Konoha Ninja Village, the land of the Uchiha clan. An expensive cup flew out of the door and fell to the ground hard. The scattered fragments frightened two civet cats who were playing around.

He looked into the room with puzzled eyes, wondering why the owner, who usually spoke in a leisurely manner, was so angry.

Uchiha Shishan was like a trapped animal, walking around the room, his usual calmness disappeared, and a thick look of anger hung on his face. The few people kneeling on the floor lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

After a long time, Uchiha Shishan calmed down and sat on a chair, looked at everyone and said, "Tell me what to do next."

Several people raised their heads cautiously and looked at the face of the elder of the clan. They all felt shuddered and lost the courage to speak.

Seeing the silent people below, Shishan Uchiha sighed deeply and had no choice but to name them.

"Uchiha Shinichi, you speak first."

Uchiha Shinichi, who was named, swallowed, quietly straightened his back and said: "The top priority is to determine the whereabouts of the Uchiha Mirror. I suggest sending the family's dead men to the Kingdom of Rain to search for it.

Seeing corpses is a rule within the clan."

"What I'm asking about is how to calm down the village's anger, not the life or death of that loser!"

The great elder who had accumulated power for a long time put a lot of pressure on Uchiha Shinichi. Under the gaze of the other party, he calmed down and said after thinking for a few times: "I suggest joining forces with the Senju clan!"

The others, who had their heads lowered, trembled when they heard this, but said nothing. The atmosphere in the room gradually became weird.

Uchiha Shizan's fingers knocked on the table, as if knocking on everyone's hearts. After drinking tea, he said: "You will take the lead in this matter and leave it to the ceremonial room. Keep your attitude low.

, report to me at any time. In addition, from today on, you are the leader of the Uchiha clan."

After casually appointing the new clan leader, Uchiha Shishan stood up and walked out slowly. Several people who were kneeling hurriedly bent down and respectfully sent away the highly prestigious elder.

After Uchiha Shishan left, several people in the room stood up and congratulated Uchiha Shinichi with smiles on their faces.

These people know that Uchiha Shinichi, who has the support of the great elder, is a sure thing to become the clan leader. Uchiha Shinichi, who responded to everyone's congratulations reservedly, is not very happy about his upcoming appointment as clan leader. He is just a puppet clan leader.

, there’s really nothing to be happy about.

This is an iron rule that no autocratic organization can go far. The secret of the ancient Uchiha's ability to pass down the millennium and remain glorious is to get rid of autocratic rule. The role of the establishment of the Elders Council is to weaken the influence of the clan leader within the clan. But

By Uchiha Shinichi's generation, the family was damaged due to the insistence of the former patriarch Uchiha Madara, and the position of patriarch has been vacant for decades. If it weren't for the strong rise of Uchiha Mirror, those so-called elders would not consider it.

The matter of electing a clan leader.

After dealing with a few people, Uchiha Shinichi returned home. With a high status in the clan, his living conditions were naturally not bad.

After changing into slippers at the entrance and coming to the living room, he saw his son Uchiha Fugaku lying on the ground with his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.

Uchiha Shinichi's own qualifications are not outstanding, and he has always been dominated by Uchiha Kage in the clan. He has never cared about this because he has a good son.

"Fugaku, why didn't you go to the garrison?"

After pouring a cup of tea, Uchiha Shinichi was shocked by his son's words before he could drink it.

"Father, do you really want to join forces with the Thousand Hands Clan?"

Looking at his son lying on the ground in surprise, Uchiha Shinichi had a smile on his face, and deliberately considered: "Oh? Who said this? The Senju clan is our feud, how could we fight with them?

Join forces."

Uchiha Fugaku sat up and said seriously: "Because the Senju clan will be afraid that he will be the next unlucky one."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Third Hokage is from the Senju line."

There was a sneer on Fugaku's young face, and he snorted and said: "It's your own people who are the most ruthless when it comes to stabbing someone with a knife. Just wait, it won't be long before the Second Hokage regrets choosing Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage."

"Why do you say that?"

"Father doesn't know yet, does he? Sarutobi Hiruzen has already ordered Senju Yukihei to be the Jonin squad leader. This is a fat job."

The Jonin Class is a system created by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Its function is to manage the increasing number of Jonin in the village. It is an idle job in peacetime, but it is a full-fledged and powerful job in wartime.

"Repeating the old trick?" Uchiha Shinichi was a little puzzled. After seeing the Uchiha clan suffer a loss, how could the Senju clan be so stupid to bite the bait?

Shaking his head, Fugaku said: "It's a conspiracy. The village will definitely not sit back and watch the Kingdom of Rain. Soon, the Thousand Hands clan will definitely become the main force to conquer the Kingdom of Rain. They can't refuse, and everything must be done for them during the war.

Give in to the war, or you will be criticized by the whole village."

"Tsk, tsk, you really shot yourself in the foot. I wonder if the Senju clan regrets it." Uchiha Shinichi said with gloating.

The Senju clan's calculations were very loud. When the village was first built, the first Hokage promised that everyone would take turns to sit in the position of Hokage. He was the first generation, Uchiha was the second generation. As for the third generation and beyond, everyone voted. But the first generation Hokage died.

Finally, the Senju clan did not fulfill their promise and let Uchiha sit on it, and the various ninja clans did not say anything. After all, the Uchiha family had a willful clan leader. But after the death of the second Hokage, everyone began to clamor for voting.

At that time, the jounin class system founded by Senju Tobirama was manipulated. The Senju clan got their wish and allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to sit on the throne of Hokage. Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was thought to be a good boy, failed to take the throne.

A few years later, he and a few of his friends strengthened the centralization of power and turned Konoha into their one-man country. The Senju clan, who had to grind their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, became a joke to everyone, and was scolded by the big guys whenever they met.

, I can’t express my sufferings, so I have to pretend to be good to you, me, and everyone, so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Looking away at his father who was secretly amused, Fugaku reminded: "Isn't this a good opportunity for the family and the Senju clan to join forces?"

"Huh?" Uchiha Shinichi narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

...........

Just as Uchiha Fugaku expected, a few days later, the Hokage's office unilaterally issued a document on the establishment of the Roots, which caused a great stir in the village. The elders of the Senju clan, who had been considering whether to join forces with Uchiha, met overnight.

Great Elder, for a time, an undercurrent surged, and many young ninjas who sensed an opportunity approached the Third Hokage to show their loyalty, hoping to get a share of the power reshuffle.

While the great masters in the village were making trouble, Hayama, who knew nothing, was practicing peacefully in the border camp. Strength determines status, and butt determines head. Now Hayama is still a small chuunin and is not qualified to sit on the gambling table.

At the table, place your bet.

What troubles Hayama is that without the boundaries of blood inheritance, his strength improves very slowly, which can be described as a turtle speed. Daily practice, except for making his physical skills more and more refined, failed to provide any help. Perhaps

, the limit of this body is the special jounin level, Hayama thought bitterly.

Thinking of the genius ninjas he met, Hayama certainly knew where the problem was. The strength of a ninja was determined by the techniques he mastered, and it would be difficult for a civilian ninja like Hayama to come into contact with powerful ninjas unless he had a good master.

Ninjutsu. He has a lot of chakra, but it's useless.

Hayama's desire for jutsu once again surged in his heart. He hoped that at the next secret gathering, he could obtain a powerful ninjutsu. But what he didn't know was that Todaka Ogata died in the Land of Rain, a civilian organization.

It has already existed in name only.

The days passed by Ye Shan's diligent training, and these ninjas who were defeated from the battlefield seemed to be forgotten and just stayed in the border camp.

Thirty-eight years of Konoha have become history in peace. Hayama finally received the transfer order. He will spend his new year in the Konoha Border Guard Force.

Regarding this transfer order, Hayama has no idea what the starting point of Konoha's high-level officials is. Now that the war is going on, the ninjas who are determined to take revenge and return to the Land of Rain are actually detained from patrolling. When did border patrols use elite combat troops?

?However, the transfer order was clearly written in black and white. The Konoha ninjas who did not want to be rebellious ninjas could only vent their anger on the mission. For a while, the unlucky smuggler actually disappeared and looked for traces at the border of the Land of Fire, which indirectly weakened the wind.

The country’s war readiness reserves.

Hayama is happy to be free. His daily life is patrolling - training, training - patrolling. He is not bored at all and is very fulfilling. As for Yamashiro Chen and Yamanaka Yura, although their days are a bit boring, they are better than being cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The relationship between the team has become more harmonious in ordinary life, the gap between family ninjas and civilian ninjas is dissipating, and everything is developing in a good direction. However, the distress in Hayama's heart is increasing day by day, and the thought of wanting to obtain ninjutsu makes him whole

Everyone was stunned, and their meals no longer tasted good.
