A Punch Thrown Opens the Way

After a round of toasts, Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "Everyone, let's start eating!" With that, he tapped the eye of the sea fish in front of him.

Only then did everyone begin to eat. Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food and wine, Uchiha Kō didn't want to interrupt, so he also started eating.

Everyone's meals were the same, after all, this was wartime, and eating and living with everyone had become commonplace. Moreover, when Uchiha Kō built this castle, he had already stored a large amount of supplies here.

So the dishes were quite good; the enticing aroma of the food even attracted God of Shinobi and ninjutsu geniuses from the ninja world.

The God of Shinobi took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he asked the ninja next to him, "What kind of meat is this? It tastes so delicious!"

The ninja beside him looked at Uchiha from this other world and said with a smile, "This is venison, all top-quality venison from the Nara Clan. In addition, these seasonings were personally prepared by Uchiha Kō."

"Since this is your first time trying it, you should eat more." As he spoke, the ninja used serving chopsticks to place a piece of venison on the God of Shinobi's plate, then looked at the God of Shinobi with expectant eyes.

The God of Shinobi was stunned. He stared at the venison on the plate, lost in thought. Not only were they not afraid of him, but they were also willing to put meat on his plate.

In the end, the God of Shinobi ate it anyway. His eyes lit up. It was delicious! The freshness of the venison was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life. Moreover, the most important thing was not his appetite, but the kindness of the villagers in this world.

In his world, perhaps because of his fearsome reputation, apart from Hashirama, no one from any other race spoke to him, and some even fled in panic upon seeing him.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the naturally kind-hearted God of Shinobi of the ninja world, a blow to their very soul. If you were the leader of a clan, would you allow your clan members to integrate into a village for the sake of peace?

In the end, the other ninja clans in the village would avoid you like the plague. How would you feel? You're already showing some class by not betraying the village on the spot, let alone the Uchiha, who are on par with the Senju.

After hesitating for a long time, the God of Shinobi finally asked a question, "Aren't you afraid?" He was somewhat puzzled, but his eyes were fixed intently on the ninja's eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, especially the Eternal Mangekyo of the God of Shinobi. He has seen too much deceit and treachery, and witnessed too much of the good and evil in human nature.

He wouldn't miss a single lie uttered by the ninja in front of him.

The ninja paused, frowned, and asked, "Madara Sama, what am I afraid of?" He didn't know why, but this Uchiha from another world seemed so awkward.

The God of Shinobi pondered for a moment, "Aren't you afraid of me? After all, I'm known as the God of Shinobi, and I've killed countless people."

Upon hearing this, the ninja suddenly laughed, "What's there to be afraid of? I believe that everyone Madara killed deserved to die, and everyone in the village knows that the Uchiha are a naturally kind and innocent clan."

The God of Shinobi stared into his eyes, observing his expression, and found nothing unusual. On the contrary, he felt a sense of sincere admiration.

He thought to himself, "Do the villagers of Konoha in this world really think this way? Or is this guy just too good at disguising himself?"

The God of Shinobi couldn't believe his ears, nor could he believe the Konoha Ninja' assessment of him. If he had known, if it weren't for Senju Hashirama, the Uchiha Clan would probably be a clan hated by everyone in the village.

Even the ninja prodigy was stunned. Although he knew that his older brother and Senju Hashirama eventually made peace and established Konoha, he also knew that with his brother's low emotional intelligence, even if he joined Konoha, he would find it difficult to make any progress.

Because there's a white-haired guy in Konoha who's cunning and scheming, and he's always targeting the Uchiha Clan.

Take the Book of Sealing for example, how many ninjutsu in it are specifically designed to target the Uchiha? It might as well stop calling it the Book of Sealing and just call it the Complete Guide to Destroying the Uchiha Clan!

At that moment, Senju Tobirama walked over, holding a wine cup. He first toasted the ninja genius, saying, "You have a fine grandson, the strongest and most powerful leader I've ever seen. This cup is for you."

After saying that, Senju Tobirama one gulp. Although the ninja genius didn't know what trick Senju Tobirama to, he wasn't afraid.

Therefore, even the ninja genius drank it all in one gulp, and upon seeing this, Senju Tobirama laughed.

"I bet you all suspect that the villagers' respect for you these days is fake, right?" Senju Tobirama shook his head and smiled helplessly.

The God of Shinobi remained silent, while the ninjutsu genius activated his Mangekyō Sharingan into Senju Tobirama's eyes, trying to discern something.

Senju Tobirama slowly began, "You may not know the story of Uchiha Kō, right? This book is about his life, and the other book is a heroic biography written by Jiraiya, the Uchiha Kō Biography."

"These two books objectively depict the life of Uchiha Kō, allowing readers to experience firsthand the environment and dangers he faced."

"After reading this, I believe you will understand everything." After saying that, he found a seat to sit down and drank alone. To be honest, if it were him back then, he would never have bowed down to a ninja genius and God of Shinobi. However, his grandson's achievements were the best in the world.

For the sake of his achievements, he had to befriend Senju Tobirama. Besides, Uchiha Kō was also Tsuna's husband.

Both publicly and privately, Senju Tobirama was to come and resolve the conflict between the two.

The God of Shinobi was reading the biography of Uchiha Kō, the first chapter of which was titled "Born into a Noble Clan, Unmoved by External Gains or Personal Losses."

The God of Shinobi raised an eyebrow. "An interesting statement. 'Not elated by external gains, nor saddened by personal losses.' Let me see what kind of person this is."

Contents of the book:

Uchiha Kō, born into a powerful clan, was the sole heir to the legitimate Uchiha Clan Head line. However, due to his ancestors' rebellion, his father was overthrown, and the clan head line fell into disuse.

Later, his father wanted to revive the glory of the clan, so he personally attended to every matter, big or small, in the war. In the end, he sacrificed himself in the First Shinobi World War.

Uchiha Kō had no one to rely on from then on. He lived to the age of eighteen, graduating from the Ninja Academy, on the eve of World War II, thanks to subsidies from the Uchiha Clan.

During this period, he remained calm and focused, working diligently and earnestly, truly embodying the principle of not being swayed by external gains or losses.

End of Chapter One.

Upon seeing this, the God of Shinobi fell silent. The first chapter introduced the Uchiha Kō's upbringing and background. As a member of the clan's patriarchal lineage, he had never enjoyed a good day and barely survived with the lowest-level resources.

How could someone like this become a powerful figure, the center of attention? What happened to transform this young man?

So he continued reading. The reason why the first chapter is called the first chapter is not primarily because it introduces the background of Uchiha Kō, but mainly because it serves as an introduction.

When this book was first published, the Uchiha Clan was the subject of much criticism. Uchiha Fugaku smiled wryly, thinking, "It wasn't him or his father who did it, it was his grandfather. How could it affect me?"

Uchiha Kō has quite a few female fans and die-hard supporters. They are crazy and loyal, and they fully support Uchiha Kō. Anyone or any force that has ever bullied Uchiha Kō will be condemned by them.

However, as the story unfolded later, people's impression of the Uchiha gradually improved because of the appearance of a certain character, Uchiha Hirotomo.

After learning about the situation and Uchiha Kō's talent and skills, Uchiha Hirotomo fully supported Uchiha Kō. On the surface, he was the clan leader, but he had to consult Uchiha Kō on everything.

Under the manipulation of Uchiha Kō and the delegation of Uchiha Hirotomo, the Uchiha transformed from a cold and aloof group into a passionate and just one.

Upon reading this, the God of Shinobi suddenly closed the book. Recalling its contents, he suddenly realized, "So this is how it can be done! If I learn this method, wouldn't that mean the Uchiha Clan can also..."

Meanwhile, the ninja prodigy beside him watched Uchiha Kō's early life, his political struggles, art of war, and military talents, his eyes shining with excitement, exclaiming how thrilling it was.

Even in the chaotic Warring States Period, my eldest grandson would have been a genius leader!

He looked kindly at Uchiha Kō, who was sitting in the main seat talking and drinking with Nara Rokumei, and a sense of pride and honor suddenly rose in his heart.

As Uchiha Kō was discussing the next battle plan with Nara Rokumei, he suddenly felt a burning gaze. Looking over, he discovered it was Uchiha Izuna from another world.

The ninjutsu prodigy nodded kindly to Uchiha Kō, though puzzled, responded politely.

Then he continued his discussion with Nara Rokumei: "Lu Ming, what do you think the Heavenly Dao will do next? Who will it send to fight?"

Nara Rokumei pondered for a moment, then replied, "I guess it's an ordinary ninja."

"Huh? An ordinary ninja? Why is that?" Uchiha Kō was somewhat puzzled.

"Heavenly Dao is ruthless and doesn't care about the lives of these ninjas. Fine, their goal is to wear us down. As long as they can kill one of our people, even if it's ten to one, it's worth it, because the eras they can summon aren't limited to just one."

"But rather, it's about the entire Ninja World!" Nara Rokumei laughed.

Uchiha Kō raised an eyebrow. Indeed, in these two battles, he had discovered that the people summoned by the Heavenly Dao were from different eras. Qingshui didn't know how many eras away from the God of Shinobi.

Furthermore, during the first battle, they did send out both ordinary and elite ninjas; that was likely just a test, not a real engagement.

If he really keeps summoning ordinary ninjas, it will eventually cause some trouble.

"So what do you plan to do?" Uchiha Kō, looking at Nara Rokumei.

Nara Rokumei's eyes hardened, his face filled with murderous intent. "Just like the Lord Hokage said, 'If you can land one punch, don't provoke a hundred!'"

Uchiha Kō understood and nodded. "Alright, then let's show the enemy the power of technology."

"Order the entire army to accelerate the production of gunpowder, bullets, and shells. A tough battle is about to begin." A ruthless glint flashed in Uchiha Kō's eyes.
