Meeting the Hokage to Receive Rewards

This ninja blade was very easy to use.

Crafted from Chakra Metal, it had been of great help to him during this time.

Its "Indestructible" nature allowed him to use it without any reservations.

No matter how roughly he infused Chakra, it could silently endure it.

Even if damaged, it could be restored with a little blood.

He intended to further strengthen this weapon!

The stronger the weapon, the stronger he would become!

Clearing his thoughts, his mind moved.

The three Affixes, [Thunderbolt Attachment (Blue)], [Chakra Mimicry (Blue)], and [Chakra Absorption and Integration (Blue)], trembled slightly.

Three streams of blue light slid out from the panel and slowly infused into the ninja blade in his hand.

After a tremor, the ninja blade...

emitted a faint blue light!

When the light faded, the katana-style ninja blade...

showed no significant change in appearance.

However, lightning-like patterns appeared on the blade.

Uchiha Yuzhen raised the ninja blade, and Chakra gathered towards it. "Let me see what changes you've undergone!"

Clack-clack-!

After two sounds, a large aggregate of Chakra gathered on the ninja blade.

"Is this the ability of Hiramekarei?" Yuzhen thought, then swung the ninja blade in his hand.

As the ninja blade swung, a huge pit was blasted into the ground ahead.

"It really inherited Hiramekarei's Chakra manifestation! Then the next change..."

The ninja blade naturally changed according to Uchiha Yuzhen's will!

Riiip--!

The ninja blade grew larger and longer, as if possessing the Super Multi-Size Technique.

Under the continuous infusion of Chakra from Yuzhen, the ninja blade transformed into a five-meter-long giant blade.

He could feel that it could become even larger.

But if it did, his hand wouldn't be able to hold it.

"I've tested Hiramekarei's ability, now for the next..."

The blade moved with his will.

The sound of crackling lightning echoed from the ninja blade.

When Uchiha Yuzhen saw the dazzling lightning flashes on the ninja blade...

he knew...

his ninja blade had also completely inherited the abilities of Kiba.

"As for Samehada's Chakra absorption, there are no test subjects for now, I'll deal with it later."

After reviewing his gains, Uchiha Yuzhen immediately got up.

The changes in the Affixes and the ninja blade...

he wanted to return to Konoha to conduct more detailed research and digestion.

He then set off.

Quickening his pace, he arrived at the gates of Konoha two days later.

After politely greeting the Military Police Force members guarding the gate...

Uchiha Yuzhen walked towards the Hokage Building.

He walked and mused.

He hadn't expected that the guarding duty of Konoha's gates was now in the hands of the Uchiha.

This Uchiha Military Police Force was truly not simple!

When he watched the anime in the original work, he only thought that the Uchiha, as one of the two founding clans of the ninja village...

had fared poorly...

Only after being reincarnated as an Uchiha...

did he realize...

What kind of monster department is this Military Police Force?

The Hokage is from a Japanese manga.

Naturally, it would inherit a bit of the Japanese worldview.

Similarly...

Konoha's Military Police Force is equivalent to Tokyo's police system.

And just how much power this system holds.

Everyone knows it in their hearts.

At that time, Uchiha Yuzhen understood...

Why the Uchiha were hated and ostracized by all of Konoha!

Konoha's pie of interests was only so big.

You Uchiha had so much power, and you didn't share it.

Who else would the higher-ups and other ninja clans ostracize if not you?

They occupied Konoha's core area and only did business within their own clan.

What was their intention in creating such a village within a village?!

However, he now possessed sufficient strength.

Coupled with the lesson Shimura Danzō had taught him this time.

This lesson made him realize that sometimes you also needed to have some power.

Otherwise, no matter how strong your power was, if you didn't flip the table, you would feel extremely uncomfortable.

And as a loyal and upright member of the Hokage Lineage, flipping the table was not within his considerations.

It couldn't be helped; he was the legitimate successor, so he couldn't really flip the table, could he?

Therefore, he had his eye on the power of the Military Police Force.

And to obtain the power of the Military Police Force, you first had to be an Uchiha.

Coincidentally, he was exactly that.

Besides being an Uchiha, one also needed to possess great strength.

Even more coincidentally, his Mangekyō Sharingan was proof of strength for the Uchiha!

And even more coincidentally, possessing these, he wanted to 'devour' Uchiha Setsuna's clan influence.

It couldn't be helped...

Who told him his relationship with Fugaku was good?

While Uchiha Setsuna, that old fellow, had a bad relationship with him.

He was also a hawk, and his relationship with his Hokage faction wasn't very good either.

He figured Sarutobi Hiruzen would be happy to see him take down Uchiha Setsuna.

The reason was very simple!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not a Hokage known for his strength.

But rather, a Hokage famous for his political achievements.

Although in Uchiha Yuzhen's eyes, these political achievements were not very impressive.

But for a ninja village system that had only been established for a few decades, it could be considered good.

It couldn't be helped; you couldn't expect those who were previously 'mercenaries' organized by clans to have much foresight.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had 'achievements' in politics, wanted his disciples and grand-disciples to grasp some of the power of the Military Police Force.

He would surely clap his hands in approval.

The Military Police Force had always been the Uchiha's private land, and the village couldn't interfere at all.

And for him, as his disciple's grand-disciple, to truly obtain a portion of the Military Police Force's power.

For the Hokage, it would mean a deeper control over Konoha.

And given Sarutobi Hiruzen's desire for control over Konoha, there was no reason for him to stop him.

After clarifying his thoughts, Uchiha Yuzhen walked into the Hokage Building.

He had already decided that when he reported his mission and received his reward later.

He would bring this matter up.

Following the guidance of the Hokage Building staff, Uchiha Yuzhen appeared before Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage!" Uchiha Yuzhen bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lift your head, Yuzhen-kun," Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, putting down his pipe. "You are the grand-disciple of my disciple Jiraiya, so there's no need for us to be so formal."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage," Uchiha Yuzhen followed his words and looked up.

Then, he took out a scroll from his pocket: "This is a more detailed report on the Kirigakure attack."

This report was the reason for his return.

The previous impeachment had also mentioned some things.

But the main content was the impeachment of Danzo.

This current report of his was a more detailed combat analysis.

It included his own perspective, as well as the perspective extracted from the enemies' minds by the Intelligence Division.

"Good, I will examine this scroll carefully." Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and pointed to a chair beside his office, saying to Yuzhen, "Yuzhen-kun, please have a seat over there for a moment."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully read the report.

The more he read, the more confused he became.

He had already found the previous brief report incredible.

Now, this scroll, from the perspectives of Uchiha Yuzhen and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, made him even more aghast.

"Kid, tell me, in the perspective described above, was your inexplicable 'luck' the power of the Mangekyō?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzhen responded in a deep voice:

"That is my dōjutsu, it's a Genjutsu type, capable of making them see unbreakable illusions."

"And while I was clear-headed, I could naturally kill them with ease, so it appeared as good 'luck'."

This was a lie.

How could he possibly reveal his dōjutsu?

The explanation of Genjutsu was sufficient.

After all, the way those guys failed as if they had lost their minds, could indeed be explained as Genjutsu.

Hearing Yuzhen's explanation...

"Genjutsu, a good dōjutsu." Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. "Regarding the reward for this incident, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzhen's eyes lit up.
