Uchiha Ying Yue recalled his recent conversations with Elder Senju Mufeng and Elder Uchiha Setsuna.
Elder Senju Mufeng had expressed his willingness to fully support Ying Yue in rebuilding the Senju Clan, while Elder Uchiha Setsuna hoped that Ying Yue could become Hokage to alleviate the friction between the Uchiha Clan and the village, also offering his full support.
Since they are both willing to support me, why not leverage these two forces to establish my own intelligence network? Ying Yue calculated inwardly. Elder Senju Mufeng has a burning desire to see the Senju Clan rebuilt, and Elder Uchiha Setsuna wants to see the Uchiha Clan rise again within the village. If I can integrate their strengths, I can not only accelerate my plans but also secure a firmer footing in the village.
Uchiha Ying Yue knew that the influence of the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan in Konoha was profound.
Although most of the Senju Clan had integrated into the village, their residual power was not to be underestimated; while the Uchiha Clan faced certain restrictions within the village, their strength and potential remained formidable.
With his mind made up, Ying Yue had a clear plan of action. Upon returning to Konoha, he would first visit Elder Senju Mufeng to propose the idea of building an intelligence network and request that he mobilize the Senju Clan's resources to support the initiative.
Since Elder Senju Mufeng was willing to support Ying Yue in rebuilding the Senju Clan, he likely would not refuse this request.
Next, Ying Yue intended to visit Elder Uchiha Setsuna. Uchiha Setsuna was single-mindedly focused on seeing Ying Yue become Hokage to ease the tensions between the Uchiha and the village, and he also hoped to revitalize the Uchiha Clan through Ying Yue.
If Ying Yue proposed using the Uchiha Clan's strength to build an intelligence network, Elder Uchiha Setsuna would surely be happy to support it.
If the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans can be integrated, it will undoubtedly become an incomparably formidable force. Ying Yue felt filled with confidence. Not only will I be able to build a powerful intelligence network, but through these two forces, I will be able to gradually establish a firm foothold in Konoha.
Upon returning to Konoha, Uchiha Ying Yue did not hesitate for a moment and immediately set about implementing his plan.
To successfully establish an intelligence network, he had to first secure the support of the Senju Clan. Ying Yue decided to visit Elder Senju Mufeng; this old man, who firmly supported the reconstruction of the Senju Clan, would be the key figure in his plan.
Walking through the familiar streets of Konoha, Ying Yue felt a bit nervous, but more than that, he felt determined.
He knew that this visit would determine the success or failure of his future actions.
Arriving at Elder Senju Mufeng's residence, Ying Yue took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Shortly after, Elder Mufeng opened the door himself, his face still wearing a kind and wise smile.
"Ying Yue, you've come." Elder Mufeng nodded slightly, signaling for Ying Yue to enter.
Ying Yue stepped inside and politely bowed to Elder Mufeng: "Elder Mufeng, there are some things I would like to consult you about."
"If you have something to say, just say it," Elder Mufeng said with a smile. "I know you, lad; you never do anything without a reason."
Ying Yue cut straight to the point, making no effort to hide his intentions: "Elder Mufeng, I have been thinking about the reconstruction of the Senju Clan recently. You once said you would fully support my plan to rebuild the clan, but I believe that to achieve this goal, strength alone is not enough."
Elder Mufeng was slightly taken aback, listening quietly as Ying Yue continued.
"In my view, intelligence is the key to rebuilding the Senju Clan," Ying Yue said, his tone steady and his gaze firm. "If we can master sufficient intelligence, we can take the initiative in future actions. Whether it is interacting with other factions in the village or dealing with potential enemies, we must be proactive to remain invincible."
Elder Mufeng nodded, signaling his agreement: "Intelligence is indeed an important part of rebuilding the Senju Clan. But how do you intend to achieve it? Building an intelligence network is no simple task."
Ying Yue continued to explain: "Elder Mufeng, although most of the Senju clansmen have integrated into the village, there are still many who remain loyal to the family and are unwilling to completely abandon the Senju legacy. I believe these clansmen can become the backbone of our intelligence organization. Through them, we can gradually build an intelligence network that covers Konoha and even extends to other nations."
Seeing Elder Mufeng deep in thought, Ying Yue decided to further elaborate on the pros and cons: "Elder, the road to rebuilding the Senju Clan is destined to be uneven. Other factions in Konoha will not easily let us rise again. Without a powerful intelligence organization, our every move will be restricted, and we may even encounter unexpected obstacles."
Ying Yue's tone grew heavier as he continued: "Furthermore, the Ninja World is currently in flux, with constant conflicts between nations. If we lack sufficient sources of intelligence, we are likely to be caught off guard in future upheavals, which could even lead to the further decline of the Senju Clan."
"Only by mastering sufficient information can we foresee risks in advance, make correct decisions, and take effective action when necessary. Only then can the Senju Clan rise again in the village and remain invincible amidst the turmoil of the Ninja World."
Elder Mufeng was silent for a moment, clearly weighing Ying Yue's words.
He knew well that what Ying Yue said was true; the reconstruction of the Senju Clan was no easy task, and a powerful intelligence network could indeed provide a strong guarantee for the family's revival.
After some thought, Elder Mufeng finally spoke, his tone carrying a hint of admiration: "Ying Yue, your thinking is very farsighted. The establishment of an intelligence organization can indeed provide powerful support for the reconstruction of the Senju Clan."
He looked at Ying Yue with deep eyes: "However, to establish such an organization, one must have sufficient strength and resources. Are you confident you can do this?"
Ying Yue nodded firmly: "Elder, I am confident. Moreover, I am not acting alone. In addition to the Senju Clan, I also plan to secure the support of the Uchiha Clan. If the power of the two great clans, Senju and Uchiha, can be integrated, it will surely become an incomparably powerful force."
Elder Mufeng revealed a satisfied smile: "Very good, Ying Yue. Since you have considered things so thoroughly, I naturally will not object. I will fully support you and mobilize the power of the Senju Clan to help you establish this intelligence organization."
"Furthermore, I will contact those clansmen who are unwilling to completely dissolve the Senju Clan and have them join your plan. Although these people are scattered throughout the village, as long as there is a common goal, they will surely unite and contribute to the revival of the family."
Hearing Elder Mufeng's support, Ying Yue felt a weight lift from his heart, filled with immense gratitude and relief.
He knew that the strength of the Senju Clan would become an important cornerstone for his intelligence organization, and Elder Mufeng's support had allowed his plan to take a crucial step forward.
"Thank you, Elder Mufeng," Ying Yue said sincerely. "With your support, I believe we will certainly succeed in rebuilding the Senju Clan and let it rise again in the Ninja World."
Elder Mufeng nodded: "Ying Yue, you must remember that the future of the Senju Clan is in your hands. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will support you from behind."
Ying Yue nodded solemnly and bid farewell to Elder Mufeng, his heart even more determined regarding his future plans.
