Uchiha Madara: In Konoha's Hour of Peril, I'll Descend in an Unrivaled Form!
"Everyone, please line up and don't rush."
Everyone gets a share!
The simplest and most effective way to win people's hearts and improve the relationship between these Uzumaki Clan disciples and Konoha is to give them money.
Using Konoha's public funds to win over the hearts of the new generation of the Uzumaki Clan members—what a shrewd deal! That's the right of the Hokage!
Uchiha Nan glanced at Mito Uzumaki. She was all alone, standing there with complicated feelings. She was clearly unhappy inside, but she had to pretend to be happy.
The Hokage is giving money to the Uzumaki Clan's children, so why is Mito Uzumaki wearing such a sour face?
Envy, jealousy, hatred.
"So what if you have a little money? It's not like your Uchiha paid for it. You're such an annoying brat, don't you know you should get involved when it's time to distribute money?"
"Asshole!"
Mito Uzumaki was internally screaming. She really wanted to develop a relationship with the younger generation of the Uzumaki Clan! Although she was a member of the Uzumaki Clan, she had spent most of her life in Konoha. The younger Uzumaki Clan had only heard of Mito Uzumaki; they had never even seen her. How could they possibly develop a relationship with her?
Mito Uzumaki Uchiha Nan, wanting to participate in distributing the money, but Uchiha Nan had no such intention.
Harvesting hearts and minds is a privilege exclusive to Hokage. Yuan Shikai used Qing Dynasty funds to personally pay and distribute military salaries and uniforms, turning the army into a private force. Even after the Qing Dynasty removed Yuan Shikai from his post, he still couldn't mobilize the army.
Names and tools should never be lent to others!
Uchiha Nan winked at Mito Uzumaki, a wink that carried a hint of provocation. Mito Uzumaki's clansmen were all huddled close to him; wasn't that a form of NTR (Netorare, a form of incest)? Awesome!
"Damn it." Mito Uzumaki's molars creaked as she glared at Uchiha Nan, then turned her head away. "I won't look, I won't look. The more I look, the more annoyed I get!"
Uchiha Nan distributed the living expenses one by one, and every child's face was filled with a smile. Konoha really made the right choice to come; they gave out money as soon as they arrived... How wonderful!
"Mito-sama, would you like to go out for dinner? I've made a reservation at a restaurant; I've booked the whole place for today."
"Go, why wouldn't you go!"
Mito Uzumaki readily agreed. Building relationships with the younger generation of the Uzumaki Clan —money alone couldn't buy people's hearts... It certainly seemed to work. Mito Uzumaki looked at the Uzumaki Clan members present; everyone was gathered around Uchiha Nan, their eyes shining.
But precisely because of this, Mito Uzumaki was even more determined to go, since she had already fallen behind.
"Oh, and remember to bring Uzumaki Yangyue along. She's also a member of the Uzumaki Clan, so we can't forget her at this group meal."
Uchiha Nan beckoned the young members of the Uzumaki Clan toward the hotel, reminding Mito Uzumaki to bring Uzumaki Yangyue along.
The mere mention of Uzumaki Yangyue evokes an instinctive wariness in Mito Uzumaki, much like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"You're not thinking any weird ideas again, are you? Let me tell you, there's no way you and Uzumaki Yangyue are together."
"You slut!"
Uchiha Nan waved his hand dismissively, ignoring Mito Uzumaki. How could Mito Uzumaki think of him as so despicable? He had been working tirelessly for the future of Konoha.
Uchiha Nan has been very busy lately. In the morning, he handles a whole host of matters in Konoha, and in the afternoon, he trains. In the evening, he goes to Tobirama Senju's laboratory to oversee experiments, and then goes home to fight two opponents at once. He simply doesn't have time to concern himself with trivial matters like personal relationships.
Of course, there are exceptions Uzumaki Yangyue stripped naked and cornered Uchiha Nan on his bed.
However, the probability of such a thing happening is negligible. Besides, there are two babies at home who need to be fed.
Feng and Ling were well aware of their status; they were nothing more than playthings. Although Uchiha Nan treated them well, the difference in their social status was like a chasm that they could not cross. Uchiha Nan would eventually marry a wife who matched his status, or perhaps several. The Ninja world was not a monogamous society; polygamy was the norm.
With such a high mortality rate among the ninja clan, the birth rate absolutely needs to be increased. Since they can't stop it all, they might as well spend every night entangled with Uchiha Nan, turning into a full-powered juicer to keep Uchiha Nan from thinking about other women and delaying things as much as possible. Deep down, they still don't want Uchiha Nan to be unfaithful.
Watching Uchiha Nan's Mito Uzumaki figure, Mito Uzumaki decided to go home and call Uzumaki Yangyue. It wouldn't be good to miss such a scene.
But some things are beyond our control.
When Mito Uzumaki returned home, she called out to Uzumaki Yangyue, Tsunade was practicing Sealing Jutsu. Upon hearing that the Lord Hokage was going to book out a restaurant for dinner, Tsunade eagerly rushed over and insisted on going along.
"Grandma, I want to go too! I want to go eat a big meal!"
"Alright, you can come along then."
Mito Uzumaki looked at Tsunade, who was clinging to his arm and acting coquettishly, with doting eyes. It's just going out for a meal, and it's all Konoha's money being spent. Why not take advantage of it!
"Yay!"
Uchiha Nan took the Uzumaki Clan to a grand feast.
at the same time
Madara Uchiha was also eating, but his meal was a little less substantial. He had rice balls, protein cubes, a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, and a large piece of braised meat – a very hearty meal!
Compared to the workers in other groups, each worker in Madara Uchiha's group received a large piece of braised meat, a daily ration reserved for the elite group. Being able to eat meat every day was already a remarkable thing for these laborers.
Uchiha Nan's few acts of kindness towards these workers were simply ensuring they had enough to eat each day so they could maintain their strength to dedicate their labor to Konoha. As for what they ate, that was not something Uchiha Nan should worry about.
"Damn it, can you please stop making smacking noises when you eat meat? And stop tearing it into pieces like that! You could have finished it in just a few pieces!"
"That's right!"
"Hmph, you're just envious. I can eat however I want. I've hardly ever had meat growing up, but now I can eat it Tenten. What's wrong with eating a little more refined food?"
One of the workers in Madara Uchiha swallowed a piece of meat whole, ignoring the envious looks from the other workers around him. He didn't do it on purpose; he was just terrified of poverty.
His childhood dream of eating rice balls every day and having meat at every meal was so easily realized.
The surrounding workers looked at the fragrant braised meat and envied this good-for-nothing for being so lucky to be assigned to a ninja like Madara Pillar.
Due to his outstanding performance, Madara Uchiha, while still a ninja, has been promoted from a lowly factory worker to a team leader on the assembly line, driven by the policy of mass production of Konoha Ninja. Not only has his salary increased, but his power has also grown accordingly, allowing him to influence the performance of his team members and their monthly wages to a certain extent.
This is certainly not the limit of Madara Uchiha's working career. In the future, he will become a group leader, deputy group leader, group leader, deputy group leader, and even covet the position of group leader. His future is truly promising!
Madara Uchiha thrived in the factory. The daily workload was nothing to him, and it didn't stop him from trying to awaken the Rinnegan Madara Uchiha long as he had a continuous supply of Chakra and life force.
"It's not bad to stay hidden in Konoha like this; it doesn't interfere with anything."
Madara Uchiha quite enjoys his current life, doing a little work in the factory every day. He steals moments to go to the statue at the highest point of Konoha to enjoy the scenery. He also keeps his Rinnegan active, which makes him feel quite fulfilled. Even the loneliness and emptiness in his heart have lessened a bit.
Madara Uchiha, who lived year-round in a dark, sunless underground cave, was a typical lonely old man who, while diligently Rinnegan the Rinnegan, also enjoyed reminiscing about the past.
The death of his younger brother, Tobirama Senju's betrayal, Hashirama Senju's straightforwardness and lack of understanding—all these negative emotions continued unabated. He also couldn't see the sun for years. Even an elderly person like him, who could easily go crazy, still needed companionship.
Madara Uchiha works every day and still lives in an eight-person dormitory. It's really hard for him to feel lonely.
As for his initial target, Uchiha Nan, Madara Uchiha is still not ready. How should he approach meeting Uchiha Nan?
How to persuade and recruit Uchiha Nan to join the Moon's Eye Plan?
It seems unlikely to work. Uchiha Nan has already embarked on his own path, and he cannot abandon his goal before reaching its end. Moreover, he hasn't even activated the Uchiha Nan, the key item for Rinnegan Moon's Eye Plan!
Forcing Uchiha Nan to join the Moon's Eye Plan right now wouldn't be of any use.
Alternatively, he could simply return to Konoha and put aside the Moon's Eye Plan with Uchiha Nan for now. He could keep trying to awaken the Rinnegan anyway, so he could do both without any problems.
It's just that I can't bring myself to say it!
Old man from the previous era, he betrayed Konoha, attacking the Konoha and faking his death. He meticulously planned to leave Konoha.
He's been in the Ninja world for ten years, and now he's eagerly looking forward to returning to Konoha.
Ugh. Shabby, so damn shabby!
Madara Uchiha was extremely concerned with his reputation; he wouldn't do something so humiliating!
Even if he were to return to Konoha and join Uchiha Nan's plan, it would have to be done with overwhelming force. For example, when Konoha is in peril, when the entire Ninja world wants to eliminate Konoha, Uchiha Nan's path will ultimately lead to Konoha being the enemy of the world. He will unify the Ninja world, and those petty villains in the Ninja world will not obediently accept their fate; he will have to beat them all severely.
In Konoha's most dangerous and difficult time, he must descend from the sky, wielding the invincible Susanoo, and wipe out all enemies—this kind of entrance is befitting his status.
Let's wait a bit longer, there's no rush... Uchiha Nan is still the Hokage of Konoha, he can't escape.
Now is not the time for me to step in. I need to make my appearance at the most crucial moment.
Moreover, it seems that his reputation has improved. In a few years, Tobirama Senju's reputation after his death might not be as good as his own.
Rumors circulate that Tobirama Senju was attracted to men, and that he had a forbidden love affair with his Disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi... No wonder he hadn't married or had children all this time; he was secretly a pervert.
Uchiha Nan even had his own statue displayed at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, and he even made a movie about himself. What a great junior! That's how movies should be made!
I, Madara Uchiha, have sacrificed too much for Konoha!
Why?
I haven't finished this meat yet; it's a bit hard to chew. The braised meat is quite delicious, chewy, and young people would probably like it. Some of it even got stuck in my teeth. The rice balls are much better. Madara Uchiha ate slowly and methodically, his mind wandering as usual.
Imagine how you'll make your entrance and what pose you should strike.
"Has the clone returned?"
Madara Uchiha took a bite of meat and sensed that the clone he had sent out on a bounty mission had returned.
I plan to meet up with my clone after I finish eating.
"Madara Pillar, shall we go back together after we finish eating?"
"No... I'll go for a walk to digest my food."
"Okay... remember to come back early, you have to go to work this afternoon."
Madara Uchiha bid farewell to his fellow workers and went to a corner of Konoha. His Madara Uchiha a package, and then vanished in the smoke.
"Two million taels isn't bad. It should be enough for me to live in Konoha for a while."
Memories of his Madara Uchiha's mind. He weighed the package in his hand; it was full of the largest denomination banknotes.
It seems it's time to regain my dignity!
Itou Sousuke, even after spending all his money on it. Although Itou Sousuke didn't say anything, Madara Uchiha couldn't accept it.
He is Madara Uchiha!
I never break my promises, especially not to a little brat.
Madara Uchiha had promised Hashirama he wouldn't seek revenge against Tobirama Senju, and a man of his word is a man of his word. He stubbornly suppressed his desire for revenge and spared Tobirama Senju's life.
During this time, Madara Uchiha hadn't dared to approach Itou Sousuke, for a simple reason: he was broke!
But things are different now. Madara Uchiha is rich now, a full two million ryo!
That's enough to buy the whole card shop!
Madara Uchiha decided to go all in, drawing all the cards to collect a complete set and giving it all to Itou Sousuke, hoping to regain his dignity!
Shall we go now?
I'm afraid that won't work. The drop rates for some cards are just too low. Even if I bought them all and tried to draw them one by one, it would take a lot of time. I'll go tonight. I don't have a night shift tonight, so I have time.
I still have to go to work this afternoon. I was just promoted to team leader, so I need to set a good example and not be late or leave early.
After thinking for a while, Madara Uchiha suppressed his urge to return to the card shop and spend money to dominate the game, deciding to go back to work first and go all in that night!
Luxury restaurant
It was the same restaurant. Uchiha Nan had already sent someone to inform the manager that he wanted to book the entire place to entertain the Uzumaki Clan today. He had the hotel emptied in advance, as the Uzumaki Clan had sent over a hundred people.
"Lord Hokage!"
The manager was waiting at the entrance early in the morning. From afar, he could see a large crowd, all with striking red hair. Uchiha Nan, walking at the very front, was dressed in Hokage robe, exuding undeniable handsomeness.
"This time it's good; this is the rebellious version I wanted."
"Welcome, Lord Hokage!"
Uchiha Nan looked at the cold, indifferent manager and nodded in satisfaction. He was old money; dining at this restaurant was a status symbol.
With a wave of his hand, the manager brought out a row of waiters and led the more than one hundred members of the Uzumaki Clan to their seats.
"Lord Hokage, I'm here!"
As soon as Uchiha Nan sat down, a familiar, crisp sound rang in his ears.
Oh, it's Tsunade. What brings her here?
What's causing this inexplicable sense of unease?
