Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Itachi Uchiha's words certainly didn't come out of thin air, nor were they the result of a pure soul seeing through the emperor's new clothes.

Having experienced life and death, and having tasted blood on the edge of a knife, the Uchiha are not fools; they are not so blind as to turn a blind eye.

The Uchiha were simply blinded by their love for Konoha, which prevented them from seeing reality.

Itachi Uchiha loved Konoha Village, his clan, and his family even more intensely. He was also blinded by love and once regarded the Third Hokage as a guiding light in his life.

Fortunately, Yamanaka Chujiu enlightened Itachi in his dream last night, allowing him to see clearly the true nature of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had guided Meidou.

Uchiha Itachi's seemingly naive yet wise words came from the way of thinking that Yamanaka Hatsukyu had etched into his mind during his treatment of mental illness earlier that day.

There was no other way. In order to help Itachi to completely straighten out his thinking logic, Yamanaka Hatsukyu had to implant his own thinking mode into Itachi's mind to prevent Itachi's thoughts from going astray again.

What?

It is immoral to imprint someone's thoughts on their mind without their consent.

Haha, this is Uchiha Itachi, he's not a naturally good person like Shisui!

Moreover, the ideological imprint left by the mountain's Chu Jiu emphasizes close relationships, with the logic of loving one's family and clan first, and then loving the village.

This is Itachi Uchiha's true nature: he is emotionally rich and passionately loves his family, clan, and Konoha Village.

The child's only mistake was that after his values ​​collapsed, he got the order of love wrong and embarked on the path of the righteous and altruistic.

Humans have feelings, therefore human nature is inherently selfish.

Heaven is merciless, therefore its way is perfectly just.

Uchiha Itachi was a human, how could a human possibly advocate for the ultimate justice?

Don't tell me that Uchiha Itachi isn't worthy, not even the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo!

Let's honestly prioritize our families, then our clans, and only then consider the village.

With Yamanaka Hatsukyu's ideological imprint, at least Itachi won't go astray again, nor will he destroy his clan for the sake of Konoha.

The closer the relatives are to him, the less likely they are to notice the problem.

Standing on the right side, Itachi Uchiha became insightful and immediately saw through the problems in the agreement.

Fugaku Uchiha and the elders were not fools; they were simply blinded by the peace of Konoha Village. Their hearts, clouded by peace, were unwilling to confront the cruel betrayal of their comrades.

Itachi Uchiha exposed the deception, which allowed Fugaku to see through Hiruzen Sarutobi's scheme.

Regardless of what Hiruzen Sarutobi thought or said, his actions proved that he subconsciously regarded the Uchiha clan as enemies.

The five Uchiha suppressed their anger and gritted their teeth as they revised their negotiation strategy.

Want the Uchiha to relocate? No problem!

First, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, must provide a clear timeframe and method for resolving the problem, as well as the desired outcome.

Secondly, the Third Hokage must clarify how the land and properties of the Uchiha clan's territory will be handled: whether the village will pay for their acquisition or the village will guarantee rent to other ninja clans.

Finally, everything must be put on paper, written down in black and white, and signed by the Third Hokage!

You know what, even though he clearly recognized Hiruzen Sarutobi as an enemy, Fugaku Uchiha was still worried about their relationship.

"Isn't it going too far to force the Third Hokage to sign a promise?"

Fugaku Uchiha wasn't alone, and Yuya Uchiha also felt uneasy.

"The clan leader's concerns are not unfounded. The Third Hokage is, after all, the Hokage. We're putting him under so much pressure..."

Uchiha Yuichiro also frowned, shaking his head repeatedly, "Yes, if we do this, there really won't be any room for reconciliation..."

Even the hawkish Uchiha Yomo remained silent.

Only Uchiha Setsuna muttered, "It's not that there's no other way; Hiruzen Sarutobi is always breaking his promises..."

Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything more, but quietly observed the expressions of his elders, his thoughts unknown.

The next morning, Itachi Uchiha ate breakfast, played with his younger brother who was blowing bubbles for a while, and then went out alone.

Go find the ninth day of the lunar month in the mountains!

Relying on his intuition as the first follower, Itachi Uchiha found Yamanaka Hatsukyu without needing to do any extra searching.

Accompanied by fifty-five children, Yamanaka Hatsukyu greeted them from afar, "Good morning, Itachi."

Itachi asked curiously, "Good morning, Senior Chu Jiu, what are you all doing here?"

"I borrowed a piece of unused land from a mountain tribe, and I plan to lead everyone to reclaim the land and cultivate it."

Uchiha Shisui asked in surprise, "Senior Chu Jiu, clearing land is very hard work, can we manage it?"

Yamazaku said, "Yes, that 'we' is well said!"

"Don't worry, I can do it."

"It is certainly hard for ordinary farmers to work the land, but it is not so hard for ninjas. Even children who have not yet mastered ninjutsu can create miracles that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment, then looked around and asked, "Senior Chu Jiu, it's November now. Even if we clear the land in winter, what can we plant?"

Shan Zhongchu smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

Cross the Konoha River and head east; it's not far to reach the Yamanaka family's land.

This wasteland near the river has a very steep slope, shallow and barren soil, and is full of gravel, so only shallow-rooted grasses can grow.

There's plenty of good land in Konoha Village, but the Yamanaka clan members don't want to put in the effort to manage it, so Yamanaka Chukyu rented it at a very low price.

He knew the principle that "no one cultivates barren land, but once it is cultivated, people will scramble for it."

So they seriously discussed the profit sharing with their eldest brother, Haiyi, wrote it down in black and white, and obtained the elder's approval.

This doesn't guarantee there won't be any future disputes, but at least it sets out a boundary for competing for interests, preventing us from being swallowed whole by someone else.

Standing by the river, Shan Zhongchu pointed to the barren hillside and shouted, "Everyone, this is the land we're going to cultivate!"

Chu Jiu's voice was still not loud enough, but everyone could hear it clearly in the river breeze and feel his unwavering determination.

"The elders of the mountain tribe said that clearing the land would take three years, require a lot of money, and require the labor of adults."

"I told him right then and there, no, chakra and ninjutsu can create miracles!"

"We are descendants of ninjas, we possess the talent of ninjas, and we are destined to become ninjas in the future."

"But does becoming a ninja necessarily mean only being able to kill?"

"No, that's not it!"

"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is not best at killing, but at healing and saving lives!"

"Since ninjutsu can save lives, it can also be used to create wealth!"

"We can use our own hands and our own ninjutsu to cultivate this abandoned land and transform it into fertile fields in an impossible time, so that it can grow grains and vegetables."

"And these grains and vegetables can be exchanged for money, becoming our income to support our families!"
