Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 566 Fate, oh fate...

In reality, this approach only appears to be effective.

From a long-term perspective, this approach has many drawbacks.

Essentially, Youya's approach was to shift the internal conflicts to the outside world.

What choices would these ninja clans make if they left Konoha for other villages?

In the short term, because they need the support of Konoha Village, these ninja clans that have gone out will definitely follow Konoha Village's lead.

The Hokage must have had a very high level of control over these clans before they became powerful.

However, once these families have grown stronger, they will certainly no longer be able to obey Konoha's orders.

At that time, Konoha Village's control will become very weak.

This period of time will not be short. Based on Yuya's experience, it may take at least fifty years.

Hmm... that was Yua's experience from her previous life. This is the Naruto world, where supernatural powers like ninjas exist.

Theoretically speaking, this time should be shortened.

However, the reduction won't be too significant, because human generations are typically based on a twenty-year cycle.

In other words, it takes about twenty years for a generation to rise to power. Unless the ultimate problem of human reproduction can be solved, these ninja clans will need at least one generation to rise to power. Only if a generation under their rule receives education and grows up with no connection to Konoha Village will it be possible.

If we consider the time that Konoha Village in the Youya region would support these families in the early stages of their departure from the village, this period of one generation would continue to extend, possibly as short as thirty years, before these families gradually sever their ties with Konoha Village and become more independent.

The consequence of this is that these families will gradually become independent villages.

This refers to the fiefdom bestowed upon Youya in his previous life.

However, unlike in the previous life, those who were enfeoffed were nobles who did not have to continue to work hard or personally participate in the work, while these ninja families, even if they went out, still had to participate in the work themselves because of their ninja identity.

Some people might ask, then why leave Konoha? Why would the strongest fighter in the Konoha ninja world leave?

This brings us to another concept.

That is, the main family and the branch family.

Of course, unlike the Hyuga clan's main family and branch family system, these "branch family" members who left the village to take over other places only regarded the "main family" of Konoha Village as a haven after their defeat.

Simply put, if successful, the branch family can develop outside while the main family leeches off Konoha. As time goes on and the branch family grows stronger, it's not impossible for the roles of the main family and the branch family to be reversed.

In short, who is primary and who is secondary depends on who has the bigger fist.

The families of Konoha Village agreed to this.

After all, there is a precedent for Mitokado inflammation here.

With the Land of Whirlpools as their backing, Mitokado Homura was living a life of luxury in Daimyo's territory. It's impossible for these ninja clans not to be envious of this situation.

While they were envious, these ninja clans truly had no good ideas about how to find more benefits.

Now, Youya has given them a choice.

It was even because the timing given by Youya was too perfect.

Here we need to mention the difference in perspective.

From Yua's perspective, he saw the fact that the ninja clans and common ninjas within Konoha Village had begun to collude. He understood that if the connection between these clans and common ninjas was not severed, then within a generation, or to put it bluntly, after Yua died, Konoha Village would be completely in the hands of these ninja clans.

Youya was unsure who his successor would be, or whether his successor could solve this complex problem, so he wanted to resolve it now.

However, these ninja clans are unaware of this problem.

Even the exceptionally intelligent Nara clan could only see the fact that the ninja clan was growing stronger and stronger and was sharing Yua's power.

Hiashi Hyuga also saw this point.

From the moment he discovered that Kushina Uzumaki had returned from the Land of Whirlpools and immediately sought him out in Konoha, expressing her desire for some Hyuga clan members to go to the Land of Whirlpools to help, he realized that the power held by the Konoha ninja clans had begun to encroach upon Yua's authority to appoint Hokage.

Don't forget, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, although they only have one child now, their identities naturally make Naruto the head of a new clan. This clan will naturally be based on Minato Namikaze's relatives, with some Uzumaki clan members who admire Kushina Uzumaki serving as secondary members.

This force usually keeps a low profile, but if Naruto reveals his identity and goes to the Land of Whirlpools to find them, you'll see if they'll work for him.

Kushina Uzumaki lacked political acumen, so she wouldn't have noticed the problem, but Hiashi Hyuga did.

At that time, he thought he was finished, after all, this was something that no shadow could accept.

However, the development of events left Hiashi Hyuga somewhat bewildered.

Yuya completely ignored Kushina Uzumaki's attempt to contact him about the Hyuga clan, and instead directly stated that he would give the ninja clans a chance to eat meat with the Mito clan.

Hiashi Hyuga could not possibly understand this.

The two sides are looking at the issue from two different perspectives.

Unless Hiashi Hyuga puts himself in the Hokage's shoes, he won't be able to see what's wrong.

At other times, he would never notice anything amiss.

Ultimately, Hiashi Hyuga could only connect this to Yua's recent actions, and then it dawned on him that Yua had been preparing for this from the beginning.

In fact, even Nara Shikaku felt the same way.

After returning home, Nara Shikaku pondered for a long time before finally making a decision.

Yuya probably planned from the beginning to send the Konoha ninja clans to leech off smaller countries.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why, not long after Mitokado sent Minato Namikaze to the Land of Whirlpools, Yua immediately assigned them as well.

This must have been planned by Yua from the very beginning.

Thinking about it this way, even Nara Shikaku felt a surge of excitement.

after all……

Which ninja clan doesn't want to grow and expand like Mitokado Homura?!

There's absolutely no way there could be a problem with Yuya's situation...

Nara Shikaku didn't notice the problem, which was the quickest way Yua could think of to resolve the ties between the ninja clans and civilian ninjas within Konoha.

You Ya stood at home, looking at the overcast sky outside the window, feeling neither joy nor sorrow.

If we had to pinpoint the biggest drawback of this method...

That means it's very possible that these ninja clans who have left the village will launch a counterattack on Konoha after they grow stronger, at which point Konoha will be completely unable to suppress them...

However... it doesn't really matter for Yuya.

After all, he had no clan. In the decades to come, these ninja clans would successfully launch a counterattack on Konoha, effectively sidelining the then-Hokage, and would naturally elect a new Hokage.

But if that happens...

You Ya sighed and closed his eyes.

If that happens, Konoha will basically be plunged into endless internal strife. At that point, there will be no point in talking about unifying the entire ninja world. It would be the best outcome if they could just stay in one corner of the world.

Youya's cheek hurt a little.

Damn it, does that mean I transmigrated and developed my skills for a lifetime, only to end up with nothing to show for it?

Well, that makes sense. Not only could he not unify the entire ninja world after transmigrating into the Naruto world, but he might even sow the seeds of future internal strife. Yuya felt that he had really failed.

But what Yuya himself didn't expect was...

Perhaps his remorse moved the heavens, or perhaps fate played a cruel joke on Youya, or perhaps it was all due to greed...

The vanguard of the Sarutobi clan sent to the Land of Bears...

They were all slaughtered by the locals of the Bear Kingdom, and all their supplies were looted...
