"Young clan leader, the weather is getting colder, please put on another layer of clothing."

Then, these hot-blooded clansmen will directly ignite a war with Konoha, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. In the end, everyone can only face destruction together, or ask for help in the group to clean up the mess.

Itachi sighed softly; he needed to consider this matter further.

Minato Namikaze: "I support you, Itachi, but neither I nor the First Hokage belong to this era. The decision is ultimately yours."

Uchiha Itachi: "I understand, Fourth Hokage."

At that moment, a message popped up, instantly lifting Itachi's spirits—it was a reply from the group admin.

The person who created such a cross-time and space communication platform must possess extraordinary wisdom, right?

If Yuuki knew what Itachi thought of her, she would probably say directly: "Super Intelligence tells me it's time to use Super Power."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "I have two suggestions for you, Shichi-san. Would you like to hear them?"

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

"My first suggestion is to hold back for now. This requires you to have a strong control over the Uchiha clan and be able to keep everyone calm. Buy Konoha some breathing time and wait for the new generation to grow up and be able to resist external invasion before making any changes. If an enemy does invade, you can lead the people to repel them, thereby enhancing your prestige and gradually moving towards the Hokage throne."

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment, and although he felt the plan was acceptable, its execution would be fraught with difficulties.

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

"Group leader, this path is probably not feasible. My strength is not yet sufficient to suppress the Uchiha for long."

Shinomiya Yuzuki: "It's alright, I have a second plan. You can team up with Uchiha Shisui and directly eliminate Shimura Danzo."

Uchiha Itachi: "This..."

Yuuki Shinomiya's idea was so bold and unconventional that Itachi was taken aback.

Is this plan feasible? If Danzo is killed, Konoha will likely fall into chaos immediately, and the Uchiha clan will go berserk, giving neighboring countries an opportunity to take advantage. No matter how you look at it, this plan seems unreliable.

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Don't rush, I haven't finished explaining my plan yet. After you defeat Danzo, you will get a lot of gold coins. Immediately go to the shop to spend them to strengthen your power and fight to sustain your war effort."

"While dealing with resistance within the village, you will also repel invading ninja villages. This will cause turmoil throughout the ninja world, naturally bringing in a flood of gold coins, which can then be used to further strengthen your ninjas, creating a virtuous cycle. Once you are strong enough, you can single-handedly conquer the five great nations. Not to mention becoming Hokage, you could even become the ruler of the ninja world if you wish."

"How about it? Isn't my suggestion cool enough?"

Obito Uchiha: "This plot seems familiar; I've seen it in a novel before."

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

Obito Uchiha: "It seems like it could actually work. It sounds quite interesting. Sensei, First Hokage, what do you think?"

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Hashirama Senju: "..."

These young people are going too far. Just hearing about such crazy plans makes them feel heavy-hearted.

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

Hashirama Senju's face showed a look of compassion and pity. With Konoha in chaos and other countries taking the opportunity to invade, just thinking about that situation would mean many deaths.

Shinomiya Yuzuki: "First Hokage, you are too soft-hearted and unwilling to face war. But that's how the world is. As long as the greed in people's hearts is still boiling, conflict is hard to avoid. Unless, a powerful figure emerges who can intimidate everyone, like you and Madara, and make them obey unconditionally. But Uchiha Itachi's side is lacking such a person."

"Therefore, we must manually cultivate a strong person who can lead the ninja world."

"Furthermore, 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 chaos, they don't deserve any sympathy. They attacked when Konoha was weak. Tell me, what was their purpose? Wasn't it to tear a piece of flesh from this sick lion, whether it was land or resources? Every invader had ulterior motives. What can deal with such people except a sharp sword?"

"In the end, their demise was also the result of greed, and they have no one else to blame but themselves."

After a long silence, Hashirama Senju finally typed out a few words.

Hashirama Senju: "What you said makes sense."

Uchiha Itachi: "In the end, do we still have to resort to force to solve the problem...?"

Itachi Uchiha sighed softly. He had not intended to use force, but the development of events seemed to have left him with only this path.

Is there really no other solution?

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Itachi, you're not thinking of eliminating hatred through understanding and communication between people again, are you?"

Itachi Uchiha: "I did have that idea, and Naruto proved it. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, the five great nations lived in harmony and prospered together. But behind that..."

Yuuki Shinomiya: "Actually, that's the achievement of Naruto and Sasuke. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the power they displayed far surpassed that of ordinary ninjas, and both of them came from Konoha. Tell me, what else could the other four nations do besides make peace with Konoha?"

"In addition, Naruto's extraordinary personal charisma has given him 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 fell silent, carefully considering these words, and gradually realized that the truth might indeed be so.

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

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

"As for the issue of lifespan, you have no need to worry. With gold coins, achieving the six realms and pursuing immortality is not a problem at all."

Chapter 48 Truth Lies Only on the Edge of the Sword

After typing and sending the message, Shinomiya Yuzuki fell into deep thought.

Deep down, he also acknowledged the efficiency of force.

To yearn for understanding to eliminate barriers, like Yahiko did, is too idealistic and too difficult to achieve in reality.

The first requirement is that both parties need to have a high level of self-cultivation in order to rationally let go of hatred, but in reality, not everyone is like that.

When encountering stubborn elements like Danzo, peaceful means will only lead to suffering.

Therefore, by comparison, direct force is sometimes more direct and effective, able to get people, whether educated or barbaric, to sit down and talk things over.

Of course, relying solely on force is not advisable; one must combine nine parts force with one part reason to convince others.

His advice to Itachi Uchiha was an attempt to explore different strategies.

Each timeline is independent; changes in one timeline will not affect the others.

Even if Itachi were to cause trouble there, it wouldn't affect other places.

Yuuki's proposed path had two advantages: first, it would allow Itachi to stop enduring the hypocrisy of Konoha's higher-ups and take direct action for a quick and satisfying result; second, it offered the gold coins that Yuuki was most interested in!

Following Itachi's approach, he's practically toying with the goddess of fate, completely disrupting the original trajectory of destiny. It's easy to imagine that the gold coins he'll reap will be endless.

-------Year 54 of Konoha-------

Uchiha Itachi slowly closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then opened them again. At this moment, his eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.

"Let's adopt the strategy of the group leader of the four palaces, but with some modifications."

Immediately, he clicked to open the shop interface that Youyue had mentioned repeatedly; it was the key tool for him to take the path of domination.

Only by leveraging the power of the mall can he undergo multiple transformations in a short period of time, rapidly increasing his strength and ultimately achieving his goal.

"What a dazzling array..."

Itachi felt a slight ripple in his heart, but quickly calmed down. He quickly scanned the items, looking for those that suited him, and added them to his shopping cart. He would buy them all as soon as he had enough coins.

A few minutes later, Itachi Uchiha closed the shop interface with satisfaction; he had already locked in his desired item.

The first thing is the body of an immortal.

His physique is not outstanding, and he will suffer greatly from the pain of bloodline limit disease in the future. He rarely fights personally, and even when he has to fight, he relies more on ninjutsu and genjutsu. His physique is a major weakness.

Therefore, the body of an immortal becomes a necessity; a healthy body can undoubtedly greatly enhance his combat power.

The second thing is his own Mangekyou Sharingan, which he uses to upgrade his existing Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Realm.

This not only allows him to use his eye techniques indefinitely, but also unlocks the ultimate form of Susanoo.

The complete Susanoo is a hundred meters tall, wielding the Three Sacred Treasures, and is invincible on the battlefield, capable of taking on an army of ten thousand men single-handedly.

"Do I need a total of 200,000 gold coins...?" Itachi silently calculated in his mind.

The Immortal Body costs 100,000 gold coins, and the Kaleidoscope costs another 100,000; this is by no means a small sum of money.

"Let's take it one step at a time. How much gold we'll get after defeating Danzo is still unknown."

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind, and Itachi immediately sensed who was coming.

He knew who it was, so he didn't turn around, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

Soon, the person quietly approached, then suddenly leaped onto the weasel's back.

"Ha! Did I scare you?" Sasuke deliberately made an exaggerated expression.

"I knew it was you the moment you walked in."

"Brother is awesome."

Sasuke leaned on Itachi's shoulder, a happy smile on his face. For him, the time spent with Itachi was enough to make him incredibly happy.

Itachi gently ruffled his hair and asked with a fond smile, "Did you need something?"

Sasuke is always well-behaved and wouldn't bother Itachi at this time without reason. Since he's here, he must have something to say, so Itachi asked.

"Dad asked you to come over, so he sent me to fetch you," Sasuke answered honestly, his eyes crinkling into two thin lines with a smile.

"I see. Let's go then."

Itachi, carrying Sasuke on his back, turned and left the room, heading towards the Naga Shrine.

"Sasuke, you should go back to sleep."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Naga Shrine, Itachi put Sasuke down but did not intend to take him inside, as the upcoming conversation was not suitable for Sasuke to hear.

"See you tomorrow, brother."

Sasuke nodded obediently, without asking why, and waved goodbye with a smile as he ran away.

Itachi watched with a faint smile until Sasuke's figure completely disappeared around the corner, at which point his smile gradually faded.

Then, he pushed open the door and stepped into the tranquil space of the Nanga Shrine.

The long, drawn-out sound of the ancient wooden door opening instantly drew the attention of everyone inside the shrine.

Besides Fugaku Uchiha, who sat in the central seat, there were several white-haired elders present.

They are the elders of the Uchiha clan, holding a prestigious and respected position, and are responsible for assisting the clan head in managing all matters of the Uchiha clan.

"Father, elders, I have come."
