It's not even as loud as the sound of fat shaking.
"Lord Jing, are you asleep, meow?"
Revolver walked upright like a person, wearing a slightly dirty cat apron around its chest, its paws gripping a hammer and axe, and a bunch of tools hanging from its waist.
"What is it now?"
Uchiha Kagami's tone was quite impatient; this was the third time Revolver had come to see him today.
Revolver's fat trembled with fright, and he said timidly, "The Second Construction Team of the Ministry of Construction told me... that they're running out of timber..."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Uchiha Kagami pointed to the outer edge of Konoha and said, "Are you blind?! Aren't those just pieces of wood?!"
"But...but..." Revolver was almost crying.
"When we wanted to cut down trees, the forestry department wouldn't let us, meow..."
Uchiha Kagami scratched the back of his head, glaring fiercely at Revolver: "I'm warning you, next time something like this happens, go find Namikaze Minato! He's the Hokage! Let him coordinate the work of all departments!"
Let's talk about Naruto.
Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly: "Minister Revolver, trees that are felled directly cannot be used as building materials; they need to be dried for at least a few months."
Yes, Zuo Lun is currently the Minister of Construction of Konoha, leading many ninja cats from the Cat Village in the reconstruction work.
Uchiha Kagami frowned; he really didn't know anything about this.
Sure enough, my brain isn't suited for management; it's too much trouble. I'm pretty self-aware of that.
Uchiha Kagami glanced at Revolver: "I didn't realize you, you stupid cat, would betray me first."
Revolver was truly heartbroken this time.
"I don't know! They've been rushing me... Meow~"
"Alright, get back to work and stop escalating the issue. I'm very busy, you know?"
Revolver left feeling very aggrieved.
Minato Namikaze turned his gaze back from Rei's retreating figure and gave a wry smile: "It's not Rei's fault. I had too many things to do, and he couldn't find me either."
“Jing, there’s a big problem with the reconstruction of the village right now, and I have to tell you about it.”
Uchiha Kagami nodded, signaling Minato to continue.
"Apart from the Konoha cemetery, other places have suffered varying degrees of damage, many of them even completely destroyed..."
As he spoke, Minato's eyes held a hint of resentment.
After all, the person in front of us is the one who started it all.
"Other things are manageable, but the hospital must be built immediately, medical equipment needs to be purchased, and food can only be sustained in the short term; it will become a major problem in the long run."
Uchiha Kagami frowned slightly: "Didn't we send someone to make that old bastard Daimyo hand over the money?"
Minato stared at Uchiha Kagami, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.
"This old man won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin; he can't tell the difference between the king and the prince anymore..."
Uchiha Kagami's eyes turned cold.
"I'll go there. If they don't listen, I'll change their name until they do."
Chapter 80 The Daimyo of the Land of Fire
Uchiha Kagami was a little annoyed.
After fighting for so many years, he didn't ask for much; he just wanted to rest for half a day.
Even if he delegates his main tasks, there are still countless things waiting for him.
Pressing his knees as he stood up, Uchiha Kagami thought for a moment and said:
"By the way, when you have some free time, issue an arrest warrant for Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja."
Minato completely misunderstood the meaning of the mirror.
Orochimaru is dead, isn't he?
No matter what, he was a senior who had served as an anonymous Hokage. It's a bit immoral to label a dead person as a rogue ninja.
"That guy won't die so easily."
Uchiha Kagami smiled faintly and said, "Don't underestimate Orochimaru. He will be a huge obstacle to our realization of our ideals."
Minato Namikaze frowned and sighed, "Only after truly sitting in this position did I realize how many things there are to consider..."
"I'm already like this, Kagami... You must have even more to worry about, right?"
Uchiha Kagami smirked: "I still quite enjoy fighting."
"Whether the outcome is failure or success, I will accept it. At least I've started down this path, haven't I?"
Minato Namikaze had been looking haggard these past few days, and only now did he reveal a slight smile of relief.
"Yes... Regardless of success or failure, we just need to stick to our original vision."
He patted the dust off his back.
"Then I'm off. I'll leave the village affairs to you."
"and many more……"
Minato called out to Kagami, hesitated for a moment, and said, "What should I do about Sakumo-senpai?"
Sakumo Hatake's departure, to put it nicely, was to clear his head.
It's actually a form of escapism.
Now that the third generation of the family line is gone, I don't have to see those upsetting people anymore.
He truly loves this village, so of course he will stay and help with its reconstruction.
Everyone else was easy to deal with, but Minato really couldn't figure out how to arrange things for Hatake Sakumo.
In terms of seniority in the original Konoha, Hatake Sakumo is above him, and from the perspective of the Mirror, Hatake Sakumo is still the more senior.
The two are evenly matched.
To be honest, if Sakumo Hatake had appeared first in the previous battle, Minato Namikaze would have recommended him to be Hokage.
Uchiha Kagami slowly walked away: "You are the Hokage, this is something you need to consider."
With a smirk, he said, "If all else fails, we can just implement a dual-leader system."
The term "person in charge" is not hard to understand. Minato Namikaze stroked his chin, remaining in place as if deep in thought.
As he was about to step down from Yan Yan's Mirror, Uchiha suddenly sensed something and glanced into the distance.
The tomoe appeared in his eye sockets, and just as a glimpse of his outline appeared, the figure on the distant mountain peak vanished instantly.
This ability to perceive distance...
Tobirama Senju?
How ugly! They only dare to glance at it from afar before running away.
Heh... Senju, our war continues.
A destiny that has been intertwined for millennia.
It will end in my hands!
Unknown underground cave.
Orochimaru watched with composure as Tobirama Senju returned in an instant.
"Well, Tobirama-sama, have you confirmed it?"
Tobirama Senju's expression was worse than if his mother had died.
He slammed his fist into the stone wall, but the wall was unharmed; only a few fragments of his defiled body drifted down.
"What on earth did those monkeys do?!"
"Either genuinely accept the Uchiha, or eliminate them completely regardless of the losses!"
"This was clearly the best opportunity before the big battle began!"
"Looking back and forth, there's no such thing as a free lunch when you can defeat the Uchiha without sacrificing your own strength!"
"Asshole!!"
Tobirama Senju was so angry he was almost incoherent.
Given the current situation, he was even thinking... would it have been better to have Danzo become Hokage back then?
No matter what, it shouldn't have come to this!
The village that my older brother and I painstakingly built has been destroyed!
Tobirama Senju would never agree that the land in question is now Konoha Village.
In his eyes, it was a sinful land enslaved by the Uchiha clan!
He saw his disciple die a humiliating death in the cage, his soul sealed in place, unable to find release...
Even though it was an impure body, Tobirama Senju felt a pang of heartache.
Danzo... your life has been so full of suffering...
"Things are not as simple as you say."
"Given the situation at the time, if the teacher had attacked the Uchiha, Konoha might have been devoured by other villages after suffering a significant loss of strength."
Orochimaru spoke up for his teacher.
Tobirama Senju quickly calmed down; since things had come to this, he could only look forward.
"Orochimaru, you're very good. The monkey didn't choose the wrong person."
“That evil Uchiha brat is indeed invincible. You have made the best decision.”
"I acknowledge your position as the Fourth Hokage. We must rebuild Konoha!"
"We cannot let that brat tarnish the name of Konoha!"
Damn it, they even chiseled away my Yan Yan!
That's bad enough... but they even dared to carve a face stone for that bastard Madara!
Then why don't you chisel away the eldest brother's too!
Don't you know there are two huge statues in the Valley of the End? They're opposing forces!
What a shame!
Orochimaru, looking dejected, said indifferently, "Orochimaru, the Hokage, is already dead. I don't want to bear that responsibility anymore."
"My goal is simply to learn all the ninjutsu in the world."
Tobirama Senju chuckled, arms crossed: "Your ideal is perhaps harder than being a good Hokage."
"Maybe."
Orochimaru chuckled lightly, then said, "Let's focus on the present matter first. Do you have any suggestions for improving the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"
Tobirama Senju frowned in thought, "I developed this technique somewhat unintentionally, just to use it in conjunction with another technique. I didn't put too much thought into it."
"If you think about it carefully, it should be able to be improved."
"You're right. Only the eldest brother at his peak could kill that brat."
"However... this requires a large number of live ninja experiments, and the relevant data and equipment are also very important. Can you get your hands on them?"
Orochimaru smiled faintly: "That's why I summoned you first."
"I will absolutely not appear in public again until I have a backup plan."
"Please trouble Lord Tobirama to take care of these matters."
Tobirama Senju stroked his chin and asked, "Is the Daimyo of the Land of Fire still Enichi Sōjun?"
So, calling someone by their full name... is this what the previous generation was like?
