If I could reach the Vice Clan Leader's level, my life would be fulfilled.
Also, have you noticed that his space-time ninjutsu might be even stronger than the Fourth Hokage's? I haven't heard of anyone else transferring so many people at once."
The surrounding clan members echoed these praises, while those who hadn't seen Uchiha Arata's Susanoo curiously inquired about the scene.
Arata ignored the admiring gazes and whispers, closing his eyes and folding his arms as he waited for Shisui and Itachi to report to Fugaku.
Having transferred over a hundred clan members from Takama no Hara, his eyes were still sore and strained, and he wanted to maintain his image in front of the clan.
Once Shisui and Itachi finished reporting, Arata felt his eyes ease and stepped in front of Fugaku, nodding slightly.
"Clan Head, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. Do you have any further instructions?"
Fugaku's stern expression softened at Arata's words.
He nodded.
"You've done well, Arata. You are now also Sasuke's teacher, so we can consider ourselves one family.
Don't be too formal. While I'm away from the Uchiha territories, you and Elder Ryo will handle things.
If anything urgent arises, consult the elder."
Fugaku's tone became more serious.
"Uchiha Arata, carry yourself with the dignity of the Vice Clan Leader.
This position was decided by the elder and myself, and you are worthy of it.
"While I am away, you are in command. The elder is only there to assist you.
The future of the Uchiha clan rests on your generation.
You must grow quickly....not just in power, but in wisdom and strategy. These are skills you must learn and improve upon."
Arata's body tensed. He realized Fugaku intended to cultivate him as the future clan leader.
Since the leadership line had been passed down through Fugaku's branch after Uchiha Madara left Konoha, and given their branch's prestige and strength, the next clan head would likely be either Uchiha Itachi or Sasuke.
With Itachi awakened to the Mangekyō Sharingan, barring unforeseen developments, he was almost certain to become clan head.
Even though Arata had used the Besshintenjin, he did not interfere with this perception.
Fugaku had willingly planned to hand over the clan leadership to him.
Looking back, arranging for Sasuke to train under Arata was also a strategic move to pave the way for him.
Being Sasuke's mentor aligned Arata with the leadership line, reducing future obstacles to becoming clan head.
Although Arata didn't particularly care about the title, valuing his own strength above all, he was touched by Fugaku's trust and nodded in acknowledgment.
He then bid farewell to Shisui and Itachi. Shisui, as always, was warm, while Itachi's attitude had become very friendly ever since learning Arata had become Sasuke's teacher and had saved Shisui.
Even seeing Fugaku intending to pass the leadership to Arata did not change Itachi's demeanor; he responded politely to Arata's greetings, demonstrating his exceptional character and discernment.
Without lingering further, Arata waved his hand, transferring the clan's supplies he had stored in his spatial dimension to the open ground.
After saying goodbye, he transported himself back into his own space.
Having successfully delivered Fugaku and the first team to Whirlpool Island, his mission was complete.
The first team would likely take a week to finish their tasks. Arata also needed to report to the Third Hokage, as previously promised.
Visiting the Third Hokage's ANBU early would allow him to familiarize himself with Kakashi and Yamato, gather intelligence,
and, once he had trained his body with the Lightning Release Armor and upgraded his Mangekyō to Eternal Mangekyō,
he could copy Kakashi's Kamui and Yamato's Wood Release techniques.
At that point, his combat power could surpass ANBU-level peaks, rivaling the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.....entering the super-ANBU tier.
After delivering Uchiha Fugaku and the others to Whirlpool Island, Uchiha Arata returned to his spatial dimension.
He didn't rush back to Konoha but stayed in his space to continue training his Lightning Release Armor.
Arata felt that, with his physical strength increasing, his Mangekyō Sharingan was close to evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
For the past two days, his eyes had been tingling with anticipation.
Finishing his training with excitement and satisfaction, Arata didn't linger.
He left the space and returned to his home in Konoha.
After a quick wash, since he had sweated during training, he equipped himself and departed for the heart of Konoha: the Hokage's office.
