Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 85 Tobirama, from now on you'll be called Zhang San.

"Mito, that's enough. Stop squeezing. The containers for storing chakra are all full."

"I think Nine-Tails is about to die."

"The Nine-Tails is Konoha's greatest treasure now. We need to understand the principle of sustainable use; we won't do something as unprofitable as draining the pond to catch all the fish."

The Nine-Tails has now been stripped of its original form; its once smooth and lustrous fur has become withered and dry, and even its once enormous body has shrunk considerably.

Uchiha Nan quickly stopped Uzumaki Mito, who was acting like a high-powered juicer. Chakra was of paramount importance to tailed beasts, and they couldn't afford to damage Kurama by extracting its true essence.

"That's not what you were saying just now. Who said that tailed beast chakra is free and that you should just extract it?"

"The lives of the Tailed Beasts are worthless; they can revive after death anyway, so the more chakra the better."

"The louder the Nine-Tails' roar, the more chakra it still has."

When Mito Uzumaki heard Uchiha Nan scold her for overreacting to the Nine-Tails' chakra extraction, she immediately repeated Uchiha Nan's outrageous remarks.

This despicable man, devoid of any moral compass, was so overjoyed when he saw his chakra containers filling up one after another that he was practically dancing with glee.

They're still putting on an act here!

Ha!

"When will I get my one million taels?"

Mito Uzumaki inwardly scorned Uchiha Nan and directly demanded her reward from him.

"Don't worry, Lord Mito, I'm very honest. The money goes through Konoha Electric Power Company's account, and I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

"Before that, I have another question I'd like to ask: when will the Nine-Tails' chakra be restored?"

Uchiha Nan was very concerned about this issue. Chakra is one of the mainstream energy sources in the future, and the more times the Nine-Tails can be recycled, the better. The container for storing chakra can also be expanded a little more.

"What a fucking beast!"

"You beast!"

"Uchiha Nan, I'm already like this, and you still want to drain me dry!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Kurama completely lost control of his emotions. Despite being so weak that he couldn't even stand up, he still yelled and cursed, accusing Uchiha Nan of his beastly behavior.

Even Mito Uzumaki felt a pang of pity at the pitiful cries and curses. The Nine-Tails, the leader of the nine tailed beasts, had fallen to such a state. Uchiha Nan had really gone too far.

They truly are born evil Uchiha!

But sorry, Nine-Tailed Fox, each draw costs one million taels!

"Based on my understanding of Kurama, its chakra will take about two months to fully recover automatically, at most three months. If it works hard to recover, it may only take less than two months."

Mito Uzumaki revealed the Nine-Tails' secrets to Nanami Uchiha without any hesitation.

For Tsunade's future, she had to earn as much money as possible. After waiting for so many years, she finally had such an easy way to make money, and she couldn't let it slip away.

"Lord Mito, for the sake of Konoha, you must urge Kurama to recover its health as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll take care of Nine-Tails' recovery!"

"Hahaha, Lord Mito is truly a pillar of Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Mito finalized the matter by speaking in unison.

"Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!"

"You can't wait until I'm asleep to do this kind of thing. You're secretly discussing it, and now you're even talking about how to drain me dry in front of me."

"Even Madara Uchiha wouldn't do something like this. You two are nothing but bandits, worse than bandits, and you still expect us tailed beasts to remember the good things we humans have done for you."

"You've messed it up, old man Rokudo! You've really messed up!"

"."

Kurama, seeing the two of them colluding in their evil deeds, cursed them again. At the same time, she couldn't help but think back to the days when she was Madara Uchiha's mount. Those days didn't seem so bad, at least they were better than now.

However, Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Mito ignored Kurama's accusations, happily reached an agreement, and then went home.

Mito Uzumaki returned home with light steps, and after a while, several ANBU ninjas delivered several leather suitcases full of money to her.

One million taels! Making money is so easy!

While marveling at how easily he made money, Mito Uzumaki asked Momoki Senju to gather information about the Konoha Power Plant.

If we replaced the tailed beast chakra with coal, how much would it cost per year?

Not long after, Mito Uzumaki received a detailed investigation report. Skipping over the irrelevant parts, he went straight to the part he was concerned about: the annual cost of coal consumed by the power plant.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred million?

Mito Uzumaki could hardly believe her eyes. This number was so different from her reward that it didn't make any sense at all!

Count again?

"One, ten, a hundred billion... Ugh... Aaaaaaah!!! Uchiha Nan, you really are a beast!!!!!"

In an instant, a shrill, cursing cry echoed throughout the entire Senju clan territory.

A few days later

Hokage's Office

"The ideological textbook is finally finished!"

Uchiha Nan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. On the table was a small red booklet. The ninja academy's enrollment was about to end, and he had been thinking about doing something practical for the development of the ninja academy.

Each Hokage has their own guiding ideology. Although they are all nominally under the name of the First Hokage's Will of Fire, their underlying meanings are different.

The first generation's ideology was to pursue peace and end the bloodshed and war of the Warring States period.

The Second Hokage's philosophy was stability. With the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju did his utmost to maintain stability, both in the face of the precarious situation in the ninja world and the restless Uchiha clan within the country.

Uchiha Nan also wanted to plant his own mental imprint on Konoha.

Changing the mindset of the ninjas of his time required him to use both authoritarian politics and incentives to reform them.

Teaching those young children is much easier; you just have to instill the right values ​​in them.

Materialist dialectics, the commercialization of ninjas, and class contradictions.

Uchiha Nan wanted to incorporate the essence of thought accumulated in the Rabbit Kingdom of his previous life into the Will of Fire of Konoha, but that was a massive undertaking, so he had to find helpers.

Because his ideas were too shocking and unsystematic, publishing them abruptly would inevitably result in them being ridiculed and taken down. Therefore, Uchiha Nan turned to his good ox, his good helper, Senju Tobirama.

Through his numerous nighttime debates with Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Nan continuously refined his theories, systematizing them and localizing them within the ninja world. In the future, these theories will undoubtedly guide Konoha's ninjas down a new path.

This monumental work, capable of changing the landscape of the ninja world, is so powerful that even if Uchiha Nan, the author, disregarded his other identities, it would be remembered for eternity.

Faced with this immense honor, Tobirama Senju craned his neck, wanting a piece of the pie, hoping to have his name added to the author's list.

Uchiha Nan argued forcefully, saying that he was now the Third Hokage of Konoha, and each generation had its own ideas. What was a dead Hokage doing here?

However, Tobirama Senju vehemently refuted Uchiha Nan, stating that he deserved half the credit for the creation of this book and that his name had to be added, otherwise he would go on strike!

Finally, Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama each compromised, with Tobirama agreeing to use an alias and be credited as an author alongside Uchiha Nan.

"Lu Yuan, this book will be the official textbook for the Will of Fire in Konoha. All students in the Ninja Academy must read it thoroughly. If they can memorize it, they can get extra points on the graduation exam."

"Every registered Konoha ninja must have a copy and memorize the highlighted sections within a month. I will be sending people to check later."

"At the same time, we'll distribute some to the villagers of Konoha for free, so we can all improve together."

Uchiha Nan instructed Nara Shikato to print tens of thousands of copies of his book and distribute them in Konoha. If the feedback was positive, he was to double the print run.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Nara Shika took the book and glanced at the cover. The four words "Will of Fire" in gold foil were particularly eye-catching, but why were there two authors?

"Uchiha Nan and Zhang Sanzhe"

Who is Zhang San?

Nara Shikamaru swore he had never heard of anyone named Zhang San in Konoha. The political significance of Uchiha Nan's book was obvious; it set the tone for future work in Konoha.

A name I'd never heard before appeared in this book, and it was all very strange. To make sure there were no problems with his work, Nara Shikahara decided to ask the Hokage who this Zhang San was.

"Lord Hokage, may I ask who Zhang San is?"

Tobirama Senju asked the same question.

"An outstanding citizen who is knowledgeable about legal loopholes, capable of escaping legal punishment even if he intentionally violates the law, yet still abides by the law!"

At that time, Uchiha Nan replied to Senju Tobirama in a very serious manner, but Senju Tobirama was skeptical of Uchiha Nan's nonsense. Could there really be such a good-natured person in this world?

Later, Tobirama felt the name was unpleasant and wanted to change it, but Uchiha Nan didn't give Tobirama a chance to object and directly made the decision, then slipped away from the underground laboratory.

"I see, Lord Hokage. Mr. Zhang San is truly remarkable."

Nara Shikagawa didn't believe Uchiha Nan's nonsense either, but he simply chose to obey Uchiha Nan, since his leader was right.

After explaining the printing of the new edition of Will of Fire, Uchiha Nan began to inquire about the movements of the other four major ninja villages. The First Shinobi World War had ended, but the post-war landscape was not yet settled.

Konoha is going to do big business in the future, and the most important thing in doing business is peace and stability. We must hold a Five Kage Summit to settle everything.

"Sunagakure remains unchanged. The Daimyo has cut back on funding, and the Kazekage has personally taken to the desert to work as a gold miner. As a result, Sunagakure has been forced to gradually reduce the number of ninjas, and ninja training is showing a trend towards becoming more elite."

"The mess left by the great battle in Kumogakure is no less than that of Konoha back then, the Third Raikage."

"After the death of Mu, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, a successor has been chosen: the Third Tsuchikage, named Onoki. He has mastered the Dust Release, the Kekkei Tota of the Second Tsuchikage, and was already the publicly known successor when the Second Tsuchikage was alive."

"But Kirigakure is in a bit of trouble. The Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, died suddenly, and his successor hasn't been decided yet. Kirigakure is currently embroiled in internal strife, with the Hozuki clan, the Kaguya clan, and even Mizuto, the former bodyguard of the First Mizukage, all vying for the position of the Third Mizukage."

Uchiha Nan thought for a moment and began to recall the content of the Naruto anime. The Third Mizukage seemed to be the squinty-eyed bodyguard next to the First Mizukage, Byakuren. So his name was Mizuto.

If it weren't for Nara Shikagawa's reminder, Uchiha Nan wouldn't have known the Third Mizukage's name.

Name unknown, personality unknown, ninjutsu unknown.

The Third Mizukage is an enigmatic figure in the Naruto anime, but what we do know from the anime is that the Blood Mist Era of Kirigakure began during his tenure.

During his rule, he stigmatized and demonized the Bloodstained Ninjas, and rejected them in his policies. Later, the Kaguya clan revolted and was wiped out, and the Minazuki clan either died or fled.

Obito Uchiha, a traitor who had turned to sycophancy and was now corrupted, took advantage of the situation to control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and continued to extend the Blood Mist policy to ordinary ninjas.

If it weren't for Mei Terumi's sudden appearance and her ability to reunite the ninja within Kirigakure, Kirigakure might have been wiped out by Obito.

Kirigakure is truly tragic; they've run into a carbon copy of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, this should be considered good news for Konoha. After all, it's not the god-like opponents that are scary, but the pig-like teammates. Let the Third Mizukage persecute his own bloodline ninjas, and find an opportunity to bring them all to Konoha later!

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly, Uchiha Nan heard a familiar system voice in his ear. Was this a side quest being triggered and a new mission being issued?

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

Reward: Sixty chances to win a prize!

Donuts are so delicious: cream puffs, desserts, cola, milk tea. High sugar is true love, starting a trend of high sugar foods in the ninja world.

Reward: Twenty chances to win a prize

[The Voice of the Ninja World: Singing empowers people, creating ten songs that have become hits throughout the ninja world.]

Reward: Twenty chances to win a prize!

Three new missions were refreshed at once. Uchiha Nan glanced through the mission requirements and rewards. The requirements were high, but there were quite a few chances to get rewards. However, it was too much of a matter of luck.

It's useless to take it, but a pity to throw it away!

What bad luck! Chiba Nan shook his head, putting the mission aside, and continued listening to Nara Shikato's report.

"Based on intelligence from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village)."

"It will probably take at least another month for Kirigakure to elect a new Third Mizukage; the Five Kage Summit is coming."

"."

Uchiha Nan nodded after listening to Nara Shikamaru's report. It seemed that the Five Kage Summit would have to be postponed for a while.

"Send invitations to Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure first. As for Kirigakure, let's leave it for now and see when they elect their Mizukage."

Nara Shikawon nodded, then prepared to go out to do the things Uchiha Nan had asked him to do, but turned back halfway to the door.

"Lord Hokage, the ninja academy's enrollment is almost over, aren't you going to take a trip?"

"According to custom, the Hokage is required to attend the school's admissions process in person."

Uchiha Nan was stunned; he had almost forgotten about this matter, as he had been busy with the Konoha power plant project recently.

The Ninja Academy is a breeding ground exclusively for the Hokage to cultivate his trusted confidants. Tobirama Senju would personally attend the recruitment process for a few days each year to demonstrate his importance as Hokage to the matter.

"Let's go take a look!"

Uchiha Nan felt that slacking off in the office was really boring, so he thought it would be good to go to the Ninja Academy for a visit.

Konoha Ninja Academy

Even though enrollment was almost over, the admissions office was still packed with people. Becoming a ninja meant possessing power, and people knew all too well what power meant in a chaotic world.

"It's really lively."

When Uchiha Nan arrived at the admissions office, his Hokage robes instantly ignited the atmosphere, and amidst cheers, the crowd automatically made way for him.

"Lu Yuan, are there any promising students among the students you recruited this year?"

"Let's leave aside the ninja clans. I'd like to know if there are any promising talents among the common people."

Nara Shika, who had come with Uchiha Nan, named several talented civilian children from the Ninja Academy who were born with more chakra than the average ninja child.

Uchiha Nan was listening when his attention was drawn to a conspicuous figure.

Wearing a dark green training uniform, with a watermelon-shaped hairstyle resembling a pot lid, and thick eyebrows.

Mighty?

No, this guy should be called Matt Day now!

"Please, let me try one more time."

"I may not have the talent for ninjutsu, but I can become an excellent ninja through taijutsu."

"The passion of youth!"

"Kid, I remember you already registered last year, right? I even made an exception and let you take the test again, so stop making trouble here!"

The teacher in charge of admissions was already impatient; if it weren't for the Hokage watching from the side, he would have lost his temper and kicked them out.

"Lord Hokage."

"I'll take that little guy away right now."

Nara Shika was a little nervous, realizing he hadn't done his job properly; Uchiha Nan had arrived just in time to witness this scene.

"Don't!"

"Let him pass!"

"Give him enough training resources, and he will become an unprecedentedly powerful ninja in the future, the kind who could kill Hashirama Senju with a single kick!"

Uchiha Nan stopped Nara Shikamaru. Others might not know Might Guy's future, but how could he not?

The user of the Eight Gates technique kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a pile of hapless mishaps with just a few kicks, and his son Might Guy almost kicked the final chapter of the story!

"What?!"

"Kick Shodaime-sama to death?"

"Lord Hokage."

Nara Shikamaru was somewhat helpless. He knew that his Hokage sometimes liked to talk nonsense, but this time his words were too outrageous.
