I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

The door's soundproofing is so-so. If Uchiha Shingen were to write a short report, he would probably write something like this:

The Fourth Hokage highly praised the significant role the Police Department has played in the long-term development of the rule of law in Konoha, and warmly called on all officers of the Police Department to strive for greater glory for the village, overcome difficulties and forge ahead in the new work of building the rule of law, make achievements and achieve long-term success, and deliver an excellent "legal report" to the village.

The Uchiha clan stated that they will thoroughly study and implement the Fourth Hokage's legal thought and carry out legal publicity and education in a solid and effective manner in the new era. Clan Chief Fugaku emphasized that the Fourth Hokage's legal thought is a great practice in promoting comprehensive rule of law in villages and creating a new landscape for Konoha's distinctive legal system. It represents the latest achievement in Konoha's legal theory. In advancing comprehensive rule of law in villages and carrying out legal publicity and education in the new era, it is essential to take the Fourth Hokage's legal thought as the fundamental guideline and action plan.

Uchiha Shingen stated that the actual way the two sides communicated was even worse than what he had written down, as the traces of his writings were too obvious.

However, he understood Minato Namikaze's purpose in coming.

This guy intends to "liberate productive forces".

The income of the five major ninja villages is divided into three parts: government-allocated fiscal funds, a share of mission rewards, and taxes paid by villagers and businesses within the villages.

The fiscal funds allocated by the state are subject to dual control, and villages cannot use them freely; the use of these funds is restricted.

Of the latter two items, the commission from the task bonus accounts for the vast majority.

This part mainly relies on ninjas of Chunin rank and above, with Jonin being the most important. As the mission progresses, the mission reward increases at least tenfold. The contribution of Jonin from the five major villages to their villages' self-operated income is self-evident.

The Uchiha Jonin held a very special position in Konoha.

The Sharingan is truly a wonderful thing, but the cost of acquiring it is very high, even for the Uchiha clan.

The low rate of new cases is disheartening.

But once you have the Sharingan and haven't been killed, it's only a matter of time before you reach the three-tomoe level. Every three-tomoe level is a true Jonin.

Currently, fewer than one hundred members of the Uchiha clan possess the Sharingan, and only about twenty possess the three-tomoe Sharingan.

This number is already quite considerable, after all, for an Uchiha with the Sharingan of the three tomoe, taking on two opponents at once is basic.

Unlike the older generation, Minato Namikaze believed that keeping such a group of ninjas confined to the police department was a waste.

In such a vast place as Konoha, is there really a shortage of people to patrol the streets?

On the contrary, Konoha is stronger now than before the war. Konoha's biggest loss before was the suicide of Konoha's White Fang. Although he has now become Hokage, if the Uchiha's fighting power is unleashed, the addition of just Uchiha Shisui can fill the position of Konoha's White Fang.

This way, Konoha Village will have more manpower to take on more high-level missions.

After all, the Sand Village will lose the trust of many customers after this war, resulting in a large number of mission orders being diverted.

Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are all eyeing this order covetously. All three villages have issued strict orders, prohibiting all Jonin from taking leave and requiring them to be on standby at any time.

Listening to the occasional discussions about the deceased White Fang of Konoha coming from inside the door, Uchiha Shingen felt somewhat dazed.

Without realizing it, he gripped the hilt of the kodachi.

I thought of that overly serious man again.

With such a classic square face, why are you so emotionally rich, delicate, sensitive, and overly obsessed, ultimately leading your life to tragedy?

Sakumo Hatake of Konoha is a very special person in Konoha's history. It's not about how strong he is, but rather that his action speed is too exaggerated. He's a mission-harvesting machine with extremely high efficiency.

Before his accident, his mission record could be summarized in three words—he was a killing machine.

Uchiha Shingen's Body Flicker Technique was greatly inspired by Konoha's White Fang.

That's why he started using a short sword. He was very impressed by how White Fang combined the Body Flicker Technique with the short sword.

To be honest, it really works well.

It's especially useful when the knife breaks.

Distracted and lost in thought, Uchiha Shingen heard the laughter inside the room grow louder, accompanied by the sound of a group of people getting up.

So he adjusted his posture.

The next moment, the door was opened, and Minato Namikaze walked out first, followed by a group of satisfied-looking Uchiha, with an average age of over 30. Among them, Shisui Uchiha, who was only 13 years old, made an outstanding contribution to lowering the average age.

The current Konoha ninja probably wouldn't have imagined that in less than ten years, if Uchiha Shingen hadn't changed some things, the Konoha leadership would have become a complete old people's club. The Fourth Hokage and the Sannin, who were currently shining brightly, would either be dead, betrayed, or leave. The Jinchuriki would be a mere child, and the Uchiha clan would simply be gone. The once mighty number one village in the ninja world would be facing an embarrassing talent shortage.

This change will begin with the event that will occur a year from now.

The person in front of you is the key figure in this group.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shingen." Minato Namikaze seemed to be in an extremely good mood. "Actually, I noticed the application you submitted a while ago, wanting to go to Kannabi Bridge in place of Obito."

“Yes, it’s a pity the village didn’t agree.” Uchiha Shingen smiled.

It was a bit embarrassing; I had just submitted my application when I was immediately criticized by an elder.

They said he was just joining in the fun.

Indeed, the situation there at that time was not a question of whether it was good or bad, but rather that it was very bad.

The Iwa ninja carried on their long-standing tradition of launching surprise attacks, putting Konoha in a very passive position. In the eyes of the clan, Obito Uchiha was just cannon fodder to be thrown out and handed over as a task.

Uchiha Shingen wanted to take Obito's place and have sex with Madara.

Looking back now, however, I realize that this was a hasty decision, and I acted impulsively. It's a good thing that it wasn't approved.

It's safer to go to Black Zetsu's place; that guy has a lot of good stuff, it just depends on how lucky you are.

"It's alright, there will be opportunities." Minato Namikaze patted Shingen Uchiha's shoulder affectionately, looking mischievous as if he had good news to share but was just not telling him right now.

Then he walked away with a cheerful expression.

A group of Uchiha followed behind, seeing off the new Hokage.

Uchiha waited until they had all left before catching up, only to hear Minato Namikaze saying things like, "You're all too kind, I can go out by myself. Let's all work hard together from now on."

"Brother Shingen." A voice came from the side.

Uchiha Shingen turned his head to look around and saw that no one was there. Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and lowered his head.

Uchiha Shisui, who had transformed from a "genius" into a "master," was walking beside him, looking up at him.

"Does Brother Shingen not like the Hokage?"

Hey kid, don't try to act tough in front of me, or I'll hit you!

Forget it, we probably can't beat them now.

Because this guy has opened a kaleidoscope.

“I am a Konoha ninja,” Uchiha Shingen said. “I should not like him, but respect him.”

"Why be afraid? The Hokage is a very nice person."

"He is first and foremost the Hokage, Shisui." Uchiha Shingen looked at him, recalling the boy's tragic future in the manga. "Since he is the Hokage, his ego no longer belongs to him, just like a Jinchuriki. You understand this principle, right?"

Uchiha Shisui thought about it seriously for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"I believe in the Hokage."

"That's great, I also believe in the Hokage."

Chapter Six: The Adorable Uchiha

It's impossible to convince Uchiha Shingen of the Hokage's beliefs.

Even Hashirama Senju, once he became Hokage, his ego became the property of the village; Madara Uchiha serves as a cautionary tale.

In a sense, the head of a village has no right to be a good person.

Even a Kage cannot simply talk about feelings with a ninja clan without any real intentions; otherwise, the latter will feel that they are being fooled, or even suspect that they are being targeted.

Minato Namikaze's contact with the Uchiha clan went smoothly, and their relationship was on point, especially since he brought money with him.

He then visited Hinata.

The two major ninja clans stated that by adopting a shift system, they could ensure that the village could call upon no fewer than fifty Jonin at any time. If the special characteristics of the Uchiha clan were taken into account, the actual combat strength of these fifty Jonin would be even greater, not to mention that the two clans could also provide more Chunin.

As for Special Jonin, that's a level developed within the Hokage Building; ninja clans don't practice that kind of thing internally.

Minato Namikaze's action did not encounter any opposition from the original Hokage team; several elderly people practically raised their feet in approval.

In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered more deaths than in the previous two wars, but also gained unprecedented benefits.

After all, this is the third time. Three consecutive victories have made Konoha a force to be reckoned with among the nations, triggering the largest wave of orders since the village's founding. Judging from the recent situation, it is foreseeable that the overall scale will reach a terrifying level. It's not just Sunagakure that's dumping orders, but Sunagakure is dumping the most—because it was the first to surrender.

Therefore, even Danzo Shimura said that if necessary, the Root organization could free up manpower.

It's not just about making money; it's about not daring to cross the line.

The main body of the Konoha Ninja Army is not the Anbu, nor the Root. The ninjas of these two organizations are just a tiny fraction, and they are nothing compared to the vast majority of ninjas in the village who make a living by missions.

The Third Shinobi World War differed from the Second. It was not entirely driven by national interests. Some conflicts arose from the grudges between various ninja villages. The villages had to pay for these conflicts themselves, and the ninjas on missions received no income but were reimbursed for their expenses.

There's no way the daimyo will contribute to the war effort—what business is it of mine if you ninja villages are fighting each other for reputation and missions?

After several years of fighting, not only were the ninjas below green with envy, but the village itself was also starving.

No kidding, anyone who tries to sabotage things at this time will be purged from the court.

Danzo Shimura knew very well that if this happened, he would be the one to be eliminated 100%.

Therefore, everyone in Konoha united and began to carry out the mission.

Their only two rivals are their old friends in the north, Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

Leaving aside those barbarians from the highlands who would lick up any excrement they saw on the roadside, the Iwa ninjas are still holding their breath; they are very unwilling to accept their defeat.

In response to the call from the Hokage Building, the Uchiha clan mobilized all the ninjas they could, except for leaving behind the most basic defensive forces.

This isn't just about giving face to the Fourth Hokage; the Uchiha clan also wants to make money.

Since the Hyuga clan has more members, the Uchiha clan can't compete on quantity, so they can only win by quality.

Uchiha Shingen also unusually attended the clan meeting obediently, since it concerned who could leave the village.

The clan quickly reached a consensus, put forward the exaggerated slogan that "one Uchiha is worth ten Hyuga", and then finalized the list in the shortest possible time.

There are fewer than thirty three-tomoe ninjas in total. According to Fugaku Uchiha's opinion, after deducting the high-ranking police officers and clan members who need to be stationed, there are fifteen mobile posts that can be set up as permanent posts. One person should be reserved as a temporary post when manpower is scarce, and a rotation system should be adopted. The minimum requirement is that there should be at least five Jonin who are on missions outside at any given time.

Uchiha Shingen was very pleased; he didn't even have to fight for it, and his son was already on the list.

The way the tribespeople are so focused on making money is absolutely adorable.

That's right, that's the style the ninja clan should have.

Cultivation cannot be done in isolation; one must also go out and fight some people occasionally, otherwise how can one apply what one has learned?

It's a pity he wasn't in the first batch.

Uchiha Shisui was naturally in the first batch.
