All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

"Why do you need to remember me? Are you going to pursue me? Oh dear, you're still too young. Let's develop for another two years..."

Uchiha Xiang teased with a smile, "What an adorable little kitten. Even when you're splintering, you're still so fun."

After Yugito and the others had walked away, Nara Shikaku muttered a complaint in a low voice, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Mr. Elephant, you are in full charge of the reception and security at Cloud Village..."

"Shikaku, the primary duty of the Security Department is to maintain the safety of Konoha and provide a good environment for people who come to Konoha to do business."

Uchiha Elephant held a cup of local specialties from the Land of Snow in his right hand, shook it, and sighed.

"Paying back debts is a matter of course!"

"If they don't pay back the money, I'm in a difficult position!"

“Mr. Xiang, you can have them go directly to the Ministry of Government to ask for the money.”

Nara Shikaku looked at Uchiha Sō with a wry smile and a hint of helplessness.

"What would that look like? People who don't know the situation would think that the Hokage dined and dashed. If rumors spread that he didn't benefit the Hokage, that would be bad."

Uchiha Sō could not believe that Nara Shikaku was unaware of how the rumors about Tsunade had started not long ago.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's most trusted "brain" and the head of Konoha's administrative affairs department, very few things in Konoha could escape his notice.

However, being a "clever person," Nara Shikaku often sees through things but doesn't say anything.

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku's expression changed slightly. He had known that Uchiha Sō wasn't the type to act recklessly.

It seems that the reason why the "detention" of the Cloud Village delegation has developed to this point is a counterattack against the previous rumors about Tsunade.

I believe the entire story will soon be on the Third Hokage's desk.

This was a warning to Hiruzen Sarutobi: stop trying these underhanded tricks. If you really anger him, he won't be like Fugaku Uchiha, who likes to swallow his anger.

He might just flip the table!

If you won't let me play, then nobody should play!

Seeing that Nara Shikaku was about to explain, Uchiha Sō interrupted him impatiently and turned to leave.

"Alright, Shikaku, don't treat me like a fool. Of course, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you Ino-Shika-Cho."

"After all, the cooperation between our companies has been going very smoothly."

"You're a smart person; there are some things you'd better not get involved in."

"If the Third Hokage misunderstands, it won't be good for you either."

"I'll go first, you continue with your work."

Looking at Uchiha Sō's retreating figure, Shikaku felt a mix of emotions.

Alas! What a turbulent time!

Chapter 50, Hiruzen Sarutobi: I have never lost.

Perhaps because of the "detention" incident, the Cloud Hidden Mission behaved much better for a period of time afterward.

The Konoha ninjas responsible for the security of the Kumogakure delegation were all filled with emotion.

As expected of Minister Xiang, he casually took action and greatly reduced their security pressure.

Although Uchiha Sō didn't have this idea at the time, it did cause this consequence.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Perhaps because of his warning, the Hokage faction has "behaved" and hasn't caused any other trouble during this period.

Nara Shikaku did a very good job, and the negotiations on the details of the treaty with Kumogakure were progressing smoothly.

Especially after news came from the front lines that the Third Raikage had been besieged and killed by the ninja army of the Land of Rock, the Cloud Village delegation was even more eager to return home and had no intention of continuing the argument.

Ten days after the detention of Yukito.

The alliance agreement between Konoha and Kumogakure has finally been finalized, and the terms of the agreement have been set. The signing ceremony will be held at Konoha Square at 10:00 AM two days later.

The twelfth day after the detention of Yukito.

The central square of Konoha was packed with people and bustling with noise.

Every household took to the streets, ready to welcome this historic moment.

The entire Security Department was mobilized, with members such as the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Ino-Shika-Cho cliques dispersing to maintain order.

As the vice-minister of the Security Department, Uchiha Sho naturally had to attend the event. He stood with Tsunade in a position very close to the Third Hokage.

On the stage, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood in the center.

On the left are Tudai, the head of the Cloud Village Mission, and other members of the Cloud Village Mission.

On the right are Nara Shikaku, the Konoha Minister of State Affairs in charge of this negotiation; Uchiha Sō, the Konoha Deputy Minister of the Security Department in charge of security and reception; Tsunade, the Konoha Medical Minister; other Hokage advisors; and other members of the State Affairs Department.

At 10:00 a.m., the two sides officially signed the alliance treaty amidst great anticipation.

At this moment, Konoha transformed into a sea of ​​joy.

The Third Shinobi World War is finally coming to an end. The most powerful Hidden Cloud Village has signed a treaty, and the Hidden Earth Village, Hidden Mist Village, and Hidden Sand Village will be no match for the recovered Hidden Leaf Village.

The villagers of Konoha breathed a sigh of relief and were moved to tears.

The cheers were deafening and lingered for a long time.

However, this was only the beginning of the signing ceremony.

Once the cheers subsided, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage's robes and a straw hat, waved to the crowd.

Then, full of vigor, he walked to the microphone and, with a highly infectious gesture, waved the Konoha-Kakuna Alliance Treaty (a piece of waste paper) in his hand, and began his long and inspiring speech.

"In the eighteenth year of Konoha, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, passed away. Kumogakure launched the first attack on Konoha, thus beginning the First Shinobi World War. In order to sign a peace treaty with Kumogakure, the Second Hokage, my mentor Tobirama Senju, personally went to the Land of Lightning and died in battle."

"In the 37th year of Konoha, the Second Shinobi World War broke out. Forces from multiple countries gathered in the Land of Rain to engage in a chaotic battle. Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, made a thousand-mile raid and attacked Sunagakure. Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya faced off against Hanzo, the demigod of the shinobi world, and won the title of the Three Sannin, becoming famous throughout the shinobi world."

"We have won a great victory in this battle!"

"In the 47th year of Konoha, the disappearance of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure triggered the Third Shinobi World War."

"In this great battle, facing the siege of the other four great ninja villages, the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze led his team to cut off the logistics of Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, causing Iwagakure to lose the battle and giving Konoha a crucial initiative in the war."

"The three legendary ninjas also established their reputation in this battle. The Heavenly Master Uchiha Ei repelled the attack of Kirigakure, and later the outstanding ninja Might Guy made a name for himself, causing the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure to perish in one battle."

"Konoha has never lost, but war is ultimately cruel. No one wants to see sacrifices or lose their loved ones."

"At this moment, I have held a cordial and friendly meeting with the peace ambassador of Kumogakure, Tsuchidai, and we have reached an agreement and signed this non-aggression pact for a period of one hundred years."

"The details are too complicated to read here."

"Villagers of Konoha, Konoha has once again successfully signed a peace treaty."

"I believe we have achieved a generation of peace and look forward to a longer period of peace."

……

Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech was excellent, and his proposed 100-year peace period was very compelling.

Whether it can be achieved is another matter.

In any case, this is a great achievement for the third generation.

As for his deliberate exaggeration of Minato Namikaze's role and his intentional downplaying of the impact of the battle between Uchiha Sō and Yagura Karatachi during his speech, Uchiha Sō didn't say anything.

Avoiding the important issues and focusing on the trivial ones was just a routine tactic of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He never intended to compete for the position of Fourth Hokage.

After all, even if he tried to compete, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

Ultimately, the Uchiha clan's "foundation" was still too shallow, even though he later reformed the security department and won over a large number of ninja clans and civilian ninjas.

However, there was simply not enough time for them to support him in becoming the Fourth Hokage.

Furthermore, he had already made a promise to Tsunade, and going back on his word would be detrimental to his image in Tsunade's eyes.

Avoid doing things that are thankless and exhausting!

After all, he doesn't yet possess the strength to be the best in the ninja world.

It's not the "main force" in the ninja world yet!

I cannot do that yet. My heart is the heart of Heaven; below myself, all beings are equal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is ultimately past his prime, so let's let him "win" for now.

After all, from Tsunade's perspective, he was practically her father-in-law.

There's still plenty of time!

Even if Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage with Hiruzen Sarutobi's support, so what?

This did not prevent him from continuing to reform the garrison and develop his own armed forces.

In fact, after Minato Namikaze comes to power, he will likely need to seek Hiruzen Sarutobi's support in order to get rid of Hiruzen Sarutobi's influence.

At that time, he can take this opportunity to "blackmail" Kushina Uzumaki and get some of the Nine-Tails' chakra from her. It shouldn't be a big problem!

As for Orochimaru, it seems we have no choice but to give up on him for now.

He had spoken with Orochimaru during this time, but Orochimaru ultimately couldn't let go of his master-disciple relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi's support, Orochimaru would have to join forces with Uchiha Sō to stage an armed rebellion.

With Jiraiya, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, Hyuga, and others remaining neutral, the success rate is very high.

Unfortunately, Orochimaru personally rejected this suggestion.

No wonder he gave up on Orochimaru. At worst, when Orochimaru defected later, he would go easy on him and make his departure as "easy" as possible.

With him, the de facto head of the Konoha Police Department, opening the back door, Orochimaru should be able to take whatever he wants with him.

Chapter 51, The Mysterious Otsutsuki

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech was very inspiring; the only drawback was that it lasted almost an hour.

However, Uchiha Sho listened patiently and learned some public speaking skills from it.
