Shōji is of course very aware of the innermost considerations of his family head and elders.
The biggest reason is definitely that with the Uchiha Clan's current position and situation in Iwagakure, Shōji is the most suitable leader. Fugaku, Sōgen, and Genran naturally cannot be like. Ido can tell that Ōnoki has the intention to train Shōji to become one of the candidates for the next generation of movies. In other words, they don't dare to guess in that direction, but it does not prevent them from seeing that Ōnoki values Shōji very much.
Like most ordinary Iwagakure Ninja, Fugaku, Sōgen and others also believe that the next generation of Iwagakure, Tsuchikage, will most likely be Kitsuchi, the direct son of Ōnoki. Now both father and son value Shōji so much., obviously showing favor and trust, Uchiha Clan has no reason to let go of this opportunity. In the past, at Konoha, he had to always be wary and suspicious of the senior management, but now he finally has the opportunity to get along perfectly harmoniously with the senior management of Iwagakure. Fugaku will definitely not let it go. Of course, this is also a decision made based on the current situation.
Now that the situation has changed, it must be slowed down for a while, and as for Shōji himself, he is not willing to take on all the important responsibilities of the clan so early. One is because of his own reasons, and the other is naturally out of consideration of the overall situation of the clan. Stability is the best choice. If he really wants to change the leader of the clan, he can do it in two or three years.
By that time, I would be eighteen or nineteen years old, and the clan would have completely taken root and stabilized in the village. That would be the best time.
"So Shōji, does Lord Tsuchikage have any instructions regarding the deployment of clan members? Do you need me and Shisui?"
Put aside the matter of changing the clan leader for the time being. When the village needs to go south to attack Sunagakure, all the focus must be tilted towards this side. It is worth mentioning that the current Uchiha Fugaku is not in any department of Iwagakure. Taking up a position is also a clear statement of attitude. They Uchiha Clan will obey the orders and arrangements of the village and let the young people play their part as much as possible. The older generation will stay at home. Therefore, it is difficult for people like Fugaku to obtain a lot of high-level information in the first time.
"This is not necessary. In fact, Lord Third did not intend to let our clan send people to the front line at the beginning. The reason is that our clan has just arrived, so it is best to stabilize it and only let me go to the Yan and Sand front lines as the deputy commander-in-chief. However, I personally still feel that this kind of war will It is best for the tribe to participate as much as possible. It is easy to cultivate tacit understanding and trust on the battlefield. Leaving aside other people, the civilian faction in the village can only do this in this way. Therefore, I took the initiative to send some tribesmen to follow me to the front line, but the number is also limited to a dozen people."
"The patriarch and Shisui do not need to go to the front line."
Shōji shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Well, you are right, Shōji. If our family wants to integrate into the village, the recognition and support of the people at the bottom and ordinary Iwagakure Ninja is indispensable!"
"Well, and if there are only a dozen people, it seems that the scale this time is not that big?"
The two elders Chie and Genran also nodded and said.
"Yes, the main intention of the village is to completely capture Northern Fortress of Sunagakure. Just control the nearby area. After all, the core goal is still 'Lanthanum Metal', and attacking Sunagakure is a secondary goal."
Shōji nodded and said.
"In this case, let the younger generations like Yan and A-Qing go to the front line with you. These young people in our clan also need more training."
After Fugaku thought about it for a moment, he looked up at Shōji and said.
"Yes, I think so too, patriarch."
Shōji leaned forward slightly and said with a smile.
"Among these personnel, it is best to let Kogen or Yashiro or Inaho send one person to be more stable and restrain the little guys. After all, Shōji is the deputy commander-in-chief this time. It can be seen that Lord Tsuchikage attaches great importance to Shōji. Don't let the small things cost you the big!"
Elder Sōgen in the back position continued.
The young people of the Uchiha Clan are somewhat more adventurous in character. Shōji is not a pure combat ninja this time, but a commander who wants to take over the overall situation. Therefore, it is best to add a stable middle-aged tribesman to the list of personnel dispatched by the clan, who can replace Shōji to manage those young tribesmen who have a certain probability of jumping away.
"Kogen-san is currently working in the logistics department. After today's order is conveyed, Kogen-san may not have time. It's better to ask Yashiro-san to follow me!!"
Shōji also nodded, and continued with Elder Sōgen's words.
"Well, it's settled then! Then I'll leave the rest of the matter to you, Shōji!"
Fugaku looked at Shōji with a gentle look and said.
"Yes! Please rest assured." Shōji first bowed in response with a solemn expression, and then raised his head again, "Then, without further ado, I will be rude first, and then I need to make some preparations before departure!"
"Yeah!"
Fugaku nodded slightly.
After Shōji bowed to Fugaku, Sōgen, Genran, and Chie, he got up and left Fugaku's home, heading back to his own place. This time, even if everything went well,, it takes more than a month. If Sunagakure reacts quickly enough and is tough enough, it is not impossible for the war to last three to four months or even half a year. As the deputy commander-in-chief, he will lead the first batch of advance troops to set off in three days. Therefore, Shōji still needs to make more preparations.
The four of them, Fugaku, Sōgen, Chie, and Genran, looked at Shōji's leaving back, their eyes becoming extremely deep at this moment.
"It's an opportunity..."
"But it's not just a test?"
"It's a bit hard to see through..."
After being silent for a long time, the three elders Sōgen, Chie, and Genran each sighed lowly and spoke one after another. Even though Uchiha Clan has joined Iwagakure, they are already stable. It looks like it has come down, but it has only been three months, and many things cannot be 100% certain. At least when it comes to trusting Ōnoki, the three elders still have concerns, mainly because the shadows brought by the previous Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō are too heavy.
It is difficult for them to determine whether this Lord Third Tsuchikage is really the kind of person they can trust. Even though their external performance seems to be no different from Shōji, they also feel that their family has no other choice.
If you don't do this, the clan will face a greater crisis!
