Seeing Uchiha Yato's smug tone, coupled with his slightly sleazy expression, Jiraiya's first instinct was to refuse him immediately.
However, deep down, Jiraiya had to admit that he truly did not have many ideas or much experience in this area.
After all, everyone was a companion from Konoha. Even though there had been some unpleasantness between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha's higher-ups,
Jiraiya had always believed that as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi honored his previous promise and allowed Tsunade to smoothly inherit the position of Hokage,
then the Uchiha Clan would definitely integrate better into Konoha, rather than remaining somewhat isolated as they were now.
Moreover, Jiraiya knew very well that the current head of the Uchiha Clan was no longer as easy to fool as before.
Therefore, the best course of action right now was to win over as many Uchiha Clan geniuses as possible and make them truly identify with Konoha. Only then could the problem be resolved at its root.
That was Jiraiya's plan and his way of thinking.
"I can accept it, as long as it isn't too excessive."
"But first, I need to hear your idea and the details of your plan."
Jiraiya was still on guard. No matter how much he trusted a teammate, he had to figure out the angle first.
Uchiha Yato said nothing at this point and merely smiled.
What a joke. If he did not seize the initiative now and waited until after revealing the plan to negotiate control with Jiraiya, would that not make him an idiot?
After all, Uchiha Yato had spent years dealing with Jiraiya. Though they were not from the same world, he understood Jiraiya's temperament inside and out.
Otherwise, anyone unfamiliar with Jiraiya would surely be astonished upon seeing this rebellious side of him.
