Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

"Two seconds! Lord Yue only took two seconds..."

"Those are twenty elites! Hatake Yuuki, Minazuki Kei, Hyuga Kouji... none of them are unknown, yet..."

"Is this Lord Yue's power? I didn't even see how any of this happened!"

The murmurs grew louder and louder, everyone's expression was fervent, their eyes fixed on the man who stood proudly in the center of the arena.

If their previous trust in Uchiha Yue stemmed more from his ideals, methods, and generosity.

At this moment, this conviction finally incorporates a sense of awe for individual ability.

Hyuga Tennin stood still, his pure white eyes fixed on Uchiha Tsuki in the center of the arena, his ten fingers clenched tightly under his sleeves.

He thought he knew enough about Uchiha Yue—that he was farsighted and good at weighing options—but that he was far inferior in strength.

He is not as good as Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, much less as good as himself or Tobirama Senju.

But now he realizes he was wrong, terribly wrong!

"At that speed, even if he faced Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju working together, he could handle it with ease, right?"

"How did he do that?" Hyuga Tennin's gaze fell on the kunai that Uchiha Tsuki had just put away. Combining the details of the battle he had just witnessed, he had already analyzed the general situation.

"A space-time ninjutsu that uses kunai to mark locations for rapid movement?"

He had a keen eye, but he didn't know that Tobirama Senju also knew this technique.

"If you want to solve it..." Hyuga Tenjin wanted to say it was simple, but after simulating it in his mind for a long time, he found that there was no solution.

Under normal circumstances, simply disrupting the kunai's movement trajectory in advance would prevent Uchiha Tsuki from getting close.

but!

Yue is an Uchiha!

The Uchiha-style throwing technique is renowned. If you think you can use ninja tools to knock down all the kunai thrown by an Uchiha, you must be drunk.

"No one can react to a time-space teleportation, but it always takes time to manifest and make a move. As long as one can react in time..."

Hyuga Tenshi was even more desperate.

I can't react in time, I can't react at all!

Yue can activate his body cells with Lightning Release, greatly increasing his reaction and attack speed, and... he also has the Sharingan's dynamic vision and predictive abilities.

"..." Hyuga Tenjin fell silent.

If someone else had mastered this space-time ninjutsu, it wouldn't be so unsolvable.

But the person who mastered this technique happened to be an Uchiha, and a Uchiha who was proficient in Lightning Release and knew how to activate body cells!

"Tennin-kun," Nara Shikagen's voice came from beside him, "If you were facing the Moon Boss, what would your chances of winning be?"

Hyuga Tenjin glared at Nara Shikagen, feeling that he had brought up a sore spot, and said in a deep voice, "It's a 50/50 chance."

Rin Uchiha stood a little distance away from the crowd, her ears twitched, and she couldn't help but snort coldly.

You think you're evenly matched with my man?

It would be more likely that Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju would say this!

Rin Uchiha is really arrogant now, even more arrogant and confident than Tsukuyomi Uchiha himself!

She looked at the figure in the center of the arena, chin slightly raised, enjoying the cheers of the crowd, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

Pride, admiration... and other emotions intertwined in her eyes.

She knew Yue was very strong; she had known that since she was little.

"You..." Rin couldn't help but smile, "No wonder you're the man I've watched grow up."

In the center of the arena, Uchiha Yue closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly back.

Cheers surged forth like a tidal wave, and he could feel the gazes of shock, fervor, awe, and conviction falling upon him.

This is what he wanted.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, and his Sharingan had returned to normal pupils.

He raised his hand and pressed it down, and the cheers gradually subsided.

"The assessment is over." Uchiha Tsuki announced the results: "Hatake Yuuki, Hyuga Kouji, Minazuki Kei, Hatake Chiba, Hyuga Makoto, Minazuki Yukie, Hyuga Souichirou, Minazuki Ryo, Hatake Shun, Hyuga Iori, Minazuki Seiran, Hatake Hayato..."

Every time he called out a name, the person whose name was called would involuntarily straighten their back.

This is recognition from the strong, and they feel honored!

"These twelve people are hereby incorporated into my direct Shadow Guard, effective today." Uchiha Tsuki's gaze swept over them. "You have half a day to prepare. Gather here at dawn tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" the twelve answered in unison.

Uchiha Yue nodded and turned to the candidates who were campaign secretaries on his left.

"As for you..." he paused, "come with me."

……

After Uchiha Tsuki and his men left, the discussions on the training ground resumed, louder and more unrestrained.

"With Lord Tsukihime here, it seems that Uzumaki Village is not invincible after all."

"Although I've never seen Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, with Lord Yue's speed, they can't stop him!"

"Don't be too arrogant! But... the strength Lord Yue has displayed is truly inspiring!"

At this moment, confidence spread like wildfire in the hearts of everyone in Konoha.

Although they didn't believe that Uchiha Yue could defeat those two men, they were confident that Uchiha Yue had the ability and strength to protect them and lead Konoha to become stronger!

Almost at the same moment.

Within the territory of the Land of Waterfalls.

After a day of hard work, Tobirama Senju, with the influence of his elder brother Hashirama Senju, successfully gathered together all the forces, large and small, surrounding the Land of Fire.

He stood on a makeshift wooden platform, below him were more than twenty ninjas with solemn expressions.

They came from surrounding powers such as the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Waterfalls, and were all leaders or high-ranking representatives of their respective ninja villages.

"Gentlemen," Tobirama Senju's voice was icy, "you should all have seen Uchiha Tsuki's ambition."

He vigorously promoted the Uchiha Yue threat theory, which is, of course, true.

"Less than half a month after its founding, Konoha had already begun to stir up public opinion and prepare to annex the large and small forces surrounding the Land of Fire."

I don't need to tell you this; you've all felt it. If you hadn't been so patient and tolerant, by now... the Konoha ninjas would probably be at our doorstep.

"And the most terrifying thing..." Tobirama Senju's voice was even colder, "As long as public opinion is in the right place, even if he starts a war, he will be on the side of righteousness, while you will lose your land and be on the side of evil!"

Therefore, you must unite and nip the threat in the bud!

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of discussion arose from the audience.

After a long pause, the leader of Yugakure frowned and spoke, "Lord Tobirama, Uchiha Tsuki does indeed have the idea of ​​expansion, and he is indeed brewing public opinion."

But we haven't given anyone a pretext yet. The worst-case scenario would be if we initiated war.

"What if he dies?" Tobirama Senju asked with a cold laugh.

The crowd below exchanged glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated. "Is Lord Hashirama going to make a move?!"

"Of course!" Tobirama Senju began to exaggerate, "Uchiha Tsuki, this destabilizing factor that disrupts peace, cannot be won over by mutual understanding and persuasion alone; he must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

He stepped down from the wooden platform, approaching the crowd step by step. "So... do you all have your answers now?"

Is that even a question? Of course there is!

"For the sake of peace in the ninja world, we agree to unite and cooperate with Lord Tobirama to destroy Konoha!"
