Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 238 Black Zetsu's ecstasy, beta version of the tailed beast capture plan
The other party had a hostage in hand, so Senju Tobirama could only grit his teeth and lower his noble white hair to the curly-haired man in front of him.
Ah, this person also took the wrong medicine?
This sudden change made Uchiha Gin wonder if this white-haired man was someone else's impersonation, and he had learned to speak softly, so he secretly activated his super perception and scanned up and down. After confirming that it was Tobirama Honma, he immediately relaxed his brows and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hehe~ Since you are so sincere, I will tell you the origin of these dolls."

Looking past the strange-looking Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Gin pointed at the eight dolls lined up in the display case and introduced them aloud,
"These are creatures called tailed beasts. Don't be fooled by their cute figures. Their real bodies are hundreds of feet long."

As he spoke, Uchiha Gin took out a round doll from the cabinet and continued to speak to Senju Tobirama,
"For example, this raccoon cat, its name is Shukaku, and now he should be in prison in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Jail? What do you mean?"

After hearing Uchiha Gin's introduction, the quick-thinking Senju Tobirama looked at the khaki raccoon cat in Uchiha Gin's arms, imagined the scene of Shukaku wreaking havoc at a height of 100 meters, and couldn't help but ask,
"This creature is essentially made of chakra and can be sealed. As luck would have it, the unlucky Shukaku was sealed by the people of the Wind Country."

Pinching the chubby face of the Shukaku doll in his hand, Uchiha Gin patiently explained to Senju Tobirama,
Chakra creatures. Doesn't that mean they can be used?
Senju Tobirama, who was always narrow-minded, had a gleam of light in his scarlet eyes after listening to Uchiha Gin's explanation, and he immediately started to think about the tailed beasts.

Things without an owner belong to those who are capable.

"But, how did you know this secret information?"

Senju Tobirama, who was thinking about how to use the tailed beasts, suddenly came to his senses. How did Uchiha Gin, a nobody, know this confidential information? It might be fake news.
"I don't have any other hobbies except making friends. I just happen to have a close friend in the Wind Country, and he was the one who told me this."

Uchiha Gin answered seriously, and his expression did not seem fake.
"Do you have any friends from the Wind Country?"

Senju Tobirama expressed great doubt about Uchiha Gin's words. He didn't believe that this guy who never left the house would know people from other countries.
"My thick rice is all over the world. No matter which country you go to in the future, as long as you mention my name, you will definitely have your delicious juice to eat."

"Humph~"

It's getting more and more outrageous. Just you?

"Do you have any news on the other tailed beasts?"

Since the one-tailed beast was sealed in the Kingdom of Wind, I would skip it. Anyway, this one-tailed raccoon cat didn't look very strong. Then I looked at the other tailed beasts in the display cabinet and asked,
"I don't know about that, but these tailed beasts are huge and have obvious characteristics. With a little investigation, we can find clues."

Although he was very confused about why Senju Tobirama was suddenly interested in the tailed beasts, Uchiha Gin still told him everything he knew that he didn't know.

"Are these the only tailed beasts?"

After counting the remaining seven tailed beasts, Senju Tobirama turned around and asked,
"There are nine in total, and I'm still missing one."

Shaking his head regretfully, Uchiha Gin looked at the empty space behind the cow-oni doll, where another Kurama should be placed.

"Collect what?"

At this time, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who had just finished their heart-to-heart talk, were attracted by the conversation between Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Gin, and stepped forward to ask what they were talking about.
"Tailed Beasts, I am still short of a Nine-Tails, and then I can complete the Tailed Beast Doll Bond."

Uchiha Gin put the Shukaku doll back in his hand and replied with a rather regretful tone,

Brother Zhou Xuan's health is getting worse and worse, and I don't know when my nine-tailed doll will arrive.
"Nine-tailed fox? Is it the nine-tailed demon fox?"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Senju Hashirama touched his chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he asked,

"Brother Ezhujian, how did you know?"

"Haha, I once heard from the elders of my family that according to legend, there is a disaster beast that wreaks havoc everywhere in the Fire Country. It is called the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. It is a hundred feet tall, cruel, and has eaten countless people, especially children who don't sleep at night~"

"Stop! What bedtime story? Why haven't I heard my elders tell it?"

The more he listened, the more something seemed wrong, so Senju Tobirama quickly interrupted him.
"Because you always fall asleep, Tobirama, and miss the wonderful story time."

Senju Hashirama, who was standing by, was stroking his head, his face full of regret.

Tobirama, this is the childhood you missed!

"Nine-tailed demon fox."

After confirming the existence of the tailed beast, a gleam of light flashed in Senju Tobirama's eyes, and a bold plan began to take shape in his mind.
"Cousin, you are in need of a nine-tailed fox. Do you want me to catch you a real one and keep it in the backyard for fun?"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin really liked the tailed beast doll, Uchiha Madara immediately patted his chest and promised his eldest cousin,
You are just a beast, but you still have to bow down before me, Uchiha.

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gin did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at his confident cousin with a teasing look on his face, leaving the other party confused.

"Brother, the message has been delivered, and we should go back."

Senju Tobirama, who already had a new plan in mind, didn't want to waste a moment, so he immediately grabbed his eldest brother and prepared to leave.

"Huh? So soon? Tea isn't even served yet?"

Senju Hashirama, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, looked at the figure standing outside the door for help, but received a cold look from the other person. He immediately became depressed.
"All right."

"It's time for me to go. As I said before, I will definitely get the position of Hokage. Just watch me, cousin!"

Seeing that Hashirama Senju was about to leave, Uchiha Madara no longer had the intention to stay, and immediately stood up and said goodbye, chasing after his hot mom, and before leaving, he did not forget to mention his dream of becoming Hokage.

"Come on, I'm rooting for you~"

After everyone left, the Uchiha Gin family once again returned to their former tranquility. Senju Itama, dressed in home clothes, finally showed up, humming an incomprehensible tune, and methodically cleaning up the few traces left behind.
Judging from his expression, he was not as sad as Uchiha Gin had imagined.
"Aren't you ready to recognize each other yet? While the relationship between the two families is still in the honeymoon period, why don't you go back and recognize your ancestors?"

Looking at Senju Itama who was in a good mood, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively,

"No Road Race!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy~"

Seeing that Senju Itama, who originally had a smile on her face, instantly turned into an angry female beast after he asked the question and looked at him with an extremely unpredictable expression, Uchiha Gin immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Hmm~ What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Senju Itama, whose face had returned to normal, glanced at Uchiha Gin who had given in, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I want to eat fish~"

Today is another leisurely day.

The next day.

"Boom!!!"

Uchiha Madara was sorting out the official business at hand when the door of his office was suddenly pushed open. Then a hurried figure walked in with something similar to a notice in his hand.
"Izuna, I've told you so many times, you're almost thirty years old, don't be so impetuous."

In the entire Uchiha family, there are only two people who dare to push the door like this. Uchiha Gin must still be sleeping at this time, so the only one left is his beloved Oudoudou.
"Brother, take a look at this. This is a competition organized by that Senju Tobirama guy."

"what?"

Uchiha Madara frowned when he heard this. Anything related to Senju Tobirama is definitely not a good thing.

"Let me see the Tailed Beast Hunting Competition? What the hell is this Senju Tobirama doing?"

Taking the notice handed over by Izuna, Uchiha Madara saw the big words on it at a glance, then moved his eyes down and saw the specific details.

"To actually determine the candidate for Hokage based on the number of tailed beasts captured, this is too much."

The more Uchiha Madara looked at it, the brighter the light in his eyes became, and he said with a tut-tut sound,
"That's right, it's too hasty."

Izuna shook her head and scoffed at Senju Tobirama's plan.

“How fair!”

"what?"

"This Senju Tobirama has done a rare good thing. Now my position as Hokage is almost certain~"

At the same time, all the ninja clans in Konoha received this notice, and there were cries of grief everywhere.
"Sasuke! This Senju Tobirama is clearly playing tricks on us!"

Shimura Kenichi, whose face flushed with anger, slammed the notice in his hand in front of his best friend and said angrily,

"The tailed beasts are notoriously ferocious beasts. They are terrifying creatures that can kill dozens of ninjas with one strike. They are not creatures that humans can contend with."

"What do you think?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who also knew the reputation of the tailed beasts, ignored his noisy friend and turned around to ask the three people sitting opposite him.
"Hahaha, I wonder if the meat of the tailed beasts tastes good?"

The plump Shinji Akimichi patted his big belly and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. The notice says that the tailed beasts are probably a collection of chakras and do not have real flesh and blood."

The pineapple-haired man sitting in the middle read the notice carefully, trying to analyze more information.

"Can you give up? The Yamanaka clan is not interested in Hokage or anything like that. We just want to make money now."

As the only woman present, Yama Minako had dark circles under her pretty face, looking like she hadn't slept well. Facing the discussion about the tailed beasts, she showed little interest.
After all, she still owes hundreds of millions, and the interest alone is millions every day. How can she sleep well!

"I understand. This is the Senju clan. They want us to retreat."

After analyzing for a long time, the pineapple-haired man raised his head and looked at their backbone, Sarutobi Sasuke, with an expression of understanding.

"I think so too."

Sarutobi Sasuke nodded in agreement, then turned to look at the people around him and said loudly, "Now that the Thousand Hands are very powerful, we should keep a low profile. The position of Hokage will one day be our turn to sit on it!"

As he spoke, Sarutobi Sasuke's eyes flashed with determination. He believed that in the near future, his Sarutobi clan would surely produce a Hokage who would serve as the leader of the village.

"Huh~ That's for sure!"

Kenichi Shimura, who had great ambitions, was the first to respond to the call. He believed that there would definitely be a Hokage among his descendants.

"Hahaha, as long as we in the Akimichi clan have enough food to eat, it doesn't matter who becomes the Hokage~"

"Hokage?"

There was a gleam of wisdom in the eyes of the pineapple-headed man. As a member of the Nara clan, he always believed that force was not the first element of a leader, but the brain was the most important thing.

“Make money, make money, make money.”

The scene changed, and in a quiet and luxurious courtyard, an old man with a weathered face and white eyes was holding a notice, thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the respectful young man in the audience, and slowly said,
"Tianyao, what do you think?"

"Father, if the whole clan joins forces, our Hyuga clan has a great chance of taking down a tailed beast, but relying on the power of just one person is simply a fantasy."

Facing his father, the usually unruly Hinata Tianyao was now as obedient as a sheep, lowering his head and speaking with only respect.

"Alas, Senju Hashirama wants us to retreat in the face of difficulties~"

The old man with the white eyes had a sense of decadence in his eyes. He was nearly 70 years old and no longer had the arrogance of his youth. Now he had too many things to consider. These mundane things became shackles, like a caged bird on the head of a separated family.
Their clan is nothing more than a bird in a cage that cannot spread its wings.

"Then we."

Hinata Tianyao carefully raised his head, looked at his sighing father, and asked,

"We, the Hyuga clan, have given up competing for the position of Hokage. You should stop looking for that Uchiha recently. Now is the time to choose your side, so as not to give the Senju clan any reason to talk about you."

I thought the position of Hokage was for the most capable, but I didn't expect that Senju Tobirama would do this, which was obviously to make the ninja clan retreat and let his brother take the position.
Everyone in the Land of Fire knows the reputation of Hashirama Senju. With his strength and adequate preparation, he should be able to defeat a tailed beast, right?

"Mr. Eyin is a good man with noble character. Given his personality, he will never get involved in political disputes."

Hearing his father's words, Hinata Tianyao rarely protested. As Uchiha Gin had once guided his secondary development, he always had great respect for him.

"You never know what's going on. Who told him to be Uchiha? Starting today, you should stay in the ancestral hall for a while and study the secrets left by your ancestors."

I didn't expect that my son, who had always been obedient, would rebel one day. A hint of surprise flashed across the calm eyes of the old man with white eyes. I didn't expect that Uchiha's personality charm was so terrifying. Then he started to make arrangements.

".yes."

To put it nicely, he is going to the ancestral hall to meditate, to put it bluntly, he is under house arrest. It seems that Hinata Tenyo will be locked up for a long time, and he will not be able to come out at least until the position of Hokage is confirmed.

"Tobirama, what exactly is the point of your announcement?"

In the temporary office of the Senju clan, Hashirama Senju looked at the stack of "Voluntary Waiver Commitment Letters" in front of him with a headache. He had thought of mobilizing all the ninjas in Konoha to participate in the Hokage selection, to find some scapegoats for Uchiha Madara, so that even if he lost, he would feel better about it. He didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back by his own brother. An announcement of the "Tailed Beast Hunting Competition" made those ninjas surrender at the very beginning.

"It's reasonable for me to withdraw from the competition, but I have my own considerations."

Facing his brother's accusations, Senju Tobirama was somewhat satisfied with his own achievements. He nodded and explained,
"Brother, this plan I made is not without reason. After I came back yesterday, I went to look through ancient books and integrated the information about the tailed beasts. I found that this kind of creature is not only incredibly destructive, but also immortal."

As he spoke, Senju Tobirama placed a stack of organized information in front of his elder brother and motioned him to look through it.
"The tailed beasts can actually be used as weapons of war?"

Senju Hashirama flipped through the information with doubt, his expression gradually changed from relaxed to anxious. Looking at the previous records of the tailed beasts, he frowned and asked,

"That's right. As a collection of chakra, the tailed beasts can be controlled by seals. If used properly, they can be released into the enemy's interior and the seal can be broken. The crazy tailed beasts will destroy all living things in front of them, and the fight will not stop until they die."

Nodding, Tobirama Senju explained how people had used the tailed beasts in the past. Although it was a one-time method, its lethality should not be underestimated.

"Too dangerous, this creature."

When he thought of the tailed beasts being released into Konoha Village by someone with ulterior motives, Hashirama Senju's heart couldn't help but tighten. The destructive power of the tailed beasts to ordinary people is not to be underestimated. In a place as small as Konoha, the tailed beasts would be destroyed if they rolled around a few times. With an clear mind, he immediately listed it as the first disaster.

"So, we must hold the tailed beasts firmly in our hands to prevent villains from causing harm to Konoha."

Seeing that his brother was afraid of the tailed beasts, Senju Tobirama immediately struck while the iron was hot and stated his ultimate goal.
Under the guise of competing for the position of Hokage, they collect the tailed beasts. In the end, they will have their own Hokage and the tailed beasts as well. Isn't this a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone?

"Tobirama, you're right!"

As long as the safety of Konoha was at stake, Senju Hashirama became a different person. His entire aura stagnated, and a strong pressure emanated from his body, making Senju Tobirama on the opposite side feel suffocated.
"Without further delay, when do we leave?"

"Don't worry, wait until the ninjas hand in their letters of renunciation before you set off. Take a look at the information on the tailed beasts first."

Senju Tobirama held down the impatient Senju Hashirama. There were still some ninjas who had not submitted their letters of resignation. Only after all of them gave up, the eldest brother could set off with a clear conscience.

"Has the One-Tail been sealed?"

"Yes, in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Well, we have to be careful of the Wind Country. Do you want me to warn them?"

"Not for now. You catch the others first. They will be the ones who will be afraid to take action when the time comes."

Hashirama Senju was looking through the information and found that the first tailed beast had been captured, so he asked hurriedly. After learning that it was sealed by the Wind Country, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He asked Tobirama whether he wanted to intimidate him, but was rejected.

After a while, the faces of the Senju Tobirama who received the abandonment letters one after another became better and better. After he checked the list for a long time, his face turned sour again, which made the Senju Hashirama who was reading the information confused.
"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Good news, all the ninjas have given up."

Senju Tobirama looked at the document in his hand with an unexpected expression and spoke slowly.

"You mean there's more bad news?"

"Yes, Uchiha Madara is asking when the game will start."

"Haha, I knew Mada wouldn't give up~"

Senju Hashirama, who thought he had to fight alone, had a smile on his face. He knew that his best friend would not back down in the face of difficulties.

"Hmph~ Big Brother, you can't let me off this time. This concerns the future of Konoha. You must not be careless."

Senju Tobirama, who was worried that his elder brother was obsessed with sex, began to give him preventive measures.

"Don't worry, I can still tell the difference between these things."

Senju Hashirama was in a good mood, and waved his hands with a smile on his face.

"But, Tobirama, why are these pictures of the tailed beasts so cute?"

Senju Hashirama picked up the information again, looked at the tailed beasts, each cuter than the other, and asked in confusion,

"Ahem. After all, time is tight. This is the appearance of the tailed beast I drew based on the tailed beast dolls at Uchiha Gin's house. It should be pretty close."

Senju Tobirama pointed at the information with a strange look on his face, and said confidently,
"That's it~"

On the other side, Uchiha Gin looked at Uchiha Madara holding his own tailed beast doll with a pained look, and couldn't help but complain aloud,
"Cousin, you don't have to take the doll to find it. The tailed beasts all look so distinctive, they should be easy to identify."

"Well, that's right. It's my fault, Meng Lang."

Uchiha Madara was about to run away with the baby, but was stopped by a short-haired girl with an uneasy look on her face. He turned around a little embarrassedly and went back.
"Besides, what's the difference between you and a headless fly? The ninja world is so big, you don't want to search inch by inch, do you?"

Looking at his excited cousin, Uchiha Gin held his forehead and reminded him,
"How is that possible? I'm not an idiot."

Uchiha Madara was shocked when he heard this, then he avoided her gaze and said stubbornly,

He was originally planning to fly up into the sky on Susanoo to patrol the ninja world.

"How could I not know you? Here, take this to find Koneko-chan. She will help you gather information about the location of the tailed beasts~"

Knowing his cousin's reckless nature, Uchiha Gin shook his head, fumbled in his backpack for a long time, took out a golden cat coin, and threw it into Uchiha Madara's hand.
"This is?"

Looking at the gold coin in his hand, Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows. When he rubbed it, he found words on the back. He turned it over and found a big word "Sugar" on the back. He asked in confusion,

"I have some connections with Koneko-chan from the Sora Realm. If you take my token over, she will help you."

"Kukai is the supplier that provides weapons to the Uchiha clan. When did they start acting as information dealers?"

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara knew something about the place called Sky Realm. In his impression, the other party was just a simple arms dealer.

"You see, this is the importance of intelligence~"

Shaking his finger at the confused Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Gin said mysteriously,

"The current leader of the Sky Realm is a cat-oriented person. He started raising ninja cats not long ago. You know, cats have a wide circle of friends~"
