Tobirama, from now on, you'll be called Zhang San.

"That's enough, Mito. Stop squeezing. The containers used to store Chakra are all full."

"I think Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is going to die."

"The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is Konoha's greatest treasure now. We need to understand the principle of sustainable use. We won't do something as unprofitable as draining the pond to catch all the fish."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has now been stripped of its original form; its once smooth and lustrous fur has become withered and dry, and even its once enormous body has shrunk considerably.

Uchiha Nan quickly stopped Mito Uzumaki, who was acting like a high-powered juicer. Chakra was of paramount importance to Tailed Beast, and they couldn't afford to damage Nine-Tailed Demon Fox by extracting its true essence.

"That's not what you said just now. Who said that Tailed Beast Chakra is free and that you should just extract it?"

"The lives of the Tailed Beast are worthless; they can be resurrected anyway, Chakra the better."

The louder the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox ' roar, the more Chakra it still has.

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan criticize her for overreacting in extracting the Nine-Tails Chakra, Mito Uzumaki immediately repeated Uchiha Nan's outrageous remarks.

This despicable man, devoid of any moral compass, was so overjoyed when he saw his Chakra containers filling up one after another that he practically danced with glee.

They're still putting on an act here!

Ha!

When will I get my one million taels?

Mito Uzumaki inwardly scorned Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan directly demanded her reward from him.

"Don't worry, Mito-sama, I'm very trustworthy. The money is going through Konoha Electric Power Company's account, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"Before that, I have another question I'd like to ask: when will the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox 'Chakra be restored?"

Uchiha Nan took this issue very seriously. Chakra is one of the mainstream energy sources in the future, and the more times the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox can be recycled, the better. The container for storing Chakra can also be expanded a little more.

"You damn beast!"

"You beast!"

"Uchiha Nan, I'm already like this, and you still want to drain me dry!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox completely lost control of his emotions. Despite being so weak that he couldn't even stand up, he still yelled and cursed, accusing Uchiha Nan of his beastly behavior.

Even Mito Uzumaki felt a pang of pity at the pitiful cries. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the leader of the Nine Tailed Beasts, had fallen to such a state. Uchiha Nan had really gone too far.

They truly are born evil, the Uchiha!

But sorry, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, each draw costs one million taels!

"Based on my understanding of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, its Chakra will take about two months to fully recover automatically, at most three months. If it works hard to recover, it might only take less than two months."

Mito Uzumaki revealed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox ' secrets to Uchiha Nan without any hesitation.

For Tsunade's future, she had to earn as much money as possible. After waiting so many years, she finally found such an easy way to make money; she couldn't let it slip away.

"Mito-sama, for the sake of Konoha, you must urge Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to recover its health as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll take care of Nine-Tailed Demon Fox ' recovery!"

"Hahaha, Mito-sama is truly a pillar of Konoha!"

Uchiha Nan and Mito Uzumaki finalized the matter by speaking in unison.

"Disgusting, disgusting!"

"You can't wait until I'm asleep to do this kind of thing. You're secretly discussing it, and now you're even talking about how to drain me dry in front of me."

"Even Madara Uchiha wouldn't do something like this. You two are nothing but bandits, worse than bandits, and you still expect us Tailed Beast to remember your kindness as humans?"

"You've messed it up, old man Six Paths, you've really messed it up!"

"."

Seeing the two of them colluding in their evil deeds, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox cursed them again. At the same time, she couldn't help but think back to the days when she was Madara Uchiha. Those days didn't seem so bad, at least they were better than now.

However, Uchiha Nan and Mito Uzumaki ignored Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's accusations, happily reached an agreement, and then went home.

Mito Uzumaki returned home with light steps, and after a while, several leather suitcases filled with money were delivered to her by Anbu ninjas.

One million taels! Making money is so easy!

While marveling at how easily he made money, Mito Uzumaki asked Tomoki Senju to gather information about the Konoha Power Plant.

If we replaced the Tailed Beast Chakra with coal, how much would it cost per year?

Not long after, Mito Uzumaki received a detailed investigation report. Skipping over the irrelevant parts, Mito Uzumaki went straight to the section she was concerned about: the annual cost of coal consumed by the power plant.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred million?

Mito Uzumaki could hardly believe her eyes; the number was so different from her reward that it didn't make any sense at all!

Count again?

"One, ten, hundreds of billions. Ugh. Aaaaaaah!!! Uchiha Nan, you really are a beast!!!!"

In an instant, a shrill shout of curses echoed throughout the entire Senju Clan Land.

A few days later

Hokage's Office

"The ideological textbook is finally finished!"

Uchiha Nan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. On the table was a small red booklet. The Ninja Academy's enrollment was about to end, and he had always wanted to do something practical for the development of the Ninja Academy.

Each Hokage has their own guiding principles. Although they are all nominally under the name of the First Hokage's Will of Fire, their underlying meanings are different.

The First's ideology was to pursue peace and end the bloodshed and war of the Warring States Period.

The Second's philosophy was stability. With the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju did his utmost to maintain stability, both in the face of the precarious situation in the Ninja world and the restless Uchiha Tobirama Senju within the country.

Uchiha Nan also wanted to plant his own mental imprint on Konoha.

Changing the mindset of the ninjas of his time required him to use both authoritarian politics and incentives to reform them.

Teaching those young children is much easier; you just need to instill the right values in them.

Materialist dialectics, the commercialization of ninjas, class contradictions.

Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan to incorporate the essence of thought accumulated in the Rabbit Country of his previous life into the Will of Fire of Konoha, but that was a massive undertaking, so he had to find helpers.

Because his ideas were too shocking and unsystematic, publishing them abruptly would inevitably result in them being heavily criticized and taken down. Therefore, Uchiha Nan turned to his good ox, his good helper Tobirama Senju.

Through his numerous nighttime debates with Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Nan continuously refined his theories, systematizing them and localizing them within the Ninja world. In the future, these theories will undoubtedly guide Konoha's ninjas down a new path.

This monumental work, capable of changing the landscape of the Ninja world, is one that Uchiha Nan, the author, would be remembered for eternity even if he disregarded his other identities.

Faced with this immense honor, Tobirama Senju, wanting a piece of the pie, hoping to have his name added to the author's list.

Uchiha Nan argued forcefully, saying that he was now the Third Hokage of Konoha, and each generation had its own way of thinking. What was a dead Hokage doing here?

However, Tobirama Senju vehemently refuted Uchiha Nan, stating that he deserved half the credit for the creation of this book and that his name had to be added, otherwise he would go on strike!

Finally, Uchiha Nan and Tobirama Senju each compromised, Tobirama Senju could use an alias and be credited as an author alongside Uchiha Nan.

"Lu Yuan, this book will be the official textbook for the Will of Fire in Konoha. All students in the Ninja Academy must read it thoroughly. If they can memorize it, they will receive extra points on their graduation exam."

"Every registered Konoha Ninja must have a copy and memorize the highlighted sections within a month. I will be sending people to check later."

"At the same time, we'll distribute some to the villagers of Konoha for free, so we can all improve together."

Uchiha Nan instructed Nara Luyuan to print tens of thousands of copies of his book and distribute them in Konoha. If the feedback was positive, he was to double the print run.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Nara Luyuan took the book, glanced at the cover, and was struck by the striking gold lettering of "Will of Fire." But why were there two authors listed?

"Uchiha Nan and Zhang Sanzhu"

Who is Zhang San?

Nara Luyuan swore he had never heard of anyone named Zhang San in Konoha. The political significance of Uchiha Nan's book was obvious; it set the tone for future work in Konoha.

A name I'd never heard before appeared in this book, and something eerie was definitely going on. To make sure his work went smoothly, Nara Luyuan decided to ask the Lord Hokage who this Zhang San was.

"Lord Hokage, may I ask who Zhang San is?"

Tobirama Senju asked the same question.

"An outstanding citizen who is knowledgeable about legal loopholes and capable of escaping legal punishment even if he deliberately violates the law, yet still abides by the law!"

At the time, Uchiha Nan replied to Tobirama Senju in a very serious and methodical manner, but Tobirama Senju was skeptical of Uchiha Nan's nonsense. Could there really be such a pushover in this world?

Later, Tobirama felt the name was unpleasant and wanted to change it, but Uchiha Nan didn't give Tobirama Senju a chance to object and directly made the decision, then slipped away from the underground laboratory.

"I see, Lord Hokage. Mr. Zhang San is truly remarkable."

Nara Luyuan didn't believe Uchiha Nan's nonsense either, but Nara Luyuan chose to obey Uchiha Nan, since his leader was right.

After explaining the printing of the new edition of Will of Fire, Uchiha Nan began to inquire about the movements of the other four major ninja villages. The First Shinobi World War had ended, but the post-war landscape was not yet settled.

Konoha is going to do big business in the future, and the most important thing in doing business is peace and stability. We must hold Five Kage Summit to settle everything.

"Sunagakure remains unchanged. The Daimyo has cut funding, and the Kazekage has personally taken to the desert as a gold miner. As a result, Sunagakure has been forced to gradually reduce the number of ninjas, and ninja training is trending towards an elite approach."

"The mess left by the great battle in Kumogakure is no less than that of Konoha back then, Third Raikage..."

"After the death of Mu, the Mū of Iwagakure, a successor has been chosen: the Third Tsuchikage, named Ōnoki. He has mastered the Dust Release Kekkei Tōta, the Kekkei Tota of the Second Tsuchikage, and was already the publicly known successor while the Mu, the Second Tsuchikage alive."

"But Kirigakure is in a bit of trouble. The Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage, died suddenly, and his successor hasn't been decided yet. Kirigakure is currently embroiled in internal strife, with the Hōzuki Clan Kaguya Clan, and even Suitō, the former bodyguard of the First Mizukage, all vying for the Third Mizukage."

Uchiha Nan thought for a moment and began to recall the content of the Hokage anime. The Third Mizukage seemed to be the squinty-eyed bodyguard next to the First Mizukage, Byakuren. So his name was Suitō.

If it weren't for Nara Luyuan's reminder, Uchiha Nan wouldn't have known the Third Mizukage's name.

Name unknown, personality unknown, Ninjutsu unknown.

The Third Mizukage is an enigmatic figure in the Hokage anime, but what we do know from the anime is that the Blood Mist Era of Kirigakure began during his tenure.

During his rule, he stigmatized and demonized the Bloodstained Ninjas, and rejected them in his policies. Later, the Kaguya Clan revolted and was wiped out, Yuki Clan either died or fled.

Obito Uchiha had turned to sycophancy and corruption, seized the opportunity to control the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and continued to extend the Blood Mist Policy to ordinary ninjas.

If it weren't for Mei Terumi's sudden appearance and her ability to reunite the ninja within Kirigakure, Kirigakure might have Obito.

Kirigakure is truly tragic; they've run into a carbon copy of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, this should be considered good news for Konoha. After all, it's not the god-like opponents that are scary, but the pig-like teammates. Let the Third Mizukage persecute his own bloodline ninjas, and we'll find an opportunity to bring them all to Konoha later!

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly Uchiha Nan heard a familiar system voice in his ear. Was this a side quest being triggered, a new mission being issued?

[Bloodstained Godfather: Invite three or more non- Konoha bloodstained families to join Konoha]

Reward: Sixty Lottery chance!

[Donuts are so delicious: cream puffs, desserts, cola, milk tea. High sugar is true love, starting a trend of high sugar foods in the Ninja world.]

Reward: Twenty Lottery chance

[The Voice of the Ninja world: Singing empowers people, creating ten songs that have become hits throughout the Ninja world.]

Reward: Twenty Lottery chance!

Three new missions were refreshed at once. Uchiha Nan glanced through the mission requirements and rewards. The requirements were high, but the number of reward opportunities was quite large. However, it was too reliant on luck.

It's useless to take it, but a pity to throw it away!

What bad luck! Chiha Nan shook his head, putting the mission aside, and continued listening to Nara Luyuan's report.

"Based on intelligence from Kirigakure."

"It will probably take at least another month for Kirigakure to elect a new Third Mizukage; the Five Kage Summit."

"."

Uchiha Nan nodded after listening to Nara Luyuan's report. It seemed that the Five Kage Summit would have to be postponed for a while longer.

"Send invitations to Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure first. As for Kirigakure, let's leave it at that for now and see when they choose their Mizukage."

Nara Luyuan nodded, then prepared to go out to do the things Uchiha Nan had asked him to do, but turned back halfway to the door.

"Lord Hokage, the Ninja Academy's admissions process is almost over, aren't you going to take a look?"

"As is customary, the Hokage is required to attend the school's admissions process in person."

Uchiha Nan was stunned; he had almost forgotten about this matter, as he had been busy with the Konoha power plant project recently.

The Ninja Academy is a breeding ground exclusively for the Hokage to cultivate his trusted confidants. Tobirama Senju would personally attend the recruitment process for a few days each year to demonstrate his importance as Hokage to the matter.

"Let's go take a look!"

Uchiha Nan felt that slacking off in the office was really boring, so he thought it would be good to take a stroll around the Ninja Academy.

Konoha Ninja Academy

Even though enrollment was almost over, the admissions office was still packed with people. Becoming a ninja meant possessing power, and people knew all too well what power meant in a chaotic world.

"It's really lively here."

When Uchiha Nan arrived at the admissions office, his Hokage Divine Robe instantly ignited the atmosphere, and amidst cheers, the crowd automatically made way for Uchiha Nan.

"Lu Yuan, are there any promising students among the students you recruited this year?"

"Let's leave aside the ninja clan; I'd like to know if there are any promising talents among the common people."

Uchiha Nan Nara Luyuan, who had come with Uchiha Nan, named several talented civilian children from the Ninja Academy who were born with more Chakra than the average ninja child.

Uchiha Nan was listening when his attention was drawn to a conspicuous figure.

Wearing a dark green training uniform, with a watermelon-shaped hairstyle resembling a pot lid, and thick eyebrows.

Might Guy?

No, this guy should be called Might Duy now!

Please, let me try one more time.

"I may not have the talent for Ninjutsu, but I can become an excellent ninja through Taijutsu."

"The passion of youth!"

"Kid, I remember you already registered last year, right? I even made an exception and let you take the test again, so stop making trouble here!"

The teacher in charge of admissions was already impatient; if it weren't for the Lord Hokage watching from the side, he would have lost his temper and physically chased them away.

"Lord Hokage."

I'll take that little guy away right now.

Nara Luyuan a little nervous, realizing he hadn't done his job well enough; Uchiha Nan had arrived just in time to see this scene.

"Don't!"

"Let him through!"

"Give him enough training resources, and he will become an unprecedentedly powerful ninja in the future, the kind who could kill Hashirama Senju with a single kick!"

Uchiha Nan stopped Nara Luyuan. Others might not know Might Duy's future, but how could he not?

The user of the Eight Gates technique kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a pile of hapless mishaps with just a few kicks, and his son Might Guy almost ended the series with a single kick!

"What.?"

"Kick the First- sama to death?"

"Lord Hokage."

Nara Luyuan somewhat exasperated. He knew that his Lord Hokage sometimes liked to talk nonsense, but this time his words were far too outrageous.
