The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 85 He desperately wanted the Land of Rain to improve (A new month, please subscribe and support! The night yearns for progress even more!)

The morning sunlight, like fine sand, filtered through the white curtains and fell on the thin bedding, casting soft shadows.

In the warm morning light, Minako Uzumaki, who had rested well all night, slowly opened her bright blue eyes, her long red hair flowing like silk onto the pillow and the boy's body.

(She looks even cuter when she's asleep.)

(However, it's better to be the usual mischievous one.)

After quietly watching Uchiha Muan's sleeping face for a while, Uzumaki Minako stretched and gently swayed her body on the sheets, like an elegant mermaid.

She propped herself up with her arms, lying on her side on the bed, her perfect hourglass figure faintly visible in the morning light.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin was fair and delicate, and she gently combed her slightly messy hair with her hands, a lazy smile playing on her lips.

Her beautiful eyes fell on the boy, as if she could gaze at him for a lifetime.

"Ah~"

The beautiful young woman, suddenly ambushed, blushed slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of reluctance and longing. "An-san, I have to lead the troops back to Konoha."

"Just send a shadow clone to inform Senju Yoshimi that she will lead the team."

Uchiha Muan rolled over and stood up. "We'll go back later using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Now, I'm going to have some breakfast."

"I'm not breakfast!"

"Then three meals a day will do."

………………

A captivating spring scene unfolds in a small room, while earth-shattering waves surge across the Ninja World Continent.

The news that the leaders of the three great ninja villages and their ninja armies were swept away and slaughtered by the Hokage of Konoha in a single day left countries and villages around the world pale with fear.

In particular, the fact that the Hokage of Konoha was about to set the rules for the ninja world in four days caused great anxiety among the nobles of other countries and villages.

However, facing a powerful figure who could control their fate, both the major ninja villages that had been notified and the minor ninja villages that had not been notified sent their leaders to Konoha.

The four elders of the Land of Grass looked even uglier. After a brief discussion, they recommended that Momiji from Hozuki Castle lead the team to Konoha, while they themselves were prepared to become wandering ninjas.

The Land of Rain is a country surrounded by three great nations: the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Fire.

Under a gloomy sky, towering steel buildings and ubiquitous large pipes and sewers are the hallmarks of Amegakure, while the constant rain seems to be the endless tears of this country.

"Go and invite three guests from Konoha."

Inside the spacious room sat a young leader of the Rain Village, dressed in a black combat uniform with a gray vest, a gas mask, and a Rain Village headband that revealed only his eyes and nose. After reading the message in his hand, he waved to instruct a waiter to go and invite the leader. Hanzo of the Salamander stared blankly at the rain curtain on the horizon.

(Uchiha Takehiro, the Hokage of Konoha, is already the undisputed God of Shinobi.)

(Thank goodness we didn't kill them.)

As footsteps approached, Hanzo of the Salamander withdrew his gaze and looked at the three Uchiha youths who had entered. They were Uchiha Rai, Uchiha Pazu, and Uchiha Naka, who had been assigned by Uchiha Takehiko to train in Amegakure.

The three of them already showed signs of having Kage-level strength!

Seeing this, Hanzo of the Salamander's eyes grew increasingly dark and jealous—the Uchiha were truly a clan favored by the heavens.

Before they arrived, they were just three elite Jonin. After a life-or-death battle with him, they broke through to new heights one after another.

This talent is truly enviable.

"Hanzo-san, I heard you have some good news to tell us?"

Uchiha Baru spoke casually, his words and demeanor showing a close relationship with Hanzo of the Salamander, and he also seemed to have a good impression of the other two.

The three were naturally arrogant, and it might be an exaggeration to say they were conceited, but most people wouldn't even give them a second glance. After arriving in Amegakure, they went straight to Hanzo the Salamander.

Provocation, defeat, capture, sparring, friendship – through this process, the three made significant progress.

"This is the information that the noble Hokage spread throughout the ninja world yesterday. Please take a look."

After the waiter passed the note from Hanzo of the Salamander to the three of them, they exchanged glances. The most observant of them all, Uchiha Naka, looked up at the Rain Village leader, who was not flustered, and spoke up.

"Hanzo-san, would you like the three of us to introduce our clan's Hokage?"

"Please, everyone."

Hanzo the Salamander slowly lowered his head; he desperately wanted the Land of Rain to improve.

………………

In Sunagakure, the Land of Wind, the Kazekage Building stands silent.

The young elite Jonin Chiyo and her brother Ebina took up the banners of the Kazekage and Sunagakure, and led their willing subordinates to Konoha.

In Kirigakure, the last Kage-level elder, Genshi, looked sadly at the shinobi army who had lost all their courage, sighed deeply, and led his personal guards to Konoha.

In Iwagakure, the village of the Land of Earth, Roshi, who had stayed behind to prepare to become a Jinchūriki, silently accepted the Tsuchikage's straw hat and, with a heart set on death, went alone to Konoha.

Looking down at the continent from high above, waves of people are heading to the Land of Fire. Different clothing, cultures, and beliefs will converge and blend in Konoha, making Konoha more prosperous and thriving.

Uchiha Wu'an stood in the Hokage's office, leaning against the desk behind him, holding a cup of goji berry tea in his hand, gazing leisurely out the window at the bustling streets of the city center, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

This made Mito Uzumaki, who was still sitting in the position of secretary-general, twitch her eyebrows.

"Lord Hokage, Minako is back. Shouldn't I be sent to the Military Affairs Department to handle some matters? There's a lot to do there too."

With the war over, a mountain of tasks piled up on his desk. Mito Uzumaki glanced at the Hokage's desk, where he was drinking tea and doing nothing, with two small lucky cat figurines and a teapot on it. A surge of anger rose within him, a feeling of being a wage slave with multiple jobs and the same salary.

"There are so many things to deal with right now, Hokage-sama, you should at least lend a hand!"

"If all else fails, we can always hire more secretaries!"

With her head almost buried in documents, Minamoto Kaori blinked her cute big eyes and looked at Uchiha Takeoshi, who was deep in thought.

After a long pause, the Hokage said, "I understand."

Then, he vanished from the office in a flash.

Mito Uzumaki frowned, sensing something was amiss. She immediately used Kagura's Mind's Eye to instantly spot Uchiha Takeo, who was sitting cross-legged on Hokage Cliff. With a snap, she broke the pen in her hand.

Seeing this, Minako Uzumaki quickly got up to calm Mito Uzumaki down.

"Mito-sama, the Hokage might be looking for a suitable secretary. Don't worry, it's not too late to get angry if no one comes in a few days."

"Leave the overtime work to me. It's a good opportunity to hone my skills and take over the work of the secretary-general."

(Hehe, Minako working overtime.)

Uchiha Takeo, who witnessed this scene at Hokage Cliff through [Tenjō Ritsuzō], smiled, but then had to consider the matter of his secretary.

It's not right to constantly make your woman run around.

"Hmm, it's time to continue decentralizing power."

In the ninja world, where great power resides within oneself, authority is merely a byproduct of force.

After some deliberation, Uchiha Takeo decided to temporarily set the number of administrative staff at ten. The staff would be assigned by Uzumaki Mito and would be responsible for handling all matters, big and small, in Konoha. Finally, the information would be compiled and submitted to the secretariat for review and filing, so that the Hokage could review it.
