, time had quietly passed.

The sky was already beginning to lighten. The sun was peeking out, but Madara Uchiha was completely oblivious, still crouching in the corner, his eyes glued to the words in the book.

"Grandpa, grandpa, do you want breakfast?"

"How pitiful, homeless! I have some rice balls here, hot. You can have two, it's free."

The vendors walking through the streets and alleys were up early, preparing for the day's business. Early that morning, they spotted Uchiha Madara, with half-white hair and one eye that was clearly blind. He was carrying the Hokage's book, probably a refugee who had come to Konoha. How pitiful! They should help him if they can. Konoha values ​​benevolence and righteousness.

"Hmm? Rice ball, thank you."

Madara Uchiha looked at the rice ball in his hand, then at the vendor who had already walked away, and only then did he realize that it was already dawn. He had actually been reading all night; he couldn't remember the last time he had been so engrossed in reading.

"This book is interesting. Was it really written by that junior, Uchiha Nan?"

Madara Uchiha felt as if he had been transported to another world. His mind opened up considerably, and things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear. He had a sense of sudden enlightenment, realizing that the world could be viewed in such a way.

Developing productive forces and education will change production relations, overthrowing the mountain that weighs on ordinary people and ninjas, ending the source of tragedy and material scarcity, and opening up a completely new path.

Unlimited monthly reading

Madara Uchiha felt a headache coming on. The confusion was probably from staying up late. He was getting old after all.

"This is a difficult situation. My heart is starting to waver." Madara Uchiha took a bite of the steaming rice ball, breathing in the fresh air of Konoha. The gradually bustling streets before him filled Madara's empty heart. Alone in the dark underground cave, he was lost in thought, reminiscing about the past. He knew he would become depressed.

"I was originally planning to find flaws in Uchiha Nan's logic to break him down and make him realize the darkness of the ninja world. But the worldview, methodology, and future path of Konoha mentioned in this book are simply impeccable."

"Even I'm curious about this kind of future."

Madara Uchiha wasn't stupid; he could see the dramatic changes Konoha had undergone. According to the intelligence he had gathered, Uchiha Nan had only been Hokage for a year, yet he had already developed Konoha to this extent. If he were given ten or twenty years...

Can humanity truly end the cycle of mutual slaughter through highly developed productivity, good education, and sound systems?

For a moment, Madara Uchiha felt that his invincible Mangekyou Sharingan could not see such a distant future, while Hashirama's shabby theories and compromising attitude allowed him to see the future of Konoha at a glance.

"If I had seen this book ten years ago, I probably wouldn't have left Konoha. This path was indeed worth taking and trying. But now..."

Madara Uchiha was filled with complex emotions. He had sacrificed too much for the Eye of the Moon Plan, abandoning his childhood beliefs—those naive and laughable convictions. "My clan is nothing to worry about," he thought. "I even abandoned Hashirama along with them."

The sunk costs were too high, and Madara Uchiha simply couldn't accept that another easy path had appeared at this time. However, the allure of the Eye of the Moon Plan was indeed diminishing because Madara Uchiha hadn't yet sacrificed everything for it.

Uchiha Nan was trapped by her own fixed mindset. At this time, Uchiha Madara was not yet struggling on the verge of death from old age, nor had he awakened the crucial Rinnegan.

The chakra, life force, and ocular power required by the Rinnegan are like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring everything Uchiha Madara has, and he still seems to be insatiable. Even Uchiha Madara, who is invincible in the ninja world, although confident in himself, will have moments of irrationality in the dark underground cave, questioning whether he will fail. It's been ten years. There's still no sign of it?

Even when Madara Uchiha finally activated his Rinnegan, he was still clinging to life, his resentment towards Hashirama holding back. He finally managed to suppress the Rinnegan.

By then, no matter how beautifully or wonderfully Uchiha Nan articulated his theories, he wouldn't be able to move Uchiha Madara's heart. Uchiha Madara was beyond turning back; he was already old and about to die, having gambled everything on the Eye of the Moon Plan. Even if there were pitfalls ahead, Uchiha Madara would still stubbornly jump into them!

But right now, time is on Uchiha Nan's side. Uchiha Madara is still young, only over fifty years old. If the supply of Rinnegan activation is stopped, Uchiha Madara might be able to outlive Onoki.

Danzo was over seventy years old and still working hard on the front lines, striving to become Hokage. Madara Uchiha is not even sixty yet. Is it really that hard for him to live another sixty years?

It remains to be seen whether he will be reborn into the revolutionary cause of the ninja world and experience a second spring!

Especially the most crucial item—the Rinnegan—has remained elusive to Madara Uchiha for a full ten years. He's confident he can awaken it, but that confidence comes at a price; he's sacrificed much. Ten years has been a significant period, and while the cost has been substantial, it hasn't reached the point of no return.

Madara Uchiha was overwhelmed with thoughts, feeling somewhat lost. The Eye of the Moon Plan didn't seem so appealing anymore. The Rinnegan hadn't been activated yet. How frustrating.

The rice balls are so delicious. *smacks lips*

Madara Uchiha was unsure whether he should return to his dark, sunless underground cave to continue grinding for the Rinnegan, or confront Uchiha Nan directly: "Your ancestor didn't die! The dead have returned! Your idea is quite interesting. Your ancestor will help you sweep across the ninja world and become powerful!"

Hashirama's approach won't work; you can see the end from the beginning. I can't see the future in your method, but I, Madara Uchiha, want to give it a try.

If all else fails, I have a plan B: keep grinding for the Rinnegan!

"Excuse me, excuse me, sir."

Just as Madara Uchiha was struggling with his thoughts, a passerby interrupted his contemplation. The streets were becoming increasingly crowded, and the sounds of shouts and calls filled the air. Workers, heading to construction sites and sweatshops, walked in twos and threes, their eyes revealing a look Madara rarely saw—a hope for the future—"Work hard, I can have rice balls again for lunch today! Twenty years later, that beautiful house will be mine! I heard the first batch of new houses has been completed and is about to be topped out. I wonder who will be lucky enough to get a lottery number and move in first."

How wonderful. That kind of gaze. Madara Uchiha really liked it. When was the last time he saw that kind of gaze? I think it was when Konoha was founded, the light in the eyes of his clansmen back then.

Suddenly, a poster fell from Madara Uchiha's hand—"Immigrating to Konoha, living in a new house in Konoha!"

The exquisite and beautiful designs of the new apartment immediately caught Madara Uchiha's eye. Perhaps he should settle down in Konoha for now. He had plenty of time. Trying to awaken the Rinnegan didn't necessarily require staying in a dark, sunless underground cave. Who would even notice if he lived in Konoha?

I can also continue to observe Uchiha Nan and keep an eye on Konoha's development. I can do both without missing a beat. Which path to take? I need time to think about it.

Madara Uchiha has temporarily given up on trying to persuade Nanami Uchiha. He hasn't found any flaws in the theories in the book, and directly debating the future of the ninja world with Nanami would only be humiliating. Without even opening the Rinnegan, his methods don't seem very convincing.

After making up his mind, Madara Uchiha picked up the poster and followed the directions on it to the sales office, intending to buy a small house of his own.

"A little thirsty"

Uchiha Nan slept until noon and, unsurprisingly, skipped half a day of work. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and their passion ignited. It was still a one-against-two battle, and it was impossible for them not to fight until they were completely wiped out.

What's wrong with the Hokage skipping half a day of work?

Can't you enjoy yourself while working so hard for Konoha?

Has he ever been late in paying his subordinates' wages?

Uchiha Nan, still half asleep, got out of bed and grabbed a cup to hydrate himself.

The room was a complete mess, which gives you an idea of ​​how intense the battle was last night.

"Wow, what a big moon... no, what a big sun! It's already noon?"

"I've already missed half a day of work. Oh well, I guess I'll just skip work. I don't have to clock in anyway. I've already missed half a day, so what's another half?"

"How many more days can Konoha remain peaceful? How long can we enjoy this harem? We'll savor it while we can."

After the passion faded, emptiness followed, and a flood of worries rushed back into his mind. Even if tomorrow were the end of the world, he couldn't miss a single day of enjoying life. Uchiha Nan was somewhat resigned, but his body honestly led him back to bed.

Chiyo had a blast shopping at Konoha's night market last night. Her room was filled with shopping bags, and she couldn't resist a woman's shopping instincts. She emptied her wallet. As a high-ranking member of Sunagakure, Chiyo did have some savings. However, most of what she bought were useless things. Beautiful, gorgeous, luxurious, and useless. The standard combination of luxury goods.

You know, Kazekage Masa had been working at the gold miner's post for a long time since early morning, and then returned to the Kazekage's office to complete the Kazekage's daily work. If he knew that Chiyo was spending money like this, he would probably immediately pull Chiyo to the gold miner's post to help him pan for sand.

Hokage's Office

"Lord Hokage, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Chiyo waited a long time in the Hokage's office but Uchiha Nan didn't show up. However, she did see Konoha's top business negotiator.
