Chapter 178:

As Akira's "Crescent Eyed Reaper" alias gets spread farther and farther on the battlefield, the Sannin felt a trace of pressure with Akira catching up them in strength.

Under Akira bright dazzling talent, many talents have to follow behind him in his shadow. Even the Sannin and Minato who have always been the geniuses among other geniuses have been training hard, in order to prevent him from surpassing them or getting left behind. Under Akira's pressure, they progressed very quickly and gotten stronger than canon.

As Akira gradually got stronger, he realized that he should also boost the growth of the three kids and began to implement the 'Akatsuki' plan. The current chaotic battlefield in the Country of Rain is the best time for Akatsuki to take root.

Once Akatsuki develops and grows their base area in the country of rain, Akira will have a good alternative place to escape to if have face any problem in the future.

Therefore Akira is trying hard to teach the Ame trio, which so far yield remarkable result.

Day by day passes by as the Ame kids grow stronger and Konan grown more beautiful with a touch of cold temperament just like in the original story, makes Akira feel both relieved and strange.

"Why do I feel like I am raising a child..." Akira murmured while rubbing his chin and looking at Konan who was practicing her paper ninjutsu in the distance.

Akira guided the kids training for a while and then saw another familiar person approaching him.

It is the second elder of Uchiha's clan, Yasushi Uchiha!

Yasushi Uchiha visited Akira once last time. After learning that Akira had awakened his mangekyo sharingan, he was shocked, but at the same time his attitude towards Akira had completely different.

This time, the second elder came specifically to find Akira.

"Second elder." Akira smiled slightly. After seeing Yasushi Uchiha's arrival, he knew that he must have something to look for himself, so he took the second elder into the house, pour two cups of tea and the two sat opposite each other.

When the second elder saw Akira, he was full of emotion and his heart was complicated. He was both excited and delighted. The second elder as a higher up of Uchiha clan has always been paying close attention to Akira's growth and progress. He is well informed in all of Akira's talent when he was young and the Uchiha clan had put great hope in him. But even so, they wouldn't have thought that Akira would have grown to such an extent now!

Akira's progress is very fast, he quickly rises to fame in the battlefield and now his name on the battlefield of the Country of Rain is already known to everyone. He is also one of the few talented Uchiha to awakened his mangekyo sharingan and was the pride of the Uchiha, the idol and strongest among the younger generation.

The second elder looked at Akira with a complicated gazr, drank a sip of tea and sighed softly: "Akira, you are really amazing. Thinking back when I was young, i really feel ashamed of how I am compared to you."

"Second elder you are too humble, I just had good luck." Akira maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

"Don't be humble. You are Uchiha's hope for the future. Ever since the second Hokage came to power, Uchiha clan has gradually been subjected to suspicion and suppression by some high-ups. The rise of a genius like you is the hope of our clan. "The second elder spoke to Akira heart-to-heart, which made Akira's heart move slightly. It seems like the second elder really has something to say today.

The second elder g.r.o.a.n.e.d: "Your growth on the battlefield is beyond the imagination of the clan and the clan patriarch is also very supportive of you. He wants to make you the fourth elder of Uchiha clan."

To be the fourth elder of the Uchiha?

Akira was taken aback for a moment and his heart moved slightly.

A Uchiha elder has high authority, second only to the head of the family. At present, there are only three elders in the Uchiha and each elder held great authority. They have the power to mobilize the clan forces, discuss big matters and can participate in the decision-making of Uchiha affairs.

This was unexpected to Akira.

"At present, your reputation in the clan is unmatched. In fact, the Clan Patriarch had this intentions for quite some time already, but you were still young and have little qualifications, so we didn't talk about it before." The second elder smiled.

Akira replied: "The three elders are highly respected and the Clan Patriarch's reputation is also spectacularly high, while I feel like I don't have the experiences and qualifications to become the fourth elder"

"Haha, don't be humble, your kid. Looking at the battlefield, who can compare to you? You have made great achievements. Whether it is Konoha or Uchiha, we all regard you as our pride." The second elder smiled.

Akria smiled back, it seems like the Uchiha had really payed much attention to him.

"With your current strength, you are among the best in our Uchiha, so the Clan Patriarch intentionally promoted you to the fourth elder." The second elder smiled, with a mysterious look on his face and whispered: "You are talented. Now you also have high reputation, so it won't be surprising if you have the hope to become the head of Uchiha clan in the future..."

Hearing what the second elder said, Akira finally understood his purpose.

The second elder seems to have taken a fancy to Akira's potential, ready to win him over and even prepare to 'form an alliance' with him. The intention in the second elder's words is clearly to let Akira be the future Uchiha's Clan Patriarch!

Akira understood in his heart and smiled slightly: "Thank you second elder for the kind reminder, I will do my best."

"That's good, that's good." The second elder didn't say much. He knew that Akira is a smart kid and he smiled. The two foxes, older and the younger, looked at each other and both smiled tacitly.

For Akira, of course, the higher the status in Uchiha, the better. After all, Akira intends to develop the power of 'Akatsuki', but Akatsuki has only just getting started after all and it is his secret identity. Hence it be better if his real identity have more fame.

The fourth elder of Uchiha!

It would be great if he could be the elder of the Uchiha clan first.

However Akira is very clear that he is still a little too young now. Although his track record and strength are all there, but he still needs to acc.u.mulate more experience before sitting in that position.

Or to put it simply, he needs more prestige to become the elder of the Uchiha family! Otherwise, Akira's current age is still too young.

After sending away the second elder, Akira thought in his heart, thinking deeply, but a Chunin came to him and said that Tsunade invite him.

Akira put the thoughts in the back of his mind and was going toward Tsunade.

Akira glanced at the sky, only to see that it had gradually turned dark and late, he wonder what Tsunade want calling him over?
