----------------------------------------
Indeed, my stats had risen sharply, and with every step, I had to be careful not to demolish the ground. I was about to become an heir to the Uchiha Legacy, one of the last scions of the Uchiha bloodline… the compound at my disposal and their, admittedly already raided but still useful Jutsu collection.
For my next stage, my plans were riding on the knowledge and ability of Orochimaru. I knew one of his agents, Kabuto, and could possibly find him within the next 5 years… but for the best chance of success, I had to wait until the chunnin exams. If Orochimaru could help me, which I anticipated to be possible based on his nature and desire for immortality, then my versatility and possibly my strength would skyrocket once more.
Now it was time to wait, and play the role of the lost scion of the Uchiha… chakra would rise by itself and I had no false hope that I could invent any Jutsu. One good thing will come out of this 5-year wait though. The Shadow Clone Jutsu and while I had no shortage of time, it was never bad to have more. It was a very versatile Jutsu in combat.. though wood clone would suit me more considering my durability.
Still, shadow clones can't take the damage… but they can surely dish it out, and while it was possible for me to get it now, I had insufficient chakra to make it worthwhile and the possibility of my actions being found out was high, thus increasing the defenses and changing the future of Naruto, leaving the future uncertain.
With Naruto getting it all I needed was but a glance. I could wait… I could always wait until the scales tilted to my advantage.

(1 Year Later)
(Sarutobi Hiruzen POV)
Kei Uchiha… at least that was his name now. Recognized as an Uchiha and being one of the three remaining alive, the civilian council had been basically dragging him up the social hierarchy as a possible clan head. The only thing stopping him was the fact that Sasuke was the heir to the deceased clan head… basically blood-legitimacy.
But the boy was smart… too smart. He was determined and focused, meaning he had a goal and I was nowhere near finding out what it was. While his emotions towards protecting this village felt genuine… they also felt distant. After all even Danzo thought he was doing the best for the village.
I had no doubt in my mind that Kei Uchiha would find a way to rise to the position of clan head, especially with the civilian council wrapped around his fingers. Sasuke was too focused on getting his revenge and didn't pay them any attention, but Kei actively interacted with them.
A few well-placed suggestions would go far in warping Sasuke to agree with Kei's point of view… and I was powerless to stop it. Sasuke Uchiha didn't trust anyone in the village, and he didn't want to have anything to do with them either.
While worried I couldn't help but praise the new addition to the Uchiha. He had no hand in the clan's downfall but took full advantage of it once he learned. It showed high intelligence and decisiveness. All that he needed was time to become wise and actual power.
-------------------------
(Back to 'Kei' POV)
Everything was going better than planned. The civilian council was blind to the shinobi world. They knew that Senju and Uchiha were names that radiated power and fear since time immemorial and now that the only remaining one between the two was in a dire condition they found a possibility to get on the good graces of a powerful future entity.
I couldn't care less, but this political power could be of use in certain cases… Danzo needed support to become Hokage, and the promise of Uchiha's support would go far in securing his position among shinobi's… not that I would actually follow through. By the time I had to fulfill my promise, I would be long gone.
Even if it didn't work and Danzo doesn't bite, this would be but a bonus, I have no real need of it. What can be now taken by words can also be later taken by force.
Making my way towards the compound I bought some medicinal herbs and a few extra clothes. I couldn't exactly explain to Sasuke that I was basically parading around naked could I?
As I arrived at the clan head's house I could hear noises coming from the backyard. Walking in I called for Sasuke.
"Sasuke, we need to talk about the clan management issue."
"Not now, I'm training." – he ended on quite the sharp note. Guess he didn't like the fact that I had activated the Sharingan and he hadn't yet.
"…Do you like this house?"
"Hn… None of your business."
"Then you won't mind if you lose it? Afterwards, you will lose the ownership of the ground you are training on and we'll just have to wait and see how far you can progress by training in a bathroom while throwing toilet paper instead of shurikens and kunais."
Hearing me, the next kunai he threw missed the target completely.
"What?"
"It's not as if we can make any money, and what we have is going to be taken if we don't do something. We are a treasury open to everyone…"
"Hn… Let them come and try." - He sneered.
"They already are, I checked the Jutsu storage, most of the high-ranked ones have already been taken… or do you think your brother had an interest in carrying a sack of Jutsu's he could memorize with one look?"
"WHAT…. Then what can I do?" – He asked as he rushed towards me.
"Nothing… no offense but you have been training to be a shinobi and have had no training in finances or management… and while we do not need to worry too much about managing fellow clansmen we do need to take care of the finance, a lot of materials are being bought per their contracts but we have no need of them anymore, we are bleeding money and we have no shinobi to earn anything back."
"The Uchiha's are Konoha's police force."
"Not anymore, we have been stripped of that position as we lack the numbers to effectively complete it."
"… Is there anything we can do?" – He said, almost desperate.
"We are starting the academy soon, but meetings with all our partners will have to be held, contracts canceled, new ones made, we will need to pass the land into your name. We will also need to appoint you as the head of the Uchiha, the paperwork will need to be completed as well as the day-to-day matters will need your approval."
"How long will this take? Won't it cut down my training?"
"This is only the essentials, we will need to discuss further with the civilian council as the other clan's opinion of us is rock bottom. In 3 years you might be able to go back into training."
"WHAT?! I CAN'T PUT OFF MY TRAINING FOR 3 YEARS!!!" – Sasuke screamed at me.
"Well, if we want to keep a roof over our head we need to do it." – I slowly explained to him.
"…Can't you do it? I don't even understand half of what you explained… can't I just give you my approval now?"
"You are the current heir to the Uchiha clan, and I would need your signature on almost every piece of paper for it to go smoothly. For me to be able to do it we would need you to step down as the patriarch and appoint me in your stead, hahaha." – I laughed at his proposition… but he didn't.
"Can you do it though?" – he asked seriously as he clenched his teeth.
"Are you serious? This is YOUR legacy."
"This contains nothing but memories… and even that will be gone if I don't do this."
"And you are asking me to waste at least 3 years of my future to save your past?"
"I…." – Sasuke looked down and remained speechless as he tightened his fists.
"I agree." -He whipped his head up as I responded with a smile.
"But… what about…" – He started as I stopped him.
"We are each-others only family. As long as you need my help just ask, and I'll do whatever I can." – I said as I smiled warmly as his eyes widened.
"… thanks…" – he said in a muffled voice.
"I'll go ready the papers, don't worry, I won't let them take what's yours."
As I turned around I heard another muffled response, this time much, much more silent.
"…it's ours…"
A feral grin emerged on my face, my 3 tomoes rotating as I thought to myself. Hook, Line, and Sinker.
