Make Konoha Great Again

Konoha, beside the Ninja Academy playground.

Tokuma Hyuga glanced at Yun beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Did you eat something that upset your stomach?"

Yun rubbed his abdomen, shook his head, and replied, "No, just feeling a bit unwell."

Izumi, standing nearby, looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, do you want to go back and rest? I can help you ask the teacher for leave."

Yun smiled and ruffled Izumi's hair: "I'm fine, it was just a fleeting moment. By the way, why didn't Hana come today?"

Tokuma replied, "I heard there was some trouble with the dog at home, seems like it had diarrhea, so..."

"So Sister Hana needs to take care of the dog?" Izumi wrinkled her nose.

The leisurely time at the Ninja Academy passed quickly; Yun, having caught up on some sleep, even left a Shadow Clone behind and slipped away in the afternoon.

On the mountain behind the Hokage Rock, Yun rubbed his abdomen again. With his mind split in two, all information from his clone, Sora, was shared.

Because of this, the doubts regarding Obito had been rising in Yun's heart since just a moment ago.

Although, in truth, the plot meant nothing to him, the emergence of such unexpected situations really introduced many variables.

Given the neural reaction speed he had inherited from Minato Namikaze, Obito's reaction speed could not possibly be faster than his own; the battle during the Nine Tails Incident in his memories was proof of that.

Yet the fact remained that the moment he flashed out using the Flying Thunder God, whether it was the iron chains or the Great Fireball Technique, it was clear that Obito had known his position in advance.

And the subsequent return after leaving proved that this ability was not a passive one, meaning his reaction speed far exceeded his own.

Then, it must be an active skill.

The timing was just right? This sentence also contained a great deal of meaning.

"Yun, you're early."

Shisui, who had arrived via Body Flicker from not far away, interrupted Yun's train of thought.

Pushing aside the things he hadn't yet figured out, Yun smiled and replied, "Don't be so serious. If everything goes smoothly, we can start tomorrow."

Shisui shook his head slightly, performed hand seals, and a four-sided barrier rose up.

Only after the barrier was set did Shisui look at Yun and say, "It's better to be careful when there's no barrier. After all, many people in the clan don't understand our way of thinking."

Yun looked at the surrounding barrier and nodded: "It is precisely because of that that I need the power of your eyes. The Uchiha are not all lunatics, and children as young as little Sasuke should not have their fates gambled away."

In fact, during this period after Fugaku had been killed and before Itachi had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, if it weren't for the desire to control the entire Uchiha clan with minimal attrition, it wouldn't have been impossible to simply wipe out the entire Hawk Faction.

Decades had passed since the founding of Konoha, and the majority of the Uchiha were part of the Hawk Faction, many of whom were ordinary civilians.

Take the owners of the Uchiha Rice Cracker Shop, for example; although the two were very kind, the one who made decisions and represented them at clan meetings was none other than Nanadai Uchiha.

"Tomorrow? There is a clan meeting in seven days; let's set the time for then."

After Shisui finished speaking, he looked at Yun: "Sometimes I am actually quite curious, curious about what kind of secrets you, Yun, possess. As it stands, you haven't awakened the Sharingan, yet you claim that after tomorrow, you will possess decisive power."

"Decisive power—the only thing I can see on you is the Mangekyō Sharingan. Once we possess two pairs of Mangekyō, our influence will be different, whether at the clan meeting or before the Fourth."

"Although I said from the beginning that I wouldn't ask you, is it really possible to go directly from having no eyes awakened to the Mangekyō?"

Yun smiled and replied, "You should understand the awakening of the Sharingan very well. When you lose something or someone important, a certain power emerges in the visual nerves of the brain."

"It is precisely this power that stimulates the awakening of the Sharingan, and the bloodline... is a genetic disease. Atavism, bloodline, abnormal energy. Which one do you think I am?"

Shisui shook his head: "I don't know. But in these past two years, the things you've said to me have truly made me understand many things, so I am willing to believe you."

Yun looked ahead, seemingly gazing through the dense trees at the village of Konoha beneath the Hokage Rock.

In truth, when he first arrived, he only wanted to survive in this terrifying world.

If possible, to live happily as a family. To farm in Konoha, not be a ninja. To be resurrected after Pain's assault, then be hung on a tree to have a sweet dream, and then be let down to continue farming.

"Believe? That this power would appear in you, an Uchiha... you truly are a successor to Kagami Uchiha."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Shisui: "The Fourth is able to trust you; perhaps this identity played a significant role."

With that non-sequitur, Shisui let out a sigh of relief.

"Hoo... the clan meeting in seven days. Yun, you come with me then."

As Shisui's voice faded, he vanished in a Body Flicker, and the barrier that had shrouded the area disappeared.

Under the veil of night, Yun stood on the Hokage Rock, looking down at the village below.

Konoha had been changed a great deal by him, but fortunately, everything was moving in a positive direction.

If the third transaction tonight could go smoothly, then whether it was the Rinnegan or the Mangekyō, the internal problems of the Uchiha would be solved in one fell swoop.

And after that...

Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, I hope you don't let me down.

Those who can become Hokage are never soft-hearted people; even regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen, there is still no consensus on how many schemes that group used when the Second died.

Lost in thought, Yun's gaze turned toward the base of the Hokage Building.

Although the Root Division, which carried the great tree and absorbed its nutrients, had existed in darkness for years, the true roots of a great tree should be clean.

Konoha, Root Division.

"Is that the only thing you have to report?"

Danzo's voice rang out, and the Root Division ninja kneeling on one knee below replied, "Uchiha Shisui's vigilance is extremely high; my summoning beast was repelled by the barrier he set up."

Putting down the intelligence in his hand, Danzo's gaze darkened. "He doesn't even lower his guard against a common rat? Withdraw. Continue monitoring Uchiha Yun and Uchiha Shisui."

The ninja in the shadows retreated, and Danzo gripped the scroll in his hand.

Can it begin tomorrow?

If everything goes smoothly?

Is that Uchiha called Yun even more of a genius than Itachi? Why does Uchiha Shisui constantly converse with him?

Given such high levels of vigilance, what exactly are they planning?

The plan must be accelerated; the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan must be grasped by Konoha, and by my own hands!

Hiruzen, you are too weak.

Whether it is the Nine Tails or the Uchiha, power that is not held firmly in one's own hands is never stable.

Only when I become Hokage can Konoha be made great again!
