Uchiha Nan, You'll End Up Hung from a Streetlight to Repent Like This
"Tobirama, you should be quite happy inside, shouldn't you? After all, I'm your successor, and I did a very good job as Hokage."
"I led Konoha to negotiate Kumogakure with Kumogakure, defeated Iwagakure and Kirigakure, and earned over 100 billion."
"I've done such a good job, so give me a smile. Success and fame aren't the goal; just make yourself happy."
Seeing Tobirama Senju's somewhat depressed expression, Uchiha Nan listed his own great achievements in an attempt to cheer Tobirama Senju.
"Hmph, stop flattering yourself. The successor I chose is Hiruzen Sarutobi. You, this evil brat from the Uchiha, are the usurper!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Tobirama Senju instinctively retorted, "Konoha is a military organization. Uchiha Nan's usurpation is purely an act of insubordination, which is extremely taboo."
"But Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely couldn't have done as well as me!"
Uchiha Nan interrupted Tobirama Senju, revealing a confident smile. He knew all too well what Hiruzen Sarutobi's future would be like after he became Hokage.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi power, given his intellect, he would probably have just been robbing Konoha to pay Paul, trying to slowly regenerate Konoha's resources by exploiting the Daimyo's ill-gotten gains. Once the initial recovery was complete, the Ninja War would resume, and then the slow recovery would begin again – and he'd been doing this for decades.
"Hmph, how did you know?"
Tobirama Senju still wanted to argue, but Uchiha Nan waved his hand and changed the subject. This kind of debate was pointless. Tobirama Senju was looking at him with prejudice, and he couldn't show him the future of Konoha.
"How's the research on those appliances I gave you coming along? These things can make a lot of money."
Uchiha Nan got down to business, having absolute confidence in Tobirama Senju's research abilities, believing that after so much time, there should have been some breakthroughs.
The Naruto era was only about thirty years ago. Although refrigerators and televisions were not yet widespread, they had already appeared.
The technological development of the Ninja world cannot be viewed through the lens of the past; in fact, these ninjas can even create some sophisticated instruments by hand.
"I have completely figured out the structure and working principle of air conditioners, including..."
"But the TV and radio you gave me are a bit more complicated; it involves signal transmission, converting sound and images into signals."
Tobirama Senju heard Uchiha Nan ask about his area of expertise, he began to teach Uchiha Nan about his field.
Uchiha Nan listened for a while, then directly interrupted Tobirama Senju Tobirama's rambling.
He wanted Tobirama Senju to give the result directly, and he didn't want to hear about the process in between.
"Air conditioners can be manufactured, but televisions and radios still need to be tested for a while."
Uchiha Nan nodded after listening. This progress was already very fast; they had actually managed to manufacture air conditioners.
But simply manufacturing them wasn't enough; Uchiha Nan wanted to mass-produce them and sell them throughout the entire Ninja world.
Air conditioners are sure to sell like hotcakes. Summers in the Ninja world are unbearably hot. In the Land of Fire, the temperature can reach over 40 degrees Celsius at its hottest. The nobles go to great lengths to cool off, filling their rooms with huge basins of ice, but nothing helps.
For Daimyo of that rank to directly hire an Ice Release ninja, the price is naturally not cheap. After all, it's an international ninja hiring operation, costing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver per trip. And that's just the price for hiring someone; the rest is charged by the day.
Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature 24 hours a day is no easy task.
"Manufacturing and production are not a problem, but popularization will be troublesome. Air conditioners are powered by electricity, Chakra can also be used."
Tobirama Senju rambled on for a while, Uchiha Nan finally understood. How much Chakra could ordinary people possibly have? To promote electrical appliances, the first step was to popularize electricity. The world was still basically in the stage of burning firewood. It would be too difficult to leap two levels directly to the electric age.
Even in Konoha, which has always been at the forefront of technology, electricity has not been widely available. Electric lights in the village are limited to the homes of the great ninja clans, and the villagers still use candles at night.
There are many difficulties.
However, technical issues are not something Uchiha Nan should worry about; he should leave them all to Tobirama.
"Tobirama, your task has become even more demanding: generator, wires, light bulbs."
Uchiha Nan assigned Tobirama Senju a new task, much like reciting a menu.
Tobirama Senju was completely overwhelmed. He would have to research Hashirama Cells while also dealing with all this stuff. How could he possibly manage it all by himself?
"Are you treating me like a donkey? I'm all alone, without even an assistant."
Tobirama Senju strongly protested this practice of slavery.
However, his objections were ineffective. After some thought, Uchiha Nan came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
The main drawbacks of the Multi Shadow Clone Technique are twofold: first, if the user doesn't have enough Chakra, the clones won't be able to fight; second, even if the user has enough Chakra but creates too many clones, the fatigue from the clones returning to the user's original body could cause the user to die instantly.
But Tobirama Senju didn't need to worry about any of that.
Theoretically, one could create an infinite number of clones as long as Chakra. However, in actual combat, they would probably turn into smoke and disappear with a single touch. But this is for scientific research, so there's no need to worry about the clones expending fatigue and dying upon returning to their original state. Tobirama Senju is already a dead man.
These Multi Shadow Clone are practically made to exploit Tobirama Senju's labor power, instantly transforming him from a single-threaded being into a multi-threaded one, and his invincible brain suddenly multiplying into countless copies.
With Tobirama Senju working tirelessly for you 24/7, wouldn't your research efficiency skyrocket?
Uchiha Nan explained his thoughts to Tobirama Senju, leaving Tobirama Senju speechless. What he said actually made perfect sense.
However, his original intention in inventing the Impure World Reincarnation was not to treat himself like an animal.
No! This is worse than an animal; at least animals have time to eat, sleep, and rest.
Uchiha Nan actually made him work 24 hours a day, saying that only the living need to sleep, and that the dead sleeping is simply a waste of time.
When passion becomes a year-round job, its flavor changes.
You beast!
They truly are born evil, the Uchiha!
"Tobirama, you were the Second Hokage. Before you died, you devoted yourself to Konoha. Even your funeral generated revenue for Konoha. Your spirit continues to contribute to Konoha even after death."
"."
I would call it a great sacrifice!
Uchiha Nan kept praising Senju Tobirama, his words clashing sharply with his solemn expression, making Tobirama want to punch him.
How could someone so utterly immoral and unprincipled be an Uchiha?
What dark experiences did Uchiha Nan go through to become like this?
"Tobirama, don't you want Konoha to become great again?"
Uchiha Nan's words directly put Tobirama Senju. For the sake of Konoha, his hardships and exhaustion were worth it. I guess there's no such thing as mental fatigue in the Impure World Reincarnation) technique.
Tobirama Senju wasn't entirely sure about this. When he invented the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu, he had never considered this possibility. Could excessive mental and spiritual fatigue lead to the soul being completely destroyed?
"Agreeing to your request is no problem, the problem is that in my current state, I simply cannot cast the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. The sacrifice you used for the technique is far too poor."
Tobirama Senju made a request: he was fine with being a slave to Uchiha Nan, but he needed to be given the opportunity to do so. Right now, he could only use the ordinary Clone Technique.
With an Impure World Reincarnation body capable of using Multi Shadow Clone, he could barely unleash other Ninjutsu, such as his masterpiece Flying Thunder God Technique. Perhaps he could escape then. Tobirama Senju had his own little scheme in mind.
He still harbored the idea of defeating Uchiha Nan, but his thoughts were different now than before, and his opinion of Uchiha Nan had changed.
From someone who was destined to be killed to someone who could be won over, Uchiha Nan's plans for Konoha were very much to Tobirama Senju's liking, and some of his ingenious ideas even drew praise from Tobirama Senju.
Moreover, Uchiha Nan's ambition is even greater than that of his Madara Uchiha. While Madara Uchiha's vision was limited to the entire Ninja world, Uchiha Nan directly targets the Daimyo, aiming to overthrow the Ninja world's millennia-old system.
However, Uchiha Nan was much more reliable than Madara Uchiha; Madara Uchiha only knew how to brute force his way through. It wasn't entirely impossible, but regardless, Madara Uchiha still failed.
Uchiha Nan had his own set of theories and action plans, and if he implemented them gradually, he really had a chance of success.
Tobirama Senju was also curious to see what the future would be like, with no Daimyo and highly developed productivity. Surely it wouldn't still be like it is now, with the Ninja world engulfed in war.
Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju shared the same grand goal, but they had significant differences. Tobirama Senju felt that he was more suitable to be an executor than Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan is, after all, an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Just because his thought process seems normal now doesn't mean it will always be normal in the future.
For Konoha, he was always an unstable factor, and there was only one person in the entire Ninja world who could keep Uchiha Nan from causing trouble.
That's Tobirama Senju!
Defeating Uchiha Nan and regaining the Hokage Position was Tobirama Senju's goal. Is there a rule in Konoha that a dead person cannot continue to be Hokage?
Couldn't Tobirama Senju bring the dead back to life?
Moreover, he had been working tirelessly for Uchiha Nan in this dark and gloomy underground laboratory year-round, and all future honors would belong to Uchiha Nan alone. Tobirama Senju.
Being an unsung hero is not what Tobirama Senju aspired to be.
Tobirama Senju dreamed of becoming Hokage again. He combined his research abilities with Uchiha Nan's ingenious ideas, making Uchiha Nan his deputy. He could also keep Uchiha Nan in check to prevent him from acting recklessly, and together they could make Konoha bigger and stronger.
This is an absolutely perfect situation; everyone has a bright future ahead of them.
"I see."
"No problem, I can help you get a stronger body."
While Tobirama Senju was still lost in thought, Uchiha Nan had already agreed to Tobirama Senju's request, since it was a legitimate demand.
Uchiha Nan is no longer afraid of Tobirama Senju causing trouble. He is no longer the rash new ruler who relied on force to ascend to the Hokage Position.
Tobirama Senju has been dead for several months, and the situation in Konoha has changed drastically. The Hyuga Clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, the Inuzuka Clan —whether they are the major ninja clans of Konoha or the unknown small clans—have all been united by Uchiha Nan.
The minor ninja clan member Uchiha Nan, gave them a large sum of money. The major ninja clan member Uchiha Nan, not only gave them a large sum of money, but also the rights that Tobirama Senju had never granted them.
Even if Tobirama Senju were to be resurrected, Uchiha Nan wouldn't be afraid of him. Uchiha Nan had money and power; what would Tobirama Senju?
Is it a debt left over from the Fourth Ninja world War?
I'm sorry, Second, the Lord Third has given us far too much.
Seeing that Uchiha Nan agreed so easily, Tobirama Senju was extremely excited, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued to discuss Konoha's future development with Uchiha Nan.
"I remember there was a generator in Konoha. I led the team that built it back then. If we wanted to popularize electricity in Konoha, such a small generator wouldn't be enough."
"Not only do we need to improve them, but we also need to build more and convert them into large power plants."
"Regarding the power source for the generator, I have two options: Chakra and coal. In the past, Konoha's demand wasn't high, so we always used Chakra. Now that we're using electricity on a large scale, the Chakra that the original ninjas had isn't enough."
Uchiha Nan frowned. Supplying electricity to the entire Konoha would cost a fortune just for burning coal every month. You don't know the cost of firewood until you're in charge of the household. Although Hidden Konoha is wealthy now, Uchiha Nan would still try to save money wherever possible.
"Tobirama, how long do you think the Chakra drained from one Tailed Beast could supply Konoha with electricity?"
Uchiha Nan thought of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and felt that the Tailed Beast should be put to good use. It was such a waste to keep such a large Tailed Beast in the house and let it sleep inside Mito Uzumaki's belly all day.
Such a massive Nine-Tailed Demon Fox possesses an abundance of Chakra, comparable to the ocean. Even after draining the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox dry, it can slowly regenerate Nine-Tailed Demon Fox own Chakra —a top-tier power bank that's never wasted.
Most importantly, it's free. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is Konoha's property, so they can use it for free.
To put it bluntly, the day Mito Uzumaki became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, in Konoha, the attributes of her as a weapon outweighed her attributes as a human. She was also Konoha's property, but Mito Uzumaki's status was too special, so no one dared to say that.
He could use his Hokage status to freeload off Mito Uzumaki's labor.
You're truly heartless and insane!
"With the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox ' level of Chakra, Konoha's current size, one attack would take at least six months."
"."
Tobirama Senju wanted to crack open Uchiha Nan's brain to see what it was made of; how come he hadn't thought of such a brilliant idea?
"That solves Konoha's power problem!"
"Tobirama, you need to hurry up and get all this done. The electric lights are also crucial; you can start with those!"
"I'm going to install electric lights all over the streets of Konoha!"
Uchiha Nan became very interested; electric lights were of great significance to humanity.
At night, the entire Konoha becomes pitch black, much like a small, fifth- or sixth-tier town.
As soon as it got dark, there was no one left on the street.
Konoha's future lies in being the center of the Ninja world, the most prosperous area; how could it be in such a state?
"Why are you in such a hurry to turn on the light?"
Tobirama Senju Uchiha Nan's answer, thinking that given Uchiha Nan's thought process, his answer would definitely be different from what he expected.
Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's question, Uchiha Nan's expression turned serious.
"The widespread adoption of electric lights has a revolutionary impact on Konoha. From now on, both ninjas and villagers can not only work during the day, but also unleash their labor power at night, contributing to the development of Konoha."
After hearing this, Tobirama Senju suddenly felt an urge to hang Uchiha Nan on a street lamp.
