"And while my Nara Clan is very stable, my position is quite awkward, so I naturally have to think about the future."
"What if I lie low my whole life? What if I get stronger?"
"There will never be a place for me in the Nara Clan of Konoha; Nara Shikaku won't give me a chance."
"Now, I've found you."
"After this period of interaction, I'm betting you can make something of yourself."
"I'm betting you can have the strength of Hashirama Senju and the cunning of Tobirama Senju!"
Chapter 35: Uchiha Jin's Heart Is Stirred, Nara Kazama's Scheme
Uchiha Jin listened to Nara Kazama's words, dumbfounded.
Good heavens!
He was only thinking about how to survive the Uchiha Clan Downfall, and this guy was already considering the safety of his descendants.
Truly worthy of a Nara; his considerations were indeed far-sighted.
However.
After careful thought, even he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Nara Kazama's considerations were correct; his previous plans had been somewhat one-sided.
Under the current threat of death and clan extermination, he hadn't considered too much for the time being.
But, what about the future?
Just as Nara Kazama said, could he really go his entire life without marrying and having children?
Reproduction was an instinct.
Did he really not like women?
Nonsense!
Although he lived in a peaceful era in his previous life, the high bride price made him, a corporate slave, powerless.
Now reborn into this world, was he to remain single his entire life?
Absolutely not!
He knew very well in his heart that once he was completely settled, he would definitely look for a wife and get married.
So, the problem arose.
After he married and had children, could he truly protect his wife and children for a lifetime?
Impossible!
Even without considering after he passed away, simply while he was alive, he couldn't stay home 24 hours a day.
In this chaotic world, he also had to face enemies and kill at any time.
And after he left, what would happen to his wife and children?
Therefore.
In fact, from beginning to end, he only had one choice.
That was to establish his own power, only then could he protect his family.
Wasn't that the purpose of the clans in the Warring States period and the various villages in the Shinobi World today?
Having understood this point, he looked at Nara Kazama again, his gaze beginning to change.
He had to admit it.
The Nara Clan's minds were truly formidable; despite being the same age as him, they could think so far ahead.
Even he, having lived two lives, was slightly inferior.
From this perspective, this was a very good ally.
Thinking of this, he spoke softly.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
"Although I still can't quite understand why you trust me, an Uchiha, so much."
"But, it doesn't matter."
"You've convinced me. Can we discuss your ideas for now?"
Yes.
Although it was a bit early to talk about this now, after all, they were both just twelve-year-old boys.
But Nara Kazama was right; the earlier one planned for such things, the better.
So he was genuinely curious about how Nara Kazama was calculating things in his heart.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Hearing Uchiha Jin's nod, Nara Kazama finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes became serious, showing no sign of having drunk alcohol, and then he spoke with a solemn expression.
"First, the Uchiha are very strong."
"Although Uchiha clan members have more or less problems, they are undeniably a powerful asset."
"The current Uchiha are not doing well simply because Clan Head Fugaku is too foolish and lacks any leadership ability."
"Regarding the Uchiha side, I can't say much because my understanding is too limited."
"But I believe Jin-kun, you definitely have a way. So the Uchiha side still depends on you. Find a way to win over everyone you can and build a force that completely obeys your commands."
"The Ino-Shika-Cho three clans, I'm familiar with this area."
"I know many clan members who have been suppressed, feared, or even secretly dealt with."
"I will find a way to win them over, so they can truly join our faction."
"As for the commoners, I believe Kudo Shin can handle it."
"His character and abilities are fine; he's just too weak right now."
"Once he truly becomes strong, he will naturally become our asset."
"There are also the Aburame, Inuzuka, and so on…"
"In fact, every faction is pretty much the same; they all have many dissenting voices internally, similar to your Uchiha side, at most just varying in degree."
"As long as we can utilize them well, we can win over a group of people."
"We are too young; we have enough time to plan. When our faction truly takes shape…"
"If we want to get rid of Sarutobi Hiruzen and take power, we can also win over a group of people who resent the Third Hokage's faction, as Root has continuously recruited people from various clans, gaining a large number of followers."
"Even if the rest don't join, I have a way to make them neutral."
"Furthermore, to take a step back."
"Even if we feel this move is a bit risky, we can gradually find ways to transfer the people we've recruited over the years out of Konoha and hide them."
"There are many ways: dying on missions, being ambushed by enemies, and so on…"
"There are too many reasons!"
"Especially during wartime, we can evacuate them in batches."
"As long as the number of people we recruit is large enough, and there are enough strong individuals, Konoha wouldn't dare to truly deal with us."
"Otherwise, even if they could destroy us, the remaining Konoha wouldn't be able to withstand the Four Great Shinobi Villages."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't foolish; he wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
"Of course, this is just a rough plan; if we actually implement it, we'll slowly refine it."
"But broadly following this model, I think there shouldn't be a big problem."
Uchiha Jin closed his eyes in contemplation.
He had to admit it.
If this plan could truly be executed strictly, then they could, in the fastest time, establish a force no weaker than Konoha.
However, damn it.
This was digging at Konoha's Roots!
If this matter were exposed, both of them would be dead.
Thinking of this.
His gaze towards Nara Kazama instantly became extremely complex.
But, at the same time.
