Gen Uchiha was quite curious about the other young man the elder had mentioned.

"Yes, that young man is eight years older than you. He also realized that his family would have conflicts with the village in the future and that it would need to be suppressed. However, his background is better than yours, so I am not surprised that he has performed like that."

"Then he is...?"

"He is Fugaku, the clan chief's son, and he is already the captain of the police force. His position in the clan is second only to the clan chief and a few elders."

That's fine.

Gen Uchiha immediately lost interest.

Fugaku may indeed have good judgment, but his abilities are questionable.

Judging from his actions in the original timeline, he was neither a competent clan leader nor a qualified father, having raised his son to such an extent and led a powerful ninja clan to its demise.

The elder continued.

"Fugaku believed that although the clan was powerful, it was far less powerful than the village. If the two sides had a conflict, or even if it escalated into a war, it could very likely lead to the decline of the clan and even its eventual collapse."

And you, too, believe that this will lead to disaster.

In conclusion, we are all pessimistic about the future of our family.

I don't know what the future holds, but I know what the higher-ups in Konoha want.

What they want is to turn the Uchiha into a sword that won't hurt them, an obedient hunting dog. Because their strength is far inferior to the First Hokage, and their magnanimity and wisdom are far inferior to the Second Hokage, they will definitely weaken the Uchiha and suppress them in every way, so that they will eventually become like Inuzuka and Aburame.

However, the Uchiha are not people who only know how to accept suppression and not know how to resist, and we will not allow the glory of the clan to fade in our hands.

As the founding clan of Konoha and the most powerful ninja clan in the village, we must strive for a status and power commensurate with our clan's strength, which is something that the current leadership of the village absolutely cannot accept.

However… the family's power isn't that great; at least, I don't believe the family currently has the ability to acquire these things.

The elder sighed heavily.

He was of the same generation as the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, only slightly younger than them, and roughly the same age as Tobirama Senju, who had already died in battle.

His extensive experience from the Warring States period made him realize that the future prospects of his family were not optimistic.

Especially after Madara left, although the Uchiha clan still seemed powerful, they no longer had a top-tier expert who could keep the situation in check.

Without the Mangekyou Sharingan and without a Kage-level wielder, the Uchiha clan's fate was sealed.

Even if such a master were to emerge, it would be impossible for a single person to contend against the Konoha leadership group, which possesses multiple top-tier talents.

Therefore, he needs to cultivate as many strong individuals as possible for the family, with sufficient strength, vision, and wisdom, to change everything in the future.

Even if he said he only had a few years left to live and was destined not to see that future.

Uchiha Gen continued forward, following in the footsteps of the First Elder.

Will the Uchiha clan be transformed into a ninja clan on par with Inuzuka and Aburame?

Perhaps the other high-ranking officials besides Danzo did think this way, but they overestimated themselves and underestimated the depravity of certain beasts.

"We've arrived."

The elder stopped and led Uchiha Gen to a simple and ancient-looking pavilion.

A middle-aged man with a missing arm was sitting on a stone bench in front of the attic reading a book. Hearing the voice of the person who came, he hurriedly got up. When he saw that it was the elder, he took out the key.

"Elder, you've brought another genius from the clan to choose ninjutsu? You seem quite satisfied."

The First Elder, Uchiha Gen, chuckled.

"This child is named Yuan. I believe that he will bring a future to the family, just like that boy Fugaku."

"To receive such praise from you, this young man must be quite capable."

The middle-aged Uchiha took out a key from his pocket and opened the attic door.

Gen Uchiha followed the elder into the room, while Mikoto Uchiha stayed outside, talking to a middle-aged Uchiha man. From their conversation, it was clear that he was one of her cousins.

"This is part of the clan's storehouse. The first floor contains relatively simple techniques, the second floor contains ninjutsu that do not involve nature transformation, the third and fourth floors contain eye techniques and training skills related to the Sharingan, and from the fifth floor onwards, there are powerful techniques at the level of three tomoe and Jonin."

With a family tradition spanning a thousand years and the Sharingan capable of copying ninjutsu, the family possesses almost every mainstream ninjutsu of every attribute in the ninja world. They also have countless techniques summarized by their predecessors that are most suitable for the Uchiha clan, ensuring there's plenty for you to choose from.

I can make the decision that all the ninjutsu on the first and second floors will be available to you, and once you awaken your Sharingan, the same will be true for the third and fourth floors.

However, I must remind you, don't try to learn too many difficult ninjutsu techniques right away. What you need to do now is develop your own basic combat system.

Uchiha Gen asked the Grand Elder:

"Elder, could you give me some recommendations?"

Although this person is old, he is still a Jonin Uchiha with three-tomoe Sharingan. He is knowledgeable and experienced. Rather than choosing for yourself, it is better to ask for his opinion.

"it is good."

A few hours later.

Gen Uchiha carried a small package and returned home.

This is a five-story building, about 100 square meters in size.

It is said that when Konoha was first established, Hashirama Senju built it with a simple clap of his hands, and it was later assigned to his grandfather.

Most of the houses in this area came from this. Although there were definitely some interior modifications made according to the original owner's wishes, it was meaningless. This house was indeed built by the First Hokage using Wood Release, making it extremely historically significant.

After returning home, Uchiha Gen quickly ate the bowl of ramen he had packed on his way back, then took a quick shower to wash away his fatigue before carrying a box to the table.

Inside the cardboard box were several ninjutsu scrolls and training notes, with ninjutsu techniques that had just been selected from the clan's storehouse that afternoon placed next to them.

"For me now, ninjutsu is not a weakness, although there is still much room for improvement. But as the elder said, I need to start now to develop a basic combat system to deal with all the problems I will face in actual combat."

"In terms of burst damage, I'm currently quite capable. My proficiency with the Great Fireball Technique has increased, which has also deepened my understanding of Fire Release techniques. I've also mastered C-rank Fire Release techniques like Phoenix Flower and Dragon Fire Technique. Although their power is not as great as the Great Fireball Technique, at least I have more options in battle."

Therefore, in terms of ninjutsu, all I really need to do right now is try learning more Wind Release ninjutsu. This will not only help me avoid being countered and increase my attack range, but also allow me to combine it with Fire Release to amplify its power.
