Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 338 Fugaku Uchiha's Troubles

"I'm back."

Fugaku Uchiha opened the door.

Unlike the modern steel jungle-style houses in Konoha Village's inner city, the architecture in the clan territories of various ninja clans is mostly Japanese tatami style.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha's home naturally reflected this style of interior design and architecture.

"Ah, you're back?" Mikoto Uchiha, who was reclining on the sofa, went to greet Fugaku Uchiha, took his coat, and asked, "How was your day?"

Fugaku Uchiha's face darkened, and he shook his head with a sour expression: "It's still the same situation. Those old guys have no intention of continuing to give up that piece of land in the southwest of the clan territory."

Within Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan is a very special group.

After Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha jointly founded Konoha, the Uchiha clan, being a ninja clan of similar size to the Senju clan in the early days of the village's founding, was allocated a considerable amount of clan land.

Of course, it should be mentioned here that the Senju clan's original territory was the largest in Konoha Village.

The Death Forest, now designated as a forbidden area by Yuya, is vast because Hashirama Senju was buried there, resulting in its trees being thick, large, and wild.

Even so, in the original division of ninja territory, the land now occupied by the Death Forest was only a part of the Senju clan.

It was only later, when Hashirama Senju disbanded the Senju clan and incorporated their territory into Konoha Village, that the inner castle reached its initial scale.

From that point onward, the Uchiha clan did not treat Hashirama Senju unfairly at the beginning, at least not in terms of land distribution. Otherwise, Madara Uchiha would not have been dissatisfied with Tobirama Senju, but not a single Uchiha clan member stood by his side.

Why? It's because Hashirama Senju showed the Uchiha clan sincerity by giving them such a large piece of land, and the Uchiha clan felt that this land was enough for them to live on.

If that's the case, then why go against Hashirama Senju?

It's not like you, Madara Uchiha, could beat Hashirama Senju.

Yes, the main reason is Hashirama Senju's godlike fighting power; that's the most important factor.

Just like Yua in Konoha Village now.

After Hashirama Senju died, why did Tobirama Senju, who took over the leadership, invade Konoha?

No one's holding it down anymore.

This is true of the world, and it is also true of the original Naruto manga.

If Hashirama Senju were still alive, you'd think other villages would dare to cause trouble even if they were given a hundred lives.

Ok……

Furthermore, I strongly suspect that Tobirama Senju developed the Impure World Reincarnation technique so that he could pull Hashirama Senju out of his coffin if things went wrong (laughs).

Well, in short, when Konoha was founded, the Uchiha clan's territory was actually the second largest clan after the Senju clan.

After the Senju clan disbanded, the Uchiha clan rose to become the largest ninja clan in terms of area.

However, it was of no use.

Because Tobirama Senju took the stage.

We won't go into detail about Tobirama Senju's treatment of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan still has the largest territory in Konoha, but no one considers them to be the largest ninja clan in Konoha. In fact, people think that the Uchiha clan's influence is not as great as that of the Hyuga, Shimura, and Sarutobi clans.

Why?

Tobirama Senju stripped all power of his authority.

Tobirama Senju stripped the Uchiha clan of all their power in Konoha, leaving them only with a so-called security department to manage their own affairs. This security department was supposed to be responsible for the daily lives and safety of everyone in Konoha, which seemed to have a lot of power, but what was it really like?

What right do they have?!

Furthermore, Tobirama Senju directly stated that the Uchiha clan's security force was too bloodthirsty—of course, that wasn't the exact wording, but that's the gist of it—and that it couldn't be placed in Konoha; he told them to move it to the side.

As a result, the Uchiha clan's territory moved eastward, and the security headquarters even reached the edge of the village. It seemed that the Uchiha clan's territory had expanded significantly, even extending to the river east of Konoha Village—the very place where Sasuke practiced Fire Release as a child.

But what is the reality?

The Uchiha clan has broken away from the core circle of the village.

In fact, even now, the Uchiha clan has not come into contact with the core circle of the village; it's just that Yua has given them corresponding benefits.

Fugaku Uchiha did not want the Uchiha clan to continue like this.

Why?

Because he had some special connections—obtained from Uchiha Kagami—Yua wouldn't hide anything unimportant from Uchiha Kagami—from which he learned about Yua's future plans.

The water plant and power plant of the Uchiha clan's territory.

In the future, the water plant may continue to exist, but the power plant...

To be honest, he himself felt that the efficiency was somewhat low.

It is said that Youya is preparing to abandon so-called new energy power generation and adopt a more advanced power generation technology.

It is said that the technology is very difficult, but a direction has been found.

With a direction, you can develop a concrete plan; with a plan, all that's left is to invest money and time.

If Yuya's new power plant hadn't succeeded, the Uchiha clan might still be able to continue living their good lives.

But if it succeeds...

Then the Uchiha clan is doomed.

The power plant's revenue is more than three times that of the water plant.

Moreover, it is said that Yuya actually has the capability to build other power plants.

However, since a large amount of power generation is not needed at present, Yuya has no plans to build a new power plant.

But these are all temporary!

The Uchiha clan shouldn't just focus on immediate gains!

pity……

Fugaku Uchiha knew this, and so did his wife Mikoto Uchiha.

even……

Strictly speaking, the elders of the Uchiha clan were also aware of this.

But that's how people are often.

You know what the right thing to do is. For example, some of the elders of the Uchiha clan actually know that integrating into Konoha Village would be beneficial to the Uchiha clan as a whole.

After all, the infrastructure in the inner city is better than that of the Uchiha clan's territory, and no one can deny that.

In that time, Yuya will also benefit from reclaiming a large amount of land, and both sides will have a bright future.

Unfortunately, just like the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan elders were unwilling to give up the benefits they currently possessed.

"That's only human nature..." Mikoto Uchiha could only comfort her husband.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent, though that was indeed the case...

"Waaaaah..."

Just then, a cry rang out, and Uchiha Mikoto immediately jumped up and ran to the courtyard: "Itachi! How many times have I told you! You can't play with the turtles in the pond!"

Fugaku Uchiha raised an eyebrow. His own son...

Well, let's not talk about the future for now. Let your dad calm down first.

Thinking this, Fugaku Uchiha drew his belt...
