The Hard Part? It's Easy. Just Become Clan Head!

In Konoha, two people, one tall and one short, walked side by side. Their clothes were embroidered with the symbol of Gunbai, and the villagers gave way as they passed.

Shisui frowned slightly.

He glanced at the Inabi and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

This phenomenon is definitely not a good thing, but the clan members all think it is a symbol of the Uchiha's majesty and power, and they are even complacent about it.

They've been basking in their family's glory for far too long!

Shisui sighed inwardly.

At that moment, he looked up and saw three young, unfamiliar children walking towards him on the street.

Unlike the others, they weren't afraid of the two of them at all, and acted as if they didn't see them.

Inabi Uchiha frowned.

Upon seeing this, Shisui immediately asked, "Who are they?"

"The Iburi Clan joined Konoha a while ago, but I haven't seen them much before. Hmph, as expected of outsiders, they have no manners at all."

Inabi Uchiha said dismissively.

Shisui said in a low voice, "Brother Inabi, you can't say that. They're not afraid of us, and they happen to be close to the Police Force. Isn't this a perfect opportunity for us to befriend them?"

"Does the Uchiha need to make friends with others?"

Inabi looked down at him with an expression that said, "Shisui, were you brainwashed by those Teacher at school? This ' Will of Fire? Just listen to it and don't take it too seriously. It's still the Hokage lineage that calls the shots."

His words shocked Shisui, leaving him speechless.

The Will of Fire...

Although he didn't quite agree with some of their arguments, there was no doubt that as members of Konoha, they had to abide by their rules.

Shisui understood more and more.

Why did he always feel that his family was full of contradictions?

As Kyohiko said.

The clan does not consider Konoha as a village or a collective, but rather as the "property" of a select few.

As one of the founders, the Uchiha should be one of the masters of Konoha!

However.

Decades have passed, and even the Senju Clan has disappeared. Tsunade, as the true successor of the Senju lineage, no longer mentions the surname "Senju of the Forest".

What about them?

The Uchiha Clan is still here!

Shisui could see the problem, but couldn't think of a solution, so he could only sigh inwardly.

Inabi walked through the street without causing any trouble for those people, only giving them a cold glance as he passed by.

Afterwards, Yukimi shrank back and whispered, "That person was so fierce!"

Tenzo immediately turned around and looked at the Inabi that had already passed.

Upon seeing the family crest, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Which family has the Gunbai- shaped crest?"

"The Uchiha, one of the most powerful clans in the village."

Yamato said in a low voice.

The two immediately fell silent, trembling with fear.

They had certainly heard of the Uchiha.

A clan renowned throughout the Shinobi World, whose leader, Madara Uchiha Hashirama Senju, and was extremely powerful.

That's not surprising, given their clan.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Mingcha Street. There are lots of shops there where you can buy flowers, drink tea, and even see the Hokage Rock!"

"Good."

After crossing the street, Shisui made an excuse to say goodbye to Inabi.

Then he headed towards the lake next to the Police Force.

The Kunai has been stuck here for several days, but no one has responded. I don't know if he came today.

"Perhaps he won't come again."

Shisui felt uneasy, fearing that today would bring another disappointment.

but.

When he arrived at the lake, he saw a figure sitting under a tree.

"Huh?! Did you go out of the village to do a mission?"

When Shisui saw Kyohiko again, he immediately understood why the other man hadn't been seen for several days; he must have been away on a mission.

Otherwise, why would it reappear now?

"Yes, I went out to carry out a simple mission, and it went fairly smoothly."

Kyohiko smiled.

He looked at Shisui: "Did you need something from me?"

"I can identify the problems within myself and my family, but I can't think of any solutions."

Shisui sighed, "Sometimes, I think knowing less is better. I wasn't in so much pain before, but now..."

"Difficult? It's simple, just become the clan leader."

Kyohiko said calmly.

Shisui paused for a moment, then said, "Me, the clan leader? But I'm just a child..."

"This is the Shinobi World, a place where missions and deaths happen Tenten. Even a child, if powerful enough, can wield real power."

Kyohiko said calmly.

Shisui wanted to retort, but considering Kyohiko's current status, he was speechless for a moment.

He did not know the other party's specific position.

but.

Without a doubt, his power and status in Konoha were considerable.

Shisui couldn't help but ask, "Can I do it too?"

"You're going to deny yourself without even trying? If that's the case, then you certainly don't have the ability."

Kyohiko's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Shisui, being a child, couldn't accept being rejected, and immediately strained his neck to say, "Of course I can too!"

"Then go and do it. Do it for me, do it for the Uchiha, do it for everyone else in Konoha."

Kyohiko smiled and said, "The Uchiha isn't just comprised of them; there are also people like you and your grandfather."

"My grandfather..."

Shisui Uchiha was initially surprised, but then he suddenly understood.

Kagami Uchiha.

He had never met Kagami Uchiha.

but.

Through books and notes, Shisui knew his grandfather very well.

He served under the Second Hokage and became the only Uchiha in the Second Hokage Guard Squad.

He was a true genius who understood the Will of Fire and knew how to lead the Uchiha clan.

it is a pity.

Kagami Uchiha died young, unable to lead the Uchiha onto a better path, causing them to sink deeper and deeper into despair.

"Well then, keep it up."

Kyohiko got up to leave.

Shisui called out again, "Wait!"

Kyohiko turned his head.

After a moment's hesitation, Shisui asked, "I'd like to ask if I can graduate early?"

"Um?"

Kyohiko looked at him in surprise, then calculated the days and said, "I remember, you've only been enrolled for two or three months, and you're already thinking about graduating?"

"I've taught myself everything the school teaches. The academic subjects are too simple; they're not as profound as the books I've read."

"That's what Shisui said."

Kyohiko fell silent for a moment.

This guy is a true genius. He taught himself his lessons at the age of five and has mastered almost everything the Ninja Academy taught him.

No wonder he was able to become one of the ninjas guarding the eastern front during the war so early on.

certainly.

At that time, Shisui should have been eight years old.

The original war continued until Itachi was four years old, only large-scale conflicts decreased significantly.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In a peacetime situation, it's definitely impossible to graduate early, and there's no need for it."

"All right."

Shisui accepted reality.

"If you feel that your current coursework is not challenging enough, you can ask your Teacher for permission to take the exam early and then choose courses that interest you."

Kyohiko said.

The current education system isn't particularly difficult for ninjas from clans, especially since Shisui was Uchiha.

even.

Within the Uchiha Clan, he was also an outstanding individual among his peers.

"Yes!"

Shisui nodded immediately.

Kyohiko Flying Thunder God left.

He is very busy.

The transformation of the Iburi Clan is nearing completion. As a reward, his Smoke Transformation technique has been upgraded from "proficient" to "masterful."

He needs to try more uses.

With an additional batch of intelligence ninjas needing training in the Konoha Anbu, Yakushi Nonō's vacation came to an end.

She looked at the twenty or thirty people below and said, "With your Kekkei Genkai, you are naturally gifted as intelligence ninjas, and you don't need much training or reinforcement."

"Therefore, the first thing you need to learn is the local language and customs, so that your identity isn't revealed by your accent..."

Nonō patiently explained the key points.

She knew that the twenty or thirty people in front of her were all Kyohiko's treasures, and she had also witnessed their abilities.

Iburi Busaku bewildered. "How many languages do I need to learn?"

"Initially, you only need to learn where you'll be working, but later you'll definitely need to master the local customs, culture, and language habits of all places. Otherwise, how can you perfectly infiltrate and gather intelligence?"

Yakushi Nonō said.

Then, she paused for a second and said, "In addition, after you have undergone skills adaptation training over the next month, you will be going to carry out observation missions."

"Observation mission?"

Everyone looked at Nonō with confusion.

What is this?

I've never heard of this before!

According to the Iburi Clan, intelligence ninjas are generally used for infiltrating and gathering intelligence; when would they need to learn so much?

"Yes, observation tasks. For example, you need to observe merchants, woodcutters, or Samurai closely to understand their daily lives, their tone of voice, their style of speaking, and so on."

Yakushi Nonō nodded.

These are some of the key points mentioned in Kyohiko's teaching material outline.

In the past, their ninjas rarely paid attention to these details. But upon closer examination, the fact that intelligence ninjas were exposed was not only due to their own Ninjutsu being discovered, but also because of their lack of attention to detail.

As a spy who came from the Root organization, Yakushi Nonō knew all too well the situation in this line of work.

Many people are exposed and hunted down because they lose due to seemingly insignificant details; there are numerous such cases within their own organizations.

only.

For Danzo, only those who survived were his true subordinates; those who died were simply gone.

Anyway...

In their Root, death happens Tenten.

Yakushi Nonō scanned the room, paused, and recounted her past.

Because of the Curse Mark, she couldn't reveal too many secrets.

These are not included.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

"The lord values us spies, which is why he painstakingly wrote this textbook. It's a small matter if you lose your lives, but if you ruin the lord's plans, how will the Iburi Clan explain themselves?"

Yakushi Nonō spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not be negligent any longer.

More than a month has passed quickly.

A lot has happened in the past month or so.

Shisui Uchiha skipped a grade.

He scored near-perfect marks on all his basic exams; under such conditions, he could almost graduate directly during wartime.

And now.

His result was--

If you skip to the third year, you can choose a major that interests you to pursue, but you can't graduate yet.

Within the Iburi Clan, all those involved in the Anbu dispersed and entered mission mode.

but.

For Konoha.

The most important thing is Danzo's actions.

Inside the meeting room, Tsunade her best to appear serious and not reveal too many other emotions, while those present at the meeting...

Three advisors.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Kyohiko.

These six individuals are among those in Konoha who are truly involved in decision-making.

"I've finished my report."

Kyohiko put away the scroll.

He was only talking about the intelligence he had recently gathered.

Danzo recruited Fuma Clan, and also recruited some members of the Kamizuru Clan from the Land of Earth to serve him.

It can be said that...

Danzo has now once again gathered a large number of forces.

Tsunade said, "My opinion is that we must come up with a plan as soon as possible to deal with Danzo. What do you three advisors think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled helplessly, "This old friend of mine, he really is the kind of person who would do something like this."

Utatane Koharu.

but.

She didn't look well.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Danzo to actually go this far.

On the contrary, it was Mitokado Homura.

He looked around and said, "There's nothing to say. Danzo's actions betrayed the village and will deepen the rift between us and the Feudal Lord and the nobles. In the long run, this will not benefit Konoha or the Land of Fire."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised.

Mitokado Homura.

This old... elder, how could he say such a thing?

She nodded in agreement, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although the Old Man spoke just now, he did not express a clear opinion and his words were rather ambiguous.

She didn't quite agree.

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, "You're the Hokage, and Yan has already stated that as long as the four of you vote, you don't need my and Koharu's support at all."

Tsunade smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiraiya said, "Wait!"

Um?

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya.

After raising Jiraiya hand, Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think that in the current situation, starting an internal conflict would not be in our best interest."

"Who said we should start an internal conflict now?"

Kyohiko looked at the Teacher.

He knew that Jiraiya considering the entire Land of Fire, but...

"The Lord Hokage means that we need to come up with a plan first and discuss how to deal with him."

He paused for a moment.

Utatane Koharu immediately said, "This matter involves His Feudal Lord the Daimyo and Noble Faction; assassination is definitely out of the question."

Orochimaru smiled without saying a word.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and said, "Kyohiko, Orochimaru, what are your plans?"

"We must first create chaos in the Land of Water."

Kyohiko said, "The Anbu will work hard on this. I will focus my resources on the Land of Water and try to get the work done as quickly as possible."

"Land of Water descends into chaos, it will have a legitimate reason to exist, but we need to be wary of the Kumogakure."

Orochimaru pointed to the upper right corner of the map, "I visited Kumogakure back then. After the Kinkaku and Ginkaku' rebellion, they became very united internally. They also have some past offenses, so we must be wary."

Everyone agreed.

The Kumogakure is their ally, but they haven't forgotten about the abduction of Kushina.

Tsunade asked, "Jiraiya, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Sunagakure won't recover for at least ten years, but we need to be wary of Ōnoki in the north. When dealing with Danzo, we must carefully consider the manpower and tactics we can use."

Jiraiya said.

Orochimaru chuckled, "Don't worry, as long as we can get through in name only, we old guys won't need to lift a finger to deal with Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly.

Old man?

Who are you talking about?

These three are so young, yet they call themselves old guys. Who are they anyway?

but.

Given Kyohiko and Minato's abilities, Danzo wouldn't be difficult to deal with, provided the Feudal Lord agrees.

in particular--

That technique I recently submitted!

The Flying Raijin Formation Technique, and Space Stabilization Barrier.

Kyohiko and Minato are truly geniuses. It's Konoha's greatest fortune that they came from the same era. Together, they are more than capable of dealing with Danzo.

"That's settled then."
