I am the First Hokage!

The Fourth Kazekage's whereabouts were unknown, and Gaara, as a Jinchuriki, was also missing.

However, Lin Ke knew about Temari and Kankuro—

Because these two were arranged to live in the Ninja Apartment, making them his neighbors. Meeting them was as easy as pie.

Speaking of which, the rooms in the Ninja Apartment are too small, lacking even a dedicated training room. Should I consider taking out a loan to buy an apartment?

He suddenly thought of this question.

For some reason, the Naruto World had this peculiar reality element of buying a house with a loan. As the youngest Special Jonin, almost no one could break his promotion speed, so his loan amount would be quite high.

Buying an apartment in a prime location like Uzumaki Naruto, near the village center and next to the Ninja Academy, was impossible. But buying an apartment in a slightly better location, not so remote that he had to run a long way to the village center every time, shouldn't be a problem, right?

But during Pain's attack on the village...

Maybe I should just rent a place.

After careful consideration, and recalling the loan interest rates for large houses, Lin Ke, considering his wallet that hadn't seen a mission in a long time, decided to take some time to list the small apartment his old man left him and sell it, then rent an apartment closer to the village center.

He didn't need several rooms, but at least a training room, instead of eating, living, and training all in one room. Sometimes it really felt a bit cramped.

His house was now piled with a large number of scrolls and several boxes of Tailed Beast Chakra cubes, making it awkward to even move around.

Maki had no idea that the little brat he had just traded with had his thoughts drifting so far away, his expression heavy as he looked at the distant sky.

After the Sand Ninja Village's plan failed, they were destined not to be able to interact with their allied country, Konoha, on a relatively equal footing, making the future quite worrying.

He still had some spy contacts, intelligence, and some political legacy that he hadn't transferred before his death, which was a bit too hasty. To prevent information leakage, he directly destroyed his brain tissue. Now, having the opportunity to pass it on was a good thing.

Moreover, this Konoha brat's Summoning Jutsu was truly powerful, crossing the boundary between life and death, summoning the dead without paying any price.

Given that it was impossible to kill the other party and the Sand Ninja Village was so weak, it was better to make an investment in advance...

Those involved in politics all had a heart with eight eyes. Although Maki was a ninja, he was, after all, the Fourth Kazekage's right-hand man, so it was difficult not to think too much.

"Lin Ke, Mom said she wants to talk to you." Uchiha Sasuke walked over, his face rosy, his heart, which had been closed off for many years under negative emotions, gradually opening.

With the boundary between life and death blurred, he was quickly adapting to the new worldview.

Hatred, sadness, and pain were all dissipating under the nourishment of his regained parents, and he accepted the fact that as long as he stayed with his companions, he could see his parents again.

Lin Ke walked over, saw Uchiha Mikoto's strange gaze, and explained first, "I disguised myself as Sasuke to contact you, Auntie."

"Thank you."

Uchiha Mikoto smiled gently, "Thank you for taking care of Sasuke."

Lin Ke met her eyes and smiled, "It's okay, we're comrades."

Uchiha Sasuke followed behind, hearing this, his face full of relaxed joy, his eyes never leaving his mother's face.

Compared to his father, who always had a stern face when he was young, he was indeed more attached to his mother.

"In any case, if you need us in the future, whether it's for battle or anything..." Uchiha Mikoto glanced at her husband and said, "Please don't hesitate to ask us."

You're too kind, Lin Ke thought in his heart, but he was definitely being polite to them.

Uchiha Mikoto touched her son's head and said some more words of concern. As the Rashomon was about to end, she hugged Sasuke and said, "I'm sorry about Itachi..."

The hands in the Rashomon flew out, grabbing the Uchiha couple and Maki back.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the embrace that had just been there turn into air, a little dazed, then came back to his senses, "Lin Ke..." He looked at his companion's eyes, a little at a loss.

Like Naruto for a while, he didn't know how to express his inner emotions at all.

"Go train." Lin Ke patted his shoulder, turned around, and continued to practice Ninjutsu—

Using Uchiha Sasuke's name to trick Uchiha Mikoto into coming gave him a great inspiration.

That kind of spiritual influence and connection allowed him to better find the relevant people, but he didn't necessarily have to rely on this thing alone.

Anyway, the Summoning Jutsu could directly contact the Pure Land, so he could use other "identities" to trick some specific souls out.

Extract Chakra, form hand seals, release, Summoning Jutsu—

*I am the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!*

"Liar!" Nawaki couldn't help but say. This kid had been listening to him say he was Uchiha Sasuke for so long, and now he was claiming to be the First Hokage. He finally couldn't take it anymore.

"This shameless Konoha brat really has the nerve to say that!" An unknown soul mocked coldly.

Then, one after another, voices were captured by his Summoning Jutsu.

"I am the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!"

"I am the Sage of Six Paths! Hahahaha!"

Well, the Summoning Jutsu had fished up too many souls, which wasn't necessarily a good thing. Once a broad-area call without a specific target was made, this kind of situation would occur. Every soul thought they were receiving the message and replying to the boastful person.

In reality, everyone was chiming in at once, causing him to feel a little dizzy.

"Ah, Lin Ke is good in every way, why can't he be a little more honest... Ah, sorry." This was Uchiha Mikoto, whose thoughts were unintentionally captured by the Summoning Jutsu. Realizing her inner voice had been transmitted, she immediately clammed up.

"A bunch of idiots."

Lin Ke didn't bother with those mocking him. They were all ninjas from other villages who were unwilling to reveal their identities or communicate, making them useless to him.

After broadcasting "I am the First Hokage" two more times, he switched to "I am Nagato" and broadcast that several times.

It would be great if he could fish up Yahiko too.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be quite a few people named Nagato. When he broadcast the name, those who contacted him were mostly complete strangers, and the Nagato they mentioned was completely different from the Rinnegan Nagato in his memory.

At first, Lin Ke was a bit clumsy with the Pure Land scam, but after practicing a few times, he quickly got into the swing of things. He self-taught himself to add a little information after his introduction.

For example, "I am the First Hokage, Konoha Village is facing a crisis," and so on.

Some souls did take the bait and communicated with him, but the Summoning Jutsu had one major flaw: after accepting his call, neither side could hide basic information. When they discovered he was lying, they quickly blacklisted him.
