Chapter 56: Harvest Of Combat Value
Uchiha is truly the most realistic clan.
After killing Uchiha Setsuna, Yuma immediately mentioned that he wanted to lead the clan.
Once the defeated members of the clan recovered a certain amount of strength, everyone immediately bowed their heads.
After taking control of Uchiha Setsuna's power within the clan, Yuma did not waste any time.
He let the Uchiha present recover a certain amount of Chakra, then immediately ordered them to inform the Uchiha clan that he would now be in charge of the Setsuna faction.
None of the Uchiha dared to disregard this order.
Through the notices sent by their households, all the Uchiha in Konoha were soon made aware of the changes happening within the clan.
"Did Setsuna go to the Pure Land? I told him a long time ago that Uchiha is only strong because of his strength. He can't get on the stage by playing tricks... after all!" Uchiha Fire Core, the long-retired elder of the clan, couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news.
Having walked through the Warring States Period with Setsuna and witnessed the establishment of the Ninja Village, his feelings for Uchiha Setsuna were complicated.
Setsuna was strong, but his ability to lead was not as great as Fire Core's. However, Setsuna excelled in the ability to play tricks, something Fire Core couldn't match.
Now that Setsuna had been killed by Yuma, Fire Core sighed once more.
"But... this kid Yuma..." Fire Core felt a surge of excitement when he thought about the unexpected young man. "It seems he can surpass Madara-sama!"
At just thirteen years old, such strength and nature were incredibly shocking for someone of Fire Core's age, who had personally witnessed Madara's growth.
When Uchiha Madara was thirteen, several younger brothers had died, and his Sharingan had yet to awaken. He was still using Fire Style Ninjutsu to fight the Senju of the Forest.
At that time, Madara was still being disciplined by Master Tajima and was far from the untouchable figure he would later become.
And here was Uchiha Yuma, at the same age, already surpassing Madara in strength.
Fire Core made a swift decision in his mind. Yuma had surpassed Madara at the same age and would undoubtedly grow even stronger in the future!
As Uchiha continued to decline, this situation arose, and Fire Core couldn't help but sigh:
"What a blessing Uchiha!"
The Uchiha clan wasn't the only one shocked.
After giving all the instructions, Yuma happily walked toward the Hokage Building.
In the Hokage office, Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Yuma's report, feeling extremely conflicted.
He hadn't expected the young man to deal with the old man, Setsuna, so quickly.
Hiruzen knew that Yuma had the Mangekyō Sharingan. However, there were more than a dozen Elite Jōnin in Setsuna's faction, and he expected there to be many pairs of Sharingan, able to fight against Yuzhen's Mangekyō.
But unexpectedly, they were all defeated at lightning speed, and everyone immediately bowed to Yuma.
"The specific situation is this, Lord Third Hokage. If everything is alright, I will leave now?" After delivering his report, Yuma felt there was nothing more to say and prepared to take his leave.
Hiruzen, still deep in thought, smiled faintly. "No problem... Thank you for your hard work this time, Yuma-san."
Hearing this, Yuma bowed slightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen and left.
As he watched Yuma leave the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his cigarette rod and walked to the window, taking a few puffs.
Looking at the young man walking out of the building, he sighed softly, "I hope my decision wasn't wrong..."
Considering Yuma's abnormal growth, Hiruzen had inserted him into Minato's leadership class, thinking he would eventually grow to the level of Uchiha Madara.
However, he never anticipated that Yuma's growth would be so bizarre.
It had only been about a year. From a rookie ninja to one comparable to a Kage?!
Abnormal! Undoubtedly, abnormal!
As this strange and unparalleled growth unfolded, Yuma began to seize power the moment he killed Uchiha Setsuna.
Sarutobi started to worry about the consequences. Was his decision right for Konoha?
The next day, the changes within the Uchiha clan were fully revealed to everyone in Konoha.
Uchiha Setsuna's fall and Yuma's rise to power shocked the entire village.
In the elegant garden of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi and Hizashi sat facing each other, with the sound of startled deer filling the air.
Regarding this news, they exchanged looks.
"This Uchiha Yuma is too much..." Hyuga Hiashi pondered for a moment, unsure how to describe this shocking young man.
"Brother, what you're trying to say is that he's too abnormal!" Hyuga Hizashi, seated across from Hiashi, completed his sentence.
Hiashi, feeling certain, replied, "Yes, it's abnormal!"
Could it not be considered so?
Whose ninja strength could rival that of a Kage at just thirteen?
At thirteen, he was already killing opponents within his clan and taking power!
The Hyuga clan, known for their culture and classical nature, had kept records of all major ninja clans, especially Senju and Uchiha.
But nothing like this had ever been recorded!
"It seems Uchiha is about to produce a terrifying ninja. In the future, when we face Uchiha, we should not provoke them... since we both rely on pupil techniques."
"When facing the Uchiha clan, our clan should be patient for now."
Hiashi, understanding Yuma's strength and ruthless nature toward political opponents, realized that this young man would certainly become Hokage in the years to come.
As a clan with a complex hierarchy, the survival of the Hyuga clan was of utmost importance.
Hiashi had already decided not to compete with Uchiha. Now, he had further resolved...
From now on, the Hyuga clan would stay away from Uchiha.
This wasn't just a shock for the Hyuga clan.
The other major ninja clans were equally taken aback.
Becoming the top power in the ninja world at thirteen—such a feat was unparalleled.
However, at such a young age, taking charge of the clan was beyond everyone's imagination.
When they heard about Yuma's connection with Hokage's apprentice line, their hearts were filled with awe.
Konoha's other clans, too, were cautious and instructed their members not to speak ill of Uchiha in the future.
As the protagonist who had shaken Konoha, Yuma walked leisurely toward Konoha Hospital.
His mood was very pleasant.
Having taken control of Setsuna's faction, he now had more than a dozen Uchiha subordinates.
This was an immense force!
As is well known, when facing the three-tomoe Uchiha, the only way to win was by escaping one-on-one, or contending two-on-one, or even three-on-one.
Yuma calculated his strength and found that he had seventeen subordinates, and including Inari, there were a total of eighteen Uchiha elites.
Knowing that Konoha only had around 10,000 registered ninjas, with the hidden strength of Jōnin clans, the total number reached nearly 20,000.
Out of all these ninjas, only a few hundred were Jōnin.
Eighteen three-tomoe Uchiha were enough to guarantee a victory two-on-one.
The power he now wielded was immense!
Moreover, Yuma's gains didn't end there.
After defeating seventeen Jōnin, plus Uchiha Setsuna, his combat value shot up from 570 to 2370.
With this boost, he made new plans.
At this stage, his primary fighting style combined Flying Thunder God and Uchiha techniques.
With an investment of two thousand points, the techniques were upgraded from blue to purple.
