The Great Hero Uchiha

Minato Namikaze stood before Miyuki Uchiha.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Let's meet at the Hokage's office later."

"it is good."

After the traditional ceremony of paying respects at the memorial monument ended, Uchiha Miyuki said something to Uchiha Fugaku beside him, and then got up and walked towards the Hokage Building. However, before leaving the memorial monument cemetery, he found that Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi were still standing in front of the memorial monument with solemn expressions, just like in the original story.

He paused for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

They arrived at the Hokage's office.

"I'd like to talk to you about Danzo and the two former advisors."

Uchiha Miyuki was not surprised; his gaze remained as calm as ever.

"Did the Third Hokage send you to find me?"

"Correct."

Minato Namikaze did not hide anything.

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head directly. "The war is not over yet, and it is not appropriate to release them now. Moreover, they have committed such a huge mistake that caused the deaths of thousands of ninjas and almost led to their defeat at the village entrance. Keeping them locked up for a while longer is for their own good. Otherwise, I am worried that they will commit suicide out of shame under the criticism of other ninjas. You know what happened to White Fang."

I'm protecting them.

You must understand my good intentions. Everyone makes mistakes and slips up. They've always been wholeheartedly devoted to the village, just like the White Fang of Konoha back then. You also need to be careful not to let the Third Hokage commit suicide out of shame because of the criticism from those around him. They dedicated their entire lives to the village.

Once you're in, you think you can get out?

Not only are there no doors, but even the windows have been sealed off!

P.S.: I was startled by what you guys said about sudden death.

I took a bath and went outside for some fresh air, which is why I'm updating so late today.

Two chapters guaranteed.

I've decided to add an extra chapter today, depending on the situation.

161. What was discussed at this meeting?

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment before snapping out of his daze, and replied with a somewhat strange expression.

"it is good."

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at the Hokage Rock outside the window; it still only had three heads on it, and Namikaze Minato was still the acting Hokage.

"Is there anything else?"

"Your applications for the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique] and [Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique] have been approved. You can only view them in the Hokage's office and cannot take them out."

"Ah."

They took the forbidden scroll containing the technique of "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".

Uchiha Miyuki quickly flipped through the pages. Regardless of whether he could replicate Naruto Uzumaki's training method later, Uchiha Miyuki felt that he should master this technique first. After memorizing the contents of the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique], he began to flip through the [Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique]. After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The Third Hokage was indeed very skilled in ninjutsu research; he truly deserved to be called the professor of ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

"Be careful when using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique; it's extremely dangerous."

"Ah."

After a few casual words, Uchiha Miyuki understood.

This senior advisor position was indeed just a nominal one; the only real thing he held was the right to vote at high-level meetings.

However, the Hokage has veto power.

It doesn't mean much to the Uchiha clan; at most, it just looks good.

After leaving the Hokage's office, I wanted to meet up with Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, but I found that Sarutobi Asuma had already left the village and had obviously returned to the Daimyo's side to continue being a Guardian Ninja. I did have a meal of three-colored dumplings with Yuhi Kurenai and chatted briefly about Might Dai and Might Guy, the two eccentric father and son taijutsu masters, before we parted ways again.

I met with Momoe Aburame and Masami.

Previously, during the Second Battle of the River Country, the two encountered the murderer from that time and completed their revenge.

Momoe Aburame criticized him, saying he was a terrible teacher and hadn't shown up since they parted ways in the Land of Grass.

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head helplessly.

"That's how it is during wartime."

If even Minato Namikaze couldn't be a good team leader, then the other Jonin were even less likely to be.

Basically, they would simply impart some experience and then let the team grow freely. Unlike in later generations, where team leaders were like nannies, seemingly very idle. During wartime, even splitting a Jonin in two wouldn't be enough. Someone like Uchiha Miyuki, who not only imparted experience but also helped formulate the team's tactical direction, was considered to be very responsible.

The next day, a meeting was held at the senior management level.

It's about the strategy going forward.

The Third Hokage resigned from his position, so logically he shouldn't have been involved in this kind of meeting, however—

He still had a seat at the meeting.

"Now that the war has ended, shouldn't the vote of confidence for Advisor Yuxing be cast?"

As soon as Uchiha Miyuki walked in, he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

"Oh, that's what I neglected!

Whether to continue delaying it now seems pointless, but as long as Minato Namikaze insists on waiting until the vote ends, Miyuki Uchiha will remain the acting Hokage as long as he doesn't vote.

"Fill out the form now before the meeting starts."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi produced a brand new ballot, clearly unable to persuade Minato Namikaze, and thus sought a breakthrough with Miyuki Uchiha to get Minato to accept the title of "actor".

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at the vote, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze, as well as the others present.

He withdrew his gaze from the crowd.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally wrote three words on it, bringing the Jonin trust vote to a close.

Disagree

The meaning is self-evident.

He just felt that Minato Namikaze was not capable enough.

It was not an act of impulse.

It's not because becoming a senior advisor didn't grant him the corresponding rights.

It wasn't because he was the Hokage, and given the circumstances of the battle, he prevented the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from participating due to personal feelings.

It's not that Minato Namikaze listens too much to Hiruzen Sarutobi's opinions.

Instead, Minato Namikaze wanted to be impartial and stabilize the political situation within the village, but he had too many concerns. This kind of personality is really not suitable for being Hokage.

With this vote cast.

The word "acting" in "acting Hokage" can be removed, as Minato Namikaze has become the actual Fourth Hokage.

Minato Namikaze took the ballot and sighed before speaking: "Over the past three years, we have lost too many comrades in the face of successive wars. I want to maintain the current situation and try to end the Third Shinobi World War as completely as possible. From now on, the village will no longer accept war missions. What are your opinions?"

No one spoke; they were clearly waiting for someone to speak.

And this person is none other than—

It was Uchiha Miyuki.

"..."

Say something? Say what?

A lengthy explanation and analysis, ultimately rejected by vote!?

Uchiha Miyuki sat silently in his seat, waiting for the topic to end.

Minato Namikaze asked.

"Advisor Yuxing, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head very decisively.

I have no opinion.

Are you kidding me? Do you think you could spare your time to deal with me without external pressure?!

This is a traditional skill of Konoha.

Moreover, he really didn't have any good solutions to the current situation. The simplest solution was to go to war directly. However, compared to war, he preferred to win through strategies other than war. But right now, he only had a nominal position as a high-level advisor, and at most a police department. These were all effective internally. All other important resources were in the hands of the Senju clan.

Minato Namikaze glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then at Miyuki Uchiha.

He felt that Uchiha Miyuki was outstanding and should be given important responsibilities, but he was also worried that this would further provoke other forces, causing the village to fall into chaos before the enemy even attacked. The village had just gone through a three-year war and could not afford to fall into chaos again.

And you?

Everyone remained silent.

Uchiha Miyuki's first high-level meeting ended without any significant discussion. The Hokage was responsible for making proposals, and the rest of the people voted. No one spoke unless absolutely necessary.

This is true not only in Konoha, but also in other villages.

Even in the event of a major incident, the meetings are basically meaningless. The rule of the ninja world is that if something really needs to be done, everyone does it in secret. Except for being a village and appearing to be united, they are basically a disorganized mess. If Uchiha Miyuki wants to change this situation, he can only do so after he becomes Hokage.

Otherwise, if this were brought up, the Senju clan would say that he was trying to undermine the Hokage's power.

Just as one should do what one is in a position of power, one should do what one is in a position of authority.

162. What are you so happy about!

Back at the Uchiha clan's residence, Uchiha Miyuki glanced at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who were huddled together.

Seeing the two cultivating, he wanted to offer some pointers but awkwardly discovered they were practicing Fire Release techniques.

To this day, he only knows one Fireball.

His Fire Release nature transformation was only at the Chunin level. In this respect, ten-year-old Uchiha Shisui had already surpassed him, and five-year-old Uchiha Itachi was almost on par with him.

I really am an oddball!
