The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 98 (Chapter Match)

Uchiha clan.

"...The woman you met yesterday was Orochimaru?"

Fugaku was also astonished. That woman from yesterday was Orochimaru?!

Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin, and even led Fugaku's army into battle.

How did it become like this?

Chiyo understood Fugaku's surprise, given Fugaku's limited perspective.

"For Orochimaru, he can change bodies at any time, so you don't need to be so surprised."

“I already talked to him yesterday. From now on, some of our clansmen will go to sweep up the black market, and the other part will go to their Otogakure to clear out their missions.”

Fugaku said in surprise, "That's really suitable. I was just about to ask your clansmen if they want to continue taking on missions from Konoha."

After all, many Uchiha people had been tricked and killed before, and the situation between the Uchiha and Konoha is currently delicate. What if they were set up again when they went to Konoha to accept a mission?

Qianyao continued, "Send the elites to the black market raids, and those who are weaker should go to the Sound Village."

"Our Uchiha clan cannot be left empty, so at most only one-third of our combat personnel can go out each time."

"Classify the combat personnel and then have them compete internally. Only those who win can go out to do missions, while those who lose can cultivate within the clan."

“I personally guide them every day, striving to improve the strength of our people as quickly as possible.”

Fugaku asked, somewhat puzzled, "Chiyo, why are you so enthusiastic about guiding their cultivation?"

"You're so young now, this is the time when your strength is rapidly improving, don't let small things cause you to lose big ones."

Instead of answering, Qianyao asked, "Does the Uchiha clan only rely on the three of us with our Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"You know the drawbacks of the Mangekyou Sharingan; we still need more fresh blood."

"As for me, you don't need to worry, I know what I'm doing."

"I am also growing while teaching others."

Fugaku opened his mouth, but felt he had no right to speak to Chiyo, since Chiyo had far more ideas than he did.

He pondered for a moment: "Qianyao, do you want to be the clan leader?"

A confident smile appeared on Qian Yao's lips:

"Clan leader, in your opinion, who in the Uchiha clan is more suitable than me to succeed as clan leader?"

Fugaku paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Not bad, not bad, you're the only one who's suitable."

He himself was not particularly enthusiastic about power.

I never had the idea of ​​stepping down before, because I believed that I had the Mangekyou Sharingan and could lead my people to a bright future.

However, reality was cruel. Under his leadership, the Uchiha not only lost almost all of their former security forces.

He almost caused the extermination of his clan because of his stubbornness and arrogance.

Although Itachi was brainwashed, I also bear a great deal of responsibility for sending Itachi to be a double agent.

Now, a genius boy named Qianyao has emerged in the clan. Not only is he exceptionally intelligent, but he is also probably the strongest in the clan in terms of martial arts.

After all, being a fellow kaleidoscope user, Fugaku still felt the surging power of Chiyo's eyes during the battle.

However, compared to martial prowess, Chiyo's intelligence was what Fugaku valued most.

Moreover, in just a few days, it's clear that Qianyao has big ambitions, and every step it takes now is for the future.

Qianyao is truly the most suitable successor to this clan leader.

"You still don't touch any of the clan's affairs. Didn't I tell you to learn about them before?"

Qian Yao said indifferently, "You can handle these things, or other elders can handle them."

"A true leader must grasp the direction of progress and the force."

"You've lost your edge because you've spent too much time and energy on these things."

"Chieftain, how long has it been since you last laid a hand on someone?"

Although Chiyo was lecturing Fugaku, their relationship was already at level three, so she could say such things freely.

Fugaku was seriously considering Chiyo's words: "Yes, it has been a few years."

Qianyao reminded him, "And your eye technique, Chief, has also gradually made you lose your ambition."

Fugaku assumed Itachi had told Chiyo, and was seriously considering Chiyo's words.

Seeing that Fugaku was thinking, Chiyo continued:

"No matter what we do in this world, the final outcome of the story may be different."

"If you always seek to maximize benefits and minimize harm, and try to do things with the idea of ​​minimizing losses, you will lose your drive."

The more you know, the more you fear.

"Clan leader, you're using this eye technique incorrectly."

Upon careful consideration, Fugaku realized that this was indeed the case; in fact, the Uchiha had always had various opportunities to rebel in the past.

However, Fugaku used illusions to glimpse the future, causing significant losses for the Uchiha clan.

He gradually backed down and eventually became a timid and hesitant clan leader.

Even if he was preparing to rebel, it was because his clansmen put him in a difficult position, not because it was his own will.

“You’re right, Qianyao. I have indeed lost my ambition over the years.”

Fugaku is 40 years old this year, has a lot of chakra, and is well-maintained as the clan leader.

His physical strength has not declined at all; on the contrary, he is at the peak of his life and is fully capable of leading a team on missions.

Instead of dealing with administrative affairs within the clan every day.

Chiyo patted Fugaku on the shoulder. Although the gesture seemed completely out of character for his age, Fugaku didn't find it awkward at all.

"Although Itachi is a great successor, it doesn't mean you have to retire now."

"I'm planning to build a laboratory for Orochimaru in the clan. There will be many other things that will cost money in the future, so you don't need to feed the fish every day."

Fugaku was somewhat surprised: "Orochimaru is going to directly infiltrate our Uchiha clan?"

He initially thought it was just a collaboration with Orochimaru, but it turned out to be practically a defection.

Chiyo knew what Fugaku was surprised about, after all, Orochimaru's experimentation on his own people had caused quite a stir.

The Third Hokage personally went to capture him, but now the Uchiha clan wants to accept Orochimaru.

He explained, "Our previous behavior of keeping a low profile only led Konoha to keep testing us."

"Now that we have demonstrated our strength, we should continue to increase our investment in this area."

"Konoha has a lot of people, and we Uchiha have a lot of high-level combat power."

"This will allow us to achieve a balance."

"After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's power has already surfaced, and the other ninja clans need a force that can rival Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Then we'll take the lead."

Fugaku nodded repeatedly, guessing that Chiyo had been planning these things from the very beginning.

"Is Orochimaru reliable?"

Fugaku asked this crucial question.

Qianyao gave a reassuring gesture: "I'm confident."

He didn't plan to tell Fugaku about Kotoamatsukami, otherwise Fugaku would probably be so upset he'd vomit blood.

Hearing what Chiyo said, Fugaku didn't ask any more questions and brought up another matter:

"How about we make Sasuke your student?"
