Konoha: I’m Naruto’s Brother — Gilgamesh Chapter 65 65: I’ll Prepare a Surprise for “Madara Uchiha”!

"When you have ti, write down all the jutsu you know."

Uzumaki Shuji watched Hashirama Senju perform the technique and found it rather useful.

It was only a C-rank jutsu, and the chakra consumption was minimal.

Once ordinary farrs learned chakra control, they could use it themselves.

For Uzumaki Shuji, one of the greatest absurdities of this world was how such incredible productive power was wasted almost entirely on killing.

"Does Edo Tensei really allow you to order to do this?"

Hashirama looked speechless.

He felt that this child was becoming more and more outrageous.

As soone born into a clan, he understood better than anyone how radical it was to open jutsu to the public.

At the mont, Konoha's clans were only complying because they feared Uzumaki Shuji's overwhelming strength.

But Uzumaki Shuji had also compensated them with rewards, easing much of their resentnt.

Watching this, Hashirama had to admit he was impressed.

So this was another way to govern.

"Write them down or don't. It's up to you."

"Sooner or later, new techniques will be developed anyway."

Uzumaki Shuji did not particularly care about Hashirama's personal techniques.

At Hashirama's level, once one fully understood chakra nature transformation and possessed precise control, hand seals beca largely unnecessary.

You simply thought it, and chakra obeyed.

Hand seals were only training wheels for beginners.

"So impatient."

Hashirama shook his head helplessly.

"But you've done many things I never dared to do."

"Konoha… no, Uruk… will beco stronger and stronger."

"You were limited by the world you lived in."

"It restricted your imagination and taught you not to cross certain lines."

"I don't care about any of that."

"As king, I possess everything my people have."

"And in return, I bear the responsibility of protecting them."

Uzumaki Shuji's tone was calm but absolute.

If he accepted their loyalty and tribute, then he would also shoulder the duty that ca with it.

"But war is inevitable."

"Soon, you'll face an invasion from the Land of Fire."

"And the surrounding nations will take advantage of the chaos."

"The entire ninja world will descend into war."

That was the issue Hashirama cared about most.

He had never wanted more death.

That was why he had humbled himself before weaker Kage and even distributed the tailed beasts at bargain prices, hoping mutual fear would preserve peace.

"War can never be stopped."

"Even if I unify the entire world, new wars will still arise."

"As long as I have no regrets and fulfill my duty as king, that is enough."

Uzumaki Shuji had no interest in explaining the future threat of the Ōtsutsuki.

Even if the ninja world found peace, invaders from beyond would not stop.

Hashirama always looked for the best possible outco.

Uzumaki Shuji prepared for the worst.

He turned to Genma Shiranui.

"Post this technique on the village bulletin board."

"Anyone who wants to learn it can do so."

Genma had once served as Minato Namikaze's bodyguard.

Since Uzumaki Shuji needed a capable errand runner, he had chosen him.

A few days earlier, Uzumaki Shuji had finalized the structure of Uruk's new governnt:

Fugaku Uchiha — Supre Marshal of the Empire of UrukShikaku Nara — Chief Administrative OfficerKakashi Hatake — Commander of City DefenseHiashi Hyuga — Minister of FinanceChoza Akimichi — Minister of Agriculture

Most of the day-to-day burdens were delegated.

Uzumaki Shuji had no intention of drowning himself in administration.

As long as he controlled the overall direction, that was enough.

As long as his strength remained supre, the king would always remain king.

"This child…"

Hashirama glanced at Genma.

"You once served as the Fourth Hokage. Was he like this too?"

"No."

Genma smiled awkwardly.

"The Fourth Hokage was much gentler. He treated us very well."

Hashirama laughed.

"Then it must be the Uzumaki blood."

"Mito had a temper just like that."

"Your Majesty."

Fugaku appeared and knelt.

"Many spies are approaching our nation."

"It seems the Five Great Villages and the Land of Fire are all paying close attention."

Ever since the Uchiha were freed from decades of suppression, Fugaku felt as though a mountain had been lifted from his shoulders.

The forr Police Force had been reorganized into the King's Guard and external military units.

Internal security was now overseen by Kakashi and mixed teams of clan and civilian shinobi.

"Let them watch."

"If they want to enter, they register properly."

"If they use false identities, kill them."

"This is the royal capital of Uruk now, not a hidden village."

"There is no need to hide behind walls and secrets."

"And if anyone dares to cause trouble here, I will personally repay them."

Uzumaki Shuji's voice was icy.

Whether spies ca or not made little difference.

The mont he beca king, this world entered the age of overwhelming force.

The Land of Fire no longer posed a aningful threat.

The only issue was a temporary shortage of manpower.

And he preferred not to make himself the imdiate enemy of the entire ninja world before consolidating his strength.

"Understood."

Fugaku nodded.

Then his expression darkened.

"There is one more matter."

"The missing-nin Itachi Uchiha."

"So ti ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered him to bring back the one calling himself 'Madara Uchiha' and assist in the extermination of the Uchiha."

"There is a strong possibility they will appear soon."

When speaking of Itachi, Fugaku's face beca complicated.

No matter what his son had done, he was still his son.

But after learning that Itachi had secretly handed Uzumaki Shuji's Mangekyō to Uzumaki Shuji, Fugaku felt a small asure of relief.

At least there was still hope for him.

When Uzumaki Shuji heard the words "Madara Uchiha," his expression changed for the first ti.

Excitent.

And killing intent.

"Deploy the Byakugan reconnaissance teams."

"Search every inch inside and outside the village."

"As for this matter…"

A faint smile curved Uzumaki Shuji's lips.

"Leave it to ."

"I have a very special surprise prepared for 'Madara Uchiha.'"
