Hokage: Unable to persuade Madara, I chose to build my own ninja village.

Chapter 13 The Land of Fire is teeming with insects!

"However, Your Highness's words are true..."

"Lord Madara has already believed Hashirama Senju and accepted the Senju clan's peace treaty. Moreover, the Uchiha clan members have also accepted this."

Uchiha Seirin said a lot of things.

In short, the Uchiha and Senju clans ceasing their fighting and making peace has become a foregone conclusion.

The more the daimyo of the Land of Fire heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

Makoto Uchiha observed the Daimyo's expression.

The timing is perfect!

The once-cold stove of the Great Name has now been warmed up by himself!

"However, I will absolutely not sit idly by and wait to die! I cannot simply watch the Uchiha clan walk into a pit of fire!"

"Your Highness, since Hashirama Senju wants to win over the ninja clans and establish ninja villages, then I certainly can too. To be honest, the reason I left the Uchiha clan was for this very reason."

"But winning over ninja clans and establishing ninja villages... alas... I just don't have the financial resources!!"

Uchiha Makoto tilted his head back, raised it at a 45-degree angle, and glanced at the Daimyo with moist eyes.

My meaning was already so clear.

Damn it!

Damn it, hurry up and send the money!!

I know you're quite wealthy!

Watching Uchiha Makoto's "genuine emotional outpouring," a superb performance that showed he was willing to die for his clan... brought tears to my eyes.

Daimyo's face finally broke into a smile again.

He wasn't afraid of Uchiha Makoto making demands of him; he was afraid that Uchiha Makoto would just give up on his fate.

Because of the theory of the threat posed by Hashirama Senju, the daimyo have inevitably begun to make these connections.

Now that the Uchiha clan has made peace with the Senju clan because of Hashirama Senju, what if other ninja clans in the ninja world unite because of Hashirama Senju, creating a super ninja village made up of ninjas? Hashirama Senju, you want to unify the ninja world today, what do you want to do tomorrow?

Even Uncle Deng, who had mastered the Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel, knew that "clubs need balance."

How could a great name not understand this principle?

"Haha, what's so difficult about that?"

"I am aware of the Uchiha clan's predicament. If you, Makoto, also wish to establish a ninja village, I can represent the Land of Fire to provide you with financial assistance."

Upon hearing the daimyo's words, Uchiha Makoto straightened his clothes, smiled, and firmly grasped the daimyo's hand. He had finally secured the daimyo of the Land of Fire as his financial backer... angel investor!

"Your Highness, the Uchiha clan will never forget your help today!"

"I stand firm, unwavering, and steadfast in my support of Your Highness!"

As Uchiha Makoto spoke, his words struck the daimyo's heart, making the daimyo feel completely relaxed and his blood rushing to his head.

This young man in front of me is really savvy!

The daimyo also grasped Uchiha Makoto's hand, everything was understood without words.

The alliance between the two was officially formed.

Uchiha Makoto needs the financial support of the daimyo.

The daimyo needed Uchiha Makoto to act as a pawn, to keep the ninja clan as divided as possible, and to maintain the appearance of the Warring States period.

After the conversation ended, the daimyo specially invited Uchiha Makoto to stay for a meal. No, he invited him to eat with him.

Uchiha Makoto gladly accepted the daimyo's invitation. He hadn't eaten much all day and had been drinking tea in the reception room.

The tea did taste quite good, with a rich aroma and a sweet aftertaste, but drinking tea alone really didn't keep me full. Moreover, in order to reach the capital of the Land of Fire as soon as possible and meet the Daimyo, Uchiha Makoto had been eating nothing but soldier pills the whole way. As everyone knows, soldier pills taste terrible. When they were invented, the taste was not considered at all.

Inside the palace.

With the daimyo's command, one delicious dish after another was placed in front of Uchiha Makoto.

At the same time, the sound of singing and dancing began, and rows of young girls dressed in revealing clothes entered the room and began to dance gracefully.

Uchiha Makoto was a carefree person. Faced with this scene, he chose to stare at it directly, not because he was lustful, but because the flowers were in full bloom. If he didn't appreciate them, he would seem to lack appreciation for romance.

But it must be said that Daimyo's life was truly luxurious, and the food he ate was really good (specifically referring to the food).

The daimyo of the Land of Fire sat leisurely in the high seat, taking a sip of fine wine.

Alcohol can drown sorrows

Especially on rainy days, holding a glass of fine wine and quietly gazing at the beauty of nature can bring immense relaxation to both body and mind.

"Makoto, if only everyone could be as carefree as you."

The daimyo suddenly sighed like this, and most people couldn't understand his feelings at that moment.

Being a Daimyo in the Naruto world is no easy task.

Although the daimyo is nominally the leader of the country and holds the highest power in the Land of Fire, the rigid class structure over thousands of years has led to the ninja clans constantly banding together for mutual support, wantonly dividing up the power in his hands. By his generation, bureaucratic politics had become so prevalent that it had become uncontrollable.

Now, aside from handling a few major official duties, he spends most of his time playing games and hunting.

The daily affairs of the Land of Fire are basically handled by the ministers.

It's not that he doesn't want to expand his power, but that he can't.

In his youth, he was ambitious and wanted to break free from the shackles of the bureaucratic system, to open the windows, let in some fresh air, and get rid of all the red tape. The old, creaking bureaucratic machine of the Land of Fire was revitalized. The daimyo had had enough of the shadow government and wanted his own transparent government!

Then that afternoon, the ministers delivered a white paper.

The white paper is simply titled "Transparent Government"!

What followed was a mountain of files and execution documents, which he had to deal with, filled with obscure and difficult-to-understand clauses.

"Regarding the enforcement of legal provisions, any abnormal or irregular situations between responsible departments fall under the jurisdiction of the administrative department."

There were countless memorials piled up over the years, interspersed with all sorts of meetings. Even if a daimyo were to die from exhaustion, he couldn't handle so many things.

Besides the exhausting official duties, when the daimyo inquired about the implementation of the policy to reduce the number of civil servants.

"Will this policy actually be implemented?"

His ministers could only helplessly shrug.

"Your Highness, if you insist that I speak plainly, I can only say that, given the current situation, considering the overall picture, looking at history and the past, taking into account the average level of each department, and analyzing and summarizing, it is possible to conclude that, in summary, you may find that, although it may not be pleasant to hear, the outlook is probably delicate—this is the only expectation at this stage."

"Just tell me if you agree or not!"

"It's not allowed, even if it's possible!"

Even a small move by bureaucratic politics had a profound impact on the name of the emperor.

In the end, Daimyo chose to give up.

Fortunately, though.

During his many years of living a life of leisure, nothing significant happened that could affect the daimyo's status.

In this Land of Fire, which is still an agricultural country, putting aside the issue of ninjas, the ministers only need to do one thing well.

"Leave the cattle and horses half-dead."

It's a historical event.

The ninja clans, who were originally focused solely on missions and generational feuds, seem to have begun to change.
