Kapitel 93: Chapter 93: Akira, Who Else but You Could Be the Head of Konoha's Anbu?

"So that's how the name of Konoha Village and the title of Hokage came to be!"

After a quiet conversation with Uchiha Akira, Might Guy's face showed a look of surprise, followed by a sudden realization.

Indeed, the village was called Konoha, and its leader was called the Hokage. It had always been this way.

But why were they called that? Might Guy had never really thought about it.

Today, after hearing Uchiha Akira's explanation, Might Guy finally understood!

More importantly, Uchiha Akira's words made perfect sense.

Konoha Village was founded by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who ended the Warring States period.

So, based on Hashirama's Wood Release, the village was named "Konoha" (Leaf Village).

And based on the Uchiha's Fire Release, the village leader was given the title of "Hokage" (Fire Shadow), which was indeed logical.

"But why has this explanation never been popularized in the village? And why hasn't it even been mentioned in the teachings at the Ninja Academy?"

After realizing this, Might Guy's face showed a look of confusion.

Indeed, there were history books in the Ninja Academy that recorded events from the Warring States period and the founding of Konoha Village.

Logically, since this concerns the origins of Konoha, it should be recorded in the history books.

"Heh..." Uchiha Akira chuckled with a mocking expression when he heard Might Guy's question.

Might Guy didn't quite understand what this "heh" meant.

"Akira, that 'heh' of yours sounds like you're cursing someone!" Might Guy said with a bit of unease.

"That's right, I am cursing someone," Uchiha Akira nodded frankly.

Might Guy: "..."

"Of course, I'm not cursing you. I'm cursing the previous Konoha leadership. I just didn't expect your instincts to be so dull, Guy-sensei!"

"Think about it. Who founded Konoha Village? The Senju and Uchiha clans. But the Senju clan has long been gone, and the Uchiha clan was nearly wiped out last night!"

"As the two founding and most powerful clans of Konoha, they almost ceased to exist. Do you really think that's a coincidence?" Uchiha Akira posed a soul-searching question to Might Guy.

"Hiss..."

In truth, Might Guy's instincts weren't the sharpest.

But after Uchiha Akira's prompting, if Guy still couldn't see the oddities in these events, it wouldn't be a matter of instinct but rather intelligence!

Yes, as the founders of Konoha, the Senju clan had vanished, and the Uchiha clan had nearly been destroyed last night.

This situation was indeed terrifying when thought through carefully!

Uchiha Akira and Might Guy continued their low-voiced conversation.

In the meeting room, many people were casting curious glances at them.

It was no secret that Uchiha Akira and Might Guy had some personal rapport.

Otherwise, where would Uchiha Akira have learned the Eight Gates technique?

But last night, in an effort to protect the Third Hokage, Might Guy opened the Seventh Gate and fought against Uchiha Akira's Seventh Gate, holding him back.

This was witnessed by everyone present.

Had it not been for Might Guy, Uchiha Akira, in his Seventh Gate state, would have crushed everything without being forced to open the Eighth Gate!

People initially thought that the two would have turned against each other after this.

But here they were today, in the meeting room, quietly chatting without a hint of enmity?

After some thought, everyone understood what was going on.

Uchiha Akira hadn't held a grudge against Might Guy.

And this made many people secretly admire Akira.

Uchiha Akira's capacity and magnanimity were truly beyond what a seven-year-old child should have.

Not holding a grudge against Might Guy despite his full-force resistance last night because of differing loyalties?

Is this really the kind of forbearance a seven-year-old should possess?

After about three hours of back-and-forth discussions regarding Konoha's distribution of interests, Uchiha and the various clans finally reached a mutually agreeable balance!

Of course, Uchiha also discussed with Might Guy and Kakashi, representing the civilian shinobi, and the Anbu and Root factions, reaching a satisfactory conclusion.

As they say, "a new ruler brings a new order." With Danzo dead and the Third Hokage gone, Uchiha's coup had succeeded.

Aside from a few individuals who were personally loyal to Danzo and the Third Hokage, there wasn't much resistance to Uchiha taking over the position of Hokage.

Just like a new lion king taking over from the old, once the coup succeeded, the new Hokage position wasn't met with significant opposition.

Most shinobi's loyalty was to Konoha, not to the Third Hokage as an individual.

Just like in ancient times when a prince successfully rebelled, how many people were willing to die with the fallen emperor?

Of course, if the rebellion were by outsiders, it would be different.

But the Uchiha clan was not considered outsiders to Konoha.

In essence, without the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan was Konoha's true, rightful founders.

After matters were settled, preparations for the new Hokage's inauguration began, and the villagers of Konoha were informed.

A document was also sent to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, requesting an official decree to appoint the new Hokage, ensuring all procedures were followed.

The round trip to the Daimyo's court would take at least half a month.

During this time, as the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku assumed the role of acting Hokage.

With everything agreed upon, the Uchiha group returned to their clan grounds.

Next, it was time to address the personnel changes needed after Uchiha secured the Hokage position.

First, the roles of elders Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were not immediately revoked.

However, the position of Hokage advisor, previously held by Danzo, was given to the Uchiha elder.

Additionally, Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, was appointed as another advisor to Konoha.

As for Uchiha Akira? He was to take over as the head of Konoha's Anbu.

Kakashi was designated as the deputy head, becoming Uchiha Akira's subordinate.

Of course, these were just initial plans and had not been officially appointed yet.

The role Uchiha Akira played in this coup was evident to everyone.

His strength was witnessed by the entire village.

Whether it was his prestige or power, taking over as the head of the Anbu was widely accepted without any opposition.

If it weren't for his young age—just seven years old—he might have even been a contender for the Hokage position alongside Fugaku.

Still, many in Uchiha and the wider Konoha believed that if Fugaku became the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Akira would likely be the Sixth Hokage.

"Uh, clan leader, I don't think the position of Anbu head suits me," Uchiha Akira said as he heard he was being considered for the role.

"Oh? Then what are your thoughts?" Fugaku asked, seeing that Uchiha Akira seemed reluctant to take on the role of Anbu head.

"I think I'd be better suited to managing Konoha's finances," Uchiha Akira replied with a smile.

Running the finances of all of Konoha? That's a lot of money.

With that much money passing through his hands, even if a bit fell through his fingers, it would be more than enough to live comfortably.

Having the strength of a Kage was certainly nice.

But the life simulations now cost 1 million ryo per simulation.

The life simulations had become a bottomless pit for money!

Uchiha Akira's words caused the Uchiha elders to exchange strange looks.

He was turning down the position of Anbu head to manage Konoha's finances?

It was well-known that Uchiha Akira had many virtues, but a love of money was also among them.

And now, it seemed that reputation was well-founded.

"Clan leader, clan leader, bad news..."

Before Fugaku could refuse, a Uchiha elite rushed in with a look of urgency.

"What is it?" Fugaku asked calmly, already guessing the reason but feigning ignorance.

"Uchiha Itachi has escaped!" the clan member reported urgently.

This news caused the faces of all the Uchiha elders in the meeting room to change.

They immediately turned suspicious gazes toward Fugaku.

Though he was the clan leader, if he had indeed sheltered Itachi, the other clan members wouldn't accept it.

And Fugaku was the most likely suspect, having the ability and motive to help Itachi escape.

"Impossible!" Fugaku shook his head resolutely. "Those sealing chains—Itachi couldn't have escaped on his own. Someone must have helped him!"

Seeing Fugaku's firm stance and his suggestion that someone assisted Itachi, the elders began to reconsider.

Could it be that Fugaku wasn't involved?

"It was… it was… Young Master Akira..."

Seeing the other elders' reactions, the clan member hesitated but eventually spoke, glancing at Uchiha Akira.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

All eyes in the room turned to Uchiha Akira.

"That's right, it was me," Uchiha Akira admitted without hesitation.

"Why?" Fugaku asked.

Although Uchiha Akira was now seen as a hero of the Uchiha clan, he had released Itachi on his own? There needed to be a good reason.

Uchiha Akira explained that the masked man from last night was mysterious and powerful, so he had decided to allow Itachi to atone by becoming a rogue ninja and investigating the masked man.

Hearing this explanation, the Uchiha elders' expressions softened.

This reasoning was acceptable.

For the sake of Konoha's peace, Uchiha Itachi had even raised a blade against his own clan members.

No one doubted that he would take on the task of watching the masked man as a rogue ninja.

"Hmm, well done. This is a clever strategy, using Itachi's talents to their fullest. So, who else but you could be the head of Konoha's Anbu?" Fugaku nodded in satisfaction, approving of Uchiha Akira's handling of the situation and affirming his decision for the role.

Kapitel 94: Chapter 94: A Reckoning of the Third Hokage's Seven Deadly Sins

No matter how noble Uchiha Itachi's ideals may have been, he betrayed the Uchiha clan and even killed many of its members.

That alone is unforgivable.

Had he remained within the Uchiha territory, his inevitable fate would have been execution on the spot.

So, making a man who was doomed to die serve one last purpose by striving for the peace of the village—was that really a win-win situation?

No, that description doesn't quite fit.

Perhaps the term "waste utilization" is more accurate?

Of course, as Itachi's father, Fugaku could never bring himself to use such a term, and Uchiha Akira understood that.

But after I went out of my way to save your son, you should be grateful. Instead, you force me into the position of Anbu Commander?

Sure, it's a position of real power, second only to the Hokage, but still, Uchiha Akira would much rather have the position of Finance Minister!

"Yes, yes, apart from Young Master Akira, who else could possibly be qualified for this role?"

"I think the Hokage's decision is very appropriate!"

"Wait a minute, isn't our clan leader still just the acting Hokage? Isn't it a bit premature to call him Hokage now?"

"So what? Are you saying the Daimyo won't issue the Hokage's appointment to our clan leader? If that's really the case, then maybe it's time Fire Country found a new Daimyo!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Akira silently rolled his eyes.

Alright, it seems like this position of Anbu Commander is something the clan really wants me to take, and I have no way to refuse!

But, Uchiha truly remains Uchiha. Forcing the Daimyo to issue an appointment decree is just a formality, It's like Napoleon getting the French Senate to recognize him as Emperor, or how Henry VIII had Parliament declare him as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. There's no room for surprises!

If by some chance there were, the Uchiha would likely demand the Fire Country change its Daimyo.

Yeah, that's definitely the Uchiha way!

"Clan Leader, you're not just the leader of the Uchiha anymore; you're also the Hokage of the village. I think it's time for the Uchiha to change the way we interact with the villagers!"

"Back in the early days, the title of Hokage was originally meant for an Uchiha. But in the end, the First Hokage was Senju Hashirama, not Uchiha Madara. A large part of that was due to the Uchiha's arrogance, which made the villagers feel the Uchiha were hard to get along with. Now that we've taken the Hokage's seat, it's best to change that perception!"

Uchiha Akira spoke, taking advantage of the presence of the Uchiha leadership to lay out the situation.

The other Uchiha leaders, hearing Akira speak about the clan's arrogance and the estrangement from the villagers, were well aware of the issue.

Indeed, the title of Hokage was originally intended for the Uchiha.

But to this day, there hasn't been a single Uchiha among the four Hokage, which is indeed a disgrace to the clan.

Now that Akira has brought this up, the Uchiha leaders nodded in agreement.

"So, Akira, do you have any suggestions on how our clan members should interact with the villagers?" Fugaku asked, turning directly to Uchiha Akira. Since he brought up the issue, Fugaku wanted to hear his thoughts on the matter.

Naturally, beyond just assessing Akira's power, Fugaku also wanted to gauge his ability to handle matters as a leader.

"Well, the Third Hokage's public persona was actually quite admirable. His image of being just, upright, and approachable created a perception of him being down-to-earth," Akira began, offering his perspective. "Now, I'm not saying we should imitate the Third, but there is something to be said for his 'Will of Fire'—it's definitely effective."

"So, we can take the concept of the Will of Fire, blend it with our Uchiha traits, and create a version of the Will of Fire that's unique to the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Akira proposed, sharing his thoughts.

In simple terms, isn't this just another form of indoctrination?

The Third Hokage had his way of brainwashing people, so why can't the Uchiha create their own version?

Besides, the Uchiha are now arguably the village's sole founders, giving them a natural advantage that others lack.

"Not bad, Akira's words make a lot of sense!"

"Yes, our clan is indeed due for some changes!"

"An Uchiha-flavored Will of Fire? That sounds quite reasonable. I'm in favor!"

As Uchiha Akira finished speaking, the Uchiha leadership expressed their support, agreeing with Akira's idea.

Although they had no particular fondness for the Third Hokage, they had to admit that the Will of Fire was a pretty effective concept.

Especially when it came to the children at the ninja academy—the impact was even greater.

Case in point: look at how deeply Uchiha Itachi was influenced.

With that, the Uchiha leaders began a lively discussion on how to implement a Uchiha-specific Will of Fire.

Brainwashing tactics? Establishing a righteous image for the Uchiha?

The clan would undergo changes, and this new ideology would be a part of it.

After a lively discussion that lasted over an hour, the idea of an Uchiha-specific Will of Fire began to take shape. They also discussed how to implement it and how the clan members should change their behavior.

"What do you think, Akira? Do you have anything to add?" Fugaku asked, noticing that Uchiha Akira had remained silent after his initial suggestions.

"No, the elders have spoken wisely, and I have no objections," Uchiha Akira replied, first acknowledging the contributions of the senior clan members.

This response earned Akira more nods of approval from the Uchiha leaders, who appreciated his respectful demeanor.

Despite his power and high standing, Akira was neither arrogant nor domineering.

In fact, they began to see Uchiha Akira as the best candidate for the next Hokage.

And by "best," they didn't mean he was just a strong contender; they meant that within the entire Uchiha clan, there was no one else qualified to compete with him for the title of Hokage!

"However…"

But just as Akira said this, he added, "I think there's something else we need to address."

"What do you think needs to be added? Tell us," Fugaku urged, with the other leaders turning their attention to Akira once more.

So far, everything Akira had said had been highly constructive.

"Well, regarding the deaths of Danzo and the Third Hokage, I believe we need to make a public statement to the villagers."

"As I mentioned earlier, the Third Hokage's Will of Fire was quite powerful, and even now, there are probably many villagers and ninja who see us as usurpers!"

"Although no one dares oppose us outright due to our current strength, this sentiment could become a source of unrest in the future, perhaps even sparking future conflicts!"

"So, we need to expose the true, ugly nature of Danzo and the Third Hokage for all to see!"

Uchiha Akira explained, adding his final thoughts.

Indeed, in the world from which I came, when a rebellion succeeded, there was always a need to justify the actions by listing the sins of the deposed rulers. That way, it would seem as if the rebellion was an act of divine will!

Couldn't they just copy from history?

This approach is just as relevant now as it was then!

"Ah! Yes, that's a very timely addition!"

"Indeed, the Third Hokage's Will of Fire was quite strong, and even now, there are still many civilians and ninja who secretly believe that we Uchiha are evil usurpers!"

"Though no one can stop us from taking the Hokage's seat, these people are indeed an unstable factor!"

"Right, we need to expose the Third Hokage's dark side to make it clear that we Uchiha are the heroes who defeated the villains!"

"Akira may only be seven years old, but his insights are far beyond what we old men can come up with!"

"Elder, your grandson truly is remarkable!"

With Uchiha Akira's suggestion, the clan leaders began to see the wisdom in his words, one after another voicing their agreement.

At the same time, praise for Akira flowed freely, making his grandfather smile so widely that the corners of his mouth nearly reached his ears!

As an old man, what's the one thing he loves to hear most? Praise for his grandson, of course!

That's even better than being praised directly or hearing compliments about his son!

At just seven years old, Akira had shown the courage and determination to confront the Third Hokage on his own!

He even possessed the strength to open the Eight Gates!

And now, he displayed such political acumen and strategic thinking!

Up until now, the clan had believed that Shisui and Itachi were the true geniuses of the Uchiha.

But now it seemed that Uchiha Akira was even more exceptional—perhaps even perfect!

Fugaku carefully considered Akira's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, everyone, let's discuss the Third Hokage's failings—where did he go wrong, and how can we completely tarnish his image?"

With that, Fugaku turned to the Uchiha elders, encouraging them to brainstorm ways to discredit the Third Hokage.

"Clan Leader, I've already compiled a list of the Third Hokage's seven deadly sins, enough to completely ruin his reputation!" Uchiha Akira said, his voice low and ominous…
