The Great Trainer Uchiha Madara / Everyone Wants to Introduce Themselves to a Strong Man Like Uchiha Madara

"I'm the Hokage, how could I possibly jump out of a window?" Namikaze Minato in denial, refusing to accept this. "You're really mistaken."

Uchiha Shingen recalled Uchiha Fugaku's evaluation of this Lord Hokage.

Looking back now, that was truly a very apt description.

Namikaze Minato is actually a difficult person to be in the way that people would expect from a friend. From a young age, he has been thinking from the perspective of a superior, considering the big picture. He often tries to calculate gains and losses, fight ruthlessly, and do what he should do when he should do it, all from the perspective of the Hokage. Therefore, when Sarutobi Hiruzen saw him shine, he accelerated his training and honed him as a successor.

Namikaze Minato has always been a person who is more rational than emotional, even when it came to Uzumaki Kushina.

It's not hard to understand why this guy, who had never let up in his entire life, suddenly became very "lax" and wanted to step down.

Moreover, this method now...

The second son used it back then! Don't think he couldn't tell!

Chapter Fourteen: The Great Trainer Uchiha Madara

Uchiha Shingen quickly lost interest in whether Namikaze Minato was planning to jump out the window.

He quickly became extremely busy.

The Ninja World is a circle that is always full of surprises and unpredictability, after all, there are very few people who can crush anyone else.

Uchiha Shingen is currently staying in the village, overseeing the central command, which, in terms of results, is no less stressful than the frontline execution team.

He even considered doing it himself.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

As the work progressed, feedback from the Sand Village quickly arrived.

No matter how magnanimous the Sand Village ninjas are, they can't tolerate a traitor who killed their own Kazekage joining another ninja village so brazenly.

It's a former second-tier ninja village.

Nagato truly didn't take Sand Village seriously.

In response to Sand Village's written request to hand over Sasori of the Red Sands, Nagato stated to the messenger, "He's standing right here. If you can arrest him, then arrest him."

This envoy from Sand Village was not Jonin. Sand Village's Jonin reserves were not as plentiful as Leaf Village's, and Rasa didn't want to send a Jonin to Jonin.

He guessed right.

The Sand Ninja envoy was unable to return; Sasori killed him on the spot with lightning speed.

This blatant act of humiliation naturally made Sand Village and Rain Village the first major rivalries since the Fourth Shinobi World War.

This gossip has made everyone very happy.

"This time, the Land of Rain is really ambitious." In the ANBU conference room of the Hokage Building, an ANBU was reporting to Uchiha Shingen.

Also in the office were the heads of the intelligence, secretarial, and special operations departments.

"Hanzo was quite ambitious back then, and I hope Rain Village will perform better this time. Tell me about the specific progress." Uchiha Shingen tapped the table. "For example, has Akatsuki participated? In what way? And what are the arrangements for Rain Village and Sand Village?"

"Yes, Minister." The Anbu Ninja handed over a document. "Akatsuki hasn't joined the war yet. It seems they haven't reached an agreement on the price. Also, Sand Village hasn't concentrated its forces. They're focusing on attacking the Land of Rain itself. Rain Village doesn't have as many people as Sand Village, and they can't use the same methods against Sand Village, so they're in a rather passive position."

"So they're quite ambitious?" someone asked.

"Yes, because Rain Village hasn't been at a disadvantage in the battle," the Anbu Ninja replied instantly. "But as far as we know, Sand Village hasn't sent their elite troops; they want to wear down Rain Village's manpower first."

"Did Nagato leave the village?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

"Nagato has not yet shown up, so it cannot be confirmed."

"Then keep an eye on them. For example, we don't have to focus solely on Rain Village. We can also keep an eye on Akatsuki. Even if they've separated, it won't be so clear-cut in a short time."

Uchiha Shingen offered his suggestion and then gestured for the Anbu Ninja to step back.

The Anbu Ninja bowed, quickly left the meeting room, and went to get to work.

"This guy's work is pretty solid." Uchiha Shingen first praised the frontline ninja's work, then said to Terai, "Give the team in charge of this a bigger bonus at the end of the year. Make sure your report looks good, don't be shy."

Terai nodded happily.

This is something he excels at; after all, he was once a passionate young man who, through a heart-to-heart talk, ended up causing a ruckus in the Land of Stone for many years.

He's a passionate middle-aged man now.

The kind with high blood pressure.

"Now let's get back to the topic of 'Akatsuki.' Assuming that Uchiha Madara really gets to Akatsuki, we can foresee that Akatsuki's strength will increase significantly, and many unexpected opponents will appear. I hope everyone is mentally prepared for this." Uchiha Shingen decided to give his subordinates a heads-up first.

"Minister, I have a question," someone asked. "Uchiha Madara... no, everyone knows Lord Madara's strength. If we encountered him, we would definitely run. But including Nagato, Akatsuki has lost four Five Kage- level ninjas. Even with Lord Madara, we still have the First Hokage, the Second, and the Fourth Hokage, plus you. What kind of mental preparation are you talking about?"

"If you want to call me by my name, go ahead. Do you think I'll object?" Uchiha Shingen sighed. "I told everyone to be prepared because Uchiha Madara can also be Impure World Reincarnation using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. When he left the village, he probably didn't make any preparations."

"That Uchiha Madara... I don't think he'd use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, given his personality."

"What you said makes sense." Uchiha Shingen gave the other person a thumbs up. "But have you forgotten that there's an old acquaintance of ours in Akatsuki? Uchiha Madara isn't interested, then it's fine if he is, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's name, everyone present immediately became "solemn and respectful".

No one in the Ninja World doubts Orochimaru's ability to cause trouble, and he can also use the Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation, a fact he has already proven during the Joint Chunin Exams.

But the thought that this guy was trained by Leaf Village made everyone's teeth ache.

Everyone really doesn't understand why, instead of being a high-ranking member of Leaf Village, they insist on messing around with all this nonsense. What's the point?

"The three generations of officials have met with bad fortune," someone sighed.

"Where did they encounter bad people?" Uchiha Shingen discovered another problem with these people, and it was quite serious. "Orochimaru's past exploits for Leaf Village far exceeded what Leaf Village gave him. The Third Hokage had a discerning eye for talent, not that he encountered bad people."

Uchiha Shingen observed the changes in everyone's expressions.

"Merit is merit, and mistakes are mistakes. Merit cannot offset mistakes, nor can mistakes erase merit. I have noticed this one-size-fits-all phenomenon in performance evaluations, which is completely unfair to those who risk their lives on the front lines. Do they have to worry about whether their mistakes will lead to them working for nothing when they are risking their lives? This must be eliminated in the future."

"Yes, Minister..."

Everyone agreed with what Uchiha Shingen said.

After all, they had been through such ordeal, and the ANBU's operational and combat capabilities had declined as a result.

Having finished his digression, Uchiha Shingen clapped his hands, signaling everyone to get back to the main topic.

"Alright, regarding the direction of our work going forward, I'll give you a few targets. You all need to keep a close eye on these targets, and you can handle the rest as you see fit." Uchiha Shingen counted them off on his fingers one by one. "First, there's the Kazekage and his son, Rasa and Gaara. These two are crucial to whether Sand Village can fulfill our expectations, so they can't be harmed. I need to know where they are at all times. Then there's Nagato. We need to keep an eye on him in the Land of Rain Land of Wind. He'll have to show up eventually. Finally, there's Orochimaru."

The others found it rather strange that Uchiha Shingen suddenly brought up Orochimaru.

It's not their fault; after all, this generation doesn't understand Impure World Reincarnation, so they don't know what kind of rubbish Orochimaru's modified version of Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru is.

Senju Tobirama and his first playthrough were aiming for the "soldier" role.

Elite soldiers will be overfed.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, focuses on hero units.

The Senju Clan brothers and Uchiha Madara, who were Impure World Reincarnation using Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru, were definitely using Orochimaru's modified version of Edo Tensei. It's obvious that Orochimaru in this timeline improved Impure World Reincarnation Tensei much faster than in the original timeline.

As for the group of Impure World Reincarnation from the original Fourth Shinobi World War, it's hard to say whether they were recruited by Orochimaru or Kabuto Yakushi.

That's not something that can be collected in a short period of time.

At least that group of former Kage from various villages, Uchiha Shingen thought, was most likely a stockpile collected by Orochimaru.

At least Rasa was killed by Orochimaru himself in the original timeline.

When it comes to digging up graves, Uchiha Shingen in comparison to Orochimaru.

While he sat in Leaf Village, acting as the "brain" and setting up intelligence networks for the Land of Rain Land of Wind, an uninvited guest had already arrived on the land of the Land of Earth.

Uchiha Madara walked through the desert.

This place was once a meadow, but war destroyed it.

Nature's power will heal it, but that will take time.

The Impure World Reincarnation army with its Senju Muzoku, along with its guerrilla tactics, inflicted fundamental damage on this country.

This outcome was something Uchiha Madara was very pleased with.

On one hand, countries recalled the horrors of the Impure World Reincarnation; on the other hand, Uchiha Shingen, who inherited the Senju Muzoku Ninjutsu, naturally became the top contender on each country's list of those to guard against.

He has become the most dangerous ninja in the world.

In this situation, if Uchiha Shingen were to leave the village, it would be noticed by all parties, making it difficult for him to do things in a more secretive manner. This inevitably led to his nomination as Hokage.

Since it's not easy to leave, why don't you become Hokage and let those who can leave leave?

Uchiha Madara was certain of this, and many people in Leaf Village thought so too.

Everything is done to maximize the village's interests; this is the so-called Will of Fire.

I never expected that a Hokage with the surname Uchiha Clan would still be able to see this.

Uchiha Madara found it ironic.

He stopped in his tracks, for in the distance came the ruins of a town...

Such scenes are not uncommon in the scarred Land of Earth.

"Madara." Nagato's voice came from behind, "You took me away from the Land of Rain just so I could witness the power of Leaf Village?"

Nagato remains calm.

The war between Rain Village and Sand Village has begun. This is a necessary process to demonstrate Rain Village's strength and thus make the Land of Rain a great power.

If the Land of Rain wants to become a great power, it must defeat another great power.

Although the opponent has changed to Sand Village, it doesn't matter.

The mere Wind Kazekage is no match for him.

"I brought you here simply because it's quieter here." Uchiha Madara turned around, looking at Nagato behind him. "Does dancing among ants satisfy you? The opponents you're dealing with are far from ants."

"What? You're unwilling to fight the Uchiha Clan, so you'll make me do it?" Nagato revealed a mocking expression. "So even you can't ignore your origins."

"Provocation is pointless." Uchiha Madara's expression remained unchanged. "I'm going to take on Senju Hashirama. Do you think you can handle it? Alright, your training begins now. Time is limited, so you'd better take it seriously."

Chapter Fifteen: Everyone wants to introduce themselves in front of a powerful figure like Uchiha Madara.

Nagato felt it was completely unnecessary to make a special trip to the Land of Land of Earth for training.

But, what can you do when he has a Cursed Seal Talisman inside his body...?

He tried, but this thing is difficult to solve, and he hasn't found a solution yet.

The main problem is that this thing is connected to the heart and has a self-starting function; it will malfunction if you touch it.

Physical destruction is a good idea, provided Nagato has two hearts, because this one would definitely be lost.

So he endured it.

"What do you want to train me for?" Nagato asked. "Let me make this clear first, I'm in a real hurry. I need to defeat Sand Village as soon as possible."

Nagato was born in the Land of Rain, and he still has feelings for that country, or rather, for the land it encompasses.

His original intention was actually to avoid fighting this war with a major power that borders him directly.

The original target was Cloud Village.

But Scorpion acted too quickly.

To prevent the Land of Rain from repeating its past mistakes, he must end the war as soon as possible, swiftly and decisively defeat the Sand Village, and then seize the One-Tail.

"You don't set the time, don't be complacent, you're not strong enough." As a seasoned veteran of the battlefield and an old relic who witnessed the First to Fourth Ninja World Wars, Uchiha Madara Nagato knew exactly what Nagato was thinking.

People from a small country like the Land of Rain always think this way.

"In the era guided by Hashirama, it's impossible for the Land of Rain to become a great power. If you want to ensure peace in this country, you must have the ability to confront Uchiha Shingen." Uchiha Madara said calmly, "You can't beat him in Ninjutsu. I will train you on how to use the Rinnegan."

"I've been using it for many years and it works very well. You don't need to worry about it," Nagato said.

No ability to fight against Uchiha Shingen? Are you kidding me?

The peace that the Land of Rain has enjoyed over the years was thanks to him. With him around, Uchiha Shingen didn't dare to go too far against the Land of Rain.

"You know very little about these eyes. After all, they aren't yours, and you can't unleash their true power." Uchiha Madara grew impatient. "If you interrupt me again, I'll make you pay."

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal that Nagato was very familiar with.

Nagato: "... Hmph!"

Uchiha Madara of incompetence and began to explain the basic abilities and applications of the Rinnegan to Nagato.
