Adding fuel to the fire!
Chapter 27 Adding Fuel to the Fire! (Please Read On!)
"Comrades, you've worked hard!"
Standing on an award stage formed from earth-style magic, Uchiha Jin, holding the championship trophy and flowers, greeted the crowd below the stage warmly.
Beside Uchiha Jin, Uchiha Yuhara and Uchiha Tonan, also holding trophies and flowers, maintained their cold expressions, proudly looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Just from the slight curve of their lips, it was easy to see that these two Uchiha were very happy to have successfully advanced to the 'Kage' level, thanks to the cheers and recognition of their clansmen.
Obviously!
No Uchiha would actually feel resentful about losing to Uchiha Jin in the final.
Even if there is some, it's resentment towards one's own lack of talent and insufficient effort.
As for Uchiha Jin, he clearly didn't participate in the earlier elimination rounds, but in the end, he forcibly secured a spot in the top four...
Although this incident left the Uchiha present speechless, after Uchiha Jin displayed his formidable strength, no one cared about this trivial matter anymore.
After all, the competition rules clearly state that the final interpretation of all actions in the World's Greatest Ninja Way Tournament belongs to the chief referee of this tournament, Uchiha Jin!
Makes sense!
"Let the Uchiha be great again!"
"Let the Uchiha be great again!"
"Let the Uchiha be great again!"
……
Feeling the thunderous cheers, Uchiha Jin nodded in satisfaction. As his plan gradually unfolded, it was time to step into the limelight.
Uchiha Jin glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, who were still grinning foolishly on the platform, and curled his lip in disdain.
It wasn't because Uchiha Jin really had such a strong desire for power and control; it was simply that the two useless couples mentioned above were just hopeless cases, so in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, he had no choice but to step out from behind the scenes.
For the Uchiha clan, who have always revered the strong, there is naturally no better way to gain recognition than by demonstrating their strength.
really!
The Uchiha are all scoundrels. As long as we can completely subdue them, everything will be much easier!
Hashirama Senju didn't hit him hard enough back then, which allowed Madara Uchiha to generate all sorts of messy information, giving Black Zetsu the opportunity to spread rumors.
The same applies to Hiruzen Sarutobi; if...
Oh!
It seems this "strongest Hokage" can't subdue the entire Uchiha clan, so never mind...
This "strongest Hokage" couldn't do this before, and from today onwards, he shouldn't even think about having such a pipe dream.
After this series of battles, the top combatants of the Uchiha clan have all made significant improvements, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is about all they can achieve in the short term.
after all.
What currently limits the Uchiha clan is having enough time to digest and absorb information, and an even greater limitation is the number of Uchiha clan ninjas.
Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the term "genin" may seem insignificant, and only the Uchiha clan has more chunin than genin, but this does not mean that the number of genin is unimportant.
As long as they don't face an exceptionally high level like Madara Uchiha, these lowly genin still have a chance to harm chunin or even jonin. In fact, if they're not careful, reaching the 'kage level' isn't impossible.
After all, they're ninjas...
Most classes cannot change their inherent high attack and low defense characteristics!
Especially in large-scale warfare, even a genin has the potential to kill a jonin, which is why some newly graduated ninja academy students are sent to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, having one more genin is like having one more human bomb in a critical moment!
However, even with his unique perspective, Uchiha Jin's lack of genin was a very difficult problem to solve.
The Uchiha clan's reputation has been so badly tarnished that they have no way to recruit soldiers through mass recruitment, and the reproductive capacity of bloodline clans is also questionable.
In addition, although the profession of ninja sounds incredibly prestigious, the actual income is quite disheartening. It is estimated that only high-ranking members of clans like Uchiha Fugaku would have the energy and financial resources to have a second child.
what!
The blind student seems to have discovered the key point!
No wonder the Kaleidoscope and the Eternal Eye always appear in the lineage of the clan leader and elders, now I understand...
Uchiha Jin silently criticized the injustice of the ninja world, then slowly shifted his gaze from the cheering crowd below the arena towards the podium.
After this incident, the Uchiha clan has increased its number of Jonin by a full thirteen. Combined with the two Kage-level fighters beside Uchiha Jin, they are now a force to be reckoned with among top-tier fighters.
Such combat power, unless facing the overwhelming encirclement of a super-large ninja village, is more than enough to suppress any powerful ninja clan in the ninja world.
Uh……
The Otsutsuki clan on the moon doesn't count, unless they agree not to use the large Tenseigan, which is a cheat code.
and so……
Uchiha Jin's gaze slowly swept over the people on the platform, finally settling on the sorrowful faces of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi without leaving a trace.
"After three days of fermentation, some people must be getting impatient!"
Uchiha Jin sneered inwardly, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, before he murmured with a touch of melancholy.
"I've been waiting impatiently for this too, so let me add fuel to the fire for your final outcome!"
"What?"
Uchiha Yuhara and Uchiha Tonan, who were standing beside him, keenly sensed the fleeting killing intent and looked at Uchiha Jin with some curiosity.
"fine!"
The killing intent on Uchiha Jin vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle warmth like a spring breeze. He gestured slightly towards Uchiha Yuhara and Uchiha Tonan beside him before looking down at the arena again.
"Everyone has it!"
"yes!"
With a loud shout from Uchiha Jin, the Uchiha, who had grown accustomed to being given orders these past few days, stood at attention and quietly awaited their leader's instructions.
"The result of the competition is not important; what matters is what you all learned from it. Now I announce..."
At this moment, Uchiha Jin did not demonstrate his powerful skills in writing nonsense, but instead resolutely continued to shout at everyone.
"Genin and chuunin obey orders!"
"exist!"
"You can either disband here or stay and share what you've learned in the competition, integrating those experiences into your very being. If you can do that, becoming a Jonin is within your grasp!"
"yes!"
The roar of hundreds of people, filled with surprise and joy, once again ignited the once-silent Uchiha clan territory, causing the Root members who remained outside the territory to be shaken to their core once more.
After arranging the genin and chunin, Uchiha Jin turned his attention back to the group of Uchiha jonin.
"Uchiha Jonin, heed my command!"
"yes!"
Although their numbers were significantly fewer than the former, the aura emanating from the Uchiha Jonin was far more ferocious, with each one radiating a confident smile.
"Let's go get some barbecue!"
"ha?"
"What?"
