Chapter 22: Convincing the Grand Elder (Ch 22)

Chapter 22: Convincing the Great Elder

The root cause of the destruction of the Whirlpool Country was planted at this time.

In order to make all countries live in peace and balance their fighting power, the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, distributed the One to Eight-Tails to various ninja villages.

When the first Hokage was alive, other ninja villages did not dare to have any bad intentions. However, after the first and second Hokage died one after another, the Senju clan had no outstanding figures, and the Uzumaki clan’s top combat leader also died. In order to obtain the Uzumaki clan’s sealing technique so that they could seal the tailed beasts of their own villages and obtain their own jinchūriki, each ninja village launched an invasion of the Land of Whirlpools.

When faced with the Uzumaki clan’s request for help, the Third Hokage had many small thoughts. He delayed responding to the rescue, using the excuse that the village was experiencing a war and was short of manpower, which led to the destruction of the Uzumaki Country and the theft of the sealing technique.

What the Third Generation did not expect was that each ninja village had its own Jinchūriki one after another, and some ninja villages directly possessed perfect Jinchūriki, which greatly increased their combat effectiveness, making Konoha Village very passive.

To sum up, the Land of Whirlpools had what the various ninja villages desperately needed, but no strong people that they feared. Konoha, which had always been on good terms with the Land of Whirlpools, was unreliable this time (it could also be another political exchange by the Third Hokage), so it was destroyed.

So, don’t rely on others for everything. At critical moments, you can only rely on yourself.

Uchiha Qiushan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then pointed his finger at the location of the Whirlpool Country, determining the future homeland of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha is not short of experts now. Counting Uchiha Itachi, there are four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan. Although Uchiha Shisui’s pupil technique cannot be used easily, it does not prevent him from opening Susanoo. Moreover, even if Uchiha Shisui does not use the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is definitely a Kage-level expert.

The Uchiha clan has far more masters than the Uzumaki clan back then. In addition, there are also many Kage-level masters in the Uchiha clan. I believe no one would be so stupid as to stroke the Uchiha clan’s tiger whiskers.

Uchiha Qiushan opened his Sharingan and carefully memorized the map on the table. After tidying up the room, he did not rush to find the elders and the clan leader to discuss the relocation. Moreover, even if the Uchiha clan moved away, a small number of clan members would be left in Konoha to take care of the students who went to school in Konoha. After all, it is easy to build a clan land, but it is not easy to build a school in a short time.

After lunch, Uchiha Qiushan made a cup of tea, sat under the shade of a tree in the yard, looked at the family emblem on the wall that looked like a table tennis paddle, took a sip of the tea, and exhaled with satisfaction.

It has only been one day since I got the system yesterday. Relying on the power of the system and my own wisdom, I have crossed the threshold of the Sharingan Mangekyo, which has greatly improved my strength. I am no longer an unknown Uchiha Jonin, but can jump out of the chessboard and become the actual ruler of the Uchiha clan, becoming a chess player.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the afternoon had passed. Uchiha Qiushan’s Sharingan finally adapted and no longer felt sore and swollen.

The next step is to visit the great elder and ask him to agree to the Uchiha’s relocation. As for the clan leader, he also needs to go through the motions.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Uchiha Qiushan walked into the courtyard of the Great Elder. Since the Great Elder’s wife had passed away and the Great Elder did not like anyone to serve him, the Great Elder was the only one living in this large courtyard.

Uchiha Qiushan knocked on the door slowly and walked in after hearing the response from the great elder.

I saw the great elder Uchiha Ling slowly making tea in the reception room, and said with a smile:

“I knew you would come today.”

Uchiha Qiushan was a little surprised: “The Great Elder knew I would come?”

The Great Elder nodded and replied mysteriously: “You should have noticed it, right?”

Uchiha Qiushan was a little confused by the question from the Great Elder: “What did you notice?”

Seeing Qiu Shan’s look, the Great Elder was a little disappointed: “Your Mangekyō Sharingan, they should have awakened their pupil techniques by now, right?”

After hearing the words of the elder, Uchiha Qiushan suddenly realized that the elder thought he was here to ask him for advice on eye techniques. He was about to deny the elder’s idea, but changed his mind and nodded in agreement with the elder’s words. However, he only planned to tell him part of the truth.

“Yes, Great Elder, my Mangekyō Sharingan has awakened the eye technique, and I have used it for a while, but the result was not very good, so I came to ask you for advice.”

When the Great Elder heard that Uchiha Qiushan had used the eye technique once, he immediately became interested.

“You’ve already used it? What are the effects? Don’t use it too much in the future, it will cause damage to your Sharingan.”

Uchiha Qiushan decided to tell the Great Elder about the genocide of the Uchiha clan, which would help persuade the Great Elder to let the Uchiha clan leave Konoha.

Uchiha Qiushan’s face looked a little heavy:

“My Mangekyō Sharingan’s eye technique was awakened after I went back home last night. This feeling is amazing, as if this eye technique was naturally embedded in my eyes, and even without activating it, I can still know its approximate effect.”

The Great Elder nodded when he heard this. “This is the eye technique that our Uchiha clan’s Sharingan naturally awakens after it evolves into the Mangekyō. Each person is different, and the one that best suits that person’s nature is innate. If that person likes to attack, then the eye technique that is awakened is likely to be a highly offensive eye technique. If that person likes to hide, then the eye technique that is awakened should be one that is conducive to hiding. If that person likes to escape, then it may be an eye technique that accelerates or allows flight.”

The elder said, and chuckled: “I deliberately didn’t tell you yesterday, just waiting to give you a surprise. Haha, kid, you were scared yesterday, right?”

Hearing the elder’s words like a child, Uchiha Qiushan almost laughed out loud, but he quickly controlled his expression and sighed heavily: “Elder, do you know what eye technique I have awakened?”

At this time, the great elder also felt that something was wrong with Uchiha Qiushan, and put away the smile on his face:

“What kind of pupil technique makes you so uncomfortable?”

Uchiha Qiushan raised his head, looked at the great elder, twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, activating Uchiha Fugaku’s eye technique illusion. Of course, he did not use his full strength, only a slight pull, and even an ordinary ninja could easily break free.

“Great Elder, please do not resist. I will show you what I saw with my pupil technique yesterday.”

The Great Elder was also a smart man. He looked at Uchiha Qiushan’s Mangekyo and asked, “Precognitive type?”

Seeing Uchiha Qiushan nodded, the elder stopped resisting and entered the illusion space.
