It can be said that, by a twist of fate, Uchiha Zō became the sole winner in this "Nine-Tails Incident".

“Go back and rest for a few days! The village has a security department, and the administrative department handles coordination between the parties. I think Shikaku can manage these matters.”

Looking at the exhausted Kakashi, Uchiha Eiko finally gave the order.

"Besides, I had already notified the medical department in advance, and they have already started taking action, so you don't need to worry at all."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Kakashi looked somewhat embarrassed and spoke with a wry smile.

"But is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Those guys have a huge organization behind them, otherwise they wouldn't dare to provoke Konoha."

The specific target is currently unknown, but it is very likely aimed at the tailed beasts.

Uchiha Xiang repeated his previous words with a hint of helplessness.

"The reconstruction of Konoha requires a large amount of funds. After you recover, there is another top-secret mission that you need to carry out."

If that matter is handled well, it will give Konoha a much-needed respite.

"I'm sorry, I really..."

"Go back and rest immediately. Once you've recovered, go see Naruto again..."

……

After arranging various Konoha reconstruction matters, Uchiha Sō greeted Iigaku as he left the Hokage's office.

Then, they headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Looking at the Konoha villagers on the street, busy cleaning up trash, doing rescue and reconstruction amidst their grief, Uchiha Sho sighed.

He had seen too many scenes like this since he came to the Naruto world.

He also remembered passing through a small village before the third war.

The place was in ruins, littered with corpses, and the living were like walking corpses, numb and indifferent.

That's why he wanted to change everything in the ninja world.

The Sage of Six Paths stands too high, born into too high a position, and cannot empathize with the suffering of the common people.

In comparison, Konoha, though shrouded in sorrow, has a bright future ahead of it!

It was because the villagers of Konoha saw hope that they were able to turn their grief into motivation, stand up again, and rebuild their home.

Minato Namikaze was merely "Konoha's hope," but I will be "the hope of the entire ninja world"!

With this in mind, Uchiha Xiang's steps became even more firm and unwavering.

"Speaking of which, I should thank the future Naruto. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that Obito's heart was so fragile."

On his way home, Uchiha Xiang's thoughts suddenly began to wander.

"However, my adopted son is the future true 'King of Mouth Power,' his verbal skills are unmatched!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Eiji's expression suddenly became strange. Sasuke Uchiha, who had mastered the art of "pretending to be something he'd never done before," and Naruto Uzumaki, who had mastered the art of "talking to his heart's content," were now his adopted sons.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

Even if he starts to "lie down" now and properly nurtures his two adopted sons, they will still be carried to great heights in the future.

However, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, the Elephant Emperor of the Ninja World, is not such a lazy bum!

"However, should we try to clear Obito's name in the future? After all, he was an Uchiha..."

"Hmm, let's see how he performs..."

In any case, it all depends on whether he endorses Obito in the future. If he's willing, it's quite easy to whitewash Obito.

The rest depends on whether Obito can seize the opportunity!

After all, the deep thinking of a clever person is not as good as the quick thinking of a fool!

"Elephant, you're back?"

When the baby elephant pushed open the door, Kazuko Uzumaki immediately rushed out.

"Are you alright... about what happened last night?"

"Yes, I'm fine. It's just that Minato, Kushina, and Fugaku all sacrificed themselves. I've also taken Naruto Uzumaki as my adopted son, so I might have to trouble you in the future!"

"Kushina is dead too? Naruto, you can leave her to me without worry!"

Jingyue is quite reliable. He knew that the main reason for having him guard the Uchiha clan's territory was to protect Kazuko, Karin, and the elderly, weak, women, and children of the Uchiha clan.

The moment the Nine-Tails appeared, he gathered everyone at the refuge in the Uchiha clan's territory, where he, a Kage-level powerhouse, personally guarded it.

Chapter 156, Konoha's Centralized System

"That damn guy, he actually used Lin to threaten me!"

In a secluded cave within the Land of Fire, Uchiha Otaka sat on a stone bed, eyes closed, and began to reflect on the gains and losses of his trip to Konoha.

This trip to Konoha overturned many of Obito's previous understandings.

He needed to find a quiet place to sort out his thoughts.

That despicable Uchiha Sō! That guy's schemes are truly deep!

Wait, that mysterious person who snatched a piece of the Gedo Mazo from Madara... could it also be him?

Does that mean this guy awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan even earlier than me?

The two biggest losers of the Uchiha clan had both awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan early on.

Could it be that the "bottom-of-the-class" Uchiha was actually the most talented Uchiha?

But how did this guy become the Minister of Security?

I'm not that much worse than him!

"But come to think of it, I don't seem to be any worse than him now, do I?"

Suddenly thinking of himself, Obito began to cheer himself up.

Even disregarding his identity as a Konoha ninja, his "achievements" are no worse than those of Uchiha Zou!

And most importantly.

Lin is not dead! Lin is not dead! Lin is not dead! I'm saying it three times because it's important!

Thinking that Rin could still be saved, Obito couldn't help but smile slightly.

However, the task that annoying guy assigned me is not easy to complete.

He needs to be prepared to make sure he doesn't give himself away.

This was the first time he had ever done a mission like infiltrating, acting as a spy, and gathering intelligence.

He needed to control his emotions, especially when facing Black Zetsu, the "overseer" left behind by Madara Uchiha.

One thing he strongly agrees with is Uchiha Sō.

That is to make Madara Uchiha and his group feel utter despair and completely destroy their plans.

Don't be in a hurry!

We have to take it slow, step by step!

Moreover, he also has a curse mark on his heart, so he must be careful in everything he does.

"I can't die now! Lin is waiting for me."

Thinking of this, Obito Uchiha subtly opened his eyes and glanced at Black Zetsu, who was bandaging his wounds.

"Wait until I've investigated thoroughly, until I've destroyed Kirigakure, until I've completely thwarted their plans, until I've found a way to remove the cursed seal, Rin, wait for me..."

……

The next morning, Uchiha Xiang arrived at the Hokage's office early.

Konoha is currently in dire need of rebuilding, and the Fifth Hokage cannot afford to slack off.

Moreover, a whole host of things, such as post-disaster reconstruction and the restructuring of Konoha's power structure, are waiting for him to make decisions.

But when he arrived at the Hokage's office, he realized that he was actually the last one there.

The ministers and key personnel of each department, as well as the clan leaders of the major ninja clans, had all arrived long ago.

Upon seeing the Fifth Hokage, who had been appointed to the position in a time of crisis, they all stood up to show their respect.

After all, today's events involve the redistribution of Konoha's interests after the war.

As a member of the Chinese nation in his previous life, Uchiha Sō had never personally participated in the distribution of benefits, but he had seen countless examples of it in history books.

He established the Heavenly Court, became the Minister of Security, and put his skills into practice many times.

Highly experienced!

Many things can be simply copied and used directly.

The damage to Konoha wasn't actually that great; the main losses were the deaths of the two Hokage and the need to rebuild some damaged areas.

After the reconstruction, many things need to be reshuffled.

For example, how should the newly built streets be laid out, which families should be stationed here, how should the economy of this area be developed, and so on.

Of course, Jingyue and Shisui were very familiar with these issues.

All Uchiha Sō needs to do is express his support for their plan.

Of course, after Jingyue also revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, the other ninja clans naturally wouldn't "provoke" him, given that he possessed three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan and had the noble title of Fifth Hokage.

Moreover, the plan they devised had been discussed with Nara Shikaku and the others, and it basically took into account all the supporters of Uchiha Zō.

The Uchiha clan, of course, got to eat the biggest piece of the pie!

Compared to the original timeline, the Nine-Tails incident led to the death of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was then suspected by the other members of Konoha and forced to the edge of the village.

The Uchiha clan now occupies the most central area of ​​Konoha, not far from the Hokage Rock.

Moreover, coincidentally, this area is being renovated to connect to various parts of Konoha.
