Uchiha's Blade

When Mana visited the Uchiha tribe, she could clearly feel the sincerity of Uchiha Fugaku.

In addition to Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui that Mana is more familiar with, there are also some "old acquaintances" of Mana.

Some old people of the Uchiha clan.

...Actually, Mana is not particularly familiar with most of them, but at least when it comes to names, she can always remember them.

Mana smiled meaningfully at Uchiha Fugaku: "The Uchiha patriarch is bothering."

She didn't believe that Uchiha Fugaku didn't ask these people about her.

Uchiha Fugaku pretended not to understand the deep meaning in this sentence, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, several clan elders also proposed to me before, hoping to invite you to come back to live in the Uchiha clan, although the old house before I didn’t stay, but it’s not good to keep you living outside, what do you think?”

For Uchiha Fugaku, building a good relationship with Mana is indeed one of the most important tasks now.

Seeing that Uchiha's plan to control the power of the village through a coup is impossible, Sandai Hokage is obviously not optimistic about the current young people in the Uchiha clan. Even Uchiha Shisui has only gained limited trust.

An unspoken rule is that the position of Hokage has always been passed down in Konoha in the way of master and apprentice.

The first Hokage and the second Hokage are originally brothers. Let’s not mention it for now. The third Hokage is the disciple of the second Hokage, and the fourth Hokage is the disciple of the third Hokage. Originally speaking, the Uchiha clan also has a Uchiha Obito He is a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, but it is a pity that Obito Uchiha died too early, and he did not show any outstanding talents before he died. Everyone did not think that he had the possibility of succeeding Hokage.

The third Hokage is already too old, he had retired before and handed over the position to the fourth Hokage, and now, although he took up the heavy responsibility of Hokage again, everyone knew that it was just because he hadn't found a suitable successor for a while.

So who is most likely to become the future Hokage in Konoha now?

If you ask Uchiha Fuyue this question, the first name that comes to his mind must be Uchiha Mana.

In other words, from the moment Uchiha Mana returned to Konoha, she must be the No.1 choice for the next Hokage.

Mana didn't think about this, and after declining the proposal to move back to live, she followed Uchiha Fugaku to visit the current Uchiha clan land.

Uchiha Fugaku introduced: "Although we moved away from the center of the village to the edge, the place is bigger than before, and we have re-planned it. It should be more convenient than the previous clan land. In addition, We also have our own street, and we can meet the needs of the tribe for daily purchases or gatherings for dinner.”

Mana looked at the current clan land and nodded: "It is indeed much bigger than before. When I was very young, the houses in the old clan land were very crowded, and most of the houses were expanded in the following years."

Speaking of this, Mana suddenly laughed: "Probably few people now know that those big houses in the original Uchiha clan were all built by Hashirama-sensei with wooden dungeons."

Uchiha Fugaku seems to have heard of it for the first time: "There are still such things. If I knew it, even if we moved away, we should maintain those old houses well."

Mana waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, the reason why Hashirama-sensei went to build the house was because he lost all his first salary by gambling, and he didn't dare to tell Tobuma-sama and Mito-sama, so he borrowed Madara-sama's money." , Tsk, it is said that the money was not paid back until the end."

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

No, why is the image of the legendary ninja god Wei An completely destroyed by you in one sentence!

Was the original Hokage so unreliable?

Mana glanced at his expression, and couldn't bear to say that the first Hokage not only owed money to Uchiha, but also took her to the casino with her who got the mission gold for the first time, and then the two lost everything together.

...Later, Uchiha Madara drove Susano and had a fight with Senjujuma.

Even Senshou Feijian was guarding against thieves, preventing his elder brother from bringing the future heir of Hokage into trouble.

After visiting the Uchiha tribe, Uchiha Fugaku didn't want a group of people to follow him. He took Mana to the Uchiha's meeting room. After sitting down, he smiled and asked Mana: "What do you think of today's How about Uchiha?"

Most of the construction of the new family land was completed under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku, and it is thanks to him that there is such a prosperous scene. On this point, Uchiha Fugaku does have a little pride in his heart.

Chennai said ruthlessly: "It looks like a bustling place, but it actually gives me the feeling of a flower in a mirror and a moon in the water."

This kind of unceremonious evaluation made the smile on Uchiha Fugaku's face disappear.

Some ninjas in the clan who hold real power but are not familiar with Mana also showed dissatisfied expressions.

Mana is not afraid of the glaring of these people, her eyes fell on Uchiha Fugaku after looking around: "The Uchiha patriarch seems to be very proud of these achievements? With all due respect, the Uchiha clan really occupies an extremely large area. It is big and well-built, and the commercial street I took me to see before is also very prosperous, almost not much different from the street outside, but this is exactly the problem."

Mana tapped the table lightly with her knuckles, making two bangs, but these two small sounds were like heavy drums beating on the hearts of everyone present.

In Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, the pattern of the three hooked jade suddenly appeared.

Mana laughed: "As expected of the patriarch."

She tapped on the table twice, but actually used a very superb illusion technique. This is an illusion that uses sound as the medium. It will not make people fall into a hallucination, but it is enough to shock people.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned: "What do you mean?"

Mana said: "Just a reminder to everyone, the current Uchiha is really not vigilant."

As soon as Uchiha Fugaku turned his face, he found that many clansmen who were staring at Mana originally lowered their heads and looked away, not daring to look at her.

Obviously, the previous illusion had a great impact on their hearts, probably because of the emotion of 'fear'.

Mana said: "Don't worry, it's not permanent, it will probably recover tomorrow, so let's continue talking."

Uchiha Fugaku was very dissatisfied with her practice of attacking her tribe when she disagreed with her, but those tribes did not have much respect for Mana before. Such an impolite gaze could almost be called an offense. Mana used an illusion with less serious consequences As a counterattack, this approach cannot be said to be problematic.

Even though Uchiha Fugaku was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to suppress this emotion, and said to Mana: "Please tell me."

His tone couldn't help becoming stiff.

Uchiha Itachi moved towards Mana without moving. Uchiha Fugaku glanced at his eldest son, knowing that his move was obviously on Uchiha Mana's side, but he had nothing to do with him, so he had to go alone Sulk.

Mana didn't care much about Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts, she continued: "I just heard about Uchiha's ambitions as soon as I came back. I thought that you who have such ambitions should at least be smarter in means, but I didn't expect that you really It's even more stupid than Monkey... I mean the methods of the Third Hokage."

She stabbed everyone in the heart as mercilessly as she did back then: "I have never thought that being ambitious is a bad thing. Having ambition can become a driving force for progress and make Uchiha stronger. This is a good thing. But Sora has ambitions but no brains. This is obviously not a good thing. Chief Fuyue, you don’t have to look at me like this. Answer me a question first. Uchiha wants to control the power of the village, so what Uchiha wants Is it the power of the entire Muye Village like this now, or is it a dream to go back to the Warring States Period and only gain the hegemony of one family for self-entertainment?"

Uchiha Fugaku said: "The people of the tribe naturally want the power of the village. If we don't want to stay in Konoha, why should we suffer those grievances? We have already left the country of fire!"

This sentence is also the voice of many Uchihas. Even if there are many conflicts with the village, for the current Uchihas, Konoha is the place where they grow, and they are unwilling to leave Konoha after all.

Mana nodded: "If this is the case, then what are the streets in the clan? You told me very proudly before that they can fully meet the daily needs of the clan people. What you see is prosperity, I see What's more, it's isolation. Not only other families in the village isolated Uchiha, but Uchiha also isolated the village. You didn't plan to really integrate into the village, did you? The Senju Clan is now sparsely populated, but even in the Senju Clan's most When they were prosperous, did they build streets in their clan land? Did they make their clan land look like a village within a village? Now that Senju is gone, can you still compare it with the Hyuga clan? What about the result? The reputation of the Hyuga Clan in the village is far better than that of the Uchiha Clan. Even if such a Uchiha succeeds in the coup and gains power in the village, what you are facing is only two results."

Mana raised a finger: "First, because they couldn't be accepted by other families and couldn't convince the crowd, the village was completely disintegrated, and no one obeyed the other. From then on, they went their own way."

Mana immediately raised a second finger: "Second, and the result I think is the most unacceptable, is that with Uchiha's current narrow mentality, conflicts with other families in the village will break out again, and everyone will fight among themselves. The internal friction of Konoha is the mutual massacre between Konoha's own forces, and by the way, this is the most likely result in my opinion."

And if she meets such a Uchiha when she comes back, Mana will not leave such a Uchiha a chance at all, I am afraid that the so-called "genocide plan" will be carried out by her personally.

Seeing the expression on Uchiha Fugaku's face getting worse and worse, Mana slowed down his tone slightly: "Clan leader Fugaku, the so-called power is ultimately a political struggle. Let's not discuss whether ninjas want to intervene in politics or engage in political struggles , we only talk about a very simple truth. The so-called political struggle is to make as many friends as possible and deal with as few enemies as possible, but the current Uchiha is completely doing the opposite. To be honest, Uchiha is in The family in Konoha...even with civilian ninjas, how many friends does Uchiha have now? Even if you don’t have any friends, what are you still dreaming of coup d’état, and the success rate of re-establishing a ninja village with the whole clan? It's bigger."

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

He finally understood what was going on with the inexplicable and daring expressions on the faces of Sandai Hokage and the two advisors when they faced Uchiha Mana.

I finally understood why the elders in the clan ran so fast when they said they were going to come to the meeting hall, almost showing the speed at their peak.

Uchiha Mana... is really a devil!

In the end, Uchiha Fugaku coughed dryly, and said with force: "Yes, I understand, next... the Uchiha clan will cancel the streets and other facilities in the clan grounds, and walk around outside Konoha more."

Mana nodded: "That's right, Uchiha's family is not short of money, not to mention that it is much cheaper in the clan than outside. It is a good thing to often go to the outside of the clan to spend money. Not only does it appear that Uchiha is close to the people and gregarious, you give more money to others. Money, take care of other people’s business, if they have something to earn, naturally they should say more good things about you. You do business yourself, and you don’t earn half of the money for others, and they don’t benefit from you. I see you ignore people all day , I must feel that you are not good, you see, the owner of the meatball shop outside has a better evaluation of Uchiha than others."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded again and again: "You are right, you are right."

Anyway, he couldn't refute it.

I can't really say to this person that most Uchihas are a bit difficult to get along with people outside. If I really want to say this, isn't it true that Uchiha has no friends?At that time, I still don't know how to be complained about by this person!

It's enough to experience such a thing as a thousand knives piercing one's heart once.

As a brainy patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku absolutely does not want to find more unhappiness for himself.

On the contrary, when his eyes swept over Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son who has always made him proud, even Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help covering his chest.

I saw Uchiha Itachi's eyes shining with a bright light that had never been seen before, looking at Uchiha Mana without blinking, with a secret sense of pride.

Uchiha Fuyue: "..."

Inexplicably, there is a feeling that my son has become someone else's family.

After Mana filled Uchiha Fugaku's chest with knives, her tone changed, but she said: "Clan leader Fugaku, I actually have something I want to discuss with you this time."

Uchiha Fugaku carefully glanced at her expression, and saw that she was quite happy, so he felt relieved and asked, "I don't know what your plan is?"

Mana said: "Actually, I originally wanted to become a Jonin and accept a few lovely disciples, but it was a mistake, and I couldn't achieve it after all, but it's not too late to accept a few more disciples now, you What do you think?"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart moved: "You mean... want to choose a disciple in the Uchiha clan?"

Just like the position of Hokage, Konoha's power has always been in the hands of the Hokage family. The Uchiha family has never won this opportunity before. In fact, everyone didn't bother to mention the only Uchiha Obito.

...That brat is not only limited in talent, it is impossible to become Hokage at all, but before he died, he gave an important sharingan to foreigners, resulting in one sharingan being left outside the Uchiha clan, which is enough to be the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku has a bad impression of Uchiha Obito.

What's more, Uchiha Obito is dead, and now the Uchiha clan's chances are all with Mana.

After all, if you talk about the inheritance of the Hokage line, if you search the entire Konoha, you may not be able to find a more upright and young person than Mana Uchiha.

But Uchiha Fugaku also quickly figured out another thing. Since Mana came here to say these words to him today, it means that Uchiha Shisui who seemed to have fallen to her side before, even Uchiha Itachi is not a good candidate in her mind.

Uchiha Shisui is her favorite next-generation Uchiha patriarch, and Uchiha Itachi will occupy a place in Anbu. In this way, Uchiha Mana will not allow them to have the qualifications to compete for Hokage.

After understanding this point, Uchiha Fugaku certainly would not blindly recommend Shisui or Itachi, and he began to quickly recall the talented young people in the clan.

You can't be too old, too old to be unreasonable, but you can't be too young, too young to be ignorant, with Uchiha Mana's ability, even a firm person like Itachi has been subdued by her now, if you change to a child, I'm afraid I'll listen to her fooling me about everything in a day.

In this way, Uchiha Fugaku was almost bald in terms of candidates.

He thought for a while, and asked: "Generally speaking, there will be three disciples as Jonin. Besides Uchiha, do you have any other favorite candidates?"

Let’s take a look at the composition of future teammates first. If Uchiha Mana really intends to inherit this team as the Hokage family, then the Uchiha family must do their best to select the best seedlings and send them there. If not, choose a talent It is enough for good clansmen to respond, and it is enough to close the relationship between the family and the Hokage.

Mana said: "I want to choose a child from the Uchiha clan, and the remaining two, one should be from Hinata, and the other is probably a ninja from a small family or a commoner."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly lifted his spirits.

Uchiha and Hinata are the two major families of Konoha today, and according to the tradition of the Naruto family, in addition to the descendants of famous families, they will indeed give some opportunities to small families or commoner ninjas.

The configuration that Mana said is completely matched according to the lineup of Konoha Real Power's team in the future!

In fact, this is indeed the configuration of disciples that Mana should have had. If she hadn't traveled back then, Qianshou Feijian would have arranged such a team for her.

After understanding Mana's plan, Uchiha Fugaku quickly crossed out some of the names in the list in his heart. For such an important position, there cannot be another Uchiha Obito.

In the end, there were only a few candidates he decided on, and they were basically ninjas with a certain status in the Uchiha clan or young people from the elders of the clan, and all of them had not graduated from ninja schools.

In this way, you can directly join the team led by Mana upon graduation. Compared with transferring from other teams, the innate feelings are different.

Mana called all the children over to have a look, and then asked Uchiha Fugaku: "Are these the only children in the clan suitable?"

Uchiha Fugaku said: "These are extremely good children, and they are the future hope of the Uchiha clan."

Mana said: "I heard that Itachi has a younger brother? Itachi is very talented. At his age, few people of the same age can match him, right? Besides, since the patriarch Fuyue can raise the eldest son so Well, it won’t be bad to have a second son.”

Uchiha Fugaku didn't understand Mana's plan: "You mean... Sasuke?"

He thought that Mana didn't want people in his lineage to hold too much power. After all, Mana was obviously not satisfied with him, so why would he suddenly mention Sasuke now?

Even if Uchiha Mana is confident that Sasuke will agree with her ideas more in the future, Uchiha Fugaku is Sasuke's father after all. This kind of blood relationship cannot be denied. The close relationship between father and son is enough for him to exert considerable influence on Sasuke.

Mana said: "When I first came back, I met that child once, he is a good boy."

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't guess what Mana was thinking, so he had to ask someone to call Sasuke.

It was probably the first time for Sasuke to come to a very formal place like the meeting hall, and the serious atmosphere around him made him look a little nervous, so after greeting Uchiha Fugaku, he subconsciously looked to the side Uchiha Itachi: "Brother..."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly at him.

Sasuke, who was a little relieved, saw Mana immediately, he pointed at Mana and shouted: "Ah, it's the person I met at the reservoir that day!"

Uchiha Fugaku quickly reprimanded him: "Sasuke, what about your etiquette!"

Sasuke quickly bowed his head: "I'm sorry, father."

He had just received some approval from his father because he quickly learned the skill of fireball last time, and he didn't want to continue to make his father angry at this time.

And recently my father has a lot of things to do, he comes home very late every day, and his expression is very serious. Although Sasuke has also worked hard to practice skills such as shuriken throwing, but when he told his father about his results, Father just answered a few times casually, and he never saw the joy he had at the beginning.

Mana said: "Don't be so serious, Sasuke, just relax..."

She beckoned to Sasuke, Sasuke hesitated a little, but walked to her side, Mana said softly: "Don't worry about your father, let's talk."

Sasuke looked at her curiously: "What are you going to say?"

Mana said: "That's right. I want to find a future disciple for myself this time. I am very optimistic about your talent. Do you want to accept it?"

Sasuke was very surprised: "You? Be my teacher?"

He waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, although...although you are also very good, but my brother is even better, he can teach me, so I don't want you!"

Uchiha Itachi quickly said: "Sasuke, I am far inferior to Mana-sama."

Mana didn't hide from him about the Kaleidoscope Sharingan and Mudun. Itachi thinks that his strength is not bad, but if he is compared with Mana who has the Kaleidoscope Sharingan and can use Mudun ninjutsu, he must be far from enough.

Not to mention in other respects, the Uchiha coup that once made him helpless and even desperate, Mana handled it so well, how can he be compared with Master Mana?

In Uchiha Itachi's heart, he very much hopes that Sasuke can become Mana's disciple.

In addition to the sharingan of the Uchiha family and the wooden ninjutsu that cannot be taught to others, Mana is also proficient in many secret skills of the Senju clan. The pile developed by the second generation of Hokage can only be stored in the sealed book. She also knows most of the ninjutsu that she can't learn. After the Uzumaki clan's inheritance is interrupted, she is more likely to be the only person who has mastered the Uzumaki clan's sealing and enchantment techniques. Even if Uchiha Mana's political status is not considered, just In terms of strength, being able to become her student is also a lucky enough thing.

Sasuke was still a little unhappy: "But, but my brother doesn't have time to practice with me recently. He obviously said that he would accompany me when he was busy, but you are busier than before now. I know you must be with her." Together!"

Mana looked at Sasuke's bulging face, and suddenly felt that this child was so innocent and stupid, no wonder Itachi would unconsciously show a gentle expression every time he mentioned it.

With such a younger brother, for an elder brother, he would indeed dote on him unconsciously.

but……

Mana said to Sasuke: "You know Itachi is a genius of the Uchiha clan, right?"

Sasuke nodded.

Mana continued: "The so-called genius is not only superior to everyone in strength, but also to set an example for the clan and win glory for the Uchiha clan. Itachi is such an existence worthy of pride for the clan, right?"

Now Sasuke puffed up his chest as if he was the one being praised: "Yes, brother is very powerful!"

Uchiha Itachi's face blushed unconsciously because of such a straightforward compliment: "Master Mana, this is too much."

Being praised by someone he admires and admires like this, which young boy can bear it!

Mana just smiled at Itachi, and then continued to say to Sasuke: "Because Itachi has more responsibilities, he has to be busy with a lot of things every day. These are business matters. After these things, Itachi has worked very hard." , you don't want such a tired Itachi to sacrifice his rest time to accompany you, do you?"

Sasuke felt that this question was a bit difficult to decide.

He can neither say that Itachi is not allowed to do things to win glory for the Uchiha clan, nor can he let the tired Itachi insist on practicing with him.

Sasuke also understood in his heart that compared to the things Itachi was busy with, practicing with him was only a trivial matter, but he was always attached to Itachi.

"Then... what should I do then? I don't want to never see my brother."

Mana smiled: "That's because Itachi can contribute to the family and the village now, but Sasuke's strength is far from enough. If Sasuke can also grow up, you don't have to wait for Itachi to come to you, you can Go to Itachi by yourself, now Itachi is working for me, so Sasuke..."

Sasuke immediately raised his hand very positively: "I want it, I want it! I want to be your disciple!"

He had a bright and innocent smile on his face, and looked forward to and admiring Mana in his eyes: "You are right, I will work hard, and I will never lose to my brother!"

Mana smiled and touched Sasuke's head: "Good boy."

Uchiha Fugaku silently covered his chest: "..."

It's over, the two sons are someone else's! "
