"Yeah!"
Looking at such a reliable son.
Fugaku also feels very gratified deep down in his heart. It is precisely because of these young generations that they can grow up that they, Uchiha Clan, can always stand at the top of Shinobi World. Itachi is his eldest son, and he is the genius of the family that he recognizes.
He believed that one day, Itachi would be able to grow to the same height as Shōji and Shisui.
"In just a few days, as long as the news from Shōji comes, even if there will be many problems of this or that, our family can at least settle down for the time being and no longer need to be so nervous and tired."
However, his son is still young, only 7 years old, and Fugaku does not want him to bear too much pressure too early that is not appropriate for his age.
Basic training is necessary, but it is foolish to encourage others to do better.
"Will Iwagakure definitely accept us? Father? Do we also have to choose Iwagakure?"
After Fugaku's words fell, Itachi raised his little head, looked at his father in front of him, and asked softly, about the current situation and future choices of the clan, it can be said that after the implementation of the breakaway plan began.
It is to gradually announce the subsequent arrangements and intentions to the clan. You cannot and cannot hide it from these clansmen. They have the right and need to know these things. Although it will cause internal disturbances to a certain extent, not telling them will more easily cause chaos in the clan and make the clansmen feel confused and uneasy about their future.
Especially when he led his tribe to Land of Grass.
When Shōji, Yashiro, and Kogen set off for Land of Earth.
Almost everyone in the clan clearly knows that their Uchiha Clan's next purpose is nothing more than two. One is to go north to enter Land of Earth and join Iwagakure; the other is to bypass Land of Rivers and go south to small countries such as Spring Country and Tea Country to re-establish their own clan's homeland.
It can be said that among these two options, some people agree with the first, some agree with the second, and some do not want to choose either. Of course, these last people are generally the earliest and most stubborn people in the clan who want to initiate a coup. Even now, they still feel that leaving Konoha is a cowardly act and a shame to the clan.
Such differences will appear when any Ninja Clan encounters a similar situation. The only difference is that Uchiha Clan will be more stubborn. If it weren't for the common determination of Fugaku, Shōji, and the previous Eight Great Elders, you really can't say that the proportion of clan members who want to initiate a coup is as high as one-third of the clan!
That is to say, the top leaders of the clan have reached a joint resolution to suppress the anger. Some clan members will lose their minds because of anger. This is not the case for Shōji, Fugaku and others. It is not that the coup cannot succeed 100%, but when the probability is too low, the price to be paid is the destruction of the clan. This is a result that Shōji, Fugaku and others cannot accept.
Not to mention that there is such an unstable factor as Shisui. If the clan breaks away from Konoha, Shōji is still quite confident that Shisui will be on its side. If you want to start a coup, the clan will be tough on Konoha.
What choice will Shisui make.
But it's really hard to say.
This depends on the reference.
These different opinions, these chaotic and disorderly emotions are mixed together to form the complex internal atmosphere of the Uchiha Clan today, and Itachi is no exception. As a monster in the clan, Itachi has been able to think independently since he was a child. Facing the current situation of the clan, Itachi also has his own opinions and understanding.
But it is also limited by experience and cognitive level.
He also has his own confusion.
"Although it is not 100% certain, it is also a high-probability event. As for our clan's choice, Itachi, this is the best way we can find at this stage. Regardless of other considerations, just from the perspective of protecting ordinary clan members, we must choose one of Five Great Shinobi Villages. The reason is because of our eyes!"
Fugaku directly turned on his own Sharingan. When the three slowly rotating black Tomoe came into Itachi's eyes, along with those profound words, Itachi's pupils also shrank slightly.
Smart people don't need to say too much. One sentence can reveal the core of the problem.
Almost instantly.
Itachi understood the true meaning of his father's words.
It's not that I don't want to choose, it's that I don't have a choice.
They Uchiha Clan must prioritize what is most important. Otherwise, why do many members of the Mingming clan want to launch a coup in anger to retaliate against Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō and others, but in the end they chose to agree with Shōji's ideas and plans and break away from Konoha?
It's not because no matter how stubborn Uchiha Clan is, no matter how easy it is to get angry, they are still human beings after all. As long as they are human beings, they cannot avoid the seven emotions and six desires. Anger is just one of them. Many times, the power and will that human beings want to explode to protect their most precious existence is the most determined!
This is why the most paranoid clan members bite their lips tightly and suppress their anger.
Just because of what Shōji said, "This is the best choice to protect our loved ones and continue the existence of our clan"!
The huge anger is not as important as the safety of family members and the continuation of the clan.
And this does not mean giving up hatred, it just means that priority should be given to protecting those who are still alive, and hatred can be put aside for the future.
This is also the reason why they finally chose Iwagakure.
He has the confidence and strength to protect the safety of ordinary tribesmen, and he also has the potential to let Uchiha Clan carry out his revenge plan in the future!
It is precisely because of these two points that Uchiha Clan, who has obviously experienced the troubles of Konoha for decades, did not choose a freer independent way, but joined Iwagakure!
Itachi is a smart person.
Fugaku doesn't need to say much more.
As long as he clicks on the most crucial sentence, he can connect it by himself.
At that moment, he nodded silently.
"Hmm..."
He replied in a low voice.
After all, Itachi during this period was still affected by some of the so-called 'Will of Fire'.
Of course it's not as twisted and crazy as in Original Work.
But it can be compared to the current Shisui.
As smart as he is, he can naturally think of certain "given" scenarios in the future, but this is also a destined result. When Shimura Danzō once again took action brazenly, not giving Uchiha Clan a chance to leave peacefully, resulting in more than two hundred tribesmen dying on the way to evacuate.
The last theoretical road to reconciliation between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha has been completely blocked.
This is a family blood feud!
It is impossible for anyone to resolve it!
