Chapter 308: Usurpation
"Is it fair?"
The words he heard in his ears were quite unexpected by Lei Luo, he looked at Vortex Cheng's flushed face, and noticed that the other party's eyes were extremely serious, presumably this request should be from the other party's sincerity.
After a little thought, Lei Luo roughly understood what Vortex Makoto's motive was:
Judging from the other party's previous complaints about the elder group of the Vortex Clan, the Vortex, a ninja group that monopolizes a country with a family as a unit, may have a much more serious internal class solidification than he imagined.
Seniority, seniority, age...... Regardless of the authority in which the person is located, these important factors that determine the promotion of an individual are also real, and this world is not as good as his previous life, and this difference is not only reflected in the ninja's ability to fly to the sky.
More importantly, the difference between ideology and culture.
A powerful ninja may be able to gain a certain status, but if there is no backstage, bloodline, and similar political resources to support it, then there is still no future within the ninja village system, and he is always just a part-time worker.
Konoha may be better than other ninja villages in this regard, but in fact, the good ones are very limited, as can be seen from the long-term occupation of the top level of power such as ape flying and beheading a dry man, and it continues until the beginning of the plot of the later generations.
Even if there is an example of Watergate, let's not talk about whether the top of Watergate has the intention of supporting the shallow-rooted ninja to continue to control the overall situation behind the scenes, let's talk about the period after Watergate's death......
In this process, did Konoha really not appear ninjas who were worthy of the name of Hokage?
You know, Tsunade has always been alive, why didn't Sarutobi consider calling Tsunade back to the village to succeed the Hokage, but instead stood up again to exert his residual heat, and re-held the power of Konoha for so many years?
In Lei Luo's opinion, what is for the sake of the village, what is for peace and stability, at best, it is just a pretext, in the final analysis, it is just that Ape Feiri can't let go of the desire for power in his heart.
Konoha is still like this, not to mention the country of vortex, vortex tide village.
Lei Luo has always been afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, in his eyes, the form of existence of the ninja clan, the right to speak within the clan, is basically all in the hands of the patriarch, elders and other cadres, they are not willing, and they will not let go.
And for the patriarchs and elders, unless you are a ninja in your own faction, even if you have the ability, but you want to be on top and really hold power?
Dream on.
After pondering for a long time, Lei Luo reopened his eyes, he glanced at Xuan Cheng lightly, and saw that the other party was still staring at him intently, as if waiting for him to give an answer.
So, Lei Luo said without hesitation:
"Fairness is relative, and I can't say that everyone is treated equally, but at least, I will not be stingy with my henchmen and capable subordinates who have taken the initiative to take refuge."
"At this point, even if the Vortex Clan is disbanded in the future, as long as all the Vortex Clan people are honest and obedient, it will still not change."
"Makoto Vortex, this is a promise I can give you."
As Lei Luo's last words fell, Vortex Makoto slowly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had collapsed.
For Vortex Cheng, although the interests of the clan are not as good as his own interests, since he was born as a member of the Vortex Clan, it is also appropriate for Lei Luo to put forward conditions for the future development of the Vortex Clan.
As for whether the dissolution of the Vortex Clan will have some adverse effect on him? Makoto Vortex is not worried at all:
It's all because Lei Luo is going to implement that set of policies, and in the final analysis, he just doesn't let the Vortex Clan gather together, in order to prevent that that possibly happening—the pattern of a country within a country.
The other party didn't want to cut down the roots of their vortex clan, nor did they not allow them to communicate with each other, but they didn't live together, and they just wanted to intermarry with foreign clans, which was not unacceptable to the vortex.
Anyway, as long as he succeeds in usurping the throne this time and sits as the Vortex Patriarch for a while, then in the future, no matter where the Vortex Clan is, and whether they still act in the name of "One Clan", as long as they still exist......
Then, his power will not be affected in the slightest.
After all, since the superior can become a political resource for subordinates.
Then subordinates, even if they are former subordinates, can also become the political resources of the superiors, as long as he is capable of Vortex Cheng, it is not difficult for many Vortex people to remember him as the "former" patriarch.
With the current number of Vortex Clansmen, even if he directly integrates into the village like the original Thousand Hands after joining Konoha at the beginning, but without a few generations, his Vortex Makoto's influence will not dissipate.
Of course, there is also a precondition for this, that is, Lei Luo will not suppress these scattered vortex people, and deliberately make a target to reduce the power that the huge vortex clan can bring to occupy a place within the village.
Therefore, whether it is high-sounding or for the sake of its own interests, Vortex Cheng must ensure the minimum "fairness".
As for whether Lei Luo will regret it, it depends on his Vortex Cheng's follow-up methods.
"That's enough." Responding very clearly to Lei Luo's promise, Vortex Cheng did not hesitate to do so, and decisively began to state his plan:
"Including the current Vortex Patriarch, there are a total of thirteen elders, and these power classes are the ones I intend to eradicate."
"My idea is to use this war between my clan and the fog to find a way to make these old guys evaporate from the world, and then push the pot to the fog ninjas."
"At that time, Your Excellency Lei Luo, you just need to stand up in time and declare that you support me as the Vortex Patriarch."
"I believe that with your reputation in my clan at this time, my chances of success will be greatly increased."
Vortex talked honestly, and when he talked about excitement, he looked like he was dancing with his eyebrows, obviously thinking about it for a long time.
Lei Luo silently listened to the other party's plan, and when he saw that Vortex Cheng finished speaking for the time being, he asked a question: "How much strength do you have now?" ”
Hearing this, Vortex replied without thinking: "There are about 300 people, and I can command them at present." ”
"As long as the elders die, they will inevitably become my confidants, and they will only obey my command."
"More than three hundred? It's enough to maintain order afterwards......" After a moment's silence, Lei Luo then asked the next question:
"Don't you have any other competitors besides the Elders?"
Vortex Makoto thought about it, but this time his answer was a little less certain:
"I'm the commander-in-chief of the Western Wall, and besides me, there are three other candidates who are qualified to compete for the patriarch."
Hearing this, Lei Luo asked curiously, "Do you also plan to let these people evaporate from the world?" ”
"That shouldn't be ......" Vortex Makoto smiled slightly, "After all, they have a good relationship with me, and I will talk to them beforehand." ”
"Of course......" Noticing that Lei Luo's expression was a little noncommittal, Vortex Makoto paused, and said in a tone that I understood, "I will neither reveal your future plans, nor will I do anything to be a woman's kindness. ”
"I am the only one who can become the Vortex Patriarch, and I am the only one who can cooperate with you and help you achieve your goals in the future."
"On this alone, I won't back down."
Speaking of this, Vortex Cheng's tone was extremely serious, and there was a slight trace of hideousness in his expression:
"Whoever gets in my way, I'll kill him."
