Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

As winter goes and spring comes, all things revive and the Land of New Rain is filled with vitality. In the vast fields, countless farmers carefully plant rice seedlings that symbolize hope, without feeling tired at all.

Uchiha Fugaku stretched himself, picked up the already cooled strong tea and took a big sip. Feeling the lingering sleepiness in his body, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sir, you should take a rest. You haven't slept for another night. Your body won't be able to bear it in the long run." Hinata Munezane put down the pen in his hand and advised.

"When I was on a mission on the battlefield before, I could stay awake for several nights in a harsh environment. After the mission was over, I only needed a good sleep to get rid of all the fatigue. Now that I am old, my back and waist ache after staying up all night, but I feel so energetic and difficult to fall asleep when I lie in bed. It's very strange."

"The burden of the New Rain Country is on your shoulders. How can you not be tired?"

Uchiha Fugaku stood up, stretched himself a little, and said, "You can't say that. The pressure that Hokage faces is much greater than mine. If we talk about tiredness, he is the most tired one."

Hinata Muneshi brought breakfast, which was still the usual porridge and buns, and said, "The Hokage-sama has become much more haggard. When I returned to the village to report on my work last month, he wiped his face with a towel more than ten times in just one hour. You can see how tired he is!"

"I've heard people in the village talking about how the Hokage has been using a shadow clone to work, but even so he's still exhausted. The workload is too intense!"

Uchiha Fugaku took a sip of the porridge, smelling the aroma of rice, and said, "There is a reason why the Shadow Clone Technique is listed as a forbidden technique. In fact, the clones created by this technique have a very high degree of independence. Everything the clones experience will be transmitted back to the original body when it is released. Naturally, the more you use it, the more tired you will become."

"Is there such a thing?" Hinata Munezane asked in surprise.

"Absolutely true!" Uchiha Fugaku tasted the porridge and said vaguely: "You are a ninja from the Hyuga clan. You are not good at escape techniques, so you don't know. Once the shadow clone technique is used excessively, it is very likely to cause the caster to suffer a mental breakdown!"

"More than a decade ago, many ninjas discovered that the Shadow Clone Technique was more effective than ever before, and began to abuse the use of clones in their practice. As a result, several ninjas became fools or lunatics on the spot. That's why the Second Hokage listed this technique as a forbidden technique, and only those with extremely strong minds are allowed to practice it."

"Hiss~" Hijiri Muneshi took a breath and asked worriedly, "Is Lord Hokage okay?"

"Don't worry about it." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile: "Yayama is a very sensible person, he will not do anything reckless, and his strength has long surpassed the limit of ninja and reached an inhuman level."

Uchiha Fugaku put down the bowl, touched his warm belly, grabbed the bun and took a bite, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What kind of filling is this bun? It tastes really delicious, I have never eaten it before."

"My fellow villagers sent it to me yesterday. They said it was fresh wild vegetables and perfect for making buns." Hinata Munezane replied.

"Not bad, not bad!" Uchiha Fugaku ate three big buns in one breath, burped and said, "Is Itachi awake yet? Give him two buns to try. He can't get this in the Konohagakure."

"Itachi-sama is doing his morning exercises. I've already sent him over."

"Hmm!" Uchiha Fugaku looked at his watch and said, "I'll sleep for two hours. Remember to wake me up. If you have any documents, put them aside. Let's go out for a walk today."

As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku opened the folding bed and lay down a little awkwardly. After just a few dozen seconds, he began to snore loudly.

Hinata Muneshi patted his head, the Deputy Hokage's sleep quality showed no signs of difficulty falling asleep...

Two hours later, Uchiha Fugaku was woken up. He opened his sleepy eyes and stared blankly for a few minutes. After his body was fully recovered, he got up and tidied up.

There were already ninjas waiting outside the door. When they saw the Deputy Hokage coming out, they all bowed and greeted him, including Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly, and when he saw his son, he came to him, ruffled his wet hair, and asked softly, "Have you finished your homework today?"

Uchiha Itachi was only four years old at the time, but he looked as mature as a teenager. He stared at his father and said, "It's done. Father should also pay more attention to rest. You have white hair now!"

"Help me pull it out."

Uchiha Itachi stretched out his hands and pulled his father's hair. He quickly pulled out a snow-white hair by the roots, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it. His expression became inexplicably depressed.

"What's wrong?" Uchiha Fugaku asked with a smile.

"Nothing." Uchiha Itachi shook his head and whispered, "I just feel sorry for father. Since coming to the New Rain Country, your sleep time has been reduced again and again, and your diet is irregular. It is inevitable that problems will arise over time."

Uchiha Fugaku laughed loudly upon hearing this, looked around and said: "Did you hear that? My son is concerned about my health!"

Hinata Muneshi smiled in agreement and said, "Itachi-sama is very talented and will surely continue the thousand-year glory of the Uchiha clan in the future!"

"No one can predict what will happen in the future, but Itachi is kind-hearted and may be able to continue implementing the new policies of the New Rain Country." Uchiha Fugaku smiled rarely. He usually looked serious.

After a while of chatting, Uchiha Fugaku looked at his watch, restrained his smile and said, "It's time, we should set off, hurry up, there are a lot of things to do today."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Fugaku was the second-in-command of the Konoha Village, so the scale of his trips was naturally not small. However, due to various factors, he abandoned a lot of red tape and kept his outings simple and fast every time. After all, the speed of a ninja was truly terrifying.

But today was different. Uchiha Fugaku's main purpose of going out was to inspect the construction of the cement road, which could also be considered as acceptance. Since the road construction policy was set in the winter, the large-scale construction in the New Rain Country has been going on for four months. The approximately 400-kilometer cement road from Futian Town to Xincang Town has been completed. This means that except for some places with dangerous terrain, the New Rain Country has entered a new road era.

In an open space, three huge gray tarpaulins were tightly wrapping something. Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, untied the ropes, pulled open the tarpaulins, revealing what was hidden inside.

This is a car with a rather strange shape. The wheels are not made of conventional wood, but rubber tires, which have excellent elasticity and give passengers a good travel experience. It abandons the traditional horse-drawn method and adopts chakra guidance. It is wrapped in hard steel and looks very bulky. Its appearance is very fashionable, like a box, with a whole piece of transparent glass in the front, and wipers are thoughtfully installed on the glass.

Uchiha Fugaku walked around and watched with great interest, occasionally reaching out to touch it, and exclaimed in amazement: "I really don't know what's wrong with Ye Shan's brain. He actually had the crazy idea of ​​ordering people to develop a new type of transportation, and he actually made it!"

Hinata Muneshi smiled and said, "Your Excellency may not know that the Hokage not only ordered the Ninjutsu Research Association to manufacture new means of transportation, but also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to research new agricultural production machinery. I heard that a batch of them will be put into use in the New Rain Country soon."

"I know this, but the new agricultural production machinery does not rely on chakra to drive, but uses coal for power. The disadvantage is that it is large in size and inconvenient to use in the muddy New Rain Country."

Uchiha Fugaku checked it out, opened the door and got in. The first thing that caught his eye was a round steering wheel. There was a groove on the right side of the steering wheel, which was where the user input chakra. The basic facilities such as the instrument panel, gear lever, accelerator and brake were all available, and it even had a radio communicator.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you've got to say, this shape and this function are really novel! I've lived for almost thirty years, what good things have I not seen? Today is like a knife stabbing my butt - I've opened my eyes!"

A 40-year-old ninja wearing glasses came forward, smiled at Uchiha Fugaku, and then said, "Good morning, Vice Hokage. I am Yura from the Ninjutsu Research Association. I am here on the orders of the Hokage to transfer the vehicle and provide technical guidance."

"Oh? You are a professional technology research and development ninja. I have seen your name in the documents of the Hokage-sama. He praised you highly. Now I see that you are indeed a talented person."

The current Konoha Village attaches great importance to scientific and technological research and development talents and provides them with many benefits, so Uchiha Fugaku was quite polite to the visitor.

"Vice-Hokage, you are joking. These are just insignificant achievements achieved under the correct guidance of Hokage. How dare I take credit for them?"

"Your last name is Yamanaka, right? If I remember correctly."

"Exactly!" Yamanaka Yura smiled and said, "I am currently working in the Third Development Team of the Ninjutsu Research Association, mainly responsible for researching new means of transportation. This vehicle, called a car, is the latest research result of our team. Please review it."

"what should I do?"

"Do you see this groove? You only need to input chakra to start the vehicle."

Uchiha Fugaku did as he was told. As the chakra was input, the vehicle shook slightly and the dashboard lit up. This was very novel to him, as if he had found a new toy. He asked impatiently, "What should I do next?"

"Press the brake button and tap the accelerator."

The huge steel beast slowly started up under the control of Uchiha Fugaku, then ran a few dozen meters on the road, then suddenly shuddered and stalled...

Yamanaka Miura caught up and said, "You can't let go of your right hand while the vehicle is moving. You have to keep one hand pressed on the groove to provide chakra, otherwise the vehicle will quickly lose power and stop."

In less than half an hour, Uchiha Fugaku mastered the driving skills. After getting out of the car, he lit a cigarette and said slowly: "A great country's heavy weapon will benefit the country and the people!"

"You all go up and try it out. The car developed by the village is simply amazing!"

The ninjas, who had been unable to wait any longer, rushed forward, each of them so excited that they didn't know what to do.

"Father," Uchiha Itachi frowned and stepped forward and asked, "The car is indeed new, but is it really worthy of being a great national weapon?"

Uchiha Fugaku Meimei took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Tell me what you think."

"Yes!" Uchiha Itachi was not timid and said bluntly: "Hokage has repeatedly emphasized that agriculture is the foundation of a country. Now the spring plowing in the New Rain Country is in full swing. For this reason, we have also sent a team of experts to guide the team in order to ensure a good harvest of grain."

"Cars appear to be very advanced, but they won't be used in agricultural production for a while. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Jongshi! Come here and answer this question."

Hinata Muneshi trotted over and said with a smile, "Master Itachi, you don't know that our ultimate goal is to build a new rain country with advanced technology and a prosperous people. Ensuring spring ploughing is only the beginning. For a long time to come, our main focus will still be on how to improve productivity!"

"What is productivity? Lord Hokage once said that talent is the primary productivity, and production technology is the primary productivity! Traditional farming methods cannot meet the needs of the people of the New Rain Country. We should make good use of the most powerful weapons to open up a new path for them!"

"The most powerful weapon?"

"That's right!" Hinata Muneshi answered, "The special thing about ninjas is that they use chakra to fight, but can chakra be used in other aspects? These cars in front of us give the best answer!"

"The power of cars relies on chakra. This is the first time in the history of the world! That's why the Deputy Hokage said that they are the most powerful weapons of the great country."

Uchiha Fugaku touched his son's face and said with a smile: "What Munshi said is absolutely correct. Chakra has always been collectively monopolized by ninjas. Ordinary people have absolutely no right to touch it. What Hokage has to do is to popularize chakra and then improve the production and living methods of the entire ninja world!"

"Thousands of years later, when people look through history books, no matter how reluctant they are, they will regard the birth of the car as the new starting point of a new era!"

Uchiha Itachi asked in confusion: "Since it relies on chakra to drive, why is it not called a chakra car? Why is it called a car instead?"

The smile on Uchiha Fugaku's face froze. He wrote to Ye Shan several times, suggesting not to call a car, but Ye Shan didn't listen at all!

How could he know that the reason why Ye Shan named chakra after cars was all because of the soul of the previous life. Perhaps in the near future, Audi, BMW, and BYD cars will appear in Konoha Village...

Anyway, after reaching an agreement with the old party, Ye Shan, the helmsman of the Konohagakure, completely let himself go. He named the seven provinces of the new Rain Country Shannan, Shanbei, Henan, Hexi and other non-mainstream names, and even named the official document system with the word "wood" and "issued with a certain number"...

A large number of names full of mysterious oriental atmosphere came out. Ye Shan, with his own efforts, changed the bad habit of giving simple and straightforward names that had lasted for thousands of years.

"This is the name chosen by the Hokage himself. I don't know why, but it's right to call it Automobile." After holding it in for a long time, Uchiha Fugaku said dryly.

After a meal, the ninjas present had basically mastered the driving skills under the guidance of Yamanaka Miyoshi, and they almost drove the car into the ditch several times.

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand with interest and said loudly: "Everyone get in the car, today we will drive the car to inspect the cement road!"

The prologue to a new era has thus begun, starting with a new type of transportation that people find difficult to accept.
