Chapter 222 How to Save Uchiha?
To be honest, it would be too easy for the third generation and the advisory group to resolve this Uchiha problem peacefully.
And no matter what, the Uchiha clan is the founder of Konoha. What's wrong with being the CEO now? Is this too much to ask for?
If you want to say that Uchiha always has a mental illness and is not suitable to be Hokage, this is not a good reason.
Uchiha Itachi is generally quite normal. He needs strength and strength, and IQ and IQ. Isn't he worthy of becoming Hokage?
After all, people have selfish motives, and it has become an unspoken rule that the Hokage lineage has been passed down from generation to generation.
To put it at the extreme, if you are a disciple of Orochimaru, you may run for Hokage, but if you are not related to Hokage, I'm sorry, step aside.
Let's look at Uchiha again. Uchiha himself has problems, so why can't he think about living in Konoha?
Uchiha has been a world-famous clan since the Warring States Period. Today, when the Senju clan has withered, it has never been that Uchiha cannot live without Konoha, but that Konoha cannot live without Uchiha.
Just look at what strength Konoha was in the original book before the Uchiha clan was exterminated? When the Great Ninja World War breaks out, one family will fight against several others without any false pretense.
After the Uchiha is gone, even the Oto Ninja Village that Orochimaru randomly created will dare to join forces with the Sunagakure Village to make a plan to destroy Konoha.
Is Sunagakure mentally retarded? The wave of combat power they sent Gaara really thought they could destroy Konoha!
In fact, it did bring considerable losses to Konoha.
This kind of situation would never happen when all members of the Uchiha clan are still alive. Don't other ninja villages also think that Konoha is weak and easy to bully?
The Uchiha clan has never figured out their position and where their bargaining chips lie.
And even in terms of the worst strategic rebellion, they did it too badly. They held meetings every day and kept secrets very poorly, so they could barely show their rebellion on their faces.
And they really just... only had meetings, and they were all entangled and procrastinating. If they really fought, they wouldn't die so aggrievedly.
"Senior, let me see, what should the Uchiha clan do if they want to survive now?"
Itachi asked for advice. His mind was in chaos anyway. If he hadn't met Lu Li today, he would have been ready to go back and massacre the entire clan.
"Three strategies: upper, middle and lower. It depends on what you choose."
Lu Li said that there were too many ways to solve the Uchiha clan's problems, oh, mainly because he had seen too many in the comment section of space.
"There are three more strategies?"
Itachi was a little surprised. It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, but that he had racked his brains these past few days and couldn't figure out how to break the situation. He felt that he was in a desperate situation and was about to start killing people.
After being surprised, he looked at Lu Li sincerely and said, "Senior, please give me some advice first."
Since he wanted to ask for advice, of course he wanted to hear the best solution.
"It's said that there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower. In fact, they don't conflict much. I just said it casually. Just listen and take a look."
Lu Li smiled and said, "The best thing to do is for you Uchiha to give up the idea of running for Hokage first. What's the point of being in a bad position? To put it bluntly, the bottom-level demands of becoming Hokage are for money and power. You may not be able to get these. Only Naruto."
Itachi's mind moved after hearing Lu Li's words. He suddenly felt that what his senior said was reasonable. Why are the clansmen so angry now? Is it just because they have never had a Hokage?
It doesn't seem to be the case. If the Uchiha clan was treated like the Hyuga clan, the most powerful family in Konoha, they wouldn't be so angry.
The main reason is that he got a bad security guard job, was ostracized in various ways in the village, and was looked down upon by others. He wanted power but no power, and wanted money but no money. This made the arrogant Uchiha unbearable.
"But the higher-ups in Konoha don't delegate power, and we can't be Hokage. Where do we get the power and money from?"
Itachi asked in confusion, if the family had power and money, of course they wouldn't think of rebellion.
"Itachi, you have to know that real power is never given by others, but taken by yourself."
Lu Li said meaningfully. He knew well that Itachi was not someone who was easy to fool. If the other party hadn't been really desperate now, he wouldn't have listened to this rebellious ninja.
But the reason why he was able to trigger this hidden mission was because Itachi had indeed reached a major decision point in his life and was extremely painful and entangled in his heart, so he was allowed to seize the opportunity to intervene.
Lu Li himself was only moderately interested in saving Uchiha, but of course he would do it if it was beneficial. Moreover, it would also allow his favorite characters in the original work to survive, thereby disrupting the entire world and gaining a huge amount of exploration points. This made him very Got motivated.
"Get it yourself? Senior, do you have any ideas?"
When Itachi asked this question, he actually didn't have any particular hope in his heart, because he felt that the natural disaster senior himself had fallen into the fate of being framed and defected to Konoha, and he might not be much smarter than him.
"How? You must first understand your own value, Itachi."
Lu Li looked at Itachi's pair of Sharingan eyes, "Your family's blood lineage is the best in the entire ninja world. Going back to the Warring States Period, almost only the Senju clan can be on par with you. How can you get there now?" How about being a security guard and being looked down upon by others?”
Itachi fell into deep thought after hearing this. Lu Li said this straightforwardly, which made him seem to understand the thinking of his father and other hawks.
Indeed, how could they, the Uchiha, be so awesome just working as security guards in Konoha?
"Isn't it easy to want wealth and power? You want to open up the situation."
Lu Li said with a smile.
"The pattern... is open?"
Itachi repeated these four words, a little confused.
"It's easy to stabilize your position in Konoha. Don't your families marry? Why do you want to ensure that all the blood of the Uchiha clan is within the family? The Sharingan is very powerful, but not all Uchiha clan members can do it. Open your eyes, right? Without your guidance, the level of Uchiha born outside would probably be the same."
Lu Li said with a smile, "But would other families think so? They wouldn't, right? Because your family's Sharingan is famous all over the world."
Itachi seemed to understand what Lu Li meant when he heard this, "Senior, what do you want to say... let us use our bloodline as a bargaining chip to marry into major families and gain political status?"
Lu Li nodded, thinking that it was indeed a smart Itachi who knew everything right, "Yes, you know very well whether the common Sharingan is strong or not Itachi. I don't know what kind of pupil technique you have, but I guess you One person can kill most of the Uchiha, right? So even if the bloodline leaks out, it won't be a threat to your family."
He looked at Itachi who was deep in thought and continued: "And other families want your Sharingan so much. They don't know how weak the general Sharingan is, and they only want to introduce new blood inheritance limits to strengthen the family. Once you By marrying into the major wealthy families in Konoha, his political status will rise immediately. At least Konoha will never dare to say that he wants to destroy the ambitious Uchiha, after all, it will affect the whole body. "
Itachi thought thoughtfully and said: "If Konoha takes action against the Uchiha family, it will cause overall turmoil in Konoha, so we are temporarily safe?"
He suddenly discovered that the strategy mentioned by his senior was really very feasible. It would not only protect the safety of the Uchiha clan, but also gain a stronger political status.
Since ancient times, marriage has been a strong political bond, and the blood of the Uchiha clan itself is the interest. The bond between blood and interest cannot be more stable than this alliance.
Once the Uchiha clan marries with other clans, even if they truly integrate into the high-level circles of Konoha, they will no longer be so hostile, and it will not be difficult to have fair and impartial voting rights.
"Safe for now? The situation is small. Don't you want wealth and power?"
Seeing that Itachi had relaxed and lost his fighting posture, Lu Li casually found a broken tree stump on the ground and sat down, "Marriage with major clans is only one of the options, but in my opinion, your structure can be improved. Open some up.”
"Open it again?"
Itachi's face was full of confusion. Lu Li's proposal just now broke through the thought pattern of the Uchiha family for thousands of years. He was surprised to find that they had never thought of marrying with a foreign race before. This was simply too strange.
You must know that although the blood family attaches great importance to not leaking their own blood, it is normal for powerful families to marry. Just like when the first Hokage married the wife of the Uzumaki clan, it was because the Uzumaki clan was very strong and famous for its sealing skills.
In Konoha, marriages between wealthy families are also very common, but Uchiha has not participated in them before, which makes him seem very unsociable.
Now that I think about it, it's true that the major families are marrying each other, and their bloodlines and interests are tied together. After years of development in Konoha, the high-level circles have been finalized, but the Uchiha family does not marry. This is like showing their attitude not to play with other families.
With this policy and strategy, can their family not be squeezed out?
But when he heard Lu Li say that the situation could be opened up even more, he couldn't think of another way to do this kind of operation. In his opinion, marriage was already a brilliant move.
If he could convince his father after returning, the bloody disaster of the Uchiha clan would be resolved.
"I just said that your blood inheritance is famous all over the world, and the people who want it are not limited to Konoha."
Lu Li said, "Females in your family can also marry outside their families. Or even to go too far, men in your family can go out and sell seeds openly. I believe that the surrounding small countries and even the families in the five major countries will be moved."
After hearing this, Itachi was stunned for a moment, then frowned a little, "Isn't this bad?"
He still loves Konoha, and feels that if the Uchiha family's blood flows abroad, it will become an enemy, and Konoha will definitely not be happy to see this happen.
After thinking about it, he added: "And not to mention the small countries, how could the shadows of those big countries sit back and watch this happen? Aren't they afraid that the wealthy families in the village will get too close to the Uchiha clan? Or marry into the past? Women become spies.”
Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "That's impossible. Just look at Konoha and you'll know that the Hokage doesn't have the final say in everything. To put it bluntly, the Hokage is just a manager pushed by Konoha's interest groups. Unless he can do it alone Suppress the entire Konoha, otherwise he will still have to consider the opinions of interest groups. Itachi, do you think those big families will resist the temptation and not accept your seeds?"
Itachi was silent. He was a man with a bright mind and quickly figured out the key.
Yes, this is a conspiracy. The problem only exists with the attitude of Konoha, and it is impossible for other countries to contain the Uchiha family from spreading seeds, because the interest groups under the management of the shadow want them all!
"But...if we really do this, Konoha will be very angry, right? Maybe we will start the Uchiha genocide plan directly."
Itachi said doubtfully. He didn't think it was dirty for his clan members to sell seeds. He could only say that he had seen too many dirty things. It was nothing in the eyes of ninjas when men in the clan went out to sell some seeds or something.
Anyway, as far as he knew, some of the eldest brothers in their clan often went to custom shops. If they could still get money by selling seeds, they would probably be happy.
He just felt that Senior Lu Li's so-called open pattern was a bit too radical and risky.
"So you have to stabilize your position in Konoha first, so that the Hokage can't move you..."
Here, Lu Li paused, making Itachi a little anxious.
