Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 871 The Powerful Uchiha Clan

The scarcity of Jonin is precisely why both factions in the campaign prioritized the favor of the renowned shinobi clans. These clans are considered "great" due to their extensive history, access to abundant resources, and vast knowledge that creates an optimal environment for training and cultivating Jonin-level ninjas.

These distinguished clans possess a wide range of ninjutsu and secret techniques developed by their ancestors. These techniques have been refined and enhanced over generations, while their battle tactics have been tested and proven on war fronts. Additionally, some clans even possess unique abilities known as Kekkei Genkai.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In comparison, individuals from commoner backgrounds have a relatively low representation among Jonin, and it is rare for them to attain the status of elite Jonin. Of course, figures like Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya are exceptions to this trend, but there is a very good reason they achieved such remarkable strength.

It’s not just their innate talent that enabled them to reach such levels, it’s also because of the proper nurturing they received. However, not every commoner has been fortunate enough to receive the same opportunities as these few exceptional individuals. Consequently, Jonin of commoner origin often have certain shortcomings or flaws that prevent them from advancing beyond the rank of Special Jonin. In fact, it is accurate to say that the majority of Special Jonin hail from commoner backgrounds. This rank was established to provide commoners with a chance to rise through the ranks.

During the Vote of Confidence, it is relatively easy for any clan, regardless of its size, to present a few Jonin members. Among the diverse range of ninjas from various clans, a significant number have retired either due to disabilities or old age. However, despite their retirement, they retain their Jonin status and are fully entitled to participate in the Vote of Confidence.

As the voting continued, a sudden commotion erupted in the square. The cause of the uproar was the sight of a large group of Uchiha clan Jonin walking towards the ballot box at the main entrance of the Hokage Building.

"Oh my god, there are so many Jonin in the Uchiha clan?" exclaimed one bewildered observer.

"Are all these Uchihas Jonin? Could it be some kind of mistake?" questioned another in disbelief.

"Don't be foolish! The Sandaime-sama is observing from above, and there are ANBU ninjas diligently verifying the tickets next to the ballot box. It's impossible for the Uchiha clan to resort to such low-level tricks!" retorted a villager, dismissing any doubts about the Uchiha clan's integrity.

In the past, the villagers had always heard that the Uchiha clan was the foremost clan in the village, but they had never truly grasped its power. Ordinary villagers lacked an intuitive understanding of the clan's strength. However, witnessing the gathering of Uchiha clan Jonin in such numbers to put their Vote in the Ballot Box, the villagers finally realized that the Uchiha clan was indeed deserving of its status as the most powerful Clan in the village.

...

From the rooftop of a tall building overlooking the square, Sasuke pointed towards the approaching Uchiha Jonin and addressed his friends Naruto, Neji, and others who were with him. He exclaimed, "Do you see them? Those are all the Jonin from my clan!"

Sandaime let out a sigh and shook his head. He had no other choice in the matter. The Uchiha clan had numerous ninjas who met the requirements for promotion to the rank of Jonin. Although he had implemented restrictions, there were limits to how much he could restrain their advancements.

This predicament had begun when Shisui and Shinichi awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan one after another. Subsequently, more individuals within Amatsukami and the Akatsuki Organization appeared with Mangekyou Sharingan. Since then, something has changed within the Uchiha Clan. They had all thrown themselves into intense training and diligent work, resulting in a visible increase in their overall strength over the past decade.

If not for the fact that several elite Uchiha members had been killed or kidnapped by Amatsukami and Akatsuki, the numbers would be even higher. It was also possible that one or two more awakeners of the Mangekyou Sharingan had emerged within their ranks.

Following the Uchiha Clan's display of strength, a large group of Hyuga Clan members made their way towards the ballot box, seemingly determined to regain momentum. Like the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan also boasted a significant number of Jonin members.

However, in contrast to the Uchiha clan, the majority of Hyuga clan members present were special Jonin. Among the crowd, there were many elderly individuals with grey hair, some of whom required assistance from attendants to walk. A particularly frail-looking lady, who appeared to be well over a hundred years old, trembled as she moved, relying on the support of two Hyuga clansmen to navigate.

Witnessing this scene, Fugaku directed a mocking glance towards Kuroto. However, Kuroto remained unfazed, maintaining a calm expression on his face.

Hiashi, in his efforts to ensure that the Hokage would be chosen from the Hyuga Clan, had gone to great lengths. He even invited retired individuals with limited mobility and physical disabilities to participate in the voting process. These elderly Hyuga clan members had gathered here to cast their votes in support of Kuroto.

Observing this display of loyalty, Kuroto couldn't help but smile.
