Second Senju Tobirama Was Definitely Slacking Behind My Back-Uchiha Izuna Was Always Ready to Strike!

Hokage of Konoha Building

Uchiha Nan sat on the sofa in his office, playing with the Two-Tailed cat.

The Two-Tailed was being stroked by Uchiha Nan, purring contentedly. The last person to stroke the Two-Tailed like this was the Sage of Six Paths.

" Lord Hokage, is that a cat?"

"No, that's definitely not a cat."

Nara Luyuan just pushed open the door and was about to give Uchiha Nan a report on his work over the past few days when he saw a blue and black cat with flame-like Chakra wrapped around its body.

The unintentional release of that abyss-like Chakra fluctuation terrified Nara Luyuan, making him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy, as the threat of death, which had not appeared for a long time, descended once again.

Even though this terrifying creature was as docile as a house cat in front of the Lord Hokage, Nara Jiyuan dared not make any rash moves and could only ask Uchiha Nan in a trembling manner.

"I found Two-Tailed Matatabi when I went out."

Uchiha Nan scratched the cat's chin, ignoring Nara Luyuan's trembling voice, and casually replied.

" Two-Tailed."

"Found it when I went out"

The Lord Hokage still loves to spout nonsense as always, but it seems to be true!!!

It's a real Tailed Beast!!

The Tailed Beast, known as a calamity by humans!!

Nara Luyuan instinct was to flee the office, but his legs wouldn't move, and cold sweat poured down his back.

The power of the Tailed Beast is like the ocean to ordinary ninjas, while ninjas are like small boats drifting on the vast sea.

Even the slightest disturbance in the ocean could unleash a giant wave hundreds of meters high, enough to swallow a ninja whole.

"Don't be nervous, Lu Yuan, Two-Tailed is my cat now."

"You wouldn't believe it, but Tailed Beast can change size, they just never show their juvenile form to humans."

The first human to see what they looked like as children was the Sage of Six Paths.

As Uchiha Nan spoke, he released the Two-Tailed Cat from his grasp. The cat glanced at Nara Luyuan, who was standing like a lackey, and then jumped onto Uchiha Nan's desk on its own.

The window was open, and the 10 a. m. sunlight shone on Uchiha Nan's desk. One of the cat's natural instincts is to love sunbathing.

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

Nara Luyuan was still stammering, while a Tailed Beast was sunbathing beside him.

"Don't be nervous, there's no danger, I promise."

"Alright, Lord Hokage."

Nara Luyuan turned his head and glanced at the Two-Tailed cat, who was already enjoying a sunbath with its eyes closed. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

" The Two-Tailed will indeed affect your work, but this is only a temporary measure. I promised it that I would provide it with a forest to live in Konoha."

" Lu Yuan, I'm leaving this matter to you. Also, don't forget to plant some catnip in the forest."

Uchiha Nan did not forget his promise to the Two-Tailed Cat.

Moreover, the Chakra fluctuations of the Tailed Beast have such a huge impact that they have seriously affected the work efficiency of the employees in the Hokage Building.

Despite having instructed the Two-Tailed Cat to restrain its Chakra, the effect was clearly not very good.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Luyuan nodded in agreement. He actually wanted to persuade the Lord Hokage to seal the Two-Tailed away for greater safety, but considering that the Tailed Beast itself was sunbathing nearby, he kept those words to himself.

"However, Lord Hokage, the Two-Tailed belongs to Kumogakure). Konoha has taken the Tailed Beast without authorization."

"What belongs to Kumogakure?"

"What do you take the Tailed Beast for? Tools?"

" The Tailed Beast are intelligent beings; they can live wherever they want."

"Don't say things that are detrimental to the Tailed Beast in the future!"

Uchiha Nan interrupted Nara Luyuan before he could finish speaking.

The Two-Tailed Cat "voluntarily" came to live in Konoha with me. As for Kumogakure, if they're not happy, let the Kumogakure ninjas come and take it from Konoha!

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Luyuan nodded quickly and said that the Two-Tailed seemed to have suddenly opened its eyes and was staring at him.

After explaining the matter of the Two-Tailed cat, Nara Luyuan began to give his work report.

" Lord Hokage, Hanzo the Salamander from Amegakure requests the expansion of trade between Konoha and the Land of Rain, especially in the areas of food and daily necessities."

"The Land of Rain's foreign trade has now been completely cut off. In the entire Ninja world, only Konoha is maintaining normal commercial trade with Amegakure. The rest are just smugglers and yakuza organizations, and they can't amount to much."

"."

Nara Luyuan recounted the latest developments in the Land of Rain, despite Hanzo the Salamander's efforts to maintain stability within the country.

However, the economic sanctions imposed by the coalition of Daimyo caused prices in the Land of Land of Rain to soar, and the remnants of the old regime incited the people to riot, claiming that all the disasters were caused by Hanzo the Salamander, the culprit.

Ordinary people always side with whoever wins; of course, I'm referring to the people of the Land of Rain in the Ninja world.

The Land of Rain is now beset by internal and external troubles, and the people naturally no longer support the once respected Hanzo the Salamander. Instead, they have begun to denounce Hanzo the Salamander.

A combination of internal and external factors has led to large-scale mass unrest in the Land of Rain from time to time.

In the past, Hanzo the Salamander was preoccupied with dealing with external pressures. The combined ninja army of the four great ninja villages made him disregard domestic opposition and he always sent out ninjas to suppress it bloodily. Now he finally has the opportunity to reorganize domestic affairs.

What about Konoha's food reserves now?

" Lord Hokage, the fertilizer produced by Konoha's fertilizer factory is in high demand, and the new grain seeds researched by the Minister of Science and Technology have already made a significant impact in the Land of Rice Fields, which are now supplying Land of Rice Fields with a steady stream of Konoha."

"The same applies to the Land of Fire. Konoha can buy food within the Land of Fire and then resell it to Amegakure."

"Two major grain-producing countries supplying the Land of Rain — Konoha's Ministry of Finance has already had professionals calculate it; we can absolutely do it."

Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction; the preparations made over the past few years had indeed come in handy.

To develop industry, a sufficient food supply is essential; otherwise, one must either exploit one's own people for sustenance or exploit others for sustenance.

However, Uchiha Nan was truly kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see people starve to death.

"Then let's agree to the Land of Rain's request. Of course, the price can be raised a little bit. Friendship is friendship, and business is business; they are two separate matters."

"If the Land of Rain is short of money, then we can use mineral resources to pay off the debt. I remember the Land of Rain gold mines, as well as some special metal minerals, which Konoha needs."

Uchiha Nan remained true to his original aspirations and did not forget to profit from the war.

If they don't plunder the Land of Rain's important assets now, when are they planning to plunder them?

However, Hanzo the Salamander made a worthwhile deal, as only Konoha in the entire Ninja world had the strength to provide financial support to the Land of Rain.

"I understand, Lord Hokage."

" Kakuzu has been sharpening his sword against Amegakure for a long time. When the time comes, let him negotiate with Hanzo the Salamander; he's sure to gain something!"

"Then it's decided."

Uchiha Nan nodded, agreeing to Nara Luyuan's personnel recommendation.

Kakuzu's abilities put Uchiha Nan at ease. After more than a year of training away from home, he had even broken through his own limits and undergone a super evolution. What else could he possibly worry about?

"What about the other four major ninja villages?"

Uchiha Nan inquired about the movements of the four great ninja villages.

" Sunagakure continues to engage in minor skirmishes on the border of the Land of Rain, without launching a large-scale attack on Amegakure."

" The Kirigakure has landed at a port in the Land of Bears and is currently stationed there. It seems they intend to stall the Land of Water's Daimyo for a while longer, choosing to continue observing the situation."

"Yesterday afternoon, Iwagakure and Kumogakure clashed once again in a large-scale battle. Despite his injuries, the Third Ai, led the main force of Kumogakure in a surprise attack on the reinforcements arriving from Iwagakure."

Uchiha Nan's face showed surprise. The Third Ai, was covered in injuries but was still not obediently recuperating.

Looks like they're really courting death.

"However, this time the attack by Kumogakure was detected first by Iwagakure. Among Iwagakure's support forces was Roshi, the Jinchūriki of the Son Gokū. He jumped into the Kumogakure forces and forcibly entered Tailed Beast Transformation. The Third Ai, disregarded his injuries and defeated the Tailed Beast Transformation Roshi, leading the Kumogakure forces, which had suffered considerable losses, to retreat temporarily."

After the war, the Third Ai fell into a coma due to the severity of his injuries.

"It's estimated that Ōnoki will soon need to ask Konoha for help."

After reporting the information on Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Nara Luyuan stated his own assessment.

The Ponzi scheme was a joint operation by Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and now Kumogakure is venting all its anger on Iwagakure, which is clearly unfair.

The bad things were done by everyone, and the benefits were shared by everyone. Konoha was the mastermind and got the most, but in the end, Iwagakure had to bear all the consequences.

Ōnoki would definitely not accept something like this.

"Hmph, calling for reinforcements? Keep dragging Iwagakure."

"Times have changed. Back then, my idea to join forces with Iwagakure and Sunagakure to deal with Kumogakure was based on the premise that Kumogakure would attack Konoha."

"Now that Kumogakure and Iwagakure are locked in a fierce battle, why should I interfere in their feud?"

Have Konoha and Iwagakure signed an alliance pact?

"Why do I only remember that Konoha was allied with Sunagakure?"

"Just open up Konoha and sell weapons and medical supplies to both sides. They've had two major battles in a row, so they must be desperately short of these supplies. Remember to sell them to them at a higher price."

Uchiha Nan snorted coldly; he wouldn't let Konoha get involved in the feud between Iwagakure and Kumogakure right now.

Go ahead and fight!

It would be better if they were all smashed to pieces!

" Lord Hokage, you have such great foresight!"

Nara Luyuan climbed up the pole and started flattering Uchiha Nan; he was desperate to improve!

Moreover, although Konoha is a bit inhumane, the feeling of being inhuman is really exhilarating!

"However, Lord Hokage, according to intelligence, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning seem to be planning to personally mediate the conflict between the Kumogakure and the Iwagakure."

"Oh, that's a real shame."

Uchiha Nan felt a little regretful that the Daimyo of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning might have personally intervened to mediate.

It's highly likely that Ōnoki and the Third Ai will actually have to give their respective Daimyo some face.

After all, the battle between Kumogakure and Iwagakure was purely out of necessity.

Ōnoki inadvertently boarded Konoha's unlicensed vehicle and had no choice but to walk down the dark road for the time being, since he couldn't get off immediately.

The Kumogakure was a complete disaster. Their Ponzi scheme collapsed, and the entire village was exploited. To alleviate internal conflicts, they needed to find a ninja village to carry out revenge, and after much thought, the Iwagakure was the most suitable.

That's how things turned out the way they are now.

Both villages have suffered heavy losses and know that Konoha is the mastermind, but they are powerless to do anything about it; both sides are in a difficult situation.

This war must be fought on, even if it's tough.

It's impossible to shake hands and make peace again, unite against a common enemy, and jointly attack Konoha.

The Daimyo were extremely anxious and frustrated. They hadn't even dealt with Amegakure, their biggest threat, when two of their powerful ninja villages started fighting without a word.

The Iwagakure and the Kumogakure can fight however they want, and the Daimyo of both sides even hope that such a thing will happen. The deeper the conflict between the ninjas, the better!

But the top priority now is to wipe out the Amegakure!

No hitting is allowed!

Unite as one and annihilate Amegakure!

"In addition, the Sky Ninja Village, Lord Hokage you have been monitoring, has shown unusual activity. The Sky Ninja Village has assembled its ninja army, and it seems they are also planning to launch a war."

"The spies planted in Sky Ninja Village haven't figured out which Sky Ninja Village is targeting yet."

Nara Luyuan continued.

Uchiha Nan smiled after hearing this.

The Ninja world is getting more and more chaotic, with wars happening everywhere. It's so exciting, so exhilarating!

"Regarding the Sky Ninja Village, this time we'll have Chenxiang personally go to find out Sky Ninja Village movements. If their target is Konoha, then we must strike first!"

Uchiha Nan decided to send his Otōto to personally monitor the activities of the Sky Ninja Village.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

After Nara Luyuan finished reporting the important information, he then reported some less important information about Konoha, but which Uchiha Nan needed to know.

Two days ago, the Minister of Science and Technology submitted another new invention. Seemingly spurred by something, this time the number of new inventions submitted was far greater than the previous one.

Konoha held Jonin meeting, but the higher-ups were still embroiled in infighting.

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

Uchiha Nan didn't care about the high-level boxing match.

It's all about making money, there's nothing shameful about it.

Instead, it was Tobirama Senju's unusual behavior that caught Uchiha Nan's attention.

This inherently evil Senju devil with a thousand hands must have concealed his workload before.

I'd had my suspicions for a while!

They're trying to be sneaky and slack off!

This is just taking advantage of someone who doesn't understand scientific research!

Evil, so incredibly evil!

Unfortunately, Uchiha Nan doesn't have any evidence yet.

Even if you went to the underground laboratory to question Tobirama Senju, Tobirama Senju definitely wouldn't admit it.

However, if that inherently evil old man Senju doesn't tell the truth, then I really will have to ask Izuna Uchiha for help!

A fierce glint flashed in Uchiha Nan's eyes, causing Nara Luyuan's heart to tremble. Had he said something wrong?

" Lord Hokage, did I say something wrong?"

"No, it's none of your business. It's just that some unruly guy is slacking off behind my back."

Nara Luyuan shuddered. " The Lord Hokage is definitely targeting me!"

" Lord Hokage, I admit I was wrong!"

"While the Lord Hokage was out on business, I secretly slept in his office and slacked off."

Holy crap?

There were unexpected bonuses?

This was the Second Shinobi World War!

I've finally gotten to this point after writing for two months. I'm exhausted.
