Shōji blew lightly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly.
The same thing, in different environments, when meeting different people, the judgments made will be completely different. At first, Shōji did come to Iwagakure with the same thoughts as Shisui, but after getting along and getting in touch with each other later, Shōji discovered that it was not just Ōnoki, but also Kitsuchi, Ido, Bunya, Akatsuchi, these people all have great goodwill towards their Uchiha Clan. Of course, these latter people must be influenced by Ōnoki, but this also undoubtedly shows that their Uchiha Clan can take a slightly bigger step!
You only need to grasp the most important issue of 'power balance'. Among the remaining issues, if you are too low-key and humble, Ōnoki is not willing to see it. This is Shōji's guess and judgment, and the facts are just as Shōji himself expected, and the previous developments will not be revealed one by one.
The following period, including Shōji's "leading" Jōnin Squad, for more than half a month, can fully explain certain problems!
Of course, the most important point is that the Snow Country strategy, the captured Southern Fortress, and the defeated Sunagakure main force, these are all the benefits that Shōji actually captured for the village. People should not be too high-profile, but if they keep a low profile all the time, it is easy to lose their sense of existence!
They Uchiha Clan are not here to be 'criminals', but to choose a strong alliance with Iwagakure. The scale issue here must be grasped by oneself. Shōji also believes that his own Lord Tsuchikage will give such an 'attitude'!
When Shisui heard Shōji's words, his expression froze slightly, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Maybe I was a little too cautious. After all, that incident has only been less than a year!"
Time passes quickly, but it seems like it was just yesterday.
A year ago, after the Uchiha Clan and Konoha broke up, Shōji brazenly led Uchiha Clan to leave Konoha and join Iwagakure. This incident left a very deep impression on all the Uchiha clan members except those who were still babies!
In particular, Shisui trusted Konoha High Command the most from the beginning, and he firmly believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Third Hokage, would definitely understand them Uchiha Clan and save their Uchiha Clan existences in danger.
The imprint is too deep!
As a result, even after coming to Iwagakure for a full year, Shisui is still deeply touched!
It's not that he doesn't want to believe Ōnoki, but he cares so much that Shisui becomes more sensitive than before!
Although Shōji deep down wants to complain about Shisui's character problems in this aspect, it can still be understood to some extent. If Shisui did not have such a character, there would not be such a tragedy in Original Work.
I can only say that some things are really destined!
It is really difficult for you to judge and look at these things using ordinary remarks and ordinary perspectives.
"Haha, but it is already in the past, Shisui. What we have to look forward to now is the future of our clan. Now the vast majority of the people in the village have accepted the existence of our clan. It is no longer like when we first came to the village a year ago. After the previous two Clan Meeting, I have also I've said it before, I hope our tribe can have more opportunities to step out of the village and let our presence appear in every corner of the village. Recognition and trust are two-way. If we want others to regard us as companions and family members, our tribe must also do this and be upright. Isn't this what we need? Shisui?"
Shōji looked directly at Shisui in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Well, you are right, Shōji. I also agree with this. This is a step that our clan must take to fully integrate into the village. In fact, we have done quite well, right?"
Shisui nodded and said with approval.
"Yes, this is also thanks to the coordination of the clan leaders and elders. Of course, the most important thing is the changes of our clansmen. Now we can really be called Iwagakure's Uchiha Clan!"
Thinking of the harmonious exchanges between his family, ordinary Iwagakure Ninja, and even ordinary people that Shōji himself has seen on various streets in the village in the past three or four months, a faint smile appeared in the corner of Shōji's eyes.
"Yeah!"
In other aspects, there may be different opinions, big or small, but only on this point, Shōji, Shisui and even Fugaku, Sōgen, Genran, Chie, as well as Yashiro, Kogen, all the hardcore clan members all have the same view. The most important thing is because they have seen results. Some people above them trust it, some people among them like it, and some people below them respect it!
After all, if everyone in Konohagakure could achieve such a status, it would be impossible for the Uchiha Clan to make decisions such as coup d'état or secession.
A slap can never make a difference!
On the bright side.
The bad side is good.
Anyway, it all depends on the mutual wishes of both parties.
In the past year, the Uchiha clan's regular clan meetings have been held basically once a month to summarize the performance of each clan in different positions, as well as their relationship with other Iwa ninjas and people in the village.
Key reminders of some issues.
Also, let me explain some key points.
Shōji and Shisui are naturally the big ones, but the following Yashiro, Kogen, Tekka, and The movements of Inaho, as well as the younger Qing and Yan Cheng tribesmen, are also very important, because they are the Uchiha tribesmen that ordinary Iwagakure Ninja and the public can come into contact with!
The images of these tribesmen often represent the most basic impression of them Uchiha Clan in the village!
In addition, children who are only seven or eight years old, including Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi in the Ninja Academy, also mingle with other students in the school. These Uchiha Clan children are also carefully selected children with calm or gentle personalities.
Itachi and Quan are the respective representatives of men and women.
They are also gentle and calm types.
Everything that has unfolded this year has been developed in accordance with the Uchiha Clan's most optimistic plan. Next, it is time for their Uchiha Clan to be fully integrated into the village. Not only are they planning to add some of the remaining clan members to the village's responsibilities, especially the school-age children, they will also be arranged to study in the Ninja Academy almost in the next year's school year!
This is also a matter of attitude!
Of course, the specific allocation must still depend on Ōnoki.
What they Uchiha Clan want is to use such actions to show their attitude!
