When it comes to the big picture of "loving Konoha," one cannot help but mention the "Will of Fire" promoted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
This half-baked "education on patriotism for the Village" has become the most firmly promoted agenda since Hiruzen Sarutobi took office as Hokage.
With the great war on the verge of breaking out, Hiruzen Sarutobi has repeatedly promoted the "Will of Fire" patriotism education throughout Konoha, especially at the Ninja Academy and the large gatherings of the Jonin class; he has mentioned this point every time.
Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire also burns endlessly!
The light of the fire will continue to illuminate the Village and allow new leaves to sprout.
Hearing these "clichés," Uchiha Fucheng chuckled to himself.
"With Hiruzen Sarutobi's limited skills, he might not even be as capable as a college graduate Village official from Li Village."
Thus, Uchiha Fucheng gained confidence.
During the Konoha Military Police Force [Village Open Day] event, he also delivered a public speech to many Konoha villagers.
"The name Konoha was first proposed and named by the Uchiha Clan. We have the deepest and most fervent love for Konoha.
For the Uchiha Clan, Konoha is our original intention and origin that we can never forget, and in the future war, the Uchiha Clan will definitely not forget our original intention!
The spirit of Konoha!
Is the spirit of the Uchiha!"
The influence of this speech even surpassed Hiruzen Sarutobi's "the fire burns endlessly."
"Not forgetting the original intention" and "The Uchiha named Konoha Village" became high-frequency buzzwords in Konoha's heated discussions over the past two days.
Uchiha Fucheng was so cunning; he directly omitted Uchiha Madara's name.
The name Konoha was indeed coined by Uchiha Madara, a fact that Hashirama even admitted, but how many ordinary villagers can remember Madara's deeds?
He perfectly positioned the Uchiha Clan as the leader and "founder of Konoha."
As the Senju Clan went into hiding, gradually spreading out and blending into the common people.
His Uchiha Clan is the true creator and heroic clan of this Konoha Village.
"What does it mean to not forget the original intention?"
"What does'since ancient times' mean?"
Uchiha Fucheng (tactically leaning back) spoke eloquently.
...
After adjusting a few important reforms, Fucheng decided to personally deal with the "mental time bomb" buried within the Uchiha Clan.
Naka Shrine.
That "tampered with" stone tablet even allowed Black Zetsu to deceive Uchiha Madara.
Moreover, the subsequent Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were also deeply influenced by the malicious guidance of this stone tablet.
Considering that the next Ninja War in the Land of Rain is about to begin, if someone happened to awaken the Mangekyo, seeing this misinformation would be troublesome.
Therefore, following his memory of the manga, Fucheng easily found this mysterious stone tablet hidden under the shrine.
The stone tablet allows one to see different inscriptions written by the Six Paths Sage according to the different levels of the Sharingan.
It records many unknown secrets.
The viewing order is, in sequence: Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and Rinnegan.
Although Uchiha Fucheng didn't see much content, he possessed the "superpower" of knowing spoilers.
Fucheng could naturally guess the content hidden in the stone tablet.
What he had to do was very simple: destroy this stone tablet directly!
In this way, as the last person to have seen the content of the stone tablet, he would have the final right of interpretation.
The first step: make rubbings of the correct inscriptions from the first two parts.
The second step: use the clumsy method of heating and then cooling to directly destroy the internal structure of the stone tablet through thermal expansion and contraction of the material.
Finally, he sprinkled the powder from the destroyed stone tablet bit by bit into the small river near Naka Shrine.
This strange behavior of his quickly alerted a White Zetsu guarding and monitoring Naka Shrine.
A special intelligence report regarding the Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine was transmitted back to Uchiha Madara's ears.
The current Uchiha Madara was not yet in the miserable state of being covered in tubes as he would be more than a decade later.
However, his increasingly aging and sickly body could no longer support Uchiha Madara in constantly stirring up trouble in the Ninja World.
Having obtained the shell of the Ten-Tails, Uchiha Madara was like a pitiful person who had been tricked into buying a second-hand Apple phone.
The main life-sustaining tube connected to the Ten-Tails had become Uchiha Madara's [life tether], requiring him to "recharge" every few hours.
From time to time, Uchiha Madara needed to plug in the tube to recharge and recover for a while.
Poor signal, fast battery drain, no high-power fast charging, and occasional lag.
This "Old Madara" body, drained of nutrients by the Rinnegan and having become tattered, seemed to have become a daily retirement routine for him and Black Zetsu.
"Why did only one of the three monitoring White Zetsu return?"
Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, after listening to the White Zetsu's report, always felt something was wrong.
White Zetsu's way of thinking was a bit abnormal, but it shouldn't have any problems with normal monitoring and relaying the situation.
White Zetsu replied, "I saw Uchiha Fucheng, that new Uchiha Clan leader. He entered Naka Shrine, and when he came out, he threw a lot of dirt into the river.
I suspect he was digging under the shrine, but I checked the ground beneath the shrine and didn't find any traces of man-made digging."
Uchiha Madara was surprised.
He thought of Naka Shrine, and he also thought of the mysterious stone tablet that could only be deciphered using the Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara pressed, "What about the stone tablet placed underground? Didn't this Uchiha Fucheng awaken the Mangekyo? Did he look at that stone tablet?"
White Zetsu scratched its head, thought foolishly for a moment, then nodded and replied, "I didn't notice if he looked at the stone tablet, but that stone tablet seems to be gone."
"What? Gone, gone?!"
This time, not only was Uchiha Madara surprised, but Black Zetsu on the side also had a head full of question marks.
"What does 'gone' mean? Was it stolen?"
White Zetsu shook its head, "The stone tablet is very big and hard to move. If a group of Uchiha came to move it, I would definitely have noticed, but I didn't see anyone moving the stone tablet outside."
Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes viciously, "It seems this new clan leader is the one who took the stone tablet away."
Black Zetsu nodded secretly and also asked, "What about the other two White Zetsu in the vicinity? Did you see them?"
White Zetsu shook its head, "I saw one a few days ago, the one on the outskirts of Konoha. It seems he was blown up by someone experimenting with bombs outside Konoha Village.
I found some White Zetsu remains that had turned into wood fragments in a large crater at an explosion test site. It was a sand and dirt pit bigger than this cave, and besides the White Zetsu remains, I didn't find anything else.
That White Zetsu was a fool who liked to pick up stones. I guess he ran into Konoha's explosion test site and was accidentally blown up underground. I think he must have been blown to pieces."
Black Zetsu looked helplessly at White Zetsu's foolish appearance, looking disgusted.
White Zetsu's answer almost made Uchiha Madara's nose crooked with anger.
However, Madara felt that this White Zetsu's intelligence report was very detailed.
It not only explained the situation at Naka Shrine clearly but also relayed a lot of information about the Uchiha Clan that it had eavesdropped on.
In particular, the information about the Uchiha Clan holding meetings at Naka Shrine was especially important to Madara.
Someone who can awaken the second or third stage of Susanoo?
Someone who can make all clansmen abandon factional strife and unite around him.
Someone who can also promote internal reforms within the Uchiha?
"Interesting, this Uchiha Fucheng is almost as capable as I am," Madara muttered to himself.
"This Uchiha Fucheng is actually promoting that the Village name of Konoha was named by the Uchiha ancestors?"
The more information he heard, the more curious Uchiha Madara became about this mysteriously rising Uchiha Fucheng.
"Black Zetsu, send some extra, smarter White Zetsu, at least ten or more, to ensure the surveillance of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fucheng, and even those around Uchiha Fucheng.
I need more and more detailed information. Perhaps some of our future plans will need such a talented Uchiha who can awaken the Mangekyo?"
