Fugaku was startled at first.
Then, as if he remembered something again, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Are you talking about those two adults?"
"That's right, I'm talking about Lord Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade. It can be said that among today's Konoha, these two are the most qualified and capable to serve as Fifth Hokage, no one else can compare with him, and I also believe that Lord Third should be willing to let Lady Tsunade or Lord Jiraiya be Fifth Hokage!"
Shōji nodded and said.
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed a person with a gentle personality, there is no reason why he should not want his direct disciple to be his successor.
It's all coherent.
In Original Work, Tsunade finally becomes Fifth Hokage. What Shōji has to do is to advance this process. Although Tsunade and Jiraiya more or less have their own knots or personality problems and are unwilling to return to the village to take up the position of Hokage.
But for the continuation of his family.
I can't say that I have to work harder in this area, no matter Tsunade or Jiraiya, anyway, I must let one of these two people return to the village to serve as Fifth Hokage. Only in this way can they Uchiha Clan really usher in the breaking point.
Moreover, the next step for me is to serve as Anbu directly under Hokage. I will definitely have plenty of opportunities and time to leave the village to perform tasks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will also have a certain amount of time and probability to find these two people.
Especially Tsunade.
Jiraiya can also run around the world.
Tsunade who likes gambling will basically not leave the territory of Land of Fire.
Because only Land of Fire has the capital and environment to develop the gambling industry.
If you put some effort into it, you may not be able to find it. Even if your persuasion fails in the end, the worst thing you can do is to endure it for a few more years.
Shōji's requirements are not high, as long as the clan can maintain the current situation. Therefore, based on this point, it is particularly important to clear the internal atmosphere.
When necessary.
It may be necessary to take some unconventional measures.
"I see what you mean."
Having said this, Fugaku fully understood what Shōji meant. Although he still felt that there was a long road ahead, he could at least see hope. In Fugaku's view, everything Shōji said had a certain reasonable basis, including the selection of Fifth Hokage.
Indeed, there is no more suitable person than Jiraiya and Tsunade.
As these two people became famous during the Second Shinobi World War period.
Fugaku also understands their characters very well. If Konoha is in charge of one of them in the future, Uchiha Clan does not need to worry about the worst situation.
Until then.
You can go back to the same path towards Fourth Hokage as before.
'Do I need to endure it for a few more years? Although it is difficult, we really need to do it! '
Look at Shōji's extremely determined expression.
Fugaku The hands placed underneath were clenched slightly, and then slowly released. There was also a ray of determination in the depths of the dark eyes.
"Therefore, we must stabilize ourselves, and we can no longer make excuses for others, Mr. Patriarch!"
Shōji said very sincerely.
After all, personal power is limited.
The future Shōji may be able to, but the current Shōji cannot reverse the entire Uchiha Clan's predicament by himself. Therefore, he needs helpers, no matter what he does. Well, as the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Either today or in the next day, Shōji must talk to Fugaku in the near future.
Without the recognition and assistance of this clan leader, it is not impossible for him to succeed, but it will undoubtedly be more difficult. As for replacing Fugaku as the leader of the clan, it is not that it is impossible, but it is too troublesome and too easy to go wrong. Not only does he need to show the strength to convince the clan, but he also needs to obtain the support of at least two-thirds of Eight Great Elders, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may cause unpredictable consequences.
Rather than that, it is better to be honest with Fugaku.
As for the so-called corresponding risks, Shōji has already made corresponding psychological preparations. Anyway, when the family has reached the current situation, it is impossible for there to be a worse outcome.
"Well, I understand, don't worry, Shōji!"
Fugaku nodded heavily and responded.
"Then, I will be rude today!"
Seeing that Fugaku had completely understood what he meant, Shōji also stood up directly, bowed slightly and wanted to leave directly.
Everything that needs to be said has been said.
As for whether the conversation between him and the patriarch needs to be kept confidential, Shōji believes that Uchiha Fugaku should be able to clearly grasp the importance of the issues and the scale of the issues, Fugaku will definitely be able to grasp them in place. If the head of the clan is so unreliable, then Shōji really has nothing to say.
There are also some words that Shōji has not said, such as how to get along with Konoha High Command such as Third, but it is expected that Fugaku himself will understand.
They, especially Shōji, are almost walking on the tip of a knife. If they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss.
And it was just when Shōji walked to the door and was about to leave.
"Shōji, Shisui, do you know anything about that side?"
Fugaku The words suddenly sounded again.
Let Shōji pause for a moment.
Shōji, who was standing sideways, smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't mean that I know anything. It can only be said that I can guess some. Of course, I personally believe that Shisui and I have the same goal."
Finish this sentence.
Shōji just opened the door, strode out of Fugaku's study, and walked towards the outside.
'Same goal? That is indeed the best result. '
Fugaku looked at the direction Shōji left, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought silently in his heart.
There seemed to be a complex color faintly revealed in the pupils.
Shōji, who has already left, naturally does not know the continuously changing expressions of his family elders. After continuously talking to two key figures, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Fugaku, although it is still unclear whether this will be beneficial or detrimental to future development, at least it is indeed the most solid step.
Don't be afraid of failure in everything.
I'm just afraid of being stuck in my ways.
Such is the case with the Uchiha Clan.
Shōji doesn't want to fall into the habitual diseases of the family. Risks and benefits are often taken into consideration. At least from Shōji's perspective, this is a step that must be implemented in his plan!
'As for what will happen next, it depends on each person's methods and choices. '
Shōji stepped outside the door, turned around and took another deep look at Fugaku's house, thinking to himself.
