Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

"Bones in a tomb!"

"The Sand Village will belong to the Uchiha clan in the future!"

Watching the Third Kazekage, Masa, depart, Uchiha Nan murmured to himself.

The ninjas these days are so naive; every gift that fate bestows has already had a price tag attached in secret.

Konoha paid only a negligible amount of money, but gained the future of the entire Sunagakure village. This was a huge profit.

Uchiha Nan hummed a little tune as he returned to his lodgings, where he enjoyed another hot spring bath. He had drunk some alcohol at noon and was covered in sweat, so he needed a shower to refresh himself.

After taking a shower, Uchiha Nan made himself a cup of hot tea and idly flipped through the turntable system while drinking it.

Before I knew it, I had accumulated ten lottery draws.

On such a joyous day, something good should come out, right? On such an auspicious day, gold is bound to be produced!

Uchiha Nan suddenly felt a strange sense of confidence, and his finger involuntarily moved to the lottery button.

Rinse it!

Let's do it big, and get it over with quickly!

Ten consecutive pulls!

The system's roulette wheel reappeared in front of Uchiha Nan, the pointer began to spin rapidly, and a flash of white light appeared.

"Three shuriken!"

Glutinous rice balls.

"A handful of bitter herbs"

"Electric tricycle"

"A roll of toilet paper"

"Bloodstains: Ice Release"

"Three boxes of amoxicillin"

"A piece of underwear"

"Four kunai!"

"Bench!"

Hey! Great! I won!

Uchiha Nan was as happy as an eight-year-old child. It had been so long, and finally something good had come out.

Bloodline Limit Ice Release, although it doesn't show strong performance in the Naruto world and only has one user, Xiao Nan Liang Bai, could be a powerful bloodline if developed properly. Even if it's just for showing off, it's still an excellent bloodline.

It's worth it, this is definitely worth it!

Cola is like room-temperature horse urine, or ice-cold Guojiao (a type of Chinese liquor)!

From now on, you can have iced cola anytime you want.

As Uchiha Nan felt the new power emerging within his body, he released a small amount of its power, and a chill emanated from his body, instantly turning the hot tea in his hand into ice.

After being happy for a while, Uchiha Nan carefully looked through the rewards that had been revealed. The overall quality of the rewards this time was very high, as high as three floors!

Aside from Bloodstained Ice Escape, the most useful items are naturally the electric tricycle and amoxicillin; everything else is just a bonus and not worth mentioning.

Electric tricycles, commonly known as three-wheeled vehicles, are widely used in the Rabbit Kingdom, serving as daily transportation for ordinary people and holding great significance for Konoha.

After all, transportation is a major problem. Nowadays, almost all the goods produced in Konoha are transported by animal power, which is inefficient and wastes time.

Uchiha Nan had long been annoyed by this, but Tobirama had so many research tasks that they couldn't be written down on several sheets of paper, and the scope of these tasks was particularly broad. Even Tobirama Senju, a top-notch research master, was not a god and needed to explore and learn slowly.

Railcars capable of transporting large quantities of goods are still under development. Even after completion, a large amount of funding will be needed to lay the tracks and build the trains.

Now things are much better! There's a readily available electric tricycle as an alternative, and we can even provide Tobirama Senju with a physical prototype. This will greatly shorten the research and development process, and perhaps Tobirama Senju can apply this knowledge to accelerate the research and development of trains.

Another great thing, amoxicillin, needs no introduction. Its main ingredient is penicillin, an indispensable drug in modern medicine. It can be said to be a life-saving miracle drug. In the era before large-scale production, one gram was more valuable than gold!

Although the ninja world possesses medical ninjutsu, medical ninjas are extremely scarce. To date, only the major clans of Konoha are able to train them. It will take Konoha at least another ten years to train a large number of qualified medical ninjas.

But medical ninjas ultimately serve ninjas; ordinary people are not entitled to such luxurious treatment. Therefore, penicillin is also a miracle drug for ordinary people in the ninja world. Common flu and inflammation can also take the lives of a large number of ordinary people in this world.

Most importantly, penicillin is incredibly profitable, with a market size in the entire ninja world that is beyond imagination. Uchiha Nan has a premonition that this business will become an important source of revenue for Konoha in the future.

With the physical sample of penicillin in hand, Tobirama Senju's research progress can be accelerated once again!

Good things come in pairs! Uchiha Nan had given up hope of winning the regular lottery, since it was mostly just trash from the living quarters. But now it seems that even winning a living quarters prize in the regular lottery can yield some really useful items for Konoha.

Intrigued, Uchiha Nan opened the system's task interface, intending to see which tasks could be completed soon and would grant a large number of lottery draw chances.

Skip over the missions that violate morals, and soon Uchiha Nan locks onto a mission.

[Bloodline Godfather: Invite three or more non-Konoha bloodline families to join Konoha.]

Task Reward: Sixty Lottery Draws

With a total of sixty reward opportunities, Uchiha Nan had plenty of time to focus on completing this task.

Uchiha Nan recalled the bloodline clans of the ninja world. There were only so many bloodline clans in the ninja world, and it was really not easy to gather four bloodline clans to join Konoha.

The Hozuki clan, Kaguya clan, and Minazuki clan of Kirigakure.

The Uzumaki clan, Konoha's little brothers.

There seems to be another Blood Pool Clan, who also possesses a Bloodline Limit of the Eye Technique type. However, this clan is rather tragic. A girl from the clan was married as a concubine to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, but the Daimyo died shortly after marrying her.

The wife of the daimyo of the Land of Lightning blamed all of this on the girl, exiling the entire clan to Hell Valley. The clan they had employed was none other than the Uchiha clan. What a tragedy.

Hell Valley seems to be located in the Land of Hot Springs!

"What a coincidence," Uchiha Nan muttered to himself. He had no confidence that clans persecuted by the Uchiha clan would be willing to join Konoha.

Uchiha Nan didn't have much of an impression of the remaining wild bloodline clans in the ninja world. He needed to return to Konoha and send out ninjas to gather some information, which would be best if he could find some.

Uchiha Nan sat there, thinking carefully for a while. The Blood Pond Clan was worth considering, and the Uzumaki Clan was a given, as Uchiha Nan had been eyeing that juicy prize.

There are still two vacancies left.

Based on the known bloodline families, the only option is to target Kirigakure.

In any case, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure, Mizuto, probably now sees the Blood Clan in the village as a thorn in his side and wishes he could kill them all.

Uchiha Nan could take this opportunity to gather all the bloodline clans of Kirigakure and bring them all into Konoha's camp.

Uchiha Nan recalled the latest information about Kirigakure. He had heard that the rumors about Kirigakure had been getting worse and worse. Kirigakure was located overseas and was closed off from all sides. Its internal policies were also very restrictive and closed.

People living in closed environments often become ignorant and foolish. Rumors have been circulating that the Bloodstained Ninjas are cursed and will bring death and war.

This is the ninja world, where extraordinary powers exist. It's not surprising that there are some strange curses, which provides fertile ground for rumors to spread.

This time, it was the Third Mizukage, Mizuto, who spread the rumors. These villagers, who had been ravaged by war, finally had an outlet to vent their anger. Once the villagers were bewitched and their minds were filled with conspiracy theories, they wouldn't care whether these ridiculous rumors were true or not; they would only vent their resentment.

Just like Naruto in later generations, the ridiculous rumor of being a reincarnation of a demon fox could actually spread throughout Konoha, and all the villagers could believe it. This is enough to show how ignorant the villagers of the ninja village can sometimes be.

They didn't even care whether the rumors were true or false; all they wanted was a punching bag, and the weak and helpless Naruto was perfect for it. (This is all Danzo's fault, haha. It's just the author's conspiracy theory, so just take it as a joke and don't take it too seriously.)

Mizuto is stirring things up from behind the scenes, and now the villagers of Kirigakure are showing signs of collectively ostracizing the Bloodline Clan.

Specifically, this manifests as secretly rolling their eyes, spitting, and the Bloodstained Family's children charging extra for things when they come to buy them.

The attitude of ordinary ninjas in Kirigakure towards the Bloodstained Clan also changed, and they began to ostracize the Bloodstained Clan.

Bloodstained ninjas and ordinary ninjas are naturally opposed to each other. Whether it is talent, physical strength, or chakra capacity, bloodstained ninjas are generally stronger than ordinary ninjas.

In ninja villages, bloodstained ninjas naturally receive more training resources, which is perfectly reasonable; the strong should receive more resources.

But things are different now. Shuidou was born ordinary and doesn't have any innate bloodline boundaries.

The Mizukage himself rose to power by stepping over a group of bloodline clan ninjas, so the bloodline clans of Kirigakure have always disliked Mizuto and have always been at odds with him.

If Mizuto wanted to secure his position as the Mizukage of Kirigakure, he had no choice but to rely on ordinary ninjas. He allocated resources that originally belonged to the Bloodline Clan to ordinary ninjas and tried to win them over as much as possible.

Mizuto and the ordinary ninjas share the same background and interests. In addition, rumors have spread throughout Kirigakure. The ordinary ninjas know who to support by voting with their feet. Whether the rumors are true or not has become important. — The Six-Man Ninja only ate a bowl of noodles, but so what?

Real, tangible benefits are what truly matter!

Uchiha Nan carefully went through the ideas in his mind. There was great potential in poaching Kirigakure, but the fire wasn't burning bright enough yet; he needed to add some more fuel.

The Hyuga clan.

Uchiha Nan thought of the Hyuga clan, which had always had a good relationship with the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure.

Although the two clans live in different ninja villages, they have always maintained a good relationship, and they exchanged gifts to celebrate the New Year.

It would be best if the Hyuga clan intervened and caused trouble.

Uchiha Nan immediately summoned the Hyuga branch family members who had accompanied him, including Hyuga Yama.

He is Takuma Hinata's younger brother.

"Lord Hokage, what are your orders?"

Hyuga Yashin knelt before Uchiha Nan, his back ramrod straight, clearly having received strict upbringing, and his tone was extremely respectful.

Uchiha Nan was leisurely reclining on the tatami mat. It wasn't a public place, so there was no need to be so serious.

"Take it easy, this is in private, there's no need to be so formal."

"Lord Hokage, this is merely the courtesy I should show!"

Hyuga also said very seriously that in the Hyuga clan, there is a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors. The branch family must always show respect to the main family, and the most direct way to express this is through etiquette.

There must be proper posture when standing and sitting; not a single careless lapse is acceptable, or else a scolding will follow. Those who repeatedly fail to correct their ways will be treated like caged birds. How dare they disrespect the dignity of the clan! They must be taught a lesson!

Uchiha Nan curled his lip. It seemed that every member of the Hyuga branch family he had ever met was like this, disciplined like wooden puppets.

Although Uchiha Nan disapproved of the Caged Bird Seal clan's operating mechanism, so far, the Hyuga clan's mechanism has been very successful, ensuring the Hyuga clan's continuation for a thousand years. Even in Naruto's era, it can still be considered a success.

Of the three major bloodline clans in Konoha, only the Hyuga clan remains, making it the undisputed number one bloodline clan in Konoha.

Regardless of how exploitative the "Caged Bird" system is to its members, just tell me whether it's successful or not.

Whether this caged bird mechanism will work in the more distant future depends on the wisdom of future generations.

Uchiha Nan looked at Hyuga Yashin, who was sitting upright and meticulously, and sighed inwardly.

God helps those who help themselves; let's trust in the wisdom of future generations!

Uchiha Nan didn't want to get involved in the Hyuga clan's messy affairs, nor did he care. It was their clan's internal matter, and even as Hokage, he had no right to interfere.

Uchiha Nan and the Hyuga clan are now inseparable. Hyuga Takuma dreams of getting Hyuga Asuka into his bed, so why should he cause trouble with the Hyuga clan?

"Indeed, your family has a close relationship with the Kaguya clan. I have a task for you."

"The new Mizukage of Kirigakure has a slight disagreement with the Bloodline Clan within the village, and it's starting to escalate."

"If Kirigakure does not welcome their bloodline clan, Konoha is ready to open its doors to them."

Uchiha Nan made it very clear, and Hyuga truly understood what Uchiha Nan meant: this was an attempt to undermine Kirigakure.

"Lord Hokage, are you instructing me to go to my residence in Kirigakure and secretly invite the Kaguya clan to join Konoha?"

Hinata Yama's emotions fluctuated, and he replied in a somewhat lighthearted tone.

If the Kaguya clan joins Konoha, the Hyuga clan's influence in Konoha will greatly increase!

If the Kaguya clan were to defect to Konoha, they would be unfamiliar with the place and would inevitably need to find an ally there. The Hyuga clan, which is already on good terms with the Kaguya clan, would be the perfect choice. The alliance of two powerful bloodline clans in Konoha would have an effect far beyond the simple sum of its parts.

"No, I want the Third Mizukage to know that the Kaguya clan wants to join Konoha."

Uchiha Nan smiled, actively trying to win over the Kaguya clan—this was not Uchiha Nan's usual style.

The Kaguya clan must take the initiative to contact them.

"Yes, you'll have to sneak in secretly, but you have to make sure Mizuto finds out."

"When you communicate with the Kaguya clan, be careful with your wording. You must show Konoha's tolerance towards the Bloodline Clan, the prosperity of the Bloodline Clan in Konoha, and Konoha's thirst for talent. Most importantly, the Mizukage must be fully aware of your conversation."
