Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

The Hokage's office area.

"This clan has produced another genius."

As he muttered to himself, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled a puff of smoke, and the Uchiha Duel Arena was projected onto the crystal ball in front of him.

The art of telescopes!

It is a very rare reconnaissance skill in the ninja world, which can obtain real-time dynamics without being at the scene of the target, effectively avoiding the limitations of physical space, and the monitoring accuracy can reach the level of individual behavior observation...

Even though Jiraiya had repeatedly sent messages expressing his strong interest, saying that he needed this technique to gather intelligence for Konoha while traveling, Hiruzen still didn't dare to teach it to his eccentric disciple.

Because once he learns it, he'll definitely use it to spy on women's bathhouses or women's restrooms.

immoral.

Disgracing Konoha.

If someone were to spy on the nobles' women and get caught, it would be very troublesome to deal with, and the daimyo might even have to send someone to investigate.

The original reason for developing this ninjutsu was simply to monitor the daily life of Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Itachi, Shisui."

Sarutobi gazed at the excessively youthful face from afar, his feelings a mixture of emotions: "Now there's another Uchiha Shu."

Once upon a time, Konoha Village was a gathering place for many masters.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru are all young people with Kage-level strength, and they are all from our own family.

Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang, goes without saying. His strength surpasses that of the Sannin, and he possesses the insight to see through the potential of others!

Fourth generation Minato Namikaze.

The stable Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Kushina.

……

At that time, we were not afraid of the Uchiha rising up at all; on the contrary, we were happy about it because we were not afraid of rebellion. Even in the most extreme situation, we could completely suppress it and make them fight for the benefit of the village!

They even continued the tradition left by the Second Hokage, incorporating that child named Uchiha Obito into the Hokage master-disciple succession system.

"Why can't the Uchiha clan do what the Senju clan did? Disband the clan, abandon the surname, and instead try to control all the appointment power of the security forces."

"The battle at the Valley of the End and the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox are both directly related to you."

"Since the beginning of this year, radicals have been meeting privately more frequently, no longer satisfied with the status quo."

What will our Konoha Village eventually become?

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi hunched over even more.

"Hiruzen, hand that brat Uchiha Shu over to Root." A voice suddenly came from the corner.

Sarutobi squinted, straightened his back again, and swept his old face, with a pipe in his mouth, over.

He was his old comrade-in-arms.

A guy whose head was half-bound with bandages.

"I've checked. This kid isn't a radical. I've planted the seed of 'speaking evil' to make him obediently serve the village."

"Danzo, you're not allowed to act on your own!"

"Hmph, the Uchiha are inherently evil." Danzo sneered, approaching and saying, "I've always been doing this for Konoha, but you've been in this position for too long and have become naive. Besides, Itachi joined the Anbu, now it's Root's turn..."

With a stern tone, the Third Hokage tightened his grip on his pipe, warning, "Stop talking!"

"As the Hokage, I have the final say in everything. Remember... Root will always be the root of Konoha, not yours."

"I will find a way to assess this child. If he passes, I will go through a special promotion process to recruit him into the Anbu and appoint him as a squad leader, sending a more positive signal to Fugaku and the moderates in the Uchiha clan."

Squinting, Shimura Danzo, confirming his old partner's unwavering stance, said coldly:

"Monkey, you'll regret this!"

The figure vanished in an instant.

It was as if it had suddenly appeared.

In the now quiet office, Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and casually deactivated the telescope technique.

The large glass ball on the table immediately returned to normal.

As the Hokage, he's not so idle as to spend all his time monitoring a young Uchiha!

Moreover, its use is subject to numerous limitations; in most scenarios, it can only monitor locations that are in the open or where powerful chakra fluctuations are emitted.

Otherwise... how could that mysterious masked man have succeeded on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Duel arena.

Uchiha Shu breathed a sigh of relief. During the battle with the elder, he suddenly felt like he was being spied on from a distance.

The line of sight does not come from the surrounding area.

It's highly likely that it's the third generation; he's using that crystal ball in the office to spy on people.

After all, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in the Uchiha clan's territory, which was like a powder keg. There was no reason for Fugaku not to get involved—not sending in any ANBU to investigate was already a big favor to Fugaku.

"It's not a big problem. It turns out that my perception can detect it immediately, so it won't affect the plan."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

One after another, figures leaped down from the high wall.

"Xiu, you must attend the clan meeting next week."

The middle-aged man, dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit, spoke in a commanding tone. Over this suit, he wore green chainmail, the kind only Jonin could wear, with the Uchiha clan crest embroidered on his shoulders.

"That's right, you need to recognize the current situation of our race and join us."

"Stop being foolish! Compromise and weakness will only embolden the Konoha leadership to further suppress the Uchiha!"

Two more Jonin joined in to chime in.

Uchiha Hachimoku, Uchiha Inahisa, and Uchiha Tetsuka were the mainstays of the radical faction.

The so-called clan gathering is merely a name; in essence, it is a place for radicals to vent their emotions.

"Ahem, our family has two ultimate eye techniques, each of which requires the sacrifice of an eye. Therefore, they cannot be practiced by others. The principles are also very complex and are only preserved in the secret scrolls passed down through generations."

Suddenly, an elderly man with a cane parted the crowd.

Compared to dry persuasion, Uchiha Setsuna was more experienced and directly offered benefits.

"..." Clan Chief Fugaku couldn't help but frown.

Izanagi can turn unfavorable events that occur within a certain period of time into things that never happened, and only turn favorable events into reality. The activation time varies depending on each person's ability.

During this time, even death can alter reality; it is a terrifying eye technique that can make one invincible!

Izanami is the opposite.

Let alone mastering it, there are very few people qualified to learn it.

Even seasoned Jonin like Inahashi and Tetsuka, who had made significant contributions in battle, had no right to touch them, and were not even aware of their existence.

In order to win over Xiu, Elder Setsuna, the key figure of the hawkish faction, has chosen to break the rules...

They didn't even ask for the opinion of the clan leader!

"Go," Elder Xin, representing the moderate faction, said slowly. "You should attend the clan meeting. I will always support you."

Based on his understanding of Uchiha Shu, this kid was very opinionated and not so easily brainwashed.

Moreover, the strong should have more say.

Compromise and forbearance... are they really not going to work?

I think this kid, Xiu, might be an excellent candidate to become Hokage!

Why not take a chance for the future of the family?

"it is good."

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Uchiha Shu nodded and accepted the invitation from the hawks.

He'd rather be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, and he felt no remorse whatsoever for squandering the family's gold coins.

In the crowd, Zhi Shui stood with a serious expression.

You, who once privately approached me to seriously discuss the future of the Uchiha clan, did you succumb to temptation for personal gain? Have you become narrow-minded?

The mysterious ultimate eye technique the elder spoke of is nothing compared to my Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Everyone else is drunk but I am sober" perfectly describes Uchiha Shisui. He thought himself very clever, able to navigate between the village and his clan, balancing both sides...
