Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Uchiha Nan has been searching for the Box of Bliss recently. Odebiao has marked all the suspicious burial sites in the Land of Grass. These places are rarely visited and are very well hidden.

It is said that these marked locations were where ninjas used sealing techniques to bury "treasures" during the Warring States period or even earlier. For example, dangerous ninjutsu, ferocious monsters, and other dangerous things. Instead of properly destroying them, they were sealed away and left to future generations. What kind of bad habit is this!

Uchiha Nan dealt with a ferocious monster, grumbled, marked it on the map, and headed to the next burial site.

Although he had been running around outside all day these days, Uchiha Nan decisively chose the former over sitting in the office and dealing with documents.

Soon, Uchiha Nan arrived at a certain valley.

"Why is there a thousand-armed clan emblem here?"

After searching for a while, Uchiha Nan found a sealed location, and the prominent Senju clan crest on it caught his attention.

The treasure left behind by the Senju clan?

With anticipation rising in his heart, Uchiha Nan forcibly broke the sealing technique and approached the center of the seal. In the pitch-black environment, a scarlet eye was revealed.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Evasion Technique!"

Disregarding martial ethics, resorting to sneak attacks!

A giant fireball shot out, catching Uchiha Nan off guard, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Uchiha Nan immediately withdrew from the cramped sealing area. Fighting here was not a wise choice; the space was small and it was easy to break the terrain and bury himself alive.

As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Uchiha Nan, who had been lying in ambush outside the cave, was approached by an Uchiha clansman dressed in classic Uchiha attire and sporting Madara's hairstyle.

Uchiha? And a girl?

"Wait a minute, there's a misunderstanding! I am the current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Nan, and I've come specifically to rescue you!"

Uchiha Nan immediately introduced himself, explaining that the Senju clan's sealing technique had sealed an Uchiha—it made perfect sense, absolutely perfect sense.

But I'm an Uchiha too! Uchiha don't fight Uchiha!

"Die! Whether it's the Uchiha or the Senju, they all deserve to die!"

The unfamiliar Uchiha girl was extremely ruthless; she clearly wanted to kill him, and she kept cursing at him.

"The ninja world is too cruel. I will destroy it all. Aaaaah! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"The Uchiha deserve to die, and the Senju deserve to die too."

"I've seen the ninja world for what it truly is!"

"destroy!!"

"."

Oh no, we've unleashed a world of hatred!

These classic quotes have been revealed; it would be a disservice to these classic quotes not to awaken a Mangekyou Sharingan!

Holy crap, he really does have the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Uchiha Nan quickly and successfully defeated the second stage of the unfamiliar Uchiha girl!

How fierce!

The Uchiha girl, having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, launched a fierce attack on Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan immediately seized an opportunity to enter Sage Mode, unleashing Sage Art: Ice Release - Ice Age, which restricted the Uchiha girl's movement.

"Young lady, may we talk?"

The response from Uchiha Nan was black flames... which completely melted away Uchiha Nan's Ice Release technique. Then, the black flames formed a giant tornado and rushed towards Uchiha Nan.

I haven't even managed to get control over Amaterasu's flames to that level. Just who is this girl?

Uchiha Nan showed a surprised expression, then quickly dodged the attack. Everyone kept mocking that Amaterasu couldn't kill people, but Uchiha Nan, who was fleeing in all directions, thought it was all nonsense. He really couldn't withstand this level of Amaterasu fire tornado.

Uchiha Nan tried hard to recall the Naruto storyline. Shippuden didn't mention this either. Did he create an "what if" scenario?

No, think about it again. Boruto. Oh, I remember now.

It's Uchiha Tai-nai from Ultimate Storm 4!

"Uchiha Hikaru... Your name is Uchiha Hikaru, right?"

The moment Uchiha Nan called out her name, Uchiha Hikaru clearly reacted, but it was all for naught. A young girl in the prime of her life was sealed in a dark, narrow space for an unknown period of time.

What a huge emotional blow that must have been!

Do you think calling someone's name will bring them back to their senses?

Stop dreaming. Boruto Uzumaki had to build up his favorability first, and then he got beaten up. Only with the help of his family's inherited persuasive skills did he manage to get Hikaru Uchiha to stop.

It seems we still have to use the Uchiha's communication methods to solve the problem. Uchiha Nan will no longer hold back and will launch a full-scale attack!

Uchiha Nan adjusted his breathing and charged towards Uchiha Hikaru with all his might. Purple Susanoo armor appeared on his body. A real man fights in a Gundam!

Gundam's casual strike produced a deafening explosion, and Uchiha Hikaru, piloting his Gundam, was in no way inferior.

Girl, you're so strong, how were you sealed away back then?

Uchiha Nan was having a headache. Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo was covered with a layer of black flames, which could both defend and attack. As long as his Susanoo got a little close, the black flames would burn towards him.

This is really tricky!

Uchiha Tai-nai is terrifyingly powerful.

But this little girl won't last long.

The consumption of Susanoo is not something an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan can withstand. Although Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan is not ordinary, he has four dojutsu.

"Sage Art: Lava Release: Rasengan!"

Uchiha Nan's Susanoo condensed a giant orange-red shuriken in its hand and hurled it towards Uchiha Hikaru's Susanoo. Uchiha Hikaru dodged at lightning speed, but the huge explosion still affected him.

Rush!

Uchiha Nan was prepared to fight a war of attrition, so he decided to use ninjutsu to counter the waves, as his endurance was quite strong.

After a fierce battle, the surrounding terrain was completely destroyed. Magma flowed on the ground, and the remaining charred soil was everywhere. Pitholes dozens of meters wide were visible, leaving a scene of devastation for miles around.

Uchiha Nan - Win!

Uchiha Hikaru fought until he was exhausted, then lay on the ground, powerless, awaiting death.

Uchiha Hikaru, who had spent his entire life as a weapon, knew very well that defeat would mean certain death!

Uchiha Nan rubbed his eyes with heartache; there were still traces of blood at the corners of his eyes. He had overused his eyes.

As an Uchiha, you must take good care of your eyes; they're already starting to look blurry.

"Is it really necessary to work this hard?"

Uchiha Nan stood in front of the already fallen Uchiha Hikaru and stretched out his hand, gesturing for Uchiha Hikaru to grab it.

Seize the future as quickly as you can!

"Kill me."

However, Uchiha Hikaru seemed resigned to her fate, not even glancing at Uchiha Nan, her tone filled with a sense of relief.

"Why would I kill you? You were the one who started with such a dangerous Fire Release ninjutsu the moment you appeared!"

How could you kill Uchiha Tai-nai?

This is a kaleidoscope of combat power! We must turn back, we absolutely must turn back!

Uchiha Nan took out two bottles of medicine. This was a miraculous healing medicine that Uchiha Nan had asked Senju Tobirama to make. It contained a certain proportion of Hashirama cells, which could quickly restore injuries, chakra, and lost ocular power. Hashirama cells are truly omnipotent!

It's really expensive! This small bottle costs seven figures.

However, considering the need to win over Uchiha Hikaru.

Money should be spent wisely!

First, I'll drink a bottle for myself, then it'll be Uchiha Hikaru.

Uchiha Nan uncorked the cork and poured the green oral liquid into Uchiha Hikaru's mouth.

"It's mint flavored and a little sweet, isn't it delicious?"

Uchiha Nan specifically requested flavors, including mint and orange. Only those two flavors have been made so far. Uchiha Nan also wanted watermelon, but Senju Tobirama has already started criticizing Uchiha Nan's unreasonable demands. If Uchiha Nan hadn't been so willing to allocate funds, Senju Tobirama would absolutely, absolutely not have yielded to add flavors for her. Orange flavor is the last time!

But... Tobirama Senju's temper... well, maybe the watermelon flavor has already been made by now.

"It tastes good."

Uchiha Hikaru hasn't tasted sweetness in over a hundred years.

The excitement of escaping, the despair of defeat, the fear of the future—all these emotions overwhelmed my body. For some reason, it began to feel warm and comforting; the sugar in the recovery fluid was rapidly being broken down. The dopamine system in the midbrain was activated, stimulating the release of dopamine mixed with extremely complex emotions.

Gradually... a feeling that was hard to describe arose.

The fact that a little girl from the Uchiha clan, who desperately craves love, will have her affection level skyrocket when she receives even the slightest kindness could be considered a characteristic of the Uchiha clan.

However, on the other hand, this bottle of recovery fluid is worth seven figures. In the ninja world, giving any girl a gift worth seven figures would surely boost her favorability rating.

Xia Zhu doesn't like money, but every moment that touches her heart costs money!

If you want to be loved, you have to spend money. That's the truth!

Uchiha Nan noticed that Uchiha Hikaru's eyes were moist, but she was trying her best to hold them back; tears were about to fall.

It's safe, it's safe.

This is what the arrogant Uchiha Tai-chan is like!

So cute!

Uchiha Nan helped Uchiha Hikaru up from the ground and began formal negotiations.

"Many years have passed since the Warring States period. The Uchiha and Senju clans have reconciled, ending their thousand-year-old hatred, and together they founded a ninja village called Konoha. Your name is Uchiha Hikaru, right? Although I accidentally broke your seal, I have read your story in the clan's records."

"Would you be willing to come back to Konoha with me and start a new life?"

Uchiha Nan once again extended his hand, sincerely inviting Uchiha Tai to join Konoha's Mangekyou Sharingan. With four Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques, Uchiha Tai's version was simply too advanced; this version of Uchiha couldn't possibly compete with it.

Although Uchiha Hikaru did not awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the Uchiha clan of the Warring States period had somehow managed to tinker with him using some kind of advanced technology. Not only did he gain two Mangekyou Sharingan techniques, but his ocular power was also significantly greater than that of Uchiha Nan. In the previous battle, Uchiha Nan could clearly sense that Uchiha Hikaru still had plenty of ocular power, but his stamina and chakra were simply not enough to sustain such a devastating battle.

Men need to last. If Uchiha Nan hadn't upgraded his hardware and injected Hashirama cells, this battle would have been very difficult.

"I do!"

This time, Uchiha Hikaru reached out and grasped the future!

Uchiha Nan felt the soft warmth in his hand. This hand was so small and soft. But why did it hurt so much when it hit someone!

What an inherently evil Uchiha brat!

Uchiha Nan couldn't help but complain inwardly, momentarily forgetting to release Uchiha Hikaru's hand. A few seconds later, Uchiha Hikaru quickly withdrew his hand.

What an innocent girl!

Uchiha Nan no longer had the heart to search for the Box of Bliss, so he simply ended the trip. He decided to leave the broken box for the Grass Ninja to find slowly. After all, the Land of Grass had become Konoha's backyard, and as long as the Box of Bliss was still within the Land of Grass, they would find it sooner or later.

Uchiha Nan planned to return to Kusagakure first. Masa was coming in a few days. That guy Onoki still hadn't replied. Wasn't he tempted by such a lucrative business?

"No fight, no friendship." In the Uchiha clan, a fight is always a good way to build relationships. They admire martial arts and the strong. This is the Uchiha clan's culture, and Uchiha Hikaru is no exception.

On the journey back to Kusagakure, Uchiha Hikaru became very dependent on Uchiha Nan, and his originally gloomy personality gradually disappeared, with more and more smiles appearing on his face, revealing his true nature.

Yeah, that's just how they are—tsundere. That's the typical Uchiha type. But Uchiha Hikaru has been sealed away for at least a hundred years, so the dark side in his heart can't be erased overnight. It has to be done slowly.

"I haven't forgiven the Uchiha clan. I only went back to Konoha with you because..."

"This ninja world is not worth my time."

Uchiha Nan is also constantly trying to increase his favorability. The best way to deal with someone who is three parts arrogant and seven parts coquettish is to be direct.

"We're friends. I'm a current member of the Uchiha clan, don't you believe me?"

"Your hands are so small, and so much whiter than mine. I've heard that girls' hands are very soft. Can I hold them again?"

You smell so good! Your hands are so cold! You're so cute. Let's compare hand sizes.

Uchiha Hikaru reluctantly accepted a set of tricks.

"You really want to shake my hand? Since we're friends, I'll reluctantly oblige."

"You're holding me so tightly! I'm not blushing, you're so annoying!"

"."

Uchiha Hikaru broke free from Uchiha Nan's grasp and ran away, her face flushed.

The Land of Grass, New Grass Village

Masa arrived earlier than Uchiha Nan had anticipated. Uchiha Nan had originally thought that Masa would need some time to consider, but Uchiha Nan underestimated Masa's thirst for money. As soon as he received the invitation, he set off with his entourage.

The Grass Ninja's spirits have been completely renewed. Having Konoha as their financial backer makes all the difference; their food and drink are guaranteed, and their salaries and benefits have greatly improved.

Konoha United Fruit Company forcefully entered the Land of Grass, forcibly extinguishing the nascent industrial development that had been emerging in the Land of Grass, and forcing the workers inside the factories to lose their jobs.

Soon they were organized by the Konoha United Fruit Company and put back into their old trade—growing bananas. They were originally farmers without land, and unable to bear the exploitation by insects, they went to work in factories in the city. However, there were differences between factories.

The Konoha factory's operational model was based on Konoha's strong hard power, allowing it to exploit the entire Land of Fire for profit. In addition, Uchiha Nan was truly a philanthropist, ensuring that the factory's livestock were well-fed, so although life was tough, it was still manageable.

The nobles of the Land of Fire are truly admirable; they have fed Konoha to their hearts' content!

The factory owners in the Land of Grass are just a bunch of idiots. Working on an empty stomach is a common occurrence for them.

Now, the benevolent grace of Konoha has spread to the Land of Grass. By kicking aside the nobles of the Land of Grass, the Land of Grass now has a new leader!

Muye United Fruit Company signed contracts with laid-off workers, guaranteeing them a minimum income, enough to eat three meals a day. The workers were all honest farmers from the countryside. With such a strong employer, they quickly returned to their fields to grow bananas. The more they worked, the more they earned; whoever produced the most bananas would receive a bonus!

Anyway, there's no shortage of bananas to sell. Although the price will gradually decrease over time, as long as production increases and economies of scale are achieved, costs can be spread out. For a long time to come, everyone will make money. In any case, it's better than the days when we couldn't even get enough to eat.

If you can satisfy people's hunger, you are a qualified ruler. As for whether the benevolent rulers of the past or the Konoha Fruit Company are standing above you, the well-fed farmers don't care at all.

"What kind of ninjutsu did the Third Hokage of Konoha use? The Land of Grass wasn't like this before!"

Mosa sighed. A year ago, he had passed through the Grass Country. At that time, the farmers of the Grass Country were emaciated and numb, like walking corpses. Now they are still just as emaciated, but their eyes have a light in them, and they have hope for the future. Their mental state has undergone a tremendous change.
