Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Uchiha Itachi: "@Senju Hashirama, @Namikaze Minato, my two seniors, I... want to become Hokage!"

"I no longer want to be a pawn manipulated by Konoha's high-ups, and I cannot bear to personally sever my family's bloodline and leave Sasuke alone to face that bleak future."

"I want to lead the Uchiha clan out of the haze and integrate into Konoha wholeheartedly. I hope the two seniors can give me some advice."

Itachi's eyes were firm and unwavering, he no longer trusted those shadows high above him, and was determined to tear apart the corruption with his own hands and bring Konoha back to life.

He knew that violence alone could not keep him on the throne of Hokage; that was the truth he had learned from seeing through the future.

As he later said:

It's not that only by becoming Hokage can one gain people's recognition, but only those who are recognized by people can become Hokage.

At this moment, he longed for the approval of the two Hokage in the group. Even though they did not belong to this timeline, Itachi still looked forward to their opinions.

Especially Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage who was like a brother to his father Uchiha Fugaku. His reputation was well-known in Itachi's heart.

On the other side, in Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant in Konoha Village.

The brothers Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju are enjoying the legendary Ichiraku Ramen that runs through the plot.

Hashirama gently nudged Tobirama, who was concentrating on absorbing noodles, and whispered, "Tobirama, there is an Uchiha child who wants to be Hokage. I want to hear what you think."

Tobirama didn't raise his eyelids and continued to enjoy the delicious food: "Who? Madara? Then let him do it. It will be a relief for me."

This ramen is indeed unique.

Hashirama smiled and shook his head: "It's not Madara, it's a little guy named Itachi, who came from another time and space. He is extremely powerful and his talent is not much inferior to Madara."

"Itachi?" Tobirama seemed a little surprised.

"Let him be. We have no right to control how others live in their own world. Brother, you always worry too much."

"You can't say that. Since they came to ask me, it means they still respect our Hokage."

Senju Hashirama hesitated for a moment and responded in the group:

Senju Hashirama: "Uchiha boy, I suggest you pursue bravely. Not to mention Hokage, even if you want to dominate the ninja world, there is nothing wrong with that."

"But you have to be careful, the times you live in are extremely delicate."

"The Fourth Hokage died, the Nine-Tails Rebellion has just ended, there is a shortage of high-end combat power, morale is low, and external enemies are all around. If you want to become the top Hokage, the road is full of dangers. If you make a mistake, Konoha may be doomed."

"Haha, of course, we will lend you a helping hand at the critical moment and will never let Konoha be destroyed."

After reading Hashirama's reply, Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered with deep thought: "Is that so..."

Indeed, Hashirama's words hit the nail on the head. Now the Uchiha clan is watching covetously, ready to take advantage of Konoha's slight weakness.

If I reveal my desire to become Hokage, the elites in the clan might be eager to put the Hokage cloak on me the next day.

"Young Patriarch, the weather is getting colder, put on more clothes."

Then, these overly hot-blooded tribesmen will directly provoke a war with Konoha, giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage, and ultimately everyone can only go to destruction together, or seek help in the group to clean up the mess.

Itachi sighed softly, he still needed to think about this matter carefully.

Namikaze Minato: "I support you, Itachi, but the first generation and I do not belong to this era. The one who really has to make the decision is still you."

Uchiha Itachi: "I understand, Yondaime."

At this moment, a piece of information jumped into his eyes, which cheered Itachi up. It was the reply from the group owner.

Anyone who can create such a cross-time and space communication platform must possess extraordinary wisdom, right?

If Youyue knew what Itachi was thinking of him, he would probably say directly: My super wisdom tells me that it's time to use my super strength.

Shigong Youyue: "One against seven, I have two suggestions, do you want to hear them?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I would like to hear the details, Master."

"The first suggestion is to hold off for now. This requires you to have strong control over the Uchiha clan and be able to stabilize everyone. First, buy Konoha some breathing time and wait for the new generation to grow up and be able to resist foreign invasions before making changes. If foreign enemies invade, you can lead the people to repel them, thereby improving your prestige and gradually moving towards the throne of Hokage."

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment, and although he felt that this plan was feasible, it was actually very difficult to execute.

The Uchiha clan is currently like a barrel full of explosives. His newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan might be able to suppress it temporarily, but it is far from enough. There is little hope of maintaining it until the next generation rises.

"Master, I'm afraid this path won't work. I'm not strong enough to suppress the Uchiha for long."

Shinomiya Yutsuki: "It doesn't matter. I have a second plan. You join forces with Uchiha Shisui and kill Shimura Danzo directly."

Uchiha Itachi: "This..."

Shinomiya Yutsuki's idea was so bold that Itachi was stunned on the spot.

This plan... is it feasible? Once Danzo is killed, Konoha will probably fall into chaos immediately, and then the Uchiha clan will go berserk, and the neighboring countries will have an opportunity to take advantage. No matter how I think about it, I feel that this plan is not very reliable.

Shigong Youyue: "Don't worry, I haven't finished my plan yet. After you defeat Danzo, you will get a lot of gold coins. Go to the mall immediately to spend money to increase your strength and fight to support yourself."

"While dealing with resistance within the village, you will also fight against foreign ninja villages. The entire ninja world will be in turmoil, and gold coins will naturally roll in. You can then continue to strengthen your power, forming a virtuous cycle. When you are strong enough, you can conquer the five great nations in one fell swoop. Not to mention being the Hokage, even if you want to become the master of the ninja world, it will be no problem."

"How is it? Is my proposal cool enough?"

Uchiha Obito: "I feel like I've seen this plot in a novel before."

Shigong Youyue: "Don't change the subject, just tell me if it's okay or not."

Uchiha Obito: "It seems to be feasible, it sounds interesting. Teacher, Shodaime, what do you think?"

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Senju Hashirama: "..."

Young people nowadays are really too crazy. They feel heavy in their hearts just listening to such a crazy plan.

Senju Hashirama: "Isn't this too radical? Once the war starts, countless people will die."

A look of compassion appeared on Hashirama Senju's face. Konoha was in chaos, and other countries took the opportunity to invade. Just thinking about that situation, you could tell that many people would die.

Shinomiya Yutsuki: "First generation, you are too soft-hearted and unwilling to face war, but this is the way the world is. As long as the greed in people's hearts is still boiling, conflicts are inevitable. Unless there is a character who is powerful enough to intimidate everyone, like you and Madara, and make them obey unconditionally, but Uchiha Itachi lacks such a person."

"So we have to manually train a strong man who can lead the ninja world."

"Besides, if the Uchiha clan does not resist, thousands of innocent lives will be at the mercy of others. If they do not protect themselves, they will be harmed."

"As for those ninja villages that took advantage of the situation, they don't deserve any sympathy. They attacked when Konoha was weak. What do you think is their purpose? They just want to tear a piece of meat from this sick lion. Whether it's land or resources, every invader has an ulterior motive. For such people, what else can we treat them with except swords?"

"In the final analysis, their demise was caused by greed, so they can't blame anyone else."

Senju Hashirama was silent for a long time, and finally typed out a few words.

Senju Hashirama: "You have a point."

Uchiha Itachi: "In the end, we still have to rely on force to solve the problem..."

Uchiha Itachi sighed lightly. His original intention was not to use force, but the development of the situation seemed to leave him with only this one way.

Is there really no other solution?

Shinomiya Yutsuki: "Itachi, you are not thinking of eliminating hatred through understanding and communication between people, are you?"

Uchiha Itachi: "I did have this idea, and Naruto has also proved it. After the Fourth World War, the five major countries lived in harmony and prospered together. But behind this..."

Shinomiya Yuzuki: "In fact, that is the achievement of Naruto and Sasuke. In the Fourth Shinobi World War, the power they displayed has already surpassed the scope of ordinary ninjas, and both of them are from Konoha. Let me ask, what else can the other four countries do except to make peace with Konoha?"

"Coupled with Naruto's extraordinary personal charm, he has friends in every country. This dual effect has created a peaceful period in the ninja world that has not been seen in a thousand years."

Itachi was silent, savoring the words, slowly realizing that this might actually be the case.

Uchiha Itachi: "Group leader, I will seriously consider your opinion."

Shinomiya Yuzuki: "That's right, today's struggle is for tomorrow's peace. Under your leadership, the ninja world will enter a stage of enforced peace. There may not be much change in the short term, but after hundreds or even thousands of years, hatred will naturally be diluted by time."

"As for the life span, you don't have to worry about it. With the gold coins, achieving the six paths and pursuing immortality is not a problem at all."
