The Future Has Changed, Only C-Class Will Be Passed Down
"No need to ask anymore." Uchiha Hirotomo sighed, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"My Mangekyo Sharingan is the Jialou Illusory Realm, which, to be precise, allows me to see some future trends. As for your purpose in coming tonight, Lord Owl, I already know." Uchiha Hirotomo's voice was calm, as if he had prepared this in advance.
But the complexity in his eyes was intriguing. Uchiha Kō's heart pounded wildly. He could see the future trend? Was it really that incredible? This old guy had been hiding his true strength!
"Then tell me, can this thing of mine be accomplished?" Uchiha Kō stared intently at Uchiha Hirotomo, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, not wanting to miss even the slightest change in Uchiha Hirotomo's expression.
"It can happen," said Uchiha Hirotomo, his expression unchanged. However, Uchiha Kō's face lit up with joy, but then Uchiha Hirotomo added, "However, it will trigger the Third Shinobi World War, a war that will leave the Ninja World devastated, with Konoha suffering particularly heavy casualties."
Uchiha Kō trembled. Although he had expected it, he was still a little nervous after hearing what Uchiha Hirotomo said.
"Could you elaborate?" Uchiha Kō gritted his teeth, looking at Uchiha Hirotomo, only to see Uchiha Hirotomo shake his head. "I can only sense the general trend, not the specific details. But there are always gains and losses, Owl-kun, what do you say?"
Uchiha Kō remained silent. He never expected that his ideals would ignite the Third Shinobi World War Ninja World. Heh, it seems things are indeed complicated.
"Actually, you can also choose to do nothing. After all, everyone has their own destiny, and it is ordained by heaven. Where there are people, there will be struggle. Sometimes, taking a step back can open up a whole new world, right?" Uchiha Hirotomo opened his eyes again, Uchiha Kō looked up and found that his Mangekyo Sharingan was somewhat dim.
This must be because the consequences are too great. Indeed, it involves the struggle between ninja clans and commoner ninjas that has lasted for thousands of years. If you want to change this, you must be prepared to be shattered to pieces.
With the power of one person, you can shake the entire structure of the ninja world. Even if you are a time traveler, even if you are the strongest, so what?
Uchiha Izuna remained silent, deep in thought. From their conversation, he knew this was no small matter. Uchiha Kō hadn't yet revealed the specifics, so he could only wait and see.
Uchiha spoke up, "Owl, what's wrong? Speak up, don't play dumb, I don't like it."
Uchiha Kō remained silent, then prepared to speak, but Uchiha Hirotomo said, "Let's enter the genjutsu and talk."
The group nodded, Uchiha Hirotomo cast a genjutsu. Uchiha Kō then began to speak, "I want to pass on ninjutsu to everyone, regardless of ninja clan or commoner."
These words struck Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna like a hammer blow, leaving them stunned and speechless for a long time. Their hearts were filled with shock. Had this kid gone mad?
"Do you know that if these words of yours get out, more than 70% of the ninjas will see you as an enemy?"
"You must be joking, right, grandson? Oh, no, no, Grandpa, please stop messing around. I beg you to give up on this idea."
Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna's hearts pounded wildly. This kid's actions were far more ruthless than those of Uchiha and Senju Hashirama, and also far more dangerous.
Uchiha Hirotomo remained silent, instead carefully observing Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō sighed. "I know my idea is too crazy. Even as the number one clan in the Ninja World, once this idea gets out, we won't be able to withstand the impact it will have."
"But at least we should make some contribution, even if it can't change the overall situation, it can at least improve the situation of ordinary ninjas."
"A huge Ninja Academy teaches some basic body techniques, so how are ordinary ninjas supposed to fight on the battlefield? Rely solely on Kunai and senbon needles or throwing Shuriken?"
"The civilian ninjas of my Konoha are also vibrant lives, serving as cannon fodder in every war. Don't you all feel any unease?" Uchiha Kō gritted his teeth.
"I can't control other ninja villages, but in Konoha, at the very least, C-rank ninjutsu must be included in the curriculum," Uchiha Kō said slowly.
"If it's just C-rank, that's a minor issue. What I'm worried about is that you, Owl, might not be able to resist making B-rank common. If that happens, war will inevitably break out in the Ninja World," said Uchiha Hirotomo.
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. "Alright, I'll remember that. Only C-rank techniques will be taught. As for B-rank ninjutsu, it'll remain the same as before, exchanged according to battle merits."
Uchiha Hirotomo raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. "The future has changed. Heh, congratulations, Owl. The future has changed. This time, I see Konoha's prosperity and strength, and the internal strife of the other four great nations."
Uchiha Kō glanced at him and nodded. "Guangzhi so much, Clan Chief Hirochi! You've been a great help!"
If it's just C-rank, it might only mean a small ninja clan gets reshuffled, and most ninja clans won't care. Since that's the case, Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna exchanged a glance and said, "Since you've made your decision, we'll all support you."
Uchiha Kō nodded, "Thank you!" Then Uchiha Hirotomo dispelled the genjutsu, and the three of them took out the C-rank ninjutsu scroll from their clan.
Most of the Uchiha Clan's C-rank ninjutsu are fire and lightning style, and most are offensive ninjutsu, which should provide some offensive means for ordinary ninjas.
Uchiha Kō had now come to a realization: the tide of history was irreversible, so he would do his best to help as much as he could. But to start a Ninja World war just because of his own ideal of equality for all was too crazy.
Moreover, power, once acquired from nothing, only breeds desire, and the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War will likely be related to this.
Uchiha Kō tossed a copy of the ninjutsu scroll into Storage Scroll and then left the clan compound.
"Guangzhi, tell me the truth, what did you see?" Uchiha Izuna, looking at Uchiha Hirotomo.
"If Uchiha Kō were to pass on his B-rank ninjutsu, the landscape of the Ninja World would change, and Konoha, and even the other four great ninja villages, would fall apart."
"At that time, the civilian camp will face off against the ninja camp. Uchiha Kō Hashirama and Lord Hashirama Lord Tobirama suppress everything with their strength and ultimately forcibly stop this war."
"However, by then, both commoners and ninja clans will hate Uchiha Kō, and hate all of you," Uchiha Hirotomo said calmly.
"However, the future has changed, so please rest assured," Uchiha Hirotomo said with a smile.
"Besides, Uchiha Kō is just being kind-hearted and acted impulsively. He'll understand when he gets back. Little does he know that compared to the powerful clans, the desires of ordinary people are far more terrifying." Uchiha Hirotomo shook his head.
The two remained noncommittal. The ninja clan, after thousands of years of evolution, had mostly learned to control their desires, but commoners were different. Starting from nothing, they would only want more. How could they achieve this? Through struggle.
