Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle
Chapter 177 Division, Reactions from All Sides
On the rooftop of the Konoha Hokage Building, the morning breeze carried the fresh scent unique to the Konoha forest.
The rooftop has a nice, spacious environment, and you can see the Hokage Rock and overlook the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Therefore, Uchiha Yao's first Jonin meeting to establish Konoha's order was held here.
Two figures stood side by side beside the railing at the edge of the rooftop, becoming the most eye-catching focus of this special Jonin meeting.
Kushina Uzumaki, dressed in the Barrier Department's uniform crimson outfit, with intricate barrier runes embroidered at the collar, her long, vibrant red hair tied high in a neat ponytail, the headband reflecting dappled light. She crossed her arms, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing her cuffs, her signature blue eyes scrutinizing the assembled clan representatives, a subtle pressure emanating from her—as the new Barrier Department head, her very presence was a powerful endorsement of Konoha's defense system. Beside her, Mikoto Uchiha presented a different picture. Her black police uniform accentuated her tall figure, the silver badge on her collar gleaming in the sunlight. Her long, dark hair was loosely pulled back, revealing her slender neck, her crimson Sharingan slowly rotating, taking in every subtle expression. A perfectly measured, gentle smile played on her lips, yet her eyes betrayed a sharpness and composure.
"Gentlemen," the elder presiding over the meeting cleared his throat, the scroll in his hand unfurling on the stone table with a soft rustling sound, "After the Nine-Tails incident, many clan territories within the village were severely damaged. After discussion by the Hokage's direct command center, we hereby announce the zoning adjustment plan." His voice, amplified by chakra, clearly resonated throughout every corner of the rooftop.
Upon hearing this, Kushina's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but she quickly regained her composure, only tightening her arms slightly as her gaze fell upon the characters on the scroll indicating the clan's territory. Mikoto, on the other hand, nodded slightly, her fingertips lightly tapping the stone table with a steady rhythm, exuding a confident and composed air.
"The Aburame clan, Kurama clan, Hyuga branch family, and others will relocate to the former Mitomon, Utatane, and Shimura clan territories." As the elder read out the first part of the resolution, a few low murmurs arose on the rooftop. Aburame Shiguro stood among the clan representatives, still wearing his high-necked robe and sunglasses that concealed his face. He merely tilted his head slightly, the parasitic insect on his shoulder emitting a barely audible buzzing. He made no extra movements, clearly having no objection to the arrangement. The Kurama clan representative lightly smoothed his sleeves, his expression calm, seemingly having anticipated this outcome. The Hyuga branch family ninjas exchanged glances, their expressions complex, but at the signal from the main clan representative, they ultimately lowered their heads, accepting this adjustment.
"The Sarutobi, Mitomon, Utatane, and Shimura clans relocated to the former Uchiha clan territory after their original buildings were severely damaged by the Nine-Tails' attack."
These words, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up even greater ripples. The elder of the Shimura clan took a sudden step forward, his hunched body trembling slightly, his white beard swaying with his rapid breathing: "This...this is unreasonable! My Shimura clan has long since severed ties with that rebellious son Danzo, why should we suffer such a hardship of migration?" His voice was choked with sobs, his hands clasped together, his gaze urgently sweeping over the high-ranking members present, trying to seek sympathy and support.
Just then, a clear voice rang out: "Elder, you are mistaken." Sarutobi Asuma stepped out from the Sarutobi clan's ranks, dressed in a green outfit, the iron fan on his back swaying gently with his steps. A frank smile graced his face. "The Nine-Tails' calamity affected the entire village. The migration of all clans is for the reconstruction and stability of Konoha. As a core clan of Konoha, the Shimura clan should set an example." He scratched his head, his tone sincere. "Our Sarutobi clan will fully support the central government's decision and will immediately begin preparations for the relocation."
Asuma's statement abruptly silenced the discussions on the rooftop. Uchiha You, standing beside Mikoto, slowly raised his previously lowered eyelids, a hint of approval flashing in his crimson Sharingan eyes. He nodded slightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Asuma-kun is truly wise and righteous, a pillar of the Sarutobi clan indeed." This praise was impartial, affirming Asuma's stance while indirectly silencing any potential objections from other clans. Elder Shimura opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more, dejectedly retreating back into the ranks, his face filled with resentment and helplessness.
Once the scene had calmed down, Uchiha Yao stepped forward. His black police uniform gleamed coldly in the morning light. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and his voice, transmitted through chakra, reached everyone's ears: "In order to strengthen the village's security and integrate police resources, we hereby announce the establishment of the Konoha Police Department, and appoint Namikaze Minato as the department head."
As the words fell, Minato Namikaze, dressed in a white outfit, stepped out from the crowd. His blond hair shone brightly in the sunlight, and his signature warm smile remained on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will certainly live up to your expectations." His movements were fluid and natural, and his tone was humble yet firm. Golden chakra flowed around him like a thin veil, showcasing the demeanor of the Fourth Hokage.
"Furthermore," Uchiha Yao turned his gaze to Asuma, "promote Sarutobi Asuma to Jonin deputy rank, mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of the first three generations of clan factions to ensure the stability of the village."
A hint of surprise flashed in Asma's eyes, then he bowed solemnly: "Yes, sir." He knew the weight of this position and understood the responsibility it carried; his clenched fist showed his determination.
The representatives of each clan exchanged glances, but no one raised any objections. Aburame Shiguro remained silent, the buzzing of the parasitic insects gradually subsiding; the Hyuga clan representative closed his eyes and nodded, accepting the arrangement; the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans exchanged a look, their eyes filled with understanding and caution. With Uchiha You's formidable strength and sound planning, this adjustment of administrative divisions and personnel appointments, crucial to the future of Konoha, was thus smoothly finalized. The moment the elder announced the end of the meeting, the clan representatives left in an orderly fashion, their steps steady, no one daring to utter the slightest complaint.
After the meeting, the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans stayed behind. Nara Shikaku, still as deliberate as ever, a cigarette between his fingers, unlit, spoke first: "Lord You, our three clans are willing to contribute a portion of our profits to aid in the village's reconstruction and reform." His tone was calm, yet brimming with sincerity. Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza nodded in agreement. Yamanaka Inoichi formed hand seals, produced a pre-prepared list of benefits, and handed it to Uchiha You. Akimichi Choza added in a deep voice, "As long as Konoha becomes better, our three clans will do whatever it takes."
Uchiha Yao took the list, glanced at it briefly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Thank you for your support, clan leaders." He didn't stand on ceremony and turned to Mikoto, "The police department should immediately begin recruiting ninjas from various clans to expand its personnel and ensure that the security system covers every corner of the village."
Mikoto nodded slightly, a sharp glint in her Sharingan eyes: "Understood. I will draft the selection criteria as soon as possible to ensure that only the elite are recruited." She turned and left, her black figure quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor, displaying remarkable efficiency.
This power shift and reform in Konoha was like a thunderclap thrown into the ninja world, quickly spreading throughout the five great nations.
Inside the council hall of Iwagakure, Onoki sat in the main seat, short in stature but exuding an imposing aura. He slammed his hand heavily on the stone table and roared, "That brat Uchiha You dares to disrupt the order of Konoha like this!" His white beard trembled with rage, and the Earth Release chakra surrounding him filled the entire hall with a suffocating atmosphere. "Go, send someone to sow discord between the Senju and Uchiha, preferably making them kill each other!"
However, just as his subordinate was about to leave to carry out his orders, a messenger rushed in, handing over an invitation from Konoha. Onoki took the invitation, unfolded it, and his face instantly darkened. The invitation not only invited representatives from Iwagakure to attend the Hokage inauguration ceremony but also explicitly mentioned the upcoming marriage between the Senju and Uchiha clans. "Damn it!" Onoki slammed the invitation to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment. "That Uchiha You, he actually anticipated my plan!" His attempt to sow discord had completely failed. He could only snort coldly and order, "Prepare gifts and send a delegation to Konoha. I want to see what they're really up to."
Inside the Raikage's office in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, A, slammed his fist against the wall, instantly cracking the solid surface. His lightning chakra crackled around him as he roared, "Konoha is about to change! The Uchiha clan in power? It's a joke!" His younger brother, Killer Bee, was clapping along and muttering to himself, but A glared at him fiercely, and he fell silent. After venting his anger, A took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "Send the most elite reconnaissance team to Konoha. Make sure they find out their true intentions, especially that Uchiha You, and the Senju clan's attitude." Despite his anger, the Raikage knew Konoha's strength and dared not act rashly; he could only probe their true intentions first.
At the elders' meeting in Sunagakure, Ebizo squinted, tapping his cane lightly on the ground, and slowly said, "The changes in Konoha seem sudden, but they were actually foreshadowed. Uchiha You was no ordinary person; he quickly stabilized the situation after the Nine-Tails incident." Granny Chiyo sat beside him, her wrinkles deepening with thought. She nodded in agreement, "Ebizo is right. We can no longer view Konoha with old eyes. Sending a delegation to attend the ceremony will allow us to ascertain their strength and intentions, and also allow us to adjust our strategy towards Konoha to avoid being put on the defensive." The high-ranking officials of Sunagakure unanimously agreed, and a diplomatic adjustment regarding Konoha was thus finalized.
Within Konoha Village, Uchiha Yao's reforms are progressing steadily. In the classrooms of the Ninja Academy, teachers are replacing textbooks with new ones. The new textbooks not only retain the basic teaching content of ninjutsu and taijutsu, but also add a wealth of historical anecdotes and stories of past heroes of Konoha. The pages are imprinted with stories of Tobirama's vision in establishing the Konoha police system, the Third Hokage's unwavering dedication to protecting the village, and Minato Namikaze's heroic sacrifice in sealing the Nine-Tails… Students gather around, curiously flipping through the new textbooks, their eyes filled with reverence and longing. The previously somewhat loose sense of ninja identity is gradually solidifying through these vivid stories.
The adjustments within the Anbu and Root were even more discreet. In a secret underground room of the Hokage Building, Senju Nawaki, dressed in a black Anbu uniform and wearing a mask that revealed only his sharp eyes, was responsible for the Anbu's daily scheduling and task allocation. Namikaze Minato, despite holding multiple positions, still made time to participate in the Anbu's core decision-making, injecting new vitality into the Anbu with his wisdom and strength. Orochimaru stood to the side, his purple eyes gleaming with a probing light. He was responsible for Root's intelligence gathering and ninjutsu development. Although his style remained unpredictable, he never overstepped his bounds under Uchiha Yo's constraints. The three had clear divisions of labor and mutual checks and balances, transforming what was originally a secret force operating on the fringes of the rules into a vital force protecting Konoha.
Faced with Uchiha Yao's offer of more powerful positions, Namikaze Minato politely declined. In the Hokage's office, he bowed slightly to Uchiha Yao, his tone sincere: "Lord Yao, I prefer to focus on my work in the police force and as a Jonin squad leader, ensuring the village's stability and the orderly operation of the ninja force. Too many positions would only distract me and hinder my work." His smile remained warm, yet carried an undeniable firmness. Uchiha Yao looked at him, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and nodded, saying, "Since Minato-kun has made up his mind, I will not force you. But if you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
Inside the Hokage's office, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor. Uchiha You sat in his office chair, flipping through various government documents, his brow furrowing and relaxing intermittently. Tsunade stood beside him, dressed in the uniform of a Hokage's assistant, her blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders. Holding a financial statement, she said softly, "You, this is the village's expenditure breakdown for this month. The reconstruction project's costs are significantly higher than expected, requiring a budget adjustment." Her tone was efficient, a stark contrast to her usual cheerful demeanor, revealing the professionalism and meticulousness of a Hokage's assistant. Uchiha You looked up at her and nodded. "I'll leave it to you. Ensure the reconstruction project proceeds smoothly while also maintaining the normal operation of all departments." Tsunade nodded in agreement and turned to attend to her tasks, the crisp, rhythmic click of her high heels on the floor.
Meanwhile, in the distant Land of Rain, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko stood atop a dilapidated building, gazing towards Konoha with complex emotions in their eyes. They had learned of the changes in Konoha through intelligence channels and about Uchiha You's current status. "You-nii really did it," Yahiko said with an excited smile, his clenched fist revealing his longing. "He truly brought about change in Konoha; perhaps this is the path to peace we've always sought." Nagato, seated in his wheelchair, his purple Rinnegan slightly shifting, his eyes thoughtful: "The changes in Konoha will affect the entire ninja world; we must seize this opportunity." Konan's origami scrolls fluttered gently in her hands, a tender smile on her face: "I believe in You-nii; he won't forget our promise in the Land of Rain."
Just as Konan had said, Uchiha You hadn't forgotten his encounter with the three. After finishing his urgent political affairs, he extended an invitation to the Land of Rain, hoping Konan would come to Konoha to serve as his secretary. This was partly to strengthen ties between the two countries, and partly to promote deeper cooperation between Konoha and the Land of Rain. When the invitation arrived, Konan accepted almost without hesitation. A few days later, Konan, dressed in a white dress, appeared at the Hokage's office door, origami butterflies fluttering around her like ethereal sprites. "Brother You, I've come," she said softly, yet with unwavering determination.
Uchiha Yao rose to greet her, a sincere smile on his face: "Welcome, Konan. With your help, the cooperation between Konoha and the Land of Rain will surely be smoother." He gestured for Konan to sit down and handed her a cooperation proposal. "This is a preliminary framework for cooperation. Please take a look and see if there are any adjustments needed."
Xiao Nan took the plan and began to carefully review it.
