I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Even with all that he did, the Uchiha clan was still outnumbered and unable to make a difference in Konoha. The most crucial issue was that the Uchiha clan itself had too many problems, as evidenced by their reaction after Shimura Danzo's death.

Even though everyone knows that taking this opportunity to strengthen relations with other ninja clans is the right thing to do, unfortunately, no one can make that decision, and the Uchiha clan will continue to stick to the police department as usual.

As long as the Konoha Police Department remains privatized by the Uchiha, the Uchiha will have no true allies in Konoha.

Which ninja clan doesn't both hate and envy this? And which Hokage wouldn't find this annoying?

Not only that, the higher-ups of the Uchiha clan even wanted to win over the Root members, who were originally followers of Madara Uchiha and were deeply influenced by him.

Before leaving the village, Madara Uchiha was a typical ninja-centric.

That's ridiculous. Times have changed, but people haven't.

Uchiha Shingen had to consider whether he should leave himself an escape route.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Hyuga clan also uses their eyes. This clan was famous for its clan survival techniques during the Warring States period. To think that the Hyuga clan would stand with the Uchiha clan is just a pipe dream.

Other Konoha ninja clans are even less likely to be involved.

However, those in Kirigakure are more cooperative.

“Okay,” Mei Terumi suddenly said.

Hozuki Mangetsu and the others were taken aback. They looked at Terumi Mei, then at Uchiha Shingen, and gradually, they revealed expressions of "So that's how it works."

“Then I have no objection,” Hozuki Mangetsu said.

Uchiha Shingen didn't quite understand the expressions on these people's faces, and had no idea what they were imagining, but that didn't stop him from feeling a little more at ease.

"As long as there is a consensus, the clan will send someone to make contact later. Of course, on the surface, this will be a friendly exchange between Konoha and Kirigakure. We can talk slowly."

“Yes, let’s take it slow and talk it out.” Hozuki Mangetsu nodded.

Uchiha Shingen felt that this guy's hostility towards him had suddenly decreased significantly.

The Hozuki clan is truly unfathomable.

"Alright, let me remind you one more time: don't think you can easily solve Obito Uchiha's problem. We'll work together to solve it after we finish talking," said Shingen Uchiha. He didn't want these people to become another Suigetsu Fuguki, who was also killed in no time.

"Hey, you're being too nosy!" Hozuki Mangetsu was dissatisfied. He felt he had already been very amiable out of consideration for Terumi Mei.

"I don't care what you do. I'm just afraid that you'll be gone by the time we come back next time. Are we here to talk to ghosts?" Uchiha Shingen felt it was necessary to let them know their true strength. "Mangekyou Sharingan, want to know more? You can't do anything about Uchiha Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan."

The Hidden Mist's ninjutsu system really didn't have any good solutions against Obito Uchiha.

If it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Seal left behind by Uchiha Shingen, there would have been no way to prevent it.

Now, let's use the multiplicative detonating tags.

If Obito Uchiha hadn't carried more eyes to use Izanagi, he might as well have waited to be blown up.

However, the ninja clans of Kirigakure are not to be trifled with. They certainly have a way to deal with this, but the Uchiha clan will have better leverage to negotiate if both sides join forces.

As his good neighbor and also an Uchiha, it was only natural for Obito Uchiha to indirectly contribute to the clan.

We can't let Obito Uchiha ruin this place, Kirigakure.

Chapter Fifty, Good heavens!

After finalizing the general cooperation process with the Hidden Mist Village's disciples, Uchiha Shingen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to turn around and bring Pakura over.

If Uchiha Shingen hadn't taken her with him, she really wouldn't have been able to leave the Land of Water.

The superiority of the Flying Thunder God Technique is evident.

As for the unpredictable techniques displayed by Uchiha Shingen, Hozuki Mangetsu and Terumi Mei, having experienced them many times before, simply commented, "This guy is more skilled than before." However, Momochi Zabuza and Ringo Ameyuri, who were seeing the Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time, were horrified.

It's no wonder that Konoha's "Yellow Flash," the current Fourth Hokage, caused headaches for many countries.

However, what they didn't know was that Uchiha Shingen's Flying Thunder God Technique was different from Namikaze Minato's.

Actually, he is different from Tobirama Senju.

When Tobirama Senju created this technique, it was not perfect. It had high requirements in all aspects and was a major consumer of chakra.

Even Tobirama Senju himself didn't use this technique very often.

During his first playthrough, Uchiha Shingen memorized the original version of this technique. Inspired by the Uchiha clan's interpretations and various speculations about it, and combined with his unique understanding of chakra interconnection, he created this Flying Thunder God version that suited him.

Minato Namikaze improved the Flying Thunder God Technique, mainly by increasing its chakra requirements, simplifying its operation, and creating a series of special kunai to suit his own fighting style.

Uchiha Shingen focused on maximizing the effect of chakra interconnection.

His Tailed Beast-level chakra is the foundation for his frequent use of this technique.

Therefore, choosing a major in college is quite important. Uchiha Shingen chose Computer Networks and Technology as his major in his Zero playthrough...

Setting aside the time loops and bloodlines, if there is anything truly unique to Uchiha Shingen, it is his understanding and use of chakra interconnection, which is completely different from everyone else in the Naruto world.

While both are shadow clones, his shadow clones are incredibly versatile. He can place a shadow clone next to him so that his Hyuga clan teammates can't tell which one is the real body.

He can also combine different ninjutsu almost perfectly.

After bringing Yekura back, Uchiha Shingen thought for a moment and decided that he should shake hands with her before leaving.

There's no late-night snack here, but a handshake is still possible.

Let bygones be bygones, we'll all be on the same side from now on.

“Mangetsu, from now on we’re all on the same side. When you come to Konoha, I’ll cover all your expenses.” Uchiha Shingen extended his hand, and Hozuki Mangetsu looked at him for a long time. Finally, as if she had made a huge sacrifice, she reached out and shook his hand.

"Don't shake hands with anyone else," Hozuki Mangetsu said as he withdrew his hand. "Don't you know what you're capable of?"

"How could I possibly do such a thing?" Uchiha Shingen sensed how difficult it was to build trust; it truly wasn't easy. "Mangetsu, I'm so glad you trust me. Just wondering, do you like tea?"

“I don’t trust you, I trust myself,” Hozuki Mangetsu said.

Although he didn't understand why he was being asked if he liked tea, he didn't think it was important information, so after thinking about it for a moment, he said he liked it.

In that instant, he did indeed feel that Uchiha Shingen suddenly had a high degree of... comradeship towards him?

This person is as strange as ever!

He wasn't killed simply because he was too strong.

"Everyone, I look forward to seeing you again." After bidding farewell to the few talented young men, Uchiha Shingen pulled up the expressionless Yekura and prepared to jump into the water.

He suddenly remembered he hadn't finished speaking, so he quickly turned around and said to Mei Mei, "I really didn't mean to pull down your clothes last time, you have to believe me!"

After saying that, he pulled Ye Cang up and jumped off the cliff on the spot.

The moment they entered the water, a Water Release: Wave Riding Strike was unleashed, and the waves swept the two of them away in an instant.

I could vaguely hear someone cursing behind me, but the wind was too strong to hear clearly.

It seems he even used a water-based technique, because the water flow behind him was a bit irregular, but it wasn't as fast as the water beneath his feet, so it couldn't catch up with him.

With such a friendly atmosphere during the talks, he believed that Mei Terumi would be able to feel his sincerity and would no longer misunderstand him.

Hozuki Mangetsu is a mature man, and he will surely guide her to value harmony.

The rest of the journey was smooth.

The two people, their feet treading on the waves, parted the dark sea like a large fish parting the water to reveal a snow-white tail.

Because of the extremely high speed, there was a whistling sound of wind all around.

Yekura's feelings were complicated.

This trip to the Hidden Mist completely turned her life upside down.

She thought of the scroll, never expecting that their parting in Sunagakure would almost be their last.

But his identity as a Sand Ninja was lost in that instant.

She lost her village.

Going back is impossible. Sunagakure is very stubborn. The desert people are fierce and worship strength, and their way of life will be even more cruel.

Returning to Pakura in Sunagakure would make him a sinner of Sunagakure.

Sunagakure wanted her to die a heroic death.

But that was only from the village's perspective. Dying in battle was one thing, but dying in this way was something Ye Cang had thought about for so many days and found it unacceptable.

But... should we really go to Konoha?

She glanced at Uchiha Shingen, who seemed to be focused on "driving" (a euphemism for driving).

This guy is indeed very strong, and he's not a bad person. Although he's despicable and lecherous, he's not her man, so it doesn't matter.

It's a secret known throughout the ninja world that the Uchiha clan and the Hokage lineage are at odds.

Every village has similar incidents. Back in Sunagakure, Yogakure chose to stay out of it because she didn't want to get involved, ignoring all the offers of help from various parties.

She tried hard to create the persona that she didn't understand politics.

Obviously, it didn't work.

When dealing with individuals they perceive as "uncontrollable" and "unpredictable," the Sand Village factions are far more direct and undisguised than Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan and the Hokage Building had this kind of relationship in Sunagakure, they would have already overturned the table and started a real fight.

The Will of Fire is not unique to Konoha; the other four major ninja villages also possess it. Although there are differences in the details, the core spirit is the same—individual interests must give way to collective interests, and the interests of the ninja clan must yield to the interests of the village.

Joining Konoha isn't entirely out of the question, since Sunagakure is now an ally of Konoha and probably won't say anything about it. Retribution later is inevitable, but it's impossible to do it openly now.

Ninja clans and ninja villages, as two different forms of ninja organization from different eras, have corresponding advantages and disadvantages.

The ninja clan has a thousand flaws, but they are relatively united.

The ninja village has a million good points, but with so many people and so few resources, it's easy for people to switch jobs if they feel the pay isn't good enough. However, switching jobs carries the risk of death.

The essence of all these wills is that the ninja village hopes everyone won't jump ship at the drop of a hat, but will instead think more about how to make the pie bigger.

However, for ninjas who are determined to switch sides, it's one thing to deal with chunin and genin, but if a jonin appears, they will definitely be eliminated with all their might.

If you switch to an allied country, then go and anonymously place orders on the gold exchange.

This is also a key factor in the success of the Gold Exchange in the entire ninja world; otherwise, it would have been overthrown by the Five Great Villages long ago.

Yekura is one of the best Jonin in Sunagakure, but the risk of switching sides is nothing to her, because she was originally Sunagakure's target for elimination.

If there's any organization that can make Sunagakure behave more cautiously, resorting to underhanded tactics instead of open attacks, it's only Konoha and Kirigakure.

Konoha was a village that Sunagakure formed an alliance with passively, while Kirigakure was a village that Sunagakure wanted to form an alliance with actively, but Kirigakure also wanted Pakura dead.
