Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

"This is really difficult!"

Uchiha Nan looked embarrassed. But to Senju Tobirama, his acting was exceptionally clumsy.

Tobirama Senju knew exactly what kind of person Uchiha Nan was. Did Uchiha Nan even possess lofty morals?

This guy is clearly doing it on purpose!

I really want to punch him!

However, when Tobirama Senju thought of Momoma Senju, he had to suppress his resentment. He had no choice but to bow down to Uchiha Nan if he wanted to protect Momoma Senju!

For the sake of Senju Momoka, it wouldn't be a problem to say a few kind words to Uchiha Nan. His so-called face and dignity were almost gone from Uchiha Nan's eyes; there was some, but not much, so losing a little more wouldn't really matter.

But there's still Uchiha Tomita!

Losing face in front of Uchiha Nan is acceptable, since it's happened more than once or twice, but losing face in front of Uchiha Tomita is unacceptable!

There are too many people here, I need to find a quiet place!

"Uchiha Kusunoki, there are outsiders here. Uchiha, come inside with me!"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Tomita Uchiha, then grabbed Nan Uchiha and headed towards a room further inside.

"I'm a Hokage with professional ethics. Even if you, the Second Hokage, begged me, I wouldn't allow it!"

Uchiha Nan drew out the last syllable of his name, his expression smug, as if the words "beg me" were written all over his face, making Tobirama Senju really want to give Uchiha Nan a Flying Thunder God Slash!

But...sigh.

"Uchiha Kunan, I'm begging you this time!"

You know, Momoma is my older brother's son, and my older brother was the First Hokage. Even if Momoma made a mistake, you, the Third Hokage, still have to help him."

"Stop, stop."

"Now that you acknowledge me as the Third Hokage, I remember someone always calling me a usurper, and wouldn't even call me 'Hokage-sama' when they saw me."

"You have absolutely no respect for me, the Hokage!"

Uchiha Nan spoke sarcastically, watching Senju Tobirama suppress his anger while still maintaining a smile.

Hey!

This is so much fun!!

"Uchiha... Hokage-sama, is that alright with you? Momoma is the older brother."

Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth and vowed in his heart that he would one day regain his dignity!

"Since you've asked me so sincerely, I'll mercifully grant your request."

Uchiha Nan should know when to stop. If he really pushes Senju Tobirama to the brink, it will definitely not do him any good.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Upon receiving Uchiha Nan's assurance, Tobirama Senju's attitude instantly changed. He went from being obsequious to arrogant, a situation that is quite laughable.

"Tch! How hypocritical!"

Uchiha Nan waved his hand dismissively, not at all surprised by Tobirama Senju's rapid change of expression.

"snort!"

Tobirama Senju snorted softly, ignoring Uchiha Nan's words. This naturally evil Uchiha brat just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

That's truly evil!

"I plan to arrange for a raid on Senju Momoma's laboratory tomorrow and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"According to intelligence, one or two of the Senju clan's experiment subjects are already on their deathbeds."

When Uchiha Nan brought up serious matters, Senju Tobirama's expression immediately turned serious, as this involved members of the Senju clan.

"Yes, the sooner the better."

"After the injection of Hashirama cells, the body's cells will gradually be eroded by the Hashirama cells. If they cannot withstand this erosive force, and the cells linger for too long, even if I have the latest Hashirama cell solution, I'm afraid I won't be able to save them."

Uchiha Nan nodded and discussed the details with Senju Tobirama for a while, finalizing the specifics.

Because Tobirama Senju's existence cannot be exposed to the light, Uchiha Nan had to use a special instrument to record the physical data of Momoma Senju and the other Senju clan members, and then have Tobirama Senju prepare targeted medicines and solutions to resolve the side effects of injecting Hashirama's cells.

This process is rather troublesome, and Tobirama Senju really wants to go see Momoma Senju directly. While treating Momoma Senju, he also wants to let Momoma Senju experience the "care" from an elder.

That brat, he's already dead, and we still have to clean up his mess, groveling and begging that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Uchiha Nan!

This is truly a disgrace!

Once Senju Momoma recovers from his injuries, we'll beat him until he shits himself; otherwise, he'll consider himself clean!

However, Uchiha Nan decisively rejected Senju Tobirama's suggestion. It was better for Senju Tobirama to stay in the underground laboratory. If he came into contact with the Senju clan, he would definitely cause trouble for himself!

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly and offered no objection.

"By the way, Tobirama, later inject Tomita Uchiha with Hashirama cell solution. This is his reward for finding out that Momoma Senju secretly restarted the Hashirama cell experiment."

"understood."

Tobirama Senju, with his deadpan expression, agreed. How annoying! Tomita Uchiha stepped on Momoma Senju's foot and still got a reward. How irritating!

A while later, Uchiha Tomita sat contentedly in the laboratory chair and injected himself with the Hashirama cell solution he had been longing for.

Uchiha Nan watched from the side, and casually exchanged views with Senju Tobirama on the recent developments in Konoha.

The production of penicillin requires time to prepare, including the construction of a brand-new production line and corresponding raw material factories, but it is believed that it will be completed soon. Then it will be able to make a lot of money. As a life-saving drug, its market is the entire Naruto world. It's just a pity that the piracy problem is really difficult to solve. We must try our best to occupy the market, expand the production line, and then reduce costs.

It's impossible to expect those shady ninja villages to respect patents; none of them have the morals to negotiate with. But success can't be guaranteed.

The best way is to attract the market with low prices. If you buy, those ninja villages will obediently pay up.

Electric three-wheeled vehicles have already entered production and have even received orders. Their transportation capacity is undoubtedly crucial for commercial development. Not only does Uchiha Nan value them highly, but merchants from the Land of Fire have also shown great interest in Konoha's development of this lightweight vehicle capable of transporting hundreds of kilograms.

For short-distance transportation, developing electric three-wheeled vehicles is simply the best choice.

It can also indirectly promote the development of the power grid, since electric tricycles always need to be charged!

The importance of large-scale power plants has become apparent. The Daimyo has already sent representatives to Konoha to discuss building a large power plant near the capital of the Land of Fire. Not only the Daimyo, but also some nobles from major cities in the Land of Fire have recognized the importance of electricity and sent representatives to Konoha.

This is a completely new way of using energy!

The seeds of industry in the Land of Fire had already been sown long before Uchiha Kusunoki appeared; in fact, they had already sprouted leaves. Kusunoki's appearance merely accelerated industrial development, especially in terms of technological innovation.

This world actually has internal combustion engines!

Upon seeing Konoha's electric three-wheeled motorcycles, the nobles revealed to Uchiha Kusunoki the latest research progress of their researchers, expressing their anticipation for deeper cooperation with Konoha.

What a bizarre and bizarre world.

However, Uchiha Nan quickly came to terms with it. In the original story, over a few decades, the Land of Fire was able to develop from a backward agricultural country into an industrial country, and its technological strength in certain aspects was even more advanced than in Uchiha Nan's previous life.

This is typical of Naruto, but it's a good thing!

Uchiha Nan saw hope in this—Tobirama Senju was not irreplaceable. He had fallen into a misconception: Naruto was a story about family tragedies disguised as ninjas, with too many things glossed over.

For example, those unsung yet brilliant scientific geniuses in the Naruto world—even without my appearance, the technology of this world would still advance like a mudslide, albeit with some strange twists and turns.

Moreover, nobles are not all insects; some can also be ambitious and want to change the world, although the vast majority are a bunch of idiots.

Technological advancements will promote productivity and thus change production relations; industrial development is the general trend. Many nobles are now opening factories, and they call themselves industrialists.

We despise those stubborn and backward elements who just loaf around and live off the land.

At the same time, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Land of Fire, feeling that there were a group of incompetent people in the court who were seriously hindering the development of the Land of Fire.

However, the nobles who were willing to be proactive were a minority compared to the total number of nobles. They occupied a weak position in the power arena and could only join forces with the second-rate "merchants" in an attempt to overtake them by taking a shortcut.

Konoha's "outrageous" actions in the past year or two have given these industrialists a glimmer of hope. Apart from the opportunistic nobles, representatives of the industrialists are optimistic about Konoha's development philosophy and have extended "invitations" to Konoha.

There is no future in constantly toiling in the land.

Uchiha Nan showed them goodwill, suggesting they could cooperate and make a lot of money together!

To think you can make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible, and to change the world with just one ninja village like Konoha, is simply wishful thinking. Konoha's size is still very small compared to the entire Land of Fire, not to mention the entire ninja world. It's just that it has the biggest fist. (laughs)

Uchiha Nan withheld things from Tobirama Senju that he shouldn't have said, such as recruiting outstanding scientific research talents in the ninja world and forming a brand-new scientific research team.

It's unacceptable to rely solely on Tobirama Senju for the work without considering cultivating outstanding research talent. Otherwise, if Tobirama were to suddenly quit, we wouldn't have any means to counter him, which would be detrimental to Konoha's long-term development.

Konoha's education system also needs further reform to cultivate scientific research talent. In the future, Konoha will always need to cultivate ordinary people without ninja talent, enabling them to learn to read, write, and acquire scientific knowledge, thus popularizing education. However, this requires a large amount of financial, resource, human, and material resources. It is not possible to do this now; we can only take it slowly.

Moreover, this is not something Konoha should be doing. Konoha is currently essentially a mercenary organization, and the ninja academy is just an assassin's school. Uchiha Nan is trying hard to transform Konoha into a qualified warlord, but it also has some capitalist attributes. Alas, Konoha will become a strange species in the future.

Persuade the Konoha leadership to train low-level genin and loosen the talent restrictions for recruiting students. The upper limit of strength is low-level genin; even trash like them can be accepted. This money could be used to train more ninja clan members. Since it involves the interests of ninja clans, even though Uchiha Nan has a high reputation, he still has to hold several Jonin conferences to persuade them and forcefully implement the policy.

Spending money to train ordinary people who have absolutely no combat ability is such a waste of breath, but we have no choice but to do it in the future!

"That's interesting."

With his arms crossed, Tobirama Senju listened with great interest to what Uchiha Nan was saying. During his years as Hokage of Konoha, he had never looked beyond the ninja world. The two exchanged views for a while.

As the two were talking, Uchiha Nan noticed that the alarm in his laboratory had turned red. Had an outsider broken in?

The laboratory automatically activated its emergency backup plan and entered a state of alert, sealing off the area and creating a barrier that activated instantly.

"What's going on?"

"Someone's started messing around!"

Uchiha Nan's expression was full of vigilance as he sprinted towards the abnormality of the specially made sensory barrier.

A viscous black shadow was seen rapidly breaking through the barrier. By the time Uchiha Nan arrived at the scene, only a black shadow remained, flashing past.

So it was Black Zetsu.

The moment Uchiha Nan saw that dark figure, he recognized this filial son of the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha arrived in Konoha, and this filial son of the ninja world, as expected, followed him to Konoha.

Uchiha Nan was prepared for this and had taken some countermeasures—he spent a lot of money to have Uzumaki Mito lead the sealing team and barrier team to research the latest sealing techniques and sensory barriers, specifically designed to counter ninjas skilled in Yin-Yang Release, concealment, and escape.

Black Zetsu, this rat that has been hiding for a thousand years, is so skilled in stealth that it is impossible to find without prior preparation.

If Uchiha Nan hadn't been a transmigrator, he would have already known about Black Zetsu's existence and probably wouldn't have cared. Even if he had set up a special sealing technique and sensing barrier in advance, he might have thought there was something wrong with the sensing barrier in this situation.

"What exactly happened?"

Tobirama Senju arrived late and questioned Uchiha Nan, who had arrived earlier, but the scene in front of him was empty and he got nothing.

"Hmph, just a rat hiding in the sewers."

Uchiha Nan felt a little disappointed. It seemed that Uzumaki Mito's level was not high enough. He still needed to continue to improve the sealing techniques and sensory barriers in the laboratory!

Black Zetsu is a fast coin to be reckoned with.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Um"

"Who would dare to run rampant in the Uchiha clan's laboratory?"

Tobirama Senju frowned. The inescapable trap that Uchiha Nan had laid in the laboratory was something even Tobirama Senju, in his prime, would have shaken his head at. Now, with his strength diminished and his body encased in a specially made tracking and sealing technique, he would have no chance of escaping in this lifetime.

How can someone escape so easily now?

"Who is it?" Tobirama Senju asked with great curiosity.

"The Sage of Six Paths' younger brother," Uchiha Nan replied with certainty.

"Hmph, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. Why bother making up such a ridiculous story to fool me?"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with Uchiha Nan, and left without looking back. He was already in a bad mood today and didn't want to argue with Uchiha Nan anymore. The fact that someone had invaded the laboratory was a problem that Uchiha Nan should solve!

These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth. It's really strange!

Uchiha Nan shook his head and followed.
