20 advance ahead chapter.....🥷🥷
The selection of the Third Hokage finally concluded, and news of Uchiha Nan's victory spread rapidly throughout Konoha.
According to rumors from the onlookers, Uzumaki Mito-sama returned to the Senju clan with her face covered after being beaten into a "pig's head" by Uchiha Nan.
Naturally, the Senju clan issued a statement to counter such gossip.
They claimed the rumors were false!
Anyone caught spreading them would be invited for a chat with the Anbu.
Uzumaki Mito-sama had graciously stepped aside to make way for the younger generation!
Ultimately, she lost to Uchiha Nan!
The Senju clan mobilized their members to spread this narrative throughout Konoha's streets, trying to cover up the embarrassment.
However, this story quickly drowned under the news of Uchiha Nan becoming the Third Hokage.
In the past, the Hokage title was monopolized by the Senju clan. Now, the tables had turned, and the Uchiha clan would take the reins in Konoha.
The various ninja clans in Konoha, always quick to adapt, began aligning with the Uchiha clan.
For a time, the Uchiha clan's gates were crowded, with families eager to establish ties.
Uchiha Nan welcomed this development. If these clans sought Uchiha's protection, they would bring gifts.
Each envelope held a substantial sum; anything less wouldn't catch Uchiha Nan's attention!
These families knew how to navigate such matters.
Though Uchiha Nan met and familiarized himself with the heads of smaller families, future favoritism was uncertain. However, he might not remember who came, but he'd surely remember who didn't.
Uchiha Nan focused on meeting the Bloodline Limit and Mystic Families.
Hinata Takuma visited Uchiha Nan with gifts, his spirits high. The Uchiha and Hyuga clans were in a honeymoon phase. With Uchiha Nan defeating Mito and becoming Hokage, the Hyuga clan, as their ally, stood to gain.
What truly caught Uchiha Nan's attention was Hinata Takuma bringing a girl from the main family, Hinata Asuka, only twelve years old.
After exchanging pleasantries, Hinata Takuma eagerly introduced Asuka to Uchiha Nan.
She wore a yellow kimono, polite and mature beyond her years, yet still youthful. She resembled Hanabi, Naruto's sister-in-law, but seemed more composed.
Hinata Takuma praised Asuka, calling her the best among the Hyuga main family.
Takuma had a clear vision: with Uchiha Nan's strength among the top in the ninja world, he might rule Konoha for decades. For the family's future, offering a daughter was a small sacrifice.
Though it might lead to bloodline dilution, Takuma saw the bigger picture. If Uchiha Nan and Asuka had children, their combined bloodlines promised incredible talent—a genius among geniuses.
As Uchiha Nan's child, such a descendant might become the fourth Hokage. With Hyuga and Uchiha blood, one could say the Hyuga clan had a share in the Hokage legacy.
The supposed harm of bloodline dilution was far outweighed by potential gains.
The Hyuga clan valued prosperity and legacy. They even resorted to sacrificing the clan leader's brother in hard times, feigning nobility but acting shamelessly.
If it were the Uchiha, they'd fight Kumogakure to the death.
Is this matchmaking?
Uchiha Nan watched Takuma's tactics, questioning his own morals. He didn't expect Takuma to be so bold, offering a twelve-year-old girl. But Asuka seemed unperturbed. Konoha, only founded twenty years ago, retained the Warring States' legacy. Marrying young was seen as securing the future.
After all, the high mortality rate of ninjas was well known.
But Uchiha Nan wasn't inclined to pursue a twelve-year-old. He didn't want trouble, so he diplomatically sidestepped the offer.
Seeing Uchiha Nan's lack of interest, Takuma didn't press further. This was just a preliminary introduction; there would be future opportunities.
After a busy day meeting people, the Uchiha celebration began!
Night fell.
At Nanga Shrine, all clan members attended, even those without Sharingan. Fireworks and firecrackers lit up the night sky.
After the fireworks, the elders brought Uchiha Nan to worship their ancestors. With tears, they praised Uchiha Nan.
He was the hope of the Uchiha clan, the strongest Hokage of Konoha.
They showered him with compliments. For twenty years, Uchiha was under Senju's thumb. Now, they finally rose.
The praise made Uchiha Nan a bit embarrassed, even comparing himself to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He wasn't that arrogant. If he faced Hashirama Senju now, he'd likely be crushed like the Nine-Tails.
After ancestor worship came a grand feast, and Uchiha Nan was pulled into drinking games. On such a joyous day, he didn't hold back.
But two fists couldn't fend off everyone. No matter how much he drank, Uchiha Nan couldn't keep up with the clan's toasts. Eventually, Manji dragged him home.
While the Uchiha celebrated, the Senju clan mourned, turning in early.
The Hokage title, held for two generations, was taken by Uchiha. It was a disgrace.
At the Senju Clan's base.
In a secret underground lab filled with experimental tools and materials.
This was Senju Tobirama's original lab.
Senju Momorama retrieved sealed experimental data from deep within.
"Clan leader, do we really want to restart the cell experiment?"
Tobirama had personally halted this experiment. All volunteers perished back then!
Fear etched Senju Momo's face. He was a confidant of Momorama, having fought by his side.
Senju Momori, older than Momorama, had seen the experiments' horrors firsthand. The subjects, in unbearable agony, left him with nightmares for days.
"Uchiha has overshadowed Senju!"
"I need power to reclaim the Hokage title!"
Resentment marked Momorama's face. Uchiha Nan's mockery shattered his defenses.
"What about Mito-sama?"
"Mother, leave it to me. I'll handle it."
Senju Momoma waved dismissively, avoiding the topic.
