Ninja World: I am really a support ninja

The two of them went around in circles twice before finally getting to the point.

Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku was so impatient, Hatake Akira naturally took the opportunity to open the conversation.

"Of course it counts. I'm very optimistic about Itachi. He definitely has a bright future."

In response to Hatake Akira's praise, Uchiha Itachi was very happy and his eyes were shining.

However, Uchiha Fugaku remained expressionless, quietly waiting for Hatake Akira's next words.

"As long as Patriarch Fugaku agrees for Itachi to become my disciple and accept my teachings, many things will fall into place."

Hatake Akira took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Let's not beat around the bush. Patriarch Fugaku must know my identity and the dilemma my teacher is facing now."

"I don't need the Uchiha clan to do anything for me, but my teacher Namikaze Minato does."

"I wonder if Patriarch Fugaku understands?"

"Patriarch Ming, I still don't quite understand." Uchiha Fugaku didn't bite the hook immediately, "You are you, your teacher is your teacher, you can't represent him, right?"

"You're wrong about that."

Hatake Akira shook his head calmly, "After today, my teacher will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. Do you think it's a coincidence that you're sitting here talking to me today?"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned by what Hatake Akira said, but he quickly returned to his previous calm state.

"So, everything that Patriarch Ming did was instructed by the Fourth Hokage?"

"That depends on how Patriarch Fugaku understands it." Hatake Akira took the ball back again, "After all, you just said that I am me and the teacher is the teacher, the two cannot be confused."

After hearing what Hatake Akira said, Uchiha Fugaku felt a little choked.

I had intended to raise the price, but I had not expected that Hatake Akira would be so patient, and his Tai Chi skills were quite sophisticated.

After taking a deep look at Hatake Akira, Uchiha Fugaku considered for a moment before asking a tentative question.

"I wonder what the Fourth-daime-sama means..."

"Teacher is short of manpower. We are short of capable and loyal people to Konoha."

Hatake Akira took another sip of tea, "Moreover, the teacher's future governing policy will not continue the will of the Third Hokage, but intends to develop his own governing ideas."

"Patriarch Ming, can you explain it in detail?"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up, full of hope.

Hey, you're hooked!

Hatake Akira naturally noticed the change in Uchiha Fugaku's expression, and immediately felt relieved.

"Many things don't need to be explained too clearly. Clan leader Fugaku only needs to know that the good day for the Uchiha clan to return to the pinnacle of power is coming."

Uchiha Fugaku was delighted by Hatake Akira's words, and he quickly asked further questions.

"I wonder what the Yondaime wants from our Uchiha clan?"

"Request?" Hatake Akira tilted his head and raised a finger, "There is only one request, and that is loyalty to Konoha and the Land of Fire."

"So simple?!"

Uchiha Fugaku was a little bit unbelievable. It was so different from what he had imagined before.

Before coming, Uchiha Fugaku had already prepared himself for heavy bleeding or being used as a knife by Namikaze Minato, but in the end he suddenly realized that things were better than he expected.

But at the same time, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Is there really such a good thing in the world?

"Simple?" Hatake Akira smiled and shook his head. "Patriarch Fugaku, although this matter seems simple, it is actually not simple at all."

"To put it nicely, the Uchiha clan is still a powerful family."

"To be frank, the Uchiha clan is nothing but the most powerful family in Konoha!"

"Patriarch Ming, you..."

Uchiha Fugaku wanted to stand up and slam the table, but he still held himself back.

Although what Hatake Akira said was harsh, this was the dilemma that the Uchiha clan was facing now.

The Uchiha clan has now been squeezed out of Konoha's power center, and both its status and influence are rapidly declining.

If this continues, when Konoha no longer needs the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha clan will become uncertain...

"I was too excited..."

"Haha, it's human nature."

Hatake Akira didn't take it seriously, and then stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, "The reorganized Root, the captain of the Konoha Emergency Response Force, the deputy chief of Konoha Anbu, and the deputy captain of the Hokage Guard, you Uchiha clan can choose two of these four positions."

"what?!"

The blockbuster bomb dropped by Hatake Akira directly shocked Uchiha Fugaku so much that he almost jumped out of his seat.

Happiness came too suddenly, causing Uchiha Fugaku's heart to beat faster...

Then comes the torment of making a choice.

Any of these five positions is a powerful department in Konoha, far more important than the Konoha Patrol Security Department previously controlled by the Uchiha clan.

But soon, Uchiha Fugaku calmed down.

"Clan leader Ming, I wonder what our Uchiha clan needs to pay?"

"You need to know that you can get all this because the teacher is backing you up." Hatake Akira glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, "But when the teacher succeeded the Fourth Hokage, the many forces left by the Third Hokage became the teacher's biggest headache."

"So... you should understand, right, Chief Fugaku?"

"I see."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, "Then our clan will choose the two positions of Deputy Chief of Anbu and Deputy Captain of the Hokage Guard."

"It's a wise choice, but I have one more request."

"Please say!"

"Some rebellious voices in the Uchiha clan need to be silenced." Hatake Akira's expression was very serious. "Now everything has changed. You will return to the center of power in Konoha. There is no need for these dangerous ideas to exist."

"After all... if you work hard for two generations, there is a high probability that the position of Hokage of Konoha will fall on you."

As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up instantly, as bright as a 100-watt light bulb!

Uchiha Fugaku finally left with Uchiha Itachi.

Although Uchiha Fugaku really wanted to have a long talk with Hatake Akira, Hatake Akira was not at all willing.

Who wants to have a night chat with a stalemate?

It can be said that in this conversation between the two, each of them got what they wanted from each other, and they also temporarily reached an alliance.

As for why it is temporary, it is because Uchiha Fugaku has not yet dealt with the last request made by Hatake Akira.

Since the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, came to power, the Uchiha clan has been under increasing pressure year by year.

This led to the emergence of a very radical faction within the already unruly Uchiha clan, whose central idea was to use force to achieve their ambition of returning to the political center of Konoha.

This radical faction within the Uchiha clan was called the Uchiha Hawk Faction by Hatake Akira.

As long as the Uchiha Hawk Faction is not dealt with, Hatake Akira will not reduce his vigilance against the Uchiha clan.

After all, human ambitions are endless. Today, the Uchiha Hawk Faction may think of taking back some power through force, but in the future they may think of using force to seize the position of Hokage.

Hatake Akira reused the Uchiha clan because he wanted to make Konoha stronger, rather than raising a tiger to cause trouble and let the Uchiha clan go back to the old path of seizing power by force.

In this case, the hawkish thinking within the Uchiha clan must be eradicated!

Only by eradicating the hawkish ideas within the Uchiha clan could Minato Namikaze be more assured in reusing the Uchiha clan during his reign.

In other words, the Uchiha clan will never be stingy or suppressed with what should be given, and the Uchiha clan cannot ask for what should not be given!

This point must be implemented. Otherwise, given the Uchiha clan's unruly nature, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

As for when Hatake Akira will be able to completely let go of his guard against the Uchiha clan, that will have to wait until Uchiha Itachi and subsequent members of the Uchiha clan grow up.

Hatake Akira believed that with his educational abilities, he could educate the next generation of the Uchiha clan well.

When Uchiha Fugaku returned to the Uchiha residence, he immediately handed Uchiha Itachi to Uchiha Mikoto, and hurriedly convened a meeting of all the Uchiha clan members.

"Chief... I don't think things are that simple."

An Uchiha clan member stood up and said, "Could this be a conspiracy of Minato Namikaze? After all, such a huge benefit... It always feels a little unreal."

"On the contrary, not only is there no conspiracy, but it couldn't be more true."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled, and then patiently explained, "The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was born an ordinary civilian, and the people and forces he could use behind the scenes could be counted on one hand."

"As for the Hatake clan, which is the right-hand man of Minato Namikaze, their family is very small, and the only three people who can stand on their own are Hatake Sakumo, Hatake Akira, and Hatake Kakashi, father and son."

"But there are too many powerful departments in Konoha. Even if the Fourth Hokage and the three Hatake father and son work themselves to death, it is impossible for them to control all the powerful departments in Konoha."

"And we all know why the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated, and after his abdication, the Sandaime Hokage will definitely secretly make things difficult for the Fourth Hokage."

"In this case, Namikaze Minato wants to control the entire Konoha as quickly as possible, and our Uchiha clan will naturally become his best natural ally."

Uchiha Fugaku's lengthy speech made a lot of sense. All the Uchiha high-ranking officials present nodded, agreeing with his judgment.

"But...will Minato Namikaze cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

But although they agreed, many high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan still had doubts.

The main reason is that the Uchiha clan has faced too many backstabbings from Konoha's high-level officials along the way, which gradually made them develop signs of "paranoia".

"I have thought about this question, so I chose the position of Vice-Chief of Anbu and Vice-Captain of the Hokage Guard."

Uchiha Fugaku looked like he had everything under control. "Everyone knows the duties of the Anbu, and if nothing unexpected happens, the candidate for the Anbu chief should be Hatake Sakumo."

"Although Hatake Sakumo is very powerful, judging from his previous performance, he is not a person who is greedy for power."

"So, as long as our Uchiha clan performs well in the Anbu, the position of Anbu chief will definitely belong to us in the future!"

"As for the position of captain of the Hokage Guard, it will be either Hatake Akira or Hatake Kakashi. Judging from the personalities of the two, it is very likely that Hatake Kakashi will be the captain of the Hokage Guard."

"Kakashi is equally strong, and I don't know much about his personality, but this has no effect on us at all."

"As long as the ninjas of our clan stay by the side of the Fourth Hokage at all times, the Fourth Hokage will be aware of the strength and ambition of our Uchiha clan. Whether or not we can become the captain of the Hokage Guard in the future is not that important to us."
