Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

On the way back to the village, Uchiha Yue was filled with worry.

It's not that I lack self-confidence, but rather a sense of urgency.

He doesn't have much time left.

Hashirama Senju was indeed a gentleman, but he was also the most powerful person in the world so far, without exception.

"Nine-Tails, you're too dangerous..."

Uchiha Tsukuyomi suddenly remembered this phrase and couldn't help but grin. "I bet Senju Hashirama will use this phrase on me."

This was almost inevitable.

When Hashirama Senju sensed that his lifespan was nearing its end, he would certainly consider things for the future, and Uchiha Tsuki, who had always been leading him by the nose... would be the first to be affected.

"So what? It's all about timing, isn't it?"

Uchiha Yue took the matter to heart, but didn't pay it much attention.

From the very beginning of the village's establishment, he has been walking a tightrope, using the advantage of time to gradually create the current situation.

Further on... the gap can no longer be bridged by time difference; in the end, it still comes down to strength.

"It's just about strength, isn't it? As long as Konoha prospers, how could I lack strength!"

He clenched his fist tightly. "Now is the time to compete on development. Under my influence, Konoha now might not be any worse than in the original story!"

As long as the prosperity level increases, Hashirama Senju won't be afraid!

Even if he makes a wrong move and is ultimately no match for Hashirama Senju, he can still learn from Madara Uchiha and fake his death to escape, while also taking a bite out of Hashirama Senju!

"However... the Eternal Eye is a big problem."

Uchiha Tsukuyomi glanced back in the direction of Uzumaki Village. "My dear brother, I hope you will give me this opportunity."

With his thoughts settled, Uchiha Yue stopped worrying about these unfinished matters. His priority now was to return to the village and develop it as quickly and healthily as possible.

If necessary... it's also acceptable to force growth.

In short, with both the precognitive and the idiotic system, the two cheats against Hashirama Senju's one cheat, the advantage is mine!

Turning to look at Nara Satoshi beside him, he said, "Satoshi, our path to building this village is fraught with peril. Do you think... I can make it to the other side?"

Nara Satoshi, who was being questioned, was taken aback. As intelligent as he was, he immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Uchiha Tsukuyomi's words.

"Lord Hokage, we still have time." He did not directly answer Uchiha Tsuki's question, and deep down he did not believe that Uchiha Tsuki could reach the other side.

Hashirama Senju is too strong!

Judging from the current situation, Hashirama Senju has already regarded Uchiha Tsuki as a dangerous element. It's not that he won't take action, but rather that the time hasn't come yet.

If I were Hashirama Senju...

Uchiha Tsuki is too young. When someone thinks they won't live past Uchiha Tsuki, they will definitely drag him into the Pure Land together.

After all, Hashirama Senju could suppress him when he was alive, but once he died, who in the ninja world could stop Uchiha Tsuki?

and so……

Nara Satoshi cautiously glanced at the First Hokage, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party did not have any particularly special micro-expressions on his face.

"Well, we still have time." Uchiha Yue looked ahead. "Let's hurry on our way; there's still a lot to do back in the village."

However, the two traveled in the normal way of ninjas, and he did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He can manage on his own, but with Nara Satoshi, he won't have enough chakra.

They couldn't leave Nara Satoshi behind, as that would be too dangerous, so they had no choice but to run forward with great difficulty.

……

At the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools, Kakuzu and his men were cautiously lying in ambush, not daring to even take a nap.

It has been four days and three nights, why is there still no sign of Uchiha Yue?

"He will definitely show up, he definitely will!"

Kakuzu reassured everyone, but he was more anxious than anyone else.

Although the battle information that Uchiha Tsukuyomi could use the Flying Thunder God Technique was not yet widely known.

They didn't know, so naturally they weren't worried that Uchiha Yue would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel. What they were really worried about was that Uchiha Yue would take an unconventional route and detour from somewhere else.

"Don't forget, the Uchiha have always been an arrogant and conceited clan. Uchiha Tsuki will definitely take the main road, not a country lane!"

Kakuzu continued to reassure his companions, while also trying to convince himself not to make a misjudgment!

If he misjudges and misses this golden opportunity, he will have no choice but to lead his men to infiltrate Konoha and carry out a doomed mission like moths to a flame.

If you can live... who would want to die?

Not long after he finished speaking, just as Kakuzu's patience was wearing thin, two figures appeared on the distant horizon.

Uchiha Tsuki and Nara Satoshi are on their way!

"They're here!" Kakuzu's spirits lifted, and he reminded his companions, "Proceed according to the original plan. We must eliminate Uchiha Tsuki and save the village from this disaster!"

Glug, glug, glug.

As Kakuzu finished speaking, the sound of him tilting his head back to drink water continued.

Everyone except Kakuzu drank the Hero's Water, and their chakra levels increased tenfold!

Although a surge in chakra does not equate to a surge in strength, it does grant the user tremendous power when using ninjutsu, making their attacks at least three times stronger than normal.

With his intentions directed at the unsuspecting, even the strongest Uchiha Tsuki would perish!

They are confident, and so is Kakuzu.

Therefore, he did not drink the Hero's Water, believing that he was also a powerful figure with many people helping him, and that he could easily defeat Uchiha Tsuki.

Of course, Kakuzu also had his own ulterior motives.

Life is so beautiful, and the success rate of this mission is very high, so there is no need for him to go all out.

Even if something unexpected happens, it's not too late to drink the Hero's Water at the very end.

"Lord Tsuki, it's a bit too quiet ahead," Nara Satoshi suddenly reminded him.

It wasn't that he had discovered anything, but rather that his battle-hardened intuition told him there might be danger ahead.

Although he was young, he was an excellent ninja who had fought on the battlefield from an early age and lived to adulthood.

They may not be the most skilled, but they are definitely quick-witted.

"Okay, let's keep going."

Uchiha Yue didn't take it to heart and continued forward at the same speed.

Neither Hashirama Senju nor Madara Uchiha would bother with ambushes. As long as it's not one of them, Uchiha Tsuki isn't afraid of anyone and doesn't need to be careful.

Nara Satoshi did not refute, but followed even closer, prepared to deal with any unexpected situations at any time.

"They're here!"

When he saw the two enter the ambush, Kakuzu's eyes flashed, and he swung his right hand, which he had raised earlier, down heavily.

My hands are freezing!

shhhhhh!

First, a barrage of kunai cleared the way, followed by a barrage of various ninjutsu raining down!

The dazzling scene was like fireworks during the Chinese New Year.

"Hokage-sama, watch out!"

Nara Satoshi reminded him, only to find that Uchiha Tsuki was nowhere to be found.

The next second, a strong wind howled in my ears, the chirping of birds was noisy and piercing, and a disdainful snort remained in place.

"Ha, what nonsense!"
