Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 63 The First Step in Clan Reform

The next night.

Uchiha clan territory, Naga Shrine.

At this moment, all the Jonin of the Uchiha clan have gathered here, and even the security forces only have a few Chunin left behind.

The Seventh Hokage of the Uchiha clan looked at the clan members below and said, "Since Fugaku's death two years ago, the position of Uchiha clan head has been vacant, which has led to a lack of unity in the Uchiha's external statements."

"As for the selection of the Uchiha clan leader, everyone has different opinions. The debate has been going on for two years, and the purpose of today's clan meeting is still to select the clan leader."

As soon as he finished speaking, the various Uchiha Jonin who were sitting cross-legged began to express their opinions.

"Since Captain Fugaku's assassination, the security forces have been facing severe financial difficulties for the past two years."

"Let the Seventh Hokage directly assume the position of clan leader. After all, his seniority is undeniable. And only the Seventh Hokage can restore the Uchiha clan's former glory."

"Glory? Isn't that just suicide? Why can't you see the efforts Shisui has been making all this time?"

"Heh... The Fourth Hokage was a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Jiraiya was a disciple of the Third Hokage. Their lineage has been targeting our Uchiha clan since the Second Hokage."

"The Fourth Hokage is different from the previous ones. Shisui once said: Our Uchiha's only chance lies with the Fourth Hokage."

"He just wants the Uchiha clan to be his tools. Shisui has been quite useful in his hands these past few years, so now he wants the entire Uchiha clan to serve him."

"What did you say? Shisui did it for the entire family!"

"Isn't that right? The Fourth Hokage was just using him!"

"Damn it! So what have you been doing all this time?"

……

The argument continued. Uchiha Yun and Itachi sat at the back, glancing around at their clansmen who were about to start a fight.

"There are only thirty or forty Jonin-level fighters in total, and even with this strength, they are divided into two factions who are constantly arguing."

Yun rubbed his forehead and scoffed, "With the Uchiha's unique hereditary mental illness, are these guys really planning to stage a coup like this?"

Itachi, standing nearby, replied, "What if we add Shisui's and your power? Two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan would be enough to deter Konoha from making any rash moves. As long as we wait for a special opportunity, it's not impossible to succeed."

"Um?"

Yun looked at Itachi beside him with a puzzled expression. Had this kid taken the wrong medicine?

How could such words come out of his mouth? Is this the same madman who went insane and slaughtered his entire clan, young and old?

Itachi and Yun exchanged a glance and pondered, "What you and Shisui have done and arranged in the past two years, as well as the sudden incident a few days ago... Shisui told me about the Uchiha Fire Core."

???

Didn't he promise Minato Namikaze not to tell anyone? But... Itachi probably wants to revise it.

Itachi continued, "A naive person may not necessarily fail to rise to a high position, but a high position cannot remain naive. Yun... If Sasuke is to live a good life in Konoha, the Uchiha clan must become strong."

"Only when we become powerful enough that Konoha dares not act rashly, or when your plans that I am unaware of succeed, will the Uchiha remain safely in Konoha."

Yun smiled at Itachi: "So you just didn't read enough before. Only after experiencing some things can you truly understand this village. Spend more time reading books. If you're not smart enough but still love philosophy, you'll go crazy sooner or later."

……

"Knock knock knock!"

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha tapped the table lightly on the stage, and the noise from below the stage immediately subsided.

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha looked at everyone and said, "I recommend... Uchiha Shisui to be the new head of the Uchiha clan!"

The moment the words were spoken, the scene erupted in chaos.

"How could that be? Why would the Seventh Hokage recommend Uchiha Shisui?"

"Are we all destined to become the Fourth Hokage's swords?"

"Captain Fugaku died so suddenly. Who in the entire ninja world could possess that kind of speed? Besides the Fourth Hokage, I can't think of anyone else!"

"As the clan that founded Konoha, why can't we become Hokage?"

"We are the Uchiha, and the pride of the Uchiha will not make me bow my head!"

……

"Knock knock knock!"

The commotion subsided again, and the Seventh Hokage Uchiha stood up and looked around.

"You are all Jonin, possessing considerable analytical abilities. So, I ask you all... would Konoha currently allow an Uchiha to become Hokage?"

"The Daimyo has acknowledged the Jonin team's decision to hold a vote of confidence. Gentlemen, will the Uchiha clan pass?"

……

No one responded for a moment.

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha looked around: "Without a doubt, this is impossible! Because of the presence of the security forces, our relationship with the village's ordinary merchants has never been good."

"Given the complexities, the ninjas and clans of Konoha have always held differing views of us. Therefore, a vote of confidence by the Jonin is completely impossible."

"Furthermore, because of Madara Uchiha, the Daimyo would not want an Uchiha to become Hokage. Of course, the Daimyo was just an ordinary person."

"Then please tell me, gentlemen, do you... intend to kill half of Konoha's ninjas? Only by killing half will the rest acknowledge us out of fear."

"Then... Konoha's strength has been greatly diminished, and the Sand Village of the Land of Wind is eyeing us covetously. When we are surrounded on all sides, will we still have the strength to resist?"

At this moment, a member of the martial arts faction in the audience stood up and retorted, "Even so, are we just supposed to be slaughtered? Konoha has been targeting us ever since the Second Hokage!"

"Seventh Hokage, you are skilled in analysis, but just because Shisui can convince you doesn't mean he can convince me! And I will never acknowledge Uchiha Shisui as the clan head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man pushed open the door and prepared to leave.

But the next moment, a figure appeared directly behind him.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light passed by.

His long sleeves were cut off, revealing the tattoo marks on his shoulders.

"A mark of the Dark Side? A direct descendant of the third generation? Or a direct descendant of the fourth generation? Or... a remnant of the Root?"

The Uchiha at the door suddenly turned around, and the three-tomoe stared at Yun.

Magical Shackles Technique!

In an instant, the scene changed, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

"Whoosh!"

The kunu stabbed, but Yun slightly turned her head to dodge it, and casually slashed with her knife, causing her shoulder to fall to the ground instantly.

The seal of self-karma bondage!

In an instant, black marks spread from the soles of his feet upwards, and the Uchiha was unable to move an inch due to the pain of losing his arm.

"Why? Why is my illusion...?"

Illusion?

Yun thought for a moment, "Was there an illusion spell activated just now?"

"Buzz!"

In an instant, three-bladed darts spun within Yun's eyes: "A three-tomoe illusion? I don't feel anything."

kaleidoscope?!

A horrified Uchiha stared wide-eyed: "How is this possible? You brat, who are you?!"

Yun put away his kaleidoscope and smiled, replying, "I'm still studying at the Ninja Academy, so you probably don't recognize me. Uchiha Yun, reporting for duty."

……

"stop!"

"who is he?!"

"Stop him!"

……

It took only two seconds, and even those around them had barely reacted.

At that moment, Yun turned around and shrugged: "I'm just showing you his shoulder, it's not like I need to kill him right now."

Shoulder?

Everyone looked toward the shoulder that had fallen to the ground, and the dark mark on it came into everyone's view.

Then Yun went forward and pried open its mouth, slapped the back of its head, and made it stick out its tongue.

The seal of the annihilation of the root of calamity through the tongue.

Residual parts of the root?

In my memory, when Danzo was searching for Aburame to retrieve Root, he said that there were people in Root from both the Yamanaka and Uchiha clans, and that was this guy?

At this moment, Shisui also stepped forward, slowly walked to Yun's side and said, "He is the one I brought, Uchiha Yun, and he is one of the forces that can temporarily stabilize Konoha."

The Seventh Hokage Uchiha then said, "The Uchiha, with their power, are capable of speaking with Konoha. A coup can only bring destruction, but now we have an opportunity."

"The power of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan is enough to bring us back to the negotiating table. Shisui convinced me, and only in this way can the Uchiha have another chance to become great."

As soon as the words were spoken, Shisui and Yun's eyes changed simultaneously, and a chilling chakra instantly filled the entire shrine.

Yun could sense the emptiness in Shisui's right eye.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha, who had been sitting in the back row, also stood up and slowly walked behind Shisui and Kumo.

"Shisui told me a lot about my father's death, and I trusted him just as much."

"As the eldest son of the former clan chief, I agree that Shisui should become the new clan chief!"

The three people's words immediately silenced everyone present.

As for the Uchiha who was bound by the cursed seal, he couldn't say a word because of his protruding tongue.

Meanwhile, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha on the stage was looking at Yun with trust.

This gaze sent a chill down Yun's spine.

Under the gaze of the kaleidoscope, something indescribable seems to be spreading.

"Lord Shichidai has always been good at analysis, and his words are not without reason."

"There is no possibility of the Uchiha clan becoming Hokage at this stage!"

"The final result of the coup would only be that Konoha would be divided and annexed by the other four great nations. How could the Uchiha possibly escape unscathed then?"

"The Seventh Hokage has always been the representative of the martial arts faction, and only Shisui, who has always stayed by the Fourth Hokage's side, has been able to deceive the higher-ups of Konoha."

"Yes... In the current Konoha, no one will allow an Uchiha to become Hokage. We can only wait and see."

"Even the Seventh Hokage has been convinced, so what else do we have to consider? Shisui was also an Uchiha, and so was that Kumo."

"In the future... it's not impossible for it to last five, six, or even seven generations."

"That guy named Uchiha Yun, with his potential, the Uchiha clan will definitely be able to become great again!"

……

Amidst the discussions, despite the seemingly excellent situation, Yun felt a strange sense of dread.

The power of Kotoamatsukami is terrifying!

Is this the power of being killed by plot twists in my memory?

If this ability wasn't a plot device, how could the Uchiha clan have been wiped out? How could Shisui have committed suicide by drowning?

This is simply...outrageous!

Yun glanced at Zhishui beside her. This usually smiling guy, would he give her a nudge?

Then his gaze fell on Shisui's right eye, which was already slightly white. This kind of powerful and dry pupil power should not happen again.

……

Under the cover of night, Uchiha Shisui assumed the position of the new clan leader of the Uchiha clan.

The captain of the security force was also Uchiha Shisui. The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha, as a senior member, served as the vice-captain of the security force.

His son, Uchiha Yatsura, along with two other Uchiha, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahisa, also pledged their loyalty to Shisui.

After the clan meeting ended, the group began a small meeting.

As the newly appointed clan leader, Shisui first offered his opinion.

"Within a year, the Uchiha will abandon the security forces department."

As he finished speaking, even though he knew the security forces were a trap, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha was still somewhat reluctant: "Are we just going to give up the rights that belonged exclusively to the Uchiha since the early days of Konoha?"

Yun smiled and looked at the old man: "If we're planning a rebellion, the right of the garrison to be autonomous is indeed convenient."

"But if the Uchiha want to become Hokage smoothly, this department is a bottomless pit. The reasons are self-evident and don't need to be explained."

The Eighth Hokage then asked, "Where did the clansmen in the security force go?"

Shisui replied, "Instructing Jonin, the Investigation Team, and the Anbu. Most importantly... the teachers at the Ninja Academy."

teacher?

The Seventh Hokage questioned, "Being a teacher at the Ninja Academy isn't easy, and there's also the matter of instructing Jonin. And within the clan, it's a forbidden area for the Third Hokage..."

Shisui raised his hand to stop them, then said, "There will be many interests to be exchanged here, and we are not the only ones who want to set foot in the Third Generation's forbidden area."

"The reason it takes a year is because we need to wait for an opportunity. But in any case, the security forces must be handed over. For now, let them learn the rules and regulations that Yun has introduced."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun handed a large booklet to the Seventh Hokage Uchiha.

Then Yun smiled and said, "There is some knowledge here that Konoha doesn't have. Reading more books will benefit the Uchiha."

As she spoke, Yun looked at Itachi beside her and said, "You should do the same. After the mission is over, when you have nothing to do, go to the guard unit and take a look at this set of rules and regulations. It will be good for you."

Itachi frowned. "I don't think I need it, do I?"

Zhi Shui, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "You should take a look. I will also reread it. What Yun wrote in it is indeed very useful."

Seeing that everyone said so, out of curiosity, the Seventh Hokage Uchiha opened the book cover.

Contents 1: Personal glory belongs to the Uchiha clan, but the glory of the Uchiha clan does not belong to any individual.

2: Geniuses never need to flaunt their family's glory; only the weak need to rely on their family name for confidence.

3: Only by possessing great power can you force your opponent to sit calmly at the negotiating table with you.

4. The purpose of politics has never been to fight to the death, but to achieve mutual compromise.

5: Only when the majority of people can the Uchiha clan achieve greatness once again.

6: Analysis of the Uchiha Mental Illness...
