Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

Uchiha Xiao nodded and handed over the drawings of two rings with the specifications written on them. One had a nest on it, and the other had a dragon carving on it.

"Once the diamond is finished and placed in the ring with the nest, the other one will be unnecessary." Uchiha Xiao smiled and said, "I will pay you 100 million taels of silver as compensation, and you can distribute it as you wish."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, "Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will finish all of this in just one day!"

Uchiha Owl nodded and left the laboratory.

Chapter 240 Four Shadows Want to Watch the Ceremony

The next day

Uchiha Xiao got up and went to the Hokage's office. Even though tomorrow was his wedding day, as the Hokage, he had to stick to his duties.

So Uchiha Owl dressed up and went to the Hokage Building. During the trip, many Konoha villagers took the initiative to greet Uchiha Owl when they saw him.

"What the hell is Naruto?"

"Morning, Hokage-sama."

"Hokage, these are freshly fried dough sticks. Take one. It's free~"

"Lord Hokage!"

"Lord Hokage..."

Uchiha Xiao smiled and waved his hands, thinking that strong public opinion is always a good thing. Then, surrounded by a group of secret guards, he walked into the Hokage Building.

The villagers on the streets also calmed down from the hustle and bustle and began to busy themselves with their livelihoods.

When Uchiha Xiao pushed open the office door, he saw someone who had arrived earlier than him.

The man was Nara Rokumei, who was sitting upright and reviewing documents. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he raised his head and looked towards the door.

This sight made the boss's eyes widen, and then he stood up and said respectfully, "Hokage-sama."

"Well, no need to be so polite. Thank you for your hard work yesterday." Uchiha Xiao walked to the table, looked at the more than a hundred documents with the Hokage's red approval on his left, and nodded.

"As I should. If it weren't for the Hokage-sama giving me this opportunity, I wouldn't be able to hone my ability to handle government affairs. Moreover, the Hokage-sama is about to get married. As the Hokage's assistant, Lu Ming should share the Hokage-sama's worries."

Nara Rokumei's speech is impeccable and even pleasant to listen to.

Uchiha Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, there are only two of us in the office. There's no need to be so formal." After that, he poured a glass of water for Nara Luming and handed it to him.

"Hokage-sama..." Nara Shikaku took the water with emotion in his eyes. There were too many government affairs yesterday. Because Hokage-sama was about to get married, envoys from various countries and villages were sent to watch the ceremony and send gifts.

Therefore, Nara Rokumei has not slept for almost 24 hours and has been dealing with government affairs, and has not yet finished them.

This is not Nara Rokumei's fault, there are really too many things involved, he has to cheer up, approve the details, and arrange manpower.

"Thank you for your hard work. Tell me some key points, and then you can go home and go to bed. Oh, by the way, remember to come to the ceremony tomorrow. You don't need to bring anything." Uchiha Xiao said with a smile.

He is quite caring towards his subordinates, let alone such capable subordinates. He took a look and found that there were more than 20 documents that had not been approved, which was enough for him to handle alone.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage, for your consideration. I am very grateful. But please forgive me for not being able to comply with your request to attend the ceremony tomorrow without giving any gifts." Nara Shikaku bowed.

Just kidding, everyone gives gifts, and if you don’t, it won’t work no matter how awesome you are.

"Forget it, forget it, don't make it too expensive." Uchiha Xiao waved his hand.

Nara Luming bowed and agreed, but the amount of gifts he would give at that time was not certain.

"Okay, now tell me about the big thing that happened yesterday." Uchiha Owl sat naturally on the Hokage's throne, crossed his legs, put his hands on his legs, and leaned back to look at Nara Shikaku.

Nara Luming nodded and said, "Most of the things that happened yesterday were ordinary. There are only a few that I can't draw conclusions about." Luming handed the four documents on the side to Uchiha Xiao and continued.

"When the four great nations heard that the Hokage was getting married, they not only sent huge gifts but also brought countless local specialties. However, there is one thing that concerns me a lot." Nara Shikaku murmured in a low voice.

"Tell me in detail." Uchiha Xiao's face showed no sadness or joy, his eyes flickered with a thoughtful look.

"I have responded to the matter of the envoys delivering gifts and attending the ceremony, but these four documents state that the four shadows will come to our village for a visit the day before the wedding, which is today, and participate in the ceremony tomorrow."

"I dare not approve this matter, but I believe that several people are already on the way. If Lord Hokage agrees, please approve it. Otherwise, if they come to our Konoha Village and cannot enter, it will ruin our reputation." Nara Shikaku frowned.

Uchiha Xiao raised his eyebrows. These old guys and little monsters were mixed together. If they said they had no plan, Uchiha Xiao would not believe it even if he killed him.

As for worry? That doesn't exist. Then send Hashirama Senju to keep an eye on Raikage Ai, Madara Uchiha to keep an eye on Ohnoki, Izuna Uchiha to keep an eye on Chiyo and Yagura, and Tobirama Senju to keep an eye on Mizukage Karuta Yagura.

There is no need to say much about Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Izuna and Tobirama Senju suppressed the two countries in the first place.

But we can still hold our own against them. What's more, even the most powerful ninja in the ninja world can suppress Konoha. Uchiha Owl doesn't know what he's afraid of. Really, how can I lose with this lineup? How can I lose?!

"Lu Ming, you go and approve it. Just say that I agree to let them watch the ceremony, but they need to control their hands and mouth. If they cause trouble, we will punish them severely according to the laws of Konoha." Uchiha Xiao snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes.

I welcome you to come, but if you cause trouble, I'm sorry, I have to teach you a lesson. It can't be solved without hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.

After all, murder and arson are the golden belts, and this incident can also be used to intimidate the four major countries, making them carefully consider the price of offending Konoha. Can they afford it?

Lu Ming nodded, "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will approve it immediately. Is there anything else you want to order?"

Uchiha Xiao waved his hand and said, "No more, Luming, thank you for your hard work."

Nara Luming nodded and gave Uchiha Xiao a slight OK. After dealing with the matter of watching the ceremony, Nara Luming breathed a sigh of relief. His straight back began to bend. Tsk tsk, I'm so tired of studying in this class.

Uchiha Xiao couldn't help but nodded when he saw this scene. What a good employee.

After Nara Rokumei left, Uchiha Owl called the Anbu and asked them to pass on tomorrow's arrangements to Uchiha Madara and others.

Then he began to review the documents. When Uchiha Xiao opened them, he found that most of them were trivial matters.

What about the guy next door, Zhang San, who went to the public toilet but didn't bring any toilet paper, so he pulled down the toilet curtain and used it as toilet paper... Not only did he not give any compensation, but he also turned around and asked why their public toilet didn't provide any toilet paper?

Uchiha Owl's face turned green. What the hell are these people doing? He, a Hokage, is supposed to handle all this? Is he crazy?

But despite what he said, Uchiha Xiao was still seriously reviewing the documents, but he was muttering something, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

After about three hours, Uchiha Xiao finished approving the documents, put them away, and then stretched.

Although it is a trivial matter, it is still a waste of time to deal with.

Just as he was thinking about the specific events of tomorrow's wedding, the door was suddenly pushed open. "Hokage-sama, the Kages of the four great nations have arrived and are standing outside the village waiting to be received by Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Xiao said "oh" and stood up and walked towards the village entrance.

Chapter 241: The Mission of the Anbu

Uchiha Owl walked towards the village entrance, followed closely by the Anbu captain Hatake Sakumo holding a sword, and behind him was a group of Anbu ninjas.

Some followed Uchiha Owl, while others moved around the houses, looking for the best foothold and observing the situation. If anything went wrong, they would release flares.

Then he rushed forward and fought desperately to ensure Uchiha Xiao's safety, even if it meant exchanging his life for injury.

Maybe they are not as strong as the Kage-level strongmen in terms of strength, and they are exchanging death for injury and using their lives to buy time for Lord Hokage, but they came with a mission.

They are the most respectable group of people. Moreover, after Uchiha Owl came to power, he changed various welfare benefits so that they can have no worries and fight to the death.

Compared with the Kage-level strongmen, most of them are as powerful as mayflies. When they draw their ninja swords and rush towards the invincible enemy, it means that their lives have entered the countdown.

Little did they know that before becoming ANBU, they had to undergo solid training step by step from being a Genin, and had to go through dozens of selections and life-and-death battles of all sizes. They had to work tirelessly and experienced countless dangers.

Eventually they became members of the Anbu, and they were proud of themselves because they were elites, ninjas who stood out from thousands and tens of thousands of ninjas, who could protect the Hokage and use their abilities to contribute to their hometown.

However, this also means that their lives are on countdown, and every day may be the last day, so when they work, they all put their heads on their pants.

No one knows who will die in front of them in the next moment. They have only one mission in their hearts, which is to protect the Hokage, protect the villagers, and protect the future of Konoha.

This is the life of an Anbu. Doesn’t it sound ridiculous and stupid?

But it is precisely because of the existence of such people, people who are not afraid of life and death, that the wheel of history continues to move forward, and history becomes more rich and exciting.

Although their lives are not as exaggerated as those of mayflies, which are born and die in the same day, they have found the meaning of their lives and are not living in a muddle.

Perhaps the value of life lies not in its length, but in whether it is lived fully.

With a lifespan of a hundred years, have we ever truly survived under the influence of external substances? The figures of the Anbu swayed in the cold wind, the bloodstains on their swords becoming their epitaphs.

Maybe they are about to die in the next moment, but there are still people like them who keep working hard to become Anbu ninjas, repeating what they have done.

Just like we are repeating our own things, the difference is that they came with a mission and died after completing it. They knew why they were born and why they died, while we are still on the road to finding the answer...

Uchiha Xiao knew the mission of these Anbu members and cherished the lives of Anbu members, but he could not stop them from realizing their ambitions.

For them, Uchiha Owl chose to respect them and to improve their treatment so that their families could live a peaceful and happy life.

Just when Uchiha Xiao was lost in thought, Hatake Sakumo behind him suddenly said, "Hokage-sama, the village entrance is ahead, please be careful."

As he spoke, he walked up to Uchiha Owl, pulled out the white fang from his waist, and looked forward with a serious expression.

When Uchiha Xiao saw Hatake Sakumo's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly he smiled with relief. He didn't let him retreat, but chose to respect him and let him walk in front.

Soon, Uchiha Owl and Hatake Sakumo saw several figures at the entrance of the village.

Sand Village, Chiyo and Ye Cang.

The Hidden Mist Village, Karuta Yagura.

The Hidden Cloud Village, the Third Raikage Ai, and Young Master Ai.

Iwagakure Village, two scales of Onoki, and loess.

Several people were arguing and slandering each other at the entrance of the village. Suddenly, they stopped and looked towards the gate of Konoha Village together.

Hatake Sakumo walked in front with a solemn look on his face, while Uchiha Owl followed behind with a smile, staring at them. As long as they did anything, he would suppress them with thundering means.

Several people cheered up at the same time, because they all came here with a purpose. Some came to repair the neighborhood relationship, some came to ease the previous atmosphere, and some came to seek alliances and discuss ancillary issues.

It was Granny Chiyo who spoke first. She smiled and said, "As expected, heroes have always emerged from youth. At such a young age, you are unrivaled in strength, and even became the Fourth Hokage. I would like to congratulate you."

Chiyo, who experienced the Second Shinobi World War, witnessed with her own eyes the annihilation of nearly 70% to 80% of the Sand Village's manpower.

She also heard about Uchiha Owl's growing strength, his defeat of Iwagakure, his battle with the Raikage, and his conquest of Mist Village. She had already accepted her fate. As long as Uchiha Owl was there, Konoha would be the strongest in the ninja world.

What's more, Uchiha Owl also resurrected Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, so Chiyo no longer had the desire to compete, so she came here this time to form an alliance with Konoha.

"Thank you so much, Mother-in-law Chiyo. You have turned the tide and saved the dying Sand Village. You are a heroine who is as capable as any man." Uchiha Xiao said with a smile.

He doesn't mind showing kindness to those who show kindness to him. Respect is mutual. Since you respect me, I won't embarrass you in front of everyone.

The Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village twitched his mouth. He didn't expect that Chiyo of the Hidden Sand Village was so talkative at such an old age. He almost believed it.

Ohnoki also stood up at this moment. "Mr. Xiao, it's been a while since you helped us avoid the Thunder Earth War last time. How have you been recently?"

"Well, Lord Tsuchikage, you are still strong and energetic despite your old age!" Uchiha Owl replied.

"At that time, I knew that you would become a great man in the future. Look, now you have become the shadow of a village, in charge of the affairs of the village." Ohnoki said with a smile.
