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

"Impossible! Deciding the future? What kind of ridiculous ability is that?" Fugaku exclaimed in disbelief.

The ability to foresee the future—

Uchiha Fugaku could still comprehend that.

After all, there had always been legends about such abilities in this land.

The Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the Miko of the Land of Demons...

Both were known to possess the ability to foresee the future.

This power existed in the world, albeit rarely.

But the idea that the Mangekyō Sharingan could determine the future?

That was something truly difficult for him to believe.

Seeing the disbelief on Fugaku's face, Yuma merely shrugged helplessly.

He wasn't lying.

When his eyes evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan...

That relentless pursuit of power had refined his pupil technique—Ichimokuren.

It could truly...

Limit the infinite possibilities of the future to only one outcome.

It was no longer just a vague possibility.

However, due to a lack of power output, he had previously been unable to affect life forms stronger than himself.

It could only serve as a disruptive force.

But now...

With the immense strength of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan...

Yuma believed that even a being on the level of the Sage of Six Paths would fall before his eye technique!

Yuma deactivated his Sharingan and calmed his chakra.

He extended a hand to Fugaku, who was still kneeling on the ground. "Lord Fugaku, whether you wish to admit it or not, this is the reality. I hope that next time, we can have a proper discussion."

Fugaku remained silent for a moment before finally speaking. "This match is your victory, Yuma. If you have something to say, I am willing to listen."

Despite his loss, Uchiha Fugaku accepted it with composure.

At that moment, Yuma's heart stirred.

"Patriarch Fugaku, I know you're not pleased with my recent actions within the Security Department," Yuma said, contemplating his next words carefully. "But everything I've done has been for the Uchiha."

"For the Uchiha?" Fugaku raised an eyebrow. "To be honest, I don't see it that way."

Fugaku was astonished by Yuma's audacity.

To speak of power struggles so righteously?

Yuma, noticing Fugaku's skepticism, decided it was time to lay out his plans.

"Patriarch Fugaku, in the village, I am recognized as a member of the Hokage lineage, correct?"

"That is true," Fugaku admitted. "But what does that have to do with your actions in the Security Department?"

"You know my strength. At my age, I have a high chance of becoming Hokage."

Fugaku, who had been preparing to refute, suddenly found his breath hitching.

Hokage…

That position had become an obsession for the Uchiha clan.

Suppressing his impatience, Fugaku replied, "Indeed, your strength is already among the best in the ninja world."

Yuma nodded and continued. "I am still too young to become the Fourth Hokage, but the Fifth or Sixth is a strong possibility. As you know, to become Hokage, one must have a solid support base.

"Just as the Third Hokage has the Sarutobi clan and the First and Second had the Senju, I too will need the power of a clan to secure my position."

Hearing this, Fugaku found himself agreeing.

No matter how strong an individual was...

Even legendary figures like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara needed their clans' support.

"So, Yuma-kun, are you saying…?"

"Yes." Yuma nodded. "Since I am still young, I want to start building my support base now."

Turning to look Fugaku in the eye, Yuma continued, "I remember that your son, Itachi, should be around two and a half years old now."

Fugaku's gaze sharpened. "Yuma-kun, what are you suggesting?"

"Since we have decided to unite, as a sign of sincerity, I want Itachi to become my disciple."

Yuma wasn't deceiving Fugaku.

If he was going to recruit the Uchiha clan as his faction, he needed to reassure his allies first.

More than that...

Not long ago, Yuma realized that his mindset had shifted.

When a person gains great power, they begin to think beyond personal strength.

Yuma was no exception.

He didn't consider himself a good person, but his previous life's education had instilled in him a distaste for the twisted society of the ninja world.

A world where the son of a daimyo became a daimyo, the son of a Hokage became a Hokage, and the son of a scapegoat remained a scapegoat.

He detested such a system.

In the past, when his strength was insufficient, he remained silent about it.

The weak had no choice but to endure.

But now, with power in his grasp, he wanted to change the world.

To do that, he needed to grow even stronger.

He needed to build his own faction.

At this moment, after listening to Yuma, Fugaku nodded. "I understand. From now on, I will follow your lead, Yuma-kun."

Defeated yet composed, Fugaku accepted the arrangement.

Within the Uchiha clan, under his and Yuma's leadership, there would only be one voice.

Hearing this, Yuma smiled in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Fugaku-kun, I won't let you down. I have a gift for you that I think you'll like."

"A gift?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

After concluding the discussion with Fugaku, Yuma returned home and reviewed the rewards from their battle.

With the opening of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku's overall strength was evaluated at the Kage level, earning Yuma a reward of one thousand combat points.

Without hesitation, Yuma made his decision.

"System! Upgrade my 'Chakra Seed' trait!"

With the consumption of his newly acquired combat points, a new entry appeared on his panel.

[Chakra Seed (Purple)]: The exclusive source of chakra within you, unlocking the secrets of Ōtsutsuki power!

Effects:

Simulates Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, allowing fusion techniques. Grants the ability to use Wood Release and Lava Release. Enables advanced chakra manipulation akin to the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Reading the description, Yuma's excitement grew.

"So I can now refine chakra into elixirs and transform it into weapons?" he mused, finding the new ability intriguing.

However, after the long discussion with Fugaku, it was already late at night when he returned home.

For now, he just wanted to rest.

Tomorrow, he planned to visit Konoha Hospital to check on Tsunade's progress with her research on White Zetsu cells.

He needed to explore these new possibilities carefully.

Early the next morning.

With a lighthearted step, Yuma made his way to Konoha Hospital.

He was eager to see his partner—Tsunade.

How far had her research on White Zetsu cells progressed?

If it was yielding results, he wanted to test them on Uchiha Fugaku first.

After all, when promising someone a future reward, it was best to offer them a small taste of power in the present.
