Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 11 Elder, you've gone a bit too far!

As evening approached, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.

Yuki, who had just made a large purchase, arrived at his doorstep when a police officer suddenly landed on the ground in front of him.

"Uchiha Yuuki, Elder Setsuna wishes to see you."

Elder Shaka?

A hint of surprise flashed across Yuuki's face, but he said gently, "I understand!"

He considered meeting with Elder Chu Huo, and he also considered being personally invited by the clan leader.

Putting aside the blood disease, he is, after all, a member of the Three-Tomoe Clan!

To my utter surprise, the person who sent the invitation was Uchiha Setsuna.

Currently, the Uchiha clan is in a state of chaos, divided into doves, hawks, and several smaller factions.

The clan leader's lineage undoubtedly belongs to the dove faction, and Elder Chu Huo can be considered a dove faction.

Uchiha Setsuna was a true hawk. This elder was a ruthless person who dared to rebel with an armed force, and the target of his rebellion was the even more ruthless Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

However, Yuuki did not refuse to meet Uchiha Setsuna.

How could a gentle and egalitarian doctor like Dr. Uchiha refuse the elder of his clan?

This is such an unyielding will to succeed!

Moreover, the Uchiha clan plays a crucial role in his development plan.

Once you're associated with the 'Uchiha' surname in Konoha, you can never shake it off.

Once a member of the Uchiha clan, always a member of the Uchiha clan!

Besides, if you don't believe in a family with a long history, a strong financial foundation, and a bloodline, are you going to believe in old Deng who keeps spouting empty promises about "Naruto thinking"?

Are there really such mental illnesses?

Coincidentally, the family was falling apart, making it the perfect time to get involved.

The extreme Uchiha clans lack guidance and need a visionary leader!

Therefore, Yuuki's display of his awakened three-tomoe Sharingan at the hospital was not only a performance for Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also meant to reveal some of his potential to his clan.

He needs money, he needs more resources!

He's so eager to improve!

......

Nanga Shrine, the secret meeting place of the Uchiha clan.

During the Second Hokage's reign, Uchiha Setsuna rebelled and was captured, but was not executed and instead imprisoned in Konoha Prison.

With the Third Hokage ascending to power, it's unclear what agreement Hiruzen Sarutobi reached with the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Setsuna was released.

In return, one is not allowed to leave the Nanga Shrine unless there are special circumstances.

Several burning lamps hung from one of the eaves, illuminating the path leading to the house.

Yuki was led to Elder Setsuna's study.

He stepped into the room without fear.

The room was even darker and emptier, with a human silhouette vaguely visible sitting in the shadows.

"You are Uchiha Yuuki? The genius who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of nine?" The aged voice echoed in the empty house, and the powerful aura unique to rebels spread out.

Yuuki closed his eyes, then opened them again, and the three tomoe rotated neatly around his pupils.

"Hello, Elder Setsuna."

He greeted them politely, then closed his Sharingan and glanced around the room out of the corner of his eye, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Where are the other elders?"

Does the Three-Tomoe set have no prestige at all?

How many gold coins can a hawk like Old Deng generate?

"Ahem." The withered Elder Shana slowly emerged from the shadows: "That Chu Huo fellow is still on his way."

"It's just that this old man is quite curious about you and wanted to meet you beforehand. I've heard you're quite respected in the village?"

"No Uchiha has done better than you..."

Seeing this, Yuuki humbly said, "It's just a small contribution I made to the village."

"Is that so?" Setsuna stepped forward with a serious expression, her words cutting straight to the point. "I want to ask you, is it possible for the Uchiha clan to produce a Hokage?"

Yuuki frowned. He had just met Yuuki and she was already asking such a sensitive question.

Does he have a young heart despite his old age, and still want to rebel?

"I'm just an ordinary ninja academy student. I really don't know how to answer your question."

"I have always believed that only by gaining the approval of my comrades can I become a true Hokage."

"As long as the Will of Fire is carried out, a Hokage belonging to the Uchiha clan will surely be born in the future. That's my belief."

Elder Setsuna, lurking in the shadows, curled his lip and said insincerely, "Perhaps you are right! Rebellion might be a bit too hasty."

"The family is in turmoil, and is oppressed by Shimura Danzo from the outside."

It wasn't a matter of life or death.

However, if this continues, the Uchiha clan will inevitably become weaker and weaker!

The Uchiha clan desperately needs a Hokage to boost morale!

Elder Shana didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his attitude.

Ultimately, it was about finding a way out for the family.

Yuki shook his head. "You can trust the wisdom of future generations."

"The wisdom of later generations?" Elder Shana scoffed. "The family has been in disarray for nearly seven years, and not a single person is capable of shouldering great responsibilities!"

"If it weren't for my intervention, we wouldn't even have been able to appoint a clan leader!"

"Future generations may not be as good as I am!"

"We must take the initiative. The Uchiha clan is one of the founders of Konoha. Even if we had some conflicts with the First Hokage back then, it will not affect our Uchiha's Will of Fire."

The last four words were uttered almost through gritted teeth.

Yuuki wanted to laugh. A rebel leader talking so much about the 'Will of Fire' was simply alarmist.

Seeing the silent Yuuki, Elder Setsuna coughed twice.

"Yuuki-kun, if no one in the Uchiha clan takes a high-ranking position, they will eventually face a coup. You don't want the village and the clan to fight each other, do you?"

"Absolutely not! The clan and the village are united; there shouldn't be a fight!" Yuuki then asked, his face full of confusion, "What exactly does the elder mean?"

Elder Shana hesitated for a moment. He had been proud all his life, and to come up with such a strategy was truly a disgrace to his reputation in his later years!

He whispered, "You're about to be transferred to Tsunade's command, and the clan has a difficult task for you. You should know about Jinchuriki, right?"

"Elder Setsuna, what exactly do you want to do?" Yuuki's tone turned somewhat unfriendly.

"Don't misunderstand!" Elder Setsuna sneered: "The strength of a Jinchuriki should not be underestimated. If he were to combine with the Uchiha clan, the position of Hokage would be within his grasp."

"what?"

"Elder Setsuna, so you want to pursue Lady Uzumaki Mito? You want me to act as your matchmaker?"

Yuuki's eyes widened, and he feigned sudden realization, "Isn't your thinking a bit too extreme?! That's the widow of the First Lord!"

In an instant, his cunning and calculating features froze on his face.

Who is more extreme, you or me?

It's already annoying enough to come up with such a solution, and you're still coming up with random ideas!

He vehemently denied it, "Don't talk nonsense! What I meant was that when you were studying under Tsunade, you always paid attention to which Senju child received more attention!"

"Child of the Thousand Hands?"

"That's right!" Elder Setsuna said confidently. "Mito is getting old, and the next Jinchūriki will probably be selected from the Senju family!"

"Why can't we choose from the Uzumaki clan? Konoha and the Uzumaki clan have been allies for generations," Yuuki asked, puzzled.

"The Uzumaki and Senju are the true allies. The Third Hokage could not allow the Uzumaki clan to control the Jinchuriki! The Senju clan will not give up either, and will probably compromise by choosing Senju clan members as Jinchuriki!"

"I see." Seeing Elder Setsuna's satisfied expression with his analysis, Yuuki was already shaking his head inwardly.

This analysis was indeed as fierce as a tiger.

The birth of a Senju Jinchūriki is entirely logical.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't follow common sense!

The Uzumaki clan might control Jinchūriki? Then let them disappear!

It makes perfect sense for the stray members of the Uzumaki clan to become Jinchūriki, doesn't it?

Besides, was Mito Uzumaki really that selfless?

Would they transfer the Nine-Tails to a junior they favor?

"As long as you find out the Jinchuriki candidates, and the clan finds a suitable child, the combination of the two might just be enough to compete for the Hokage position!"

Okay! Okay!

Yuuki's eyes were a little dangerous. Instead of letting you, old man, rake in gold coins, you're already making empty promises?!

Before the plan even succeeds, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others will probably be in an uproar!

What are you, an Uchiha, doing getting involved with 'nuclear weapons'?

"This..." Yuuki looked troubled, as if he didn't know whether he should speak or not.

"Any other questions?" Setsuna wondered, recalling her own words.

Love for the village, the Will of Fire, cherishing comrades... it has all the essential elements!

"Where's the money?" Yushu rubbed his fingers together and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Money?" Setsuna was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter and pulled out a briefcase, teasing, "So, you admire the Will of Fire but also love money?"

Yuuki declared confidently, "I love the village, but that doesn't mean I can't love money!"

Don't be so extreme in your desire to stir up trouble!

This relieved Setsuna, who was standing nearby.

He loves the village and is shameless; he's a promising talent who can achieve great things, but unfortunately, he suffers from hematuria!

"Here's three million; I'm counting on you, Yuuki-kun!"

"For the peace of Konoha, for the glory of the Uchiha clan!"

It's not like you can't love your family, so don't be so extreme!
