Akimichi Goumaru had a face full of regret.
Because the Ino-Shika-Cho three families had the Nara clan, the strongest brain, the internal atmosphere of the families was actually quite harmonious, with almost no examples of fighting over money.
The reward and punishment rules set within the family were also almost all set by the Nara clan, so maximum fairness could be guaranteed.
So.
Due to this relatively relaxed internal situation, the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans rarely had internal friction, and everyone had little interest in fighting for power and profit. On the contrary, it would be more tiring after truly taking power.
Especially the Nara clan, which was actually even stranger.
In every generation's battle for the head of the family, the winner could slack off, while the loser assumed the position of the head of the family.
And in this generation.
Nara Shikakui was the one who finally won, thus gaining the qualification to slack off, while the loser, Nara Shikaku, could only go to work bitterly at the Hokage Building every day.
But, unfortunately.
Because of the sudden rise of the Uchiha, Shikakui, who was slacking off in the family, was also forced to come out and work again.
"Alright, stop complaining!"
"Shikaku and the other two, I don't think they can stay idle."
"I vaguely feel that Uchiha Jin has a big plan; otherwise, there is no need to boil the frog in warm water like this, slowly seizing the authority of the Konoha higher-ups step by step..."
"After all, regarding the battle a few nights ago, Inoichi has already obtained the true situation."
"So many ronin, missing-nin from various villages, plus fifteen Root squads, and an Anbu battalion, were easily strangled by Uchiha Jin in the end..."
"If Danzo wasn't still useful for the time being, he would probably have died that day!"
"So from this point of view, Uchiha Jin's purpose is simple. He doesn't want to lose too much of Konoha's strength. Otherwise, wouldn't he just kill Danzo a few days ago and find an opportunity to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen directly?"
"Do you still think Shikaku and the others can stay idle now?"
"After the Uchiha completely succeed in seizing power, even if Shikaku and the others are not trusted in the future, they will probably be busier than us."
Nara Shikakui's tone was lazy.
He was a person even lazier than Nara Shikaku, but similarly, he was smarter than Nara Shikaku, and his strength was also a line stronger than Nara Shikaku.
Actually.
Ever since Yamanaka Inoichi quietly entered the Intelligence Division, found those guys who died in battle that day, and used the Yamanaka secret technique to extract the battle situation of that day, an internal meeting had been opened within Ino-Shika-Cho.
Nara Shikakui advocated for Ino-Shika-Cho to defect to the Uchiha collectively. After all, the Uchiha's advantage was already obvious, and the ninja world was ultimately a world where strength spoke.
The Uchiha's tyranny had already been proven!
Especially—Uchiha Jin!
His conventional combat power was terrifying, and his posture when opening the Mangekyou gave people a desperate thought, a living replica of Uchiha Madara.
Even though all ninja clans wanted to get rid of limit-breaking ninja clans like the Senju and Uchiha, the problem was that this kind of thing also needed to wait for the right time, and the Uchiha side had obviously completely lost the opportunity to make a move.
Then for survival, one should attach to the strong!
But, unfortunately.
Now Nara Shikaku was the Clan Head, and Shikaku considered things too steadily, wanting to do everything perfectly.
So, forget it.
He couldn't be bothered to say more, and just obeyed the Clan Head's order.
Anyway, Ino-Shika-Cho in the future would at most not be trusted enough, and other aspects would not have much impact on Ino-Shika-Cho. At least as long as they were not liquidated by the Uchiha in the future, it would be fine.
However.
He still subconsciously looked at the Aburame clan in the corner of the martial arts field, who seemed quite non-existent, and finally couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
Because he knew very well that if the Uchiha took power in the future, the Aburame clan would definitely rise completely.
After all, unlike Ino-Shika-Cho, the Aburame clan was not qualified to place separate bets.
But their family secret techniques were very powerful, capable of defense, offense, and perception, with almost no shortcomings in all aspects.
As long as Uchiha Jin was not stupid, he would definitely reuse the Aburame clan.
"Well, that's fine too."
Akimichi Goumaru said with a smile: "As long as they are not idle, I feel comfortable in my heart."
Yamanaka Hayato's mouth twitched.
He didn't know what to say about his companion.
However.
Thinking that the three of them could fight side by side again in the future, to be honest, his blood was faintly boiling.
Yes!
Although the strongest Ino-Shika-Cho on the surface were Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza, in fact, the three of them were the family foundation, and the strongest three-man squad of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan in the current generation!
It was just that with Shikaku and the others blocking in front, they didn't need to be exposed at all.
...
Time passed slowly.
By 9:30, almost everyone who should come had come. Even Kakashi and Might Guy sat in a corner of the martial arts field.
The Uchiha had actually arrived too!
However, they were not too arrogant now. After all, those present were all here to defect to their family, so apart from pride, their faces showed great gentleness towards everyone.
At this moment, they sat on the far left, with the elders sitting in the leading positions.
Just at this time, Uchiha Jin arrived.
He sat straight in the highest position, and Uchiha Tsuki knelt behind him on the left. Looking at the dense various ninja clans in front of him, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart.
Yes.
Don't look at him as just a Chunin on the surface; in fact, he was the leader of a faction. Relying on the scale of ninjas on the martial arts field in front of him, from today on, he could split 50-50 with Sarutobi Hiruzen!
He was also qualified to meddle in the interpretation of the Will of Fire.
"Aburame Shibi, Kakashi, Might Guy."
"What are you three doing hiding in the back? Come sit in the front now."
"Someone, add three seats!"
Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered.
He pointed directly to the core position at the front and ordered the Uchiha to add three seats.
Regarding Jin's words, although the Uchiha didn't understand, they executed it immediately.
Uchiha Jin's prestige in the clan had long reached the highest point.
Immediately after.
Aburame Shibi and the other two became very awkward at this time, but they still came to the front and sat on the newly prepared floor cushions.
In the middle of the three, there was a low table.
There was also a pot of tea and three cups on it!
Everyone present's eyes flickered.
Because they knew very well in their hearts that this was not just a low table and three floor cushions, but represented the status of these three people on the Uchiha side in the future.
Under the Uchiha, the first echelon!
Just at this time, Uchiha Jin became serious.
"Everyone..."
"I don't like to engage in hypocrisy, so let's be direct."
"First, the Aburame clan."
"I promise to provide you with all necessary support, including but not limited to giving you funds, certain industries, and other means. The core goal is to help you increase your clan members to three thousand within five years!"
