Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Namikaze Minato.

"I'm not entirely sure, but if my guess is correct, then..."

Minato Namikaze's expression turned serious, as if he had thought of some fearsome being.

He looked up at Uchiha Ryosuke.

Then, in an uncertain tone, he asked, "You must have heard of the First Hokage, who is known as the God of Shinobi, and his incredibly powerful bloodline limit, right?"

"Wood Release?"

Of course, Uchiha Ryosuke couldn't possibly be unaware of something that everyone knew.

Minato Namikaze immediately nodded: "From what I've observed, the cause of death for those Kirigakure ANBU members is most likely an attack by Wood Release ninjutsu, but I'm not entirely sure..."

After all, they had never witnessed the power of Wood Release firsthand.

At Minato Namikaze's age, he had only heard of such a bloodline limit in rumors.

This guess was made based on my experience as a ninja.

"If I remember correctly, no one in this world has ever wielded that power since the First Lord passed away, right?"

"Ah, that's why I felt something was amiss."

Minato Namikaze immediately nodded.

"Now we can only wait for Kakashi to wake up and ask him properly to see if we can get an answer."

Uchiha Ryosuke glanced at the unconscious Kakashi again.

"I'll take him to the hospital now, and then I'll come back and talk to you in detail."

After finishing his sentence, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ryosuke began to think about how to deal with Uchiha Madara and solve the crisis in the ninja world once and for all.

Now that I have become the ruler of Konoha, I must keep my word.

He wanted to make the Uchiha clan the true rulers of the ninja world.

Uchiha Ryosuke returned to his clan's territory, exhausted.

Suddenly a large group of tribesmen emerged and surrounded him.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd parted.

Clan leader Fugaku Uchiha personally led the way, giving him a warm welcome and applause.

"To be honest, I still feel like it's a dream."

"I never imagined that the Uchiha clan would one day become the rulers of Konoha Village."

"You're not just a genius, Ryoyou, you're practically the restorer of the Uchiha clan!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Fugaku Uchiha approached Ryosuke Uchiha and showered him with praise.

This made Uchiha Ryosuke a little uncomfortable.

However, he did not become arrogant or complacent. Instead, he quickly calmed down and solemnly said to Fugaku Uchiha and the other Uchiha clan members, "The Uchiha clan's success today is not only due to my efforts, but also to the contributions and sacrifices of all of you."

"But there are some issues I'd like to discuss while everyone is here."

Upon hearing Uchiha Ryosuke's words, the surrounding clansmen fell silent.

Fugaku Uchiha's smile turned into a serious expression.

Everyone listened patiently, waiting for Uchiha Ryosuke to speak.

"I believe that everyone understands one thing in their hearts: the treatment our Uchiha clan has received in the village has been declining over the years, and the conflict between us and the village has been deepening. It is definitely not just the village's fault."

"Today, the Uchiha clan has been able to ascend to the stage of Konoha's dominance. This opportunity has not come easily, and I hope everyone can listen humbly to what I have to say..."

Uchiha Ryosuke pointed out the problems inherent in the Uchiha clan, such as their arrogance and the communication barriers between them and the villagers of Konoha.

If an ordinary Uchiha clansman said these words, it might not only fail to make the clansmen humbly accept such self-criticism, but would also arouse their dissatisfaction.

But now, it's Uchiha Ryosuke who's saying all this to them.

A genius among the new generation of geniuses of the Uchiha clan, a man whose achievements and strength surpass even Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique.

The Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village.

Under the embellishment of all these dazzling halos, Uchiha Ryosuke's heartfelt words to his clansmen did not arouse their resentment. On the contrary, they were enlightened and benefited greatly from them.

Even Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"In fact, we have been reflecting on these issues, Lord Ryosuke."

"It's just that the villagers have long held a resistant attitude towards us, which has made us lose face, so we retaliated in such a tit-for-tat manner..."

A member of the Uchiha clan, moved and reflecting on his own actions, couldn't help but explain to Uchiha Ryosuke.

His address of "Lord Ryosuke" subtly altered the atmosphere conveyed by all the Uchiha clan members around him.

Instantly, a sense of awe naturally filled everyone's eyes when they looked at Uchiha Ryosuke.

In the world of ninjas, strength is often a symbol of status.

Everything else is a byproduct derived from strength.

Uchiha Ryosuke didn't get cocky just because the clansman called him "Lord Ryosuke".

Of course, he didn't intend to waste any more time talking about these issues.

"In short, if the Uchiha clan wants to rule Konoha for a long time and use Konoha as a springboard to eventually become the ruler of the ninja world, everyone here must show their attitude, train and discipline themselves."

Uchiha Ryosuke's words caused everyone's expression to change instantly. They all stared at each other, completely stunned.

"What? The Uchiha clan wants to rule the ninja world? How come I didn't know about this?"

"It must be Lord Ryosuke's ambition. So his target isn't just Konoha..."

"Is such a thing even possible? Wouldn't that trigger another war?"

"This shouldn't be a short-term goal. Neither the Uchiha nor Konoha currently have the resources to start another large-scale war..."

"Seriously, is it really possible for the Uchiha to become the rulers of the ninja world?"

"..."

The reaction was different from that of the Uchiha clan becoming the rulers of Konoha.

When the clansmen heard Uchiha Ryosuke say that he planned to lead the Uchiha clan to the pinnacle of the ninja world, almost everyone's reaction was one of worry and skepticism.

Even Fugaku Uchiha was quite surprised and kept looking at Ryosuke Uchiha.

Uchiha Ryosuke did not offer much explanation for everyone's concerns.

"This is not a short-term goal."

"In short, we need to consolidate our strength in Konoha. Now that things have come to a close, everyone can relax, do what you need to do, and disperse."

After saying that, Uchiha Ryosuke ignored everyone else, glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, and then walked towards his home.

"Lord Ryyou."

Fugaku Uchiha suddenly called out to his retreating figure.

These words made Uchiha Ryosuke pause in his steps, a slight joy in his heart.

He turned his head without making a sound and looked at Fugaku Uchiha: "I haven't completed my inauguration ceremony yet. There's no need for so many rules within the clan."

"No, this isn't a matter of rules. Regardless of whether you've completed the inauguration ceremony, you've already truly become the Fourth Hokage in the de facto sense, and in terms of status, I am your subordinate."

"Therefore, I will address you this way from now on, please accept it."

After finishing speaking, Fugaku Uchiha gave Ryosuke Uchiha a standard 90-degree bow.

"..."

Seeing his insistence, Uchiha Ryosuke waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want."

"Get some rest. I have tasks for you to complete tomorrow. Remember to come to my office."

...

Silent all night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the entire Hidden Leaf Village came alive with activity.

"I heard that Lord Minato and Lord Ryosuke are going to have a match today. Where are they going to fight?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear anyone notify me."

"It seems they're saying ordinary people aren't allowed near the competition area, to prevent them from being accidentally injured!"

"But I haven't heard the ninjas talking about it..."

"..."

In the village, villagers from all over gathered on the street early in the morning, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Meanwhile, at the 30th training ground outside Konoha Village.

The high-ranking members of Konoha Village, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura, had already arrived here to wait.

Besides them, there were also a large number of ANBU ninjas and elite Jonin from Konoha Village.

They were waiting for Uchiha Ryosuke and Namikaze Minato, of course.

On the upper stands.

Danzo Shimura, in a deep, muffled voice, asked Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him, "Why did you make this choice?"

"Don't you already know the answer, Danzo?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in return.

"A member of the Uchiha clan becoming Hokage will only lead the village into a dark abyss. I never expected that you would make such a choice, Sarutobi. It seems you are indeed getting old."

"You don't actually think that having Minato and Uchiha Ryosuke put on a show and pretend to convince everyone in Konoha of this, do you?"

"That's childish."

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly.

"If the Uchiha clan becomes the ruler of Konoha, it may indeed drag the village into the abyss of war one day in the future, but if we refuse now, Konoha will immediately fall into internal strife."

"I know better than you how to make the choice, Danzo."

"I also want to give you a piece of advice: never have any ulterior motives, and never give orders to deliberately conceal the achievements of the Uchiha clan, causing the villagers to misunderstand the Uchiha clan's affairs. I haven't even held it against you yet."

"If you still intend to play tricks and schemes behind my back, even I won't be able to protect you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm.

This is my heartfelt advice to an old friend.

Although the two have been rivals for many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi believes that Danzo Shimura's actions over the years do not warrant death.

840 He also believed that Danzo Shimura should be able to understand his good intentions.

Unfortunately, at this moment, these words sounded so jarring to Danzo Shimura.

It even led Danzo Shimura to believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi had sided with the Uchiha clan.

He turned his head in surprise and gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep look.

At this moment, two figures appeared simultaneously in the training field, attracting everyone's attention.

A commotion broke out around the training ground.

Shimura Danzo withdrew his astonished gaze and nonchalantly turned to look at the training ground, where Uchiha Ryosuke and Namikaze Minato were already standing facing each other.

"I won't hold back."

"Therefore, you must also give it your all."

Minato Namikaze looked at Ryosuke Uchiha with a confident smile and emphasized it again.

"Then please."

Uchiha Ryosuke beckoned to him.

This casual action immediately caused another commotion among the ninjas watching from all around.

"They're finally going to have a showdown!"
