Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 26 Uzumaki Mito begins to hesitate
The next morning, Uchiha Setsuna found Uchiha Takean. After enjoying breakfast, the two met together the vassal ninjas who had been waiting in the reception hall.

There are a total of six ninja clan leaders, all of whom are standard jonin of Konoha, and their strength is mediocre.

Even though he only valued their jonin voting rights, Uchiha Wuan did not adopt a cold attitude like Uchiha Setsuna, but had a gentle smile on his face.

This made the ninja clan leaders feel a lot more at ease. At least the future head of the Uchiha clan had a friendly attitude towards them.

"Thank you for taking the time to meet me, young master."

After a brief meeting, the six ninja clan leaders made a guarantee on the spot, using their clan as collateral, that the clan's heirs would follow Uchiha Takean as attendants, showing their sincerity.

Looking at their leaving backs, Uchiha Wuan's gaze also left the Nohara clan leader.

"Young Master is interested in the Nohara family?"

Uchiha Setsuna, who played the villain and was also acting in his true colors, took a sip of tea and was very satisfied with Uchiha Takean's performance in the meeting.

Although some aspects are immature, that is due to lack of experience. After holding more meetings, you will get used to it.

"I am a little interested, but not now."

Uchiha Wuan still remembers a sentence from his previous life - Divine power can't hide tears, all I see is the beauty.

[Kamui] refers to another traitor in the Uchiha clan, and [Lin] refers to Nohara Rin. Together, they wrote a touching story of a man chasing a woman and creating one tragedy after another.

Using the Mangekyō to control the Nine-Tails directly led to the death of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, on whom all the hopes of the Uchiha clan were placed, leaving the Uchiha clan completely isolated and helpless, and becoming one of the main culprits in the genocide.

Just like Uchiha Shifang said, if the Uchiha clan worked together, there wouldn't be so many bad things happening.

"It would be good to give the young vassal ninja a beating."

Uchiha Setsuna said casually, and then pulled Uchiha Takean to the family training ground. As an elder of the fighting faction, he was quite keen on fighting.

Uchiha Wuan was naturally happy to be able to get combat techniques and skills for free.

The Sharingan has three basic abilities: observation, copying, and hypnosis.

By combining the observation and copying abilities, one can quickly learn the opponent's non-bloody Nintai Gensanjutsu abilities.

In a nutshell - what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.

As long as the Sharingan is opened and a little fighting is done, one can quickly be promoted from a Genin to a Chunin, and be qualified to become the captain of a ninja team.

This is also the fundamental reason why Uchiha has remained prosperous, the number of Chunins is greater than that of Genins, and the number of Jonins is the highest in the ninja world.

………………

In the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shipo and Uchiha Higen came up empty-handed, and then learned from the staff in the building that Uzumaki Mito had brought a group of people to visit the injured Shinobi Army ninjas.

This move to win people's hearts made the two frown and go straight over.

Konoha can be roughly divided into three major areas. The innermost core area is home to the Hokage Building and other important buildings. In addition to these are the huge residences of the Uchiha and Senju families.

The central area outside is basically occupied by powerful ninja clans with Kage-level strongmen. There are also some empty spaces where scattered weak ninja clans and civilian jonin live.

The outermost area is where ordinary villagers and merchants live.

At this time, in the residential area where the civilian jonin lived in the central area, Uchiha Shifang and Uchiha Huhe were surrounded by the crowd with ugly faces.

"Thank you, Mito-sama. I will definitely support you in becoming the Sandaime Hokage!"

The two watched the scene silently, but did not approach. They knew they were not welcome, and if they went over, it would probably cause a worse negative impact on others. "Ino-Shika-Chou, Hinata, Sarutobi, Shimura..."

"As expected of the Thousand Hands of the Forest where many trees form a forest."

As Uchiha Huhe called out the names one by one, the frown between his brows became heavier.

Those who follow Uzumaki Mito are all powerful figures of the ninja clan who are close to Senju, or simply the heads of the clan. Compared with Senju Moriki, Uzumaki Mito is much stronger in terms of means and prestige.

As long as a legitimate reason is given, no ninja clan will refuse to unite under the banner of the Senju of the Forest.

"The only one missing is our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Shifang sighed, and then his face became serious, "Since it is difficult for us to stand out in an open election, we should consider improving the importance of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Perhaps we can use the election of Hokage as an exchange of benefits."

"Retreat to advance, give it a try!"

The opinions put forward by the Uchiha Quartet were difficult for Uchiha Fire Core to accept.

As a conservative elder, Uchiha Huhe undoubtedly has more factors to consider, so he hopes to obtain the clan's due status through peaceful means, and cherishes the hard-won opportunity to ascend to the position of Hokage.

If the strength of the Senju of the Forest overwhelms the Uchiha, the Uchiha Fire Core can continue to endure.

However, the weakened Senju of the Forest relied on the false numerical strength created by the foreign races, forcing the Uchiha clan to give up. The eyes of this conservative elder were already filled with uncontrollable murderous intent, which was instantly noticed by Uzumaki Mito.

The mature lady with both majesty and beauty smiled at the two men from a distance. That sweet and elegant smile made the two men so angry that they turned around and left.

(These two guys are already planning to take action.)
Uzumaki Mito's eyes flashed, and the words she had exchanged with Senju Moriki last night came to her mind.

(Negotiation with Uchiha?)
Including the Senju clan who returned from the front line, there are no more than thirty jonin who can continue to fight. Add to that the Anbu, and their chances of winning against the now powerful Uchiha are very low, unless Uzumaki Mito pulls people from the Land of Whirlpools, but this is unrealistic.

Strictly speaking, Uzumaki Mito is also Senju Mito.

The stance of the other ninja clans is just waving flags and shouting slogans at best, and it is not in their interest to ask them to personally fight the Uchiha clans.

The biggest possibility is to come out to mediate, and then gain benefits from it, and then gradually break away from the identity of the Senju clan and become a new emerging ninja alliance force united by a third party of Konoha.

(The only one who might end up like this is Hinata.)
The feud between the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan is also long-standing. If they just want to mobilize the shameless old fox Hyuga Ashizashi, the Senju of the Forest will definitely have to pay the price of cutting off their own flesh.

So Uzumaki Mito tried his best not to fight.

But after discovering that even the conservative Uchiha Fire Core was filled with murderous intent, she suddenly woke up and couldn't help but consider whether to give Uchiha the opportunity to enter Konoha's upper echelons.

The Uchiha clan has Uchiha Takean, but the Senju of the Forest has no one who can match him. When Uzumaki Mito finds that he gets old and can only lie in bed, what should the Uchiha do at that time?
Watching Senju of the Forest slowly dying step by step?
"Mito-sama, it's almost time."

The follower at the side estimated the time and spoke respectfully to Uzumaki Mito.

"Well, I see."

Looking at the civilian jonin behind him who had broken legs but was still waving to him in thanks and was about to retire, Uzumaki Mito remained silent.

If they really fight a life-and-death battle with the Uchiha clan, even if the Senju of Mori wins, they will still be on the verge of extinction. How will they face the many ninja clans of Konoha then?

When faced with the combined forces of the Uchiha conservatives, the compromising factions, and the militant factions, Uzumaki Mito began to become hesitant - the position of Hokage cannot be given up, but should the position of high-level decision-making elders be given to the Uchiha?
