Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Tobirama Senju did a good job in this regard; even when the situation was at its most critical, he never went so far as to throw children into the battlefield to fill the gaps.

After graduation, they were given a buffer period to do some ordinary tasks and get some bloodshed, and then they were put in charge of logistics, which were far from the battlefield and had low risks.

The other four major ninja villages, the smaller ninja villages in the ninja world, and various other ninja forces don't care about these things, nor do they have the ability to attend to them.

"That's really cruel," the assistant director smacked his lips and exclaimed. Uchiha Nan patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Konoha dislikes war. As the Hokage, I personally made this movie to show the future ambitious figures of the ninja world the cruelty of war, hoping they can curb their belligerent hearts."

"The Hokage truly has good intentions."

The assistant director was moved by Uchiha Nan's words. He knew a fair bit about Konoha's reputation in the Land of Fire; it was always known for its benevolence and righteousness.

The other four ninja villages deserve to die!

Filming continues.

Scene 68, Shot 7

This scene depicts the situation where the ANBU ninjas of Kumogakure are on a secret mission in the Land of Fire when their tracks are accidentally discovered by ordinary people. In order to ensure the mission goes smoothly, Kumogakure decides to kill the entire family, sparing even the children.

Konoha's reconnaissance team arrived in time, protecting the family and driving away the Cloud Village members who wanted to kill them to silence them.

This was, of course, Uchiha Nan's own doing. Such shady things happen occasionally on the battlefield, and the five great ninja villages are no different in this regard. It is inevitable that innocent people will be harmed in order to carry out missions.

However, this is a movie made by Uchiha Nan when he was the Hokage. Konoha should be a savior descended from heaven, defeating the Cloud Village that wanted to kill him and save the people of the Land of Fire. Isn't that a matter of course?

"Don't be afraid, child, it's safe now!"

"Crack!"

"Again!"

Uchiha Nan walked up to Uchiha Inahi, looked at her with a disgraceful expression, and then began to scold:

"Daohuo, do you even know what a gentle smile is?!"

"Why is your smile so cold and aloof?!"

This kind of plot, which gives people a great deal of goodwill, is something that Uchiha Nan will definitely do for the Uchiha clan. Subtly adding a moral filter to the Uchiha clan is something that he, as the head of the Uchiha clan, should do.

At first, Uchiha Nan was somewhat patient, since it was quite difficult for an Uchiha to manage a warm smile.

It's just that Uchiha Inahi has NG'd more than ten times, making Uchiha Nan even consider replacing him with another Uchiha clansman to play this role.

"Get lost, get lost! You take over, you Uchiha guy!"

"No, Chieftain!"

"There are too many people here, let's find a less crowded place later."

Uchiha Nan was too lazy to waste words with Inahi. He had given him a chance, but Inahi was useless. Inahi got the role through his own connections, but he didn't even bother to prepare or practice his smile seriously.

"This is the last chance!"

Uchiha Nan returned to his director's seat and gave Uchiha Inahisa one last chance. And you know what? This time, Uchiha Inahisa's smile actually looked quite convincing, with a touch of warmth.

Uchiha Nan nodded; this one was finally approved.

Just as Uchiha Nan was engrossed in directing, Nara Shikamaru ran to the film set and dragged Uchiha Nan back to the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, the filming will have to be postponed for two days. According to Lord Tomita's intelligence, except for the necessary ninjas who will stay behind, the main force will return to Konoha at 10:00 tomorrow."

"Konoha is going to hold a grand welcoming ceremony, and you must attend in person!"

Uchiha Nan then remembered that the triumphant return date set by Uchiha Tomita was indeed in the next few days.

The movie's plot includes a scene where the Konoha ninjas win a war and return in triumph. This time, we can film it on location, which will save us some money!

Uchiha Nan shared her thoughts with Nara Shikagami, who had no objections and simply wanted Uchiha Nan to be happy.

The next day

Uchiha Nan led the Konoha high-ranking officials to set up a grand welcoming ceremony at the main gate of Konoha, with all the film crew's cameras brought out.

To ensure the best possible presentation, Uchiha Kusunoki had sent someone ahead of time to inform Uchiha Tomita that the welcoming ceremony would be recorded by a special camera, and Konoha's morale must be high!

"Tomita, welcome home!"

"Lord Hokage, I have successfully completed my mission and returned victorious. I have also brought you an interesting prisoner!"

"Who is it? It can't be Onoki, can it!"

"No, a bounty hunter! I wonder what's gotten into him?"

"He actually set his sights on Byakugan! He's really strong; I almost got my hands on him. If I hadn't been out for a stroll in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep..."

"I've never seen his body structure before in my life, especially his heart."

"Let's not talk about that now, let's eat at the banquet!"

Uchiha Nan didn't want to talk about such unlucky things on such a joyous day, so he directly dragged Uchiha Tomita to the hotel for the banquet.

The table was filled with Konoha's high-ranking officials, including Nara Shikamaru, Hyuga Takuma, and Uzumaki Mito.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone drank to their heart's content, and the words of praise made Uchiha Tomita down three large bowls of wine in one go.

He had dreamed of this scenario countless times: becoming a commander on one side of the battlefield and leading Konoha to a great victory over the invading enemy. Unfortunately, when Tobirama Senju was Hokage, he didn't give the Uchiha clan any opportunity to command troops and build their reputation.

"Takuma, you have to toast me. There's a bounty hunter whose strength is no less than mine, and he's got his eye on the Hyuga main family's Byakugan. Your Hyuga main family's Byakugan has a bounty of over 100 million on the black market. Luckily, I..."

Tomita Uchiha recounted how he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wandered around, discovering a bounty hunter planning to ambush the Hyuga main family members who were on guard duty far from the camp. He then quietly summoned a team of Uchiha Jonin, and while the Hyuga main family ninjas and their branch family members were entangled with the bounty hunter, they surrounded him and finally captured him alive in a fierce battle.

Hyuga Takuma, who was drunk, was sobered up by the shock and immediately stood up to drink three large bowls of wine to thank Uchiha Tomita. If that reckless bounty hunter had succeeded in his sneak attack, his position as clan leader would have been in jeopardy.

"Let me tell you, that bounty hunter supposedly had five hearts, and we shot four of them out."

Upon hearing the word "five hearts," Uchiha Nan immediately became restless.

Chapter 89 Kakuzu: You're the mastermind behind the futures market? You scoundrel, prepare to die!

A bounty hunter with five hearts?

Kakuzu?

Uchiha Nan recalled the Akatsuki's immortal duo. Kakuzu had been captured alive by Konoha at this time. His sudden emergence had ultimately affected the storyline of the Naruto world, causing a butterfly effect.

Although Uchiha Nan had mentally prepared himself for this, when the butterfly effect actually occurred, a strange sense of absurdity still arose in his heart.

"That bounty hunter even claimed to have fought with the First Hokage, saying that he walked out of Konoha unscathed after assassinating the First Hokage."

"Hahahaha"

"humor!"

"Assassinate the First Hokage?"

"He must have lost his mind, hahaha."

Uchiha Tomita's cheeks flushed red as he recounted all the boastful words he had uttered when Kakuzu was captured, instantly filling the table with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone burst into laughter.

How dare a mere bounty hunter mess with the First Hokage of Konoha!

No one present believed Kakuzu's words, except for Uchiha Nan.

Because Kakuzu actually assassinated the First Hokage, he was jokingly referred to as having thrown a shuriken from 800 li away.

As for the assassination, Kakuzu probably exaggerated quite a bit to glorify himself.

After all, he works as a bounty hunter. If he had promoted himself as having extensive assassination experience and having even assassinated important figures in the ninja world when he first entered the industry, it would have been much easier for him to get jobs.

Although the details were exaggerated, Kakuzu did not lie about the outcome; he truly emerged from Konoha unharmed.

Uchiha Nan decided to meet Kakuzu the next day to find out what had gotten into him that made him dare to attack the Hyuga main clan of Konoha.

For a bounty hunter wandering the ninja world to provoke the bottom line of Konoha's top clans is practically courting death. Anyone with a sane mind wouldn't do something so stupid; he can't possibly be willing to risk his life for a bounty. However, given Kakuzu's personality, it's not impossible that he would do such a thing.

As Uchiha Nan pondered Kakuzu's motives, the people around him continued to offer him drinks. On such a happy day, Uchiha Nan naturally accepted all the toasts and drank himself into a stupor, eventually being carried home by someone.

The next day, Uchiha Nan arrived at the prison where Kakuzu was being held out of curiosity.

Kakuzu was completely bound hand and foot, his body covered with layers of sealing techniques. Uchiha Tomita was very careful with a bounty hunter of Kakuzu's strength, as even the slightest mistake could lead to an accident.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"Those who want to make a move, hurry up."

Kakuzu said weakly, "He seems to have been through a lot these past few days. He's been kept alive by a single soldier's ration pill a day, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his eyelids."

“I don’t want to kill you. Although you have offended the Hyuga clan, I admire your strength and beliefs. If I plead for you, the Hyuga clan will show leniency.”

Uchiha Nan released the sealing jutsu on Kakuzu and handed him a food box containing three dishes, a soup, and several rice balls.

Kakuzu, as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated, opened the food box and began to eat heartily, mumbling incoherently as he ate.

"What is your status in Konoha? Are you trying to recruit me?"

"My target this time is the Byakugan of the main family, the lifeblood of the Hyuga clan."

Kakuzu, a seasoned veteran, immediately understood Uchiha Nan's intentions, but he didn't hold out much hope. The Hyuga clan was currently at its zenith in Konoha, and their leader, Hyuga Takuma, had already become the Hokage's assistant.

To quell the Hyuga clan's anger and recruit him, the Hokage of Konoha would have to intervene.

"I am Uchiha Kusunoki, the Third Hokage of Konoha."

Hearing Uchiha Nan's words, he finally raised his head, revealing an incredulous look. It really was the Hokage of Konoha who condescended to recruit him, a bounty hunter.

"What do I possess that would make the Hokage of Konoha value me so much?"

Kakuzu is no longer the naive ninja who could be easily swayed by a few words from the village's higher-ups to assassinate Hashirama Senju.

Having worked as a bounty hunter for so many years, he had seen too many scoundrels who would be all smiles and calling you brother one second, only to stab you in the back for profit the next.

His heart had long since turned to ice; he would never believe in anything other than money in this lifetime.

Uchiha Nan saved me because he definitely wanted to gain something from me!

However, Kakuzu was puzzled. He knew very well that he was a prisoner who could be executed at any time. What could Uchiha Nan possibly value?

A master of martial arts?

Uchiha Kusanagi has no shortage of powerful ninjas willing to risk their lives for him.

"That is naturally your belief. I know your past. You were once ordered by the higher-ups of Takigakure to assassinate the First Hokage of Konoha. Later, the First Hokage kindly let you go, and you managed to escape back home, but you were made a scapegoat."

Uchiha Nan recounted the past that Kakuzu least wanted to recall. Kakuzu let out a burp, a self-deprecating smile on his face, and slowly said:
