How to ease relations with the village?

When Itachi asked this question, Fugaku instinctively raised his vigilance in his heart.

But soon, he remembered his son's precocious remarks last night, and slowly relaxed.

Do you want to dig deeper on this topic? With a ...... Five-year-olds?

"Itachi, can you guarantee that today's conversation won't leak out?"

In the end, Fugaku decided to believe in his son, who had been extremely wise since he was a child.

It's also a good thing for him to know about this as soon as possible.

Rather than being influenced by some ill-intentioned people, Fugaku hopes that he will plant a seed in Itachi's heart first.

Itachi nodded, "I'll keep it a secret, father." ”

This is an issue that should only be mentioned at clan meetings that you can participate in after becoming a ninja.

But he still wanted to know what his father really thought.

And, hear if Artoria has any advice on this.

“…… To understand how I plan to ease the relationship between the clan and the village, I need to know why the village and the clan are in conflict. ”

Fuyue looked at Itachi and asked, "How much do you know about this?" ”

"During the Warring States period, Senju and Uchiha were feuding."

Itachi recalled the books he had read, "But in a certain generation, Senju Tsuruma, the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Clan, and Madara Uchiha, the patriarch of our Uchiha, put aside their hatred for each other and established Konoha for the sake of peace. ”

"But the flame of hatred has not been extinguished, only for a short time."

"When Konoha was built, it enveloped people such as Sarutobi, Shimura, Nara, and Akimichi...... After waiting for the clan, Senju Tsuruma was supported by many families because of his personality and became the first Hokage. ”

"Compared to the well-regarded Thousand Hands Pillar, our Uchiha Madara was isolated by the other families, and he chose to leave because he was unwilling to surrender......"

He briefly explained what he knew about the family history.

Including later, after Madara Uchiha left Konoha and returned to Konoha to destroy the village he had built single-handedly.

"So when do you think the conflict between our clan and the village began?"

These are all histories in the books, and Fugaku was not surprised by Itachi's answer, and continued to ask, "Is it because of Madara Uchiha?" Or is it ...... Blood? ”

He also remembered that Itachi once said that the family was ostracized because the family concept was too strong and did not conform to the concept of the village.

Itachi fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head to look at his father and replied, "I think...... From the very beginning, we went in the wrong direction, starting with the establishment of the village. ”

"Good answer."

And next to her, Artoria quickly realized the reason for Itachi's words, and her eyes were full of appreciation, "You've ...... Consider it from a relatively vast height. ”

As the king's vision, he already has it.

Compared to Artoria, who was already aware of Itachi's thoughts, Fugaku was a little puzzled, "There was a mistake from the time the village was founded? ”

"Yes, I don't think we Uchiha should be involved in building the village."

As he answered, Itachi's thoughts continued to become clearer, "Judging from what my father just said, it seems that some people in the clan attribute the conflict between the family and the village to Madara Uchiha. ”

"But I think that's wrong."

"I think that even if the person who became the first Hokage was not Senju Tsuruma, but Madara Uchiha, we Uchiha would still be excluded, and even Konoha would be disbanded because of this."

"Compared to other families, which are passed down according to secret techniques, the foundation of our family's inheritance lies in bloodline."

"Unless we give up the Sharingan and allow the bloodline to gradually thin out in the passage of time with foreign races, it is impossible for us to truly integrate into Konoha and become a member of Konoha."

"And about this, I don't think that Madara Uchiha or the rest of our clan can give up our surname, give up our bloodline, and completely integrate into the big tree of Konoha like a thousand hands, and become the nourishment for Konoha to grow."

Although he didn't know what conflicts the clan had with the village over the years, he didn't know what unequal treatment the clansmen had suffered in the village.

But...... Itachi clearly judged based on the information he had at this stage that as a bloodline family, they simply couldn't leave behind the so-called family concept and integrate into Konoha.

"I have read the ninja calendar, and looking at the five major ninja villages, none of them can completely let an independent blood family continue to develop."

"Even the Night Moon Clan, who often hold the position of Thunder Shadow in Yunyin Village, has gradually integrated their bloodline into Yunyin Village through intermarriage."

"When the various ethnic groups gather together in the village, those clans that still maintain the concept of family will eventually be eliminated, and only the clans that abandon the family and take the village as a unit will be accepted."

"Maybe Madara Uchiha left Konoha because he realized this, and even came back later to destroy Konoha."

"It's not so much that we Uchiha and Senju have built a home called Konoha, but that we Uchiha have cultivated an enemy called Konoha for ourselves."

"It's not even just such an enemy, we Uchiha promoted the idea of establishing a ninja village, but we ourselves are trapped in the bloodline."

"But that's it...... Between Uchiha and Konoha, apart from the disappearance of one side, is there really another path to choose? ”

As he thought, Itachi's mind became clearer.

He hadn't thought about these issues before, after all, the family's affairs were not something he could participate in.

And now, when he really looks at the entire chain of relationships from the perspective of the Uchiha, he finds ...... There is no way out!

Even if the situation is still calm now, one day, the intensification of the conflict will make the people of the clan continue to become radical until the end......

"No, it's not."

Fu Yue's face gradually became serious about Itachi's remarks, and he really regarded him as a person who could discuss with each other, "Itachi, your idea is very dangerous, of course our clan has other options." ”

"In addition to the Uchiha, have you forgotten that there is another family in Konoha that is inherited by blood?"

Itachi groaned for a moment, "You mean...... Hinata? ”

But soon, he shook his head, "But there is a difference between Hinata and us, the system of the clan, the division of the family, and the caged bird, so that Hinata can protect his bloodline." ”

"At the same time, Hinata's white eyes play a much broader role on the battlefield than our Uchiha."

"Every Hinata who opens his white eyes is a top-level perceptual ninja, and there are many ninjas in the village who have survived because of Hinata's white eyes."

"On the other hand, the Uchiha's Sharingan, although powerful, cannot be used as a bridge to maintain a relationship with the village."

And standing opposite him, Uchiha Fugaku calmly replied, "Why not? ”
