All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Besides, I haven't even pursued the responsibility of the Iwagakure for ambushing me, the Hokage of Konoha.

At this point, Uchiha Ei's eyes lit up and he instructed, "Kakashi, let Shikaku question Iwagakure about why they sent people to ambush the Fifth Hokage."

"Hmph, let's strike first and turn the tables, that'll do it..."

Kakashi, Shisui, and Guy stared in disbelief at Uchiha Zō.

No wonder he became Hokage; his strategic vision, his political acumen, and his shameless ability to portray darkness as light...

If he doesn't become the Fifth Hokage, who will?

They have the strength, and they have the "methods"!

After everyone finished eating, Shisui volunteered, "I'll take the night watch tonight."

Uchiha Xiang glanced at the two injured men and naturally had no objections.

It's impossible for the Hokage to be on night duty.

He was on night duty before becoming Hokage, and he's still on night duty after becoming Hokage?

Without some special privileges, wouldn't being the Hokage be pointless?

Kai laughed and said, "You can take the first half of the night shift, and I'll take the second half."

After resting for two days in the Land of Birds, the four members of the Uchiha clan began their journey home.

This time, however, they returned to the village safely without encountering any trouble on the way.

As the Hokage, the first thing he does upon returning to the village is to go home and rest for two days.

After all, leading the team "personally" this time was quite "hard work".

Taking two days off as Hokage is perfectly fine!

Unfortunately, after only two days, Jingyue and Shikaku "caught" them and took them back to the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Sho inquired with Shikaku about Iwagakure's response regarding the matter of sending someone to ambush the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

As he expected, Iwagakure denied the existence of the operation.

In the end, this matter could only be left unresolved.

Shikaku was also surprised to hear that the demon Mouryou possessed strength comparable to that of a tailed beast.

Upon learning that the priestess had also joined the "Heavenly Court," Shikaku glanced at Uchiha Sō in surprise.

It seems that this Fifth Hokage, who was born into the Uchiha clan, has "great ambitions"!

Judging from his current strategy, he intends to win over the Land of Water as an ally and subdue the Land of Grass and the Land of Demons...

Is this aimed at unifying the ninja world?

As the head of the Nara family, he was well aware of the influence of this priestess from the Land of Demons.

Her plea for help prompted even the five great ninja villages of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure to respond immediately and send their elite troops to assist her.

This alone demonstrates her prestige among the surrounding countries.

It could even be said that the "true name" of the Land of Demons is this priestess.

She also joined the Heavenly Divine Court, which undoubtedly expanded the court's influence.

Having confirmed that Iwagakure currently had no intention of launching a war, Uchiha Zou's mind began to stir again.

I'm thinking of continuing my travels in the ninja world (going on a wild adventure), since I didn't have the strength before and it wasn't safe.

Now that we have the strength, wouldn't it be a waste of time not to take advantage of the fact that the Fourth War hasn't started to travel around more?

Of course, as the Fifth Hokage, he needed to find a suitable reason to leave the village.

Otherwise, Jingyue and Shikaku, who handle the Hokage's affairs every day, would have complaints.

With a quick glance, Uchiha Eboshi came up with a reason—

Find Tsunade, the head of Konoha's medical department!

Looking at Uchiha Sō sitting in the Hokage's seat, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"My Hokage, you probably have no idea how many things we have to handle for you every day?"

Inside the Hokage's office, documents were piled up like mountains, and the air was thick with the atmosphere of working overtime.

Uchiha Xiang sat upright in the Hokage's chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping the table, a bright smile on his face that seemed to say, "I have a great idea" and "Praise me!"

Across from him, Nara Shikaku, sporting two heavy dark circles under his eyes, stared at him expressionlessly;

Uchiha Igaku crossed his arms. Although his Sharingan was not activated, his gaze was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the Hokage's skull to see if it was filled with maps of the ninja world and travel guides.

"cough,"

Uchiha Xiang cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound incredibly sincere and constructive.

"Hey, Shikaku and Izumi, look, when I came back this time, everything in the village was in perfect order, all thanks to you two pillars of the village! You've really worked hard!"

Shikaku didn't even lift his eyelids, but simply sighed softly:

"Lord Hokage, the pile on your desk consists of 'urgent' documents that you accumulated while you were away from the village and that require your personal review."

The basket next to it contains the latest developments and draft budget adjustments for each village.

As for those stacks on the ground…

He pointed to the pile of documents that almost reached the ceiling.

"It is a summary of daily affairs from various families and departments that await your final approval."

Do you know what time we work overtime every day?

Jing Yue coldly added:

"I can handle the affairs of the Security Department, but the Hokage's responsibilities... Lord Hokage, you've only been back for two days."

The implication is: You're already trying to run away before you've even had a chance to settle in?

Uchiha Xiang's smile froze for a moment, then became even more "bright," carrying a hint of barely perceptible guilt:

"Haha, well... the capable should do more work!"

I'm just seeing how much better you guys handled it than I did, aren't I?

Jingyue has managed the security department like an ironclad fortress, and Shikaku, your wisdom is unparalleled in Konoha!

With you all here, the village is as stable as Mount Tai!

This is because I have absolute trust in you!

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and spoke with a seductive tone that suggested "we're one of our own."

"Think about it, the first two Hokage of Konoha, they were both hands-on and devoted to their work, right?"

While the spirit is commendable, what was the result?

How exhausted were the three generations of adults?

The fourth generation...sigh, died young! What does this tell us?

This shows that being Hokage requires knowing how to delegate authority!

Trust your partners! This is what I call... um... an advanced management philosophy!

Lu Jiu and Jing Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing deep helplessness and a hint of "this person's skin is thicker than Tu Liubi's" in each other's eyes.

But Uchiha Eiji's words, "absolute trust," were like a feather, gently stirring the deepest part of their hearts.

Especially for Jingyue, a member of the Uchiha clan, the fact that Brother Xiang delegated so much power to him was a testament to the immense trust placed in him.

"so…"

The Uchiha elephant's true colors were revealed; his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

"I feel I still need to go deeper into the grassroots, understand the people's conditions, and broaden my horizons!"

This is the only way to better... uh... lead Konoha from a high vantage point!

Moreover, I've decided to personally go and bring Lady Tsunade back!

The village can't be without top-notch medical ninjas!

Isn't that a very good reason?

Is it perfectly legitimate?

"Very Naruto-esque?"

Shikaku rubbed his throbbing temples:

"Lord Hokage, last time you 'went deep into the grassroots' to observe the people's conditions, you came to the Land of Demons, casually killed a tailed beast-level monster, and almost went to war with Iwagakure..."

"That was an accident! An accident!"

Uchiha Sho quickly waved his hands, looking completely innocent.

"Our objective this time is clear: find Tsunade! We absolutely will not allow any unforeseen complications!"

(Inner monologue: The ninja world is so vast, who knows what "surprises" I might encounter along the way?)

Jing Yue frowned: "The Hokage leaving the village is no small matter. If an emergency occurs..."

"Ah! I've already thought of that!"

Uchiha Zou seemed to have finally gotten the chance to ask this question, and excitedly slammed his hand on the table, almost knocking away the documents that Shikaku had just organized.

He extended his finger, and a faint, mysterious light, seemingly containing the ultimate truth of space, emanated from the tip of his finger.

"Alright!"

He flicked his finger, and two barely perceptible points of light instantly disappeared into Lu Jiu and Jing Yue's palms, leaving an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible mark.

"This is the spatial imprint of the 'Great Luo Grotto Heaven'!"

Uchiha Eiko proudly introduced it, like a child showing off a new toy.

"As long as the two of you together, or either one of you, concentrates your mind and activates this mark with chakra, I can sense it immediately, no matter where in the ninja world I am! Then,"

He made a psychic gesture.

"Whoosh! I can instantly return to the Hokage's office through reverse summoning!"
