What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

The information left by the Second Hokage indicated that the Uchiha clan members who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan were often extreme, making them unsuitable to become Hokage. 

Otherwise, there was a high chance that Konoha would either face internal turmoil or turn into a war-hungry nation, which would be a huge disaster for the village.

However, Uchiha Kai smiled at this moment and said, "Don't worry, Lord Third. As a member of the Uchiha clan, I am very aware of our clan's issues. The Uchiha who becomes Hokage in the future will surely have activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, and their personality will likely be extreme. Moreover, due to the nature of the Uchihas, they are not suited to handle the complex and tedious affairs of the village."

"So, we can adopt a policy similar to that of the Cloud Village—actually, the raikage of Cloud Village shares many similarities with the extreme Uchiha. However, they manage to use the Cloud Village's advisory council to keep the raikage's hot temper in check, ensuring he doesn't make irrational decisions."

"I believe this model is perfect for the Uchiha who will become Hokage in the future. We just need to make slight modifications to fit Konoha's needs. Don't worry! I'll push for this model to be implemented, and with my influence in the Uchiha clan, no matter who becomes Hokage from our clan in the future, this policy will be carried out."

"When an Uchiha finally becomes Hokage, the clan's biggest obsession will disappear, and at that point, fully integrating into Konoha will no longer be a problem."

"To be honest, in my view, the best solution for the Uchiha clan is to completely open up our intermarriage policy, allowing unions with other clans or even civilians, just like the Senju clan has fully integrated into Konoha."

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked. He never expected that Uchiha Kai, being from the Uchiha clan, would actively choose to limit the Uchiha clan, even advocating for their complete integration into Konoha, with effective plans and methods.

Such high-minded awareness undoubtedly represented the true Will of Fire, passed down from the First Hokage.

Moreover, Uchiha Kai didn't just have vision but also wisdom and political acumen. Many of his ideas even left Sarutobi Hiruzen in awe.

Especially when the two of them later discussed the situation in the entire ninja world, Uchiha Kai spoke eloquently, discussing the conditions of the other nations, the threats they posed to Konoha, presenting various theories and conclusions, and ultimately determining that a new Ninja World War was about to begin.

At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen even thought, "Perhaps Uchiha Kai becoming Hokage wouldn't be such a bad idea."

However, this thought was only fleeting, and it even made him feel regret—Uchiha Kai undoubtedly possessed the mindset of a Hokage, wisdom comparable to the Second Hokage, and the grand vision of the First Hokage. 

He was undoubtedly a prime candidate to become Hokage, but he was just a chunin. Even though he had recently awakened a two-tomoe Sharingan, his strength was still too weak.

In any of the five great countries, to become a Kage, the most basic requirement is to have strength at the Kage level. 

Sometimes, being close to it is acceptable, but the key is still to have the strength. Without that, one cannot control the situation.

Uchiha Kai's strength was undoubtedly far from sufficient, and at nearly nineteen years old, his talent and potential had already fully revealed themselves. His future was already clear.

Someone like Uchiha Kai could never become Hokage.

So, at that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen truly felt regretful, and that was also why his expression was so complicated after leaving the Uchiha Kai's home.

As for whether Uchiha Kai was telling the truth…

Heh, matters like these in words are tricky. 

If everything goes smoothly, then it's "as if he could predict the future, with unparalleled schemes," and everyone is happy. 

If something goes wrong, then it's just "a temporary measure to reassure Sarutobi Hiruzen."

As they say, adults talk about interests, and since it's about interests, whether what's said will hold true depends on how the relationship develops in the future.

If everything moves toward the worst-case scenario and the situation becomes as irreconcilable as in the original story, then Uchiha Kai can only hold his three-foot blade and declare—

"Konoha has always belonged to my Uchiha clan. What is the Konoha Council? Now, it's time for the Uchiha clan to take back what belongs to us."

The conversation between Uchiha Kai and the Third Hokage was kept hidden, mainly regarding Uchiha's potential rise to Hokage.

After all, it involved too many issues that were not suitable for the current situation. Revealing such matters would surely cause a series of disturbances and problems.

Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen was concerned that if the outside world learned of Uchiha Kai's intelligence, it would make him a target for assassination by other ninja villages. 

Even to protect Uchiha Kai, who held the Will of Fire and exceptional intelligence, key information had to be kept concealed.

Then, there was the matter of...

"The Cultural Department, with the Will of Fire of the Land of Fire and Konoha at its core, aims to promote the beauty and core culture of Konoha. This would attract more talent and resources to Konoha, boosting the city's economy and population growth…"

"This department will base its activities on the 'Genjutsu Game,' a unique Konoha-created competition model that differs from traditional combat methods. As the sole faction controlling this 'Genjutsu Game,' Konoha will have a significant advantage…"

"Once fully operational, this department will enable Konoha's soft power to completely overshadow the other countries. It will also create at least 10,000 stable jobs, turning Konoha into a major city with a population exceeding 100,000…"

"With the rapid population and economic growth, Konoha can expand its ninja academies, enhancing the village's cohesion and increasing the number of ninjas. This will further expand the market, create more jobs, and establish a positive cycle…"

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the lengthy report from Uchiha Kai, his eyes growing brighter with every line. 

At times, he was struck with moments of enlightenment, then fell into deep thought, contemplating the feasibility of the ideas presented.

Some new terms, such as job positions, and the economic benefits brought to Konoha made Sarutobi Hiruzen amazed, with a sense of realization that "so Konoha can develop this way."

After Uchiha Kai localized the advanced concepts from the 21st century to fit the ninja world, there was nothing too futuristic or hard to understand. 

Even though some ideas were novel, he added annotations to make it easier for Sarutobi Hiruzen to comprehend.

This plan was submitted to Sarutobi Hiruzen the day after Uchiha Kai's discussion with him.
