Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

Therefore, on the border.

The security forces of the various ninja villages are merely facing off against each other from a distance, glaring at each other helplessly.

No further crisis erupted.

After repeatedly confirming the border situation, the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, and others breathed a sigh of relief and then began to arrange the reconstruction of Konoha in an orderly manner according to the established plan.

This is the moment that was bound to come.

When professional technicians arrived, they re-surveyed and redefined the new settlement areas for the various ninja clans.

Regardless of how many people in the Uchiha clan are unwilling.

However, they still had to obey their clan leader's orders against their will, and under the arrangement of the people sent by the higher-ups, the clan began the relocation.

Although the area of ​​Konoha Village destroyed by the Nine-Tailed Fox was only about one-fifth of its original size.

However, this reconstruction plan is not so pure.

This resulted in the affected area covering more than a quarter of the total area of ​​Konohagakure.

More than twenty ninja clans' settlements were to be relocated. In reality, only two or three of the settlements were actually destroyed; the rest were required to relocate from their original settlements due to "special reasons."

What is the reason?

Everyone knows the truth.

Moreover, these ninja clans either had members who died in the Nine-Tails' attack, or they were closely related to Hiruzen Sarutobi. This included the Sarutobi clan, from which the Third Hokage himself came, and the Shimura clan, from which Danzo came. All of them were on this relocation plan.

This massive reconstruction project, the first since the founding of Konoha, involves many aspects and is clearly not something that can be completed in a short time.

But this project will only begin once it officially starts.

This means that the Uchiha clan has been truly isolated and cut off.

However, these are not issues that Jiang Si can intervene in right now. His top priority is to adapt to these Mangekyou Sharingan as quickly as possible and strengthen his own abilities.

In a world where strength reigns supreme.

One must possess at least the skill level of an actor of at least the level of a film master to have the qualifications and ability to truly intervene in these major events.

to this end.

These days.

The generals who stayed in the clan, apart from carrying out their daily village security patrol duties and making some preparations for relocation, devoted all their remaining time to independent cultivation, especially in their previous duel with Shisui.

This made Jiang Si clearly realize that his current strength was completely insufficient!

I need to become stronger.

"Brother Si? I heard we're moving? Is that true?"

First came the Jonin of the clan, then all the ninjas, and finally the ordinary people of the clan. This applies not only to ordinary ninja clans, but even in the powerful Uchiha clan, a significant proportion of its large population consists of ordinary people.

The ordinary people here do not refer to those tribesmen who are unable to open their eyes.

Rather, it refers to clansmen who have absolutely no potential to become ninjas.

These people, as the lowest level of the clan, certainly have no problems with their daily lives, but they are subject to certain restrictions in terms of intelligence transmission and personal actions, especially the latter. After all, not being able to become a ninja does not mean that these people do not have the bloodline of the Uchiha clan.

Above the ninja world.

Every ninja clan places great importance on the inheritance of their clan.

Especially the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, which possess extremely strong bloodline limits.

They absolutely forbid any outsiders from interfering with the bloodline of their clan, which is why these 'ordinary people' are truly restricted in every aspect.

The fact that the clan's residence needed to be relocated was something these people only found out about at the very end. Shoji had originally planned to tell his family in the next two days, but unexpectedly, Kosaki already knew in advance. On this day, Shoji was training in his family's dojo.

While lunch was being prepared, she came to call her older brother.

Saki couldn't help but ask.

After a slight pause, Jiang Si gently patted his younger sister's cute little head and said, "Yes, the clan has been making preparations these past few days. But don't worry, Xiao Xiao, the new home will be the same as the old one!"

"Um.."

Even though that's what my older brother said.

But it seems that Kosaki still has some unresolved issues in her heart.

When Jiang Si saw the obvious sadness on his younger sister's face, he bent down, picked up the little girl with a slightly surprised expression, and said softly, "Xiao Xiao, it doesn't really matter where you are. As long as Grandma is here, and Xiao Yang and I are here, isn't that enough? Family is the most important thing!"

Kosaki leaned against Shoji's chest.

Listening to her brother's gentle words.

He obediently nodded.

"I knew our little Saki was the best girl, let's go!"

"Yes, Brother Si!"

The Uchiha clan, which had to be relocated as a whole, was filled with discontent, fear, suspicion, anger, and reluctance. It could be said that from the moment the relocation project officially started, such an atmosphere permeated the Uchiha clan, which was perfectly normal in Shoji's eyes.

However, from Shisui's perspective, this development wasn't so appealing.

Shisui was already caught between his clan and the Konoha leadership.

I really don't want to see a group filled with almost unlimited negative emotions.

Because he knew it very well.

The more dissatisfied a clan becomes.

The more vigilant and fearful the villagers become of a particular clan, the more intense their fear and apprehension will be.

This is a path that should never be taken.

Shisui wanted to gain more support and understanding from her clan, and Shoji also wanted to find his companions.

Among the two younger generation, besides Fugaku Uchiha, they are the only two holders of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Driven by different thoughts and ideologies, they embarked on two completely opposite paths.

only.

These two people initially seemed to be going down completely different paths.

Whether they will ultimately converge on the same destination, only the goddess of fate knows!

11. The second step I want to take

P.S.: Please bookmark this, friends!

The ninja clan, with a population of several thousand, relocated.

It was an extremely time-consuming and laborious task to begin with, let alone now that there were more than a dozen ninja clans, plus ordinary civilians, nearly 100,000 people whose residences were being relocated. Even though Konoha had made all the preparations, it still took more than half a year from the initial infrastructure project to the final relocation, although there were some slight deviations in the actual operation.

However, the Uchiha clan's residence remained as originally planned.

They were assigned to the most remote location in the west of Konoha Village. The triangular area to the east, south, and north was home to ninja clans such as Kazematsuri, Ise, Aburame, Gekko, Inuzuka, and Akimichi. These ninja clans may seem individually no match for the Uchiha clan, but when they unite, even a powerful clan like the Uchiha, with no one currently possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan, would be 100% overwhelmed and annihilated by these ninja clans.

The area where these ninja clans reside.

Even if they seem to be at a certain distance from the Uchiha clan.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes clear that two clans are closely linked and perfectly connected, forming a '品' (pin) formation to completely surround the Uchiha clan in the central area. Ordinary members of the Uchiha clan naturally cannot understand this meaning.

However, those clansmen with a little more knowledge could clearly see the danger in this arrangement.

This is also the most provocative point for the Uchiha clan.

Because this treats them like 'potential criminals'.

It can be said that this relocation of the clan's headquarters has deeply pierced the hearts of almost everyone in the Uchiha clan. The only consolation is that this relocation has brought the clan's headquarters closer to their own forbidden ground—the Naka Shrine.

It's likely that some of the ordinary clansmen didn't realize the difference, and some were even happy to move to a new house, where they could live in a more spacious house and be closer to their family shrine.

These different emotions expressed by the people of the tribe.

Jiang Si saw everything clearly, and to be honest, he felt somewhat disappointed and helpless towards his own family members.

It is indeed normal for a group to feel dissatisfied and angry when they are suspected or isolated.

It's not surprising that ordinary tribesmen express this emotion openly, but few of the adults in the tribe are reliable. At least in Jiang Si's opinion, they all seem to lack any ability to control their facial expressions.

A person who can truly be described as having deep cunning and composure.

Aside from Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, there were only a handful of Uchiha clan elders, led by Uchiha Genran. The remaining clan members not only vented their emotions freely at secret clan meetings, but also expressed their dissatisfaction with the village in their daily lives.

Shoji even suspected that if Fugaku Uchiha hadn't sternly and repeatedly forbade any discussion of anything related to a 'coup' at the clan meeting, these 'idiot clan members' might have brazenly declared, "If the village decides to do this or that, we'll definitely do that and that!"

It must be said that the pride deep in the Uchiha clan's bones is real.

But his goofy side is just unbelievable.

From this perspective, it's no wonder that Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha all exhibited varying degrees of 'brain drain'—it's truly a genetic inheritance!

It's highly likely that the 'illness' is just milder in the ordinary members of the clan.

Are these people typical examples of those whose condition is 'terminally serious'?

It was precisely because of these observations over the past six months that Jiang Si came to the conclusion that he could not casually contact his own clansmen. Who knows if these idiots would directly 'sell' him out, not in the sense of betrayal or anything.

The Uchiha clan was a very large clan.

At least according to the original work, until the night of the massacre, the only true traitor was Itachi Uchiha. Shisui was not even half a traitor. If Danzo hadn't been so insidious and cruel, the Uchiha clan might not have ended up like that if Shisui had lived.

Therefore, strictly speaking, apart from Itachi Uchiha, almost all the remaining members of the Uchiha clan can be trusted to support the interests of the clan. Shoji is not worried about their 'loyalty', but only about their intelligence.

Therefore, after more than half a year of various observations and repeated attempts.

The commander was forced to abandon most of his target individuals.

He only selected three or four of the most reliable people to gradually get in touch with. In this way, he did not reveal his plans and goals in full, but explained his intentions in stages. The core idea was that he wanted to help the clan get out of its current predicament and let the Uchiha clan obtain the status and treatment they deserved.

No changes are allowed!

Not to mention that this was originally one of the commander's true objectives.

Even if not, you must raise the banner of fighting for the interests of the tribe in the early stages of winning people's hearts. Otherwise, you will not be able to gather people's hearts, so how can you talk about the next plan?

That's the core idea.

The specific plan will be described in a rather abstract and general way.

These include, but are not limited to, making themselves stronger and trying to gain the support of other ninja clans for the Uchiha clan. This is one of the plans that Jiang Si came up with after careful consideration. It's not that Jiang Si himself was hesitant, but rather that these plans were just backup options for him.
