Chapter 138 Make up your mind
After a brief week's rest on the front line, Orochimaru also received an order to retreat from the village.
Uchiha Nan did not follow his own path, but followed the main force back to the village after a two-day long journey.
The streets of Konoha were already filled with people welcoming their return, and the cheers and shouts were deafening.
"That's Master Jiraiya. I heard that he defeated the Third Tsuchikage in the war in Iwagakure this time."
"Lord Orochimaru is a very capable person. He is the main force in this fight against the Iwagakure Village. Without him, the village would not have been able to win."
"***I love you"
The civilians stood outside the team and cheered, passively accepting the hero promoted by some well-intentioned people in the village.
And in this battlefield of Iwagakure, the most popular figures are the two disciples of Hokage, the battlefield commander Orochimaru, and the popular Jiraiya.
As for Uchiha Minami who defeated the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and captured the Third Tsuchikage, who was that? They had never heard of this name.
As the most ambitious person in the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally not miss an opportunity to win people's hearts like today.
He stood in the middle of the crowd to welcome the returning ninjas, asked them about their well-being, solved their various problems, and acted like a caring old man.
He even gave Uchiha Nan a comforting look out of the corner of his eye.
It seems to be saying that you have done a good job and the village will not forget your contribution.
But you are still young and it’s not appropriate to publicize it. Forget it this time, but you will definitely do it next time.
"Master Jiraiya, I heard that you defeated the Third Tsuchikage and saved many warriors' lives. You are amazing."
A young woman in simple clothes rushed up, blinking her adoring eyes, and put the wreath in her hand around Jiraiya's neck.
"Hahahaha" Jiraiya scratched his head feeling embarrassed. He wanted to say something but saw his teacher winking at him.
I chose to remain silent and accept the praise from the people around me.
Uchiha Nan watched this scene quietly and sneered in his heart.
It's just a little trick. Does Sarutobi Hiruzen think this can weaken his influence in the village?
Do you think this will be able to influence him? Do you think that not publicizing his achievements among the common people will be able to erase what he did?
That is impossible. The ninjas who have experienced this war will never forget Uchiha Minami's powerful strength and unshakable position.
As the elite of the village and the backbone of their families, most of them have great influence.
With their publicity, people around them will naturally receive news about Uchiha Minami.
His contributions cannot be erased so easily.
"Master Nan, we are leaving first."
"Yes, my Lord's family is here to pick us up."
These two ninjas who performed more cleverly and had stronger strength in this war greeted Uchiha Minami and left with their families.
One after another, people met their families and left the team to reunite with them.
But those people would also come to him respectfully and greet him.
This seems to have become an unspoken rule and most people do it.
They came to Uchiha Nan, and people who came to greet him formed a long line.
The people around also noticed this scene, and some people asked curiously
"Who is that adult? He looks so young."
"Yes, he seems to be very prestigious."
There were people around them who had been saved by Uchiha Nan and had seen his powerful strength. They came forward and explained to them excitedly:
"That sir's name is Uchiha Nan. His strength is like that of a god. He has defeated many powerful enemies and saved us from danger many times."
"Yes, that sir is not only powerful but also kind-hearted. He is a disciple of Master Tsunade and often treats our injuries."
"........."
…………
Hearing so many people praising him, the subconscious rejection that people had in their hearts because he was a member of the Uchiha clan disappeared.
"Really? Then he's really amazing."
"I see. The Uchiha clan has produced a hero."
The people around started talking and looked at Lord Uchiha Minami, as many ninjas called him, with high respect and eager eyes.
As a result, his attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen decreased, causing his smiling, somewhat old face to darken.
His eyes were also fixed on the spirited Uchiha brat.
In my heart, I have been thinking about what method I can use to weaken Uchiha Nan's prestige. I can't let him threaten the status of their faction.
Should we let Danzo do this? After all, he did a great job with White Fang.
But when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking of evil ideas, Uchiha Minami, after what happened today, no longer intended to let Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo continue to mess around.
After all, this is the ninja world where strength is everything. Only with strength can you have the confidence to speak.
These two clowns are always making secret moves to disgust me.
Uchiha Nan didn't want to indulge them anymore, and the important thing to do was to get rid of them as soon as possible.
As for the position of Hokage vacated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Minami also had some ideas in his mind.
He is only 11 years old and is not suitable to take over. Besides, he doesn't like the work that the Hokage needs to do.
Just like when he was the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he threw all the government affairs to the chief elder to handle.
Can we do the same with things in the village?
He first trained a puppet Hokage and familiarized him with the village's political affairs.
After a few more years, the puppet abdicated but continued to handle village affairs.
He became a Hokage who punched in for work every day and slacked off.
By the way, if we can hire a capable secretary at the same time, wouldn’t that be perfect?
Uchiha Nan gave a thumbs up because of his own thoughts.
But who should be chosen to become Hokage?
While thinking about this question, Uchiha Nan also brought the Uchiha clan members who went out on this expedition back to the gate of the clan territory.
After saying goodbye to each other, everyone followed their loved ones back to their homes.
Uchiha Nan also saw it at the door, and saw Sister Mikoto, who was so excited that she wanted to rush over to him, but was a little embarrassed and conflicted.
He smiled and took two quick steps forward, hugged the lovely and charming Mikoto in his arms, and kissed her lightly on the corner of her mouth.
"Misaki-san, have you missed me during this long time?"
"Oh, there are other people around!"
Uchiha Mikoto was kissed by Nan in public, which made her very embarrassed and her face turned red with shame.
But she was a weak person to begin with, and even though she felt uncomfortable, she would not stop anything and let him continue to bully her.
Fortunately, Uchiha Minami had no intention of performing for the audience. He pulled the shy sister Mikoto and walked towards his house.
