Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Chapter 118 Tobirama Senju: The Second Hokage's Will of Fire is not up to par!

Fugaku sighed and threw the ninja sword in his hand to the ground.

"I lost—"

Fugaku's emotions were somewhat complicated.

He felt both helpless and ashamed at being defeated by a junior, but also grateful for Qing Shui's reminder.

Following Fugaku's approach—

After he retreats, the actions of breaking the darkness spell and dispelling the fog will occur simultaneously.

Fugaku is not good at Wind Release, but he can use Fire Release to evaporate fog.

Intense flames can accelerate airflow and cause fog to evaporate.

If Qing Shui hadn't warned him beforehand, he would have been engulfed in flames.

"Seisui, aren't you worried that I won't admit defeat?" Fugaku suddenly asked.

If Fugaku were shameless enough, he could continue fighting.

Without immediately igniting the smoke, he could have found a way to avoid harm.

In Fugaku's view, if he did that, he would win in the end!

Because Qing Shui has already revealed all his cards—

"I never thought of that before. How could a man as generous as Fugaku do such a thing?"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Fugaku with surprise, then smiled like a little sun: "Besides, we are from the same clan, we are each other's family—"

Fugaku Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The corners of his mouth were unabashedly turned up high!

These words are truly like fine wine; the taste of losing is even more exhilarating than winning!

The slight resentment that had been building up in my heart also dissipated.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young, Qing Shui—"

"I, Fugaku Uchiha, acknowledge you as the strongest genius of our clan!"

Fugaku gave a thumbs-up, and recalling the praise for his generosity, he deliberately flashed a white smile: "With young people like you, the clan will become even better!"

Obito and Shisui exchanged a glance, and the two children whispered, "It feels like Fugaku-senpai did something a bit silly, doesn't it? It doesn't even look as natural as Guy's or Dai-san's—"

"That's true, maybe that's what they mean by specialization? She looks a bit clumsy—"

The other Uchiha members also twitched their brows, unable to bear the sight.

"Qingshui, your future younger brother lives at my house. You should visit him more often when you have time."

Fugaku walked over, put his arm around Tobirama Senju's shoulder, and said enthusiastically, "His name is Itachi. I have high hopes for him and plan to take him to the battlefield when he's a little older. He will definitely be able to contribute to the Uchiha clan alongside you in the future!"

Tobirama Senju nodded first, then asked in confusion, "I haven't seen him at the Ninja Academy?"

"It's normal that you haven't seen him before; he's only a little over a year old—"

"I think that as an excellent Uchiha, he should be able to go to the battlefield in two or three years!" Fugaku said smugly. "That way, he can understand the cruelty of the world, which will also be beneficial to his growth—"

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath.

He has been trying his best to accept the abstraction of the Uchiha.

But I didn't expect there to be another expert—

What kind of spirit is this? People from the Warring States period!

Even during the Warring States period, it was not common for three- or four-year-old children to go to the battlefield, and most of the time it was out of necessity or due to a lack of manpower.

People like Fugaku, without external pressure, voluntarily sent their children of that age to the battlefield—

During the Warring States period, they were considered "outstanding individuals".

"Are there any other parents who think like Fugaku?" Tobirama Senju asked loudly.

Fugaku was taken aback. Was Aoshui going to praise him?

They eagerly awaited responses from others.

But the Uchiha clan members all shook their heads. The ninja academy was doing so well now; everyone wanted their children to go there to solidify their foundation and have a happy and fulfilling childhood.

Who would be so crazy as to send children to the battlefield?

Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were all like Fugaku, then the trouble would be immense; we'd have to deal with them one by one.

If all the Uchiha children had a father like Fugaku—

Even Tobirama Senju believed that it was understandable for a child to go mad as he grew up, not just because of the Sharingan's interference with the brain.

I really need to break free from my family of origin as soon as possible!

"Brother Fugaku's heart is good—"

"But you're really not suited to raising children."

"How about this, Brother Fugaku, if you trust me, when Itachi grows up, let him be closer to me—"

"Your idea of ​​sending Itachi to the battlefield at his age is neither in line with the Will of Fire nor with the spirit of the clan head," Tobirama Senju said solemnly.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded blankly.

How could this not conform to the spirit of the clan leader?

The Uchiha clan is a clan known for its fighting spirit, so naturally they are trained under immense pressure from a young age.

Could it be that his understanding all along has been wrong?

Fugaku wanted to say something in his defense, but when he thought that Aoisui was smarter than him, he kept quiet.

The key point is that Qingshui promised to take Itachi with him in the future!

Although Fugaku wasn't the brightest, he could always tell who had potential.

Following beside Qingshui—

He will definitely grow into a good young man in the future!

They made tremendous contributions to the Uchiha clan!

"Then—then I'll listen to you, Aoi-sui!" Fugaku scratched his head.

His anticipation grew stronger.

How will "Blue Water" interpret the Will of Madara and the Will of Fire at tonight's clan meeting?

Fugaku also wanted to become a cultured person, just like Uchiha Isshin.

"Brother Fugaku, I can tell that your fighting style is that of a great clan leader as described in the ancient texts—"

"But actually, for us ordinary people, imitating the style of the clan chief is a thankless task."

The clan leader is known as the "Rose of the Battlefield" and the "Shura of the Ninja World" because, apart from the First Hokage who could put pressure on him, his strength allows him to regard the heroes of the ninja world as a rabble.

"So it is the lingering effect of his strength that allows him to turn fighting into an art, making others tremble with the oppressive aura he exudes."

"We cannot merely imitate his outward appearance; we must learn from Chief Ban's constant refinement of his skills—"

"If you want to be prominent in public, you must suffer in private."

"Let's work hard together, Fugaku-nii!" Tobirama Senju said earnestly, then changed the subject, "I believe you have the potential to become a great clan leader. Fugaku-nii, you are very strong."

These words were also meant to subtly hint at something to the Uchiha clan—

He wasn't just saying he wanted to inherit Madara's will; he wasn't just making empty promises.

In every aspect, "Uchiha Aokiji" understands Madara very well; he is an authority!

"I never imagined that one day I would have to praise Uchiha Madara like this in public—"

"Hmph, but it's the truth, so it doesn't matter." Tobirama Senju comforted himself in this way.

Tobirama Senju was an objective man.

Even though his fear of Uchiha Madara was much deeper than that of Onoki.

However, Tobirama Senju would not deny Madara's abilities.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were undoubtedly gifted, but their level of effort was also extraordinary.

It was common to see Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, racking his brains for several nights in a single attempt to counter a single technique used by Madara Uchiha, and eagerly testing any ideas he had.

Correspondingly, Madara Uchiha was probably the same.

The fact that these two were able to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world is inseparable from their mutual encouragement.

"This kid—this boy understands me!"

Madara Uchiha's eyes lit up: "Others only praise my extraordinary talent and the exquisite skills I've mastered throughout my life, but they overlook the sweat and toil I've shed—"

"That's good. Izuna also advised me back then not to work too hard and ruin my health."

Thinking of his younger brother, Madara Uchiha sighed unconsciously.

My perception of Qingshui has become increasingly complex.

At first, it was just to pass the time and see what people in the same clan who looked like his younger brother looked like.

But later he was attracted by Qingshui's talent.

This is indeed a promising candidate to be a spokesperson.

When "Qingshui" said he would inherit his will, Uchiha Madara sat up straight for the first time in a long time.

How long has it been since anyone in the Uchiha clan mentioned this?

The fact that Qing Shui, who looks so much like her younger brother, was mentioned adds an indescribable charm to the story.

Although Madara Uchiha didn't say it in his heart and appeared indifferent on the surface, how could he not care?

After all, that was his family; he was the head of the Uchiha clan.

This is an established fact; it cannot be completely severed simply by cutting it off.

"That brat Qingshui just showed Izuna's fighting style and my ninjutsu—"

"What a pity, how come there's still that bastard's element? This is simply—"

Madara Uchiha paused, being a respectable man, and unwilling to use a vulgar metaphor: "It's like a speck of filth stuck to a flame fan—"

But upon further reflection, Madara Uchiha felt relieved.

The information conveyed in Shisui's two sentences just now made it clear to him—

Aoshui is Shisui's older brother, and Shisui's ancestor was a disciple of Tobirama Senju.

"What a pity, what a pity—" Madara Uchiha lamented.

As if hearing Madara Uchiha's thoughts, Fugaku asked at this moment.

"Qingshui, by the way, why are you studying that person's techniques?"

"Actually, the Uchiha clan's Fire Release techniques are enough, right? There's no need to waste time on those fancy tricks—"

Fugaku was very restrained; even within the clan's territory, he did not use any strange titles to refer to Tobirama Senju.

Because he is now a member of the Konoha Committee—

He didn't want to accidentally say something that would cause trouble.

Hizashi and Danzo took notice of him and launched a major secret investigation into him.

"Strange tricks and ingenious techniques?"

Tobirama Senju smiled and said, "Brother Fugaku, I know that everyone has questions in their hearts—"

"Why should I, an Uchiha, not properly train my Sharingan and Fire Release techniques, but instead practice Water Release and other techniques?"

"Especially since it's a technique from the Second Hokage."

Uchiha En nodded. As someone whose arm had been cut off by Senju Tobirama, he was naturally very curious.

The reason I didn't ask him directly was that I didn't want Qing Shui to feel like I was putting a label on him.

After all, there's a lot of room for interpretation when an Uchiha learns Tobirama Senju's ninjutsu.

"It is undeniable that Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, suppressed the Uchiha clan."

"Both in terms of policy and his combat system, it can be said that it was built specifically to target the Uchiha."

"But precisely because of this, we must face his actions squarely, turning this 'natural enemy of the Uchiha clan' into a blood vessel for the clan, drawing nourishment from it for the clan's development."

"Let me make this clear: I have no good feelings towards Tobirama Senju."

Tobirama Senju coughed lightly and said with a serious expression, "According to my research, the Konoha Police Department policy he established is a vicious measure targeting the Uchiha clan, and the intention behind it is extremely insidious—"

"Compared to the current Third Generation Lord, his Will of Fire is not pure enough, and it has damaged the relationship between the village and the clan!"

As Tobirama Senju spoke, he subtly controlled his expression with his chakra.

He himself was starting to lose control.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was watching this scene, also showed a surprised expression.

"The teacher really went all out to conquer the Uchiha clan!"

"He can even deny himself so smoothly? He truly deserves to be the leader of the Uchiha clan!"

"I can't let my teacher down. As the Hokage, I have to cooperate well with the Uchiha's little genius—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, "Danzo, if my teacher wants to use you to establish his reputation, I have no choice but to make things difficult for you. I can't help you this time—"

"Next time, I'll do it next time—"
