Chapter 189 Everyone adds firewood and the flames rise
"If you want to make me betray Konoha through words, then please don't say any more."
In Luo Sha's study, Fugaku's face turned cold and he was ready to say goodbye.
"Do I look that stupid?"
Luo Sa's words stopped Fugaku, who had already turned and walked towards the door.
“The relationship between the family and the village is both prosperous and destructive.
This is a simple truth that any family ninja from the five major ninja villages understands. "
Luo Sha was still sitting at the table in his study, rubbing a gold coin in his hand.
He raised his head, looked at Fugaku, and continued:
“But you, the Uchiha clan, are an exception because you are too powerful.
The Senju clan, whose talents have withered, is no longer able to form a check and balance on your strength within Konoha.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if your clan is imprisoned in the cage of the police force, the top management of Konoha can barely trust you now.
There’s no need for me to say more about these things, you all understand, don’t you?”
After hearing what Luo Sha said, Fugaku frowned slightly and said:
“Everything has been moving in a good direction since the war ended.
The newly appointed fourth generation showed enough goodwill to the Uchiha clan, and the third generation also put aside past prejudices because of our clan's performance in the war."
When Fugaku said this, he was the first to fall silent.
Because he knew very well that this was just history repeating itself.
When Uchiha Madara left Konoha, no one in the Uchiha clan followed him.
The first generation of Hand Blade Madara died of illness a few years later in the prime of life due to serious injuries.
After the Second Hokage took office, wasn't it also because the Uchiha clan chose to be loyal to Konoha and assigned the responsibilities of the police force to the family?
After the First Ninja War, because of the untimely death of Uchiha Mirror, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just ascended to the position of the Third Hokage, also had a honeymoon period with the Uchiha clan for a period of time.
And now, Minato Namikaze also had a good impression of the Uchiha clan because of Uchiha Obito, who was regarded by the family as a "bridge to communicate with the higher-ups." That young man with mediocre qualifications in Fugaku's impression.
It can be said that in the early days when the previous Hokage came to power, they tried to win over the Uchiha clan to some extent.
But who can guarantee that Namikaze Minato will not be the next Senju Tobirama or Sarutobi Hiruzen?
If the essence of human beings is a repeater, then the history of mankind is the same script being performed repeatedly by batches of people.
The thousand-year battle between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan is like this; the ninja war that breaks out every ten years in the ninja world is like this; the history of Konoha's internal history for nearly fifty years is also like this.
"I said this morning, what I need is friendship.
We all need each other’s friendship, don’t we?”
“Friendship instead of trade?”
Facing the somewhat confused Fugaku, Luo Sha smiled.
"Maybe you think it's ridiculous. We are all ninjas. In the world of ninjas, as a Kazekage, I am talking about friendship with the leader of the Uchiha clan."
Luo Sha stood up, looked up at the map of the ninja world hanging on the wall of his study, and said:
"I am a self-aware person. As a Kazekage, my voice in the ninja world is completely incomparable to the golden flash of your village, or the retired Shinobu.
You and I both know what the so-called alliance between Sunagakure Village and Konoha is.
In a way, I'm just like you.
You lead the Uchiha clan, and within Konoha, you clearly have the strongest ninja in Konoha, but you still have not entered the inner circle of Konoha's top leaders.
As a Kazekage, because of my defeat in the war, I had to succumb to Konoha and pay a large amount of war compensation every year. Once Konoha asked for assistance, the Sand Ninja under my command had to die for the former enemy.
I can agree to your previous request. "
Rasa's promise made Fugaku even more confused:
Facing his suspicious eyes, Luo Sha said calmly:
"Because what I want is not war. Relying on war to overturn Konoha's position as the leader of the five ninja villages has been proven by time and reality to be stupid.
Even if it finally comes true, it won't be Sunagakure Village that benefits. "
"Then what exactly do you want?"
"You and I are in a similar situation and have the same purpose.
You want to pass on the family smoothly, and I also want to let Sunagakure Village recover from the losses caused by the war and recuperate.
The future will be left to the next generation. Maybe in my lifetime, I won’t see the day when Sunagakure Village rises and even surpasses Konoha.
But who can say for sure that in the future of our Sand Hidden Village, there won’t be a genius Kazekage who fulfills the long-cherished wish of all generations of Kazekages.”
At this moment, Luo Sha was almost moved by his own words. He remembered the expectation and entrustment in the third generation's eyes when he came into contact with the remaining chakra.
He thought of the future he saw from Torogamaru, the calm and courageous young man with red hair.
However, when I heard Luo Sha mention the next generation in her words, especially when Luo Sha's tone was filled with fascinating confidence.
Fugaku's heart was unmoved, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
"So what do you mean by friendship?"
"Watch and help each other. Everything I do now is just to protect myself.
You have seen everything that happened today, that organization called Akatsuki, they took away Orochimaru, Orochimaru is alive, must have some agenda.
And before that, they accommodated my sand ninja, the rebellious ninja Red Sand Scorpion.
Although the war has temporarily ended, there are still many people who do not yearn for peace in their hearts like our five major ninja villages. "
Fugaku listened to Luo Sha's words and nodded silently.
Although deep down he didn't think that the organization called Akatsuki would pose much of a threat to the ninja world.
But these things are not issues that his Uchiha Guards need to consider.
"Then, on behalf of the Uchiha clan, I am willing to work with Sunagakure Village to help each other."
The two middle-aged men held hands together.
It was late at night, and Luo Sha was still sitting in his study.
Garuru came in with a cup of hot tea and placed the cup on her husband's desk.
She looked at Luo Sha, who was still deep in thought, with some confusion, and asked:
"Is the Uchiha clan worth betting on them?"
Luo Sha took his wife's hand, smiled and said:
“Konoha’s peaceful days will not last long.
The war between Uchiha and Konoha's top brass will eventually ignite.
What I did was just add a piece of wood to the fire. "
