Entering the City
Uchiha and Senju Hashirama walked in front, followed by Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama, and then the Ninjutsu genius, the God of Shinobi, and the First Hokage.
When Uchiha arrived at the city gate, Uchiha Kō, along with the First Five Kage (in their Reanimated Body), Konoha High Command, Nara Rokumei, Hatake Sakumo, and others, came to the city gate to greet him.
"Welcome back Great Grandfather, for your triumphant victory!" Uchiha Kō clasped his hands in a salute, his face gentle, exuding the aura of a mature leader.
Uchiha and Senju Hashirama exchanged a glance and simultaneously bowed, saying, "Lord Hokage!" Uchiha Izuna and Senju Tobirama also bowed, their slight prostrations conveying both dignity and humility.
Even the most venerable and Ninjutsu geniuses in the God of Shinobi, who always valued hierarchy, couldn't help but scrutinize them. At this moment, Uchiha Kō stepped forward and personally helped Senju Hashirama and Uchiha up. "Please get up quickly. You two are the founders of Konoha, and personally, you are my elders. From now on, there is no need for you to bow."
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha nodded with smiles. "We have not failed in our mission!"
Uchiha Kō nodded and said, "Get up, all of you!" Hearing his words, Izuna and Tobirama stood up and stood behind Hashirama and Uchiha. Uchiha and Senju Hashirama simultaneously made way for them.
Uchiha Kō walked over, a slight smile playing on his lips, and sized up the two before speaking, "You are my Great Grandfather from another timeline?" Uchiha Kō chuckled.
The God of Shinobi was unaware of the situation or when he had conceived a child. He glanced at the Ninjutsu Prodigy, Ninjutsu shook his head. Finally, the God of Shinobi focused his attention on Uchiha.
Uchiha nodded slightly to Uchiha Izuna. The God of Shinobi looked at the Ninjutsu genius in shock. The Ninjutsu genius was stunned. "What the hell?! When did I have a grandson?"
Suddenly, the Ninjutsu genius paused, as if he had done something indescribable one day, then pulled up his pants, paid the money, and left. He looked at Uchiha Kō, Uchiha Kō nodded!
The Ninjutsu prodigy's expression changed drastically. "If I'd known this grandson was so promising, I shouldn't have treated that person like that!" He was now filled with extreme regret.
"Great Grandfather, please come in and talk. We can't shield the old man Heavenly Dao's senses here." After saying that, Uchiha Kō gestured for him to come in, his attitude respectful.
The God of Shinobi nodded and took the lead, going in without fear of anyone. Close behind him was Uchiha Izuna. It was always his older brother who went first and he went behind. When his brother fought, he assisted him; when his brother bathed, he protected him; when his brother fought, he helped him; when his brother studied, he accompanied him.
Uchiha Kō smiled and led the group back into the city.
In the universe
With a gloomy face, Heavenly Dao watched this scene and snorted coldly, "Damn it! This Uchiha Kō is truly despicable!" His aura surged out, and the pressure from the Dao level covered the entire area.
The crowd turned pale. Although they looked down on the old man, his strength was undeniably formidable. They even felt that he could kill them with a single finger if he made a move!
"Next, I don't want any more problems!" Heavenly Dao slowly spoke, then closed his eyes to adjust his mindset. At this moment, he hated Uchiha Kō to the core.
What made this guy qualify for the position of humanity? Was it simply because he developed technology? Or was it because of his mere mortal body? Or was his strength so pathetic that he was favored by the will of the world?
The atmosphere inside the city and in space are worlds apart.
Uchiha Kō entered the hall and sat in the main seat. The others stood in front of him, their bodies ramrod straight and their eyes bright. The God of Shinobi looked at all this with disbelief. Even Hashirama's Konoha couldn't achieve this state. What charm did this kid have that made everyone recognize him?
He knew very well that he and Hashirama were respected because of their strength, but the people present were clearly different. Their eyes shone with light, and they had aspirations for the future. This was not something that could be achieved by power and strength alone. This Uchiha Kō must have some extraordinary abilities.
Uchiha Kō began, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. Tonight, we'll hold a grand banquet to welcome Qingshui, the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, and other Ninjutsu geniuses. We'll also bring some delicious food for the night shift ninjas, and ensure that every strategic weapon on the city wall is manned."
Uchiha Kō spoke, issuing a series of orders, and then messengers began running around the military camps in the city one after another.
Strict military discipline and absolute obedience to orders—this action once again shocked the God of Shinobi. Even the Uchiha Clan at their peak probably couldn't have done this. Moreover, those who received orders from Uchiha Kō weren't just from the Uchiha Clan, but also from the Hyuga, Senju, and others, and no one objected or questioned it.
The God of Shinobi was about to ask when the Ninjutsu genius tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, don't rush. Whatever it is, we can talk about it at the banquet. After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, when everyone is in high spirits, it'll be easier to ask."
The Ninjutsu genius truly lived up to his reputation as the chief steward of the God of Shinobi; he could always assess the situation and solve Uchiha's problems. Uchiha fell silent at Ninjutsu genius's words, then nodded. "Alright!"
They believed their voices were so quiet that only two people could hear them, but how could they possibly hide them from Uchiha Kō master of the Earthly Dao and the human world?
For any person in the Ninja World, knowing what happened before is just a matter of a thought. Every move of every living being on the land of the Ninja World is under the full surveillance of Uchiha Kō.
The two, Ninjutsu prodigy and God of Shinobi, are now human beings in the Ninja World, and their every move cannot be kept secret from Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō showed no outward reaction to their words, but inwardly he was pondering what they would ask. A wise man is never unprepared.
The crowd began to move, and a festive atmosphere permeated the entire city.
Uchiha Kō stood up, followed closely by the Konoha High Command and ninjas. Uchiha Kō told them not to be so nervous, that it was safe here, but under the strict demands of Hatake Sakumo and Nara Rokumei, he had no choice but to accept.
He walked up to the God of Shinobi and the Ninjutsu genius. "Leave the First Hokage to us. Someone, come here." After he finished speaking, medical-nin stepped forward, carrying medical kits filled with IV drips, syringes, and pills.
The God of Shinobi frowned. "What's going on here?"
Tsunade, who was leading the medical-nin team, said with a smile, "This is a new type of medical equipment from Konoha. It combines drug treatment, intravenous infusion, and intramuscular injection. Through their combined effects, it can help patients avoid the lifespan reduction caused by repeated use of Mystical Palm Technique."
The God of Shinobi's face twitched. Was this still the Ninja World I knew? This thing actually had such an effect! Did that mean that using these things could heal injured ninjas with minimal side effects?
"Who invented this thing?" the Ninjutsu genius asked hastily. He knew all too well the benefits of this thing; if such a thing existed, it would be a complete revolution in the Ninja World!
Everyone knows that the Mystical Palm Technique can heal quickly, but its side effects are also an open secret. After all, in times of war, living past thirty is considered a long life.
However, if this medicine were to be invented at the time of Konoha's founding, it would greatly extend the lifespan of the villagers. If his elder brother possessed this medicine, he could become not only Hokage but also the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Tsunade blinked. "This thing was developed by Orochimaru and me. I was responsible for providing the knowledge base, and Orochimaru was responsible for conducting the experiments. Oh right, the inspiration came from my husband!" she said with a coquettish smile.
"Your husband?" The Ninjutsu genius understood that only the person who provided the inspiration was the core. If he didn't provide the inspiration, then no one would research in this direction, and this thing would never have been created.
He looked down at the nurse giving Senju Hashirama acupuncture and adjusting his medicine, lost in thought, "May I ask what your husband's name is?"
"My Great Grandfather from another world is me, Uchiha Kō." Uchiha Kō said with a smile, and then Tsunade and hugged him tightly. "Honey, I missed you so much~"
"Honey~ come on down, so many people are watching!" Uchiha Kō coaxed Tsunade with a smile. Tsunade pouted; war was just too awful. If it were peacetime, she and Uchiha Kō would probably already be doing that.
After calming Tsunade, Uchiha Kō looked at the two of them. "After the war, I will give you some of the world's technology. I hope you will use it well and treat the people kindly."
"And with this achievement, Great Grandfather will surely be able to become Hokage Position!" Uchiha Kō said.
"Besides, your love for Konoha is no less than that of the First Hokage. In fact, you even gave Konoha its name, didn't you, Great Grandfather? So, Great Grandfather, don't disappoint me when you go back after the war. Also, you should smile more often. With such a handsome face, if you always have a stern expression, people will be afraid," Uchiha Kō said.
The God of Shinobi nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong. He should be this guy's elder; how could a junior lecture a younger one?
He glared back, thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand." After saying that, his face turned red. This was the first time someone had ever complimented him on his looks. The reason why Uchiha Kō complimented him on his looks was because his face was about 70-80% similar to Owl's.
So saying he's handsome is just a way of saying he's handsome himself. Nara Rokumei understood Uchiha Kō's implied meaning and rolled his eyes. Indeed, Uchiha Kō was the number one of Konoha's top ten handsome men. This guy didn't know that he always had a bunch of female fans voting for him.
If he hadn't been in control of the voting booth, he would have suspected that Uchiha Kō had rigged the vote!
