Bai Ye didn't initially intend to become Hokage, but he thought that if he became Hokage, it would change the plot and naturally give him a chance to win a prize.
At the same time, he also knew that the Uchiha clan needed a Hokage, which was the Uchiha clan's lifelong pursuit.
"You want to become Hokage?!"
Hiashi Hyuga stared wide-eyed at Byakuya, clearly not expecting that Byakuya had given him more than he had hoped for.
At the same time, he was also weighing the gains and losses. Didn't Hyuga also want to produce a Hokage?
Hiashi Hyuga knew very well that the Hokage lineage had always been consistent.
The First Hokage was Hashirama Senju, one of the founders of Konoha. The Second Hokage was Hashirama Senju's younger brother. The Third Hokage was the Second Hokage's student, and the Fourth Hokage was the student of the Third Hokage's student.
The Hokage title has always been passed down within this lineage. Although the Hyuga clan has considered it, they prefer a peaceful environment to the Hokage title, so they don't have as many ideas.
However, the Uchiha clan is different. As one of the founders of Konoha, the Uchiha clan had nothing to say about the Senju brothers killing the Hokage. But the third Hokage was actually from the Sarutobi clan, a clan that had been forced to retreat from their original territory by the Uchiha during the Warring States period. How could they accept this?
Moreover, the Hokage is chosen by the people, but this Third Hokage was chosen by the Second Hokage's decree.
By the time of the Fourth Hokage, although the Uchiha were still somewhat dissatisfied, the Fourth Hokage promised to improve the relationship between the village and the Uchiha, and he did just that, so everyone naturally didn't think too much about it. However, after the Fourth Hokage died and the Third Hokage returned to power, everything changed.
"That's right, there is no such thing as a Hokage, or anyone can be a Hokage. They are old, and we are young. The village should not be in the hands of a bunch of old men holding power. The village is already dissatisfied with them. Moreover, the Hiashi clan leader probably doesn't know that Danzo is researching the village's bloodstains, right?"
Danzo was keen to study the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, but he was troubled by the fact that the Byakugan of the main family was really difficult to deal with.
But it's impossible to say he didn't covet it; Danzo wanted to get his hands on all the village's secret techniques and bloodstains.
"What do you mean?"
"His arm is covered in Sharingan from our Uchiha clan, and it was even made from the First Hokage's body cells. Isn't it strange that he always has bandages around his arm and eyes? He's been researching it all along, even taking out the First Hokage's corpse to study. Do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about this? He couldn't possibly not know, right? Don't you think Konoha is terrifying?"
"How can it be!!?"
Hiashi Hyuga stared wide-eyed, clearly finding it hard to accept what Byakuya had said; it was simply too shocking!
I never imagined that Danzo would have already started researching these things.
If what Bai Ye said was true, he instantly felt his hair stand on end, and a chill ran through his mind.
Danzo studied other bloodstains, and even transplanted the blood of the First Hokage and the Uchiha clan. It's impossible that he didn't want the blood of the Hyuga clan.
How could Hiashi possibly remain calm when a venomous snake is watching him from behind?
"How can I trust you?"
Hiashi forced himself to calm down; he felt he couldn't so easily choose to trust Byakuya.
This is all Bai Ye's side of the story. It's not impossible that he fabricated it just to get his cooperation!
"It's very simple. I recently took on a disciple, Fugaku's youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke. He will graduate early the day after tomorrow. Danzo will be at the exam site then. Just use your Byakugan to look at him."
Bai Ye said slowly, "This is not just about Sasuke's graduation."
Instead, in his capacity as the head of the Uchiha clan, he invited Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo to discuss the Uchiha and Konoha matters in detail.
Recently, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others also hoped to appease Byakuya, and since Byakuya's previous words seemed to indicate a compromise, the two of them agreed after discussing it.
The reason Byakuya invited Danzo was to show Hyuga Hiashi what was going on.
Danzo avoids public appearances these days, for fear of being scorned.
"Alright, if what you say is true, our Hyuga clan will cooperate with you. So, how do you want to cooperate?"
They've already set their sights on the bloodstains of other clans; the Hyuga clan will absolutely not stand idly by.
What the hell!
If this continues, he might not even be able to protect his own bloodstains. Hiashi Hyuga doesn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely unaware of what Danzo had done.
"I'll tell you about the plan later. If other ninja clans need help, then you'll need to help hold them off. As for the others, you don't need to deal with them; we Uchiha will handle those few!"
Bai Ye said calmly that he didn't want the Uchiha to suffer further casualties. He brought Hyuga along partly to prevent Hyuga from intervening later, and partly to have Hyuga help hold off some of the ninjas.
"Sure, if what you say is true, then we Hyuga can stop them. As for the interests of the four clans you mentioned, and the subsequent consequences, if our Hyuga clan wants to become Hokage, your Uchiha clan must support us in becoming the Sixth Hokage!"
Hiashi Hyuga quickly clarified his own conditions.
If what Byakuya said is true, the Hyuga clan will take action, and at that time there will be very few ninja clans that will help, because Danzo has already crossed the bottom line of the ninja clans: secret techniques and bloodshed!
No ninja clan could accept this.
Similarly, he agreed to let Byakuya become the Fifth Hokage, and they would fully support Byakuya in the Fifth Hokage. However, in exchange, if their Hyuga clan had a suitable candidate for the Sixth Hokage, then the Uchiha clan would also have to support him.
"Yes, happy cooperation!"
Byakuya stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Hyuga Hiashi, a hint of pleasure flashing through his heart.
Sure enough, once Danzo was shown researching the bloodstains, and even after the First Hokage and Uchiha bloodstains were transplanted, Hiashi Hyuga was absolutely unable to sit still.
Ultimately, who can be sure that they won't be the next target of research?
Moreover, and most importantly, only the main family has the power to take action, and Hiashi Hyuga certainly doesn't want to become their target again.
He even suspected that Konoha might be behind that incident.
Thinking about it this way, Hiashi Hyuga's chilling feeling grew even stronger.
Konoha seems to have truly become so terrifying under their rule!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 67 The Eternal Eye Awakens Dual Divine Might!
"Money! Lots of cash! Lord Baiye's cash flow for the past few days has come out, and it's increased by 120% compared to before!"
Within the Uchiha clan.
After confirming the cooperation with the Hyuga clan, Byakuya rushed back, where he had a conversation with Uchiha Izumi, who was the accountant.
Hmm. Itachi's childhood friend, she doesn't really like fighting, so she chose to manage the recently established Uchiha Trading Company.
She was also specially recruited by Byakuya, and since the goal was to alienate Itachi from everyone and pursue thrills, she naturally had to see it through to the end.
But during this time, her money-grubbing nature was unexpectedly discovered.
"Our Uchiha clan's finances are indeed much better than before!"
Fugaku Uchiha, standing nearby, couldn't help but remark that Byakuya's strategy of first establishing connections with the nobles of the five great nations had indeed facilitated the export of Uchiha's goods.
Ultimately, the ninja villages still have to listen to the nobles these days, and it's just a simple business transaction. The Uchiha Merchant Guild will assign delivery tasks for that area to that ninja village, which is a way for the ninja village to make some money, and they also have to pay taxes.
"In the end, these things are just more novel."
As a woman, Uchiha Mikoto hasn't used cosmetics or perfume for a long time.
She's labeled these things as luxury items by White Nights and found them to be effective after using them, so she's been using them occasionally lately, not to mention the younger women.
Baiye's concept-selling skills are indeed impressive.
"As long as the Chamber of Commerce is operating normally, Sasuke's graduation exam the day after tomorrow has been arranged, and I've also completed what I told you before."
Bai Ye nodded; he wasn't actually that concerned about business matters.
This was merely a way to win over the Uchiha people; he didn't care about money at all.
Strength is the most important thing!
Having money but no power will only lead to being completely exploited!
Ultimately, the bigger the Uchiha clan becomes, the more the Konoha F4 wants to take all the benefits away from them.
"You finished it so quickly?!"
Fugaku Uchiha stared at Byakuya with wide eyes, somewhat incredulous. He knew what Byakuya meant by those words.
Bai Ye had told him before that this time it was a collaboration with the Hyuga clan, and at the time, Fugaku Uchiha really didn't think it was going to work at all.
After all, how could he not know what kind of personality the Hyuga clan has?
But Bai Ye was actually able to persuade the other party.
"That's right, it's done."
"It looks like you're really going to succeed."
Fugaku Uchiha murmured to himself, a newfound respect for Byakuya growing in his heart. If he could handle even the Hyuga clan, then perhaps he truly could accomplish this task.
Although it would ultimately lead to a major blow to Konoha, at least it would ensure the survival of the Uchiha clan.
"By the way, what you said before was right. I had someone dig and check, and there really isn't any left. I didn't expect them to be so ruthless."
Fugaku Uchiha whispered something in Byakuya's ear. He had investigated before, and just as Byakuya said, the three-tomoe Sharingan in some of the corpses in the Uchiha graves had been dug out.
Danzo actually resorted to tomb raiding!
However, what Fugaku Uchiha didn't know was that despite the place being heavily guarded, it was still taken away in the end.
From that moment on, Fugaku Uchiha completely solidified his resolve.
Since Byakuya was able to persuade the Hyuga clan, and Danzo was also stealing the blood of their Uchiha clan, what else is there to say?
Bloodstains are very important to a family. Originally, they wanted Kakashi to return the Sharingan, but later, due to the Third Hokage's exchange of interests and Fugaku's compromise for the sake of the relationship between the two sides, they agreed to the exchange.
Similarly, Fugaku did not choose to resist on the night of the massacre because he knew he couldn't resist at that point, and Itachi wouldn't have acted alone.
But the situation is different now. Fugaku doesn't need to make a choice; a better option is already in front of him.
[Ding! You've changed Fugaku Uchiha's fate by choosing to join the rebellion. You're rewarded with one chance to draw a prize!]
coming!
Fugaku Uchiha has taken the bait!
It also comes with a chance to win a prize. Sure enough, in the Uchiha clan, changing someone's fate gives you a chance to win a prize. This place is a huge prize pool!
Silently recite "use" in your mind.
[Ding! Host has successfully activated the lottery. Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (can be filled with a pair of Mangekyou abilities)]
this! ?
The Eye of Eternity?
Isn't the combination of Sage Body, Eternal Eye, and the Uzumaki Clan practically equivalent to Madara from the Valley of the End?
Even Madara from the Valley of the End doesn't have the blood of the Uzumaki clan or the Sage Mode, but unfortunately he doesn't have the Nine-Tails either.
