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

Although Aburame Ryoma was not his biological son, but rather the child of a distant cousin.

But he is the hope of the Aburame clan!

Among the next generation of the Aburame clan, only Aburame Ryoma has the ability to shoulder the responsibility!

simply put.

If Danzo hadn't suddenly appeared, Ryoma Aburame would have been the next clan leader.

How could Aburame Shiki be willing to accept that such an important figure was forcibly taken away by Danzo?

some days ago.

He tried to find Hiruzen Sarutobi, but the result was obvious.

He was indoctrinated with a whole bunch of nonsense about the 'Will of Fire,' that the village would remember the sacrifices and contributions of the Aburame clan, and that everything was for the sake of Konoha...

Other than that, no more!

Yu Nu Zhiwei was a clever person.

He knew the real reason: the Aburame clan was unimportant!

The Hokage's faction wouldn't even look at a mere mid-tier ninja clan.

and so.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unwilling to cause trouble for Danzo Shimura because of him!

In the past, he could only endure it.

Even when forced by Danzo, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Because the Aburame clan needs to survive in Konoha.

Let alone a mere Aburame Ryoma, even if Danzo wanted him to 'sacrifice' himself for Konoha...

As the clan leader, He Younü Zhiwei must also join the Root Clan!

But things are different now.

The sudden rise of Uchiha Jin showed him another possibility.

That's why he wouldn't wait even a quarter of an hour last night.

The root cause of his visit came as soon as the meeting ended.

"Jin-kun, thank you very much!"

"From this day forward, the Aburame clan will follow the lead of the Uchiha clan."

"Small ninja clans like Shiranui, Gekko, and Mitarai are quite close to our Aburame clan."

"Unlike the Ino-Shika-Cho and Hyuga clans, they had already secretly formed an alliance against the unreasonable demands of villages like Danzo."

"As long as the Uchiha are willing to take them under their protection, I can persuade them to join the Uchiha camp."

“Even the Inuzuka and Kurama clans have a good relationship with the Aburame clan, so I can try to persuade them to join.”

Yu Nu Zhiwei, no nonsense.

Now that he has chosen to join the Uchiha camp, he will naturally do his best to plan for the Uchiha.

This is normal.

After all, choosing sides is a serious matter; once you're on board, there's no turning back.

Since they have enjoyed the protection of the Uchiha clan, if the Uchiha clan is defeated and wiped out, then the Aburame clan will not be able to escape either.

and so.

Of course, he wanted to make the Uchiha clan as strong as possible.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up.

Without hesitation, he immediately spoke up.

"I'll leave this matter to Chief Oil Woman."

"I, Uchiha Jin, can guarantee that as long as you are willing to join our camp, Uchiha will be willing to protect you."

"As long as the Uchiha clan survives, they will be safe."

“Even the Uchiha merchant caravan is welcome to come and discuss cooperation.”

"And we are willing to share with everyone the meat that the Uchiha took from the Hokage's faction during their next operation."

"But, similarly."

"Since you've joined the Uchiha camp, while the Uchiha will provide you with protection, you must also obey the Uchiha's commands."

"Of course I can guarantee that I will never send them to their deaths!"

Uchiha Jin is not stingy.

Having lived two lives, he knew very well that the most stable relationship in this world was still one of mutual benefit!

Just like the Naruto lineage, why were the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Utatane, and Mitomon willing to follow Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Stop talking nonsense.

It was because when Hiruzen Sarutobi plundered the village's resources, he was willing to share some with the ninja clans.

Their alliance was unbreakable until it was broken.

of course.

Alliances of interest are fragile; if problems arise in the distribution of benefits, it's quite normal for them to turn into enemies.

But the problem is...

Compared to alliances based on shared interests, other alliances are even less reliable!

Unless an ideological alliance is formed, where everyone shares a common ideology.

only.

That's too tiring!

Let's wait until Itachi grows up and let him come. For Jhin now, the alliance of interests is stable enough.

"Ok, no problem."

"Since it's already decided, let's not waste any more time."

"I'm going to go talk to other ninja clans right now!"

Oil Girl Zhiwei immediately got up.

He is a decisive person, and once he has made up his mind, he is unwilling to waste time.

Uchiha Jin did not stop him. After exchanging a few polite words, he got up and saw Aburame Shiki off.

After a while.

When Jin returned from outside the courtyard, he saw Fugaku looking worried.

"Chieftain, what's wrong?"

"With the Aburame clan joining our ranks, they will also recruit more ninja clans for us."

"Isn't this a good thing for the Uchiha clan?"

"At the very least."

"With the support of these ninja clans, even if we can't wipe out the Hokage's faction, we can still protect ourselves."

So what's troubling you?

Uchiha Jin looked puzzled.

He really couldn't figure it out.

After all, for Uchiha Jin, the most difficult time for the Uchiha clan is now completely over.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's failure to make a move last night was absolutely his biggest mistake.

none of them!

It was precisely because of his actions last night that people realized he was starting to decline.

On the contrary.

Last night's actions by the Uchiha clan made more ninja realize that the Uchiha have truly changed.

otherwise.

Today, the Aburame clan will not come to visit.

It can be said.

Last night was a turning point; the Uchiha clan has weathered it.

starting today.

As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, things will definitely get better and better.
