In Naruto: Reborn with Talent

There were naturally a few problems with the Kaguya clan members when they woke up.

The sixty women did their best to persuade the older teenage girls to be co-operative while calming down the kids. Unfortunately, twenty of the most crazed ones had to have their memories adjusted and were promptly dumped back into the Kaguya Village the following night, with their last memory being going to sleep two days ago. Uzushio didn't need crazed Kaguya-style gangbang loving masochistic fanatics. ​​

Not like they could reveal what they experienced even if their memories somehow restored themselves. The Secrecy Seals were already in place the second they used the portal.

The kids were trickier though. These couldn't just be discarded because they could still be raised to accept their situation. Temper tantrums were a common sight that day. Thankfully, the Kaguya clan tempered their kids with some tough, steely love with the appearance of a cane so crying was not a habit the Kaguya children had.

Rei decided to follow a simple rule. Desperate times, call for a desperate solution... he showered the kids in modern board or card games while offering them candy and chocolate. In short, he used honeytrap!

And it worked spectacularly...

'As expected of me... cough, cough.' Rei smugly thought about his achievements while giving the disbelieving Tsunade and Konan a meaningful look. 'Ha! Superpowers or not, kids will be kids! Just look at Ophis!'

In the end, the number of the Kaguya clansmen who accepted their situation was 272. Most of these were women and the males were only kids under 5 years old. This was because of the Kaguya customs which clearly stated any boy aged 5 or above had to start the clan training... which usually started with a bucket load of brainwashing to be loyal to their clan first and foremost to the point of sacrificing their lives for it. Alas, these kids simply were just not worth the effort in Rei's eyes.

But Rei was patient and he could wait a decade or so for his Kaguya clan members to grow. No pressure… Especially the lil' crying bundle that was stolen from the house of the Kaguya clan head... little Kimimaro.

Uzushio now had two clans. Uzumaki and Kaguya. For now, both lived in the same compound, which was quite intentionally done by Rei so these people could grow closer to each other. Rei would not suffer internal clan disputes in his own village! Being at odds in certain situations was fine... but if he could make them understand and help each other, teach them how to work together instead of against each other from the start, Rei would try his damnedest to do so. This also came with the added benefit of Uzumaki teaching Kaguya kids their ways. Whether they were about the love for their family or… the reverence they had for Rei.

'Maybe I should stop copying Orochimaru…' Rei thought about the prospects of having the Kaguya kids grow up into his fanatics due to the care of the ever-so-loyal Uzumaki. 'Then again… maybe not. After all, Orochimaru was the favorite pupil of Sarutobi. He knows his stuff when it comes to manipulating impressionable children.'

Surprisingly, the Uzumaki clan members were steadily learning and developing their sealing arts. For now, it was nothing extraordinary but they could ease up the time of Rei's clones that had to keep up with creating the supply of goods for the Biri-Biri company so Rei could delegate more research work to these while paying the Uzumaki sealers a commission for making the seals in his stead.

The other thing the Uzumaki clan and even some civilians showed an interest in was forging. And for forging, they needed metal.

Simply said, Rei decided to start hiring miners and reopen the chakra metal and iron ore mine near Uzushio. The Uzushiogakure of old was the main supplier of chakra metal in the world and the mines were far from depleted.

Naturally, like with farmers, Rei made sure the miners had an easier job than normal. Instead of carts, there were storage scrolls, The pickaxes were all enhanced with seals and had a special feature of adding weight to every swing. The miners didn't even have to be that strong for these pickaxes to be effective. Honestly, Rei could make some automated mining factory with seals and his rock clones but this was a good way to broaden the number of jobs in the village.

Just like that, the storage houses in the village that previously contained only crops now started to be filled with storage scrolls containing a whole lot of chakra metal, iron, gold, silver, and more. The future Uzushio Trading Company gained their first saleable commodity.

The next thing Rei put the effort into were docks. Creating ships was not hard since Rei, Tsunade, Konan, or even their clones could do so without any hassle with just a few hours a day and a bit of effort put into Mokuton shaping.

Considering Uzushio was an island nation, ships were important and Rei made sure to put Mokuton and Sealing Arts together to create floating fortresses when it came to both defense and offense. The best part in Rei's opinion, however, was the natural camouflaging seals all over the hull that could make the ship invisible unless in close proximity. After all, why fight with pirates when you could show them the middle finger without them even noticing?

The last part Rei needed was capable sailors but that was quickly solved by secretly sending some capable men and women to the branch of the Biri-Biri company that focused on naval trade where they would learn under the supervision of an experienced captain. Rei could almost see how a year later they would return, and Uzushio would gain their very own trading fleet!

'Just a year more and Uzushio Trading Company can start operating!' Rei smiled in content. Yes… the fleet was the last thing Uzushio required before rejoining the world stage.

And while Rei was doing all this, Tsunade was training carefully selected people in medical ninjutsu and knowledge needed for doctors. Thanks to the Secrecy Seals that improved the physique of the residents, nobody got ill for months now so the hospital was not really needed. Only when a woman got pregnant she approached Tsunade's clone for a check-up and there were even a few births, such as the young Karin Uzumaki, on whom Tsunade instantly called dibs and the girl's future in the medical field became sealed, but apart from that, medics were not needed yet.

Unfortunately, Tsunade was irked that she was the only one capable of doing these things so she gathered her own pupils from those with exceptional chakra control and started their hellish fast-track training.

Rei could only pity them... poor bruised saps.

Konan, on the other hand, focused on creating a library. Naturally, there were no ninja arts but the size was five times the library of a Daimyo from a major nation. Any notable piece of paper that could enrich the knowledge of the residents, Konan gathered and put in there. She also made sure to hire five librarians who took care of the place since she could not do so while creating the paperwork system of the village.

Naturally, the village could not be without its leader. For now, that position was filled with Rei but he knew Konan was already grooming Kaya Uzumaki for the position. Thankfully, there was no real resistance to that from the Uzumaki clan. Even the twenty members who came from the Biri-Biri company didn't utter a single complaint.

But while Rei could manage tons of paperwork with his clones, Kaya would be hopelessly outclassed. That's why Konan was creating a hierarchy and putting together a government system not much different from what was used for the Biri-Biri company, only on a more concentrated scale. Basically, the leader would deal only with the most important stuff pertaining to the well-being of the village and its development while under the leader, numerous heads of various departments would have their own paperwork and so on and on...

Well, Konan had it all thought out so Rei didn't care much about it.

The Uzushio was slowly becoming more and more lively, especially since the people started to invent their own things or ways to earn money like the shrewd merchants they were educated to be.

Just a few months passed since the establishment of Uzushio and yet, the place was already starting to thrive.
