Chapter 624: Intra-clan Politics
The main peace faction, the neutral faction, the main battle faction......
Although few people in the Uchiha clan are willing to directly admit which faction they belong to, most people are also ignorant of factional disputes.
However, from the words of ordinary life and the choice of critical moments, we can still roughly analyze the political tendencies of the person, and then judge the forces and positions to which they belong.
As the original Uchiha young patriarch and the current Uchiha patriarch, Fugaku is well versed in the way of ruling because he was influenced by his father Uchiha Hayato since he was a child.
Not only has he been committed to maintaining the balance between the various Uchiha factions for a long time, but in some cases, he will selectively support the corresponding factions due to the decisions of the Konoha leadership, in order to take the initiative in negotiating with the village and seek more political benefits for the Uchiha clan.
Whether it is the main peace faction or the main battle faction, in essence, it is just a tool to guide public opinion, and it is a medium to manipulate the emotions and behaviors of the clansmen.
Treated unfairly by the village, Fugaku will choose to support the main battle faction to intimidate the upper echelons when dealing with certain incidents that are clearly directed against the Uchiha, and when the village and the Uchiha are not in much conflict, the main peace faction will show signs of it.
From the first generation to the current four generations, the methods of the Uchiha patriarchs of each generation are similar, and it is basically this set of tricks over and over again, even Fugaku is no exception.
It is precisely because we know the essence of factional warfare that we understand what it means.
Therefore, no matter how much the main peace faction and the main battle faction fight, even if someone breaks the rules, the Uchiha patriarchs will not be ruthless against any faction, but try to maintain the delicate balance within the Uchiha clan.
Whether to live in harmony with the village, or to properly show the edge of the Uchiha, it is all up to the patriarch's thoughts, in short, to adjust the foreign policy according to the needs, and the fundamental purpose is to ensure the interests of the Uchiha.
Therefore, just like the two sides of yin and yang, the main peace or the main battle have their own meaning of existence, and any faction of the Uchiha clan is indispensable.
But now, things have changed.
Accompanied by the Uchiha Yu, Fugaku summoned most of the core members of the main battle faction, which is now named "reactionary", and nominally held a clan meeting, but in fact carried out a bloody massacre......
This kind of behavior undoubtedly broke the political balance within the Uchiha that had always been within the clan, and the disappearance of the main battle faction also made Uchiha Yu suspicious:
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 malicious intentions towards the Uchiha clan, and then took the initiative to wipe out the capital that the Uchiha clan rebelled against.
Essentially, this is the equivalent of cutting off an arm.
"Isn't the sincerity of the root leader enough?"
Faced with Uchiha Yu's question, Fugaku thought for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, his eyes did not contain any fluctuations, as if this was his answer, the only reason for what he did today.
Mo Ran and Fu Yue looked at each other for a moment, Uchiha Yu slowly shook his head, and sighed: "Enough is naturally enough, but the root leader is just a job in the end, it is a time-limited position, what guarantee do you get, patriarch......"
"Root Leader, can you always be a member of our Uchiha clan?"
"Even if you take a step back, since the Hokage can hand over this position to you, there is naturally a possibility of taking it back......"
"What do you want to guarantee that you can sit firmly in the position of root leader?"
Uchiha Yu's words can be said to be straight to the core of the problem, making Fugaku can't help but look away from the corpses of his fellow clansmen who fell on the floor, and fell into a long silence.
A few minutes passed, and he felt that the gaze from the other side was getting sharper and sharper, and Fu Yue knew that he could no longer continue to hide it, and it was time to reveal the truth openly and honestly.
The power of the Great Elder's lineage cannot be underestimated, if his behavior today is not supported by the other party, it will definitely cause an uproar in the clan, and at that time, he, the patriarch, will be at the end.
After all, this time with the Great Elder, he didn't say in advance that he wanted to kill all the core figures of the main battle faction, and the previous massacre, strictly speaking, should be regarded as his Uchiha Fugaku's emergency action, an unplanned variable, and an unscrupulous means in his urgency.
The original agreed thing was just to expel all the core members of the main battle faction from the Uchiha clan, but it didn't say that they would be killed, Fugaku...... This time, I was really in a hurry.
I have to say that the decision to rashly use force against the members of the main battle faction is indeed a bit rash, but Fu Yue is really unwilling to let a bunch of rat of the main battle faction mess up this matter when he is about to take the position.
Although, the Great Elder's considerations were not wrong at all.
But for his own interests, for the future of the Uchiha clan, he had to make a move when he should make a move, otherwise when some bad news reached the ears of Nonoyu, and then to the ears of Lei Luo, it would be completely passive.
It must be known that even if all the members of the main battle faction are expelled from the Uchiha clan, if they are not convinced, or even do some actions, then this bad debt will inevitably be counted by Lei Luo on his Fuyue's head.
Of course, at this time, in the face of the questioning gaze of the Great Elder, Fu Yue understood that he couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't say that his behavior was fundamentally affected by the desires in his heart, so he decisively threw out another chip, and it was also one thing that couldn't be avoided by the other party in any follow-up regard:
"The fourth generation once told me personally that he intends to break up all the existing ninja clans, so that all the ninja members can be completely integrated into the village like the Thousand Hands clan."
Looking at Uchiha Yu's thoughtful old face, Fuyue paused, and then continued:
"I have thought carefully that with four generations of people, what he believes will inevitably be strictly implemented in the end, and no one has the ability to stand in front of him, and no one is qualified to raise any objections."
"Great Elder, I'm sure you've heard of the policies of the four generations over the years, there is no doubt that the four generations are vigorously strengthening the civilian ninja power in the village, and they are not friendly to all ninja clans."
"What does this mean?"
Without waiting for Uchiha Yu to answer, Fugaku's eyes suddenly became extremely serious, and he said word by word: "This means that the four generations have not given up on the plan to dismember the ninja clan. ”
"The increase in civilian power, to a certain extent, is the weakening of our ninja power, and one day, all ninjas will cease to exist, this is my judgment."
"Yes, the general trend."
