I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 92 Actually, I am... Uchiha Tobirama?

The old man, Uchiha Shin'in, proudly boasted to Uchiha Yuichiro, "Haha, according to Yu-chan, this is something I've never seen before in my life."

Elder Yuichiro rubbed his forehead in relief and said, "I knew it! Why did the genin I arranged suddenly cut off contact and abandon me, an elder, without any mercy..."

"Six Sharingan in one night? I would have betrayed them on the spot if I were in their shoes."

The old man, Xin Yin, asked jokingly, "Now you don't blame me for driving your people away, do you?"

Uchiha Yuichiro waved his hands repeatedly, agreeing, "You did the right thing. This matter is too important to spread information about casually."

"The genin of the study group... haha, you're overthinking it. They are absolutely loyal to Uchiha Yu now. That kid is even more meticulous than me. I don't need to worry about him."

"Hahaha, the future of the Uchiha clan..."

After a long while, Uchiha Yuichiro finally calmed down. He looked at Uchiha Shin'in and asked, "Uncle Shin'in, besides reporting this important matter, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Uchiha Shin'in nodded: "Uchiha Yu wants to be the clan leader, and I'm here to persuade you to support him."

"Haven't you always supported Kagami? Lately, you've been placing your hopes on Shisui, changing your target?"

"Shisui is too young. Uchiha Yu should serve for ten years first, and then hand over the position to Shisui. This way, the succession of the Uchiha clan's headship will be stable, with the strongest person taking the position instead of father to son."

"On this point, I agree with you. Moreover, given that Uchiha Yu has brought such great benefits to the clan, it's only natural that Fugaku would become the clan head when he gets old. I shouldn't need to support him, right?"

"He wants to become the clan chief within three years."

"Three years? How is that possible? That's way too fast!!"

"Therefore, your strong support is needed."

"But what's the use of my support? The new clan leader needs to be stronger than Fugaku, or at least on the same level. He..."

Uchiha Yuichiro's eyes widened, and suddenly, as if struck by a sudden realization, he stammered, "He's only eighteen years old, could he have awakened already?"

"No, I don't have the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, that's why it will take three years."

"Hahaha, even if he doesn't have it now, he's really talking big. This kid is very confident, very good."

"Just give us your opinion."

"Support him? Of course I support him. I've disliked Fugaku for a long time."

"But Uncle, our support alone isn't enough. Even if all the kids in the study group awaken their Sharingan, it's still not enough."

"I came here personally to recruit you so you could give me some ideas. Who do you think we should bring in next?"

"Of course it's Uchiha Ryunosuke."

"Him?" Uchiha Shinichi frowned. Although this person was also a moderate elder, he was so stubborn that he was a little afraid of him. Could he really persuade him?

Uchiha Yuichiro laughed and explained, "Although Kōwa is stubborn, he dotes on his only grandson the most. That child is now fourteen years old, but he hasn't awakened the Sharingan yet..."

Uchiha Shin-in suddenly realized that he had been in poor health for the past few years and had been indifferent to the affairs of his clan. He had no idea that the boy had not yet awakened his Sharingan.

With this as a breakthrough point, coupled with the shock of six pairs of Sharingan in one night, convincing Uchiha Ryunosuke will not be a problem.

With the support of the two elders, the stability of the study group can be guaranteed, and today's action can be said to have perfectly achieved its purpose.

According to Uchiha Yu's plan, it would no longer be appropriate to do anything more stimulating. Instead, he would wait for the genin of the training club to grow and gradually recruit other young ninjas to join, thus expanding his influence.

The timeline for overthrowing Fugaku Uchiha was set for three years later, which is plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Uchiha Yuichiro was cautious and suspicious by nature. He pondered Shin-in's strategy repeatedly and felt that the plan was just right.

He couldn't help but ask further and learned that the person who devised the three-year strategy was Uchiha Yu. He was more satisfied with his choice and more confident about the future.

The relatively intelligent elder remarked with emotion, "Since the passing of the old clan head Shimada, our Uchiha clan will finally have a clan head who is both capable in combat and intelligent. It's truly a rare blessing."

Uchiha Shin-in couldn't help but think of the former clan leader, Uchiha Madara, whose martial prowess was off the charts, but whose intellect was no match for his rich emotions.

He remarked with emotion, "Yes, it really wasn't easy."

Thinking of Fugaku, the current head of the Uchiha clan, the two sighed together, thinking that it would be better to fight Madara Uchiha instead.

Although Madara Uchiha was confused and couldn't grasp the important points, and often acted on emotion, he was truly a formidable fighter and a capable leader.

When Madara was the clan leader, Tobirama Senju was very good at scheming, but he never schemed against the Uchiha clan. Madara Uchiha blocked everything.

At that time, the Uchiha and Senju clans joined forces and became invincible throughout the ninja world. Their clan territory was transformed into Konoha Village, and its real estate value skyrocketed during the large-scale development.

What were once worthless wastelands were either transformed into houses and shops or reclaimed into fertile farmland. Family members became wealthy landlords or landlords, and they lived a very comfortable life during that period.

The Uchiha clan had struggled for a thousand years and had never experienced such a prosperous and peaceful life. That's why they collectively abandoned Madara Uchiha and were unwilling to leave the increasingly prosperous Konoha Village with him to start over in the wilderness.

But who could have imagined that without Madara Uchiha as clan head, Tobirama Senju, that silver coin, would set his sights on the Uchiha clan? Under the Second Hokage's elaborate schemes, the Uchiha clan was unable to elect a clan head who could truly represent them.

Without a leader, the once-great clan could no longer unite as one, nor could it speak for itself with a single voice, and was manipulated at the mercy of Tobirama Senju.

The Second Hokage was a true politician, with a perfect grasp of the distribution of benefits and the political suppression. Although he had torn the Uchiha clan to pieces, all the Uchiha ninjas both respected and feared him.

The Uchiha clan was truly impressed at that time. Their most outstanding genius, Uchiha Kagami, was recruited as a disciple by the Second Hokage. The Uchiha clan's reaction was envy and excitement, not humiliation.

At that time, the Uchiha clan was doing well. Although they were always dealt with by the Second Hokage, their income and sense of security were extremely high. The clan members had no complaints and were even used to the situation of not having a clan leader.

If the Second Hokage had lived another ten years, the Uchiha clan would have smoothly transitioned from being the most powerful clan in Konoha to becoming an integral part of the village's foundation.

However, fate is unpredictable. When the Second Hokage was on a mission to the Land of Lightning, he encountered the rebellion of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. After returning severely injured, he handed over the position of Hokage to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Third Hokage hastily took over.

From the unexpected death of Uchiha Kagami to the Third Hokage's group's unrestrained and forceful suppression of the Uchiha clan, the good days of the Uchiha were gone forever, which led to the idea of ​​needing a clan leader.

Unfortunately, the carefully selected clan leader failed to establish himself, and everyone's lives became even more difficult.

Although only a few years have passed, the idea of ​​changing the clan leader has already been brewing in people's minds, but most people have not yet realized it.

After hearing what the old man Shin-in said, high-ranking members like Uchiha Yuichiro were immediately stirred up with their inner thoughts. They had no resistance to changing the clan leader. Their only concern was whether it would be appropriate to replace him with the younger Uchiha Yu.

But through Uchiha Shin's account, he sensed Uchiha Yu's wisdom, shrewdness, and astonishing patience, and from then on, he had no more doubts.

However, to form a new force led by young people, he still had a final confirmation process to complete. Yuichiro asked, "When can I meet with Uchiha Yu?"

"Let's go to Yu's house for dinner tonight."

Uchiha Shinichi laughed, shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, the old man is becoming more and more at ease. He even figured out your cleverness perfectly."

Uchiha Yuichiro: "..."

The old man Xin Yin sighed, "For our Uchiha clan to produce a Tobirama like him, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry."

Yuichiro laughed heartily, his excitement overflowing. He said happily, "Uncle Shin-yin, it's not a bad thing that a Tobirama Uchiha has emerged. It's no wonder that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others have to experience what it feels like to be completely at someone's mercy, yet unable to utter a word."

"Look at the mess they've made over the years, they have no sense of propriety at all. If we let them continue like this, the Uchiha clan is going to be in big trouble."

"Uchiha Yu... Uchiha Tobirama... Very good, hehehe, I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight."

……

With Danzo Shimura gone, the ninjutsu and tactics training sessions took place in the most remote locations, but the Third Hokage was not old and frail, and his two classmates were not the idle elders they later became.

Within just a few days, they began to smell something unusual.

While the elders of the Uchiha clan were having a gathering, Mitokado Homura was also reporting the results of his investigation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I have confirmed through reliable intelligence channels that the Uchiha clan has gathered 129 genin who have not awakened the Sharingan and is conducting special training at their original ancestral training ground, which they have named the 'Ninjutsu and Tactics Learning Club'."

Xiao Chun, who was making money, asked, "Are there really no elite ninjas involved?"

Mitokado Homura replied, "I've already confirmed it. They're all abandoned genin. None of them are in the mission team, and none of them are ninjas from the security department."

"In the first few days, Uchiha Yasuo led a few Chunin to participate, but they have all disappeared now. They have all been handed over to a Chunin named Uchiha Yu to manage."

The Third Hokage asked, "What's the situation with Uchiha Yu?"

Mitokado Homura flipped through the files and read them aloud: "Uchiha Yu, born in Konoha in 25, studied at the Ninja Academy for four years, and was the top student in his grade every year, but did not have any particularly outstanding performance."

"After graduating from Konoha in 35, he succeeded his father and joined the squad of Fuchigami. Two years later, with the retirement of the Fuchigami Jonin, he also left the mission squad and joined the Security Department as a patrol ninja."

"In May of this year, Uchiha Yu was expelled from the Security Department. In June, he passed the Chunin Exams and became a Chunin. It is suspected that he has awakened the Sharingan, but there is currently no record of him using the Sharingan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with doubt, "This information about Uchiha Yu sounds rather ordinary. Why would the Uchiha clan...?"

Mitokado Homura quickly reminded him, "It's a ninjutsu and tactics training session."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued calmly, "Oh, it seems unreasonable to entrust this study group to an ordinary Chunin."

Xiaochun, who was making money, said disdainfully, "Hiruzen, I think you're overthinking it. They're just a bunch of low-ranking genin who don't stand a chance. They're just handed over to a chunin with some mission experience to learn some ninjutsu and mission skills, hoping that they can survive longer in the war."

Mitomon En nodded, then shook his head.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Flame, do you have a different opinion?"

"My initial thoughts were the same as Koharu's, but the Uchiha clan's study group has only been established for a few days and has already caused quite a stir. I think we need to pay more attention to it and investigate it in depth."

"Yes, I think it's very good that you're so cautious. I'll leave this matter to you."

"Okay, but I didn't target the Uchiha clan internally before, so everything has to start from scratch. Also, the situation is tense right now, and we're short-handed, so it will take a little longer."

"If Danzo were here, he would have been much better at monitoring the Uchiha clan. It would have been much easier for him than for me."

"You're right. Danzo still needs time to thoroughly investigate that mysterious figure. Before, we only guessed that he used natural energy, but now Orochimaru and Jiraiya have confirmed it. We must investigate him properly."

"Yan, I'll have to trouble you for now. I'll leave this matter to you."

Mitomon nodded and said nothing more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "Next, let's discuss the matter of planting spies in Kumogakure."

Koharu Utatane took out a stack of documents and began to speak: "Among the orphans collected from the Land of Fire, sixty have completed their training. They have mastered the techniques of espionage and have also developed sufficient loyalty and identification with Konoha Village."

"Starting tomorrow, they will enter the Land of Lightning from the coastline according to the pre-arranged smuggling plan, and wait for the next round of ninja selection by the Hidden Cloud Village."

The Third Hokage asked, "How many of these people were trained as ninja seeds this time?"

"All sixty children are ninja seeds."

"The spy networks of the common people and nobles in the Land of Lightning are complete. Only in the Hidden Cloud Village are there very few spies who can successfully infiltrate and form an effective intelligence network."

Koharu Utatane said regretfully, "Kumogakure is different from our Konoha. This ninja village is almost entirely a ninja village with very few civilians. The few civilians that exist are all members of the Yotsuki clan, so there is no chance for them to infiltrate."

"Many of the ninja spies we arranged entered Kumogakure through open selection, but the casualty rate was just too high. The training of Kumogakure ninjas was practically life-threatening, and their battles were even closer to real combat."

"The few ninjas that managed to survive have almost all betrayed us." Koharu Utatane couldn't help but sigh deeply, then she composed herself and continued, "So this time we've strengthened the children's bond and loyalty training, and we've also specifically followed Hiruzen's suggestion to increase bond education, hoping to acquire more spies."

Upon hearing Koharu Utatane's report, the Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction. He believed that spies with bonds would not choose to betray him. As long as he continued to plant such spy seeds, he could break through the intelligence black hole of Kumogakure and get rid of the current intelligence predicament in just a few years.

On the fourth day after its release, the number of new items exploded by 1/3.
