Uchiha's personal opinion

"As ordered!"

Tie Shi suppressed his elation and respectfully replied.

"Also... get your hands on all the rules and regulations of the new Konoha district as soon as possible, so that Tieshi can just copy and implement them!"

Onoki said to his eldest son, Koto.

"...Yes, sir!"

……

In the palace of the Great Toad Sage in Mount Myōboku, there lies a headless corpse.

During the siege of the Land of Swamp, Shima, who had lost half of his body, was reattached to the lower body of a special ninja frog after being given a sage's technique by the Great Toad Sage.

At this moment, the Toad Immortal was staring intently at the magical talismans in the path.

Fukasaku and Shima stood respectfully below, not daring to utter a sound.

The losses to Mount Myoboku and Ryūchi Cave are too heavy!

In particular, at Longdi Cave, not only did another goddess die in battle, but even the face of the White Snake Ancestor was torn to shreds and then thrown on the ground and stomped on!

This is something that even a proud and arrogant immortal could not tolerate!

Not long after they fled back to Mount Myōboku, the White Serpent Sage personally stormed up Mount Myōboku, unleashing a furious rage before the Toad Sage, and smashing the palace to pieces before leaving triumphantly.

Neither the Great Toad Master nor the group of Greninja dared to utter a single word.

After all, this defeat was more than just a minor injury.

Especially Ryūchi-dō, it's practically paralyzed!

And the reason for this defeat is also inseparable from the headless corpse on the ground—that is, Jiraiya's responsibility!

"Ugh……"

The Great Toad Sage sighed deeply, and finally cast the sage incantation, which was faintly glowing in the path, onto Jiraiya's corpse.

"Great Immortal... I'm afraid that won't work, will it?"

"I'm going to say it with a forced smile," said the immortal.

"Several days have passed, and it's headless... Can an incomplete corpse be brought back to life?"

Master Shima continued.

The Great Toad Immortal remained silent.

It was also hesitant.

"Relying solely on the Immortal's Talisman is indeed insufficient..."

The toad sage remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Therefore, I still need your cooperation..."

"what?"

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance, then looked around.

There's nobody here!

Who did you say that to?!

Just as the two frogs were still in shock, thinking that the immortal was really senile, a gentle breeze suddenly blew through the palace.

"It's been a long time..."

The toad sage murmured, "Feathered robes..."

"Hmm... I should call you the Sage of Six Paths now..."

"I didn't realize you've gotten so old..."

As a gentle breeze blew, an aged voice echoed through the palace.

"There's no other way. Seeing the future not only requires chakra, but also consumes life force... I can probably hold on for another thousand or eight hundred years now..."

The Great Toad Immortal sighed deeply.

"Once this talisman is used, you'll have no way to save your life anymore..."

The Sage of Six Paths' voice once again echoed from all directions of the palace.

"Neither Asuras nor Indras dare to reincarnate, so I had no other choice..."

The Great Toad Sage sighed helplessly, "Speaking of which, Indra really does have an extraordinary descendant..."

"That unfilial son..."

The Sage of Six Paths' voice also carried a hint of helplessness.

"Fine, since you've made up your mind, I'll grant your wish!"

"I can't control Indra, but I'm willing to help Ashura, this good boy!"

Then, Jiraiya's headless corpse was lifted up by a gust of wind, a drop of blood appeared out of nowhere and dripped onto his heart, and the rotting flesh on his neck began to peel off and red flesh buds emerged.

Under the astonished gazes of Fukasaku and Shima, a head gradually grew out!

If Uchiha Tokumitsu saw this, he would probably say "3D printing!"

What shocked Fukasaku and Shima even more was that the "grown" heads had completely different faces!

Even her hair color changed to radiant golden light!

"This...this..."

The immortal was trembling with fear and utterly terrified.

Ignoring Fukasaku's astonishment, the Great Toad Sage took a deep breath and shot a beam of white light towards the Sage's Talisman floating on his chest, activating it.

With the effect of the Sage's Talisman, Jiraiya's corpse gradually regained its vitality.

The sage Fukasaku, who was standing nearby, could even hear a steady and powerful heartbeat!

Jiraiya slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to look around, and then looked around.

The hermit Shima, whose gaze swept over him, trembled.

This is too bizarre...

"It's been a long time, Ashura..."

"The Great Toad Immortal spoke slowly."

"...Is this my last life?"

"Jiraiya" asked the air.

"This is your last reincarnation with Indra..."

The Sage of Six Paths' voice faded into the distance, until finally, silence reigned.

Chapter 377 The Manifest Destiny of a Generation

"Congratulations to Lord Deguang!"

"Victory!"

In the grand banquet hall of the Joint Anti-Terrorist Force in southern Takigakure, Uchiha Shiina was the first to stand up and congratulate Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the Jonin attending the celebration banquet immediately echoed in unison.

"Gentlemen, at this joyous moment, in the name of the Uchiha, I pay tribute to all the Jonin who have been fighting on the front lines! Let us drink to this cup!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also raised his glass in a very respectful manner.

"The Shogunate will last forever!"

All the Jonin in charge immediately stood up and shouted in unison.

Even Orochimaru, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, drank half a cup.

Afterwards, Uchiha Tokumitsu said a few words and then let the Jonin enjoy their feast.

"By the way, where is my cousin Fugaku?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at the Jonin present and asked Uchiha Shiina.

"My cousin Fugaku~ I heard that his fiancée is about to give birth, so he rushed back ahead of time."

Uchiha Shiina once again sowed discord among Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts: "Didn't... he report this to you?"

"I don't know, maybe he was in too much of a rush."

Uchiha Tokumitsu saw through Uchiha Shiina's thoughts, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, even the Uchiha clan couldn't be a monolithic entity, and some infighting was normal.

As long as the struggle doesn't escalate to the point of civil war, Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't care.

"But...isn't she my fiancée? If that's the case, then Brother Fugaku..."

However, after having a few drinks, Uchiha Tokumitsu also became unusually interested in gossip.

"Well... I heard that Fugaku's fiancée is one of the clan's guardian ninjas, and she met him during a rotation break..."

Uchiha Shiina immediately perked up and began to recount the gossip he had heard.

With the rise of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uchiha clan's ninjas became increasingly busy. Although Uchiha ninjas rarely took on missions, there were still too many positions or conscriptions that required them, so the male Jonin within the clan were basically never idle.

However, as a ninja clan, they would inevitably retain a portion of their ninja forces as a last line of defense. Even with the current power and influence of the Uchiha clan, there was no need to worry about the safety of their clan territory. But tradition is tradition, even if it is just a symbolic existence in terms of etiquette, no matter how small the scale, it still needs to be preserved.

Although the Uchiha clan doesn't have a tradition of "women staying away from war," male ninjas do have a significant advantage under equal conditions. Therefore, most external positions are filled or filled by male ninjas, while female ninjas, especially those of average strength, generally remain in the clan compound.

Including Uchiha Tokumitsu's fiancée, Uchiha Makoto, they also stayed in the clan's territory to serve as the clan's guardian ninja.

"What is the name of Fugaku's fiancée?"

"Uchiha Tokumitsu asked."

"It seems like Mikoto is a special Jonin..."

Uchiha Shiina hesitated before answering, "It's said that she shares the same lineage as Makoto..."

"Is that so~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, his expression unchanged.

"However, there's a reason why Brother Fugaku is so nervous..."
