Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

"Tobirama, you have failed miserably as Hokage. You have no idea how long the Konoha ninja clans have suffered under your leadership."

"You didn't see the look on Mito Uzumaki's face when she got her share of the money, tsk tsk tsk."

"Now that everyone's received their share of the money, they've all started calling me the strongest Hokage of Konoha."

Uchiha Nan, with a smile on his face, mocked Senju Tobirama, whose face immediately darkened.

A failed Hokage?

How can this word be associated with me?

You think you're the strongest Hokage in Konoha? Believe me, I can crush you with one hand.

Tobirama Senju really wanted to punch Uchiha Nan in the face; that arrogant expression was just too annoying.

"Hmph, it's just a little bit of money!"

Tobirama Senju is still putting on a tough front, but in his heart he's starting to look at Uchiha Nan differently.

Did Uchiha Nan reincarnate into the wrong family?

How could those brutes from the Uchiha clan possess such a brilliant mind? Could it be that activating the Mangekyou Sharingan increases intelligence, allowing them to come up with something as unheard of as futures trading?

That's over a hundred billion! If I had that much money in the books when I was Hokage, why would I need to negotiate with Kumogakure? I could have just fought them to the bitter end and captured that bastard Raikage A alive.

Tobirama Senju muttered to himself.

Chapter 83 Uchiha Nan, you'll be hanging on a lamppost to repent sooner or later if you keep going like this.

"Tobirama, you should be very happy, shouldn't you? I am, after all, your successor. I did a very good job as Hokage."

"I led Konoha to negotiate peace with Kumogakure, defeated Iwagakure and Kirigakure, and earned over 100 billion yen."

"I've done such a good job, so give me a smile. Success and fame aren't the goal; just make yourself happy."

Seeing that Tobirama Senju looked a little depressed, Uchiha Nan listed his own great achievements in an attempt to cheer him up.

"Hmph, stop flattering yourself. The successor I chose is Hiruzen Sarutobi. You evil brat from the Uchiha clan are the usurper!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Senju Tobirama instinctively retorted. Konoha was a military organization, and Uchiha Nan's usurpation was purely an act of insubordination, which was extremely taboo.

"But Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely couldn't have done as well as me!"

Uchiha Nan interrupted Senju Tobirama with a confident smile, knowing all too well what Hiruzen Sarutobi's future would be like after becoming Hokage.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had come to power, given his intellect, he would probably have just been robbing Peter to pay Paul, trying to slowly regenerate Konoha's resources by exploiting the Daimyo's ill-gotten gains. Once they were back to full strength, the Ninja War would resume, and then they would start the slow recovery process again – and they'd been doing this for decades.

"Hmph, how did you know?"

Tobirama Senju still wanted to argue, but Uchiha Nan waved his hand and changed the subject. This kind of debate was pointless. Tobirama Senju was looking at him with prejudice, and he couldn't show him the future of Konoha.

"How's the research on those appliances I gave you coming along? These things can make a lot of money."

Uchiha Nan got down to business, having absolute confidence in Senju Tobirama's research abilities, believing that after so much time, there should have been some breakthroughs.

The Naruto era was only about thirty years ago. Although refrigerators and televisions were not yet widespread, they had already appeared.

The technological development of the ninja world cannot be viewed through the lens of the past; in fact, some sophisticated instruments can be made by hand by these ninjas.

"I have completely figured out the structure and working principle of air conditioners, including..."

"But the TV and radio you gave me are more troublesome; it involves signal transmission, converting sound and images into signals."

When Tobirama Senju heard Uchiha Nan ask about his area of ​​expertise, he began to teach Uchiha Nan about his knowledge.

Uchiha Nan listened for a while, then directly interrupted Senju Tobirama's rambling.

He wanted to hear the result directly from Tobirama Senju, and didn't want to hear about the process in between.

"Air conditioners can be manufactured, but televisions and radios still need to be tested for a while."

Uchiha Nan nodded after listening. This progress was already very fast; they had actually managed to manufacture air conditioners.

But simply manufacturing them wasn't enough; Uchiha Nan wanted to mass-produce them and sell them throughout the entire ninja world.

Air conditioners are sure to sell like hotcakes. Summers in the ninja world are unbearably hot. In the Land of Fire, the temperature can reach over 40 degrees Celsius at its hottest. The nobles go to great lengths to cool off, filling their rooms with huge basins of ice, but nothing works.

For a daimyo of that rank to directly hire an ice-style ninja, the price is naturally not cheap. After all, it's an international ninja hiring operation, costing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver per trip. This is just the price for hiring someone; the rest will be charged by the day.

Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature 24 hours a day is no easy task.

"Manufacturing and production are not a problem, but popularization will be troublesome. Air conditioners are powered by electricity, but chakra can also work."

After Tobirama Senju rambled on for a while, Uchiha Nan finally understood. How much chakra could ordinary people possibly have? To promote electrical appliances, the first step was to popularize electricity. The world was still basically in the stage of burning firewood. It would be too difficult to leap two levels directly to the electric age.

Even in Konoha, which has always been at the forefront of technology, electricity has not been widely available. Electric lights in the village are limited to the homes of the great ninja clans, and the villagers still use candles at night.

There are many difficulties.

However, technical issues are not something Uchiha Nan should worry about; he should leave them all to Tobirama.

"Tobirama, your task has become even more demanding: generator, wires, light bulbs."

Uchiha Nan assigned Tobirama Senju a new task, much like reciting a menu.

Tobirama Senju was completely overwhelmed. He would have to study Hashirama cells while dealing with all this stuff. How could he possibly manage it all by himself?

"Are you treating me like a donkey? I'm all alone, without even an assistant."

Tobirama Senju strongly protested against this practice of slavery.

However, his objections were ineffective. After some thought, Uchiha Nan came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

The art of multiple shadow clones!

The main drawbacks of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique are twofold: first, if the user doesn't have enough chakra, the clones won't be able to fight; second, even if the user has enough chakra but creates too many clones, the fatigue from the clones returning to the user's original body could cause the user to die instantly.

But Tobirama Senju didn't need to worry about any of that.

Theoretically, as long as there is enough chakra, one can create an infinite number of clones. If used for combat, they would probably turn into smoke and disappear with a single touch. But this is for scientific research, so there's no need to worry about the clones returning to their original state due to fatigue and death. Tobirama Senju is already a dead man.

These multiple shadow clones are practically made to exploit Tobirama Senju's labor power, instantly transforming him from a single-threaded individual into a multi-threaded one, turning his invincible brain into countless copies.

With dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Tobirama Senju working tirelessly for you 24/7, wouldn't your research efficiency skyrocket?

Uchiha Nan shared his thoughts with Senju Tobirama, leaving Tobirama speechless. What he said actually made perfect sense.

However, his original intention in inventing the Impure World Reincarnation technique was not to treat himself like an animal.

No! This is worse than an animal. At least an animal has time to eat, sleep, and rest.

Uchiha Nan actually made him work 24 hours a day, saying that only the living need to sleep, and that the dead sleeping is simply a waste of time.

When passion becomes a year-round job, it loses its flavor.

Beast!

They truly are born evil Uchiha!

"Tobirama, you were the Second Hokage. Before you died, you devoted yourself to Konoha. Even after you died, your funeral was a way to generate revenue for Konoha. Your soul continues to contribute to Konoha even after you die."

"."

"I would call it a great sacrifice!"

Uchiha Nan kept praising Senju Tobirama, his words clashing sharply with his solemn expression, making Tobirama want to punch him.

How could someone so immoral and unscrupulous be an Uchiha?

What dark experiences did Uchiha Nan go through to become like this?

"Lord Tobirama, don't you want Konoha to become great again?"

Uchiha Nan's words directly put Senju Tobirama in a bind. For the sake of Konoha, his hardships and exhaustion were worth it. I guess there's no such thing as mental fatigue in the Edo Tensei.

Tobirama Senju wasn't quite sure about this. When he invented the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu, he had never thought about it in this direction. Could the soul and spirit be completely exhausted and scattered? "I can agree to your request, but the problem is that in my current state, I simply cannot use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. The sacrifice you used for the technique is really too poor."

Tobirama Senju made a request: he was fine with being a slave to Uchiha Nan, but he needed to be given the opportunity to be a slave. Right now, he could only use the ordinary clone technique.

With an impure body capable of using multiple shadow clones, other ninjutsu could be used with some difficulty, such as his masterpiece, the Flying Thunder God Technique. He might have a chance to escape. Tobirama Senju had his own little scheme in mind.

He still harbored the idea of ​​defeating Uchiha Nan, but his thoughts are different now than before, and his opinion of Uchiha Nan has changed.

From someone who was destined to be killed to someone who could be won over, Uchiha Nan's plans for Konoha were very much to Tobirama Senju's liking, and some of his ingenious ideas even made Tobirama Senju praise them.

Moreover, Uchiha Nan's ambition is even greater than that of his ancestor, Uchiha Madara. While Uchiha Madara's vision was limited to the entire ninja world, Uchiha Nan directly targets the daimyo, wanting to overthrow the ninja world's thousand-year-old system.

However, Uchiha Nan was much more reliable than Uchiha Madara; Madara only knew how to brute force his way through. It wasn't entirely impossible, but regardless, Uchiha Madara still failed.

Uchiha Nan had his own set of theories and action plans, and if he implemented them slowly, he really had a chance to succeed.

Tobirama Senju was also curious to see what the future would be like, with no daimyo and highly developed productivity. Surely it wouldn't still be like it is now, with the ninja world engulfed in war.

Uchiha Kusunoki and Senju Tobirama shared the same grand goal, but they had significant differences. Tobirama felt that he was more suitable to be an executor than Uchiha Kusunoki.

Uchiha Nan is, after all, an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Just because his thought process seems normal now doesn't mean it will always be normal in the future.

For Konoha, he was always an unstable factor, and there was only one person in the entire ninja world who could keep Uchiha from acting recklessly.

That's Tobirama Senju!

Tobirama Senju's goal was to defeat Uchiha Nan and regain the position of Hokage. Does Konoha have a rule that a dead person cannot continue to be Hokage?

Couldn't Tobirama Senju bring the dead back to life?

Moreover, he had been working tirelessly for Uchiha Nan in this dark and gloomy underground laboratory all year round, and all future honors would belong to Uchiha Nan alone. Tobirama Senju could not accept this alone.

Being an unknown, unassuming tree root is not what Tobirama Senju aspired to.

Tobirama Senju envisioned becoming Hokage again. He combined his research abilities with Uchiha Nan's ingenious ideas, making Uchiha Nan his deputy. He could also keep Uchiha Nan in check to prevent him from acting recklessly, and together they could make Konoha bigger and stronger.

This is an absolutely perfect situation; everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

"That's it"

"No problem, I can help you get a stronger body."

While Tobirama Senju was still lost in thought, Uchiha Nan had already agreed to Tobirama's request, since it was a legitimate demand.

Uchiha Nan is no longer afraid of Tobirama Senju causing trouble. He is no longer the rash new ruler who relied on force to ascend to the position of Hokage.

Tobirama Senju has been dead for several months, and the situation in Konoha has changed drastically. The Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Inuzuka clan—whether they are the major ninja clans in Konoha or the unknown small clans—have all been united by Uchiha Nan.

The minor ninja clan member Uchiha Nan gave them a large sum of money, and the major ninja clan member Uchiha Nan not only gave them a large sum of money, but also the rights that Senju Tobirama had never granted them.

Even if Tobirama Senju were to be resurrected, Uchiha Nan wouldn't be afraid of him. Following Uchiha Nan would bring wealth and power, so what would Tobirama Senju have to offer?
