Before the banquet started, Uchiha Fugaku, as the host, first expressed his gratitude to Hayama for joining on behalf of the Uchiha clan, and then the atmosphere became lively with everyone's greetings.

Seeing that it was almost time, Uchiha Fugaku clapped his hands, and servants filed in immediately, placing the dishes that had been prepared on the table. The Uchiha clan is a powerful family in the ninja world. It has a long history and has its own etiquette for hospitality.

Ye Shan couldn't help but become restrained.

"Hayama, there is no need to be restrained. The Uchiha clan does not have so many red tapes. You can just eat and drink as much as you want. Come on, come and try this lobster sashimi." Uchiha Fugaku seemed to notice Hayama's restraint and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for Hayama.

, said enthusiastically.

Ye Shan slowly put the lobster meat into his mouth, feeling the mustard and the extremely tender shrimp meat collide in his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said: "Young Patriarch..."

"Just call me Fugaku. You have a young clan leader and many clan leaders. Everyone here today is your friend!"

Hayama showed a perplexed look, and seeing Uchiha Fugaku's firm attitude, he said, "Master Fugaku, where did you catch this lobster? It's really delicious."

Uchiha Fugaku laughed, pointed at a ninja sitting next to Hayama and said: "Ask our chief executive, he will definitely know."

The named ninja was about thirty years old, and his murderous aura was extremely strong. He smiled friendly at Hayama and said: "Hayama doesn't know something. This is not an ordinary lobster, but a psychic beast of the Mist ninja, which I captured.

Then it became a delicacy on the table.”

"May I ask who you are?" Ye Shan didn't dare to be negligent and asked politely.

"Hi, there's no need to be so polite. My name is Uchiha Keiji. Just call me Keiji."

How could Hayama dare to call him by his first name? In the end, the two argued, and Hayama gave up after calling the other person Keiji's elder brother.

After half-full meal, a servant brought drinks, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly reached its peak. For a while, everyone was changing glasses, and it was very lively.

The banquet didn't end until about ten o'clock. After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Hayama and Yamashiro Tatsu walked out of the Uchiha clan and walked towards their respective residences.

Back home, Ye Shan found that a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor. In desperation, he had no choice but to brave his drunkenness and simply tidy up a sleeping place for himself. Then he lay on the bed comfortably, thinking about how to use it.

own role.

Judging from today's banquet, the Uchiha clan has a profound foundation. Every ninja participating in the banquet is a jounin with a strong aura. According to Hayama's speculation, I am afraid they are all real strong men who have activated the three magatama. In terms of force,

Hayama really can't help the Uchiha clan, but he still knows this.

Now that he has decided to choose the Uchiha clan as his backing, Hayama naturally wants to give full play to his own value. If force is not feasible, then he will start with intelligence. Hayama believes that with the political qualities accumulated in his previous life, he will soon find the Uchiha

The shortcomings of a group of people and put forward effective suggestions.

Thinking of this, Ye Shan could no longer control his drunken brain and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Ye Shan came over early and patted his somewhat swollen head. Ye Shan secretly decided not to drink casually in the future, after all, drinking could easily cause trouble.

After a brief wash, Yeshan went out in his regular clothes and went to the hospital to visit his mother.

After careful calculation, Hayama had not visited his mother for two years, and his hatred for the higher-ups grew stronger. Along the way, the ninjas who met Hayama were like blind men, turning a blind eye to him, which made Hayama's face covered with frost.

When Ye Shan saw his mother in the ward, tears could not help but fill his eyes, but Ye Shan held it back and even choked out: "Mom..."

When Mother Ye saw her son coming back from the battlefield, there was a strange flush on her pale face. She was about to speak, but unexpectedly she choked on the phlegm in her throat. She coughed again and again. Ye Shan hurriedly stepped forward and gently

Patting her mother's back gently.

After a while, Mother Ye came to her senses, took Ye Shan's hand, looked at it inside and out, and after confirming that there was no injury, she shed tears.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Hayama, let's not be ninjas anymore. We'll just open a shop in the village. The facade has been prepared for you. We won't go out to fight anymore."

Ye Shan's nose felt sour, but he didn't agree. Now he was standing on the edge of the cliff. He had to do it even if he didn't want to. He couldn't help it at all. Even if he wanted to be an ordinary person, he had to make a difference in the village.

Live truly peacefully.

When Mother Ye saw that her son was silent, she knew that he had an idea in his mind. He seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the bed, muttering: "You can't fight them, you can't fight them..."

Obviously, Ye's mother, who was lying in the hospital, had learned some news, otherwise she would not have been so depressed. Ye Shan gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that his mother had suffered unfair treatment, otherwise how could she be as thin as a mummy?

generally.

At this moment, as a son of a man, Hayama wanted to pick up the guy and rush all the way into the Hokage Building, like the Sun Dasheng who caused trouble in the sky, and cause trouble in Konoha. But the actual situation did not allow him to do this, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

"Mom, I will arrange for you to be transferred to another hospital in a few days, so you will no longer live here!"

Hayama made up his mind and decided to arrange for his mother to be recuperated in the exclusive hospital of the Uchiha clan. He really did not want to believe in the moral bottom line of Sarutobi Hiruzen and his gang. The example of the Senju clan was so bloody.

Ye's mother didn't want to say a word to Yeshan, she just lay on the hospital bed with dull eyes, muttering the name of Yeshan's father like a zombie.

In the next few days, Hayama stayed with his mother in the hospital in the morning. When she was ready to take a rest after lunch, she went to the street and carefully watched how the Uchiha clan ninjas enforced the law.

The Konoha Security Department, formed by the Uchiha clan, has great power in the village. Everything from enemies' infiltration and invasion to unscrupulous traders occupying the roads are under the control of the Konoha Security Department.

To be honest, the high-level officials of Konoha had evil intentions in arranging a living package for the Uchiha clan. Over the years, the common people of the entire village became very resentful and vaguely hostile towards the Uchiha law enforcers.

Ye Shan knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. After all, who likes urban management?

After six days like this, Hayama had a plan in mind. One afternoon, he visited Uchiha Fugaku, intending to show his value.

After chatting for a while, Hayama and Uchiha Fugaku sat in the study.

"Hayama, how is auntie's health?" Uchiha Fugaku casually flipped through a letter and asked.

"not too good."

Uchiha Fugaku put down the letter in his hand, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "What's going on? The doctors at Konoha Hospital are not good at medical skills?"

Hayama smiled bitterly and said nothing, but Uchiha Fugaku had already guessed the reason and shouted forcefully out the window: "Evil Crow, go and take Hayama's mother to Uchiha Hospital, arrange the best ward, the best

The doctors, remember, are the best."

After a dull "yes" came from the window, he fell into silence, and Hayama's heart was filled with the feeling of dying for a confidant.

"Lord Fugaku..."

"Call me Fugaku!"

Hayama touched his head helplessly and continued: "Fugaku, I came to visit today and want to make some suggestions for our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Fugaku, who had expected it, had no emotion on his face, and nodded gently to signal Hayama to continue.

"The current dilemma of the family is that they have no decision-making power in the village. I don't think this is the most acute conflict!"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said doubtfully: "What is the most acute contradiction?"

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Fame."

"reputation??"

"Yes, it is the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the village!"

After a pause, seeing that the other party did not refute, Ye Shan narrowed his eyes and continued speaking.

"I think that the current Uchiha have little hope of returning to the top, and they can only place their hopes on the Fourth Hokage. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation is at its peak and he will not abdicate in a short time, so the top priority of the Uchiha clan is

Establish your own reputation and prepare for the next transition of power."

"But the reputation of the Uchiha clan has already spread throughout the ninja world, so why do we need to establish a reputation?"

Hayama shook his head and said: "What the Uchiha clan needs is not a reputation for military force, but a reputation for loving the people!"

Uchiha Fugaku was confused. The education he received since childhood was that the strong should be respected, and he didn't understand why Hayama wanted to please the common people who were like ants.

Seeing this, Ye Shan squinted his eyes, smiled slightly, and gave all his suggestions.

The suggestion is roughly divided into three steps. Each step is designed to be seamless, enough to gain a lot of praise from the Uchiha clan.

The first step is to recruit gangsters in the village to form non-staff members of the Security Department, responsible for managing illegal vendors in the village. According to Hayama, it is to transfer the conflict and turn the contradiction between civilians and Uchiha clan law enforcers into civilians and gangsters.

conflicts, and Uchiha law enforcers will publicly punish ruffians who behave harshly at the appropriate time, establishing an image that is close to the people.

The second step is to establish the Fire Nation Daily. It will be published for free for the first three months, and then only cost fees will be charged. The content of the newspaper includes both military and national affairs, as well as anecdotes about public figures. The most important thing is that the content of each issue of the newspaper

In every corner, the pro-people actions of the Uchiha clan ninjas will be published in order to control the direction of public opinion.

The third step is to be more simple and crude. Directly spend huge sums of money to issue coupons for all daily necessities such as fruits, vegetables, and food, and build a department store market outside the Uchiha clan, promising that all civilians who hold Uchiha coupons can purchase them in department stores.

There are no restrictions on the purchase of goods in the market. This establishes an image of loving the people.

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a long time after hearing Hayama's suggestion. He had never thought that power could be played in this way. It felt like it opened the door to a new world.

Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, Uchiha Fugaku, who was still unfinished, warmly invited Hayama to stay for dinner. At the same time, he sent someone to call back his father, the clan leader who was busy outside, and wanted to discuss the future development of the Uchiha clan in detail.
