To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"Chonghua, call me Uncle Lutai."

"......Yes, Uncle Lutai. I wonder what the uncle wants me to do today?"

Uchiha Tadai pretended to be dissatisfied when he heard this and said, "Can't you come if there's nothing else? Shigeka, you should come to play with Mikoto more often in the future. That child has a good relationship with you. Since she went to the ninja school, she has been saying your name every day at home."

Uchiha Ridai patted his right ear and laughed, "My ears are callused from listening to you."

Are you sure you didn't make this up?

Uchiha Shigeka was skeptical. He just thought that Uchiha Taroko was using Mikoto's relationship to get close to him.

In response to this, Uchiha Shigeka naturally nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Uncle Ryudai, I will come to play with Mikoto more often in the future."

"Yeah, that's right."

Uchiha Rida nodded with satisfaction, then he took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka took it and looked at the other party in confusion.

What kind of trick is this? Just start giving gifts right away?

"Ugh."

Uchiha Taroko suddenly sighed, "I have already sent those six people to prison. I will give them the necessary punishment. It was all because of my failure to take good care of the affairs of the clan. I learned about this from my daughter Mikoto."

The truth is that he learned the whole story from his subordinate Uchiha Kizawa, but it was indeed Mikoto who asked Uchiha Kizawa to secretly protect Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka's parents knew that some individuals in the clan were dissatisfied with his frequent visits to the Senju clan, and other people would naturally know about it.

Uchiha Mikoto is the person with a caring heart.

Ever since I heard that someone disliked Uchiha Shigeka, I am sure that someone would take the risk to bully Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Mikoto then ordered Uchiha Kizawa to protect Uchiha Shigeka secretly.

But Uchiha Shigeka's strength surprised them all.

A five-year-old child can actually defeat six Genin. What a talent and ability.

When Uchiha Rida heard it for the first time, he was completely incredulous, but with the assurance of his subordinates, he had to believe it.

The five-year-old child in front of him already had the strength of a Genin. Such a talent was so amazing that Uchiha Tadao immediately wanted to win him over.

I really have to thank my daughter Mikoto. Her action to protect her classmate actually allowed her to discover this genius first.

"There are two ninjutsu in here. This is my apology. Please accept it."

Uchiha Shigeka declined: "Uncle Lutai, please take it back. It was those six people who had dark intentions. It has nothing to do with Uncle Lutai. There is no need to apologize to me."

Uchiha Tadao held down the wooden box that was handed to him and pushed it back forcefully.

"If it's wrong, it's wrong. No need to say more. Just accept it with peace of mind, Chonghua."

Uchiha Shigeka took the wooden box and said modestly, "Okay, I'll take it. Please don't take it to heart, Uncle Lutai."

"But, does Uncle Lutai have any objection to my frequent visits to the Senju clan's territory?"

Uchiha Ryotai picked up a glass of sake and laughed, "Of course I have no objection, Chonghua. I am different from some people in the clan. Don't worry, I will not stop you from going to the Senju clan. On the contrary, I hope you can go there more often."

"Shigeka, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan used to be enemies, but now, we are all part of Konoha."

"We are the Uchiha clan of Konoha, do you understand?"

Uchiha Shigeka nodded, he understood.

The Uchiha Tadao in front of him is from the pro-Konoha official faction within the Uchiha clan.

He was happy to see Uchiha Shigeka frequently go to the Senju clan's territory.

Uchiha Rida laughed in his heart at those Uchiha clan members who were unable to see the reality and were obsessed with their past glory.

According to their tough thinking style, the Uchiha will only face destruction instead of becoming stronger.

This is no longer the era when ninja clans fight each other.

There are large and small ninja clans in the big family of Konoha. Can the Uchiha clan fight against the entire Konoha alone?

Uchiha Ridai felt in his heart that it was impossible. Since it was impossible for the Uchiha to dominate Konoha alone, it would always do no harm to get closer to the Konoha officials.

"I heard your dream is to become Hokage?"

Uchiha Shigeka nodded and said with longing: "I like Konoha, I like everyone here, I like everything here, I want to protect them."

Uchiha Shigeka said in a loud voice: "I want to be Hokage."

Uchiha Tadai clapped his hands and laughed, "It's a good dream. My dream used to be to become a Hokage."

Is this true or false?

Uchiha Shigeka looked at him with approval, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

In the early years of Konoha, the authority of the Hokage was not as solid and popular as it is now. Was it said that Uchiha Tadao's dream at that time was to become Hokage?

Ha ha.

"There are many things you need to prepare to become a Hokage, the first of which is extraordinary strength that people will admire and believe in."

Uchiha Tadao called Uchiha Shigeka to stand up, and the two of them walked across the corridor and came to the courtyard.

"Let me check your strength."

"Dad, this is Chonghua's first day as a guest at home, no fighting allowed!"

Wow!

Uchiha Mikoto opened the door and ran out from another room, looking at her father Uchiha Tadao with dissatisfaction.

"Hey, my dear daughter, why did you run out?" Uchiha Takai patted Mikoto's head: "Does this prove that you were eavesdropping?"

"what!"

Uchiha Mikoto screamed and turned around with a look of shame on her face.

Uchiha Shigeka responded with a gentle smile.

He had already sensed that Uchiha Mikoto was eavesdropping in the next room. Since her father did not stop Mikoto from eavesdropping, he would not interfere and drive Mikoto away.

Besides, it was the first time he and Uchiha Tadao met, and they wouldn't be able to talk about in-depth topics with each other.

This kind of eavesdropping is harmless.

"It's okay, Mikoto. Remember to be more careful next time."

"I'm sorry, Chonghua."

Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at his father with raised eyebrows.

"No fighting allowed. Chonghua is here for the first time, so we must treat him well."

"Mother has prepared the meal. Dad, Chonghua, let's go eat."

Uchiha Tadai shook his head, feeling sorry: "Alas, I still want to see Shigeka's strength, but Mikoto is right, we really can't use force when we meet for the first time, we should treat the guests with delicious food."

"Chonghua, let's leave the inspection of strength for next time. Please come here more often. You have acquired two ninjutsu. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

......

Chapter 17: The End of Sand Village

At night, Uchiha Shigeka opened the exquisite box and checked the two ninjutsu.

A C-level Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu, and a B-level Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Uchiha Shigeka threw it aside.

As someone who possesses the character card of Uchiha Itachi, he has already learned these two ninjutsu.

What was really useful was Uchiha Rida's words about asking him if he didn't understand something.

As a Jonin of the Uchiha clan, his experience and knowledge made him more favored by Uchiha Shigeka.

You can go and ask for advice, but not too often.

Although he is pro-Konoha, his main concern is the interests of the Uchiha clan.

The character that Uchiha Shigeka wants to create now is one that transcends the interests of his own clan and loyally follows the interests of the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The human heart is unpredictable, and being too deeply involved with the Uchiha clan could easily cause Sarutobi Hiruzen to have other thoughts, which would be disadvantageous to him.

One day later, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the Ninja School to give a lecture.

After class, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered the top ten students of the class together and comforted them one by one.

When it was Uchiha Shigeka's turn, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked pleased.

"Chonghua, work harder. Although you are excellent as the top student in the grade, you must not relax or slack off."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder and said with a smile: "I have always been paying attention to you."

Uchiha Shigeka was as excited as a die-hard fan meeting his idol, and his voice was nervous and trembling when responding.

"Yes! I will study hard and will not let Hokage down!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, then took out a scroll and handed it to Uchiha Shigeka.

"This is the reward for being the top student in the grade. It is a shadow clone technique with a learning difficulty of B level."

"It's actually a B-level ninjutsu, Lord Hokage, this is too precious!"

Uchiha Shigeka appeared extremely excited, but there was no emotion in his heart.

The ninjutsu that Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him was also the Shadow Clone Technique, and Uchiha Shigeka didn't know what to say.

"Take it. You have excellent grades, and this is what you deserve. I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mikoto each a C-level ninjutsu and left.

"Minato, Mikoto, let's learn the Shadow Clone Technique together."

Uchiha Shigeka extended an invitation, but Namikaze Minato quickly refused, saying, "That's not good. That's your reward."

"Because it's my reward, I have the final say on how to deal with it!"

Seeing that Namikaze Minato was still refusing, Uchiha Shigeka said in dissatisfaction: "Okay, Minato, don't refuse. I have already learned the Shadow Clone Technique. This ninjutsu is useless to me. It's okay for you to learn it."

"How about this, you show me your ninjutsu?"

"One B-level, one C-level..."

Namikaze Minato was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Uchiha Shigeka was a little angry, his voice became softer: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Shigeka, I made you suffer."

"Has Chonghua learned the Shadow Clone Technique so quickly?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned. The ninjutsu that she had just taught a few days ago had already been learned by her?

However, with Shigeka's feat of defeating six Genin, his talent and ability have been proven, and it is reasonable when you think about it that he can quickly learn the Shadow Clone Technique.

"Then I will share the jutsu I got."

Finally, the three of them learned from each other the bonus ninjutsu they had obtained.

Minato Namikaze's is Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, and Uchiha Mikoto's is Fire Style: Flame Meteor.

One blew out strong winds, and the other spit out small fireballs continuously.

Uchiha Shigeka had already tested the properties of his chakra, which were fire and lightning.

The chakra attributes inherited from Uchiha Itachi's character card are fire, wind, and water.

He can also learn Minato Namikaze's wind-style ninjutsu.

Everyone has yin and yang attributes, but the tendencies are different to varying degrees, so the only thing Uchiha Shigeka lacks in completing the seven attributes is the earth attribute.

This depends on whether he can obtain it after graduating to become a Genin and drawing the Ninja World Character Card.

......

The news that Uchiha clan's second-in-command, Uchiha Tadao, was optimistic about Uchiha Shigeka spread.

Uchiha Shigeka can now feel the gazes from all directions whenever he walks in the clan territory.

He turned a blind eye and would have expected this to happen.

Uchiha Ridai was optimistic about his potential and tried to win him over, so naturally he wanted to leave the mark of his faction on him.
