Chapter 240 – Shadows Move, Alliances Rise
Konohagakure – Uchiha Clan Compound, Central Council Hall
> "The Hyuga Clan actually abolished the Main Family and Branch Family system…"
Fugaku Uchiha, head of the Uchiha Clan, set down a mission report and allowed himself a rare smile.
> "The Fifth Hokage truly lives up to his name. To make the Hyuga bend without lifting a finger—remarkable."
---
> "Indeed!"
Beside him, Inari Uchiha spoke with open admiration:
> "For our clan to have produced the Fifth Hokage—Lord Uchiha Yuta—is a blessing earned over many lifetimes."
> "The Fifth Hokage… Lord Uchiha… he is the eternal god of the Uchiha Clan."
> "Once, we could only dream of standing this tall in Konoha. Now even the proud Hyuga are in awe of his divine power. It is only natural."
---
The elders around the table murmured in agreement.
> "The Fifth Hokage is far more far‑sighted than the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju… than the Second, Tobirama Senju… than the Third, Hiruzen Sarutobi… and even the Fourth, Minato Namikaze."
---
Their voices rose in pride and reverence.
For them, Uchiha Yuta was more than Hokage—he was the savior of their clan.
If not for him, the Uchiha would have perished on the night of their planned massacre, victims of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and their co‑conspirators, Mitokado Homura and Utatané Koharu.
Now?
Those very elders lay dead, their clans crushed, their schemes turned to ash.
---
Fugaku's smile faded into a hard expression as he looked around the room.
> "The coming Shinobi World War is our chance. Our Uchiha must show the world our true prestige."
> "Agreed!"
"Our forces are eager and ready!"
"We will carve the name of Uchiha into the battlefield itself!"
Among them, Inari Uchiha, Uchiha Tekka, and other senior officers nodded fiercely.
Since Uchiha Yuta took the mantle of Hokage, the Uchiha had become the undisputed First Clan of Konohagakure—and perhaps, of the entire shinobi world.
---
And it wasn't just them.
Across the village, the Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, and other clans stirred as well, hearing the news from the Hyuga Compound.
Shocked at first, they quickly began mustering their own elite, eager to seize glory in the coming storm.
After all, under the Fifth Hokage's new policies, the old chains were gone.
The Third Hokage's era of suppression was over.
Now, the stronger a clan proved itself, the greater the resources and influence it earned.
Every patriarch knew: now is the time to rise.
---
Konoha's Allied Forces Gather
Not only Konoha's native clans moved.
Within the Leaf's military district, newly arrived reinforcements were assembling—forces from across the shinobi world that had sworn loyalty to the Fifth Hokage.
The banners of Amegakure, Takigakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure flew side by side with Konoha's own.
Even the envoys of ancient lands like Rōran (Gulōran) stood ready.
---
> "The combined armies of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Otogakure have already moved to besiege Konoha."
A serious voice spoke, cold but resolute.
It belonged to Terumi Mei, the Fifth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist, standing tall among the foreign leaders gathered.
> "This time, we will not disappoint the Fifth Hokage—Lord Uchiha Yuta."
"We will show them our strength. Let Iwa, Kumo, and Oto pay a bloody price."
Her emerald eyes gleamed with a rare edge of anticipation.
---
> "Well said…"
The response came from Queen Sāra of Rōran, her tone fierce:
> "Whether it is Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Otogakure… or the likes of Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, or that masked man—Uchiha Obito—none can stop Lord Uchiha Yuta from uniting this world."
---
In this altered world, the Fifth Hokage had already exposed what once hid in shadow:
the Eye of the Moon Plan, the schemes of Uchiha Madara, the manipulations of Obito and Zetsu.
No longer myths, their plots were common knowledge.
Yes, Madara and Obito were terrifying… but so what?
Under the Fifth Hokage's banner, even the proudest Kage bent the knee.
Even A, the Fourth Raikage, and Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, had bowed and sworn fealty after tasting defeat.
---
> "Our Takigakure elite are ready!"
"The shinobi of Amegakure stand prepared!"
"Sunagakure's strike teams are in position!"
One after another, voices rose: Konan of the Hidden Rain, Chiyo of the Sand, the leaders of Takigakure and others.
Their words carried not desperation but confidence—confidence born from the shadow looming over them all:
The Fifth Hokage. Uchiha Yuta.
---
The storm was gathering.
The Hyuga had been freed.
The clans were united.
And beyond Konoha's walls, the world trembled at what was to come.

To be continued…
