In short, the entire Uchiha clan is very united at this moment.
Fugaku and Itachi, sitting to the side, were filled with emotion as they watched this scene.
Compared to the past when clan meetings were always filled with endless disputes, things are completely different now.
Fugaku felt a surge of satisfaction, thinking that electing Kawasaki as the clan head was definitely the best decision he had ever made in his life.
The young Itachi looked at his senior with deep respect.
Under his leadership, not only did the quality of life of his clansmen improve significantly, but he himself also became a powerful ninja.
For example, Sasuke already possessed the Sharingan at the young age of twelve.
More importantly, Kawasaki brought them a vision of a bright future—
Without him, perhaps at this moment there would only be a lonely Sasuke.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder, Yang Ping, coughed lightly, preparing to speak.
The crowd quieted down and turned to look at him.
The Fourth Elder organized his thoughts and said:
"Our food street business in Konoha is quite good; it's one of our main sources of income."
"What would happen to this commercial street if we went it alone?"
Kawasaki nodded slightly and said, "You asked a very good question. Actually, I had already planned for this."
"We can retain the right to operate this area independently, while nominally maintaining friendly relations with Konoha."
The Fourth Elder frowned and asked, "Will they accept such conditions?"
Kawasaki smiled and replied, "If all our shops are expelled, this unique shopping street will cease to exist."

Losing this land would also cause them economic losses.
Chapter 241 Lord Kawasaki! Taking Control of the Situation!
Actually, he was hiding a trump card—
After all, Orochimaru, who is currently in charge of affairs in that area, listens to him completely, and whether or not to open a shop is entirely up to him.
This food street has now become a popular tourist attraction.
Many visitors to the village, whether discussing cooperation or completing a task, always stop by to enjoy the local cuisine.
If the Uchiha clan were driven away, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain this prosperity.
Even in recent years, the trend of factory-made fast food has impacted the market.
However, he deliberately preserved some snack stalls where the best flavor could only be enjoyed when the food was made on-site;
Although similar products can be bought outside, freshly made food is still superior.
In addition to the brand effect and loyal customer base built up over the years, new tourists are often attracted to buy some to try.
This positive atmosphere encourages more people to join the ranks of consumers, thus creating a virtuous cycle.
"In the future, this land will become an important platform for our family's business operations, and we can send people to manage and maintain it on a rotating basis."
Of course, if you have a trustworthy agent, you can consider delegating some of the business to them, with the profits going to the family.
The Fourth Elder nodded, indicating that he understood the clan leader's meaning.
Kawasaki then said: "Now comes the most crucial part: what should the Uchiha do?"
He then gestured to Iori behind him.
The latter stood up, unfolded a large map, and hung it on the wall.
Kawasaki took a pen and drew a circle around the four small islands west of Kirigakure, saying:
Right here!
The audience stared in astonishment: Wasn't that territory belonging to the Land of Water?
Everyone knew that the area was facing a financial crisis and urgently needed funding, so we took the opportunity to acquire these islands.
An uproar immediately erupted below.
"These islands also have several international-level ports, with unlimited trade potential."
Given that the islands are scattered, it is not conducive to overall planning.
Therefore, I have contacted relevant organizations in the Land of Rocks to assist with the island-connecting project.
To integrate these separate, small plots of land into one large island.
The audience was completely stunned...
Buying so many islands wasn't enough; now they're even planning to reclaim land from the sea...
"If conditions permit, I would even consider further expanding the territory to include large areas including the former territory of the Whirlpool Kingdom."
There are currently many opportunities there, enough to support our development needs.
The Third Elder astutely noticed certain keywords:
"Lord Kawasaki, you just mentioned the word 'territory,' could it be...?"
The other party laughed and said:
"Sorry, I forgot to mention that my ultimate goal is actually to establish a completely independent new country!"
The moment the words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in cheers…
He waved his hand to compose himself and said:
"Since I can't be content with a subordinate position, wouldn't it be better to take charge myself?"
Takuya took a deep breath, after all, there was a big difference between building a village and establishing a country.
In terms of personnel, the Uchiha clan could support an entire village.
However, the Uchiha clan is clearly not enough to establish a nation.
"Chieftain, isn't it a bit too few of us to establish a nation?"
Kawasaki shook his head and said:
"Whether there are many or few people is not the key point; the number will always increase in the future."
"The key is that we need to have our own territory and be in charge of our own affairs."
If it's a village, it can only be affiliated with a certain country.
Now that Kawasaki has acquired a piece of land, it naturally wants to make the decisions for itself.
"Next, Elder Takuya will lead a group over there to prepare everything."
"Then we'll move the whole thing over there."
The Third Elder, Tuoye, said with a solemn expression:
"Don't worry, Chieftain, I will arrange everything properly."
Back then, the Third Elder, Takuya, had worked alongside Itachi and Shisui, building the Land of Rice Fields from scratch.
Kawasaki felt very reassured leaving this matter to him.
"After the meeting, you will go and collect the necessary money and supplies."
Remember to bring plenty of storage scrolls and fill them with essentials.
"Don't worry too much about the house; it should be enough."
Once you get there, your main task is to make a plan.
"After the tribespeople arrive, how will we solve their food and lodging problems?"
The Uchiha clan needs quite a few things to live there.
If it's a deserted island, you'll need to build many houses, power plants, water purification facilities, and so on...
Fortunately, those islands already had inhabitants.
The area near the port has all the basic necessities for daily life, and there are also ready-made houses.
Therefore, the Uchiha clan only needs to take over.
As for future improvements, we can take it slowly.
The reason for not directly occupying the land of the Land of Whirlpools was also for this reason.
Moreover, there was nothing on those lands.
The lives of ordinary people would be very inconvenient.
Building from scratch is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
·····Requesting flowers·········
If the Uchiha clan develops smoothly, no one will dare to criticize them when they occupy the Land of Whirlpools.
Of course, Kawasaki had already considered the Land of Whirlpools as his own.
But we can't move too fast now, or we'll run into problems.
If they are combat personnel, that's fine; there are only a few hundred of them.
