The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 39 The Third Raikage, Ai, Under Control

"Leave the governance to me."

"Thank you, Chief Sifang."

The banquet came to an end as the main character passed out drunk.

Uchiha Yomotsu took Uchiha Takeuchi from Uchiha Rinpoche and paused for a moment as he looked at the graceful young woman.

"Governance, you might only have one chance now. Don't you regret it?"

"Governance only hopes that when the young lord is sober, he can say those words to Governance."

Looking at the meticulous and serious Uchiha Shiro, Uchiha Shiro felt the slightly faster heartbeat of Uchiha Takeo, who was being supported by him, and nodded.

"I believe that once Shaojun regains consciousness, he will make a decision that will satisfy everyone."

"Governance also hopes that Young Lord will not forget what was said tonight."

After finishing his speech, Uchiha Rinpoche left first.

The experienced and shrewd Uchiha Kano and Uchiha Setsuna, along with the other squad leaders, headed towards the clan's territory via another route.

"Chieftain, have I done anything to offend you?"

Uchiha Muan, who had been pretending to be drunk, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with helplessness. He slapped away Uchiha Shifang's hand, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

"Can't you just let me get away with this?"

"Young lord, during the Warring States period, many boys your age already had children."

As someone who has been through similar experiences, how could Uchiha Yomo not understand the boy's mindset, giving up on a truly outstanding girl who deserves to be protected for a lifetime just because of his pride?

In his view, this was utterly foolish.

"Governance is like a child we've watched grow up—calm, gentle, wise, kind, and upright, with extraordinary talents..."

"This child has countless good qualities. If Fugaku weren't so young, I would have swallowed my pride and asked the government to arrange a marriage between our children."

"The clan leader has a pretty good idea."

Uchiha Wu'an raised an eyebrow, glared at Uchiha Sifang, and snorted in a flustered manner to cover his panic. He then leaped onto the roof with a few bounds.

Uchiha Yomotsu was still shouting from below, "Young master, excellent girls won't wait for you forever, seize the opportunity!"

"How long-winded! I'm not blind or deaf, how could I not see or hear?"

Uchiha Muan muttered something, and in the mercury-like moonlight, his figure flickered a few times before he spotted Uchiha Guri walking along the street.

The moonlight gently fell on the girl, just as it fell on the boy's heart. Uchiha Muan grew to like her more and more as he looked at her.

"Tomorrow...?"

Uchiha Takeo's whispers drifted through the night sky.

………………

The Land of Thunder, Cloud Thunder Gorge.

A figure that blended perfectly into the night swiftly passed through the cliffs and precipices, then leaped to the bottom of a cliff, formed hand seals, opened the sealing technique, and entered a vast underground space.

The space was filled with sophisticated medical equipment, and researchers in white coats were busy everywhere. The figure walked quickly to the deepest part of the space and saw his master, a man with an arrogant face and dressed in black - Uchiha Madara!

"Hey, what's the news now?"

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes indifferently, glancing at the tall, dark-skinned, pale yellow-haired, long-bearded Third Raikage with a "lightning" tattoo on his right shoulder, and his eyes were filled with interest.

Since arriving in the Land of Lightning, his first stop was Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Nangumo Village. Unexpectedly but also logically, he saw Tobirama Senju, whom he would occasionally take out as a boast of his achievements—the two halves of his body.

Even though his body was burned to a crisp, his face was blurred, and his whole body was covered in the marks of wind and rain, Madara Uchiha could still recognize who this person was at a glance.

After the death of his most wanted enemy, Madara Uchiha felt a mix of joy and calm, but also disgust at the barbaric behavior of the Land of Lightning.

In the hideouts of Nanyun Village, there was nothing but bestial pleasure and pity for the weak.

But all of this is irrelevant to Madara Uchiha. Once he completes his plan, he can create a truly peaceful and happy world, free from sorrow and killing, where everyone's faces will be filled with smiles.

Madara Uchiha's only action was to completely destroy Tobirama Senju's corpse before leaving this outright bandit den and arriving in Kitakumo Village, where he directly took control of the Third Raikage, A.

Next, they searched for biological and medical researchers throughout the Land of Lightning and gathered them together in this newly opened underground space to study how to fuse the powers of the Uchiha and Senju into one.

The reception and transmission of external information were all entrusted to the third-generation Ai, who was under his control.

"Lord Madara, there's been a new update from Konoha."

The strongest ninja village naturally attracted everyone's attention. The Third Hokage, A, reported everything that had happened that day to Madara Uchiha. The black-haired man couldn't help but grin and burst into a hearty laugh.

"Tobirama Senju, no matter how hard you defend yourself, you can't defeat the Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"The Hokage position, hehehehehehe. Hahahahahaha!"

"What an outstanding junior! I really want to meet him."

After a long silence, Madara Uchiha's laughter subsided. Looking at the Third Hokage, A, who was still kneeling on one knee, he said calmly, "The research needs to be accelerated. If we don't have enough personnel in the Land of Lightning, we'll find them from other countries. I only want results, understand?"

"Understood, Lord Madara."

"Then let's go down."

Madara Uchiha returned to his residence alone and saw the Flame Fan hanging on the wall. He had a thought of going to meet Uchiha Takeoshi, but then gave up.

Without the Eye of Eternity, his brilliance is ultimately only temporary.

"Besides the Rinnegan, which integrates all things in the universe, there is nothing else I care about."

Madara Uchiha remained silent and indifferent.

On the other side, the third generation Ai, who had just emerged from the underground space, had a few strands of sorrow on his solemn face.

Knowledgeable researchers are not just any ordinary people, but Madara Uchiha's orders had to be carried out.

After much deliberation, he came up with the idea of ​​obtaining more supplies from the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Lightning, and then spending a lot of money to hire researchers from various countries in the ninja world—whether or not they were paid once they came to the Land of Lightning was entirely up to him.

Those researchers, who were powerless to even kill a chicken, probably wouldn't dare to resist the elite ninjas of Kitakumo Village.

"Wait, why not control the daimyo? Aren't all the things in the Land of Lightning mine? It would also make things easier for Lord Madara."

Suddenly realizing the blind spot, the Third Hokage, A, felt that this was a feasible idea. The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning couldn't even deal with Kinkaku and Ginkaku, so how could he possibly have the means to resist him, who inherited most of the power of the original Kumogakure?

"Kill the Gold and Silver Brothers as soon as possible! Everything in the Land of Lightning belongs to me, to Lord Madara!"

"We can't let them cause any more trouble!"

The Third Generation Ai had a sudden thought and began to plot against his own Jinchūriki.

During the previous war of division, due to the imperfections in the sealing techniques, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki were unable to participate in the battle.

Also due to carelessness, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was taken by Kinkaku and Ginkaku, leaving the Third Hokage A with only the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Since they're all out of control, let them perish together."
