Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

That afternoon, Hashirama Senju led his group away from the capital of the Land of Fire.

"Big brother, are we really leaving like this?" Tobirama Senju followed beside Hashirama, his voice filled with resentment. "That Uchiha Tsuki..."

He really wanted to kill Uchiha Tsuki.

"Tobirama." Hashirama Senju stopped and turned to look at his younger brother. "Tsuki-kun has his path, and we have ours. Time will tell."

Tobirama Senju wanted to argue, but in the end he could only sigh and choose to support him.

At the same time, Uchiha Tsuki and Uchiha Rin also left the capital.

The two sped eastward toward the construction site of Konoha Village.

As evening approached, a cluster of buildings, beginning to take shape, came into view.

In its early stages, Konoha Village consisted of simple wooden huts and temporary tents, but the outlines of streets, the divided areas, and the busy construction workers and laborers were already visible.

"Lord Yue is back!"

"Lord Kotsuki!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Koichi was the first to approach.

"Lord Yue, Miss Lin." He bowed respectfully. "The village's infrastructure is 30% complete, and construction will be finished in less than two months."

"Very good." Uchiha Tsuki nodded. "Summon all the clan leaders. We will have a meeting in one hour."

"yes!"

An hour later, in the makeshift meeting room.

Hyuga, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Minazuki, Kurama, Hatake... In addition to the Konoha ninja clans from the original work, there is now the Minazuki clan.

Uchiha Tsuki sat in the main seat, with Uchiha Rin standing beside him.

"Everyone, first of all, thank you for choosing to join Konoha Village and working with me to build this peaceful land and future."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

"But there are some things I must tell you all truthfully. Just this afternoon, my negotiations with Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha... completely broke down."

A low murmur arose in the conference room.

Hyuga Tennin frowned slightly. "Chief Yue, didn't you say earlier that a basic agreement had been reached?"

He felt he had been tricked, but had no proof.

The other clan leaders exchanged bewildered glances; this was different from when the agreement was signed...

The main reason they joined Konoha was because of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi?

Haha, he's really not qualified, and he doesn't have that much influence.

They'd already come all this way, and then Uchiha Tsukuyomi told them that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara weren't coming. What the hell is this if not a scam?

"Leader Moon, could you explain the specific reasons?" someone asked, frowning.

"Of course." Uchiha Yue nodded, his expression serious. "The fundamental disagreement in the negotiations lies in the fact that Senju Hashirama has always insisted on his ideal of equality for all."

"No matter how I explained the crux of the matter, he clearly stated that a peaceful world in the future must break down the barriers of the ninja clan."

All secret techniques and bloodline limits should be made public so that everyone has the opportunity to learn them.

He believed that only in this way could true equality be achieved, and only then could the hatred and war between the ninja clans be completely ended.

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room erupted in chaos.

"What?!"

"Reveal the secret technique? How is that possible!"

"This is utterly absurd! Bloodline limits are the foundation of our race, why should they be made public?!"

Hyuga Tenjin's expression turned extremely grim. "Chief Yue, is this really true?"

"Absolutely true." Uchiha Tsukishiro remained expressionless. "That's why I ultimately chose to end the peace talks and come to hold this meeting with you."

He paused, giving everyone time to process what he had to say.

"I know this news is a heavy blow to everyone."

I also know that when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha join forces, their power is terrifying.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi slowly stood up, placing his hands on the table. "So now, I'm giving everyone a choice."

His gaze swept over each clan leader. "If you fear the power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, if you find what I'm saying unbelievable, or if staying in Konoha is too dangerous, you can leave now. I will not stop you, nor will I pursue the matter."

The meeting room was completely silent.

"But..." Uchiha Tsuki's tone suddenly turned cold, "After this meeting, anyone who wants to leave will be considered a traitor to the village."

The three crimson tomoe in his eyes slowly spun. "Those who betray the village will be killed without mercy!"

The oppressive silence lasted for a full minute.

Nara Shikagen was the first to speak, "Leader Yue, I would like to ask... if we stay, will Konoha demand that each ninja clan reveal their secret techniques and bloodline limits?"

"No." Uchiha Tsukuyomi said firmly, "Konoha Village respects the heritage and independence of every ninja clan."

Here, you are still you, your secret arts are still your secret arts, and your bloodline is still your bloodline.

"This point is specifically stated in the agreement we signed, so I won't go into further explanation."

These words softened the expressions of the crowd considerably. After a moment of contemplation, Hyuga Tennin slowly said, "In that case, my Hyuga clan chooses to stay."

"My Nara clan will also stay." Nara Shikagen immediately followed suit, and the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, who had been on good terms with them for generations, also expressed their intention to stay.

Soon, one after another, all the clan leaders made their choices, and not one of them chose to leave.

In short, we're already here.

Even if you abandon darkness and embrace light, you'll still be relegated to the lower or middle class and be looked down upon. It's better to stay and remain in the upper or middle class.

"very good."

Uchiha Yue nodded, took out a scroll of the ninja world map, and spread it out on the table. "Since everyone has chosen to stay, let's talk about what's to come."

His finger pointed to the location of the Land of Fire on the map.

"Currently, the area actually controlled by the Land of Fire only accounts for one-third of the Central Plains."

Uchiha Yue drew a circle on the map with his finger.

"The remaining two-thirds are either within the sphere of influence of other countries or occupied by small ninja clans and wandering ninjas."

He looked up at the crowd.

"Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are now starting anew and establishing their own village."

This process takes time; site selection, construction, resource integration... it will take at least three to six months.

"This period is our opportunity."

Uchiha Yue moved his finger across the map, circling several key areas.

"We want to expand, occupy more fertile land, control more people, and absorb more small ninja clans and wandering ninjas."

"When Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's villages are completed, we aim to make Konoha's sphere of influence cover two-thirds, or even more, of the entire Central Plains."

The Akimichi clan chief asked gruffly, "Chief Moon, do you mean... to start a war?"

"No." Uchiha Tsuki shook his head. "It was a peaceful takeover."

He paused, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "As long as no one says we're starting a war, then it's not a war, do you understand?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Hyuga Tenjin slowly said, "Leader Yue means... to eliminate all those who oppose and accept all those who submit."

Afterwards, they claimed publicly that they voluntarily joined Konoha and willingly accepted the management of the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi shook his head. "Tennin-kun, you're being too blunt. I didn't say that. We are a force for justice."

Such crude methods are not in line with the values ​​of the Celestial Empire.

"We want peaceful development, but they insist on invading, bullying our weakness, and killing our people time and time again. We had no choice but to take action; it was righteous. Do you understand?"

Hyuga Tenjin was stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with the others, and then looked at Uchiha Tsuki with a different expression.

Such a unique Uchiha... I've finally witnessed it today.
