The Great Hero Uchiha

Minato Namikaze snapped out of his daze and repeated the sentence in a daze.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

Uchiha Miyuki nodded.

"Yes! A single spark can start a prairie fire. When people with shared ideals come together, what can't they do?"

Getting carried away with the conversation, he couldn't help but add another sentence.

"By the way, if it's possible, could you please contact Jiraiya-sama?"

"What are we going to do? Unless we achieve something, Master won't come back to the village."

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head.

"I don't need Jiraiya-sama's vote, but I need Jiraiya-sama to help me collect some things during my travels."

"what?"

"Knowledge! Knowledge of growing food, and the characteristics of crops from all over the world!"

Only by mastering these things can we make the land grow more grain and make more places suitable for growing grain. Only when the grain harvest increases every year can more people afford to eat. Only then will we have surplus grain for disaster relief and keep grain prices at a level that people can afford.

Oh, and there's also knowledge about animal husbandry, which is related to whether people will eat well and stay warm in the future. In addition, animal husbandry can be developed in places that are not suitable for growing grain.

These are the most precious things we humans possess.

Minato Namikaze froze on the spot. He had initially thought that Miyuki Uchiha only had a vague ideal, but he never expected that Miyuki Uchiha already had a detailed plan.

"So, to have enough to eat and warm clothes, we need these things?"

The ninjas of this era thought like the Sage of Six Paths.

They always think of using ninjutsu to benefit all mankind, but they don't realize that the power of ninjutsu is ultimately a niche power. What can truly drive change in the world is the knowledge that is most easily overlooked.

Uchiha Miyuki continued speaking.

"Think about it, if everyone here can have enough to eat, wear, and live a good life, and if we all unite to form a deterrent, what will the other four great nations do? They won't be able to plunder us, so they'll just have to follow suit, right? At that time, everyone will be busy farming and raising livestock, and even if there are still some frictions, it will be difficult to be like it is now."

As people's lives improve, the cost of war increases, making it increasingly difficult to wage war.

War will not disappear completely, but it will transform into another form!

No matter how it evolves, war will never be like it is now, with us humans killing each other like wild beasts.

Minato Namikaze stared blankly, muttering to himself.

"The Child of Prophecy".

Just like his muttering to himself, Minato Namikaze was now certain that Uchiha Miyuki was the prophesied child his master had been searching for all along!

Only such people—

Only then can we bring true peace to the world!

"???"

Uchiha Miyuki was a little confused. How did he become the child of prophecy?!

"What prophetic child?"

"I'll go and inform the master right away."

"????"

Uchiha Miyuki stared blankly as Minato Namikaze disappeared like a flash of light.

While using the faint Yang Release power within him to repair his body, he continued to study the knowledge of barriers.

Three days later.

Minato Namikaze then brought Jiraiya to Miyuki Uchiha.

Jiraiya asked in a calm tone.

"Could you be more specific about what you're referring to? What exactly are you collecting?"

Uchiha Miyuki couldn't quite figure out what Jiraiya meant, but he still offered a rough explanation.

"It's detailed information on each type of grain crop, what kind of land, environment, and climate it's suitable for cultivation, and what the yield is like. The more detailed the data, the better. Oh, and there's also pest control and cultivation techniques. I don't know the specifics, so you can ask those old farmers for advice, Jiraiya-sama."

After the war ends, we can organize these materials and, using this knowledge, try promoting them on a small scale in some areas.

If it proves effective, the cultivated area can be gradually expanded.

Jiraiya nodded.

"Yes, I'll take care of this for you."

After saying that, he got up and walked outside, but stopped at the door.

"If you run for Hokage, I will come back and vote for you. If you have any problems in the future, you can have Minato contact me directly. If necessary, I will consider returning to the village to help you."

Uchiha Miyuki was somewhat speechless.

With Jiraiya's team, he was one step closer to becoming Hokage, but... he never imagined that he would become Konoha's biggest parasite so early.

The master and apprentice stepped out of the tent.

Minato Namikaze asked, somewhat confused.

"Master, he should be the child of prophecy, and you're just leaving like this?"

Jiraiya shook his head.

“His appearance does not match the content of the prophecy. The prophecy says that the prophesied son is my disciple. With his strength, he no longer needs to become my disciple. If it were just a nominal master and disciple, the prophecy would not have emphasized taking on disciples. Obviously, the real prophesied son grew up under my tutelage.”

"But I think his ideas can indeed bring about change in the world."

“I felt the same way, so I came.”

He paused for a moment, then added on his own.

"Let's be prepared for both possibilities! We can't abandon the matter of the Child of Prophecy. There won't be any conflict between the two sides. I feel at ease with you here."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

"I understand what to do."

Before they knew it, half a year had passed since they met Jiraiya.

During this period, sporadic small battles occurred from time to time, but there was no major friction. Iwagakure no longer organized any resistance and almost always withdrew its troops whenever Konoha's main force approached. It was not until Iwagakure's reinforcements arrived that the situation was stabilized, and the two sides were deadlocked in the area near the border of the Land of Grass.

Uchiha Miyuki did nothing but study barrier knowledge every day, and inexplicably became the commander-in-chief of Konoha on the battlefield in the Land of Grass.

However, the frontline war between Konoha and Iwagakure is not limited to the Land of Grass, but also includes the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Frost.

P.S.: 100 monthly tickets, 100 razor blades, and 10,000 in donations.

Bonus chapter.

Today's plan is tentatively two chapters.

He'll probably find reasons to add more chapters.

116. Future plans

Uchiha Miyuki's ideas and philosophies spread like wildfire throughout Konoha, and their influence was no longer limited to the battlefield of the Land of Grass.

Along with it spread the power of the kaleidoscope!

And Asuma's Ninja Legend!

This is almost an inseparable part of the story. Whenever Uchiha Miyuki is mentioned, one cannot avoid mentioning Sarutobi Asuma, the "Darkness of Sunagakure." From a young age, he was skilled in scheming. When he realized his teammates' amazing talents, he devised a three-year plan that was almost flawless, causing Sunagakure to suffer a great loss.

Even the forced surrender of Sunagakure to Konoha was orchestrated by the "Darkness of Sunagakure" hidden behind the scenes.

Rumors are circulating in Konoha that the higher-ups of Iwagakure have issued an order.

In the future, if Iwagakure ninjas encounter the "Darkness of Sunagakure" while on a mission, they should cancel the mission, return to the village to report, and give the village enough time to react, thus guarding against the opponent's terrifying schemes that are as deep as an abyss.

Uchiha Miyuki was unsure whether such an order was actually given.

However, one thing is clear.

Although Asuma himself was not active in the ninja world, his legend was still passed down in the ninja world!

Other than that.

Minato Namikaze reported something to him.

"Iwagakure denounces the current Daimyo of the Land of Grass for his cruelty and inhumanity. They sent troops to the Land of Grass because they were hired by a descendant of the royal family."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Miyuki couldn't help but sigh.

"The ideology of war has changed."

In the past, large countries would never need such a fig leaf when they sent troops to small countries. However, for the past six months, the Konoha ninjas have labeled them as evil, unjust, and invaders. They have been criticized by the Konoha ninjas on moral grounds. The morale of the Iwagakure troops has begun to waver. No normal person wants to be labeled as evil, but Iwagakure was unprepared and had never seen such a situation before.

After preparing for half a year, he finally came up with a strategy to make his military expedition legitimate.

Everyone had been listening to Uchiha Miyuki talk about "war ideology," and while they could roughly understand its meaning, they didn't understand the significance of this change.

Does this change have any special significance?

Uchiha Miyuki thought for a moment before speaking.

"With such a great principle in mind, the ninjas of Iwagakure know what they are doing, which also restrains some of them so that they will no longer act recklessly as in the past, and at least they will find a way to cover up their behavior."

While it won't completely change the behavior of all the ninjas in Iwagakure, it would be a win if it could even slightly change the behavior of one or two people.

"Is there any action by Iwagakure?"

"No."

Uchiha Miyuki hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The people of Kusagakure should continue to spread the word about the atrocities committed by Iwagakure among the people. As long as they care about their reputation, they will restrain the behavior of their own ninja. This kind of thing is very low cost to us. As long as we can influence the thoughts of one or two Iwagakure ninjas, the civilians in the Land of Grass will suffer less."

Several Jonin from Kusagakure immediately nodded solemnly.

Uchiha Miyuki then continued to inquire.

"Is there any action by the Hidden Cloud Village?"

Although Uchiha Miyuki did not explicitly state it, everyone knew that the action he was referring to was whether Kumogakure had already launched an attack on Sunagakure.
