The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 53 Konoha's Tumor Family Ranking

Inside the Uchiha Shrine, the flickering candlelight illuminated the solemn faces of everyone present.

Uchiha Mitsumine looked around at everyone and slowly said, "It's a good thing that Orochimaru left the village. Fugaku clan chief will have one less strong opponent in his bid for the Fourth Hokage."

His words caused the atmosphere in the ancestral hall to tense up suddenly. The election of the Fourth Hokage was the key to whether the Uchiha clan could break through the suppression of the higher-ups.

"Also, Daohuo, have you compiled the list I asked you to prepare?"

Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze shifted to Uchiha Inahi, who was sitting in the corner.

Uchiha Inahisa stood up, took out several sheets of paper from the document bag, and distributed them to each of the core members present.

"These are the casualty statistics for the various battlefields of the Third Shinobi World War."

Everyone looked down and saw that the numbers on the paper were shocking.

Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan began to rotate involuntarily. When he saw those numbers, he seemed to smell the bloody scent of the battlefield again.

Casualty rate ranking

The first place is the Hidden Mist Battlefield, with the overall commander being Hyuga Yamato. The casualty rate was 79.6%, with 3000 participants, 2247 killed, and 142 seriously wounded.

The second place went to the Sand Village battlefield, commanded by Orochimaru, with a casualty rate of 67.7%, 7000 participants, 4264 dead, and 479 seriously wounded.

The third place is the Cloud Hidden Battlefield, commanded by Minato Namikaze, with a casualty rate of 58.5%, 5500 participants, 2860 killed and 359 seriously wounded.

Fourth place is the Iwagakure battlefield, commanded by Fugaku Uchiha, with a casualty rate of 45.1%, 8000 participants, 3226 dead and 378 seriously injured.

Uchiha Shisui frowned and sighed, "The high casualties on the Kirigakure battlefield are because most of the 3000 were students who graduated early, but why is the casualty rate on the Sunagakure battlefield also so severe?"

Uchiha Mitsunori sneered, "Because the Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, Aburame, and other clans were all transferred to the Kumogakure battlefield by Hiruzen Sarutobi to help the Yellow Flash rack up battle records. Apart from 1500 Hyuga clan members and 300 Senju clan members, the remaining 5200 people on the Sunagakure battlefield were all civilian ninjas. It's already a miracle that Orochimaru was able to hold out for so long."

"Ha~ha~ha!" Uchiha Yakumi raised the paper high and laughed.

He raised his voice and sneered, "The Hyuga clan really lost big this time. They bet on Orochimaru, and as a result, of the 1500 men they sent to the Sunagakure battlefield, 893 were killed and 94 were seriously injured. Hiruzen Sarutobi took pity on them and gave them the position of commander-in-chief of the Kirigakure battlefield, and as a result, they sent 300 men, 243 were killed and 42 were seriously injured."

Upon hearing these battle damage figures, Uchiha Hachimoku laughed out loud.

"The Hyuga clan is a thousand-year-old clan, and this time they've really had a run of bad luck. They only have 2166 ninjas in total, and now 1136 have died and 136 are seriously injured, losing more than half of their strength. It will take them more than ten years to recover."

Upon hearing this, a few cold laughs rang out from inside the ancestral hall. The Hyuga clan had always been arrogant, but now they had suffered a great loss of strength because they had chosen the wrong side.

Uchiha Sanfeng's smile faded, his gaze turning cold: "The reason Iwagakure had the lowest casualty rate on the battlefield is because our Uchiha, Kurama, and Kazami clans were at the forefront, which allowed the casualties of civilian ninjas to be kept under control."

"But precisely because of this, 1277 of our Uchiha clan members died in the Iwagakure battlefield, 122 died in the Kirigakure battlefield, and 63 died during the attack on Kirigakure. In total, 1462 Uchiha clan members died in battle, and 175 were seriously injured or disabled."

Upon hearing of the many casualties among their clansmen, the ancestral hall fell into a deathly silence.

Uchiha Mitsunori slowly stood up, a cold light flashing in his Sharingan eyes.

"I have compiled the casualty data of various clans into two lists, namely the 'Konoha Heroic Clan List' and the 'Konoha Tumor Clan List,' and I plan to release both lists together."

Everyone looked at the contents of the two lists.

The number one on the hero list is the Uchiha clan. Total number of ninjas: 3819. Total number of participants: 3819. 1462 died in battle and 175 were seriously injured.

Second on the Hero Ranking: Hyuga Clan, total number of ninjas: 2166, number of participants: 2000, number of deaths: 1136, number of serious injuries: 136.

The third-ranked Heroes' List is the Kurama Clan, with a total of 1244 ninjas, 1200 of whom participated in the battle, resulting in 568 deaths and 113 serious injuries.

......

Number one on the list of most problematic ninjas: Sarutobi Clan, total number of ninjas: 1644, number of participants: 1100, number of deaths: 54, number of serious injuries: 11.

The second most troublesome clan is the Utatane family. Total number of ninjas: 848, number of participants: 800, number of deaths: 16, number of serious injuries: 2.

The third most troublesome clan is the Shimura family, with a total of 616 ninjas, 600 of whom participated in the battle, 27 of whom died, and 3 of whom were seriously injured.

......

Because the data was collected by Uchiha Inahikawa, he stood up to explain to everyone.

"The 'Toxic List' mainly records certain clans that cheated and shirked responsibility during the war. For example, the Sarutobi clan had a total of 1644 ninjas, but they only sent 1100 to fight. Of these, 500 were responsible for logistics and transportation, and 600 were stationed in relatively safe areas. Moreover, they abandoned their comrades many times during the war, so their actual number of casualties was only 54. The Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans were the same; their casualty rates were pitifully low."

Uchiha Mitsunori clapped his hands to attract the attention of the others.

"I plan to make 8 copies of these lists. I want every villager in Konoha to know who truly protected them on the battlefield... and also to let those clans who were sacrificed by the higher-ups understand how many people Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisions killed... Only in this way can Fugaku, the clan head, gain enough support in his bid for the Fourth Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha stood up excitedly.

He crossed his arms, his Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotating: "The war of public opinion has begun, but this alone is not enough. We need allies: the Hyuga, Senju, Ino-Shika-Cho, and other clans are all suitable allies, and we should do our best to win them over."

Uchiha Mitsumine nodded in agreement, saying, "I previously promised the Hyuga clan an advisory elder position, and they were willing to support us. Before clearing out the Root base, I spoke with Senju Akagi, and they were also willing to support us. During this war, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio also had a lot of complaints about Sarutobi Hiruzen, so we were able to win them over... As for the civilian ninjas, once they see the list we distributed... they will understand who is truly willing to protect them."

In the Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties but also achieved great feats.

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze swept over each of his clansmen present: "From today onwards, the Uchiha clan officially participates in the election for the Fourth Hokage. I hope you will all work together!"

The Eighth Hokage also stood up, raised his right arm high, and shouted fervently, "The Hokage position...it's finally going to be ours, the Uchiha!"
