"Is this Jin-sama's hometown?"
"It feels... unexpectedly ordinary."
"By the way, Jin-chan, are your parents here? I'm so nervous."
At the main gate of Konoha Village.
Facing this village, which should still be considered the strongest village in the Ninja World, the women brought by Jin from other worlds, like Shirahoshi, Nami, and Hancock, voiced their opinions.
How to put it?
At least compared to the imaginative architecture of the One Piece World, or the days spent in Totto Land, the village before them did seem rather plain and unremarkable.
"Wow! What is that? So, so big?"
"Her, her tail! A, a mermaid?"
"So, so beautiful, truly too beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful person in the world?"
"Is that... [Flame Emperor] Uchiha Jin-sama? I heard he went traveling. Has he finally returned?"
"Wow, who is that beauty in the cheongsam next to him? Oh my heavens... too beautiful!"
"So, so tall, so big... heavens, what did she eat to grow like that?"
"You bastard! You dare look at Uchiha Jin's woman? Wipe that drool off your mouth!"
"Is it that serious? Looking isn't illegal..."
Shirahoshi's size was an extremely eye-catching presence in any world.
Coupled with her peerless beauty, it went without saying.
Less than half a minute after Jin's group returned, they attracted a large number of villagers.
"Ji, Jin-sama... they're all looking at me..."
Shirahoshi covered her face with her hands, burying her head like an ostrich, and whispered to Jin.
"It's fine, it's praise for you. You can hold your head high and accept it."
Jin reached out and patted Shirahoshi's lowered forehead.
'Damn, later I'd go ask Akimichi Choza if someone not from the Akimichi Clan could learn the Multi-Size Technique.'
'Such a cute mermaid princess, how could I bear to let her live as a widow?'
Jin gave a few instructions to the loli trio, who were the local hosts, telling them to take Hancock and the others to the Uchiha Clan's compound.
Then he hurried straight to the Senju Clan's compound.
The passing of Mito, the stabilizing pillar of the Senju Clan, basically signaled that the glory of the Senju Clan was gone for good.
And more importantly, he needed to comfort Tsunade, whom he hadn't seen for half a year.
...
Sure enough.
When Jin arrived at the Senju Clan's compound, it was already draped with black mourning streamers.
When they saw Jin return, the Senju Clan's members in black mourning clothes and the Konoha's Ninjas who had come to attend the memorial service were about to greet him, but they saw Jin quickly pass by them.
Soon, Jin saw Tsunade in the main hall where the coffin was placed.
She was kneeling before the coffin, dressed in a black mourning kimono.
"Tsunade, I'm back..."
Jin bent down, gently stroking Tsunade's back to comfort her.
Tsunade, who had been bowing her head with hands clasped, visibly trembled.
She raised her head, looking at Jin with disbelief.
A few seconds later, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Jin proactively pulled her into an embrace, stroking her light golden hair.
Tsunade wasn't the type of woman who was good at expressing emotions.
Her personality was the complete opposite of Hancock's, who wore her heart on her sleeve.
Just like in the original work when she learned Jiraiya died in Amegakure, she held strong for a whole day.
Only when no one was around did she finally shed tears of regret.
This time, Tsunade also couldn't hold back anymore.
Her parents and younger brother died on the battlefield in the Second Great Ninja War-
Now her grandmother was gone too.
She had no relatives left.
Only this little brat, Jin, was left to lend her a shoulder to lean on.
The other Senju Clan's members and mourning Ninjas in the hall tactfully left.
Barring any surprises, in a few hours, they would hear that Jin, who had been away for half a year, had brought back several stunning beauties.
...
"Has the Nine-Tails already been transferred to Kushina?"
After Tsunade's emotions gradually stabilized, Jin softly asked about what had happened during his absence.
Tsunade nodded, but her eyes were still red as she said:
"Grandma could have held on for a few more years, but she insisted on completing the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki transfer while she still had strength left. You know, once a Jinchuriki loses their Tailed Beast..."
As she spoke, golden teardrops began to fall from her eyes again.
"She was a martyr who devoted herself entirely to the village."
Jin praised.
Meanwhile, the Chat Group of the Dead was also lively.
[Mito: I thought Jin-kun awakened the Mangekyo because he was stimulated by his parents dying in battle. I didn't expect it was you who gave it to him, Izuna.]
[Izuna: To be honest, I quite admire you. As Hashirama's wife, you actually put up with Tobirama's four useless disciples for so long. If it were me, I'd have chopped them up long ago.]
[Mito: Sigh, I watched those children grow up. Who would have thought... sigh...]
[Hashirama: @Mito, Mito, don't blame yourself. You've done well enough.]
[Izuna: Right, the blame can only fall on that mediocre teacher, Tobirama. What kind of rubbish did he take as disciples?]
To insult Tobirama, Izuna even sided with Hashirama.
[Tobirama: @Izuna, I'd like to ask what kind of things your Uchiha Clan are, especially that little brat Jin! He clearly has Tsunade, yet he still tangled with so many women.]
…
"Don't worry, Grandma Mito will watch over you in that world."
Jin released Tsunade from the embrace and got to the main point:
"Now let's talk business."
Tsunade glared at him with a murderous expression, "Are you looking for death? This is Grandma's memorial hall!"
Jin: "..."
After a few minutes of silence, Jin said with a complex expression:
"What are you thinking? The business I'm talking about is arranging for you to become the Fourth Hokage."
Tsunade's face instantly turned bright red.
But she should blame this little pervert Jin.
Every time he wanted to mess with her, he would say, 'Come on, let's get down to business'.
So it had conditioned a reflex in her.
"You want to stage a coup? I don't think it's the right time. After all, that old monkey Sarutobi is still very good at winning people's hearts. Moreover, he doesn't have any obvious weaknesses to exploit now..."
After quickly adjusting her emotions, Tsunade frowned, her beautiful brows knitting together.
Coups weren't something you could just stage whenever you wanted.
The right timing, location, and people were all indispensable.
Just like in the original work, after the Nine-Tails Attack, the Uchiha Clan had been planning a coup to seize power.
For years, they didn't dare to act.
The mysterious death of Shisui alone delayed the plan for a full two years.
In the end, they were fatally betrayed by that filial son, Itachi, leading to the clan's destruction.
Speaking of which, Uchiha Fugaku was also a heavyweight.
After all, if he himself is willing to die by his son's hand, that's his own business.
But taking the entire clan with him? What kind of logic is that?
Even if he had ordered the clan to disband and flee, people would have considered that you tried.
He seek death himself, but won't let others live, is that it?
"Why all the fancy tricks? Just take it directly."
After his trip to the One Piece World, Jin's methods had become more direct and brutal.
Tsunade hadn't been very interested in the Hokage's position before.
But after seeing more and more brain-dead operations from the Konoha Council, she also felt that if she didn't take action, the village left by her grandfather and granduncle would be completely ruined by those four old maggots.
A coup was a big deal… it had to be discussed slowly.
However, the impression Jin gave Tsunade now was that after going out, his way of doing things was becoming more and more bandit-like.
Screw the details, just grab it directly.
'What had he been doing all these months?'
...
Just as Jin predicted, in less than two hours, the news of him bringing several peerless beauties back in glory had spread throughout Konoha Village.
This included an oversized mermaid over ten meters long.
Although the Uchiha Clan's deterrence was strong, many villagers still loitered around the entrance of the Uchiha Clan's compound, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mermaid.
It was said that this mermaid was not only huge, but also possessed peerless beauty.
"Hmph! No matter how beautiful, she definitely can't compare to Rin."
Hearing the related rumors, a certain simp said disdainfully.
Next to him, Guy blinked twice.
'Why does it sound like Rin is your girlfriend?'
Seeing his backyard almost bursting from the crowd trying to see Shirahoshi, Jin mercilessly smashed the wall to pieces, ordered his subordinates to expand the garden, and dig a huge artificial lake for Shirahoshi's use.
"This... Jin-sama, our Uchiha Clan's compound isn't that big."
Hearing Rin's request, a construction worker from the Uchiha Clan said with a troubled expression.
Not all Uchiha Clan's members were Ninjas.
In a clan, having thirty percent as Ninjas was pretty good.
Even for a great Ninja Clan like the Uchiha Clan, it was only around forty percent.
It had to be said, in the future Uchiha Massacre, a large portion of the civilian Uchiha were innocent.
They were just living peacefully, and then got killed by that filial son.
It's so unjust.
"It's fine. The Sarutobi and Shimura Clans will cease to exist soon anyway."
Jin said calmly.
Hearing this, the clansmen around him showed expressions of sheer horror.
'Uh... is that something you can say out loud?'
"Map."
Jin called out.
Tekka, who had been Jin's classmate, quickly presented a map of Konoha.
Jin picked up a brush, drew a big circle around a prime location in the center of Konoha, and instructed:
"Clear this area, build a new building, and there has to be a larger artificial lake. Then..."
Seeing the location Jin circled, the surrounding clansmen swallowed their saliva in fear once again.
Because this location was precisely the Sarutobi Clan's compound!
