Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

As time went by.

The stench of blood that shrouded the Forest of Death gradually faded away.

The morning sunlight shines down.

Having just walked out of Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto Uzumaki, his belly round from eating, habitually shrank his neck.

In the past, whenever he walked this road, he would always be met with pebbles or cold stares.

But just like yesterday, when the villagers passing by made eye contact with him, they actually nodded on their own initiative, even though their smiles were still somewhat stiff.

Naruto scratched his head, craned his neck, somewhat confused, yet vaguely sensing that this was a good thing...

"My great-grandfather of three generations has died, I should be the one who's sad."

Thinking of this, Naruto Uzumaki felt a long-lost sense of guilt.

Over the past five days, all aspects of his life have seen significant improvement.

Ever since the news broke that the Hokage had been assassinated by the villain Danzo, young ladies wearing headbands have been coming to his house to clean it, remove expired instant noodles and milk, and replenish the refrigerator with fresh fruit.

You don't have to worry about not having enough money to eat noodles anymore.

Because a sum of money just came in.

I heard it will be available every month from now on!

Ichiraku Ramen, Yakiniku Q, Roasted Chestnut, and Three-Color Meatballs – you can eat whatever you want.

After school, his classmates Shikamaru, Choji, and Shino would often invite him to play in their clan's territory.

Most importantly, no one inexplicably calls him a fox demon anymore.

"Hehe, you cocky Sasuke, Sakura-chan, here I come~"

"The Fifth Hokage was truly a man of action."

The middle-aged man at Ichiraku Ramen wiped the sweat from his forehead and watched Naruto skip away as he lifted the curtain. His kneading of the dough slowed down.

"Daddy, I'm home!"

When her daughter, Changpu, returned from grocery shopping, she subconsciously looked up at the Hokage Rock before entering the noodle shop.

A regular tinkling sound came from there.

The craftsmen began their work.

The portrait of the Fifth Hokage, Master Shu, is taking shape under the sunlight, with details already sculpted down to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

So handsome!

Recently, many female ninjas have been talking about this person while eating noodles.

The orphanage is under renovation.

The sealing class, barrier class, and medical class received more government funding.

The treatment of war orphans is visibly improving.

It is said that the Fifth Hokage himself took out a huge sum of gold to subsidize Konoha.

As a result, commerce prospered.

"Dad, this is a newly printed copy of the 'New Rules for Harmonious Behavior in the Village,' which requires that it be posted in the most conspicuous place in the noodle shop before sunset."

"Oh, what did you write?"

"Any form of insult and bullying is explicitly prohibited... A crime of provoking trouble has been added, and serious offenders will be arrested by the Konoha Police Force."

"Haha, that's great."

According to Uncle Hand-Strike, it wasn't just Naruto who benefited; that chubby kid named Choji Akimichi had recently come to eat ramen and dared to loudly ask for ten more servings of char siu, and no one dared to insult his entire clan as pigs.

Shouldn't ninjas have large appetites?

Chakra doesn't just appear out of thin air.

In short, the village is changing rapidly, in a way that no one had anticipated.

The source of the change came from the Hokage's office.

at the same time.

Task Issuance Hall.

Several civilian genin who had completed C-rank missions were handing over their duties. As they whispered among themselves, the topic was no longer the Third Hokage's era, where he had been complaining about the insufficient rewards.

It has been transformed into a free training ground that has just completed its first phase of expansion, and the Mission Risk Assurance Regulations were issued this morning!

Another raise!

After completing each C-rank mission outside the village, you can save money as planned, and also take your wife and children out for a few more sukiyaki meals to replenish and repair your ninja tools.

"That's nice." Genin Iwasaki Yusuke looked up and glanced in the direction of the Hokage's office, where the windows reflected the sunlight.

"That sir... although his methods were somewhat extreme and controversial," he carefully chose his words, "but what he brought was tangible and visible."

The other poor ninjas nodded in agreement.

loyalty!

Clearly, as life improves and past injustices and gossip are forcefully swept away, fear and maladjustment are gradually replaced by a complex, more accepting and acknowledging attitude of observation.

If the Fifth Hokage could continue in power for five, ten, or fifteen years, what would Konoha be like when a new generation grows up?

"Hehe, the increased mission rewards and more benefits are a million times better than the Will of Fire for someone like me with two sons and a daughter."

"Danzo's successful assassination of the Third Hokage doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all~"

"Yes, that despicable Danzo!"

On the other side of the village.

In the Uchiha clan's territory, the young clansmen straightened their backs as they passed the brand-new security headquarters building.

In the clan chief's mansion, Elder Shana, who used to always have a sour face, seemed to have suddenly attained enlightenment and become a Buddha on the spot, and now he smiled at everyone.

Even more dove than the doves.

It's all because the Fifth Hokage's surname was Uchiha!

This alone is enough to wash away the pent-up frustration of the hawks over the years, allowing them to be generous with smiles even when trying to resolve issues through persuasion before resorting to violent law enforcement.

Not to mention, after Xiu came to power, the Uchiha's police authority was clearly defined—to maintain the safety of the village, specifically including gate defense, patrols, guard duty, law enforcement within the village, and responding to sudden threats.

The garrison's private prison was also preserved.

"The daimyo doesn't care about the truth of that night at all. Hearing that someone from our Uchiha clan became the Fifth Hokage, he even took the initiative to increase the government's financial allocation, by a full ten percent compared to when Sarutobi was alive."

Upon returning from his mission to the capital, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha sat cross-legged and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, the Uchiha clan has a long history; we are not merely a martial arts family, nor are we a small, insignificant one."

"That's right. The nobles also wanted to see the Hokage as one of their own. When they saw him off, they said that they would give the village more commissions in the future, the kind that are easy and lucrative."

The elders sipped their tea with satisfaction.

At this moment, Elder Xin, a moderate, offered a reminder:

"I heard that today is the day our Fire Country's princess, Tsunade, returns to the village. Jiraiya may already be in the village."

"That's true, trust me, old man. Don't worry. Fugaku and Shisui are with Xiu, so there won't be any problems." Uchiha Setsuna was full of confidence. "Besides, I've given Xiu a full ten more three-tomoe Sharingan, so he's almost out of supplies."

"That's good. Jiraiya and Tsunade were already dissatisfied with the old order, so there's no reason why they wouldn't know... The external crisis has only just begun."

The old man, who had watched Uchiha Shu grow up, put down his teacup. "By the way, it's fine for everyone to call Shu Shu in private, but remember to use his title at work!"

"Hokage-sama!"

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, which was being watched openly or secretly by everyone, the newly promoted Jonin, Kurenai Yuhi, pushed open the door.

She wore a black and white ninja-style short skirt, her hair was draped to the side, and her beautiful face was accentuated by her deep red eyes.

"Tsunade has arrived."

As she spoke, a blonde beauty emerged from behind the door.

She wore a sleeveless top with a green jacket over it, which concealed her curvaceous figure.

She wore light blue capri pants that accentuated her long, shapely legs.

A corner of the office.

On the newly added table, Hiashi Hyuga was bent over reviewing documents and dealing with all sorts of tedious data.

Upon hearing the noise, he looked up and nodded to the princess as a greeting, then lowered his head to continue serving as a tool for the fifth generation leader.

They handle all sorts of trivial matters.

Hokage's assistance!

This is the courtesy that Lord Xiu bestows upon the Hyuga clan, the second most powerful clan in Konoha.

That night, when he heard the appointment in the Forest of Death, Hiashi could hardly believe it.

Upon receiving the news, the elders of the main family were overjoyed.

He insisted on finding a way to marry a noblewoman from a powerful family and form a marriage alliance with the Hokage, completely disregarding the spread of the Byakugan bloodstains.

This is called a powerful alliance!

As for the woman who marries into the family after being separated from the caged bird? She can't do that and humiliate the Fifth Hokage.

"I just don't understand why the Hokage wanted the Byakugan. He didn't restart any related bloodstain research either..."

Hijikata muttered to himself.

In order to create humans in the God Realm, Uchiha Shu recently asked the Hyuga clan for a pair of Byakugan from the main branch.

Just as Elder Setsuna possessed a three-tomoe Sharingan, the Hyuga main family also had a similar habit in private.

Whether out of awe of his own strength as the Fifth Hokage, or as a form of exchange in return for the core positions he had given to the Hyuga clan.

A flawless eye roll, spot on!

With the Hyuga gene serum scavenged from the Root's secret laboratory and the bonus points, the foundation for a powerful human creation has been laid.

We are just waiting for the space to return.

"Tsunade Princess".

"Tsunade Princess".

Led by clan leader Fugaku, Shisui, standing behind Uchiha Shu like a follower, greeted the princess.

—In terms of lineage, status, combat power, and achievements, she is more qualified than anyone else to compete with Xiu for the Fifth Generation.

"I never imagined... that the Uchiha clan would rise to power in this way."

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade, her chest heaving, spoke first, staring intently at Uchiha Xiu, who was holding the "Book of Seals."

The Fifth Hokage—a man who miraculously possessed both Wood Release and the Sharingan—was casually leaning back in his chair, exuding an air of laziness.

On the Fire Shadow Rock behind the building, craftsmen are carefully carving the details of his face.

The clanging sounds mingled with the distant laughter of children and the calls of vendors.

In terms of people's livelihood alone, in just five days, Konoha Village not only got rid of the bloodshed, but also developed rapidly.

The reason is very simple...

This man is throwing money around like crazy!

He actually paid to become Hokage!!

Five tons of pure gold are being gradually transformed into much-needed supplies throughout the village.

"Even in Sunagakure, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was supported as Kage by mining gold dust to supplement the village's finances, wasn't as... as you."

After thinking for a long time, Tsunade, who was stuck, finally uttered a sentence:

"I love my village."

"Money? It's dirt." Uchiha Shu calmly replied, shifting his gaze from the Book of Seals and focusing on enriching himself.

It wasn't that he was faking it; the price of gold in the Main God Space was indeed too low.

Let alone five tons, even one hundred tons or one thousand tons, we'll exchange as much as the village needs.

Inflation? There's no need to worry about that for now. The ninja world has a large population, and the demand for precious metals has always been far from meeting the needs.

"..." The money-grubbing Tsunade was suddenly rendered speechless.

Having loved money since childhood and having a gambling addiction, she couldn't imagine having a happy life with five tons of gold.

To subsidize the village?

Are you kidding me?!

In terms of money, even the great-grandfather who co-founded Konoha with Madara wasn't this selfless.

"You're a truly special Uchiha."

"Don't talk about me, no one could have done this if they were in power. Heh, the old man did something decent before he died."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku and Shisui, who were secretly on guard against Tsunade's sudden attack and had just landed a powerful punch, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes... there's no reason to hold a knife to someone's throat and not allow them to fight back."

Another deep voice came from outside the door.

Guided by Kurenai Yuhi, Jiraiya, with his white hair, entered the Hokage's office.

Naruto Uzumaki, the son of my beloved student, was treated terribly in the past!

The explanations given by the three generations are completely untenable.

Fortunately, Naruto's life, which had been filled with indifference, saw a dramatic improvement after the young Uchiha took over.

Perhaps it won't be long before the son of a hero can regain his honor.

"You stinky toad, you're only just getting back?" Tsunade said with a look of disgust, because she had heard rumors recently that this lecherous guy had been spying on women bathing in the Land of Rice Fields.

The impact is terrible!

"Hehe, I arrived in the village three days ago and observed the changes. It is indeed better than when the old man and Danzo were there."

Facing Uchiha Xiu's scrutiny, Jiraiya quickly explained, "Don't worry, Fifth Hokage, I wasn't spying. Hehe, the village's new policies clearly state a crime of hooliganism."

"it is good."

Uchiha Xiu didn't hesitate.

A man of Jiraiya's stature would never lack such patience, much less speak as if it were nothing.

"In the village I lead, no one's wife, mother, or daughter shall be allowed to be offended while taking a bath or using the toilet."

"Very good!" Tsunade said with an appreciative look, ignoring the fact that someone had written the best-selling book "Young Hama".

It's just wishful thinking.

It's better not to take any action.

In the oppressive world of ninjas, it would be strange if a man wasn't inherently lustful.

"Lord Hokage."

"Lord Hokage."

At this moment, Nara Shikaku, the Jonin class leader and senior advisor, arrived.

Behind him was Kakashi Hatake, who had been promoted to captain of the Dark Army.

The office became a bit crowded after the two arrived.

"With the Shadow Guard Captain Uchiha Shisui, the Garrison Commander-in-Chief Uchiha Fugaku, and the returning Tsunade and Jiraiya, is the Fifth Hokage finally considering a foreign war?"

As the chief strategist, Shikaku perked up:

"Only by surviving this ordeal will the village's prosperity be a reality, not just a mirage."

The former Hokage lineage, now obsolete, remained undisturbed.

Mitokado and Koharu Utatane voluntarily relinquished their rights and retired.

Hiruzen's youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma, kowtowed before the memorial stone and then obediently returned to the Land of Fire to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

Whether you call it being sensible or admitting defeat, the young Fifth Generation truly wielded absolute power!

How to deal with the impending provocations from enemy countries, and even the Fourth Shinobi World War, is his only major test.

"Four Flames Purple Array, activate."

The next moment, centered on the Hokage Building, the Jonin of the Sealing Team launched a joint ninjutsu in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, forming a purple flame barrier.

Before the meeting ends, anyone outside who attempts to touch the barrier will be burned by the flames.

"During the Fifth Generation, the prices of food and steel in the Land of Earth are rising every day, and Iwagakure will definitely send troops to the border."

Jiraiya solemnly provided the information.

"As expected, Onoki was beaten so badly by our clan's former patriarch, Uchiha Madara, that he was left with psychological trauma."

"Knowing that I have both the Sharingan and the awakened Wood Release bloodline, it would be strange if they didn't send troops to test me."

As he spoke, Uchiha Shu beckoned to Kakashi.

The somewhat puzzled head of the secret service approached without any precautions.

The next moment, what happened to Shisui was repeated!

One Kamui Eye, acquired.

"Very good, I have the traitor Obito's Achilles' heel."

"One Kamui eye, one Kotoamatsukami eye, tsk, let's put those eyes together."

Jiraiya and Shikaku Nara snapped out of their daze:

"The Five Dynasties".

"The Five Dynasties!"

Trembling all over, Tsunade, suffering from hemophobia, forced herself to calm down and used her Healing Palm Technique to treat Kakashi.

"Quiet down. Today's discussion will begin six years ago, on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Why did the Uchiha traitor obtain the information about the timing, location, and power distribution of Kushina Uzumaki, the Fourth Hokage's wife and former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, during her childbirth?"

"..."

Kakashi, who was being supported by Nara Shikaku, had a vague premonition of something, and felt as if he had been drained of all his energy.

Hyuga Hiashi, who had pledged his loyalty, stared wide-eyed, monitoring the flame array from every angle.

When it comes to intelligence gathering, who in the ninja world can compare to me?

……
