Uchiha Fugaku did not answer for the time being. He closed his eyes and began to think about the pros and cons, and tried to find out the crux of the existing problem.
Lei Luo's condition is very simple, so what should I ask for?
Or, should I trust Lei Luo?
The blood on his arm gradually became thicker and turned into gel to block the wound, but Uchiha Fugaku still did not give an answer.
Time passed minute by minute, and just as Lei Luo was gradually feeling impatient, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly opened his eyes and said firmly:
"My fundamental purpose is to eliminate the barriers between my clan and the village, and to eliminate the discrimination and wariness that the higher-ups have always had against our clan."
"If possible, I want one of our Uchiha members to successfully enter the senior ranks and become one of the people in power."
After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku looked at Lei Luo with a complicated face, and asked softly: "I don't know this, can you do it? Lei Luo."
"Well... you really gave me a difficult problem." Lei Luo pondered for a long time, then glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, secretly thinking that this kid really dares to say anything.
Lei Luo thought to himself that Uchiha Fugaku had just met a "conscientious seller" like him. Otherwise, based on his position, he would tell Danzo what Uchiha Fugaku said in a blink of an eye, and the other party would definitely be in trouble.
"I think you should also know why your clan is treated differently, right?" Lei Luo coughed lightly, and did not rush to answer whether he could or could not, but talked eloquently:
"Uchiha Madara's betrayal? The policies of the Second Hokage? Those are historical reasons and the main reasons, but we won't consider them for now."
"In my opinion, the reason why you are still in trouble until now is due to two factors..."
Uchiha Fugaku saw that Lei Luo seemed to have "something", so he put on an expression of attentiveness and motioned Lei Luo to continue.
As for the severe pain that was still coming from his arms, Uchiha Fugaku used his strong willpower to temporarily suppress it, and his expression did not change at all.
He knew very well that Lei Luo would not be alone with him for long, so Uchiha Fugaku cherished this opportunity and was unwilling to give up because of a little physical pain.
As a young idealist, Uchiha Fugaku lacked neither IQ nor courage, nor the courage to change.
Lei Luo would not fully understand Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts. He still analyzed the previous topic:
"The external factors lie in the top management. If you want to reassure those guys, you must either set an "example" like the Thousand Hands Clan, or find a way to bring down the top management."
"Whether it is the third generation or the three elders, they are all disciples of the Second Hokage. They will naturally be affected by his thoughts and look at your clan with a colored eye."
"This conflict cannot be reconciled until..." Lei Luo paused and smiled at Uchiha Fugaku with interest: "One of the parties has been completely eliminated."
Uchiha Fugaku frowned and did not express any opinion on Lei Luo's so-called "irreconcilable contradictions", but from the subtle changes in his expression, Lei Luo could read a bit of disapproval.
Thinking about it, it was still early for the Nine-Tails attack on the village, so Lei Luo's words now are undoubtedly alarmist.
However, Lei Luo did not explain anything, and then said: "As for internal factors, I won't talk about your police force. Let's talk about your Uchiha's "culture"."
"Culture?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Lei Luo in confusion, obviously not sure what the other party meant.
"That's right, it's culture, or thought." Lei Luo nodded and pointed out the problem he saw:
"Hundreds of members of a clan gather together all day long, without communicating with outsiders, not integrating with society, unaware of policy changes, and from time to time they engage in tribalism to confuse people's minds."
"I won't comment on whether this kind of conservative thinking is good or bad, but one thing is clear to me..."
Having said this, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes unconsciously, and a little bit of cold light seemed to escape. In order to let Uchiha Fugaku hear the next words clearly, he deliberately slowed down and said:
"No ruler can tolerate the existence of such a country within a country. No matter you or Hinata, this giant family should have been disbanded long ago."
"The reason why I target you Uchiha is just because you are more of a threat."
The increase in the power and cohesion of private armed forces will inevitably have a negative impact on the existing regime. This principle is universal in any world.
Because this will increase the hidden danger of separatism, it may be a coup. If it succeeds, it is called a "revolution", but if it fails, it is called a "usurpation."
In Lei Luo's view, whether it is Hinata or Uchiha, their power far exceeds that of other ninja clans, and it is completely normal for the senior officials to suppress them.
When Uchiha Fugaku heard this, he couldn't restrain his emotions, and immediately roared: "But we don't mean anything wrong, we just want to live in harmony with the village!"
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's excited face, Lei Luo suddenly recalled a sentence he had heard and said smoothly: "No one cares what you think, your strength is the original sin."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, which suddenly extinguished the anger in Uchiha Fugaku's heart.
Perhaps realizing that Lei Luo was right, Uchiha Fugaku let out a sigh of relief and was speechless for a long time.
Seeing the frustrated expression on the other party's face, Lei Luo secretly regretted that the business had failed, but he did not regret saying those words at all.
Regardless of his inner thoughts or his current position, Lei Luo has no intention of siding with the Uchiha clan and going against the top management of Konoha.
You want to solve the Uchiha clan's problems without going against the top management of Konoha? Sorry, Lei Luo really can't do it.
The words had been made very clear. Even if Lei Luo did not explicitly refuse, Uchiha Fugaku understood what the other party meant. He wanted to leave, but his heart suddenly moved and he blurted out:
"Lei Luo, if you were Hokage, how would you deal with our clan's problems?"
"I am Hokage?" Lei Luo glanced at Uchiha Fugaku in surprise, because this was the second person to ask him a similar question.
Lei Luo originally planned to be perfunctory like last time, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say what was in his heart:
"If I were Hokage, the first one I would deal with would be you Uchiha, and then Hinata."
Lei Luo's frankness obviously shocked Uchiha Fugaku. The latter even forgot about his anger for a moment, but just opened his eyes wide and looked at Lei Luo blankly.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was puzzled: in his impression, no clan member seemed to have offended Lei Luo, right?
