Chapter 23: A little background: Completed // A new beginning
The runes that Minato Namikaze brought back this time were quickly deciphered by Kushina, and the content of the runes once again pointed to the mysterious alien forces.
Is there anything in the ninja world that is worthy of the alien forces' covetousness? Namikaze Minato thought of the previous Nine-Tails incident again. If the alien forces want the tailed beast, then his family may also become a target...
After a brief reunion with his family, Minato Namikaze left again because he could not feel at ease until he had thoroughly investigated the danger lurking in the dark.
After Minato Namikaze left, the village made some adjustments. First, the Uchiha transferred some ninjas to go to the clan land outside the village to farm with Shingon, in order to test the feasibility of the "agricultural and sideline industry development and income generation plan" proposed by Shingon.
As for other families, in addition to the residential land in the village, they also have their own clan land outside the village. However, like the Uchiha family, most families have their clan land outside the village in an idle state. Only a few families have used it, such as the Inuzuka family and the Aburame family. The clan land outside the village of these two families is used to raise ninja dogs and cultivate parasites.
If Konoha wants to develop agricultural and sideline industries in the future, each family may need to make some adjustments, but no matter how the adjustments are made, those parts used to ensure the combat qualities of ninjas will be retained. For example, the situations of the Inuzuka family and the Aburame family require special treatment.
The plan also clearly states that this reform is only to increase the types of ninja missions, not to turn ninjas into farmers. Those mercenary missions will still exist, and ninjas will still need to go out for training from time to time.
In short, reform is something that requires a long time to implement. Now it is still in the initial trial stage. How it will develop in the future depends on the results of the trial.
As for the Uchiha clan in charge of the test, the ninjas who were assigned to the farming task were very dissatisfied. Firstly, most of the Uchiha ninjas were of the fire and thunder attribute, which was not suitable for farming. Secondly, as a family with the special blood limit of the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan members were very proud in their bones. They felt that the farming task was not in line with their status...
In Shingon's opinion, most of the ninjas assigned to farm the land were still minors, and it would be better to offer prizes as an incentive instead of using force on minors.
Zhenyan took out a bicycle as a reward for farming.
The previous bicycle test ride results were very good, so Zhenyan directly placed an order for a batch, and divided them into chakra-driven bicycles for ninjas and ordinary bicycles according to demand.
Forget the first one, but now that he’s placing an order in large quantities, he couldn’t let his uncle spend the money anymore, so this time Zhenyan paid the deposit himself. Fortunately, Zai Buzhan helped him make the connection before, and he sold a batch of radishes and made a lot of money.
Long before, when Shingon was riding a bicycle around the village, some villagers asked curiously. When they learned the purpose of the bicycle, many villagers were interested. Shingon did not make the bicycle for profit, so the price he offered was very reasonable. When the ordered bicycles arrived in Konoha, they were sold out immediately.
Walking on the streets of Konoha Village, you can see people riding bicycles everywhere. This is not because Shingon ordered a lot of bicycles, but because those who bought bicycles found it new and rode around the village, which in turn aroused the desire of more people to buy. In short, Scorpio bicycles are very popular now, and it is basically difficult to find one.
New things are more attractive to young people. Shingon took out bicycles as a reward for farming tasks, and the Uchiha ninjas who were assigned here finally agreed to cooperate in farming.
Ninjas with earth attributes can leave arable land, those with water attributes can irrigate, and those with wind attributes can help with crop pollination. Zhenyan arranged it very well, but there is still that problem. Only a few Uchiha ninjas have water, earth, and wind attributes, and the majority have fire and thunder attributes.
Regarding this point, Shinon also thought of a solution, which is to plant more sugarcane and let the Uchiha ninja use fire escape to boil sugar.
Boiling sugar cane is also a technical job. If the temperature is not well controlled, the sugar may taste astringent. Therefore, sugar making can not only generate income for the Uchiha, but also train the fire escape control ability of the Uchiha ninjas. It is simply killing two birds with one stone...
As for the lightning-attribute ninjas, Zhenyan thinks that they are most suitable for generating electricity. However, electrical appliances are rare in the ninja world, just like transportation is scarce, so the demand for electricity is not great in the short term.
After thinking about it, Shingon thought of the chakra drink he had thought of before. Just like the energy drinks in reality, he wanted to create a drink exclusively for ninjas.
Chakra bubble tea? It sounds good, but how to roll the chakra into balls as big as pearls is a problem.
Mana asked Itachi for advice, and Itachi said that he did not know how to use such a ninjutsu. However, the Fourth Hokage created a ninjutsu called "Rasengan", which was similar to Mana's requirements.
The incident with Wood Release made Shingon think that all ninjutsu in the ninja world were patented, so when he heard that Rasengan was a ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage, he wanted to pay to learn it.
Since Minato Namikaze is not in the village now, Shingen told Kushina his thoughts first.
After hearing Managao's idea, Kushina said generously that she would not charge any fees and could teach Managao how to use the Rasengan for free.
Shingon was very moved and decided to teach Naruto all her skills when he grew up, in order to repay the four generations of couple.
Kushina really likes Manabu's cheerful personality. She hopes that Naruto can be as optimistic and cheerful as Manabu when he grows up, so she nodded and agreed.
Shingon was very happy. Whether he was the teacher of the protagonist was secondary. The main reason was that he had not been able to determine the winner in the previous exchanges with Kyuubi, and Kyuubi now refused his visit. He could only adopt a roundabout tactic and teach Naruto the art of words-talking, so that Naruto could continue to persuade Kyuubi on his behalf, so that Kyuubi could reform himself and get out of prison as soon as possible.
Namikaze Minato didn't know what kind of teacher Kushina had arranged for Naruto. When he came back, he only heard that Shingon wanted to learn the Rasengan.
As the fourth Hokage of the village, Minato Namikaze was happy to see the young people in the village eager to learn, not to mention he also liked Mantra very much, so he took advantage of the few days he had returned to start teaching directly.
"Rasengan is an A-level ninjutsu. If you don't have a foundation in ninjutsu, it may be difficult to learn." Namikaze Minato knew that Mangon had never studied in a ninja school, and Rasengan was a somewhat difficult ninjutsu. He was afraid that Mangon would not be able to learn it and his enthusiasm would be hit, so he taught him about Rasengan in advance.
Shingon blinked, opened his Sharingan and said, "Uncle Minato, I'm ready."
Shingon has studied his Sharingan. Apart from assisting in the use of mouth-to-mouth techniques, the most practical use of the Sharingan is observation. If used while learning, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing Shingo's eyes, Minato Namikaze was surprised: "Shingo has already opened the Sharingan?"
Shingen nodded. He was able to open the Sharingan thanks to Minato Namikaze's reminder. It was Minato Namikaze who told him that the Uchiha were best at Sharingan and Fire Style.
Now he has opened the Sharingan. As for Fire Style, he has tried it, but the hand seals were too complicated. He could not make them as fast as Itachi. Even if he learned it, his efficiency would be very low. So he decided to find another way and combine Fire Style with Mouth Style to research an upgraded version of Mouth Style.
But the most important thing now is to learn the Rasengan first and research the Chakra Pearl Milk Tea.
With the help of the Sharingan, Shingon quickly mastered the essentials of the Rasengan. Then he discovered that although the Rasengan could fix the chakra into a spherical shape, it was not suitable for adding to drinks because the stability of the Rasengan came from the rotation of the chakra, and rapid rotation would bring offensiveness.
He opened a milk tea shop not to make a one-time sale, he also hopes to win repeat customers by relying on reputation. Even if the customers are satisfied with the taste of the pearl milk tea, how can they come back if they are killed after just one sip?
After learning the purpose of Mangon learning the Rasengan, Minato Namikaze pointed Mangon in another direction, which was the Tailed Beast Ball. He was inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball when he developed the Rasengan.
The Tailed Beast Ball compresses chakra, causing it to change in form, which may be more in line with the requirements of the mantra.
With a new direction, Shingon wanted to ask Kyuubi how the Tailed Beast Ball was made, but the giant fox still refused his visit...
There is nothing I can do but research it myself.
Itachi came over and was surprised to see the chakra ball spinning in Shingon's hand: "You learned it?"
"Well, I used the Sharingan." Shingen said, still thinking about how to offset the attack power of the Rasengan.
Itachi heard this, but couldn't help but frown and asked: "Have you opened your Sharingan?"
Shingen nodded subconsciously, and when he saw Itachi's expression, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. It was a bit embarrassing because of the opening of the Sharingan, and he hadn't told Itachi that he had opened his eyes...
"I didn't go bungee jumping." Shingon explained, and after a moment's thought, he added, "My Sharingan was grown...from farming..."
Itachi: “…………”
The news of the Sharingan being grown by cultivating the land spread quickly among the Uchiha clan. Many Uchiha clan members who wanted to open their eyes asked to participate in the cultivation mission...
Soon, this matter reached Uchiha Fugaku's ears. As the head of the family, Uchiha Fugaku considered more than ordinary people. Regarding the matter of Shingon's farming and opening his eyes, the first thing he thought of was the plan submitted by Shingon. He felt that it was because the family was in a bad situation that caused the younger generation of the family to bear too much...
Uchiha Fugaku, feeling heavy-hearted, found Shingon and said to him in a comforting tone, "Don't be too stressed. The situation of the Uchiha clan won't always be like this."
"I understand." Zhenyan nodded. He had been studying chakra pearls recently, which was indeed a bit tiring. But fortunately, with his "motivation", the young people in the family no longer opposed farming. If the young people were down-to-earth and hardworking, the family would surely prosper...
With Managao taking the lead, the Uchiha experiment went very smoothly. However, in the plan submitted by Managao, a commercial department should be established within the village to be responsible for external sales. Now that the commercial department has not been established, product sales have become the primary problem.
When faced with this difficult problem, the first person Mangon thought of was Zabuza. After becoming a rebel ninja, Zabuza worked for some businessmen for a living and got to know quite a few of them. The radishes that Mangon had grown before were sold with the help of Zabuza.
The last time Itachi and Shisui came to his house, Zabuza planned to leave, but he learned from Hakuzetsu that Shingon helped him solve the pursuit of the Hidden Mist Village.
Zabuza didn't know how Mangon did it. Based on his understanding of the Hidden Mist Village, he guessed that Mangon must have paid a considerable price, so when Mangon asked him to stay and help, he did not refuse.
But now Shingon wants him to be in charge of the entire Uchiha product sales. He is very grateful for Shingon's trust, but it is precisely because of this that he cannot accept this job, because his identity as a traitor is always a trouble.
After he defected, he could only be employed by civilian merchants who were not ninjas because other ninja villages or ninjas would be jealous of his identity as a traitor and the label of Kirishukakushi. Even though he stayed in Konoha, he was still a ninja who defected from Kirishukakushi. If it was to repay Shingon personally, it would be fine, but once it involved the family or even the village, the nature of the matter changed.
"I'm not suitable." Zabuza said.
Hearing what Zabuza said, Zhenyan couldn't help but frown. They had obviously cooperated very well before, so why did Zabuza suddenly reject him?
Zhenyan thought about it and suddenly realized something. He looked at Zabuza, waved his hand, and said proudly, "Raise your wages!"
Before, Zabuza was employed by him alone, but now he has to work for the entire Uchiha clan. It is really not appropriate for him to continue to receive the salary he received before.
Zabuza: “…………”
The sales problem was solved by Zhenyan by simply "raising wages". Of course, in addition to this, Zhenyan also helped outstanding employees solve their household registration problems.
Shingon had already heard from White Zetsu about Zabuza's identity. Since it could solve the pursuit of the Hidden Mist Village, Shingon asked Uncle Black Zetsu to help a little more and eliminate Zabuza's identity as a traitorous ninja of the Hidden Mist Village.
So now Zabuza is at most a wandering ninja who was expelled from the village. But even if he is a wandering ninja, other ninja villages will not easily take him in. After all, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not a spy sent by another village.
So even though Zabuza stayed in Konoha, he was not considered a Konoha ninja. However, with Uchiha Fugaku as a guarantor, Zabuza and Haku had a slightly more legitimate identity, that is, they were guests hired by the Uchiha clan.
After solving Zabuza's problem, Shingon designed a trademark for Uchiha products. The trademark looked like the Uchiha clan emblem with the lower half removed, leaving the upper half, which was a moon with a bite taken out of it.
Shingon thinks this trademark is great, and it can also commemorate Kaguya Otsutsuki who is far away on the moon.
After Hei Zetsu heard about this, in order to support the business of Shinyan, he used the public funds of the Xiao organization to purchase a large number of radishes, sugar canes and sugar produced by Uchiha as food for the members of the Xiao organization...
In this way, Shingon spent his first year in the ninja world very fulfillingly, but in the second year, something happened.
While investigating the Nine-Tails incident, Minato Namikaze discovered another Otsutsuki ruins. By investigating these ruins, Minato Namikaze became more certain that the Ninja World was likely coveted by a mysterious and powerful alien force.
In order to find out the enemy's background as soon as possible, when Naruto was two years old, Kushina and Namikaze Minato left the village together to participate in the investigation of the ruins.
Naruto, who stayed in the village, will continue to be cared for by the Fourth Generation's exclusive ANBU led by Kakashi. However, for safety reasons, Namikaze Minato and Kushina decided to keep Naruto's identity secret and changed Naruto's name from Namikaze Naruto to Uzumaki Naruto.
After that, the two of them rarely showed up in the village because of their investigation. As time went on, some rumors gradually spread in the village. It was rumored that the fourth generation couple had been seriously injured in the Nine-Tails incident, and some even said that the fourth generation couple had already died...
When Zhenyan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, the system that had not appeared for a long time suddenly came online and reminded him that "Preface Mission 1 has been completed", and then took Zhenyan away from the time point of this mission.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment has changed. He was originally on the street, but now he has returned home...
[System, why did I suddenly go home?] Zhenyan, who didn't know the situation, asked the system directly.
[The last mission has been completed, and now is the time for the new mission.] The inspiration system explained that the deviation rate of the last mission had been high, and the system was trembling with fear all day, so when it detected that the deviation rate dropped to 10%, it immediately settled the mission, fearing that it would be a step late and the deviation rate would rise again...
[Has the mission been completed? Has the deviation rate been reduced?] Shingon asked. Since Naruto was still young, he focused on building the ninja village, but he didn't expect the mission to be completed suddenly.
[The final deviation rate of the previous mission was 10%.] The inspiration system didn't know whether it should be thankful or not. In its original cognition, the deviation rate of 10% in the previous mission was already very high, but the deviation rate of the previous mission was as high as 60%. In comparison, 10% is really a friendly number...
After learning about the situation of the previous mission, Zhenyan was about to inquire about the current situation, but suddenly found that his perspective was somewhat different from before.
Zhenyan looked down at his hands and feet, and compared them with the furnishings in the room. He found that he had actually grown taller...
[How come I've grown taller?] Zhenyan was surprised, [Could it be a mission reward?]
[Now is the new mission time point, the host's age will naturally change.] The spiritual system said.
After listening to the system's explanation, Zhenyan couldn't help but frown: [Are you saying that I performed a time jump? ]
Inspiration System: [You can understand it this way. ]
Zhenyan always felt that something was wrong. If he had time-jumped, where did he go during the time he skipped? Would the people in the village think he was missing?
[Host, don't worry. The spiritual world will automatically fill in the plot and character memories according to the character settings during the skipped time. ]
[So that's how it is...] Zhenyan thought for a moment and asked again, [Will the time of future missions also jump?] The jumping back and forth would greatly affect the progress of his work.
[Before all the main lines are completed, the spiritual world is incomplete, so the host needs to ensure the smooth development of the main line.] The spiritual system said, thinking of the danger of the last mission, it gave two more instructions, [The current spiritual world is still very fragile, this time the host must complete the previous mission well, and no more accidents will happen.]
[Leave it to me.] Zhenyan agreed seriously and asked, [What is the new background mission?]
Spiritual system: [Uchiha clan extinction. ]
Uchiha Shingon: [? ? ? ]!
