Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

"The Third Hokage is still in power. He is in his prime, and it's probably still a long way off before he can choose a successor."

Whether it's from his eyes, his tone of voice, or the words he's saying at this moment.

Uchiha Ryosuke saw that intense longing and helplessness.

As the clan leader, he bears the responsibility of revitalizing the Uchiha clan.

They want to restore the Uchiha clan to its former glory as the number one clan in Konoha.

Without a doubt, the best approach is to take control of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

As long as the Uchiha clan rules Konoha, they can set all the rules.

Unfortunately

So many years have passed, and Konoha has had three Hokage.

However, there is no indication that the Uchiha clan has any chance of becoming the rulers of Konoha.

"I have a different opinion, Lord Fugaku."

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled slightly, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression.

Upon hearing his words, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but become curious: "Do you have a different opinion?"

"I think the Third Hokage is not far from stepping down."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

These words clearly stirred something within Fugaku Uchiha.

The look in his eyes, which had originally been filled with intense disappointment and helplessness, now held a hint of curiosity.

"If the Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in Konoha, has suffered such heavy casualties, one can only imagine the price paid by other clans and ninjas."

Uchiha Ryosuke's explanation brought a look of surprise to Uchiha Fugaku's face.

He thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.

Then I thought of something else.

Everyone knows that Hiruzen Sarutobi is not the only high-ranking official in Konoha.

The other advisors, as well as Shimura Danzo, were all powerful figures capable of influencing the entire village's situation.

Moreover, behind Konoha, there is the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Fire.

When the war ends, some people will be rewarded and others will be punished.

Judging from the current situation, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is in charge, is probably in a precarious position.

They will inevitably be held accountable by the Daimyo's government in the Land of Fire.

"Even I didn't think of such a deep-seated issue; I never imagined he had considered things so far ahead..."

Fugaku Uchiha, snapping out of his thoughts, took another deep look at Ryosuke Uchiha.

Only at that moment did he realize that the young Uchiha clansman in front of him was...

Not only does he possess strength surpassing that of ordinary Uchiha, but he also has extraordinary insight and knowledge.

"It is truly an honor for the Uchiha clan to have such an outstanding member..."

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was beginning to look at Ryosuke Uchiha with newfound respect and secretly admired him...

Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly spoke up again: "I made a bet with Namikaze Minato-senpai."

"Ok?"

Fugaku Uchiha was stunned again, turning to look at him in surprise.

"We'll make a bet on who gets the most kills on the battlefield..."

Whoever wins, the winner can make one offer to the loser.

Uchiha Ryosuke continued speaking on his own, while Uchiha Fugaku listened silently without interrupting him.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui, who had been listening to the conversation between the two from a short distance away, also slowed down.

He turned around and came to stand beside the two of them.

"Your bet with Minato-senpai?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Ryosuke with curiosity.

"He lost."

"I told him that if the Third Hokage were to die after the war..."

If the decision is made to pass the Hokage position to him, then he must relinquish his claim to the Hokage title.

Uchiha Ryosuke's revival plan has begun.

At this moment, he didn't mind revealing these secrets to the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

And it was known to Shisui Uchiha, the former "strongest Uchiha".

As expected, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku heard him say that.

Even the several Uchiha clan experts who were listening nearby were all slightly moved.

The way Fugaku and Shisui looked at Ryosuke Uchiha was even more complex and profound.

At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly revealed a bright and sunny smile as he looked at the group:

Do you think I'm qualified to be Hokage?

He asked the question very seriously and sincerely, not at all like he was joking.

These words once again left Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and the others stunned and surprised.

"You predicted in advance that the Third Hokage would most likely step down after the war..."

And is Minato considered the most likely successor to the Third Hokage as the Fourth Hokage?

Fugaku Uchiha frowned deeply, staring at Ryosuke Uchiha with an incredulous expression as he muttered to himself.

Immediately following, Uchiha Shisui added his analysis:

"So you made a bet with Minato-senpai that whoever lost would give up the position of Hokage?"

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled confidently: "That's right, and I won."

Uchiha Ryosuke's words were completely unexpected by everyone.

So much so that after he said those things...

Everyone, including Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, found it unbelievable.

They had never even seriously considered such a thing.

But Uchiha Ryosuke not only thought that way, he had already begun to make plans.

What exactly is inside his head?

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha's gaze toward Ryosuke Uchiha underwent even more complex changes.

For the first time, he felt that he couldn't quite see through the rising star of the Uchiha clan in front of him.

They're not much younger than me.

Chapter 48 Uchiha Madara!

However, at this moment, Fugaku Uchiha felt as if he were a complete novice in front of Ryosuke Uchiha.

Compared to the maturity and composure of the other party, he seemed so naive and incompetent. For the first time, he felt unworthy of the position of clan leader.

Of course, Fugaku Uchiha wouldn't show these inner thoughts on his face.

He gave Uchiha Ryosuke another deep look and took a deep breath.

"Although your actions were indeed surprising..."

"Especially the fact that he could beat someone like Minato in a bet, that truly seems unbelievable to me."

"However, Ryosuke..."

Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned meaningful: "Things are probably not as simple as you think. There are some things you don't understand."

His hesitant and ambiguous words left those unaware of the truth completely confused.

But Uchiha Ryosuke was no naive fool who didn't know the truth.

He gave Uchiha Shisui, who remained silent beside him, a deep look, then smiled slightly: "We'll see how things go then."

"I've heard that Lord Orochimaru, who commands troops on the western front, is also very popular and respected in the village..."

Perhaps my judgment is wrong, and it's possible that the Third Hokage chose Orochimaru as his successor instead of Minato.

He shrugged casually, ending the conversation.

However, those words had already left a deep impression on the hearts of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Tetsuka, Uchiha Inahisa, Uchiha Yasho, and others.

At this moment, each of these elite members of the Uchiha clan had different thoughts in their hearts.

The Uchiha clan established a distinguished record in this war.

But are they really qualified to compete for the position of Fourth Hokage?

...

In a jungle on the border of the Land of Fire.

As news of the war's end spread, various combat units began to gradually withdraw from the battlefield and return to Konoha.

At that very moment, Kakashi and Rin Nohara were also preparing to return to the village.

"Isn't Minato-sensei coming to meet us?"

Nohara Rin asked curiously.

"He had other tasks, so he told us to go back first and regroup with the other troops to return to the village."

Kakashi answered.

"The war is finally over... It was really hard-won. It's just a pity that Obito won't be able to see this ending."

Nohara Rin was a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Nohara Rin thought he was also moved by her words, so she walked over.

"do not come!"

Kakashi reached out and stopped Nohara Rin.

Rin Nohara was startled by Kakashi's sudden shout before she could react.

The sky was filled with kunai, which rained down like a torrential downpour, shooting rapidly toward them.

"Be careful!!"

Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly as he quickly drew his broken short sword, White Fang, and began to fend off the barrage of kunai.

However, at that moment, several members of the Mist Shadows suddenly appeared behind them, silently infiltrating their rear.

Just as Kakashi was struggling to cope with the torrential rain of kunai, an enemy took the opportunity to control Nohara Rin, who was hiding behind Kakashi.

"what--"

Nohara Rin had barely uttered a cry when she was completely subdued by the enemy and quickly taken away.

"Lin!!"

Kakashi noticed the commotion and turned to help, but was stopped by two Kirigakure ANBU members.

After a fierce battle, Kakashi killed his opponent, but he was also injured.

Moreover, Nohara Rin has long since disappeared without a trace.

"Damn..."

Kakashi turned around and glanced at the vast, primeval forest ahead.

This place is still very far from Konoha.
