Chapter 354: Behind the Scenes


Truly not simple!

Sarutobi looked at Itachi with a complicated expression. At such a young age, he already had such political skills, as well as such a meticulous and interlocking plan.

He couldn't help but realize that he had actually underestimated this super genius of the Uchiha Clan!

Should he refuse?

There was no chance.

As soon as he made a compromise on this matter, when Itachi disregarded the consequences and attacked Koharu, he did not give him any chance to refuse.

Unless he went back on his word and chose to fight Uchiha to the death.

Otherwise, Homura and Koharu would be abandoned!

Compared to the benefits and strength that Uchiha's entire clan had brought to Konoha, what other practical benefits could his two old friends bring to the village other than having their brains constantly twitching and dragging him down?

Anyone with a bit of rationality would know what to choose.

Moreover, although Itachi's suggestion seemed to be a bit out of line, it just happened to stop right in front of the bottom line in his heart.

If Itachi wanted to grasp all the candidates of the two high-level advisers in his hands, then Sarutobi would definitely not accept it.

However, as long as there was a place, it would be different. Regardless of whether it was to win over or make up for it, was not too excessive.

This was because Sarutobi could easily stuff the people he liked in to achieve the effect of checks and balances, and even marginalize Fugaku.

But no matter what, at least the goal of Uchiha Clan wanting to protect themselves was definitely achieved.

Even if it was marginalized, Fugaku also had the right to participate in Konoha's decision, and he could immediately know the attitude of the village towards Uchiha Clan.

This was just like a nail that had been exposed. If he wanted to play some dirty tricks again, it would be impossible for him to play some dirty tricks behind the scenes.

"If you want to become Konoha's high-level consultant, you must first give up your identity as a ninja."The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Sarutobi had sighed countless times today. Although Itachi was very tactful and the village had not paid any practical compensation, a high-level consultant was enough to give him a headache.

Right now, he only hoped that the Uchiha Clan, who had received proper treatment, could be more honest and not let others say that he had led a wolf into the house...

Walking out of the Hokage Building, Itachi and Fugaku still looked like they were in a trance, as if they had not woken up from their sweet dreams.

"That's it?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "If there are no accidents, it should be a deal. The village doesn't want to fight to the death with us, and we don't want to get to this point, so the result is already the best."

"When you become a high-level consultant, our clan will completely get rid of the previous predicament, and we will no longer be worried about being targeted and suppressed."

Fugaku sighed, "Yes, relying on ourself is better than relying on people. When Minato became the Hokage, I thought our clan would be valued, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Instead, we fell into the mud and tasted the cold eyes of outsiders."

"Previously, you said that no one in our clan knows the rules of political games. You are right."

Itachi said with a smile as he walked, "Actually, I didn't say that. It was Aoba who said it. He also said that our clan loves to be stubborn. We have a one-track mind and don't know how to be flexible."

A few days ago, Fugaku, who was preparing to plot a rebellion, looked a little embarrassed. "No matter what, we really have to thank him for this matter. After this matter is over, you can find an opportunity to invite him to our home as a guest. You have known each other for so long, and it is indeed a little rude. If he has any requests that our Uchiha Clan can fulfill, we can also agree to it. As for the small conflict in the past, let it pass."

"Yes, father."

"I almost forgot that you are the clan leader now. This kind of thing naturally does not need me to remind you. You can take the responsibility." After Fugaku suddenly realized his identity, he looked at Itachi with a look of gratification, pride, and a trace of melancholy that was difficult to erase.

Although everyone hoped that their son would become a dragon, when they knew that their son really surpassed them, as a father, they would definitely be hypocritical and entangled. This was also human nature.

When Itachi and Fugaku went back and told all the clan members about the promise of the Hokage, the expression of each clan member was not excitement, but confusion.

Because they were all mentally prepared to rebel, they did not believe that the village would suddenly treat them so well!

There were even people who suspected that this was the Hokage's delaying tactic. In order to numb them, he must have secretly prepared to wipe them out.

In this regard, Itachi and Fugaku could only smile bitterly.

The dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated in the hearts of the clan members was obviously not something that could be resolved with just a few words.

However, when the promises that the Hokage gave them were fulfilled one by one, they would naturally change.
