The Uchiha clan land is still in a necessary and important position in the village, which was decided when the original Hokage and Uchiha Madara allocated a place, which is much better than the Thousand Hands clan land.

When Karn arrived at the Uchiha Clan's land, he stopped a team of guards and explained his intentions, and then he was taken to Uchiha Fugaku's house, and one of the Uchiha went to tell Uchiha Fugaku about it in advance.

"Mr. Karn, please come in."

When Karn came to the place where Uchiha Fugaku lived, the other party was already waiting for him at the door; The Minister of Propaganda of the Fire Nation and the President of the Karn Chamber of Commerce, Karn's status is no worse than that of the Uchiha in any way.

If the Uchiha clan had the old-fashioned etiquette inherited from the Hyuga clan, Kahn would definitely have to be given a set.

"Patriarch Fuyue, it's a pity that I didn't communicate with you much when I came back to visit."

Karn and Uchiha Fugaku flattered each other at the door, and then were taken to the living room of the house by Uchiha Fugaku, and as soon as they sat down, a beautiful woman with a mature temperament pushed the door in.

The home skirt was very slim and decent, she knelt in front of the table with the tea set, revealing a calf dressed in shredded flesh, and the peach cheeks on her cheeks were slightly soft, and she silently withdrew after putting down the tea set.

This must be Uchiha Mikoto, Karn only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze, not too rude to come a second time, and then set his eyes on the tea.

Uchiha Fugaku said with a little apology: "Prepared in a hurry, the tea is not very good, please forgive Mr. Karn." ”

"This is already very good, to make Mr. Fuyue laugh, I have only developed in recent years, and I am not the kind of person who has an aristocratic heritage."

After Karn finished speaking, he talked to Uchiha Fugaku about some other things, from the ninja world to the ninja world, and finally to business cooperation; In this regard, Uchiha Fugaku is not like his father, and after a little thought, he agreed.

Now cooperating with Karn is their Uchiha clan climbing, although they also cooperate with the ninja cat clan, but their ability is much worse than the Karn Chamber of Commerce.

Whether it is the sale of weapons or the supply of raw materials, replacing the ninja cat clan with the Karn Chamber of Commerce will increase the Uchiha clan's business by sixty percent; The increased supply of raw materials can provide livelihoods for the clansmen and even increase subsidies for each clan.

This bunch of miscellaneous things, most of them are pressed on Uchiha Fugaku's body, and now Karn offers to take the initiative to cooperate, Uchiha Fugaku will refuse unless he has a bad brain, war is the most consuming thing for a clan, even if the Uchiha clan is one of the best wealthy clans in Konoha, after a few years of war, the ninjas in the clan, the accumulated clan property has consumed a lot.

As for the subsidies and mission honorarium given by Konoha Village, it is only a drop in the bucket for the families of war orphans, and the majority of the money is paid by the Uchiha clan themselves.

If there were no subsidies from the clan, it would be impossible to practice the Uchiha shuriken throwing technique with the subsidy from the village alone, which consumes a lot of ninja equipment and is difficult for ordinary families to afford.

It took more than an hour for Karn and Uchiha Fugaku to chat and discuss cooperation in the house, and seeing that the time was about the same, Karn didn't beat around the bush anymore and said directly to Uchiha Fugaku

"Patriarch Fugaku, let's get straight to the point, Orochimaru hopes that the Uchiha clan can help him, and in return, after he becomes the Hokage, he can let the Uchiha clan get out of the guard, and other departments in the village can also be open to the Uchiha clan."

Karn's directness made Uchiha Fugaku stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it in his heart for a while, Uchiha Fugaku spoke: "Mr. Karn, the Uchiha clan also has a lot of hope for the four generations of Hokage, and it is really difficult for us to give up the competition for the position of Hokage to help Orochimaru." ”

"Patriarch Fugaku, what is the confidence of the Uchiha clan to compete for the position of Hokage?"

Karn shook his head and said, "Battle exploits? Fame? Or is it the trust of Konoha higher-backs? Or the assignment of a daimyo? The Fugaku Patriarch, the Uchiha clan may be trusted by some Konoha ninjas in the war with their strength, but with this I want to become the Hokage... You might as well think about it, how strong is the Uchiha clan than Orochimaru? ”

"By the way, Patriarch Fugaku, the daimyo will appoint Orochimaru to become the fourth Hokage, and only one person will be appointed Orochimaru."

After hearing Karn say this, Uchiha Fugaku thought of his identity, and immediately knew that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation had been persuaded by Karn.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned slightly and said, "In that case, wouldn't Lord Orochimaru be able to become the fourth generation Hokage safely, and he shouldn't need the help of the Uchiha clan." ”

"Yes, because the three generations of Hokage are interested in the genius ninja on the battlefield of the country of grass, although Orochimaru has a great chance of winning, but I am afraid that the three generations of Hokage will play a scoundrel..."

Karn briefly spoke to Uchiha Fugaku, and after a little thought, he understood; After all, I have studied with Uchiha Hamada for a short time, and I still know some political fighting spirit.

"Patriarch Fugaku, it's easy for the Uchiha clan to judge whether cooperating with Orochimaru can get greater benefits, or cooperating with Sarutobi Hizashi can get greater benefits."

Karn said slowly, just finishing the tea in the cup, and then slowly got up and said, "I heard that there is a high-level person in Konoha who has a bad prejudice against the Uchiha clan, and I believe that the Fugaku patriarch can also feel it.... If you are interested in my proposal, Patriarch Fugaku can send someone to me in the near future. ”

After saying this, Karn and Uchiha Fugaku took their leave and walked outside, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Uchiha Mikoto waiting outside, not far or close, like Yamato Nadeshiko waiting in the aisle.

Seeing that Karn was about to leave, Uchiha Mikoto asked with a polite smile, "Are you leaving now, Mr. Karn, do you want to stay and eat?" I'm already preparing dinner.."

"Today is not the time, let's be next time, Lady Mai Trin."

Karn smiled and refused, and was then sent to the door by the Uchiha Fugaku and his wife, and left directly.

..............

"What's wrong, Fugaku?"

In the evening, Uchiha Mikoto saw that her husband's brows were tightly knit for a long time, and he didn't even eat much dinner, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said: "Because of the Hokage's election, some time ago, the clan was more inclined to let me run for the fourth generation of Hokage, but now it seems that the Uchiha clan's hope is very slim, and the chance of winning is not great." ”

"In that case, then don't participate in the election of the four generations of Hokage."

Uchiha Mikoto doesn't know much about political matters, although she is the upper shinobi in the village, but not long after becoming a upper ninja, she retired to concentrate on taking care of her family, and she rarely cares about the affairs of the village anymore.

"As the patriarch, I always have to fight for the interests of the clan, not to mention that the Uchiha clan has also made a lot of contributions in this war, if I can't even fight for what I deserve, it will be a dereliction of duty for my patriarch."

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice, but although he has this heart, he is still often targeted.

One of the things that Karn said to him today made Uchiha Fugaku care very much, and that was that there were really people in the Konoha hierarchy who were targeting the Uchiha clan; It's nothing to be promoted to forbearance, but promotion to forbearance is often rejected.

Now there are nine clansmen in the garrison who have the eyes of the three-hooked jade writing wheel, but they do not have the status of a ninja; He has always understood in his heart that Konoha Shangnin has the right to discuss and make decisions on major affairs in the village, and Konoha often rejects the promotion of the Uchiha clan's Shangnin, probably because he is afraid that they will have too much power to speak in the Shangninja meeting.

And the reason for Konoha's high-level rejection is well-founded, although it is just some small things that I can't even remember, but Konoha took it out as a reason for rejecting the promotion to Shangnin.

Uchiha Fugaku also defended this, but it didn't work.

"Orochimaru... Bo Feng Shui Gate..."

Uchiha Fugaku thought about it for a long time, and finally leaned to Orochimaru's side in his heart.

It's not just because of Karn's existence, there are a lot of ninja clans on the side of the Bo Feng Shui Gate, although one of his students is a member of the Uchiha clan, but the side of the Bo Feng Shui Gate is not a good choice for the entire Uchiha.

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly thought that the Minister of Karn seemed to have a good relationship with Kushina Uzumaki of the Sealing Class, and she was still a nine-tailed human pillar force who could control the power of the tailed beast.

"Mikoto, I remember you said that you seem to know Kushina Uzumaki?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment when she heard her husband's question, then nodded and said, "I know, but I don't know her very well, she's very warm, but we've only said hello a few times." ”

She and Kushina met in a dessert shop, and there were a few times when Uzumaki Kushina was very enthusiastic about helping her choose desserts, and Mikoto thought that Kushina was a clerk, and finally figured out that she was a ninja in the sealing class.

"Then maintain the relationship, and if you have time, you can invite her to the house."

Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth and said, as for finding out the news from Uzumaki Kushina, it is okay to wait for the acquaintance to try again.

As for whether the Uchiha clan can get close to the human pillar force, Uchiha Fugaku is not at all worried that the Konoha high-level will come out to warn them; The Nine-Tails Zhu Li is about to marry someone from another village, does the Konoha high-level make any moves?

"I see, Fugaku."

Mikoto agreed, as Fuyue's wife, she should solve his problems at such a time.

.............

On the second day, Uchiha Fugaku went to the garrison early in the morning to tell the clan about the clan meeting, and Mikoto told Uchiha Itachi to be home alone, and then she picked up her shopping bag and prepared to go to the dessert shop to have a look.

If you can't touch Kushina, buy sweets and fresh vegetables.

However, Uchiha Mikoto was lucky, she had just come to the vicinity of the dessert shop, and she saw Kushina walking towards the dessert shop with a happy face; Seeing this, a smile also appeared on Uchiha Mikoto's face and walked towards Kushina.
