Old man Uchiha Shinin proudly boasted to Uchiha Yuichiro: "Ahaha, according to what you said, this is something you've never seen before."

Elder Yuichiro held his forehead with his hand and said with relief: "I told you so. How come the Genin I arranged suddenly lost contact with me and ruthlessly abandoned me as an elder..."

"Six pairs of Sharingan in one night. If it were me, I would have rebelled on the spot."

Old man Xin Yin asked jokingly, "Now you don't blame me for driving your people away, do you?"

Uchiha Yuichiro waved his hands repeatedly and agreed: "You are right. This matter is too important to spread the information casually."

"The Genin in the study group...haha, I'm overthinking. They are absolutely loyal to Uchiha Yuu now. This kid is more meticulous than me. I don't need to worry about him."

"Hahaha, the future of the Uchiha family..."

After a long time, Uchiha Yuichiro finally calmed down. He looked at Uchiha Shinin and asked, "Uncle Shinin, besides informing me of this important event, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Uchiha Xinyin nodded: "Uchiha You wants to be the clan leader, I am here to persuade you to support him."

"Haven't you always supported Jing? Recently, you have placed your hopes on Shisui. Have you changed your goal?"

"Shisui is too young. Uchiha Yuu should take the job for ten years first, and then pass the position to Shisui. This way, the succession of the head of the Uchiha family will be stabilized in a stable way, with the strongest person taking the position, rather than the inheritance from father to son."

"I agree with you on this point. Moreover, Uchiha You can bring such great benefits to the family. It is natural for him to be the head of the family when Fugaku is old. He should not need my support, right?"

"He wants to be the patriarch within three years."

"Three years? How is that possible? This is too fast!!"

“So I need your strong support.”

"But what's the point of my support? The new clan leader must be stronger than Fugaku, or at least on the same level. He..."

Uchiha Yuichiro's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of something, and stammered, "He's only eighteen years old, has he awakened?"

"No, I don't have the Mangekyō Sharingan yet, so it will take three years."

"Hahahaha, even if he doesn't have it now, he's really arrogant. This kid is very confident, very good."

"Just express your opinion."

"Support him, of course I support him. I have disliked Fugaku for a long time."

"But uncle, our support alone is not enough. Even if all the children in the study group awaken their Sharingan, it's still not enough."

"I came here to ask you to join me, just to get your advice. Who do you think we should ask to join us next?"

"Of course it's Uchiha Ryunosuke."

"Him?" Uchiha Shinin frowned. Although this man was also a moderate elder, he was so stubborn that even he was a little afraid of him. Could he really convince him?

Uchiha Yuichiro smiled and explained: "Although Henghe is stubborn, he dotes on his only grandson the most. The child is now fourteen years old, but has not awakened the Sharingan..."

Uchiha Shinin suddenly realized that he had been in poor health in the past few years and had been indifferent to family affairs, and he really didn't know that the boy had not awakened the Sharingan until now.

With this as a breakthrough, and the shock of seeing six pairs of Sharingan in one night, it would be no problem to convince Uchiha Ryunosuke.

With the support of the two elders, it is enough to ensure the stable operation of the study group. Today's action can be said to have perfectly achieved its goal.

According to Uchiha You's plan, it would no longer be appropriate to do more exciting things next, but to wait for the Genin of the study group to grow, gradually absorb other young ninjas to join, and expand his influence.

The time for overthrowing Uchiha Fugaku is set for three years later. There is plenty of time and there is no need to rush.

Uchiha Yuichiro was cautious and suspicious by nature. He repeatedly pondered the strategy described by Xin Yin, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was just right.

He couldn't help but ask and found out that the person who formulated the three-year strategy was Uchiha You. He became more satisfied with his choice and more confident about the future.

This relatively smart elder said with emotion: "Since the death of old Patriarch Shimada, our Uchiha clan finally has a patriarch who is both capable of fighting and smart. It's really not easy."

Uchiha Shinin couldn't help but think of the previous clan leader Uchiha Madara, who was extremely powerful but not as smart as him with rich emotions.

He also said with emotion: "Yes, it is really not easy."

Thinking of the current Uchiha clan leader Fugaku, they both sighed and thought it would be better to have Uchiha Madara.

Although Uchiha Madara has a confused mind and cannot see the key points, and often acts on his emotions, he is really good at fighting and can really handle things.

When Madara was the clan leader, Tobirama Senju was very good at scheming, but he never schemed against the Uchiha clan, and everything was blocked by Uchiha Madara.

At that time, the Uchiha and Senju teamed up to be invincible in the ninja world. The family territory became Konoha Village, and the value of the real estate skyrocketed during the large-scale development.

The originally worthless wasteland was either turned into houses and shops, or reclaimed into fertile farmland. Family members were all wealthy landowners or landlords, and life was really comfortable during that time.

The Uchiha family had worked hard for thousands of years and had never experienced such a rich and comfortable life, so they collectively abandoned Uchiha Madara and were unwilling to follow him to leave the increasingly prosperous Konoha Village and start over in the wilderness.

But who could have imagined that without Uchiha Madara as the clan leader, the silver coin Senju Tobirama would set his sights on the Uchiha clan. Under the calculations of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan could no longer elect a clan leader who could represent the Uchiha clan.

Without a leader, such a big family could no longer unite as one, could no longer speak for itself, and was played around by Senju Tobirama.

The Second Hokage was a true politician who knew the distribution of interests and political suppression very well. Although the Uchiha clan was torn to pieces by him, all the Uchiha ninjas respected and feared him.

The Uchiha family was really convinced at that time. The most outstanding genius in the family, Uchiha Kagami, was recruited as a disciple by the Second Hokage. The reaction of the Uchiha family was envy and excitement, not humiliation.

At that time, the Uchiha clan was living a good life. Although they were always punished by the Second Hokage, their income and sense of security were extremely high. The clan members had no complaints and even got used to the current situation of having no clan leader.

If the Second Hokage could live ten more years, the Uchiha family would have a smooth transition, evolving from the most powerful family in Konoha Village to becoming the inseparable foundation of Konoha Village.

But things never happen as planned. When the Second Hokage was on a diplomatic mission to the Land of Lightning, he encountered a rebellion by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. After returning seriously injured, he handed over the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Third Hokage took the position in a hurry.

With the accidental death of Uchiha Kagami and the unbridled suppression of the Uchiha clan by the Third Hokage's group, the good days of the Uchiha clan were gone forever, and that's when the idea of ​​having a clan leader came into being.

Unfortunately, the clan leader who was carefully selected was not able to stand up, and everyone's life became even more difficult.

Although it has only been a few years, the idea of ​​changing the clan leader has been brewing in people's minds, but most people have not realized it yet.

Senior officials like Uchiha Yuichiro immediately recalled their innermost thoughts after hearing what old man Xin Yin said. They had no resistance to changing the clan leader. Their only concern was whether the younger Uchiha You would be suitable.

But through Uchiha Shinin's narration, he felt Uchiha You's wisdom and sophistication, as well as his amazing patience, and he no longer had any doubts.

It was just a new force led by young people, and he still had the final confirmation procedures to do. Yuichiro asked: "When can I meet with Uchiha Yu?"

"Tonight, let's go to You's house for dinner."

Uchiha Xinyin smiled, shook his head and said with emotion: "Alas, the old man is getting more and more relieved. Even a smart boy like you has been guessed clearly by him."

Uchiha Yuichiro: "..."

Old man Xin Yin sighed: "The fact that our Uchiha family can produce a Tobirama really makes me wonder whether I should laugh or cry."

Yuichiro laughed loudly, his excitement was beyond words, and he said happily: "Uncle Xin Yin, it is not a bad thing to have an Uchiha Tobirama. Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others deserve to experience what it feels like to be manipulated and feel uncomfortable all over, but unable to speak."

"Look at the shit they've done over the years. They have no sense of propriety. If they continue like this, something bad will happen to the Uchiha clan."

"Uchiha Yuu... Uchiha Tobirama... Very good, hehehe, I'm really looking forward to tonight's dinner."

…

In the absence of Danzo Shimura, the ninjutsu and tactics study meeting was held in the most remote place, but the Third Hokage was not old and feeble after all, and his two classmates were not the idle elders they later became.

After just a few days, they smelled something unusual.

Just as the old men of the Uchiha family were gathering, Mito Kado En was reporting the results of the investigation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I have confirmed through reliable intelligence channels that the Uchiha clan has gathered 129 Genin who have not awakened the Sharingan and conducted special training at their earliest ancestral training ground, which they named the 'Ninjutsu and Tactics Study Club'."

Xiaochun asked, "Is it true that there are no elite ninjas involved?"

Mitomon En replied: "I have confirmed that they are all abandoned Genin. None of them are in the mission team, and none of them are ninjas from the security department."

"In the first few days, the Uchiha Yashiro participated with a few chunins, but now they are no longer present. Everything has been handed over to a chunin named Uchiha Yuu to manage."

The Third Hokage asked, "What about this Uchiha Yuu?"

Mitomon En flipped through the information and read it out: "Uchiha You, born in Konoha in the 25th year, studied in the Ninja School for four years. He was always the top student in his grade, but he didn't have any particularly outstanding performance."

"After graduating from Konoha in the 35th year, he inherited his father's position and joined Fuchigami Kuniki's team. Two years later, when Fuchigami Jonin retired, he also withdrew from the mission team and joined the Security Department as a patrol ninja."

"In May of this year, Uchiha Yuu was expelled from the Security Department. In June, he passed the Chunin Examination and became a Chunin. It is suspected that he has opened the Sharingan, but there is no record of him using it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said doubtfully: "This information about Uchiha Yuu sounds ordinary. Why would the Uchiha family have a newly established…"

Mitomon En quickly reminded: "It's a ninjutsu and tactics study session."

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly continued, "Oh, it seems unreasonable to leave this study session to a mere chunin to manage."

Xiaochun said disdainfully: "Hiruzen, I think you think too much. They are just a group of low-level ninjas. Hand them over to a Chunin with some mission experience to learn some ninjutsu and mission skills. I hope they can survive longer in the war."

Mizuto Menen nodded, then shook his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "Yan, do you have a different opinion?"

"My initial thoughts were the same as Xiaochun's, but the Uchiha family's study club has only been established for a few days and it has caused quite a stir. I think we need to pay more attention to it and conduct a deeper investigation."

"Well, I think it's great that you can be so cautious. I'll leave this matter to you."

"Okay, but I didn't target the Uchiha family before. Everything has to start all over again. Besides, the situation is tense and we are short of manpower, so it will take a little longer."

"It would be great if Danzo was here. He has a good surveillance of the Uchiha Clan and it would be much easier for him to do this than it is for me."

"You have a point. Danzo needs more time to investigate that mysterious person. We previously only speculated that he used natural energy, but now that Orochimaru and Jiraiya have confirmed it, we must investigate it thoroughly."

"Yan, I'll have to trouble you for the time being. Please help me with this matter."

Mizuto Menen nodded and said no more.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Next, let's discuss placing spies in the Hidden Cloud Village."

Utatane Koharu took out a stack of information and began to talk: "Among the orphans collected from the Land of Fire, sixty have already passed the training. They have mastered the techniques of espionage and have also developed enough loyalty and sense of identity with Konoha Village."

"Starting tomorrow, they will enter the Land of Lightning from the coastline according to the arranged smuggling plan and wait for the new round of ninja selection by the Hidden Cloud Village."

The Third Hokage asked, "How many people are being trained as ninja seeds this time?"

"All sixty children are ninja seeds."

"The spy network of the civilian and noble classes in the Land of Lightning is complete. There are only a few spies in the Hidden Cloud Village who can successfully lurk there, and it is impossible to form an effective intelligence network."

Utatane Koharu said regretfully: "The Hidden Cloud Village is different from our Konoha Village. This ninja village is almost a pure ninja village. There are not many civilians. The few civilians are all members of the Yeyue family. There is no chance of infiltration at all."

"Many ninja spies have been selected to enter the Hidden Cloud Village, but the loss rate is too high. The training of the Hidden Cloud Ninja is simply life-threatening, and the battles are close to actual combat."

"The few ninjas who managed to survive have almost all rebelled again." Utatane Koharu couldn't help but sigh, then she gathered her spirits and continued, "So this time we strengthened the children's emotional and loyalty training, and also specially followed Hiruzen's suggestion to increase bond education, hoping to obtain more spies."

After hearing the report from Utatane Koharu, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction. He believed that with a bond with the spies, they would not choose to betray. As long as they persisted in planting such spy seeds, it would not take a few years to break through the intelligence black hole of the Hidden Cloud Village and get rid of the current intelligence dilemma.
