Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 162 Uchiha Nan, you damned bastard, you were planning to attack Tsunade!

"Tobirama, those of us with the Sharingan are invincible to you!"

"Hahaha!!"

After winning more than 20 consecutive games, Uchiha Nan felt it wasn't very interesting, so he let Uchiha Hikaru play against Senju Tobirama.

Uchiha Hikaru is no longer the rookie he used to be. After years of intense training and late-night sessions, coupled with the overpowered boost from his Sharingan, he still maintains a winning streak against Tobirama Senju.

However, he's not as skilled at unleashing combos as Uchiha Nan, and he still gets some health drained by Senju Tobirama.

But a win is a win!

After Tobirama Senju lost more than twenty games in a row, Uchiha Nan could no longer hold back his laughter and arrogantly declared his victory to Tobirama Senju.

"One more round!!"

Senju Tobirama was devastated by the loss, but he was still determined to have another match with Uchiha Hikaru.

Damn it!

Two inherently evil Uchiha brats!

He even used the three-tomoe Sharingan while playing a game!

They have absolutely no shame!

"Hmph, forget it, Tobirama, you're just too weak. Even if we played a hundred more rounds, you still wouldn't be a match for us."

"I'm done playing, I'm going back to sleep. I need to focus more on this arcade game lately and figure it out quickly; I'm eager to make money from it!"

After saying that, Uchiha Nan turned and left. Uchiha Hikari glanced at the arcade machine with lingering reluctance; she wanted to play a little longer!

Hard work pays off, and honing skills is all about showing off; that's just the nature of the Uchiha clan.

It's so satisfying to dominate newbies!

Especially when you're fighting the Senju clan, the thrill is doubled!

Uchiha Hikaru finally found a sense of accomplishment today with this Senju clansman named "Senju Tobirama".

Arcade game or Uchiha Nan?

Hikaru Uchiha immediately chose Nana Uchiha and left the laboratory with her.

"return!!"

"Two bastards!!"

"You think you can just run away after winning? You two just wait!!"

Senju Tobirama, indignant, wanted to stop Uchiha Nan and Uchiha Hikaru. He had to win a game today, otherwise he felt like ants were crawling all over him!

However, Uchiha Nan ignored Senju Tobirama and left the laboratory directly.

夜晚

The Uchiha clan's territory was not dark; there were streetlights illuminating the area at regular intervals.

"Let's go, Uchiha Hikaru, I'll take you home."

Uchiha Nan planned to send Uchiha Hikaru home first. The Uchiha clan had already prepared a luxurious villa for Uchiha Hikaru in the clan's territory during the day.

"Um"

Uchiha Hikaru spoke in a barely audible voice, wanting to step forward and take Uchiha Nan's hand.

In the past, in the land of grass

When Uchiha Nan was trying to increase Uchiha Hikaru's affection level, he would often take Uchiha Hikaru's hand at night and go to see the moon together.

Let's go!

Uchiha Nan, as was his habit, took Uchiha Hikaru's hand and walked towards Uchiha Hikaru's residence.

"Um!"

Uchiha Hikaru followed Uchiha Nan with a smile on his face.

After escorting Uchiha Hikaru home, Uchiha Nan took out several oranges that he had prepared, slowly and methodically peeled them, and finished eating all the oranges by the time he reached his front door.

Rubbing orange peel on your body will leave you smelling of fresh oranges, which can mask any other odor. (A tip for jerks)

In any case, Uchiha Nan is a married man, so he must do a good job of concealing his family situation!

The main reason for pursuing Uchiha Hikaru is probably because they're attracted to his fighting prowess. As for his physical appearance, that's a minor point.

If you can juggle multiple relationships without being discovered, your image will always be flawless. If discovered, it's because you're naturally beautiful and irresistible, too outstanding, and there will always be bad women who covet you, and you happen to have a loving heart.

"I'm back!!"

Uchiha Nan pushed open the door. The lights in the house were still on. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tonight, it'll be another one against two!

next day

Uchiha Nan arrived at the Hokage Building in high spirits to clock in for work. The documents on his desk were already piled up like a small mountain. These were all documents that needed the Hokage's signature. No matter how much Uchiha Nan delegated power, there were still too many things that the Hokage needed to handle. He had to make up for the many days of work that had been delayed.

office

"Hokage-sama, I've brought Sakumo Hatake to report for duty!"

Kakuzu pushed open the door, with a lifeless Sakumo Hatake beside him.

"Sakumo Hatake, are you sure you want to take this mission?"

"The mission is extremely dangerous. The last futures trading plan was in the Land of Fire, but this time you'll be going deep into the Land of Lightning and making contact with the Hidden Cloud Village. It's about spreading the Ponzi scheme that Konoha is using."

"Konoha can't protect you this time!"

Uchiha Nan kindly inquired about Hatake Sakumo's situation, telling him to speak up if he had been forced, and that was the end of it.

Uchiha Nan also felt that Hatake Sakumo was the best choice; at worst, he would never leave Konoha Village again after this mission.

Anyway, the two beheading deals that Hatake Sakumo made were enough to allow him to live comfortably at home for the rest of his life.

Hatake Sakumo wished he could shake his head immediately and leave Uchiha Kusunoki's office as soon as possible. Whoever wants to do this kind of task can do it!

But Kakuzu placed one hand on Sakumo Hatake's shoulder.

"It's alright, Hokage. Hatake Sakumo is willing to go through fire and water for Konoha, even at the cost of his life!"

"Your speech in the futures trading hall was so passionate and persuasive that even I was fooled. Who in Konoha is more suitable than you to carry out this mission?"

"Aren't you right, Little White Hair?"

Kakuzu brought up old grievances, revealing that his billion yen had been completely wiped out by that bastard Sakumo Hatake—money he had painstakingly saved up over half a lifetime.

Sakumo Hatake turned his stiff head away, and Kakuzu's beady eyes were gleaming with an eerie light. Clearly, he was determined to send Sakumo Hatake to the Land of Lightning on a mission this time.

"Hokage-sama, I agree. However, I believe that my strength alone is insufficient; I must have Lord Kakuzu accompany me on this mission to the Land of Lightning!"

Sakumo Hatake decided to drag someone down with him, planning to take Kakuzu with him to the Land of Lightning for a mission. Kakuzu, as the person in charge of the mission, took the lead and went to the most dangerous Land of Lightning.

That makes perfect sense!

"Lord Hokage, I'm fine!"

Kakuzu didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed to Hatake Sakumo's request. He had originally planned to go to the Land of Lightning to carry out this mission himself.

This involves a fortune in the hundreds of billions, and the share that Uchiha Nan promised to Kakuzu was enough to make Kakuzu risk his life.

As long as the money is right, there's no corner that no one would dare to do.

"Very good, with your hard work, Konoha will definitely..."

"Kakuzu, I'll have Nara Shikagawa assist you with the preliminary preparations over the next few days. Then you and Hatake Sakumo can pack your bags and head to the Land of Lightning to complete this mission!"

Kakuzu nodded in satisfaction, then dragged the lifeless Hatake Sakumo away from Uchiha Kusunoki's office.

"This is really tiring."

After seeing off the strange duo of Kakuzu and Sakumo Hatake, Uchiha Nan put down the documents in his hand and, as usual, slipped out of the office to take a look around the Hokage Building. The Hokage can slack off, but his subordinates absolutely cannot.

If the working class can slack off, how can the bosses slack off so easily?

Fortunately, every employee is working hard. The thick stack of documents on their desks and the thermos cups full of goji berries are solid evidence!

Besides Senju Momoma, he was also daringly slacking off!

"Momoma Senju, I feel your work attitude hasn't been proper lately. Don't you want to improve?"

Uchiha Nan called Senju Momoka to his office, intending to give him a little more intense training.

"progress?"

Senju Momoka shook her head. If she progressed any further, she would become Hokage. Uchiha Nan, you just think I'm getting paid for nothing and you're jealous of my comfortable life!

Senju Momoma has completely given up, and with Uzumaki Mito's guidance, he has gained a slight understanding of the sore spot of Uchiha Nan, that scumbag Hokage.

As expected of my mother, she is just as I thought!

"Konoha has the Hokage, that's enough!"

"Do I still need to improve?"

Senju Momoma looked like a salted fish on a platter.

"I think you need to. I hereby officially appoint you as the first director of Konoha Television!"

"Konoha TV?"

Momoka Senju was stunned. Where did Konoha TV come from?

Uchiha Nan quickly resolved Senju Momoma's doubts, and then pulled out a stack of plans that had been prepared in advance.

The series of tasks centered around television, encompassing entertainment, culture, education, and more, aim to increase Konoha's voice and influence throughout the ninja world and seize the high ground in public opinion.

Incredible

Senju Momoma flipped through Uchiha Kusunoki's plan, clearly shocked by the journalistic techniques used in it.

Studying journalism is great!

Inciting villagers' emotions, using biased reporting, selectively reporting news, manipulating public opinion, distorting the truth, and framing others.

What exactly is Uchiha Nan trying to do?

Does he want to control the discourse of the entire ninja world?

"Momoma Senju, I need you to make Konoha's first television station bigger and stronger. Use this opportunity to sell television sets to the entire ninja world. The emerging media of the future will be a powerful weapon for Konoha."

Konoha must dominate this race.

In some situations, public opinion can be more effective than force.

Senju Momoma nodded mechanically, subconsciously swallowing her saliva.

Times are changing!

In the future, Konoha's influence will permeate the entire ninja world. If war breaks out, the form of war in the future will definitely not be like it is now—ninjas receive battle orders, go to the front lines, and begin a difficult war of attrition, using kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu to kill each other, their lives withering away as both sides exhaust themselves, enduring until one side can no longer hold on.

Someday in the future.

While the ninjas on the front lines are fighting desperately, the higher-ups back home are being exposed to shocking information. The situation is dire at the front, and the situation is dire at the rear. Or perhaps, while the front lines are still embroiled in conflict, the situation back home is exposed by misinformation. Even the ninjas may lose their ability to make sound judgments due to false information, not to mention the villagers back home.

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

As the head of the Senju clan and a former Hokage candidate, Momoka Senju keenly foresaw the immense profits this new path would generate, enough to make the Senju clan extremely wealthy.

Although he didn't know why Uchiha Nan would entrust him with such an important task, the benefits that came knocking on his door...

Don't be in vain!

Uchiha Nan smiled as he looked at Senju Momoma's expression.

Hurry up and get to work, diligently watering, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, and catching insects for "this seed."

When the fruit grows, I will come and eat it myself.

It's not good for the Senju clan to remain idle like this.

Every ninja clan in Konoha benefits from the shade of the village, with the Uchiha occupying the best niche, while the other clans share the remaining portion.

The Nara clan, represented by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, and the Hatake clan, were all given corresponding authority by Uchiha Kusunoki in various departments of Konoha.

Of course, aside from the Senju clan, Uchiha Nan had always consciously marginalized them, simply giving them a pile of cold, hard cash on time. This was partly due to dealing with former political enemies, and partly due to some strange psychology inherent in the Uchiha clan.

The Senju clan needs to be sidelined for a while!

But now it's about time. Momoma Senju has already yielded to the Uchiha clan and signed a bunch of unequal treaties. It's time to let the Senju clan return to the power arena in Konoha.

"Konoha's first television station must make a name for itself."

Different programs can be broadcast at different times. For example, the most important ninja world news can be shown, and the most popular movies can be shown during the prime time slot of 8 pm.

"Make a special program to expose the gossip of those big stars in the entertainment industry. You can also selectively report on the scum of the nobles. Just remember to inform the Daimyo. Konoha can also squeeze some money out of those insects through this program."

"We could also hire a professional screenwriter... well, I'm an excellent screenwriter myself. Konoha's film and television company is already the best entertainment company in the ninja world; we can start by making a few TV dramas to boost ratings!"

"."

In his previous life, the Rabbit Kingdom had countless ways to boost television ratings. Uchiha Nan casually gave Senju Momoka a few examples, which were certainly enough for this ninja world where entertainment was scarce.

Senju Momoma nodded as he scribbled on a blank sheet of paper.

"By the way, there are less than three months left until the end of the year. Try your best to get the TV station's framework set up in these three months. I plan to have a show at the end of this year. If the response is good, then we'll do it every year."

"The name is 'Dumpling Making'... no, it's 'Village Evening'!"

"Village Gala?"

"It's about bringing in a group of people from the ninja world to perform on stage. It's mainly a humorous stage play, a two-person comedy routine, a skit—basically, there have to be programs that can make people laugh out loud."

"At the end of the year, I just want to make the villagers of Konoha happy for one night."

Senju Momoma nodded and chatted with Uchiha Nan in the office for a long time, until noon.

"Want to grab lunch together?"

"No need, my family made me a bento box, Tsunade will bring it over to me in a bit."

"Oh"

Uchiha Nan looked at Senju Momoma, who was beaming with happiness, and felt a little annoyed. It was just a bento box; Kaede and Rin would make it for me too. It's just that they probably weren't awake yet at this hour.

Uchiha Nan, empowered by Hashirama cells, is simply too strong!

Having gotten what he wanted from Uchiha Nan, Senju Momoma walked out of the office with a smile on his face.

As soon as Uchiha Nan stepped out of his office, he saw a head of bright blonde hair.

It's... Tsunade!

When Senju Momoma saw his adorable daughter, he couldn't help but open his arms, ready to give Tsunade a big hug. Then Tsunade ran past Senju Momoma and headed straight for Uchiha Nan.

"Hokage-sama!!"

"Why have you been gone for so long? You promised to cultivate with me!"

Senju Momoma was frozen in shock.

"As the Hokage, I'm very busy. If you want me to train with you... well, I should have some time recently. How about our usual spot?"

"Yay!!"

Uchiha Nan patted Tsunade's hair; the head pat was really effective.

"stop!!!"

Senju Momoma roared, seemingly understanding why Uchiha Nan had signed that damned agreement with the Senju clan!

Why do graduate students have to take final exams right after finishing their courses? I have another exam tomorrow, so updates will be irregular. Please forgive me, dear readers.
