Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

If ninjas still have some ability to protect themselves, then those clansmen who did not become ninjas are almost powerless to resist this ninjutsu, which is almost like a natural disaster.

Therefore, this is also a good opportunity for the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha and stay away from trouble. Moreover, since you have been wary of me and don't want me to grow stronger, I will simply leave this game of the ninja village and walk away, no longer playing with you.

The Uchiha clan hadn't seized the opportunity before, clinging tightly to the police force like a precious treasure. Little did they know, the police force was a place where they could offend people and had no say. Now, the huge pie that was Konoha Village had already been divided up by other large and small clans in Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan wants to ease tensions with the residents of Konoha, they must abandon the police force, an organization that offends people. At the very least, they cannot allow the Uchiha clan to stand alone against the residents of Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan wants to grow stronger, it will inevitably encroach on the interests of others, leading to constant conflicts with other clans, large and small. Furthermore, if the Uchiha clan becomes too powerful and makes too much noise, it may provoke a united resistance from these other clans.

Don't think that 'Kotoamatsukami' is omnipotent. After all, the cooldown time of 'Kotoamatsukami' is too long, and the number of people it can change is also limited.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan understood that in the ninja world, everything else was fake; only one's own power was real.

Uchiha Kakuyama rubbed his head in distress. It seemed that if he wanted the Uchiha clan to prosper, he still had to separate the Uchiha from Konoha. The Uchiha clan also had its own pride and would not break its backbone in order to get along well with the residents of Konoha.

Now that the decision has been made to remove the Uchiha clan from Konoha, there is still much to be done.

Before the Uchiha Shisui incident, a suitable location for the Uchiha clan should be chosen. Ideally, it should be surrounded by the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and geographically far away from other countries, not next to them.

Uchiha Kakuzan got up and went to the bookshelf, taking out a map of the ninja world. In this era, a relatively accurate map was considered a strategic resource. If Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't become a Jonin, he wouldn't have had such a map.

Qiu Shan spread the map on the table and carefully searched for places that met his requirements. The main places were overseas islands or coastal areas.

As the sun rose to its zenith, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the map with a complex expression, his eyes fixed on a particular spot. It was a large island, surrounded by the sea, not far from the mainland, and had arable land and water sources, more than enough to support tens of thousands of people, perfectly meeting Uchiha Kakuyama's requirements.

What gave Uchiha Kakuzan a complicated expression was the name marked on this island—the Land of Whirlpools.

Yes, that's Kushina Uzumaki's homeland, the place where the Uzumaki clan established their nation. The Uzumaki clan are distant relatives of the Senju clan, inheriting part of the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Body, and are known for their massive chakra reserves, powerful vitality, and sealing techniques.

Because of the long-standing friendship with the Senju clan, and because the wife of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was the Uzumaki clan princess, Mito Uzumaki, she sealed the Nine-Tails into herself to assist Hashirama Senju in managing Konoha, becoming the first Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

Chapter 22 Persuading the Grand Elder

Chapter Twenty-Two: Persuading the Grand Elder

The seeds of the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools were sown at this time.

In order to maintain peace among the various countries and balance their power, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, distributed the One-Tailed to Eight-Tailed beasts to the various ninja villages.

While the First Hokage was alive, other ninja villages dared not harbor ill intentions. However, after the deaths of the First and Second Hokage, the Senju clan lacked capable figures, and the Uzumaki clan's top combat leader also passed away. In order to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, which could seal their own village's tailed beasts and obtain their own Jinchuriki, various ninja villages launched an invasion of the Land of Whirlpools.

When faced with the Uzumaki clan's plea for help, the Third Hokage had many ulterior motives. He delayed responding to the call for help, citing the fact that the village was going through a war and lacked manpower, which led to the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools and the theft of the sealing techniques.

To the Third Hokage's surprise, each ninja village successively acquired its own Jinchūriki, and some villages even directly possessed perfect Jinchūriki, greatly increasing their combat power and putting Konoha Village in a very passive position.

In summary, the Land of Whirlpools possessed what all the other ninja villages desperately needed, yet lacked powerful figures they feared. Meanwhile, Konoha, which had always maintained friendly relations with the Land of Whirlpools, proved unreliable this time (it could also be another political exchange orchestrated by the Third Hokage), leading to the Land's annihilation.

Therefore, don't rely on others for everything; in critical moments, only you can truly depend on yourself.

Uchiha Kakuzan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then forcefully pointed his finger at the location of the Land of Whirlpools, thus determining the future clan home of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan is not lacking in skilled fighters. Including Itachi Uchiha, there are four pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan. Although Shisui Uchiha's eye techniques cannot be used lightly, it doesn't prevent him from activating Susanoo. Moreover, even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui Uchiha is still a Kage-level fighter.

The Uchiha clan has far more skilled fighters than the Uzumaki clan back then, and they also have quite a few Kage-level fighters. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to provoke the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Sharingan and carefully memorized the map spread out on the table. After tidying up his room, he didn't rush to discuss the relocation with the elder and clan head. Besides, even if the Uchiha clan moved away, a small group would remain in Konoha to take care of the students studying there. After all, building clan land was easy, but setting up a school was not something that could be done in a short time.

After lunch, Uchiha Kakuyama brewed a cup of tea, sat under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, looked at the clan emblem on the courtyard wall that resembled a ping-pong paddle, took a sip of tea, and let out a satisfied sigh.

From yesterday when I received the system until now, it's only been one day. With the system's help and my own wisdom, I've crossed the threshold of the Sharingan Mangekyou Sharingan, greatly improving my strength. I'm no longer an unknown Uchiha Jonin, but someone who can step out of the game and become the actual ruler of the Uchiha clan, the one who plays the game.

Time flies, and an afternoon has passed in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Okayama's Sharingan has finally adapted and is no longer sore and swollen.

Next, we need to visit the Grand Elder and get him to agree to the Uchiha relocation. As for the clan head, we also need to make a show of it and go through the motions.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Uchiha Kakuyama entered the Great Elder's courtyard. Since the Great Elder's wife had died, and the Great Elder disliked having anyone serve him, this rather large courtyard was inhabited only by the Great Elder.

Uchiha Kakuzan knocked on the door slowly and deliberately, and only entered after hearing the elder's response.

The First Elder, Uchiha Rin, was leisurely brewing tea in the reception room, smiling as he said:

"I knew you'd come today."

Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat surprised: "Did the Grand Elder know I was coming?"

The Grand Elder nodded, replying somewhat mysteriously, "You should have noticed it, right?"

Uchiha Kakuzan was a little confused by the elder's question: "Sensed about what?"

Seeing Qiu Shan's appearance, the First Elder was somewhat disappointed: "Your Mangekyou Sharingan should have awakened their eye techniques by now, right?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly realized that the elder thought he had come to ask him about eye techniques. He was about to deny the elder's idea, but then reconsidered and nodded in agreement, only intending to tell him part of the truth.

"Yes, Elder, my Mangekyou Sharingan has awakened a dojutsu, and I've even tried it out, but the result wasn't good, so I've come to ask you for advice."

The elder became interested when he heard that Uchiha Kakuyama had already used his eye technique once.

"You've already used it? What are its effects? You can't use it too often in the future, or it will damage your Sharingan."

Uchiha Kakuzan decided to tell the Grand Elder about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, hoping it would help persuade the Grand Elder to allow the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha.

Uchiha Kakuyama's expression was somewhat grave:

"My Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique awakened after I went back last night. It felt very strange, as if this eye technique was naturally embedded in my eyes, and even without activating it, I could understand its general function."

Upon hearing this, the elder nodded: "These are the eye techniques that naturally awaken after the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Everyone is different, and each one is naturally the most suitable for their nature. If a person likes to attack, then the awakened eye technique will most likely be a highly offensive one. If a person likes to hide, then the awakened eye technique should be conducive to concealment. If a person likes to escape, then it may be an eye technique that allows for acceleration or flight."

After the elder finished speaking, he chuckled and said, "I deliberately didn't tell you yesterday, just to give you a surprise. Haha, kid, you were startled yesterday, weren't you?"

Hearing the elder's childlike words, Uchiha Kakuzan almost burst out laughing. He quickly controlled his expression and sighed solemnly, "Elder, do you know what kind of eye technique I awakened?"

At this moment, the First Elder also sensed that something was wrong with Uchiha Kakuyama and his smile disappeared.

"What kind of eye technique is causing you this much discomfort?"

Uchiha Kakuyama raised his head, looked at the elder, twitched his lips, and finally activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, using Uchiha Fugaku's eye technique, Genjutsu. Of course, he didn't use his full strength, only a slight pull, which even an ordinary ninja could easily break free from.

"Elder, please don't resist. I'll show you what I saw with my eye technique yesterday."

The elder, a wise man, looked at Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan and asked, "A precognitive type?"

Seeing that Uchiha Kakuyama nodded, the elder did not resist any further and entered the illusion space.

Chapter 23 The Inherited Item

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Inherited Item

Although Uchiha Kakuzan did not possess any precognitive eye techniques, he did have Uchiha Fugaku's eye technique 'Illusion - Momentary Time and Space', and he also knew about the future annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, he directly used Uchiha Fugaku's illusion to create a realistic image of the future death of Uchiha Shisui and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and showed it to the Grand Elder.

Of course, he replaced Itachi Uchiha from the night of the Uchiha massacre with a masked person. Itachi Uchiha would still be of great use in the future. He wasn't afraid that the Grand Elder would be wary of Itachi Uchiha, but he was afraid that the Grand Elder would kill Itachi when he wasn't paying attention.

This is not impossible. The Grand Elder is not Fugaku Uchiha. He devoted his entire life to the Uchiha clan, and if he knew that Itachi Uchiha would be the one to wipe out the Uchiha clan in the future, he would do anything to eliminate this hidden danger.

Uchiha Kakuzan only showed the Grand Elder some fragments and scenes. Near the end of these fragments, Uchiha Kakuzan had a flash of inspiration and also showed the scene of Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, invading Konoha Village and razing Konoha Village to the ground with a 'Super Shinra Tensei'. This would make it much easier to persuade the Grand Elder to leave Konoha Village.

As for the scene where Nagato is persuaded by Naruto to revive all the dead people of Konoha, that's obviously not included. (I'm not lying; I'm just telling part of the truth.)

Since the illusionary eye technique used by Uchiha Kakuzan was merely a genjutsu and lacked any mental destructive power, and its duration was short—essentially like showing the Grand Elder a 3D movie—it exerted very little strain on Uchiha Kakuzan. (Hmm, another use for eye techniques discovered.)

After showing the Grand Elder these clips in the illusionary space, Uchiha Kakuzan and the Grand Elder withdrew from it.

The elder's expression of shock lingered for a long time. It wasn't until Uchiha Kakuyama had almost finished his tea that the elder finally came to his senses.

The elder took a small sip of tea, let out a long sigh, and looked as if he had aged several years, even his once straight back had become slightly bent.

Uchiha Kakuyama then remembered that the First Elder was also a contemporary of the Third Hokage, and their age was considered advanced in the ninja world.

At this moment, the First Elder finally spoke, saying with a hint of self-mockery, "I never imagined that our dignified Uchiha clan would end up being wiped out."

"Even Shisui was killed by them. Sigh, Shisui was a good kid in every way, but he was too kind and worried too much. Otherwise, with his strength, how could he have been killed so easily?"

After the elder finished speaking, several tears streamed down his face.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw the elder shed tears, he had no intention of mocking him, knowing that the elder genuinely cared for these outstanding younger members of the Uchiha clan.

Instead, he advised, "Elder, this hasn't happened yet. I've already reminded Zhishui and made preparations to ensure that he can live peacefully."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the elder wiped away his tears, suppressed his sorrow, and his expression turned serious, revealing a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Not to mention that Shisui's death was inextricably linked to the Third Hokage and the old scoundrel Danzo, even the arrangements around our clan's territory on the night our clan was wiped out were the work of the Third Hokage and Danzo. Otherwise, even if that masked Uchiha traitor was Madara-sama resurrected, he couldn't have wiped out our Uchiha clan so quietly."

Then, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face: "But your Konoha Village didn't fare any better. Within a few years, the enemy attacked and destroyed the village."

At this point, the elder's face showed a look of surprise and doubt again: "Those eyes... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before..." With that, he got up and walked out of the reception room.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't urge him, knowing that the Grand Elder had gone to find the ancient texts passed down through the Uchiha clan. The reason the Grand Elder held such a superior position was because the ancient texts passed down through the Uchiha clan were preserved by the Grand Elder's lineage. Even the clan head only had the right to peruse them, and could not take them away without special circumstances.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan has always had a lineage of the clan head and a lineage of the Grand Elder, who check and balance each other and help each other. Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would not have been able to survive for so long.

Uchiha Kakuzan only waited a short while before the First Elder entered, carrying a somewhat old book. He carefully wiped the table before solemnly placing the book on it and opening it to read.

After a short while, the Grand Elder stopped reading, let out a long sigh, and nodded:

"That's right, I never expected these eyes to actually appear. What an eventful time."

The elder saw that Uchiha Kakuyama was looking at him with some confusion, and then explained:

"I noticed that the person who broke into Konoha had rather unusual eyes that looked familiar, so I tried looking through some of the books passed down from our Uchiha clan, and I was surprised to actually find them."

The elder said with longing in his eyes, "Those eyes are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths—the Rinnegan. It is said to be extremely powerful, possessing many incredible abilities, and even capable of reversing life and death, bringing the dead back to life."

"It seems that the technique he used to destroy Konoha was one of the abilities of the Rinnegan, otherwise it wouldn't have been so powerful."

Uchiha Kakuzan, intrigued, took the book from the elder and turned to the page describing the Rinnegan. There was a drawing of the Rinnegan, identical to Nagato's, with the words: "The Six Paths Eye, also known as the Rinnegan, possesses many incredible abilities. It can see into the underworld, communicate with spirits, fly without wings, distinguish truth from falsehood, recognize lies, and has the power to revive those from the underworld."

Uchiha Kakuzan flipped through a few more pages and found that they were all about strange and extraordinary people and events from ancient times to the present, which broadened his horizons.

Uchiha Okayama was deeply impressed. This was the legacy of the Uchiha clan. It wasn't just the power of the Sharingan that they inherited, but also their knowledge, experience, and coping strategies. This was the key to supporting a clan.

Knowing that these were books from the Uchiha clan's collection, Uchiha Kakuyama held them in his hands, unwilling to let go. He shamelessly said to the elder, "I'll take these back and take a look. I'll return them to you after I've finished reading them."

The elder laughed at Uchiha Kakuzan's shameless behavior and waved his hand: "Take it if you want to read it. There aren't many people like you who like reading these days. I sent some to that bastard Uchiha Fugaku when he became the clan leader, but he didn't read a single one and sent them all back to me."

“I have several hundred books like this here. If I wasn’t worried you’d lose them, I would have given them all to you.”

Chapter 24 Entrustment

Chapter Twenty-Four: Entrustment

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan, fearing the elder might change his mind, quickly nodded.

"I have a place to store them, please give them to me."

The elder, upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, did not agree but instead sneered:

"What do you take this for, a cabbage? This is the accumulation of our Uchiha clan over thousands of years, the inheritance of our Uchiha clan, the foundation upon which our Uchiha clan stands, you know that, kid?"

"One of the responsibilities of our lineage, the Great Elder, is to protect them, and at the same time, to record certain things and pass them down..."

The elder paused, took a sip of tea, and then continued:

"I've said all this not to show off, but to tell you the importance of these texts. If you hadn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, you wouldn't even be qualified to access these things, let alone read them. In the entire Uchiha clan, only the clan head has the authority to consult them."

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with them, but these books not only record the strange and wonderful stories of the ninja world, but also the detailed development of our Uchiha clan over the past thousand years. If they were to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would be a huge disaster for our Uchiha clan."

As the elder spoke, he pointed to his heart. "To protect these scriptures, not only is there a barrier in the library, but the explosive tags inside are also connected to my heartbeat. We Uchiha are experts in genjutsu, so even an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan user cannot control me instantly. And if you kill me, the scriptures in the library will be instantly destroyed by the explosive tags. Even if I die, I will not leave any future trouble for the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Kyuuyama was deeply moved by the elder's words. He had never imagined that the elder would go to such lengths for the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuyama was silent for a moment, then looked at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, do you trust me?"

The elder nodded: "Although you are a bit slick, you are still a good person at heart. If I didn't trust you, why would I have told you so much?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan stretched out his arm, placed his hand on the elder's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Don't resist."

Although the Grand Elder had some doubts, he still nodded.

Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, casually marked a spatial imprint in the Grand Elder's house, nodded to the Grand Elder, and activated his Dojutsu—'Takamagahara'.

Immediately afterwards, a series of invisible spatial fluctuations spread out, and then Uchiha Kakuyama and Elder Uchiha Ryo disappeared from the room without warning.

On an island in the Takamagahara space, Uchiha Kakuyama and the First Elder suddenly appeared. The First Elder and Uchiha Kakuyama felt a blur before their eyes, and the scenery before them changed. The First Elder looked at this unfamiliar scenery, felt the gentle breeze blowing on his face, and his pupils contracted uncontrollably. His face showed an expression of his worldview being greatly shocked.

······

In the Elder's reception room, Uchiha Kazuyama and the Elder suddenly appeared at the table. Uchiha Kazuyama was still smiling at the Elder, but deep in his eyes was a hidden joy at his successful prank. The Elder, on the other hand, was still full of amazement, still marveling at what had just happened.

Uchiha Kakuzan asked with a smile, "Elder, are there no problems now? Do you believe I have a place to store these books?"

The Grand Elder nodded. "I didn't expect your other eye technique to be the rarest spatial eye technique. If it's not safe inside, then there's no safe place in the world. I'm relieved. I'll give you the book now."

With that, the elder left the reception room, while Uchiha Kakuyama patiently drank tea and waited.

This time, Uchiha Kakuyama waited for quite a while. Just as he was finishing a pot of tea, the Grand Elder finally returned carrying two large scrolls.

The scroll was twice as big as the Book of Seals that Naruto was holding. The elder didn't put the scroll on the table, but on the ground because it was too big.

After the elder put down the scroll, he pointed to one of the red scrolls: "This red one contains the classics passed down by our Uchiha clan. You can take a look at it when you have time. As for the blue one, it records all the ninjutsu that our Uchiha clan has recorded and developed. With these two things, you can rebuild the Uchiha clan."
