Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

At this moment, Yashiro spoke with a very grim expression.

"Clan leader, how come even you agree with Ryosuke's idea?"

"This decision was clearly a huge mistake."

"Even if they are brother clans, after so many generations, their relationship has long since deteriorated. I believe that the Uchiha and Senju clans are more of a rivalry."

"The Uchiha clan has been suppressed by the Senju clan for so long, and now they finally have the opportunity to suppress the Senju clan."

How can we give up?

"They already have two Hokage, and now they'll have three soon, while our Uchiha clan doesn't have a single Hokage yet."

"Ryosuke's actions will dishearten his clansmen."

He was indeed very aggrieved, so he simply revealed it to others.

Fugaku, however, looked completely relaxed and at ease.

"Yachika, stop complaining. Although Ryosuke's actions surprised me, it's true that the Senju clan has produced three Hokage, and they seem to have completely suppressed our Uchiha clan."

"But this may not be a bad thing, it could even be a good thing."

Yatsushiro was very puzzled and confused.

I don't quite understand what the Fugaku clan chief is saying.

How can this be a good thing?

This should have been a golden opportunity for the Uchiha clan to claim the title of Fifth Hokage and rise to the top of Konoha.

But now that the Fifth Hokage is gone, the Uchiha clan still controls the guard force, and even the power of the guard force has been divided up, making them even less powerful than before. Shouldn't we be angry about this?

He asked, somewhat angrily.

"What is Chief Fugaku thinking? Why does he say this is a good thing?"

Has the other party blindly trusted Uchiha Ryosuke to this extent?

Ryosuke is great in every way, but I really don't think this decision is a good one.

Fugaku, however, said with a smile.

"Yashiro, you still haven't seen through Ryosuke's good intentions."

"Losing the Hokage position is indeed a great pity for our Uchiha clan, and our long-held family wish has not been fulfilled."

"But if Ryosuke can conquer Tsunade, then won't Tsunade be considered a member of our Uchiha clan from now on?"

"Then Uchiha Ryosuke is naturally the Hokage's man."

"With Ryosuke's strength, he will definitely be able to control Tsunade."

"So, although the Uchiha clan did not run for the Fifth Hokage election, they have actually been elected in advance."

Upon hearing this, Yatsushiro's sorrowful expression began to change, and he gradually felt happy.

Chief Fugaku is right. Since Tsunade became Ryosuke's woman, she is naturally considered a member of their Uchiha clan.

His dissatisfaction vanished completely, and he was even a little happy.

"I never expected Ryosuke to have such a deeper meaning."

Fugaku looked at Yashiro and grinned as well.

"More importantly, Tsunade, as the sole heir of the Senju clan, has now become Ryosuke's woman. Doesn't that mean the Uchiha clan has already annexed the Senju clan?"

"The Senju clan, our former formidable enemy, will likely come under the command of our Uchiha clan in the future. This is a historic moment of victory for our clan."

"It's far more valuable than the Uchiha clan producing a Hokage."

"Eighth Elder, do you still feel aggrieved?"

Yatsushiro's eyes widened in disbelief; it seemed that what Fugaku had said was indeed true.

The Uchiha clan's annexation of the Senju clan would be a great victory for the Uchiha clan.

Although the Senju clan has declined somewhat, its reputation is still quite prestigious.

Moreover, this represents the struggle between the Uchiha and Senju clans, in which the Uchiha clan ultimately emerged victorious.

His mood instantly improved, and he quickly said...

No, no.

I feel completely relieved.

Fugaku said with a serious expression.

"So we should trust Ryosuke's decisions; every step he takes has a profound meaning."

"He is the chosen one who will lead the family to glory."

Yatsushiro also sighed.

Looking back on the family's development over the past few months, there would be no family as it is today without Ryosuke.

Ryosuke, however, can be called the chosen one of the family.

Without him, he would probably have been killed by Danzo and the Hokage, and might even have been falsely accused of betraying the village.

He decided that he would no longer doubt Ryosuke's plans.

Seeing Yashiro's current state, Fugaku figured that Yashiro would likely become completely obedient to Ryosuke from now on.

And that's exactly what he did. He didn't have to think, making him arguably the most relaxed patriarch in the family's history.

Of course, some follow-up matters also need to be arranged.

"Yashiro, remember to appease those radical clansmen and don't let this news leak out."

"understood."

Yashiro responded.

Although they knew why Ryosuke had asked his family to do this, his family members did not.

Although most people greatly admire Uchiha Ryosuke, there are still some troublemakers who need to be appeased, though the reasons for this cannot be told to them.

Just let them know that Ryosuke's actions actually make perfect sense.

Chapter 216 Integrating into the Village

Two days later, the patriarchal meeting was held as scheduled.

Ryosuke naturally did not participate this time, since he had already given the Hokage position to Tsunade.

He had no further purpose, so naturally he didn't need to come.

Fugaku, however, participated as a member of the Uchiha clan.

Of course, he also wanted to see how many clans present would support the Uchiha clan. (To rise to power.)

This shows whether the Uchiha clan has gained the trust of the village.

The most crucial thing is whether or not one has integrated into the village.

Soon, the clan leaders arrived at the meeting room one after another.

Tsunade, of course, brought Shizune with her.

Nara Shikaku and the clan heads who supported Tsunade becoming the Fifth Hokage were both very happy.

This gave the Uchiha clan a competitor. It wasn't that they thought the Uchiha clan was bad, but rather that they felt the clan was unsuitable for a leadership position.

Nara Shikaku observed more closely and sensed that Tsunade was different from yesterday.

Yesterday, I described Lady Tsunade as a withered woman, but today she seems like a woman in full bloom, clearly nourished, with her skin glowing white and rosy.

That's a bit strange.

How could there be such a big change?

Logically, such a change should only occur when someone receives a man's favor, but it's clear that no man has yet been able to conquer Tsunade.

Soon, all the clan leaders arrived at the meeting room.

However, most of the clan leaders noticed that the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ryosuke, was not attending such an important meeting.

Does he not intend to run for the Fifth Hokage?

Is it possible that they want Uchiha Fugaku, who is present at the event, to run for office?

That's plausible.

Fugaku, however, remained calm and unconcerned about their reactions.

I will naturally not run for office this time.

He and the eighth generation have already appeased the clansmen, and the clansmen will not have any dissatisfaction.

Nara Shikaku, who held the main position, was also somewhat puzzled.

But now that everyone is here, it's time to begin.

Today's meeting was naturally chaired by him. Previously, Uchiha Ryosuke had entrusted him with the temporary management of important village affairs, and he was also in charge of the clan head meeting to select the Fifth Hokage.

"Everyone is here, so today's clan chief meeting will officially begin. I'm sure you all know the purpose of this meeting: to select the Fifth Hokage to lead the village."
