Konoha.
Ten days have passed since the fight ended.
The ruins were cleared and the terrain was restored.
Besides the trench cleaved open by the Kagami Uchiha, the gushing of groundwater transformed it into a long, narrow lake.
A cleared area was set up with many tents as temporary shelters, and wisps of smoke could be seen rising from the chimneys.
Some might say that it was unnecessary to go to such lengths, and that there was no need to destroy Konoha.
But Kagami Uchiha doesn't think so.
Or rather, this was the simplest way in his view.
Reforming a person is far more difficult than killing them, and the same applies to Konoha.
With his own strength and wisdom, Kagami Uchiha could easily unite with Minato and others, and coordinate with each clan to peacefully take over Konoha.
But...
This requires far too much time and effort.
Even after half a year of good talk, sometimes it's not as effective as holding a knife to your throat for ten seconds.
Only when they witness the true difference in strength will they abandon their unrealistic fantasies.
That way, we won't encounter any unpleasant incidents like so-called rebels.
This is a gentleness unique to Kagami Uchiha.
Sitting atop Hashirama Senju's Face Rock, Kagami Uchiha looked at the revitalized village and felt quite pleased.
His purpose has never changed.
He wanted his family, friends, and children to live in a peaceful place.
The village exists to protect those who are important to us.
It doesn't mean that important people can be sacrificed to protect the village.
Maintaining a business is more difficult than starting one.
Back then, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, working together, could have unified the entire Shinobi World.
This might be... the only common topic that Uchiha Madara and Tobirama Senju could have.
On this point, Hashirama Senju had a different opinion.
He chose to distribute the Tailed Beast to balance the power of the various villages.
Since things have come to this point, there's no need to dwell on right or wrong.
Taking down Konoha isn't difficult; the challenge lies in maintaining it.
Kagami Uchiha knew that he had now become the target of everyone's hatred, that is, an enemy of the whole world.
There's nothing we can do about it.
He needs sufficient external pressure to break through his limits with the help of Sukuna.
To quietly grow into the strongest, and then suddenly unify the Shinobi World?
Not to mention this life, even in his past life Kagami Uchiha never had such a dream.
The path to becoming stronger is inevitably traceable, taking one step at a time, and ascending to higher levels through confrontations with stronger individuals at the same level.
The original course of events is no longer traceable, Kagami Uchiha has assumed that everyone else in the Shinobi World is his enemy.
Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, the Four Great Nations, Nagato, Obito... and even Hashirama Senju, who might return.
Orochimaru is a smart guy; I bet his first step will be to Impure World Reincarnation Tobirama Senju...
At this moment, Kagami Uchiha is very clear that he is probably the strongest in the Shinobi World, but there is still the Pure Land, and...
He looked into the distance; the weather today meant that the moon was faintly visible even during the day.
Grayish-white, not very noticeable.
Unfortunately Kagami Uchiha can't reach the moon right now.
Putting aside Kaguya Otsutsuki, at this point in time, Otsutsuki Toneri might have just been born, and his father was definitely not dead.
I remember his father even brought Toneri down to the mortal world to see Hinata, and they arranged a one-sided betrothal.
There are still many troubles...
Forget it, I'll at least rest for half a day today and not think about anything.
Kagami Uchiha lay on the Face Rock Hashirama, his hands clasped behind his head. He could hear the clanging and banging of stones, and a gentle breeze ruffled his hair.
As the camera zooms out, the faces of Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi have been chiseled off next to the Face Rock of Hashirama Senju.
From a distance, it reveals the prototype of Face Rock with long, spiky hair.
This is an inevitable part of a change of dynasty.
The Uchiha Clan does not acknowledge the identities of Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hashirama Senju, you are indeed awesome. You defeated us and we admit defeat.
In the beginning, the Uchiha Clan did lose to the Senju Clan, but now the Uchiha have won back a match, making it a 1-1 tie.
We won't touch Hashirama Senju's Face Rock, but adding Uchiha Madara's Face Rock isn't too much to ask, right?
This place is no longer called the Hokage Rock, but the Founders' Rock Konoha.
Kagami Uchiha had only been resting for a short time when he sensed a creature approaching. The sound was like a soft, fleshy footstep on a rock.
It's not even as loud as the sound of fat shaking.
"Kagami-sama, are you asleep, meow?"
Revolver walked upright like a person, wearing a slightly dirty cat apron around its chest, its paws gripping a hammer and axe, and a bunch of tools hanging from its waist.
"What is it now?"
Kagami Uchiha's tone was quite impatient; this was the third time Revolver had come to see him today.
Revolver's fat trembled with fright, and he said timidly, "The Second Construction Team of the Construction Department told me... that they're running out of timber..."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Kagami Uchiha pointed to the outer edge of Konoha and said, "Are you blind?! Aren't those just pieces of wood?!"
"But... but..." Revolver was almost crying.
"When we wanted to cut down trees, the Forest Conservation Department wouldn't let us, meow..."
Kagami Uchiha scratched the back of his head, glaring fiercely at Revolver: "I'm warning you, next time something like this happens, go find Minato Namikaze! He's the Hokage! Let him coordinate the work of all departments!"
Brush.
Let's talk Hokage Hokage.
Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, "Minister Revolver, trees that are felled directly cannot be used as building materials; they need to be dried for at least a few months."
Yes, Revolver is currently the Minister of the Construction Department of Konoha, leading many Ninja Cat from the Land of Cats in the reconstruction work.
Kagami Uchiha frowned; he really didn't know anything about this.
Sure enough, my brain isn't suited for management; it's too much trouble. I'm pretty self-aware of that.
Kagami Uchiha glanced at Revolver: "I didn't realize you, you stupid cat, would betray me first."
Revolver was truly heartbroken this time.
"I don't know! They've been rushing me... Meow~"
"Alright, get back to work and stop escalating the issue. I'm very busy, you know?"
Revolver feeling very aggrieved.
Minato Namikaze turned his gaze back from Revolver figure and gave a wry smile, "It's not Revolver's fault. I had too many things to do, and he couldn't find me either."
"Jing, there's a big problem with the reconstruction of the village right now, and I have to tell you about it."
Kagami Uchiha nodded, signaling Minato to continue.
"Apart from the Konoha Cemetery, other places have suffered varying degrees of damage, many of them even completely destroyed..."
As he spoke, Minato's eyes held a hint of resentment.
After all, the person in front of us is the one who started it all.
"Other things are manageable, but the hospital must be built immediately, medical equipment needs to be purchased, and food can only be sustained in the short term; it will become a major problem in the long run."
Kagami Uchiha frowned slightly. "Didn't we send someone to make that old bastard Daimyo hand over the money?"
Minato stared at Kagami Uchiha, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.
Jing understood.
"This old man won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin; he can't tell the difference between the king and the prince anymore..."
Kagami Uchiha turned cold.
"I'll go there. If they don't listen, I'll change their name until they do."
