Chapter 412: It's Time to Act
Regarding Uchiha Fugaku's euphemistic proposal to refuse to leave the academy, Uchiha Itachi really took it to heart.
In his opinion, this is a test, a test of his learning for a while.
And Uchiha Itachi has also thought about it, and he hopes to use the answer he thought of to confirm with Uchiha Kai.
However, what he didn't expect was that while he was still pondering what the answer was, Uchiha Keiya came to his home to visit his father.
What Uchiha Itachi didn't expect was that his father seemed to think that he had given him a night to think, but when he didn't get an answer, he thought there was no way to get the promise he wanted.
So he called himself over and told Uchiha Kai about it in front of him.
This made Uchiha Itachi extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to say anything.
He felt that he had no reason to blame his father, because when the Uchiha Kai heard this, he immediately gave his own answer.
Truth be told, Uchiha Kei did come as a bit of a surprise.
Especially when he heard the reason why Uchiha Itachi planned to graduate early, it made him feel even more amused.
He really didn't expect Uchiha Itachi to be affected by himself, but he didn't think it was a good thing to graduate early.
For example, Uchiha Kai himself, he was actually completely unwilling to graduate early.
But at that time, he did not have any people to protect him, and he was forced to 'graduate' and go to the battlefield.
Shaking his head helplessly, Uchiha Kai looked at Uchiha Fuyue with some strange eyes: "Fuyue-kun, haven't you been trying to improve his vision all these years?" How to ....."
"He's only seven years old this year, and this kind of education is continuous." Uchiha Fugaku also said a little helplessly: "I don't think you can understand so many things at his age. β
Uchiha Kei tilted his head and looked at Itachi Uchiha: "So, you want me to help him answer this question?" β
"Yes." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and then said with a somewhat serious expression.
"After all, you are his teacher, and although he has never been recognized by you, I think he should be able to get your approval in the future. After all, I expect a lot from him. β
Uchiha Kai glanced at Uchiha Fugaku silently, he was really a little surprised that Uchiha Fugaku actually brought up the topic of 'teacher' again.
Uchiha Fugaku had brought it up once before, but after he exposed the kaleidoscope writing wheel, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kei tacitly agreed not to talk about this topic again.
Obviously, Uchiha Kei has some slight prejudice against Uchiha Itachi's heart, and at the same time, it is also a little unnatural.
And Uchiha Fugaku is worried, but if his child is sent to him, will it become a tool against himself.
For example, will the Uchiha Kei brainwash his children with illusions?
As soon as something happens to them, this child will be the best tool to deal with themselves.
Uchiha Kai's once dark heart gave Uchiha Fugaku a great shock.
Although he is a little better now, maybe he doesn't see himself as an enemy anymore.
However, that cold feeling remained in Uchiha Fugaku's mind from beginning to end.
So, now that Uchiha Fugaku has once again brought up the topic of teachers, it is worth thinking about.
And the conditions given by Uchiha Fugaku seem to be very high.
Through his words, Uchiha Kei can feel that he probably wants to train Uchiha Itachi to be the successor of the next generation.
That is, the future patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
This bargaining chip is very heavy, and it can be said that with such an identity, the status of Uchiha Kei and Uchiha Fugaku in the Uchiha clan may become more stable and more equal.
But what was the reason for Uchiha Fugaku to make this decision?
Uchiha Kai is a little strange, but strange is strange, this question he can answer.
As for whether to make Uchiha Itachi his disciple, he hadn't thought about it carefully.
What's more, he'd always felt that instead of making himself Uchiha Itachi's teacher, it would be better for Kakashi to do it.
As for the status in the Uchiha clan?
If you are not the teacher of the future patriarch, you can't have a strong and strong position?
"I understand, but it's really not a simple thing to get my approval, there are very few people who have been recognized by me so far, Fu Yuejun, you should also know something."
Uchiha Kei thought of this, and he said flatly.
"I understand what Qijun means, I think Itachi will do a good job." Uchiha Fugaku was a little puzzled by Uchiha Kai's ambiguous words, but he nodded in agreement.
"In that case, then I'll tell you the answer you want."
Kei Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha this time, and then he spoke under Itachi's slightly nervous expression.
"It's true that after graduation you get to the tasks earlier, but those tasks are basic.
It's all about training you as a ninja and integrating what you've learned in school.
At the same time, it is also the process of your mentoring ninja to determine whether you have a future and whether you are worthy of further training.
Do you feel that it is necessary for you to participate in this process? β
"I...."Uchiha Itachi hesitated a little when he heard this, but he said confidently.
"My father has already taught me these things, and although he has taught me more of them now, I have learned these things a long time ago."
After all, Uchiha Itachi is the eldest son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, even if the things that Uchiha Fugaku has taught him over the years are more inclined to something that expands his thinking structure and horizons.
But Uchiha Itachi is also a person who followed him to the battlefield when he was three or four years old, and once stabbed a seriously injured Iwa Shinobi at an extremely young age.
This imp has seen blood, and his foundation cannot be weak.
And Uchiha Kei won't believe it either, he doesn't have a teacher who is in charge of guiding him in basic training.
Or, this little imp is still secretly training with Uchiha Shisui or something.
"In that case, do you think there's anything you can do after you graduate?"
The Uchiha lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and his voice was very rhythmic.
"Now is not my time, you don't have the opportunity to go to the battlefield after graduation, but you have to go through a long period of assessment and judgment.
In addition, you are too young to be given advanced tasks by the mission department, because you are still a seedling of the village, and you are the object to be cultivated rather than sent to death. β
"I.... I can protect myself...."Itachi Uchiha said this, his voice already low, "But what can I do if I stay in school?" β
"Hey, I really doubt now that what Fu Yuejun taught you, did you study it seriously, although I don't know what he taught you."
Uchiha Kai glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, and finally said lightly: "Let me ask you a question, do you know what influential families are in Konoha?" β
"A lot, such as...."Uchiha Itachi heard this question and said directly: "Hinata, Uchiha, Yaru, Inuzuka, and Pig Deer Butterfly, and...."
Itachi Uchiha didn't care at first, because the problem couldn't have been easier for him.
But Uchiha Itachi felt that he should ask such a simple question as a teacher, and he definitely had his own purpose.
So he started while reciting his last name, only as he recalled his classmates.
As he spoke, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Because he found that the people in his class actually included all the members of the big family of Konoha!
Itachi Uchiha has an amazing memory, and although he always uses shadow clones to cope with school lessons, he knows what the names of the people in the class are.
As he kept saying the names of these people, he finally understood what his purpose as a teacher was.
There are not only big families in his class, but also many small families, as well as families that were once brilliant but are now a little lonely.
Almost everyone in this class is not simple, even some students born in commoners, their knowledge level and strength level are not low!
"Noticed?"
Uchiha Kai saw Uchiha Itachi's stunned look, and finally couldn't help but shake his head.
"I don't pay attention to you, but I also know something, and as I thought, your class is almost a small Konoha inner circle. Or rather, someone who may play an important role in Konoha in the future. β
"Well, some of the information I've gotten is that you seem to be proud to think you're of no use there."
Uchiha Kai changed to a comfortable sitting position, and then continued to speak: "Exercising with Uchiha Shisui ? That's right, it's really important, and the strength is indeed an important ability for ninjas to base themselves in this world. But are you poor? Are you short on time? β
"Teacher Qi... I...."Itachi Uchiha lowered his head, he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"Don't call me teacher, I said I didn't admit you, and I said the same in front of your father." Uchiha Kei secretly glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and found that this guy was continuing to drink tea, so he continued.
"At your age, although it is an age of growth, you must know that your mission is not just to improve your strength. Do you think any of the people in your class are weak? β
"They.... They should all be amazing. Uchiha Itachi whispered, still with his head down.
"So did they skip class like you?" Uchiha Kei continued to ask with a cold face.
"No...."
"So what qualifications do you have to do that? A perfect place where you can increase your bond with each other, a place where you can cultivate mutual understanding and prepare for the future all year round, and you coped with things like this? β
"I...."
.......
In Kei Uchiha's opinion, Itachi Uchiha really never seemed to have been, and he took his classmates too seriously.
Maybe in his eyes, there is only what 'what is the meaning of life', and the training with the Uchiha Shisui.
According to Kei Uchiha's memory, this kid used a shadow clone to skip class at a very young age.
For his classmates, he almost always maintains this relatively arrogant attitude.
Of course, if this is not the case, Uchiha Kei is not sure.
But at least that's what he's seen in anime and manga.
But his ideas were so naΓ―ve that he had almost no ties to his contemporaries.
At this point, he can't even compare to Kei Uchiha.
Although Uchiha Kai is extremely dark in his heart, his relationship with his classmates in the same period is not too bad.
It's even pretty good, no matter what the end result.
Itachi Uchiha hardly got along with his classmates, and I'm afraid the only contact he had was with each other.
Other than that, there is no more, and of course the relationship is not necessarily good.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stoned because of the matter of the security department.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Itachi as if he understood these things, and he nodded with satisfaction.
It's not that he didn't try to teach Uchiha Itachi these things, but the problem is that there are some things that he teaches relatively vaguely.
In addition, Uchiha Itachi himself was not very interested, so this kid did not understand the meaning, and Uchiha Fugaku was also helpless.
But now, with Uchiha Fugaku not giving him any time, he also didn't give Uchiha Kai any time to react.
But Uchiha Kei was able to know the stakes of these things in an instant.
Then these things were punctured in front of him, and you can imagine how much impact such a huge gap would have on Uchiha Itachi.
Through this incident, he told Uchiha Itachi how immature he is now.
At the same time, he also told him what he should do in school, what to do, and what kind of mentality he should use to do it.
Uchiha Kei picked up a cup of tea and took a sip of it, but he glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with some meaning.
Obviously, this guy is using himself as a tool.
Not only did he say some things that were difficult to say as a father, but he also fulfilled his obligations as a teacher.
But when I thought about it, I thought about it, and Uchiha Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
What he used Uchiha Fugaku to do for himself was much less than what he allowed himself to do.
"Everything that needs to be said has been said, and what to do is your own problem."
Kei Uchiha put the teacup down, and then locked his eyes on Uchiha Fugaku.
"Fu Yuejun, although your combat ability is a little sparse, your understanding and application of 'technique' has reached a point where ordinary people can't reach it, but I think you still need to continue to prepare."
"Keep preparing?" Uchiha Fugaku froze for a moment, and then his face became serious: "Kei-kun means, is that inevitable thing going to happen?" β
Uchiha Fugaku obviously knew the information about Yunyin Village, which Uchiha Kaikai would tell him, and Bo Feng Mizumon would also inform him.
After all, as the patriarch of one of the Konoha Hao clans, and a collaborator of Bo Feng Shuimen, he is also one of the insiders.
Hearing Uchiha Kai speak like this, he didn't know what the situation was.
This wasn't really good news, especially when he noticed the Uchiha Itachi's puzzled eyes, and he felt a little headache.
"It seems that this ninja world is not very peaceful." Uchiha Fugaku sighed, "Do you have any plans over there?" β
"Captain Watergate, in fact, I helped him out at that meeting, and he didn't change his mind."
Uchiha Kei said flatly: "But this time the conflict will be controlled within a reasonable range, although I don't know how long it will last, but I think it should be infinitely extended by us." β
"For a long time?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned, and suddenly he realized something: "Could it be, is it time?" β
"Yes, it's a good opportunity." Uchiha Kai nodded: "We've been planning for more than a year, almost two years, and now is the time. β
Uchiha Kei's words made Uchiha Fugaku fall into thought, but soon his face became serious.
Indeed, so long.
At the beginning, Bo Feng Shui Men had just taken the position, and the power in his hands was almost empty.
At that time, they had already begun to think about how to help Bo Feng Shui Men think about how to get back their rights and how to break the current system of Konoha.
Uchiha Kai's ghost-like thinking ability, he found the essence of Konoha in the hands of the third generation, and at the same time thought of how to break the iron curtain like that.
His plan is slowly being realized, and the reform of the middle and lower ninja is already underway and is getting better and better.
Then the only trouble now is the reform of the upper ninja.
If the resource tilt obtained by the lower ninja is only one, then the resource tilt obtained by the upper ninja is ten!
And now those middle ninjas and lower ninjas, even including those who have been deprived of the title of special upper ninja.
They were all very satisfied with such a pour of resources, and they could imagine what kind of terrifying resources Shangnin would get.
This resource is not only about money and ninjutsu, of course, these are also enough things to indulge in, and more importantly, the right to speak.
When you become a ninja, you have enough right to speak.
Even if it's still not as good as a minister-level figure, it's almost on an equal footing with some family patriarch-level people!
It can be said that this is the ascension that changes fate!
Of course, this is also an extremely dangerous reform, so to make such a reform, you really need something to attract attention.
Uchiha Fugaku is now clear, the meaning of the phrase 'control the conflict within a reasonable range' in Uchiha's mouth.
He used the word 'conflict', not 'war'.
Obviously, he didn't intend to completely expand this matter to affect the situation inside Konoha.
But if we want to turn 'war' into a 'conflict within reason', we need strong people to handle all this.
And the purpose of Uchiha Kai finding him is also obvious, that is, he hopes that he can be ready to make a move when needed.
And his shot can't be too ruthless, if things are done too ruthlessly, there will only be two results, the first is to beat the other party scared.
Then the other party admits that he will withdraw directly and stop playing with you, then this will not be able to achieve the 'long-term' purpose requested by Uchiha Kai at all.
The second result is the intensification of hatred, of course, hatred is not fart, the greatest possibility is to seek greater interests.
Yun Shinobi was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and they misjudged that Konoha's ceiling was Uchiha Fugaku.
Thus the outbreak of a larger and wider war, which can be completely contrary to their ideas.
Of course, it's not good to shoot too lightly, which will make Yun Ren think that you Konoha are at this level, and they can want unscrupulously.
Uchiha Fugaku knew how troublesome this task was, but he knew that he was probably the only one to do now.
Bo Feng Shuimen is the Hokage, and in order to show Konoha's current strength, it is best if he doesn't make a move.
And this kid Uchiha Kai has caused a lot of trouble in the fog, and he can't make a move now.
Of course, it doesn't have to be completely impossible to shoot, it requires some manipulation.
Uchiha Fugaku really has some expectations in his heart now, and although the task is very troublesome, he doesn't shirk it in the slightest.
In addition to the desire to fight that was stirred up by the Uchiha Kai, he was also looking forward to this reform.
Uchiha Fugaku has made a lot of preparations for this reform.
He is sure that the family with the most upper ninja after this reform will inevitably be him Uchiha!
This can be regarded as a reasonable use of the rules, and although Uchiha Fugaku is very satisfied with the current environment of Konoha, he also hopes to go further.
This step is not bound within the family, but a dream, or ambition, to transcend the shackles of the family and realize one's own value.
He hopes to become the class leader of the upper ninja class, and the class leader of the upper ninja class who represents the interests of all the upper ninjas.
And no more, a patriarch who represents the interests of the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha is Uchiha Kai to the outside, not him Uchiha Fugaku.
He Uchiha Fugaku is in the clan, so he naturally needs to maintain and manage the Uchiha, but it is not his responsibility outside!
It was a leap beyond imagination, and he hadn't told Uchiha about it either.
He wants to realize his personal value, and he can be regarded as accomplishing one thing from another angle.
That is, as a typical representative, break through the family cage and break the inherent political identity.
Become a 'Konoha Ninja' instead of Konoha's 'Uchiha Ninja'.
If Uchiha Kei knew what he was thinking, then he would probably only give an evaluation.
That's the 'convert's fanaticism,' and there's not much else to say about it.
"I see, Kaijun." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, his expression extremely serious: "Leave this matter to me, I will prepare well." β
"That'll do." Uchiha Kai nodded, and then stood up: "Also, if you have the time and opportunity, I also hope that Fuyue-kun can reveal some of Susanoo's abilities to outsiders without a trace, especially the concept of 'the color may be the same'." β
"Oh?" Uchiha Fugaku's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is Kai-kun going to do something in this 'conflict'?" β
"It can only be regarded as a guarantee measure." Uchiha Kai glanced at the Uchiha Itachi who looked confused on the side, and then smiled slightly: "Of course, it may not be me who made the move, and maybe it is." β
.....
Just when Uchiha Kei and Uchiha Fugaku were discussing something interesting.
Azby was also alone, and quietly came to the outside of Konoha Village.
He didn't bring anyone with him, because this time the mission was only for him.
Although he is not an expert negotiator, he is not a ninja who is good at government affairs.
But he has his own strengths, and that is that he is a qualified combat ninja.
He has only one goal this time, and that is to meet the three generations of Hokage.
"Although I was thinking about showing kindness to the three generations of Hokage, it was better to think about it from reality than to be so cringe-intimidating.
I've heard what the original terms of the armistice treaty between him and Tsuchikage were, if that'....."
Taking a deep breath, Atsby quickly completed a seal.
This seal was given to him by Thunder Shadow before he set off, although his camp did not deal with Thunder Shadow, but he didn't feel that Thunder Shadow needed to deceive him for this kind of thing.
Quietly waiting, Azby even had time to check everything around Konoha.
However, before he could go deeper, several black-clad ninjas had quietly appeared beside him....
