Chapter 20: prophecy

“Alas, I hope the Clan never has to use this escape route, otherwise, who knows how many people will have to sacrifice themselves for it.”

Uchiha Raimon sighed, “It was so hard for both sides to let go of their hatred, and now they’re fighting again!”

“Could it be that even a God of Shinobi like Senju Hashirama can’t restrain his own clansmen from letting go of hatred?”

Uchiha Raimon became a bit melancholic for a moment.

It was peace they all yearned for, yet now they were breaking it with their own hands; it was truly unbelievable.

Regarding this.

Uchiha Tenxiu, only seven years old, shook his head like a little adult, looking helpless, and sighed, “My Elder Raimon, why don’t you understand?”

“Look at the situation now; you’ve already been killed once by them, yet you’re still considering their position. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse? Whether they break this peaceful understanding or not is their own concern.”

“What we need to do is always be prepared for battle, no matter when or where. Besides, compared to the Senju Clan, who call themselves the Clan of Love, we, the Uchiha Clan, are the true Clan of Love! For peace, we have already let go of thousands of years of inherited hatred and shaken hands, but those who truly cannot let go of hatred are precisely the Senju Clan themselves!”

At this point.

Uchiha Tenxiu paused, then continued, “No matter what, our Uchiha Clan has a clear conscience!”

Then.

Uchiha Tenxiu’s tone began to grow indignant, “And look at Senju Hashirama, that so-called God of Shinobi. He talks a good game, but in reality? The things he’s done are simply despicable!”

“He talks about mutual understanding, but he doesn’t understand our Uchiha Clan at all, allowing his younger brother, Senju Tobirama, to do all sorts of outrageous things! Even though he knew Senju Tobirama was deliberately creating conflict, he still unhesitatingly accepted the Hokage position.”

“He talks about peace, yet he distributed all the Tailed Beasts, these weapons of war, to other countries. Just you wait, when the time comes, our Uchiha Clan and the Konoha Ninja on the battlefield will surely be beaten senseless by their Tailed Beasts!”

Uchiha Tenxiu pointed at the Hokage building, shrugging his shoulders and speaking with utter disdain.

“Not to mention, they clearly agreed to give this Hokage position to the Uchiha Clan initially, but his younger brother, Senju Tobirama, deliberately used underhanded tactics, bribing and winning over other minor clans with benefits, transforming the Hokage, which was established by two clans, into a Hokage supported by everyone to be considered a true Hokage.”

“What kind of nonsense is this? Originally, two clans with a thousand-year feud were reconciling under a noble and great ideal, yet he pulled off such a conspiracy. It seems like he gained an advantage, but in reality, he directly left endless, sickening darkness in the Village. Sooner or later, Senju Tobirama’s actions will bring a huge backlash to his Senju family!”

“Ptooey!” Uchiha Tenxiu made a spitting motion towards the Hokage building.

“Not to mention, this scoundrel previously incited Elder Uchiha Ming to betray your whereabouts, setting up an ambush and assassination against you. In short, they never intended to reconcile, so Lord Raimon, we must remain vigilant and prepare in advance! Otherwise, it will be too late once the other side is prepared!”

“You’re right! We certainly cannot relax our guard, but for now, Konoha has Senju Hashirama, the God of Shinobi. We can only endure and prepare for other avenues of survival!”

Uchiha Raimon acknowledged this point.

Unfortunately, he understood too late now; his severely injured body could only last a few more years.

Otherwise, he would definitely take action himself.

Even at the risk of death, he would expose these matters and let everyone see Tobirama’s treachery.

But for now, he could only buy time for the younger generation!

“As for the so-called fire will, it’s simply a continuous deception of naive people like us, the Uchiha. I estimate that when they themselves become Hokage, they won’t bother with this selection method anymore! They probably won’t even notify our Uchiha Clan and will just directly announce the Hokage candidate.”

“What, you mean they won’t even pretend anymore? And other clans will accept such a thing happening?”

Uchiha Raimon felt it was a bit surreal; he still thought the probability of this happening was very low, too incredible.

Uchiha Tenxiu spoke with increasing certainty, “Just you wait and see! The position of Second Hokage will definitely still be snatched by someone from the Senju Clan! And it will be by designation. There will be no need for selection by members of other clans at all!”

“As for saying that the Hokage needs everyone’s approval and so on, that’s simply nonsense! All other clans are nothing more than irrelevant spectators; they have no substantive say whatsoever.” Uchiha Tenxiu said with disdain, as if filled with contempt and mockery for the other clans.

Uchiha Tenxiu continued, “However, since they chose the path where the Hokage must be approved by everyone, they must now bear the bitter consequences. This is their own choice; they cannot blame others.”

Uchiha Tenxiu’s words revealed a sense of confidence and arrogance, as if he cared nothing for the opinions of other clans. He even mocked other clans, believing their existence was merely for show, utterly meaningless.

Honestly, for the Uchiha Clan, if it weren’t for the constant existence of the Senju Clan as their sworn enemy.

Ninety percent of the Ninja World’s clans would have already been wiped out by the Uchiha Clan.

But precisely, the Senju Clan, this troublemaker, no matter what the Uchiha Clan tried to do, would always stand up and resist.

Yet they spoke of understanding, love, and peace.

It was simply nonsensical.

Like lunatics.

Later on.

What then?

The result of helping other clans fight against the Uchiha was that their own clan was wiped out first by the clans they had helped.

Speaking of which.

According to the original plot, the Uchiha Clan seemed to have survived a few decades longer than the Senju Clan!

Hmm! Most of the years the Uchiha Clan lived easily were spent opposing some of the Village’s decisions.

This adversarial relationship didn’t lead to their destruction.

Yet, they chose to ease relations with Konoha.

A few years later, they were wiped out.

It was truly too laughable.

Here.

Ever since Uchiha Tenxiu subtly guided Uchiha Raimon’s thoughts from Konoha Village to outside the Village, Uchiha Raimon’s attention began to disperse. He no longer focused his inner thoughts on Konoha Village’s internal affairs, hoping for peace between the Clan and Konoha Ninja Village as before.

To further increase the investment.

Uchiha Tenxiu decided to subtly reveal some internal dynamics of Konoha Village to Uchiha Raimon.

The purpose of doing this was, on one hand, to solidify Uchiha Raimon’s convictions, making him trust his judgment even more.

On the other hand, it was also to let Uchiha Raimon witness firsthand the true face of Konoha Ninja Village, this newly established place.

It had actually begun to become dirty and gradually murky.

Under Uchiha Tenxiu’s skillful verbal manipulation.

Elder Uchiha Raimon abandoned all hope and began to constantly discuss matters of leaving the Village with Uchiha Tenxiu.
