Inside the house, under the setting sun.
Uchiha Yoru and Uchiha Mikoto stood facing each other.
"Sister Mikoto!"
As soon as Uchiha Yoru spoke, Uchiha Mikoto revealed an understanding and gentle smile.
"Yoru, this is the fastest way for you to enter the clan's upper circles."
Looking at Mikoto, a warmth rose in Uchiha Yoru's heart. He knew Mikoto was worried about him.
Bloodline Disease!
These three words were like a nightmare in a bloodline clan. He, Uchiha Yoru, was merely a prodigy who had just awakened his Sharingan and hadn't grown yet. He wasn't worth the clan making such an investment.
One had to know that the cost of each Cell Stabilizing Agent was between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, and the fees could even increase based on his physical condition, usage frequency, and other factors.
Dual Kekkei Genkai. In the eyes of the arrogant Uchiha clan, only the Sharingan was the strongest; everything else was trash.
Therefore, his Dual Kekkei Genkai wouldn't cause much of a stir within the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Yoru sighed, pushed the matter to the back of his mind, and then showed a look of confusion.
"Sister Mikoto, what about Kushina?"
When it came to Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto showed a rare, calm, and helpless smile.
"Yoru, although I deliberately approached her for the clan's sake, Kushina is also a pitiable person. She even knows I approached her, but we still became good friends."
Uchiha Mikoto was older than Kushina, but when she spoke of Kushina, her face lit up with the smile one gets when thinking of something beautiful.
"You don't need to take this mission too seriously this time; just go through the motions. I've already made arrangements with Kushina..."
Listening to Uchiha Mikoto's plan, Uchiha Yoru realized at that moment how much effort Uchiha Mikoto had put in for him.
Bloodline Disease! Uchiha Mikoto didn't want anything to happen to him, so she had guided the development of this situation.
She was even playing both sides.
Seeing the look in Uchiha Yoru's eyes, Uchiha Mikoto showed a rare teasing smile.
"Yoru, I'm not doing this just for you; I have my own selfish reasons. After all, once the old man is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep things under control by myself, and I'll need your help."
If Uchiha Mikoto were given another five or six years, she would have enough confidence to take over Elder Setsuna's influence.
Although the Uchiha clan valued bloodlines, they valued strength even more.
Uchiha Yoru naturally understood this and couldn't help but chuckle teasingly:
"Sister Mikoto, then the clan will rely on the two of us in the future."
Under their soft laughter, it seemed all their worries were cast aside.
Finally, before leaving, Uchiha Mikoto narrowed her eyes, a scarlet glint flashing in her pupils.
"Yoru, cultivate well. I need to prepare to become a Special Jonin."
Good heavens, seeing Uchiha Mikoto say something like that right before leaving left Uchiha Yoru speechless.
Watching her departing figure, he was left alone in the empty house and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Uchiha!"
Rubbing his temples, Uchiha Yoru showed a smile. This radical clan was what he wanted; ancient but not pedantic.
In this Shinobi World where strength reigned supreme, the Uchiha's philosophy of prioritizing strength was far superior to that of the Hyuga.
"My past life's Ancestor said it well: when you don't have the strength to change everything, learn to blend in."
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoru's lips curled into a smile.
He truly loved this place too much.
Senju Clan.
"Brat, what do you want to report coming here in the middle of the night?"
Tsunade, in front of outsiders, had just lost her brother, so she could only maintain a cold demeanor.
However, Uchiha Yoru, standing before her, lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Captain Tsunade, the clan already knows I've awakened my Sharingan, as well as the matter of my Dual Kekkei Genkai. Then, the Clan Head and Elders met me at Naka Shrine.
Based on my observations, I found that the disagreement between the Elders and the Clan Head seems to be staged for outsiders."
Listening to Uchiha Yoru's report, Tsunade sneered inwardly. How could the Senju clan not know about such a situation? Even an observant person could see it.
It was merely to ease the conflict between the Radical Faction and the Moderate Faction. If these two old guys weren't leading, given the Uchiha's nature, wouldn't they have annihilated the other side?
But this brat was arranged to be a spy during the day, and he's reporting in the evening?
Tsunade looked at the clan emblem on Uchiha Yoru, representing his clan, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, As expected of the radical Uchiha.
"Lady Tsunade, afterward, the Elders and the Clan Head ordered me to secretly contact Uzumaki Kushina... They said she is the bridge between the clan and the village, and that through her, I could even step into the higher echelons in the future..."
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoru's subsequent words, Tsunade's expression became even more solemn.
"You actually managed to secretly contact Kushina!"
Although Tsunade was angry, upon closer thought, the Uchiha clan's way of thinking actually made this possible.
The Uchiha clan nowadays was solely focused on breaking into Konoha's higher circles and gaining their trust.
"Mikoto-neechan secretly contacted me, saying she would tell Kushina about this, it was just a formality..."
This time, Uchiha Yoru omitted almost nothing, revealing everything that happened at Naka Shrine in detail.
He even admitted that Uchiha Mikoto had arranged for him to just go through the motions.
One reason was that there was no need to lie, and another was that he needed Tsunade's trust.
After all, according to analysis of the original story's intel, Uchiha Mikoto did indeed have good results contacting Kushina; sincerity begets sincerity.
But in the end, the ones who reaped the rewards were the Third Hokage's faction and the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
From this, it could be inferred that in the competition for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Third Hokage's regime had won, and the Senju clan had lost.
Standing with the Third Hokage's faction, they couldn't just stand by and watch the Senju clan continue to control such a powerful entity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
A Tailed Beast! Only by holding it in one's own hands could one feel truly secure.
"Brat, you're selling out your own clan's information like this, doesn't it hurt your heart!"
After listening to Uchiha Yoru's report, Tsunade couldn't help but gaze deeply at the brat and say this.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru's expression became solemn as he said in a deep voice:
"Captain Tsunade! I am not selling out my clan! Konohagakure was built by the Senju and the Uchiha together, I have always kept this in mind! Everything I do is for the clan, for the village!
The Uchiha's love for the village is no less than the Senju clan's, nor is it less than anyone else's in the village!"
As he spoke, a hint of excitement showed in Uchiha Yoru's expression, and tomoe gradually appeared in his pupils.
"What kind of world do we live in now? War! Shinobi with power, yet they are poor shinobi! And elderly shinobi suffer from poverty and hardship. Haven't you seen the damage the war has brought to the village, Captain Tsunade!
The Uchiha clan has always been working to end the war, and for this reason, Uchiha shinobi, skilled in Fire Style, have not retreated an inch on the Land of Rain battlefield!"
Uchiha Yoru became more and more agitated as he spoke, making Tsunade's scalp tingle. This brat was getting carried away!
"We Uchiha are not lunatics! We Uchiha also shed blood to protect the village and strive for peace!"
At this moment, the tomoe in Uchiha Yoru's Sharingan were spinning excitedly, leaving Tsunade speechless. Could this brat be about to evolve to two tomoe?
"Captain Tsunade! The enemies of the Uchiha clan will always be those who intend to divide and provoke the village!"
Looking at Uchiha Yoru, who was righteous and agitated before her, Tsunade, for the first time in a long time, showed a serious expression.
"I understand, I apologize for my previous words!"
Tsunade apologized!
This scene made Uchiha Yoru somewhat stunned, but then he thought about Tsunade's character and suddenly understood. The future Fifth Generation Hokage appeared in the Infinite Tsukuyomi illusion with the Uchiha clan existing.
Although she had a bad temper, she was definitely someone who dared to act and admit it.
At this moment, Tsunade's bright brown eyes showed a serious expression, exuding an air of heroic spirit.
"Captain Tsunade!"
Uchiha Yoru took a deep breath, and the Sharingan in his eyes gradually faded. Then, with a solemn expression, he took out a scroll from his ninja tool pouch.
Next, he would have to win over this Tsunade step by step.
