"A traitor? Like Orochimaru?" Takuma asked with concern because while he agreed with everything she had said, he couldn't see how a tumour like Orochimaru would help the village. Even if there were so upside, it would be drowned out by the downside.
"Orochimaru? Why did he co up?" Momoe frowned in confusion. Ah, because I bought up Jiraya? My bad. No, I'm not talking about that kind of traitor. We need a class traitor."
"A class traitor?"
"Soone from a clan who recognises the problem and is willing to do sothing to change it. Working from outside will take a long ti, and I'm not saying that we shouldn't do it, but it'll probably be faster if soone with power on the inside is willing to join the cause."
Takuma nodded because it made sense. As Momoe had described, clans had created a gated community for themselves. People like Momoe, who were being pursued for their potential, could get inside, but she would always be treated like a guest. They needed a native with free access to take the full advantage of the influence the clans hoarded.
"And who might that be?" he asked.
"No idea," she sighed. "The problem is that even if we find soone like that, it won't matter if they aren't in a position of power, high enough that it would be difficult for the clans to overrule them."
"Good intentions aren't enough; we need soone with real sway," he comnted.
"Couldn't have put it any better," Momoe said with pursed lips.
He could see her dilemma. She wanted more power for civilian-born shinobi, who made up the majority of Leaf shinobi, but doing so required help from soone within the clans, who gatekept the majority of the resources for themselves. It wasn't a good feeling knowing that they needed help from the "enemy camp" to change things.
"That's going to be... difficult. How about finding soone willing to help and pushing them into a position of power? Perhaps soone like Izumi," Takuma suggested.
Izumi wasn't only a Uchiha, but also extrely talented, as she was promoted at the sa ti as Momoe, but also had activated her sharingan. Not to ntion, she had a great personality, and he could see her sympathising with Momoe.
"Izumi won't work." Momoe confidently shook her head.
"Why?"
"In my opinion, we need soone dedicated. While Izumi would be sympathetic, I don't think she would want to make it one of her major goals. And there's nothing wrong with that. There are plenty of problems in the world, and we can express our support for them, but there's a limit to how many of those problems soone can be involved with. I don't think she's in the right ti of her life to think of things like this."
"And you are?" he asked. If Izumi wasn't in the right ti of her life, then what about Momoe? Both of them were in the sa chapters of their lives and had similar future trajectories.
He also noticed how she said that Izumi "would be" sympathetic rather than "is
