Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

As Uchiha Tsuki walked, he pondered the political landscape within Konoha and finalized the other two Uchiha factions.

Hatake and Mizuki.

"The Hatake clan is small in number, but their individual strength is extremely formidable." His primary target is the Hatake clan.

Such a small but powerful family is the ideal ally.

They need the protection of powerful forces to continue their bloodline and prevent the lineage from being interrupted in the future.

However, it will not develop excessive political ambitions due to population growth.

More importantly, the Hatake clan and the Uchiha clan have no blood feud; on the contrary, they have fought side by side in some past battles and have a good foundation for cooperation.

"Although the Minazuki clan is a large clan and their combat power is extremely strong due to their Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, there is a reason why they did not join Konoha in the original story."

According to Uchiha Yue's understanding, the Mizuki clan does not have a close relationship with the current Konoha ninja clans and looks down on them somewhat.

After all, they are a powerful clan, so it's normal for them to be arrogant, but admiring strength is also in their nature.

This clan was once a subordinate of the Uchiha clan and even attacked the Senju clan together, but later the two clans parted ways due to the Uchiha's erratic behavior.

"Since the predecessors of the two clans have cooperated before, it will be easy for me to cooperate again. Moreover... given the Minazuki clan's tendency to attach themselves to the strong, as long as I don't have a relapse, they will be Uchiha Teppei's underlings."

Will Uchiha Light have a relapse? Obviously not.

"In this way, the Uchiha, Hyuga, Hatake, and Minazuki clans will form a stable core circle." A glint flashed in his eyes. "And the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans..."

"While it's possible to win people over, having too many people in the core circle isn't necessarily a good thing."

Regardless of the discussions or the system, it has always been a pyramid-shaped structure with only a handful of people at the very top.

Once there are too many, the people at the bottom won't need to push their way up; those at the top will actively clean themselves.

"Let them remain neutral, not favoring any race, but loyal only to the village and its leader."

This can be seen as a way of turning the three clans into allies of the Uchiha, providing support without getting involved in the power struggle, and acting as a buffer between the various parties.

"With this organizational structure, as long as I don't cause any trouble, Konoha can remain peaceful for at least ten years."

Uchiha Yue was very optimistic, "Ten years is enough time for me to accumulate the strength to completely integrate the various factions that exist in Konoha."

Once his thoughts were clear, he quickened his pace and returned to the Uchiha compound.

Inside the settlement, most of the tribespeople had already rested, with only a few tents still lit up.

Uchiha Tsukuyomi walked straight to the tent where the ninjutsu manuals were stored, intending to bring a small gift for the Hatake and Mizuki clans.

……

The Hatake clan's temporary residence was not far from the Uchiha clan, less than a ten-minute walk away.

When Uchiha Tsuki appeared outside the Hatake clan chief's tent, the Hatake ninja on night watch were clearly taken aback.

"Leader of the Moon?" The young Hatake ninja immediately bowed respectfully. "It's so late, you..."

"I have important matters to discuss with Clan Chief Hatake," Yue said calmly. "Please inform him."

"Please wait a moment."

A moment later, the tent flap was lifted, and the head of the Hatake clan, Hatake Satsuya, stepped out.

He was tall and slender, with a short sword at his waist. "Chief Yue, please come in."

The two entered the tent and sat down facing each other.

Uchiha Tsuki didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose: "Sazai-kun, I've come this time to establish a deeper alliance with the Hatake clan."

After all, our two races have cooperated before and have a good foundation for an alliance.

Hatake's eyes flickered slightly. "Chief Moon is too kind; my tribe is small in number..."

Uchiha Tsukuyomi raised his hand to interrupt, "Although the Hatake clan is not large in number, their individual strength is great, and forming an alliance with our clan would definitely be a powerful alliance."

He took out the prepared scroll and placed it on the low table between the two of them.

"This is the sincerity of the Uchiha clan." He unsealed the scroll, and seven volumes of Lightning Release ninjutsu manuals and three volumes of swordsmanship notes appeared on the table.

"The Hatake clan excels in lightning release and swordsmanship; these texts may be of some help to you."

Hatake's gaze swept over the scrolls, and his breathing quickened noticeably for a moment.

The lightning release ninjutsu collected by the Uchiha clan is among the best in the entire ninja world, not to mention their swordsmanship expertise.

The Uchiha swordsmanship is renowned throughout the ninja world. Even though it requires the Sharingan, obtaining their training insights is an irresistible temptation for any swordsmanship clan.

"Chief Moon, such a generous gift..." Hatake Sakuya was clearly tempted.

It wasn't that he was short-sighted, but rather that allying with the Uchiha clan was indeed an overreach for them.

With the Uchiha clan led by Uchiha Tsuki, they can gain a great deal within the current Konoha framework.

"This is nothing special, just a small token of my appreciation," Uchiha Tsuki solemnly promised. "Once you become an ally of my clan, the allocation of village resources will be the main focus."

He paused, then continued, "What the Hatake clan needs to do is to steadfastly support all the correct decisions of our clan and work with us to maintain the stability of Konoha."

A brief silence fell over the tent. After a long while, Hatake Sakuya raised his head and said, "Since Chief Tsuki values ​​us so much, the Hatake clan is willing to form an alliance with the Uchiha."

He reached out and grasped the moon, "From this day forward, Hatake and Uchiha will stand together."

"It's a deal." Yue smiled.

……

When we left the Hatake camp, the night was still deep.

Without any delay, Uchiha Yue immediately headed towards the Minazuki clan's encampment.

Similar to Hatake's situation, the Minazuki clan leader, Minazuki Kagami, was also surprised by Uchiha Tsuki's late-night visit.

The negotiations went incredibly smoothly. Uchiha Tsuki had barely gotten to the point about forming an alliance when the Mizuki clan, who were eager to gain an advantage, immediately agreed.

Although their ancestors had been sold out by the Uchiha psychopaths several times and were almost driven to PTSD, Uchiha Yue proved to be reliable, and they were willing to try again.

When Uchiha Tsuki offered benefits and promised advantages and status, Mizuki Kagami almost knelt down and cried...

"It's already dawn?"

By the time Uchiha Tsuki left the Minazuki clan's encampment, the eastern sky was already beginning to lighten.

Even though he hadn't slept all night, he was unusually energetic.

The framework for the alliance of the four clans—Uchiha, Hyuga, Hatake, and Minazuki—has been established.

With the addition of the neutral Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans, the political landscape within Konoha has basically stabilized.

"Now, it's time to get busy conquering the world."

Upon returning to her tent, Yue showed no intention of resting and immediately summoned Uchiha Koichi.

"Lord Yue, you wanted to see me?"

"Koichi, I have an important task for you." Uchiha Tsukuyomi planned to use the same tactic again, and public opinion had to be in place before the operation could proceed.

After all, how can an army be called a righteous force without a legitimate reason?

"Let's arrange for a few civilians to get lost first..." he said with a wicked grin, and began to make the arrangements.
