Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

As a disciple of Tobirama Senju, most of the Uchiha clan kept their distance from him in that era, and Kagami Uchiha had no opportunity to delve into the clan.

"Teacher, you may think that the Uchiha clan is a time bomb that must be eliminated sooner or later."

"But after serving as Hokage for over twenty years, I can't think that way."

"'The Will of Fire,' while essentially a slogan to stabilize the ninja's spirit, will eventually become the cause of Konoha's collapse if it is not considered as the primary principle in problem-solving."

"Since we've said it, we have to do it. At least we should try our best first and then think of a last resort."

"I truly consider the Uchiha clan ninjas as part of Konoha."

"This is the teaching of the First Master."

Tobirama Senju was speechless, and he instinctively felt a little displeased.

Is Hiruzen Sarutobi teaching him a lesson?

But this enthusiasm quickly faded; what Tobirama Senju despised were those who only shouted slogans but did nothing…

He has achieved great things, yet he still retains such a kind heart; this makes him all the more worthy of respect.

"I racked my brains trying to figure out how to find someone who is both powerful and knowledgeable about the Uchiha clan, someone I know very well and trust completely."

"I have looked throughout the entire ninja world, and there is only you, teacher."

"Your understanding of the Uchiha clan far surpasses that of most members of the Uchiha clan, and your Will of Fire needs no further explanation; it is a goal I have always strived to learn from."

"If you become the leader of the Uchiha clan, I, as the Hokage, will use both overt and covert methods to dismantle their resistance, and together we will work to reform their thinking..."

"The Will of Fire will be forged into their minds like a steel stamp, becoming the underlying logic of the Uchiha clan..."

"Then the Uchiha clan will be completely integrated into Konoha, and the problem that has been troubling Konoha will be solved. You will be able to have a new life and fulfill your long-cherished wish of defeating the Uchiha."

Tobirama Senju slowly exhaled a long breath, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

What a monkey! What a Hiruzen Sarutobi! What a Third Hokage!

They dare to think, they dare to do, and they actually succeed!

Although Tobirama Senju often called Izuna Uchiha a despicable mad dog…

But in fact, Tobirama Senju had put in a lot of effort to study his old rival.

From techniques, personality, and lifestyle to thought processes and interpersonal skills, Tobirama Senju studied every detail of Izuna Uchiha in order to find his weakness.

Conversely, the same applies to Uchiha Izuna.

So much so that Hashirama Senju once jokingly remarked without a care in the world:

"Tobirama, why don't you reconcile with Izuna? That way, our two clans can stop fighting. Look at you two, you're both becoming like each other..."

Tobirama Senju was furious at the time.

But he also admitted in his heart that if he were given Sharingan eyes and Izuna's face...

Even if Madara Uchiha came in person, if he didn't ask some private questions, Tobirama Senju was confident that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference!

His large figurine was based on Uchiha Izuna's cells, which served as the skeleton that differentiated and formed the figurine, as well as the shackles that suppressed his rampage.

During this process, the two types of cells also fused and communicated to a certain extent. It was not a simple splicing. Under the catalysis of chakra, they even interlocked, which caused some problems.

With the materials and secret techniques prepared for him by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tobirama Senju was confident that he could create a body with sufficient potential for himself.

There might still be some problems, but as a ninjutsu scientist, Tobirama Senju understood that no research project could be fully prepared from the beginning; having a start was already a good thing…

This project is now practically just missing a format change; there's no reason it shouldn't run!

"Have you considered the issue of identity?" Tobirama Senju slowly exhaled a long breath, his blood-red eyes shining with an eerie light.

Will he become Izuna Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan?

I didn't feel anything at first...

But thinking about it carefully, this feeling of conquering the Uchiha clan both physically and mentally...

This is so exciting!!

“I’ve also considered the identity, and the general framework has been set. Some details need to be finalized by you.”

"There are some things your notes didn't include, and I don't know much about Uchiha Izuna either..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed to a scroll on the table, which contained information about Kusagakure, and said softly:

"This also relates to the first task I assigned to you after your resurrection!"

010 Plan complete. Call me Monkey one last time, teacher. (10/10)

Assign a task?

Tobirama Senju paused slightly, still somewhat unaccustomed to this explanation.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him calmly, as if nothing was wrong.

"Too…"

"After all, you are the Hokage now..."

Tobirama Senju chuckled and said, "He certainly has the airs and authority of a Hokage..."

"Teacher, you will always be my teacher, my respected Second Hokage, Lord Tobirama..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed as well: "But your experience as Hokage is not as rich as mine... I have been in office for more than 20 years, while you have only been in office for about 10 years."

"In terms of seniority as Hokage, I am older than you."

"You may need some time to figure out what Konoha is like now; times have changed."

Tobirama Senju was speechless, but it was indeed the truth.

The Impure World Reincarnation and the Reversal of Yin and Yang truly made the original master-disciple order become wondrous...

They are now the same age, which is considered good.

If the father were to be resurrected but were twenty or thirty years younger than his son, it would be awkward and difficult for them to get along.

Hiruzen Sarutobi both respected him and clearly expressed his attitude as the current Hokage…

While this made Tobirama Senju somewhat displeased, he was also somewhat gratified.

This is how a Hokage should be!

Even if the previous Hokage were to be resurrected, we cannot simply let him be.

For a village to operate smoothly and efficiently, having a clear decision-maker is essential.

This also reflects Hiruzen Sarutobi's self-confidence.

If we still have to rely on the wisdom of our ancestors for everything, it only shows that Konoha is stuck in its past glory and is going backwards!

Then the emphasis on inheritance in the 'Will of Fire' becomes nonsense.

"I can listen to you, monkey..."

Tobirama Senju paused, then changed his address to the Hokage: "But once I'm integrated into Konoha, I will still point out any problems, Hiruzen."

"Shouldn't I have the power to participate in politics and policy-making, as an advisor?"

"Of course, I'd even be willing to be your assistant, let alone an advisor..." Hiruzen Sarutobi joked.

"I really look forward to my teacher helping me identify and fill in the gaps in my work and offering good suggestions."

Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction.

The attitude was very good!

But actually, he's rather petty...

I'll really have to find a way to spot some of the monkey's shortcomings and occasionally show my authority as a teacher...

This idea is also consistent with the previous one.

Tobirama Senju was examining the information scroll about Kusagakure.

With his intelligence, he naturally understood it immediately.

"Good idea. Kusagakure is indeed a suitable village for my new identity..."

"Find a suitable character and replace his identity." Tobirama Senju nodded slightly.

He was very skilled at infiltration during the Warring States period.

"That's right, and this naturally gives you, teacher, a starting point to show that you're loyal to Konoha..."

“You are not a native genius of the Uchiha clan. You are a descendant of the Uchiha clan who was rescued by Konoha, but you have extremely high talent.”

"The current head of the Uchiha clan, Isshin, is Setsuna's younger brother."

"According to intelligence from the patrol team, he keeps talking about the appearance of Izuna and Madara, teaching the Uchiha clan to be patient. He's an interesting old guy."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said leisurely."

When Izuna appeared, wasn't Isshin overjoyed?

But there was nothing they could do; this was an Uchiha descendant rescued from Konoha, and she naturally had a favorable impression of the village's higher-ups…

What stance and solutions do you have?

And it doesn't seem out of place at all.

"After you have repaired this body, go to Kusagakure and lie low to find that woman from the Uzumaki clan and protect her as much as possible."

"You can also use her as cover for your own identity..."

Tobirama Senju nodded thoughtfully; it was indeed a natural barrier.

"Finally, there's the origin of your physical appearance and talents..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly: "I originally planned to portray you as a descendant of Izuna Uchiha..."

Tobirama Senju's face darkened: "No, this is unreasonable!"

Based on his understanding of Uchiha Izuna, this guy had probably been with women...

He was even more popular within the Uchiha clan than Madara was back then.

But Tobirama Senju could make a less vicious oath!
