Konoha's Root.
In the dim, secret chamber, a pair of sinister, bright eyes gazed at the intelligence scroll in hand. After a long silence, a hoarse, mocking laughter echoed through the room.
"Hehe, Hiruzen Sarutobi, you've given him a cheap victory. While the external threats to the Leaf Village are gradually stabilizing, the Uchiha Clan within the village is a major troublemaker."
Tobirama Danzo, muttering to himself, suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes when he mentioned the Uchiha Clan. He absolutely would not allow such a terrifying and threatening noble family to exist within the village.
The Uchiha Clan is too strong!
"Orochimaru, I hope during this period of silence, you understand that the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan cannot be allowed to grow too powerful."
At that moment, Tobirama Danzo laughed coldly, his heart filled with dread for these two powerful noble families.
The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan, the two major noble families of the Leaf Village, not only possess immense power but are also bloodline families. At the same level, a bloodline ninja can fight two ninjas of the same rank and still not lose.
In the original anime, Elder Chiyo of the Sand Village once said solemnly, 'When facing a Sharingan user one-on-one, run away; when facing two, aim for the back of the heart.'
Elder Chiyo, who was of the same generation as the Third Hokage and had experienced countless battles, knew this well. This statement clearly shows the strength of bloodline ninjas, especially the Uchiha Clan, known as the first noble family of the ninja world.
At the same level, an elite chuunin from the Uchiha Clan, with the Sharingan activated, can single-handedly kill an ordinary elite chuunin and face two elite chuunin of the same level, which is quite terrifying.
If it were genin and chuunin, it wouldn't matter much, as any major ninja village could train more with enough money. However, jounin are the foundation of each village and are not easily lost.
Uchiha Clan's territory.
Although the Uchiha Clan's territory, relocated to a remote area, is several times larger than before, it is clearly isolated by the surrounding ancient forests.
In a grand house within the clan's core area, the sound of a baby crying echoed.
"Greetings, Clan Head, greetings, Clan Head's wife."
In the living room, Uchiha Yoru respectfully bowed to Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, who was pouring tea for the two of them.
"Hehe, Yoru, you're too polite."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled and nodded as she poured tea, then apologized, "Sorry, Sasuke is still young and a bit noisy."
At that moment, Uchiha Mikoto, looking like a housewife, explained the faint sound of a child crying from within the house, while Fugaku, as the clan head, smiled.
"Hehe, according to the clan's genealogy, you should call Mikoto 'Big Sister.'"
Uchiha Fugaku, usually stern, rarely joked and smiled. Seeing this, Mikoto's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, while Yoru smiled.
"Big Sister, Clan Head."
Fugaku's intention was to pull Yoru closer. He naturally wouldn't refuse this gesture, and Yoru's heart was filled with excitement and gratitude.
Finally! He had finally entered the core of the clan's power.
Ninjas playing politics? To play politics, you need the strength to participate, just like in his previous life.
The difference is that in this ninja world, personal strength is the most important. Without the strength of a jounin, you cannot participate at all.
Uchiha Yoru knew the reason for his treatment. One was his two-tomoe Sharingan. At fifteen, he was already a solid elite chuunin. With the advancement of his bloodline, becoming a jounin in the future was not a problem.
For ordinary ninjas, the process from elite chuunin to jounin is long. Even a special jounin requires a long time to hone, and some may never achieve it in their lifetime. Take Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi, for example, who became chuunin at thirteen and twelve, respectively, but it took twelve years of training for one to become a jounin and the other a special jounin.
For bloodline ninjas, the awakening or advancement of their bloodline at this critical moment brings a comprehensive improvement, which is the difference.
Others need years of training, while the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan can shorten this time with its awakening or advancement.
"Hehe, Yoru has excellent talent. In the future, I hope you can help Itachi a lot."
The true intention was revealed. Uchiha Fugaku, with a full smile, finally showed his purpose. The genealogy relationship of big brother and big sister? This could go back generations. Why not say they are from the same ancestor?
However, Yoru, hearing this, smiled humbly, "If the Clan Head doesn't mind, I dare not refuse."
Seeing the humble and smooth young man, Fugaku smiled in satisfaction and nodded in approval. No wonder he could gain the trust of Orochimaru.
Both sides were now bound by mutual interests. This 'Big Sister' title meant that Yoru was now part of the Clan Head's faction, giving him a powerful backer within the clan. In return, the cost was taking on a disciple.
Just like the relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Minato Namikaze.
Now, Yoru is Orochimaru's disciple. If Uchiha Itachi were to become Yoru's disciple?
Hehe, since Itachi couldn't become Orochimaru's disciple, being a grand-disciple would be good too. This way, they would also have a layer of the Hokage's lineage.
Fugaku, seeing the young man's smooth and polished behavior, smiled in approval. Yoru, on the other hand, was secretly relieved.
It was like wanting a pillow when you're sleepy. He was worried about his status after Orochimaru's betrayal, as it would certainly affect him.
But with Itachi, it would be different. He didn't care about the Leaf Village, but he wanted his influence within the Uchiha Clan to remain untouched.
With Itachi as his disciple, he would naturally be associated with Orochimaru's faction.
Both the young and the old foxes smiled, each thinking they had the upper hand. One was using his power to pave the way for his son, while the other was using his foresight to pave the way for himself.
"Hehe, I'll go call Itachi over."
On the side, the gentle Uchiha Mikoto, hearing this, smiled and nodded at the two of them.
Watching Uchiha Mikoto turn to leave, Yoru, with a smile on his face, had a sharp look in his eyes.
Uchiha Mikoto, the daughter of Elder Tachibana, may seem like a gentle housewife, but Elder Tachibana is a hawk. And this Big Sister is not a simple person. Before marriage and childbirth, she was an elite ninja in the clan, an elite jounin with three tomoe.
