Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

Upon arriving at the Minazuki clan's residence, two clansmen at the entrance immediately came to greet them.

"Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Yue nodded slightly. "Hmm, what about Kei?"

"Lord Hokage, please follow me." A ninja from Minazuki led the way, and they soon arrived outside Minazuki Kei's room.

knock knock knock.

Knock on the door, and Uchiha Yue pushed it open and entered.

"Lord Tsuki!"

Although Minazuki Kei was exhausted, he immediately got up to greet Uchiha Tsuki when he saw that it was him.

"How's the situation?" Uchiha Yue asked directly as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

With a troubled expression, Minazuki Kei lowered his head. "Lord Kei, I'm sorry, I..."

"I'm just asking, I don't mean to blame you. Tell me, what difficulties are you facing?"

"It's like this, Lord Yue..."

Minazuki Kei recounted in great detail the problems he had encountered during this period.

It's true that Matatabi is good at communicating with humans, but having been used to being wild, being suddenly imprisoned inevitably makes him resentful, wary, and even hateful towards humans.

Although it wasn't Minazuki Kei who did the deed, he was present at the time and was naturally mistaken by the Two-Tails as an accomplice of Uchiha Tsuki, leading to a general sense of enmity.

The interaction between the human and the beast has thus fallen into a state of calm, with no hope of reconciliation in the near future.

"This is a normal situation. Don't be discouraged. There's always a way to overcome difficulties."

Patting Qi on the shoulder to comfort him, Uchiha Yue decided to give him some advice.

Have you ever owned a cat?

Startled by the sudden question, Mizuki Kei paused for a moment.

"...I raised one when it was a puppy," he replied.

"That makes things easier." Uchiha Tsukuyomi smiled. "Don't let its size fool you, the Two-Tails is actually just a cat."

In its current state, it's like an injured cat hiding in a corner, refusing to let anyone touch it.

Qi didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"You can't look at it, you can't take the initiative, and you can't show any signs of 'I want to get along with you'."

Uchiha Yue spoke slowly, "The more eager you are to get closer, the more it will think you're up to something, that you have a conspiracy."

If you ignore it and go about your business as usual, it might actually lower its guard a bit.

He paused for a moment, then said, "The timeline for the Tailed Beasts is different from that of humans. We are in a hurry, but they can afford to wait."

"Lord Tsuki, I'm worried that if the progress is too slow, it will affect your plans." Minazuki Kei was somewhat impatient for quick success.

"Sharpening your axe won't delay your work." Uchiha Yue waved his hand. "Besides, it can be done in three to five years. Rushing things will only make things more likely to go wrong."

Minazuki Kei didn't answer immediately. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Lord Kei, what should I... do normally?"

"Just live a normal life. Go to the sealed space every few days, tell it stories, and share some interesting things that happen in your life."

Uchiha Yue gave him advice: "Let the Two-Tails get used to your appearance. When you disappear one day, it will be anxious."

Also, cats are very curious creatures, and although Erwei isn't a cat, the same applies.

"Remember when I told you its name?" Uchiha Yue smiled mischievously. "Find an opportunity to ask it out of the blue; it'll be curious."

"Once curiosity is aroused, you'll have topics to talk about, and your relationship will naturally grow closer."

After a moment's thought, Minazuki Kei smiled and said, "As expected of Lord Minazuki, you always manage to find the key."

"Alright, stop praising me. Focus on your work. You can rest at home for now."

Uchiha Yue didn't stay long; after asking about the situation, he left.

Uchiha Tsuki returned to the Hokage Building and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office, overlooking Konoha Village at dusk.

"There are many trivial matters in the village, but only a few are truly worth my personal attention."

His gaze fell on the ninja academy still under construction in the distance, and he murmured, "It'll be finished soon..."

……

Time really flies; three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot happened in those three days, almost one major event every day.

The following day, the entire ninja world learned that the Land of Whirlpools had made compensation and apologized to the Land of Fire.

This definitively established the nature of Konoha's war against foreign powers.

Konoha's actions in this war were righteous, and it shouldn't be called a war, but rather a defensive counterattack under circumstances where tolerance had reached its limit.

The culprit who started the war was not Tobirama Senju, but Hiroaki, the leader of Takigakure.

The most direct evidence is Kakuzu and his men who came to assassinate Uchiha Tsuki.

As for Tobirama Senju, he was cleverly portrayed as someone who was provoked and made a mistake on impulse.

To make up for this mistake, the Land of Whirlpools voluntarily compensated the Land of Fire and assumed part of the military expenses.

The news sent shockwaves through the entire ninja world!

Everyone was amazed by Uchiha Yue's personal strength. He not only survived being surrounded by so many people unscathed, but also almost wiped out all the attackers.

He truly deserves the title of third strongest ninja in the world!

At the same time, all forces held Hashirama Senju in higher regard and admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

If there were a martial arts alliance leader in this world, Hashirama Senju could easily gain countless supporters with a single call to arms.

After all, someone who has the ability but doesn't abuse it, who follows the rules and adheres to the bottom line, is the most suitable person to become everyone's nominal leader.

The next day, the ninja world was shaken once again, and the protagonist was still Uchiha Tsuki.

The cause of the upheaval was, of course, the negotiation resolution between Uchiha Tsuki and Senju Hashirama: in order to maintain peace in the ninja world, the armed forces of the River, Waterfall, and Hot Spring forces would be emasculated, and troops would be stationed there.

When the news spread throughout the ninja world, all the major powers regarded Konoha as a thorn in their side.

If Konoha can treat others like this today, they can treat them the same way tomorrow!

Therefore, Uchiha Tsukuyomi became known in the ninja world as an ambitious schemer, a warmonger, and the biggest manipulator of peace.

The fact that such a notorious reputation could spread throughout the ninja world and gain the consensus of most people is not only due to the eye-catching behavior of Uchiha Tsukuyomi, but also largely due to the support and encouragement from major powers such as the Wind, Earth, and Lightning factions.

Although they were unable to station troops on the territories of those powers, they still made a fortune.

Why not secretly make a fortune and then push Uchiha Tsukuyomi out to take the fall?

That way, we can find a reason to attack Konoha in the future, right?

But Uchiha Yue wasn't bothered by this; he was used to having too much debt and not caring about too many lice.

In any case, the founding battle of Konoha has come to a perfect end, and its reputation has been established. Anyone who wants to make trouble behind the scenes will have to think twice.

Unless absolutely necessary, no force will dare to provoke Konoha in the next three to five years.

Of course, except for Uzumaki Village.

On the third day, Hashirama Senju finally stood up and displayed the intimidating power befitting the number one ninja in the world.

His declaration was short, but extremely domineering:

No force may wage war of any kind for any reason. If necessary, it must obtain Konoha's consent, otherwise it will pay the price with its life!

"Tsk tsk, this must be Tobirama's doing."

Uchiha Yue shook his head and threw the document on the table. "This declaration is practically ready to have my name on it, but it's too late!"

If Hashirama Senju had done this sooner, Tsukuyomi Uchiha would never have been able to establish Konoha on the Central Plains; he would have slunk away to the Land of Water to live a quiet life.

"They want to learn from Confucius to persuade people with reason, but they forget that when he traveled around the states, he brought three thousand disciples with him. If reasoning doesn't work, they can still explain it with physics."

"There are still too many troublemakers in the world, like me," Uchiha Tsuki chuckled. "You still have a long way to go, Hashirama!"

"But this is good too. The division of the world into six parts has been fully formed, and there will be no disputes in the next five years. Everyone can develop in peace."

But in terms of development...

Hehe, who's afraid of who?

Uchiha Tsukuyomi stood up, used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the Hokage's office, and headed straight for the newly built Ninja Academy.

Students, your Principal Yue is here!
