If it were any teenager who said this in front of Fugaku, Fugaku would think the other party was joking.
The situation of Uchiha, that is the suppression of the whole Konoha, even he, the patriarch, has no way to do anything, the clansmen are about to want a coup.
If there was another way, could they have gotten this far?
To be honest, Konoha has never trusted them Uchiha, even if they did not choose to leave with the patriarch Madara.
It was better in First Generation.
By the time Second Hokage came to power, the other party had been prejudiced against Uchiha.
Uchiha has never achieved the same status as Senju, or even close.
Not even getting the same treatment as Hyuga. Although Uchiha is one of the pioneers of Konoha, he has always been excluded from the inner circle.
After all, everyone except First Hokage didn't trust Uchiha.
If it wasn't for the strength of First Hokage, who forcibly subdued the Senju clan, Uchiha would not have merged with Konoha at all.
It is such a bad historical environment, Uchiha's current situation is almost inevitable.
Under the situation of being suppressed in the past few years, Fugaku has figured out a lot of things, but the more he thinks about it, the more desperate he becomes.
It's just that Xia Feng's strength and the sense of oppression brought Fugaku can only listen to it like a life-saving straw.
Of course, as the patriarch of a large clan, his performance would not be so urgent.
He just pondered silently for a moment, and then nodded thinking about Xia Feng.
"If you can really save the current Uchiha, you will gain Uchiha's eternal friendship."
This is Fugaku's promise, and Uchiha's pride means their promise will never be broken.
"it is good."
Facing Fugaku's promise, Xia Feng's face was calm.
In the previous plan, Uchiha was an important part, but now, after his strength is reached, Uchiha's importance is not so high.
But Xia Feng still chose to come to Uchiha.
Because Uchiha is very useful, he only needs Hokage's fame and Konoha's status, Hokage's job he can't do.
He is a steady hands-off shopkeeper.
By that time, someone must be helping him with the village and the outside world.
A single Hyuga is definitely not enough, Uchiha is a very useful little brother.
Whether it is Fugaku now, Shisui who has grown up, Itachi who is growing up, and Sasuke who has not grown up, they are very useful in terms of strength and ability.
And unlike the high-level, Xia Feng knows that this group of people is completely loyal to the village, and to extreme situations.
Fugaku was able to face death without resistance, and between the village and Uchiha, he clearly chose the village over Uchiha.
Shisui, Itachi are all, Sasuke is considered a back bone, but it doesn't matter, the two pillars that grow in a normal environment can't be as extreme as they were later.
So that no one will bother him with the village's bullshit in the future, he must accept Uchiha.
Coincidentally, Third Generation has already suppressed Uchiha to a certain extent, and now Uchiha is on the verge of a coup.
Xia Feng delivered charcoal in the snow, just enough to pick peaches.
If this was just after the end of the Third World War, I am afraid that Uchiha still had certain illusions about the high-level, and the effect would not be as good as it is now.
Closer to home, Xia Feng also stated the purpose of his trip like Fugaku.
"Does Chief Fugaku know that Cloud Shinobi has dispatched troops?"
"I heard something."
Fugaku said, after all, Uchiha still has a certain power in the village, not to mention that Cloud Shinobi did not hide it at all.
The entire ninja world has probably spread the word.
News that Cloud Shinobi is about to engage in a massive battle with Konoha.
"Do you think Konoha has a chance of winning this war?" Xia Feng continued to ask.
"If it's all out, even after the Nine Tails invasion, the village will naturally have a chance of winning. Even if Cloud Shinobi deploys all of its strength, Konoha will be able to gain the upper hand."
"But in this situation, Konoha will lose."
Fugaku analyzed: "The loss caused by the Nine Tails invasion is huge, and the death of Fourth Hokage sends a signal to the outside world that Konoha is weakened, and without Nine Tails Jinchūriki, Fourth Hokage is gone."
"Sand Shinobi, Rock Shinobi, Mist Shinobi all moved."
"It's just that Sand Shinobi lost too much in the third battle. Rock Shinobi went through the problems of Fourth Generation and Third Raikage. Mid-tier ninjas suffered heavy casualties. Mist Shinobi is very likely to attack Konoha."
"In this case, it is impossible for the village to use all its strength to deal with Cloud Shinobi, let alone the current internal environment of the village, which is worse than Ultimate."
Fugaku's analysis makes sense.
Under normal circumstances, Cloud Shinobi sent troops, and if Mist Shinobi hadn't caused a blood fog because of Obito's pot, Konoha would now be facing Mist Shinobi plus Cloud Shinobi.
"What do you think Uchiha is missing now?"
Facing Xia Feng's question, Fugaku was silent, and after a while he gave the answer in a serious and somewhat painful tone: "The villagers' approval."
Not fame, power, status, but recognition.
This is what the Uchiha clan yearns for the most.
It is said that the Senju family of love, in fact, the emotional Senju are often very rational when faced with choices.
On the contrary, it is the Uchiha family, which is said to be extreme, but in fact it is emotional to the ultimate.
Xia Feng said that you are welcome, no matter how strong Uchiha's people are in the original work, they are just like children who lack love.
Why does Uchiha want the position of Hokage, because he admires the recognition that Hokage brings.
In the conversation between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi in the original book, Fugaku's tendency to regard protecting Konoha as Uchiha's glory can already be imagined.
"I can help you gain recognition and the status Uchiha deserves, as long as you do your best to help me."
Xia Feng looked at Fugaku seriously.
"How to get recognized?"
Fugaku didn't rush to agree. He was carrying the entire Uchiha family, so he naturally wanted to hear whether Xia Feng's plan was feasible.
"Follow me to participate in the war with Cloud Shinobi, defeat Cloud Shinobi in one fell swoop, win this almost inevitable war, and return to the village with a great victory."
"When the time comes, I will fully support me as Hokage. Of course, I don't value the so-called power, I just need that fame and status, and then all the power will be delegated to you Uchiha and Hyuga."
