It's important to know that Konoha doesn't have a tradition of abdicating early.
Both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stepped down from their positions as Hokage posthumously.
Since becoming Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi has stayed in the village and has never gone to any dangerous places.
Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's current lifestyle, living another twenty years wouldn't be a problem.
By that time, Orochimaru and Sakumo Hatake will have long since missed their prime.
After figuring it out, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face.
He said respectfully, "As expected of Father, you have considered everything so thoroughly."
After saying that, he couldn't help but snort at Uchiha Yuzuru: "Yuzuru, if things are really as Father predicted, you have a better chance of becoming Hokage than I do."
"Keep up the good work, the entire Uchiha clan will do everything in its power to support you and create momentum for you."
Compared to Uchiha Yuzuru, he was only five years younger than Orochimaru, and by the time Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped down, he was probably already quite old.
Moreover, before the clan meeting, Uchiha Yuzuru had just defeated him with his powerful eye power.
If we have to compete for the Hokage position, Yuzuru Uchiha is indeed more suitable than him.
Seeing Fugaku Uchiha so composed, Taro Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.
The Uchiha clan values strength above all else. Even if Fugaku were his son, he wouldn't suppress Uchiha Yuzuru for that reason.
Uchiha Taro turned his gaze to Uchiha Yuzuru and asked, "Yuzuru, what do you think?"
Uchiha Yuzuru placed the teacup he was holding on the table with a muffled "bang".
He then shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know whether to call you optimistic or foolish..."
It was perhaps this optimistic mindset, or rather, this stubbornness that wouldn't give up until the very end, that led to the tragedy of the Uchiha clan's annihilation.
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's mutterings, Uchiha Taro, who was waiting for the other to praise him, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Instead of being praised, I was scolded...
I feel like I could vomit blood.
Fugaku Uchiha, who was standing to the side, slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Uchiha Yuzuru, what do you mean by that?"
"There's a limit to arrogance. How dare you be so disrespectful to the clan leader!"
Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and said calmly, "I just don't want to keep what I want to say to myself."
"If I have offended you, then I apologize."
"you!!!"
Fugaku Uchiha felt like he'd punched a pillow; he was so angry his face turned red, and he pointed at Yuzuru Uchiha, speechless.
He originally thought that Uchiha Yuzuru would confront him, and he was prepared to fight him.
Unexpectedly, Yuzuru Uchiha chose to apologize directly...
Where is your Uchiha soul?!
Uchiha Taro, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.
Over the years, he had seen many Uchiha geniuses, and there were even more outrageous ones than Uchiha Yuzuru.
"Yuzuru, can you explain your reasons?"
"Was there anything in the plan I just described that I didn't consider thoroughly?"
Thinking of the Uchiha clan's fate in the original story, Uchiha Yuzuru cut to the chase: "You were wrong from the very beginning."
"No matter who the opponent is, our Uchiha clan can never become Hokage."
Starting with Tobirama Senju, the Hokage lineage has shown a strong sense of vigilance towards the Uchiha clan.
In their minds, the Uchiha clan is a ticking time bomb in the village, and an Uchiha ninja must never become Hokage!
Are you still thinking of waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to step down?
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi abdicated, the Uchiha clan had already been almost completely wiped out by the Hokage lineage!
Chapter 6 The Blade Hanging Over Our Heads
"No matter who the opponent is, our Uchiha clan can never become Hokage?"
Uchiha Taro and Uchiha Fugaku's expressions changed again.
Uchiha Taro stared at Uchiha Yuzuru and said in a deep voice, "Tell me your reasons."
Sensing their gazes, Uchiha Yuzuru thought for a moment and decided to explain.
Unlike him, who was a time traveler, Uchiha Taro and Uchiha Fugaku had no knowledge of the future.
To make them recognize the facts, we must present sufficiently convincing evidence.
After a moment of contemplation, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke up: "Clan Chief Taro, Fugaku, to understand my conclusion, we must start with the late Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was extremely hostile to the Uchiha."
Upon hearing Yuzuru Uchiha mention Tobirama Senju, Taro Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered.
Did the Second Hokage harbor hostility towards the Uchiha clan?
"Yuzuru, although our relationship with the Senju clan wasn't good before Konoha was founded, it's probably not that the Second Hokage was hostile to the Uchiha clan, is it?"
"Our Uchiha clan's current status in the village is all thanks to the policies of the Second Hokage."
"He established the police force and handed over the right to maintain the village's security entirely to our Uchiha clan."
Why do you think the Second Hokage is hostile to our Uchiha clan?
Upon hearing Uchiha Taro's words, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but want to laugh.
No wonder the Uchiha, a powerful ninja clan, gradually perished. With such poor political acumen, they were betrayed and still helped the other party count the money.
All they think about is fighting and killing, it's ridiculous.
Seeing that Yuzuru Uchiha remained silent, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but urge him, "Yuzuru, say something!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru's tone carried a hint of helplessness: "It's because of the police force that our Uchiha clan has such a bad reputation in the village."
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Uchiha Yuzuru explained, "Being responsible for maintaining the security of the entire village sounds like having a lot of power, but in reality, most important matters are handled directly by the Hokage's Anbu."
"The vast majority of the disputes handled by our police force are just conflicts between villagers."
“In most trivial matters of life, it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. Even if it is possible to determine who is right and who is wrong, the party being punished will still resent us as law enforcement officers.”
"And those we help will eventually just feel that we are simply doing what we should be doing."
"No one will be grateful to us; instead, there will be a growing sense of resentment."
"Three men can make a tiger," and even those villagers who have not been punished will distance themselves from us out of fear.
"In addition, the Uchiha clan's inherently unfriendly nature means that we are destined to frequently provoke dissatisfaction among the villagers when dealing with problems. It was to be expected that our relationship with the villagers would deteriorate."
"The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, saw this and that's why he specifically allowed only Uchiha clan ninjas to join the police force."
"Think about it, besides the police force, does Konoha have any other power structure composed solely of members of a single clan of ninja?"
What Uchiha Yuzuru said is almost a universally accepted view in later generations, but for Uchiha Taro and Uchiha Fugaku, who were in the midst of it, such remarks were like a bolt from the blue.
Things they had never thought of before flashed through their minds, and fear gradually crept into their hearts.
They had always wondered why, after so many years, the Uchiha clan still seemed out of place in the village.
So that's where the problem lies!
The Uchiha clan had been plotted against for many years, but if it weren't for Uchiha Yuzuru, they would probably still be kept in the dark.
Thinking of this, another policy formulated by the Second Hokage suddenly flashed through Taro Uchiha's mind.
He licked his dry lips and asked in a trembling voice, "Yuzuru, what about the Second Hokage's permission for our ninjas to stay in the village indefinitely, without having to go out on missions..."
"Just like you think." Yuzuru Uchiha's voice shattered Taro Uchiha's last illusion.
"At the right time, just spread some rumors among the villagers such as 'Why should the rest of us risk our lives to go out on missions, while the Uchiha clan can do risk-free work in the village without any worries?' and the reputation of our Uchiha clan in the village will be completely destroyed."
"This is a bomb that Tobirama Senju deliberately planted."
"A bomb powerful enough to blast our Uchiha clan to smithereens."
After hearing Yuzuru Uchiha's explanation, both Taro Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha broke out in a cold sweat.
They are not fools.
They hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that the truth had been revealed, they instantly understood everything.
What Uchiha Yuzuru said was absolutely not an exaggeration; there really was a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Uchiha clan that could fall at any moment!
They even regarded this as an honor, never expecting that there were so many schemes hidden behind it.
The evil Tobirama Senju!!!
After giving Uchiha Taro and Uchiha Fugaku some time to think, Uchiha Yuzuru continued, "And Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others who inherited Tobirama Senju's will will not give the Uchiha clan a chance to rise again."
"So no matter who the competitors are, the Hokage and the others will never choose our Uchiha."
Upon hearing this, both Uchiha Taro and Uchiha Fugaku looked hesitant. Fugaku retorted, "Yuzuru, after the Third Hokage took over, he didn't take any special measures against the Uchiha clan, did he?"
"Perhaps he's different from the second generation?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, and his right hand couldn't help but reach for the long sword at his waist.
He really wanted to chop this idiot to pieces.
In the original work, Fugaku Uchiha always harbored fantasies about the Hokage lineage.
He named his son Sasuke, wavered between coup d'état and compromise, and sent Itachi and Shisui to the Anbu to be brainwashed...
Including himself, that's three kaleidoscopes!
Even if they did nothing, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura wouldn't dare to make any rash moves against the Uchiha clan, would they?
They practically wiped out the Uchiha clan!
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Yuzuru calmed himself down.
Fugaku Uchiha was certainly not the only member of the clan who harbored fantasies about Hiruzen Sarutobi.
To win their complete allegiance, we must find a way to make all the clansmen see the true colors of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his ilk.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "Clan Chief Taro, you can try suggesting it to Hiruzen Sarutobi and see if he would allow us to reform the police force and let ninjas from other clans or civilian ninjas join in."
"Of course, it would be best to also mention allowing Uchiha ninjas to freely form teams and go out on missions, just like other ninjas."
That's all for today. Thank you for your hospitality.
He has said what he needed to say; some things need time to develop.
With him around, the Uchiha clan members will definitely see the true colors of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others this time.
Let the bullets fly for a while.
Watching Uchiha Yuzuru's departing figure, Uchiha Taro couldn't help but say excitedly, "His vision and strength are impeccable. It seems that an extraordinary person is about to emerge in our clan."
Fugaku Uchiha asked with some concern, "Father, what should we do if the Third Hokage is really as Yuzuru said?"
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Taro sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later. Maybe Yuzuru already has a solution."
"Fugaku, if things really do turn out the worst, then Yuzuru might be the key to breaking the deadlock for the Uchiha clan. You can't hold a grudge against Yuzuru."
"Don't worry, Father." Thinking of Uchiha Yuzuru's terrifying eye power and the intelligence he had just displayed, Uchiha Fugaku muttered, "I'm not that petty."
Chapter 7 Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki
When I left Uchiha Taro's house, it was already fully light.
As Uchiha Yuzuru walked along the streets of his clan's territory, some early risers were already beginning their day's work.
Fragrant steam rose from the breakfast shops lining both sides of the street.
Smelling something delicious, Uchiha Yuzuru, who hadn't eaten all night, went to a steamed bun shop and casually said, "Boss, ten steamed buns, please."
"Alright, that'll be twenty taels for you. Here's one for you. Come back if you like it."
