Chapter 354: The Hero Behind the Scenes
It's not easy!
Ape Fei looked at Itachi with a complicated expression, he had such a political skill at a young age, and such a meticulous and interlocking plan.
He couldn't help but find that he actually underestimated this super genius of the Uchiha family!
Do you want to refuse?
No chance.
As early as when he made a compromise on this matter, and Itachi recklessly acted on Zhuan Koharu, he didn't give him any chance to refuse.
Unless he regrets it now and chooses to fight hard with the Uchiha clan.
Otherwise, Mito Menyan and Koharu will inevitably be the ones who will be abandoned!
Compared to the benefits and power that the entire Uchiha clan brought to Konoha, what practical benefits could his two old friends bring to the village, in addition to the fact that their brains were often pumping and would drag him back?
As long as there is a little bit of rationality, people know how to choose.
And although Itachi's proposal seemed to cross the line a bit, it just stayed in front of the bottom line in his heart.
If Itachi wanted to take all the two high-level advisor candidates into his own hands, then it was absolutely impossible for Sarufei to accept it.
But as long as there is a place, it is different, whether it is to win over or make up, it is definitely not excessive.
Because Ape Feida can stuff the people he likes into it to achieve the effect of checks and balances, and even marginalize Fuyue.
But in any case, at least the Uchiha clan's goal of 'self-preservation' must have been achieved.
No matter how marginalized he is, Fugaku also has the right to participate in Konoha's decision-making, and he can also know the attitude of the village towards the Uchiha clan for the first time.
This is like a nail, the information is transparent, and if you want to play something yin, it is impossible to make some small actions behind your back.
"If you want to become a high-level advisor to Konoha, you must first give up your identity as a ninja..."
Before Ape Fei finished speaking, Fuyue, who had long been angry with Itachi, immediately said without hesitation, "I can give up the ninja's [Bayi Chinese Net] identity now, anyway, there are Itachi on the family side to take care of it, I am very relieved." It is my lifelong dream to contribute to the village! ”
What is the difference between giving up the status of a ninja compared to the benefits obtained?
If at this moment, Fu Yue is still the identity of the patriarch, maybe he will hesitate.
But now that the patriarch is already his son, what is it for him to make some sacrifices for the development of the Uchiha clan?
It's okay to endure it or not!
Now Fugaku just wants to take his fate into his own hands.
Although he had long expected Fuyue to have such an attitude, Sarufei still felt a great headache.
Is it enough to be a high-level advisor to Konoha with Fugaku's qualifications?
Do you still need to think about it?
Putting aside all objective factors, if even Fuyue doesn't have this qualification, why do Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu sit in this position for decades?
Experience, brain, overall situation, vision and even strength, there is no shortage of wealth.
The only thing that Mito Menyan and Koharu are stronger than Fugaku may be that the two of them together lived for more than a hundred years...
But Ape Fei didn't dare to just agree, because the stakes were so high that he had to think about it carefully.
"I need to think twice about this, and I need to get the consent of the Daimyo."
Hearing this, both Itachi and Fuyue knew that Ape Fei had wavered, at least not as insistent as before.
So Itachi, who understood the reason, immediately nodded, "This matter is not in a hurry, it is all up to Hokage-sama." ”
"Then that's what we talked about before, there are still a few borderless places in the village that can be used as a station, you can go and pick any piece of land in a while, and then move the people there as soon as possible."
"If someone asks, you know how to explain it, don't let people think that the village has really treated you badly."
"This is natural, thank you Hichi-sama. When the people hear the good news, they will definitely know your hard work. ”
"Well, I hope so. As long as I can clear up the misunderstanding, I will be relieved. ”
Ape Fei didn't know how many times he sighed today, although Itachi knew each other very well, and the village didn't make up for it practically, but a high-level advisor was enough to make his head big.
He only hopes that the Uchiha clan who get the treatment they deserve now can be honest, and don't let people say that he is leading the wolf into the house.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Walking out of the Hokage Building, Itachi and Fugaku were still in an unreal trance, as if they hadn't woken up from their dreams.
"That's it?"
Itachi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "If there are no accidents, it should be negotiated." The village doesn't want to break up with us, and we don't want to get to this point, so the current outcome is already the best. ”
"When you become a high-level advisor, father, our clan will be completely free from the previous predicament, and we will no longer worry about being targeted and suppressed."
Fu Yue sighed with a look on his face, "Yes, it's better to rely on others than on yourself after all." When Watergate became the Hokage, I thought that our clan would be reused, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but instead we fell into the quagmire and tasted the cold eyes of outsiders. ”
"You said before that no one in our clan understands the rules of the political game, and you are really right."
Itachi said with a smile on his face as he walked, "I didn't actually say this, it was Qing Yu who said it." He also said that our people love to drill the horns of the bull, and we don't know how to be flexible. ”
Fu Yue, who was about to plot a rebellion just a few days ago, looked a little embarrassed, "Anyway, I really have to thank him for this incident, and when this matter is over, you can find an opportunity to invite him to your home as a guest, you have known each other for so long, it is indeed a bit rude." If he has any requests that our Uchiha clan can do, we can also agree. As for the little contradiction in the past, let it pass. ”
"Yes, father."
"I almost forgot, now that you are the patriarch, this kind of thing naturally doesn't need me to remind you, you can just make your own decisions." After Fuyue suddenly realized his identity, he looked at Itachi with relief, pride, and a trace of melancholy that was difficult to erase.
Although everyone hopes that their son will become a dragon, when they know that their son really surpasses him, he will definitely be hypocritical and entangled when he becomes a father, which is also human nature.
When Itachi and Fugaku went back and informed all the Hokage's promises, the expression on each of their faces was not excitement, but confusion.
Because they were all mentally prepared for rebellion, they didn't believe that the village would suddenly be so kind to them!
There are even people who suspect that this is the Hokage's delaying tactic, and in order to paralyze them, he must have secretly prepared to eliminate them.
In this regard, Itachi and Fugaku could only smile bitterly.
The dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated in the hearts of the clansmen are obviously not something that can be eliminated in a sentence or two.
But when the promises made to them by the Hokage are fulfilled one by one, they will naturally change.
Take your time...
