For the Sake of the Clan, I'll Bear It All Alone!

The entire Uchiha clan stared blankly at the three people on the platform...

"Aosui", with Obito, Shisui...

What happened to the Sharingan being Kekkei Genkai that even the Uchiha struggled to awaken?

Countless elites have honed their skills for many years before finally managing to unlock the Three-Tomoe...

How come these three guys' Sharingan seems adjustable, activating and changing at will?

Is this reasonable?

Uchiha Isshin was completely stunned.

Isshin is someone who doesn't like to believe in metaphysics; he prefers calm thinking.

But the problem is...

Since "Aosui" came to the Uchiha Clan, the clan has truly produced many talented individuals and is thriving!

How long has it been since we've seen Uchiha with this kind of talent?

Three at once!

Shisui goes without saying; he was a genius to begin with.

Obito, who was originally a Dead Last and not Isshin paid much attention to, suddenly became Two-Tomoe in less than a year after he started hanging out with Shisui and Aosui...

This truly made Isshin feel that "Aosui" was the chosen one to revive the Uchiha Clan!

In particular, Isshin learned from Uzumaki Shio that "Aosui" most likely possesses "Ancestor's Blessing"...

After a moment of reaction, Isshin suddenly stood up and rushed to Senju Tobirama's side.

"What... what are you doing?"

"Force yourself to open your eyes? I don't know how you did it..."

Isshin pointed at the bloodstains under Senju Tobirama's eyelids, his arm trembling slightly.

"But it will definitely cause a lot of harm to your body. You must never be so reckless again!"

"We Uchiha have plenty of time to wait for you to grow, so don't do that again!"

Isshin was genuinely afraid that "Aosui" would get to him and ruin his promising future, wasting his potential...

Even the Mangekyō Sharingan needs to conserve its Dojutsu Power after activation; it can't be used so recklessly!

On the other hand, a surge of identification welled up in Isshin's heart.

This is what a leader of the Uchiha Clan should be like!

Without that fierce, manic energy, being too calm, how could he be like an Uchiha?

When the Young Clan Leader Izuna fought Senju Tobirama, he looked more like a madman than anyone else.

Otherwise, how could gentleness alone possibly intimidate the arrogant Uchiha?

The other tribesmen were also afraid of Izuna's swift blade...

Similar thoughts to Isshin's also began to arise in the minds of the Uchiha.

The ruthless fear the fierce, and the fierce fear the reckless...

"Shisui, Obito, I'm alright..."

Senju Tobirama patted the two kids' heads, gesturing for them to go back, and smiled at Uchiha Tsuru:

Why aren't you saying anything?

"I'm asking you, do I have the right to comment on the Sharingan now? Can you continue?" The smile vanished abruptly, and the tone turned fierce.

Uchiha Tsuru nodded silently, and after a moment spoke, "I'm sorry..."

He never expected things to turn out this way.

"Sit down."

Senju Tobirama waved his hand. "Everyone, please don't take this to heart. I should have proven myself. Uchiha Tsuru's doubts are not without reason. "Uchiha Tsuru was taken aback. It felt like a sliced orange had rolled through his heart, leaving him with a sour and unpleasant feeling.

He deserves to die!

Uchiha Madara, who witnessed this scene, downed the entire bottle of sake in one gulp.

That felt so good!

This figure is not exactly the same as Izuna's back then, but you could say it's about 98% similar!

Be ruthless when necessary, and also be lenient when appropriate...

What pleased Uchiha Madara the most was that the extreme drive shown by "Aosui" meant that as long as he disappointed Konoha, he would definitely agree with his perfect Eye of the Moon Plan!

No one understood the genius Uchiha better than him...

If Izuna were here, he would definitely agree with his Eye of the Moon Plan!

"When I mentioned the negative effects of the Sharingan, it wasn't to stigmatize the clan, but rather to emphasize the need to face the gains and losses that bloodlines bring us." "When I was questioned just now, I also felt a surge of emotion; I myself am a prime example."

Senju Tobirama sighed:

"Therefore, I only hope that when our people gain unimaginable power in the future, if they want to do anything, they will sit down with me and our relatives and friends and talk to each other, giving each other a chance to communicate."

"We are family, we are partners, there is nothing that you have to bear alone."

Senju Tobirama Uchiha.

The Uchiha were taken aback, then stood up and bowed to Senju Tobirama.

At this moment...

In the hearts of every Uchiha, "Aosui" was at least a person worthy of respect.

Uchiha Madara watched this scene with mixed feelings.

Why did he feel like he was being hinted at?

But Uchiha Madara, consumed by extreme obsession, managed to justify his actions with a strange kind of logic. "Isn't that what I'm doing—finding a successor? And communicating with my clansmen, um..."

"I'm fine!"

It can only be said that, in terms of both strength and obsession, Uchiha Madara was among the best in his clan.

"Next, there's one last question..."

"How can we know if the Hokage Uchiha Clan accepts us, encourages us to put aside our prejudices, and helps us actively integrate into the village?"

"We are all reasonable people, and we Uchiha have always valued clear-cut love and hate!"

Senju Tobirama was heating up the atmosphere.

The Uchiha couldn't help but applaud, indicating their agreement.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was indeed a good Hokage...

However, historical barriers cannot be eliminated overnight.

Even if the reform of the Konoha Police Force is agreed upon, it doesn't carry enough weight.

After all, according to Senju Tobirama's interpretation, this is a correction.

"I believe that genuine acceptance of the Uchiha has nothing to do with becoming Hokage, but rather that the Uchiha Clan can speak out like other Ninja Clan and point out the village's problems without being suppressed!"

"Fugaku and Isshin are both Konoha Committee Member, but do they dare to voice their opinions to the village now?"

"A slight misstep could lead to being labeled and silenced... Of course, this is based on historical judgment."

Isshin and Fugaku nodded in agreement.

Shimura Danzō does this kind of thing every Tenten; he stares at the two of them during every meeting...

"Therefore, we Uchiha must point out a major, objectively existing problem in the village and see how the Hokage responds and handles it..." "Let's see if he'll even let the Uchiha speak, and whether he considers us part of the village!"

Senju Tobirama:

"Clan Leader Isshin told me to slow down this process, but I don't think it's necessary..."

"If the Hokage truly harbors resentment towards the Uchiha, then time alone cannot erase it; if the Hokage is fair to the Uchiha, then let's settle things with actions. The Uchiha also love the village!"

"I believe the Uchiha's love is no less than that of any other Ninja Clan in Konoha!"

Extremely enthusiastic applause erupted, so loud that the walls trembled slightly.

Who doesn't like to be praised?

Especially since it was said by such a young hero from the same clan...

"Gentlemen, but just to be on the safe side..."

"This time, please let me handle it myself. Don't rush into a collective petition. After all, the Hokage is in charge of the entire village. If we go too far, it won't just be offering suggestions, but more like a coup..."

"Even if the Hokage trusted the Uchiha, he wasn't a person without a temper..."

Senju Tobirama timely poured cold water on the situation.

Fugaku couldn't help but speak up, "I agree with Aosui's opinion!"

"Although Lord Third is a kind man, he is not weak. If he misunderstands that we are not offering fair advice, but rather disrupting the village's order..."

"I have a feeling something very bad is going to happen."

Yixin glanced at Fugaku Isshin surprise. It seemed like he'd grown a little brain.

This is finally the first time I've read a book!

What Isshin didn't know was...

This was simply because Fugaku had witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi fighting Orochimaru, and in his perception, Hiruzen Sarutobi was far stronger than before. Having also participated in the military operation against Kusagakure, he had experienced firsthand the strength of several formidable figures under the Hokage's command.

If this kind-hearted Hokage is pushed too far, he might just flip the table and settle scores.

Fugaku felt that with the Uchiha's current strength, something terrible was about to happen...

"Brother Fugaku is right."

"I chose to expose the village's problems, which is rather extreme, so I took that into consideration."

Upon Senju Tobirama's words, the Uchiha all felt a chill run down their spines.

Aosui thinks it's extreme?

"I have gathered a lot of evidence from my classmates at the Ninja Academy and from the Patrol Force ninjas that Shimura Danzō violated the Will of Fire during his time with Root. He forced a large number of ninjas to join Root."

"Although he doesn't seem to have done anything like that recently."

"But that doesn't mean the matter is over..."

Senju Tobirama slowly said:

"Just like the matter of the Great Clan Leader, historical issues must be resolved sooner or later, otherwise they'll be a ticking time bomb." "As everyone knows, Namikaze Minato is currently very popular in the village; many consider him the leading figure of Konoha's new generation." "Around the time I graduate, I will challenge him to a duel and defeat him to make a name for myself."

"At the same time, the Hokage will also help in my fight against Namikaze Minato; I've already confirmed this with Asuma..."

Some of the Uchiha looked puzzled.

Senju Tobirama sighed:

"It's not about using Namikaze Minato to intimidate me, but about setting an example and benchmark, which helps to unite people and inspire the younger generation. It's about encouraging the village from a specific point, and actually helping me gain fame..."

Senju Tobirama suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The Uchiha opposed him in the past, partly because of hatred and historical issues, but perhaps partly because they were genuinely a bit stupid... Without anyone to explain things to them, they would start to think wildly and in the wrong direction.

For a moment, a thought that surprised even himself popped into Senju Tobirama's mind.

"If that bastard had survived, and Konoha had managed to rebuild, managing the Uchiha might have been more difficult, but they could have contributed more to the village, preventing internal strife..."

Senju Tobirama steadied himself and continued:

"I will Danzo impeach Danzo!"

"If the Hokage can openly discuss Danzo's issues instead of silencing me, then it means he genuinely accepts the Uchiha!"

"We should also give our true hearts to the village!" Senju Tobirama subtly implied his own agenda.

"This is what is meant by the will of the Great Clan Leader."

Next, Senju Tobirama relayed to his clansmen what he had said to Danzo that day.

The gist is...

The core of the duel between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama lay in their concerns about the future of their clans.

However, such extreme methods should be avoided, skipping even the negotiation process...

We should learn from Uchiha Madara's spirit and will to dare to point out the village's problems.

However, we must also be wary of overreacting, which could turn what should have been a better thing for the Uchiha and the village into a tragedy that brings pain to our own people and joy to our enemies. This interpretation has been widely praised by the Uchiha clan members.

No Uchiha wanted to deny Uchiha Madara, but none of them wanted to repeat the tragedy of the past.

After all, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, the Uchiha members didn't have as much discontent.

Therefore, some members of the clan have expressed concerns.

Is it a bit too much to target Danzo?

After all, that was Danzo!

In the eyes of the Uchiha, Danzo was like Hiruzen Sarutobi's younger brother, a brother and right-hand man who grew up together.

It's the shadow that follows the Hokage.

"Aosui, isn't this a bit too extreme...?"

Uchiha Hono pondered for a moment before speaking, "Objectively speaking, although Danzo did many wrong things, he also made contributions to Konoha." "Furthermore, everyone has friends and brothers; Danzo with the Lord Hokage is rather special..."

"Take our clan for example. If our family members or brothers make a mistake, I would be biased in all fairness."

Fugaku nodded.

That's really true...

He has a son now, so if Itachi does something wrong in the future, he will try his best to forgive him...

Of course, one must also be tempered, but these are two different things.

In Konoha today, the idea of "comparing merits and demerits" is not yet clearly defined.

Due to the external pressure caused by war, military strength is an extremely scarce resource.

Therefore, skilled ninjas possess a vague privilege to make mistakes, and most ninjas believe that "merits and demerits" can offset each other to a certain extent. This is also the problem that Hiruzen Sarutobi is preparing to address next.

The responsibilities and powers of ninjas were refined to establish a systematic and institutionalized system for Konoha's military discipline and order.

"Yeah, Aosui, how about we find someone else?" Even Uchiha Tsuru couldn't help but speak up.

Isshin sighed as well; the risk was simply too great.

"No, Danzo."

"Only Danzo has obvious problems, and that's the best test of the Hokage's feelings for the Uchiha clan."

"I know this is an extreme view, so if the Hokage doesn't show excessive favoritism towards Danzo this time, I urge everyone to genuinely serve the village; otherwise, it would appear that your clan is being extremely disrespectful..."

That's why I said I'd do it all by myself.

Senju Tobirama slowly said:

"If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility and bear all the blame!"

"It's just a life, but if it can help the clan see the true nature of Konoha, then it's worth it."

The Uchiha were visibly shocked.

This means taking all the blame!

Shisui and Obito were both sweating profusely with anxiety...

They used to think their brother was calm, but when he goes crazy, it's truly terrifying!

The idea of someone constantly challenging the Hokage's assistant is far too outrageous for a Ninja Academy student.

"However, you all need not worry about me."

"I know that although many people in the village still have a bad impression of Danzo, their opinion of him has changed somewhat because of the Hokage's commendation. Shisui and Obito told me about this..."

"Uncle Hono was commended that time, right?"

Uchiha Hono nodded:

"That's right... Although I despise Danzo, it's inevitable that people will become deformed if they are immersed in darkness for a long time."

Senju Tobirama smiled:

"So, I gave him a way out! He tried to take me on as his apprentice many times, but I refused."

"If things go our way, then when Danzo is about to fall, I will go and talk to him again about being his disciple."

"I was the one who initiated the impeachment, and by showing a conciliatory attitude, I can quell most of the doubts."

"In this way, the village won't lose a powerful fighter, and I'll gain the title of being Hokage Faction. Danzo will also find it difficult to coerce me using the master-disciple relationship."

"With this title, the Uchiha can be considered to have officially entered the upper echelons of society."

"This is a win-win situation..."

The Uchiha were stunned for a while before they slowly caught up with Senju Tobirama's train of thought.

By attacking first and then winning them over, they not only gain fame and vent their anger, but also manage to reap the reputation of getting something for nothing.

Although the title of Danzo's disciple sounds somewhat strange.

However, given their high seniority, there are tangible benefits to avoiding being bound by that title...

The dangers involved are beyond description; every step is fraught with peril!

If any link in the chain goes wrong, the Uchiha Clan will be relatively safe, but "Aosui" will surely be doomed!

The Uchiha looked at Senju Tobirama with concern, wanting to try and persuade him further.

"For the sake of our people, I will shoulder this responsibility... You need not say more!"

Senju Tobirama:

"If you're going to do something, do it to the extreme! That's in line with the Uchiha style. I despise mediocrity!"

now.

"Next, Aosui!" Isshin called out loudly, throwing Izuna's Katana over.

That "Dōenmaru" offered by Kirigakure.

Senju Tobirama took it with one hand, a thought flashing through his mind.

This looks like that guy's knife...

Where did this come from...?

With a thought, Chakra channeled his Senju Tobirama and assumed the classic sword-wielding stance of Izuna Uchiha.

The blood flowing from under his eyelids had long since congealed, and the flames and Tomoe on the knife reflected that dark red.

His words made Senju Tobirama appear as if he were an Uchiha who had just come from the battlefield.

But they must immediately draw their swords and charge forward, ready to fight their opponents to their hearts' content once again!

But in the eyes of those Uchiha who knew Izuna...

This moment.

The two figures were practically overlapping!

The Uchiha stood up.

A heartfelt tribute to the "Aosui" people who dared to risk their lives...

Uchiha Madara moved, something he hadn't done in a long time.

Aosui looks so much like Izuna...

Especially through a series of unexpected events, they even obtained the sword that Izuna had forged before his death...

The thought of his plan to drive Aosui to the brink of madness even made him feel a pang of reluctance.

"It's all for the Uchiha, to bring ultimate peace to the Shinobi World..."

Uchiha Madara drank another glass of strong liquor and, slightly annoyed, closed the link with White Zetsu.
