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

Chapter 69 The inherent flaws of Konoha caused braids to grow on the back of people's heads.

Makoto Uchiha stood there, spouting nonsense with an air of seriousness. Although his words were completely nonsensical and couldn't stand up to scrutiny, they still delivered a devastating blow to Shinji Uzumaki's heart.

After all, Uchiha Makoto was planning to pay.

When wealthy people speak, even if they are talking nonsense with a straight face, there will be plenty of people who will take their nonsense as gospel.

"What a wise and outstanding Lord Light and Shadow! It is truly an honor for the Uzumaki clan to have such an ally!"

Shinji Uzumaki thought to himself, then looked at Makoto Uchiha and readily agreed to the request.

As long as it allows the Uzumaki clan to hold their heads high in front of Konoha, that's all that matters. Of course, even within the Uzumaki clan, the 36.8 billion ryo dowry should be publicized discreetly, but the Uzumaki clan absolutely cannot slack off. They must firmly remember the kindness of Akatsuki, their ally, which comes from the grace of Lord Kage!

Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku's eyes sparkled as she looked at Uchiha Makoto with adoration. She felt that Uchiha Makoto, who spent lavishly and didn't care about fame, exuded a captivating charm in every gesture.

After the matter was settled.

The Uzumaki clan and Akatsuki Village quickly drafted an alliance agreement. Then, Uchiha Makoto, as the Light and Shadow Master, represented Akatsuki Village by pressing his red thumbprint on the agreement and signing his name. Uzumaki Shinji did the same.

"We hope you can stay in Akatsuki Village for a few more days, so that Akatsuki Village can do its best to be a good host."

Uchiha Makoto made some polite remarks, wanting Shinji Uzumaki and his group to stay in Akatsuki Village for a while longer, since there was still a large sealing barrier outside Akatsuki Village that needed a sealing jutsu master to design.

Since Shinji Uzumaki has become the head of the Uzumaki clan, it is conceivable that he must be the top sealing technique master in the ninja world. If he is in charge, the sealing barrier around Akatsuki Village will certainly not be inferior to that of Konoha Village.

They should at least be about the same.

The 36.8 billion taels cannot be wasted!

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

Shinji Uzumaki didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement.

He also plans to personally participate in the wedding design of Uchiha Makoto and Uzumaki Shizuku, which involves the face of the Uzumaki clan and cannot be taken lightly.

Shinji Uzumaki then left Makoto Uchiha's office without lingering, intending to leave the room for Makoto and Shizuku Uzumaki to spend time alone together. He reasoned that the two of them needed time to develop their relationship.

However, Makoto Uchiha poured a glass of his favorite honey water for Shizuku Uzumaki and then returned to his desk, as there was still something very important to do.

That is to inform Konoha of the alliance between Akatsuki and the Uzumaki clan, and the news of his own connection with Uzumaki Shizuku. After all, Akatsuki is currently an ally of Konoha, and his own clan, the Uchiha clan, is still in Konoha. In addition, Konoha and the Uzumaki clan have a close relationship.

Therefore, Konoha should have known about this news immediately, both emotionally and logically.

Makoto Uchiha was really looking forward to Konoha's reaction.

Especially that one.

The Thousand-Handed Demon, born evil!

Konoha

At this moment.

While Tobirama Senju, the Shadow Hokage, was busy with his daily tasks in the Hokage's office, the real Hokage of Konoha was checking the small wooden boxes that had been placed there the day before, one by one, throughout the streets of Konoha.

"It's empty."

"It's empty again."

"Why is it still empty?"

The more he examined it, the more tense Hashirama Senju felt.

Just a while ago.

Hashirama Senju spent an entire afternoon pleading and begging before finally managing to get two million ryo from Tobirama Senju. He used this money to build fifty wooden crates, each containing forty thousand ryo, hoping to learn from Akatsuki's advanced practices and eventually conquer Konoha, the village he admired.

But the result was a resounding slap in the face.

During this period, no one was willing to add any more donations from their own pockets. On the contrary, after only two nights, all 4 yuan in each wooden box had disappeared.

"It's a deep-seated flaw!"

"This is the inherent weakness of Konoha ninja!"

Hashirama Senju stood dejectedly in the street, shouting in frustration as he released his inner sense of defeat. He had been full of confidence, wanting to show Tobirama Senju the success of his operation, after all, he still had high hopes for Konoha Village, which he had built with his own hands.

But

The result was disappointing, and could even be described as a complete failure.

The two million taels were completely wasted.

soon.

Hashirama Senju's "crazy" behavior on the street caught the attention of passersby.

After all, the villagers of Konoha were quite familiar with Hashirama Senju. With nothing to do, Hashirama Senju began to wander around the streets and alleys of Konoha like a street urchin, and his innocent and infectious smile quickly made him a familiar face.

These villagers, on the other hand, were relatively unfamiliar with Tobirama Senju, who had always been doing practical work.

After all, Tobirama Senju was busy with daily affairs in his office from morning till night. He was too busy to keep up with his work and also had to take time out to do his scientific research experiments. He had no time to show his face and make his presence known to the villagers.

On the contrary, the higher-ups in Konoha were more familiar with Tobirama Senju, since Tobirama Senju handled all the village's daily tasks and affairs involving various clans.

"What's wrong with Lord Hashirama?"

"Looking dejected?"

"What exactly is this 'inherent flaw'?"

The villagers murmured amongst themselves, listening to Hashirama Senju's voice: "I was too naive. Konoha truly has its inherent flaws!"

"You don't even recognize their inherent weaknesses?"

"Have you seen 'New Ninja'? It's the most popular and best-selling magazine in the Land of Fire, and it's even sold to the other four great nations. It can be said to be the best-selling book in the entire ninja world."

"no."

"You haven't even seen this? You're so out of touch!"

"See that little wooden box? It's completely empty now. I guess Lord Hashirama wanted to imitate the Akatsuki, but the result wasn't what he hoped for. Actually, I saw that little wooden box yesterday. As expected, Konoha has its flaws!"

"Yes, yes, I agree with what you said!"

"My friend has been to Akatsuki Village, and everything I said is true; he told me it himself!"

"The Akatsuki Village is full of equality, freedom, and is very wealthy. The villagers there are kind-hearted. Compared to the Akatsuki Village, our Konoha is still far behind. This is our inherent weakness, and we can't change it."

A few people in the crowd started talking amongst themselves, their words filled with admiration for Akatsuki and disdain for Konoha. These were very strange people, but there were quite a few of them. They always liked to belittle their own land and inexplicably elevate outsiders, thereby satisfying their strange sense of superiority.

Unbeknownst to them, a wispy braid had grown out of the top of their heads.

"How dare you speak so disparagingly of Konoha!"

"You scoundrel!"

There are still righteous people among the crowd.

However, such voices were quickly refuted.

"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts."

"Is your pathetic pride really that fragile? The truth is right before your eyes. Look, all the money in the money box has vanished into the Akatsuki village."

The speaker's face was full of mockery.

I spent another afternoon working on diagrams.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted senior sister lent me a helping hand; her skill in creating graphics was so adept it brought tears to my eyes.

How many diagrams must one make to be this skilled!

sad

Today's word count is still 6,000.

I'm really amazing.

The first and second parts are in harmony.
