Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Jiraiya to be sent to the Iwa ninja battlefield in the Land of Grass to hone his skills and allow this disciple, who was once like a fool, to quickly grow in terms of interpersonal relationships.
"Hopefully, the Uchiha group won't cause any trouble right now, especially that Uchiha Sō!"
The Third Hokage, with his pipe in his mouth, pressed his straw hat down a little.
"Given that the war is almost over, Jiraiya and Minato should have no problem negotiating with Iwagakure, but Orochimaru..."
Chapter 29, Sudden Wealth
The Third Hokage, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more irritated when he thought of his other disciple.
They showed little interest even in the news of unusual activity from the Grass Village in the Land of Grass.
After all, it's just a small village, not worth the Third Hokage's attention!
Ever since Orochimaru came into contact with Uchiha Sō, the Third Hokage has found it difficult to understand this disciple.
Especially since he's been restless lately, the Third Hokage has become increasingly aware that his disciple has truly changed.
It's a tragedy that even the Third Hokage had to be careful around him!
"And Danzo too, I hope he doesn't cause any trouble. These guys just can't give me a break..."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Just as the Third Hokage was thinking of his old partner, the other party also thought of him and came to the Hokage's office.
"Hiruzen, the Uchiha are not to be trusted. I think we should take advantage of that brat's serious injuries and finish him off!"
Upon meeting the Third Hokage, Danzo, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, offered his advice with a gloomy expression.
Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, glanced at Danzo with an expression as if he were an idiot.
What kind of idiotic suggestion is this?
In the midst of a great battle, first behead the generals who have rendered great service to your side!
Damn it, Danzo, you're obsessed with becoming Hokage, aren't you?
Such a proposal would have been immediately rejected even if the Third Hokage had implemented it.
What? So, Danzo of Konoha's Root will just take over directly?
Is this a solution that a normal person could come up with?
"Danzo, Uchiha Xiang is a great hero of Konoha. Don't say such things again."
"Also, I called you here to send you to support Orochimaru, not to handle matters related to the Uchiha!"
"Hmph! Hiruzen, you'll regret it if you don't listen to me!"
"I am the Hokage..."
……
With a classic, passionate dialogue, Danzo, this unstable element, was sent by the Third Hokage to the border of the Land of Fire to deal with the crippled Hidden Mist Village.
Just as the Third Hokage and Danzo were locked in a passionate confrontation, Uchiha Sō had already returned to the Uchiha clan.
Along the way, Uchiha Maruko, who did not go to the battlefield, was brought to meet him by the clan leader and many elders, along with the "elite ninjas" of the Uchiha clan who did not participate in the battle. Everyone kept talking to Uchiha Sho, and Uchiha Sho tried his best to answer their questions.
It was from them that Uchiha Sho heard Kirigakure's "evaluation" of him—the Lord of Heaven, the god who wields lightning!
Tsk tsk! Kirigakure is quite sensible. When subduing Kirigakure in the future, we can try to be more gentle.
No wonder these Uchiha youths all look at Uchiha Eboshi with such admiration.
When they returned to the Uchiha clan's territory, the guys who had greeted him wisely took their leave and went back to report on the situation, leaving only Uchiha Maru behind.
"Maruko, how's the cooperation with Ino of the Sirius clan going? From now on, the Land of Grass will be the foundation of our Heavenly Divine Court."
"Brother Xiang, during this period, due to the war between the five major powers, the value of various resources has skyrocketed. With the cooperation of Jingye and us, Gao Qiao has made billions of taels."
"At the same time, because you, Brother Elephant, instructed us in advance before the Nara Mountain battle that Konoha would gain the upper hand in the battle, the five major kingdoms began peace talks."
"Uzumaki Kazuko suggested to Gaucho that they should start selling off war-related food, weapons, and medicines in advance, and instead buy commercial assets such as shops that have plummeted in value due to the war."
"After your victory in the Battle of Nara Mountain, Brother Elephant, the assets of the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Commerce are estimated to increase more than tenfold."
"This is after bribing nobles from various countries. As the war subsides, its value will continue to increase."
"At the same time, the Ministry of Commerce has also completed a complete transformation, which is sufficient to maintain the welfare benefits after the expansion of the Heavenly Court, and there is still a large surplus..."
Uchiha Maruko looked at Uchiha Enoki with admiration and reported to him on the developments of the Heavenly Court during this period.
Who could have imagined that what was originally a small society confined to Konoha would become a powerful organization spanning the five great nations after Uchiha Sō personally intervened during the Third Shinobi World War?
If we disregard top-tier combat power and focus solely on lower- and mid-tier combat power and actual control of resources...
At this moment, no ninja village can compare to the Heavenly Court.
Even Konoha!
That's the charm of economics today, especially after some aspects of the future have been determined.
Instant wealth! Wow, that's dozens of Uchiha Itachis!
After hearing the report, Uchiha Sho never expected that after he had only given a general direction, his subordinates would give him such a big surprise.
After pondering for a while, he quickly came up with the future development direction for the Heavenly Court.
"Next, the Heavenly Court needs to lie low and try to avoid major conflicts with the Five Great Ninja Villages. The direction of development is to consolidate the foundation and cultivate our own strong individuals on a large scale."
"Focus on the Kirigakure's bloodline clans. A major upheaval may occur in Kirigakure soon. If necessary, I can personally intervene to subdue any defecting bloodline clans from Kirigakure, such as the renowned clans of Hozuki, Minazuki, and Kaguya..."
"Oh, right, there's also information about the Sand Village 'Hero' Yekura. She might be betrayed by the Sand Village to the Mist Village. She's also a top-tier powerhouse who would be very suitable to join the Heavenly Court."
"Of course, during this period, the Heavenly Court can go to the Land of Rain and use money to place an order with an organization called 'Akatsuki' to handle some difficult targets for us!"
"Yes!"
Although she didn't know where Uchiha Sho got this information from, Uchiha Maruko would never ask any further questions.
Past experience has proven that Uchiha Zō's intelligence was accurate and highly forward-thinking.
Moreover, with these instructions, the general direction of the Heavenly Divine Court became much easier to determine.
A long-term, strategic perspective is also one of the key factors that makes the people of the Heavenly Court firmly follow Uchiha Sō.
He doesn't just shout slogans; he proposes concrete and feasible directions, formulates feasible plans, and then puts them into concrete actions.
A visible future gives people more confidence, doesn't it?
"Arrange for Kazuko and Kaoru to be brought here, but don't let anyone else notice."
"Our focus for the next period of time is reform, to take actual control of the Uchiha clan, and to gradually begin internal reforms."
"I will not leave unless absolutely necessary; everything is for their benefit."
"After all, the Uchiha are our most important base."
"Hey! Don't worry, Brother Xiang, I'll handle it."
Uchiha Maruko, her smooth hair flowing in the wind, was full of energy. She turned around and went to arrange for people to go to the Land of Grass.
Chapter 30, Breaking the Still Water Dao Heart
Fifteen days after Yagura was severely injured.
With a toothpick in his mouth, Uchiha Elephant put his arm around Uchiha Shisui, who had just returned, as they walked along the streets of Konoha under the moonlight.
Looking around, whether they were tourists or wealthy businessmen visiting Konoha, or local villagers or ninjas, everyone had a smile on their face.
"What's going on today? Why are they all so happy?"
These past few days, Uchiha Eiji has been staying quietly in the Uchiha clan compound to recuperate. Now is not the time to provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi.
In fact, if Uchiha Shisui hadn't returned, Uchiha Sō would have been prepared to stay in the clan compound until his injuries were fully recovered.
After all, Tsunade, as the head of Konoha's medical department, has been extremely busy lately and hasn't even had time to see him.
Uchiha Sōke knew that the Third Hokage could investigate all parts of Konoha at any time, except for the core clan territories of each clan in Konoha.
Given Uchiha Zō's "caution," he naturally wouldn't want to give Sarutobi Hiruzen even the slightest chance.
Even though the Third Hokage was unlikely to take action against him, a great contributor to Konoha, at this time, the Konoha Hokage's faction was wary of the Uchiha clan.
Even if the chance of taking action is only the slightest, Uchiha Enoki wouldn't risk it.
After all, he is still young and has a bright future ahead of him. He can afford to wait!
There's no need to go out of your way to smear the Third Hokage, who is still at his peak, just to gain a little more attention.
Of course, welcoming Uchiha Shisui, an Uchiha who was close to the Hokage faction, was different.
This move serves two purposes.
Firstly, they wanted to win over this top genius of the Uchiha clan, whose talent even surpassed that of Uchiha Shisui after the completion of the Uchiha Elephant bloodline.
However, among the contemporary Uchiha, Shisui and Obito's talents remain unparalleled in Uchiha history.
His potential is so great that, apart from Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha, who are both overpowered characters and reincarnations of Indra, no one can compare.
In fact, when it comes to talent in the Sharingan, Uchiha Sō felt that Shisui and Obito were no less than the two reincarnations of Indra.
Shisui has the potential to become a Kage-level being!
He could become a crucial asset to Uchiha Sō's future reform of the ninja world and to help him defeat the Six Paths Elder.
Secondly, by communicating with Shisui, he could mislead the strongest faction in Konoha, led by the Third Hokage, and initiate reforms of his Uchiha clan and the Konoha Police Department in a more moderate manner, gradually influencing Konoha.
Furthermore, recommending Orochimaru to become the Fourth Hokage would be a way of repaying Orochimaru for his help and guidance over the years.
I, Uchiha Sō, have always been clear about right and wrong, and I will repay any grudges I have!
After repaying his debt, if Orochimaru were to stand in his way again, there would be no need for him to show mercy!
Uchiha Xiang clearly felt that five days ago, when he returned to the Uchiha clan's territory from the Konoha hospital, the happiness index of the Konoha villagers had significantly improved.
It seems there's some solid news coming out!
"Because the war is finally coming to an end!"
Shisui looked at the jubilant villagers on the street and smiled sincerely.
