Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

early morning

Uchiha Nan, dressed neatly and wearing the Hokage's robe, stepped out of the room.

After months of preparation, the Five Shadows Summit is finally set to begin today.

The magnificent conference hall was filled with well-dressed and gentlemanly ninja village elites who participated in the meeting. Of course, none of the above were present.

The world is a makeshift operation. The ninjas of the five great ninja villages are all ruthless killers. After attending school for a year or two, they go straight to taking up knives and doing missions to kill people. You could barely call them semi-illiterate, since they can read, so it's inappropriate to call them illiterate.

They had a blood feud with each other, so it was good enough that they didn't fight when they met.

"Naruto."

Kazekage Masa greeted Uchiha Nan and walked over to her side, walking side by side.

Uchiha Nan is the future financial backer of Sunagakure and cannot be neglected; he must be treated with utmost care.

After Mosa returned that day, he recounted the contents of the alliance agreement he had made with Uchiha Nan, and the entire Sunagakure delegation was so excited that their legs trembled.

A rich man fell from the sky, and you have to cling to his coattails. Perhaps Uchiha Nan's performance was too perfect.

Mosa praised Uchiha Nan to the skies in front of the Sunagakure leaders, calling him a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who had transcended vulgar interests, and a person who was beneficial to the people of the ninja world.

Even if Uchiha Nan had designs on Sunagakure, they couldn't refuse the price he offered because Sunagakure was simply too impoverished.

Uchiha Nan nodded in acknowledgment and continued walking forward. Not far away stood a grand hotel, the most luxurious place in the entire Yugakure village.

Tang Ying booked the entire hotel today. The largest private room was used for the five philanthropists to hold a meeting, while his henchmen waited downstairs and could also have a meal there.

Soon all the groups arrived, forming a large, imposing crowd at the hotel entrance, giving the impression of an impending gangland brawl. Tang Ying personally took charge of maintaining order, arranging his henchmen into different private rooms downstairs in the hotel, while Uchiha Nan and the others went upstairs to their private rooms.

The five philanthropists took their seats. Mosa smiled. He was just there to coast along. He had already gotten all the aid he was entitled to. All that was left was to sign a respectable peace agreement.

The Third Raikage, A, and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, exchanged a glance. They formed an alliance to fight against the increasingly powerful Konoha.

Mizuto stared at Uchiha Nan with a gloomy look in his eyes. Yesterday, he had been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Uchiha Nan, and his face had been humiliated by the bloodline clans in the village. The little prestige he had just established had vanished completely.

At every crucial moment, Hyuga Yashin was there to cause trouble. If it were just a coincidence, Mizuto would never believe it without Uchiha Nan manipulating things behind the scenes.

The war is over. There were no winners in the First Shinobi World War, only losers. Every ninja village suffered heavy losses and it will take several years to recover. This includes Konoha, of course.

Konoha is rich now, extremely rich. Its only drawback is the huge loss of personnel. Each ninja clan needs time to have children and cultivate new blood, and the ninja academy also needs time to train ninjas.

Therefore, this meeting was very simple. They simply took out the peace agreement prepared by the first generation leader, kept the key contents unchanged, modified the time, and signed it directly.

The peace treaty was nothing to these roughnecks in the ninja world; they still fought as usual.

However, Uchiha Nan valued this matter quite a bit. As a transmigrator from the Rabbit Kingdom, he had an ingrained habit of thinking that there was a legitimate reason for his actions. He was certain that this new agreement would be useful in the future.

Within five years, the five great ninja villages are not allowed to attack each other and have an obligation to maintain peace in the ninja world. Anyone who violates this rule will be attacked by the entire ninja world!

Thus, the Five Kage Summit following the First Shinobi World War officially came to an end, known as the Yumura Agreement!

After the meeting, the five philanthropists walked out of the room in distinct groups. Uchiha Nan and Masa secretly signed a series of agreements, forming an alliance, and walked side by side.

The Third Hokage, A, and Onoki traveled together, both extremely dissatisfied with the outcome of the Fourth Shinobi World War. A had made great strides and achieved numerous victories, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed and was defeated by Kirigakure, ending in a regrettable defeat.

The other side fought a fierce battle with Konoha, a war of attrition that left the village heavily indebted, ultimately forcing it to negotiate peace with Konoha.

The two ninja villages, ambitious to make a comeback, joined forces five years later to challenge Konoha once again.

As for Mizuto, he walked out of the room alone. Kirigakure suffered the fewest losses in this Ninja World War, and he was left alone overseas, intending to make a final move and make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, after the Second Hokage's sudden death, the village was rife with internal conflicts. Mizuto had no interest in dealing with these troublesome matters on the mainland and was focused on reforming the village's internal affairs, completely suppressing the bloodline families within the village, and securing his position as Mizukage.

After the meeting, there was a lunch of food and drinks. The ninjas from the five great ninja villages ate heartily in their respective private rooms, while Mosa and his confidants from Sunagakure came over to offer toasts.

Uchiha Nan only recognized one person: Granny Chiyo. Well, calling her Aunt Chiyo would be more appropriate. She was ten years older than Uchiha Nan, already married, her husband deceased, a widow, still quite attractive, and had a child with her. She had no one to take her in.

The two groups met in a harmonious atmosphere. At the dinner table, Uchiha Nan displayed his social skills, boasting extensively about the future of Konoha and Sunagakure, and was very adept at making grand promises.

During the gathering, Mosa earnestly consulted Uchiha Nan about the future development direction of Sunagakure, arguing that blindly seeking external help was not the right path, and that relying on oneself was better than relying on heaven or earth.

"Planting trees and creating forests is the only way to resist wind and sand. There is no other way."

"You are all too familiar with the situation in Sunagakure. The Land of Wind is located in a desert with scarce water resources and no vegetation."

"To put it bluntly, that place is not suitable for human habitation."

Uchiha Nan sighed and expressed his opinion.

"I know, but this is our home."

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table became somewhat oppressive. The ninjas from Sunagakure had gloomy expressions, and Uchiha Nan's words were harsh, but that was the truth.

"If Sunagakure needs it, Konoha has a professional research team that can research super drought-resistant plants for Sunagakure. Sunagakure only needs to provide the research costs."

Uchiha Nan, in order to secure his own golden mission, was not even planning to earn any extra research funds from Sunagakure, which meant he was essentially getting Senju Tobirama's valuable labor for free!

"Sunagakure has also considered this; not only will it cost a lot of money, but it might also take one or two years to see results."

"One or two years? It would be good if we could see results in twenty years."

Uchiha Nan delivered the final blow, saying it would take twenty years. That was still giving Sunagakure an inch. They were so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, let alone have the resources to improve the environment. It would require the entire Land of Wind's strength, a massive project that would require the combined resources of the entire nation.

However, even if Sunagakure is willing to put in the effort, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind will probably have to consider it for a long time. A project of this scale will be an endless drain on money once it starts, and it cannot be stopped. If it is stopped, all efforts will be in vain, and the whole country will have to tighten its belt and live a hard life for twenty years. This really requires a Daimyo with an unyielding will.

"Twenty years"

Mosa fell silent. This was such a long time. The Sand Village could produce two or even three generations.

Tian Xingjian, the gentleman is self-improvement.

How many nations can truly embody the spirit of self-reliance? Sunagakure Village needs two or three generations to carry on this burden!

"Fengying, do you know when is the best time to plant a tree?"

Seeing that Masa was hesitant, Uchiha Nan spoke up. Masa shook his head. He had never planted a tree before. His skills were either used for killing or for panning for gold in the desert.

"One was ten years ago, and the other is now."

"The wind and sand will continue to erode the remaining oasis in the Land of Wind, until the Land of Wind becomes a desert and is no longer suitable for human habitation."

"Twenty years...that's a long time, but maybe my son's children will see it."

Chiyo's eyes gleamed. She had lived half her life in this damned desert, and even her son lived in this damned environment. Was her grandson going to live in this terrible place too?

"Hokage, Chiyo will be leading a delegation to Konoha to witness the prosperity of Konoha under your rule, and to finalize the cooperation between Konoha and Sunagakure."

Mosa didn't want to continue the heavy topic from before. He would consider Uchiha Nan's suggestion, as it was a matter of great importance. After returning to the village, he would talk to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind about this matter. It was impossible to accomplish this with the power of Sunagakure alone; the Daimyo's power was necessary.

Mosa didn't have time to go to Konoha; he had a ton of things to deal with in Sunagakure, including panning for gold dust in the desert.

After the banquet, Uchiha Nan returned to his lodgings, took a comfortable bath, and lay on the tatami mat. The Five Kage Summit was finally resolved, and it was time to collect information on the Bloodline Clan—the Blood Pond Clan.

On the table was the latest information about the Blood Pool Clan.

When the Blood Pond clan was completely defeated by the Uchiha clan, the entire clan was exiled. Their fighting force was wiped out, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The Uchiha clan warned the remaining members that from then on, the Blood Pond clan could only live in Hell Valley to atone for their sins. If they dared to take even half a step outside, the Uchiha clan would completely annihilate the Blood Pond clan.

The Blood Pond Clan was driven to Hell Valley by the Uchiha Clan. As its name suggests, the valley was a hellish place, with lava filling the ground and a pungent sulfurous gas permeating the air year-round. Living in such a place was worse than death.

This feud is too deep. Uchiha Nan had a headache, but for the sake of the mission, he still had to go to Hell Valley.

After waking up, Uchiha Nan instructed Hyuga Yashin to wait where he was, and then took some food and headed to Hell Valley.

Hell Valley

"Cough cough cough"

The smell here is really strong.

As Uchiha Nan walked into Hell Valley, a strong, pungent odor assaulted his senses, causing him to cough repeatedly.

The place is sparsely populated, with only a few weeds growing on the ground. You can vaguely see white bones on the ground, whether they are animal bones or human bones, it is hard to tell.

"Yay, that's awesome!"

After walking for more than half an hour, Uchiha Nan finally heard human voices.

There were two girls, one big and one small, both thin and looking frail and malnourished.

The two girls excitedly picked up the bird carcasses from the ground. The older girl bit into the wound on the bird carcass and greedily sucked out the fresh blood. Compared to the scalding, poisonous boiling water here, blood was the best source of hydration.

"elder sister."

"I want one too!"

The younger sister eagerly tugged at her older sister, her eyes filled with longing.

The older sister reluctantly opened her mouth, leaving the last of her blood to her younger sister.

Uchiha Nan was somewhat shocked by what he saw; these two girls were too fierce.

Hello!

Uchiha Nan stepped forward to greet them, and the two sisters immediately became alert. The older sister shielded her younger sister and looked at Uchiha Nan with a wary expression. In this hellish place, apart from the members of the Blood Pond Clan, she had never seen any strangers.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a really good person!"

As Uchiha Nan stepped forward, he took out water and rice balls.

Moments later, Uchiha Nan successfully captured the two sisters.

"Delicious! Delicious!!!"

"The water tastes so sweet."

The two sisters wolfed down the food brought by Uchiha Nan, not wasting a single crumb that fell on the ground.

Uchiha Nan patiently waited for the two to finish their food, then asked them about their surnames. As expected, they were indeed members of the Blood Pond clan.

"Take me to see your chieftain."

Uchiha Nan easily won over the two little girls. Having never eaten proper food in their lives, they simply couldn't resist the charm of rice balls.

Before long, Uchiha Nan arrived at the Blood Pond Clan's territory. To call it territory was really just a patch of weeds, with not a single decent house, just piles of stones.

Looking around, only a few dozen members of the Blood Pond Clan remained. Back in the day, they were a powerful ninja clan in the ninja world.

Uchiha Nan went directly to the current head of the Blood Pond Clan, Blood Pond Toen, revealed his identity, and then explained his purpose.

The Blood Pond Clan has suffered enough. The Uchiha, representing Konoha, can accept the Blood Pond Clan, bring them to Konoha, and allow them to live a happy life again.

Uchiha Nan originally thought he would have to spend a lot of time persuading her, but to his surprise, Bloodstained Iketo En agreed unusually decisively, as if afraid that Uchiha Nan would go back on his word. He was even willing to be a dog for the Uchiha clan.

The Blood Pool clan has dwindled to just a few dozen members, all of them malnourished and never having eaten anything proper. They survive by drinking boiled water, catching passing birds, and eating the few wild grasses on the ground.

The family's strength is negligible. What kind of outstanding ninja can be cultivated in such an environment? Chakra is a product of the combination of mental and physical strength.

Moreover, the things the Uchiha did back then were exceptionally ruthless. The blood pool clan's ninjutsu was almost completely lost, leaving only one or two moves passed down orally.

The hellish environment was so educational that they didn't care about even their sworn enemies, as long as they could escape this hell.

The process went incredibly smoothly. Uchiha Nan easily took over the Blood Pond Clan, and after meeting up with the Konoha delegation, he embarked on his journey back to the village.

Not long after, the great Third Hokage returned to his loyal Konoha.
