Uchiha Makoto stood there sighing in distress, his face filled with deep concern for the future of the Uchiha clan.
He was very serious about building the image of someone who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Uchiha clan!
With such an image, it would be much easier to poach people from the Leaf in the future.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire quietly observed Uchiha Makoto’s expression.
The worried look on Uchiha Makoto’s face didn’t seem like an act.
He genuinely seemed to believe that the Uchiha clan would eventually…
be destroyed because of the Senju clan!
Obviously…
this wasn’t an act at all!
Because in the future…
If everything in this world followed the original storyline, then decades from now, the Uchiha clan really might be heading toward extinction!
The entire Uchiha clan would be slaughtered by Uchiha Itachi, leaving behind only his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke.
For a lone survivor to grow back into a forest, turning one person into an entire clan, was no simple task.
And Uchiha Sasuke wasn’t exactly doing his part either.
If he wanted to revive the entire Uchiha clan, shouldn’t he have done everything possible to build a harem?!
Instead, he married only Sakura.
Fine, so he didn’t build a harem!
But at the very least, he should have planted his seeds diligently.
Damn it…
He spent all day wandering around the shinobi world like a lonely ghost, completely neglecting the great undertaking of rebuilding the Uchiha clan.
He was satisfied with having only one daughter!
He didn’t even have a son!
And that daughter would probably be carried off by the yellow-haired brat from the Uzumaki clan…
According to the traditional customs of that little island country, women changed their surnames to their husband’s surname after marriage.
And naturally, the children they gave birth to would follow the same surname.
The Uchiha clan from the original story really was doomed!
However…
Uchiha Sasuke was a pitiful victim, so he couldn’t be blamed too harshly.
The greatest culprit was still Uchiha Itachi!
That weasel…
It seemed that no one had ever taught him what a clan was, what parents and family were, or what it meant to distinguish friend from foe…
Hmm…
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that no one really had taught him any of those things.
When Uchiha Itachi was only four years old, his so-called “cowardly” father, Uchiha Fugaku, had already dragged him onto the battlefield to get his first taste of killing.
In an environment that could only be described as hellish, the fact that he managed to survive was honestly quite remarkable…
After all, on a battlefield, kunai and shuriken had no eyes.
Even though Uchiha Itachi was Uchiha Fugaku’s eldest son, with a noble status and elite Uchiha shinobi secretly following him as bodyguards, there was still no guarantee that an accident wouldn’t happen…
Nawaki had been killed by explosive tags, after all.
There were simply too many accidents on a battlefield!
His deadbeat father, Uchiha Fugaku, never gave Uchiha Itachi any psychological guidance either.
The moment he saw that Uchiha Itachi had awakened the Sharingan, he became so delighted that he completely forgot that Uchiha Itachi had awakened his Sharingan after personally witnessing the death of a comrade…
He simply left him to grow on his own and occasionally used the glory of the clan to emotionally manipulate Uchiha Itachi.
Hmph!
At the very least, that old bastard Sarutobi Hiruzen would praise Uchiha Itachi…
saying that he possessed the mindset of a Hokage despite his young age.
With Uchiha Itachi’s naturally grim and embittered personality, unique to the Uchiha clan, combined with all sorts of other factors…
Uchiha Itachi had already begun contemplating the relationship between the clan and the village at an age when he was still young enough to be playing in the mud and peeing his pants.
And what exactly was the so-called mindset of a Hokage?
It was damn well the Hokage’s position!
Uchiha Fugaku was still smugly pleased with himself, thinking that his son possessed the makings of a Hokage!
But Uchiha Itachi’s position—and even his very loyalties—had already become warped.
There was nothing more to discuss!
Of course…
Everything that happened to the Uchiha clan in the future should ultimately be traced back to what was happening right now!
Was Uchiha Madara really at fault?
All he had wanted was to “live and die together” with Senju Hashirama, to realize the ideal they had sworn to pursue together as children and bring peace to the shinobi world!
This was all the fault of that inherently evil Senju Tobirama!
Senju Tobirama had single-handedly created anti-Uchiha-ism from the very beginning of the Leaf’s founding!
And that was why, in the future, Uchiha revivalism would flourish within the Uchiha clan!
The Uchiha clan had suffered systematic oppression from the Leaf!
…..
“Makoto, you’re worrying too much!”
“Your Uchiha clan is a Bloodline Clan that has been passed down through the shinobi world for a thousand years…”
“Even the Senju clan can’t make your Uchiha clan go extinct!”
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire still wore a warm smile as he gently tried to reassure Uchiha Makoto.
What he said was indeed true.
The Senju clan hadn’t managed to destroy the Uchiha clan in a thousand years.
And now there was still Uchiha Madara.
If he wanted to preserve the Uchiha clan, there were plenty of ways he could do so.
After all, Uchiha Madara simply couldn’t defeat Senju Hashirama in a direct confrontation.
Against the other members of the Senju clan, however, he completely overwhelmed them.
At worst, he could specifically target the other members of the Senju clan and kill them until Senju Hashirama finally compromised—”If the Senju clan doesn’t deploy Senju Hashirama, then the Uchiha clan won’t deploy Uchiha Madara either.”
Remove Senju Hashirama from the equation.
The only one left would be the mere Senju Tobirama.
No matter how powerful he was individually, he couldn’t give the Senju clan an overwhelming advantage against the Uchiha clan.
In fact…
for the Uchiha clan, this situation could even be described as an advantage on their side.
The Uchiha clan’s Sharingan was naturally suited to awakening in the cruel and harsh environment of the Warring States Period.
The harsher the living conditions, the stronger the Uchiha clan would become.
This was an advantage the Senju clan could never catch up with.
Moreover, the Uchiha clan’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan could itself unleash two extremely terrifying ocular techniques—Izanagi and Izanami!
Izanagi was an ocular technique that displayed the Uchiha clan’s extreme Yin Release.
Its activation conditions were extremely demanding.
At the cost of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it possessed the formidable power to distort and rewrite reality.
Put simply, it was a resurrection token, and if used properly, it could even function as a group resurrection token!
Izanami was similarly costly to use, requiring the sacrifice of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
When activated during a battle against an enemy, simply making eye contact could pull the enemy into a genjutsu space.
The enemy would remain trapped there until they recognized their own mistakes and faced reality; otherwise, they would remain trapped in the genjutsu space forever…
Its effect could practically be described as a miniature Infinite Tsukuyomi!
With these two ultimate trump cards of forbidden techniques…
how could the Uchiha clan possibly lose?!
Even if Senju Tobirama had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could easily be caught off guard and killed on their first encounter!
…..
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire continued reassuring Uchiha Makoto, analyzing the pros and cons for him.
But…
Those seemingly comforting words were actually fanning the flames!
How could the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan possibly abandon their thousand-year feud and shake hands?!
They had to fight!
They absolutely had to fight!
I want to see blood flowing like a river!
The best outcome would be for Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama to fight until heaven and earth were overturned, until they both died together!
If you two bastards don’t die, how am I supposed to sleep peacefully?!
