Chapter 44 How can I save Uchiha

Another thin villager pointed below himself.

"See? There's bleeding here. I just had surgery at Konoha Hospital, and I laughed my ass off just because of the way he spoke. Couldn't I mock him? I couldn't help but hit him, and he was the one who mocked me and asked me why I didn't bring sanitary pads."

"You laughed at me so hard that I broke the thread. You deserve it!"

Uchiha Yuta pursed his lips.

"I already know the reason for this."

The burly man looked aggrieved, and his not-so-small mouth curled up.

"Then we'll follow you back to the police force, right? Let's go then."

Uchiha Yuta said to him solemnly: "No! You are the victim in this matter."

After that, he looked at the skinny villager and said, "You laughed at others first, causing your own line to break. Then you mocked others, and after being mocked, you beat others. According to the rules, you have to go back to the security unit with me. Is there a problem?"

When the sturdy man saw that the security forces had no intention of arresting him, his eyes suddenly widened.

Fortunately, the skinny villager knew he was in the wrong and said angrily, "No problem, it's my fault."

Uchiha Yuta nodded and said, "In that case, I'll take you to Konoha Hospital to sew the stitches back on."

The two villagers were shocked and looked at Uchiha Yuta in disbelief.

The sturdy man had a complicated expression: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you Uchiha before."

"Yeah! Me too." As he said this, the thin villager wanted to bend down and bow to apologize, but when he bent halfway, he grimaced in pain.

Uchiha Yuta was somewhat flattered by the friendly attitude of the two villagers.

It was also the first time he had seen villagers so friendly towards them...

"It's just a misunderstanding, it's all in the past. Also, don't forget to vote for our clan leader, please!"

The skinny villager asked curiously, "Your clan leader... I remember there was no election for Hokage, right?"

Uchiha Yuta was stunned: "Ah?"

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing. It's our captain."

An unnatural look flashed across the faces of the two villagers.

The thin villager said, "Well... I'm very sorry, I voted for Yamanaka Inoichi when the election was first announced."

The strong man also had a look of regret on his face: "I met him when I was coming back from voting for Yamanaka Inari, and he mocked me..."

Uchiha Yuta's face darkened.

The skinny villager nodded and said, "Yes, he was shouting on the street before, asking everyone to support Yamanaka Inoichi. I laughed at him because I was amused by his shrill voice."

Uchiha Yuta: ...

What can I do to save Uchiha?

On another street

Uchiha Takuma looked at the hunched back not far ahead, struggling violently in his heart and unable to make up his mind.

He kept comforting himself in his heart.

All this is for Uchiha! For the 'clan leader' to become Hokage!

"Shh!"

Uchiha Takuma appeared in front of the old lady in an instant.

The old lady was frightened by him and took a half step back.

"What are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong."

Uchiha Takuma forced an ugly smile on his face.

"Grandma, can I help you over there?"

"No! Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch me! I'm lying on the ground!"

Uchiha Takuma: ...

Sure enough!

Doing this kind of thing is more painful than killing him.

His face turned red and he ran away in embarrassment.

Uchiha Takuma returned to his clan's territory.

The Uchiha elder looked at him and asked, "Takuma, why are you back?"

"I'm not going. Anyway, the other tribesmen are enough, and they don't need me."

It's not a pleasant feeling to be rejected, let alone the embarrassing situation just now.

He has already developed a psychological trauma from this.

The elder sighed and said, "Looking at your expression, I know what you've been through. Were you rejected and hated by others?"

Uchiha Takuma gritted his teeth: "Yes..."

"Those ignorant villagers! How dare they reject the Uchiha's kindness!"

The elder shook his head and said, "Takuma, you must overcome the difficulties. If Uchiha wants to become Hokage, he must change the villagers' attitude towards us."

Uchiha Takuma slumped to the ground.

"I feel like this is harder than fighting people on the battlefield. Let others change their attitudes. I won't do that again anyway!"

The experience just now really embarrassed him.

"Takuma, do you want an Uchiha to become Hokage?"

"Of course I thought about it!"

The elder said solemnly: "Then you must do these!"

Seeing the elder's serious look, Uchiha Takuma stood up and asked, "Is there a reason why I must go?"

"Yes, you have a reason to go."

The elder explained: "Because the most important thing in the agreement is the change of the clan and the attitude of the villagers towards the clan. The other things are not important. Sarutobi Hiruzen's move is an open conspiracy."

"Conspiracy?"

Uchiha Takuma murmured.

"Yes, a month is enough time for people to get used to something, including the Uchiha's attitude towards the villagers. Do you think there are no inside stories in the voting for the Hokage? No, there must be. If a clan cannot do something that satisfies the Konoha high-level officials, the number of votes will never exceed Yamanaka Inoichi. Do you believe this?"

"And if we want Fugaku to become the Hokage, we must let the villagers see an Uchiha that is centered on the village and the villagers, and let them get familiar with this new Uchiha in this month. This requires the clan members to make the choice."

"Although Shinobi is old, don't forget that he has been the Hokage for his entire life. It's not surprising that he can think of this kind of boiling frog strategy to make the Uchiha integrate into the village."

Uchiha Takuma looked horrified.

"Is this true? This kind of strategy... How is this possible! He is clearly playing everyone in his hands!"

The elder smiled and said, "Why do you think those two old guys suddenly don't object to Uchiha being Hokage? Isn't it because an Uchiha who integrates into the village is what the previous Hokage want to see the most? If it can be done, what's the harm in giving Uchiha a Hokage?"

Uchiha Takuma looked confused.

"Then... even if the Uchiha really did it, what if the village regrets it?"

The elder asked in return, “What will you do if the village goes back on its word?”

"I will make Konoha pay the price!"

"Do you think the village wants to see such consequences?"

At this moment, Uchiha Takuma realized.

"These days, I have figured out a lot of things. If Uchiha does not integrate into the village, he will not be recognized by others. Even if the coup is successful, he will not be able to become Hokage."

"So, force yourself to do things you don't want to do, Takuma! Once you take this difficult first step, you will find that things are much simpler than you thought. Just like Itachi said, radical members of the tribe who are dissatisfied and want a coup will drag all the tribe members to be buried with their dissatisfaction."

Uchiha Takuma fell into deep thought.

But in just a moment, he made a choice in his heart.

Uchiha Takuma said to the elders solemnly: "I understand, elders, I will definitely make Lord Fugaku the Hokage!"
