Today is Obito's first day on the job as a candidate for Village Head of Konoha. The Third Hokage specially prepared an office for him in the Hokage Building. The superficial formalities were handled quite well. Tsunade had dragged him up early this morning to get him properly groomed.
Dressed in a black base layer with a white robe and a purple-hilted long blade at his waist, he looked even more heroic, possessing the air of a young nobleman from the Warring States period. Walking down the street, he caused young women and wives alike to stop and look back repeatedly...
After entering the Hokage Building and being led by staff, Obito arrived at his office. Hmm... it looked quite simple: a desk, an office chair, a small coffee table, a bookshelf, photos of past Hokage on the wall, and a map of the Naruto World.
Obito walked over to the map and paused to observe it. Land of Rivers, Land of Rain, Land of Grass, Land of Hot Water... these were all small nations sandwiched between the Five Great Nations. Every time a war broke out, it spelled doom for these small countries; their lands became battlefields with no human rights to speak of. In the original story, Nagato's parents were killed when Konoha ninja broke into their home. It's no wonder Nagato didn't go to other villages, but leveled Konoha specifically!
Thinking of the Land of Rain and calculating the time, he wondered how far those three in the Land of Rain had progressed. In Obito's plan, Nagato's Rinnegan held great significance!
According to the plot of the original story, the essential items to resurrect Kaguya are the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan. Excluding the one Sasuke awakened later with the help of the Sage of Six Paths, the only pair of Rinnegan in the entire Naruto World belonged to Madara. That is, the pair Nagato was using...
As long as these two things exist, Obito can control the resurrection of Kaguya! As for the Madara resurrected via Impure World Reincarnation, Obito is confident he can defeat him. Besides, Impure World Reincarnation requires a corpse; if he just cremated Madara directly... would that be the end of Madara?
Once he settles things in Konoha, he must take a trip to the Land of Rain. It would be best to subdue the Akatsuki organization; otherwise, he might as well let those three poor souls go enjoy their rest early. Living is like being in an endless hell, so death might not be a form of liberation.
Furthermore, Obito has another idea he needs to verify...
Just as Obito was distracted while looking at the map, Kakashi had already arrived at the door.
The door was left open. Seeing Obito staring at the map, Kakashi felt incredibly conflicted...
He, who had always been known as a genius, had been left far behind by the former dead-last, and even his father, whom he had always worshipped, admitted that he was no longer a match for Obito!
Moreover, he heard that two days ago, Obito fought Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, and severely injured him without even using his full strength. Even that powerful summoning beast was killed...
Standing at the door, Kakashi didn't know how to address Obito for a moment. Should he call him Obito... or Lord Obito...
"Oh, Kakashi, you're here. Come in..." Obito snapped out of his thoughts, turned around, and discovered Kakashi standing at the door.
At this time, White Fang was still alive, so naturally, Kakashi wasn't wearing that mask covering his face. He was a handsome young man on par with Obito—PS warning: this description was strongly requested by Obito!
However, he was much shorter than Obito, looking more like a normal, half-grown kid.
"What? Don't recognize me?" Obito said with a hint of amusement.
"You've changed quite a bit, I really didn't recognize you. Anyway, I'll be your assistant from now on. Please take care of me!" Kakashi said with deep emotion.
"Easy, easy. As long as I have meat to eat, you'll definitely have soup to drink!"
"You'd better keep it for yourself!" Kakashi said, knitting his brows.
"No more jokes, I have to work! Do as you please. I don't have anything for you to do for now. You can stay here, go out to play, or train," Obito said.
"I'll be right outside the door. Just call me if you need anything," Kakashi said before exiting and closing the door.
Heh, making Kakashi eat humble pie really is a pleasant thing...
Obito took out paper and pen. He already had a preliminary idea on how to use Orochimaru to add bricks and mortar to his plan: connect the research of Orochimaru and Tsunade! What Orochimaru researches seems to be combat-oriented or rather evil, but everything has two sides. For instance, Orochimaru's research on cells is absolutely top-tier in the Naruto World.
Cell proliferation and regeneration, combined with Tsunade's medical ninjutsu—then surgeries like organ transplants could be performed! Plus, with the existence of something as miraculous as chakra, problems that modern medicine can't solve might just be completed here!
Looking at the people of the Naruto World, the average age of death is generally low. There are factors of war, factors of living standards, and many factors of injury and illness!
Relying solely on a small number of medical ninja cannot solve so many problems, which led to a phenomenon: Konoha's ninja hospital only accepts injured ninja, while ordinary people shouldn't even dream of it.
This is a situation Obito must break. The utilization of resources cannot remain only in the hands of ninja.
Before he transmigrated, countless facts proved the importance of one sentence: he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! Ninja are also produced from the masses!
Obito wrote down his thoughts one by one. He would find an opportunity to call Tsunade and Orochimaru together for a small meeting to determine a project and try to move forward!
Most importantly, doing this now means he can openly use Konoha's public funds... it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
The day passed in a flash. Obito organized his notes and stored them in the Kamui dimension. He stretched and prepared to get off work!
Opening the door, he saw Kakashi still standing there, playing with a Kunai.
"Off work. Want to come to my place for a meal? We haven't eaten together in a long time," Obito asked.
"I won't bother you. I still need to go back and train," Kakashi said, then disappeared after a few leaps.
Obito shook his head helplessly. It seemed he had hit Kakashi too hard. Let me see just how far you can go without the Sharingan!
In his previous life, Kakashi was extremely popular. The four people of Team 7 were the ones who ran through the entire plot from beginning to end, with Sakura being a bit of a side character.
Many people discussed how far Kakashi could grow without the Sharingan. Could he reach the level of the Yellow Flash? Obito is prepared to use this life to get the answer.
The large red sun was half-hidden behind orange-red clouds. The sunset glow illuminated half the sky in orange-red. On the streets, people who had finished their day's work gathered in twos and threes, discussing the things they encountered today. From time to time, hearty or gentle laughter erupted. Some groups of three or five friends gathered to go to an izakaya for a drink.
Obito walked on the road to pick up Tsunade from work, his mood inevitably affected. It is only certain people who are wrong, not this beautiful world.
