"Even if Big Brother and Madara Uchiha teamed up, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?"
Tobirama Senju's expression changed.
He had personally witnessed the earth-shattering battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, with its endless sea of trees that blotted out the sky, and giant Buddha statues and Susanoo hundreds of meters tall.
Even the aftershocks of a battle can easily alter the terrain.
This was still Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, who had parted ways and were enemies. If Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju joined forces, with Susanoo adorned with the Great Buddha, then no one in the Ninja world could stop them.
However, Tobirama Senju never expected that the Ōtsutsuki Clan, mentioned by Uchiha Nan, would be so terrifyingly powerful; even his elder brother and Madara Uchiha working together were no match for them!
"Um."
Uchiha Nan nodded, recalling a highlight reel from the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime.
Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo, enhanced by the power of a single Rinnegan, was shattered by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's kick. At this point, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was barely clinging to life, in a state of partial crippling.
If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was at his peak when he first came to Earth, it would be hard for Uchiha Nan to imagine just how strong he would be.
Therefore, whether it's Hashirama Senju's Great Buddha or Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, they're nothing compared to the Ōtsutsuki Clan's stat-boosting abilities. Only those who have reached the Six Paths level can put up a fight.
"Why did the Ōtsutsuki Clan invade the Ninja world? They're already so powerful, what is there in our Ninja world that they're after? What are they plotting?"
Tobirama Senju very intelligent; his title as the greatest scientist in the Ninja world was well-deserved.
He quickly realized that the Ōtsutsuki Clan must have invaded the Ninja world Ninja world to seize something from it.
"Keep this confidential for now."
Uchiha Nan sat on the sofa, shaking his head as he spoke.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan's goal was simple: to plant trees on this planet.
Uchiha Nan wasn't planning to tell Tobirama Senju this information, but he accidentally let it slip today.
The more you talk to Tobirama Senju, the more information you reveal. Every piece of information is intricately connected, and Tobirama Senju will relentlessly pursue your questions until you get to the bottom of it.
That won't do.
I must maintain a certain degree of mystery about Tobirama Senju.
"Asshole!!"
" Uchiha Nan, you know how terrifying the Ōtsutsuki Clan's strength is, yet you're still hiding here. Do you want the Ninja world to be destroyed in your hands?"
Tobirama Senju looked anxious and was furious at Uchiha Nan's riddle-solving behavior.
That naturally evil Uchiha brat is as annoying as ever!
"Telling you won't do any good. I've already said that even if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Compared to the two of them, your strength is almost negligible."
However, I'm in a good mood today, so I can reveal another piece of information to you: their invasion will take place decades from now, at least forty or fifty years.
"I was over sixty then, and I had enjoyed everything—money, wealth, beauty, and supreme power. It was truly a fulfilling life!"
"I've lived a fulfilling life!"
"And Tobirama, have faith in the wisdom of future generations; they will find a way to solve this!"
Uchiha Nan pretended to be nonchalant.
"I believe you, you son of a bitch"
Tobirama Senju pointed directly at Uchiha Nan and cursed.
That good-for-nothing Toma Senju almost ruined the Senju Clan. His descendants probably won't be much better. If we expect them to fight against the Ōtsutsuki Clan, the Ninja world is doomed!
"Well, Uchiha Nan! So that's what you were thinking: enjoying a lifetime of wealth and luxury while neglecting your descendants? And you even said you 'believe in the wisdom of future generations'? You can actually utter such nonsense! I really misjudged you!"
"Then why am I still toiling away in this lab, contributing to your wealth and luxury?!"
"I quit!!"
Seeing that Tobirama Senju was about to give up, Uchiha Nan quickly stopped smiling. He was just joking; he hadn't expected Tobirama Senju to actually want to quit.
That won't do!
" Tobirama, why are you acting like a woman? You get all worked up over a little joke. I am the Third Hokage of Konoha. How can I ignore the future of Konoha?"
Don't worry, everything is under my control!
Uchiha Nan coaxed Tobirama Senju, calming him down, and made a solemn promise to Tobirama Senju.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly. "That bastard Uchiha Nan only feels good when he provokes me."
He's truly a born evil Uchiha brat!
"So, how do you plan to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Tobirama Senju looked at Uchiha Nan with a serious expression and continued to talk about serious matters.
"Uh-huh."
Uchiha Nan stammered for a moment. He really didn't know how to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He hadn't read much of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, and the manga wasn't finished yet.
The storyline of this world has been completely messed up by itself.
The only way to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan is to fight them head-on and kill them; there won't even be a chance for empty words.
He himself is not even as strong as Madara Uchiha Otsutsuki, and he would need to reach the Six Paths level to have any chance of fighting the Otsutsuki.
There is only one way to advance to the Six Paths level: awaken the Rinnegan, summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, capture the Nine Tailed Beasts, and then become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
The conditions for unlocking the Rinnegan are so demanding that only Madara Uchiha has succeeded. I probably have no chance and can only pin my hopes on the system.
Now Tobirama Senju is asking him to reveal a way to defeat the Otsutsuki?
I was just trying to coax you, Tobirama Senju, why did you Tobirama Senju it so seriously?
"And you just said everything was under your control?"
Tobirama Senju fury. How much truth could Uchiha Nan possibly be saying?
"I'm not saying this to comfort you. The Ōtsutsuki Clan is so powerful that even Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju working together couldn't stop them. What good solutions could I possibly have?"
Uchiha Nan spread his hands, saying with a hint of helplessness.
"But I've been working hard all along. I'm trying my best to strengthen Konoha and increase the number of ninjas, selecting geniuses from among them, like Orochimaru."
I also completed the Hashirama Cells experiment.
"I completed the Hashirama Cells experiment!"
Tobirama Senju corrected Uchiha Nan's statement.
"It was the two of us who did it, okay? You were in charge of the technical research, and I was in charge of providing logistical support. I provided all the experimental resources, especially the most crucial ones: the Uchiha cells Sharingan."
"Snort"
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, which was taken as agreement with Uchiha Nan's statement.
"I've also tried to encourage intermarriage between bloodline ninja clans, such as the Uchiha and Senju Clan. Our two clans are direct descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. Intermarriage Hashirama Senju Madara Uchiha."
"We should encourage intermarriage Uchiha and Uzumaki Clan, and between the Uchiha and Hyuga Clan."
"Just like you cultivate cells, by combining the best geniuses from each bloodline ninja clan, their children's talents will definitely be outstanding. Through this kind of cultivation, generation after generation, they will surely create..."
Uchiha Nan expressed his idea: by nurturing geniuses generation after generation, they would eventually be able to create the bloodline power of the Otsutsuki.
"Wait, something's not right. Why are they all couples between Uchiha and other bloodline clans?"
Tobirama Senju noticed something was amiss.
"That's because the Sharingan of the Uchiha is invincible!"
Tobirama Senju wanted to curse again after hearing this.
"Just kidding. Tobirama, I'll definitely be considering the pairing of multiple families."
Uchiha Nan chuckled and added.
"So, let's just do our best and leave the rest to fate. As for what will happen in forty or fifty years, I'm not the Sage of Six Paths, so how can I guarantee anything? Besides, even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that."
"If all my efforts are in vain, then I can only rely on the wisdom of future generations."
After Uchiha Nan finished speaking, he lay down on the sofa, looking completely relaxed.
Hearing the same words now, Tobirama Senju didn't get angry.
Tobirama Senju is all about attitude!
Furthermore, Tobirama Senju didn't believe that Uchiha Nan had only done this much. He was sure that Nan had made other preparations behind his back, just like the secrets he kept hidden from him.
"So, what exactly is the Ōtsutsuki Clan plotting to seize in the Ninja world?"
Tobirama Senju was still unwilling to give up and wanted to extract the information that Uchiha Nan had hidden.
"Didn't I say I wanted to keep it a secret for now?"
Uchiha Nan chose to uphold his principles.
"You bastard, you heartless bastard!"
I've been helping you around the clock, working overtime on experiments, and you've kept such important information from me? You don't treat me like one of your own at all!
"Who told you to be Tobirama Senju?"
" Tobirama, I know you too well. As long as you get even the slightest chance to gain the upper hand, you'll risk it all and try to kick me off the Third Hokage's seat."
I definitely need to be a little wary of you.
Uchiha Nan glanced at Tobirama Senju. "You old bastard, always calling me a born evil Uchiha brat, how could I possibly consider you one of my own?"
"Snort"
Tobirama Senju chuckled and snorted, not pressing Uchiha Nan further. Uchiha Nan really knew him well.
If there's even the slightest chance to reverse the situation between him and Uchiha Nan, he'll definitely take the risk, make Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan slave, and extract all her secrets.
"Let's put the matter of the Ōtsutsuki Clan aside for now. Instead of worrying about the distant future, let's focus on the present, such as dealing with the puppet soldiers of the Moryo."
"Understood, I'll handle it as soon as possible."
Tobirama Senju nodded and said.
" Tobirama, this isn't just for Orochimaru. Using puppet soldiers as laborers can save a lot of money, and I plan to save that money for your experiments."
Uchiha Nan plans to use his financial power to speed up Tobirama Senju's work efficiency.
"Hehe, thank you."
Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan. Although it felt great to have plenty of funding for his experiments, Uchiha Nan ended up taking all the results, leaving him with nothing. He was only willing to work like a slave for Konoha's sake.
"You're welcome!"
Uchiha Nan smiled and said.
Uchiha Nan felt relieved to have finally managed to fool the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
So Uchiha Nan continued to discuss with Tobirama Senju how to resolve the conflict between ninja clans and commoner ninjas.
"You really know how to give me a tough time!"
Tobirama Senju spoke with a helpless tone.
In the past, the fact that ninja clans fought for their interests as a family unit already made Tobirama Senju a constant obstacle. Now, Uchiha Nan is dedicated to promoting intermarriage among bloodline ninja clans, creating a powerful alliance between them. How can this balance the conflict between bloodline ninjas and commoner ninjas?
The Bloodline Ninja Clan will only grow stronger.
"This is indeed a problem, but it's for the more distant future."
Uchiha Nan did not change his mind.
Seeing Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan comforted him, saying:
"At least Konoha is still on the rise. I've not only expanded the pie, but I also plan to eliminate the nobles who have been eating the pie all along. Their remains will be enough for us ninjas to enjoy for a long time."
Tobirama Senju nodded, his brows relaxing. It was too early to worry about this, just as early as to worry about the Ōtsutsuki Clan's invasion.
The pie of Konoha isn't yet at the point where there's not enough to go around.
"Next year, the first batch of Konoha's four-year ninjas will graduate. In addition to combat-type ninjas, there will also be utility-type ninjas. Combat-type ninjas will continue to make a living by carrying out missions, just like ninjas in the past. They are almost all children of ninja clans, and to cultivate their combat abilities, bloodshed is essential."
"As for those civilian ninjas with functional abilities, I want to send them to companies under Konoha's control. They can become managers, engineers, or researchers based on their expertise. Those with lower abilities can start as small foremen in the factory, while those with higher abilities can continue to rise in rank."
"I plan to separate ninja clans and civilian ninjas into two systems, similar to the ninja village system established by the First Hokage, implementing a system of separation between military and political affairs."
Uchiha Nan expressed his thoughts: if all the ninjas of Konoha relied on missions for survival, there would definitely not be enough missions to go around, and the ninjas of the other clans would snatch them all up.
Konoha must assign new jobs to civilian ninjas.
The new generation of ninjas doesn't have the same rigid mindset as the older generation—that ninjas are just tools, living by carrying out missions.
Uchiha Nan's ideological education at the Ninja Academy was not for nothing; he had been laying the groundwork for this day for a long time.
Orochimaru is a perfect example. Unlike the older generation of ninjas, he didn't climb the ranks of Jonin 'Konoha High Command by completing missions, rising from Genin to Chunin, Chunin from chunin to jonin.
Orochimaru rose to Konoha High Command Konoha completing a special project; this should be widely publicized.
"Furthermore, Orochimaru was born a commoner ninja. His background is correct!"
"This is a dream come true for Konoha!!"
Uchiha Nan wanted to make Orochimaru a role model—that ordinary ninjas could also rise to prominence in Konoha, becoming a classic example for the Konoha High Command.
Uchiha Nan had already planned out the headlines about Orochimaru.
"As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely succeed—that's the Konoha dream!"
Moreover, after honing their skills within the company, these commoner ninjas can be transformed into officials managing the Land of Fire, forming a national administrative system.
Uchiha Nan hadn't yet figured out what kind of national system should be used to govern this treacherous Ninja world, given the complexities of the Land of Fire, with its capitalism, supernatural powers, and feudal forces.
If they were to unify the Ninja world in the future, it would definitely be even more troublesome. Hopefully, Hanzo the Salamander from the Land of Rain can set an example for Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju chatted for quite a while.
