Chapter 402 Konoha, Entering the Uchiha Sasuke Era

With the end of this wedding, a new reward has been changed to an unlockable status.

[Congratulations on completing your proposal - decorate Jiraiya with a suit and flowers, and suggest that he go and propose sincerely. Obtained a C-rank scroll! ]

[You have opened the C-level scroll. Congratulations on gaining the understanding of Ninjutsu: Mastering the changes in the nature of Yang-attribute Chakra]

Compared to similar rewards in the past, this time there is no attached ninjutsu experience.

Soon, as this reward was obtained, another new line of prompts popped up.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully mastered all the changes in the nature of chakra - fire, thunder, water, wind, earth, yin, and yang. ]

[Unlock further system rewards: Bloodline Limit]

[*Nowadays, as the ninja world becomes more and more uncertain, the rewards will also increase accordingly. ]

After the marriage, as Tsunade's belly grew bigger, the good news of her pregnancy gradually became known to everyone.

Although, Lady Tsunade has an excellent physique and foundation.

But the new husband, Jiraiya, seemed particularly nervous about this.

After getting married, he no longer asked about government affairs and no longer cared about his disciples.

Every day he follows Tsunade around, fearing that anything might happen to his wife.

Under the new structure, Utane Koharu finally stepped down from the position of consultant once again.

This time, there was no excuse of "health reasons" for his retirement, but he announced his retirement permanently.

The proposal for Jiraiya to restore power was first proposed by Mito Kado En.

The reason was also very respectable. Under the great changes, government affairs were becoming increasingly busy, and Lady Tsunade's pregnant body must be given due consideration.

Everyone in the village, including Sasuke, expressed their approval of this proposal.

However, the fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, firmly stated that -

"I have completely accomplished the entire purpose of becoming Hokage.

“I’ve never heard of a guy who escaped from prison going back on his own initiative.

"Unless you are prepared to arrest me by force."

This last sentence was directed to Uchiha Sasuke.

-

March 27th, the sixty-sixth year of Konoha.

Elite jonin, the direct disciple of the fifth Hokage, the teacher of Team 7, the cornerstone of the village, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, the war hero——

Uchiha Sasuke was officially crowned as the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure.

Compared to the luxurious wedding of the century some time ago, Sasuke's coronation ceremony seemed much simpler and more plain.

However, everyone in Konoha still showed enough respect to the youngest Hokage in history.

Although the official has repeatedly stated in advance that there is no need to affect the normal life and work rhythm of the villagers and ninjas.

But there were still too many people who spontaneously came to the Konoha Square, hoping to listen to the first speech of the Hokage in person.

However, most people were disappointed.

Compared to Jiraiya's exciting speech, Uchiha Sasuke's speech was very plain and even simple.

"three things."

Uchiha Sasuke was wearing a white Hokage robe with red flames dotted on it, and a Hokage hat on his head. He looked at the crowd in the square expressionlessly and said coldly:

“First thing.

"The plan initiated by the Fifth Hokage to spread and promote ninjutsu and exchange it, as well as expand its civilian learning, has greatly improved Konoha's combat capabilities since its launch.

"Faced with the increasingly complex situation in the ninja world, after discussion, we all agreed that this measure is in line with the needs of the times and is a feasible measure that is in line with the vital interests of the majority of ninjas and even civilians.

"In the future, we will further promote and plan the deepening reform of the spread of ninjutsu to lay a solid foundation for ensuring peace in Konoha."

There was silence in the audience.

Given the cultural level of most ninjas, it might take a lot of effort to understand this sentence.

"The second thing."

Uchiha Sasuke spoke calmly and continued:

“About peaceful development.

"As representatives of the new Hokage team, we believe that the improvement of combat power does not mean high-quality peace.

“The security of material life, a consistent sense of security and fairness, and further prosperity of economy and culture are the true symbols of peace.

“In this regard, we will boldly try more initiatives and plans to vigorously promote the living standards of villagers and ninjas.

"Beyond the traditional economic model of 'mission-bounty', we actively explore the further integration of ninjutsu into daily life.

“To truly do so, we will promote social equity and justice, enhance the daily well-being of the villagers, and fully promote the positive meaning of ninja.”

No matter from which angle you look at it, Uchiha Sasuke's speech sounds very strange.

In response to this, people in the audience couldn't help but whisper and discuss.

"it is good!!"

Among the crowd, Uchiha Feng, with a pair of white eyes, was the first to shout loudly.

His face flushed red and he took the lead in clapping vigorously.

Under his leadership, the crowd was gradually infected.

Everyone cheered loudly, shouting words that seemed a little unfamiliar but sounded very beautiful.

"Fairness", "Justice".

"Material", "prosperity".

"The third thing."

Uchiha Sasuke pressed down with his palm, and everyone soon quieted down again.

He glanced at the crowd majestically, his tone remaining monotonous as he said indifferently:

“We hope to reach a basic consensus with you on the objective laws of this world.

“One outstanding elite jonin is worth dozens of chuunins.

"And when it comes to a ninja at the level of Kage, with the help of intelligence, his strength is enough to destroy a country by himself.

"Before this, the encounter between Sand Village and Mist Village was an example of this rule.

"We have also compiled information about the abilities of Akatsuki's leader, Pain, into a booklet and distributed it to all ninjas.

"If you have read it carefully, you will see that what I said is true.

“An extraordinary individual is far greater than a collection of mediocre people. This greater thanness is a crushing superiority that transcends everything.

"Whether you like it or not, this is an objective fact that cannot be changed."

People are actually not completely unaware of the above words.

But saying it so openly and frankly is something that has never happened before.

At this moment, such content came out of the mouth of Uchiha Sasuke, the strongest Hokage.

It was like pointing fingers at everyone and yelling at them—

You are all pure trash. All peace in the village depends on me to protect it.

The awkward silence echoed in the sky above Konoha Square.

People only heard Uchiha Sasuke, who maintained that monotonous and boring tone and continued:

“This matter concerns the life of every one of us. If we cannot objectively recognize this, there is no way we can talk about upward development.

"With the same population base, how can we produce the maximum number of extraordinary ninjas?

"Regarding this core issue, different results also distinguish different political systems at different levels.

"The blood mist policy of the Kirigakure Ninja Village seems to go straight to the heart of the problem, but it is difficult to sustain and it kills the goose that lays the golden eggs.

"The Sand Village relied too much on family inheritance, and after the Gaara incident, the building collapsed;

"The Iwagakure Ninja Village is even more interesting. It directly avoided this problem and tried to make up for the controllability and fairness issues by using the method of joint group ninjutsu.

"But this approach undoubtedly fundamentally denies the above core view. In the end, it led to a tragic battle in which the Third Raikage annihilated tens of thousands of people alone.

“I need to remind you that in that battle, the Third Raikage was not defeated, but was exhausted to death.

"That war was fought with human lives."

At this point, Uchiha Sasuke became unusually excited.

After a pause, Sasuke regained his composure and continued:

“In comparison, the practices of the Hidden Cloud Ninja Village are most worthy of our reference and learning.

"The whole village has a clear consensus that the strong are respected. The core fighting force of the village is also given sufficient political status.

“In terms of governance, they adopted a family-style gang alliance, which was rough but also very effective.

“We should take its essence and discard its dross, see its valuable aspects, and absorb it critically.

“The two things mentioned earlier, whether it is the deepening reform of the spread of ninjutsu or further increasing social equity and the welfare of villagers, are all supporting measures centered around the last core issue.

“We will work hard to build such a village, and do our best to prevent any ninja who has the hope of becoming a super strong from dying easily, and to prevent tragedies like the Konoha White Fang from happening again.

“At the same time, we will further promote population growth, fully discover and cultivate talents, and strongly encourage civilians to participate in ninja schools.

“Being in the midst of the wave of ninja selection, I know very well that only fertile basic soil can produce the most beautiful fruits.

"When the base number of ninjas is large enough and the survival of the middle-level ninjas is guaranteed, we will have the continuous birth of extraordinary geniuses that we expect."

Below the stage, the eyewitnesses of the Konoha White Fang incident couldn't help but all have their faces changed drastically.

Among them, Hatake Kakashi was extremely shocked and looked at the disciples on the stage in disbelief.

All these years, the knot in my heart that I had been unable to let go of was actually spoken out so easily by the other party.

In his imagination, the vindication of Konoha White Fang was a huge event.

But I didn't expect that everything happened so casually.

At this point, even the most dull ninja should understand that compared to the previous Hokage.

This Uchiha Sasuke seems to be fundamentally different.

"Here, we also solemnly reiterate the common aspirations of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and my predecessor, Madara Uchiha.

"The purpose of establishing a ninja village is to protect the children and the future of the ninja world.

"Instead of letting the children go to the battlefield and sacrifice their lives to protect the village.

"Over the years, as external pressure has continued to mount, the intensity of the fighting has also increased.

“We seem to have placed too much emphasis on the safety of the village itself and have forgotten the original purpose of establishing the village.

“Sacrifice and defense must come at a price.

“But the balance point needs to be constantly corrected and adjusted.

“Right now, we think it’s time for a correction.

“The existence of the village itself is a means to protect basic rights and interests. It is definitely not the fundamental goal we pursue.

“One or two children cannot change the final outcome of the battle.

"Whether it was Uchiha Itachi who had previously colluded with the traitorous ninja Shimura Danzo and attempted to harm the interests of the entire village.

"Or the current threat, the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization, Uchiha Obito.

"The tragedy of the two is the result of the evil consequences of exposing children to war too early.

“He who does not plan for the overall situation is not qualified to plan for a specific area.

“Those who do not plan for the eternity cannot plan for a moment.

“People-oriented.

"This is my ninja way!"

"!"

"!!"

"!!!"

At the end of the speech, Uchiha Sasuke once again dropped a bombshell on intelligence.

All the ninjas who knew what happened back then and had heard of the name Uchiha Obito were once again filled with horror.

The new Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke, is so transparent about his intelligence that he is even reckless.

After saying all this, Uchiha Sasuke silently nodded to everyone, turned around and left the podium.

All that was left was a look of astonishment, which was silently digested by the crowd.

“Come to think of it, those two guys are from the Uchiha clan.

"Sasuke-sama, is it really okay for you to just say it like that?"

Several older ninjas whispered.

"This is the courage of Sasuke-sama.

"Now that I think about it, if it weren't for Jiraiya-sama..."

"By the way, the Fourth Hokage is also a disciple of Master Jiraiya!"

"The Fifth Hokage has made a great contribution to Konoha."

With this inaugural speech coming to an end.

The reactions within the ninja community can be roughly divided into three types.

The young ninjas, including the Twelve Ninjas of Konoha from the same class, were originally Uchiha Sasuke's biggest followers.

This group of people quickly accepted Uchiha Sasuke's new ideas.

They actively spread the slogan of the times, "people-oriented", and also derived new derivative understandings.

Compared with the above-mentioned people, more mature ninjas, such as Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi, were more keenly aware that the fundamental philosophy of Konoha, the "Will of Fire", had been greatly shaken.

However, he also maintains a relatively open view towards Sasuke's new ideas and maintains a positive wait-and-see attitude.

The third type of people are represented by Mito Kado En and Sarutobi Asuma.

They were extremely worried about the shaking of the "Will of Fire".

But due to Uchiha Sasuke's powerful aura, he couldn't say a word.

It is worth mentioning that Might Guy does not belong to any of the above categories.

During the second paragraph of Uchiha Sasuke's speech, he fell asleep while standing.

If it weren't for Hatake Kakashi who was always supporting him, he would probably have fallen heavily to the ground.

However, after the name Uchiha Obito appeared, Might Guy was ultimately unable to escape the fate of falling.
