Chapter 222 How to save Uchiha?
To be honest, it would be too easy for the Third Generation and the Advisory Group to resolve this Uchiha issue peacefully.

And no matter what, the Uchiha clan is the founder of Konoha, so what's wrong with him becoming a CEO now? Is this request too much?

If you want to say that Uchiha is always crazy and not suitable to be Hokage, this is not a good reason.

Uchiha Itachi is generally quite normal. He has the strength and intelligence. Isn't he worthy of being a Hokage?
After all, everyone is selfish, and the Hokage lineage has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become an unspoken rule.

To put it more extremely, even if you are Orochimaru's disciple, you still have the possibility to run for Hokage, but if you have nothing to do with the Hokage lineage, sorry, but stand aside.

Let's look at the Uchiha side. The Uchiha themselves also have problems. Why do they have to be so desperate and want to stay in Konoha?

The Uchiha clan has been a world-famous clan since the Warring States Period. Now that the Senju clan has declined, it has never been that the Uchiha clan cannot do without Konoha, but rather that Konoha cannot do without the Uchiha clan.

Just look at the original story, what was the strength of Konoha before the Uchiha clan was exterminated? When the Ninja World War broke out, one clan would fight against several clans without any hesitation.

After the Uchiha were gone, even the Sound Village created by Orochimaru dared to join forces with the Sand Village to carry out a plan to destroy Konoha.

Are the Sand Village idiots? They sent out Gaara's force, did they really think they could destroy Konoha?

In fact, it did cause considerable losses to Konoha.

This situation would never have happened when all members of the Uchiha clan were still alive. Isn't it that other ninja villages also think that Konoha is weak and easy to bully?

The Uchiha clan has never figured out their own position or where their bargaining chips are.

And even if we talk about the worst strategic rebellion, they did it very badly. They held meetings every day but kept the secret very poorly, and it was almost like they were writing rebellion on their faces.

And they really just... held meetings, which were full of entanglement and procrastination. If they really fought, their deaths would not be so miserable.

"Senior, in your opinion, what should the Uchiha clan do if they want to survive now?"

Itachi asked for advice. His mind was in a mess anyway. If he hadn't met Lu Li today, he would have been ready to go back and massacre his entire clan.

"There are three options, top, middle and bottom. It depends on which one you choose."

Lu Li said that there were too many ways to solve the Uchiha clan's problems. Oh, mainly because he had seen too many of them in the comment section of the space.

"Three more strategies?"

Itachi was a little surprised, not because he was not calm enough, but because he had been racking his brains for days and couldn't figure out how to break the impasse. He felt that the situation was hopeless and he had to start killing people.

After being surprised, he looked at Lu Li sincerely and said, "Senior, please tell me the best strategy first."

Since he wanted to ask for advice, he certainly wanted to hear the best solution.

"There are three strategies, the best, the middle and the worst. In fact, they don't conflict with each other. I just said it casually. You just need to listen to it."

Lu Li smiled and said, "The best strategy is for you Uchiha to give up the idea of ​​running for Hokage. What's so good about that crappy position? To put it bluntly, the bottom line of wanting to be Hokage is still for money and power. The Hokage may not be the only one who gets these."

Itachi's heart moved after hearing Lu Li's words. He suddenly felt that what his senior said made sense. Why were the clan members so angry now? Was it just because they had never become Hokage?

It doesn't seem so. If their Uchiha clan had the same treatment as the Hyuga clan, the richest family in Konoha, they wouldn't be so angry.

The main thing is that he just got a crappy security guard job and was ostracized and looked down upon in the village. He had no power and no money. How could the proud and arrogant Uchiha tolerate this?

"But if the upper echelons of Konoha don't give up their power, we can't become Hokage. Where do we get the power and money?"

Itachi asked in confusion, if the family had power and money, they would certainly not think of rebelling.

"Itachi, you have to know that true power is never given by others, but taken by yourself."

Lu Li said meaningfully, he knew Itachi was not someone who was so easily fooled, if the other party was not really desperate, he would never listen to what a traitor like him said.

But the reason why he was able to trigger this hidden mission was because Itachi had indeed reached a major decision point in his life and was in great pain and confusion, so he seized the opportunity to intervene.

Lu Li himself is not very interested in saving the Uchiha, but of course he will do it if there is benefit. Moreover, it can allow his favorite characters in the original work to survive, and then disrupt the entire world to gain a huge amount of exploration points, which makes him very motivated.

"Take it yourself? Do you have any good ideas, senior?"

When Itachi asked this question, he didn't actually have much hope in his heart, because he felt that Senior Calamity had himself fallen into the trap of being framed and defecting from Konoha, and he might not be much smarter than himself.

"Method? You must first understand your own value, Itachi."

Lu Li looked at Itachi's Sharingan and said, "Your family's bloodline limit is first-rate in the entire ninja world. Going back to the Warring States period, only the Senju clan could be on par with you. How come you have fallen to the point where you are looked down upon even as a security guard?"

Itachi fell into deep thought after hearing this. Lu Li's straightforward words made him seem to understand the hawkish thinking of his father and his people. Indeed, how could the Uchiha be so powerful and just work as security guards in Konoha?
"Isn't it easy to want financial power? You need to open up your horizons."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"The pattern... is open?"

Itachi repeated the words, a little confused.

"It's easy to consolidate your position in Konoha. Don't your families practice marriage? Why do you want to ensure that all the bloodlines of the Uchiha clan are within the family? The Sharingan is very powerful, but not all members of the Uchiha clan can open it, right? Without your guidance, the level of the Uchiha born outside would probably be just that."

Lu Li smiled and said, "But would other families think so? They wouldn't, right? Because your family's Sharingan is world-famous."

Itachi seemed to understand Lu Li's meaning after hearing this, "Senior, are you trying to say... let us use our bloodline as a bargaining chip to marry into the major families and gain political status?"

Lu Li nodded, thinking that Itachi was indeed smart and understood it immediately. "That's right, Itachi, you know very well whether the general Sharingan is strong or not. I don't know what kind of eye technique yours is, but I guess you can kill most of the Uchiha by yourself, right? So even if the bloodline leaks out, it will not be a threat to your family."

He looked at Itachi who was lost in thought and continued, "And the other families want your Sharingan so badly. They don't know how weak the Sharingan is. They only want to introduce new bloodline limits to strengthen the family. Once you marry into the major families of Konoha, your political status will immediately rise. At least Konoha will never dare to say that it wants to destroy the ambitious Uchiha. After all, one move can affect the entire body."

Itachi pondered and said, "If Konoha takes action against the Uchiha family, it will cause turmoil in Konoha, so we are safe for the time being?"

He suddenly realized that the strategy mentioned by his predecessor was really feasible. It would not only protect the safety of the Uchiha clan, but also help them gain a stronger political position.

Since ancient times, marriages have always been a strong political bond, and the Uchiha clan's bloodline itself is an interest. The bond of blood and interests makes there no alliance more solid than this.

Once the Uchiha clan intermarries with other clans, they will be truly integrated into Konoha's upper echelons and will no longer be so hostile, and it will not be difficult for them to get fair and just voting rights.

"Temporary safety? That's too small. Don't you want wealth and power?"

Seeing that Itachi had relaxed and no longer had a fighting stance, Lu Li casually found a broken tree stump on the ground and sat down. "Marriage with the major clans is only one of the options, but in my opinion, you can open up a little more."

"Open it again?"

Itachi's face was filled with confusion, Lu Li's proposal just now had broken through the Uchiha family's thousand-year-old way of thinking. He was surprised to find that they had never thought of marrying with a foreign race before, which was simply too strange.

You know, although the bloodline family pays great attention to preventing the flow of their own bloodline, it is normal for powerful families to marry each other, just like when the first Hokage married a wife from the Uzumaki clan, it was because the Uzumaki clan was very powerful at that time and their sealing techniques were famous all over the world.

In Konoha, intermarriages between the various powerful families were common, but the Uchiha had never participated in one before, which made them seem out of place.

Now that I think about it, it is true. The major families are intermarried, and blood and interests are bound together. After years of development in Konoha, the high-level circle has been established, but their Uchiha family does not intermarry. It's like they are showing their attitude that they don't want to play with other families.

With such policies and strategies, how could their family not be marginalized?

But when he heard Lu Li say that the situation could be further expanded, he couldn't think of how else to do this. In his opinion, the marriage was already a brilliant move.

If he could convince his father after returning, the bloody disaster of the Uchiha clan could be averted.

"I just said that your bloodline limit is famous all over the world, and the people you want are not limited to Konoha."

Lu Li said, "The women in your family can also marry outside the family. Even more so, the men in your family can go out and sell seeds publicly. I believe the small countries around us, and even the families in the five major countries, will be tempted."

Itachi was stunned at first, then frowned a little, "Isn't this bad?"

He still has his heart set on Konoha, and feels that if the Uchiha family's bloodline were to flow abroad, it would become aid to the enemy, and Konoha would certainly not be happy to see this happen.

After thinking for a while, he added: "Let's not talk about the small countries. How could the Kages of the big countries just sit there and watch this happen? Aren't they afraid that the wealthy families in the village will get too close to the Uchiha clan? Or that the women who marry into the clan will become spies."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "That's impossible. Just look at Konoha and you'll know. The Hokage doesn't have the final say on everything. To put it bluntly, the Hokage is just a person in charge pushed out by the interest groups of Konoha. Unless he can suppress the entire Konoha by himself, he still has to consider the opinions of the interest groups. Itachi, do you think those big families will resist the temptation and not accept your seeds?"

Itachi was silent. He was a smart man and quickly figured out the key.

Yes, this is an open conspiracy. The problem only lies in Konoha's attitude. It is impossible for other countries to stop the Uchiha family from spreading seeds, because the interest groups under the management of the Kage want them all!
"But...if we really do this, Konoha will probably be very angry, right? Maybe they will directly start the Uchiha clan extermination plan."

Itachi said doubtfully that he didn't think it was dirty for his tribe members to sell seeds or something like that. He could only say that he had seen too many dirty things, and it was nothing for the men in the tribe to go out and sell seeds or something like that in the eyes of a ninja.

Anyway, as far as he knew, some older brothers in their tribe often went to brothel shops. If they were allowed to go out and sell seeds and earn money, they would probably be happy.

He just felt that Senior Lu Li's so-called more open-minded approach was a bit too radical and risky.

"So you have to stabilize your position in Konoha first, so that the Hokage can't do anything to you..."

Lu Li paused at this point, causing Itachi to become anxious.
