Chapter 32: Building a Bridge
Why...... No way?
Uchiha Itachi looked at his father in confusion.
"I've also considered these issues you mentioned."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Itachi with a complicated gaze, "Our clan has been trying for decades to confirm the fact that we can't successfully integrate into Konoha like other families. ”
"The bloodline is the barrier between us and the other families, Konoha, and the cage in which we imprison ourselves."
"But although we can't really become a member of Konoha, it doesn't mean that we will always be excluded and have no way to live in peace with Konoha all the time."
Speaking of this, his tone was even more solemn, "You're right, the white eye is the bridge between Hinata and Konoha, and many ninjas in the village have been blessed by Hinata. ”
"They are generally bloodline families with us, but their relationship with Konoha is completely different from our relationship with Konoha."
"So...... I've been trying to learn from them and build a bridge with Konoha. ”
"And recently, I finally found a way out."
Hearing this, Itachi immediately understood what his father said about easing the relationship, "You plan to make a deal with the writing wheel?" ”
"No, it's not a deal, it's a bond that connects each other!"
At this time, Fugaku had already treated Itachi as an adult, "Some time ago, there was a battle at the Kannabi Bridge on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land Country, and one of our clansmen, Uchiha Obito, died there. ”
"And before he died, he gave one of his writing wheels as a sustenance to his companion, Kakashi Hagi."
"Similarly, Kakashi Hachiki did not live up to the trust of Uchiha Obito, and worked hard to adapt to the writing wheel eye that did not match his bloodline, and watched the world with that writing wheel eye!"
Speaking of this, his tone became more and more serious, "From them, I see the way out for the Uchiha. ”
"In the past, because of the rejection of the villagers, people in our clan did not like to come into contact with outsiders."
"But what if...... How about we follow this connection between Uchiha Obito and Kakashi Hachiki? ”
"Since in the process of going with the flow, we Uchiha and Konoha can't get along peacefully, then we will take the initiative to intervene and correct some problems."
"It's not like there have been no foreign ninjas who have befriended our Uchiha people in the past few decades, but often, this friendship is severed with the death of the clan."
"Therefore, I want to try to use the writing wheel eye to maintain the bond with the outside world, so that people will not go to the tea and cold ......."
Uchiha Fugaku briefly recounted his thoughts.
It's like Uchiha Obito pinning his only writing wheel eye to Kakashi Hachiki before he died.
This sustenance will cause Kakashi Hachiki to have some connection with the Uchiha.
And as these connections become more and more, and the people in the village slowly become associated with the Uchiha, Konoha and the Uchiha will gradually change from an exclusive relationship to an inseparable part.
Itachi didn't respond immediately, but asked Artoria next to her in her heart.
She didn't skimp on her own ideas, and made a pertinent evaluation of this method, "...... Although it sounds easy, it is not easy to implement. ”
"And feelings are the most difficult kind of connection to form, and this method undoubtedly requires a lot of time to precipitate, which may be more than ten years or decades."
"So...... How can the Uchiha avoid the conflict between the family and the village during this time? ”
Truly......
This may sound like a partly feasible solution, but it will take a long time.
And when Itachi relayed Artoria's thoughts to his father.
Uchiha Fugaku once again praised his calm thinking, "During this time of emotional connection, we need the support of some Konoha executives to maintain the stability of the relationship between the two. ”
"Uchiha is the hero of Konoha's village, although he has not been able to integrate into Konoha, but Konoha can't ignore our existence, after all, our strength is very strong."
"If we lose the support of our clan, it will be a very heavy blow to Konoha."
"So if there is a way to have both worlds, I believe that Konoha will not refuse, and I have recently been trying to communicate with some of the ninjas in the core area of Konoha politics, hoping to ease relations between them."
Quietly listening to Fugaku's answer, Itachi's face was always calm and calm.
"And the person I spoke to was very supportive of some of my plans when they heard about it."
Fu Yue's face has been very solemn, "In the next few months, he will try to run for the position of the fourth generation." ”
"Although we Uchiha can't sit in that seat by ourselves, we can fully support and befriend the next Hokage, and the subsequent period is a very important stage."
"Itachi, the talent you have shown makes me happy, but it's also heavy."
"I may not be able to take care of this family and you in the future, but I hope you can look at some people in the clan calmly, and don't have the idea of dying because of the radical thoughts of some people."
"Our family has been inherited for thousands of years, and we can't be ruined just because some people are hot-blooded!"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand, father."
Itachi nodded calmly, "But...... Father, can you be sure that the Konoha high-ranking person you came into contact with is willing to help us from the bottom of his heart? ”
"Is there a possibility that he just used us to sit in that seat and then ......"
"There's no need to worry about that."
Fugaku shook his head, "He's a ninja of the same generation as his wife, me, and your mother. ”
"When we were younger, we used to carry out tasks together, and we never broke the connection with each other."
"He's a very reliable and sunny ninja, and there's a lot of noise in the village that wants him to be the fourth Hokage."
"I believe that when he sits in that seat, he will keep his promise and become a bridge between our Uchiha and Konoha."
Friends you've known since you were young?
Itachi searched in his memory, but unfortunately, he didn't know much about his parents' network.
But since his father was so determined, he had no way to dissuade him.
But if the next four Hokages are really willing to think on their Uchiha's side, then maybe ...... The relationship between the family and Konoha can really be eased.
"Don't worry, father, I will take care of myself during this time, and I will also take care of the family."
Itachi calmly made a promise.
Since my father really had important things to do, he was supposed to help.
This is the first time he has been so close to his father, but it has allowed him to overturn his previous stereotypes about his father.
