Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

"Recast the glory of the Flame Fan".

"For the Uchiha, kill!"

In a corner of the forest, the fighting continued.

The ninja Uchiha Tekka of the security forces leaped forward. Having completed the release of the eye-binding genjutsu, a cold light flashed as he swiftly slit the throat of an ANBU member wearing a boar mask.

Blood mixed with rainwater meandered into streams on the scorched earth.

"Announcement to the entire village—"

The voice pierced through the rain. Uchiha Shu looked up at Yamanaka Inoichi and gave a precise order: "The new Hokage shall take office immediately. Setsuna Uchiha and Yatsuho Uchiha shall lead a team to the capital to request permission from the Daimyo and complete all procedures."

Before we have the strength of Hashirama Senju, the program should proceed as it should.

If you can get state funds, then take them.

Uchiha Shu wasn't getting cocky; he was just making trouble for himself.

"Yes, the fifth generation."

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was in charge of Konoha's overt intelligence work, was slightly surprised, but nodded in agreement and quickly formed hand seals:

"Ninja Art: Mind-Reading Technique"

It involves communicating directly with a designated target without using any devices, is highly efficient, and belongs to stream-of-consciousness communication.

During this period, the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan traveled back and forth, actively suppressing resistance within the clan.

Alive.

To dedicate oneself to Konoha Village.

Before the battle, the old clan leader Hiruzen specifically told everyone... not to live with resentment.

Moreover, children need to be looked after by adults.

Sungai tribe.

In the ancient pavilion, Hiashi Hyuga's Byakugan stared intently in the direction of the Forest of Death, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Father..." Hinata Hyuga clutched the hem of his clothes tightly.

"It's all over now."

Hiashi lowered his head and sighed, "Come with me to pay respects to the Fifth Boss."

In a corner, an elder hesitated, "What if those Uchiha lunatics mind that we didn't speak up soon and want to settle scores with us?"

"Liquidation?"

Another elder from the clan sneered, "At least 30% of the young and strong men in the Konoha Guard have died in battle. The Hokage position was hard-won... What we need most now is stability."

A few kilometers away.

Wearing a white trench coat and carrying a large insect jar, Aburame Shiki felt the swarm of insects stirring in her sleeves, and the image of Tone's corpse being pierced by Wood Release flashed through her mind.

"Shino, go and pay your respects to the Fifth Hokage... and while you're at it, retrieve Torane's body and denounce Danzo's atrocities."

When Shimura Danzo was in power, he coerced too many talented young ninja clan members, brainwashed them, and planted the seal of annihilation in their tongues...

In terms of being inhumane, Guo Ying truly leads the pack.

Nowadays, by using this method of accusation, one can smoothly sever ties with the past and naturally gravitate towards the Uchiha clan.

"May the Sage of Six Paths protect us; the Fifth Hokage isn't crazy."

Similar scenes also occurred in the Inuzuka clan's territory.

The ninja dogs howled and barked towards the direction of the Forest of Death!

Even through the barrier, the dog could still sense an unsettling chakra reaction.

Over the next period of time, all the clans in Konoha Village, regardless of age, were notified in turn by Yamanaka Inoichi.

The situation is crystal clear. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who are closest to the Sarutobi clan, have already made their stance clear, so why should anyone insist?

Those ninjas who were truly willing to die for the Third Hokage's Will of Fire and disobey the new Hokage's orders have either been wiped out or committed suicide.

After all, if no one was willing to die for him after being in power for so many years, then Hiruzen Sarutobi would be too incompetent.

the other side.

The Naruto Yan Rock Shelter.

The houses were located right next to the Death Forest, and all the civilians who were worried about the recurrence of the Nine-Tailed Night were settled here.

There were five ANBU squads, plus teachers urgently transferred from the Ninja Academy to provide protection.

The owner of Ichiraku Ramen gently patted his daughter Ayame's shoulder, silently comforting her.

"Can the Hokage defeat those red-eyed guys...?"

"Shh." Shou Da quickly covered her mouth.

It is common knowledge that there are many troublemakers in the village who bully others at the drop of a hat. If the members of the garrison are not fierce and do not enforce the law strictly, how can they keep these guys in check?

Moreover, who wins or loses is not very important to small business owners.

As long as the shop is open, the noodle shop will continue to do business as usual once it gets light.

"Naruto."

"Sasuke-kun..."

In a secluded corner where no one paid attention, Sakura Haruno buried her head in her knees and cried softly.

The Forest of Death.

The turmoil gradually subsided.

"Collect any bodies that can be found and register the names of those killed in action and those who are missing."

"The ashes were moved to the memorial."

Just as confident as when he took over as captain of the East Blue, Uchiha Shu didn't need to wear any divine robes to enhance his aura. He quickly got into character and began to give orders:

"Regardless of faction, all those who die in action will receive compensation according to the standards for those who die in foreign combat."

"The seriously injured should be taken to the hospital immediately and the medical team should provide emergency treatment. Don't skimp on medicine."

"The standards for wounded soldiers' compensation are also based on those for foreign wars."

"Yes." Jonin class leader Shikaku responded immediately.

According to his understanding, the village is facing financial difficulties.

However, this was the first official decree issued publicly after the fifth magistrate took office, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Furthermore... this move sends a very clear signal of reconciliation to the outside world.

It is conducive to village unity.

Perfect!

—The Hidden Cloud Village frequently harassed the borders of the Land of Fire; the Hidden Stone Village plotted in the shadows; the Hidden Mist Village was embroiled in internal strife and had no time to attend to other matters; the Hidden Leaf Village ceded a small portion of its interests to win over the Hidden Sand Village in order to avoid being attacked from both sides.

This is the mess left by the Third Hokage, and the new Hokage's new landscape of the ninja world that he will have to face upon taking office.

Of course, Sunagakure and Konoha are only brothers in name. If they learn about the internal strife and feel that Konoha is falling into further decline, the poor Sunagakure will not hesitate to take a bite out of their good brother.

Isn't this exactly what the Konoha Crush plan six years later was all about?

In addition, there's the Akatsuki organization, which is currently in a dormant state.

Pain of the Six Paths.

Black Zetsu.

The Otsutsuki clan.

"Never before has the village needed to unite as much as it does now." As he spoke, Uchiha Shu glanced at the clan head, Fugaku.

"The garrison forces are ready to deploy at any time, logistical supplies are in place, and with enough civilian ninjas, holding off a major power's front... no problem!"

Having experienced numerous ninja battles and even served as a temporary commander, Fugaku Uchiha responded decisively.

Before our clan produced a Hokage, we were willing to fight to the death for the benefit of the village and to protect the borders of the Land of Fire.

Not to mention now!

However, in the foreseen future, the fifth generation has a kaleidoscope.

It's not a big problem... Xiu will awaken sooner or later.

He even has Wood Release.

Right now, no one dares to press this issue further.

As Hokage, Uchiha Shu had unlimited power.

No need to explain to others.

"Once the Ninja War breaks out, the entire Uchiha clan will not back down an inch," Elder Setsuna said, patting his chest.

Elder Xin, a moderate, muttered to himself, "A little fighting might be good; it could boost Xiu's prestige as the Fifth Hokage. Sigh, seizing power through a coup is never a good thing."

"According to clan records, our Uchiha clan is not only a powerful clan in the ninja world and belongs to the samurai family, but our ancestors also had connections with noble families and court nobles. We are considered half of our own people, so the daimyo will not refuse us."

Yatsushiro, who was preparing to go on a mission to the capital of the Land of Fire, looked smug and showed no signs of fatigue.

"Let's leave. There's no point in staying here tonight."

On the abandoned tower.

Obito Uchiha distorted space and time, silently leaving Konoha Village, his heart filled with killing intent: "Uchiha Shu, Fugaku, Shisui, you're blocking my way."

"Hmph, let those few villages test the waters first, let the dogs fight each other."

Pretending to be fooled by Obito, Itachi, who harbored doubts about him, silently followed and retreated.

That's all.

On the covert front, monitor the so-called Akatsuki organization for Konoha.

—I suspect that the man in front of me is related to the Nine-Tails Night and is the culprit who caused the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage's lineage to become enemies!

It was at this moment that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two great advisors, finally rushed to the Forest of Death.

In the official setting of "The Book of Lin", Mitokado Homura possesses the strength of a Kage, and Utatane Koharu, as the consultant for comparison, is also likely to possess Kage-level strength.

However, the two rarely fight each other directly in the story.

"Tsk, I thought those two guys would be crazy enough to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki, and try to win over the old party to create a new alliance and put two leaders in Konoha together."

Inside his personal storage scroll was a five-ton gold ingot, surrounded by loyal Uchiha powerhouses, and backed by the Main God Space... Uchiha Xiu's gaze was unwavering as he looked at the two.

Quietly, nearly half of his chakra was restored.

They will then seize control of the finances.

Use your strength to lead Konoha to new heights and keep winning.

Then, I will be the most beloved Hokage!
