Fusing the First Hokage's cells greatly enhanced Uchiha En's vitality and Chakra, translating to an increase of 400 points for each stat.
This massive increase allowed Uchiha En to jump directly from Level 48 to Level 57, an increase of 9 levels.
Uchiha En's current strength has undoubtedly reached the Kage-level, and he possesses Kage-level power even without using the Mangekyo Sharingan.
If he uses the Mangekyo Sharingan, he should be among the top tier of Kage-level experts, certainly no weaker than the Third Hokage, Third Raikage, or Minato Namikaze.
If the current Uchiha En were to encounter Kitsuchi again, Uchiha En has absolute confidence in winning the battle. If he uses his Mangekyo Dojutsu, Uchiha En could even kill him.
Moreover, Uchiha En is confident that once he becomes more familiar with the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, even Jiraiya in Sage Mode might not be able to defeat him.
Uchiha En's strength can now definitely rank in the top three in Konoha. The Ninja World ultimately respects strength, and with this leap in power, some of Uchiha En's plans have changed.
Nevertheless, no matter what, he must first take over the Third Squad of the Police Force to join the high ranks of the Uchiha Clan.
After Uchiha Mei returned to the Village, he began preparing for this matter.
In Uchiha Mei's opinion, Uchiha En forced Kitsuchi to retreat single-handedly during the Battle of Mount Kikyo. Looking across the entire Uchiha Clan, no one except the Clan Head should be stronger than him.
Purely based on strength, Uchiha En is more than qualified to take the position of Captain of the Third Squad of the Police Force.
As for the issues of age and seniority, they ceased to be a problem the moment Uchiha En forced Kitsuchi to retreat.
The dove faction also agreed to Uchiha En taking over the Third Squad.
However, the Third Squad currently only has 14 clansmen remaining; including Uchiha Mei, the Captain, there are only 15 people.
Such a small number of people cannot support the Third Squad. Uchiha Mei intends to resolve this problem before handing the Third Squad over to Uchiha En.
He doesn't want to hand over a mess to a junior like Uchiha En.
Naturally, the hawk faction is aware of Uchiha Mei's recent actions, but they haven't made any moves.
The authority of the Uchiha Clan and the authority of the Police Force are generally considered separate.
To interfere with internal matters of the Third Squad, only members of the Third Squad can act.
Within the Third Squad, the only person qualified to compete for the Captain position is Uchiha Aya.
Uchiha Aya is a descendant of the Uchiha Chiri branch. She has no interest in vying for power and only likes researching Genjutsu, so the Captain position would be a burden to her.
Furthermore, Uchiha Aya is also a member of the dove faction. Whether she serves as the Captain of the Third Squad or Uchiha En does, it makes little difference to the hawk faction.
As for Uchiha Fugaku, he is eager for Uchiha En to take the position immediately.
Uchiha Fugaku needs to maintain the balance of the Uchiha Clan. Currently, because the Village released Uchiha Setsuna, the hawk faction is gaining momentum.
Having Uchiha En, who forced a Kage-level expert to retreat, become the new Squad Captain can effectively suppress the hawk faction's momentum.
Uchiha En had somewhat guessed the calculations of the Uchiha Clan's high ranks, but he didn't care. As the saying goes, strength is sovereign in the Ninja World, and currently, he is the strongest in the Uchiha Clan.
If he cannot obtain what he wants through normal means, Uchiha En does not mind using his strength to suppress others.
Coupled with the Skill he just obtained from the Level 50 gold gift box, Uchiha En is brimming with confidence.
Perhaps because this reward was for Level 50, the Skill granted is, in Uchiha En's opinion, a godly skill comparable to Teleportation.
Skill Name: Annihilation
Skill Type: Active Skill
Skill Effect: Activating this Skill during an attack grants the next attack the power of Annihilation, doubling the power of any Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Taijutsu.
Skill Cost: 50
Friendly Reminder: This Skill has no Cooldown Time but consumes a large amount of resources. Use with caution. This Skill can level up as usage frequency increases; for every level increase, the cost increases by 50 points, and the power boost also doubles.
A Skill with no CD that can directly double one's attack power—this is absolutely a godly skill.
The only drawback is that the consumption is indeed too high. Given Uchiha En's current Chakra level of 839, he must use it cautiously.
But with this Skill, Uchiha En's strength can be considered directly doubled at certain times.
While Uchiha En was familiarizing himself with his power, a new class of Ninja Academy students was about to graduate.
They are undoubtedly luckier than the previous classes of Ninja Academy students.
Because the Third Great Ninja War has ended, they do not need to face cruel warfare directly, nor do they need to be sent to a battlefield that resembles a meat grinder.
However, this does not mean they can enjoy peace without worry.
The Third Great Ninja War has just ended, and the various Villages are still wary of each other. In a sense, these newly graduated Genin are stepping onto another kind of "battlefield."
Three children from the Uchiha Clan graduated in this class, including Uchiha Shisui.
In the original work, Uchiha Shisui graduated as a Genin in Year 46 of Konoha. In Year 47 of Konoha, he killed his best friend, awakened the Mangekyo, and in Year 48 of Konoha, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui became acquainted, and the Nine-Tailed Fox incident broke out that same year.
This year is Year 46 of Konoha, and there are still more than two months until Year 47 of Konoha.
After Uchiha En learned of Uchiha Shisui's graduation, he specifically went to see him and gave him Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame as a graduation gift.
"En-senpai, are you going to become the Captain of the Third Squad of the Police Force?" Shisui asked Uchiha En.
"I suppose so! Why do you suddenly ask?"
"Can I join the Third Squad later on?"
"It's too early to talk about that now. Let's discuss it after you've completed missions for a while and gained some understanding of this world!" Uchiha En said with a smile.
Shisui nodded, half understanding.
After that, Uchiha Shisui officially began executing missions.
Unlike most newly graduated Genin who can only take D-rank missions, Uchiha Shisui's squad was performing C-rank missions right from the start.
Uchiha En also noticed that the Third Hokage seemed to be deliberately cultivating and reaching out to Shisui, assigning him excellent teachers and teammates.
Uchiha En didn't say much about this, but whenever he had free time, he would chat with Shisui, seizing the opportunity to "brainwash" him and give Shisui a different perspective on certain people and events.
Unconsciously, two months passed, and the time arrived at Year 47 of Konoha.
Uchiha En's Teleportation and Insight finally leveled up again during this period of conscious use.
