Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 616 Clan Politics
The peace faction, the neutral faction, the main war faction...

Although few people in the Uchiha clan are willing to directly admit which faction they belong to, most people are also ignorant of faction disputes.

However, from the words in daily life and the choices at critical moments, it is still possible to roughly analyze the person's political orientation, and then determine the power and position he belongs to.

Fuyue, as the original Uchiha patriarch, the current Uchiha patriarch, because he was influenced by his father Uchiha Hayato since he was a child, he is well versed in the way of rule.

Not only has he been committed to maintaining the balance among the various Uchiha factions for a long time, but sometimes he will selectively support the corresponding factions due to Konoha's high-level decisions, in order to take the initiative in negotiating with the village, and for Uchiha The Bo family seeks more political interests.

Whether it is the main peace faction or the main war faction, they are essentially just tools to guide public opinion and a medium to manipulate the emotions and behaviors of the tribe. Whichever faction prevails means that the external attitude of the Uchiha clan will generally show Which faction behavior style.

Being treated unfairly by the village, when dealing with certain incidents that are obviously aimed at Uchiha, Fuyue will choose to support the main combat faction to deter the high-level, and when the village does not have much conflict with Uchiha, the main peace faction will show signs of .

From the first generation period to the current fourth generation period, the methods of the Uchiha patriarchs of each generation are similar, and it is basically this set of tricks to turn over and over again, even Fu Yue is no exception.

It is precisely because he understands the essence of factional struggles and understands what its connotation means.

Therefore, no matter how much the main peace faction and the main combat faction fight, even if someone breaks the rules, the Uchiha patriarchs will not be cruel to any faction, but try to maintain the delicate balance within the Uchiha clan .

Whether to live in harmony with the village or properly show Uchiha's edge is all in the patriarch's mind. In short, it is to adjust foreign policy according to needs, and the fundamental purpose is to ensure Uchiha's interests.

Therefore, just like the two sides of yin and yang, the main peace or the main battle has its own meaning, and no faction of the Uchiha clan is indispensable.

But now, the situation has changed.

Accompanied by Uchiha Yu, Fuyue summoned the main combat faction, that is, most of the core members who are now named "reactionary faction". In name, they held a clan meeting, but in fact they launched an extremely bloody massacre...

This kind of behavior undoubtedly broke Uchiha's long-standing political balance within the clan, and the disappearance of the main combat faction also made Uchiha Yu feel suspicious:

Because he obviously couldn't understand why Fugaku could trust Hokage so much, as if he was sure that Hokage would not hold ill will towards the Uchiha clan, and then took the initiative to take the initiative to wipe out the capital of the Uchiha clan's resistance.

In essence, this amounts to cutting off an arm.

"Isn't the sincerity of the root chief not enough?"

Facing Uchiha Yu's question, Fuyue thought for a while, and then asked a question. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if this was his answer and the only reason for what he did today.

Mo Ran and Fu Yue looked at each other for a moment, Uchiha Yu slowly shook his head, and sighed: "Naturally enough, but the root leader is just a job in the end, it is a time-limited position, patriarch, what guarantee do you have... "

"The root leader, can he always be a member of our Uchiha clan?"

"Even if we take a step back, since Hokage can hand over this position to you, there is naturally a possibility of taking it back..."

"How can you guarantee that you can sit firmly in the position of root leader?"

Uchiha Yu's words could be said to point directly to the core of the problem, causing Fugaku to involuntarily shift his gaze to the corpses of his fellow clansmen lying on the floor, and fell into a long silence.

A few minutes passed, feeling the staring eyes from the other side getting sharper, Fuyue knew that he could no longer hide it, and it was time to reveal the truth openly and honestly.

The power of the Great Elder's lineage should not be underestimated. If his behavior today is not covered by the other party's help, it will definitely cause an uproar in the clan. By then, he will probably be the leader of the clan.

After all, he did not say in advance that he would kill all the core figures of the main battle faction in this cooperation with the Great Elder. Strictly speaking, the previous massacre should be regarded as his Uchiha Fugaku's emergency response operation, which was an unplanned variable , is his unscrupulous means in desperation.

What was originally agreed was to expel all the core members of the main combat faction from the Uchiha clan, but they didn't say that they were going to be killed, Fuyue... I was really in a hurry this time.

It has to be said that rashly using force against members of the main combat faction was indeed a bit reckless, but Fuyue really didn't want to let a bunch of mouse shit from the main combat faction mess up the matter when he was about to take office.

Although, the Great Elder's considerations are all correct.

But for his own benefit and for the future of the Uchiha clan, he should do it when it is time to do so. Otherwise, when some bad news reaches Nonoyu's ears, and then reaches Lei Luo's ears, he will be completely trapped. passive.

It should be noted that even if all the members of the main combat faction are expelled from the Uchiha clan, if they refuse to accept it, or even take certain actions, then this bad debt will inevitably be counted on Fu Yue by Lei Luo.

Of course, facing the questioning eyes of the Great Elder at this time, Fuyue knew that he could not tell the truth, that his behavior was influenced by his desire at all, so he decisively threw out another bargaining chip. One thing that can't get around the other side:

"The fourth generation once told me personally that he intends to break up all the existing ninja clan members and let all the ninja clan members fully integrate into the village like the Thousand Hands."

Looking at Uchiha Yu's thoughtful old face, Fugaku paused, and continued:
"I have thought about it carefully. As a person of the fourth generation, what he decides must be strictly implemented in the end. No one has the ability to stand in front of him, and no one is qualified to raise any objections."

"Grand Elder, I believe you have heard about the policies of the fourth generation over the years. There is no doubt that the fourth generation is vigorously strengthening the power of civilian ninjas in the village, and it is not friendly to all ninjas."

"what does that mean?"

Without waiting for Uchiha Yu to answer, Fu Yue's eyes suddenly became extremely serious, and he said word by word: "This means that the fourth generation has not given up on the plan to dismember the ninja."

"The strengthening of civilian power, to some extent, is the weakening of our ninja power. One day, all ninja will cease to exist. This is my judgment."

"Yes, the general trend."
