Uchiha Are Noble

Kamui!

As space warped around her, Kushina Uzumaki felt a wave of dizziness wash over her vision.

By the time she came to her senses, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

As far as the eye could see, the land was flat.

Patches of slightly yellowed, unknown plants stretched out in every direction, while several people wearing straw hats occasionally walked around nearby.

"Yuzuru, where are we?"

Looking at the scenery, which was completely different from the Land of Fire, Kushina Uzumaki could not help asking.

"The Land of Fields." Uchiha Yuzuru smiled. "Kushina, this will be our temporary base."

"Really?!"

A delighted expression appeared on Kushina Uzumaki's face.

She had thought escaping Konoha would be extremely difficult, yet the plan had been completed after she merely slept a few times.

"Yuzuru, what are we doing now?"

"We're going to meet up with my clansmen."

Kushina Uzumaki immediately nodded.

During their journey, she had already learned all of Uchiha Yuzuru's plans. Naturally, she also knew that all the Uchiha clansmen had gathered in the Land of Fields.

Thinking about how the Uchiha Clan had chosen to leave only after becoming utterly disappointed in Konoha, just like she had, Kushina Uzumaki felt a greater sense of kinship with them.

"Yuzuru, what are all these things? Why are there so many of them?"

"Are those people in straw hats walking back and forth on the road patrolling?"

Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's question, Uchiha Yuzuru replied calmly, "They're called wheat. The flour we eat is processed from wheat."

"As for those people walking around... it'll soon be the autumn harvest season, so they need to prevent fires."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded excitedly. "So that's how it is."

Along the way, Kushina Uzumaki was like a curious child, asking about everything she saw.

Uchiha Yuzuru patiently answered all her questions.

Though they were all matters of common knowledge, they were full of novelty to Kushina Uzumaki.

An autumn breeze swept past, and Kushina Uzumaki spread her arms and took a deep breath.

She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted toward the open fields, "It smells like freedom!"

Ever since she had been designated as the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she had not felt this carefree in a very long time.

Seeing the lively girl practically skipping as she walked, Uchiha Yuzuru could not help smiling as well.

That was the feeling—just like an anime.

When Uchiha Yuzuru and Kushina Uzumaki arrived at the Uchiha Clan's transfer site, rows upon rows of brand-new wooden houses came into view.

Children played about, women cooked, and men busied themselves with tools in hand.

The elderly sat together, squinting as they watched everything before them.

Suddenly, someone cried out, "Lord Yuzuru! Lord Yuzuru is here!"

In an instant, everyone dropped what they were doing and gathered around them.

"Lord Yuzuru, it's wonderful that you're unharmed. We were so worried about you."

"Your house has already been built. It's a little simple, so please don't mind it."

"Thanks to the lumber you prepared in advance, we didn't have to sleep out in the open."

"Lord Yuzuru, I'll go inform the clan head right away."

Uchiha Yuzuru had already become "Lord Yuzuru" in the mouths of the Uchiha clansmen. After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan and safely transporting every clansman to the Land of Fields, his prestige was not much lower than Uchiha Tarou's.

"Yuzuru, you go take care of things first. I'll look around."

"Mm. Go find Mikoto and stay with her. I'll come find you later."

After parting with Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yuzuru entered a house in the center.

Uchiha Tarou and Uchiha Fugaku immediately got to their feet and rushed over, giving Uchiha Yuzuru's shoulders a hearty pat.

"Yuzuru, you weren't hurt, were you?"

Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head. "How have things been these past few days?"

Uchiha Tarou had Uchiha Fugaku pour some water, then sat down with Uchiha Yuzuru before saying, "Fortunately, the daimyo of the Land of Fields sent us supplies and tools, and even found many craftsmen to help us build houses."

"Other than the rather rough conditions, everything has more or less gotten on track."

As they spoke, Uchiha Fugaku sat down beside them as well. Somewhat moved, he said, "The Daimyo of the Land of Fields is truly a good man. Not only did he not blame our Uchiha Clan, he even spent a fortune helping us so much."

Uchiha Yuzuru replied calmly, "I used genjutsu to control the Daimyo of the Land of Fields."

"Huh?!"

"Cough, cough cough..."

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Tarou choked on their water and began coughing violently.

They had been wondering why the lofty daimyo had shown such kindness to outsiders like them. So it was because of Yuzuru...

After a long while, Uchiha Tarou finally calmed down and said with a bitter smile, "Yuzuru, you really are bold."

Daimyo were the most honored people in the Shinobi World, while shinobi were merely tools at the very bottom.

Using genjutsu to control a daimyo...

It was simply turning the natural order upside down.

If word got out, the Uchiha Clan would likely become a target of public condemnation.

Yet Uchiha Yuzuru did not care. He took a sip of water and said calmly, "Daimyo are like parasites. Sooner or later, I'll wipe out every last one of them."

"Gasp!!!"

Uchiha Tarou and Uchiha Fugaku both drew in sharp breaths.

Wipe out the daimyo?

That was far too insane, wasn't it?

Seeing their shock, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled. "You don't need to worry. This will require a long time to prepare. We should focus on what's in front of us first."

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku quietly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Yuzuru, what do you plan to do next?"

"Our presence in the Land of Fields can't be hidden for long. Someone will definitely come looking for us." Uchiha Yuzuru smiled. "Whichever village offers the best terms, that's the village we'll join!"

The situation in the Shinobi World was ever-changing, and the Uchiha Clan possessed the coveted Sharingan.

If they did not choose a powerful shinobi village, it would be difficult for the Uchiha Clan to gain an opportunity to develop in peace.

Everything else was secondary. Increasing their population was the true priority!

Besides...

Uchiha Yuzuru also wanted to see the expressions on the faces of those who despised the Uchiha when the Uchiha led shinobi from another village into Konoha.

After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's plans, Uchiha Fugaku asked somewhat uncertainly, "Yuzuru, would any village really be willing to accept us?"

Uchiha Yuzuru snorted. "Fugaku, as an Uchiha, you must raise your noble head and hold your proud chest high."

"Remember this: no matter when, our Uchiha Clan will always be someone every other shinobi village strives to win over."

"We... are the noblest clan!"

Looking at Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Fugaku felt an unprecedented emotion rise within him.

The pride carved into his bones, the confidence he carried no matter the circumstances.

Especially that air of looking down upon the whole world...

This was a true Uchiha!

Compared to Yuzuru, he truly fell far, far short.
