The reconstruction of Amegakure was in full swing.
Because many areas needed to be redesigned, Mirai Uchiha stayed in the Rain Village for a while.
Watching endless supplies being transported in, the Rain Village ninjas all showed excitement on their faces.
They had originally assumed that Mirai Uchiha's offer to help rebuild the village was just an empty promise, and that his real goal was to plunder resources from Amegakure.
The greed of powerful nations had already been exposed in countless wars before this one.
However, what shocked the Rain Village ninjas was that the Shen Nation, ruled by Mirai Uchiha, actually sent them truckloads of essential supplies.
In just half a month, the initial planning of Amegakure had already been completed.
At this speed, it wouldn't take more than six months to finish rebuilding the village.
The most important part was...
Except for needing to exert some effort, they paid no other costs and could eat well every day.
If they'd known life under the Shen Nation would be this good, why bother resisting at all!

As he walked along the newly rebuilt streets of Amegakure, Mirai Uchiha mulled over his next move.
Now all nine Tailed Beasts were gathered.
Next, he simply needed to locate where Obito Uchiha and Zetsu were hiding.
Though those two had highly effective ways of hiding, it posed no real challenge for Mirai Uchiha.
Now the ninja world was gradually falling into his control.
Once he controlled every country, tracking down Obito Uchiha and Zetsu would be a piece of cake.
As Mirai Uchiha passed around a corner, he saw a girl with purple hair and golden eyes, looking disheveled as she strained to carry some logs.
The girl looked clearly exhausted, but her eyes burned with determination.
While Mirai Uchiha was observing the girl, she also noticed him.
"M-Mirai... Mirai Uchiha?!"
Seeing Mirai Uchiha, who came from the heavenly palace, clearly made the girl panic.
She had never imagined someone from the Lower Ranks like herself would ever get to meet someone as revered as Mirai Uchiha.
The girl quickly knelt on the ground, respectfully bowing to Mirai Uchiha.
Lately everyone in the village had been calling Mirai Uchiha the heavenly envoy sent to save Amegakure, and the last thing she wanted was to offend him.
Seeing the girl's nervous posture, Mirai Uchiha waved a hand. "Relax. I won't bite your head off."
"You're so young—why are you doing work like this?"
"Carrying assets must be quite a difficult task for you."
Hearing this, the girl murmured, "In Amegakure, you have to prove your loyalty to the village before becoming a ninja."
"No matter how tired I get, I won't back down."
"I will become a ninja!"
Looking at the girl's determined eyes, Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow. "Such rules won't exist anymore."
"Once Amegakure is rebuilt, its governance system will gradually align with that of the Shen Nation."
"In the Shen Nation, everyone is given a scroll to refine their chakra and develop spiritual power."
"As long as one has talent, anyone can become a ninja."
The girl's face lit up with excitement as she couldn't help but lift her head to ask, "Is that true, Lord Mirai?"
If what Lord Mirai said was true, then she would definitely become a ninja.
Mirai chuckled at the girl's reaction and softly said, "I wouldn't lie to someone like you."
Realizing her own rudeness, the girl quickly lowered herself to the ground again. "Please forgive me, Lord Mirai!"
Mirai sighed helplessly. "Didn't I already say you don't need to be so formal?"
"I only noticed you because you reminded me of a kid I once knew."
"You go on and continue with your work. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Mirai turned to leave.
However, the next moment, the girl ran to block his path, spreading her arms to stop him.
"Lord Mirai, what did you just say?"
Mirai looked puzzled but still casually replied, "Back during The Third Great Ninja World War, I once came to Amegakure."
"At that time, the village was struck by war, and many civilians were killed or injured."
"I saw a woman who had been starving on the roadside, so I gave her a Military Rations Pill to restore her energy."
"The baby she was holding had the same hair color as yours..."
After finishing his words, Mirai couldn't help sighing, "I wonder if that woman even survived."
The girl's breathing gradually became heavy. Confused, Mirai asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Without speaking, the girl drew a pattern on the ground with her finger, then nervously asked, "Lord Mirai, have you seen this symbol before?"
Seeing the symbol the girl drew, Mirai smiled slightly. "This is the crest of the Uchiha Clan."
As soon as he spoke, Mirai noticed the girl's eyes turning completely red.
With a loud thud, the girl dropped to her knees. "Lord, I've finally found you!"
"The woman you saved back then... was my mother!"
Upon hearing this, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised. "Is that so?"
After many years, he never expected to meet again with someone he had casually helped back then...
What a coincidence.
Thinking about it, Mirai Uchiha asked, "You called what name?"
The girl immediately replied, "My name is Hana, sir."
"Hana?"
Upon hearing this familiar name, Mirai Uchiha was momentarily taken aback.
In his memory, Hana was indeed a Ninja from Amegakure, and quite a beautiful Kunoichi at that.
In the original story, she was assigned an S-rank mission by Konan, and after her death, her corpse was used to create the Animal Path.
Before he traveled back in time, her appearance had left quite an impression.
But because she only played a minor role, he could no longer clearly recall many details.
From what he remembered, wasn't Hana supposed to have yellow hair?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to recognize the girl's identity for so long.
Never did he expect the girl he saved on a whim to actually be Hana.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha lost in thought, Hana grew anxious. "Sir Mirai, is something wrong?"
Mirai Uchiha snapped out of it and smiled. "Nothing. How's your mom holding up?"
At this question, Hana's expression darkened. "Mother... passed away."
