Makoto Uchiha stood there, sighing and beating his breast, his face wearing a deep expression of worry for the future of the Uchiha Clan.
Makoto Uchiha was dead serious about crafting a persona of someone utterly devoted to the Uchiha Clan!
With this persona, it would be much more convenient to undermine Konoha in the future.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire quietly observed Makoto Uchiha’s expression.
The worried look on Makoto Uchiha’s face didn’t seem feigned.
He genuinely seemed to believe that the Uchiha Clan would meet its demise in the future because of the Senju Clan!
Obviously, it wasn’t feigned!
Because in the future…
If everything in this world followed the plot of the original story, the Uchiha Clan really would head toward destruction in a few decades!
The entire Uchiha Clan would be slaughtered by Itachi Uchiha, leaving only his younger brother, Sasuke.
For a single seedling to grow back into a forest and rebuild an entire clan by himself was no easy task.
And Sasuke wasn’t particularly enterprising in this regard.
If he wanted to revive the Uchiha Clan, he didn’t even try to build a harem!
He only married one woman, Sakura.
Even if he didn’t build a harem, at the very least, he should have been diligent about sowing his seeds!
Dammit, he wandered around the Ninja World like a lost soul all day, neglecting the most important matter of the Uchiha Clan.
He was satisfied with having just one daughter!
He didn’t even father a son!
And that daughter would probably be lured away by that little blonde kid from the Uzumaki family.
According to traditional customs, a woman changes her surname to her husband’s after marriage.
Needless to say, any children she had would follow suit.
In the original story, the Uchiha Clan was truly doomed sooner or later!
However, Sasuke was a pitiful victim, so one couldn’t be too harsh on him.
The biggest executioner was still Itachi Uchiha!
That weasel…
it seemed no one had ever taught him what a clan was, what parents and relatives were, or how to distinguish between friend and foe.
Well, come to think of it, indeed no one ever had.
When Itachi Uchiha was only four years old, his “cowardly” father, Fugaku Uchiha, dragged him onto the battlefield to witness slaughter and taste blood.
Frankly, it was a miracle he even survived such a hellish environment.
After all, on the battlefield, Kunai and Shuriken had no eyes.
Even though Itachi Uchiha was the eldest son of Fugaku Uchiha, holding an exalted status with elite Uchiha shinobi acting as bodyguards in the shadows, it was still hard to guarantee that no accidents would happen.
Even Nawaki was blown to pieces by an Explosive Tag; there were simply too many variables on the battlefield!
His deadbeat father, Fugaku Uchiha, never gave Itachi Uchiha any psychological counseling either.
Seeing Itachi Uchiha awaken the Sharingan, he was so overjoyed that he lost his head.
He completely forgot that Itachi Uchiha’s Sharingan had awakened because he witnessed the death of his companion.
He simply left him to his own devices, occasionally using the clan’s glory to gaslight Itachi Uchiha.
Hmph!
At least that old geezer Hiruzen Sarutobi knew to praise Itachi Uchiha for having the mind of a Hokage at such a young age.
Coupled with the Uchiha Clan’s characteristic bitter and brooding temperament, and various other factors, Itachi Uchiha was already contemplating the relationship between the clan and the village at an age when he should have been playing in the mud.
And what was the mind of a Hokage?
It was the Hokage’s stance!
Fugaku Uchiha had even gloated, thinking his son had the makings of a Hokage!
Once Itachi Uchiha’s stance and loyalty were warped, there was no point in discussing the rest!
Of course…
Every tragedy that would befall the Uchiha Clan in the future could be traced back to the present!
Was Madara Uchiha in the wrong?
He merely wanted to achieve the dream of peace in the Ninja World that he had shared with Hashirama Senju since childhood!
This was all the fault of the naturally evil Tobirama Senju!
Tobirama Senju had single-handedly established anti-Sem—cough, anti-Uchihaism right at the founding of Konoha!
That was why Uchiha restorationism would flourish within the Uchiha Clan in the future!
The Uchiha Clan was subjected to systemic oppression by Konoha!
“Makoto, you are being too tense!” “Your Uchiha Clan is a bloodline clan that has survived in the Ninja World for thousands of years.
As long as you Uchiha give up your illusions, recognize reality, and fight back!” “Even the Senju Clan cannot possibly bring about the extinction of your Uchiha Clan!” The Daimyo of the Land of Fire still wore a gentle smile, warmly comforting Makoto Uchiha.
What he said was indeed true.
As long as the Uchiha Clan abandoned its illusions, recognized reality, and continued to fight!
Then the Uchiha Clan could certainly escape the fate of extinction.
Especially Madara Uchiha…
If he wanted to preserve the Uchiha Clan, he had plenty of ways.
After all, Madara Uchiha simply couldn’t beat Hashirama Senju in a head-on fight; against any other Senju clan members, he was a force of absolute, one-sided slaughter.
At worst, he could have targeted and killed other Senju clan members until Hashirama Senju was forced to compromise, agreeing that “if the Senju Clan does not deploy Hashirama Senju, the Uchiha Clan will not deploy Madara Uchiha.” Take Hashirama Senju out of the equation.
The rest was merely Tobirama Senju.
No matter how powerful he was individually, he could not establish a fundamental advantage over the Uchiha Clan.
In fact, for the Uchiha Clan, they could say the odds were entirely in their favor in such a scenario.
The Uchiha Clan’s Sharingan was naturally suited to being awakened in a cruel and harsh environment like the Warring States Period.
The harsher the environment, the stronger the Uchiha Clan became—an advantage the Senju Clan could never catch up to.
Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan itself could unleash two extremely terrifying Genjutsu—Izanagi and Izanami!
Izanagi was an ocular jutsu that expressed the absolute limit of the Uchiha Clan’s Yin Release.
The conditions for its activation were harsh, requiring the sacrifice of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan in exchange for the power to warp and rewrite reality.
To put it simply, it was a revival token, and if used correctly, a group-effect revival token!
Izanami also came at a steep cost, requiring the sacrifice of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
When used in battle, just a single moment of eye contact could pull the enemy into an illusionary space.
Unless the enemy recognized their mistakes and faced reality, they would be trapped in that illusionary space until they died.
Its effect was practically a mini Infinite Tsukuyomi!
With these two ultimate insurance-policy Kinjutsu, how could the Uchiha Clan lose!
Even if Tobirama Senju mastered the Flying Thunder God, he could easily be caught off guard and killed on their first encounter!
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire kept comforting Makoto Uchiha, analyzing the pros and cons for him.
But…
While these words sounded like comfort, they were actually fanning the flames!
How could you, the Uchiha and Senju clans, cast aside a thousand years of blood feud and shake hands to make peace?
You have to fight!
An all-out clash is a must!
I want to see rivers of blood!
It would be best if Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju fought until the heavens collapsed and both perished!
If you two monsters don’t die, how can I sleep at night!
