Chương 1: Chapter 1: I Am an Uchiha
Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village, Naka Shrine.
Today is the monthly gathering of the Uchiha clan.
The purpose of the gathering is to cultivate relationships between the various factions of the clan, resolve conflicts among clan members, and incidentally discuss how to enter the Konoha Elders, or even become the Hokage.
Currently, although the Uchiha Clan is not favored by the Konoha Elders, it hasn't escalated to a life-and-death situation. Generally, they just avoid each other.
Bam!
An elderly Uchiha Elder with white hair and a face full of wrinkles slammed the table and stood up. He glared angrily at the Clan Head sitting at the head and the group of elderly Uchiha around him. Due to his excessive excitement, his voice had become much sharper.
"The position of Second Hokage was personally handed over by Senju Hashirama to his brother Tobirama. Due to the passing of Uchiha Kagami, we watched helplessly as the position of Third Hokage fell to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now, the position of the Fourth Hokage has gone to Minato Namikaze. What happened to the promises of securing the second, contesting the third, and charging for the fourth?
What kind of nonsense plan have you all devised?
Decades have passed, and I haven't even touched the seat of the Hokage once."
At this point, he saw that all the old men around either stared at the ceiling or looked at the floor, not a single one glancing in his direction.
"What?
Are you still rushing towards the position of the Fifth Hokage??
Minato Namikaze is only 24 years old this year, looking at that guy's long-lived appearance, he can easily live for 50 years.
50 years??
Your sons are all damn dead."
"Alas!"
Uchiha Fugaku sighed lightly in his heart. He withdrew his hand from his sleeve and calmly looked at the irritable old man.
As the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, he had seen such things many times before.
Many clan members were not in good spirits. When things didn't go well, they reacted excessively. Some even challenged his position as Clan Head at the drop of a hat.
Exhausted.
After a moment of silence, Fugaku pressed down on the other person's hand, gesturing for him to sit down, then looked at the clan members in the hall.
Everyone here for the meeting was a member of the Uchiha Clan who had activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
"Elder Ryoichi, please sit down first."
"I won't!"
Uchiha Ryoichi waved his hand to refuse the Clan Head's kindness. He stepped forward to confront the old man opposite, grabbing his collar with both hands and gritting his teeth.
"You old man, it was you who proposed the plan to secure the second, contest the third, and charge for the fourth, right?"
"That's right!"
"Now the plan has failed."
"Ryoichi, don't panic, I still have follow-up plans."
"Your follow-up plans can go to hell!"
"My grandfather died when he and Madara-sama entered Konoha."
Pah!
Wiping off the splattered spit from his face, Uchiha Asuka glanced disdainfully at the two old men arguing nearby. Then, he gazed up at the ceiling, letting his mind slowly drift.
He had been in the ninja world for 18 years now. Initially, when he found out he had transmigrated into the Uchiha Clan, he was somewhat excited.
But then, shortly after his first birthday, he lost that excitement.
The Second Shinobi World War left him the only one left in his family.
By the time he was three and capable of acting on his own, and realized he didn't have any special abilities, he had already started thinking about how to leave the Uchiha Clan and make a living somewhere else. Even if it meant working for another village, he could still live a prosperous life.
However, after examining the clan's history, he dismissed the idea of leaving.
Fleeing and living incognito was possible, but after choosing to become a seed for another village, not only would he face endless assassination attempts from Konoha, but he would also be hunted down by his own clan.
Moreover, there was an unspoken agreement among the major ninja villages to reject any rogue ninjas.
It's very likely that after those villages sheltered him and he left descendants, they would simply cut him down.
In the past, certain Uchiha clan members who defected would often inexplicably die while traveling.
Anyway, upon seeing their end, Asuka immediately started concocting conspiracy theories in his mind.
To prevent the Sharingan or Indra from slipping out of his control, that loyal son Black Zetsu was probably secretly scheming behind his back.
After realizing that being a seed was too dangerous, he began studying commerce again.
After a few days of research, Asuka once again killed the idea of commerce in his mind.
The technology tree in the ninja world is really weird.
Electricity, Chakra, and wind energy are all there.
Light bulbs, white paper, and cement are cheaper than before crossing.
Farming, medicine, and other industries are even more cheating. No machinery can be used, relying entirely on magic output with two hands.
After killing the business road, he started studying the ninja road.
It is said that hard work can change fate, but this sentence is not suitable for the ninja world. The ninja world is about blood changing fate.
He possessed one of the top bloodlines in the ninja world, and since childhood, he had diligently studied and trained in ninja skills. He believed that he would surely become wealthy and distinguished in the future, not just mediocre. Even if he wasn't as good as Uchiha Itachi, he should at least have the ability to protect himself.
But it wasn't until he went to the battlefield that he realized he couldn't compare with the biological son of the Six Paths (Sasuke's brother), which was simply lowering their upper limit.
[The first time Uchiha Itachi went to the battlefield, he activated his Sharingan upon seeing the horrific scenes.]
The first time he went to the battlefield and saw such horrific scenes, he was stunned.
[When Uchiha Itachi saw the battlefield littered with ninja corpses, he pondered the meaning of life.]
When he saw ninja corpses scattered across the battlefield, he pondered whether he should desert now to avoid dying senselessly to blades and kunai on the battlefield.
[When Uchiha Itachi witnessed familiar comrades dying before his eyes, his Sharingan evolved, greatly enhancing his strength.]
When he saw familiar comrades die before his eyes, his thoughts elevated, and his character underwent tremendous growth.
And then everything that happened afterwards followed the usual pattern: going to school, graduating, participating in wars, unlocking the Sharingan, participating in wars again, and then unlocking the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
After the Third Shinobi World War ended, he became one of the few Jonin in the Uchiha Clan and gained the privilege to attend clan meetings.
"A meeting??"
Watching the group of arguing old men, Uchiha Asuka twitched his mouth. Before coming to the meeting, he thought the atmosphere here would be exceptionally serious, discussing topics related to the Hokage and the future of the Uchiha.
But upon arriving, he discovered the atmosphere was unusually cheerful, and the topics discussed had little to do with the Hokage, if at all.
Well, discussing the Hokage topic probably lost its novelty for these old men after decades of talking about it.
This meeting is really boring.
Gurgle~ Gurgle~
Feeling his stomach protest, Uchiha Asuka stood up in the middle of the hall to end this boring meeting quickly. He faced Fugaku and the group of Elders and said,
"Elders, stop arguing. I have a way to make the Uchiha Clan the Fifth Hokage."
"Hmm?"
As this young voice sounded, the arguing Elders instantly fell silent. They turned to look at Uchiha Asuka, who had just spoken.
Seeing the newly promoted Jonin standing up, Ryoichi raised an eyebrow at Asuka and asked in curiosity,
"Speak up. Let this old man see what interesting ideas the young Uchiha of today have."
"My idea is..."
After observing the expressions of the Uchiha Clan Jonin in the hall, Asuka rubbed his empty stomach, took a deep breath, and continued,
"Clan Head Fugaku, why not consider divorcing and then pursue Tsunade-sama, the current Clan Head of the Senju Clan of the Forest?
Currently, the Senju Clan of the Forest only has Tsunade-sama left. If our clans form an alliance through marriage, not only will the future Fifth Hokage surely belong to the Uchiha, but over time, the Senju Clan of the Forest will also be integrated into the Uchiha."
During the Warring States period, those clan members dreamt of annexing the Senju Clan.
"Nowadays, achieving the feat of annexing the Senju Clan, if Clan Head Fugaku can accomplish it, would be a feat worthy of being engraved on stone monuments and passed down through the ages."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the hall had become unusually quiet. At this moment, the sound of a pin dropping would be as loud as the shattering of a water glass.
The gazes of the Uchiha Elders constantly shifted between Fugaku and Asuka.
"Hmph!"
A scarred-faced Elder stood up, turned towards Asuka, and spoke in a low voice,
"The prestigious Konoha clan actually has to rely on the Clan Head selling himself out just to become the Hokage. Even if I agree to this dubious idea, others won't, and the Clan Head certainly won't either."
"That's right!"
An Uchiha Elder, who had lost one eye, nodded in agreement.
"What a dubious idea! Mixing Uchiha with the Senju of the Forest. Although our 'secure second, contest third, charge fourth' plan failed, it doesn't stop us from aiming for the Fifth Hokage again."
"Fuck your bullshit!"
At this moment, the Elder named Ryoichi stood up again, pointing angrily at the blind Elder across from him.
"When Madara-sama was still around, we aimed for the position of Hokage. But after the founding of the village, Madara-sama and your fathers gave the Hokage position to the Senju clan. We then aimed for the position of Second Hokage. However, less than two years after the village was founded, Madara-sama suddenly left Konoha.
Our swords broke.
Later, Uchiha Kagami worked hard and finally became the Second Hokage's guard. We aimed for the position of Third Hokage again. However, when he accompanied the Second Hokage for negotiations in the Land of Lightning, he died on the way. Our newly repaired sword broke again shortly after.
Then, at the end of the Second Shinobi World War, we hastily chose another person to act as a figurehead again, aiming for the position of Third Hokage once more. After all, at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's position hadn't stabilized yet."
Little did we expect that the person chosen turned out to be an idiot. Leading the clan's ninjas in battle for a year, they won fewer times than the number of times this old man goes to the bathroom in a day, severely tarnishing the clan's reputation.
After the start of the Third Shinobi World War, the Clan Head finally had a chance to become a candidate for Hokage. We aimed for the position of Fourth Hokage once again. But then that freak Minato Namikaze appeared, and before our sword could even be unsheathed, it broke right at our doorstep."
At this point, he swallowed his saliva, cleared his throat, and continued pointing angrily at the blind old man.
"And now you want to lead me to aim for the position of Fifth Hokage? Screw you.
If relying on the Clan Head selling himself out can make you Hokage, I'll accept it. When I go to the Pure Land in the future, I will personally kneel before Madara-sama and explain this."
Watching the Uchiha in the hall gradually splitting into two factions, with hints of physical confrontation, Asuka quietly retreated to the doorway. As he slipped out of the hall, he casually closed the door from the outside.
"Tsk tsk!"
Turning his head to look at the group behind him still erupting in argument, Asuka smirked but said nothing.
The Uchiha clan was somewhat mentally abnormal. As a result, the management of the clan was naturally lax. During gatherings, not only could they speak freely, but physical confrontations and debates over Ninjutsu outcomes were also allowed.
His proposal just now, suggesting that the Clan Head divorce and marry Tsunade as a way to indirectly become the Fifth Hokage, successfully ignited those clan members who had failed in aiming for the position of Fourth Hokage.
They're insane!
With that said, Asuka used Body Flicker Technique to leave directly. He planned to go back, pack up his things, witness the Fourth Hokage's wedding, and then defect.
Ah, forget it, no more tough talk.
