The Great Hero Uchiha

The Tsuchikage has agreed to the Hokage's request for peace, and the two sides are currently negotiating the relevant details.

? ? ? ?

Did I make a mistake in my prediction?

Does Iwagakure not care about their previous surrender?

Or did Hiruzen Sarutobi give too much?

Uchiha Miyuki frowned.

Regardless of the outcome, we must prepare for the worst.

"Chieftain, how many of our people do you think would be willing to leave with us?"

"Given the current situation, the probability is only about five percent."

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Miyuki decided to make some preparations rather than defect directly. "If that's the case, then let's proceed according to the plan to protect the clan! I'll first take a portion of the clan members and fake my death to escape, so the village can't find any fault with me. Then we'll plan our next move based on the situation. Clan leader, you stay in the village."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded without refuting, clearly indicating that he also had a similar plan in mind.

Only half a month later, when the third battle report from the Land of Grass arrived, did Uchiha Miyuki realize that the Third Tsuchikage had grown up under his tutelage.

A covert maneuver!

On the surface, they accepted the peace talks, but in reality, they used the negotiations to draw Konoha's attention while secretly diverting more troops to bypass the Land of Grass and head towards the Land of Waterfall. By the time Konoha realized what was happening, they had already been driven to the Land of Fire's homeland by the Hidden Stone Village! As a result, they became the third country, after the Land of Wind and the Land of Lightning, to have its homeland destroyed in this Shinobi World War!

Uchiha Miyuki frowned.

Why did Iwagakure mobilize so many troops?

After analyzing the situation, one possibility came to mind.

Did they reach some kind of agreement with Sunagakure?! Perhaps... it's because of a shared hatred of the enemy?!

Or will you use the corpse of the Third Raikage as an exchange to get the Hidden Cloud Village to temporarily cease hostilities?

Or perhaps both?

Such a major event could not be concealed even if the Konoha leadership wanted to, and the command center soon received an official battle report from the village.

It not only includes more details about the Land of Waterfall, but also the movements of Sunagakure and Kumogakure.

It is clear that some agreement was reached between the three countries, freeing up a large number of troops to be deployed to the Land of Fire.

Others might not be able to see through the current situation, but after a moment of confusion, Uchiha Miyuki understood why this situation had occurred. Strictly speaking, it was all related to him. The Sand Village, which was forced by Uchiha Miyuki's schemes, almost surrendered, ending the war in the Land of Rivers. The Iwa Village was directly forced to sign a surrender document, which gave the two villages an opportunity to unite against a common enemy.

While Uchiha Miyuki did not directly intervene in the battle against Kumogakure, he was closely involved in Iwagakure's sneak attack on Kumogakure!

Iwagakure must have reached an agreement using the Third Raikage's corpse and this intelligence.

As for the relationship between Sunagakure and Kumogakure, Uchiha Miyuki couldn't see through it. It's possible that both sides suspected him of instigating the war between the two countries behind the scenes.

Although everything was closely related to him, ultimately it was Konoha's higher-ups who lost a year...

and many more!

In addition to the above-mentioned opportunities and reasons.

Uchiha Miyuki's expression turned serious at this moment.

Are they afraid that I'll grow up?

He put himself in her shoes and thought about it from her perspective, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable his guess seemed.

From an outsider's perspective, he outmaneuvered all three great nations multiple times through sheer cunning. Had it not been for the Konoha leadership's obstruction, the war might have already ended. Moreover, he achieved a dramatic reversal despite Konoha's initial overwhelming disadvantage of being outnumbered three to one! Not only did he inflict heavy losses on the three nations, but he also indirectly caused the death of the Third Raikage and directly led to the Third Tsuchikage losing face...

and many more!

Surely Sunagakure won't blame me for the Third Kazekage's disappearance, right?

In addition, Uchiha Miyuki also possesses the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, and is currently only thirteen years old.

etc--

Could they be planning another sneaky maneuver, using the invasion of the Land of Fire as a cover while actually diverting troops to surround the Land of Bear?

Is it too late for me to fake my death and escape?

wrong!

They're forcing me to go... No! It's not impossible for them to split their forces and attack... No...

What about Kirigakure?

What is the attitude of Kirigakure now?

wrong--

Now, Uchiha Miyuki's mind was in turmoil once again.

P.S.: By the way, are there any big shots who could give me some razor blades or monthly tickets today?

148. I suspect that all the higher-ups are spies from Iwagakure!

In order to calm himself down, Uchiha Miyuki forcibly shifted his attention to himself, thus freeing himself from his chaotic thoughts.

How did I come to this predicament...?

Is it because he suddenly became stronger?!

Not all.

Were they forced into it by the situation?

That's not entirely true.

The inevitable connection between these two factors led to all of this. To become safer on the battlefield, one must constantly grow stronger. This wouldn't be a problem for an ordinary ninja, but as a member of the Uchiha clan, becoming strong enough would attract the attention of the village's higher-ups and draw more enemy attention. Escaping one quagmire would lead to entering another, leaving one to struggle endlessly.

Having improved their strength, they are no longer so easily killed, so naturally they don't want to live such a stifled life. They want to live according to their own preferences and become Hokage to make this world more familiar, so naturally they have to take the initiative to strive for it.

Was I wrong to take the initiative?

wrong.

Is the mistake in living according to one's own desires?

wrong.

Was it my mistake that I wanted to become Hokage?

wrong.

Ultimately, just like most of the events in the original story, the problem stemmed from the rift between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan after the village was established.

Having clarified this point, Uchiha Miyuki's thoughts stabilized at this moment.

The current situation is the time to dissect and identify the strengths and weaknesses.

Will the higher-ups sell me out?!

After thinking for a moment, I got the answer.

Won't--

The reason is simple!

He is currently a hero of Konoha, possessing extremely high prestige, even surpassing that of Hatake Sakumo in the past! Especially under these circumstances, if Konoha learns of this, it will only further enhance his prestige. Even if the village's higher-ups conceal it, his current prestige is already high enough.

Therefore, neither selling openly nor secretly is feasible!

Even if his surname is Uchiha, it's the same!

As long as he doesn't betray the village, if he openly or secretly sells it out, it will be a devastating blow to the village's cohesion. If the villagers' hearts are scattered, who will fight for the village in the future?

and--

Does Konoha dare to trust the promises of the four great ninja villages?! Are they willing to gamble the village's survival on the mercy of their enemy?!

Even if the higher-ups dare to believe and gamble, what about the other ninjas?!

and many more!

As some information flashed through Uchiha Miyuki's mind, his eyes immediately brightened.

The Third Hokage's willingness to sue for peace with Iwagakure after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge had already begun to cast doubt on his abilities. Now, Iwagakure has used the pretext of peace talks to secretly advance from the Land of Waterfall into the Land of Fire. This will inevitably cause the entire Konoha leadership to lose its previous prestige... No! It's that the Konoha leadership is incompetent and has been exploited by the enemy.

We don’t even need to wait for Kumogakure and Sunagakure to invade the mainland again; now is the time for the entire leadership to step down!

"Chief, have the villagers contact other families and question why the higher-ups were manipulated by the enemy... Wait, no! That's too low-level. Even without publicity, everyone knows about it. There's no need to publicize it. Public opinion can't be reversed. Have the villagers secretly release... no! Openly question the higher-ups about what they've been doing this past year, given that they've established such a significant advantage!"

wrong……

These are unnecessary.

"As the largest clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan should set an example by having its members directly question the higher-ups about whether they are all spies from Iwagakure!"

Fugaku Uchiha was a little confused.

"The entire upper echelons are spies? That's outrageous!"

"The bigger and more outrageous the crime, the faster the public opinion will erupt. Once everyone starts discussing it, past events will come up along with it, and emotions will be stirred up. The last chance for the higher-ups to maintain their prestige will be completely gone."

"Alright, I'll go and arrange for the tribesmen to do this right away."

After a pause, Fugaku Uchiha asked, "If we do this, won't the higher-ups step down and just make Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage?"

"That's still better than constantly having to worry about a bunch of idiots dragging you down from behind."

Uchiha Miyuki pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The main task now is to completely destroy and discredit the political forces of the third generation, and then find a way to solve other problems."

Fugaku Uchiha had originally intended to continue discussing this issue with Miyuki Uchiha, but he found that Miyuki Uchiha had once again lowered his head in deep thought. Fugaku Uchiha immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and instructed the clansmen in the village to carry out Miyuki Uchiha's arrangements through the ninja cat.

Having temporarily resolved the Konoha issue, Uchiha Miyuki's attention then turned to Kirigakure, on whom he possessed the most intelligence.

Furthermore, if Kirigakure were to unite with other ninja villages, he, as the frontline commander of Kirigakure, would inevitably receive relevant information. Moreover, any other village wanting to launch a surprise attack on him in the Land of Bears would have to bypass Kirigakure! Thinking of this, Uchiha Miyuki couldn't help but chuckle. He never expected this! His last line of defense was actually his enemy, Kirigakure!

No, we must repay Kirigakure. Next time, we'll ask for fewer supplies!

Thinking about these key points, Uchiha Miyuki's mind relaxed, and he also found a key to breaking the deadlock.

Suspicion!

Even ninjas from the same village cannot fully trust each other, and there are various open and covert struggles. How much more so between countries that were once fighting to the death?!
