Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! 47

"Although the Nara Clan has remained quite stable, my position is extremely awkward. Naturally, I have to consider the future."

"So what if I stay hidden for my entire life? So what if I become stronger?"

"There will never be a place for me in the Nara Clan of Leaf Village. Shikaku Nara will not give me a chance."

"Now, I've found you."

"After getting to know you over this period of time, I'm betting that you'll rise to prominence."

"I'm betting that you'll possess Hashirama Senju's strength and Tobirama Senju's methods!"

Uchiha Jin Was Moved, Nara Kazama's Scheme

Uchiha Jin was left dumbfounded by Nara Kazama's words.

Good lord!

He had only been considering how to survive the Night of the Clan Extermination, while this guy was already thinking about the safety of his descendants.

As expected of a Nara. He really did think far ahead.

However.

After thinking it over carefully, even he could not help but fall into deep thought.

Nara Kazama's considerations were right. His previous plans had been somewhat one-sided.

Faced with the threat of death and clan extermination, he had not considered much else for the time being.

But what about the future?

Just as Nara Kazama had said, could he really remain unmarried and childless for the rest of his life?

Passing on one's bloodline was instinct.

Did he really dislike women?

Bullshit!

Although he had lived in a peaceful era in his previous life, the exorbitant bride price had left him, an overworked office drone, helpless.

Now that he had been reborn into this world, was he supposed to stay single for the rest of his life too?

Absolutely not!

He knew very well that once he was completely secure, he would definitely find a wife and get married.

Then the problem arose.

After he got married and had children, could he truly protect his wife and children for the rest of their lives?

Impossible!

Not even considering what would happen after his death—while he was alive, he could not stay home twenty-four hours a day.

In this chaotic world, he would also have to face enemies and kill at any time.

And after he left, what would happen to his wife and children?

Therefore.

From beginning to end, he had only one choice.

That was to build his own force. Only then could he protect his family.

Wasn't that the very purpose behind the clans of the Warring States era and the great villages of the current Ninja World?

Having understood this, he looked at Nara Kazama again, and his gaze changed.

He had to admit it.

The Nara Clan's brains were truly remarkable. They were clearly the same age, yet Nara Kazama could think so far ahead.

Even with the experience of two lives, he was slightly inferior in that regard.

From this perspective, he would make a very good ally.

With that thought, he spoke quietly.

"Mm, that makes sense."

"Though I still don't quite understand why you trust an Uchiha like me so much."

"But it doesn't matter."

"You've successfully convinced me. Can we talk about your ideas for now?"

That was right.

Although it was a little early to discuss this, considering that they were only twelve-year-old boys, Nara Kazama was right—matters like this needed to be planned as early as possible.

So he was genuinely curious about what Nara Kazama was calculating in his heart.

Meanwhile.

Upon hearing Uchiha Jin agree, Nara Kazama finally let out a breath of relief.

His expression turned serious, with no trace of drunkenness visible. Then, with a solemn look, he spoke.

"First, the Uchiha are strong."

"Although the Uchiha clansmen have more or less their own problems, there is no denying that they are a powerful asset."

"The current Uchiha are in such a state purely because Clan Leader Fugaku is too foolish and has no leadership ability whatsoever."

"I cannot say much about the Uchiha side, because my understanding is too limited."

"But I believe Jin-kun definitely has a way. So the Uchiha side will have to rely on you—find a way to recruit everyone you can and build a force that follows your orders completely."

"I'm familiar with the Ino-Shika-Cho clans."

"I know many clansmen who have been suppressed, feared, or even secretly dealt with."

"I'll find ways to bring them over and have them truly join our force."

"As for the civilians, I believe Kudo Shin can handle them."

"His temperament and abilities are both fine. He's simply too weak right now."

"Once he truly becomes strong, he will naturally become an asset to us."

"And the Aburame, the Inuzuka, and so on..."

"In truth, every force is about the same. There are many differing voices within them, just like among your Uchiha. At most, it is simply a matter of degree."

"As long as we make good use of them, we can recruit a group of people from each one."

"We're too young, so we have plenty of time to plan. By the time our force truly takes shape—"

"If we want to eliminate Hiruzen Sarutobi and take his position, we can recruit another group of people who hate the Third Hokage's faction. After all, Danzo's Root has constantly been poaching people from every clan, earning the resentment of many."

"Even if the rest do not join us, I have ways to keep them neutral."

"Or, taking a step back."

"Even if we feel this move is too risky, we can slowly find ways to transfer the people we recruit over the years out of Leaf Village and hide them."

"There are many methods—dying during missions, being killed in vendettas, and so on..."

"There are too many excuses!"

"Especially during wartime, when we can withdraw them batch by batch."

"As long as we recruit enough people and enough strong fighters, Leaf Village will not dare to truly move against us."

"Otherwise, even if they destroy us, what remains of Leaf Village would not be able to withstand the Four Great Ninja Villages."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is not stupid. He would not dare to do such a thing."

"Of course, this is only a rough plan. If we truly carry it out, we'll need to revise it gradually."

"But if we generally follow this model, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Uchiha Jin closed his eyes and pondered.

He had to admit it.

If they could strictly carry out this plan, they could establish a force no weaker than Leaf Village in the shortest possible time.

But damn it.

This was digging at Leaf Village's very foundation!

If this matter were exposed, the two of them would be dead for sure.

At that thought.

The way he looked at Nara Kazama instantly became extremely complicated.

But at the same time.
