Naruto's Journey to Training

After the rain, the sky cleared up. The winter sun in the sky shone on the dripping puddles, casting colorful rays of light, and the turbid air welcomed natural clarity.

After leaving the council hall, each Uchiha was in high spirits. It seemed that the Uchiha did not gain much benefit from the entire meeting.

But throughout the whole process, he gained a lot of benefits from invisibility, not to mention that the Konoha ninjas' impression of the Uchiha people had greatly improved.

And through this incident, the prestige of the Uchiha clan was established. For example, the power of the Guard Department was expanded. This alone made Fugaku and other Uchiha clan members after Hanyu very excited.

"Chief, what are your plans for expanding the guard department next?" Uchiha Lieyang asked excitedly.

Yu Weiwei pondered for a moment, "Next, I believe that a large number of ninjas will join our Guard Department. As the power center led by the Uchiha clan, we must show the magnanimity of our Uchiha clan. Except for the position of branch chief, the rest can be given to other ninja clans in Konoha to compete fairly."

"Will the tribesmen be dissatisfied if the clan leader does this?" Hetian, who was standing next to Yu, couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think our clan is still short of means of livelihood?" Yu asked back.

Wada lowered his head and thought about it. It seemed that there was really no need for the tribe to compete for positions in the guard department. Now each store needed a lot of sales staff. Both ninjas and ordinary tribesmen had many ways to make a living.

Thinking of this, Hetian shook his head, but his heart was still full of doubts. He didn't understand why the patriarch wanted to give up these important positions in the guard department.

At this time, Fugaku behind him spoke up, "Yu, the Guard Department belongs to me, Uchiha."

"Father, don't be so short-sighted. I'm only opening up positions in the branch, and these positions will be of great use to us Uchiha in the future!" Yu explained patiently.

"Why is that?" Fugaku asked in confusion.

"Through this incident, I believe that all the ninja clans in Konoha can understand that the Guard Department has enormous power. The opening of positions below the minister is to win over the ninja clans who are willing to be friendly with our Uchiha clan, and secondly, to cultivate our own political power."

When he said this, Yu paused. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Yu couldn't help but smile.

"In the future, it will definitely not be possible for the Uchiha to run for the position of Hokage by ourselves, so we must cultivate our own power and open up a large number of branch positions. This is the best opportunity for the Uchiha to build a power."

"I plan to further subdivide the Security Department. In addition to the existing police offices, criminal investigation teams, and the Legal Department, I plan to further subdivide the ranks of police officers."

"In the future, no matter what kind of police officer they are, they will be divided into the following levels: first-level police officer, second-level police officer, third-level police officer, elite police officer, and special police officer."

"If you want to upgrade your police officer's rank, one thing is strength, and the other is the ability to solve cases. And at each rank, the clan will take out corresponding ninja resources for training, and then instill in them the concept of justice, so that they will be loyal to the Guard Department, that is, us Uchiha!"

"Through the power we have cultivated, do you think that when the Third Hokage makes a mistake again, will we Uchiha be so isolated and helpless? Let's not talk about those ninjas who have accepted our kindness, let's talk about those ordinary civilian ninjas who have been trained by us and have become the elite ninjas of Konoha. Will they be grateful?"

When Yu finished speaking, Fugaku, Reiyang, and Wada, who were following Yu, all looked at Yu blankly.

A flush suddenly rose on Fugaku's face, "Yu, father supports you!" At this moment he finally saw the Uchiha path to becoming Hokage, which was the Uchiha's long-cherished wish since the establishment of Konoha!

"Then, Patriarch, are we going to fight for the position of elder of Konoha?" Lieyang, who also reacted, asked excitedly.

Yu shook his head calmly, "Not this time. Uchiha has no basis to compete for the elders, and Hyuga has already released goodwill. This is something that all ninja clans have seen. Uchiha must show basic integrity. In this way, even if the clans that failed to compete for the elders will be angry, they can also see the integrity of Uchiha, which is extremely important for the future development of the clan."

The three nodded. Although they could not expand the family's power any further, the clan leader undoubtedly saw further ahead. It was not a pity at all to give up the current benefits for that position. What Uchiha wanted was the entire Konoha.

"Oh! By the way, Captain, please leave a seat for Hinata!" Yu suddenly thought of the person who had been looking at him with burning eyes during the meeting.

"Hiashi! I hope you can seize this opportunity!"

"Yes! Chief!" Lieyang agreed without hesitation.

Yu nodded, "This time, the position of branch director will be yours, Lieyang!"

"Ah!" Lieyang was stunned. "Clan leader, can I do it? I still want to follow you!" Uchiha Lieyang replied reluctantly.

Yu smiled bitterly, "You are unwilling to be given more responsibilities. You must do your job as the branch director well. I don't want you to do anything extra. Just implement my orders!"

"Yes! Chief!" Uchiha Lieyang said a little depressed.

Fugaku was watching from behind, gasping in amazement. This was the first time he had seen such a loyal clansman, and he was also the son of his old rival. Somehow, Fugaku felt very happy!

"By the way, father, don't be idle either. I plan to form a clan guard with the outstanding children in the clan. When you are free, you can cultivate their practical combat capabilities!"

Fugaku, who was secretly feeling happy, was suddenly interrupted. His eyes revealed a hint of confusion, "Yu, why is this happening?"

"Father, you must know that our clan members are the core strength of our family. Without strong clan members, how can we, the Uchiha clan, suppress the other ninja clans in Konoha? In the future, this will be the foundation for us, the Uchiha clan, to gain a foothold in this world. So don't be selfish. Practice hard until you can't kill me!"

Fugaku was slightly stunned. He thought he had entered retirement life, but he didn't expect that his eldest son would find a lot of things for him to do. He simply couldn't rest.

At the same time, Sarutobi and the other two returned to the Hokage's office and licked their wounds silently.

"What a great Uchiha, he actually colluded with the Hyuga and Yamanaka clans!" Mitomon Yan became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and stood up and cursed.

"Okay, Mito! Calm down, there's no use getting angry now!" Sarutobi silently took a puff of his opium.

"Haiyi should be targeting the Anbu because of his nephew's matter. If he really chooses to betray, Shikaku and Choza beside him will not remain indifferent. As for the Hinata, I really didn't expect their ambitions to be so big."

"Haha! Sarutobi, now you should know that the Uchiha guys have no good intentions!" A sudden cold voice made the faces of Sarutobi and the other two present turn black.

"Danzo! How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up like this!" At this moment even Utane Koharu, his long-time companion who had some sympathy for Danzo's situation, had a bad face.

Danzo, who was about to say something, frowned and said, "Xiaochun, what do you mean?"

Now that Danzo is left alone, he has no idea what happened in the entire meeting!

"What do you mean? What you did made all of us lose face today!" At this moment, it seemed that Utane Koharu, who was full of resentment, had found a vent and did not give Danzo any face at all.

Danzo stood in the shadows, his face cold and silent.

"Enough!" Sarutobi suddenly yelled, looking at Danzo with an ugly expression, "Danzo, didn't I tell you not to enter my office casually in the future! Now we must not let Uchiha catch us again, otherwise we will all be finished!"

Danzo's body trembled slightly. Now his strength was only one tenth of what it was. He knew that this was definitely the scene that the Uchiha brat wanted to see the most.

Feeling the increasingly indifferent looks from his companions, Danzo's heart was filled with great hatred. Under the gazes of Sarutobi and the other two, Danzo left the Hokage Building in shame like a dog.

Before leaving, he gave Sarutobi a fierce and secretive look.

"One day, Sarutobi! What I've experienced today, I will repay you tenfold! A hundredfold! And the Uchiha brats..."
