“The Land of Water, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning—these great nations are not within my choices.”
Uchiha Tenxiu immediately ruled out these great nations.
Given his Uchiha bloodline and identity, if he went to their countries, even if he wasn’t conscripted and sent to the battlefield, he would be treated as a Bloodline Limit seed for procreation. He’d probably die of exhaustion in bed within a few years.
“Although I like beautiful women, that doesn’t mean I’m indiscriminate and can stomach anything!”
“Secondly, smaller countries near the borders of great nations, like the Land of Rain, are even less of an option. Whether it’s their development potential or the risk of becoming battlegrounds for the great nations, they are all outside my scope of choice.”
“Conversely, countries like the Land of Lou Lan on the edge of the desert, the Snow Country in the far west, and the Land of Demons, can actually be considered as alternatives. Firstly, they don’t have too many resources that normal Ninja need, which can avoid the ambition and scrutiny of outsiders. Secondly, Lou Lan’s Dragon Vein, the Snow Country’s technology, and the Land of Demons’ Miko abilities are all quite unique treasures, it’s just that the people of the Ninja World don’t recognize their value!”
As for development potential, besides considering war factors, these three countries also possess natural barriers that smaller countries like the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers do not. Whether it’s Lou Lan’s vast desert, the Snow Country’s icy mountains, or the Land of Demons’ terrifying canyon, they essentially isolate the land. They can completely achieve a strategic method of one against dozens, with an absolute advantage in defense.
Don’t talk about resources, food, or population.
For Uchiha Tenxiu, who transmigrated from China, these are truly not big deals. Although Uchiha Tenxiu himself cannot directly solve them, he knows how to solve them. As long as enough scientists and manpower are gathered, direct site magic transformation can be carried out!
With the black technology of the Ninja World, directly replicating the technological applications from his previous life would be enough to solve the land resource problem.
Uchiha Tenxiu has no doubts about the black technology of this Hokage world; he holds it in considerable regard.
Coupled with the Ninjutsu of Ninja, so-called environmental constraints are simply not a big deal.
It simply requires the spirit of the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains and an unyielding attitude. Keep striving. If it doesn't work in one or two years, try three to five. If three to five years aren't enough, then seven or eight. As long as you persist, success is inevitable.
In his previous life, the desert regions of the Northwest could be gradually pushed back by diligent people, even reversing it with greening efforts.
Now, with the aid of stronger black technology and supernatural powers, would he be inferior to ordinary working people?
“It’s only these Ninja with their small-minded thinking who don’t properly develop their own hometowns, only coveting the fruits of others’ labor, stealing and plundering. It’s utterly shameless.”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought disdainfully.
However, he didn’t care about his own actions of undermining Konoha.
Therefore, for Uchiha Tenxiu, who comes from China, facing various difficulties and efforts in barren areas will certainly not lack the courage and mental fortitude to act.
This is a unique spiritual heritage of China that will not be forgotten, even when transmigrated to another world.
Otherwise, Uchiha Tenxiu wouldn’t have thought of running away and starting a business at the age of seven.
“After all, it’s time for me, the successor, to inherit the great enterprise!” Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself.
…
“Additionally, with a clear target for the relocation, the next step is to gather funds and recruit various talents. As for Konoha, I can’t let it go either; it would be best to win over some reliable people to work for me.”
Uchiha Tenxiu’s eyes shifted, and he had many ideas.
Konoha, as the center of the entire Land of Fire, has countless large and small Ninja clans joining it. Even the weakest clans here are excellent elites who have survived countless years of war and elimination. In other small countries, they would be regional overlords. If these people were truly pulled away, they could absolutely become his best assistance.
And regarding this point.
Uchiha Tenxiu, as a cunning old man who has been reborn, naturally understands this. Therefore, even with his current young body, through establishing dominance, sharing profits, and using PUA tactics, he has gathered a group of peers from Uchiha’s affiliated clans around him. He believes that after some time of training, they will gradually become his trusted confidantes. Although undermining the clan is a bit unethical.
But it must be said, rather than letting these people contribute to Konoha’s funeral industry in the wars of the coming years, it’s better for him to take them away from the beginning. It can also be considered bringing new vitality to the Uchiha Clan.
Anyway, in the original plot’s development, everything belonging to the Uchiha was completely annihilated.
It became nourishment for Konoha to feast upon.
It would be better if it was given to me, Uchiha, from the start!
Uchiha Tenxiu thought with determination.
After eating, Uchiha Tenxiu quickly tidied up and went out, arriving by the Naka River.
“Ah! It’s Tenxiu-nii…” Kamado Taro stopped swinging his small katana and quickly ran over.
Shakugotsu Ikki’s eyes also lit up, and he enthusiastically shouted, “Tenxiu-nii, you’re here!”
“Tenxiu-nii…”
Kagami Ogawa shyly said softly, looking at Uchiha Tenxiu with admiration.
At this moment, on the solid, icy surface of the Naka River, which was crystal clear from the cold and reflected the morning sun, seven boys of the same age were gathered, performing basic Ninja training.
These were precisely the group of “spirited” youths Uchiha Tenxiu had gathered around himself. After all, a hero needs three helpers; uniting more people can establish a force centered around himself. After a series of power displays, combat guidance, and mental PUA, these individuals were basically Uchiha Tenxiu’s loyal subordinates.
At this moment, as soon as everyone saw Uchiha Tenxiu arrive, they all, without exception, immediately smiled brightly and came forward to greet him.
“Kamado Taro, Shakugotsu Ikki, Kagami Ogawa… you all came quite early!”
Uchiha Tenxiu smiled and nodded in response.
From their names, it can be seen that although they were affiliated with the Uchiha Clan, they themselves did not belong to the normal main lineage of the Uchiha Clan; they weren’t even considered a branch.
They were merely members of small clans that had been dependent on the Uchiha Clan for thousands of years.
There are many such clans. Over thousands of years, countless clans rose and fell by depending on the Uchiha. In the continuously warring Sengoku period, they were some of the few small clan members who survived into the Ninja Village era.
In reality, it’s easy to imagine.
Even if the Uchiha Clan was individually powerful, it would be impossible for a single Ninja clan to contend with the Senju Clan, which was known for uniting people and having numerical superiority. Even if one clan defeated the other, there would be no absolute advantage to eliminate them or seize enough benefits.
What’s more, besides fighting, Ninja also need to survive in this world. Even powerful Uchiha would have areas they were not suited for, such as business, forging, or farming. And the Uchiha Clan, being specialized in combat and valuing military strength above all else, how could they devote their energy to matters outside of combat? Therefore, the existence of some affiliated clans is perfectly reasonable.
Moreover, occasionally, a branch bloodline of the Uchiha Clan would marry into these families, and it’s possible that one day, they might awaken the Uchiha Clan’s Bloodline Limit, the Sharingan.
Just like Uchiha Tenxiu’s ancestors.
His great-grandfather Toyotomi Ichiji married a woman from a branch of the Uchiha Clan. Although Uchiha Tenxiu’s grandfather did not inherit the Sharingan, Uchiha Tenxiu’s father, Toyotomi Yaoguang, awakened the Sharingan during a battle with the Senju Clan and gained the appreciation of the Uchiha Clan’s high-ranking members. While being granted the Uchiha name, he also married the main lineage’s Uchiha Nene, eventually giving birth to Uchiha Tenxiu himself.
Therefore, Uchiha Tenxiu has the Uchiha surname and did not inherit his father’s earlier Toyotomi surname.
From this, it can be seen that many of the Uchiha Clan’s affiliated families themselves have Uchiha blood flowing through them.
Uchiha Izumi of later generations was also like this; when she hadn’t awakened her bloodline and Sharingan, she would follow her original family name. But once her bloodline awakened, she would inevitably return to the Uchiha.
