Jing Yue has a question.
Uchiha Maruko also activated her three-tomoe Sharingan and looked in the direction that Uchiha Eijin was gazing.
It was a remote corner on the edge of the clan's territory. Dozens of meters away, under the starlight, a cherry blossom tree, more than four or five meters tall, swayed in the wind.
Maruko and Igaku used their three-tomoe Sharingan to observe for a long time, but found nothing.
Just as they turned around to look at Uchiha Sho in confusion, Uchiha Sho suddenly smiled.
"Interesting, is this a nostalgic trip back home?"
"Maruko, Jingyue, if you ever encounter someone wearing a one-eyed mask who claims to be Uchiha Madara, contact me through Da Luo Tian immediately... and leave it to me to handle..."
"Yes!" *2
There's actually someone in the ninja world who dares to impersonate Uchiha Madara. This guy must be really strong, otherwise Brother Elephant wouldn't be so "cautious".
Jingyue and Wanzi replied with serious expressions.
Seeing the two men with somewhat serious expressions, Uchiha Xiang explained.
"This guy is special. Like Minato Namikaze, he's skilled in space-time ninjutsu. At least in the current ninja world, there shouldn't be anyone who can deal with him. He's a real problem!"
"It seems some plans need to be revised... My relationship with Tsunade... can be further developed using the rumors they've spread..."
……
Around 10 a.m. the next day, Uchiha Sho, who had arranged for others to take charge in advance, was suddenly awakened by the noise. He got up, grumbling and washing up, and went outside.
Because most of the clan members work in the security department, the Uchiha clan's territory is usually very quiet, and he planned to sleep in today.
Anyway, he has already made all the necessary arrangements, so it doesn't matter whether he shows up or not.
Besides, for him, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan and the de facto head of the security forces, to personally receive the Cloud Village delegation was giving them far too much face.
At the same time, Uchiha Sō was also considering the Third Hokage's health. He was so old and had recently become a bit sensitive, so he probably couldn't withstand the stimulation.
The powerful young faction in Konoha is colluding with the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although he wasn't afraid, he didn't want to provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo into starting a major war with him in Konoha.
After all, his goal was to reform Konoha, not to destroy it.
In any case, this is his future property, and if it's destroyed, he'll have to spend money to rebuild it. "It's heartbreaking, isn't it?"
He's not like Hiruzen Sarutobi or Danzo, those two spendthrift sons!
Unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan compound was unusually bustling today, with men, women, and children all coming out of their homes.
In the dim light, Uchiha Sho heard the words "Cloud Village Mission".
Ok?
Why did the Cloud Village delegation arrive so early?
However, it's human nature to enjoy watching a spectacle.
Let's leave aside the past life; the Chinese are known for their love of watching a spectacle.
In this era, the ninja world already lacked entertainment, and with the dawn of peace about to arrive, even the proud Uchiha couldn't resist going to see what was going on.
After quickly washing up, Uchiha Enoki was wide awake and arrived at the gate of the clan compound in a few instants.
Just then, they saw the Konoha villagers spreading the news, as well as a group of about ten people from the Cloud Village, led by Uchiha Koichi and surrounded by villagers, walking towards the center of Konoha.
In the vast sea of people, Uchiha Xiang was immediately drawn to a girl from the Cloud Village delegation.
She looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with long, straight, beige hair braided into pigtails that hung down her back.
With cherry lips and pearly white teeth, she was bright and charming, her looks were no less than Tsunade and Kazuko, and her temperament was different from the two mature women.
She appears gentle, but as she walks, her slightly upturned chin exudes a queenly arrogance, which is incredibly endearing.
Chapter 42, The Two Yukito
Walking through the streets of Konoha, Yugito and his two companions, who served as the "military force" of the Kumogakure delegation, looked around, observing the unique local customs and culture of Konoha.
Of the five great ninja nations, the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth are mostly mountainous and hilly, the Land of Water is an archipelago at sea, and the Land of Wind is mostly located in desert areas.
Only the Land of Fire is vast and rich in resources, and is the most prosperous.
The Land of Fire's abundant resources and excellent geographical location have created a prosperous economic advantage, which has also made the spirit of the common people and ninjas of the Land of Fire different from those of other countries.
Yunyin Village is nestled among towering mountains, with steep terrain that makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The village practices military-style village policy, with civilians and ninjas making up as much as two-thirds of the population, and little emphasis is placed on economic development, people's livelihood, and cultural development.
The atmosphere in the village was generally quite serious.
Konoha, on the other hand, is more like a large, comprehensive town with its own commercial system, a unique Will of Fire culture, and its own ninja academy...
The number of ninjas was no less than that of the Hidden Cloud Village, and the number of civilians far exceeded that of the Hidden Cloud Village by several times.
Moreover, the living standards of these villagers far exceeded those of the common people in other villages and towns that the two wooden men had seen along their journey.
Most villagers in Konoha are engaged in handicrafts, family workshops, small vendors, and other industries. Many families even use the ground floor of their houses to open shops.
The prosperity of Konoha provided Konoha ninjas with a large number of daily tasks, and also provided Konoha with a large reserve of soldiers.
After all, with families becoming wealthy, Konoha commoners would send their children to take the ninja test and enter the Konoha Ninja Academy so that their descendants could stand out.
In recent years, Konoha has seen the emergence of a considerable number of outstanding civilian ninjas.
Among them, the most famous and strongest is Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, who is Jiraiya's disciple.
This person is the "culprit" who caused Iwagakure's logistics to be cut off and the battle to turn against them.
Rumor has it that because of this battle, he is a strong contender to succeed the Fourth Hokage in Konoha.
"So, what are your impressions of personally visiting Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, and experiencing their customs and culture?"
A young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old asked the two Yugitos a question. This man was none other than Tsuchidai, the chief person in charge of this Kumogakure delegation, the strategist of the Third Raikage, and a ninja with the Lava Release Bloodline Limit.
"Its prosperity is beyond imagination; even the capital of the Land of Lightning pales in comparison to Konoha."
The two Yugitos remarked from the bottom of their hearts that there were far too many wealthy people in Konoha, and that the common people of Konoha were far too affluent.
When they came to Konoha, it was like country bumpkins visiting the city; they were overwhelmed by everything and found everything novel and exciting.
"It's hard to imagine that a ninja village could be so prosperous and powerful. No wonder Konoha could withstand the siege of the other four great ninja villages at the same time without falling. It truly deserves to be the strongest village in the ninja world."
"If Kumogakure had chosen to build its village here, its development might not have been inferior to Konoha's."
Tsuchida observed the bustling commerce of Konoha's streets with a look of envy.
The village's prosperity is reflected in many aspects: a large population, abundant money, and plentiful resources, namely human, financial, and material resources.
In these respects, Konoha, located in the Land of Fire, has a huge inherent advantage.
Possessing the most fertile land in the ninja world and supporting the largest population, it naturally boasts the most comprehensive mission system in the ninja world.
It also brought together various ninja clans from the Warring States period, including the Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga clans.
Even though Kumogakure and Iwagakure caught up with Konoha in terms of ninja numbers through aggressive military expansion, it was merely a forced increase.
A large-scale war could cripple them and leave them recovering for a long time.
As for Kirigakure and Sunagakure, needless to say, if it weren't for their advantageous terrain and their effective counter-attacks, and the fact that they didn't have much to offer themselves, they might have been kicked out of the ranks of the "Five Great" ninja villages long ago.
"Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs.' The Senju and Uchiha clans joined forces to establish Konoha, so how could they possibly give up the most fertile Land of Fire to someone else?"
The two wooden figures were more lucid. On their way here, they made a special trip through the Valley of the End and saw with their own eyes the two statues that were hundreds of meters tall.
Majestic, towering, and unparalleled!
As the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, Yugito Nii had a more direct experience of the power and terror of these two so-called gods of the ninja world than ordinary people.
At that time, both Nio Matatabi became "quiet".
Yugito and Matatabi became Matatabi's jinchūriki at the age of two, and in all these years, they had never seen Matatabi's chakra so "quiet".
In the ninja world, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are the weapons of war of the five great ninja villages. The perfect Jinchuriki are the strongest people standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, comparable to the Kage of a village.
However, even such a powerful tailed beast was easily defeated by those two when they joined forces, or perhaps they didn't even have to join forces.
It's important to know that the Tailed Beasts, which are now used as strategic weapons by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, were originally distributed to them by Hashirama Senju himself.
Did Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, not know the terror of the Tailed Beasts?
No, he knew, but he didn't need to care while he was alive. In his eyes, the tailed beasts were no different from kittens.
Would a normal person worry about a kitten hurting them? No.
Moreover, the reason he distributed the Tailed Beasts was that he hoped that after his and Madara's deaths, the five great ninja villages would fear the destructive power of the Tailed Beasts and be able to maintain a long-term peace in the ninja world.
Unfortunately, this god of the ninja world ultimately underestimated the human heart.
"Yes, there are no 'what ifs.' It's all just wishful thinking. With the Senju and Uchiha clans around, who could have seized this fertile land back then? However, there's one thing you're wrong about, Yugito."
"what?"
Tsuchikage explained, "It wasn't that the Senju and Uchiha chose the Land of Fire to establish Konoha; rather, the Senju and Uchiha were already in the Land of Fire during the Warring States period, and their ancestral home is right here."
Upon hearing this, the two wooden figures suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
The rules of this world have never changed; it has always been the law of the jungle.
Truth lies only within the range of cannon fire!
Whoever has the bigger fist and the stronger power will own a larger and more fertile land.
Since the chaotic Warring States period a thousand years ago, the most powerful ninja clans, the Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, have always occupied the most fertile land in the ninja world.
The Kurama, Hatake, Shimura, Sarutobi, and other families depend on them for survival, and they wage endless wars on the land of the Land of Fire.
The ninja village system established by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha was simply a consolidation and change of the previous situation where each village fought its own battles, competed with each other, and became increasingly intertwined.
They completely integrated the ninja mission system, achieving a monopoly on the downstream of the ninja mission system, and collectively sought greater profits from the upstream mission issuers.
"Hearing what you say, senior Tsuchida, it seems that the rules of the ninja world have never changed. It was the same in the Warring States period, and it is still the same now."
The two Yukitos seemed inexplicably melancholy.
"Yes, it has never changed, but what can we ninjas do? If we want to live better, if we want the village to prosper, we can only fight and rob."
Looking at the bustling Konoha, Tsuchida wore a bitter smile that reflected a complex mix of emotions.
