The Approaching Rebellion of Madara Uchiha!

Night, Uchiha Compound.

"Chisato, how was the academy today? Did you make any friends?"

Upon hearing Kagami Uchiha's question, Chisato immediately thought of Torikaze. She felt that she and Torikaze probably counted as friends.

"Yes. His name is Torikaze, and he's the head of the Windcloud Clan. Brother, have you heard of the Windcloud Clan?"

Kagami Uchiha thought carefully. He seemed to have indeed seen the Windcloud Clan mentioned in some family records, though there had been very little written about them.

The main points recorded were that although their clan had few members, it was extremely powerful.

Their Cloud Release Secret Technique was incomparably formidable. With a mere gesture, they could turn people into clouds and mist that scattered away.

"I've heard of them, but I don't know much. Still, they're a very powerful clan."

Chisato grew a little curious upon hearing that. According to what Torikaze had said, his clan passed down through a single line.

At most, there were probably only four or five people in the clan. How could a clan like that be considered powerful?

But since her brother said so, it was probably true.

Chisato recounted everything that had happened at the academy today to Kagami Uchiha in full detail. She really wanted to know what her brother thought of it.

"You handled this well."

"Kyo was instilled with those ideas by his grandfather from a young age. It can't be changed overnight."

Chisato nodded at that. She roughly understood some of the matters within the clan.

The group of old men led by Uchiha Kyo's grandfather were all followers of Madara Uchiha.

Every day, they incited the clan members to leave Konoha and follow Madara Uchiha.

"Uchiha belongs to Konoha. That's a very good statement."

Torikaze's words happened to align perfectly with Kagami's own beliefs.

Kagami held considerable prestige among the younger members of the Uchiha Clan.

They respected Madara Uchiha, but they did not follow him fanatically. Instead, they wanted to truly integrate into the village and develop the clan into something greater.

This voice had originally been very weak, but ever since Kagami Uchiha became Tobirama Senju's disciple, the number of people following him had gradually increased.

Most of them had grown weary of endless conflict and wanted to live peaceful lives in the village.

They firmly believed that as long as Kagami Uchiha grew stronger, they would surely succeed!

"This Torikaze is a child with ideas. He'll definitely achieve something in the future."

"Does Brother think so highly of Torikaze?"

Kagami Uchiha nodded. Especially that line—Uchiha belongs to Konoha—had deeply moved him.

This was also what he had been striving to achieve. Neither the village nor the Uchiha needed war anymore.

He planned to report this matter to Master tomorrow. If Torikaze was fortunate enough to receive Master's guidance, he would surely benefit greatly from it.

But in Kagami Uchiha's view, Lord Hokage and Master had probably noticed Torikaze long ago.

"Chisato, get along well with this friend of yours."

"I suddenly have a feeling that he may be the key to whether we succeed."

Chisato had not expected her brother to think so highly of Torikaze. But she already had a favorable impression of him, so she readily agreed to her brother's request.

"Get some rest early, Chisato. You still have class tomorrow."

"Mm. You too, Brother."

While Chisato and her brother enjoyed a warm nighttime chat, Torikaze stared at the system notification on his personal panel, not knowing what to say.

Name: Torikaze

Age: 6

Strength/Chakra: Chunin/1 Cal

Kekkei Genkai: Crystal Release, Cloud Release (Progress: 55%)

Talent: All Chakra Natures, Genius

Tranquility Points/Chaos Points: 3100/5

365 days until the Chaos Event: Madara Uchiha's Rebellion.

According to the system prompt, Madara Uchiha would attack Konoha one year from now, then ultimately be defeated and "killed" in his final battle against Hashirama Senju.

But even a year from now, Torikaze would only be a Jonin at best! He would be completely useless!

Top Transformed Buddha, Nine-Tails Susanoo! Was that kind of grand battle something an Ordinary Person could take part in?

"This is really a bit troublesome."

What if the system directly judged the mission a failure when the time came and added seventy or eighty Chaos Points, sending him straight back to square one?

The five Chaos Points he had gained from killing that Kumogakure Spy last time had not even dropped by one point after an entire month!

If it suddenly rose by seventy or eighty points, he could practically declare his life over.

At that moment, Torikaze suddenly remembered something.

When he had exchanged for the Genius talent last month, he seemed to have seen something incredible in the Shop! It had just been very expensive!

"Though it's expensive, if I want to interfere in the final battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, this is the only way."

Now that he had settled on a solution, he needed to consider how to obtain Tranquility Points. That item alone cost a full sixty thousand Tranquility Points!

Torikaze anxiously scratched his head, wishing Konoha's streets were full of Spies from other countries!

So he could kill one every day! He only begged the Second Hokage not to come up with any more schemes.

"I should wander the streets more often from now on. Maybe I'll really catch a Spy or something."

"Time to sleep. Dreams have everything."

With that wonderful wish in mind, Torikaze fell peacefully asleep.

And in the Konoha of his dreams, even Hashirama Senju was a Spy sent by another country! Everyone trusted me, but I betrayed everyone. This is what it means to be Hokage!

He also tossed aside the question of how to earn Tranquility Points. After all, life came first; he could not put the cart before the horse. That was Torikaze's rule.

Just as the people of Konoha were gradually falling asleep, the lights in the Hokage Office were still on.

Sarutobi Mizuya was reporting the events at the academy today to Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju's expression had initially been solemn, but it gradually turned into a gratified smile.

"Is that so? That's what Torikaze said?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage. Although Torikaze is young, his thinking is very flexible."

"Although Maruboshi Kosuke has decent talent, he is too impulsive. Uchiha Kyo provoked him with just a few words."

Hashirama Senju nodded. No matter the situation, maintaining a calm mind was the most important thing.

The angrier one became, the more one had to force oneself to calm down. Still, there was no need to be too demanding of children who had only just entered the academy.

"Hot-blooded impulsiveness is a common problem for children their age. It will improve gradually as they learn. It's no big deal."

"Train them well. These children are the pillars of Konoha's future!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

After that, Sarutobi Mizuya reported several other matters, as well as plans for future lessons.

Hashirama Senju simply waved a hand and told him to handle it himself, saying that he trusted his abilities. Then he let him go back and rest.

"Everyone is working hard for our dream. Where are you now?"

Outside the window, Konoha had already sunk into the night, with lights still shining in only a handful of homes.

At that moment, Hashirama felt his heart brimming full, as though the exhaustion of the entire day had been swept away.

"For all the clan members who follow me, I will use these hands to create peace!"

A powerful aura surged into the sky, shaking cracks across the walls!

If anyone had been nearby, they would likely have been knocked unconscious by that overwhelming presence!

Not long after, Hashirama suddenly scratched his head and laughed. "Hahaha, I got a little too emotional."

Looking at the cracked walls, he felt somewhat apologetic. It seemed he would have to trouble the repair crew again.

"I should go home, or Mito will get angry again."

It seemed that even the God of Shinobi, whose might shook the Shinobi World, was nothing more than an ordinary husband.
