Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

Madara Uchiha, have you no shame? How could you bring up something like this in that situation?

Tobirama Senju cursed Madara Uchiha in his mind over and over again, while verbally refuting Uchiha Nan's blunt truth.

Uchiha Nan listened patiently to Tobirama Senju's rebuttal, then smiled slightly and said:

"Anxious?"

Uchiha Nan's face was full of sarcasm.

"I'm in a hurry, you son of a bitch!"

"****"

"Uchiha Nan, you *****"

A simple, urgent remark caused Tobirama Senju to break down again.

He had never hated an Uchiha so much, not even the brothers Madara and Izuna.

"Okay, okay, calm down."

"We are all people of status, we are all Hokage of Konoha, how can you start by swearing?"

"The world is so wonderful, yet you, Tobirama-sama, are so irritable. This is not good, not good at all!"

Seeing that Tobirama Senju's insults were getting increasingly offensive and completely lacking his usual calm and wise demeanor, Uchiha Nan stepped forward to try and dissuade him.

If Tobirama continued to berate him like that, Uchiha Nan was afraid he would lose his temper and beat Tobirama up.

After all, Tobirama's insults were so harsh, he used asterisks (*).

"Hmph, hmph, I won't stoop to your level!"

"Evil Uchiha brat!"

Senju Tobirama, panting heavily, realized his lapse in composure.

The Uchiha brat before me is truly formidable; with just a few words, he has disturbed my mind and plunged me into irrational rage.

He was the calm and wise Tobirama Senju; how could he possibly let a mere evil Uchiha brat influence his mind?

Sharingan! It must be a Sharingan genjutsu!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost my mind so easily.

Tobirama Senju raised his level of concern for Uchiha Nan to another level.

They could cast illusions on me so silently that I didn't even notice.

It's so terrifying!

Next, I must calm down, I absolutely must calm down!

Only by remaining calm can we find Uchiha Nan's potential weaknesses and ultimately escape!

"Let me tell you, the original purpose of Konoha was to break down the barriers between the various ninja clans, to let them put aside their clan conflicts, to be tolerant and understanding of each other, and to create a peaceful environment together."

Tobirama Senju decided to state the original intention behind the founding of Konoha directly, without letting Uchiha Kusunoki answer, lest that evil brat spout some shocking remarks that would disturb his mind.

Chapter 60 Tobirama-sama, you've never considered the Uchiha clan as comrades, have you?

"Yes, yes, I know, please continue."

"Please get to the point; there's no need to go over these old, tired things."

Uchiha Nan picked at his ear. He thought to himself that such words were just for show, and that probably only an idealist like the First Hokage in the entire Hidden Leaf Village would take them seriously.

The man before him, Tobirama Senju, was a disgusting and dark-skinned old man. His words carried no weight whatsoever, especially since he himself was an Uchiha, one of the people Tobirama discriminated against.

Damn little devil!

Seeing Uchiha Nan's nonchalant attitude, Tobirama Senju's anger began to rise again.

"Kid, this is important!"

Tobirama Senju's tone was unfriendly, and his expression was serious. Seeing this, Uchiha Nan's expression softened somewhat, and then Tobirama Senju continued:

"Konoha does not belong to one person, nor to one family; it belongs to everyone in Konoha."

"And the Senju clan already has two Hokage."

“There are already rumors within the clan that the Senju clan is the next Konoha. When my older brother and I were still alive, we could suppress the ambitions of our clan members, but now my older brother is dead. When I also die, if the position of Third Hokage is really passed on to the Senju clan, who will be able to suppress this force?”

"Momoma certainly has the ability and qualifications to become Hokage, but he happens to have the surname Senju."

Tobirama Senju calmly stated his reasons without any expression on his face.

Great!

Uchiha Nan immediately began to treat Senju Tobirama with new respect.

In ancient times, once a dynasty lasted for three generations, it basically possessed dynastic inertia. As long as there was no incompetent ruler, the dynasty could last for more than a hundred years.

The same applies to the Hokage position. If Tobirama Senju had actually passed the Hokage position to Momoma Senju, then the next few Hokage would probably all have the surname Senju.

Enough!

For the sake of Konoha, they even schemed against their own clan, forcefully severing the Senju clan's dominance over Konoha for several years, a decade, or even several decades.

"well said!"

"Lord Tobirama is truly selfless!"

"But you still haven't answered all my questions. Why did it have to be Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

Uchiha Nan's gaze was intense as he looked at Senju Tobirama. He couldn't let himself be fooled by something so simple.

Why can't Uchiha Kagami work?

"If you can choose Hiruzen Sarutobi as Hokage, how much worse can Kagami Uchiha be?"

"Considering his personal strength, family influence, personal character, and willpower, Uchiha Kagami seems to be the most suitable candidate to become Hokage."

"The Uchiha were also the founders of Konoha. Your Senju clan has produced two Hokage, so it should be the Uchiha's turn."

Uchiha Nan's question was so forceful that it choked Tobirama Senju's words.

Tobirama Senju, you are so fair and impartial, you have calculated everything. The Senju clan has produced two Hokage, but we Uchiha clan are still waiting to eat meat.

You really don't consider the Uchiha clan human beings? You've eaten your fill and now you want to smash the pot?

Tobirama Senju was speechless. His words had been too beautiful, too grand, but the Uchiha clan couldn't escape this hurdle. Kagami Uchiha certainly deserved to be Hokage; his strength and character were both top-notch. But he was, by nature, an Uchiha!

But the Uchiha clan can't be Hokage. Tobirama Senju knew all too well what kind of people your clan were; they were all potential lunatics and psychopaths.

I misjudged you, Uchiha Nan, even while I was alive. What if he chose Uchiha Kagami to become the Third Hokage, and then he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and became a madman?

The mad Hokage is leading a group of mad Uchiha. Tobirama Senju absolutely cannot put Konoha in such a dangerous situation.

Although things have turned out this way, it was an unexpected situation for him; Tobirama Senju could not have created such a dangerous predicament by his own hand.

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, Tobirama Senju wouldn't do it.

"Can't say it?"

"Lord Tobirama, then I'll speak."

"You've never considered the Uchiha as comrades, have you? You've always been using the Uchiha's power, trying to make them Konoha's watchdogs."

"To make the Uchiha feel secure in being their dogs, they even handed over the security department to the Uchiha in a seemingly respectable way. It's just a dog leash!"

Uchiha Nan didn't give Tobirama Senju any face and directly revealed Tobirama Senju's thoughts.

The Uchiha Police Department wields considerable power, ranging from apprehending spies to managing Konoha's daily patrols, and even possesses an armed force independent of the Anbu.

However, Tobirama Senju was clearly not a good person. He knew the Uchiha's nature all too well. In the game of political power struggles, the Uchiha were no better than the Hyuga.

Under his suppression and deliberate guidance, the Uchiha had subconsciously come to see themselves as Konoha police officers, dealing with petty theft and acting as city management officers every day.

Should we make the Uchiha clan members work as police officers and city management officers?

Anyone who knows what a policeman does every day knows it's no easy job. Trivial, tedious little things torment the Uchiha every day.

The Uchiha are born warriors, each one incredibly proud, born only to laugh wildly.

The spirit of maintaining a smile and serving the villagers is impossible. How can you expect the arrogant Uchiha to put on a smiling face for ordinary villagers?

That's a joke.

The Uchiha clan is known for its brutal enforcement of the law, often giving the villagers a sour look. Sometimes they even solve cases using genjutsu, which is absolutely forbidden in Konoha. Konoha ninjas are prohibited from using ninjutsu on villagers.

However, this ban was obviously of no use to the Uchiha clan. Any villager who complained was brought directly to the police headquarters for questioning.

The Uchiha clan never held an advantage on the power stage, never entered the core of power, and over time they even lost the hearts of the people at the very bottom.

In other words, it is currently a time of war. The Uchiha have sacrificed their lives for Konoha, and many of their clansmen have died. The villagers of Konoha still need to rely on the Uchiha's military strength to protect themselves.

When peacetime arrives, the villagers are quick to forget, and it won't be long before they forget how much blood the Uchiha shed and how many clansmen died protecting them.

The same group of people went from insulting and bullying Naruto to praising him as a hero of Konoha.

These accumulated resentments and hatreds will slowly backfire on the Uchiha clan.

What's even more deadly is that the future backbone of Konoha in the original story belongs to commoner ninjas. The powerful bloodline ninja clans have all vanished like smoke in the blink of an eye. Those commoner ninjas are the descendants of the villagers who were subjected to violent law enforcement by the Uchiha on a daily basis.

The Uchiha clan has offended everyone in Konoha, from top to bottom, yet they still dream of becoming Hokage?

Stop dreaming!

Chapter 61 Tobirama-sama, I can't live without you!

"Lord Tobirama, you don't want any Uchiha clan members to become Hokage, do you?"

Uchiha Nan saw through Senju Tobirama's thoughts. From the beginning, Uchiha Nan had no unrealistic expectations of Senju Tobirama, hoping to become Hokage by gaining his approval. Otherwise, he would have agreed to become Tobirama's disciple in the first place.

“You’re right, that’s exactly what I think.”

Tobirama Senju frankly admitted his thoughts, directly and openly. Since Uchiha Nan had already made everything clear, there was no need for him to keep hiding anything.

At the same time, Tobirama Senju's last bit of underestimation of Uchiha Nan disappeared; this kid was even smarter than he had imagined.

They had already figured out that the Uchiha Security Department was a poisonous bait. In the past, Tobirama Senju had calculated that even if the Uchiha knew everything, they would not give up this delicious bait.

However, it is more likely that the Uchiha clan would regard the Uchiha Police Department, which they bestowed upon them, as a symbol of honor, a private territory belonging to the Uchiha, and happily act as Konoha's watchdog until the very last moment of Konoha.
