The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 643 Layout

As we all know, if we want to successfully store water in the early stages of desertification control, the best approach is undoubtedly to focus on vegetation.

Fortunately, in Konoha Village, there were two people, Tenzo and Nawaki, who were able to use Wood Release techniques.

Although Tenzo's strength is relatively weak, and he can be considered a complete fraud, fortunately, Nawaki is still young and has great potential.

Day after day, year after year, they continued to cultivate vegetation, eventually transforming this once barren area into a lush, vibrant, and thriving place.

Because this desert is of great strategic importance to Konoha, they requested Iwagakure to send a large number of people to carry out a large-scale renovation project.

Through tireless efforts, numerous hollow underground pipes have been built to better store and transport water.

Moreover, with the successful opening of the Rain Country mountain range, a continuous and abundant supply of water resources can be used for irrigation through these pipelines.

These measures provided ample water to the green plants that were nurtured by the Wood Release technique, resulting in their excellent growth.

Although only five years have passed since the renovation began, the environment there has undergone tremendous changes.

Compared to the barren, sandy desert landscape of the past, this area near the border has now blossomed into a vibrant oasis.

Such a remarkable change is truly astonishing.

In fact, as early as the post-war negotiation stage, Qianyao had put forward some very forward-looking ideas on how to promote win-win cooperation among all parties.

For example, he suggested that Iwagakure Village exchange its labor for reparations.

At the same time, they demanded that Hidden Cloud Village exchange its advanced technology for compensation, etc.

Thanks to these innovative ideas, villages are able to share resources and complement each other's strengths.

After all, the specific circumstances of each country in the ninja world are quite different.

However, one thing is beyond doubt: if the large-scale joint ninja operation had not been carried out, the Land of Lightning would undoubtedly be far ahead of other ninja villages and countries in various technologies.

This situation is obviously extremely unfavorable to Chiyo's future grand plan to unify the ninja world.

In fact, even if Qianyao had not been taken away by the power of the dragon vein, after the dust settled in that ninja war, Qianyao would have used the glorious victory gained in the war to make up for the various shortcomings and deficiencies of the Land of Fire.

Fortunately, despite Chiyo's absence, Konoha's flourishing development did not deviate from its established correct trajectory.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of his previous plans have been effectively implemented and put into practice.

After Minato finished reporting all the relevant matters, he stood quietly in place, waiting for Chiyo to give further instructions.

After all, he was the Fifth Hokage before he left.

And he is also the chief planner of Konoha's current prosperity.

Qian Yao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said slowly:

"Konoha is developing quite well right now. All other matters can proceed steadily according to the original plan. As for the position of Hokage, Minato, you will continue to serve as Hokage."

After a brief pause, Qianyao continued:

"Also, the news of my return needs to be kept confidential for now. We'll discuss it further after I've finalized my next steps."

When they learned that Chiyo had no plans to launch a war immediately, the Uchiha clan members all showed a deep sense of disappointment.

They had always hoped that Qianyao would return and lead them to unify the entire ninja world, realizing the clan's grand ambition.

However, at this moment, this expectation seems to have been temporarily dashed.

In stark contrast to the Uchiha clan's reaction, Minato and Tsunade secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they are pacifists, but rather that Konoha Village is currently in a crucial phase of rapid development.

If war were to break out at this time, it would undoubtedly disrupt the existing development pace and bring incalculable losses to the village.

Therefore, they believe that a period of time is needed for Konoha to consolidate and accumulate strength before they will have enough confidence to deal with potential external wars.

Five years may seem like a long time for an individual, but in the context of the overall development of the Land of Fire, it is just the beginning.

During this period, the Land of Fire needs to continuously consolidate its foundation, expand its resource channels, and enhance its comprehensive national strength in order to remain invincible in future conflicts.

If Konoha were to attempt to conquer the entire ninja world, it would likely cause Iwagakure and Kumogakure to quickly unite, potentially dragging the country into a protracted war.

The Susanoo of the Thousand Yao Association is good, but he needs to consider when the Otsutsuki from outer space will descend, and Jigen from the ninja world.

Therefore, Qianyao will not deploy too many people to carry out large-scale wars.

This time, he planned to make a fuss about those students.

In addition to the discussion on whether to launch a war, another key issue at this meeting was whether Chiyo should return to the position of Hokage.

After all, the Hokage's power has begun to grow gradually, and even the Daimyo's presence is gradually weakening.

However, it is clear from Qianyao's words that he himself has no intention of vying for power.

Minato was naturally pleased to see this situation unfold.

After all, in the eyes of most citizens of the Land of Fire and villagers of Konoha, Minato's image and prestige have become deeply ingrained in people's hearts and have gained widespread recognition and support.

In contrast, Qianyao seemed completely indifferent to these secular powers.

Governing is no easy task, involving numerous complex administrative affairs and a constant stream of thorny issues.

Qianyao has always been free and easygoing, so how could he be willing to be bound by these trivial matters?

In comparison, the young and energetic Minato is clearly more suited to take on this responsibility.

When it comes to handling various political affairs, Shuimen is quite adept and efficient.

As for the power aspect, what Qianyao is most concerned about is the powerful force contained within the elite class.

In his view, as long as he firmly controls this core force, he can solidify his position and extend his influence to the entire clan and even the ninja world.

As for fame and recognition, Chiyo firmly believed that when he led his army to attack other ninja villages, his own illustrious reputation would quickly accumulate.

"Let's adjourn this meeting. I just got back and have some things to take care of."

"We'll discuss the rest next time. Leave the Kaleidoscope here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the respected elders of the clan stepped forward, respectfully bowed to Qian Yao, and then slowly left.

The others also accepted their orders and went to their posts, each performing their duties.

In the blink of an eye, only a few Mangekyou Sharingan masters from the Uchiha clan remained in the huge conference room.
