Uchiha Meikyō Assumes the Position of Fifth Hokage!

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

Hokage Building, conference room.

"Meikyō, you've finally arrived!"

Dan Katō wore the same smile he had more than a decade ago as he looked at Meikyō walking in.

It's no exaggeration to say that although the current Hokage of Konoha is Dan Katō, and Dan Katō is also doing the work of the Hokage, the position of Hokage in people's hearts has been largely replaced by Meikyō.

The reason is simple: the Hokage's duty is to protect the village, and Meikyō's strength is unparalleled. Moreover, in the past ten years, Meikyō's name has been involved in every victory in Konoha's wars against other countries. This has made Meikyō's reputation in the village even greater than Hokage of the Hokage, and the personal worship of him has spread from within the clan to the entire Konoha.

Even the village's high-level combatants, while striving for Super Kage-level combat power, also placed their greater hopes on Meikyō.

Even if they reach the Super Kage-level combat power, they are at most qualified to participate in the battle. The one who can truly influence the outcome is the Meikyō.

"Is it your real body or your Wood Clone this time? It should be the Wood Clone, right? I feel like the threat you pose to me is even greater than before, even more terrifying."

Minato Namikaze looked at Meikyō with a somewhat surprised expression.

He boasted that in his current state of fusion with Kushina, using the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu, he would not be defeated by either Madara or Edo Tensei Hashirama, and might even have a slight advantage.

Although the time was only twenty minutes, he was invincible during those twenty minutes, except for Meikyō.

He had thought that he had finally caught up with his best friend, who had been his equal since childhood, but now it seemed that the gap between them, which had been narrowed with great difficulty, had widened again.

"It's the main body; as for the improvement of strength..."

Meikyō smiled slightly and, without hiding anything from everyone, directly revealed his Rinnegan.

"This is... the same Rinnegan as Madara! In that case, we should be even more confident in eliminating Uchiha Madara!"

Although his hair was already half white, Torifu Akimichi and slapped the table excitedly, wishing he could eat another hundred or so bags of potato chips.

"Meikyō, if possible, I hope you can get rid of the blemishes as soon as possible so that my grandfather can return to the Pure Land."

"Tsunade Brother is the one who founded Konoha. We shouldn't let him stand on the opposite side of the village. However, I hope you won't let our words influence you and will prioritize ensuring that our side has the greatest chance of winning."

Tobirama Senju, his face cracked, stood to one side, holding his Thor Masaki, and said calmly.

In recent years, Tobirama Senju, the developer of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, has personally researched it, and Orochimaru has also occasionally spared some effort to help. As a result, the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu has been developed to a relatively perfect state.

The current Tobirama Senju is no less powerful than he was in life, and due to his Impure World Reincarnation body, his strength has even increased slightly.

"Teacher Tobirama is right. Just like the two opportunities that Itachi brought back at the cost of his life, as long as Fugaku and Shisui's eyes can be upgraded to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, our strength can be greatly improved. In addition, with Minato and Kushina's fusion mode and Orochimaru's super war puppet under construction, no matter what Uchiha Madara and Bhiruho do, we can defeat them with absolute strength!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting on the corner of the table, couldn't help but speak up.

The Third Hokage generation is now over sixty years old. Not only is their hair gray, but they also have age spots, and they have completely turned into the familiar look.

So many years have passed, and even if the Third Hokage has truly grown older and more senile, becoming the same kind of muddle-headed fool as in the original timeline, he would no longer be as wary of the Uchiha Clan's growing power as he was in the past.

Anyway, with Uchiha Meikyō already around, they've already grown quite powerful, so it doesn't matter if they have two more pairs of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan now. On the contrary, it's the Sarutobi Clan that needs the Uchiha now.

There was no other way; if Konoha lost, the Sarutobi family's fate would definitely not be good.

Konoha's greatest asset in their quest to win is the Uchiha.

The only worry is that if Uchiha Shisui too strong in the future, Asuma might not be able to compete with him. But even if he can't compete, he can at least get a high-level position.

"I have something to say about this matter."

Orochimaru coughed and stepped forward.

"The only exception to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, besides Meikyō, is Madara, who awakened it by transplanting his brother's eyes. But our two current examples are not necessarily the same. Fugaku is alright, as humans are diploid organisms, and half of his genes are the same as Itachi's. Their Mangekyō Sharingan powers are of the same origin and similar. But Shisui and Kagami are separated by a generation, so it is not certain whether they can fuse. Even if they can, it may not be a perfect Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

"But at least we have to give it a try, don't we?"

Dan Katō answered.

Meikyō didn't speak, she just sat to the side.

If it's the same as last time, with Uchiha Madara and Edo Tensei Hashirama, both at the peak of the Super Kage-level, joining forces, then they're barely at the threshold of the Six Paths level. I'm confident I can suppress them.

Meikyō was confident that he was now invincible in the Ninja World.

Those Otsutsuki don't count; they're enemies from outer space.

Aside from those with the surname Otsutsuki, there may no longer be anyone in the Ninja World who can be a one-on-one opponent for Meikyō.

Of course, it would be a good thing if Fugaku and Shisui could awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

This means that I have the qualifications to awaken the Rinnegan. If one day, the Otsutsuki descends as they did in the future, then I will have two more helpers who can intervene in the battle with the Rinnegan.

With the addition of the Flying Thunder God Sage Fox, our side would have a much greater chance of winning.

From this perspective, Uchiha Itachi's death wasn't entirely in vain.

"Since we don't have a precise location for Madara's hiding place right now, my suggestion is that the Second Hokage, Meikyō, and I conduct preliminary research to increase the probability of Fugaku and Shisui, especially Shisui, Awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

The group exchanged glances and agreed with Orochimaru's opinion.

Orochimaru did this because he wanted to research the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but what he said wasn't wrong.

As the current authority and leader in the field of science and technology in Konoha, Orochimaru himself will definitely participate.

Tobirama Senju was not only a first-rate scientist in the history of the Ninja World and a master of forbidden techniques, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the Sharingan...

Goodness, Uchiha Fugaku, the Uchiha Clan Head, might not be as familiar with him Tobirama Senju.

If this guy were to be reincarnated into an Uchiha with his memories intact, he might develop his Sharingan even more skillfully than the original owner in no time.

As for Meikyō, he is also knowledgeable, and most importantly, when researching the Sharingan of the Uchiha, you definitely need to involve an Uchiha with sufficient authority.

Dan Katō, finalizing the matter, and then continued:

"The next thing is about the information that Shisui brought back. Uchiha Madara has broken the seal and released Uchiha Hikari, a ninja from the Sengoku Period. According to Itachi's description before his death, he is an extremely dangerous person who can even pose a threat to the owner of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan under certain circumstances. If any of you know any related information, please explain it in detail."

Everyone turned their attention to Uchiha Fugaku.

After all, this is the head of the Uchiha Clan.

"This..."

Fugaku looked troubled.

"That's history from over a hundred years ago. Even as the head of the clan, I'm not entirely clear on these ancient things. I only know that the Uchiha clan once had such an ultimate weapon, which was eventually sealed away by the Senju Clan. I don't know where it was sealed. I think Elder Hane or Lord Tobirama in the clan would know more about these things."

Everyone then turned their attention to a white-haired man.

"I do know some relevant information."

Tobirama Senju nodded in reply.

If we're talking about experts on the Uchiha, then Tobirama Senju is the one to speak for it.

"It was about sixty years ago, which, if you count the time, should be the year the monkey was born. I was still very young then. At that time, Uchiha Tajima passed away, and my father Hashirama Senju, and my elder brother's father were bedridden due to hidden injuries."

He spent a great deal of time collecting information on every Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan over the past two hundred years, in order to summarize the patterns and find a way to kill them.

Tobirama Senju spoke these words without batting an eye, even in front of two Uchiha.

Tsunade touched her nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed for her great-uncle.

Tobirama Senju continued:

"This happened more than a hundred years ago, only sixty years ago. At that time, Uchiha Nanashi... no, Uchiha Hikari, was sealed away by the clan leader, my great-grandfather Senju Motoma, who led the clan's experts, along with the clan leaders of the Sarutobi Clan and Uzumaki Clan."

"By today's standards, three Kage Level powerhouses and more than twenty Jonin- level powerhouses died in that battle. Even I, my great-grandfather Senju Motoma, was seriously injured and died after passing the position of clan leader to my grandfather. This caused the Senju Clan to be at its weakest in nearly three hundred years."

"Because Uchiha Hikari's abilities are too strong, so strong that the Allied Senju forces could hardly kill her, and could only use sealing methods. Her eye techniques are different from other Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. She doesn't only have two, so we speculate that she has the ability to copy other Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques."

"Because she demonstrated the abilities of other Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan at the time, plus her own, she demonstrated Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kagutsuchi, and an unknown Dojutsu that could absorb the Chakra of others, as well as a Genjutsu that could control the mind of others by placing a mark on them with Chakra."

Tobirama Senju rattled off a long list of points, concluding with:

"Therefore, my suggestion is that, unless absolutely necessary, there should be no Uchiha among those who deal with Uchiha Hikari, lest she copy your Dojutsu again."

Most of Konoha High Command officials nodded in agreement with these words.

Minato Namikaze even stood up and said directly:

"In that case, if a battle breaks out, I and Kushina will handle Uchiha Hikari Hikaru. Even if he can last for twenty minutes in Sage Fox Mode, I won't be in dire straits thanks to Flying Thunder God. As Perfect Jinchuriki, Kushina won't be controlled by Genjutsu, and the Tailed Beast Cloak will be enough to fall off on its own after resisting Amaterasu."

Orochimaru also suggested:

"Furthermore, in order to prevent it from suddenly leaving the battle to copy the Dojutsu of Meikyō and others, we also need to use a barrier to restrict it. Therefore, we also need to teach the Four Red Yang Formation to the younger generation in the village, such as Hatake Kakashi, Shiranui Genma, and Four Red Yang Formation Sarutobi Asuma, who are relatively strong."

Several Konoha High Command were having a heated discussion, but Meikyō had no intention of actually not meeting with Uchiha Hikari.

He was even thinking of trying to use his Mirror God Eye to see through Uchiha Hikari's Dojutsu.

Moreover, the Chakra system in the Naruto World is the core of his strength. In addition to the Mangekyō Sharingan's Dojutsu, Meikyō also plans to find time to explore other Kekkei Genkai one by one.

If one could integrate all the Kekkei Genkai formed by fusing basic attributes, would it be possible to master the Kekkei Mōra?

Kekkei Mōra represent the end of the Chakra system.

If other ninjas could master the Kekkei Mōra, they would definitely become Six Paths level powerhouses. This ability would also greatly enhance Meikyō.

"Well, now that we have a plan in place to deal with Uchiha Hikari, let's talk about the last few things."

Dan Katō's gaze swept over everyone present, and he spoke:

"The news that Itachi was an undercover agent carrying out a top-secret mission will be announced, and the publicity will highlight Uchiha Itachi's sacrifice in bringing back important intelligence to the village. I and all the high-ranking officials will attend Itachi's funeral."

Regardless, Uchiha Itachi sacrificed himself for Konoha. The intelligence and items he brought back could very well have given Konoha two Super Kage-level fighters. As the Hokage, he should acknowledge this spirit of self-sacrifice for the country.

This can also be considered as Uchiha Fugaku family.

"Starting tomorrow, Uchiha Fugaku will be reinstated to his previous position as Hokage Advisor, but Uchiha Obito will remain as the head of the Konoha Military Police Force, and Uchiha Fugaku will be transferred to the position of head of the Intelligence Analysis Unit."

At this point, Dan Katō turned his gaze to Uchiha Meikyō.

"As for the former head of the Intelligence Analysis Unit..."

Dan Katō slowly removed the Hokage hat from his head and stood up.

"Uchiha Meikyō, succeed the Fifth Hokage!"

Um?

"Master Dan, this... isn't necessary? With your age and physical condition, you can serve Hokage for at least another ten years."

Honestly, Meikyō truly didn't want to face the mountain of official duties that came with being Hokage.
