Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

As a result, after Tobirama Senju came to power, the Uchiha clan's hopes for the 'Hokage' were dashed, and then came the death of Kagami Uchiha, with all these factors piling up together...

The Uchiha problem has become a major challenge.

Take the Konoha Guard as an example.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Konoha Police Department was a policy adopted by the Second Hokage to restrict the Uchiha clan.

First, confining them to the village prevents them from frequently carrying out missions and undergoing specialized training. Instead, they are relegated to roles like internal guards, which have a very low frequency of actual combat. Naturally, this is like pulling teeth from a lion, resulting in a significant drop in combat effectiveness.

Secondly, using a single ethnic group as the law enforcement force, coupled with the Uchiha clan's personality, will inevitably lead to a decline in their reputation and standing within the village...

However, as things stand now, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to get the Uchiha clan out of the Konoha Police Department, it would be extremely difficult.

Because this was the last piece of spoiled bread that the Uchiha clan held in their hands.

For them, the fear of loss outweighs the desire to gain.

Especially given his status as Tobirama's disciple, it was even more difficult for him to gain the trust of the older generation of Uchiha.

In this situation, even the most drastic measure of sacrificing personal interests is unlikely to be very effective…

Between the two, there is a chain of suspicion that is difficult to break.

"To subdue the Uchiha clan, we must establish a sufficiently strong communication bridge..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples:

"We can't count on the older generation of Uchiha. It has to be a new generation of genius Uchiha who is loyal to the village, who can think in sync with me, and who can have enough influence in the clan!"

"Teacher, you've left me with a complete mess! As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it, but I doubt even if you came, you wouldn't be able to do a much better job..."

"That brat named Shisui does have that potential, but potential is just potential."

Although in his memory, Tobirama Senju always told Kagami that he never discriminated against the Uchiha clan, saying that the Uchiha clan was the one with true love in their hearts, but they just didn't use it in the right place.

But that only fooled the simple-minded Uchiha Kagami…

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to transmigrate into the Uchiha clan, unless I could lock him inside my body and talk to him slowly, it would be pointless to say a single word to him.

There's no other reason than fear of being struck by the Flying Thunder God Slash.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the Hokage portrait in the office, his gaze fixed on Tobirama Senju's serious face and his Uchiha-like red eyes.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

This is the ninja world, where all kinds of techniques are available...

Is it possible to bring this teacher back to life?

But not as Tobirama Senju, but as an Uchiha?

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly clenched his fist.

In fact, he had thought about the reanimated Tobirama Senju...

While the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot replicate a ninja's strength in life, for Tobirama Senju, the greatest scientist in the ninja world, all he needed was brains.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wanted Konoha to establish a 'technological gap' and 'technological hegemony', he desperately wanted Tobirama Senju to come and assist him.

It sounds a bit counterintuitive, but that's really the case...

However, there are two problems.

First, in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, since the Impure World Body does not have a fresh physical body to nourish the soul, it is okay if it exists for three to five days, but if it lasts longer, it is equivalent to drying out the soul.

He was, after all, the Second Kage of Konoha…

Moreover, in this state, Tobirama Senju would not be able to perform effective work.

Secondly, this is a very real problem.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to develop Konoha, to make it strong through diversified, efficient, and cost-effective methods...

But there's one condition: Konoha must be under his rule!

If it were Tobirama Senju himself who were resurrected, putting aside the difficulty of the resurrection, based on Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding of him, this Second Hokage would definitely try to become the supreme ruler of Konoha!

It's not that Tobirama Senju is obsessed with power, but rather that every character like him has an extremely strong sense of self.

In that case, the power in one's hands will inevitably be lost.

This was intolerable to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who needed 'authority'.

But what if he were resurrected as a member of the Uchiha clan?

Everything seemed to have been resolved...

All we need to do is give him a suitable identity, such as an orphan of the Uchiha clan, or even boldly say that he is a descendant of Uchiha Izuna!

Doesn't the teacher know Uchiha Izuna very well? It shouldn't be difficult for him to fake it, right?

In this way, the best communication bridge between the Hokage and the Uchiha clan will be established!

And Tobirama Senju, a member of the Uchiha clan.

They were inherently unable to interfere much with Hiruzen Sarutobi's Hokage authority.

Because, in any case, the unified consensus of Konoha is the Will of Fire.

Given the conflict between Tobirama Senju and the Uchiha clan, the fact that you, the Hokage, were resurrected as an Uchiha would undoubtedly create extremely unpleasant associations in everyone's minds.

Killing people wasn't enough; they also wanted to possess bodies?

Therefore, if Tobirama Senju were truly resurrected as 'Tobirama Uchiha', he could only live in Konoha as an Uchiha, and could not return to his position as the Second Hokage…

This secret must remain buried forever!

"Teacher, I am the Hokage! You're just an Uchiha!"

Even if there were suggestions regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's work, they were just suggestions.

This idea originally stemmed from seeing Tobirama Senju's red eyes.

But once it started, it ran rampant in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind like a wild horse...

He's already thinking of practical solutions.

How to give it to Tobirama Senju...

No, it's Tobirama Uchiha who has been resurrected?

At this moment, a multitude of forbidden techniques surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind—techniques concerning the soul, techniques concerning chakra…

He stared intently at the portrait of Tobirama Senju.

He walked slowly, step by step, toward the Second Hokage.

And at this moment.

Danzo Shimura knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

Following behind were Koharu and Homura Mitokado...

"Go in!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was still fixed on the portrait of the Second Hokage.

So much so that when the three of them came in and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's posture, they were all stunned.

Hiruzen, do you miss your teacher that much?

This scene lasted for a while.

“Hiruzen, you…” It was Danzo Shimura who spoke, breaking the eerie silence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and met Danzo Shimura's gaze, his eyes filled with a cold indifference that was born from extreme rational thinking: "Yes, I've kept you waiting, everyone."

"I was thinking about something just now. Please have a seat."

The three of them were stunned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's posture, tone of voice, and especially his eyes...

Why does he look so much like a teacher?

012 A merciless gaze, the initial plans for the Konoha committee system

How can I describe that expression?

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had discussed this in private.

They call it a lack of compassion.

When Tobirama Senju makes important decisions about the village, he doesn't consider family, friendship, morality, or even ethics; he only engages in purely rational logical deduction and weighing of pros and cons.

It was as if everything before them was just a problem that required an optimal solution, and even matters involving their own lives were just redundant variables that could be discarded.

Any rules and restrictions will be excluded.

If this matter benefits the village's development, then we should spare no effort in carrying it out...

In their eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi, though vastly different in appearance, bore a terrifying resemblance.

It was as if their teacher had possessed them...

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the three stunned people and started smoking his pipe, his eyes slightly narrowed.

That's right...

After going through it all again, he became even more convinced that his thinking was correct!

Reviving Tobirama Senju in his Uchiha form would not only provide a hidden agent to work from within and without, completely bringing the Uchiha under his control, but also create a scholar who can develop technology, making him an important combat force.

Most importantly, there is no possibility of him becoming the "retired emperor" above him.

Since there are so many benefits, all that remains is to overcome the difficulties…

If Tobirama Senju were to be resurrected in his former state, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't really have a good solution in his memories...

In the ninja world, countless people have tried to do this, but only some secret techniques for transmitting life force are said to be effective when the deceased has just lost their life.

The Sarutobi Clan Chronicles record an ancient saying: "For those who have been dead for a long time to have their souls and bodies restored to their former state, only the power of immortals can accomplish this."

The problem is that Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't need to revive Tobirama Senju in his original body. As long as he's not excessively weak, he can train slowly later on.

What he wanted was Tobirama Senju's intellect and his understanding of scientific research and the Uchiha clan!

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique can draw out the souls of the dead, which actually removes a major hurdle..."
