Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 91 If you can't awaken the Rinnegan, then watch a movie to relax!

These past few days, Uchiha Nan and the two assistant directors have been arguing incessantly about which scenes in the movie should be kept and which should be cut.

The assistant director hired by Uchiha Nan was very serious and responsible. As expected of a director who had made high-grossing films in the Land of Fire, he had unique insights into film and did not give Uchiha Nan, a new director, any face. When it came to arguing and confronting people, he was not merciful at all.

After several days of back-and-forth discussions, Konoha's first published film, Uchiha Nan's directorial debut, "Saving Genin Obito," was finally fully edited and sent to the Land of Fire for review.

Some troublemakers always take advantage of the opportunity to make movies to subtly satirize important figures in the country. The censorship process is essential, and some sensitive scenes must be deleted, otherwise the film will not be released.

Of course, Uchiha Nan was an exception, as his application was approved at lightning speed.

Despite some sensitive ideological leanings in the film, the censors were quick to dismiss it, remembering the bloody massacres Konoha had recently committed in the Land of Fire over pig iron futures.

Recently, Konoha and the bigwigs have been rivals in the iron ore trade. As a result, Konoha ninjas have been frequently visiting the residences of these bigwigs, bringing them fruit baskets.

Do you think they wouldn't know if those important figures are sick or not?

Considering their own safety—these small people would be judged as suicide if they were stabbed a dozen times in the back—the reviewers decisively ignored any personal biases and approved the application directly.

The movie was the talk of the town in the ninja world from the start of filming to its completion.

Directed by the Hokage of the strongest ninja village in the ninja world

The first war film told from a ninja's perspective.

Based on the First Shinobi World War

Shock, technological innovation, color film

Various trending topics were associated with this movie, and as soon as the release date was confirmed, pre-sale tickets were sold out.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Naruto"

"."

Uchiha Nan had only one task for today: to take the higher-ups of Konoha to see a movie.

They naturally funded the film themselves, wanting to contribute to the box office of Uchiha Nan's debut film.

The higher-ups in Konoha were all familiar with movies. They often had moments of loneliness they couldn't shake, and certain skills and techniques they needed to learn, including sneaking out of their homes late at night to watch adult films. For men, this kind of thing was unavoidable.

Uchiha Nan's movie has become a hot topic in the ninja world. Considering that the current Hokage of Konoha never plays by the rules, the entire Konoha ninja is very interested in the movie he personally directed.

"Color film."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

The film's opening sequence, with its vibrant color visuals, immediately whetted the appetites of moviegoers—it was a revolutionary new technology!

The ninja world has long suffered from black and white films. If even masturbation can't be fully enjoyed, what hope is there in life? Directors who specialize in making erotic films have their eyes light up. Their industry is probably about to usher in a new spring.

Uchiha Nan had anticipated this; if he couldn't make money from making adult films himself, he would impose a technology tax, charging high patent fees on adult films produced in the erotic industry.

The technology for color cinema is in our own hands; we won't use it unless we're paid!

Of course, once the technology spreads, piracy is inevitable, and small workshops will always have a chance to bypass Uchiha Nan's technology fees.

But every industry has its factions; just target the big directors and publishers of pornographic films in each country.

Konoha's intelligence department is not to be trifled with; they had already thoroughly investigated these people's backgrounds and found that without exception, they were all involved in organized crime and terrorism. But as the leader of the number one terrorist organization in the ninja world, why would Uchiha Nan be afraid of them?

In the future, the patent fees will probably be in the billions a year, and this number will definitely increase year by year. It is a certainty that it will grow to tens or hundreds of billions in the future.

As everyone knows, there are only two driving forces for humans: lust and food. If you don't want lust, it just means you're not full.

This is another huge sum of money!

The movie quickly got to the point.

War films are themed around war. The main characters go to the battlefield and face wave after wave of battles. The visceral physical combat and the dazzling ninja duels are eye-opening for the audience.

The number of ninjas is relatively small compared to the entire Naruto world, and wars between ninjas only exist in the imagination of ordinary people.

Even ninjas from small ninja villages in the ninja world exclaimed how exciting the ninjutsu battles in the story were, since these were all ninjutsu performed by veterans of Konoha who had come from the war.

To ensure a high level of entertainment value, Uchiha Nan even sent out several Jonin for a spectacular battle.

The spectacular fight was met with cheers, and the sparks that erupted from the clash of ninjutsu were extremely eye-catching, a kind of ultimate beauty.

But all of this came at a price. The aftermath of the battle was one of utter devastation, with corpses lying on the ground and dozens of lives lost in this unknown part of the ninja world.

The ninjas, having experienced all of this, wore solemn expressions, a stark contrast to the jubilation of ordinary people. The underlying tone of war was one of suffering.

The story continues, and we arrive at a point where Uchiha Nan has smuggled in his own agenda.

"Those Cloud Village ninjas are truly despicable!"

"They don't even spare children!"

"It's still our Konoha."

The audience was indignant. Although the ninjas were disgusted by the Cloud Village's actions and only cursed them verbally, when the choice was actually in their hands, most of them would make the same choice as the Cloud Village.

When carrying out infiltration missions, one faces a war where lives can be lost at any moment, and any mistake could lead to the complete annihilation of the team.

What do the lives of a few lowly people matter!

However, the civilians' reactions were truly heartfelt. The fact that ninjas could kill civilians at will was already quite common in the entire ninja world.

Many civilians have witnessed ninjas killing defenseless ordinary people at will for missions, for food, or even just for fun.

"The ninjas of Konoha are truly kind and righteous."

"From now on, I'll have to do business in places like Konoha."

Similar remarks appeared simultaneously across the ninja world.

The plot continues, reaching the climax of the film.

Are we really going to abandon our comrades, with whom we've shared life and death, just to carry out this mission?

In the story, Orochimaru and Jiraiya fall into a rift. Orochimaru, who always wants to complete his mission, chooses to follow the ninja code and prioritize the mission above all else.

And Jiraiya uttered that famous line.

"Those who break rules and regulations are called trash, but those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash!"

This line instantly ignited the audience's excitement, and the strong sense of personal heroism made everyone identify with Jiraiya's character.

The choice between becoming a hero to save your comrades or becoming a tool to carry out a mission is all too easy.

The ninjas all skillfully assumed the role of Jiraiya, even though he violated the ninja code.

Of course, some people were still unhappy, such as some famous figures, who sensed a hint of danger in this plot.

This is completely contrary to their consistent advocacy of the ninja tool theory, and is definitely heresy!

Sanctions!

The movie has been taken down!

However, the thought that this was a movie personally directed by the Hokage of Konoha made them behave like quails.

Even the daimyo of the Land of Fire could only remain silent.

The story quickly came to an end, with the remaining two-person team successfully completing their mission, securing victory in the war, and Konoha's elite army returning in triumph.

The joy of victory in the war did not last long, as a sad background music began to play.

The screen turned blood red, revealing a dense mass of corpses. The image zoomed in to become rows of memorial monuments, where ninjas, responsible for tallying the casualties, numbly memorized each death and skillfully wrote a letter to the families of the deceased.

A sense of sadness permeated the air; whether ninja or ordinary people, the memories of war were painful.

Humans are such strange creatures. They can utter the most vicious curses against ninjas in ordinary times, but when they actually see the mountains of ninja corpses, ordinary people will feel pity from the bottom of their hearts.

Even a ninja's life matters!

If given a choice, who would want to be an executioner?

"I heard that ninjas are sent to the battlefield even when they're just kids. My child is still worrying about not having enough allowance."

"Ninjas are truly pitiful, used as killing tools, forced to serve those daimyo!"

Constantly carrying out missions and then dying—this seems to be the fate of ninjas, destined to be used as tools for their entire lives.

Perhaps the ninja code isn't a set of rules that must be followed; in the story, the Hokage personally awarded Jiraiya the Konoha Hero Award.

The director of this movie is none other than Naruto!

The leader of the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world personally challenged the ninja tool theory, arguing that ninjas are not expendable materials used to execute tools!

Especially the ninjas of Konoha, after Uchiha Kusanagi took over, the compensation they received was the highest in the entire ninja world, unlike other unscrupulous ninja villages that dared to deduct the money earned by ninjas who risked their lives, and even those who were injured or disabled still had to accept missions assigned by the village.

The movie ended.

Uchiha Nan led the group out of the movie theater. Those who came with Uchiha Nan were all high-ranking officials from Konoha, and the more astute ones had already made connections to Uchiha Nan's actions since taking power.

The Hokage seems to be trying a new path.

Hidden Rock Village

Onoki, who had just become the Third Tsuchikage, came to the movie theater in Iwagakure. The Third Hokage of Konoha personally wrote a letter to Onoki, hoping that he would go to see a movie.

The Hokage, a figure of great stature, has actually gone into the world of movies?

Ohnoki walked into the movie theater with questions in his mind and watched the entire movie.

"They have malicious intentions."

"Now the whole world knows that Konoha is a good person!"

"So you're quietly plundering the ninja village's wealth, huh!"

"Is Konoha that rich?"

"If the ninjas don't follow suit and don't diligently complete the nobles' tasks, how will the ninja village get funding from the daimyo!"

Onoki frowned, unable to understand what the current Hokage of Konoha was thinking.

It's understandable to promote a positive image of Konoha; if I were to make a movie, I would definitely promote a positive image of Iwagakure as well.

To challenge the fundamental logic of the ninja world, which posits that ninjas are tools, is like lighting a lamp in a toilet—a death wish.

After a major battle, the ninja village was severely weakened. At this point, they were dancing on the daimyo's bottom line. Did they even want the daimyo's funds to recover?

I don't understand.

After pondering for a long time, Onoki still couldn't understand the confidence behind Uchiha Nan's actions.

"You beast!"

"The Hokage of Konoha is a complete beast!"

"This is such a smear campaign against Kumogakure!"

"They only killed their Second Hokage. They only lost one Hokage, but Kumogakure lost the hearts and minds of the entire ninja world!"

"His intentions are despicable!"

The Third Raikage, A, slammed his fist on the table, raging. If the village weren't so desperate to fight, he would definitely have had a serious talk with Konoha about this.

This is blatant slander!

"Go, gather the men, let's make a movie to retaliate!"

"Lord Raikage, we don't have a script."

"Idiot, can't you even plagiarize?"

"Let's remake this movie!"

"Lord Kazekage, the movie directed by the Third Hokage was released today."

Mosa (the Third Kazekage is another nameless character, I made one up myself) patted the sand off his body, sweating profusely as he manipulated Magnet Release to pan for gold in the desert.

"See a movie?"

Do you think I have the time for that?

Mosa rolled her eyes at her subordinate beside her. He really had no sense of propriety at all, not even realizing that she was busy working to support her family.

The entire economy of Sunagakure rests on my shoulders!

Instead of watching a movie, why not spend more time digging for gold dust? That way, the village can buy more food.

The village is so poor, and you still want to go to the movies? Looks like you've been eating too much; you need to go hungry for a few days.

This damn environment, with sandstorms everywhere, how come Konoha is so lucky to live on the most fertile land in the ninja world, and now they're even starting to enrich their spiritual lives!

Hidden Mist Village

"The Third Hokage was quite an interesting person."

"There will definitely be more and more movies like this in the future. Compared to physical attacks, psychological attacks are the most terrifying."

Just as Mizuto was thinking about how to deal with this situation, there was another knocking sound at the door.

"Lord Mizuto, regarding the outstanding compensation for the Hozuki clan..."

"And the Minazuki clan."

"I am from the Kaguya clan."

Ever since Mizuto became the Third Mizukage, his Bloodstained Ninja Clan subordinates have been finding ways to oppose him, and they've all been obsessed with money.

Don't you know that Kirigakure is also short of money right now?

The daimyo of the Land of Water is a real cheapskate!

Sooner or later, I'll wipe out your entire Bloodstained Ninja Clan!

Shuidou did a somersault and jumped out of the window. If you're broke, you're broke. If you can't afford to mess with them, you can at least avoid them.

He also needed to save some money to train ninjas to fight against the Bloodstained Ninja Clan within the village.

A cave in the ninja world

An old man emerged from the cave, his hair mostly white. In his quest to open the legendary eyes, he felt his life force being frantically drained by them, yet even so, he had not met the conditions for opening them.

"The sunlight is so blinding!"

"Go out for a walk to clear your head. The legendary eyes can't be opened in a short time."

"I wonder how the ninja world is doing now. It's probably in complete chaos again."

"Directed personally by the Third Hokage?"

"Movie?"

I haven't abandoned this story. I first published it on Qidian. QQ Reading isn't my main site, so updates here are delayed by several days. Qidian has always been updating normally, so you can follow my updates here.
