Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 40 A New Mission (Please continue reading)

The clan meeting ended unhappily, as expected.

Uchiha Setsuna refused to compromise, while Uchiha Fugaku had his own plans.

The most interesting thing is that those who were considered doves, without exception, sided with Fugaku Uchiha.

This gave Fugaku Uchiha the confidence to push this matter forward, and one can imagine how ugly Setsuna Uchiha's expression must have been.

However, Yuzhi wasn't really surprised by the choices made by the doves.

In fact, this group of people, like the hawks, are all thinking about seeking a future for their families in their own way.

However, their logic is to advance through peaceful, negotiated means rather than violent ones.

When necessary, some trade-offs can be made to speed up the process, such as Kakashi's Sharingan this time.

Although they were unwilling to let their power flow out, they were willing to use this eye as leverage to gain a good reputation for the Uchiha clan.

And if we put in a little more effort to get Fugaku Uchiha to become Hokage, then that wouldn't be such a bad thing!

To be honest, their idea was not wrong, but how could Fugaku Uchiha possibly have a chance?

The current political system of Konoha can basically be seen as a large-scale coalition of the Second Hokage's system, with all four of Konoha's greatest figures being his disciples!

Although they dared not do what the Second Hokage did and directly appoint the next Hokage, did they have the ability to provide talent?

After all, if everyone in line for a position is one of their own, what difference does it make who gets appointed?

"Furthermore, doves keep thinking about non-violent methods, but how can true peace be achieved without struggle?"

Yu Zhi couldn't help but shake his head, but he became even more determined to get rid of all these upper-class family members.

Whether they are hawks or doves, they all believe they are the best, and today Yuzhi has finally seen that.

"However, this clan gathering was very fruitful; everyone participated, which made the performance much better."

Good shows need time to develop, especially now is not the right time, and besides, Yuzhi herself is not ready to take on any roles.

After all, his strength is not yet impressive enough, but fortunately, Fugaku Uchiha always seems to be able to provide assistance to everyone at crucial moments.

Perhaps he couldn't stand the current environment within the clan, or perhaps he wanted to earn some merit, so this guy took his eldest son and went straight to the Land of Grass!

The war in the Land of Grass has ended, and the two sides have begun to slowly start negotiations, but this does not mean that the conflict will stop.

Or rather, neither side is stupid; both know that to get more out of the negotiation table, they must demonstrate their strength.

But this has little to do with Yuzhi for the time being. After the clan meeting ended, he was doing quite well without any problems.

Every day, he would either try to comfort Uchiha Hikari, take her out for walks, or have her spar with Guy and Kakashi.

Guy and Kakashi are relatively free now, and since they have a very good relationship, they often come to see Yui whenever they have free time.

Hikari, on the other hand, prefers to watch them spar with each other, but she always keeps to herself.

On the one hand, they didn't want to be exposed, and on the other hand, they were unwilling to communicate with others.

Thump, thump, thump—

In a forest not far from the Uchiha clan, two figures swiftly crossed paths and clashed.

The next moment, a figure was kicked hard for a moment because he was a little slow, and then he fell to the ground.

"I lost."

Kakashi rubbed his stomach and looked at the stopped Hagoromo in front of him, and said helplessly.

He's really feeling helpless right now; he hasn't won a single match against Yuzhi in this period of time!

Although he already knew how exaggerated the haori was back in the Land of Grass.

That kind of dance-like physical skill was something he simply couldn't learn, but he himself wasn't sure just how powerful that skill was.

During this period, he truly experienced what it felt like to be in despair.

No matter how hard you try or how much you fight, you can't hit anyone, but your opponent can instantly seize your weakness and deliver a fatal blow.

Anyone would be bewildered in this situation.

"Are you alright, Kakashi?"

Yuzhi walked over with a smile, extended his hand to Kakashi, and then smiled.

"fine."

Kakashi used the haori's hand to stand up again, but he quickly sighed.

"You're really something. It feels like you can see right through my every move."

Although I could see some things, they weren't clear, and that feeling was really awful.

What's that compared to what Uchiha Hikaru taught me? He taught me a much harsher lesson.

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Hagoromo couldn't help but inwardly retort.

Haori knew that the eyes of light were kaleidoscopes, so he was naturally very curious about the power of the kaleidoscopes.

Of course, he didn't foolishly ask others what their eyes actually were.

Putting aside the fact that this is someone else's secret, the fact that he received the "pupil technique transplant" last time made him suspect that this girl might have had her pupil technique forcibly transplanted.

Moreover, given her previous description of "inhuman torture," it's unlikely to be a pleasant memory, so Yuzhi naturally wouldn't reopen someone else's wounds.

Moreover, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is not just a manifestation of eye techniques; as far as he knows, these eyes are superior to the Sharingan in every aspect.

Yuzhi was naturally curious about its strength, so he specifically challenged Hikaru to a duel, and the result speaks for itself.

"You're just not used to these eyes yet. Things will get better once you get used to them."

Although he was inwardly complaining, he still offered Kakashi some words of comfort on the surface.

"I'm still not used to it, especially since this eye consumes so much chakra."

Kakashi sighed helplessly; the consumption of the Sharingan was indeed beyond his expectations.

He actually had quite a bit of chakra, but after acquiring this eye, he discovered that his chakra simply couldn't keep up.

"After all, you are from another race, which is not surprising."

Yuri stroked his chin, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, I remember you used to use a knife, so I haven't seen you use one lately?"

"A knife?"

Kakashi was taken aback by Haori's question for a moment before shrugging.

"It's under repair and will take a few more days, but I think it will be ready in time for the mission."

Hearing Kakashi's words, it was Haori's turn to be stunned for a moment.

He thought Kakashi would say something like he wasn't going to use a sword anymore, since Kakashi's fighting style in the original work was very Uchiha-like.

Perhaps in Kakashi's mind, Obito died because of him, and he was carrying Obito's eyes.

Therefore, he longed to make the most of Obito's eye as a way to comfort Obito.

As a result, this guy's fighting style became to first use ninjutsu to probe the enemy, and then use the Sharingan's insight combined with Chidori to kill the enemy.

Now, however, he seems to be taking the initiative to use the knife, a change that Yuzhi finds particularly intriguing.

I wonder what Obito would think if he knew?

"Hey, you just mentioned a mission?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi realized what was happening and looked at Kakashi with a curious expression.

"Yes, I'm going to the Land of Grass in a few days. I heard that people from Kirigakure are wandering around and might try to sabotage the negotiations."

Kakashi nodded, then looked at Haori with some surprise.

"Didn't you know? Your name is on the list for this mission too."

"Yeah?"

Yuzhi frowned. He really didn't know about this, because no one had informed him yet.

However, listening to Kakashi's story, he knew that Madara's big show was about to begin!

Just then, the system in his mind suddenly activated.
