No human trials are allowed!

Orochimaru replied calmly.

"Back then, the Wood Release experiments kept failing, so Danzo came up with another method, which was to use the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation to revive the First Hokage when the Nine-Tails went berserk. I mastered this technique in that experiment. Later, with Danzo's death, this experiment was completely abandoned, and I never thought of continuing to develop this technique."

He paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

"This time it was just an accident."

I infiltrated the dark organization to gather intelligence, but the leader saw through my scheme and turned the tables on me, controlling me with this strange scientific device, which led to my current situation.

Ugh!

"You really can't deny getting old."

Uchiha Miyuki didn't believe a word Orochimaru said, and simply stared at Orochimaru with a calm expression.

Orochimaru felt uneasy under Orochimaru's gaze, and after a moment he nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, let's just cancel the Impure World Reincarnation."

Orochimaru nodded, letting out a long sigh of relief, and quickly formed hand seals—

[Impure World Reincarnation Release]

The souls reborn from the filth world gradually transformed into specks of light, disappearing little by little before the living.

Orochimaru watched this scene with a blank expression.

In fact, he could have kept it completely hidden and controlled the Impure World Reincarnation technique himself.

The reason for exposing this was to test whether he could kill Uchiha Miyuki by using a powerful reanimated ninja.

On the surface, there was no real conflict between him and Uchiha Miyuki. In reality, he had realized long ago that Uchiha Miyuki knew about his research into forbidden techniques in the laboratory he had built while traveling outside the village, and he was also very clear about Uchiha Miyuki's attitude towards this matter.

At the same time, revealing the Impure World Reincarnation was also a test to see just how strong Uchiha Miyuki was, and whether he could survive if he defected.

……

With the destruction of the dark organization, the resurrected souls returned to the Pure Land, and all the living returned to their respective villages.

News of Uchiha Miyuki's achievements in this battle spread to all the villages, and all the Anbu present gave him the same assessment—

The current Hokage possesses unfathomable strength and is invincible.

There had been some minor frictions between the villages, but at this moment the ninja world was completely calm. However, beneath this calm, an undercurrent was lurking.

That was the four great villages secretly discussing how to counterbalance Uchiha Miyuki's terrifying strength.

The current situation is similar to that when Konoha was first founded, and the ninja world was under the rule of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

The figures that enveloped the entire ninja world changed from Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha to—

Uchiha Miyuki alone.

The current structure and order of the ninja world have undergone earth-shattering changes.

While the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage were having an in-depth discussion about this issue.

Mei Terumi, the bodyguard of the Sixth Mizukage—no… the Fifth Mizukage—was somewhat distracted, pondering another question.

Why is it that among the reanimated souls, all the Kage from the five great nations who died in previous generations were resurrected without exception, except for the Fifth Mizukage?

After her last video conversation with Uchiha Miyuki, she pondered for a long time before realizing that the source of the familiar feeling she had for him was his eyes and mannerisms, which were almost identical to hers. This led to an inexplicable thought in her mind.

Uchiha Gyuki is Hozuki Suigetsu!

That's why she's so sensitive to information related to the Fifth Mizukage, Hozuki Mizuki, and she's now eager to know the answer.

As the Four Kage meeting temporarily ended, Mei Terumi stood up from the second desk in the Mizukage's office. She glanced at the desk as usual, but the familiar figure was no longer on the recliner that seemed out of place there. After a moment of silence, she went to the office window and looked out at the bustling village. She then spoke to Chojuro beside her.

"I go out for a while."

Chojuro didn't think much of it, assuming that Terumi Mei was going to the cemetery to visit the Fifth Mizukage, Hozuki Mizuki, as usual, so he casually agreed.

"Ah."

Mei Terumi did not voice her suspicions or offer any further explanation before getting up and leaving the Mizukage Building.

Secretly blending into the merchants, Mei Terumi, who used to travel from the Land of Water to the Land of Fire, found that the journey had been shortened by at least a month, or even longer. Now, with advancements in technology, this time has been reduced tenfold. She arrived in the Land of Fire by ferry in just three days. Looking at the bustling port, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"The Land of Fire is truly prosperous."

Mei Terumi did not register with customs, so she had to sneak onto the train to Konoha.

In just one week, he covered the distance that took Uchiha Miyuki several months to complete.

Compared to the current size of Konoha, the former 'Hidden Leaf Village' has become a district. Mei Terumi can move around easily in other areas, but entering the 'Konoha' territory is not an easy task, because 'Konoha' has become a region similar to a military district with strict defenses.

However, Mei Terumi did not intend to sneak in, but instead came openly to the 'Konoha Gate'.

"I want to see your Hokage."

Upon seeing Mei Terumi's appearance, the ninja guarding the gate's pupils constricted sharply. As a ninja, how could he not know the appearances of the Five Kage?

"You are... the Sixth Mizukage!?"

"I am not the Sixth Mizukage, but the Fifth Mizukage's bodyguard."

Recovering from his surprise, the ninja guarding the gate immediately called out to his companion.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them right away."

Mei Terumi nodded.

……

While Uchiha Miyuki was yawning in the Hokage's office, bored and pondering whether to take a nap or find a way to embezzle money, a ninja rushed in.

"Lord Hokage, the Mizukage has come to Konoha and wishes to meet with you."

Although Mei Terumi was unwilling to admit it, everyone outside regarded her as the Sixth Mizukage.

Uchiha Miyuki immediately became alert, and his head started to ache.

No way!?

How did she, a water kage, suddenly end up in Konoha?

I must not be fully awake.

Seeing that Uchiha Miyuki remained silent for a long time, the gatekeeper asked him in confusion.

"Lord Hokage??"

P.S.: I had already made up my mind to finish it =_=

The editor, however, wanted me to write a million words, get it featured on the big bookshelf, and then finish it.

This has put me in a dilemma again.

Actually, I've always been quite concerned that this book wasn't placed on the main bookshelf.

As for my previous ID...

I've abandoned several original novels, but I've finished writing the fanfiction. If you'd like to read them, just search for them:

War Dominator

300. No wonder you were so skilled back then.

"Ah...oh—"

Uchiha Miyuki did not hesitate because he suspected it was a dream, and replied directly.

"Have the Fourth Hokage meet with me; I have something very important to attend to."

The gatekeeper immediately nodded with an expression of admiration.

"Yes."

As for Uchiha Miyuki yawning just now?

That's clearly because Uchiha Miyuki was too tired from handling official business and hadn't rested well, which is why he was yawning.

After all, he's the Hokage, how could he possibly be idle all day long!

Not long after the gatekeeper left, another member of the Anbu entered the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, the Mizukage has something important to discuss with you in person."

"I have other matters to attend to. Whatever the Mizukage may have to do, I entrust it entirely to the Fourth Hokage."

"Yes."

Not long after the Anbu left, the visitor this time was Minato Namikaze.

"She will only speak after seeing you in person."

"I can't see her."

After a pause, Uchiha Miyuki added, "I had some interactions with her when I was infiltrating Kirigakure back then."

Minato Namikaze's expression immediately turned ambiguous, and he couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Is it just some social interaction?"

"There is some interaction."

Minato Namikaze responded with a sudden realization.

"Then this matter is a bit troublesome."

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask again out of curiosity.

"Actually, I've always been curious about your identity back in Kirigakure!"

When the plan was being devised, the Konoha leadership had not yet fallen. Therefore, in order to prevent the Konoha leadership from hindering the plan, Uchiha Miyuki kept passing on information that was half true and half false to them. Furthermore, when implementing the entire "Parasite" plan, he used members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, and both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans only had partial information.

The truth is basically known only to Uchiha Miyuki and Uchiha Fugaku.

That is why Minato Namikaze only knew that Miyuki Uchiha had infiltrated Kirigakure for a period of time, but did not know the specific identity that Miyuki used when he infiltrated Kirigakure.

"The Fifth Mizukage".

Minato Namikaze was so shocked by what he heard that he almost choked on his own saliva. It took him a long time to come to his senses.
