Uchiha Makoto looked at the students in front of him and coughed lightly twice, signaling them to be quiet.
The meeting room quickly fell silent.
"Everyone, the high-level officials of Konoha have sent me a message. They hope I can give you students a holiday to return to Konoha, and then promote and exchange the governing philosophy from the Akatsuki Ninja Village in Konoha. My Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha have always had consistent interests and progressed together.
"This is a good thing for both sides, so I agreed."
Uchiha Makoto didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, explaining the reason for gathering them to this group of students.
After listening to Uchiha Makoto's narration...
This group of students was very interested in this matter and showed quite a bit of excitement.
During their time in the Akatsuki Ninja Village, these students from Konoha had actually fully realized a terrible thing—that if Konoha didn't change, the gap between Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village would become wider and wider.
And when Konoha was first established, it was much more prosperous than the Akatsuki Ninja Village!
But a few years after Lord Kōkage came to power, the Akatsuki Ninja Village overtook Konoha on a curve and completely widened the gap with Konoha.
This can only be attributed to the governing philosophies of both sides!
—The governing philosophies of the Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha are vastly different, completely contrary to the ideology taught by the elders in the family.
This is completely different from the value orientation they were familiar with in the past.
No kunai, no explosive tags, no blood.... but the impact the Akatsuki Ninja Village has brought to the Land of Fire, and even the entire ninja world, is far greater than everything practiced by traditional ninjas!
And now, those who are bent on running away or even directly betraying Konoha are ultimately a very small minority. The vast majority of students still hope that Konoha can make changes and become as prosperous as the Akatsuki Ninja Village—if you think Konoha is not good, then go build it; if you think Konoha's policies are not good, then find a way to enter the Konoha system to change it; if you think Konoha villagers and ninjas are ignorant, then start enlightening the people around you.
Now the opportunity has finally come!
"Lord Kōkage, I will work hard. Konoha must change!"
"That's right! I can't stand Konoha being so stubborn anymore. The ideas of the older generation simply cannot make Konoha great again. Konoha needs young people with knowledge, ideals, and open minds to change it!"
"Konoha must learn everything from the Akatsuki Ninja Village!"
The Konoha students filled with the Will of Light clearly expressed their attitude.
Uchiha Makoto was very satisfied with their reaction.
He even seemed to see this group of Konoha students filled with the Will of Light gradually entering the high-level of Konoha in the future, then subtly changing Konoha's thinking, and finally becoming a powerful force catering to the Akatsuki Ninja Village system—Lord Kōkage uniting Konoha will make Konoha great again!
Uchiha Makoto's identity advantage will also be infinitely magnified at that time!
And Senju Tobirama, who least wants to see this happen, is likely to be the culprit.
There's no helping it...
The reform Senju Tobirama wants to promote faces huge resistance within Konoha. The old-school traditional ninjas who hold great power almost all stand on the opposite side of Senju Tobirama. If he wants to find his supporters in Konoha, the fastest and most direct way is to reuse this batch of students who studied in the Akatsuki Ninja Village and will return to Konoha in the future.
"Very good, you haven't wasted your time studying in the Akatsuki Ninja Village. I hope you can become high-level officials of Konoha in the future and realize your ambitions."
"Boldly express your attitude and state your position at the briefing organized by the high-level officials of Konoha!"
Senju Tobirama's plan to promote internal reform in Konoha is still a secret in Konoha, so Uchiha Makoto didn't say it publicly, letting this group of students directly and proactively serve as pawns for Senju Tobirama.
But... the current statement is actually enough.
The public opinion offensive prepared by the Uchiha clan with great effort this time is destined to make wedding clothes for Senju Tobirama!
Having done one thing promised to Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Makoto also intends to take this opportunity to do something of his own.
For the Akatsuki Ninja Village to erode the high-level of Konoha until it masters Konoha's power is a major event accumulated over time. It requires an organization with establishment, plan, and funds to complete. In the past, Uchiha Makoto relied too much on the Uchiha clan in Konoha. Now the fact that the Land of Fire and the Uchiha clan are colluding has reminded him.... Sometimes the family is also unreliable.
A second-hand preparation is needed!
The students in front of him are the best seed players.
"Everyone, you are too young and too vigorous. Although I have great confidence in you, changing a ninja village system is an extremely difficult and dangerous thing. In this process, you will be threatened by high-level officials who hold power and enjoy the benefits of the old system, and there may even be life-threatening dangers."
"As your principal, I hope you can change Konoha while protecting yourselves!"
Uchiha Makoto said—the best way to unite a group of people is to set up an enemy for them.
And in fact...
Uchiha Makoto wasn't talking nonsense. Such opposition indeed exists within Konoha.
The students who were originally eager to try suddenly seemed to have a bucket of cold water poured on them.
They fell silent.
Obviously, they hadn't thought that far just now.
"Lord Kōkage, what should we do then? We can't just watch Konoha stagnate and fall behind forever."
The silence didn't last long.
Soon a student stood up and asked Uchiha Makoto for advice.
Then the students in the meeting room all focused their eyes on Uchiha Makoto.
"Since you are asking for advice like this, I can tell you a method."
"First, the first step is for you to distinguish between enemies and friends, to know who our enemies are and who our friends are."
"I can be sure that there is indeed a group of bad people within Konoha. They want Konoha to remain complacent forever, wanting to control the power in their hands to seek benefits for themselves.... They are unwilling to learn advanced ideas, such as the ideas and governing philosophy of the Akatsuki Ninja Village...."
The students listened very seriously.
Treating the bad people within Konoha, based on simple patriotism for the village, they instinctively became indignant.
Uchiha Makoto took all this into his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
A move of "void target shooting," extremely smoothly planted the idea that there are "bad people" in Konoha into the minds of this group of Konoha students first.
And the definition of bad people given by Uchiha Makoto is very broad.
The right to interpret is too important!
Too precise a definition does not meet Uchiha Makoto's requirements.... If the punishment is unknown, the danger is unpredictable; that's the principle.
And Uchiha Makoto set up a benchmark on this basis.
The ideas of the Akatsuki Ninja Village are the most advanced, and the governing philosophy represented by the Akatsuki Ninja Village is correct.
—Only those who hinder Konoha's progress and development are bad people, and the ideas of the Akatsuki Ninja Village are correct and advanced!
Then combining the two.
There are bad people within Konoha. Today it can be traditional ninjas, it can be the Uchiha clan, then tomorrow it can also be Senju Tobirama, the Senju clan, and even Senju Hashirama!
The enemy is at Honno-ji, Konoha must taste it!
Of course, this is just a paving for the future.
Just accepting such a concept because of momentary emotional surge is far from enough.
Uchiha Makoto needs to firmly imprint these concepts in the minds of this group of Konoha students. This requires an organization to accommodate this group of students, and then repeat these concepts over and over again. Under the effect of collective consciousness, let these concepts become "truth"!
"The second step, we need to unite enough people!"
"There is indeed a group of bad people within Konoha hindering Konoha's reform and progress, but they are not unchangeable, just their thoughts have not been transformed.... You must unite, find people with consistent ideological concepts and political directions as partners, and then gather more people to form an organization, finally condensing a powerful force to educate those bad people, change those bad people, and if it really doesn't work, then can only eliminate those bad people."
"Everyone present here is actually a partner with consistent concepts who can unite together."
For his own purpose, Uchiha Makoto immediately explained the second step method.
Unite enough people, then form an organization, and finally strengthen one's own power.
The group of Konoha students in front of him couldn't help looking at each other—confirmed the look in their eyes, this should be one of us.
"So, as the first batch of students from Konoha to the Akatsuki Ninja Village, you can completely establish a small organization. In the future, you can use this to unite people who can be united in Konoha, forming a force until you can change the entire Konoha!"
Uchiha Makoto finally revealed his true intentions, showing his purpose.
And facing Uchiha's suggestion—to establish a secret small organization, and the purpose of the organization is "Make Konoha Great Again!".
This group of students became excited almost visibly to the naked eye.
Young and vigorous, and holding lofty ideals, it was really hard for them to refuse such a thing.
"Good idea!"
"As expected of Lord Kōkage, the analysis is thorough!"
"We present here indeed need to establish an organization. Otherwise, once we touch on changing the Konoha system, the bad people within the village will definitely defeat us one by one!"
"....."
The students immediately discussed animatedly.
But Uchiha Makoto raised his hand to silence them; he hadn't finished speaking yet.
"The third step, that is to have sufficient economic strength. Talking about money is indeed very vulgar, but after all, everyone lives in reality, and it really won't work without money."
".... The principle and method are actually very simple, the rest depends on your own efforts!"
Uchiha Makoto said the last thing.
Talking about money, this is indeed a very vulgar thing.
But for an organization, the size of financial resources can even determine whether their purpose can ultimately succeed.
The rather excited students wilted a bit.
They were just a group of students detached from production, and the money on them was barely enough to go to the "Succubus One-Day House" once.
Obviously.... establishing an organization and changing the Konoha system is not such a simple thing.
This is a life-and-death struggle.
"Lord Makoto, why don't you be the leader of our organization!"
"You are the founder of the Will of Light. No one understands better than you how to make Konoha prosperous and how to change the Konoha system!"
"And.... you will definitely fund the organization created by us, right!"
A loud voice rang out.
—Really getting a pillow when dozing off.
How could Uchiha Makoto say such a thing himself.
He looked in the direction of the voice.... It was an Uchiha!
Still, his own clansmen are considerate!
"What a joke!"
"I am the Kōkage. This is your Konoha's family affair. I can't just interfere casually."
"It's okay, Lord Makoto. Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village are allies. You are the Kōkage and also an Uchiha. The Uchiha clan is the founder of Konoha. You must also hope that Konoha can be as prosperous as the Akatsuki Ninja Village. Our group of students are not as capable as you. If you become our leader, it will be a great thing for Konoha."
A student from a small ninja clan chimed in.
Obviously, he wanted to make progress!
Uchiha Makoto still refused.
But he was very satisfied in his heart. This student can be cultivated as a key focus!
And the vast majority of the students in front of him obviously didn't intend to let go of Uchiha Makoto who refused to become the leader.
The prosperity of the Akatsuki Ninja Village was seen by them, and Uchiha Makoto had always maintained his image well to the outside world. Public opinion had even praised him as the sun of the Land of Fire. Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village had a close relationship. In the hearts of this group of students who had not yet entered the world deeply, Uchiha Makoto's image was undoubtedly noble and trustworthy!!
Uchiha Makoto was fully capable and qualified to be their mentor and leader, guiding them to change Konoha.
After declining three times.
"Alright then, but let's make it clear beforehand."
"I will only be the honorary leader, responsible for providing you with action suggestions and ideological construction, and you need to find a real leader internally. After all, it is inconvenient for me to interfere in Konoha's internal affairs. How to change Konoha needs to be decided by yourselves.... Of course, as the honorary leader, I can provide activity funds for the organization you establish, just consider it as a senior taking care of juniors."
Uchiha Makoto's answer was watertight, quite non-stick. He would be the honorary leader, only providing action suggestions, ideological construction, and activity funds, and would not interfere in their organizational actions and Konoha's internal affairs.
But Uchiha Makoto's huge advantage in identity, and the organization's financial source relying entirely on the Akatsuki Ninja Village, destined that what he said would be the organization's action policy and ideological guide.
Subsequently, Uchiha Makoto exercised the power of the honorary leader and set the most basic rule for the organization.
"Betrayal is strictly prohibited. Once betrayed, one will be punished by all organization members."
"If the impact is bad, the punishment for the traitor may even be death. If everyone is not mentally prepared for this, it's not too late to quit now."
Uchiha Makoto's tone was no longer amiable, his face stern, restoring the prestige of Lord Kōkage in the past.
Of course, saying this was equivalent to saying nothing.
The atmosphere had been built up to this point. Once choosing to quit now, one would definitely be spurned by everyone present.
"Will anyone quit?"
"How is that possible? I'm not a coward!"
"Hmph, Lord Kōkage, don't look down on me!!"
"..."
A group of students shouted, looking like newborn calves not afraid of tigers.
The corners of Uchiha Makoto's mouth curled up, a smile appeared on his face, and he held back from humming lightly.
"Lord Kōkage, give a name to the organization we created."
"Name... Let me think, let's call it the Isshinkai (One Heart Society)!"
"Isshinkai!"
"One heart for Konoha!"
"Loyalty!!" Xn
A tsunami-like response came from the meeting room!
