Uchiha Fugaku fell silent.
After Meikyō's analysis, Uchiha Fugaku realized that he really didn't have much of a chance of winning the position of Fourth Hokage.
However, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
What changes have occurred in the past few years?
"Well..."
His indecisive nature made it difficult for him to make a decision, so he decided to maintain the status quo and wait for a turning point.
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku's expression, Meikyō guessed his plan.
To be honest, this clan chief probably doesn't have much political skill in manipulating power, otherwise he wouldn't have been in power for so many years without fully reclaiming his authority.
In his opinion, Meikyō himself is now the direct disciple of Dan Katō, Hokage Candidate. If Dan Katō becomes Hokage in the future, the Uchiha Clan will not be too bad off, no matter how bad they are, thanks to Meikyō's connections.
As the head of a large clan, Uchiha Fugaku should be making separate bets, getting some people with certain positions in the clan to befriend Orochimaru. If he still has any ideas of his own, he should also make great efforts to befriend outstanding juniors of this generation such as Ino-Shika-Cho and Minato Namikaze, in order to plan for the longer-term future.
However, the Uchiha Clan has always been used to being the leader in the past. Even after being defeated by the Senju and establishing Konoha together, they still regarded themselves and the Senju Clan as equals. They really don't have much experience in this regard, far less than the Ino-Shika-Cho or Sarutobi Shimura clans.
"Never mind, there's still a long time before the Fourth Hokage election. Let's talk about it then."
Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, then reached under the table and took out a long wooden box made of sandalwood.
"This is another main reason why I called you here today, Meikyō."
With a click, the slot on the long box opened, revealing a sword with a dazzling cold light.
"This is the legendary Totsuka Blade, one of the Kusanagi Sword passed down in the Ninja World. It is called the Ama-no-Ohabari, which is the Sword of the Fire God the fire god that killed the Kagutsuchi in mythology. It was the sword of Uchiha Izuna, the second leader of the clan forty years ago, and it is as famous as the Thunder God Blade the Second Hokage."
The Totsuka Blade? The Ama-no-Ohabari? Or the Sword of the Fire God, which is on par with the Thunder God Blade?
A series of names all signify the extraordinary nature of this sword.
As Uchiha Fugaku spoke in a low voice, Meikyō picked up the sword and examined it closely.
The sword is narrow at the bottom and tapered at the top. The guard is decorated with ancient flame and Tomoe patterns, and a small gourd-shaped pendant hangs from the bottom of the hilt.
Noticing Meikyō's gaze fixed on the gourd, Uchiha Fugaku continued to explain:
"As a weapon passed down from ancient times to the present, this sword is naturally highly compatible with the Uchiha Clan. If an Uchiha masteres the divine power of Susanoo possessed by the Sharingan, the Ama-no-Ohabari will also transform into a spiritual weapon and become the weapon used by Susanoo. Once an enemy is pierced by the sword, he will be sealed in the Totsuka Blade at the bottom of the Totsuka Blade, the strongest seal that the Uchiha Clan can possess."
"In history, Uchiha Izuna, as the second leader of the clan, helped the then clan head Uchiha Madara bring the Uchiha to its peak. Meikyō, today I am handing this sword to you, hoping that in the future you can be like Uchiha Izuna and help me push the clan to a new peak!"
Uchiha Fugaku's voice was firm and resounding.
"Thank you, Chief Fugaku!"
Meikyō sighed inwardly.
It will also propel the family to new heights!
In the original history, the Uchiha Clan was defeated and wiped out by you!
Meikyō could only hope that his arrival could avert the tragic fate of the Uchiha Clan and prevent them from continuing their decline.
However, with the help of the Reincarnator's Wristwatch, Meikyō believes that he still has a high probability of changing the future of the Uchiha Clan.
The New Year follows the heavy snow.
After spending the New Year with close friends like Uchiha Yu and the Kato couple in Konoha, and building relationships with younger generations like Minato Namikaze, Meikyō returned to the Demon Slayer World.
"Faster, faster! Faster!"
In the small square of the Butterfly Mansion, Shinazugawa Sanemi brandished his Nichirin Blade, launching wave after wave of swift and sharp attacks at the person in front of him.
Tokito Yuichiro gritted his teeth, barely holding on against Shinazugawa Sanemi's relentless onslaught.
"Sugoi! Muichiro's older brother is this amazing too!"
Tanjiro Kamado gasped in surprise as he watched the two fighting in the arena.
In just two months, the Tokito Brothers have made rapid progress, both passing the trials of Mount Fujikasane and becoming members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Ichiro is even able to withstand the attacks of Shinazugawa Sanemi, one of the top three strongest ninja among the Pillars, for such a long time.
These two brothers seemed to be born for Breathing Technique.
After learning the Wind Breathing from Shinazugawa for a while, Ichiro felt that his compatibility with the Breathing Technique could be further improved, so he decisively chose the Mist Breathing created by the previous generation of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
This is a Breathing Technique derived from the Wind Breathing and the Flame Breathing.
Muichiro also learned the Mist Breathing. Even more outrageous, after wielding a sword for two months, almost all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps below the Pillar level were no match for him.
Ichiro was naturally unwilling to be surpassed by his younger brother; in his view, he was the one who should protect his brother.
Shinazugawa Sanemi understood Tokito Yuichiro's feelings, because he too was determined to protect his younger brother, Shinazugawa Genya.
However, he is good at the Wind Breathing. Although the Mist Breathing is Breathing Technique derived from the Wind Breathing, it was fine to give Ichiro some guidance in the early stages, but it was not so effective in the later stages. He could only give Ichiro more intense combat training.
Now, they've even invited Rengoku Kyojuro to help with the guidance.
As for Tanjiro, he came to the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps' higher-ups because he was the successor of the Sun Breathing technique. Since his personality got along well with Kyōjurō's, he followed Kyōjurō to learn the Flame Breathing.
Most importantly, Kyōjurō is the only one among the nine pillars who has mastered the Sun Breathing.
Because Tanjiro was able to withstand Rengoku Kyojuro's rigorous training, Kyōjurō had even decided to take Tanjiro as his adopted son after he passed the selection at Mount Fujikasane.
"Kamado boy, you're excellent too! I believe that as long as you work hard enough, you can become just as excellent as Ichiro!"
Kyōjurō watched with piercing eyes the battle between Ichiro and Shinazugawa Sanemi, and encouraged Tanjiro.
With Ichiro's Nichirin Blade was knocked to the ground by Shinazugawa Sanemi.
