Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 73 Izanagi

"The potential of a Hokage?"

Fugaku Uchiha murmured something, then asked, "Do you mean Minato might become the Fifth Hokage?"

"Chief, your thinking is too conservative."

Chiga shook his head, his tone resolute: "What I mean is that Minato-senpai will become the Fourth Hokage!"

The Fourth Hokage

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

He acknowledged that Minato Namikaze possessed the qualities of a Hokage.

But to say that he could become the Fourth Hokage would be a bit of an exaggeration, wouldn't it?

At this moment, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was approaching 50 years old. Although he was still in his prime, he had begun to decline.

But once you start going downhill, your strength drops precipitously.

Under these circumstances, Konoha Village will inevitably elect a new Hokage.

In other words, the Hokage reshuffle is only a matter of the last five or six years.

At this moment, Minato is only eighteen years old. Even six years later, he will be twenty-four years old, which is too young.

Of course, age is not the key factor.

Most importantly, there are currently several candidates vying for the position of Fourth Hokage, and each of them is a candidate with considerable strength and prestige.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sakumo Hatake!

Among these four people, the most likely candidate to become the Fourth Hokage is...

In fact, even Fugaku Uchiha himself had some thoughts about becoming the Fourth Hokage.

He just knew his chances were slim, but even so, he still had a much better chance than Minato for the Fourth Hokage.

Chiga rolled his eyes. He had previously thought that Fugaku Uchiha had good judgment and was able to see Minato Namikaze's potential so early on.

But now it seems that Fugaku Uchiha's vision was just so-so.

"Chiga, you're still young, so I can understand why you have these feelings for Minato."

Fugaku Uchiha assumed that Chiga had witnessed Minato's fighting prowess firsthand and developed a sense of admiration, which led him to exaggerate Minato's abilities.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. You were able to help Minato kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, so it seems your strength has improved very quickly."

Fugaku Uchiha changed the subject and brought up Chiga himself.

Although it was only to assist, the fact that Chiga was able to participate in the battle between Jonin already demonstrates that he was quite capable.

"The clan has high hopes for you, so I've specially selected a few ninjutsu for you. I hope you can train them well."

As he spoke, Fugaku Uchiha took out three scrolls.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha smiled mysteriously and said softly, "There's a technique that your father definitely doesn't have."

After saying that, he gestured for Chiga to open the scroll.

Chiga opened the first scroll, which contained a Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique.

He didn't pay much attention and then opened the next scroll, which piqued Chiga's interest. It was about Sharingan genjutsu, the Magical Shackles Technique!

"The Illusionary Shackles Technique is a type of genjutsu created through the unique visual genjutsu of the Sharingan. I remember you used Sharingan Genjutsu during the Ninja Academy's assessment, which suggests you have a good talent for genjutsu. This genjutsu is exactly what you need."

Uchiha Fuyue said.

"Chief, thank you for your kindness."

Chiga expressed his gratitude. His talent in illusion was more than just good; the sound-based illusion he developed could even fool the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

If Chiga were to learn this magical shackle technique, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Chiga glanced at it briefly, then looked at the last scroll.

After opening the scroll, I found that there wasn't much information inside, and that activating this technique only required three hand seals.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked up at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Izanagi?"

"Yes, this is a forbidden technique of my clan regarding the Sharingan. It must never be used unless it is a matter of life and death."

"Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly."

"Moreover, this forbidden technique must be kept strictly secret and cannot be known to outsiders. Our clan's Sharingan is already enticing enough. If people knew that the Sharingan could also use such a forbidden technique, it would drive those who covet our clan's Sharingan even crazier."

Wealth is a powerful motivator, and the Sharingan is already a top-tier bloodline limit in the ninja world.

Knowing that the Sharingan can be used to perform such ninjutsu is like having an extra life.

No one can resist such temptation.

Moreover, in the ninja world, not everything can be publicized. One must always keep some trump cards up their sleeve. Clearly, forbidden techniques like Izanagi are one of the trump cards that the Uchiha clan has kept for themselves.

Upon acquiring this technique, Chiga realized that he had finally entered the core of the Uchiha clan.

This is a good thing for him.

Once Minato takes over, Chiga will not only change the village's perception of the Uchiha, but also sort out the internal workings of the Uchiha clan.

After all, how can there be "eagles" and "doves" among the same kind of people? What kind of family are they?

Having finished explaining the important matters, Fugaku Uchiha prepared to get up and leave.

At this moment, Chiga said, "Clan Chief, please wait a moment, I have something else to say."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's face stiffened, and he sighed helplessly before taking out 150,000 ryo from his pocket and handing it to Chiga.

"You little rascal, where did you get this money-grubbing trait from!"

He thought Chiga had already forgotten about it.

I never imagined I couldn't escape this fate after all!

Chiga glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with surprise.

If Fugaku Uchiha hadn't taken out this money, Chiga would have completely forgotten about it.

Although he won more than two million ryo from Tsunade, and received another five million ryo from the S-rank mission, Chiga will not be short of money for the time being.

But even a small mosquito is still a piece of meat.

After putting the silver note into his pocket, Chiga grinned at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Clan leader, that's not what I was actually talking about!"

[Negative emotions from Uchiha Fugaku, emotion value +10!]

Fugaku Uchiha, his face dark with annoyance, asked, "So what do you want to say?"

Chiga did not reply, but instead drew his katana and handed it to Uchiha Fugaku.

"This samurai sword"

Fugaku Uchiha took the katana, and the dents and chips on it made him frown.

Although Chiga's katana is just a standard-issue katana, it is not very strong.

But the fact that it could be used like this shows how intense the close combat Chiga had gone through.

Recently, Chiga only went out with Minato once, which means that the sword became like this during the battle with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Fugaku Uchiha could immediately imagine that Chiga's role in that battle was definitely not as simple as just assisting.
