"Benefits?"
Fugaku Uchiha was the first to speak, and was very concerned about the question raised by Namikawa Yū: "How do you say it?"
"The biggest advantage is naturally being able to integrate into the Hokage family."
Namikawa Yū spoke softly, "I know that Uchiha Clan has always wanted to become the core of Konoha, but if you want to do this, you cannot be hostile to the current Hokage line."
"Even if we can't be friendly with the Hokage family, we should at least ease the relationship."
"This time is undoubtedly an opportunity."
He said, "As long as Uchiha Clan supports my teacher to be on Hokage Position, Uchiha Clan will be Fourth Hokage's most loyal supporter in the future."
"At that time, Uchiha Clan will naturally be considered a member of the Hokage family."
If you can't become Hokage, then you first become a supporter of Hokage?
Listening to these words, Fugaku Uchiha was thoughtful.
To be honest, before this, he had been worrying about the Uchiha Clan's way out.
Uchiha Clan is quite embarrassed in today's Konoha, and has always been suppressed by the Hokage family.
Judging from the current situation, their hope of competing for Hokage Position is really slim.
But at this moment, Namikawa Yū's words opened up a whole new path for him.
Yes, since Uchiha Clan is destined not to become Hokage, why not make full use of this influence and cash it into real benefits?
If you can't become Hokage, then becoming a supporter of Hokage is equally good.
Just like the three tribes of Konoha today.
As loyal supporters of Third Hokage, they have gained a lot of benefits.
The situation is at least much stronger than the current Uchiha Clan.
The strength of the Uchiha Clan is definitely higher than these three clans. If you can choose to support a Hokage, the benefits you can get in the future will definitely not be small.
And this can undoubtedly become a key step into the core of Konoha.
"Wonderful."
Fugaku Uchiha kept thinking about this proposal in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
What he was thinking about was actually how to get Uchiha Clan to be accepted into the core of Konoha so as not to face the embarrassing situation again.
But if you can stand next to the next generation of Hokage and become the most loyal supporter around Fourth Hokage, wouldn't you also be able to achieve your goal?
No, it even works better this way.
Because praying for others' acceptance in an almost begging way is not worth launching your own spokesperson to speak for yourself?
Even better, Namikaze Minato also has this requirement.
Compared to Orochimaru, he is just a rising star. Apart from his reputation as a battlefield hero, he has nothing.
Orochimaru not only has a reputation that is not inferior to Namikaze Minato, but has also been famous within Konoha for many years and has huge influence.
There are a large number of ninjas in Konoha who are their admirers.
There are also many people within the senior leadership of the Hokage series who express their support for it.
But it is said to have an advantage.
Although judging from subsequent history, there is no doubt that the final winner of this Hokage election is Namikaze Minato, but from the current perspective, Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Compared to him, Orochimaru has a huge advantage. Although it is not nearly overwhelming, it can still be regarded as having the upper hand.
The weaker we are, the more we need the support of the Uchiha Clan.
In this case, the importance of the Uchiha Clan will become more prominent, and the more benefits it will gain in the future. O
"Even if we have to choose a side to support, why can't we choose Orochimaru?"
Another person spoke up and questioned at this moment, "Compared to Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru undoubtedly has a higher winning rate."
Although Namikawa Yū's words moved their hearts, they still used it as a reason to see how Namikawa Yū would reply.
"Indeed."
Contrary to their expectations, when faced with their questioning, Namikawa Yū nodded directly and admitted this. "Compared to Lord Orochimaru, Minato-sensei is indeed worse now."
"Whether it is the number of followers or other aspects, it is inferior to Lord Orochimaru."
"But precisely because of this, we need your support even more."
He smiled and said, "It is easier to support Lord Orochimaru, but how useful can it be and how much affection can Lord Orochimaru remember?"
"The opposite is different."
When he said this, his face was calm, but his eyes were fixed on everyone present. "Only by holding back the general trend and helping the weak to defeat the strong can you show your ability."
"With the strength of the Uchiha Clan, why should we care who is strong and who is weak?"
"Whoever you support will be able to become Hokage. Doesn't this further prove the strength of the Uchiha Clan?"
After saying these words, everyone present at Uchiha was stunned.
Except for Fugaku who is Clan Head, those who can sit here and be responsible for receiving distinguished guests are basically old men.
But even they were also excited by what Namikawa Yū said at this moment.
"Well said!"
One Clan Elder couldn't help but cheer. "Bullying the weak by relying on the strong is nothing. Helping the weak defeat the strong is what the real strong does!"
"Orochimaru Even if it's stronger, so what!"
"With my help, Uchiha Clan, Namikaze Minato will surely win the Hokage title this time!"
"No problem!"
"Clan Head, make your decision!"
"My Uchiha Clan's honor and disgrace will be prosperous in one fell swoop!"
They looked at Fugaku in front of them, and in turn urged Clan Head to make a decision quickly.
Looking at their performance, it seems that they can't help but want to stand up directly, participate in this Hokage election, and help Namikaze Minato win this Hokage election.
By nature, most Uchiha Clan are proud.
In the entire Konoha, except for Senju, no one looks down on them.
In this case, if you praise their strength and reputation, they will naturally be quite satisfied and agree with you.
Especially Namikawa Yū's previous words touched their hearts.
With the strength of the Uchiha Clan, there is no need to see who is strong and who is weak!
Even if Orochimaru is strong and Namikaze Minato is weak, so what?
With me, Uchiha Clan, here, why worry that Namikaze Minato can't beat Orochimaru, and capture Hokage Position in one fell swoop.
By that time, I, Uchiha Clan, will also be a direct descendant of Hokage, and I will be born into the dignified Konoha direct descendant.
The situation is naturally very different.
All of a sudden, the Uchiha Clan Elders present turned around and started actively persuading Fugaku and this Clan Head.
Looking at this posture, it seems as if he is about to lose control and prepare for a big fight.
Namikawa Yū sat aside, looking at the posture in front of him, feeling a little speechless at this moment.
Before coming here, he actually prepared a large set of rhetoric, which included both real interests and many other plans.
As a result, he was almost done with these tricks before he even used them?
Is this Uchiha Clan so easy to fool?
After all, they are a wealthy family.
Namikawa Yū is puzzled.
But this is fine.
At least it saves you trouble.
Originally Namikawa Yū estimated that it would take at least a long time to get rid of the Uchiha Clan's group of people.
But now it seems that maybe it can be done this time.
"Everyone please be quiet first."
Fugaku Uchiha is sitting opposite Namikawa Yū.
As a standard Uchiha, he was also a little excited by what Namikawa Yū just said, and he almost couldn't help but agree.
However, the responsibility of being Clan Head still made him brake at the critical moment and barely maintain a trace of calmness.
"You just said, let us support Namikaze Minato."
He looked at Namikawa Yū in front of him and asked at this moment, "If we support him to board Hokage Position, what will Uchiha Clan gain?"
This is the benefit.
What Namikawa Yū said was indeed in line with his appetite, and the suggestions provided to them were also in line with the Uchiha Clan's reality at this moment.
But although Uchiha Clan people are easy to fool, they are still somewhat rational after all.
Just like it is now.
Fugaku Uchiha was actually a little tempted by Namikawa Yū's series of words, but he still maintained his apparent calmness, and even had the intention to inquire, wanting to know something specific and practical.
Let Uchiha Clan invest in supporting you, no problem.
But you have to let us know what benefits we can get, right?
"What can be gained?"
Listening to Fugaku's question, Namikawa Yū smiled, "I got the opportunity to integrate into Konoha, and I also got a real ally."
"Allies?"
Fugaku Uchiha is thoughtful.
"To be honest, neither I nor my teacher comes from a wealthy family in Konoha."
Compared with before, Namikawa Yū's attitude at this moment is very sincere. "Compared to those who come from rich families or have been in business for many years, we don't have many supporters behind us."
"If Uchiha Clan is willing to join us now, he will be our only ally within Konoha."
"No matter whether this Hokage campaign is successful or not, and no matter what the future holds, my teacher and I are Uchiha Clan's most loyal friends."
"And friends are worthy of being taken seriously..
, he looked at the Uchiha people in front of him. "If my teacher can become Hokage, Uchiha Clan will be able to gain greater freedom... and the power to change Konoha.
is
"We're all unhappy with the status quo, aren't we?"
He smiled and said, "If that's the case, why can't we unite and change this village together?"
"Even if you fail, you can still make your voice heard, right?"
The implication of this statement is that there are no other supporters behind Namikaze Minato. As long as Uchiha Clan joins now, he will definitely gain more power in the future.
After all, as a bare-bones Hokage with not many clan members and not even a few direct subordinates, even if Namikaze Minato boarded Hokage Position, he would still have to face the situation of being unavailable in a short period of time.
At that time, even if it is out of practical needs, Uchiha Clan, as its only loyal supporter, will be reused.
After all, Namikaze Minato does have this need.
The phrase "Unite together and change the village together" is a naked hint.
After all, if you want to change this village, how can you do it without enough power?
Listening to Namikawa Yū's statement, all Uchiha Clan present were very satisfied.
For them, at this stage, it is good to have such a statement.
Don't look at it. Namikawa Yū promises not many things, and they are not real things.
But to be honest, this is the best treatment Uchiha Clan has ever received.
In the past time in Konoha, Uchiha Clan has always been the one who was suppressed by vigilance. When did someone win over him like this?
It was the first time for Uchiha to enjoy this kind of treatment. Everyone felt very satisfied.
Moreover, they are not worried that the other party will regret it.
Just like what Namikawa Yū just said, Namikaze Minato is just alone.
He was not from the ninja clan, he was just a commoner, and he did not have any relatives around him.
Although his disciples, Namikawa Yū and Kakashi Hatake, are from the ninja clan, they don't have much strength.
Hatake is just a small family, and the Nanchuan clan is even more depleted, so that Namikawa Yū has become a loner.
In this case, even if Namikaze Minato becomes Hokage, he will be just a bare Hokage as Namikawa Yū said.
In this case, what reason does he have for not reusing his loyal supporter, Uchiha Clan, who is from a famous Konoha family?
This is about getting what you need.
Namikaze Minato has strength and fame, but does not have its own basic base.
Uchiha Clan has its own basic base, but does not have the strength and reputation to support their competition for Hokage. In this regard, the two can be said to hit it off.
After confirming the sincerity and conditions of the other party, the atmosphere of the subsequent chat between the two parties became quite relaxed and pleasant.
As for the original purpose of Namikawa Yū and Kakashi's Sharingan, no one mentioned it at all at this moment.
It's not that I forgot about it, I just ignored it tacitly.
If Uchiha Clan once decides to stand on Namikaze Minato's chariot and form an ally with it, then it is natural that he must show his sincerity.
In this case, a mere Sharingan is nothing.
Moreover, the senior management of the Uchiha Clan headed by Fugaku had no intention of pursuing this matter too closely.
When they pursued this matter, they simply wanted to give an explanation to their clansmen.
As long as the Hokage family can give them enough steps for them to walk down calmly, then they will follow the steps.
And now, Namikawa Yū has sent the steps up.
Fugaku and others will naturally know how to deal with it.
"One more thing."
During the discussion, Fugaku Uchiha thought for a moment, and then asked someone to bring a child.
The child didn't look very old, only three or four years old, but he looked very calm, with a calmness that was beyond that of a child of this age.
"Father."
When he walked into the hall, he saluted Fugaku with a respectful expression, and then sat aside respectfully.
"This is my eldest son Itachi."
Looking at Namikawa Yū in front of him, Fugaku Uchiha said, "What do You think of him?"
Listening to Fugaku Uchiha's words, Namikawa Yū looked at him curiously.
