For the Uchiha Clan, the death of Kagami Uchiha was a huge loss.
As a disciple of Second Hokage, even if Kagami Uchiha cannot become the next generation of Hokage, at least as a team member of the next generation of Hokage, there is no problem in becoming a high-ranking member of the Hokage.
Just like Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu and others today.
If there is such a person as a high-level person, he can become the representative and link of the Uchiha Clan within Konoha and strive for the interests of the Uchiha Clan.
The situation Uchiha Clan faces will not be as embarrassing as it is now.
This was originally an effect specially designed by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, in order to make it a link between the Uchiha Clan and the village, so that Uchiha Clan could better integrate into the village, instead of directly forming an invisible confrontation with the Hokage family like it is now, and consuming the power within the village in vain.
But he just happened to die.
His death not only eliminated the bond between the Uchiha Clan and the village, but also meant that the efforts and investments Uchiha Clan had made in him in the past were directly in vain, thus contributing to the current bad situation.
And Itachi Uchiha, who is now sent to Namikawa Yū by Fugaku, also plays such a role, just like Kagami Uchiha once did.
But after learning the lesson from Kagami Uchiha, Uchiha Setsuna felt that Itachi alone was not enough.
You still need to add some more insurance.
"Send more people?"
Fugaku After thinking for a moment, he had to admit that his idea made sense.
If the connection between the two parties was only Itachi Uchiha, it would be too fragile.
The life of a ninja is full of accidents. What if one day Itachi Uchiha dies outside like Kagami Uchiha?
Although I hate to admit it, this situation does happen.
Due to emotions and reasons, they all need to add an insurance policy.
"Let's go there alone."
Another Clan Elder said, "He has already accepted Itachi as a student, so it seems inappropriate to continue sending people there in the name of a student."
"Then in the name of guard and attendant."
"Who should I send?"
This question silenced everyone present.
Even if someone is sent there in the name of a guard, conditions must be met.
Those who can be sent to act as guards for Namikawa Yū must not only be strong enough, but also not too old.
The strength and talent are not enough to play the role of a bond, nor can they occupy an important position next to Namikaze Minato and Namikawa Yū in the future.
If you are too old, you will not be able to develop enough trust and friendship.
To meet these conditions, such a person is not easy to find in today's Uchiha.
However, after a while, they found a candidate who met the conditions.
The grandson of Kagami Uchiha, Uchiha Shisui.
As a descendant of Kagami Uchiha, there are not many problems with his identity. Compared with other Uchiha Clan, he is more easily accepted by the Hokage family.
And unlike Itachi Uchiha, who is only four years old and has not yet shown his talent, Uchiha Shisui, who is now seven years old, has already shown his superb talent as a ninja.
If nothing else happens, he will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future.
After the name Shisui, everyone present felt that this was a good candidate.
So after that, they prepared to make arrangements and looked for an opportunity to tell Namikawa Yū the news.
While Uchiha Clan was discussing, Namikawa Yū had already returned to Namikaze Minato's home.
He was quite lucky. When he arrived at Namikaze Minato's home, Uzumaki Kushina happened to not be at home.
It did avoid a lot of destruction.
"Looking at you, things seem to be going well this time?"
Namikaze Minato looked at Namikawa Yū in front of him and smiled.
"It went pretty well."
Namikawa Yū nodded.
In front of Namikaze Minato, he told everyone about his experience in the Uchiha Clan without hiding anything.
Namikaze Minato After listening to this, his face couldn't help but show admiration. "As expected of Yu."
"Although I knew you could do it, you did it far better than I thought."
Originally, he thought that Namikawa Yū could use his campaign to persuade Uchiha Clan not to pursue Kakashi's case, and that would be enough.
Unexpectedly, Namikawa Yū exceeded the task.
Not only did he make them give up pursuing Kakashi, he even went a step further and made them stand by his side.
With the support of the Uchiha Clan, he will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning this time when he competes for Hokage.
Although he has confidence in himself, Namikaze Minato has to admit that Orochimaru is indeed a strong opponent.
The growth time of both parties is too different.
Orochimaru became famous together with his teacher Jiraiya. When he was known as Sannin, Namikaze Minato was just an ordinary student of the Ninja Academy.
Within Konoha, the other party has been operating for many more years than Namikaze Minato, and the reputation and support it has accumulated are not weak at all.
Moreover, Orochimaru's many talents are also outstanding, and he also has excellent leadership skills, which is enough to bear the title of Hokage.
Competing with such an opponent as Hokage, Namikaze Minato said in his heart that there was no pressure, which was impossible.
"Uchiha Clan can support teachers, which is a good thing, but a bad one can easily turn into a bad thing."
Namikawa Yū reminded, "There may be many people in Konoha who don't want to see Uchiha Clan integrate into the village."
"Uchiha Clan If you support the teacher, it is possible that these people will also be hostile to you, the teacher."
He was talking about none other than a group of people headed by Shimura Danzō.
If Uchiha Clan supports Namikaze Minato, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others may not say much, and may even be happy to see this situation arise, but Shimura Danzō and others are likely to be hostile to Namikaze Minato because of this.
If you don't do it right, it will cause trouble for you.
"Yeah, I understand."
Regarding Namikawa Yū's words, Namikaze Minato smiled, "But no matter what, Uchiha Clan is a part of the village, isn't it?"
"The fact that they can support me means that more people in the village recognize me."
"In that case, what do I have to fear?"
Different from ordinary people, Namikaze Minato undoubtedly has a higher vision.
He really looked at the problem from the perspective of the entire Konoha situation.
Although Uchiha Clan has not fallen to the point where future generations will be forced to stage a coup, it is still vaguely ostracized by various factions within Konoha.
If this continues, I'm afraid a fight within the village will begin.
In this situation, they are willing to support Namikaze Minato, which just shows that they are willing to take the first step and try to integrate into the village collective.
As someone who truly loves this village, Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly happy to see such a good start.
"Is that so?"
Regarding Namikaze Minato's attitude, Namikawa Yū was surprised at first, then nodded and quickly understood.
This is what people who really love Konoha think.
No matter whether he can become Hokage or not, his love for Konoha will never change.
People like Namikaze Minato, even if they are not Hokage, are still willing to fight to the death for Konoha without any hesitation.
Under such circumstances, how could he not feel happy because of the changes in the Uchiha Clan?
Namikawa Yū is not convinced about Namikaze Minato's idea, but he can understand it.
"Anyway, the Kakashi matter has been resolved."
In front of him, Namikaze Minato suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "The next thing is up to us."
"Okay."
Namikawa Yū nodded with a smile and silently stood up from where he was.
In the following days, everything returned to calm.
Just after this day, Namikawa Yū had another task.
Teach Itachi Uchiha.
After all, he is his student. No matter what he thinks in his heart, since he has become his own person, he still needs to take care of him.
At least he can't be allowed to become the problem child he originally was, and destroy the nine tribes at a young age, right?
There is a tradition of killing masters in Naruto.
Namikawa Yū doesn't want to live a good life one day, and suddenly one day his good disciple comes to kill him.
Although he is not afraid, he will be very distressed by it.
After all, if this scene really happened, it would undoubtedly indicate that his teaching of students was very problematic.
In the original story, Fugaku's teaching to Itachi Uchiha was very problematic.
They took him to the battlefield at a young age, forced him to be a double agent, put him under pressure, and so on.
Children at a young age have to kill people, have to deal with the family, Naruto, Root and other places all day long, and have to complete tasks as ninjas.
It would be strange not to be driven crazy.
Now that I have become a student of Namikawa Yū, I naturally have to change my teaching method.
In the first few days, he didn't do much, he just took Itachi around Konoha.
The young Itachi is very calm compared to other children of the same age, but after all, he is still too young and will eventually reveal his preferences.
Namikawa Yū noticed that Itachi seemed to be quite normal at this moment.
Except for being in the Uchiha Clan for a long time, he always abides by etiquette and doesn't like to talk much. In other aspects, he is not much different from an ordinary child.
He also has preferences, will have his favorite foods and snacks, and will also be interested in some things.
Just because of his overly precocious thinking, he cannot play with the children of the same age around him, and he is also very cautious about expressing his inner thoughts.
After figuring out Itachi's character, Namikawa Yū began his own teaching.
"Your body is too small and has not yet fully developed. If you perform too high-intensity training now, it will have an impact on you in the future."
Looking at Itachi in front of him, Namikawa Yū said softly, "Instead of doing high-intensity exercise now, it is better to do some other aspects of practice first."
"In terms of skills?"
Itachi Uchiha asked.
"No, other aspects."
Namikawa Yū smiled and said, "I have specially created some courses for you."
