Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Come here first."

Uchiha Nan pulled Senju Tobirama aside before speaking:

"Tobirama, I am now almost certain that Madara Uchiha has infiltrated Konoha."

Tobirama Senju frowned. Although he had been prepared, his heart still couldn't help but race when Uchiha Nan confirmed the news. He even had some difficulty breathing. Tobirama Senju took off his mask and exhaled deeply.

"I don't think Hashirama's cells are enough for me to face Madara Uchiha directly, so..."

Uchiha Nan glanced at Senju Tobirama's expression. "Hmm, nothing changed." Then he continued...

"I think the First Generation's Sage Mode is pretty good. What do you think? Doesn't Sage Mode suit me well?"

"What?! Sage Mode?!"

Tobirama Senju instinctively called out, and all the Uchiha around him immediately turned to look.

"What are you looking at? Turn your head completely away and plug your ears!"

It had only been a little over a year since Tobirama Senju died, and his influence was still strong. The Uchiha clan members obediently turned their heads away and covered their ears.

The Second Hokage and the current Hokage are discussing important matters. These lowly minions should refrain from participating for the time being.

"Uchiha Nan, don't you think you're incredibly greedy?"

"Is this all the tricks I have? You're trying to drain me dry!"

Tobirama Senju glared at Uchiha Nan with resentment. Hashirama Senju was so powerful, supported by two powerful forces: the Sage Body and the near-perfect Sage Mode. Uchiha Nan had already stolen the power of the Sage Body, and now he wanted to steal the Sage Mode as well?

Just how powerful will Uchiha Nan, who has obtained the ultimate power of the Uchiha and Senju clans, become? Will he become the second Uchiha Madara/Senju Hashirama?

Even stronger?

Tobirama Senju couldn't imagine it, but Uchiha Nan's power would definitely swell to an extremely terrifying level, enough to even hold his own against Uchiha Madara.

"I'm doing this all for Konoha. You know all too well the power of Uchiha Madara. You are the Second Hokage of Konoha, you don't want anything to happen to Konoha, do you?"

"You are the younger brother of Senju Sumire, the First Hokage of Shikkotsu Forest, and the former head of the Senju clan. If you want, you can definitely leave your name here."

"No!!"

"I didn't even ask my older brother for a summoning scroll. Do I need Sage Mode to enhance my strength? I have the Flying Thunder God Technique; there's nowhere in the ninja world I can't go. My Water Release: Forbidden Technique."

Tobirama Senju bluntly shattered Uchiha Nan's delusions, then proceeded to speak eloquently, casually boasting about his own strength, which made Uchiha Nan shake his head in disbelief.

"Alright, Tobirama, stop bragging. If you can't learn Sage Mode, just admit you're strong. You can't die even if you know a ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God. Water Release forbidden techniques are useless. You're already dead, what are you still bragging about?"

Uchiha Nan couldn't stand Senju Tobirama's attitude, so he relentlessly attacked Tobirama's sore spot: being tricked and killed by those brutes from Kumogakure was the most unforgettable thing in his life.

"What do you know!"

"I was covering my disciple's retreat. You were being chased by more than a dozen Jonin, including elite Jonin. The leaders, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, could even use the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and had the Six Paths Treasures. If you went up against them, you would die too!"

Tobirama Senju was furious. Who would have thought he would be facing this lineup? If an ordinary Jonin squad were chasing him, he might have had a chance to escape, but there was really no other way.

"Cheer up!"

Tobirama Senju offered a long explanation, but Uchiha Nan responded with a blunt and contemptuous look, then spat on the ground. (Orochimaru will have to clean up this mess).

"The inherently evil Uchiha brat!!"

"Old man, old man"

Tobirama Senju was so angry he couldn't speak, but this time he wisely refrained from making a move. If he did, he would be controlled by Uchiha Nan with a single hand seal, especially with so many Uchiha people secretly glancing around.

"Damn it, do you even want to learn Sage Mode anymore? With your Uchiha background, even if you were the Hokage of Konoha, the Senju clan would never hand over the Summoning Scroll of Shikkotsu Forest to you unless I intervene!"

"I can help you persuade the Senju clan to give you the summoning scroll of Shikkotsu Forest!"

As Tobirama Senju spoke, his true intentions were revealed: he really wanted to contact the Senju clan and Mito Uzumaki. Uchiha Nan was constantly shoving shit and pissing at him and stabbing him in the heart.

The sky has no eyes!

Even though Uchiha Nan's position as Hokage is now unshakeable, as long as his existence is revealed, the control of his Edo Tensei will definitely not be in the hands of that brat Uchiha Nan.

Then my good days are coming! My prestige, the power of the Senju clan, and my research capabilities will be enough to break Uchiha Nan's monopoly on Konoha.

In Tobirama Senju's eyes, the vast majority of Uchiha Nan's achievements were due to his own efforts; Uchiha Nan had only given him a tiny bit of money.

What else did Uchiha Nan do?!

Why should all the glory and achievements be enjoyed by Uchiha Nan alone?!

"Hmph, forget it then... It's just a summoning scroll. The ninja world isn't just about Shikkotsu Forest, which is a holy land where people can master Sage Mode."

Uchiha Nan directly rejected Senju Tobirama's suggestion, saying that releasing Senju Tobirama would only cause endless trouble. Konoha only needed the voice of a Hokage, and why would a dead former Hokage want to get involved?

Even his own clansmen, Orochimaru and Uchiha Nan, were not at ease with him. They all placed cursed seals on them, so that if they leaked even a little bit of information about Tobirama Senju in any form, they would faint immediately, and he could even sense it.

Konoha's secret technique was upgraded by Uchiha Nan with the help of Uzumaki Mito, who was an expert in sealing techniques, and it will be further improved in the future.

"When Madara Uchiha suddenly attacks Konoha, Uchiha Nan, you will definitely regret it!"

When Tobirama Senju saw that Uchiha Nan had refused so decisively, he threatened him fiercely.

"Shut up! You old devil with a thousand hands!"

"I am the current Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan casually uttered a classic quote: last time it was Uzumaki Mito, this time it was Senju Tobirama, who will be next? It can't be Senju Hashirama, can it? No way.

The way the plot is concluding is truly terrifying. Is this the fate of the Third Hokage of Konoha?

"If you have nothing else to do, get out of here!" "Get out of my lab!!!"

Tobirama Senju immediately told Uchiha Nan to leave; today was another day of being provoked by Uchiha Nan. So annoying and frustrating.

"Hey Uchiha guy, you're the one who's been peeking over here, right? You're going to be the first one to have your blood drawn, 800cc!!"

Tobirama Senju decided to find someone to vent his anger on, and the Uchiha clan members in front of him were the perfect target. 800cc is the limit for an ordinary person to have their blood drawn at once; fainting and cold hands and feet are normal. Any more than that would be life-threatening. However, even ninjas, with their weaker constitutions, would faint.

Uchiha Nan rolled his eyes at Senju Tobirama, knowing he couldn't let Tobirama take his anger out on his clansmen.

"Don't listen to this old man. At most, it's 600cc. Right now, he's still quite weak in our Uchiha clan's territory. Although Tobirama Senju is the Second Hokage, if he goes too far, three or five of you can come at him together. Hey you, you even activated your three-tomoe Sharingan, right? If you all come at him together, it'll be a piece of cake. By the way, be careful not to break the lab equipment. It's very expensive!"

"This one set alone is worth tens of millions of taels of silver, enough for you to work for several years!"

Uchiha Nan stood up for the Uchiha boys. Although they probably wouldn't dare to fight Tobirama Senju, he still had to say: if you have the guts, go for it. If you win, I'll back you up. If you don't dare, then you'd better just accept it.

After saying this, Uchiha Nan left, leaving the remaining Uchiha members looking at each other in bewilderment. What right did they have to fight the Second Hokage? They had personally witnessed Tobirama Senju's dominance in suppressing the Uchiha, and they even had to cooperate with the Second Hokage in experiments that were life-threatening. Although they all said they were not afraid of death for power, when it came to admitting defeat, it was not shameful to admit defeat to the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!

"Anyone who wants to come at me together can try right now!"

A cold glint appeared in Tobirama Senju's eyes, and he pulled out a kunai from somewhere.

The scene was eerily quiet.

"You, 600cc or 800cc?"

Tobirama Senju looked at the young man, who was sweating profusely. He thought, "800cc might make me dizzy for a little while, it's not worth it. Not worth it."

800cc.

"very good!"

Tobirama Senju smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that his authority was still intact. Only that inherently evil Uchiha, Uchiha Nan, dared to disrespect him.

"Since you're being sensible, 400cc will do!"

Tobirama Senju didn't make things difficult for the sensible Uchiha. He had been so angered by Uchiha Nan that he was in a bad mood. Injecting Hashirama's cell solution afterward would be very dangerous, as his body would be weakened by the blood draw and could be eroded by the Hashirama cells.

"Line up one by one, get ready to have your blood drawn!"

Looking at the rows of obediently standing Uchiha, Tobirama Senju's expression softened considerably. Uchiha Nan, that naturally evil brat, was truly despicable; now, these well-behaved Uchiha seemed so endearing.

夜晚

Naruto Otaku

Uchiha Nan lay on the bed, panting heavily. "It was another fierce battle! I feel refreshed, the fire's gone, and my mind is clear again."

I reflect on myself three times a day: why are there so many annoying things in the world?

Hopefully, Jiraiya won't disappoint himself, and Madara Uchiha can behave himself, just coming to Konoha out of boredom to visit and reminisce about old haunts, like the sycophantic Obito who visits Rin Nohara's grave every year to lay a flower and then leaves.

Before he knew it, Uchiha Nan had fallen asleep.

next day

Hokage Building

Uchiha Nan woke up early today and wasn't late for work. He sat in the office, slacking off as usual, waiting for Nara Shikato to report on Konoha's recent situation.

"Lord Hokage, the exchange students from the Land of Whirlpools will be departing soon and will arrive in Konoha shortly."

"There is also the Daimyo and samurai of the Land of Iron. Today, they formally requested assistance from Konoha. Recently, the emerging forces in Amegakure have been very rampant and have already started small-scale conflicts on the border of the Land of Iron."

"Perhaps this is a good opportunity to intervene in the Land of Iron's ore trade. However, it is not suitable for Konoha to get involved in a conflict right now. Konoha still has a systemic lack of ninjas. The next two or three years will be a good opportunity. According to intelligence, Amegakure is still accumulating strength and does not really intend to invade the Land of Iron this time."

"A ninja village called Sky Ninja Village has suddenly appeared in the Land of the Sky. A new type of ninja tool has appeared. It is said to be able to fly in the sky. It is also very ambitious and has recently begun to be active, carrying out terrorist attacks against the surrounding ninja forces. It is currently recruiting soldiers."

"The Sun-Scorching Village of the Mountain Country"

"The factories in Konoha are expanding outwards from Konoha as their center, and have already reached major cities in the Land of Fire. They are recruiting a large number of workers. According to intelligence, some local nobles and officials are dissatisfied, and a considerable number of tenant farmers have given up farming and chosen to work in the factories."

Uchiha Nan listened thoughtfully. All the ninja villages that made their appearance in the Second Shinobi World War developed during this period. The five major ninja villages were locked in a fierce battle, exhausting each other to the point of exhaustion, while these smaller ninja villages benefited from the chaos.

The five major ninja villages were all focused on recovering their strength and status, and they turned a blind eye to these ambitious smaller ninja villages, as long as these smaller ninja villages didn't provoke them.

Konoha is not in a good position to launch an attack at this time. There is neither a pretext nor the conditions for doing so. Konoha has not yet fully converted its economic strength into the ability to wage war. It will take at least another two or three years for the situation to improve.

If we attack a small ninja village now and fail to resolve the situation swiftly and decisively, then we'll be in big trouble.

The Houthi rebels, the barefoot army, bombarded the Bald Eagle bases with hundreds of rounds of firecrackers, even the nuclear-powered coffins were not spared.

The bald eagle is still enduring it, even after being slapped, it says it didn't hurt, no one died, just a concussion. It's nothing serious.

The same applies to the fight between Da Mao and Er Mao.

The eldest brother cannot show weakness; he either has to fight and maintain his dignity, or he must resolve the war decisively.

"Let's continue gathering intelligence. The flying gadgets from Amegakure, Sky Village, and Kagerou Village are quite interesting. Let's send a few spies to try and get one out..."

"As for the Land of Iron's request for help, give an ambiguous answer. In short, show that Konoha will send troops, but don't give any reason to lie... cough cough, ask for some reward... such as iron ore, or sales share. Recently, Konoha's laboratory has improved its smelting technology. Next, the iron production of Konoha's iron mines should increase, and the cost will decrease. First, start a price war to seize market share, squeeze out the competitors, and then Konoha will monopolize the market."

"As for those nobles, the officials should simply ignore them. If they have any problems, they should go to the daimyo. If that doesn't solve the problem, they can be sent to see the Sage of Six Paths."

Uchiha Nan issued a series of orders, which Nara Shikato memorized and then repeated before leaving Uchiha Nan's office.
