Rich experience, keen perception, good at perceiving people's hearts, and personal strength have also reached the Jōnin level. The combination of these comprehensive qualities allows Ido to become an ordinary Commoner Ninja can gain the trust of Ōnoki and be directly promoted to the position of deputy squad leader of Jōnin Squad. It can even be said that most matters in Jōnin Squad are decided by Ido.
This is not to say that Kitsuchi is being ignored, but in many cases, in many aspects, Kitsuchi's experience is not as rich as that of Ido. It is often necessary to follow Ido's suggestions for everything. This is also one of the reasons why Ōnoki was originally arranged in this way., and as such a confidant, Ido can be said to have a very good understanding of the character, thinking, and opinions of his own Lord Tsuchikage. Let's put it this way, there is no one like Iwagakure who understands Ōnoki better than Ido.
Including Kitsuchi, who is his son, and Four-Tails Jinchuriki Rōshi, who was once his closest comrade-in-arms, are not as good as him (after all, they both often quarreled due to different ideas). Therefore, in many things, Ōnoki only needs to start, and Ido can do it. You can guess the deep meaning inside, including the configuration of Snow Country's strategic plan this time. Ido immediately understood Ōnoki's thoughts on why he arranged it like this. And the most important thing is Ōnoki's other layer of thoughts. Ido also saw through it.
But he didn't say it out loud.
That is Ido guessing that this Lord Tsuchikage of his own may have the idea of listing the talented boy 'Uchiha Shōji' as a 'Tsuchikage candidate', yes, Ido is so bold in making speculations that most people cannot believe. This is not a whim, but a judgment based on analysis from all aspects, especially the familiarity with Ōnoki's character.
Of course, Ido himself does not want to see Shōji become Tsuchikage of Iwagakure. It has nothing to do with personal preference. He also admits that Shōji is excellent, but just from the overall perspective, Ido really feels that Kitsuchi is the most suitable candidate for its own Lord Tsuchikage.
However, Ido will not say these words to anyone. Even if Ōnoki finally recognizes Shōji as his successor, as Tsuchikage's confidant, he will 100% obey this order. This is Ido's style.
"Is that so? It seems that I still haven't practiced enough. I can't even see through the meaning of Father!"
Of course, Kitsuchi didn't know that Ido in front of him was already having many thoughts in his mind. Just after being awakened by Ido, all these things could be connected together. To put it bluntly, Kitsuchi's IQ and EQ are definitely not low, but he is still limited by the influence of his own personality. On some issues, it is difficult to see thoroughly at the first time.
"This time I really want to thank Ido-san, otherwise I might have made a wrong judgment."
Kitsuchi bowed slightly to Ido and thanked him with a serious expression.
"No, I just have a few more years of experience than Kitsuchi, and this in itself is my duty."
Ido also bowed slightly and returned the greeting.
"In this case, I also know what to do next. I will leave the rest to Ido-san. Mr. Shōji will notify him to attend the meeting tomorrow afternoon. He still needs to be contacted for some issues. This is also his responsibility as the deputy squad leader!"
"Yes!"
As long as the intention is clear, the subsequent execution is a matter of time. Many times, whether it is a superior or a subordinate, the most difficult thing is often the tone that needs to be set at the beginning. Once this can be determined, no matter how difficult the process is, it can be achieved in the end.
It was decided here, and Ōnoki also learned about it immediately. Looking at the general plan reported by Jōnin Squad, Ōnoki directly agreed with a stroke of his pen and waited for the specific implementation. Some places still need to be reported to his own Daimyo of the Land of Earth Lord E, this is a transaction involving a national level. Although Ninja Village has great autonomy, it still needs to pay attention to some procedural issues and cannot leave anyone with an excuse. This is especially true for a movie like Ōnoki that pays great attention to rules and reputation.
Shōji, who had been resting at home for two full days, was also guessing that he should go to work. Kitsuchi also sent someone directly to convey the corresponding order, asking Shōji to attend Jōnin Squad's regular meeting on time the next morning.
'It seems that the efficiency is pretty good. The next step is to see the specific implementation process of the plan, but that is a matter for the negotiator to consider. If possible, it is best not to participate in anything! '
After Shōji waved his hand to let Chunin, who came to convey the order, leave, he was thinking secretly in his heart.
Now Uchiha Clan's situation in Iwagakure is slowly getting better according to the established pace. In this first step, Shōji is not willing to make any mistakes. The biggest reason why Uchiha Clan cannot stay in Konoha is because he was Everyone is isolated. This is not what happened later, but the root of the problem that was planted as early as the beginning of the village. It is clear that Hashirama Senju sincerely wanted Uchiha Madara to become First Hokage, but why did Hashirama Senju become Hokage in the end?
It's very simple. The other Ninja Clan who joined Konohagakure all have varying degrees of prejudice against the Uchiha Clan and Uchiha Madara. Ninja Clans are almost all friendly to the Senju Clan, including Hyuga Clan. No one is willing to stand on the side of the Uchiha Clan.
This was the case at the beginning, but friction and contradictions continued later. During the Second Hokage period, a large-scale rebellion broke out in the Uchiha Clan. How could Uchiha Clan have a foothold in Konohagakure?
Unless a person is completely invisible, if he wants to survive in the world, he must have a foothold of his own, which is the so-called "companion". Human beings have always been group creatures!
The survival of a clan cannot escape this.
Therefore, during the initial period of joining Iwagakure, the first impression Uchiha Clan gives to the outside world is the most important. This will create a 'fixed impression' of the Uchiha Clan in the following years or even decades!
Shōji has never felt that Uchiha Clan's "arrogance" is a big problem, but you must not let others think that you are dangerous. It is terrifying that Orochimaru can cultivate so many trusted subordinates. There is no reason that Uchiha Clan can't do it!
Choice and environment are the two most important conditions!
The latter is already achieved under the careful care of Ōnoki, while the former depends on the Uchiha Clan's own efforts!
'Slowly, slowly it penetrates into this village. When everything is integrated together, it is the moment when our family is truly reborn! '
Shōji took a deep breath, looked at the sunset that was gradually setting in the west, with the bright halo reflected in his pupils, and whispered deep in his heart.
