Uchiha Fugaku's Strength / Even the Uchiha Clan Leader Needs to Know This Technique
Just as he was about to reach Sakurako's house, he heard Uchiha Fugaku's voice.
"Shingen, where are you rushing off to?"
Uchiha Shingen turned around and saw Uchiha Fugaku staring at him from the doorway.
"I'm going to find Haku, clan leader." Uchiha Shingen walked up to Uchiha Fugaku and sniffed him.
It has no ink smell.
He didn't secretly play with the calligraphy brush? That's so unlike Fugaku!
This clan chief is always trying to find ways to slack off and play with calligraphy brushes; he's quite irresponsible.
After all, his true nature had already been fully revealed to the White Snake Sage.
That was such a provocative expression, it was so out of character, it completely ruined his persona.
"What are you doing, shaking your head like that?" Uchiha Fugaku put his hands behind his back and secretly rubbed his fingers together.
"Nothing, clan leader, did you buy new clothes?" Uchiha Shingen said. "I was just admiring the pattern; it looks quite luxurious."
Uchiha Fugaku didn't believe a single word he said, not even a punctuation mark.
"It's just a piece of clothing." Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the next room. "Don't rehearse today. It's no big deal if the Ice and Snow Exhibition is delayed by a few days. Come with me to the training ground."
"Is Tekka not here today?"
"What does it have to do with him? Isn't he supposed to be at the construction site these days?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't hold back when he heard Tekka's name. "Don't mention him to me. I need to talk to you about something important."
"Alright then." Uchiha Shingen picked up the manuscript. "Shall I leave the manuscript with you for now?"
"Okay, go in and put it there."
Seeing Uchiha Shingen burst through the door and shower his wife, who was secretly laughing behind him, with flattery, Uchiha Fugaku snorted, turned his head away, and decided to avoid seeing it altogether.
After a while, Uchiha Shingen ran out.
"Let's go." Uchiha Fugaku, sparing with words, turned and left.
Uchiha Shingen quickly followed.
"Chieftain, what's wrong with you today?"
"That's how I always am."
"No, no, no, you're not usually like this... um..."
"What's with all this 'this' and 'that'? It's all so nonsensical!"
The two gradually walked away.
At that moment, the door of the Fugaku opened again, and Uchiha Itachi led Uchiha Sasuke out. They planned to go to Uchiha Shisui's house to play.
Behind them was Uchiha Mikoto, who kept giving them instructions.
"Understood, Mother." Uchiha Itachi helplessly. Was he the kind of person who would only cause trouble for Shisui?
"Mother, where are Father and Uncle Shingen going?" Uchiha Sasuke asked curiously.
"Yes, your father and Shingen have some very important things to do." Uchiha Mikoto affectionately patted Uchiha Sasuke's head. "Don't be naughty, listen to your brother, okay?"
"I'm the most obedient!" Uchiha Sasuke said proudly.
"Yeah, right. You and Naruto are always the naughtiest, and Karin is the most well-behaved." Uchiha Mikoto chuckled, tapping her youngest son's nose. "Go on, go play."
Watching her two sons happily go to visit their neighbors, Uchiha Mikoto's smile faded slightly.
She roughly knew what her husband was planning to do.
Thus, just as everyone guessed and firmly believed, Uchiha Shingen would be the next clan leader.
If that's the case, his important life event definitely can't be delayed any longer.
Furthermore, the head of the Uchiha Clan is definitely not allowed to marry someone from another clan. Although this rule may seem a bit redundant, it has its own logic.
She glanced at the house next door, thought for a moment, and then walked over.
Chapter Four: The Strength of Uchiha Fugaku
The Uchiha Clan's training ground, despite having the word "ground" in its name, is actually a large complex of buildings.
Because this clan's Ninjutsu excels in direct combat, the village was designed to be quite large from the very beginning.
During Senju Tobirama's era, the Uchiha Clan's territory underwent its first relocation. Although they were moved to the relatively remote southern suburbs, the Uchiha Clan gained more land in return.
As a result, the rebuilt training ground was so large that it was almost exaggerated.
It was designed to accommodate all the Uchiha Clan ninjas at the time for training, and it also had a simulated battlefield that could be used for military training by an entire Konoha Military Police Force.
Senju Tobirama created a cage called the "Police Force" for the Uchiha Clan, limiting their power ceiling, but in return, granting them enormous economic privileges. For example, the Uchiha Clan had the right to sell their most prized Explosive Tag and various exquisite ninja tools to Leaf Village's many allies through Leaf Village's channels. This allowed the Uchiha Clan to quickly accumulate enough wealth to build their new clan territory.
The newly established Uchiha Clan Compound and Police Force, in turn, spurred the rapid development of the South District. Today, the South District is almost as prosperous as the North District.
What was once a desolate place is now connected to the North City. However, this prosperity is limited to the area from the North City to the Police Force. Further south, the land belongs to the Uchiha Clan Compound and the prison, and there are many military sites and factories, which must be separated from residential land.
As a frequent visitor to the training grounds, Uchiha Shingen has not made full use of them over the years; he has never even been to the simulated battlefield, as he only joined the Police Force after the Third Shinobi World War.
After entering the training ground, Uchiha Fugaku led Uchiha Shingen directly to the simulated battlefield.
Upon arriving at this simulated battlefield, Uchiha Shingen looked around and, at first glance, found it to be quite picturesque.
However, some craters caused by Explosive Tag can still be seen on the ground.
Here, the traces left by Fire Release are the most numerous.
"I haven't been organizing properly lately..." Uchiha Fugaku's professional instincts kicked in. "I've been a bit lax."
"It's because we just had a training session recently. There's nothing we can do about it; we need to get the Aburame Clan integrated as quickly as possible," Uchiha Shingen said.
After the Aburame Clan joined the Police Force, the four formerly marginalized ninja clans truly became colleagues.
From then on, the Konoha Military Police Force truly had eyes and ears all over Leaf Village.
Their sense of sight includes the Byakugan and Sharingan; their sense of smell includes Inuzuka Clan; and wherever there is vegetation, there are Aburame Clan's insects.
Even with Uchiha Shingen's current strength, if he were an enemy of Leaf Village, he still wouldn't be able to infiltrate Leaf Village undetected under such circumstances.
From now on, those spies from other villages should just obediently pretend to be merchants or something similar to come in; that's the only way they can go.
"Let's leave it at that." Uchiha Fugaku remained noncommittal.
He stepped into the simulated battlefield.
Having climbed a relatively "clean" hillside, Uchiha Fugaku turned around.
Uchiha Shingen looked at him, completely bewildered.
He felt that Uchiha Fugaku a bit strange today.
"Shingen, how strong do you think you are now?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.
"Hmm..." Uchiha Shingen thought for a moment and decided that one should be humble.
It's always good to keep a low profile.
However, one should not belittle oneself.
"You could call him a tough guy," he said. "But there are plenty of tough guys in the Ninja World; I'd say he's more than capable of protecting himself."
"You're a genius, Shingen." Uchiha Fugaku's demeanor had completely changed today, and he was praising her enthusiastically. "The Ninjutsu you recorded has been put on a special shelf in the library, and everyone has started learning the Yang Release you recorded. You're also the first in the clan's history to use Susanoo with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
"Clan leader, you flatter me." Uchiha Shingen somewhat embarrassedly.
He's actually not very good at taking compliments, which is an old problem of his.
If he gets praised too much, he'll become arrogant.
"But even so, you're not the only one in the history of the Uchiha Clan," Uchiha Fugaku said. "Come and defeat me, Shingen."
Uchiha Shingen was taken aback.
"Chieftain, isn't this progress a bit too fast?"
Although he didn't say it, Uchiha Shingen felt that he was now the strongest Uchiha Clan.
Old Fu really doesn't want to get beaten up and then conveniently quit, does he?
Uchiha Fugaku is capable of doing something like this.
If Orochimaru is a villain who acts out of pure interest...
Uchiha Fugaku was the head of the Uchiha Clan, a position he held out of personal interest.
The only motivation that kept him in this position was simply his affection for his family.
However, to be fair, among the previous generation of the Uchiha Clan, only Uchiha Fugaku was qualified to be the head of the Uchiha Clan.
"Shingen, you really look down on the Uchiha Clan traditions, but that just proves you're very traditional yourself." Uchiha Fugaku's expression remained unchanged. "You'd better come at me seriously. Since you're determined to take a different path, you should at least know what the old path is like, right?"
Uchiha Shingen's smile faded.
He realized that Uchiha Fugaku was serious.
"Alright, clan leader, be careful," Uchiha Shingen said, his crimson eyes flashing. "I don't know my own strength."
"You jest, Shingen." Uchiha Fugaku finally showed some expression; he smiled. "You're the one who should be careful."
Without a sound, several Shuriken appeared behind Uchiha Shingen.
But Uchiha Shingen was faster than Shuriken; his figure vanished from his original spot and lunged at Uchiha Fugaku.
At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes changed, and his unique Mangekyo Sharingan pattern became visible.
Fiery red Chakra materialized from his body, Susanoo hand took shape in an instant, its five fingers spread out, grabbing at Uchiha Shingen who was coming towards him.
The technique was executed very quickly; not only was only a portion used, but the arm remained completely intact, proving that Uchiha Fugaku was extremely skilled in using Susanoo.
This was by no means his first time using it, nor had he only used it a few times.
A sense of doubt arose in Uchiha Shingen's mind.
This clan leader possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, but only an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan. Susanoo be used to this extent in just one or two uses. How did he replenish his eye power?
Relying solely on practicing Yang Release halfway through is insufficient.
White Chakra also surged from Uchiha Shingen's body, and he also partially used the Susanoo Hand, slapping it towards the large red hand in front of him.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the hillside was flattened, and two figures were ejected in opposite directions.
"Since he can use Susanoo, copying the Akimichi Clan's Super Pusher is only natural." Uchiha Fugaku emerged from the swirling dust. "You're not the only one who thinks that way, Shingen."
"Clan leader, you've been hiding your true intentions very well," Uchiha Shingen sighed.
"That's all nonsense," Uchiha Fugaku said. "Get serious. Didn't you learn the Magnet Release from Sand Village? Use whatever you have."
Chapter 5: Even the Uchiha Clan Head must know this technique.
On the simulated battlefield, Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Fugaku were separated by a distance due to the collision of their Susanoo Super Push Hands, and two different colored Chakra covered their respective bodies.
Although neither of them has truly activated their full Susanoo form, this state already indicates that they are fighting seriously.
Sensing the Yamato and abundant power of Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Uchiha Shingen felt a sense of familiarity amidst his confusion.
When Uchiha Shingen first saw the Mangekyō Sharingan, its owner was Uchiha Izuna, a ninja with near-perfect talent.
Strictly speaking, if Uchiha Madara didn't have the advantage of Indra's Chakra, he would actually be slightly less talented than his younger brother.
However, Uchiha Izuna did not possess the same unwavering willpower as Uchiha Madara, who once set his sights on a goal, he remained steadfast in his loyalty. Even after the Uchiha Clan had been completely suppressed by the Senju of the Forest and some members had surrendered, there were still many of Madara's die-hard followers in the Uchiha Clan, something Izuna could not achieve.
However, this does not diminish the fact that Uchiha Izuna was very strong. Although Senju Tobirama won the final victory, he was suppressed by Uchiha Izuna for a long time.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was forced upon him by Uchiha Izuna.
The first time Senju Muzoku saw Susanoo was when Uchiha Izuna was beating up Senju Tobirama; luckily, Senju Hashirama at the time.
Like the Uchiha Fugaku before him, it also possessed fiery red Chakra.
Its vibrant color, like a burning flame, seems to hint at the intense emotions its owner possesses.
This Susanoo looks so much like it.
And then there was that unusually powerful pupil energy. Uchiha Shingen remembered that Izuna used Susanoo more often than Susanoo back then, but his eyesight didn't decline particularly badly.
