Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

I have a tiny bit of talent for cultivating Sage Mode, but not much. I probably have no chance of becoming a Sage like Hashirama Senju.

"No more slacking off! Everything I need to do in the morning is concentrated here. I have to go to Mount Myōboku to train in Sage Mode this afternoon, and tonight I have to take on two opponents at once—that's going to be a tough battle!"

Since returning from Mount Myōboku, Uchiha Nan's life has become extremely regular: handling Konoha affairs in the morning and going to Mount Myōboku for training in the afternoon.

In the evening, I went to Tobirama Senju's lab to inquire about the progress of the Hashirama cell experiment and various other experiments.

The electric tricycle that was given to Tobirama Senju last time, as well as the amoxicillin capsules, were very efficient and can now be reproduced in the laboratory. The electric tricycle has also been upgraded and can use chakra as an energy source. Mass production will be possible soon.

Electric tricycles are perfect for transporting goods... Konoha's traffic is getting increasingly congested, and these vehicles have really solved a pressing problem.

However, compared to electric tricycles, the production of penicillin was truly a meritorious deed. In the past, when penicillin first appeared, this medicine could sell for more than its weight in gold. So much so that a classic post on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website) asked, "If you had a ton of penicillin and traveled back to that turbulent era, what would you do?" That would be unimaginable wealth!

Everything is proceeding smoothly, and the intercolumnar cell experiment has reached its final stage.

The Uchiha clan members who received the Hashirama cells are currently in good condition, with significant improvements in their physical attributes, chakra reserves, and recovery abilities. They are also able to use the First Hokage's Wood Release technique.

Although it doesn't have the same power as Hashirama Senju, it can still be considered powerful.

The experiment was progressing so smoothly that Tobirama Senju's face turned dark. His elder brother's unique technique had actually been reproduced on the Uchiha! This was infuriating!

It probably won't be long before Uchiha Nan is able to obtain the final version of Hashirama's cell solution. After spending so much money, manpower, and resources, it's truly a cause for celebration.

All good things, all good things. Uchiha Nan sat in his office reviewing Konoha's recent developments, a truly vibrant and flourishing state.

Even Madara Uchiha, whom I had been worried about, was nowhere to be found. Perhaps I was just being paranoid. So much time had passed. Madara Uchiha probably just happened to return to Konoha. He might have already left Konoha and returned to his dark underground cave to work hard on the Rinnegan.

"Lord Hokage, the Uzumaki clan is almost at Konoha!"

With a bang, Nara Shikahara opened the door to Uchiha Kusunoki's office and reported urgent intelligence.

"What's going on? Didn't they say there were still three days left?"

"There's a wind at sea, and the ship is going faster!"

"Then let's get ready quickly. There should already be a plan for the welcoming ceremony. Remember to let me know when they arrive so I can show my face."

Uchiha Nan calmly instructed Nara Shikato, intending to go home and tidy himself up first. The Third Hokage's special divine robe was still at home; wearing it on ordinary days was too conspicuous, often attracting crowds.

The Uzumaki clan sent over a hundred members this time, packing together all the most outstanding and talented members of the clan and sending them to Konoha.

Fifty billion taels of silver was definitely well spent!

Uchiha Nan looked at the list with satisfaction. He had finally caught the fish he had cast with his long line. All the seeds of the Uzumaki clan had come to Konoha. He had to make them move to a different place and grow directly in Konoha.

"Konoha. Is this Konoha?"

"So big, so bustling!"

"Look at these lights, look at this road! Our Land of Whirlpools can't even compare!"

"Hey, I don't like hearing that."

"What's wrong with that? I love telling the truth!"

A grand welcoming ceremony dazzled the Uzumaki clan members, and the prosperous scene of Konoha filled them with anticipation. They would be living here for several years.

"Welcome to Konoha, everyone. You are the most outstanding young people of the Uzumaki clan. In the future, you will study in Konoha and become the best ninjas of Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, for the sake of Konoha and the Uzumaki clan."

"Now, let Mito Uzumaki say a few words!"

After saying a few words, Uchiha Nan handed the microphone to Uzumaki Mito. Uzumaki Mito had been keeping a close eye on the news about the Uzumaki clan, and as soon as she heard that the Uzumaki clan had arrived earlier than scheduled, she rushed over immediately.

Last time, because they didn't see Uzumaki Reishi first, Uchiha Nan took advantage of the situation. Although the Uzumaki clan still maintains a good relationship with the Senju clan, their actions are still very honest and they are leaning towards the Uchiha clan.

A full five billion taels!

The Uzumaki clan wanted to kneel down and acknowledge Uchiha Nan as their father, and no matter how well the Senju clan spoke, no matter how touching their stories of mutual support were, that still cost 5 billion ryo. 5 billion ryo!

Uchiha Nan represents the Hokage of Konoha, and maintaining good relations between the Uzumaki clan and the Hokage's family is extremely important to the Uzumaki clan.

Let alone the Uzumaki clan, any clan in Konoha that wants to advance must maintain a good relationship with the Uchiha clan, and even the Senju clan is no exception.

The relationship between the Senju and Uchiha clans is indeed steadily improving. Uchiha Kusanagi, the Hokage, is truly outstanding; he's able to lead the Senju clan to progress and make a fortune. Who wouldn't love a clan that's practically a god of wealth?

"Mito, you must get along well with the Hokage and respect him. The Uzumaki clan depends on Konoha, so please help them out."

"How's Yang Yue doing lately? Is she with the Hokage? That old man Hyuga Takuma is always... We absolutely can't let the Hyuga clan get there first!"

"what?"

"There's been absolutely no progress, Mito. Can't you do something? Yotsuki is going to be the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Only by becoming the Hokage's wife can she achieve that status. Marrying Uchiha Nan would not only be good for Yotsuki, but also for the Uzumaki clan. It's a win-win situation!"

Recently, Mito Uzumaki's communications with Ayashi Uzumaki have mainly revolved around urging Mito to improve her relationship with Nanami Uchiha so that Yotsuki Uzumaki could marry Nanami Uchiha and become the Hokage's wife as soon as possible.

It's so annoying. Yangyue is taken care of by the Senju clan. The relationship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha is what it is, no matter who becomes the Hokage, they can't possibly mistreat the Uzumaki clan.

I really don't know what Brother Reed is worried about.

While giving her speech, Mito Uzumaki glanced at Nan Uchiha and remembered the things that made her unhappy. She would never allow Nan Uchiha to attack Yangyue, nor would she allow Nan Uchiha to bribe the Uzumaki clan members in front of her!

"All your expenses during your studies in Konoha will be covered by Konoha. This is your living allowance for this month. Those whose names are called, come up and collect it."

Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, and her remarks were almost identical to those of Uchiha Nan. Uchiha Nan was getting annoyed by what she heard. She decided to give him something more practical.

Give me money!

Cash only!!

"Long live the Hokage!!!"

"Long live Konoha!!!"

Uchiha Nan, with his wealth, brought over a pile of money and dumped it directly on the ground. The visual impact of the pile caused the young men of the Uzumaki clan to cheer and spontaneously gather around Uchiha Nan.

Mito Uzumaki's face darkened. Why wasn't anyone surrounding her?

Being rich is awesome!

Chapter 133 Uchiha Madara: In Konoha's time of crisis, I will descend with invincible power!

"Everyone, please line up and don't rush."

“Everyone has a share!”

The simplest and most effective way to win people's hearts and improve the relationship between these Uzumaki clan disciples and Konoha is to give them money.

Using Konoha's public funds to win over the hearts of the new generation of Uzumaki clan members—what a lucrative deal! This is the right of the Hokage!

Uchiha Nan glanced at Uzumaki Mito. She was all alone, standing there with complicated feelings. She was clearly unhappy inside, but she had to pretend to be happy.

The Hokage is giving money to the children of the Uzumaki clan, so why is Mito Uzumaki keeping such a sour face?

Envy, jealousy, hatred.

"So what if you have a little money? It's not like your Uchiha clan paid for it. You're such an annoying brat, don't you know you should get involved when it's time to distribute money?"

"asshole!"

Mito Uzumaki was internally screaming. She really wanted to develop a relationship with the younger generation of the Uzumaki clan. Although she was a member of the Uzumaki clan, she had stayed in Konoha for many years. The younger generation of the Uzumaki clan had only heard of Mito Uzumaki, but had never seen her in person. So how could they develop a relationship with her?

Mito Uzumaki stared longingly at Nanami Uchiha, wanting to participate in distributing money, but Nanami Uchiha had no such intention.

Harvesting hearts and minds is a privilege exclusive to Naruto. Yuan Shikai used the Qing dynasty's money to personally pay and distribute military salaries and uniforms, turning the army into a private army. Even after the Qing dynasty dismissed Yuan Shikai from his post, he still couldn't mobilize the army.

Names and tools should never be lent to others!

Uchiha Nan winked at Uzumaki Mito, a wink that carried a hint of provocation. All of Uzumaki Mito's clansmen were huddled close to him; wasn't that a form of NTR? Awesome!

"Damn it." Mito Uzumaki's molars creaked as she glared at Uchiha Nan, then turned her head away. "I won't look, I won't look. The more I look, the more annoyed I get!"

Uchiha Nan distributed the living expenses one by one, and every child's face was filled with smiles. Konoha really made the right choice to come; they gave out money as soon as they arrived... How wonderful!

"Mito-sama, would you like to go out for dinner? I've made a reservation at a restaurant; I've booked the whole place for today."

"Go, why not go!"

Mito Uzumaki readily agreed. Building relationships with the younger generation of the Uzumaki clan—money alone couldn't buy people's hearts... It certainly seemed to work. Mito Uzumaki looked at the Uzumaki clan members present, and everyone was gathered around Uchiha Nan, their eyes shining.

But precisely because of this, Mito Uzumaki was even more determined to go, since she had already fallen behind.

"Oh, right, remember to bring Uzumaki Yotsuki along. She's also a member of the Uzumaki clan, so we can't forget her at this group dinner."

Uchiha Nan beckoned the young members of the Uzumaki clan toward the restaurant, reminding Uzumaki Mito to bring Uzumaki Yotsuki along.

The mere mention of Uzumaki Yogetsu evokes an instinctive wariness in Mito Uzumaki, much like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"You're not thinking any weird ideas again, are you? Let me tell you, there's no way you and Uzumaki Yozuki are together."

"You scheming woman!"

Uchiha Nan waved his hand dismissively, ignoring Uzumaki Mito. How could Uzumaki Mito think of him as so despicable? He had been working tirelessly for the future of Konoha.

Uchiha Nan has been very busy lately. In the morning, he handles a whole host of matters in Konoha, and in the afternoon, he trains. In the evening, he goes to Tobirama Senju's laboratory to oversee experiments, and then goes home to fight two opponents at once. He simply doesn't have time to concern himself with trivial matters like personal relationships.

Of course, there are exceptions. Uzumaki Yogetsu stripped naked and blocked Uchiha Nan's bed.

However, the probability of such a thing happening is negligible. Besides, there are two babies at home who need to be fed.

Feng and Ling were well aware of their status; they were nothing more than playthings. Although Uchiha Nan treated them well, the difference in their social status was like a chasm that they could not cross. Uchiha Nan would eventually marry a wife who was worthy of his status, or possibly several. The ninja world was not a monogamous society; polygamy was the norm.

With such a high mortality rate among ninja clans, the birth rate must be increased. Since they can't stop it all, they might as well spend every night with Uchiha Nan, turning into a full-powered juicer to keep Uchiha Nan from thinking about other women and delaying things as much as possible. Deep down, they still don't want Uchiha Nan to be unfaithful.

Watching Uchiha Nan's retreating figure, Mito Uzumaki decided to go home and call Uzumaki Yotsuki. It wouldn't be good to miss such a scene.

But some things are beyond our control.

When Mito Uzumaki returned home, she called out to Tsunade Uzumaki, who was practicing sealing techniques. Upon hearing that the Hokage was going to book out a restaurant for dinner, Tsunade couldn't wait to join them and insisted on going too.

"Grandma, I want to go too! I want to go eat a big meal!"

"Alright, you can come along then."

Mito Uzumaki looked at Tsunade, who was clinging to his arm and acting coquettishly, with doting eyes. It's just going out for a meal, and it's all Konoha's money. Why not take advantage of it!

"Great!"

Uchiha Nan took the Uzumaki clan to a grand feast.

at the same time

Madara Uchiha was also eating, but his meal was a little less substantial. He had rice balls, protein cubes, a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, and a large piece of braised meat – a very hearty meal!

Compared to the workers in other groups, each worker in Madara Uchiha's group received a large piece of braised meat, a daily ration reserved for the elite group. Being able to eat meat every day was already a remarkable thing for these laborers.

Uchiha Nan's few acts of kindness towards these workers were ensuring they had enough to eat each day and maintained sufficient energy to dedicate their labor to Konoha. As for what they ate, that was not something Uchiha Nan should worry about.
