The Great Hero Uchiha

Uchiha Miyuki frowned.

It wasn't because his family only provided him with ten ninja crows, but because he didn't understand why anyone would target him.

Among so many people in the Uchiha clan, he was clearly the least noticeable one.

It took him three years to rise from genin to chunin.

and many more!

Uchiha Miyuki then realized the crux of the problem and couldn't help but smile wryly.

really--

Compared to the strength or weakness of talents in other areas.

The three-tomoe Sharingan is still a bit too obvious.

Although he always strictly followed the principle of "the weak should preserve their lives and not show off their strength," his talent other than the Sharingan was too poor. He had no other means to fight his enemies, which made it impossible for him to hide his abilities. He could only grit his teeth and use the three-tomoe Sharingan. However, he was still careful to avoid showing the three-tomoe Sharingan to outsiders. But there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

He wrote his name on the summoning scroll, and then infused Sharingan genjutsu and ocular power into the eyes of ten Chunin-level ninja crows and the rest of the ninja crows.

At the same time, they also called Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai in.

"Asuma, Kurenai, am I famous outside?"

Unlike Uchiha Miyuki, who didn't pay much attention to outside intelligence, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were both quite interested in various kinds of information.

This wasn't because Uchiha Miyuki didn't value intelligence, but rather—

They were used to having the two of them handle external intelligence, just as they were used to Uchiha Miyuki's caution.

The three influenced each other.

"You're not very well-known in Konoha, but my father pays a lot of attention to you."

Upon hearing Sarutobi Asuma's words, Uchiha Miyuki's heart sank immediately.

Got it!

The worst has happened...

Being noticed by the Third Hokage indirectly indicates that he has entered the sights of the higher-ups.

It's just a three-tomoe Sharingan, not a Mangekyou Sharingan.

Is it really necessary?!

Then Kurenai's words made Miyuki Uchiha feel even colder.

"Our team's reputation is even wider among the Chunin of Sunagakure than it is in Konoha. The analysis department extracted a lot of information about the Chunin of Sunagakure's perception of our team from the corpses..." At this point, Kurenai Yuhi seemed to have thought of a joke, and she could hardly suppress her laughter.

"Hahaha, no... I'm dying of laughter—"

Kurenai Yuhi laughed, but Asuma Sarutobi said with a sullen expression, "Back in Sunagakure, they call me 'the cowardly Hokage descendant,' blaming all our team's cautiousness on me. They even say 'I always steal your credit during missions to prevent you from leveling up,' and they even call you 'the frustrated Uchiha genius' because of it—"

Tell me, am I wronged or not?!

I didn't do anything!

Why is this happening?!

Sarutobi Asuma sat there dumbfounded, on the verge of tears.

Upon hearing these words, even Uchiha Miyuki couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"These Sand Village villagers are incredibly talented—"

Sarutobi Asuma continued, annoyed, "What's so great about being talented... Actually, this is normal logic. When you were still a genin, you almost killed the Mummified Corpse Squad all by yourself. Even now, the Mummified Corpse Squad still doesn't know when they fell into your genjutsu again after you broke the book-changing spell. Moreover, they also know that you have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan after the genjutsu was broken."

Anyone in your position would haile you as a genius.

The Sand Village even regarded him as a super genius on par with Kakashi.

Naturally, no one would associate our team's cautious style with you. Compared to me, Kurenai's identity seems rather ordinary. Whether for political or gossip reasons, it's most fitting to pin the blame for being a coward on me... Sigh! I'll be carrying the title of "Cowardly Hokage Descendant" among the Sunagakure ninja for the rest of my life."

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma's dejected expression, Kurenai Yuhi's laughter, which she had just stopped, rose again.

Uchiha Miyuki's face darkened as a result.

No!

I've been so cautious, graduating from the Ninja Academy at the age of nine, and then it took me three more years to become a Chunin, and I haven't achieved anything particularly outstanding... How come I'm considered a super genius on par with Kakashi?

Seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but ask a question.

"what happened?"

"I don't have any outstanding achievements, so how come Sunagakure considers me a super genius on par with Kakashi??"

Sarutobi Asuma was a little confused.

"Isn't being famous a good thing?"

Kurenai Yuhi was also somewhat puzzled. "Yeah, isn't being famous a good thing? And you shouldn't always look down on yourself like that! In Asuma's and my opinion, you're really not much worse than Kakashi, and your potential is even higher. You're a Bloodstained Ninja! Not only do I agree with that, but even my parents agree."

Do your parents agree?

No way—

How did I become so famous?!

Normally, he would graduate at the age of nine, but it took him three years to be promoted from a genin to a chunin. He had been slacking off the whole time and didn't have many outstanding achievements.

By all accounts, I should have remained unknown.

Uchiha Miyuki argued somewhat unwillingly, "I entered the Ninja Academy a year early, spent a year in class before barely reaching graduation level, and took three years to become a Chunin. Even now, my ninjutsu and taijutsu are still terrible. Most importantly... apart from that time against the Mummified Corpse Squad, I don't have any outstanding achievements!"

No matter how you look at it, I'm far inferior to Kakashi.

Kurenai Yuhi was still confused, not understanding why Uchiha Miyuki would look down on her so much.

"But you have the Sharingan with three tomoe!"

Sarutobi Asuma picked up the conversation and continued.

"The Sharingan with three tomoe is just a vague term."

My father said that the reason Kakashi seems more outstanding than you is because his strengths are more suited to the mainstream ninja system, giving him an early advantage. Your strengths, on the other hand, are different from the mainstream ninja system, which is why you perform so poorly. However, given enough time, once you fully develop your bloodline power and achieve this rebirth through accumulated experience, you will be able to shine brightly.

The difference between you and Kakashi will be minimal, and you might even surpass Kakashi's achievements.

Yuki, you're already very strong.

There's no need to belittle yourself like that.

You are already widely recognized as the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in this generation!

Confident my ass!

I'm now brimming with confidence thanks to all the praise I've received, but my situation has become dangerous!

For Chunin, the greater their reputation, the more dangerous their situation becomes.

Not only will they be targeted by rival hidden villages, but they will also be more easily drawn into the village's political struggles.

41. Understand yourself, understand the world.

At this point, Uchiha Miyuki finally understood why he was being targeted. The Third Hokage's high regard for him was bound to attract the attention of the entire higher-ups.

Having been in this world for so long, he has also acquired a lot of information that was not mentioned in the original work.

For example--

The interior of Konoha is not an iron tube.

When Konoha was first established, there were only two voices: the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. However, as the era of the two gods, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, came to an end, different voices gradually emerged in the village, and it was no longer just the Senju and Uchiha factions. This situation became more and more obvious after Tobirama Senju's death.

Two of them have a more significant voice.

One faction is led by two senior advisors, Koharu Utatane and Eiji Mitokado.

The other is the Hyuga faction, led by the Hyuga clan.

Besides these, there are many other factions, large and small, but they are not very noticeable compared to the four major factions: the Senju faction, the Uchiha faction, the Hyuga faction, and the Group faction.

The faction that is relatively opposed to the Uchiha clan is the Senju faction!

They are closer to the Hyuga clan, one of the other two factions, and generally less aligned with the group factions.

Uchiha Miyuki wasn't very clear on further information. It wasn't that he hadn't tried to gather it, but rather that his strength wasn't sufficient to access it. After all, he was only a Chunin at the moment, and to gain access to the village's political situation and various secrets, he would have to wait until his strength reached the level of a Special Jonin.

Ugh!

I just wanted to take it easy and quietly improve my skills, but somehow I ended up getting caught up in political struggles without even realizing it.

An ordinary Chunin would be completely bewildered at this moment, unaware of who was targeting them. However, Uchiha Miyuki, relying on what he had learned from the original story, had already figured it out.

The person who attacked him was most likely Danzo, the current Hokage's assistant who aspires to become Hokage!

In addition, Hiruzen Sarutobi and two senior advisors.

Danzo's conflict with the Uchiha clan stemmed from his struggle for the Fourth Hokage position. He wasn't just targeting the Uchiha, but anyone who could threaten his chances of becoming Hokage! Meanwhile, the two high-ranking advisors worried that the Uchiha would lose their current power if they became Hokage! Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted the Hokage position to be passed down through a single lineage!

Even with the impact of the previous guardian clan, he would not fully accept this setting.

After all, those were just words spoken by Uchiha, and they must have contained a lot of his own thoughts. Moreover, the situation he had seen and felt before was affected by his strength, so he couldn't know much about the political situation. Furthermore, the original work did not describe in detail what happened during this period.

That's why he didn't want to pay too much attention to these things before.

Their strength is too weak, and their access to things is limited; many things are beyond the reach of Chunin and Genin.

In the past, he could coast along because he felt he wasn't particularly remarkable. Even if someone wanted to target the Uchiha clan, they wouldn't choose him; they would only target those so-called Uchiha geniuses. But now, he has inexplicably become the Uchiha clan's recognized strongest genius of the contemporary era... With such a prestigious reputation, anyone who wants to scheme against the Uchiha clan will inevitably include him in their plans.

Ugh!

Plans really can't keep up with changes.

These are things that only Jonin would get involved in, so how did they suddenly happen to me like this?!

Fortunately...

The situation isn't that bad right now.

[Pay attention to the task success rate.]

Just as Fugaku Uchiha reminded us in his letter.
