Chapter 11: The Second Step I Want to Take
The relocation of a ninja clan with a population of thousands.
Originally, it was extremely time-consuming and laborious, not to mention that there are now more than a dozen ninja clans, plus ordinary civilians, and nearly 100,000 people have to change their residences. Even if Konoha has made all preparations, it still took more than half a year from the initial infrastructure project to the final relocation, although there were slight deviations in the actual operation.
However, the Uchiha clan's residence is still the same as the original plan.
They were arranged to the most remote geographical location in the west of Konohagakure Village. The triangular areas of the east, south, and north are distributed with ninja clans such as Kazesai, Ise, Aburame, Gekko, Inuzuka, Akimichi, etc. These ninja clans seem to be no match for the Uchiha clan in terms of their strength, but after uniting, even as strong as the Uchiha clan, with no one openly possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan, they will be beaten and destroyed by these ninja clans.
In the area where these ninja clans are located.
Even if it seems to be at a certain distance from the Uchiha clan.
But as long as you observe, you can see that two families are closely connected, and then perfectly connected. With the "品" formation, the Uchiha clan is surrounded in the central area. Ordinary members of the Uchiha clan naturally cannot understand this meaning.
But those clansmen who are slightly more skilled can see the danger in this arrangement.
This is also the most stimulating point for the Uchiha clan.
Because they are completely treated as "quasi-prisoners.".
It can be said that this relocation has deeply pierced the hearts of almost all Uchiha clan members. The only consolation is that this relocation allows the clan's residence to be closer to their forbidden area, the Naka Shrine.
Probably, some of the ordinary clan members did not realize the difference here, and there are even clan members who feel happy after moving to a new home, living in a more spacious house, and being closer to their shrine.
For the different emotions of these clan members.
Masashi saw them all, and to be honest, he still felt a little disappointed and helpless about his family members.
It is indeed normal for a clan to feel dissatisfied and angry because of suspicion and isolation.
It is not surprising that ordinary clan members express their emotions, but there are few reliable adults in the clan. At least in Masashi's opinion, they all don't know how to control their facial expressions, right?
The real scheming people.
Except for the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, there are only a few elders of the Uchiha clan headed by Uchiha Yasuharu. Most of the remaining clan members not only vent their emotions at secret clan meetings but also express dissatisfaction with the village in their daily lives.
Masashi even suspected that if Uchiha Fugaku had not repeatedly and severely stated in the clan meeting that no one was allowed to talk about any "coup" outside, these "idiot clan members" might have directly said, "Once the village wants to do this, we will do this!"
It must be said that the pride deep in the bones of the Uchiha clan is real.
But the idiot attribute is simply unparalleled.
From this point of view, it is no wonder that Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke all show different degrees of "brain water" postures. This is a genetic inheritance?
Ordinary clansmen are likely less "ill.".
These few are typical of "terminally ill"?
It is precisely because of this observation over the past six months that Masashi further concluded that he could not contact his clansmen at will. God knows whether these idiots will directly "sell" him, not to say betrayal or something.
The Uchiha clan is so big.
At least from the original work, until the night of the extermination, the only real traitor was Uchiha Itachi, and Shisui could not even be counted as half a traitor. If it were not for Danzo being too insidious and cruel, as long as Shisui was alive, the Uchiha clan would not necessarily reach that point.
So, strictly speaking, except for Uchiha Itachi, the remaining people of the Uchiha clan can almost be believed to support the interests of the clan. Masashi is not worried about the "loyalty" of these people, but only about their brains.
Therefore, after various observations and repeated attempts over the past six months,
Masashi had to give up most of the target people.
He only selected three or four most reliable people to slowly contact. Even so, Masashi did not reveal his plans and goals but explained his intentions in stages. The core is naturally to let the clan break free from the current predicament and let the Uchiha get the status and treatment they deserve. This is the core idea.
No changes can be made!
Not to mention that this was originally one of the real goals of Masashi.
Even if it is not, he must raise the banner of fighting for the interests of the clan in the early stage of winning the hearts of the people. Otherwise, he can't even gather the hearts of the people, so how can he talk about the next plan?
The core theme is this.
Specific plans, Masashi said more abstractly and generally.
Including but not limited to making himself stronger, trying to win the support of other ninja clans for their Uchiha clan, and this is one of the plans that Masashi said after thinking again and again. It is not that Masashi himself is hesitant, but that these plans are just Masashi's backup plans.
Masashi's real plan is always only two.
One is internal.
One is external.
Because everything is just at the beginning, without any basic preparation, it is difficult for him to tell his friends about his core plan.
And it is also when he intends to try to take the first step in his second stage plan.
The news of another secret meeting in the clan gave Masashi a good opportunity at this stage.
"Ah? Elder Yasuharu, what do you mean? Is this clan meeting going to discuss the transfer of relevant personnel to the northeastern border area?"
On the way to the clan's forbidden area, Nanhe Shrine, Masashi, who was deliberately looking for Uchiha Yasuharu, asked his doubts without any concealment when the elder of his lineage appeared.
He didn't expect the news to be so unexpected.
The Hidden Cloud Village took the initiative to mobilize heavy troops to concentrate on the border between the two countries.
This is not good news for the Hidden Leaf Village!
