Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

"Even though this is the truth, it has led to these villagers fearing our clan more than ever."

"Why are they so afraid of our Uchiha clan? As long as they don't cause trouble, our Uchiha clan won't do anything to them."

He felt that the rift between the Uchiha clan and the village had grown even larger, making it harder than ever to integrate into the village.

Ryosuke also didn't expect things to be like this. Perhaps it was really time to change the image of the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku looked at Ryosuke, who was deep in thought. "Ryosuke, do you have any ideas? How can our clan rise to the top?"

Ryosuke thought for a moment and then slowly said, "There is naturally a way, but it depends on whether the clan is willing to accept it."

Fugaku quickly asked, "Ryosuke, tell me first. What is the cost?"

Ryosuke then shared his thoughts. "Actually, the dissatisfaction of the villagers and other clans towards our Uchiha clan stems from the authority of the guard force."

"When the Second Hokage handed over the guard force to our Uchiha clan to manage, he probably didn't have good intentions."

"The guard force has too much power, but it deals with things that offend people."

"To be honest, although our Uchiha clan manages the guard force, the decisions we make cannot convince everyone."

"In the end, it's because our Uchiha clan cannot represent the entire village. After all, Konoha is no longer what it used to be. It not only has many civilian ninjas but also various large and small clans."

Fugaku also understood what the other meant and deeply agreed. Indeed, the guard force deals with things that offend people. He couldn't help but ask, "Then, Ryosuke, do you mean that the Uchiha clan should give up the guard force?"

He didn't expect that after Danzo and the Third Hokage carefully plotted to seize the authority of the Uchiha guard force, Ryosuke would just give it up.

But the authority of the guard force is very significant. It can even judge advisory elders. In terms of power, it is no less than that of the Third Hokage, of course, provided that the strength is sufficient.

If Ryosuke chooses to give it up, then he will follow. He believes in Ryosuke's vision.

Although the clan members might find it hard to accept, they will have to accept it because Uchiha Ryosuke represents what is right.

Ryosuke, however, looked dumbfounded. "I never said I would give up the guard force. Power is indeed a good thing and absolutely cannot be completely discarded. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to do things."

"But we can fully bring others in and share the power. Then, the guard force will no longer belong solely to our Uchiha clan but to the entire village."

"At that time, the judgments made should not be disputed."

Fugaku now understood. Ryosuke meant to invite other clans to join the guard force, or even civilian ninjas could join the village's guard force.

He couldn't help but ask, "But with so many people coming in at once, a lot of power will undoubtedly be shared out. What if these clans unite and directly seize the original power of the Uchiha clan?"

Ryosuke said indifferently, "Since we have decided to bring in talents, we naturally have to give them the corresponding authority."

"Although this will indeed share out a lot of power, as long as our Uchiha clan is strong enough, no one can replace our central position in the guard force."

"In other words, our Uchiha clan will still be the real leader of the guard force. This will not change."

Fugaku agreed with Ryosuke's opinion. Indeed, power relies on strength. If the Uchiha clan's fist is bigger, then it will always be the center of the guard force.

Ryosuke's method is indeed effective. If implemented, it will completely change the image of the Uchiha clan.

If the villagers, ninjas, and clans have no dissatisfaction with our Uchiha clan, then it will be easier for our Uchiha clan to rise to the top, and it will be more justified, without causing too much opposition or even resistance.

Fugaku continued to ask, "Ryosuke, but which clans should we invite?"

Regarding Fugaku's question, Ryosuke naturally had a list of clans to invite. He slowly said, "The Hyuga clan in the village has the Kekkei Genkai Byakugan. Such a clan should be brought into our guard force and given the position of deputy captain."

Fugaku deeply agreed. This clan spoke up for the family at the clan leader meeting.

In Konoha, it is also a major clan. The Byakugan Kekkei Genkai has even more strategic value on the battlefield than the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan.

Although the top strength is somewhat lacking, it is undoubtedly a huge force. After joining, it can also make the authority of the guard force more convincing.

"I agree. Any others?"

Ryosuke smiled at this time and said, "We should also invite the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Inuzuka clan."

Hearing this, Fugaku's expression changed. These four clans are loyal supporters of the Third Hokage.

"Ryosuke, this might not be appropriate."

Ryosuke, however, smiled and said, "It's fine. I know they are supporters of the Third Hokage, so we should bring them in even more."

"Once these people join our Uchiha guard force, I wonder what the Third Hokage will think. Clan Leader, you don't have to worry about these people causing trouble once they join. As I said before, as long as our Uchiha clan is strong enough, our central position will not be shaken."

Fugaku understood. 'Ryosuke's move is ruthless. He actually thought of poaching the Third Hokage's supporters.'

If we bring them into the guard force system, wouldn't that be undermining the Third Hokage's support base?

Without these people's support, the Third Hokage would be like a lone figure without his own forces. As the Uchiha clan becomes stronger, it will naturally ascend to the position of Hokage.

'Ryosuke's move is indeed brilliant.'

Of course, there are still some minor issues. "Ryosuke, do you think these supporters of the Third Hokage will join the guard force? Wouldn't that be equivalent to betraying the Third Hokage? There shouldn't be such foolish people, right?"

Ryosuke, however, smiled and said, "If they don't accept the power handed to them, there shouldn't be such foolish people in the world."

Fugaku nodded. That's true. If they gain the authority of the guard force, they will not only wield real power but also enhance their clan's strength, reputation, and status.

They cannot refuse. This is a real benefit, and of course, it is also a real attempt to drive a wedge between the Third Hokage and these clans.

Ryosuke sneered at this moment. "Even if they are really stupid and refuse to accept, I will definitely make them accept."

Fugaku could already see that this strategy had succeeded.

Once Ryosuke decides to do something, these people probably won't be able to resist and will have to accept.

This is indeed Ryosuke's style.

"Ryosuke, as you said, I will send people to deliver invitations to the leaders of these five clans, inviting them to the Uchiha clan's territory."

"Of course, this meeting will require your presence. What do you think?"

"Of course." After responding to Fugaku, Ryosuke drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"Clan Leader, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Okay." Fugaku did not keep him any longer.

"I will send someone to deliver the tea to your home later."

Ryosuke acknowledged and then left directly.

He should also go outside to breathe some fresh air.

After Ryosuke left, Fugaku ordered someone to write five invitations and deliver them to the territories of the five major clans.
