Changes in the Uchiha Patriarch Position

In order to build a bond that would allow various clans to live in peace—a village—Senju Hashirama felt there was nothing he could not endure.

As long as such a village could be successfully established and peace brought forth, Senju Hashirama felt everything would be worth it.

Senju Tobirama, still recovering from his injuries, vehemently opposed this idea.

He declared throughout the clan that the Uchiha Clan were the sworn enemies of the Senju Clan, and that the Uchiha Clan would inevitably be the source of instability for any peace.

However, Senju Hashirama's charisma had already taken root in the hearts of the Senju clansmen, and Senju Tobirama's declarations were heard by no one but himself.

Senju Hashirama did not choose to keep his younger brother under house arrest any longer; he was now capable of controlling the overall situation within the Senju Clan.

"Big Brother." Senju Tobirama looked at his brother, unwilling to give up.

"Tobirama, do not try to persuade me anymore. Come with me and let us build that world of our dreams."

Senju Hashirama smiled brightly and reached out a hand toward his brother.

"Fine, fine." Senju Tobirama could not win against his brother and could only nod helplessly. Since they were determined to do this, they had to do it as well as possible.

To build such a world, they had to unite many shinobi clans. The Hyuga Clan was an excellent partner, and the Hyuga Clan, ruled by Hyuga Tennin, possessed great strength.

"Big Brother, I want to take some men to the Hyuga Clan and speak with Hyuga Tennin about a partnership."

Senju Tobirama would not forget what the Uchiha Clan had done to their family. If he could deal with the Uchiha Clan during the process of establishing peace, he believed his brother would have nothing left to say.

Seeing that Tobirama was willing to support his dream, Senju Hashirama was overjoyed and agreed on the spot.

Uchiha Compound.

Uchiha Madara was not idle either; during this time, he would disturb his cousin Uchiha Yang with every little thing.

He was subtly transferring the power of the clan head, and in a little while, he would likely be able to officially announce the transition of the position.

"Senju Hashirama, once I am liberated from the position of clan head, I will come to find you."

Uchiha Madara gazed out the window, his eyes filled with a thirst for battle.

He was not fighting for Hashirama's peace, but for the unified Order World that his cousin spoke of.

Hashirama's philosophy of peace and his cousin's philosophy of a unified order were in clear conflict; the other man would inevitably be a stumbling block on his cousin's future path.

Only by completely destroying Hashirama's peace could a unified Order World truly be established.

"I'm telling you, is your big brother a bit touched in the head? Whoever wants this clan head position can have it; I am not going to take it."

Beside the lotus pond in the courtyard, Uchiha Yang lay on a chair, feeling as if he were sitting at home when a disaster suddenly fell from the sky.

He only realized it when he received a well-intentioned reminder from his Brain.

I treat you like a brother, and you treat me like a pack mule. That's going too far.

"Regardless, half of the clan head's power has already been transferred to you. Both I and Big Brother believe that you are the most suitable person to sit in this position."

Uchiha Izuna lay beside him, watching the sky with a face full of smiles.

"With you holding down the fort for the clan, Big Brother and I can rest easy while we fight for the clan outside. With you at home, we have nothing to worry about."

"Damn it, don't get all sentimental on me. Don't think I'll agree just because you say that."

Uchiha Yang was determined not to agree. If there was a first time, there would be a second, and in the future, there would be countless burdens heaped upon him.

Seeing that he refused to budge, Uchiha Izuna's eyes rolled, and he changed his approach, his tone filled with temptation.

"Cousin, think about it. As long as you take over the position of clan head, the future of the Uchiha Clan will be yours to decide alone. With Big Brother and me backing you up, you can do whatever you want."

Uchiha Yang glanced at him. What to do? It is actually a bit tempting.

If the entire Uchiha Clan were at his disposal, he would have manpower and influence whenever he needed it, making it much easier to build an orderly world.

Especially since he possessed Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, the two top-tier fighters of the Shinobi World—and, of course, his pet, the Nine-Tails. Even Senju Hashirama would have to show him some respect.

However, he really did not want to deal with administrative matters. Could he use a shadow clone? No, that wouldn't work; once the clone was dispelled, all that exhaustion would still return to his own memories.

Wait, a shadow.

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Uchiha Yang's mind. He seemed to have thought of a way to be lazy—ahem, a way to solve the problem that would satisfy everyone.

As his own shadow, it could act independently and possessed his own top-tier intelligence. If it handled the clan head's affairs for him, wouldn't that be simple?

[Brain: Shadow, I have some wonderful news to tell you. Allow me to keep you in suspense for a moment. First, let me congratulate you.]

[Shadow: What good news?]

[Sharingan: You have to interpret the Brain's kind words in reverse; this is usually not good news.]

[Shadow: Tell me, tell me!]

[Brain: Don't be impatient; you will know soon enough.]

"Actually, taking over as clan head isn't such a big problem. It's mainly that I'm afraid I lack the experience and the prestige."

"If something goes wrong, I would be a sinner against the clan, and that is a responsibility I cannot bear."

Having thought of a solution, Uchiha Yang suddenly felt a weight lift off his shoulders, and his tone became light and airy.

"As for the issue of prestige, you have even less to worry about. With Big Brother and me backing you up, no one would dare say a harsh word to you."

"Furthermore, we believe that with your wisdom, Cousin, you will surely lead the clan to unprecedented prosperity after you take over as clan head."

Uchiha Izuna was overjoyed to see him relent and hurriedly offered his assurances.

"Alright, alright, enough with the flattery. Your cousin here has heard more flattery than you've eaten salt in your life."

Uchiha Yang couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Tell me, you little brat, did your big brother send you here to work on my mindset?"

Uchiha Izuna scratched his head in embarrassment, "Don't be angry, Cousin. It's all for the sake of the clan."

"Fine, fine. I won't hold a grudge against you two brothers. Hurry back and tell your big brother the good news."

Uchiha Yang began to shoo him away, as he had some mental work to do on Ying.

Uchiha Izuna left, beaming with joy.

"A unified Order World—that is something no one has ever accomplished."

After Uchiha Izuna had departed, the Nine-Tails sighed with emotion.

After all, even the Old Man had never achieved such a thing, and it truly wanted to see if Uchiha Yang could actually bring about the Order World he spoke of.

Uchiha Yang chuckled, "Just because no one has done it doesn't mean it can't be done. Since there are no predecessors, I shall be the first."

"The Order World will surely descend. That is my word."

The Nine-Tails saw the glow of confidence on Uchiha Yang's face; that confidence, radiating from within, was enough to convince even the Nine-Tails that he would absolutely succeed.

[Ying, are you asleep yet?]

A very enthusiastic call from his master, Uchiha Yang.
