Hokage: I Am an Uchiha with the Power to Extract Entries

Uchiha Fugaku didn't have to wait long before Yuma, led by Tiehuo, arrived at his office.

"Lord Fugaku, Lord Yuma has arrived. I'll take my leave now."

"Thank you for your hard work, Tetsuka-kun." Fugaku acknowledged with a nod, pleased by Uchiha Tetsuka's dedication.

Bang.

The door closed gently behind him, leaving Yuma and Fugaku alone.

Yuma looked at Fugaku, who wore a serious expression.

"Lord Fugaku, it's been a while… Is there something important that you needed to discuss?"

Fugaku, upon seeing Yuma's confident smile, hesitated. The sharp words he had prepared suddenly seemed out of place.

Noticing this hesitation, Yuma shook his head internally.

He already understood Fugaku's personality—he had seen it clearly in the original timeline.

In the original world line…

The fact that Fugaku was so easily controlled by the village was proof of his weakness.

Clan meetings were held daily, yet no concrete decisions were ever made. The clan was always planning, but never executing.

As the clan leader, he had no real desire for a coup.

Yet, he allowed himself to be coerced by the hawks into leading a rebellion.

Aside from strength, his leadership skills were a disaster.

Even now, Yuma could tell—Fugaku clearly disapproved of his growing influence in the Security Department, but instead of confronting him outright, he hesitated, masking his concerns behind polite words and forced smiles.

Sighing internally, Yuma decided he wasn't in the mood for a drawn-out argument.

His expression turned serious as he spoke bluntly, "Lord Fugaku, I'm here, yet you hesitate to say anything. Let's just be direct, shall we? Are you concerned about my growing influence in the Security Department?"

Hearing this, Fugaku's tense expression eased.

His emotions were complicated—both relieved and unsettled.

On one hand, he was embarrassed that the young man in front of him had so easily seen through his indecisiveness.

It made him question his own leadership abilities.

On the other hand, he was relieved.

If Yuma was bringing this up directly, it meant he wasn't planning to forcefully seize power like Uchiha Setsuna had attempted in the past.

Although Fugaku's recent awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan had given him newfound confidence, he still preferred to avoid unnecessary conflict.

"That's right," Fugaku admitted, sorting out his thoughts. "As the clan leader, it's only natural for me to be concerned about such matters, don't you think?"

"You're absolutely right," Yuma nodded. "As the leader, it's only logical for you to react to any perceived erosion of your authority."

Fugaku was about to continue, but Yuma interrupted.

"But Lord Fugaku, words alone are meaningless," Yuma said firmly. "Let's settle this the Uchiha way—through a spar."

In his previous life, through manga and now through personal experience, Yuma had learned a crucial truth—

For an Uchiha, words meant nothing until you proved your strength.

They wouldn't listen unless they were shown overwhelming power.

Like father, like son—Fugaku was no different from Sasuke in this regard.

They both suffered from what Yuma called 'sunny weather syndrome'—confident when things were going their way, but hesitant and unsure when things got complicated.

And Yuma could sense it.

Fugaku was feeling confident—far too confident.

Which could only mean one thing.

He had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The solution was simple.

He would spar with Fugaku, who had just awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and suppress this rising confidence.

Only then would Fugaku truly listen.

More importantly, this was an opportunity for Yuma as well.

The awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan led to a massive power boost.

Its ultimate Yin-style chakra would react with the user's physical body—specifically, the Yang-style chakra—causing an immense surge in power.

At the same time, the Sharingan itself would evolve.

Enhanced perception, superior motion tracking, greater genjutsu ability, and, most crucially, the awakening of special Mangekyō abilities.

All of this meant that any Uchiha who awakened these eyes would naturally ascend to Kage level.

And Yuma had his own reasons for this fight.

His combat system granted him 1,000 combat points whenever he sparred with a Kage-level opponent.

Two birds, one stone.

Fugaku, unaware of Yuma's true motives, felt excitement rising in his chest.

The suggestion to determine superiority through a battle made his eyes light up.

He had been waiting for an opportunity like this.

It had been some time since he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and he believed that with this power, he couldn't possibly lose.

"Then it's decided!" Fugaku declared. "Where do you propose we fight, Yuma?"

"The hill behind Naka Shrine," Yuma suggested.

Fugaku nodded in agreement.

"That's the perfect location," he said. "The entire five-kilometer radius around the shrine is protected by Uchiha-exclusive barriers. No matter how much noise we make, the village won't be able to detect it."

"That's exactly why I chose it," Yuma smirked.

As everyone knew…

Konoha was founded by both the Senju and Uchiha.

Or rather, to be more precise—

It was founded by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha land had originally been at the heart of Konoha.

It was only after the Nine-Tails Incident that the clan was pushed to the outskirts.

Before that, Naka Shrine was one of the most sacred locations for the Uchiha, and they had surrounded it with exclusive barriers.

Even Senju Tobirama hadn't objected.

After all, the Uchiha had practically handed over their land for the village's foundation.

The shrine and the surrounding forest were the only areas where they maintained complete control.

And that's exactly why Yuma had chosen it.

It was the perfect place for an unrestricted battle.

In the forest behind Naka Shrine…

Whoosh!

With a sharp tearing sound, Yuma and Fugaku appeared at their chosen battleground.

Fugaku patted his hands together, brushing off nonexistent dust.

"So this is the Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique…" he muttered, a mix of admiration and irritation in his tone. "What an incredible technique."

On the surface, Fugaku remained calm.

But deep down…

Experiencing the Flying Thunder God firsthand was unsettling.

And for the first time since unlocking his Mangekyō Sharingan…

He felt a flicker of doubt.
