The Great Hero Uchiha

That wasn't your brother's true strength.

13. Oh my god... The Uchiha clan is going to run for Hokage.

At the young age of twelve, he possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan, which made Uchiha Miyuki attract the attention of everyone present as soon as he entered the conference hall.

However, everyone's attention was quickly drawn away.

Everyone knows that Uchiha Miyuki only has talent in the Sharingan; in other aspects, he can only be described as terrible. He even broke the Uchiha clan's record, becoming the only clan member in history to repeat a year at the Ninja Academy before graduating, redefining the lower limit of ninja talent for the entire Uchiha clan.

"Everyone's here, we can begin now—"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Miyuki looked around and found that there were only twelve people present.

This surprised him somewhat. When he received the clan meeting notice the day before yesterday, it said that twenty-five people would attend, but only twelve people showed up today. The other thirteen had obviously gone to support the front lines... Wasn't the three wars in Konoha supposed to break out completely in four or five years? How come the situation on the front lines has become so tense now!?

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha also spoke up unhurriedly.

"The Hidden Mist Village has increased its frontline forces, and the remaining thirteen people have led a portion of their clansmen to the frontline camp. The police department is now severely understaffed, and the crime rate has increased significantly in the last two days."

Noticing Fugaku Uchiha's gaze, Miyuki Uchiha was somewhat puzzled.

After a while, Fugaku Uchiha finally spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Yuyuki, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Uchiha Miyuki then realized what was happening and slowly shared his thoughts.

"I think the police department should expand its recruitment to include family members of ninjas who are not ninjas, so they can handle those tedious clerical jobs. This would greatly alleviate the pressure of insufficient personnel and avoid the problem of power being divided. At the same time, it can also increase the family's prestige among civilian ninjas, thus increasing their chances of being elected the next Hokage."

Upon seeing that someone was about to object, he immediately continued speaking.

"Right now, with the situation tense on the front lines, we're already experiencing a shortage of manpower. If we don't prepare in advance when the war breaks out in full force, we won't be able to take care of the police department. This will have a significant impact on our candidacy for the Fourth Hokage, and may even affect our candidacy for the Fifth and Sixth Hokage in the future."

Other forces would say, "We can't even manage one department, so how can we manage a village?"

Furthermore, our continued monopolization of power and refusal to open up the police department's authority to others will make other factions worry that we might do the same after becoming Hokage.

Those who were about to voice their objections fell silent.

It was obvious that Uchiha Miyuki was trying to get involved in the Hokage election in every way possible, regardless of the circumstances, and was capitalizing on the clan's desire for the Hokage position. As for why he said this, Uchiha Miyuki wanted to increase his influence in the clan and pave the way for becoming the head of the police department in the future. That was a lucrative position, and he could easily raise the rank of the Ninja Crow Squad by taking a little extra money.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to slightly influence the future development of the Uchiha clan.

As for this plan, is it useful?

He wasn't involved in politics in his past life; he just talked nonsense to stir up emotions first.

Even Fugaku Uchiha fell into deep thought. He could see that the benefits and impact of the plan proposed by Miyuki Uchiha were not as exaggerated as Miyuki Uchiha had said. But what if it was?

Hiruzen Sarutobi is getting old and will soon retire, so the election for the Fourth Hokage will definitely be decided during the Third Shinobi World War.

There are now only five strong contenders for the fourth-generation position.

Fugaku Uchiha, Orochimaru, Sakumo Hatake, Danzo, and Hiashi Hyuga.

All five are veteran Konoha saviors who survived World War II. Among them, Danzo has the highest prestige and is currently the most likely candidate to become the next Hokage, given that he was once a member of the Second Hokage's elite defense force and is also the current Hokage's assistant. Orochimaru, Fugaku Uchiha, and Sakumo Hatake are roughly equal in terms of public prestige.

Hiashi Hyuga was ranked last among the five.

As for Minato Namikaze?

That person was an outstanding member of the new generation, whose prestige and strength were far inferior to the five, and he was not even on the shortlist for the Fourth Hokage.

The impending Third War is a crucial opportunity for the other four to suppress Danzo and become the Fourth Hokage.

This is also why the Uchiha clan concentrated a large number of troops on the front lines.

After pondering for a moment, Fugaku Uchiha spoke.

"pass."

He has made ample preparations for this Hokage election, and has even formed an alliance with the Hyuga clan, so naturally he wants to avoid any problems as much as possible.

They had already expressed their opinions upon seeing the clan leader.

The others considered the pros and cons and nodded. The election of the clan leader for Hokage was a crucial event for the Uchiha clan and a long-cherished wish of all Uchiha members since the founding of Konoha. This wish stemmed from the long-standing feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans. What the Senju clan could do, the Uchiha clan could only do better!

The second generation failed in the election, the third generation failed in the election...

The series of defeats fueled the resentment within the Uchiha clan, making them extremely eager for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

"Reconsider."

"Reconsider."

"Reconsider."

……

There was originally a second agenda item at the clan meeting, which was the selection of personnel to reinforce the front lines. However, Kirigakure suddenly exerted pressure, and this issue was arranged before the clan meeting even started.

After the clan meeting ended, Uchiha Miyuki returned to his own courtyard, where Shisui continued practicing the Great Fireball Technique.

I go!

Is the difference between people really that big?

Both were practicing the Great Fireball Technique for the first time, but Shisui had to rest for a long time after each release because he had too little chakra. But how long has it been... Now, the power of Shisui's Great Fireball Technique has surpassed that of him by several levels, and it's the kind that Uchiha Miyuki will have a hard time catching up with in a short period of time.

His talent in ninjutsu far surpasses his.

Shisui has only been in the Ninja Academy for a year and has just completed his training. Uchiha Miyuki feels that he is about to ask Shisui for advice on ninjutsu training.

Ugh!

How am I supposed to maintain my authority as the older brother now?

Does this mean I should learn from Itachi Uchiha and give my Mangekyou Sharingan to Shisui to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so I can just watch Shisui wreak havoc like other transmigrators? Uh—no, by then I'll be blind and won't be able to see anything. I can only stand by and watch Shisui create all sorts of legends with a sense of satisfaction.

"Brother, you're back—"

"Ah."

"I have mastered the Great Fireball Technique!"

"Hmm, Shisui, you're amazing. You'll definitely surpass your brother and become a great ninja in the future."

Shisui nodded firmly.

"Yes! I will definitely surpass my brother and become Hokage!"

"If you want to become Hokage, you'll have to work twice as hard!"

"I will get it."

14. Sarutobi Asuma got arrogant—

Uchiha Miyuki silently left a clone behind to watch Shisui practice ninjutsu and feed the crows, while his main body went to the public training ground.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Still—

The technique of small flames.

However, like taijutsu, ninjutsu also has the characteristic that hard work can make up for shortcomings.

With his chakra level approaching that of an elite genin, he repeatedly unleashed the Great Fireball Technique to squeeze more chakra from his cells and improve its quality. However, compared to others, the quality of his chakra was too poor; anyone with even a little talent could easily overwhelm him in this aspect.

This is also the main reason why he focused on illusion techniques for two years and relaxed his ninjutsu training.

The quality of chakra also affects one's physical martial arts talent.

simply put--

Chakra is the foundation of a ninja, directly related to their talent in all aspects of training.

The only way for ordinary ninjas to change this situation is to make up for their lack of talent by using a lot of ninjutsu to improve their skills little by little.

Once, twice, three times...

Uchiha Miyuki uses his superb chakra control to allocate every bit of chakra, ensuring that there is no waste of chakra when he releases the Great Fireball Technique. This is also why ordinary ninjas specialize in one skill first, and then make up for other deficiencies after their strength has improved.

If he hadn't first pushed his genjutsu talent to its limits and accumulated chakra, but instead focused on ninjutsu training...

His current strength is not even as good as an ordinary genin.

This might work in peacetime, as it could be seen as a way to accumulate strength and unleash it later. Once the quality of chakra is improved, and one's genjutsu talent is further developed, a period of rapid growth in strength will follow. However... in this current time, war could break out at any moment. Choosing this method is pure suicide. It's easy to be killed by others before one has even grown up.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages; neither is superior, only whether one is suitable or not.

When chakra is exhausted—

He then began running laps around the training ground to improve his stamina and physical fitness. Whenever his chakra recovered to some extent, he would use it up while running laps to hone the quality of his chakra.

During this time, he encountered two green-skinned genin.

It was Might Guy and his son Might Dai. Compared to them, his training level was practically at the kindergarten level.

The two sides did not speak, each continuing their own training.

This is a public training ground. There are not only the three of them here, but also many other genin and chunin who are also engaged in various training. However, there is no one among these people who is familiar to Uchiha Miyuki. During this time, he also tried out the ability of the two-tomoe Sharingan, copying, and the effect can only be described as very average.

The Sharingan's ability to copy ninjutsu is directly related to one's own ninjutsu talent.

The stronger one's ninjutsu talent, the stronger their copying ability; conversely, the weaker their copying ability, the weaker it is.

For him, the ability of the two-tomoe Sharingan was simply to observe the opponent's chakra flow to determine whether the opponent was about to release a ninjutsu.

After a day of training, Uchiha Miyuki sold the ninja tools he had embezzled from the front lines. He then went to the Inuzuka clan's base and bought two ninja crows with chakra close to that of an ordinary genin. He was immediately drained of all his money, but with the assistance of these two genin-level summoning beasts, his combat power was greatly enhanced.

"I spend millions of yen here every year, and I'm already a regular customer. Can't you give me some free gifts?"

"Aren't you annoying? Every time you come, you want a free gift... I've told you so many times, taming spirit beasts requires a lot of costs! Otherwise... if this money were really that easy to make, there wouldn't be only one beast taming farm in the village."

"All right--"

Almost every time Uchiha Miyuki came, he would try to get some freebies, even if it was just a shuriken.

however……

Every time, I get a cold shoulder.

Ugh!
