Moreover, from his own close observation, Shoji is more than 80% sure that Uchiha Fugaku is a clan leader who cares deeply about his family and will treat others sincerely. Therefore, Shoji also believes that this clan leader is willing to talk to others.
The most important reason why it got to such a bad point in the original work is that Fugaku had no one to discuss with. Shisui, the strongest person in the clan, and Itachi, his closest son, didn't trust their clan leader.
, his own father only wants to follow his own path.
Fugaku couldn't find anyone in the clan who he could discuss with in a real sense. He could only bear everything by himself. He had to be jealous and suppressed externally, and he had to appease the clan members internally and suppress some hot-tempered clan members.
Temperament, although this patriarch does have a lot to criticize, but it cannot be denied that the pressure he needs to bear is too great.
What the general wants to give the patriarch now is a place where he can vent, a way where he doesn't have to bear everything.
You come inside and I'll control the outside!
Join forces to solve the biggest problem in the clan.
As for whether this clan leader is so insidious that he deliberately deceives himself and uses himself with lies, the general can only say that the probability is very low. If this infinitely close to impossible thing happens.
What else can the general say?
I can only accept my fate.
That really means the Uchiha clan deserves to be exterminated.
The general just lay down and surrendered.
"Thank you for the trust of the clan leader. I will definitely not let the clan get into the worst situation, at least before I die!"
The general bowed his head and said in an extremely serious and solemn tone.
"So, Shoji, can you tell me about your plan? Although generally speaking, it is to gain the recognition and trust of other ninjas, and it is also to make the Sandaime and others believe in us, but this is difficult to achieve, right?
In essence, I think the Sandaime's decision to let you join the Anbu was more of a test and a trial than a sign of trust, right? Especially the elder Shimura Danzo, as a member of our Uchiha clan
As someone who is responsible for the younger generation, it should be clear that this person is the most hostile to our Uchiha clan. It is hard for me to believe that this Danzo would choose to trust and accept us."
The main issues were agreed upon.
Next comes the operational issues above the details.
Although Fugaku was indeed inspired to see another way out for the clan at the previous clan meeting where the general spoke, but in the past six months, Fugaku found that it was very difficult to actually implement it.
As I said just now, recruiting members of the tribe to fight at the border in such a situation has further stimulated the sensitive heartstrings of that group of people, and later it was discovered that it did not benefit the situation at all.
The top management still looks like a block of ice.
This made Fugaku very embarrassed.
"Decades of estrangement are naturally not easy to eliminate. My goal has never been to let these people completely accept us, but just to reverse the current unfavorable situation, just like our elders did in the past.
As usual, after Madara's ancestor defected and left, he later came back to fight the first Hokage in the Valley of the End, which in turn caused the village to be wary of and wary of our clan. What happened next?"
"Hide your capabilities and bide your time, biding your time. This is the choice our elders once made!"
"The correctness of this strategy was also proved later. Our clan has survived peacefully after all. If there had not been the riots caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, or even if the Fourth Hokage had not died in the battle, our clan would have been in the same situation.
It has fundamentally changed, and now it is just back to the starting point decades ago.”
"What we have to do is to copy this process, wait for the next Hokage to appear, and then use our power to support this Hokage!"
Shoji looked at Fugaku with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.
"did you mean?"
Fugaku's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, he said with a hint of urgency.
"Yes, this is my plan. As long as we can suppress the violent atmosphere in the clan and obey the orders of Lord Sandaime as much as possible, the current crisis of the clan can definitely be temporarily suppressed, and whether it is Lord Sandaime or Dan Shimura
Both Zang and Zang are already over fifty years old. We only need to be patient for a few years. When the Fifth Hokage ascends the throne, all problems will not only be solved, but at least they will be greatly alleviated."
"Of course, the most fundamental way is to find the culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. This is the biggest conflict between our clan and the village!"
The general paused and continued.
"But this is difficult, so the current main plan is to choose to endure for a period of time. The words I said before are all to eliminate as much as possible the hostility of some people in the village towards our clan. As long as we don't do anything again
For excessive behavior, even those ninjas who hate our clan the most will not take action against our clan easily."
"This is indeed a feasible plan, but have you considered that the fifth generation will probably inherit the ideas of the third generation and even Shimura Danzo? And judging from the current situation, it is difficult to select the fifth generation.
It’s difficult, and the atmosphere in our clan has reached an extremely boiling point, Shoji.”
Fugaku naturally understood the meaning of Shoji's words, but many times, plans often failed to keep up with changes. Initially, his plan was to rely on the fourth generation Hokage, Minato Namikaze, to change the clan's predicament, but what happened next? It wasn't the Nine-Tails War.
messed up this unexpected incident.
"But even so, there is only one way we can go, because the second option is only that one. I think the patriarch doesn't want to see the clan go on that path, right? Although there are no hundred people in the world.
It’s a matter of 100% probability, but we both know very well that if a clan really chooses the second path, it will be destroyed overnight.”
Shoji shook his head and interrupted Fugaku's words with a solemn expression.
"So no matter how difficult it is, we must do it, otherwise you should know better than me what the result will be. Mr. Patriarch."
"As for the issue of the Fifth Hokage, I think as far as Konoha is concerned, there are only two people who can be qualified, and whoever among these two people serves as the Fifth Hokage will be very beneficial to the future development of our clan.
, at least it can ensure the continuation of the family as before!"
The general stretched out two fingers and spoke softly.
