Restoring the Glory of the Uchiha

"You're awake."

Shisui felt pain radiating from every part of his body.

At the same time, his head felt like it was about to explode, and his vision was incredibly blurry, bordering on total blindness.

"Is the plan a success?"

Shisui remained silent for a moment, quickly realizing the situation.

He asked in a hoarse voice.

"We've tallied it up: eighteen dead, thirteen from the Police Force and five other clansmen."

"The memorial service was held yesterday."

Uchiha Tamaharu said, his tone somewhat dejected.

Although the casualties were fewer than expected, he still felt a lingering sense of unwillingness.

The main issue was that Konoha had been watching them too closely; otherwise, they could have escaped with zero casualties.

"Cough, cough, that's already quite good!"

Shisui let out a dry cough, then forced a smile as he spoke.

"Your injuries are severe, and the clan doesn't have any top-tier medical ninjas. After all, Konoha has always restricted us, so we only know basic healing techniques."

"But fortunately, Danzo didn't use poison this time, so you'll survive. You just need to rest for a while."

"By the way, that Mangekyō Sharingan of yours—we had it transplanted back into you while you were unconscious."

Uchiha Tamaharu said to Shisui.

Three days had passed since the day they fled.

The morale of the Uchiha was somewhat low, but because everyone had so much to do—like building houses, hunting, and so on—they didn't have much time to dwell on these things.

"I was wrong!"

"If I had trusted my clansmen from the very beginning, perhaps the Uchiha wouldn't have been driven to this point."

Shisui said earnestly to Uchiha Tamaharu.

Although he had agreed to the evacuation plan, he had still harbored fantasies about Konoha in his heart.

But now it seemed he had been too optimistic.

Konoha was indeed as dark as Uchiha Tamaharu had described!

What exactly had blinded his eyes in the past?

"There's no time for you to wallow in self-pity. Right now, the Uchiha needs helpers."

"In three days, I'm taking people out to sea. Relying solely on this island, the Uchiha might survive, but it's too primitive."

"I didn't bring everyone here to play at wilderness survival. I want to make the Uchiha stronger, and then, slaughter our way back to the ninja world!"

Uchiha Tamaharu had no intention of comforting him.

Instead, he spoke very directly.

Ten days had already passed since the system issued the mission. With a total of three months, there were eighty days remaining.

Within this timeframe, he had to become one of the Shichibukai or a major pirate with a bounty of over five hundred million.

At the same time, the nearly one thousand members of the Uchiha clan couldn't live like savages here; they needed to engage with the current society, conduct trade, and so on.

These were all things that needed to be done immediately.

"Understood. I will give everything to help the Uchiha clan."

Shisui gritted his teeth and said directly.

"To rebuild the glory of the Uchiha, you and I are duty-bound!"

Uchiha Tamaharu nodded, then looked at Shisui with a very solemn expression.

Shisui's face was moved, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

The Uchiha are still so easy to fool.

Uchiha Tamaharu thought, speechless.

However, he certainly didn't say those words out loud.

"Oh, right. Itachi has also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"When I brought you back that day, you were knocked unconscious by me and covered in blood."

"Itachi was responsible for the extraction point. Seeing you in that state, I told him you were dead, and he immediately awakened the Mangekyō, breaking through the seal."

Uchiha Tamaharu stood up, intending to leave, but remembered something he had forgotten to mention. He finished speaking, then pushed open the wooden door of the hut—which had only been built two days ago—and left. The wooden door creaked as it slowly closed.

Shisui lay on the bedding, wearing a look of bitter laughter.

Three days later.

In a training ground cleared out on this isolated island.

More than a third of the Uchiha clan had gathered here.

"Today, I am passing the position of Uchiha clan head to Uchiha Tamaharu. From this day forward, he will lead the Uchiha clan toward glory!"

Right from the start, Fugaku Uchiha moved to transfer the position of clan head.

After the recent events, he realized that he had been too hesitant in his actions, far less decisive than the younger generation.

Furthermore, the courage and strength displayed by Uchiha Tamaharu were exactly what the Uchiha clan needed most right now.

"To restore the glory of the Uchiha, I am duty-bound!"

Standing beside Fugaku, Uchiha Tamaharu wore a solemn expression as he made a grave promise to the clansmen lined up below.

Standing in the crowd, Shisui felt a subtle, inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart.

However, he was still the first to applaud, offering his congratulations.

A wave of applause quickly erupted; on that night of their escape, they had all witnessed the help this new clan head had provided to everyone.

"The next step is the first move toward the Uchiha returning to the pinnacle."

"We must formally integrate into this world, engage in exchanges, understand the specific intelligence of this world, and determine the current standing of the Uchiha clan, among other things."

Uchiha Tamaharu raised his hand to signal for the applause to stop, then began to speak.

At the same time, someone pushed over a blackboard about three meters long and one and a half meters wide.

"The strongest power in this world is called the World Government, which manages over one hundred and seventy allied nations."

Uchiha Tamaharu began to explain the situation to everyone.

Upon hearing that the World Government controlled one hundred and seventy countries, the people below let out gasps of amazement, their faces filled with shock.

Even Fugaku and Shisui were hearing this information for the first time.

"Of course, not every one of these countries is as large as the Five Great Nations. Most are the size of the Grass Country or the Rain Country, though there are some that are comparable to the Five Great Nations."

"Under the banner of this World Government, there are four forces that serve as the foundation for their control over these nations: the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, and the intelligence organization."

"Among these four, the strongest is the Navy. They possess more than five combatants capable of rivaling the Kage level: three Navy Admirals, one Fleet Admiral, and one Vice Admiral. Furthermore, they have hundreds of thousands of troops, including over a hundred elite Jonin-level soldiers, with countless more at the Jonin and Chunin levels."

When Uchiha Tamaharu detailed the strength of the Navy, the previously excited Uchiha clansmen fell into dead silence.

After all, in their eyes, this power was truly too overwhelming.

If a weakened Konoha had already pushed them to this point, could their Uchiha clan really return to glory under such a power?

And this was even with Uchiha Tamaharu intentionally downplaying the Navy's strength.

After all, the power of the three Admirals was on par with the Super-Kage level—the level of the living First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.

Against such strength, people like Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen would stand no chance at all.
