Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Readers who don't care can skip this; it's just for discussion and to show that I put a lot of effort into the setting.

Let's start with Kakashi.

First, there's the setting book, which states that Kakashi graduated at age five, became a Chunin at age six, and a Jonin at age twelve.

The problem is that neither the manga nor the TV series version reflects this point.

Kakashi joined the Anbu when he was very young, and at that time he said that he did not care about his teammates, which caused many unpleasantness between him and others.

However, there are also clear scenes showing Kakashi, Obito, and others participating in the Chunin Exams, which makes it very unsettling.

Did the ANBU (Anbu) go back to training and become a genin?

Let's talk about Matt Kay again.

Might Guy's enrollment age was two years different from Kakashi's; this is according to the official setting.

However, the storyline includes scenes of Might Guy failing his entrance exam and having to retake it, as well as scenes of him attending the opening ceremony with Kakashi. I have pictures of these scenes here; they are not fan-made interpretations.

Finally, there's the topic of stopping water flow, which actually has very little content.

Two things are clear: he participated in the Third Shinobi World War as a child and earned the name Shisui of the Body Flicker, and he was about five years older than Itachi Uchiha.

So the setting here is that Kakashi entered the academy at the age of five and wanted to graduate, Might Guy hadn't even entered yet, and Uchiha Shisui was already at the ninja academy.

Thank you for your support, dear readers!

017 Konoha will be the Uzumaki clan's eternal home.

Leaf.

Koharu Utatane stood at the door of Kushina Uzumaki's house and gently knocked on the door.

"Coming, coming! Just a moment!" A vibrant voice rang out, and Kushina Uzumaki rushed over, opening the door with a slight pause: "You're the advisor?"

"Hello, Kushina."

"I've come to see you on behalf of three generations. May I come in and have a seat?" Tsurugi Koharu smiled kindly, though this was not her true intention.

Before coming to find Kushina, Hiruzen Sarutobi called her over again to discuss the details of the human body technology development with the Land of Fire, and emphasized the core content of this conversation.

This also deeply touched her.

Since taking up the position of Konoha's advisor, Koharu Utatane has subconsciously felt that she has been alienated by this responsibility and power, and is no longer the person she used to be.

She used to care about her companions' feelings and value the survival and continuation of individuals; she was a thoughtful person.

However, when it comes to governing the village on a macro level, she increasingly feels that the idea and propaganda that 'ninjas are tools' is extremely useful. It can avoid a lot of friction and internal strife, and it is the real way to ensure the survival of Konoha.

So, she suggested to the Third Hokage that it might not be necessary to apologize to Kushina, and that silently correcting her mistake would be sufficient...

However, he was criticized by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Xiaochun, you believe that the warmth of human nature will diminish the tool-like nature of ninjas and affect the village... I don't deny that this will cause some trouble, but I'm asking you to do this so that it will bring greater benefits to the village."

"If we continue to suppress the human nature of ninjas, Konoha will inevitably face serious problems sooner or later! All we need to do is lower ourselves slightly, address this psychological need, and slowly spread the message throughout the ninja world..."

"Do you dare to bet me? The Will of Fire can even make enemies come and surrender!"

"So-called authority is about building a consensus among everyone that we can make the village better, not about never making mistakes."

"Don't be so short-sighted."

Koharu was given a thorough dressing-down and slunk out of the Hokage Building.

Her old classmate's assertiveness reminded her of her teacher…

Once you've figured out the logic and the pros and cons, and reached a conclusion, you must resolutely implement it.

Whether the target is a so-called Konoha advisor, a hidden village of an enemy country, or even oneself.

"Please come in! Oh dear, I haven't tidied the room yet, what am I going to do..." Kushina hurriedly ushered Koharu into the room, her red hair swaying slightly with nervousness.

"It's alright, it's alright... It's normal for young people to relax a little." Koharu Utatane said with a smile, thinking about Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

Upon entering the room, Xiaochun raised an eyebrow.

Why is there a blond guy in this room?

These two kids seem a bit off...

Minato Namikaze sat barefoot and cross-legged on the sofa, intently studying the densely packed drawings on the coffee table.

It looks like a sealing technique?

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her new room, frowned subconsciously.

Who allowed this kid to come into contact with the important Tailed Beast container?

They've built up this personal relationship, yet it seems they're also trying to extract valuable sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan...

Even if Minato Namikaze was the one who saved Kushina, that's a separate matter.

Kushina didn't notice Koharu's slightly changed expression; she just blushed and wanted to explain something.

Yeah!

How could you forget that Minato is at home?

This is a girl's natural reaction when her elders discover that there is a boy in the family.

But Minato Namikaze noticed this quickly, stood up, and greeted, "Hello, Dormitory Transfer Advisor!"

"Hmm..." Koharu Utatane looked at Minato Namikaze with a scrutinizing gaze.

She wasn't saying she wanted to break up the couple, but Kushina's special status left her no choice but to think things through.

Even if Minato Namikaze was Jiraiya's apprentice, it doesn't matter.

"Grandmaster really cares about Kushina! So many people came to see you today..."

Minato Namikaze smiled like a little sun and said to Kushina, "You're really getting a lot of attention!"

Kushina chuckled and said reproachfully, "What, you won't come to see me without the Third Hokage's instructions?"

Minato Namikaze raised his hands in surrender: "That's not what I meant. My master meant that we have a very good relationship, and he was very happy to see that..."

Xiaochun, who was changing dorm rooms, had a sudden thought.

What a blond brat!

In just a few words, he first emphasized his identity and then subtly indicated that he had the endorsement of the Third Hokage.

On the surface, he looks like a naturally naive and sunny young man...

Is this really the disciple trained by that kid Jiraiya?

They're completely different!

He does bear a slight resemblance to Orochimaru when he was a child…

"So Minato the brat is here too?"

Turning to Xiaochun, she instantly changed her expression: "Seeing you young people cultivating together makes me, a middle-aged person, feel young again, hehe."

Kushina, her face flushed, ran to the kitchen to get some snacks and tea.

"What are you doing here?" Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, pointed to the table.

"Advisor, could you please come and take a look?" Minato Namikaze scratched his head in distress. "My master asked me to inspect the security measures that Sakumo-sama is overhauling..."

"I thought sealing techniques would be helpful, so I'm researching them with Kushina!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun, who was turning the bedchamber, was deeply moved.

The young men and women's struggle for the village reminded her of her own youth...

"Let me take a look; perhaps I can be of some help?"

A moment later, Koharu, who was turning the bed, awkwardly raised her head.

I originally wanted to humbly offer my help and build a closer relationship, but the sealing techniques these two young men and women were researching were far from basic.

It has reached a level that even ordinary Jonin would find difficult to control.

Xiaochun, who was turning over, offered a few reluctant suggestions, which were somewhat insightful, but she still felt embarrassed.

Minato Namikaze exclaimed softly, "Thank you for the dorm transfer advisor, I've figured it out!"

Xiaochun, who was turning over a new room, was taken aback. "What have you figured out?"

I still can't figure it out!

Kushina's eyes lit up: "Really? The dorm transfer advisor is amazing, and Minato is amazing too!"

Koharu, who had just switched dorm rooms, was now relieved about the blond-haired guy.

Whether it's proactively letting her understand what kind of sealing technique she's researching, or focusing on emotional intelligence...

These are not the levels that ordinary teenagers should have.

Most importantly, she genuinely couldn't tell whether Minato Namikaze was just naturally naive or socially adept...

But all in all, it's definitely enough to deal with Kushina.

She's acting like a total fangirl...

After changing dorm rooms, Xiaochun decided to get down to business.

"Kushina, those despicable Kumogakure members, the village will make them pay the price."

“In the past, there were shortcomings in our security and guidance for your integration into the village, which caused you some grievances.”

"But it's not that I've forgotten you; it's just that things need to be done one by one. Enemy infiltration and post-war reconstruction are all major issues that affect the survival of the village."

"The Third Hokage has given instructions to incorporate the friendly history between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha into the Ninja Academy's curriculum, so that everyone not only knows about the Uzumaki clan's contributions, but also remembers the ruthlessness of the enemy and this humiliation!"

"The Third Hokage asked me to convey to you that Konoha is your home. You are not a so-called tailed beast vessel. Even without special chakra, the village has an obligation to take care of every Uzumaki orphan."

"You can choose any new address you like. The Dark Guard will focus its defenses in the vicinity. Given your identity, it's not advisable for you to do missions too frequently. The village will provide you with additional cultivation resources and a living allowance."

"If you need anything, you can tell the village. Don't keep it to yourself..."

Koharu, turning over to her dorm, said solemnly:

"The Third Hokage hopes you will live happily in Konoha and find a new family."
