Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

250. Intention and continuous work

Ultimately, it's about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It really is a double-edged sword!

It can be so powerful that the Uchiha clan who awakens these eyes can instantly rise to the top Kage-level powerhouses, including Fugaku now. If it were to be a full-blown fight, not to mention Rasa, but also Hiruzen Sarutobi, Onoki, the Fourth Raikage A, and even the soon-to-be Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, Fugaku would actually have a higher chance of winning. This is the Mangekyou Sharingan, and it is also the biggest reason why the Uchiha clan must pay a corresponding price.

While Shoji may have three alternative solutions to his blindness, the latter two currently lack any basis and are extremely difficult to implement. Most importantly, they are not supported by any evidence in the original work and are entirely based on Shoji's utopian theories. Whether they can be successfully implemented is uncertain.

The only hope right now is the First Hokage's Wood Release cells. Firstly, there's the example of Obito in the original work, and secondly, I already have the First Hokage's Wood Release cells. I have the foundation, I have the ideal, and it's very practical. This is the most reliable method!

However, this is also where the difficulty lies.

I have absolutely no research ability!

'Sigh, it seems I still need to go see Orochimaru again. I need to at least get some higher-level research data; otherwise, I can't even do cell culture, let alone the subsequent experiments!'

Shoji once again pulled out the bottle of Wood Release cells containing immense life force from the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf, his eyes flashing slightly as he silently pondered in the depths of his heart.

The general refused to believe it!

That old bastard Danzo can cooperate with Orochimaru, but I can't!

Of course, the best way is to find a suitable researcher yourself!

But finding someone reliable, trustworthy, and with the necessary research capabilities in today's ninja world is incredibly difficult!

Shoji was forced to abandon the plan.

"We can only take it one step at a time. Let's first pinpoint Orochimaru's location. If nothing unexpected happens, Obito or Nagato will probably send someone to contact Orochimaru around this time. I'm really curious about when they'll meet!"

Jiang Si put away the Wood Release cells again, went to the corridor, gazed at the bright moon that was now hanging high in the sky, a faint light shining in his pupils, and murmured softly.

Jiang Si is, after all, a human, not a scanning machine. It's already quite good that Liu Heng can remember the general content of the comics and anime he watched in his previous life, even his favorite ones!

Don't expect to remember some of the details very well!

Especially popular shonen manga like Naruto.

If the serialization period is too long, unless you deliberately go back to review the previous plot content, it is really easy to forget some plots. Important plots and characters are fine, but secondary or even some unimportant things will definitely be automatically filtered out by the brain!

Moreover, the current commanders don't really care about these 'original plot points' anymore!

Aside from certain individuals' unique abilities and personal strengths, as well as information about Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha lurking in the shadows that remains 100% reliable, the rest of the 'original storyline' has undergone fundamental changes since Shoji led the Uchiha clan to break away from Konoha and, more recently, led the Iwa ninja to easily crush Rasa and win the Iwa-Sand War. Some plot points may still occur, but most will be completely unrecognizable!

It's highly improbable that Jiang Si would use this as a basis to speculate on the actions of the other four great ninja villages, Nagato, Obito, and even Black Zetsu; that would be the most irresponsible thing he could do!

That's absolutely as foolish as trying to find a lost sword by marking the boat!

Of course, some plot advantages still exist that can be utilized. For example, Obito and Black Zetsu would never know that their existence was already known to Shoji. The issue of light and darkness can often be reversed in an instant.

Obito is fine too.

Black Zetsu, it doesn't matter.

And the same goes for that old man Madara who is currently meditating in the underworld!

Jiang Si will definitely not let the plot of this life follow the same path as in the original work again!

Because neither Madara's world nor Naruto's world is the world that Shoji wants. The former is too extreme, and the latter is too vague, or even completely unrealistic!

'I'm going to forge a truly correct path!'

At this moment, a resolute look appeared on Jiang Si's face.

Although the war is over, the victors still have a lot to deal with. While the ordinary residents of Iwagakure, including the lowest-ranking genin, can happily and carefree immerse themselves in the world of celebration, the rest of Iwagakure must get busy again!

The aftermath of the war was extremely complex.

In general, it can be divided into two aspects. One is the issue of negotiations with Sunagakure. Even though a corresponding agreement has been reached, it is still necessary to send personnel to each other to further confirm and supervise each other to ensure that the contents of the agreement are implemented.

Secondly, there are issues regarding the internal personnel allocation and mobilization, as well as the organization, facilities, and material distribution. Although the land area occupied by this invasion of the Wind Kingdom is not large, it is a strategic location, so the allocation and planning of the stationed personnel must be as thorough and detailed as possible!

The initial garrison personnel assigned there, including Wenya, are only preliminary plans. As the most important fortress defense base, the village will definitely need to develop a comprehensive defense plan!

In addition, there are matters such as compensation and pensions for those who died or were wounded in battle!

It can be said that not only the village's top officials, but also many middle-level personnel were busier at the moment the war ended than during the war!

As the vice-leader of the Jonin team, Shoji was directly appointed by Onoki to temporarily oversee the entire Jonin team. Naturally, he was busier than anyone else, as many matters needed to be handled by Shoji before being submitted to Onoki, who was the Tsuchikage!

This single procedure alone is enough to keep Jiang Si extremely busy.

In addition, the main force will return in half a month, and a grand welcoming ceremony will be held then!

While these do not need to be formulated by Shoji, they do need to be reviewed by Shoji one by one before being submitted to Ohnoki for confirmation!

This also led to...

Starting the day after he returned, Jiang Si immediately went into a non-stop work mode.

He broke his promise to his younger brother and sister again.

I don't have time to accompany them in their cultivation.

251. A Grand Ceremony and a New Landscape (Third Update)

Fortunately, the busy period only lasts for a few days!

After handling all the most important matters in one go, Jiang Si was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. This made Jiang Si realize once again that the Jonin team was indeed the department with the widest jurisdiction and the greatest power in the village. They covered almost every aspect of affairs, some directly under their command and others indirectly influencing them. The specific arrangements depended on Onoki, the Tsuchikage!

Ultimately, the ninja village system has only existed for fifty years!

All systems are still in their infancy, and many of the divisions of labor and positions were created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Furthermore, the different geographical and cultural environments of each village must be taken into account, so the issues that need to be considered and dealt with will naturally vary greatly!

With Huang Tu, Date, and even Iwazawa absent, Shoji was overwhelmed trying to handle all these problems alone. While the roles of each member of the Jonin team were clearly defined, Shoji truly established his authority in Iwagakure after this great battle. With Onoki's endorsement, even those members of the Jonin team from various ninja clans dared not disobey Shoji's orders.

It can be said that the will of the commander was carried out almost 100%.

This allowed every task of the General's Office to proceed smoothly.

Even though there were bound to be some oversights at times, they were not significant and allowed the officers to accumulate more experience in government affairs. In a sense, they also grew a lot and gained a deeper understanding of Iwagakure!

Ohnoki, who witnessed all of this, was also very satisfied!

Regardless of who you choose to end up with years from now!

However, some issues related to training must be addressed ahead of schedule. Moreover, even if he ultimately had some selfish motives and wanted his son, Huang Tu, to succeed as the Fourth Tsuchikage, given the age difference of more than ten years between them, there is a high probability that Shoji could succeed as the Fifth Tsuchikage in the future!

Therefore, these arrangements do not seem abrupt at all; on the contrary, they are so natural and so thoughtful and perfect!

At least, that's how Onoki sees it!

Fifteen days passed quickly!

After Wenya led another group of rearranged Iwa ninja troops to the border area and relieved them of their duties!

Huang Tu, Yi Da, and Yan Zetsu officially led the main force of the Iwa ninja back to their village!

Start from the main gate of the village!

All the way up to the main street.

Under Onoki's orders, Iwagakure held a grand welcoming ceremony for their victorious 'heroes'!

"Oh, oh, oh, oh! Lord Loess!"

"Long live Iwagakure!!"

"Hahaha! Well done!"

"Long live!"

"Ida-san!"

"Jiangji-kun!"

Huang Tu, Date, and other well-known Iwa ninja all felt the cheers from the general public!

Even Shoji's name appears in it, although not as frequently as Huangtu or Date, which proves that Shoji has truly entered the hearts of these Iwagakure villagers!

They regarded the general as one of their own, as a hero of the village!

This is also because Shoji's achievements this time were too brilliant and perfect. He single-handedly broke through the defenses of the northern fortress of Sunagakure and defeated the Fourth Kazekage Rasa in a head-on duel. These achievements were impressive in themselves, not to mention the help of Onoki!

The fact that Shoji received such recognition and respect signifies that the Uchiha clan is gradually integrating into the village!

Four months!

This is a miraculous time.

Although this was the result of favorable timing, location, and various buffs, it should be noted that when the Tsukasa clan initially reached an agreement with Onoki and joined Iwagakure, it took at least two or three years for them to reach this point, and that was assuming no accidents occurred during that time!

I believe Ohnoki probably shares a similar view.

But unexpectedly, in just four months, their clan actually found a place to live in the village!

This refers not in an objective sense, but more in a subjective sense, to a place to "take refuge"!

All I can say is that it was all an unexpected twist of fate!

'But this unexpectedness is exactly the kind of unexpectedness I wanted to see!'

As was specially instructed by Onoki, he was not only to be a welcoming member, but also to be a general who would enter the village together and enjoy the treatment of a hero. He walked at the front of the procession, only half a body length behind Huang Tu, feeling the different enthusiasm and cheers of the ordinary people on both sides, and especially seeing the shining eyes of some children looking at him.

A smile of satisfaction and joy appeared on Jiang Si's face.

Because only in this way.

Only then will Jiang Si feel that all his efforts have not been in vain. Flowers, applause, cheers, and everyone's recognition are what Jiang Si has been tirelessly pursuing in the present moment!

Four months!

The Uchiha clan has truly ushered in their own rebirth!

With the official return of the main force of Iwagakure.

The turmoil in the ninja world also came to an end. The Fourth Shinobi World War, which had worried all the major and minor ninja villages, did not break out in the end. It was just a battle between Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Even if you take into account the time it took to sign the agreement and the retreat, the entire war was over.

It didn't even last a month!

The surrounding smaller countries no longer need to worry about being drawn into the aftermath of the great powers' conflict, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although they all knew very well that with the temperament, hatred, and interests of the five great powers, a major war was bound to break out sooner or later, wouldn't it be better to have a period of peace and enjoyment?
