What is Naruto?

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment.

Of course she had thought about this question.

In other words, all the ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village...have thought about it.

"Probably...the most powerful person."

Uchiha Mikoto tried to express her opinion.

The strongest person in Konoha Hidden Village is Hokage.

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku was silent.

Then he shook his head.

Obviously, I don't agree with Uchiha Mikoto's answer.

"Hokage may be the strongest...but he may not be the strongest..."

From his short but long life of 17 years, Uchiha Fugaku realized a truth.

The strongest person is qualified to serve as Hokage.

But in the end... it's not necessarily the strongest person who becomes Hokage.

At that time, the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama had different ideas from Uchiha Madara, which eventually led to a breakup between the two parties, and Uchiha Madara rebelled against the village.

In terms of strength, it is obvious that Uchiha Bara is much stronger than Senju Tobirama.

But why, it was not Madara Uchiha who became Hokage in the end, but Tobirama Senju???

This question...

Uchiha Fugaku has been thinking.

Finally...he came to a conclusion:

"It is not the strong person who becomes Hokage, but the person who is recognized by everyone."

The popularity of Senju Tobirama is obviously stronger than that of Uchiha Madara.

In the end, Madara Uchiha even betrayed his family members, and no one in his clan was willing to leave with him.

Regardless of right or wrong...

The reason is that even the clan members do not support Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Fugaku expressed his understanding.

Under the moonlight, the silver waves shine.

Uchiha Fugaku stood on the land outside the shrine, his face... calm and serious.

"It's not the powerful person who becomes Hokage...but the person who is recognized by everyone who can become Hokage..."

Uchiha Mikoto murmured, savoring these words carefully.

She didn't notice the flash of gloom in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.

Same thing...

What is the leader of a clan?

It is not the powerful who become the leader, but the one who is recognized by the "tribe" to become the leader.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the backs of his clansmen with a gloomy expression.

Public opinion...can sometimes play a positive role and lead a clan towards the light.

But sometimes...

It will also have the opposite effect...

Just like his father, Uchiha Akayama.

Being caught up in the fanaticism of the tribe, he could only drift with the tide.

And if nothing else happens...the next captain of the police department...will be himself.

By then...

Will I be like my father? Being held hostage by public opinion?

In Uchiha Fugaku's opinion, the plan to assassinate Hinata Hikaru... was simply stupid.

He is obviously a companion from the same village.

but......

The tribesmen are sliding towards the abyss feverishly...

In this wave of public opinion...no one can resist.

If you insist on your own ideas, I'm afraid you will end up like Uchiha Madara, betraying everyone.

"Uchiha Mikoto...you must never think like that again...and don't let other clan members know your thoughts."

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto quickly lowered her head.

She knew that Uchiha Fugaku was kindly reminding her that her expression and eyes were too obvious.

This...will only be detrimental to her.

"I understand...Fugaku-senpai..."

Dark clouds enveloped the moon, covering the earth with a layer of shadow.

Just like the hearts of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto.

...

The next morning, in the mountains behind Konoha.

The sun is shining all over the sky, the shade of the trees is cool, and the sun is practicing in the narrow valley.

Her whole body turned into a white phantom, bombarding the surrounding tree trunks and rocks.

The sound of banging explosions echoed through the back mountains of Konoha.

The natural mountain walls and the trees in the sky are excellent targets. The small waterfall crashes on the rocks, stirring up some water vapor. When the sun shines, colorful lights appear.

Hinata, who was wearing white clothes, looked at the scenery in front of her with an arrogant expression, and laughed out loud.

"Raise your knees!!"

Hyuga Hikaru suddenly kicked out his right leg, and a blue chakra cyclone emerged in front of his knee.

"Bang!" The trees exploded, debris and bark falling apart.

"Shoulders!!"

His shoulder hit the tree trunk.

"Kakakaka..." The tree trunk shook suddenly as cracks appeared.

"Collapsing Palm!!"

His right palm suddenly swung out, and the transparent wind distorted the air.

"Bang!" The tree trunk a meter away exploded, leaving deep handprints in it.

"High five!"

Sun Xiangguang jumped and flashed, holding a claw in his right hand, and grabbed towards the waterfall above his head...

"Wow!" The water in the small waterfall actually rolled up and flew up.

"Palm pressure!"

His right paw suddenly slapped towards his body.

"Boom!" The water pool suddenly boiled and burst into flames, splashing large amounts of water as if a detonating talisman had been thrown into it.

"Rock attack!"

The final blow, the right punch!

"Boom!" The rock wall shattered and the ground shook.

...

Seeing the damage he caused, Hinata put down his posture very excitedly.

After absorbing the chakra of the two Ikumi, Hinata Hikaru realized that... her strength had taken another step forward.

The lethality of various physical techniques has become stronger than before.

It's like being poured into a century's worth of internal energy.
