Chapter 13 Become the Clan Chief

"Whoosh!"

A kunai was thrown from his hand and hit the center of the target not far away.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound from beside him made Yun, who had just been feeling smug, turn into a black line on his face. So, do all the ninjas in this world come with built-in scopes?

Holding three kunai in one hand, how could you possibly hit the bullseye simultaneously? And the starting directions were all different!

Just think about Rock Lee's reverse triple kick during the Chunin Exams twelve years later, Lord Bull must be turning in his grave.

"Phew... So being a genius is just a blow to self-confidence."

Itachi, who was standing to the side, did not reply. Instead, he took out more kunai and began to practice his throwing technique that used impact to change direction.

"Whoosh!"

Shisui, who suddenly appeared in a flash, smiled: "You didn't want to learn when Itachi asked you for help before, but now you know your confidence has been undermined?"

Yun shook her head slightly: "Without your near-abnormal calculation abilities, it wouldn't be of much use even if I learned it. By the time I've calculated the trajectory, my head will probably be kicked around like a ball by the enemy."

What's the point of learning this? Like that idiot Danzo, using kunai to stab Susanoo? You could stab him all day and still not break his defense, okay?

Ordinary ninjas have high attack but low defense, while top-tier ninjas each have a Gundam, either Susanoo or a tailed beast wooden doll. What use is a shuriken?

I wonder if the rebellion on the moon has happened yet. By then, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion will be able to split the moon in two, and one or two of them will be overpowered.

……

In the woods behind the training ground, Yun, Shisui, and Itachi stood on the top branches, looking at Konoha Village in the distance.

"Life will die, life will fight, life... will also cluster together."

Itachi muttered to himself as if he was about to have another episode. Yun glanced at him and said, "I heard you awakened your Sharingan when Chief Fugaku died a year ago. You're a genius ninja who awakened your Sharingan at the age of five and a half. How about I dig it out and give it to you?"

These words stunned Shisui, and even the expressionless Itachi looked over as if he were an idiot.

"Everyone has their own talents. The weakness of human nature is that we can only see what others have gained, but subconsciously ignore what others have lost."

Yun continued, "When differences arise, jealousy naturally follows. Life is about living, death is inevitable, and clustering stems from the desire for a better life."

As Yun spoke, she looked at Itachi and said, "I remember you were talking about what ninjas and villages were a while ago..."

"After the Warring States period, the First Hokage established the village to avoid war. But what about the major clans? The Hyuga, Kurenai, Shimura, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, etc.—why did they join Konoha?"

Shisui thought for a moment and replied, "Is it because nobody wanted to continue fighting? I've read some records that the Warring States period was an era with an alarmingly low average lifespan. Everyone must have been tired of war back then, right?"

Itachi looked at Shisui and nodded in deep agreement: "The First Hokage truly deserves to be called the God of Shinobi, being able to eliminate hatred through communication and unite various clans to form Konoha Village."

Exhausted from absorbing chakra into the tree trunk, Yun plopped down on it and shook his head slightly, saying, "No, they just want to survive."

Survive?!

Yun continued, "With the power to wipe out a village with a single strike and a country in half a day, not joining in means certain destruction! And that's even including travel time. Wiping out a country in half a day? Heh..."

"The First Hokage, known as the God of Shinobi, was an idealist, but Madara Uchiha, who was his equal at the time, was not an easy person to talk to."

"One hand holds a shuriken, the other holds three-colored dumplings; one is earnestly pleading, the other is ready to exterminate the other's entire clan. Obedient ones get the dumplings, disobedient ones are beaten into submission."

"After the village was established, peace lasted only a few years before the lower-ranking ninjas grew weary of war. Subtly, everyone began to associate their clans with the concept of Konoha."

As he spoke, Yun looked at Shisui and asked, "Do you know why the interval between the First Shinobi World War and the Third Shinobi World War was so short, while the time between the founding of Konoha and the First Shinobi World War was relatively longer?"

Shisui shook his head, and Itachi also fell into deep thought.

Yun explained, "That's because when the First Hokage was alive, his power was the pillar of peace in the ninja world. If he said no fighting was allowed, everyone had to obediently sit down and talk."

At this point, Yun said to Shisui, "Power is the primary condition for equal dialogue. Part of the reason the Uchiha clan can still exist is because of the Fourth Hokage, and another part is because of you, Uchiha Shisui, who awakened a power similar to that of your ancestor Madara... the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Shisui's eyes flashed with three tomoe, slowly rotating: "The Fourth Hokage's intention is to find an opportunity to talk to the Uchiha, but the conflict between the clansmen and the villagers..."

Yun shook her head slightly: "Managing the village's police force is not a good job, especially since this job is monopolized by the Uchiha clan. The pride brought by their surname and the naturally arrogant tone of the Uchiha clan will only drive the Uchiha away from Konoha."

"The police force has become the Uchiha's private domain, so naturally, no one cares about the Uchiha's situation unless it concerns them personally."

"The Uchiha clan has never considered itself among the elite clans of Konoha, nor has it ever belonged to the Hokage's side, yet they offend ordinary people every day..."

At this point, Yun stopped talking, and Shisui and Itachi fell into deep thought.

Shisui pondered every point Yun had made earlier. The Uchiha clan's current predicament was indeed a result of the Second Hokage's deliberate actions.

The Third Hokage inherited the will of the Second Hokage, and there was another disciple of the Second Hokage, a high-ranking member of Konoha, Shimura Danzo, who represented darkness.

Only the fourth generation remains...

Meanwhile, Itachi looked at the two of them. Was the village and the family really as Yun had said?

"Although you're only six years old, I've been amazed by your intelligence for the past six months. Yun, what would you do if you were in your shoes?"

Yun looked at the two of them: "Is this considered a request? If it is, then you two both owe me one."

Shisui smiled. "If there's anything I can help you with, I'd be happy to. Is there any ninjutsu you'd like to learn?"

Even the aloof Itachi nodded. Although this fellow clansman in front of him wasn't particularly talented, his views on many things were worth learning from.

Yun shook his head slightly at Shisui: "This concerns the future of the entire clan; it's not as simple as ninjutsu."

"Shisui...become the head of the Uchiha clan! Only by becoming the head of the clan can you represent the Uchiha and join the Fourth Hokage's side. And only the Fourth Hokage did not inherit the Second Hokage's will."

"Abandon the police force, or have everyone in the village join it. Reintegrate the Uchiha clan into the elite faction of Konoha, and let them join the Fourth Hokage's line of duty as members of that elite family."

"That's my solution."

Shisui shook his head slightly: "It's not that easy. The second and third seated elders are still here..."

Yun cut him off: "The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan! You're famous for your genjutsu and body flickering techniques, what is the power of your Mangekyou Sharingan?"

……

How about giving me some recommendation votes?
