No matter how eagerly Uchiha You wanted to concentrate on cultivating the Immortal Realm, no matter how indifferent he was to fame and fortune, cultivators of the Immortal Realm could not avoid the four essentials of Dharma, wealth, companions and land.
Before this, Uchiha You felt that he had nothing except his partner. His methods were unclear, his land was incomplete, money was hard to earn, and there were too many things he needed to work hard for.
But I have to say that Uchiha You is lucky.
He used fishing tricks to fish out Uchiha Shinin from behind Uchiha Shisui, and obtained the Uchiha Revival Fund which was rich enough to rival a village, and he was no longer short of money.
He rescued the ninja cats, taught them the way of immortality through Miwa Masayo, established a solid relationship with the ninja cat clan, and turned the cat castle into his own cave.
When he broke through the foundation-building period, he had an epiphany, integrated into the world, glimpsed the path to the future, and obtained his own method of cultivation.
By the way, I also got transparent fish from the underground river and made the first extraordinary ingredient.
After going out for a run, Uchiha You not only had a new understanding of his own strength, but also improved his own wealth, magic, companionship and land.
He also confirmed the existence of so-called "natural treasures" in the ninja world through the transparent fish.
The magical effect of the dried fish and its role in promoting spiritual practice made Uchiha You realize that compared to the money in circulation, the transparent fish are the real wealth.
In the future, he wants to concentrate on cultivating immortality. He needs to spend time traveling around the ninja world, searching for all kinds of natural treasures. He cannot and is unwilling to serve as the head of the Uchiha clan for a long time.
But collecting natural treasures requires manpower, and treasures like the transparent fish require long-term manpower investment. He also needs a powerful force to help him manage the resources of the entire ninja world.
No wonder powerful immortal cultivators in novels would establish sects, and the sects would interfere with the mortal kingdoms. This is a hard requirement for immortal cultivators. The time of immortal cultivators is so precious, how can they waste it on little guys who have just entered the door, or even on things that mortals can do?
Uchiha Yu's understanding of the importance of the white gloves deepened, and his emphasis on Shisui also increased accordingly.
To be honest, Uchiha You is not at ease leaving the transparent fish in the underground river to the Ninja Cat Clan.
The Ninja Cats are not of the same kind as himself. Except for the only special one, Miwa Masayo, he doesn't think that his interests and those of the Ninja Cats can be consistent in the long run.
Moreover, let a group of cats help you watch the fish pond...
This is similar to the Jade Emperor's arrangement for Sun Wukong to guard the Peach Garden. If Uchiha You had no choice, how could he have made such a decision?
It was the helpless stimulation in this matter that made Uchiha You determined that he must become the patriarch of the Uchiha family and hold the highest power of the Uchiha family.
Except for a few perverts, the Uchiha people are usually simple and very grateful.
As long as Uchiha You can lead the Uchiha clan out of the predicament in a short period of time, even if he gives up the position of clan leader to Uchiha Shisui, the clan members can continue to serve him.
From then on, he hid behind the scenes, providing military deterrence for the family, ensuring the safety of family members, and ensuring that the Uchiha family could have power and financial resources.
The family provided him with manpower, managed the production sites of various natural treasures, and collected and produced all kinds of resources he needed.
This is the management model that Uchiha You wants. Only when all participants can benefit and there is no direct conflict between them can this model be maintained for a long time.
As a cultivator who has embarked on the path to immortality, all issues must be considered from a long-term perspective first. Under the model of sustainable development, Uchiha You can get the leisurely and safe life he wants most and cultivate immortality wholeheartedly.
Uchiha Shinyin got a satisfactory answer and felt Uchiha You's sincerity, so he was naturally relieved.
Moreover, he has recovered his health now and can live to at least ninety years old. He can watch Uchiha You complete his plan initially and watch Uchiha Shisui grow up into a young man. What does he have to worry about?
Old man Xin Yin suddenly asked loudly: "Where's breakfast? I'm so hungry, hurry up and prepare breakfast for me, I want to eat meat! Bring out your best breakfast, I think I can eat a cow!"
"After you're full, I'll go to Fugaku's house. Tonight, I'll make you the president of the study group."
"A bunch of stupid boys became elders and ignored me. They treated my words as farts. Today I will let them know that I am still their uncle after all!!"
So, at the Uchiha family meeting, there was a magical scene where an old man in his eighties beat up a group of old men in their forties and fifties.
Uchiha Shinin has the oldest qualifications and the highest seniority, and now he has a strong fist. When Uchiha Fugaku did not say a word, his proposal was naturally fully passed.
Fugaku even smiled and asked if he needed any further support.
Uchiha Shinin made his request without hesitation: "I need the clan leader's order, money, and the spare time of some young ninjas from the security department. Finally, I want to transfer the Yashiro over to look after the children."
To be honest, although old man Xin Yin's tone was harsh, his request was not exaggerated. For the Uchiha family's financial resources, it was not a problem at all.
Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly, agreeing readily: "You are very thoughtful, everything will be done according to your request."
Uchiha Shinyin's request was fully met, but when he laughed, no one noticed that the disappointment and regret in his eyes were almost impossible to conceal.
[Why did I think Uchiha Fugaku could be the clan leader? 】
Uchiha You had guessed all of Uchiha Fugaku's reactions, including his initial non-interference, his attempts to smooth things over after the situation became clear, and his attempt to sabotage the situation.
Because he had the preview of Uchiha Yu's description in his mind, Fugaku's actions seemed particularly stupid and slow in the eyes of old man Shin Yin.
As the patriarch of a large family, Fugaku has to pretend to be ignorant about many matters.
As the saying goes, "If you are not deaf or blind, you are not qualified to be the head of the family." The patriarch must not be too serious about all the details, otherwise it will easily arouse conflicts within the family, causing discord among the people, power struggles, and unrest among the whole family.
But this is only a necessary means to maintain daily peace, which does not mean that the patriarch should pretend to be confused in all places.
The patriarch must distinguish which things are important, and he must be meticulous and have full authority over key and important matters.
Uchiha You believes that there are only three things that the Uchiha family needs to pay attention to at present. The first is to improve the law enforcement methods of the security forces, the second is to deal with wars, and the third is to educate the young generation of ninjas aged ten to eighteen.
The first thing is the old problem of the Uchiha family. Without sufficient prestige, it cannot be changed at all. The current Uchiha Fugaku also does not have enough prestige to implement relevant reforms.
Moreover, what is most needed during war is stability. Everyone understands that only strict and ruthless law enforcement can protect the safety of the village to the greatest extent.
The villagers would not say anything strange during this period, and even if some individuals had complaints, the Third Hokage would take the initiative to help resolve them.
Therefore, this matter is not suitable for resolution for the time being. We must wait until the war is over and the environment of Konoha Village changes before we can find a way to resolve it.
The second matter is very important and has already happened. As a nobody in the family, Uchiha You is definitely not qualified to interfere in it, but he tells Uchiha Shinin his views.
He believed that the most important thing for both Konoha Village and the Uchiha Clan in their war preparations was to determine the war goal, or the purpose of the war.
In Konoha Village, the Third Hokage needed to consider who to fight with and to what extent before ending the war at the right time.
In the Uchiha family, Uchiha Fugaku needs to consider what kind of benefits the family should obtain. After having a clear goal, he will consider how to do it accordingly.
Uchiha You was just saying it at the time, but Uchiha Shinin had an ugly expression on his face.
Because the Uchiha family held many clan meetings, but no one said what collective benefits the family would gain, and everyone was fantasizing about how to become famous during the discussion.
Even Uchiha Shinyin himself had not thought about what the Uchiha family needed to gain from the war.
The third thing is also very important. These children will go to the battlefield in this war. It is very important for the Uchiha family to strengthen their education and teach them combat and war life-saving skills.
Increasing the survival rate of young ninjas is the most important measure to protect the vitality of the family.
For Uchiha Yuu, this is an important step to win the hearts of the younger generation of the family and expand his influence and power. It is even a key step to overthrow the position of clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.
This is what he said to Uchiha Shinin:
"If I were the head of the Fugaku clan, I would strongly support the study group and personally serve as its president. Even if I don't have time to teach in person, I would show up often and get to know all the young ninjas."
"The Third Hokage did a great job in this regard. He went to the Ninja School every now and then to give speeches on the Spirit of Fire. He was able to put aside his Hokage status and get close to the students, so he naturally gained their admiration. Today, it can be said that this has become a trend."
"Education is a matter of great importance that captures people's hearts and minds. We must never leave it to others."
Then Uchiha You smiled and predicted: "Unfortunately, our Fugaku clan leader does not have this awareness. I guess what he wants is to place a stable and trusted ninja in to watch over me, so that I won't cause any trouble and cause him trouble."
"But if Patriarch Fugaku ignores it, I will be more relaxed in the future."
"So, when the time comes, just propose that Captain Yashiro be involved. Chief Fugaku will definitely accept it with pleasure."
"Among the four captains of the security department, Captain Yashiro is my old superior and the one who agrees with my ideas the most. Captain Yashiro's joining the study group will benefit me more than anyone else."
Uchiha Shinin proposed according to Uchiha You's guess, and indeed got Fugaku's satisfied approval.
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku, who was plotted against to the core without realizing it, and his contented, happy and brilliant smile, and then comparing it with Uchiha You, who was calm and composed and had a grasp of his wisdom, Uchiha Shinin had an idea: even if it costs his life, he must help You to take the position, and get rid of this clan leader who appears to be strong and shrewd but is actually weak and confused as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the Uchiha family is in danger! !
The old man was not a time traveler, nor did he have the ability to predict the future. Of course, he could not have imagined that the fate of the Uchiha family was rushing towards destruction.
The crisis he saw was precisely Uchiha Yu.
The Uchiha clan has a history of producing strong men and lunatics, and the two groups overlap to a high degree.
Xin Yin has lived for more than eighty years, but this is the first time he has seen a clan member like Uchiha You.
Compared to Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Obito, Uchiha You is the one who is truly unlike the Uchiha. He is too smart, too self-aware, and has wisdom that even shocks the old man.
There has never been such a person in the history of the Uchiha family. The only person who is similar to him is... Senju Tobirama. Even their personalities are extremely similar. They both seem gentle but are actually cold and will do anything to achieve their goals.
Uchiha Shinyin's intuition told him that if Uchiha You could not control the Uchiha clan, he might turn around and become the biggest threat to the Uchiha clan.
The old man's intuition is very accurate.
Uchiha You is a time traveler and also an advisor to the Uchiha family. He doesn't care about the Uchiha family at all.
But he would never accept a future of genocide. After all, no egg can remain intact when the nest is overturned.
If the Uchiha family is destroyed, as one of the few remaining survivors, no matter how strong Uchiha You is, he will not be able to stop the endless harassment from the five major ninja villages and various organizations.
Unless he goes deep into the mountains and becomes a savage, completely cutting off all ties with human society.
However, pursuing tranquility and practicing in the mountains with all your heart, and being forced to hide in the mountains and not daring to see anyone, are two completely different situations, and the impact on the mentality of the cultivator is even more different.
The former is enjoyment, the latter is a dead end.
Uchiha You doesn't care about his last name, and has no sense of belonging to Konoha and the Land of Fire. He only cares about his own safety and cultivation.
He was extremely tolerant of the Uchiha clan's requests.
On the bright side, Uchiha You hopes to manage the Uchiha family well, which will become one of the foundations, or even the most important part, of his climb to the immortal path as a secular force in the ninja world.
Considering the lowest limit, all Uchiha You wants is for a large group of Uchiha to be alive and well, so that he will not become the target of concentrated fire from all the ninjas in the ninja world. It is enough for him to live a contented and peaceful life.
If the Third Hokage wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan instead of every living Uchiha, Uchiha Yuu's plan would be to actively destroy the Uchiha Clan.
He would make the Uchiha clan fall apart like the Senju clan, and even voluntarily abandon the Uchiha surname and allow this bloodline to be completely integrated into the Konoha Village.
If the Third Hokage wanted to destroy the Uchiha bloodline instead of eliminating the threat of the Uchiha family as a political group, Uchiha You's plan would be to tear apart the Uchiha family and lead some of the lower-level clan members to rebel against Konoha Village.
Uchiha You would not consider joining a small ninja village because the Uchiha family was too strong. Even if only half of the ninjas escaped, they would be stronger than the Hidden Rain Village.
The small ninja village is too weak and will be overthrown by the Uchiha clan, and become a servant of the Uchiha clan after a chaotic battle.
The Uchiha clan was unable to gain sufficient strength to resist the inevitable revenge from the Leaf Village, nor was they able to prevent the other four great ninja villages from coveting the Uchiha bloodline.
Eventually, the Uchiha clan will be torn apart by the continuous attacks and completely disappear from the ninja world.
Perhaps the Uchiha bloodline will not be cut off, but Uchiha You's purpose of hiding himself will only fail completely.
So after rebelling against Konoha Village, Uchiha You could only lead his people to one of the four major ninja villages.
The Sand Village is in decline, and its future will be even worse. It can’t take care of itself, and even dogs won’t go there.
The internal strife in the Hidden Mist Village is brutal, and it is also coveted by Uchiha Madara. The village is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save itself.
The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village are powerful and populous enough to shelter the remnants of the Uchiha clan.
Among them, Iwagakure Village is the most suitable.
The Iwagakure Village, which has few bloodline limits and excels in earth-style ninjutsu, is perfectly restrained by the lightning-style ninjutsu that is popular among its arch-rivals, the Kumogakure Village.
During the two developments of the ninja world, the Iwagakure ninjas were badly bullied by the Kumogakure ninjas on the battlefield, and could only repel the attack of the Kumogakure Village by relying on their numerical advantage and at the cost of more lives.
If the Uchiha family joined the Iwagakure Village as a whole, it would be equivalent to getting a ninja force that could defend the Kumogakure Village on its own out of thin air. The Tsuchikage Ohnoki would wake up laughing in his dreams.
The military forces in the east of Iwagakure Village have been liberated, and they can concentrate more than five times the strength to attack the Kingdom of Wind. They will definitely be able to achieve a decisive victory and even annex the Kingdom of Wind.
Ohnoki would never refuse the Uchiha family's allegiance.
