Chapter 71 : Uchiha Natsu's Exclusive Messenger

Uchiha Clan Territory, Training Ground.

Natsu Uchiha crossed his arms, taking shelter beneath the shade of a tree. Observing Uchiha clansmen sweating profusely during their training, he noticed the subtle rise of smiles on their faces. For Uchiha Natsu, this war had proven to be fruitful.

Within the Uchiha clan, Natsu's status soared, and fellow clansmen began recognizing their strengths, growing stronger. Additionally, Uchiha Natsu and Uchiha Fugaku personally visited the patriarchs of other families. Fugaku, less sociable than other clansmen, found solace in Uchiha Natsu's presence.

The patriarchs of these families were familiar with Uchiha Natsu, as he had led the Uchiha Clan and saved them in the decisive battle. Consequently, they became more conversational, establishing a foundation of goodwill. This diplomatic success significantly improved the Uchiha clan's image among other families, setting the stage for a future coup d'état.

As for Uchiha Natsu himself, the harvest was also impressive. On the day the battle ended, each family had to collect their corpses outside. Uchiha Natsu took this opportunity to deploy hundreds of wooden clones, sweeping the entire battlefield ahead of time. Before the arrival of each family, a large number of corpses were discreetly removed.

Not a single enemy corpse was left, and Konoha's corpses—only a few lower ninjas—were left behind, with all jonin and chunin being taken away. Even within the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Natsu treated them equally; otherwise, he would be suspected of Uchiha bias by other families.

After the corpses were taken away, Uchiha Natsu deliberately left traces of Mokuton and implicated Senju Akira. The rest was left for others to piece together. In short, Uchiha Natsu distanced himself from any involvement.

Throughout the battlefield, Uchiha Natsu harvested more than 500 Ninja corpses, more than 100 Chunin corpses, and less than 30 Jonin corpses. As for the corpses of elite Jonin, not a single one was found. Elite Jonin are already powerful and difficult to kill, and they are rare in number.

Except for Yotsuki Kiyoi, whom Uchiha Natsu killed, there was only an unknown ninja from Iwagakure in the decisive battle. That Stone ninja probably died at the hands of the third generation or Jiraiya. Just like White Fang many years ago, he died by forced suicide, not in the war. Therefore, Uchiha Natsu was not surprised by this result.

After all the corpses were recovered, the gains almost made Uchiha Natsu's strength improve by leaps and bounds again.

"Natsu, where do you think Uchiha's future should go?" Just as he was contemplating, Uchiha Fugaku's voice suddenly interrupted Uchiha Natsu's thoughts. Uchiha Natsu turned his head to look at Fugaku and then turned his eyes to the training ground.

He saw that there were more than one hundred Uchiha people on the training ground. In front of every Uchiha clansman, there was a shadow clone of Uchiha Natsu, acting as a coach. In the bodies of these clones, Uchiha Natsu deliberately controlled them, leaving only chakras similar to ordinary special jounin. Only these were enough to train the members of the Uchiha clan.

The training ground was wide enough to accommodate a total of 200 people fighting ninjutsu at the same time. After glancing from left to right, Uchiha Natsu calmly said, "Two tigers cannot fit on one mountain."

In the original time and space, Uchiha Fugaku had planned to lead Uchiha in a coup. Although he mentioned it, it was because the clansman forced him to do so. However, the proposal of the clan was not Fugaku's inner expectation. Therefore, Uchiha Natsu knew Fugaku's true thoughts, and he stated this.

Uchiha Fugaku, this was the first time he asked Uchiha Natsu this question. It was also the first time he asked this question out loud. Before that, Fugaku kept his thoughts to himself. Being able to talk to Uchiha Natsu like this today also meant that Uchiha Natsu already had great trust in his heart.

After hearing Uchiha Natsu's answer, Fugaku opened Sharingan and looked around. Turning his gaze back, Fugaku sighed softly and said, "So, do you and other clansmen have the same thoughts?"

"I'm different from them," Natsu Uchiha shook his head. "I know the Uchiha clan—the real flaw. That's why I will use this war to smooth out this defect and make Uchiha truly powerful."

Fugaku looked at Uchiha Natsu solemnly, then nodded and said, "Your spirit is stronger than all the clansmen." After a pause, Fugaku thought to himself, 'Including me.' In this war, Fugaku considered Uchiha Natsu's performance before and after, and he probably understood Uchiha Natsu's thoughts. He even felt that Uchiha Natsu's hidden strength for so many years might have been an opportunity.

For one, it was enough to change the opportunity for Uchiha. Undoubtedly, this war was a very good opportunity, so Uchiha Natsu showcased his strength. Even Fugaku had a little admiration for Uchiha Natsu. Not only did the Uchiha clan establish prestige at a very small cost, but more importantly, even the Hyuga clan was able to make friends. Even Fugaku himself had thought of many ways, but he deemed it impossible.

For Uchiha, making friends with the Hyuga clan was almost as difficult as climbing the sky. "After all the preparations are complete, it will be Uchiha's turn to take the position of Naruto. This is what Uchiha should have," Uchiha Natsu said lightly.

At this moment, an Anbu ninja wearing a fox face mask came to the edge of the training ground after a few ups and downs. After landing, Kakashi said helplessly, "Natsu..." As soon as Uchiha Natsu turned his head and saw Kakashi, he knew what Kakashi was going to do. In addition to looking for three generations, there was almost nothing else.

So, after saying hello to Fugaku, Natsu Uchiha followed Kakashi and left the Uchiha training ground. "I heard before that a Senju Akira beat you; how are you doing now?" Halfway through, Uchiha Natsu turned around and asked.

"Uchiha Natsu's Exclusive Messenger" Kakashi twitched the corners of his mouth under the mask and said expressionlessly, "Fortunately, it's just a loss of strength, and it will be cured in two days." Uchiha Natsu pretended to be filled with righteous indignation and said: "This Akira Senju, why is he so ruthless? I heard that he doesn't even bother to beat two advisors."

Kakashi was silent for a while after hearing the words. When he woke up, he knew the horrifying performance of Akira Senju in the decisive battle. Only then did he realize that when Akira Senju hit him, it was as if he was playing. Whenever he thinks of this, Kakashi is very depressed. When he got close to the Hokage Building, he finally said: "Maybe at that time, he thought I was as powerful as those Kage. When he found out that I wasn't firm, he didn't even bother to kill me."

After finishing speaking, the two had already entered the Hokage building together, and after passing through the corridor, they came to the Hokage office. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzawa was sitting on the Hokage seat, flipping through some documents. And in front of the table, Uzuki Yuyan and Uchiha Shisui were still standing. There is another person who surprised Uchiha Natsu was ...
