Konoha: Reforge the glory of Uchiha!

''It's enough, Mito. Stop squeezing. The chakra storage container is full."

"I think the Nine-Tails is about to give out."

"The Nine-Tails is Konoha's treasure. We must understand the principle of sustainable recycling. We can't afford to drain the pond to catch fish."

The Nine-Tails had been drained to the point where its once smooth, glossy fur turned dull, and its massive body shrunk significantly.

Uchiha Nan quickly stopped Uzumaki Mito, the high-powered chakra extractor. Chakra is vital for tailed beasts, and the Nine-Tails must not be over-drained.

"You didn't say that earlier. You mentioned that tailed beast chakra is free and a waste if not fully utilized."

"Tailed beasts' lives aren't valued; they can resurrect after death. More chakra is better."

"The louder the Nine-Tails screams, the more chakra it has."

Uzumaki Mito repeated Uchiha Nan's earlier outrageous remarks when he blamed her for extracting too much chakra from the Nine-Tails.

This despicable and immoral man had been overjoyed watching the chakra containers fill one after another.

Now he was acting all concerned!

"When will my one million ryo be paid?"

Uzumaki Mito despised Uchiha Nan but directly asked for her payment.

"Don't worry, Lady Mito, I'm honest. The funds are from Konoha Electric Power Company. I'll have someone deliver it to you."

"Before that, I have another question. How soon can the Nine-Tails' chakra be restored?"

Uchiha Nan was concerned. Chakra is a future mainstream energy source. The more frequently the Nine-Tails can be recycled, the better. The chakra storage capacity could be expanded.

"What a beast!"

"What a beast!"

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

Kyuubi's emotions erupted upon hearing Uchiha Nan's words. Despite being so weak it could barely stand, it cursed Uchiha Nan's beastly behavior.

Even Uzumaki Mito felt some pity for the pitiful cries. The Nine-Tails, the leader of the tailed beasts, had fallen so low. Uchiha Nan had indeed gone too far.

Uchiha truly was born evil!

But, sorry, Nine-Tails, each extraction means a million ryo.

"Based on my understanding of the Nine-Tails, its chakra will fully recover in about two months, no more than three months. If it works hard to recover, it may take less than two months."

Uzumaki Mito shared the Nine-Tails' history with Uchiha Nan without hesitation.

For Tsunade's future, she had to maximize earnings. After waiting for so long, she finally had an easy way to make money and couldn't let it slip away.

"Lady Mito, please urge the Nine-Tails to recover quickly for Konoha."

"Don't worry, I'll oversee the Nine-Tails' rehabilitation!"

"Hahaha, Lady Mito is truly a loyal servant of Konoha."

Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Mito agreed in harmony.

"Disgusting, disgusting!"

"You can't even wait until I'm asleep to do this. You discuss it secretly, and now you're discussing how to squeeze me right in front of me."

"Uchiha Madara wouldn't do such a thing. You two are worse than bandits, yet you want us tailed beasts to remember your kindness."

"Old man Liudao, you really screwed up!"

Kyuubi watched the two colluding and cursed them again. It couldn't help but reminisce about being Uchiha Madara's mount. Those days seemed better, at least compared to now.

However, Uchiha Nan and Uzumaki Mito ignored Kyuubi's complaints, happily reaching an agreement and then going their separate ways.

Uzumaki Mito returned home with a spring in her step. Later, an Anbu ninja delivered several suitcases full of money.

One million ryo—easy money.

While marveling at this easy money-making, Uzumaki Mito asked Senju Momoki to gather information about the Konoha power plant.

How much would it cost annually if tailed beast chakra wasn't used and coal was burned instead?

Before long, Uzumaki Mito received a detailed investigation report. She skipped the irrelevant parts, focusing on the annual coal cost for the power plant.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand. Billion?

Uzumaki Mito couldn't believe her eyes. The number was vastly different from her pay, completely mismatched!

Count it again?

"One, ten, billion. Uh. Ahhhhhh!!! Uchiha Nan, you're a beast!!!!"

A sharp curse echoed throughout the Senju clan.

A few days later

Hokage's Office

"The ideological textbook is finally complete!"

Uchiha Nan looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. A red booklet lay on the table. With the Ninja School's enrollment nearing its end, he wanted to contribute something meaningful to its development.

Each Hokage generation had its guiding ideology. Though all were under the banner of the First Hokage's Will of Fire, their meanings differed.

The First Hokage's idea was to pursue peace and end the Warring States Period's violence.

The Second Hokage's idea was stability. After Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's deaths, Senju Tobirama strove to maintain stability amid external threats and internal Uchiha unrest.

Uchiha Nan also wanted to imprint his ideology on Konoha.

To change the current generation's ninjas' thinking, power politics and incentives were necessary.

Teaching young children was easier; they needed correct values.

Materialist dialectics, ninja production, class conflict.

Uchiha Nan aimed to weave the essence of thoughts from his previous life into Konoha's Will of Fire. This was a massive undertaking, so he sought help.

His ideas were radical and unsystematic, and sudden publication would face criticism. Uchiha Nan asked his trusted aide Senju Tobirama for assistance.

Through nightly debates, Uchiha Nan refined his theory, systematizing and localizing it for the ninja world. It would guide Konoha's ninjas on a new path.

This ambitious masterpiece could reshape the ninja world's structure. As its author, Uchiha Nan could be remembered for ages.

Faced with this honor, Senju Tobirama wanted a share. He wanted his name on the author's list.

Uchiha Nan argued. As the Third Hokage, each generation had its own thoughts. Why should a deceased Hokage join?

But Senju Tobirama insisted he contributed half the credit and demanded recognition, threatening to strike otherwise.

Finally, Uchiha Nan and Senju Tobirama compromised. Senju Tobirama could use a pseudonym to co-author with Uchiha Nan.

"Shikahara, this book will be Konoha's official Will of Fire textbook. All Ninja School students must study it. Memorizing it earns extra graduation points."

"Every registered Konoha ninja must own a copy and memorize the red-marked sections within a month. I'll send someone to check."

"Additionally, distribute parts of it to Konoha villagers for free, so everyone progresses together."

Uchiha Nan instructed Nara Shikato to print tens of thousands of copies for Konoha. If feedback was good, double the print run.

"Okay, Hokage-sama!"

Nara Shikato took the book, glancing at the cover. The golden "Will of Fire" stood out, but why were there two authors?

"By Uchiha Nan and Zhang San"

Who was Zhang San?

Nara Shikato swore he'd never heard of Zhang San in Konoha. The political significance of Uchiha Nan's book was immense, setting the tone for Konoha's future.

A mysterious name appeared on this book. To ensure no issues, Nara Shikato decided to ask the Hokage about Zhang San.

"Hokage-sama, who is Zhang San?"

Senju Tobirama had asked the same.

"An excellent citizen, knowledgeable about legal loopholes, escaping sanctions even when challenging the law, yet abiding by it."

At the time, Uchiha Nan sternly replied, but Senju Tobirama doubted him. Could such a rogue exist?

Later, Tobirama wanted to change the name, but Uchiha Nan decided without allowing objections, leaving the lab hastily.

"That's it, Hokage-sama, Mr. Zhang San is truly amazing."

Nara Shikato didn't believe Uchiha Nan's nonsense but chose to obey. The leader's words were always correct.

After explaining the new Will of Fire's printing, Uchiha Nan inquired about the other four major ninja villages. With the first ninja war over, the post-war landscape was undecided.

Konoha would soon engage in large-scale trade. Peace and stability were vital for business. A Five Kage Summit was needed for negotiations.

"Sunagakure Village remains unchanged. The Daimyo cut funding, and Kazekage works as a gold miner in the desert. Sunagakure gradually reduces ninja numbers, focusing on elite training."

"Kumogakure's post-battle mess rivals Konoha's, with the Third Raikage..."

"After Tsuchikage Mu's death, Iwagakure's third Tsuchikage chose Ohnoki, who learned Dust Release. He was Mu's public heir."

"Kirigakure faces trouble. With Mizukage Kito Gengetsu's sudden death, they haven't chosen a successor. The Kito, Kaguya clans, and first Mizukage Byakuren's guards vie for the third Mizukage."

Uchiha Nan recalled Naruto's anime. The third Mizukage seemed to be Byakuren's squinty-eyed guard, named Mizuto.

Without Nara Shikato's reminder, Uchiha Nan wouldn't know the third Mizukage's name.

Unknown name, unknown personality, unknown ninjutsu.

The third Mizukage was an enigma in Naruto. Yet, during his tenure, Kirigakure entered its blood mist era.

He demonized bloodline ninjas, excluding them. Later, the Kaguya clan rebelled and was exterminated, while the Mizunotsuki clan died or fled.

Uchiha Obito exploited the situation, controlling the fourth Mizukage Yagura, expanding blood mist policies to ordinary ninjas.

Without Mei Terumi's sudden rise and Kirigakure's reunion, Obito might have destroyed Kirigakure.

Kirigakure's fate mirrored Sarutobi Hiruzen's.

But this was good news for Konoha. Fear god-like opponents, not pig-like teammates. Let the third Mizukage persecute his bloodline ninjas, and later, bring them to Konoha!

"Ding Dong."

Suddenly, Uchiha Nan heard a familiar system voice, triggering a new task.

[Blood Godfather: Invite more than three non-Konoha bloodline families to join Konoha]

Reward: 60 lottery chances!

[Donuts are so delicious: pastries, desserts, cola, milk tea. High sugar is true love, leading the high-sugar food trend in the ninja world.]

Reward: 20 lottery chances

[Good Voice of Ninja World: Singing brings strength, creating ten popular ninja world songs.]

Reward: 20 lottery chances!

Three new tasks appeared. Uchiha Nan reviewed the requirements and rewards. High requirements, but generous rewards, though luck-dependent.

Keeping them was useless, discarding them was wasteful.

Uchiha Nan sighed, setting the tasks aside, continuing to listen to Nara Shikato's report.

"Kirigakure's intelligence suggests..."

"Selecting a new third Mizukage may take a month. The Five Kage Talks..."

Uchiha Nan nodded at Nara Shikato's report. The Five Kage Talks would be delayed.

"Send invitations to Sand, Cloud, and Rock Villages first. As for Kirigakure, wait until they choose a Mizukage."

Nara Shikato nodded, planning to follow Uchiha Nan's instructions. As he reached the door, he turned back.

"Hokage, the ninja school enrollment is nearly over. Aren't you attending?"

"Traditionally, the Hokage must be present for enrollment."

Uchiha Nan realized he'd almost forgotten, being busy with the Konoha Power Plant.

The Ninja School was a nursery for cultivating Hokage confidants. Senju Tobirama attended enrollment to demonstrate its importance.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Uchiha Nan found office work tedious and decided to visit the Ninja School.

Konoha Ninja School

Though enrollment was nearly complete, the office was bustling. Becoming a ninja meant power, vital in turbulent times.

"It's lively."

Uchiha Nan arrived at the enrollment office in his Hokage robe, igniting the atmosphere. Amid cheers, the crowd parted for him.

"Shikahara, any promising students this year?"

"Forget ninjas, any promising civilians?"

Nara Shikato, accompanying Uchiha Nan, named a few talented civilian children with more chakra than typical ninja children.

Uchiha Nan listened, then noticed a conspicuous figure.

A dark green training suit, a watermelon head, thick eyebrows.

Might Guy?

No, he should be called Might Guy now!

"Please, let me try again."

"My ninjutsu talent is lacking, but I can excel with taijutsu."

"The passion of youth."

"Kid, you applied last year. I made an exception to test you again. Don't cause trouble here!"

The admissions teacher was impatient. If the Hokage wasn't watching, he'd have lost his temper and kicked everyone out.

"Hokage."

"I'll remove that kid immediately."

Nara Shikato was nervous, feeling he'd failed his duty, letting Uchiha Nan witness this.

"Don't!"

"Let him pass!"

"Give him ample training resources. He'll become an unprecedented super ninja, capable of defeating Senju Hashirama with one kick!"

Uchiha Nan stopped Nara Shikato. Others didn't know Might Guy's future, but he did.

The Eight Gates taijutsu user kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into oblivion. His son, Might Guy, nearly ended things with one kick!

"What...?"

"Kick the First Hokage to death?"

"Hokage."

Nara Shikato was incredulous. He knew his Hokage sometimes exaggerated, but this was too much.
