The peace faction, the neutral faction, the war faction...
Although few people in the Uchiha clan are willing to directly admit which faction they belong to, most people are also ignorant of the factional disputes.
However, from the words spoken in daily life and the choices made at critical moments, we can still roughly analyze the person's political tendency, and then judge the force and position he belongs to.
Fugaku, as the original young Uchiha clan leader and the current Uchiha clan leader, has been influenced by his father, Uchiha Hayato, since he was a child, so he is well versed in the way of ruling.
Not only has he been committed to maintaining the balance among the various Uchiha factions for a long time, but at certain times, he will selectively support the corresponding factions due to the decisions of Konoha's high-level officials, in order to take the initiative in negotiating with the village and provide support for the Uchiha.
The Bo clan seeks more political interests.
Whether it is the peace faction or the war faction, they are essentially just tools to guide public opinion and a medium to control the emotions and behavior of the tribe. Which faction prevails will mean that the Uchiha clan's external attitude will generally appear.
Which style of behavior.
Being treated unfairly by the village, and when dealing with certain incidents that are obviously targeting Uchiha, Fugaku will choose to support the warring faction to intimidate the higher-ups. When there is no major conflict between the village and Uchiha, the warring faction will show signs of it again.
.
From the first generation period to the current fourth generation period, the methods of each generation of Uchiha clan leaders are similar, and they basically follow the same set of tricks over and over again. Even Fugaku is no exception to this.
It is precisely because we understand the essence of factional fighting and understand what its connotation actually means.
Therefore, no matter how the peace faction and the war faction continue to fight, even if someone breaks the rules, the Uchiha clan leaders will not be cruel to any faction, but will try their best to maintain the delicate balance within the Uchiha clan.
.
Whether to live in harmony with the village or to appropriately show off the edge of the Uchiha, it all depends on the clan leader's thoughts. In short, it is to adjust the foreign policy according to the needs. The fundamental purpose is to ensure the interests of the Uchiha.
Therefore, just like the two sides of yin and yang, main peace or main battle, both have their own significance, and no matter which faction of the Uchiha clan is indispensable.
But now, the situation has changed.
Fugaku accompanied Uchiha Yu and summoned most of the core members of the main war faction, which is now named the "reactionary faction". In name, they held a clan meeting, but in fact they carried out a bloody massacre...
This kind of behavior undoubtedly broke the political balance within the Uchiha clan, and the disappearance of the main war faction also made Uchiha Yu feel doubtful:
Because he obviously couldn't understand why Fugaku could trust the Hokage so much, as if he was sure that the Hokage would not have any ill intentions towards the Uchiha clan, and then took the initiative to eliminate the Uchiha clan's capital for resistance.
In essence, this is equivalent to cutting off an arm.
"Isn't the sincerity of the root leader enough?"
Faced with Yu Uchiha's question, Fugaku thought for a moment, and then asked back. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if this was his answer and the only reason for what he did today.
Silently and Fugaku looked at each other for a moment, Uchiha Yu slowly shook his head and sighed: "It's natural enough, but in the final analysis, the root leader is just a job, a time-limited position. What guarantee do you have, clan leader..."
"
"Can the root leader always be a member of our Uchiha clan?"
"Even if we take a step back, since the Hokage can hand over this position to you, there is naturally the possibility of taking it back..."
"How can you guarantee that you will be able to hold the position of leader of the Roots for a long time?"
Uchiha Yu's words could be said to go straight to the core of the problem, making Fugaku couldn't help but shift his gaze and look at the corpses of his compatriots lying on the floor, falling into a long silence.
A few minutes passed, and he could feel the eyes on the other side looking at him more and more sharply. Fugaku knew that he could no longer hide it, and it was time to openly reveal the truth.
The power of the Great Elder's lineage should not be underestimated. If his actions today were not backed up by the other party, it would definitely cause an uproar within the clan, and by then he would most likely be the leader of the clan.
After all, in this cooperation with the Great Elder, he had not stated in advance that he would kill all the core figures of the main war faction. Strictly speaking, the previous massacre should be regarded as his emergency response operation by Uchiha Fugaku, and it was an unplanned variable.
, he resorted to unscrupulous means in desperation.
The original agreement was just to expel all the core members of the main war faction from the Uchiha clan, but it did not say that they would be killed. Fugaku... was really a little anxious this time.
I have to say that it was indeed a bit reckless to rashly use force against members of the militant faction, but Fugaku was really unwilling to let a bunch of rat shit from the militant faction mess up the matter just when he was about to take office.
Although, the Great Elder’s considerations are all correct.
But for your own interests and the future of the Uchiha clan, you have to take action when it's time to take action. Otherwise, when some bad news reaches Nonoyu's ears, and then Lei Luo's ears, you will be completely trapped.
Passive.
It should be noted that even if all the members of the main war faction are expelled from the Uchiha clan, if they refuse to accept it or even take certain actions, Lei Luo will inevitably blame Fugaku for this bad debt.
Of course, facing the questioning gaze of the great elder at this time, Fugaku knew that he could not tell the truth, and could not say that his behavior was simply affected by his desires, so he decisively threw out another chip, and no matter what happened in the future,
One thing that cannot be avoided:
"The fourth generation once told me personally that he intends to break up all existing ninja clans and allow all ninja clan members to be completely integrated into the village like the Senju clan."
Looking at Uchiha Yu's thoughtful old face, Fugaku paused and then continued:
"I have carefully thought about it. With the fourth generation as a person, the things he determined will eventually be strictly implemented. No one has the ability to stand in front of him, and no one is qualified to raise any objections."
"Great Elder, I believe you have heard of Yondaime's policies over the years. There is no doubt that Yondaime is vigorously strengthening the civilian ninja forces in the village and is not friendly to all ninja clans."
"what does that mean?"
Before Uchiha Yu could answer, Fugaku's eyes suddenly became extremely serious, and he said word by word: "This means that the fourth generation has never given up on the plan to dismember the ninja clan."
"The increase in the power of civilians, to a certain extent, is the weakening of the power of our ninja clan. One day, all ninja clans will cease to exist. This is my judgment."
