Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

"A frog in a well?"

Madara Uchiha's pride was hurt. Although Nan Uchiha did not name him directly, the implication in his words was all too clear!

Who can reign supreme in the ninja world?

Who else could it be but myself!

After Uchiha Nan finished speaking, he observed Uchiha Madara's expression. Hmm, thankfully, he didn't get angry!

"Yes, the source of a frog in a well's ninja power comes from chakra, and the source of chakra is that woman named the Rabbit Goddess. The limit that a ninja can approach is probably... even the First Hokage, or Madara Uchiha. Hmph, those two."

Uchiha Nan snorted and didn't continue speaking, his eyes turning to Uchiha Madara.

It's a real shame, really, because the power ceiling in the Naruto world has been locked down – the strongest is the Six Paths level.

After all, this is a world where bloodlines are paramount. All power originates from Kaguya Otsutsuki, and the bloodline of her descendants is gradually diluted. The Sage of Six Paths could use chakra to release ninjutsu at will, but by the time of Indra's generation, they had to rely on hand seals to release ninjutsu.

Each generation is worse than the last. The reason why Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju could stand at the top of the ninja world was largely because they were the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, and their bloodlines were closer to the Otsutsuki clan. But even so, they were still limited by their bloodlines and could not improve their strength further.

The pool of players capable of reaching the Six Paths level has long been fixed, with only the Uchiha clan having the opportunity to achieve it.

Even the Senju clan couldn't do it. The key to reaching the Six Paths level—the Rinnegan—can only be cultivated by the Uchiha clan. By using the power of the Rinnegan, they can summon the Gedo Mazo, collect the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, and advance to the Six Paths level.

This world is truly hell. Your birth determines the upper limit of your strength, and no matter how talented you are, it's hard to find a new path. Ordinary people who have no connection with the Otsutsuki family will most likely only have that one moment of brilliance at their limit—Guy's Night Guy kick!

This is how the world created by Xiao Rizi has always been, Uchiha Nan's heart is full of malice.

Madara Uchiha pondered Uchiha Nan's words and ultimately realized with dismay that they were indeed true.

After awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength has not improved significantly and has been weakening as his body ages.

"The truth of the matter between the First Hokage and Lord Madara is hard to say, and later generations cannot fathom it, but it is indeed regrettable that the two became enemies. Perhaps if the two had joined forces, they could have succeeded."

"Forget it, forget it, it's better not to say it, you wouldn't understand anyway."

Uchiha Nan's words were vague. He looked up at the sky with a regretful expression, glancing at Uchiha Madara out of the corner of his eye.

Madara Uchiha smiled, "Could you please suppress that?"

This brat, so he really did see that stone tablet? His eye power is quite immense. He even knows the secrets that only the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can see.

By combining the powers of the Uchiha and Senju, one can obtain the myriad forms of the universe and give birth to the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths!

"It seems the Third Hokage has quite ambitious goals."

"Of course. What predecessors could not do, successors should try their best. After all, the future of Konoha is the stars and the sea. This ninja world is not enough for me to cause trouble. If I want to break out of this continent, I can't do it without strength."

"The Goddess of the Rabbit comes from beyond the heavens. Her randomly scattered chakra created us ninjas. Where did the Goddess of the Rabbit come from? Does she have any other clans? Are there any more powerful races above her?"

"Does such a powerful being exist in this world, possessing an immortal physical body, traversing the void, remaining eternally unchanging, regarding time as nothing, existing eternally... whose single thought brings forth countless worlds, whose single thought causes countless worlds to perish, transcending time and space?"

"What are the conflicts in the ninja world compared to someone like him? The so-called ninja war is nothing more than ants fighting. A true man should act like this."

"I'm an Uchiha, this is what I should be pursuing."

Uchiha Nan recited a long string of witty words in one breath, saying that instead of worrying about this mere war in the ninja world, it would be better to broaden one's horizons and look towards the vast universe, which is where the Uchiha should dedicate themselves.

Madara Uchiha was speechless. He didn't quite understand the fancy words Uchiha Nan used, but he could hear the arrogance in her tone.

The idea of ​​an immortal physical body, eternal existence, and transcendence sounds incredibly appealing.

What to do? The Eye of the Moon Project seems a bit inadequate now!

Madara Uchiha was completely dumbfounded. Who could have imagined this? Who could have imagined this?

Uchiha Nan wanted to break free from this continent, head towards the stars and the sea, and pursue greater power, surpassing the limits of a ninja.

I am Uchiha Madara!

Still trying to make a living in mainland China!

"It's just a pity, what use is the Hokage to me!"

"I also have the responsibility to strengthen Konoha and wipe out the rest of the ninja world. Finally, I will lead all the ninjas of the world to the stars."

Uchiha Nan was putting on a pretentious show, trying his best to appear magnanimous.

Is the Hokage position a good thing?

That's absolutely fantastic!

The Hokage can mobilize the most powerful armed forces in the ninja world to serve him and seize massive resources to strengthen himself.

For example, the development of Hashirama cell solution consumed a huge amount of resources. In the future, there will be all sorts of experiments, such as exploring the mysteries of chakra, the use of natural energy, and the bloodline power of the Otsutsuki clan. These will eventually be analyzed by science.

In Naruto, where the concept of bloodline is rampant, there are still exceptions like Orochimaru who have struggled to forge their own path. In Boruto, Orochimaru is probably far ahead, having cultivated batch after batch of artificial humans, such as Mitsuki. With his appearance, who would believe he has no relation to the Otsutsuki clan? He has also mastered the perfect Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave and has horns on his head.

These all require a constant investment of large amounts of money and resources. Without Konoha as a powerful tree to provide Orochimaru with protection and support, he would probably have to work to earn money and conduct experiments, just like the Akatsuki.

Even with his overpowered abilities, he doesn't need Konoha's help to complete system tasks.

"The Hokage is truly amazing."

Sousuke Ito's eyes sparkled with admiration for Uchiha Nan. After all, he was just a student at the Ninja Academy. Although he was listening to Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Madara's conversation, which even touched on the secrets of the ninja world, he was at a very low level. The conversation went in one ear and out the other. Although he didn't understand it, he thought Uchiha Nan was amazing!

"Haha, it's not that amazing."

"These are just my own plans. You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. Sooner or later, it will all happen."

Uchiha Nan patted Ito Sousuke's head; it was indeed a happy thing to gain the admiration of a child.

Have I set my goals too low? It feels like everything I've painstakingly planned and spent over a decade scheming is nothing more than a trivial matter in Uchiha Nan's eyes.

You're making yourself sound petty!

"The third generation leader is really arrogant."

Madara Uchiha was extremely indignant. He thought to himself that he had dominated the ninja world for so long and had never suffered such humiliation.

"It's just a little bit; everyone should have some grand goals. Compared to that, the world of ninjas is really too insignificant."

Uchiha Nan's words were pointed out: forget about the Eye of the Moon Plan. Our Konoha's goal is the stars and the sea. In a few decades, the Otsutsuki clan will be attacking. The storyline is already a mess. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, those two tall guys, will not appear. He himself has become the tall guy who takes the fall.

The Great Toad Sage must have some skill; the "enemy from outer space" probably refers to the Otsutsuki clan, whose strength surpasses the upper limit of the ninja world, with each member possessing the Rinnegan and countless bizarre eye techniques.

In Boruto, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were beaten like grandsons by Isshiki Otsutsuki, without the slightest power to fight back.

Even after completing the system tasks and obtaining the Chakra Fruit, Uchiha Nan still didn't feel entirely confident facing the Otsutsuki clan.

One person alone cannot support the whole effort.

Fortunately, Tobirama Senju is there, and he's definitely got the scientific research under control. In addition, Orochimaru is being trained so that the situation in this world in the face of the Otsutsuki clan's invasion should be much better.

However, these are things that cannot be said. Uchiha Nan really couldn't figure out what Madara Uchiha was thinking. After all, he just needed to proceed step by step according to the plan. As for Madara Uchiha, he should just stay in the underground cave and not cause any trouble.

"Then I'll wait and see. I'll be watching the Third Hokage closely, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

Madara Uchiha's words were quite profound; he had truly learned something new today. Uchiha Nan's words were indeed very appealing. If anyone else had said these things, Madara wouldn't have believed a single word, but since it was Uchiha Nan, their credibility was extremely high. Moreover...

Uchiha Nan must have already seen that stone tablet and learned the secret of the Rinnegan. He might even be secretly researching how to awaken the Rinnegan.

As for the Eye of the Moon Plan, Madara Uchiha doesn't know if Nanami was interested, but it's highly likely she wasn't.

If I were to reveal my identity now, hoping to recruit Uchiha Nan into my Eye of the Moon Project, it would be quite embarrassing; it would make me seem petty.

Uchiha Nan has already set his sights on the starry sky. The turmoil in the ninja world is like ants fighting—what a boastful tone! Oh well, let's wait and see.

When Konoha was ganged up on by the four great ninja villages, Uchiha Nan became obedient. He thought, "Let's wait a little longer; it's not time for me to show up yet."

"Sousuke, you've already met the Third Hokage once, it's about time you went back."

After finishing his speech, Madara Uchiha prepared to leave. He needed to speed up his progress; he absolutely had to awaken the Rinnegan. As for the Eye of the Moon plan, well, we'll discuss that later.

If I were to awaken the Rinnegan, summon the Gedo Mazo, collect all nine tailed beasts, and become the second Sage of Six Paths, the starry sky above the continent would indeed be worth exploring. At that time, that brat Uchiha Nan might even ask his ancestor to guide him!

"Oh, Hokage-sama, I'll be going now!"

"Ito Sousuke said reluctantly, then followed Uchiha Madara down the mountain."

Phew. Finally, that old man got rid of him. Uchiha Nan watched the backs of Uchiha Madara and Ito Sousuke and let out a long sigh. It was really not easy to make promises to Uchiha Madara. He wondered if Madara would even listen.

Uchiha Nan doesn't object at all to Madara Uchiha wanting to become the second Sage of Six Paths, since Madara is her ancestor after all. Madara was able to win over Sasuke Uchiha in the final battle, and Nan is no less capable than Sasuke, so there shouldn't be any problem, as long as Madara doesn't have his eye on the Eye of the Moon plan.

In the afternoon, Konoha was safe and sound. A storm that almost swept through the entire village had quietly subsided.

Madara Uchiha returned to his work station, screwing in screws while continuing his attempt to awaken the Rinnegan. Awakening the Rinnegan is a slow and meticulous process that cannot be rushed. However, compared to Nana Uchiha's progress, hahaha, he was far ahead, far ahead!

Ito Sousuke returned to the Ninja Academy and showed off his new version of the Will of Fire booklet, which had Uchiha Nan's autograph and words of encouragement for him. He became the envy of the whole class and showed off for an entire afternoon.

Uchiha Nan returned to his office to slack off, a huge weight lifted from his heart. Uchiha Madara was temporarily calmed down. Given Uchiha Madara's personality, his words meant he wouldn't cause any trouble for the time being, such as suddenly activating Susanoo to fight him. It was just a matter of whether he would still stay in Konoha.

But whatever. I can't possibly send someone to monitor Madara Uchiha. Madara doesn't know that I already know his identity, so there's no need to go to the trouble of creating unnecessary problems.

As long as Madara Uchiha is focused on awakening the Rinnegan, that's fine. This process will take at least ten years, and it would be good if the status quo could be maintained.

Uchiha Nan was happily slacking off in the office, but Nara Shikamaru spoiled her rare moment of happiness.

"Lord Hokage, it's so kind of you to be in your office. I have a batch of urgent documents waiting for your approval."

"Konohako-sensei is going to Sunagakure as an exchange student. I need to review the detailed list, which includes those accompanying him."

"Please take a look at the deployment of the accompanying infrastructure personnel and engineering teams."

These past few days, Uchiha Nan hasn't been around in the afternoons, always appearing and disappearing without a trace. He doesn't seem to care much about Konoha's affairs, as he's been diligently training in Sage Mode. He only has time to handle things in the mornings, and sometimes he's even late. But there are just too many things to do in Konoha, and they're only increasing. It's really exhausting to finish everything in the mornings. It's quite a feat that he's managed to catch Uchiha Nan in the afternoons to deal with Konoha's matters!

The cooperation plan with Sunagakure, which had been in the works for some time, had already begun. The caravan had set off long ago to provide Sunagakure with the daily necessities they lacked.

But things like setting up factories and preparing to buy and sell chakra are much more complicated, especially since some of Konoha's clan members have to be sent to Sunagakure to study. They're not going there to enjoy themselves, but to suffer.

The environment in Sunagakure Village is amazing. Even drinking water is rationed every day.

A myriad of matters awaited the arrangement of Uchiha Nan, the hands-off manager.

Uchiha Nan looked at the pile of documents on the table. Perhaps sometimes, a one-on-one man-to-man battle between himself and Uchiha Madara wouldn't be so bad!
