Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

Uchiha Xiao shook his head and said, "We are all serving the villagers. There is no need to congratulate them." Uchiha Xiao said this politely and was greeted with cheers from the villagers.

"Always take my sister!"

"Always bring your sister with you!"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. It must be said that Uchiha Owl was very powerful. With just one sentence, he mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers. Combined with his previous actions, he immediately won 90% of the public opinion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became serious. "Uchiha Owl, I, the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am asking you, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the village, to burn yourself, to illuminate the direction of Konoha, to dedicate your life to everyone!"

"I, Uchiha Owl, am willing to inherit the will of our ancestors, be proud of Konoha's prosperity and ashamed of Konoha's decline. I will sacrifice myself, burn myself, and dedicate myself to make Konoha the largest village in the ninja world!" Uchiha Owl said firmly.

The villagers gasped. They originally thought that today was just a formality, but they didn't expect Uchiha Xiao to make such a vow. To be the largest village in the ninja world, what a grand wish!

The young man's eyes were filled with passion and fighting spirit, eager to join the battlefield and serve the village. The old man smiled, thinking that this was the way it should be. Konoha should be the largest village!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little dazed, obviously not expecting Uchiha Owl to say that. He was stunned for three seconds, then coughed twice and said, "Where Konoha dances, the fire will also continue. I hope you can take on the responsibility of Hokage and bring prosperity to Konoha!"

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the Hokage's hat and held it in both hands. Uchiha Owl lowered his head. Sarutobi Hiruzen put the hat on Uchiha Owl with satisfaction and relief in his eyes.

He felt a lightness on his shoulders. From this moment on, the responsibility of Konoha Village was handed over to Uchiha Owl!

Uchiha Owl raised his head and bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't let us down."

We? Uchiha Xiao immediately realized that they were referring to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Senju Tobirama.

Uchiha Xiao nodded, "Of course!" After getting the answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked down slowly from the platform, each step was so slow.

Uchiha Xiao turned and looked at the villagers, "Uchiha Xiao will live up to everyone's expectations!" After that, he raised his arms and shouted, "Long live Konoha, long live the villagers!

The villagers cheered, happy that the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Owl, had succeeded.

"Long live Konoha, long live the Hokage!"

"Long live Konoha, long live the Hokage!"

……

After the succession ceremony ended, Uchiha Owl was taken to the Hokage's office by the former Anbu, and sat on the throne that once belonged to Sarutobi Hiruzen to review and approve documents.

At noon, Uchiha Xiao summoned all the major families and civilian representatives of the village to hold his first meeting since taking office.

This time, everyone was there. Uchiha Xiao sat in his seat, his head down, reviewing things without saying a word, as if he was the only one in the office.

The patriarchs of the major families frowned, not understanding what Uchiha Xiao was going to do, to intimidate them? No, based on their understanding of Uchiha Xiao, he was not that kind of person!

It was not until the two Hokage assistants, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, opened the door and walked in that Uchiha Oshibi paused, then raised his head with a cold look in his eyes, which made the hearts of the clan heads present tighten.

They came for the two former Third Hokage assistants! Some people lowered their heads, not daring to look at Uchiha Owl, some stared at Uchiha Owl, and some looked at Utane Koharu and Mitomon En with a gloating look.

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En's heart trembled, and they forced themselves to cheer up.

"Hey, our two Hokage assistants are here! Hurry up and arrange seats for them." Uchiha Xiao said to the Anbu with a smile.

Everyone looked a little strange, not understanding what Uchiha Xiao was going to do, but it was obviously better not to speak at this time.

"You don't have to be so polite, Hokage-sama."

"Yeah, everyone is doing this for Konoha."

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En acted in a very organized way, as if it was the right thing for Uchiha Owl to do.

"Haha." Uchiha Xiao sneered, "The two Hokage assistants have worked hard for Konoha. Thank you for your hard work. The work during this period is enough to demonstrate your strong abilities. However, with great abilities comes great responsibilities."

"Therefore, I hope that you two can select 300 ninjas from your families to serve as spies for my village. I believe that the two Assistant Hokage are highly respected and will definitely not have any objection, right?" Uchiha Xiao's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the chests of the two men.

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En's faces turned pale. They were furious! Who knew that Uchiha Owl would praise them first, and then ask them to send their family ninjas to do undercover missions the next second!

You should know that the mortality rate of undercover missions reached 90%, and most of these missions were done by civilian ninjas and orphans of the battlefield. Now, ninjas from their two clans were asked to do it.

Isn't this clearly asking the two families to bleed and die?

The expressions of the other families changed and they looked at Uchiha Xiao. They knew that Uchiha Xiao was different from the Third Hokage. He kept his word and if he asked you to go, you had to go.

"Why! Uchiha Owl, you are harming your fellow villagers!" Utane Koharu roared.

Mitomon En's face darkened. "That's right, everyone knows that this mission has the highest mortality rate, and our ninjas are basically adults, so the risk of being undercover is greatly increased!"

"You are clearly sending our ninjas to their deaths!" Utane Koharu was furious.

"Haha, being an undercover agent is risky? The mortality rate is high? Is this the reason why you're shrinking back? Whose family doesn't have casualties? Whose family hasn't been an undercover agent? Could it be that in your eyes, the Tatene family and the Mitomon family are noble?" Uchiha Xiao criticized the two of them from the commanding heights of justice.

Nara Luming's eyes lit up, "Hokage-sama is right. The two Hokages assist us, please consider the overall situation!"

Ino-Shika-Chou has long been in cahoots with the Uchiha clan. No, it's not the same thing, it's them working together. No, it's not the same thing, it's them working together.

Although I don’t know why Uchiha Owl wants two Hokage to assist him at this moment, Nara Rokumei just wants to support Uchiha Owl.

"Haha, Chief Nara is right. We should prioritize the overall situation. So please ask the two Hokage to assist and quickly select someone. If you can't choose, I will choose for you."

"The wind is strong in the bed, the Mito gate is clear, the bed is in the bed according to the heart, the Mito gate is fighting..." Every time Uchiha Xiao read a person's name, the two people's faces turned paler.

"He knows, he knows everything!" Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet.

Look at the stupid things these two have done. They think that by tarnishing Uchiha Owl's reputation, they can prevent Uchiha Owl from being elected Hokage.

It's a joke. Uchiha Owl was appointed by the Second Hokage and supported by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Why do Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En think they can change these people's minds?

Chapter 229 Punishment and Reward

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En were sweating profusely. They had not expected that Uchiha Oshige was so omnipotent that he could investigate the matter thoroughly in just one morning.

They had never expected that his revenge would come so quickly, leaving them unable to refute for a moment. At this moment, they could only kneel on the ground and beg Uchiha Xiao to spare their family's lives.

If the entire family were to go undercover, regardless of whether it would succeed, even if it did, by the time the undercover agents completed their mission and returned to Konoha, the family's inheritance would probably have been cut off.

"What? Weren't the two elders very arrogant just now? Now you back down when talking about contributing to Konoha?" Uchiha Xiao said lightly.

"We dare not, please show mercy, sister Yongdai!" Mizuto Menyan spoke first. At this moment, he didn't care about his demeanor and temperament. The most important thing was to keep his people alive.

Uchiha Xiao glanced at Mizuto Menen, who lowered his head even deeper. At this moment, he had given up the dignity of the elders and only wanted to protect his clan members.

Looking at Utane Koharu again, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, biting her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, and looked at Uchiha Owl. Uchiha Owl snorted coldly and was about to make the decision.

At this moment, Utatane Koharu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Please show some mercy, Hokage-sama. The Utatane family has been in Konoha for so many years. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard. We must not do this undercover thing!"

Uchiha Owl's fingers, as green as scallions, tapped rhythmically on the table. No one in the Hokage's office dared to stand up and accuse Uchiha Owl or plead for the two Hokage assistants.

Instead, everyone focused their attention on Uchiha Owl. They wanted to know how Uchiha Owl would deal with this matter in the end.

For a moment, the office was silent, with only the sound of Uchiha Owl knocking on the table.

thump, thump, thump

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the next moment, the sound of finger tapping disappeared. Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up, and a confident smile appeared on his face. He smiled slightly and said, "Please stand up quickly, both of you. I was just joking."

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En looked at each other, not daring to stand up. They knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

Are you kidding? That was a joke. Uchiha Xiao's murderous intent was almost solidified at that time. How could it be a joke?

Then I heard Uchiha Xiao mutter, "Alas, now that I have just taken office as Hokage, the first thing I think is education. The buildings and facilities of the old ninja school are too old..."

Utatane Koharu's eyes lit up, "Hokage-sama, my Utatane family is willing to be responsible for the reconstruction and renovation of the school!"

Uchiha Xiao smiled and nodded, but hesitated. "Elder Tsunetsugu, is this too much trouble for you?"

When Utane Koharu heard that there was a chance, she quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble. My Utane family has quite a bit of experience in construction. Leave the renovation of the school to us!" As she spoke, Utane Koharu patted her non-existent chest and said confidently.

Mizutomon Yan gritted his teeth. Damn it, he let this old guy get ahead of him. He had to quickly figure out the role of the Mizutomon family. As long as the clan members could stay in the village, everything would be fine.

"But building a school is a huge expense, and Konoha is poor." Uchiha Owl pretended to be embarrassed and sighed, but in fact he was glancing at Mito Menyan out of the corner of his eye.

Mitomon En's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "The Mitomon family is quite wealthy and is willing to bear all the expenses of rebuilding the ninja school!"

The local rich man is just arrogant. At this moment, Uchiha Xiao couldn't help but be amazed. He didn't expect that the Mito family was so rich.

When Nara Luming saw Uchiha Owl's actions, he couldn't help but sigh, it was simply amazing, he was able to order the reconstruction of the campus without spending a penny, and people even contributed money and manpower.

I still have a long way to go, I have to keep learning! Nara Luming looked at Uchiha Xiao with fear and awe in his eyes.

"In that case, please make preparations early and start work tomorrow." Uchiha Xiao said slowly.

Mito Menen and Utane Koharu quickly agreed. Uchiha Owl waved his hand, and the two stood aside, breathing a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt grateful for Uchiha Owl's kindness.

People are like this. If you treat her well all the time, she won't appreciate it. After a long time, she will think it's her due.

And Uchiha Xiao wants to break the status quo of these two people, make them realize their own identities and put themselves in the right position.

The art of controlling people is not just about being kind and benevolent. This will only make people think you are a goody-goody who can be bullied.

The most important thing is to use both kindness and force, among which kindness is secondary and force is the core. Why is there a proverb that goes "give a slap in the face and then a sweet date"?

The reason behind this is nothing more than this. Perhaps in the past, Uchiha Owl was the deputy Hokage. As the elder Uchiha, he would not be too harsh on veterans like Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

But from today on, he is the Hokage, the head of Konoha Village, and he must be serious.

Don't say that doing so is unjust, ridiculous, lamentable, and sad.

As Uchiha Xiao's tactic of suppressing first and then praising was used, the authorities were thankful for his kindness, while the onlookers were shocked and sighed at his good tactic.

"In addition to rebuilding the ninja school, there are also the following appointment notices. Please cooperate actively."

"Hyuga Akagi of the Hyuga family has been nominated as the Hokage's assistant, in charge of Konoha Hospital. Nara Rokumei has been nominated as the Hokage's assistant, in charge of the Hokage's government affairs. Akimichi Torikaze will contract Konoha School and food for public officials. Yamanaka Unkai will be in charge of Konoha's intelligence department, and any disturbance will be reported to the Hokage..." Uchiha Xiao issued one appointment after another.

Whether it was Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, or Yamanaka, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly bowed and praised, "We will live up to the cultivation of the Fourth Hokage, and devote ourselves to the public good, devoting our own strength to the prosperity of Konoha."

Uchiha Xiao smiled and nodded. These families were on good terms with Uchiha Xiao. Since Uchiha Xiao took office as Hokage today, he must reward them and give them status and authority.

Why else would people support you? Because you're so arrogant? Because you don't shower? In this regard, Uchiha Owl is better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not consider the big families in the village, but only considered his comrades. This could certainly achieve the goal of centralization, but he did not consider the feelings of those powerful families.

Why are rubbish ninja clans like Utane and Mitomon able to hold such great power, while we big families can only watch them abuse our power?

Just because no one mentioned it before doesn’t mean that the major families don’t have any grudges.

Now, the appointment of Uchiha Owl has immediately broken this situation. The Uchiha clan, as well as the Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan and other families have gained real power and voice.

It also gave other originally neutral families hope, that is, to follow Uchiha Owl, the rewards would be huge!

Uchiha Xiao looked at the people he had just appointed and smiled, "I believe in the abilities of each of you clan leaders. I hope you will not forget your original intentions and keep your mission in mind."
