I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 270 begins

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's graduation exam time in Konoha again.

In just a few short years, the ninja world has undergone tremendous changes, and the integration of Konoha and Kirigakure has become almost perfect.

Genin and Chunin can still distinguish between ninjas from the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, since they still have headbands that represent their region. However, with the standardization of headbands, Jonin can no longer tell them apart.

After years of working together, the ninjas from different places have become familiar with each other, and their camaraderie forged through life and death is undergoing tremendous changes.

At the same time, a large number of elite ninjas from Kirigakure in the Land of Water moved with their families to Konoha in the Land of Fire, the most fertile land, thus achieving a complete merger.

Defense of the Land of Water and mission execution are all carried out jointly by ninjas from both sides.

Konoha Village is filled with architecture and industries that reflect the fusion of the two great nations.

The iconic character for "fire" in the Konoha Hokage Building is now placed to one side, while the character for "water" is on the other. A slightly higher position in the center displays the character for "god."

The office is surrounded by a secure barrier.

At that moment, strange sounds came from inside the office, such as the sound of massage and tapping, as well as indescribable sounds like slurping popsicles.

"Damn brat!"

At this moment, Tsunade, wearing the Hokage's robes, was sitting at her desk, her face flushed and drenched in sweat, diligently carrying out her daily duties as Hokage, truly embodying the spirit of dedication.

On the other side, Mei Mizukage was in the same situation. She had just finished eating an ice pop and was now looking up, trembling as she made a sound.

In the sweltering summer heat, an ice pop is truly a welcome relief.

But beneath her trembling body, Mei Terumi propped her legs on the table, while Uchiha Yoru solemnly scrutinized the political affairs of the Mizukage, Inui, to see just how well he was doing.

"Damn brat, you actually used Shadow Clone Jutsu like that! You!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, her face a mixture of excitement and hatred, as if she hated that ninjutsu was being used in this way, but was excited because she had discovered a new continent.

Mei Terumi retorted to Tsunade, "Tsunade-neechan, don't you love Yoru's Shadow Clone Jutsu the most?"

"The Shadow Clone Technique of Night has been mastered to its pinnacle in the ninja world..."

Faced with Mei's praise of Uchiha Yoru's exquisite and powerful ninjutsu, both of them were filled with excitement and helplessness.

"Yoru, your taijutsu is amazing. No wonder you're called a Tailed Beast."

The two shouted excitedly, and several Uchiha Yoru figures in the office revealed proud smiles.

"Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, Fifth Hokage Tsunade, I'm going to have a good look at the administrative matters you handled today. How many years has it been? You've both been Kage for so many years, how come your progress is so little?"

"We must strive, for the peace of the ninja world, for the future of Konoha and Kirigakure..."

Uchiha Yoru severely criticized the two Kage's administrative abilities, while also solemnly and personally correcting their administrative assignments.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei Terumi and Tsunade let out a long sigh of relief in the office, as if their work for the day had finally been completed.

The office returned to its usual tranquility.

Uchiha Yoru, however, shook his head and sighed, seemingly unsatisfied, while simultaneously dispelling several shadow clones.

……

With the windows open in the Konoha office, a cool breeze blew through the air, and the three people inside breathed in the fresh air.

Uchiha Yoru frowned and walked to the window, gazing at the now vibrant village.

Mei Terumi and Tsunade, sitting at the desk, both wore worried expressions, as if their work performance had never satisfied Yoru.

After all, Uchiha Yoru's political abilities were simply unparalleled in the ninja world.

"Sigh, after so many years of training my taijutsu with lightning release, my physical strength is now enough to fight a tailed beast without being at a disadvantage, and I can even suppress the Nine-Tails."

Feeling the power within his body, Uchiha Yoru murmured to himself as he stood by the window.

Inside the room, Tsunade wearily wiped the sweat from her brow and habitually took out a nearly empty bottle of perfume from her office drawer.

The spray instantly released a rich, fresh scent of trees, completely dispelling the lingering odor from the previously enclosed office.

"Honestly, people always say this place is exciting."

Mei Terumi rubbed her cheek, looking exhausted. Although her tone was somewhat complaining, she couldn't hide the excitement and satisfaction in her eyes.

"Tsunade-neechan, your perfume is almost gone. You should prepare a few more bottles soon."

"I see."

The two talked about perfume in a tacit and calm manner, and after finishing their busy work, they stretched and tidied themselves up.

"Meimei, it's up to you to clean up the office."

With a weary hand seal, Mei Terumi instantly caused the water-containing tissues in the office to lose gravity, transforming into water spheres. Then, with a snap of her fingers...

Instantly, these water spheres emitted high temperatures and evaporated completely.

"Night, Mei and I will go back and rest for a while."

Tsunade and Mei Terumi had just stood up to go back, clearly because they had been sitting for too long and their legs were numb.

Tsunade's legs trembled, but fortunately, she had perfectly awakened the Senju clan's physique, so she was barely alright.

Compared to her, Mei Terumi was a step behind. Her legs were trembling and shaking, and anyone who didn't know better would think she was having a cramp. She was also weakly leaning against the wall.

At this moment, Tsunade laughed sarcastically as Mei Terumi leaned against the wall.

Mei Terumi glared at him irritably, then looked resentfully at the figure by the window, muttering, "What a monster."

"Alright, we'll be assigning classes tomorrow. I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send you all back to rest. I'll handle the Jonin class assignments later."

With a helpless shake of his head, Uchiha Yoru walked steadily and without any wobbling to the two of them, putting one arm around each of their waists.

Swish!

In an instant, the three appeared in the spacious and luxurious room. Upon seeing this, Tsunade and Mei Terumi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed, looking disheveled and weak.

However, Uchiha Yoru frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "The two of you."

Seeing the huge scroll that Uchiha Yoru pulled out, Mei Terumi and Tsunade both felt frustrated.

"It's just a task, kid. Are you ever going to stop? If the two of us are stupid and can't handle it, you can find someone else. Didn't we already hire an assistant?"

"Yes, that's right. Kurenai, Anko, Yugao, and Shizune are all good choices. Aren't they all taking turns working as assistants in the office?"

Looking at the two of them, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, "You know, a ninja's strength is everything, so they still need to improve their strength as the standard. Even when they are on duty and there are no busy tasks, I will let them take the opportunity to train."

It was obvious that Tsunade and Mei Terumi had already left work, and they waved their hands, looking exhausted, saying that they couldn't handle today's administrative work and that they could do it themselves if necessary.

"Lady Tsunade."

Just then, the sliding door was pushed open, and Shizune looked at the returning adult in surprise, but then she realized what was happening and her face showed some embarrassment.

"Jingyin, don't go. As your teacher, I need to see the results of your recent training. Let's begin, right here, I'll be supervising you personally."

Just as Shizune was about to leave, Tsunade stopped her. Shizune immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her face full of shame. Her professional skills were almost the worst.

"snort!"

Uchiha Yoru snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, and said to Terumi Mei and Tsunade with a critical look in his eyes, "I need to check Shizune's training results, but your training over the years has left me very dissatisfied."

"Use your hands! Use your feet! I don't care what method you use, even if you use your mouth to hold the pen, today's official business must be finished."

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's criticism, Tsunade immediately revealed a defiant look, glaring at him and saying, "Little puppy! You've really got some nerve! Just you wait..."

After a flurry of activity, lasting more than two hours, the three of them finally managed to hand in their assignments, albeit in a chaotic and disorganized manner.

Seeing that the task on the huge scroll was barely completed, Uchiha Yoru put the scroll away with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "You all get some rest. I'm going to my office to continue handling government affairs."

On the luxurious, enormous bed, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Shizune were exhausted, slumped down, panting heavily, their eyes barely open.

Shizune's lips were weak and red, still bearing the residue of the milk tea she had drunk when her mouth was dry. "Lady Tsunade, I've disappointed you."

Tsunade lay weakly on the bed, motionless, and said weakly, "It's not that you disappointed me, but that this kid is too strong. You're a perfectly good ninja, and you don't practice ninjutsu, but taijutsu, and pure physical taijutsu at that."

"Damn it! This monster's physical skills."

Inside the messy room, the three weak faces wore satisfied smiles as they drifted into a sweet dream, as if their smiles were a result of completing their mission.

There was also a messy room, with torn stockings of various colors, high heels, and all sorts of strange and bizarre clothes everywhere.

Three people went shopping and came back, trying on all the clothes in turn. Dissatisfied, they angrily threw them all over the floor, and even tore some to shreds to vent their frustration.

After a busy day of shopping, the three of them fell asleep.

……

It was evening, in the Hokage's office.

One after another, the Jonin, now renowned figures in the ninja world, walked in. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, who was sitting alone at his desk, everyone showed a look of fervent admiration.

Seeing all the Jonin present, Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"This is the graduation season of the Ninja Academy. You all know that you are going to be promoted to Jonin and lead your teams, so I won't waste any more time on this nonsense."

"The other ninjas have already been assigned to classes, but Class A is the class with the best talent and potential, so I don't think I need to say anything more. Here is the class assignment information, take a look for yourselves."

Today, the assistant, Uchiha Izumi, respectfully distributed the materials to the Jonin.

Among the Jonin, Sarutobi Asuma has a full beard, making him appear more mature and composed, while also becoming more reserved and taciturn.

After all, the current situation of the Sarutobi clan is exactly the same as that of the Uchiha clan back then. It's already quite good that they haven't been driven crazy under such circumstances.

The difference this time is that Uchiha Yoru possesses such immense power that he can suppress everything. No matter how frustrated the Sarutobi clan feels, they dare not reveal even the slightest thought of a coup.

However, when he saw the Jonin class assignments, Sarutobi Asuma smiled. As expected, he had established a relationship with the Ino-Shika-Cho clan long ago, and these three children still followed him.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio faces the same predicament as the Sarutobi clan.

"Um, Lord Yoru, are you serious about this class assignment? Naruto Uzumaki?"

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake, the most charismatic Jonin among them, looked puzzled, while Yoru Uchiha smiled and nodded.

"Of course I'm serious. Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki just happened to be taking the genin graduation exam this afternoon and passed it perfectly, so they naturally got into the class."

However, Kakashi Hatake fell silent after hearing this, as if he had something difficult to say.

Looking at the Jonin, Uchiha Yoru smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, you are all people I can trust, and I believe your strength can guarantee that these top secrets will not be leaked, so Kakashi, you don't need to hold back."

"You mean Naruto Uzumaki's identity, right? So, this star-studded class is yours, Kakashi."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru looked at Zabuza with a smile on his face, "I originally planned to hand over this star team to Zabuza, but he said he lost to you in the last sparring session."

In front of so many people, Zabuza Momochi forced a cold snort and said, "Kakashi, the most talented child should naturally be given to the strongest, but I won't admit defeat next time."

Good heavens, these two are truly destined for a tragic fate; they unexpectedly clashed, their passion comparable to Might Guy's.

For this reason, Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, and Zabuza Momochi are known as the three elite ninjas of Konoha, because the three of them are natural enemies and will fight each other whenever they meet.

"Lord Yoru, is this team?!" Kurenai Yuhi asked awkwardly in the crowd, the list in her hand feeling almost too hot to handle.

When everyone glanced at the list in Kurenai Yuhi's hand, they immediately pretended not to have seen anything.

Uchiha Yoru shook his head helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Kurenai has been having the easiest time lately, so this mission has to be entrusted to you."

"These three received training from the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and even the Mizukage's ninjutsu instruction, making their abilities far surpass those of other Chunin of the same rank, especially Karin."

When Karin was mentioned, everyone in the Hokage's office immediately became serious. The existence of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was something that would attract the attention of not only them, but even Kage-level powerhouses.

"I think you all know about Karin's special abilities, but I have personally taught her over the years, so you don't need to worry about her going berserk. In addition, Karin's talent is even more outstanding than you imagine."

When Karin Uzumaki was mentioned, Yoru Uchiha revealed an arrogant smile, "So, Kurenai, you're familiar with these three Kurenai, so you can relax for a while."

"Oh, right, I have some news to tell you. It's already October, and the massive Chunin Exams will be held in Konoha next July. All the genin from the five great nations will be participating, so..."

Looking at everyone, Uchiha Yoru revealed a confident smile, "Your genin teams will all be participating, so it's up to you to make the most of this time."

"yes!"

Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi Hatake, Zabuza Momochi, and Asuma Sarutobi, four Jonin from Konoha, represent the most talented children this time.

Please support me.
