The excitement is ultimately just a small interlude in the mundane routine of life; as time stretches on endlessly, it will eventually become only a small part of life.
Despite the excitement, life went on, and time marched on. A few days later, everyone recovered from the initial excitement of the Uchiha Elder's wedding.
Fū Uchiha brought Tsukina Fujiwara back to the village. He remembered that day when they returned; Hen Uchiha Fū Uchiha's leg, crying her heart out.
"Wow, Elder, you're finally back! These documents have been impossible for a human to edit these past few days!"
Looking at the distraught Fū Uchiha, Hen Uchiha asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, during the clan reforms, the village was also reformed. Logically, your workload should have decreased by now."
Besides, there are other people helping you now, so the workload shouldn't be too heavy.
Hen Uchiha's eyes widened. "What do you mean 'not big'? How could someone like you, used to extremely high-intensity work, possibly understand the suffering of someone like me who's bad at politics?"
Have you ever felt my pain? Editing a single file feels like being in prison! It's so painful; if this continues, I'm afraid my Sharingan will need an upgrade.
... Spring goes and summer comes, autumn descends and winter is about to depart, and soon, autumn arrives.
On this day, the actions of the Uchiha Clan finally yielded their first wave of reward.
The once impoverished village, thanks to the Uchiha's investment, has successfully Tai Uchiha. The grain produced, through tax revenue alone, is enough to feed the Uchiha Clan army for a year.
This undoubtedly saved the Uchiha Clan a significant amount of military spending. Although the Uchiha Clan was not short of money at the moment, saving where possible was always the best policy. In Uchiha Takashi's vision, there would be far more money to be spent in the future, and they absolutely could not afford to squander it.
The Uchiha Clan was also immersed in the joy of the initial success of their plan; this year was a year of peace.
The Uchiha and Senju Clan reached a peace treaty, preventing a war from breaking out. This gave the Uchiha Clan ample time to implement their military reforms in all aspects.
The previously bloated and complex army has finally been simplified to its current form, which also signifies the formal establishment of the full-time ninja army.
But just as everyone was immersed in joy, some troubles arose on the border, making this peace precarious.
The Senju Clan successfully leveraged the power of the Uchiha Clan to persuade the Uzumaki Clan to change their minds and renew the alliance without a marriage alliance, thus resolving the alliance issue.
Although the alliance of the Three-Clan Allied Forces has been dissolved, the alliance between the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan remains intact, and the Sarutobi Clan continues to maintain an ambiguous relationship with these two clans, suggesting a potential reunification.
Moreover, even more serious news reached Uchiha Takashi's desk.
The Senju Clan recently planned to join forces with the Hyuga Clan to besiege the Uchiha.
Upon seeing this message, Uchiha Takashi's pupils contracted twice in shock. "Holy crap, what the hell? The Senju Clan is going to form an alliance with the Hyuga Clan?"
If this news is true, then the unknown state of the Uchiha Clan is indeed in extreme danger!
With their entire territory surrounded by enemies on all four sides, leaving only their clan's camp, they would face an attack from four directions. Could the Uchiha Clan truly withstand it?
If it were the Uchiha Clan from before, there would only be one conclusion: they wouldn't be able to withstand it. Although they would definitely unleash overpowered abilities like the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan during the fight, the final result would definitely be the Uchiha's absolute weakness.
When the Uchiha Clan's numbers dwindle significantly, it will fall from its pedestal. If this happens repeatedly, the Uchiha Clan will inevitably be wiped out from the annals of history.
However, if it were the current Uchiha Clan, the answer is indeed that they could withstand it. If they threw all the ninjas from the two clans they had incorporated into the army onto the battlefield and fought recklessly, they could hold their own.
It's even possible for the Uchiha to inflict heavy damage on one of the other clans, but the problem is that in doing so, the Uchiha would also suffer severe injuries and be greatly weakened.
All the previous planning was for nothing; we had to start from scratch, and it would disrupt the subsequent plans.
Therefore, Uchiha Takashi didn't dare to underestimate this news at all. Although the Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan were very arrogant, he wasn't stupid enough to do that.
He immediately summoned Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha, and then relayed the news to them without hesitation.
"That's the situation. We don't know the Hyuga Clan's attitude yet. If the Hyuga Clan really sides with the Senju Clan, do you two have any good ideas?"
Uchiha Takashi spoke in a deep voice, "If the Hyuga Clan really sides with the Senju Clan, are we prepared to defend against enemies from four directions?"
Tatsu Uchiha's expression also turned serious. "We don't know the Hyuga Clan's attitude, so it's too early to say anything now. However, if the Hyuga Clan really sides with the Senju Clan clan, then the Uchiha Clan will face an even more dangerous situation than before."
Uchiha Takashi really wanted to complain after hearing this. What was going on? Why was the Uchiha Clan facing danger Tenten after he transmigrated?
The previous surprise attack already demoralized the Uchiha, potentially leaving them vulnerable in a Uchiha. Now, another Uchiha, leaving them surrounded by enemies. If this precarious situation is triggered, and if Indra doesn't step in, the Uchiha might truly be doomed.
Kyō Uchiha's expression was also very serious. "Clan leader, I think we should first test the Hyuga Clan's attitude. We shouldn't try every means to win Hyuga Clan. If we can't, we should strike first and nip the Hyuga Clan in the bud!"
Kyō Uchiha's idea was also Uchiha Takashi's idea. If the Hyuga Clan really sided with the Senju Clan, then he would definitely strike first to keep the enemy outside the clan.
We absolutely cannot wait until the enemy reaches our doorstep before we think about counterattacking; we must seize the strategic initiative into the hands of the Uchiha.
Uchiha Takashi pondered for a moment, then made a decision, saying, "We should indeed send someone to probe the Hyuga Clan's attitude. We'll send Senior Chen openly."
I will represent the Uchiha Clan to visit the Hyuga Clan, and then secretly infiltrate the Hyuga Clan's headquarters to steal information.
"What?!" Tatsu Uchiha exclaimed in shock, "Absolutely not! You are the clan leader! How can you go alone into enemy territory to do something so dangerous? If something happens to you, the Uchiha Clan will be finished!"
Uchiha Takashi looked at Tatsu Uchiha and said, "But this mission is extremely difficult. Who else in the clan is capable of undertaking it and can advance into the Hyuga Clan's headquarters without being detected?"
"Besides me, who else could do that? I have the Mangekyō Sharingan, Hyuga Clan doesn't even know about my abilities. Even if they are exposed, I can just come back and fight my way back. I can't let the other clan members go to their deaths."
