Madara Uchiha: The Food at the Factory Is Fantastic!

"Lord Hokage!!"

Before anyone even entered the room, Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan a crisp "snap" as the door to his office was opened.

High ponytail, blonde hair, wearing a green training uniform. Chest and forehead. Unremarkable; not yet in the rapid growth phase.

"Lord Hokage, Tsunade insisted on coming along. I couldn't stop her."

Orochimaru was somewhat helpless; he really couldn't control Tsunade. When Tsunade saw Orochimaru, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, returning to school Jiraiya taking that idiot Jiraiya to see the Lord Hokage at noon, she volunteered to come along too.

Tsunade Konoha: the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, Daimyo princess personally bestowed upon her by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Once she's made up her mind, Orochimaru can't possibly dissuade her.

"Fine, let them come. Tsunade used to come to this office all the time anyway."

Uchiha Nan waved his hand. It was quite a unique feature of Konoha that the trio of gambling, prostitution, and drugs could be together. His office was inherited from the Hashirama Senju brothers, Tobirama Senju. Tsunade might be more familiar with this building than he was.

"Yay! Lord Hokage, your place is even more comfortable than my great-uncle's and my grandfather's!"

Tsunade casually sat down on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the snacks on Uchiha Nan's coffee table. For the past two days, Kaede and Rin had been fighting Uchiha Nan every day. Although Uchiha Nan was fighting two against one, a ninja is a ninja, and an ordinary person is an ordinary person; victory was inevitable for Uchiha Nan. Kaede and Rin hadn't come to the Hokage Building for several mornings, but the usual desserts and snacks in Uchiha Nan's office hadn't stopped appearing every day.

"Lord Hokage...!" (in a coquettish voice)

"Eat... eat!"

Uchiha Nan rested her chin on her hands, looking at the playful Tsunade. The difference between the young Tsunade and the grumpy old woman from Hokage Shippuden was truly striking. So adorable.

With Uchiha Nan's permission, Tsunade happily picked up a small cake and began eating it by herself. Uchiha Nan looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya. Orochimaru stood there calmly, awaiting Uchiha Nan's instructions; he and Uchiha Nan were already quite familiar. They were often seen arguing and using foul language in the underground laboratory. The image of Uchiha Nan Konoha a powerful figure in Tobirama Senju had been almost completely eroded.

Jiraiya, on the other hand Jiraiya, stood there meekly like a lackey, much like Uchiha Nan's first encounter with Jiraiya.

"Orochimaru, I asked you to teach Jiraiya the Summoning Technique. How's his learning going?"

"He hasn't learned it yet... Jiraiya's Chakra reserves aren't high enough. His Chakra control is poor, Hand Seals aren't proficient."

Orochimaru solemnly reported on Jiraiya's study progress; Jiraiya had acted like an idiot throughout the morning's study session.

Uchiha Nan subconsciously scratched his head and looked at Jiraiya. Jiraiya was still a student. The theoretical and practical lessons taught at the school were very basic. Ninja Academy students mainly focused on refining Chakra, practicing Shuriken Hand Seals, and throwing shuriken. The teaching revolved around these basic ninja skills. Upon graduation, if one learned the Transformation Technique, the Clone Technique, and the Substitution Technique, one could be considered a rookie Genin. Geniuses like Kakashi were still too rare.

Summoning Technique is considered a relatively advanced Ninjutsu. Jiraiya is still grinding away at Chakra. Water Walking and tree climbing are probably just basic skills for him.

"Lord Hokage, I... I..."

Jiraiya stammered in his answer, his pride severely wounded. In just one morning, Orochimaru had completely humiliated Jiraiya. Orochimaru, trained by the renowned Tobirama Senju Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, who had just been playing house at the Ninja Academy, were no longer competitors.

"Don't be discouraged... Jiraiya, your potential is far greater than you imagine. You just need time to hone your skills and a little bit of luck. You will become a great ninja in the future."

Uchiha Nan comforted Jiraiya, Jiraiya was considered a hard-working genius. He was naturally talented and persevered in training in Sage Mode, eventually accumulating knowledge and skills to become the famous Toad Sage in the Ninja world.

I overlooked this problem. Extending the Ninja Academy's curriculum is a good thing for ordinary people, but for talented kids like Jiraiya Orochimaru, having them receive ordinary instruction at the Ninja Academy is a waste of their precious growth time.

"Really"

Jiraiya's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the Lord Hokage to think so highly of him. Even Tsunade, who was enjoying a hearty meal, and Orochimaru, who was standing to the side, showed surprise. This lecherous brat, the Lord Hokage actually thinks so highly of him.

"I've always had a very good eye for people."

Uchiha Nan spoke with certainty, acknowledging that Jiraiya's future achievements were extremely dazzling. However, it was time to consider finding him a teacher, as keeping him at the Ninja Academy would only waste his talent.

The gambling, drugs, and prostitution duo... they still need to stay together. Uchiha Nan didn't want to separate Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade; it's just that there aren't many suitable candidates in Konoha to be their teachers.

Orochimaru couldn't stay in the lab with Tobirama Senju. Although Uchiha Nan didn't want Orochimaru to experience too much of the darkness of the Ninja world, as a ninja, these were things he couldn't escape.

It's not that I'm incapable; I could probably sneak out during my free time at work to tutor students, which would be quite fun.

However, Hokage seems to have a tradition of students killing their teachers. Orochimaru killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Obito Uchiha killed Minato Namikaze. While superstition is understandable, it's still worth believing in it, because being killed by someone who brings misfortune would be a huge loss for you.

I'll train Jiraiya in Summoning Technique first, then I'll hand the three of them over to Hatake Sakumo. Right now, that white-haired kid Hatake Sakumo is following Kakuzu, only responsible for small things like looking at the accounts and keeping Kakuzu's calculator. I need to find him something to do.

After some thought, Uchiha Nan decided that Jiraiya should stop wasting time at the Ninja Academy and instead study with him for a while. He would then arrange an exam for him so that he could graduate directly from the Ninja Academy.

"Really"

Jiraiya was utterly incredulous Jiraiya hearing Uchiha Nan's arrangement for him. He was going to be studying under the Lord Hokage for a period of time?

"Lord Hokage, what about me?!"

Orochimaru looked on with anticipation. Compared to wasting his life at the Ninja Academy, surrounded by a bunch of infatuated girls all day, and not being able to do experiments with Tobirama Senju, learning from Uchiha Nan was a much better option.

"You... come along. Teaching one is the same as teaching two, it won't take much effort."

Seeing Orochimaru's expectant gaze, Uchiha Nan readily agreed.

"Lord Hokage, I want to go too!"

Tsunade hadn't even wiped the cream off her lips when she eagerly raised her hand. Jiraiya and Orochimaru had both gone, so she wanted to join in the fun too. Not having to go to school and learning from the Lord Hokage would definitely be more fun than staying at school.

"Tsunade... you should get your grandmother, Mito-sama, to agree first. I don't want Mito-sama knocking on my office door."

Mito Uzumaki was always very wary of Uchiha Nan and kept a close Uzumaki Yangyue on him, just like she did with Uchiha Nan. Tsunade did the same; Uchiha Nan was simply too young. After all, Tsunade and Uchiha Nan weren't that far apart in age, making them a good match. However, Uchiha Nan never showed any strange intentions and didn't watch Tsunade as closely as Uzumaki Yangyue did, as long as Tsunade didn't gamble.

If Tsunade were to study under Uchiha Nan now, Mito Uzumaki would suspect that Uchiha Nan had ulterior motives. After all, in Mito Uzumaki's eyes Uchiha Nan was morally corrupt, had no integrity, and was fond of women, making him unsuitable to be Tsunade's teacher.

Uchiha Nan was too lazy to get entangled with Mito Uzumaki at this time. Tsunade wanted to learn from her, so she first needed to get Mito Uzumaki's consent.

"Mito has been busy teaching Yozuki-neechan Sealing Jutsu lately, so she hasn't had time for me, Lord Hokage. I'm so bored being all alone at the Ninja Academy. I've already learned everything they teach there. Hmm. (whining)"

Tsunade unleashed her ultimate technique, a move that had always been effective against Hashirama Senju Tobirama Senju. Uchiha Nan held out for a while, but too was defeated. Tsunade's playful and adorable Tsunade was indeed very effective; she was quite different from the Tsunade of our memories, creating a strange contrast. So cute!

"Then let's go together as a group of three. I'll treat you to lunch, and we'll officially start teaching this afternoon."

The streets of Konoha

Early in the morning, Madara Uchiha climbed down from a tree. Having spent most of his time sleeping on rocks, Madara Uchiha had no aversion to sleeping in trees. He then wandered aimlessly through the streets of Konoha.

The bustling scene was so captivating that Madara Uchiha couldn't get enough of it. Konoha and the Ninja world were like two completely different worlds, the difference was like heaven and earth. When would the entire Ninja world be like Konoha? Madara Uchiha desperately hoped that this could extend to the entire Ninja world.

However, this takes time. The development of productivity and technological innovation both require time. The future described in Uchiha Nan's book does not give a specific timeframe. In the more distant future, humanity's desire for a better and happier life is endless. A nice-sounding way of putting it: human greed is endless.

Madara Uchiha, though not well-read, hadn't yet grasped the true meaning of the texts. However Uchiha Nan's beautiful vision—breaking the fate of ninjas as mere tools, developing productivity, and dismantling unequal production relations—was a series of theories beyond Madara Uchiha. This prevented Madara Uchiha from seeing the ultimate goal of this path; the absence of an ultimate goal represented an infinite future.

The Eye of the Moon plan was ultimately a pipe dream. Was it better to exchange the lives of all humanity for a Sweet dreams, or to pursue a distant, beautiful, and real future? Deep down, Madara Uchiha leaned more towards the latter.

Reality versus falsehood. For a character of Madara Uchiha's caliber, reality is far more appealing.

Furthermore, the key item for the Moon's Eye Plan has not yet been obtained, and it is unknown when it will be acquired.

If I were to lead the way in all of this in Konoha, I imagine even Hashirama would have to bow Hashirama and admit defeat.

Madara Uchiha gazed upon the flourishing scene of Konoha, a vibrant and thriving world before him. He longed to drag Hashirama Senju out of the Pure Land. "The Konoha under the rule of my Uchiha is a hundred times stronger than you and that Tobirama Senju. It will only get better in the future."

You lost, Hashirama!

"I'm a little hungry."

Around noon, Madara Uchiha's stomach began to rumble, but he was completely broke. Should he go and mooch a meal off that brat, Itou Sousuke?

Madara Uchiha felt he still had some sense of shame; constantly freeloading off children made it clear that making money was now a pressing matter.

Madara Uchiha pulled out an address from his pocket. The agency had given Madara Uchiha this address; mentioning his name would get him a workstation, free dormitory accommodation, and a free cafeteria. He'd go there for a free meal first... *cough Sharingan Genjutsu. Even with such methods, Madara Uchiha maintained his pride as a strongman. He couldn't bring himself to use such methods to get a free meal from defenseless villagers.

A factory in Konoha.

"Oh, it's you. Why didn't you report yesterday? Oh well, you're an old man. It's good that you came today."

"We get one day off every two weeks, and we work ten hours a day, plus night shifts, which is twelve hours a day. However, there are night shifts almost every day, but the night shift pay is equivalent to a month's salary. Do you understand? If you're willing to work here, sign here."

Madara Uchiha nodded. He had no intention of staying here long. Before coming, he had already sent a clone out to take on bounty missions. He could probably earn several million taels in less than a month. He was just experiencing life and taking care of his basic needs for the time being.

"Then sign it!"

"Madara Pillar!"

Madara Uchiha signed his pseudonym, then received two sets of factory uniforms and was taken to his bed in the dormitory.

A wooden shed, an eight-person dormitory, with bunk beds.

"This is where you'll stay tonight. Qi Shu, you're the dorm leader, so please take good care of this old man. We're all refugees living in Konoha, so we should help each other."

"Okay!"

Qi Shu, with his loud voice, readily agreed.

"Sir, you're new here. According to the rules, you officially start work tomorrow. You can familiarize yourself with the environment here this afternoon. We're about to have lunch, let's go together. I can also introduce you to your roommates while we're at it."

Qi Shu patted Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha the shoulder, signaling him to follow him to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Uncle Madara Pillar, this canteen is free for the employees. They provide a fixed amount of food each day. Today we have rice balls, protein cubes, vegetables... and soup with meat bones in it!"

"Eat more. It's your first day of work this afternoon, so make sure you eat well. The work here isn't easy, but it's so much better than what we used to live. We have food and drink, and there's hope for the future. I've already bought a house in Konoha, and we'll be holding a lottery to move in soon. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to get one."

Qi Shu kept talking the whole way, he was a very outgoing person, and he kept talking to Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha was fine at first, but later he found it a bit annoying. Old people like quiet, but he didn't find it annoying.

canteen

"Rice balls, protein cubes, and a meat-flavored soup"

"The food is alright."

Madara Uchiha took a bite of the protein; it was sticky and tasteless. Then he took a sip of the soup... Mmm! Delicious! It tastes amazing!

Madara Uchiha wondered what Madara Uchiha Nan did at his factory every day, as he ate his rice ball.
