Uzumaki Makoto's so-called purge plan, including a series of means to control power, can be roughly divided into several aspects:
One is to use the political show of the past few days to win over the direct lineage forces including the former Uzumaki clan leader and the original elders.
Among them, those who were willing to cooperate were taken under Uzumaki Cheng's command and prepared to be observed for a period of time.
Those who were unwilling to cooperate, or even those who questioned the "truth" he gave, were ostracized and suppressed by Uzumaki Makoto.
This kind of exclusion and suppression is specifically manifested in:
Those with job agencies were fucked to the end, while those without job agencies were moved out of their original residences on the grounds that housing was tight, and they were forced to squeeze together and prepare to be observed for a period of time.
The second is to use the excuse of Uzumaki Yuan, the "traitor", to violently integrate his subordinates.
Needless to say, there are people who are willing to cooperate.
Those who were unwilling to cooperate were decisively executed by Uzumaki Makoto "in the name of conspiring with Uzumaki Yuan to kill the former clan leader."
The third is to appease and win over the last commander in Uzushio Village except Uzumaki Makoto himself and Uzumaki Koichi, in an attempt to peacefully regain power.
At the same time, he secretly contacted the unstable elements under the commander in the name of the clan leader and searched for any evidence of his past, which was considered a two-pronged preparation.
The fourth and final aspect is to vigorously recruit some ordinary tribesmen without factions, and use the reading permission of some sealing art materials as a reward to expand the power of the direct lineage as much as possible.
After such a series of actions, Uzumaki Makoto's power is rapidly growing stronger, and he is becoming more and more majestic as a ruler.
That kind of feeling can be said to be self-defeating without being angry.
Even though he is sitting at the wine table now, with a gentle smile on his face, no Uzumaki clan member present dares to have the slightest contempt for Uzumaki Makoto, let alone make any overstep.
Flattery, flattery, admiration, taking the opportunity to show loyalty, and so on.
Uzumaki Cheng listened, and although he had a smile on his face, there was no fluctuation in his heart. Instead, he secretly observed these people to see which ones could be promoted as confidants in the future, and which ones needed to be kicked away as soon as possible.
Putting down his wine glass, Uzumaki Cheng smiled and pressed his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. Then he said: "Everyone, you are willing to believe in me and follow me, the leader of the clan. This is my honor, Uzumaki Cheng."
"In the days to come, I hope that all of you will work together and do your best for our Uzumaki clan, so that all the clan members will become prosperous together, and Uzushio Village will truly become an existence that is not inferior to the five great ninja villages."
"By that time, the rats in Wuyin Village will no longer dare to covet our clan, and there will no longer be a treacherous villain like Whirlpool Yuan in our clan who will do desperate things."
After Whirlpool Cheng finished speaking, everyone echoed in unison:
"The clan leader is right. As long as our clan becomes stronger, those scumbags in Kirigakure will no longer dare to underestimate me!"
"Yes! A bastard like Uzumaki Yuan, if he hadn't seen that our clan was at a disadvantage in the war with Kirigakure, he probably wouldn't have done such a beastly thing!"
Seeing that these people quickly understood the meaning of his words, Uzumaki Makoto said no more, but reached out to pick up the chopsticks. After raising the other hand, he quickly swept around the surroundings with a smile on his face.
The meaning is not diminished:
"Okay, after talking for so long, everyone is hungry, right?"
"Let's get started now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uzumaki Makoto took the lead in using his chopsticks, stuffed a piece of salmon fillet into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Seeing this, other people started to eat one after another. For a while, the place was full of the sound of gobbling. The atmosphere was very warm as they pushed cups and changed cups.
Uzumaki Cheng's face was calm. Seeing that everyone's eating looks were somewhat rude, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart:
Although these people who have been promoted from the bottom have pretty good abilities, they have never seen much of the world, and their words and deeds lack the elegance that belongs to the powerful class.
If they really follow Lei Luo to Konoha in the future, the kind of virtue these people are showing now will inevitably make other people laugh at the Uzumaki clan.
'It seems that it still needs some training...'
The thoughts that flashed through his mind made Uzumaki Cheng secretly decide that he must persuade Lei Luo carefully not to act too hastily.
Lei Luo needed time to develop, and he, Uzumaki Cheng, also needed time to develop. The clan leaders and elders died, and the existing power class was swept away.
Whether it is placing his own people within the new leadership system, training his subordinates, promoting capable tribesmen, or implementing the policies he has formulated earlier... none of these things can be accomplished overnight.
We must go to Konoha, but not now.
At this moment, while Uzumaki Cheng was slowly tasting the delicacies on the wine table and silently thinking about the various subsequent development plans of Uzumaki Village, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Uzumaki Cheng, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
A trace of surprise flashed between his eyebrows. Uzumaki Cheng stopped his hand and looked towards the door, only to see a dark shadow flashing through the curtain on the door.
After thinking about it, Uzumaki Cheng turned around, first apologized to everyone who was looking at each other, then stood up and walked out the door.
Opening the rolling shutter door, Uzumaki Cheng saw Lei Luo as expected.
After the two exchanged words in a low voice, Uzumaki Cheng immediately suggested: "Sir Lei Luo, why don't we go out and talk?"
Hearing this, Lei Luo couldn't help but glance around and saw the room where Uzumaki Cheng was. Not far from the door, not only were some Uzumaki ninjas waiting, but also some waiters walking back and forth. From time to time, they glanced at him.
side.
Thinking that there were so many people here, it seemed that the walls had ears, so Lei Luo did not object and nodded slightly in agreement.
After all, it is better not to let too many Whirlpool tribe members know about some things.
In the next few minutes, Uzumaki Cheng returned to the room to give instructions, then changed his shoes and followed Lei Luo out of the izakaya.
The two of them walked side by side on the street of Uzumaki Village, gradually heading towards the ruins outside the central area, intending to find a place where people could discuss some confidential matters.
Along the way, the Uzumaki clan members on the roadside greeted Uzumaki Cheng and Lei Luo one after another. Uzumaki Cheng responded with a smile, while Lei Luo nodded slightly and forgot about it.
From the surface, Uzumaki Cheng, the clan leader, is quite popular. This may be because of his past reputation, or because his political methods have been gradually reflected in the past few days.
In short, walking along the way, Lei Luo found that most of the people in the Whirlpool tribe were not in a panic mood. It didn't seem like they had just experienced a war, nor did they seem to be affected by the change of rulers.
