"Remember, I am not your father, and I will not show you mercy repeatedly."
"If you continue targeting me, I guarantee you'll die a horrible death."
As he spoke, Yuto drew the Kusanagi Sword that his father had once possessed.
By Reversal Cause and Effect, he decisively defeated Tobirama Senju, achieving victory in the duel.
This means that Senju will completely withdraw from the race for the Second Hokage.
Strengthen your own strength and use your Dojutsu unexpectedly to create opportunities for victory.
It can be said that Tobirama was outmaneuvered by him from beginning to end.
Even if he used some tricks, he absolutely deserved to lose. As for not using any of his abilities, he could only Little Six himself for being stupid.
If this were a battlefield, his dog's head would have been Yuto off by now.
What's the use of complaining?
Because he understood this principle, Tobirama didn't say much. He looked deeply at the boy in front of him, and in a daze, he seemed to see the figure who once dominated the Warring States Period.
"Like father, like son, very good." With the Flying Thunder God Technique activated, Little Six disappeared from the training ground.
He lost to a junior in the competition today, and even though he has a thick skin, he can't stay here any longer.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of vulgarities those cheering Uchiha might have uttered.
As for Uchiha Yuto's warning, it was nothing but a joke to Tobirama.
Even his father couldn't do anything about him, so what could a mere brat like him possibly do?
To reiterate, the Uchiha is Konoha's greatest hidden threat, and as the future leader of the Senju Clan, Tobirama needs to remain vigilant at all times.
He must be prepared to deal with any unusual moves by these evil fellows in the future.
The brat's Dojutsu is quite good, but Tobirama is, after all, a veteran super strongman. If they were to face each other again, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break through the strange hit effect.
A guaranteed hit doesn't necessarily mean a guaranteed kill, does it?
To everyone's surprise, Tobirama Senju was defeated by his junior.
In an instant, Uchiha Yuto's reputation soared.
Many enthusiasts even called him the strongest Uchiha of his generation.
Yuto readily accepted the praise from the outside world.
His reputation would help him protect his family and show those with ill intentions that even without his father, he was capable of killing any enemy.
With Yayoi's help, Yuto's Sage Body level has been steadily improving.
Through gene cloning, she even replicated the Sharingan with a 97% similarity. Although its effectiveness was somewhat lacking, it could help the little guy increase the upper limit of his pupil power.
The process was somewhat slow, but it was still more appropriate than the method Kyosuke had initially adopted.
With her full support, the Uchiha will gain another invincible Super Kage Level Shinobi World within ten years.
In the latter half of the eighth year of Konoha, Yayoi Hyuga officially succeeded as the Second Hokage.
The Hyuga Clan's prestige has soared, and they are gradually showing signs of becoming the largest clan in Konoha.
There's no way around it; the Byakugan's awakening rate is already high, not to mention they've combined it with the Chakra of the Lunar Ōtsutsuki.
It's no exaggeration to say that every new generation of strong members in the Hyuga possesses talent comparable to that of Hyuga Neji.
Some exceptional individuals may even have the potential to awaken the Tenseigan in the future. In the long run, it's possible that no Family in Konoha could truly rival them.
As the saying goes, science and technology are the primary productive forces. With Yayoi's formidable scientific research capabilities as support, it would be strange if the Hyuga were not strong.
Of course, the Uchiha also enjoyed many benefits. With the help of gradually diluted Sage Cells, any clan member who reached the age of ten could forcibly awaken the Sharingan through external force.
Not only has their Chakra increased, but their physical abilities have also surpassed those of the past. It can be said that both races are developing towards greater strength.
In contrast, the Senju Clan's situation was much more dire.
As the heads of the Police Department, they appear very powerful on the surface, but in reality, they have long been in a Perilous Times state.
Not to mention the large number of civilians, even the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans don't really like them.
Aside from Sarutobi and Shimura, there were several other small clans, leaving the Senju completely isolated and helpless in Konoha.
Yuto's attitude was that he should just find a way to kill them outright, but his proposal was rejected by both Izuna and Yayoi.
"Don't forget, that person is still alive," Izuna sighed softly.
Indeed, even with Kyosuke's death and Madara Uchiha's retreat from the world, Hashirama Senju still had a breath left.
Although Big Pillar was in poor condition and no longer possessed his former invincible prowess, no one in Konoha dared to underestimate him.
"Never mind." Knowing that it wouldn't be so easy to eliminate the Yuto Senju, Yuto turned his attention to another problem.
Konoha's power is now weak and its deterrent force is far less than before, which will inevitably attract the attention of other countries.
Once upon a time, Konoha was so powerful and domineering that the mighty Kumogakure was almost driven back home like a dog.
Who can guarantee that another God of Shinobi won't emerge in the Land of Fire in the future?
The Raikage, who hates Konoha the most, has begun secretly contacting various parties to gradually test Konoha's strengths and weaknesses.
If there were even the slightest opportunity, it's safe to say that it wouldn't be just Kumogakure that would be willing to send troops.
Reto of Sunagakure is a complete hypocrite; when Kyosuke was around, he acted like a good neighbor.
Now that the strongest deterrent force has disappeared, he is the first person to respond to the Raikage's call.
While discussing countermeasures with them, the Raikage kept reminding himself that he must be careful of such fickle and treacherous people as Sunagakure in the future.
Konoha was not unaware of these matters.
Unwilling to accept being targeted, Yayoi began to communicate with Iwagakure and Kirigakure, who maintained neutrality.
The former showed a good attitude, Tsuchikage even expressed his desire to be sent as an envoy to Konoha to learn about its advanced management practices.
The latter, however, remained completely tight-lipped, leaving everyone wondering what he was trying to do.
We need to be wary of Kirigakure, but as for Iwagakure, Yayoi Hyuga would very much welcome them to visit Konoha.
"Befriend distant states while attacking nearby ones"... this was the strategic policy Kyosuke initially formulated.
Iwagakure and Kirigakure are separated by natural barriers, making it far from easy to start a war.
Therefore, these two Hidden Village should try to maintain good relations. Conversely, Cloud and Sunagakure should fight if possible, and even if they cannot be wiped out, they should at least weaken the enemy's manpower.
The saying "three parts military, seven parts economy" isn't entirely true in the Shinobi World, but it's enough to illustrate the importance of economic strength.
From a very early time, the Secret Shinobi Number One hidden in the Shinobi World began to exert economic control over the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning.
All of this was handed over to Uchiha Yuto, who truthfully informed Yayoi of everything and fully cooperated with the village to impose sanctions on the two countries.
Mid-month of the ninth year of Konoha.
Over the course of half a year, while other Hidden Village developed rapidly, only Sunagakure and Cloud gradually began to struggle.
The former, in particular, is hampered by the dust storms that hinder economic activity.
In the economic sphere, the Land of Fire launched a full-scale attack, and the Sunagakure Village's finances have been in dire straits for the past three months.
If they don't find a way to solve this, they will face utter ruin.
Beset by internal and external troubles, Sunagakure ultimately decided to use war to solve its economic problems.
The target, naturally, is the neighboring Land of Fire, which is rich in resources.
Of course, they weren't foolish enough to stand against Konoha on their own. Taking action was fine, but they first needed to gather allies.
The support of Kumogakure is not enough; what Reto truly desires is Iwagakure and Kirigakure.
The only way to get them to take action is to demonstrate Konoha's current weakness.
Thus, the First Five Kage Summit was convened.
On the surface, the five Hidden Village aim to establish trade and consolidate their absolute control.
While ensuring development, efforts should be made to limit the emergence of other small Hidden Village.
The First Kage had already secretly made a decision: they would use the Five Kage Summit to see for themselves what the Second Hokage was capable of.
If they truly don't live up to their reputation, then there's nothing more to say; the Four Great Hidden Villages might as well unite and divide up Konoha.
If they are very powerful... everyone has different ideas, and it's hard to say what will happen then.
The Five Kage Summit: the most anticipated event in the Shinobi World.
The location was chosen to be the Land of Samurai, a place free from war, where samurai and ninjas have historically had little interaction, making it a more reassuring choice for everyone.
When a village leader travels, he will definitely need guards to accompany him.
According to regulations, the maximum number of people in a team shall not exceed eight, and only two bodyguards are allowed to be present during the meeting.
The request was reasonable, and Konoha did not refuse. The current issue is who will become a member of Yayoi Hyuga's Shadow Guard.
"Count me in," Uchiha Chō calmly.
As the former Secret Shinobi Number Three, Butterfly is not only powerful, but also possesses all the qualities that an excellent spy should have.
With her around, many risks can be avoided without anyone noticing.
Another guard, Tobirama, had offered to go with the group, as he wanted to witness the Five Kage Summit firsthand.
Unfortunately, Yayoi completely ignored him and, after a moment's thought, decided to have Uchiha Yuto accompany her.
She could easily see through what those guys were thinking.
Wasn't the intention to test Konoha's true strength?
Alright, this time I'll let you test me to your heart's content.
With two Mangekyō Sharingan and an increasingly powerful Tenseigan, the combined strength of these three Dojutsu masters is quite a show of respect to the other Four Kage.
"Raikage A and Kazekage Reto are both people who have fought against Father before."
"If we can defeat them, it means we'll be one step closer to my father."
Sensing the murderous intent in Yuto's eyes, Yayoi thought for a moment but said nothing more.
She didn't really care about Konoha at all.
If Kyosuke hadn't insisted, she would never have accepted Tobirama Senju's invitation in the first place.
Forget about the big picture; if Yuto really wanted to take action, Yayoi would definitely support him.
If war is truly inevitable, then let's give it a try. She doesn't mind letting the Shinobi World know just how successful the ninja academy system has been.
"Go for it, I'll take care of everything." This was Yayoi's promise to the boy.
Yuto was deeply grateful for this, but he couldn't help but smile wryly.
He understood why all this was for; in Konoha, the number of men who wanted to pursue Aunt Yayoi could stretch from the village all the way to the Daimyo's Mansion.
As a result, without exception, all of them failed.
"Meeting my father once ruined my life," Yuto sighed sincerely.
