The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

In addition, Sunagakure also carried out the final cleanup work for this war.

Even though the battle was ultimately reversed, Maga's act of killing a Konoha special Jonin is still commendable.

In response, the Sand Village leadership made an exception and promoted Maga to Special Jonin, and also gave him a great reward.

Hmm, the reward is... gold dust? And it's not something I can get immediately? Do I have to wait a few months?

Well, okay, Sunagakure is really broke.

The gold dust awarded as a reward will likely be refined by the Third Kazekage himself.

"What a pitiful village..."

However, despite his sympathy, Maga would not give up the reward he deserved.

Gold dust, that's a very valuable metal.

Outside, a pile of gold dust the size of a fist would cost a million taels!

And the reward that Maga received was a pile the size of a human head!

An income of tens of millions of taels!

Only Sunagakure Village could use gold dust as a reward.

"I'm so poor that all I have left is gold dust."

Maga did not intend to sell these rewards for money.

Gold dust, also known as sand gold, is a special metal extracted from sand using Magnet Release techniques by successive Kazekage. Adding a small amount to a weapon can significantly increase its hardness and sharpness.

Due to their varying levels of mastery of Magnet Release, the gold dust refined by the different Kazekage for combat may differ in purity. However, the gold dust used for trading and as rewards all adheres to standards and can be directly used to forge weapons.

With this batch of gold dust, Maga planned to forge a weapon—no, not just one, but several.

It's not built for myself, but rather from earth and stone.

Make a few more kunai.

Whether used as a weapon or a replacement, it is of great use to him.

Although gold dust is not a chakra metal and cannot achieve perfect chakra transmission, its ability to transmit chakra is still quite good.

A good kunai can also enhance the Substitution Technique.

Whether it's the amount of sealed chakra that can be stored in the kunai or the way the chakra conduction helps with perception, both can have a positive effect on the Substitution Technique.

According to Maka's calculations, the kunai he would forge with gold dust and refined iron would at least increase the maximum range of the Earth-Stone Substitution Body by three times.

Tsuchishi's next task is somewhat difficult: to steal a secret technique from Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, which also suffered almost no losses in this war!

It would be necessary to add some life-saving measures for them.

At the same time, Maka began to think further about his goal of infiltrating Sunagakure.

The technique of reincarnation is still a long way off, at least twenty years away. So in the meantime, could we consider other actions?

For example, placer gold.

The price of gold dust inside Sunagakure Village is much lower than outside!

Even the rewards for many tasks are partially replaced by gold dust, in order to alleviate the village's financial burden.

Now that he has come to Sunagakure and become a member of the village without any suspicion, and has even made contributions in the recent war, it will be much easier for Maga to obtain gold dust.

"It would be foolish not to cherish such an opportunity."

That's settled then. Before I am reborn, my goal is gold dust!

If possible, try nurturing some of the gold dust to see if it can be transformed into chakra metal.

Therefore, the basic course of action for Maka's clone became clear: to earn money for the expenses of Uchiha Kiyoshi's main body and clone, thus providing financial support to the organization.

Konoha and Sunagakure have both entered a period of post-war recuperation and development.

And so, after the Second Shinobi World War, the shinobi world ushered in a long-awaited peace.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was cultivating and researching at his base, and during this time, his theory on spiritual energy was constantly being improved through explanations of various related phenomena.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also entered the development stage of further training in nature transformation.

Each of the clones also has its own specific role.

While Maka was making money in Sunagakure, Tsuchishi was busy preparing for the infiltration of Iwagakure. At the same time, the two of them did not forget to gather intelligence and regularly pass it on to their main body.

In the previous version, the other two clones, who did not meet the conditions for casting the Annihilation and Resurrection Technique, were also carrying out their own tasks.

The clone from the Land of Rain wanders the Land of Rain, honing his skills, ready to join the Akatsuki organization at any time and fight for the peace of the ninja world!

The Konoha clones were gathering information about Konoha, but they couldn't relay it out.

However, it will be soon. Before long, when Uchiha Kiyoshi's main body is less busy, he will upgrade and replace these two clones.

After the war, the number of ninjas decreased significantly, and Konoha implemented strategies to address this.

Encourage childbirth.

Especially for Konoha ninjas, their descendants have a higher chance of becoming ninjas themselves. Therefore, the village provides subsidies to the families of children born in the following years, and if they have ninja talent, they will receive additional subsidies.

Therefore, whether they were ninjas who had come from the battlefield or those who had not gone to the front lines, they actively responded to the village's call to have more children.

Of course, these were the majority of ninjas, but they were all at the chuunibyou (lower-middle) level.

The truly high-ranking, powerful ninjas began having offspring before or during the war.

This is the gap between information and status.

High-ranking ninjas could know the approximate time of the war in advance and make preparations accordingly. Those without offspring would also make preparations before the war broke out in order to ensure the continuation of their bloodline.

These are the reactions of the Jonin who knew they were among the first to go to the front lines.

The Jonin who went to the battlefield later on all completed the same preparations before heading to the battlefield.

Take, for example, Sakumo Hatake.

He joined the battle midway through.

Before heading to the front lines, Kakashi was already pregnant.

In other words, the outstanding offspring of ninjas were born before the end of the war, and those who were meant to be pregnant were pregnant.

This leads to the discovery that after the war, when Konoha promoted childbirth, there were almost no high-ranking ninjas left.

Many of the babies born after the war were actually descendants of low-ranking ninjas, or simply descendants of commoners.

Of course, this doesn't mean that no ordinary ninja descendants were born during wartime. Rin Nohara and Might Guy are examples.

As for why the descendants of ordinary ninjas, among those born before the end of the war, included Might Guy and Rin Nohara, who later achieved great things, while those born after the war were mostly mediocre, this is not mentioned in the original work, and it is something that the clone does not know.

Perhaps this is a great era, with genius ninjas being born in clusters at the same time?

Who knows?

Chapter 141 Conflicts Abound

In the 37th year of Konoha, the Second Shinobi World War ended, and the shinobi world entered a period of relative peace.

The three main participants in the war—Amegakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure—began to recuperate and quietly recover from the losses inflicted by the war.

Even though the three major ninja villages of Konoha had lost a lot of manpower in the war, the other ninja villages did not take advantage of the situation.

At first, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also quite puzzled, but as news continued to come from Maga's side, he understood the reason.

Maga was appreciated by Sunagakure and thrived in Sunagakure. As the war ended, he gradually learned more about the situation.

Before the war ended, this information might have been classified, but now that the war is over and there's no large-scale war expected in the near future, this intelligence isn't as important. This is why Maga, a newly promoted special jonin, was able to find out about it.

While the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Rain were engaged in the Second Shinobi World War, other countries were not idle either.

First are the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

During this period, the two great powers clashed constantly, and the village's strength was somewhat depleted, though not by much, but it was no longer at its peak.

Moreover, the Land of Earth had also engaged in a small-scale war with the Land of Rain, since it was directly adjacent to their territory. With the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind both at war, it was impossible for the Land of Earth not to send troops.

Actually, the losses of the three major nations in the Land of Rain were roughly the same at the beginning. The difference lay in the decisive battle between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire. After that, the Land of Rain surrendered and did not fight the other two major nations again, so Konoha suffered more losses in this regard.

Furthermore, the subsequent war between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind resulted in even greater losses for both nations.

It was at this time that a small-scale conflict occurred between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, resulting in minor losses on both sides.

Therefore, the condition of Iwagakure was not much better than that of Konoha and Sunagakure after the war.

Although the Land of Lightning only fought the Land of Earth later on, the situation wasn't much better.

During the peace period following World War I, while other ninja villages were developing vigorously, Kumogakure experienced some minor internal strife due to the conflict between Kinkaku and Ginkaku. After the Third Raikage quelled the unrest, the village had already lost a significant amount of strength, and its development in recent years had lagged behind that of the other villages.

In addition, shortly before the outbreak of the war, there was a huge chakra reaction in the direction of Kumogakure. It is said that the Third Raikage fought a huge eight-tailed monster at that time, and Kumogakure suffered a great blow.

In other words, the situation in Kumogakure is not much better than that in Konoha.

The Eight-Tails is second only to the Nine-Tails among the tailed beasts. The village was ravaged by the Eight-Tails for a while, and even though the Third Raikage was suppressing the Eight-Tails the whole time, the village must have suffered heavy losses.

Similar to the Land of Lightning, the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water had also suffered significant losses in its own power before the war.

Two years before the start of World War II, Kirigakure gathered several small ninja villages to launch a war of annihilation against the Land of Whirlpools. They were met with fierce resistance from the Uzumaki clan. Although they eventually succeeded in destroying the Land of Whirlpools, the losses were quite heavy. In addition, the Land of Water was separated from the Shinobi World by the ocean, so it had no intention of sending troops.

"In other words, the five great ninja villages have all suffered some losses, which is why no other ninja villages intervened after the decisive battle between Konoha and Sunagakure."

"The war is over. After a while, when everyone's nerves are less tense, I can simply disguise myself and walk the ninja world again."

The earthwork operation can also proceed at that time.

"Oh. Right, and there's Danzo from Konoha. We should find some trouble for him when we have time. I heard Danzo was involved in Hanzo's participation in the battle. Since Danzo has performed such a great service, the Third Hokage should restore a lot of his power."

The thought of all the trouble he had caused Danzo, and how his good days had returned so quickly, made Uchiha Kiyoshi feel extremely uncomfortable.

"No, we can't let Danzo get away with this!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi decided that the next time he went out, he would definitely go and cause trouble for Danzo!

Hmm, we can also take some of the original cells while we're at it.

"Hehe, the First Hokage's cells were taken from Danzo. I wonder how serious that crime is."
