Chapter 53 - Uchiha Clan

The chuunin who was sent to ask the clan leader for his opinion returned.

The clan leader, Ryokawa, agreed to Shigeru's idea of ​​going to the Uchiha clan.

In this way, a group of ten people set out on their way south towards the Uchiha clan.

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that they are heading south. To be precise, the Uchiha clan is located east of the southern Hagoromo clan.

This world is determined by strength. Naturally, the Uchiha and the Senju, the two families with the biggest fists, occupy the most privileged places in the Land of Fire.

Among them, the Uchiha clan is located a little west of the center of the Land of Fire, while the Senju is a little east.

The two neighboring clans have been fighting since ancient times, and the two clans are almost always in conflict, so there will be some friction.

After about five hours, around 6 pm, Shigeru and the others arrived at a small village north of the Uchiha clan.

However, although it is said to be a small town, it is actually the same size as the Hagoromo clan village. There are thousands of people living in it. Most people from the surrounding villages come to this town to trade.

"Alright, let's rest in this city for a night and visit the Uchiha clan tomorrow morning."

Arriving at the hotel, Zenitsu talked to everyone.

It was already nighttime. If they went to the Uchiha clan at this hour, people would probably get suspicious.

Therefore, it would be better to rest for one night and go tomorrow morning.

They all nodded and walked to their rooms.

Since rooms were limited, they opened four rooms, including one room for the five chunins, one room for the two jonins and the elite jonins, one room for Zenitsu, and one room for Shigeru.

Among them, Shigeru's room was arranged to Zenitsu's right, and to Shigeru's right were the two jounin and the elite jounin.

It can be seen that Zenitsu attaches great importance to Shigeru's safety.

Fortunately there were no accidents at night.

Early the next morning, Shigeru and his group of ten set out for the Uchiha clan.

At nine o'clock, ten people arrived at the gate of the Uchiha clan.

As soon as Shigeru and the others approached the Uchiha clan, the alert Uchiha clan members determined the identity of the visitor.

After learning that the third elder of the Hagoromo clan was coming, Uchiha Minetani, the fourth elder of the Uchiha clan, came to the gate and waited for the visitors from the Hagoromo clan.

About three or four minutes later, Zenitsu and the others appeared.

Uchiha Minetani took two steps forward with two members of the Uchiha clan. "Welcome to our friends from the Hagoromo clan!"

Uchiha Minetani is also a well-known person in the ninja world.

Zenitsu naturally recognized him, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your welcome, Minetani-San."

Most members of the Uchiha clan are serious-minded and Uchiha Minetani is no exception. After saying some polite words, he immediately said, "Everyone, please follow me."

Zenitsu nodded slightly and they entered the Uchiha clan together.

Shigeru and the remaining eight members of the Hagoromo clan followed him without saying a word.

After entering the clan area, Uchiha Minetani led them down the main road.

Along the way, Shigeru felt that the biggest difference between the Uchiha and the Hagoromo was that the population of the Uchiha clan was obviously much larger than that of the Hagoromo clan.

And if a ninja clan has a large population, it will naturally produce more ninjas.

The Uchiha clan can be considered the strongest ninja clan, except for the Senju. Besides the proud Sharingan, the most important point is that they have more and stronger ninjas than other ninja clans.

This is also the reason why the Uchiha clan can dominate the Land of Fire.

After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived at a house, which was also the place where the Uchiha clan discussed internal matters.

Now that the Hagoromo clan is visiting, Uchiha Minetani naturally brings people here.

"This is Zenitsu-san."

Uchiha Minetani brought Zenitsu, the elite jounin, and two jounin to the house.

As for Shigeru and the five chuunin, they were taken to the nearby courtyard by the two Uchiha ninja who came with them and entertained them.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan…"

Shigeru sighed as he ate the snacks on the table.

Although he only looked at one street, according to his perception, the Uchiha clan's territory is estimated to be about twice as large as that of the Hagoromo clan. Based on this, it is estimated that the Uchiha clan's population is also larger than the Hagoromo clan's population before the war.

Before coming to the Uchiha clan, Hagoromo Chihan's understanding of the power of the Uchiha clan was limited to his understanding of the original work and the information he obtained from the clan, and he did not have any intuitive feelings.

But now that he is here, he can clearly feel that the strength of the Uchiha clan and other ninja clans are not on the same level at all.

In terms of number of ninja alone, the Uchiha clan had almost twice as many ninja as the Hagoromo clan, a top-tier ninja clan, before the war.

In addition, the Uchiha clan also has a patriarch and four elders, a total of five clan leader level experts.

With such strength, if they put in their all and ignore the Senju clan watching intently alongside them, they can definitely destroy any ninja clan in a day.

It can also be seen that the strength of the Uchiha clan is truly terrifying.

"But nothing is absolute, and strength and weakness can transform into each other" Shigeru thought secretly in his heart.

You know, he has a golden finger. No matter what happens in the future, the Hagoromo clan will never be worse than the Uchiha clan, even if the Uchiha clan has Uchiha Madara.

Just as Shigeru was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, thinking frantically, a figure walked in from outside.

The five chunin around him looked at him and saw that he was a boy with the Uchiha clan logo printed on the back of his clothes.

"Hey! Are you the young patriarch of the Hagoromo clan?"

The boy put his hands on his hips and looked at Shigeru with a proud face and asked.

At that moment, Shigeru snapped back to reality from his wild thoughts. He looked up and said, "Sasuke?"

Uchiha Izuna was stunned for a moment "Who is Sasuke? My name is Izuna, Uchiha Izuna!"

"Huh? Hahahaha…"

Shigeru smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I got the wrong person. I know a man named Sasuke. You two look a lot alike."

In Shigeru's eyes, the person in front of him, the Uchiha boy, is simply carved from the same mold as Uchiha Sasuke. Those who don't know better think that Uchiha Sasuke has traveled back in time.

"Really?" Uchiha Izuna looked at Shigeru with some suspicion.

Shigeru nodded. "Yes, Sasuke is a genius."

After all, Uchiha Izuna has a childlike heart. When he heard Shigeru's words, he thought that Shigeru was praising him, so the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise his voice, "That's natural."

Then, Shigeru said softly, "It's just that..."
