Plan to Cultivate a Super Genius

"Little Chuan, do you have any solution to this?" Seeing Uchiha Chuan fall silent in speechless resignation, the First Elder hurriedly asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.

"This is a problem with the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai. It can't be solved with little tricks and schemes." Uchiha Chuan shook his head helplessly.

"Even you have no solution?" The First Elder gave a bitter smile, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Forget about a permanent cure. As for the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai's problem, unless we abandon the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai altogether, or completely change Konoha so that it becomes a place of absolute truth, goodness, and beauty, I have no way to cure this problem at its root. But being unable to cure it doesn't mean it can't be suppressed." Uchiha Chuan spoke calmly.

"Oh? How do we suppress it?" the Second Elder asked, anticipation flashing through his eyes.

"It's simple. The Uchiha Kekkei Genkai's problem didn't just emerge in the past few decades. Why wasn't it discovered before? Because for thousands of years, the Uchiha had constantly been at war. They had to go to the battlefield at five or six years old. So this problem never erupted, because all those who became arrogant and blindly inflated died on the battlefield. Only those who could calmly handle the power gained from awakening their eyes survived. Thus, it was only after Konoha was established, after the Uchiha became settled, that the flaws of the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai finally erupted." Uchiha Chuan spoke evenly, his words carrying deeper meaning.

"So you mean we should send those inflated fools to the battlefield and use war to get rid of them?" The Second Elder frowned, hesitation in his voice.

"But the Police Force was established precisely so that we Uchiha would not go to the battlefield. Unless they have no other choice, the Third Hokage and the others will never allow us onto the battlefield." The First Elder frowned helplessly.

"Which is why going to the battlefield is not an option. Therefore, there is only one way: make these inflated Uchiha face reality." Uchiha Chuan spoke with resolution.

"What way?" the three elders asked in unison, their eyes full of expectation.

"Systematically cultivate a super genius who surpasses them, then beat them into complete submission." Uchiha Chuan spoke coldly.

"Actually, we originally intended for you, Little Chuan, to suppress them. You are the Uchiha's super genius. I believe you can completely suppress them and make them revere you as if they had never awakened their eyes." Seeing Uchiha Chuan propose this method, the First Elder immediately explained awkwardly, a trace of apology in his voice.

"I won't step forward." Uchiha Chuan shook his head and said calmly, "However, if you give me sufficient support and fully cooperate with me, I can create an Uchiha genius no less talented than myself and have him suppress these people."

"Moreover, this method can be passed down. When we are gone, future generations can use it to continuously suppress the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai problem." Uchiha Chuan added meaningfully.

"We'll go find Clan Head Fugaku at once and cooperate with you fully!" Hearing that Uchiha Chuan had a way to continuously produce geniuses no less talented than himself, the three elders immediately rose to their feet, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Mm. This method may cost several hundred million ryo. Let's estimate the expense at one billion ryo. Report it to the clan head." Uchiha Chuan spoke calmly.

"Fine, it's only one billion ryo! As long as this problem can be resolved continuously, we will certainly persuade the entire clan to agree." The First Elder gritted his teeth, determination filling his voice.

Yes, an expenditure of one billion ryo was no longer something the few of them could decide. They needed to convene an Uchiha clan meeting.

At the same time, at the Daimyo's reception banquet.

"Third Hokage, Uchiha clan head, today's Stilt Football match truly opened my eyes. As expected of ninja—even their movements atop stilts are smoother and more elegant than ordinary people standing firmly on the ground. I raise a cup to you for creating such an outstanding and intense sport." The Daimyo raised his cup in praise.

"As long as Your Excellency the Daimyo enjoys it." The Third Hokage raised his cup with a faint smile. Fugaku Uchiha and the others followed suit, their eyes full of respect.

"Of course I enjoy it." The Daimyo smiled pleasantly. "As I said before, aside from watching Stilt Football's opening match, I came to Konoha because I also plan to organize a football tournament in the capital. Of course, it will not be Stilt Football there, but football played on solid ground. However, that does not prevent ninja from potentially entering. After all, the rewards for the football tournament I organize may be somewhat greater. If ninja participate, they would damage the fairness of football too much. Therefore, I hope the Third Hokage can arrange several powerful Jonin to maintain order, while the Uchiha clan head can arrange Jonin familiar with the rules to serve as referees. What do you think, Third Hokage, Clan Head Fugaku?" The Daimyo spoke with a touch of arrogance that brooked no objection.

Neither the Third Hokage nor Fugaku Uchiha minded the Daimyo's arrogance, having long grown accustomed to it. It would have felt strange if he were not arrogant.

"Since it is an employment request from Your Excellency the Daimyo, we will naturally fulfill it to the best of our ability." The Third Hokage spoke respectfully.

"The Uchiha will as well," Fugaku said, his voice full of confidence.

"Good. Later, Third Hokage, send someone back with me to inspect the competition venue and determine how many ninja will be needed to provide internal and external security. As for Clan Head Fugaku, once the registered teams and tournament format have been decided, I will tell you how many Uchiha referees I need." The Daimyo smiled in satisfaction.

"Why does Your Excellency the Daimyo specifically request Uchiha referees? The rules of football are not complicated. Any Jonin or Chunin in Konoha can easily serve in that role." The Third Hokage asked probingly.

"Because Stilt Football is a sport created by the Uchiha. With the Uchiha present, it will be more authoritative and impartial." The Daimyo smiled meaningfully. Naturally, whatever he thought in private would not be voiced at the banquet.

The Daimyo's words left the Third Hokage with no excuse to reject Uchiha referees. He merely cast a complicated glance at Fugaku Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha smiled indifferently. Now, he no longer feared the Third Hokage. That was the confidence brought by victory. He directly said to the Daimyo, "Thank you for Your Excellency the Daimyo's favor."

"Come, a toast." Having achieved his goal, the Daimyo raised his cup again, pleasure in his voice.

Fugaku Uchiha and the Third Hokage could only raise their cups in return, faint smiles on their faces.
