The Snow and Ice Exhibition Opens

"He's not here? That's a real shame." Although he felt a little disappointed, it was good for him to get some rest. Speaking of which, his schedule had been packed lately, and it was rare for him to have a day with more free time.

Although he has developed his physical energy quite well over the years, it would be good for him to have more time to rest.

I'd like to stay in your room for the night. Where's the guest room?

"As for guest rooms, there's another bedroom next to Bai's room, I think..." Sakurako thought for a moment; the house only had three bedrooms in total.

"Alright, then you go about your business and get some rest. I won't chat with you any longer today; I have to go train early tomorrow morning." Uchiha Shingen said, also feeling sleepy, and walked inside with his head down.

As soon as I walked past the dining room, I saw Pakura sitting in the living room.

Even this usually cool and collected Scorch Release ninja had a slightly flushed face.

"Eh? You're here too? You two are so close?" Uchiha Shingen was slightly surprised. He had been so busy with the exhibition lately that he hadn't noticed how close the two girls had become.

"It's alright, I came here to see you." Pakura smiled somewhat awkwardly.

She couldn't help but glance at Sakurako, who was walking out from behind Uchiha Shingen.

Women in the Bloody Mist Village are truly not to be judged by appearances alone.

She was completely stunned by what he said; it felt like a car wheel was running over her face repeatedly.

I only realized today that there are so many ways to drive.

Fortunately Uchiha Shingen responded in time and interrupted them.

"Looking for me?" Uchiha Shingen was a little puzzled, but still sat down on the opposite sofa. "What do you want?"

"Never mind, it's not a very important matter." Pakura shook his head, mainly because he wasn't in the mood.

She felt that her worldview had been severely impacted and needed to go back and process it.

But it's really not something you can say to Uchiha Shingen.

She actually cared a lot about her image in front of Uchiha Shingen.

"You should rest, I'll head back now." Pakura stood up. "Let's talk again when you're done."

"Alright..." Uchiha Shingen didn't mind; girls, you can't guess what they're thinking.

"Be careful when you sleep tonight," Pakura said, leaving Uchiha Shingen somewhat puzzled.

Uchiha Shingen did think about it for a while.

But this is Uchiha Clan Compound. To put it bluntly, in this timeline, Uchiha Clan Compound is the safest place for Uchiha Shingen.

In the current Ninja World, there's really no one who Susanoo one go; even Uzumaki Nagato might not be able to.

That's a different story in ten years.

But at that time, Uchiha Shingen felt that he was not the same as he is now, so he really didn't know who would win or lose if they fought.

"Lord Shingen, let me help you rest today," Sakurako said quickly as she saw Uchiha Shingen heading towards the bathroom.

"You're Uchiha Clan now, so stop calling me 'adult' and 'not adult,' just call me Brother Shingen."

When I first met Sakurako, she was dressed in a mature and sophisticated style, but she was actually the same age as Uchiha Shingen. In reality, her face was more cute, but her figure was just too perfect.

The two fruits of wisdom make one understand why Adam acted so foolishly back then; his swaying waist is enough to make anyone drool.

Over time, as they became more familiar with each other, Uchiha Shingen became less concerned about physical contact.

I just hope she can have a better attitude and stop dribbling and bumping into people so easily.

He's the leader of the contemporary Uchiha Clan Cavalry. If he's constantly provoked, he might just unleash a wall charge or a mounted archery charge one day when he's really into it.

However, right now, Uchiha Shingen's mind is filled with nothing but the Ice and Snow Exhibition.

This time is different from the first. He wants to use this platform to properly cultivate the image of the Uchiha Clan. The estrangement between Leaf Village and the Uchiha Clan has lasted for too long, and it cannot be completely reversed by Namikaze Minato's closeness alone.

The villagers of Leaf Village, or the vast majority of ordinary ninjas, still had a superficial and shallow understanding of the Uchiha Clan.

This is completely different from their understanding of Hokage.

To quell external threats, internal stability must come first. Economic measures can only prevent the Hokage Building and the Uchiha Clan from turning against each other, but to truly integrate the Uchiha Clan into Hidden Leaf Village, image promotion must be a long-term endeavor.

He, a former Senju Clan, went to such lengths for the Uchiha Clan. It would be truly unreasonable not to award him an prize after Uchiha Madara!

After washing up, Uchiha Shingen went to rest early.

Before going to sleep, he asked Sakurako to wake him up at four o'clock the next morning.

Perhaps it was because of his serious and focused expression; before he entered the room, it seemed as if Sakurako was treating this as an important task.

However, Sakurako is indeed a good girl; she never breaks a promise.

At four o'clock the next morning, Sakurako woke up Uchiha Shingen as promised.

Having rested and recuperated, Uchiha Shingen, full of energy, thanked them, washed up, and went out.

Before leaving, he made a point of checking on Sakurako, noticing that she didn't look well.

"Sakurako, it's still early, you should get some more sleep. Thank you for your help this morning. I'll go buy an alarm clock before I get back today. You can rest, don't worry about me."

"Okay, Shingen- kun, you should take care of yourself too," Sakurako said.

She felt that the riding gear still needed to be taken out.

Sure enough, starting with mounted cavalry was too abrupt and too difficult to implement.

Chapter Eleven: Ice and Snow Unfold

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the second Uchiha Ice and Snow Exhibition began as scheduled.

This time, the Uchiha Clan chose the location where the Nine-Tails had wreaked havoc.

Even before the exhibition officially opened, a large crowd of visitors had already gathered at the entrance and formed a long queue.

Thanks to the fact that most people in the ninja village possessed basic organizational skills, no unpleasant incidents occurred at the venue, provided that only a small number of ninjas were needed to maintain order.

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony by the contemporary Hokage, Namikaze Minato, the ice and snow exhibition officially began.

The eager visitors, upon entering the open entrance, immediately noticed the differences from the first ice and snow exhibition.

There were no longer those unique and magical buildings. This time, the architectural style was familiar to them; it was all the style of the Land of Fire.

And the names of each exhibition area are very familiar.

The battle between Leaf Village and Cloud Village.

The battle between Leaf Village and Iwagakure.

The battle between Leaf Village and Hidden Mist Village.

The battle between Leaf Village and Sand Village.

Among these, the names of various battles are marked.

As the villagers walked through the various exhibition areas, they discovered that this ice and snow exhibition showcased the heroic deeds of those who participated in the Third Shinobi World War.

Some heroes have names that are widely known, while others are completely unknown.

But they were all heroes of Hidden Leaf Village.

The villagers and ninjas who participated in the exhibition gradually became solemn, their initial excitement turning into a deep sense of reverence.

The ninjas witnessed the bloodshed and heart-wrenching separations of the past.

The villagers also saw what the group of people who were protecting their lives had gone through.

This is exactly what Uchiha Shingen wanted them to see.

The villagers of Hidden Leaf Village often only have fragmented knowledge about the war, and they are not even very clear about the history of Hidden Leaf Village. This makes them easy targets for manipulation by those with ulterior motives, turning them into a group of "mobs".

For example, Konoha White Fang's suicide had its own reasons and the background of the ninja system, but it was also fueled by the villagers' cold violence against him.

The key turning point in the decline of Leaf Village in the original timeline was the suicide of Konoha White Fang.

His death exposed certain shortcomings in the applicability of relatively primitive collectivist ideologies like the "Will of Fire."

If the ruling party lacks the ability to handle situations flexibly, it may end up hurting itself.

The villagers' ignorance of the actual situation will only make things worse.

History is like a tragedy; without the evil and disasters that stir up trouble within it, it would appear lifeless and repulsive.

History also has the function of eliminating prejudice and fostering passion, but there is no subject called history in the Hokage Continent. Ninjas' interest in history is limited to knowing how their ancestors showed off and passed down Ninjutsu, while ordinary people care almost nothing about it.

This was simply incomprehensible to Uchiha Shingen.

If any Leaf Village person knew even a little about history, the Uchiha Clan from the original timeline wouldn't have reached that point.

Thus, at the second Ice and Snow Exhibition, Uchiha Shingen created ice sculptures using Ice Release to recreate the war scenes of the Third Shinobi World War to the greatest extent possible. He hoped to use this as a starting point to truly bring ninjas and ordinary people closer together, and to bring the Uchiha Clan and the villagers closer together.

The Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan were the founders and protectors of Leaf Village.

The Third Shinobi World War was not, as the villagers imagined, a time when Leaf Village was a formidable force that swept across the land.

Namikaze Minato and the Legendary Sannin were very active in the Third Shinobi World War, but that was the elegance of the strong. Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Leaf Village could no longer spare much manpower to intercept them, which is why Kakashi was quickly promoted and Team Minato four split into two groups, with three blowing up the bridge and one providing support.

Let's not even mention the Battle of Kikyo Pass between Leaf Village and Sand Village. Kikyo Pass wasn't far from Hidden Leaf Village, and the Land of Fire was invaded by the enemy.

Imposing and awe-inspiring? Imposing my foot!

The only group that was suppressed by Leaf Village was Hidden Mist Village, but there was also the tragic moment when Might Duy burned his life force to cripple the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Uchiha Shingen suddenly appearing Third Shinobi World War Uchiha Shingen World War, Leaf Village's 54th year would have been the most painful year since its founding—being Cloud Village on and humiliated by Leaf Village.

The difficulty of this war was what Uchiha Shingen wanted to show the villagers.

For the villagers of Leaf Village, this year's ice and snow exhibition was both novel and heavy.

Especially for those whose families had ninjas, they saw the hardships their families had endured.

This is far more impactful on their hearts than those overly sensationalized "heroic deeds."

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. On Blue Star, film and television are the most powerful propaganda tools, the easiest way to connect with the audience's hearts and resonate with them.

Unless that director is just after easy money.

Although Uchiha Shingen wasn't a professional, he didn't take easy money.

Sakurako and Shiro also visited the exhibition as visitors. The two stayed in the Hidden Mist Village Battlefield exhibit area. Here, Sakurako saw the image of the Yuki Clan ninja created by Uchiha Shingen based on his memories. It has to be said that Uchiha Shingen did not add too much personal emotional bias just because he was Leaf Village ninja, which is why these exhibits are so touching.

Pakura lingered mostly in the Sand Village battlefield exhibition area, looking at the exhibits related to Konoha White Fang again and again, reminiscing about the past with great emotion.

However, none of the exhibition areas were as crowded as the central stage performance.

Because it was here that Uchiha Shingen staged the "Battle of Kannabi Bridge" on the first day.

The so-called stage was just a large sand tray.

Uchiha Shingen used flowing and malleable ice sand to depict the entire Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi, the two living participants, naturally served as the voice actors for "themselves," while the rest had to be voiced by others.

For example, the voice actor for Uchiha Obito was Uchiha Tekka, mainly because Obito really had a similar temperament to Tekka now.

Nobody cares about this minor flaw.

The birth of the two Sharingan heroes shocked all the viewers.

After the play ended, Hatake Kakashi sat backstage, lost in thought for a long time.

He felt as if he were reliving the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

As the ice and sand scattered and gathered, they revealed his lost companions before his eyes. Their lifelike appearance made him feel as if he had traveled through time.

But what complicated his feelings even more was the audience's reaction.

When he stepped out from behind the curtain, he was surrounded by many villagers.

These people came to apologize; they had all spoken ill of Konoha White Fang to some extent back then.

Uchiha Shingen felt that the whole performance had been worthwhile.

Mistakes cannot be erased, but they can be remedied as much as possible.

This drama will not only make the villagers rethink Konoha White Fang, but also give them a new understanding of the Uchiha Clan.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen and other high-ranking Uchiha Obito had actually betrayed the village, they wouldn't criticize the show because of that.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife did die at the hands of Uchiha Obito was undoubtedly a hero Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, who valued the village more than his own life, he would consider the two Uchiha Obito. This trait was his core competitive advantage that enabled him to become Hokage.

After finishing the first performance and saying goodbye to the voice actors, Uchiha Shingen went home using the Flying Thunder God Cut.
