Izuna Uchiha roared incessantly, venting his dissatisfaction!
Damn it!!
Those two bastards not only treat me like a beast of burden!
They still treat me like I don't exist!
Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?
This is intolerable!
"Hmph, defeated opponent! Who do you think you are? And who do I am? I am the Second Hokage of Konoha!"
" Uchiha Nan was the Third Hokage, we were both Hokage, what are you? Just a wandering ghost of the Uchiha, your level is far too low!"
"This classified information is arguably the greatest secret in the Ninja world. The fact that you're allowed to stay here and listen in is already a great honor for you."
Tobirama Senju raised an eyebrow and looked at Izuna Uchiha with disdain.
He was full of superiority.
Even if I were to serve Uchiha Nan like a slave, my status would still be far higher than yours, a defeated opponent, by more than one level.
Regardless, the advantage is on my side!
In the blink of an eye.
Izuna Uchiha's defenses were completely breached at the Crimson Temperature level.
" Uchiha Nan, release these hand seals!"
"Hurry up!!!"
"Don't stop me!!"
"I'm going to kill him with Susanoo today!!"
Uchiha Nan looked at Izuna Uchiha, who was standing there unable to move and was furious, and then turned to look at Senju Tobirama, who was Tobirama Senju and even started making faces at Izuna Uchiha. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Those two guys just can't stay still for a moment.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Defeated opponent!!"
Tobirama Senju spoke, a contented expression appeared on his face.
Yes, that's exactly the feeling!
This feeling of being firmly controlled by the seals of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, powerless and filled with impotent rage.
He understands so well!
So this is how Uchiha Nan sees things!!
What a pity!
It wasn't I who cast the Impure World Reincarnation technique on Izuna Uchiha.
"Enough, Tobirama!"
Uchiha Nan frowned, interrupting Tobirama Senju's spellcasting, and then skillfully resumed his role as a peacemaker.
They just want to hear a story, so it doesn't hurt to tell it again myself.
A moment later, Izuna Uchiha finally calmed down and glared fiercely at Tobirama Senju with his Mangekyō Sharingan. Tobirama Senju, however, remained calm and gave Izuna Uchiha the middle finger, looking completely unconcerned.
"This is a long story, it begins with the legendary Rabbit Goddess."
The Sage of Six Paths remained in the Ninja world, while his younger brother Hagomoro Otsutsuki, went to the moon.
" The Sage of Six Paths had two sons, the elder named Indra and the younger Asura. Later, the two brothers, Indra Asura, completely broke apart, and even after their deaths, their Chakra would continue to reincarnate."
"The descendants of Asura are the Senju Clan, and the descendants of Indra are our Uchiha."
" The First Hokage was the reincarnation of Asura, Madara Uchiha was the reincarnation of Indra."
Uchiha Nan omitted some key information and gave Izuna Uchiha a general account of the Otsutsuki family's story.
Are you sure this is all true?
Let me catch my breath.
Izuna Uchiha listened from the side, shaking his head. He found it hard to believe the story Uchiha Nan was telling. This world was too crazy; even a mouse could be a bridesmaid for a cat!
The Uchiha and Senju Clan can actually trace their lineage back to the same ancestor?
That's just how it is.
Uchiha Nan nodded at Izuna Uchiha, understanding that this news was still too impactful for Izuna Uchiha.
He was essentially an old man from the Warring States period, spending his entire life fighting against the Senju Clan.
This story was indeed difficult for him to accept.
"Alright, none of that matters!"
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. I still prefer to focus on the present.
Uchiha Nan didn't want to dwell on the old stories.
" Tobirama, Izuna, what you two need to do is purify these Byakugan, fuse them into one, and then find a way to fuse the Chakra of the Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Uzumaki as well. Maybe then you can create Tenseigan comparable to the Sage of Sage of Six Paths 'Rinnegan!!"
"These eyes possess ultimate destructive power; they will become the sacred treasure of Konoha."
Uchiha Nan's voice was firm and resolute.
"Cough cough cough, stop staring at me, can't you give me some kind of response?"
"You mean my workload has increased again?"
Tobirama Senju said with a forced smile.
He's almost sick of Uchiha Nan's empty promises.
Such rhetoric has been used for years.
Tobirama Senju had heard it countless times.
[Research on the Caged Bird Seal, Modification of White Zetsu Cells, Optimization of Hashirama Cells, Development of Degraded Hashirama Cells Solution, Multifunctional Application of Tailed Beast Chakra, In-depth Research on Yin-Yang Release, Reconstruction Design of Zero-Tailed Beast, Improvement of Computers]
Tobirama Senju recounted his key research work during this period.
According to Uchiha Nan, each of these research projects was related to the future of Konoha and could not be delayed for even a moment.
Uchiha Nan was nagging him to death, Tenten pressuring him and nagging Tenten in his ear.
Now there's one more!
This is not about pushing yourself to the brink of despair!
I just want to lie down and quit!!!
"No, that shouldn't be the case."
Uchiha Nan coughed twice and nodded.
Don't even think about it!
"My current research project has been scheduled for two years from now, which is Konoha Year 29!"
"I don't have time to deal with your Tenseigan's plans anymore!"
" Tobirama, you're right. We can't let Uchiha Nan continue to exploit and oppress us!"
Izuna Uchiha responded to Tobirama Senju immediately; at that moment, the conflict between the clans was no longer important.
The inherently evil Uchiha Nan exploits the two laborers to the point that they cannot rest even 24 hours a day!
"Cough cough cough"
"Don't say that! Time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out if you want to!"
"But no matter how crowded it is, there are only 24 hours in a day!!"
Tobirama Senju gritted teeth.
"Hiss, then let's keep using Shadow Clone."
"The number of clones has reached its limit!"
Uchiha Nan's eyes flickered. Had these two nuclear-powered creatures already reached their limit?
What a useless person!!
"Then let's outsource some of the projects to Orochimaru. The Tenseigan research project must start as soon as possible; it's time for the young man to shoulder his responsibilities!"
Uchiha Nan thought of Orochimaru.
He had always regarded Orochimaru as Tobirama Senju's backup plan, because in the past, Orochimaru was too young and his body had not fully developed, so he could not devote himself to scientific research for a long time.
Now it seems
It's time to fully utilize him!
Hopefully, he can do a good job!
Don't die suddenly
Of course, it's okay if you die suddenly! (Victim +1)
The night passed quickly.
The turmoil caused by the Hyuga Clan had not yet subsided, so Uchiha Nan convened a special gratitude meeting to commemorate this.
In recent years
Konoha has been developing smoothly, and the various ninja clans within Konoha have been continuously expanding their influence.
Uchiha Nan could turn a blind eye to some things; he just wanted to make more money, which is only human nature. But when it comes to loyalty, he must be very strict and forceful.
In the current context
Meeting room
Uchiha Nan sat in the main seat.
Representatives from all the major and minor ninja clans of Konoha were present this time. Even Mito Uzumaki had retired to the second line, made a rare appearance in the conference room, her gaze repeatedly fixed on Hyuga Takuma.
Well, you thick-browed, big-eyed Hyuga Takuma, I always thought the Hyuga Clan were all spineless, but I never expected you to be so fierce this time!
You got punched, didn't you?
"Takuma, you start."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
"Everyone, the Hyuga Clan Head Family is guilty. A significant portion of the Main Family members have lost their ideals and beliefs, lacked the Will of Fire, and openly defied the Hokage's orders, committing unforgivable acts."
"Here, I must offer my deepest apologies. I will resolutely and firmly support the Lord Hokage's decision."
Hyuga Takuma spoke earnestly, his eyes reddening, and after finishing, he displayed his traditional skill from his daily life—bowing.
The ninja representatives on both sides of the conference room listened with a deep sense of unease.
This can be seen as a test by the Konoha ninja clans against the Lord Hokage. If Hyuga Takuma successfully forces the resignation, he will undoubtedly raise the banner of the ninja clans, uniting more smaller Hyuga Clan around him and securing more benefits from the Hokage —selection slots for the elite Ninja Academy, preferential business policies, and the taxes they previously disregarded but now find extremely painful.
Konoha imposes heavy taxes on the businesses owned by ninja clans, with the highest tax rate reaching 56%, and this rate has even been rising in recent years.
The ninja clans dared not speak out against their anger.
After all, this is no longer the original Konoha; everyone's appetite has grown.
But the Hyuga Clan knelt.
He knelt down extremely quickly.
He had just heard the news that the Hyuga Clan was going to cause trouble, and had just finished lunch.
That's the end of it.
In particular, Hyuga Takuma's statement today sent chills down the spines of the ninja clans.
The Caged Bird is gone!
Can rules passed down for thousands of years be abolished just like that?
The Hyuga Clan to kneel down was far too hasty.
From now on, won't the ninja clan be nothing more than the Hokage's dogs?
The village can arbitrarily increase taxes on the ninja clan, demand investment from them for land reclamation, and expect them to hand over their family secret techniques.
The kindness of their loving father was so profound that it left them breathless.
Then Uchiha Nan led the applause.
The speaker expressed high approval of Hyuga Takuma's speech, and the applause in the conference room was prolonged.
"Then let's continue with today's agenda."
" Lord Hokage, I have something to say!"
The Uzumaki Luwei raised their hands in a gesture of greeting.
Uchiha Nan looked at Uzumaki Luwei and nodded in agreement.
Following the established procedure, Uzumaki Luwei first demonstrated the Uzumaki Clan's loyalty to the Lord Hokage.
"Gentlemen, Hyuga Takuma inspiring and deeply moved me. Our ninja clans shouldn't be thinking about what Konoha can do for the clan, but rather what we can do for Konoha."
"I, Uzumaki Luwei, representing the Uzumaki Clan, respond to the Lord Hokage's call and am willing to offer the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu to Konoha in batches!"
As soon as Uzumaki Luwei finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
Holy crap?
Why are you suddenly pulling this stunt, you red-haired devil?
Sealing Jutsu are a closely guarded secret of the Uzumaki Clan, and you're leading the way by donating them to Konoha?
Are you even going to survive in the future, you Uzumaki Clan?
Uzumaki Luwei felt the gazes of the crowd, each one looking like they wanted to kill him.
However, Uzumaki Luwei remained unfazed, displaying an air of righteous indignation.
snort.
These people are all mediocre!
The Ninja world is currently in turmoil, a time of transition between the old and new eras, and the Uzumaki Clan only moved to Konoha in the last two years.
Although the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha have always had a close relationship, the Uzumaki Clan is ultimately just an outsider. If they want to truly take root in Konoha and integrate into the Konoha, the most important thing is to hold on tightly to Uchiha Nan.
What's so special about a Sealing Jutsu?
Furthermore
The Uzumaki Clan doesn't just rely on Sealing Jutsu; they also possess naturally enormous Chakra reserves, superb Chakra manipulation skills, regenerative abilities, and unparalleled physical strength.
These are the very foundation upon which the Uzumaki Clan stands.
What good would it do to offer up Sealing Jutsu?
These tedious and boring Sealing Jutsu, which look like scribbles, are actually the highest-level secret techniques in the Ninja world, and ordinary people simply cannot learn them!
Even the most gifted genius, if they want to learn Sealing Jutsu and become a master of Sealing Jutsu, still needs a guide to lead them.
The saying goes, "A thousand books may contain false teachings, but a single sentence can convey true wisdom." This applies equally to the Ninja world.
Konoha
Whenever a genius with exceptional talent in Sealing Jutsu emerges, they all go to the Uzumaki Clan to study, mentor, and befriend such a genius. The Uzumaki Clan doesn't lose out in this regard.
and
Uzumaki Luwei just pulled a little trick—offering the supplies to Konoha in batches.
"Good!"
" The Uzumaki Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a seasoned ninja clan of Konoha; their moral character is exceptionally high!"
Uchiha Nan looked at Uzumaki Luwei, his face revealing undisguised admiration.
This old guy really knows how to handle things!
His loyalty to the Will of Fire was so pure!!
loyalty!!
Another round of prolonged applause followed.
The next speaker is Toma Senju.
Following the same procedure, Toma Senju first demonstrated the Senju Clan's loyalty to the Lord Hokage, and then, on behalf of the Senju Clan, offered a portion of the Senju Clan's secret techniques to Konoha.
certainly
This is really just for show.
The Senju Clan's most essential Ninjutsu are actually written in the Forbidden Scroll (specifically targeting the Uchiha ).
"Next up is Uchiha Tomita."
"Next up is Nara Luyuan."
Uchiha Nan called on people to speak one by one.
Since Uzumaki Luwei has personally taken the lead today, all the Konoha ninja clans must hand over some real skills.
Hmph
You guys are so spoiled!
Previously, I had to personally visit each household, resorting to threats and inducements, before they would hand over any valuable items to Konoha.
Today's meeting.
Uchiha Nan probably doesn't remember which ninja clan handed over which secret technique.
But if any family doesn't pay...
The ninja clan sighed silently—loyalty!!!
