Uzumaki Cheng's words accidentally awakened Lei Luo and made him realize that his past considerations were somewhat inappropriate.
Just because, after acquiring all the ninjutsu in the world, his subsequent goal is to continue to dig deeper into the chakra system by gathering the wisdom of ninjas, and finally reach the standard of levering the earth with one lever.
Therefore...since he wants to take advantage of everyone's wisdom, he cannot always think about "killing the goose to get the eggs" as he did in the past, nor should he use violence to squeeze talents as originally thought.
This will only provoke resistance.
Governance is an art and should not be blindly plundering.
If he wants others to give Lei Luo sincere efforts and contribute his own wisdom, then simply acting recklessly will definitely not work.
All kinds of thoughts passed through his mind. Lei Luo raised his head and looked at Uzumaki Cheng, and said frankly: "You are right, there is indeed something wrong with the way I thought in the past, I have to admit it."
Lei Luo said this sincerely, because before meeting Uzumaki Cheng, no one could speak to him in such a competent way, so he always thought that he was right.
But now... now that the problem has been discovered, with Lei Luo's mind and heart, he will naturally not show any secretive attitude.
What he should do is to decisively admit his mistake and then ask Uzumaki Makoto about the correct path to take.
Seeing that Lei Luo seemed to have realized his problem, Uzumaki Cheng also softened his expression slightly, and the smile reappeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued:
"Sir Lei Luo, your goal is to become Hokage, and after becoming Hokage, your goal is to outlaw the major ninja clans, get their secret techniques into your hands, and at the same time centralize power."
"I think we might as well break these things down and look at them."
As he spoke, Uzumaki Cheng stretched his hands out of his sleeves. He first raised his left hand and gestured to Lei Luo: "If this hand represents all the ninjas in Konoha, and this hand..."
Shaking his right hand, Uzumaki Makoto smiled and said: "It represents you and the civilian ninja force you are about to control."
Slowly moving his hands together, making a gesture of clasping his palms, Uzumaki Cheng raised his head and glanced at Lei Luo. Seeing Lei Luo's brows frowning slightly, he immediately understood what Lei Luo was thinking at the moment, so he smiled slightly and said:
"Sir Lei Luo, do you think I want you to join the ninja clan?"
Lei Luo didn't reply, and Uzumaki Cheng continued to act on his own. He suddenly stretched out the index finger of his left hand from the gap between the fingers of his right hand, and said softly:
"The temporary cooperation is just for better betrayal in the future, using the power of the ninja clan to obtain the position of Hokage. Once people's hearts are determined, the action will begin."
As he spoke, he passed the remaining middle finger, ring finger, and little finger through the fingers of the other hand one after another. Uzumaki Cheng kept talking and continued quickly:
"Fight one faction after another, so that all the ninjas can realize your value, and make them have a sense of competition among themselves, and they are eager to get closer to you, so that they will no longer be united."
"Then, concoct reasons, collect accusations, draw in divisions, tighten the reins little by little, grasp the scale, and continue to take what you want from the ninjas who are not in your own camp."
"When all this is over, the ninjas who are not from our own camp will be almost dismembered. Next, it is time to attack the ninjas from our own camp."
"At that time..." Putting the last thumb between his fingers, Uzumaki Cheng raised his head and smiled at Lei Luo: "My clan will be very willing to do this finishing work."
At the end, Uzumaki Cheng added two more sentences: "This method can be called peaceful evolution, and it is the method with the smallest chance of turmoil."
"It will only take about two or three generations before all the ninjas of the ninja clan will become civilian ninjas, and they will no longer be able to distinguish themselves from each other."
The strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside. To deal with the ninja clan in Konoha, it seems that it is not a bad idea to use this method, but there is one question that Lei Luo is still prepared to ask:
"I am a civilian ninja. What should I do to open the door to cooperation with the ninja clan?"
Hearing this, Uzumaki Makoto spread his hands seemingly helplessly and replied: "You are so strong. As long as you are willing to make a gesture, there must be many ninjas rushing to cooperate with you, right?"
A trace of doubt flashed between Lei Luo's eyebrows and he asked: "Posture?"
Seeing that Lei Luo still didn't seem to understand, Uzumaki Cheng sighed, stretched out his palm, counted his fingers one by one, and said:
"Marriage, accepting a disciple, becoming a master... Oh, I think there is no one in Konoha who is qualified to be your master."
"Anyway, that's what happened."
After listening to the method given by Uzumaki Cheng, Lei Luo smacked his mouth thoughtfully, feeling a little baffled for a moment:
What kind of joke is he asking Lei Luo to marry a female ninja from the ninja clan? By the time he takes action against those ninjas, it is almost certain that the couple will turn against each other.
so……
"It's better to accept a disciple."
I gave such a brief answer and let this matter go for now.
The plan given by Uzumaki Cheng is very feasible, which will maximize his success rate in usurping the throne and minimize the risk of subsequent hidden dangers. Lei Luo decided to adopt it selectively at this moment.
All that's left is the last question.
"Uzumaki Makoto, when do you plan to lead the Uzumaki clan to integrate into Konoha?"
This question was originally the only question Lei Luo wanted to ask after he found Uzumaki Cheng.
But before, because my attention was attracted by each other's plans, I didn't have time to ask, but now I have to ask carefully.
Uzumaki Cheng seemed to have anticipated Lei Luo's question, and answered without thinking:
"When you first become powerful and plan to take action, it will be time for our clan to relocate."
"By that time, not only will the time be ripe in Konoha Village, but also in Uzushio Village."
"I will lead my tribe to cooperate with you inside and outside, and together we will launch a surprise attack on Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, establishing victory in one fell swoop."
"I believe you should have already reached cooperation with some ninjas at that time..."
"In this case, if you directly take charge of Konoha, the voice of opposition will be much smaller, and the possibility of unrest will be almost non-existent."
"With the support of civilian forces and some ninja forces, after you become Hokage, you will be able to secure your position without any further setbacks."
"The rest of the matter will just go as planned."
Since he already had the plan given by Uzumaki Cheng as a reference, Lei Luo quickly understood what the other party meant this time and just nodded lightly without raising any questions.
Everything seemed to have been said. Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the venue was silent for a while, until Lei Luo spoke again a few seconds later:
