Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 104 Uchiha and Konoha

After Uchiha Homura made his assurances and intimidated them, all the hawkish Uchiha Jonin dared not speak again. They all obediently lowered their heads and left, not daring to breathe.

"Hmph, a bunch of good-for-nothings. They still dare to go and demand an explanation from that old codger, the Third Generation. They've been living comfortably in the village for too long and don't know their place."

Uchiha Homura looked at the hawkish Uchiha Jonin who were now behaving like cowards and huddled together, and sneered inwardly.

At the same time, he was also worried about the growing hawkish faction within the Uchiha clan.

He wasn't against these hawkish Uchiha clan members' dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage's policies and the Uchiha's current status in the village; he was simply worried that these clan members were too foolish to choose the wrong methods to resist.

They stormed the Hokage Building, demanding an explanation from the Third Hokage.

Which idiot came up with such a stupid idea?

Why should the Uchiha clan have to act according to the Third Hokage's wishes? Since the Third Hokage doesn't trust the Uchiha clan, why should the Uchiha clan lower themselves to fawn over him and do something as foolish as offering a warm face to a cold backside?

So what if they're isolated? Ever since that person killed Hashirama Senju, the Uchiha clan has been isolated and feared for quite some time now.

But the Uchiha clan still managed to establish themselves in Konoha and grow stronger.

As long as the Uchiha clan is strong enough and no more fools like that person appear, the Uchiha clan's position in Konoha will remain as stable as ever.

Since the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan has been the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha. The Uchiha clan now accounts for at least a quarter of the overall strength of Konoha.

Once Konoha loses the Uchiha clan, it's tantamount to cutting off its own arm, immediately becoming the weakest of the five great ninja villages.

At that time, Konoha, which occupies the richest land in the ninja world, will surely be besieged by other ninja villages.

It has always been Konoha that needs the Uchiha, not the other way around.

Unfortunately, fewer and fewer Uchiha clan members are seeing this clearly now.

"Ninja Academy, that despicable guy Tobirama Senju, he finally succeeded. The cowardly Will of Fire has begun to erode the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, making them unconsciously inclined to protect Konoha rather than their clan."

At that moment, Uchiha Homura thought of Tobirama Senju and the ninja academy he founded, and felt a surge of resentment.

The reason why the Hokage lineage in Konoha began to grow stronger was precisely because of the Ninja Academy.

The Hokage lineage instills the so-called Will of Fire into young children at the Ninja Academy, deeply influencing them until they become their henchmen.

By the time the Uchiha clan and other Konoha clans realized what was happening, it was too late; the die was cast.

Unbeknownst to many, the power of the Hokage lineage has become the strongest force in Konoha. The rapidly growing and massive civilian ninja community is a staunch supporter of the Hokage lineage, and many young geniuses from various clans also aspire to join it.

At this point, it had become impossible for the various ninja clans of Konoha to destroy the Ninja Academy. They could only silently go with the flow, sending their best members to the Ninja Academy every year in an effort to secure a place within the powerful Hokage lineage.

Once upon a time, the Uchiha clan held a very high position in the Hokage lineage.

Unfortunately, everything changed after Uchiha Kagami's unexpected death. The Uchiha clan was never able to break into the inner circle again, and under the deliberate exclusion of those four despicable Tobirama disciples, they continued to drift away from the core of Konoha's power.

"This absolutely cannot continue; we must break the deadlock."

Uchiha Homura thought with a heavy heart.

As the clan leader, he had to work hard to ensure the Uchiha clan's continued survival in this world.

The next moment, he looked at the small figure still sitting in the corner of the room, then beckoned to her to come over.

Seeing her grandfather's gesture, Chizuru reluctantly walked over and coldly asked, "What?"

"Go find Kirito and bring him over. I need to talk to him."

Uchiha Homura commanded coldly.

Chizuru did not answer immediately, but instead activated her two-tomoe Sharingan and stared at Uchiha Homura.

"Your eye power is impressive, even stronger than a typical three-tomoe Sharingan. It seems that kid gave you quite a few good things. Don't worry, I'm just talking to that kid, I won't do anything to him. Besides, that kid is very cunning, he wouldn't come to me in person, would he?"

Uchiha Homura sneered.

Chizuru snorted coldly, then closed her Sharingan and turned to leave.

As Chizuru turned to leave, Homura Uchiha's face immediately showed a look of relief.

The seed of hope for breaking the deadlock has been found; the question now is whether it can grow successfully.

About half an hour later, Chizuru arrived at the orphanage and found Kirito's shadow clone busy in the laboratory underground.

"Is your grandfather looking for me?"

In the underground laboratory, Kirito said with a surprised look.

"That's right, I'm just here to deliver a message. Whether you go or not is up to you."

Chizuru said coldly, then looked around at the strange creatures soaking in the green solution, her eyes showing curiosity.

She had been to Kirito's lab a few times, but the last time she came was a year ago.

In just one year, this place has changed dramatically.

She remembered that when she last came here, the place was quite simple, with just a broken computer and a dozen or so glassware pillars. Now, not only has the space been greatly expanded and luxuriously renovated, but there are also a lot of new equipment, and the number of glassware pillars has increased to more than fifty.

This is only what she sees now. She discovers that there are other rooms connected to this place, and she estimates that there are many things she hasn't seen yet.

When did this guy become so rich?

She remembered this guy saying that working in biology is very expensive, and he was always worried about not having enough money.

She originally wanted to give him some financial assistance, but the guy was too proud and refused to ask her for money.

Finally, Chizuru's gaze fell upon a normally developed humanoid creature.

That was a person with very pale skin, whose face was eight parts similar to Kirito's, almost like Kirito a few years older.

This person's hair was red.

"I see. But since you've come all this way to see me, I can't refuse."

Kirito sighed upon hearing Chizuru's words.

He didn't say what it was about, nor did he say whether he should go or not. Given the traditionally arrogant personality of the Uchiha, it must be something important that he had to go.

However, he did owe Uchiha Homura a great favor, or more precisely, he owed Chizuru. Thanks to the list Chizuru provided him, he was able to so easily cause Danzo's Root organization a lot of trouble and vent his anger.

Since the other party asked Chizuru to come to him, he would go for Chizuru's sake.

"what ever."

Chizuru said coldly, but a smile appeared on her face.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
