Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Undeterred ninjas who wanted to make money used Shadow Clone Jutsu. The moment the Shadow Clone Jutsu disappeared, the fatigue would return to the original body, easily leading to their own demise. However, in order to earn their retirement money as soon as possible, there were quite a few disabled ninjas who created one or two clones, earning two or three salaries.

"Sir, the Hokage has made his decision. This afternoon, atop the Hokage statue in Konoha..."

"This afternoon, oh, okay."

Madara Uchiha was having a headache. His goal for the month was to achieve the highest personal output at the factory.

He, Uchiha Madara, no matter what job he does, whether he's a ninja or a worker, he always strives to be number one!

Madara Uchiha's personality was such that even when he was in prison, he was always the fastest at operating the sewing machine.

The down-on-his-luck, disabled ninja used shadow clones, and so did he!

It's just a matter of rolling it up; let's see who can roll it up faster!

Now I'm going to waste an afternoon, but I can't forget my important business. Uchiha Nan was my original reason for coming to Konoha. Sigh. I'll just use a clone to get things done this afternoon!

Uchiha Madara agreed to the shop owner's request and then hurriedly returned to his post.

"This...this person is someone even the Hokage is so wary of!"

The shop owner watched Madara Uchiha walk away, muttering to himself, unable to understand why Madara was working so hard.

A common man like him would naturally not understand Madara Uchiha's thoughts. Madara Uchiha had already transcended the base desires of the world and was now simply experiencing life and doing something interesting for a moment's pleasure.

After get off work, Madara Uchiha went straight to the Ninja Academy and found Sosuke Ito. He also mooched lunch from Sosuke Ito. The student meals at the Ninja Academy were indeed very good, and Madara Uchiha enjoyed his meal very much.

Hearing that he would be able to meet Hokage Dai. Ito Sousuke this afternoon, he got really excited. He even ate two extra bowls of rice at noon. He went home to change into new clothes and dressed up carefully before meeting Uchiha Nan.

To be personally received by Uchiha Nan was an incredible feat for a nobody at the ninja academy like him. Full of youthful pride and eager to show off, he displayed a complete set of cards at the school, and instantly everyone stood up!

in the afternoon

Uchiha Nan, dressed in his full attire—the divine robes and Hokage hat—arrived dashingly atop the Hokage statue mountain, quietly awaiting Uchiha Madara's arrival. Looking down at the dense crowds below, who appeared like ants from this height, a complex emotion welled up within him.

After waiting for a while, Madara Uchiha and Sousuke Ito finally climbed up the mountain. It was indeed a bit slow for a child to climb a mountain.

Panting, Sosuke Ito climbed to the top. Just then, a cool breeze blew across the blue sky and green grass. The refreshing wind eased Sosuke's fatigue considerably, and he looked into the distance.

Uchiha Nan was standing there, his cloak fluttering in the wind, and the words "Third Hokage" were faintly visible on his back. Ito Sousuke felt his heart pounding faster!

Hokage-sama!!

Ito Sousuke really wanted to greet Uchiha Kusunoki loudly, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. He was so nervous!

Madara Uchiha glanced at the nervous Sosuke Ito, a brat who had never seen the world, and then looked at Nanami Uchiha in the distance.

It does look quite similar. The Hokage's robes are really cool to wear. I had the chance to wear them myself back then, damn Tobirama Senju.

If I had become Hokage back then, I might have personally discovered Uchiha Nan, made him my disciple, and carefully trained him to become the Third Hokage.

Thinking about it carefully, if that's the case, Hashirama should still be alive. If I want to awaken the Rinnegan, I'll ask Hashirama for a piece of meat, and he'll definitely give it to me. Konoha will definitely be more prosperous than it is now in my and Uchiha Nan's hands. In the future, this prosperity will expand to the entire ninja world, and we'll also utterly crush that bastard Tobirama Senju!

That would be so wonderful, it's such a pity.

Madara Uchiha walked with Sousuke Ito with some regret, slowly approaching Nana Uchiha.

"Lord Hokage!"

Ito Sousuke approached Uchiha Kusunoki, mustering his courage to greet her. He had never been so close to Uchiha Kusunoki before. The Hokage was just as handsome as in the photos.

"You must be Sosuke Ito, hello."

Uchiha Nan smiled, walked up to Ito Sousuke, and patted his head. The head pat is timeless!

Ito Sousuke, quite pleased with himself, quickly pulled a brand-new copy of The Will of Fire from his backpack and handed it to Uchiha Nan, hoping that Nan could sign the book.

"Ito Sousuke, I wish you success in becoming an excellent ninja."

Uchiha Nan

It was a very simple blessing, but it made Ito Sousuke incredibly excited. He knew that if he took this book to the school, it would drive all the students at the Ninja Academy crazy with envy.

Ito Sousuke happily accepted the little red booklet with both hands, only then remembering Uchiha Madara behind him.

"This is Grandpa Banzhuan. He collected all the cards and gave them to me."

Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Madara's transformation technique and realized that he had truly changed his appearance.

But why don't the emo/shamate style change its look?

Chapter 143 Uchiha Madara: Who are you calling a frog in a well?

hokage rock

Uchiha Nan smiled and stepped forward to greet Uchiha Madara. On the surface, he appeared calm and composed, but in reality, he was panicking terribly.

Facing Uchiha Madara, the ultimate boss in the later stages, Uchiha Nan was still a little scared. Why was there a child with him now? Uchiha Nan had already read through Ito Sousuke's information, whether it was his family background, talent, or interpersonal relationships. There was nothing special about him. He was just an ordinary child.

How am I going to get rid of this brat? It would be so embarrassing to kneel down and acknowledge him as my godfather in front of him.

But you should admit defeat when it's time to admit defeat. Uchiha Nan just hopes that Uchiha Madara won't suddenly pilot a Gundam at the drop of a hat.

However, the conversation went smoothly and wasn't as scary as Uchiha Nan had imagined. It was just like a normal fan meeting.

The kind and approachable Hokage, the adorable and ambitious child, and Madara Uchiha diligently contributing his labor to the factory—the scene was exceptionally harmonious.

Yes, Madara Uchiha has entered the factory. Uchiha Nan was shocked by this. Originally, Uchiha Nan thought it was Madara Uchiha's disguise, but she did not expect that Madara Uchiha was really working hard in the factory.

Madara Uchiha, the Asura of the Ninja World!

Working in a factory in Konoha? Who would believe that?!

Madara Uchiha complained to Nanami Uchiha about the life of a factory worker, such as the limited variety of food, insufficient rest time, frequent overtime work with reversed day and night schedules, and low wages.

But happiness depends on comparison. You're hungry all day, barely able to eat or even get a sip of hot water. I work hard in the factory every day, but at least I can eat my fill and have a place to stay. The workers may complain, but they still go to the factory every day to tighten screws with great skill.

No worker wanted to go back to the days when they were living hand to mouth and might starve to death on the roadside.

Madara Uchiha thoughtfully relayed the complaints of his fellow workers to Nana Uchiha. As a seasoned capitalist, Nana Uchiha was very proactive in admitting his mistakes to Madara Uchiha, but changing the current situation was unrealistic and would require a long time to develop.

But at least Uchiha Nan made sure that these ordinary people had enough to eat.

In the future, as long as we keep making the pie bigger, the cuts will be enough for ordinary people to make a living and enjoy the benefits of increased productivity and technological development. Then, the grand goal of achieving peace in the ninja world will be more or less achieved.

Furthermore, Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, was working tirelessly to contribute to Konoha and to the technological advancement and productivity of the entire ninja world. He worked almost around the clock, without a break all year round.

Even a dead man like Tobirama Senju was working hard, so why shouldn't the living strive for Konoha?

It's impossible for the real world to be as wonderful as Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Reality is too cruel. There are some things Uchiha Nan can't say outright, lest she ruin this wonderful atmosphere. Uchiha Nan first affirmed Uchiha Madara's idea. The factory does indeed have many problems, and the workers' living conditions will definitely be improved in the future. However, Konoha is still in a difficult situation right now, and money is needed in various places. Things will get better in the future, so everyone should be patient. As for how long to be patient, cough cough, it's hard to say.

Ito Sousuke, standing nearby, kindly spoke up for Uchiha Nan, understanding the difficulties Uchiha Nan faced as Hokage. He said that as long as these poor students could enter the Ninja Academy, they could take time off to study.

What a load of rubbish about taking time off work; they'll never understand the hardships of working people. Students on leave work are the least able to distinguish their own class affiliation, which is also their most valuable trait—they can always stand on the side of the most vulnerable group.

However, Uchiha Nan was not a weakling. The reason he was able to gain the support of the common people was mainly because the noble lords of the Land of Fire treated him unfairly, which gave him too many points. Even if Uchiha Nan submitted a blank paper, he could still get a score close to full marks.

In conclusion, Uchiha Nan was a great philanthropist!

Madara Uchiha wasn't an idiot; he was very intelligent, just not well-educated. He could see that Uchiha Nan's attitude of admitting his mistakes was sincere, but that was all there was to it, and the actual situation wouldn't change.

Madara Uchiha didn't say much. He sent his clones out to take on bounty missions and earn money. He'd seen the state of the ninja world before; Konoha was practically paradise on earth. The workers' complaints could even be categorized as happy troubles, the comical laughter caused by overeating.

How wonderful! There was no fighting or bloodshed. The conversation was very comfortable and pleasant. Madara Uchiha didn't cause any trouble for himself, and didn't even mention the Eye of the Moon plan.

Uchiha Nan's heart was finally at ease, and he stood up straight.

"Third Hokage, you wrote this book very well, I really like it. Putting aside strength, you see further than Hashirama."

Madara Uchiha pointed to the red booklet that Sosuke Ito was holding in his arms, and said something meaningful that left Nan Uchiha puzzled. However, he instinctively felt that he should be careful about the conversation that was about to begin, as Madara was about to have a debate with him.

"It's merely standing on the shoulders of giants; without the First Hokage's efforts, and of course, Madara-sama's, there are no exceptions. Both of them made indelible contributions to Konoha."

Uchiha Nan answered very politely, and in his words he slightly praised Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara who was standing in front of him disguised.

This is how you have to flatter someone!

Hmm, this flattery smells delicious!

Madara Uchiha could barely suppress the smile on his face.

"Hashirama's thinking is too naive; I prefer Madara Uchiha."

Madara Uchiha still wants to be superior to Hashirama Senju; what an annoying, arrogant old man. Uchiha Nan commented on this:

"Uncle Banzhu, your insight is brilliant!"

"Oh, by the way, who is this Zhang San?"

Madara Uchiha suddenly remembered this guy named "Zhang San". There was a person named Zhang San after the author's name in the new version of Will of Fire. Madara Uchiha was very interested in him and wished he could meet him.

"He is a smart and stubborn old man who has made great contributions to Konoha. He is used to working silently in the dark to generate electricity for love."

"Zhang San is actually that powerful?"

Madara Uchiha was even more curious, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he actually saw "Zhang San," he would probably rush up in his Gundam.

The hatred for killing his brother is irreconcilable. Madara Uchiha would crush Tobirama Senju's reanimated body a hundred times, a thousand times wouldn't be enough! Aaaaaahh ...

"It's such a pity he died so young."

Uchiha Nan stopped the conversation in time, not giving Uchiha Madara a chance to ask to meet Zhang San.

A chaotic revenge battle ensued, with Madara Uchiha annihilating Tobirama Senju (image). Uchiha Nan really wanted to see it and even wanted to record a video, but not now, since Tobirama Senju himself was still using it!

“What a pity!”

Madara Uchiha's tone was tinged with regret. It was such a waste that this man was dead; if he had met him, they probably would have become friends. Madara continued to press Nanami Uchiha with questions—all sorts of things: peace in the ninja world, the future development of Konoha, how to wipe out the Five Great Ninja Villages, and productivity development. These were questions Nanami had already debated many times with Tobirama Senju in the underground laboratory.

"First of all, we must believe that peace in the ninja world will definitely come, but it will be accompanied by growing pains. Wars similar to the First Shinobi World War will happen again sooner or later, and the scale of the war may even be larger and affect a wider number of people."

"What Konoha needs to do is groundbreaking, fundamentally changing the nature of ninjas. Ninjas are not tools for carrying out missions, but the backbone of creating social wealth. If this is not changed, the so-called peace is nothing but a false peace."

"."

Madara Uchiha tried hard to digest Uchiha Nan's words, reflecting on the path he and Hashirama Senju had taken, a path he had never considered before.

The two were trapped in the mindset of ninjas and established a ninja village called Konoha. However, the ninjas still accepted mercenary missions for money as before. The armed forces based on ninja clans evolved into armed forces based on large ninja villages. It was just a change in name only.

Ninja clans can turn against each other due to their workload and mission objectives, and ninja villages are no exception.

Uchiha Nan tried his best to explain his point of view, hoping that Uchiha Madara would listen. He believed that ninjas only knew how to fight and kill, and were simply unambitious. Gangsters didn't use their brains and would remain gangsters for life. The right path was to master production tools, achieve self-sufficiency, cultivate management talent, and establish a nation belonging to ninjas.
