"I'm so tired."
" The Hyuga Clan, the Caged Bird... the Main Family "
"I just got back to the village, I haven't even had a chance to catch my breath, and I already have to face such a troublesome situation."
"There are still these damn documents to process."
Uchiha Nan placed his hand on his chin and sighed.
After complaining for a while
Uchiha Nan picked up the pen on the table and continued working on the remaining documents.
Time passed slowly, and as evening approached, Uchiha Nan finally finished processing most of the documents on the table.
"Finally, I can go home." Uchiha Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
" Lord Hokage, there is another document here that requires your attention."
Nara Luyuan "out of touch with reality," delivered another document.
" Lu Yuan, are you doing this on purpose...? Never mind, just give it to me."
Uchiha Nan took the documents from Nara Luyuan's hand.
" Konoha's Administrative Department, Planning Department, and Finance Department are expanding their recruitment."
" Lord Hokage, please take a look at the list. If it's acceptable, you can sign it and it can be implemented."
"They've expanded enrollment several times already, haven't they?"
" Konoha is growing larger and larger, and the affairs it involves are becoming more and more numerous. Even though we've expanded our personnel several times, it's still not enough. Constantly using Shadow Clone for work is really taking a toll on our health."
"Then go to Konoha Hospital more often and increase its revenue. Boost the pharmaceutical industry, and with this exchange, Konoha's GDP will be all there. Konoha earns money, Konoha spends it, and nobody thinks about taking a single penny home. Konoha's GDP depends on your contributions."
Uchiha Nan nodded, flipping through the documents while reciting a rhyme.
The Nara Luyuan silent.
Lord Hokage, your mouth sounds like it's been poisoned.
"This new batch is all very young."
"Youth is good. You can withstand roughness."
"There are quite a few who are already married."
Uchiha Nan flipped through the personnel list, muttering to himself.
In an era where the remnants of the Warring States period still existed, children in the Ninja world were extremely precocious, so much so that even seven- or eight-year-olds could carry Kunai and go on killing people.
Furthermore, due to war and missions, ninjas have relatively short lifespans, so they tend to marry early to ensure a sufficient population.
Getting married and having children early has become a consensus in the Ninja world.
Whether they were ninjas or commoners, they all believed this and acted accordingly.
" Lu Yuan, in the future, try to hire younger people, preferably married, and ideally with children—the more the better. If they have a mortgage, even better..."
"Once people have a family, they gain the desire to strive. For their children, they will do anything, even if it means working overtime for three days and three nights without rest. I believe they can do it very well."
"If it's a 30-year-old middle-aged ninja, that's fantastic. They still have the stamina to work tirelessly like an ox."
"Those young, unmarried, and childless ninjas have nothing, they can quit their jobs without a second thought, and they feel no psychological pressure whatsoever. It's outrageous!"
Uchiha Nan was muttering to himself, Nara Luyuan kept nodding.
These words are regarded as the highest principles.
The Lord Hokage's insight is truly profound; what he said is absolutely right!
The hardest working ninjas at the Hokage Building are those who are married, have several children, and have even bought houses in the new city area.
Not only do I have a large family to support, but there are also expenses for baby formula, school fees, herbal medicine, and medicinal baths. All sorts of expenses require money.
To provide a better living environment for our child, we bought a house in the new urban area and took on a mortgage.
The monthly repayment pressure is enormous.
They rarely complain about working overtime day after day. The middle-aged ninjas are the best among them, and they are even willing to volunteer for overtime in order to earn overtime pay.
The young ninjas who were unmarried, childless, and didn't even own a house were the ones who complained the most.
They have absolutely no spirit of dedication to Konoha!
" Lord Hokage, I will be more careful in the future."
"If someone doesn't want to get married or have children next time, I'll avoid hiring them if possible."
Nara Luyuan nodded and decided to add some extra conditions to the job posting when they expand recruitment next time.
That's right!
Uchiha Nan nodded and continued flipping through the documents.
" Uchiha, Hyuga Clan, Senju Clan, Uzumaki Clan, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame "
"Ninja clan members make up 80% of them."
"This ratio."
Uchiha Nan frowned; he was not satisfied with the result.
Nara Luyuan sensed Uchiha Nan's emotions, and sweat beaded on his forehead. This list was something he had worked very hard to create, and many people had greeted him along the way.
We're all members of the ninja clan, so we see each other all the time.
Among those who came to say hello were comrades-in-arms from the First Shinobi World War, with whom they shared a life-or-death bond.
Hey bro, can you do me a favor? Give your nephew and niece a little help out. Just a quick favor.
In the past, people had no choice but to make a living by doing bounty missions; that's how everyone lived. Besides, Konoha didn't need so many people sitting in offices.
But now things have changed.
As Konoha's business expands, the number of people needing to work in offices is increasing daily.
Every ninja clan in Konoha sought transformation during this period of great change.
Talented children specialize in combat and serve Konoha in the Anbu.
Even those who aren't particularly talented should have their families do their best to find them a good place to go.
Although the Hokage Building has a lot of work to do, and even with Shadow Clone, there aren't enough people when things get busy, the entire Hidden Konoha still flocks to this job.
This is a permanent office job; once you get the job, you won't have to live a life of hardship in the Ninja world anymore, and you can say goodbye to the days of risking your life.
High salary, good benefits, and generous bonuses.
Their lives are even better than those of the frontline combat personnel.
After all, a government-affiliated job is really appealing.
" Lord Hokage, please rest assured!"
"Every member of the ninja clan has passed the tests and is absolutely capable of fulfilling their duties; moreover, their individual strength is generally superior to that of ordinary ninjas."
Nara Luyuan by explaining, afraid that Uchiha Nan would be dissatisfied.
"Yes, work ability is of course the most important thing."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
"However, Lu Yuan, the number of commoner ninjas graduating from the Ninja Academy is increasing, and their proportion has surpassed that of clan ninjas. We should give them more opportunities."
"Remove some of the ninja clan members from the list and increase the number of civilian ninjas."
Uchiha Nan rejected Nara Luyuan's list of recruits and asked him to create a new list.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Although Nara Luyuan was very reluctant, he nodded immediately.
If I remove any part, someone will be dissatisfied; that's just how human relationships are.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Since the Lord Hokage has spoken, he certainly can't say "no."
Nara Luyuan took the document, and as soon as he turned his back to Uchiha Nan, he showed a dejected look. He then walked out of the room and began to redo a new list of recruits.
" The Uchiha is definitely not to be touched; they are the Lord Hokage's family."
The Hyuga Clan... forget about the Senju... and the Uzumaki clan too. Let's start with the smaller clans."
"This is another troublesome matter."
"This is really troublesome."
Uchiha Nan twirled the pen in his hand.
I never expected so many troubles to arise as soon as I got back.
The thing he had always hoped against had still happened; the ninja clan had banded together as Uchiha Nan had predicted.
Good jobs are generally not readily available and depend on connections.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the ninja clan.
Konoha was a purely military group from the beginning, and its original shareholders were all ninja clans, who contributed the most in terms of both manpower and money.
Uchiha Nan also relied on them.
Civilian ninjas have only emerged in the last year or two thanks to Uchiha Nan's financial resources.
In the eyes of the ninja clan
Commoner ninjas are a group of people who reap the benefits without sowing.
Difficult
However, this is still within a controllable range. Konoha is essentially a one-man show by Uchiha Nan, who has absolute power over personnel appointments and dismissals.
However, Uchiha Nan did not let his guard down. Konoha's expansion in recent years had been too rapid, and the prosperity had masked all of Konoha's hidden problems.
Everywhere, all things flourish, creating a vibrant and thriving scene.
The conflict between civilian ninjas and ninja clans in Konoha is not particularly prominent at present, and Konoha has not yet fully devoured the huge pie that Land of Fire.
Uchiha Nan continues to exploit the Ninja world, sucking the blood of small Ninja world nations and taking a cut from the five great nations.
The cake got bigger and bigger, and everyone was able to eat their fill.
But the problem still needs to be solved. If I don't solve it myself, I'll leave it to the next Hokage.
That would be terrible for the Fourth Hokage.
Although Uchiha Nan called himself the benevolent father of Konoha, he certainly wouldn't act like a benevolent father. He clearly saw the signs of trouble, but because of momentary weakness and mercy, he dragged things out until a large-scale purge was needed to resolve them.
"We can only continue letting them take the exams; we should try to be as fair as possible."
"A well-structured system is more effective than individual will."
Uchiha Nan still planned to use the old method with the rabbit: everyone wants to sit in an office, so let's give them an exam!
Not only must one's personal abilities be up to par, but one's exam scores must also be high.
"Roll it up, roll it up until you're dead."
"I've spent so much money training you commoner ninjas, you'd better live up to my expectations!"
Moon
The Giant Tenseigan was placed on a huge circular platform made of a mysterious metal that emitted a ghostly blue luster.
Golden light is shining.
Such fluctuations must have been caused by someone within the family.
Moreover, only members of the clan with extremely high bloodline concentration and exceptional talent can cause such a fluctuation.
However, the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon investigated every member of their entire family, even the pregnant women.
Meeting room.
Two groups of people sat at a long table.
Radicals and moderates.
The filial Filial Son, Hagomoro Otsutsuki, said this to his descendants a thousand years ago.
His elder brother, the Sage of Six Paths, created the Ninjutsu Sect on Earth and spread Chakra there, attempting to create a peaceful and perfect world where everyone could understand each other.
Then, on his deathbed, he left a will for his descendants, the words of which were vague and unclear.
You must take good care of your brother's world. Protect the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; if any problems arise, resolve them promptly. You must help your brother.
There were also some other random things said.
Hagomoro Otsutsuki, his brother Sage of Six Paths, and their mother Kaguya Otsutsuki all failed equally in handling family relationships.
Kaguya Otsutsuki failed to manage the relationship between her two sons, resulting in the two rebellious sons creating a scene of utter humiliation and filial impiety. To this day, Kaguya remains sealed on the moon, unable to escape, leaving only her younger son, Black Zetsu, to struggle in the Ninja world.
Like the Sage of Six Paths, he was also confused and unfairly divided his family property, leading to his own ill fortune in his later years. His two sons also went their separate ways, fighting fiercely and ultimately battling to the death, their souls reincarnating and fighting each other generation after generation.
Perhaps only when Indra Asura are reincarnated as a man and a woman will their reincarnation story truly come to an end.
Hagomoro Otsutsuki also inherited his family's fine tradition. Although he did not cause trouble while he was alive, he began to go crazy when he was about to die, saying some incoherent things and not even leaving a written will.
This led to his descendants being divided into two factions.
Regarding how to deal with the Ninja world left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.
Our ancestors always told us to keep an eye on things and deal with any problems promptly.
The Ninja world has been embroiled in conflict for a thousand years.
The Warring States Period was a complete mess.
The conflict was so fierce that even the Senju Clan and Uchiha, two families with a blood feud spanning generations, could no longer continue fighting. They began searching for a solution and eventually reached an agreement, establishing a system of one village per country.
A brief period of peace ensued, but it was short-lived.
The death of Hashirama Senju sparked the First Shinobi World War, a war even more devastating than the Warring States Period.
This rotten world... these cowardly ninjas... it's time to deal with them!!
But the moderates believe there is still hope for the Ninja world.
The radicals believe that the Ninja world is beyond redemption and that the ancestral Tenseigan must be used immediately to correct the mistakes left by their ancestor's elder brother, the Sage of Six Paths.
In the end, the two factions fought like madmen. The once prosperous family was reduced to only one heir Otsutsuki Toneri, who wanted to find a wife to inherit the family business and continue the bloodline, but Naruto Uzumaki intercepted him.
Perhaps this is karma. An unfilial child can never have an filial child.
"We have searched the entire clan and found no one who could cause the Tenseigan to react abnormally."
"Otsutsuki Ōtsutsuki who spoke."
"Then continue the investigation."
Ōtsutsuki Tetsuya, then quickly changed the subject.
"How is the Ninja world on Earth doing now?"
"The war is still ongoing."
"Yes, Lord Tetsuya, the Ninja world on Earth has been embroiled in conflict ever since the last great war. Now it seems a new great war is about to break out."
The clansmen sitting next to Ōtsutsuki Tetsuya immediately understood and reported the latest information about the Ninja world.
"As expected, the ninjas of Earth's Ninja world are still so ignorant."
"It is time to carry out the mandate left by our ancestors."
Ōtsutsuki Tetsuya once again spoke of the dying words left by his ancestor.
"Enough! That's not what our ancestors meant at all. The Tenseigan isn't a tool for your wanton actions."
Otsutsuki Tetsujin slammed his fist on the table, speaking in sharp rebuttal.
