Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 39. Clan celebration.

The selection of the Third Hokage has finally come to an end, and the news of Uchiha Nan's great victory instantly swept through the entire Konoha.

According to rumors from the onlookers, Mito Uzumaki was beaten to a pulp by Nan Uchiha and had to cover her face with a cloth before returning to the Senju clan's territory.

Of course, the Senju clan immediately issued a statement regarding such rumors.

Rumors, pure and simple rumors!

Anyone who dares to gossip again will be invited to sit in the secret service.

Lady Mito Uzumaki made way for the young people so as not to get in their way!

In the end, he narrowly lost to Uchiha Nan!

The Senju clan mobilized its clan resources to spread the news throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha. The Senju clan still wanted to cover up such a shameful thing.

However, this news was quickly overshadowed by the news that Uchiha Nan was about to become the Third Hokage.

In the past, the Hokage lineage was monopolized by the Senju clan, but now the situation is different. The roles of offense and defense have reversed, and the Uchiha clan will take the initiative in Konoha.

The major and minor ninja clans of Konoha have always been opportunistic, siding with whoever wins between the Uchiha and Senju clans.

In no time, the Uchiha clan's doorstep was almost worn down by crowds, with various clans eager to pledge allegiance to them arriving in droves.

Uchiha Nan was naturally happy to see this happen. These ninja clans wanted to be protected by the Uchiha clan in the future, so how could they come to visit without bringing gifts?

Each envelope contained a thick stack of letters; if you sent too few, Uchiha Nan wouldn't even see them!

As for interpersonal relationships and social customs, families naturally have their own set of rules.

However, Uchiha Nan only met the heads of those small clans briefly to get acquainted with them. Whether they would be given important positions in the future was another matter. Uchiha Nan might not remember who came, but he would definitely remember who didn't.

Uchiha Nan primarily received members of the Bloodline Clan and the Secret Technique Clan.

Hyuga Takuma excitedly brought gifts to visit Uchiha Kusunoki. The Uchiha and Hyuga clans were currently in a honeymoon period. Uchiha Kusunoki defeated Uzumaki Mito and ascended to the throne of Hokage. As an ally, the Hyuga clan would naturally reap great rewards in the future.

However, what caught Uchiha Nan's attention was that Hyuga Takuma also brought a girl from the main family named Hyuga Asuka, who was only twelve years old.

After exchanging pleasantries with Hyuga Takuma, Uchiha Nan and Hyuga Takuma enthusiastically introduced Hyuga Asuka to Uchiha Nan.

Wearing a yellow kimono, she was polite and had a maturity beyond her years, but still couldn't hide her childishness. Her appearance was naturally excellent, and she looked somewhat similar to Naruto's sister-in-law Hanabi, but she was more composed.

Hyuga Takuma showered Hyuga Asuka with praise, calling her the most outstanding girl in the Hyuga main family.

Hyuga Takuma had thought it through very clearly. Uchiha Nan's strength had already reached the top level in the ninja world, and it would probably take decades for her to take control of Konoha. For the sake of the clan's future, what was a mere woman?

Although it might cause blood loss, that's not a problem. Hyuga Takuma has a very long-term vision. If everything goes smoothly, Uchiha Nan and Hyuga Asuka will get together and have a son and a daughter.

With Uchiha Nan's bloodline combined with the Hyuga clan's bloodline, it's easy to imagine that their child would be a genius among geniuses.

As Uchiha Nan's child, he might just be the future Fourth Hokage. With bloodlines from both the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, it's practically the Hyuga clan producing a Hokage.

The harm caused by the outflow of blood is far less than the gains from this investment, so why not do it?

The Hyuga clan pursued family prosperity and inheritance, but later generations were so resentful that they dragged out the clan leader's own younger brother to his death. They pretended to be high and mighty, but deep down they were actually quite shameless.

If it were the Uchiha clan, they would probably fight the Cloud Village to the death.

Is this some kind of pimping scheme?

Uchiha Nan looked at Hyuga Takuma's sales pitch and thought to himself that he was morally bankrupt, but he didn't expect Hyuga Takuma to be even more unrestrained than him.

Even a twelve-year-old girl can produce it, but Hyuga Asuka doesn't seem to have any complaints. Konoha has only been established for twenty years and is full of the remnants of the Warring States period. As long as someone comes to Hatsuhime, they are considered a potential mother.

After all, the high mortality rate of ninjas is common knowledge.

However, Uchiha Nan wasn't so beastly as to lay a hand on a twelve-year-old girl. He didn't want to be punished by the censors, so he gave a vague answer and brushed it off.

When Hyuga Takuma realized that Uchiha Nan didn't seem interested, he didn't bring it up again. Today was just their first meeting, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After a busy day meeting a large number of people, the Uchiha celebration began!

夜晚

Minaga Shrine

All of Uchiha Nan's clan members were present, including ordinary clan members who hadn't awakened their Sharingan. Fireworks and firecrackers were set off on the stage, illuminating the night sky like daytime.

After the fireworks were set off, Uchiha Nan was taken by the clan elders to pay respects to their ancestors. The elders looked at the ancestral tablets with tears in their eyes, crying uncontrollably and praising Uchiha Nan incessantly.

The hope of the Uchiha clan, the strongest Hokage of Konoha.

Basically, they just said whatever sounded good. From the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha were suppressed by the Senju for twenty years, and finally the day came when they could finally hold their heads high.

The various compliments made Uchiha Nan feel a little embarrassed, and he even claimed the title of Hiruzen Sarutobi as his own.

He's not that narcissistic. Right now, if he were to face Hashirama Senju, he'd most likely end up like Kurama, getting crushed by a giant hand.

After the ancestral worship ceremony, a grand banquet was naturally held. Uchiha Nan was dragged along to drink with the guests. On such a joyous day, Uchiha Nan naturally wouldn't spoil the fun.

However, even the strongest fists can't fight against many hands. No matter how much Uchiha Nan could drink, he couldn't withstand the clansmen's constant toasting and was eventually dragged home by Banji.

While the Uchiha clan celebrated with bright lights, the Senju clan was naturally filled with grief and went to bed early.

The position of Hokage, which had been passed down for two generations, was taken away by the Uchiha clan. This is an utter disgrace.

Thousand Hands Clan Land

A secret underground room, filled with all sorts of experimental instruments and piles of experimental data.

This was Tobirama Senju's experimental room back then.

Senju Momoma pulled out a sealed experimental document from the bottom.

"Patriarch, do we really want to restart the cell experiments?"

This was an experiment that Lord Tobirama personally ordered to be stopped, and without exception, all the clan members who actively participated died!

Senju Momoto's face was filled with fear. He was one of Senju Momoma's confidants and had followed Senju Momoma to the battlefield.

Senju Momori was a few years older than Senju Momoma. He had personally witnessed the horrific state of the experimental subjects, which was simply unbearable to look at. Each of them was in so much pain that they were barely recognizable as human. It terrified him, who was still young at the time, and he had nightmares for several days.

"The Uchiha have already surpassed the Senju!"

"I need greater power to reclaim the Hokage position in the future!"

Senju Momoma's face was filled with resentment; Uchiha Nan's mocking expression had directly caused Senju Momoma to break down.

"At Lord Mito's place."

"Make sure Mother keeps her mouth shut. I'll handle it when the time comes."

Senju Momoma waved her hand, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer.
