Chapter 681: The Founder of the Uchiha Clan
"First Patriarch, have all of us Uchiha gathered in this era just to wait for one of our own clansmen to send us back, to then await the annihilation of the Uchiha?"
Although Sasuke and the others still existed, a family of a dozen or so people was nothing compared to the once-glorious Uchiha. Now, the dozen or so patriarchs of the Uchiha had also arranged themselves in order. From the very first to the last, a total of thirteen generations of clan heads were present.
The first patriarch could even be traced back to the Warring States Period, a time even more distant than Madara Uchiha's era. The last generation's Uchiha patriarch was, naturally, Fugaku.
He sat there, his eyes tightly shut and his brow furrowed. It was clear he was deeply troubled right now. Perhaps he was agonizing over whether to accept the arrangement of fate, or whether to resist it.
In the current Konoha, there was Sasuke, there was Itachi, and there was also his adorable granddaughter, Sarada. While he had no ambitions to rule Konoha or the entire ninja world, being able to enjoy the happiness of family was something Fugaku also deeply desired.
And now, all of this was within his grasp.
As long as he spoke up about one thing, Sasuke would ultimately be unable to send them back, unless Sasuke personally slaughtered all of his own clansmen. But Sasuke would absolutely never do such a thing. After all, even if he could bring himself to kill others, what about himself? What about Itachi?
If Sasuke were truly that ruthless, he would have likely already become the divine ruler of the ninja world, mastering everything. But the fact that he hadn't meant that while Sasuke appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, his heart still had its own bottom line.
And a person with a bottom line was much easier to deal with, even if that person wielded absolutely overwhelming power.
"My Uchiha, once a prosperous clan, has become a small family of only a dozen or so people in this era!"
"Without any external influence, in just a few years, the Uchiha clan's bloodline will truly be diluted, eventually leading to complete extinction."
"Just like the Senju clan of the past, completely integrated into Konoha!"
The Senju clan was not destroyed by others either, but because years of warfare had claimed too many of their clansmen. Even Nawaki had died; one could only imagine how many Senju had perished. Under such circumstances, with the bloodline of the few remaining Senju diluted over one or two generations, they were completely integrated into Konoha, no longer able to carry the Senju surname.
The Senju of today could be the Uchiha of the future.
Thinking of this, the successive patriarchs were all unwilling to accept it, and they looked towards Fugaku.
"Thirteenth Patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku, that is your son. Can't you go and talk to him?"
"Even just leaving a few more Uchiha women would be enough."
"The Uchiha bloodline absolutely cannot be severed like this!"
This statement gave the other patriarchs a glimmer of hope. But!
Fugaku shook his head. "Based on my understanding of Sasuke, and from the words of my son Itachi, Sasuke will not easily change his decisions!"
Hearing this, the others felt even more helpless.
That title had now spread throughout the entire ninja world. A fact personally acknowledged by the Sage of Six Paths: Sasuke was the sole, absolute pinnacle of the current ninja world! No one was Sasuke's opponent. This title was too great, too resounding, to the point that many clansmen from other eras were on the verge of developing a fanatical worship of Sasuke.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Sasuke gave an order now, even an order to die, many clansmen would immediately and unhesitatingly step forward to carry it out. This was the Uchiha clan; they believed in power, and Sasuke was the absolute representative of power. No one could compete with him, not even the current Hokage of Konoha.
"The destruction of the Uchiha! Is it inevitable?" The other patriarchs were now in great pain.
At this moment, Fugaku stood up. "Perhaps there is a way!"
"What way?" The first patriarch was very excited. Fugaku was the key figure in whether the Uchiha's destiny could be changed.
"Everything depends on Sasuke's will. If we find a way to change Sasuke's will..."
"But didn't you just say it yourself! It's very difficult to change something Uchiha Sasuke has decided!"
Fugaku smiled. "Indeed! It's very difficult!"
"But, sometimes, some things are forced upon you, things you have to do!"
"Perhaps I can't make Sasuke willingly change the Uchiha's fate, to proactively change it, but what if it's passive?"
Passive?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. What did that mean?
"When a person doesn't want to do something, if everyone else places their hopes on him, then eventually this hope will become heavy!"
"It might even change the person's original thoughts!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fugaku. Fugaku's words left everyone in a fog. They felt like they understood, yet they didn't know what to do specifically.
Fugaku smiled. "It's simple. From today onwards, the Uchiha clan will begin to integrate into Konoha!"
"Just as others wish, we will be the benevolent Uchiha clan, integrating into Konoha and forming bonds with the people of this era!"
"If one day we really have to leave, then perhaps they will do something for us too!"
"At the same time, the new patriarch of the Uchiha clan... no... not just a new patriarch. If it's a new Uchiha, then whether the Uchiha can be reborn will depend on Sasuke!"
"Then it should be that the new Founder of the Uchiha, it's time for him to be born!" Fugaku said.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his vision blur. This stunned Fugaku for a moment. Although he had long since awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he rarely used it! Why would his vision decline? What was going on!
Yet, as he was wondering, he suddenly felt that it wasn't his vision declining, but rather that he could see more clearly. The situation where using the Mangekyō Sharingan caused the curse to emerge and seal his light seemed to have improved somewhat. There was even a new power faintly flowing within his body.
'What on earth is happening?'
And at this moment, it wasn't just Fugaku who had this feeling. The other Uchiha patriarchs also had the same sensation.
"The Founder of the Uchiha!" Light flickered in the eyes of all the patriarchs.
"Good, it's decided. The new Uchiha clan, the Founder of the Uchiha is Sasuke!"
The moment all the patriarchs agreed to this decision, it was as if everyone in the entire Uchiha clan felt a subtle change. Those with stronger dōjutsu power felt it even more clearly.
At this very moment, even Uchiha Sasuke himself seemed to feel a new change in his body.
Sasuke didn't understand where this change came from. All he knew was that the moon didn't just have Ōtsutsuki; there were a great many of them. The number of Ōtsutsuki clan members here was so large that Sasuke found it hard to believe. It seemed that due to the chaos, all the Ōtsutsuki clan members who had ever appeared on the moon in the past had all been transferred here.
The power of the Ōtsutsuki, he had finally found its source!
📢 An Important Announcement Regarding the Translation and New Directions! 📢
Hello, dear readers and fellow ninja journey companions! ❤️
Firstly, I want to sincerely apologize for my disappearance in the last few days and for the absence of new chapters of our beloved fanfic. I know you eagerly await each update, and I'm very sorry for this unexpected pause.
I have an important announcement about the future of our translation of "Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents." To maintain the quality and consistency you deserve, I had to make a difficult decision: from now on, we will be posting one chapter per day.
"But why?" you must be wondering. The truth is, the process of bringing this story to you has been more complex than I imagined. The website where I find the original Chinese version inserts several slashes (□) in the middle of the words. This makes the image-to-text conversion process enormously difficult. Each chapter requires a meticulous review to ensure no words are lost and, most laboriously, for every word containing these slashes, I need to manually rewrite the Chinese passage to ensure the translation is accurate. 😫
As you can imagine, this consumes a gigantic amount of time, and to avoid compromising the quality of what I deliver to you, I had to slow down the pace.
✨ But here comes the good news and a special invitation! ✨
If you love "Sasuke Uchiha Perfect Talents" as much as I do and would like to see more chapters posted daily, I invite you to consider supporting me on Patreon! With your support, I can dedicate more time and resources to speed up this process.
Check out our goals:
🎯 With 20 paying members, we'll go back to posting 2 chapters per day!

🔥 And with 50 paying members, we'll reach the incredible milestone of 5 chapters per day!
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference and helps me continue bringing this and other stories to you.
