In PATREON 20 adavance chapter

At Nanga Shrine

Uchiha Tomita looked at Uchiha Nan standing before him and sighed helplessly. He had never imagined such an ending.

He had indeed been driven out by Uchiha Nan.

However, this outcome wasn't entirely unacceptable. With Uchiha Nan possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan, the future of the Uchiha clan looked promising.

"Patriarch!"

Tomita half-knelt before Nan, presenting the jade-carved magatama from his robes. It was the token of the Uchiha clan leader, passed down through generations.

When Uchiha Madara left Konoha, he didn't take it with him, only the Uchiha fan.

"I will lead Uchiha to a brighter future!" Nan vowed, accepting the token from Tomita.

No matter how uncertain the future is, it couldn't be worse than the original timeline, where the Uchiha clan was nearly annihilated by the actions of Uchiha Itachi, leaving only a few survivors.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Just as Nan was about to receive the clan's homage, an Anbu ninja wearing a fox mask burst in, shouting urgently.

"Master Tomita, Konoha's defensive barrier has been destroyed, and enemies have entered Konoha!"

The Anbu ninja saw Tomita kneeling before Nan, and his shouting gradually quieted.

What kind of scene was this, with the Uchiha clan leader kneeling in front of so many people?

As the Anbu ninja entered, Tomita stood and declared:

"I am no longer the clan leader of the Uchiha clan. The current leader is Master Uchiha Nan!"

The fox-masked ninja was stunned by this revelation and looked at Nan. He hadn't yet processed the shocking news and momentarily forgot his mission.

After several seconds, he regained his composure and asked Nan to lead the Uchiha clan in defending Konoha.

What enemy attack?

Nan was momentarily confused, then recalled that his earlier attack seemed to have broken something—likely Konoha's defensive barrier.

"Cancel the alert; Konoha's defensive barrier was destroyed by the residual power of my casual attack."

Hmm?

Is that something people say?

Does he really think Konoha's defensive barrier is some kind of junk? It was the work of Uzumaki Mito, a master of sealing techniques, and Senju Tobirama, a scientific genius.

According to experiments, it would require bombardment by more than a dozen ninjas in succession or an S-rank forbidden technique to breach it.

A casual attack, with residual power?

The fox-masked ninja didn't argue and, after receiving Nan's confirmation, went back to report.

The person before him was the new head of the Uchiha clan. What good would it do to offend him, especially in the heart of the Uchiha's territory?

Soon, the fox-masked ninja reported the truth, and the misunderstanding caused by Nan was quickly resolved.

However, the subsequent impact of the incident was far from over. Nan's casual attack had caused a significant commotion.

The Senju clan, the Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Chō clan, and many other ninja families had already armed themselves, ready to fight to the death.

What kind of enemy could quietly reach Konoha's gates and effortlessly breach its defensive barrier?

With news of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, being killed, it seemed dire for Konoha.

Each family, upon hearing the news, mobilized its strength. It wasn't long before the Uchiha clan's events of that afternoon were relayed to the heads of each major family.

Learning the truth, the excitement was no less than if Konoha had been attacked at its doorstep.

The leadership of the Uchiha clan had changed, from Uchiha Tomita to Uchiha Nan. That alone wasn't the issue; the key was that Nan had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Some clan heads had lived since Konoha's founding and had witnessed the Wood Release of Hashirama Senju and the Susanoo of Uchiha Madara.

Two magnificent giants clashing, each casual blow earth-shattering—a war of gods, witnessed more than once. It was simply awe-inspiring!

The fear once instilled by Madara's Susanoo was resurfacing.

The Uchiha had another potential Madara, but the Senju had not produced another Hashirama.

This Konoha was on the brink of change!

In the Senju clan's territory

Uzumaki Mito studied the information in his hand, his face furrowed with concern. When did the Uchiha have such an individual?

Kusu's identity, missions, battles, and ninjutsu expertise—all these details lay before Mito.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became.

Kusu's life could be divided into two parts, with Tobirama's death as the dividing line.

While Tobirama lived, Kusu was a model successor of the Will of Fire, with even Tobirama's comments on file.

"Kusu, an outlier of the Uchiha clan, has transcended clan boundaries and worked diligently for the village. He should be a focus for training."

This was Tobirama's personal endorsement!

But after Tobirama's death, Kusu's demeanor changed completely.

According to reports, Kusu intimidated clan members by throwing a powerful technique into a crowd—a reckless act.

However, given that Kusu had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, such behavior was understandable.

But when exactly did Nan change?

If it was before Tobirama's death, it was truly terrifying.

An Uchiha, already possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan, masquerading as a Will of Fire heir, deceiving Tobirama, only revealing his true self after Tobirama's death.

With such mentality, coupled with his strength!

Even more terrifying than Madara.

Madara was powerful, but even understanding certain things, he wouldn't do them, unwilling to act.

He believed in breaking all resistance with sheer force, challenging anyone who opposed him until they complied.

Nan was different. He would endure, knowing when to act at the opportune moment—like now, with Tobirama gone, he emerged.

Mito couldn't believe such coincidences existed; this was terrifying, this child couldn't be left unchecked!

Now Nan was eager to oust Tomita and become the Uchiha clan's patriarch.

Mito could deduce his next target would be the position of Konoha's Third Hokage.

Who could stop Kusu?

Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Mito instinctively dismissed this option.

His son, Momo?

Unlikely, as Momo hadn't inherited Hashirama's Wood Release.

Only he, borrowing the Nine-Tails' power, might suppress Kusu.

However, before that, he could let Hiruzen explore the way first, since he carried Tobirama's will.

Since Tobirama chose him, he must possess extraordinary qualities yet unseen.
