I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

outside world.

After a month of continuous cosmic tremors and twinkling stars, as if celebrating the arrival of its true master, Yun Ting reopened his eyes.

The golden-based, purple-swirling, red nine-tomoe Rinnegan is no longer there.

Instead, there are seemingly ordinary, yet upon closer inspection, endless galaxies are seen to rise and fall within them, encompassing the entire universe—a pair of black pupils.

In an instant, the once-boiling universe returned to silence at the command.

The realm of "god"—the goal that the Great God of the Otsutsuki clan and countless others had pursued throughout their lives—has finally been achieved.

Yun Ting became a true god, and this universe welcomed its true master.

"It's all over now."

Looking around, Yun Ting, who had no rivals left, sighed with emotion.

However, he soon realized he wasn't alone and looked towards the distant Earth, a warm smile appearing on his face.

Six years.

It's time to go home.

With a single step, Yun Ting departed...

Extra Chapter 1: Each Has Its Own Wonders

The Ninja World, formerly the Land of Rain, bordering the Land of Water.

Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions echoed continuously throughout the mountain range.

Although he had witnessed it countless times, Deidara still felt genuine joy every time he saw his work radiate a dazzling moment of brilliance.

This is true art!

"Commander, the demolition was a complete success!" Not long after, a ninja wearing a vest with the insignia of the Production and Construction Corps ran back to report after surveying the site.

Because of his great achievements, Deidara, who had risen from a lowly convict to the commander of the Production and Construction Corps, and who had become a legend in the eyes of outsiders, nodded calmly.

joke!

With him, the demolition master of the Ninja Country, who is second to none, how could anything go wrong?

Deidara took out the engineering blueprints he carried with him, pointed to them, and said to his subordinates, "Here and here, next is our final demolition target. Everyone, get ready quickly, okay?"

"Yes!"

With the project nearing completion, the members of the Production and Construction Corps happily got busy.

The North-to-South Water Diversion Project was a massive engineering project established by Yunting at the very beginning of the Ninja Kingdom.

Its purpose was to transport the abundant water resources of the original Rain Country to the extremely arid original Wind Country in the south.

In this way, the water shortage problem for the people in the original Wind Country region can be greatly solved, and the desertification and Gobi desertification in the area can be improved. At the same time, the water resources that were flooded in the original Rain Country can be turned into a valuable resource. This will not only reduce the pressure of local floods, but also generate a lot of income, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The only problem is the mountain that is the biggest obstacle between the two countries.

The Land of Rain experiences constant rainfall throughout the year, largely due to its enclosed topography.

In the past, it wasn't that no one noticed the complementary strengths of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind; it was just that with their abilities, they could only look on helplessly at the insurmountable barrier.

The Ninja Country, which now unifies the ninja world, has the determination and the ability to do all of this.

Breaking through the natural barrier between the former Rain Country and the former Wind Country would not only greatly benefit the people of both regions, but would also make the weather in the former Rain Country less extreme.

Yun Ting has not forgotten his promise to Xiao Nan that he would make the people of the Rain Kingdom happier.

That's why Deidara and others are now taking such bold and decisive actions.

After more than six years, the construction corps led by Deidara would naturally have completed at least one road.

The initial route had already been cleared thanks to Deidara's outstanding performance.

The fourth and final passage is currently under construction.

Once this last remaining issue is resolved, it means that the biggest hurdle of the North-to-South Water Diversion Project has been overcome, and the subsequent work such as water diversion will no longer be his concern.

What we should do next is something worth considering.

Just as Deidara was pondering his future, a subordinate suddenly said, "Lord Deidara, Lady Konan has arrived."

"That woman, she's here, so be it. Just don't get in the way, okay!" Deidara, whose train of thought had been interrupted, glanced at Konan, who was flapping her white wings and flying over from a distance, and said in a rather irritable tone.

The reason for this was not only because he had some grudges with Xiao Nan on the battlefield back then, but also because Xiao Nan had come to visit far too often in recent years.

The other party held a higher position in the Land of Ninjas than Deidara, and their frequent visits made him feel like a supervisor, which naturally displeased Deidara.

Out of sight, out of mind; at this moment, he simply ignored the woman and went about his own business.

Konan was already used to Deidara's reactions.

Although she didn't intend to be a supervisor or anything like that, she carried the dreams of all her companions and was very concerned about the future of the Rain Kingdom, so she couldn't help but come to check on things from time to time.

As it turns out, Yun Ting did indeed keep the promise he made back then.

Not only did they invest heavily in the North-to-South Water Diversion Project, but they also provided substantial aid to the people of the former Rain Country during this period.

Noticing the increasingly rosy complexions on the faces of the people from the former Rain Country she had met along the way, and seeing that the project had successfully reached its final stages, Konan finally felt completely relieved.

"I made the right decision back then. Yahiko, Nagato, and everyone else, our long-awaited dream is about to come true!"

"Art is an explosion, drink!"

After Deidara shouted triumphantly.

Boom! Boom!

Amidst the familiar explosions, the last few mountains that had been the obstacle were smashed to pieces, and the fourth and final channel of the North-to-South Water Diversion Project was successfully opened.

In an instant, a roar of cheers erupted from the mouths of the members of the Production and Construction Corps.

After completing this final mission, they will be rewarded with a generous bonus and a long vacation.

Deidara was also very happy.

He didn't care about bonuses or vacations; instead, he looked forward to going to the next scenic spot in Longchang to continue his artistic journey.

That's right!

He, Deidara, decided not to take a vacation in order to express his dedication to the Land of Shinobi!

We'll crush those competitors!

In the end, it would be best if I were the only construction team left in the entire ninja world.

The thought of blowing up the entire ninja world made Deidara overjoyed.

"Yo~~ Deidara, what good news have you thought of that makes you so happy?" Suddenly, a familiar female voice rang out from behind.

Deidara's expression changed instantly. He turned around and asked in surprise, "Kurotsuchi, what are you doing here?"

"What? Just because you don't visit me and Grandpa, I can't come to visit you?" Now a twenty-year-old young woman, Hei Tu stood with her hands on her hips, a half-smile on her face.

"Of course! Of course!" Deidara yawned.

Kurotsuchi glanced at him, then cut to the chase: "So, when are you going back to Konoha? The old man has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Don't tell me you're too busy with work, I specifically chose today, the day the project is finished, to come see you, Deidara."

As he gets older, and given Deidara's reluctance to return over the years, Kurotsuchi, who harbors a great deal of resentment towards him, no longer calls him "Deidara-nii" but addresses him by his given name.

"What's so interesting about a grown man like me?"

Seeing that his usual excuses had been blocked, Deidara muttered something, then his eyes darted around before he finally said decisively,

“The Ninja Kingdom needs me! And I have already decided to dedicate my life to the Ninja Kingdom. It was already planned that after completing the North-to-South Water Diversion Project, I would go to our old home in the west to continue building roads through the mountains.”

"I'm doing this to serve my hometown. I think my father will be pleased to hear this and won't stop me. Hmm!"

Hei Tu chuckled at this.

Knowing perfectly well what Deidara was really up to, she directly used her trump card, saying, "Grandpa will indeed be pleased. It's just a pity that he will most likely never see you again, Deidara, one last time."

"What do you mean?" Deidara asked, sensing something was wrong.

Instantly, Heitu cried out through teary eyes, "Grandpa... Grandpa is dying!"

Deidara couldn't believe it: "How could this be? How could someone as powerful as the old man be so weak!"

“Grandpa is over eighty years old! And he also has a chronic back pain problem, which has recently recurred. The doctor said it’s very serious, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…” Heitu choked up.

Deidara understood Kurotsuchi's meaning, his expression suddenly changed, and after gritting his teeth, he said in a sorrowful tone:

"I'm going back right now!"

"Ouch! It hurts! Go easy! That's it~~~"

At Konoha's First Hospital, Onoki, who was said to be on the verge of death by Kurotsuchi, was lying on the hospital bed, comfortably moaning "ah" repeatedly, as if enjoying a massage from a beautiful woman.

To be honest, there were indeed beautiful women around, but they weren't giving massages; they were giving treatments.

With her long pink hair and wearing a white lab coat, Sakura, now an eighteen-year-old girl, looked at Onoki making strange and suggestive noises, her face full of black lines.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the person in front of her was buried in the ground, she would have punched him long ago, given her personality.

"Hey, Mr. Onoki, could you please stop yelling 'Ahhh' all the time?" Sakura was cursing Onoki to the core in her mind, but she forced herself to hold it in and said in a very unpleasant tone.

"There's nothing I can do about it~~ Sakura, your medical ninjutsu is the best in Konoha. Ah~~ My old back, only you can heal it!" Onoki responded while continuing to groan.

Judging from his expression, he didn't look like he was about to die at all.

Sakura, however, was unimpressed by Onoki's praise and even tried to dismiss it, saying, "Grandpa, you're exaggerating. When it comes to medical ninjutsu, everyone knows that Tsunade-sensei is the most skilled in the entire ninja world. With your status, Grandpa, you could easily go to her for treatment."

Is always shining gold.

During the time Yun Ting was away, Sakura, who had an exceptional talent for medicine, was still noticed by Tsunade and became another of her personal disciples.

Unlike Tsunade's other disciple, Kabuto Yakushi, who devoted more of his energy to politics, Sakura devoted herself entirely to the medical field.

In terms of medical expertise alone, she is second only to Tsunade in the ninja world.

This is why Sakura, at such a young age, is able to serve as an attending physician at Konoha Hospital, and even people like Onoki are willing to seek her treatment.

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Onoki's face fell.

Although Tsunade, now the wife of a daimyo, still makes house calls from time to time as before, the exorbitant fees she charges for treating high-ranking officials and nobles are enough to make the notoriously stingy Onoki hesitate.
