Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 17: The first step to becoming a Hokage, taking the lead
The war was over, the front-line ninja troops had already set foot in the Land of Fire, and the news that they would return to the village soon spread throughout Konoha and the outside world. The crowded streets were filled with villagers talking to each other with smiles on their faces.

Konoha's victory did not surprise them. Instead, the war lasted for several years, which made them complain. After all, they live in Konoha Village, the strongest village in the ninja world!

Shouldn’t it be possible to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village in no time?
The villagers who still don't know that Tobirama Senju has died miss the invincible first generation Senju Hashirama, respect the dedicated second generation Senju Tobirama, and look forward to who will be the third generation - will it be a master of the Senju of the Forest? Or the Byakugan Hyuga of the ancient and famous family?

In short, he can't be the Uchiha who looks down on others.

As if they had calculated the time perfectly, groups of ninjas began to appear on the streets one after another, following the flow of people and starting to follow spontaneously according to their strength and status.

Behind them are the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, and the Kurama clan.

The Hyuga clan in the middle and the three clans of Ino, Deer and Chou.

And in the front, the Senju clan led by Uzumaki Mito.

The group consisted of a team of more than a hundred people, each of whom had at least the strength of a jonin, and at most could unleash the strength of a super shadow. They all wore Konoha jonin vests with the Uzumaki clan's emblem printed on the back, and black tight combat uniforms underneath. They walked slowly on the street, receiving respectful looks from the villagers.

At the front of the team, there were only two people wearing different clothes.

One of them is Uzumaki Mito who is wearing a white kimono, and the other is the Hyuga clan head who has fallen behind, an old antique who survived the Warring States Period, and is steadily becoming a strong shadow, wearing a light brown kimono.

"Chief Ashisha, you should know what happened on the front line, right?"

"What is the Hyuga clan's plan?"

Hinata Ashisa was not surprised by Uzumaki Mito's straightforward words. This woman was a violent girl when she was young. She solved more problems with her fists than with words. She had a straightforward personality. It was only after she became a grandmother that her temper became much more restrained.

But not being surprised does not mean liking it. The Hyuga clan, who follow the rules and have a simple family tradition, hates and is least able to adapt to people who are too familiar with others and don't follow the rules and etiquette.

Hyuga Ashisa doesn't like Uzumaki Mito, but her background, identity and strength allow the patriarch of the Hyuga main family to ignore some of her insignificant minor flaws.

Just as Hyuga Ashizashi hates Uchiha Takean, it does not prevent him from appreciating what Uchiha Takean said in the hot spring town of Yu-no-Kuni - he who knows the times is a hero.

Coincidentally, the Hyuga clan is full of talented people.

"Hinata?"

Hinata Ashizashi's face was as calm as a lake, "I will follow the instructions of the village."

(This old fox, it’s the same as if he didn’t say anything.)
"The village will take the overall situation into consideration."

If it had happened in the past, she would have given him a look that was even more contemptuous than the one Hinata gave her. Uzumaki Mito sensed Hinata Ashizashi's emotions, and when she found that he had no ill intentions, she ignored him.

After all, it is impossible for the Hyuga clan to cheer for the Uchiha clan, but it is very likely that they will take advantage of the situation.

"They're coming."

Suddenly, Hinata Ashizashi whispered.

Uzumaki Mito looked ahead calmly, ignoring the commotion behind him.

At the side and rear of the crowd, nearly a hundred Uchiha jonins wearing black robes from the Warring States period, with red layered armor on the outside, and Uchiha fans printed on their backs, with samurai swords hanging from their waists, walked up slowly but quickly like an unstoppable blood-red torrent.

The villagers and ninjas standing in front of them all looked at this group of cold and murderous assassins with awe, feeling both envy and jealousy in their hearts.

I envy them for being Uchiha, and I’m even more jealous that they are Uchiha!
The end point of their training is to be a jonin, but for most Uchiha people, jonin is just the starting point of training. The huge gap, coupled with the pride and paranoia of the Uchiha clan, led to this emotion, with the instigation of Senju Tobirama, gradually turning into rejection!

The Uchiha clan was even more unwilling to approach them. If you don’t like me, why should I care about you? So the gap between them became deeper and deeper. (This group of maverick, self-righteous bastards.)
Green and red began to stand side by side. The vest jonins who were ignored by the Uchiha were so angry that their gums were itching, but most of the vest jonins did not dare to look at the Uchiha jonin, and were even more shocked by the powerful strength of the Uchiha clan.

Seeing this scene, the Uchiha clan became even more arrogant.

The cold and deep chakras from the same source were connected to form lines, almost condensing into tangible chakra pressure, which continuously squeezed the walking space of the vest-armored ninja. The weak ninja was already sweating profusely, with chest tightness and shortness of breath.

The green team no longer has the momentum it once had.

"Mito-hime, long time no see."

"How come Master Hashirama is gone, Master Tobirama is gone too, does the Senju of the Forest need to rely on Princess Mito now?"

The Uchiha Sifang who stood out from the crowd glanced at the Senju ninjas, especially Senju Mori, the son of Senju Hashirama, whose face was beginning to turn blue and whose fists were clenched. He laughed and said, "Fortunately, we still have Wu'an Shaojun in the younger generation of our clan. I wonder if there are any other Senju in the Senju clan?"

"This guy..."

Without waiting for Senju Moriki to finish, Uzumaki Mito took a step and red chakra emanated from his body, as if it was a collective chakra of hatred, vast and evil, like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of the Uchiha Sifang and the Uchiha behind them, and their momentum was immediately frustrated.

The vest jonins sensed this keenly, and the team began to gather together. Unconsciously, with the help of Uzumaki Mito, they withstood the pressure from the Uchiha.

Uzumaki Mito walked directly to the front, declaring Konoha's strongest sovereignty. She looked back at the Uchiha Quartet.

"Chief Shito, you can't slack off in your training just because you can't become Hokage!"

(Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!)
Facing Uzumaki Mito, who seemed concerned but was actually mocking him, Uchiha Shifang's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed happily.

"I am old and can no longer practice. From now on, my clan will fully support Young Master Wu'an to show his skills. As an old guy left over from the Warring States Period, I should go back and educate my son to prevent him from becoming a useless waste."

Hyuga Ashizashi, who was watching from the side, really admired Uchiha Shifang's magnanimity. His words were full of sarcasm and he felt worried.

The Uchiha clan's current performance clearly shows that with the existence of Uchiha Takean, the three major factions have set their target. It is really a question of what kind of combat power will be unleashed next and whether the Senju of the Forest can stop it.

Perhaps the Hyuga clan can no longer just stand by and watch.

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Hatano also responded in agreement. Every word they said almost made the elderly but still beautiful and dignified Uzumaki Mito so angry that she wanted to hit someone. Fortunately, everyone had already reached the gate of Konoha and could see the returning ninja army from afar.

The Uchiha people also saw Uchiha Takean returning in front of the ninja army.

After the distance was shortened, Uchiha Shifang smiled and passed Uzumaki Mito. Under the effect of chakra, his voice spread over a radius of ten miles.

"Welcome to our clan's young master Uchiha Wuan, who has returned victorious after slaying the Second-Daimyo Raikage!"

The Uchiha behind him shouted in unison.

"Welcome to our clan's young master Uchiha Wuan, who has returned victorious after slaying the Second-Daimyo Raikage!"

As the sound spread throughout the area, there were the astonished faces of the villagers, the gloomy expressions of the ninjas, the angry face of Uzumaki Mito, and the excited faces of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Sifang looked around complacently. Actually, in his original plan, he wanted to add words like revenge for Senju Tobirama, but when he thought of such a terrifying woman like Uzumaki Mito, he would lose all his face if he was beaten by her in public.

(It seems that the old guys in the clan, no, the elders in the clan are still quite powerful.)
Uchiha Wuan narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile in his eyes - the first step to becoming Hokage is to take the lead.
