Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 105 Kirito and Uchiha

Led by Chizuru, Kirito enters the Uchiha clan's territory.

Unlike the quiet and deserted Senju clan territory, the Uchiha clan territory was a lively place.

In Konoha, the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly the number one ninja clan. This is not only because their overall strength is the best among all the ninja clans in Konoha, but also because they have the largest number of members among all the ninja clans in Konoha.

The reason why the Uchiha clan is so numerous is largely because the Second Hokage allowed the Uchiha clan to take over the Konoha police force, thus enabling the Uchiha clan to retreat from the front line and recuperate.

Furthermore, since the Third Hokage did not conscript many Uchiha clan ninjas to fight on the battlefield, the Uchiha clan's population naturally continued to grow.

Because the Uchiha clan is rather xenophobic, a small market has automatically formed within the vast Uchiha clan territory to meet the clan's material needs. The clan territory also has a small commercial street where you can find almost any shop or goods that are available outside.

Over the past few years, Kirito has visited the Uchiha clan's territory many times, and he's become quite familiar with the area.

However, even though he made several high-spending purchases here, he was still a good friend of Chizuru, the granddaughter of the Uchiha clan's eldest daughter. As he walked here, he could still feel the hostile or wary gazes from many Uchiha clan members at all times.

Kirito, however, was quite self-aware and didn't care.

Who told him to be Mito Uzumaki's prized disciple? He's still living in Nawaki's house. Even though he's just a kid, he's already branded with the Senju (Thousand Hands) mark.

The feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans could be discussed for three days and three nights without ending. Konoha has only been established for 32 years. In such a short time, how could the enmity between the two clans be resolved?

As he walked through Uchiha territory, many Uchiha people mistook him for a spy sent by the Senju clan and treated him with disdain. Some shops even deliberately refused to do business with him.

If it weren't for Chizuru protecting him, someone might have deliberately come to cause him trouble.

However, while the older generation of Uchiha disliked him, the younger generation might not.

People from the Uchiha clan are actually quite easy to get along with, but the prerequisite is that your fists are stronger than theirs. As long as you beat them into submission and gain their recognition of your strength, and then take a little initiative, you can easily gain their friendship.

A few months ago, Kirito, who was still in school, was the number one bully in the ninja academy, and he was invincible among his classmates.

In the ninja academy, Uchiha clan students are mostly troublemakers who love to challenge the strongest among their peers.

Kirito was often forced to engage in friendly sparring and exchanges with them during his school days.

After engaging in friendly sparring and exchanges with these young Uchiha clan members multiple times, and by bringing them loads of delicious sweets whenever he visited the Uchiha clan's territory, Kirito eventually became a close friend with them.

Therefore, he is quite popular among the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

Sure enough, just as Chizuru led him into the Uchiha clan's territory, a kid of similar age rushed over. Under the surprised or helpless gazes of the other older Uchiha, he greeted him and Chizuru warmly, loudly calling him Kirito-nii (older brother) and Chizuru-nii (older sister).

"It's the wind. It's been a while. How have you been? Have you learned the Wind Release chakra nature yet?"

Kirito looked at the black-haired child in front of him and greeted him with a smile.

Uchiha Fu, a junior apprentice Kirito took in during his school days, is 9 years old this year. He is a promising young member of the Uchiha clan. Although he has not yet awakened his Sharingan, he is already proficient in using several fire-style ninjutsu and is also very talented in ninja tool manipulation.

I've been diligently training my Wind Release chakra nature lately.

Because Uchiha Fu's family was of modest means, Kirito provided him with considerable material and experiential assistance during his training in Wind Release chakra nature.

Of course, he gave it to her in his own name and Chizuru's name.

"Thanks to the training methods given by Kirito and Chizuru, I have almost mastered the knack. I will definitely be able to master the Wind Release chakra nature before graduation."

Uchiha Fu answered with a grin, very satisfied with his recent training results.

"That's great! Keep up the good work. If you encounter any problems or difficulties, feel free to come to me or Chizuru."

Kirito encouraged him, patting Uchiha Fu on the shoulder.

"Ha, I'll keep trying, Kirito-nii."

Encouraged by Kirito, Uchiha Fu became incredibly excited, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline.

He was about to say something more to Kirito, but Chizuru, who was next to Kirito, suddenly snorted coldly. He immediately shrank back, wisely shut his mouth, gave Kirito a strange look, and left with a strange smile.

"You're still the same as always. This won't be good for you to take control of the Uchiha clan in the future. Even the strongest person needs helpers."

Kirito watched Uchiha Kaze leave quickly and said to Chizuru with a hint of helplessness.

Chizuru has the idea of ​​integrating the Uchiha clan into Konoha, and Kirito supports this. He then suggests that she first win over the younger generation of the Uchiha clan so as to build up enough resources to take control of the Uchiha clan in the future.

Chizuru agreed, but halfway through, she became a hands-off manager, leaving him to do the work by himself.

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me. That old man isn't the type to wait patiently."

Chizuru said nonchalantly, continuing to pull Kirito along at a brisk pace.

Soon, Kirito arrived at Chizuru's house.

It was a huge mansion, but it was very deserted.

Along the way, he didn't see anyone except Chizuru. If the yard and house hadn't been so clean, he would have thought that only Chizuru and her grandfather lived there.

"That person is inside. You can go in by yourself. I'm going to cultivate."

Chizuru led Kirito to a room in the living room, then decisively abandoned him.

Aren't you coming in with me?

Kirito was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Chizuru did not answer. She formed a hand seal, turned into white smoke, and disappeared from the spot.

It turned out to be another shadow clone.

"Since you're here, come in."

At that moment, an old and dignified voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing the sound, Kirito's expression turned serious, and he went inside alone.

This was his first time meeting alone with Uchiha Homura, the head of the Uchiha clan.

The door opened, and a stern old man who looked unapproachable appeared before Kirito's eyes.

Uchiha Homura was kneeling in front of a coffee table, drinking tea. When he saw Kirito come in, he gave Kirito a look, signaling him to sit down opposite him at the coffee table.

There was already a cushion there, and a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on the coffee table.

"I wonder what he wanted to see me about?"

Kirito had only met Uchiha Homura once, but for some reason, he immediately understood the meaning in the other's eyes. He obediently did as he was told, and then cautiously looked at the old man in front of him who was staring at him with a cold face, muttering to himself.

He had met this old man before during the incident of breaking the barrier. He was a very dignified clan leader who dared to confront the Third Hokage and Danzo.

At that time, Danzo could only swallow his anger and dare not confront him when faced with Danzo's harassment.

This shows that Uchiha Homura was extremely powerful, a true Kage-level shinobi, and someone Danzo greatly feared.

At this moment, his strength has increased further, and meeting him alone allows him to better understand his unfathomable power.

Especially his eyes; even without activating the Sharingan, just being looked at by him puts a great deal of pressure on you.

This clan chief had a rather strange temper. Even though the other party had called him over, after he sat down, he remained silent for a long time, just drinking his tea and staring at him with a cold face.

The way she looked at him made it seem like she really disliked him.

As expected, members of the Uchiha clan all acted abnormally after awakening the Sharingan, and the stronger they became, the more abnormal they became.

"Chief Yan, is there anything you need me for? If it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Time was precious, and seeing that the other person hadn't spoken for a long time, Kirito had no choice but to ask first.

"Is this all you've got? Kirito, you got a great deal out of me last time, is this all the sincerity you've shown?"

Uchiha Homura frowned slightly as she listened to Kirito's words.

In an instant, Kirito felt the pressure from Homura Uchiha's eyes increase dramatically.

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.
