Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

……

The group cursed and swore for a while.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with his pipe, signaling the three to quiet down, then tried to suppress his anger as he said:

"Alright, alright, now let's talk about what to do?"

Ren Xiong's influence was still strong at this moment, and as soon as he spoke, the other three immediately fell silent.

"I do have a trick, but it's a bit underhanded."

"Don't keep me in suspense. Speak."

Mitokado Yan pushed up his glasses and said:

"Although Uehara Shinmei seems to be gaining popularity, with even strong figures like Sakumo Hatake and Torifu frequently expressing goodwill, and the Sannin also declaring their support,..."

However, he has a fatal flaw: he is too young, comes from an exceptionally poor background, and does not have his own team.

In contrast, the Uchiha clan possessed sufficient strength, but were hampered by their tarnished reputation and the lack of exceptionally powerful individuals capable of shouldering the burden.

The truly terrifying thing is actually the combination of the two.

If the Uchiha clan unites as one, and if Uehara Shimei develops her own faction, then the situation will truly become dire.

Therefore, breaking this deadlock isn't difficult; we just need to start by understanding the relationship between the two.

"Uchiha Mikoto?"

Koharu Utatane immediately exclaimed in surprise, as if she had just realized something, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes also lit up.

Water Portal Flame then gave an approving look and said excitedly:

"That's right, it's Uchiha Mikoto."

That Uehara Siming is incredibly stupid. In terms of talent, intelligence, and even cunning, he's arguably the best of his generation.

Even we were deceived by his initial act of brute force.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, he is completely unclear and utterly confused.

The Nine-Tails and the Uchiha clan—either one could be a tremendous asset.

Greed knows no bounds; even after successfully capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he was still not satisfied and dared to try and take the granddaughter of the Uchiha Elder.

If Mikoto Uchiha hadn't grown up, that would be one thing, but she's now Crimson Storm, and given her special status...

Even the position of clan leader is not uncompetitive.

Do you think the Uchiha clan members would willingly exist as someone else's concubine or even mistress?

Could they endure such a humiliating disgrace? Could they remain rational when ridiculed and mocked by the entire village?

Such a huge weakness, given their arrogant and easily triggered personalities,

"Perhaps with just a little provocation, we won't even need to lift a finger to handle the rest?"

The atmosphere in the office became noticeably more relaxed after Mitokado Emi said those words.

This is killing two birds with one stone, no, it's killing three birds with one stone!

This weakened the Uchiha clan, damaged Uehara Shimei's reputation, and severed any possibility of them uniting.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said leisurely,

"If only the Uchiha clan could fight Uehara Shimei."

"Leave it to me. I have pawns in the Uchiha clan."

Danzo slammed his right cane against the ground with a loud thud.

His expression also became excited.

Nothing is more satisfying than crushing a potential Hokage candidate.

If so, it's aimed at the Uchiha clan.

If there is another one, it means that the two are combined into one thing.

Chapter 93 Hiruzen Sarutobi, You Have Already Seeked Your Own Path to Death

A rumor suddenly began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Konoha.

The comment wasn't accurate; it should be described as a discussion, or more precisely, a simple mockery of a certain family.

And it was a sudden, collective mockery.

Even after the enraged Uchiha killed several people in the street, the taunts showed no sign of stopping.

On the contrary, it got worse.

"I don't know what the Uchiha were thinking. She's the granddaughter of the Grand Elder, with a good status and strength."

He also calls himself Storm Crimson, an elite Jonin.

She actually went so far as to become someone's concubine. I just can't understand it. Maybe those important figures just have eccentricities that are hard for ordinary people to comprehend.

"The Uchiha are just despicable."

"Hahaha, what number one family? That's hilarious! Even a commoner ninja wouldn't be this shameless!"

"The Uchiha clan is a spineless, cowardly clan."

They seem arrogant and domineering, but they immediately wilted when they encountered a truly strong opponent.

They've been pissed on by someone riding on their necks, and they haven't even reacted. Even a coward would be better than them.

"The Uchiha clan is so desperate to become Hokage that they actually gave away their clan's genius beauty as a concubine to curry favor with someone else. Tsk tsk tsk, in two words, awesome."

"So what if they're from a wealthy family? So what if they're from the Uchiha clan? Uehara Shinmei makes them act like dogs, and they have to obediently wag their tails."

"I'm telling you this secretly, but whatever you do, don't tell anyone else."

Do you know where Uchiha Mikoto got her nickname "Crimson Storm" and her terrifying blood flames?

It wasn't developed by her own person at all; it was acquired through shady transactions.

Otherwise, do you really think someone of that level of strength would willingly do *that*? Actually, without Uehara Siming, she's nothing.

……

A terrifying wave of public opinion surged up instantly and reached its peak.

Before the Uchiha could even react, they were completely engulfed.

Ninja, commoner

Village, family

Streets and alleys

Every place, every person I met

There was talk of it everywhere, and the more Uchiha people were nearby, the more enthusiastic the discussion became.

The once prestigious and powerful family suddenly seemed to have become utterly despicable, incurring the wrath of both heaven and man.

Along with him, the rising star genius who had just made great contributions in World War II and was being talked about throughout the ninja world...

At only fifteen years old, he was known as the Golden Flash.

Aside from White Fang, Uehara Shinmei is the only one who was allowed to immediately abandon the mission after meeting him.

It also received a lot of criticism, and its popularity began to decline sharply.

"Putting the facts aside, is he really without any problems at all?"

"So what if he did good deeds for the village and shed blood for Konoha? Didn't the Sannin do good deeds? They didn't do what he did."

"Uehara Shimei is known as the Golden Flash, representing the face of Konoha."

He himself made a small mistake, which is insignificant, but to damage the village's reputation is absolutely unforgivable.

"What's wrong with being a genius? Geniuses should be even more self-disciplined."

……

They say to strike a snake at its seven-inch mark.

Although it was an unexpected stroke of luck, F4's move hit Uehara Siming squarely where it hurt.

And he put all his strength into it, delivering a precise and powerful punch.

He doesn't really care about many things.

Because of the system, as time goes by, one's strength can increase almost without limit.

Most problems will eventually be solved when faced with a fist bigger than a sandbag.

Regardless of how social structures change or what patterns of thought emerge,

There is an eternal and unchanging rule that runs through all worlds and all civilizations: might makes right.

Whether it's wealth or power, as long as you have enough power, it will immediately become your due.

In Uehara Siming's view, it didn't matter whether the F4 withheld his credit or prevented him from exchanging for special ninjutsu.

But his reputation, and his relationships with everyone he's connected to, are the bottom line he absolutely cannot cross.

none of them.

Because this is the limitation of his cheat system, he needs to improve his potential and strength in this way.

Having a terrible reputation will make it more difficult to establish new bonds.

However, since existing bonds exist, it's unknown whether the rewards already distributed will be revoked or disappear if they are severed.

But anyone with a modicum of common sense would never consider gambling.

After all, he had received so much from the system, and it was so powerful that he would be heartbroken to the point of madness if he lost any of it.
