Chapter 375 Kicked Out

The reduced workload left many of the hidden village's ninjas with nothing to do.

This situation is inevitable in a peaceful environment, so it is inevitable that those with the talent to become ninjas will be divided into different streams.

In the Hokage Building's office, Uzumaki Sora looked at the two people in front of him and said, "The Ninja Academy was originally proposed by the Second Hokage, with the aim of training mission- and war-oriented ninjas."

"The Ninja Academy gives civilian ninjas a better chance of survival. At least those with talent will be noticed by the higher-ups, just like you, Fourth Hokage."

"But the situation is different now. Compared to the era when the conflicts between the five great ninja villages gradually intensified under the Second Hokage, peace is now the general direction."

Uzumaki Sora: "In that case, the training direction of the Ninja Academy needs to be changed. In fact, I don't understand social structures, so all I can do is give you some hints about the future."

"Establish a garrison force in every town, staffed by ninjas, with salaries paid by the Daimyo's government."

"Developing agriculture and road construction are necessary for Earth-style ninjas to branch out their skills, while Lightning and Fire-style chakra ninjas can engage in energy services. This needs to be done in conjunction with the Ministry of Science and Technology."

"Of course, what I say may not all be correct. There are many things that need to be verified and tested little by little."

"In short, farming, road construction, goods transportation, desert greening, village and town expansion, medical care, and so on can all be further subdivided into categories, and then ninjas can be placed in them."

After he finished speaking, Shikaku and Minato were both pondering the feasibility of the idea.

After a long silence, Shikaku finally spoke, asking, "If the Ministry of Science and Technology develops a machine that can use chakra as its energy source, then ninjas can become a source of productivity, thus creating a virtuous cycle."

"Furthermore, the widespread deployment of security forces can improve the safety of merchants and civilians, while also allowing these ninjas to maintain a certain level of combat capability. Merchants and civilians pay taxes, and the money is distributed to the various positions formed by the ninjas, which not only improves safety but also gives the ninjas a place to use their skills."

Minato nodded in agreement: "Another point is the matter of Naruto and the Nine-Tails. Merchants make a lot of money, thanks to the peaceful situation and the protection provided by the widespread use of police forces. Obviously, it will be easier for them to make money."

"In other words... the tax on merchants needs to be increased, while the tax on ordinary people needs to be reduced. In addition, the Ministry of Science and Technology needs to allocate more resources, because scientific and technological research and development is the most important primary productive force."

The two people in front of him had said almost everything, and Uzumaki Sora shrugged and smiled, "I don't know the specifics of how to implement it or how to correct the mistakes. I'm just telling you what I can think of."

"A long period of peace has arrived, and the new era will inevitably involve a lot of trial and error. Even new high-ranking officials like those in the Daming Prefecture will gradually emerge. All we can ever do is maintain relative fairness and leave more opportunities for ordinary people to survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spatial passage opened, and Vortex Kong waved his hand and disappeared from the office.

In a world of extraordinary abilities, the development of the world cannot be done in a conventional way, and as someone who failed his political studies, he can't come up with any profound theories.

Everything requires trial and error; we need to gradually find a path that suits this world.

The existence of Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora is merely a safety net, a safeguard to prevent the world from erupting into chaos and war at the slightest mistake.

……

Instead of returning to the izakaya, Uzumaki Sora wandered aimlessly around Konoha.

For nearly twenty years, all I did was survive, to ensure that my family and I could survive that so-called night of genocide.

After the Root organization was destroyed, a war was launched between Konoha and Kumogakure in order for the Uchiha clan to return to the heart of Konoha.

The scenes of death during the war inspired in him the same will for peace as all the bosses in this world.

Peace has arrived, but now there are aliens.

The Boruto storyline has caused the mindset of being able to retire to fade away, and the advantage of having foresight is also about to be lost.

On the swing in the park, Whirlpool, for some unknown reason, sat down and started rocking back and forth while thinking about something.

A moment later, a voice sounded behind him.

"Kong Jun, I never expected you to have such leisure and refined tastes."

"Instead of doing R&D at the Ministry of Science and Technology, you came here to catch up with me?"

Sora glanced at Orochimaru, pointed to the swing beside him, and said, "Sit, or I'll beat you to death."

Uh!

Orochimaru hesitated for a moment but then sat down, wiggling his buttocks and shaking them.

"When you are in a high position, the simpler things are, the more you can find your original will."

Sora then looked at Orochimaru and asked, "How have you been in Konoha?"

Orochimaru was about to stick out his tongue and lick his lips as usual, but then he pulled it back.

He replied awkwardly, "It's another manifestation of life, very comfortable... When I'm busy, I do some research that I like in the Ministry of Science and Technology, and when I have free time, I can sit with Jiraiya and Tsunade for a while..."

"If I had just honestly been a Konoha ninja back then, maybe this would have been my future, wouldn't it? It's novel, and it's also a different kind of experience."

Orochimaru then looked at Sora: "So, what about Sora-kun? Sora-kun's current level of life should be beyond my kind of shortcut to immortality, right? A long lifespan, the power to suppress the entire ninja world... truly enviable!"

Uzumaki Sora: "The more you learn about the future of this world, the more you'll realize you're not strong enough. Bearing the title of 'strongest' in a chuunibyou way means bearing the fate of the world as well."

"If it weren't for that accident, I could be retired and doing nothing by now. I'd find a wife, get married, and live a life of eating, drinking, and having fun—perfect!"

Orochimaru listened attentively to the first half, but felt the conversation had gone off-topic in the second half.

After a long silence, Orochimaru spoke: "Do I have any hope for evolution at the level of life?"

Uzumaki Sora shook his head slightly: "No, I should say there isn't one at the moment. There are absolutely no cells that can adapt to Hashirama cells alone. Evolution at the level of life can only be achieved through research, which is very difficult."

Nodding slightly, Orochimaru dismounted from the swing and turned to leave.

Uzumaki Sora looked up at the trees in the distance: "You've been listening for so long and you still won't come down. Do you want me to go up and ask you to come down?"

Wearing a straw hat, Obito leaped down, his Mangekyou Sharingan, which was partially hidden, looking at the clouds.

"I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I just have something important to discuss with you."

"Yes, sit down."

"Uh... what kind of twisted sense of humor is this?"

"I remember you used to really enjoy sitting here and swinging on the swing."

Obito's expression froze for a moment, but he eventually sat down obediently.

After a long while, Obito couldn't hold back any longer.

"You promised me."

"What did I promise you?"

"Are you trying to renege on your debt?! Believe me or not..."

"What do you want to do?"

The crimson six-tomoe Rinnegan flashed by, as did the aura of ocular power on his forehead.

In an instant, Obito froze on the spot.

It took him a while to recover, and he waved his hand, saying, "You're really as strong as a monster..."

Uzumaki Sora ignored his complaints and instead said, "Resurrecting the dead, creating form from nothingness, spatial portals... from a simple ninjutsu to a technique that can destroy the world, it seems that they are all modifying the original rules of the world."

"what?"

Obito was bewildered, scratched his head, and replied, "Can you please stop talking about such high-sounding things? I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me."

Uzumaki Sora's eye twitched: "Is that little Nine-Tails bastard contagious?"

The next moment, Uzumaki Sora looked at Obito with amusement: "You want to ask about reviving Nohara Rin? The situation is basically stable now, and peace will remain for a long time, so it's indeed possible to revive her. However..."

"But what?" Obito asked anxiously.

"But what do you think... after Rin Nohara is resurrected, will she choose Obito Uchiha, who is disfigured and forced to live in anonymity? Or Kakashi Hatake, who is already the leader of the Jonin team and is incredibly handsome?"

Under Sora's strange smile, Obito also felt uneasy.

For a moment, Obito, sitting on the swing, clenched his fists and swayed back and forth, caught in a dilemma.

His dilemma wasn't about reviving Rin, but rather how he could compare to Kakashi now.

As for appearance... Lin shouldn't be such a superficial person, right? Besides, I heard that the Ministry of Science and Technology has recently made some new breakthroughs that can change one's appearance.

As for the Jonin class leader...

"Oh right! Speaking of which, Rin Nohara was only thirteen when she died, wasn't she? You're twenty-nine now, are you an old cow eating young grass?"

"I heard that the Women's Association has been cracking down hard lately. Jiraiya's copy of 'Little Liu Bei' has been confiscated several times. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become so expensive that even Kakashi couldn't afford it."

"You're a minor...you might get beaten to death as a pervert. Hahaha..."

Uzumaki Sora's voice was like a demonic chant, incessantly nagging, while Obito, standing nearby, was so anxious that his Mangekyou Sharingan activated.

As the world gradually becomes more harmonious, Obito, whose original will had been fulfilled, has gradually returned to his true nature.

But it is precisely because of this that his personality is more like it was eighteen years ago.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Obito leaped off the swing.

"I won't lose to that bastard Kakashi! In a world with both Rin and Kakashi, I won't lose to him!"

Uzumaki Sora nodded: "Alright, actually I'm quite curious to see what you two will choose in this situation."

Obito glanced at Sora Uzumaki: "What a perverse guy."

……

On the other side, Uchiha Yun, who had just returned home after having a few drinks, saw guests as soon as he entered the door.

"Oh? It's quite unexpected that you two would come to my house."

In the living room, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai sat on the sofa, while their mother greeted the guests across from them.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hazuki frowned: "Yun, that was rather rude."

Yun replied, "I'm sorry. But judging from the looks of it, you're here to deliver invitations?"

As she spoke, Yun came over and sat down beside her, looking at Kurenai Yuhi, whose face had already turned red: "Hmm... she's already pregnant? Asuma is really amazing."

The mother standing to the side had already turned pale. Over the years, she really couldn't do anything about her eldest son's casual attitude.

Asuma, sitting opposite him, scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. "There was a slight mishap, so it was a bit rushed. My father instructed that Lord Yun must come."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old guy?

Yun nodded with a smile, teased the two of them a few times, and then agreed.

No matter what, he's already a retired old man who doesn't care about worldly affairs, but Asuma is a qualified Konoha ninja.

Speaking of which... what was the name of the child these two had when they were born?

Sarutobi Mirai? A female version of Shisui?

Holy crap!

……

Soon the engaged couple got up to say goodbye.

Yun, still lost in thought, was completely unaware of the danger approaching from behind.

"Time flies... All the Jonin are starting families now."

"I ran into your Aunt Mikoto the other day, and I heard that Itachi and that girl named Kokoro are getting married soon."

"Kushina's kid is even more amazing. He confessed to a girl from the Hyuga family while still in school. He'll be able to get married as soon as he's old enough, right?"

"besides……"

The rambling voice never stopped, without mentioning itself in a single sentence, yet it seemed as if every word was about itself.

"Bang!"

There was a knock at the door, and Uchiha Yun quickly looked over: "Oh? Izumi's back?"

"Smack."

A blur flashed by, and even Uchiha Yun, who was no less powerful than the Sage of Six Paths, couldn't dodge it.

I was hit on the back of the head.

"Don't interrupt!"

Hazuki Uchiha continued, "Everyone else is pregnant, and you still don't even have a date! You're out early and back late every day, and I can't find anyone. Are you that busy?"

As soon as she entered, Uchiha Izumi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mother, my brother is actually quite popular."

This prompted Hazuki Uchiha to shift her focus: "And you! It's been so many years since you graduated, do you have a date?"

Yun Chao blinked, unable to help.

The next moment, Quan said with a wronged look, "Actually, I went on a date right after graduation, but my brother said it wasn't a good match, so he beat the other person up."

???

In an instant, the death stare struck again.

"Mother, please let me explain!"

……

"Bang!"

The door behind them was slammed shut, and the brother and sister were kicked out by their beloved mother.

"Brother, we're only twenty, right? Is Mother in such a hurry?"

"Uh...maybe I've been provoked lately. Asuma and Kurenai just came over to deliver the invitations."

"They're older than us..."

"I heard Itachi and Kokoro are coming soon too."

"I see... If I told Mother that the person you hit was Itachi... Hahaha."

"Hmph...(▼皿▼#)"

"Brother, that girl from the Yamanaka family in our class really likes you... How about we go on a date?"

"Yamanaka Ino? Too small."

"You're only five years older than her, and let me tell you, that girl has changed a lot lately! She's getting prettier and prettier!"

"Really? →_→"

"Really! When have I ever lied to you, brother?"

"Are you sure Yamanaka Inoichi won't come at me with a sword?"

"The three families—Ino, Deer, and Butterfly—have all assessed the situation carefully; both publicly and privately, they should like this, right?"
