Naruto: In the name of the Senju, he made the ninja world tremble.
Chapter 31 Insufficient to Maintain the Status Quo, Unable to Break the Stalemate
"Master Kurusuke of the Uchiha clan is a famous master craftsman who makes ninja tools. When he was young, he made ninja tools for the Second Hokage. Now that he is getting older, he occasionally makes some ninja tools for the clan."
Because the mission rewards were distributed in advance, the two of them made arrangements with Master Genma to have dinner together that evening before heading to the Uchiha clan's territory.
Although she had sent Yue home once in the last six months, she had only stayed outside the gate. Now that she was inside, Chiba realized just how much patience Uchiha Fugaku had.
Walking on the broken cobblestone street, seeing the worry in the eyes of the Uchiha clan members around him, and noticing that Chiyu was not wearing the clan crest, a look of wariness instantly appeared in their eyes.
These people were all ordinary members of the Uchiha clan, many of whom were not ninjas. The fact that they showed such wariness towards me shows how they would be treated once they left the clan's territory.
They are both villagers of Konoha, but they seem like strangers from two different worlds. All of this stems from the mass migration of their clans over the past six months.
No matter how high-sounding the reasons the Third Hokage used, it is an indisputable fact that the Uchiha clan was relegated to the most remote part of the village, far from the village center.
What? You don't want to move? No problem. Danzo was very familiar with this. Do you remember how White Fang died?
Gossip is a fearsome thing. From the moment you step out the door, you have to face the discussions of others. Over time, even the best person will inevitably become depressed and eventually have no choice but to submit to the village's orders.
In all of this, Fugaku Uchiha's role was almost negligible, a fact that Chiba learned from Granny Momoka.
Granny Momoka offered her assessment of the current Uchiha clan leader.
"Inadequate at maintaining the status quo, and powerless to break the deadlock!"
This was the only time Qianyu heard Granny Taohua speak of the Ninja Clan Chief's evaluation, and it was indeed not high.
Despite the scrutinizing gazes around her, Chiyu remained calm, but Uchiha Tsuki, standing beside her, was filled with regret, thinking that perhaps she shouldn't have brought Chiyu here.
With this feeling of guilt, she revealed her Sharingan in public. In the eyes of others, being able to awaken the Sharingan at the age of 13 was quite an achievement.
At that moment, a hand gently brushed her forehead, partially obscuring her eyes, and Qianyu looked at her with a smile.
"Come on, Yue, I'm curious about the ninja tool maker you mentioned. Don't forget, we still need to meet up with Iruka for dinner later."
Sensing the deep meaning in Chiba's eyes, Uchiha Tsuki took a breath, calmed his mind, and the slight redness in his eyes subsided. Then, he smiled and nodded, and the two hurried towards the end of the street.
Watching Uchiha Tsuki and Chiba's departing figures, the Uchiha clan members behind them couldn't help but murmur among themselves. It should be noted that the father of the two Uchiha sisters was not a member of the Uchiha clan and had lived outside the clan's territory in his early years.
Therefore, the two sisters and the Uchiha clan had some innate estrangement.
At the edge of the Uchiha clan's territory, in a dilapidated house, a huge weapon rack occupied two-thirds of the room, neatly arranged with ninja tools.
Chiyu gently picked up a kunai, flicked it with her fingers, and a long, metallic sound rang out, confirming its extraordinary quality.
Just as he was scanning the ninja tools around him, Uchiha Tsuki walked towards the room behind the counter, and then her somewhat respectful voice came from behind, clearly indicating that the other party was no ordinary person.
"Moon Girl, stop fooling around. Recently, the clan's ninja tools have been used up quite a bit. The ninja tools provided by those guys in the village are all ordinary ones. These things can only be provided to the clan elders and elites for the time being."
The rough voice indicated that the speaker was straightforward. Considering that the other person had used ninja tools for the Second Hokage, Chiba admired that the other person was still full of energy despite his age.
Thinking of this, heavy footsteps sounded from behind the counter. The door opened, and an elderly man with gray hair walked out from behind, followed by Uchiha Yue, who kept smiling obsequiously.
The old man waved his hand impatiently, "Moon girl, even if you give up the chance to advance your Rain Slicer, it's not allowed. Not a single item in here can be sold. I am now the blacksmith of the Uchiha clan."
"Wasn't it years ago, helping the second... uh... the second generation?"
This was the first time Uchiha Kousuke had learned that the Sharingan could also cause presbyopia; otherwise, why would the Second Hokage appear before him?
Although it may sound a bit sentimental, every time Chiba received preferential treatment because of her resemblance to the Second Hokage, she felt deeply grateful to Tobirama Senju.
However, at this time, Chiba felt even more clearly the gap in governing ability between the third and second generation leaders.
In terms of wariness towards the Uchiha clan, the Second Hokage was far superior to the Third Hokage. However, apart from a few stubborn individuals, the rest of the Uchiha clan did not harbor much hatred towards the Second Hokage.
In contrast, the Third Hokage, along with Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, devised a method to exterminate the entire clan—a truly low-level tactic.
This made the other ninja villages extremely happy.
Seeing that Uchiha Kuranosuke was still looking at her with some doubt even after Yue's explanation, Chiba knew that her ninja tools were safe.
Just as Chiba was selecting ninja tools, in the heart of the Uchiha clan, in the mansion reserved for the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku was deep in thought, looking at the photograph in his hand.
That was a photo of Chiba and Uchiha Tsuki entering the Uchiha clan's territory side by side. In such turbulent times, any outsider who stepped into the Uchiha clan's land would be recorded.
However, this time someone noticed the problem with Chiba's appearance, so they quickly handed over all the information they could get to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Just by looking at him, you can tell where he's from. He even teamed up with our Uchiha clan members to complete missions. Why didn't they report this sooner?!"
Suppressing his anger, Fugaku Uchiha opened his three-tomoe Sharingan and coldly stared down at the person below until the other person was trembling uncontrollably before withdrawing the three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Investigate the other party's identity, upbringing, and other relevant information as quickly as possible, and tell the family's intelligence agents that we are not isolated from the world. I don't want this to happen again."
After severely reprimanding his subordinates, the other party retreated tremblingly at Fugaku Uchiha's wave. The Sharingan has a strict hierarchy, and it is even more oppressive when facing a higher-level tomoe.
After his anger subsided, Fugaku Uchiha looked at the photo in his hand, a hint of apprehension flashing across his face. This was the oppressive feeling left in his heart by the Second Hokage.
When he was a boy, he met Tobirama Senju in the Uchiha clan with his father. Tobirama walked into the Uchiha clan meeting room alone and sat down, but no one dared to object.
No, Uchiha Setsuna had objections. The rebellion was plotted in the morning, and he was knocked unconscious by Senju Tobirama in the afternoon, but no one around dared to say a word of dissent.
If he could, he really wouldn't want to see a second Tobirama Senju rise to power.
