Chapter 379: Holy Mother Tuan Cang

Konoha Village, with the Daimyo's unconditional support, developed very rapidly.

The other ninja villages were the same, all scrambling to develop their economies.

This period, following the Hashirama era, was the most peaceful time in the Ninja World.

All the major ninja villages were planning development, and even the small nations were unwilling to fall behind.

Border skirmishes had greatly decreased…

And so it lasted for a full three years.

Year 28 of Konoha.

After three years of development, present‑day Konoha Village has begun to reach the scale of the Mingsuo era.

Technology has directly reached the level of sixty years in the original work.

As long as there is money, developing is not a problem.

I don't know which person came up with that policy.

As long as you have children, you can receive subsidies; the more children you have, the more money you get.

In an instant, the population surged!

Other ninja villages, seeing this, began to imitate one after another.

With a large population proportion, more newborns can possess the Ninja Talent.

It doesn't show in the short term; after another ten or twenty years…

The number of ninja in the village is absolutely enormous.

Even now, the number of ninja continues to grow, and the village's overall strength has reached its peak.

It's not only Konoha; the other ninja villages are the same.

And all of this is thanks to the complete support of the Daimyos of each nation!

Aside from the state's basic expenses, the remaining assets were all allocated to the ninja villages.

If development fails, it's a disaster.

If it truly fails to develop, one can only say someone is corrupt.

But such a situation basically never occurs.

The Kage of each village aren't fools; they couldn't do such a thing.

Petty gains would sacrifice the village's development.

Perhaps only a foolish Daimyo could do it.

In fact, it really is so.

When the Daimyo controlled the economy back then, the village's development was very slow.

It wasn't until they eliminated the Daimyo that this situation changed.

Hokage Office.

"Tuan Cang, why did you call me here?"

Lian Ye pushed the door open, walked in, and unabashedly pulled a chair to sit down.

Tuan Cang had long become accustomed to Lian Ye's rudeness.

The Hokage Office has only three chairs; two are for the Hokage and the Hokage Assistant, and the remaining one belongs to Lian Ye.

When others come to the office for meetings, they can only stand, including the Hokage Advisor and the heads of the major families.

"The matter of the Uchiha Clan, you know about it, right?" Tuan Cang's face turned grim.

"What? Uchiha?"

Lian Ye looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

He stays at home every day, and simply doesn't know the state of the Uchiha.

Usually it's learned from Uchiha Jing's mouth…

Could it be that that old Uchiha Tanaka has died?

That would indeed make everyone happy!

Should I go watch the spectacle myself?

But judging from Tuan Cang's expression, the old guy probably hasn't died.

It's most likely that the Uchiha are planning another coup.

It's been over twenty years, and still no coup.

The Uchiha have been swallowing their grievances!

If it were Madara Uchiha, they'd probably have launched a coup long ago.

Where would they wait another twenty years?

No, it seems he was planning to destroy Konoha outright…

"Wait for Jing to arrive, then we'll talk," Tuan Cang said coldly.

Ri Zhan looked anxiously at his friend, fearing he might act irrationally.

Soon, Uchiha Jing entered the office with a solemn expression.

"Sorry, Tuan Cang."

"Hmph, I told you then that your method was unreliable!" Tuan Cang snorted.

Back then, Jing said that if he were given real authority, he could stabilize the Uchiha Clan's Eagle Faction.

He had long said that this only treats the symptom, not the root.

But Jing wanted to try…

At first it did stabilize the Uchiha's Eagle Faction, but as time passed, Eagle Faction members began to usurp Jing as Hokage.

Uchiha Jing really had no choice; he could only come to Tuan Cang for help.

Lian Ye instantly guessed the whole cause and effect of the matter.

It must be that the Uchiha Clan is dissatisfied with the Hokage Advisor position and wants to seize the Hokage Position.

Mirror could only go to Tuan Cang to file a complaint.

No one knows the Uchiha Clan better than him; that Qianshou Feijian kid doesn't either!

"Lian Ye, the situation is like this..."

Uchiha Jing just wanted to explain, but Lian Ye waved his hand and cut him off.

"Fine, isn't it just that the Uchiha are trying to stage a coup again?"

The three in the office wore complicated expressions.

They hadn't even spoken, yet they already knew the reason.

Sure enough, only the Uchiha understand the Uchiha.

Fortunately, Lian Ye was adopted by Teacher Feijian since childhood, making him half a Senju People.

He has a fundamental difference from those evil Uchiha!

"Tuan Cang, how do you want to resolve this?" Lian Ye asked directly.

Such matters still depend on how the Hokage decides.

If he were to handle it, of course he'd kill all the Eagle Faction.

Then his Laboratory would have a wall of Sharingan.

As soon as he said that, the two's gazes simultaneously fell on Tuan Cang.

Uchiha Jing's sweaty palms showed his nerves; he was very worried that Tuan Cang's decision would cause irreparable harm to the Uchiha.

Although the Uchiha Eagle Faction kept shouting about a coup, they never acted on it.

They only liked to brag.

He hoped Tuan Cang would be lenient toward the Uchiha for his sake.

A light punishment is now impossible.

Tuan Cang has long been displeased with the Uchiha Clan.

Now those guys have become even more extreme; they must be suppressed with Thunderous Method.

All the Uchiha Eagle Faction are to be locked up in Konoha Prison!

"Mirror, give me a list of the Uchiha Eagle Faction, and I'll go in with the ANBU to capture them!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's eyes flashed with anger as he said in a deep voice.

These years have given the Uchiha too much leeway.

Tuan Cang can tolerate the Uchiha's arrogance, but he absolutely cannot tolerate them meddling with his Hokage Position!

He himself has only been Hokage for a few years.

The inherently evil Uchiha Eagle Faction wants to stage a coup to seize his position.

What a joke!

Even if the Uchiha are only bragging now and have never acted, it still cannot be allowed!

We must use Thunderous Method to directly suppress them!

Lian Ye raised an eyebrow, feeling puzzled.

How has Tuan Cang, after being Hokage for a few years, become a Holy Mother?

He actually only captured all the Eagle Faction, not slaughtered them all?

His gaze subconsciously fell on Ri Zhan.

The two are together every day; Tuan Cang must have been influenced by Ri Zhan.

"Tuan Cang, is this too much?"

Yuanfei Rizhan frowned and voiced his thoughts.

"The Uchiha Clan hasn't even started a coup, and you bring the ANBU to capture people; that will only exacerbate the Village's conflict with the Uchiha..."

Everything requires evidence.

He thinks Tuan Cang's approach has a big problem.

"I agree with Ri Zhan's view," Uchiha Jing quickly echoed.

Tuan Cang's method is too extreme; it will only heighten the Eagle Faction's discontent with the Hokage.

A gentler approach is needed.

Lian Ye: "..."

What a guy, an even more Holy Mother has arrived.

If we really wait for the Uchiha Clan's coup, things will only get worse.

I really don't know what they're thinking in their heads.

"Cough..."

Lian Ye's light cough drew the three's attention.

They all cast their gazes.

Lian Ye smiled and voiced his opinion.

"In my view, we might as well slaughter the entire Eagle Faction."
