Furthermore, another factor constraining the development of the Uchiha Clan could not be overlooked. Although they held original shares in Konohagakure at its founding, choosing to reconcile with the Senju Clan was, to a certain extent, equivalent to betraying their original employers.
Because of this, they lost the trust of the Daimyo. Coupled with the continuous smearing of the Uchiha Clan by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, the Daimyo harbored deep suspicions and concerns regarding whether an Uchiha was fit to hold the position of Hokage, naturally making it impossible to offer them any support.
Not only that, but the four prized disciples of Senju Tobirama had erected an impenetrable defense. They kept watch day and night, strictly guarding against the Uchiha Clan and refusing to allow them to set foot even half a step into the core area of Konoha.
