Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

"No, you are wrong."

"The Uchiha have been high and mighty for too long and have no idea how other ninja clans handle things."

"Sometimes right and wrong are actually irrelevant to us ninjas."

"Most importantly, it's about reputation!"

"Since our ninja clan is going to pledge allegiance to a certain person or force, whether that force or person is good or bad is actually not important at all."

"What we ninja clans want is actually very simple."

"That is, survival!"

"Actually, unless you belong to a powerful ninja clan, survival is very difficult."

"Choosing the wrong side could mean death and the extermination of your clan. Even if you choose the right side, you might still be abandoned by those in power for some reason."

"Therefore, in this situation, when choosing a side, the small ninja clan often values ​​the credibility of the superior the most."

"Since Shisui chose to join Hiruzen Sarutobi, and even fought desperately against King, even at the cost of some lives."

"So regardless of whether Shisui is a spy or not, Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot abandon Shisui."

"Otherwise, the Hokage's credibility will be ruined."

"Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi claims that Shisui's defection was fake, we small ninja clans will still give up on joining the Hokage."

"The reasoning is very simple!"

"In a real power struggle, it is too difficult to judge right and wrong, truth and falsehood."

"We need to consider what will happen if we join the Hokage and become useless to him..."

"Could Hiruzen Sarutobi also fabricate some false evidence, then claim we're spies, and just abandon us like that?"

"So I think there's not much of a problem with Jin-kun's method!"

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi knew it was fake, he would have to accept it even if he didn't want to.

"Otherwise, apart from the elders and other core members of the Hokage's faction, other ninja clans would not dare to or be able to get close to the Hokage's faction."

"Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio (pig, deer, and butterflies) are included, because nobody can afford to gamble!"

"After all, for the ninja clan, a wrong gamble means utter annihilation of both themselves and their clan!"

"Unless they can be trusted 100%, the ninja clan will never pledge allegiance!"

"Ninety-nine percent is still not enough!"

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

As Aburame Shiki spoke, both Fugaku and Shisui were shocked.

Yes.

They never imagined that small and medium-sized ninja clans like the Aburame would think about problems in this way.

Even 99% trust is not enough to make them personally intervene.

This……

They all fell silent.

Because this was so different from what they had imagined.

No wonder.

Over the years, no other clan has dared to make contact with the Uchiha.

Only after Uchiha Jin began to gain strength and successfully repelled several attacks from the Hokage faction, even resorting to the trump card of amending the law, did the others not even bother to come and join him, let alone make any tentative contact.

Only the Aburame clan.

The Aburame clan was willing to make contact because Danzo had exploited them too ruthlessly, even brainwashing a clan genius like Aburame Ryoma, the next head of the clan, and forcibly inserting his ideas into the Root Clan.

Even survival has become difficult for the Aburame clan.

Only after the Uchiha achieved a great victory and Hiruzen Sarutobi showed signs of weakness did he take a desperate gamble and join the Uchiha.

Otherwise, one can imagine.

Even if the Uchiha clan holds the upper hand for a long time, the Aburame clan probably won't come knocking on their door!

And now that Inuzuka is willing to make contact with the Uchiha, it is indeed thanks to Aburame Shiki.

Only by understanding the current living conditions of small and medium-sized ninja clans can he grasp what everyone truly cares about. Otherwise, even if the Uchiha clan seems strong now, will everyone still want to join the Uchiha clan?

Bullshit!

Absolutely impossible!

Because the Uchiha clan is notoriously unreliable, it's common knowledge among young and old in Konoha.

In other words, the emergence of Uchiha Jin has slightly changed the Uchiha's situation.

Otherwise, hehe.

Fugaku: “…”

Shisui: “…”

The two looked at each other and then both became withdrawn.

obviously.

They also truly realized why the Uchiha clan suffered such a terrible fate.

In particular, Fugaku.

Thinking back to when Shiki Aburame first came to his door, he didn't even dare to make any promises...

He wanted to slap himself!

I've really failed miserably as the clan leader.

I used to think that the Uchiha clan was in a difficult situation in Konoha, and I tried countless times to improve relations with other ninja clans.

But, actually.

However, they seem to have never really figured out what the other ninja clans care about, or what their true thoughts are.

　5.6 In the end, one can only lament that the Uchiha clan has such a terrible reputation.

It's numb and tingling.

Now he finally understood that whether the Uchiha clan had a bad reputation or not was something other ninja clans didn't even care about.

Good heavens!

Having figured out the truth, Fugaku even felt like giving up.

“Hmm, very good.” Uchiha Jin said quietly, “What the Aburame clan leader said is exactly what I wanted to say.”

"The fundamental problem of the Uchiha clan lies in their ideology."

"It's been fifty years since the ninja village era began, but the Uchiha still cling to the ideas of the Warring States period."

"Friends, times have changed!"

"Now that the Aburame clan has already explained it for me, I won't say anything more."

"Shisui, you have to work harder."

"You're the star of this big show!"

Chapter 192 Itachi's frowning face, he's almost driven crazy!

Stopping the water flow is a real headache.

He felt immense pressure because, given the choice, he truly didn't want to do something so unethical.

He's too thin-skinned!

However, there was nothing that could be done.

No one else could have done this except him.

"Okay, I see."

"I'm going back to get some sleep first, and I'll start taking action tomorrow."

Uchiha Jin nodded.

He could also tell that Shisui must have risked his life to get back.

therefore.

Seeing that the conversation had reached a point where it was almost over, they simply announced the end of the meeting.

Followed by.

Everyone goes back to their own homes, each looking for his own mother.
