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

Chapter 84 The Second Hokage is nothing, Madara wants to be me, so I'll just let him have it! Tobirama, why are you so concerned?

"Damn it, those bastards!"

"This is definitely related to them!"

Tobirama Senju's face turned ashen as he slammed his fist on the table to vent his anger.

Uchiha Makoto, that inherently evil Uchiha kid, is a member of the Uchiha clan!

Tobirama Senju simply did not believe that the Uchiha clan in Konoha had not been involved in this matter; they were still connected by blood!

Furthermore, the fact that Makoto Uchiha broke away from the Uchiha clan and established an independent ninja village on the eve of the founding of Konoha is very suspicious. The Uchiha are now colluding with each other, probably to seize Konoha, the village that he and his elder brother have worked so hard for!

This must never happen!

Tobirama Senju silently vowed to himself, forcing himself to calm down and begin to carefully analyze the current situation. He then felt a deep sense of helplessness, as the current situation left him somewhat at a loss.

The Uchiha clan probably planned everything all along this time.

He was too careless!

I've been so busy dealing with village affairs lately that I've neglected to keep an eye on the Uchiha clan. This oversight has allowed Uchiha Makoto to get entangled with the Uchiha clan in the village!

With Makoto Uchiha stirring up trouble outside and the Uchiha clan fanning the flames inside, Konoha will soon be thrown into chaos.

Especially now that the Uchiha clan has already manipulated the public opinion of Konoha, if Konoha and Akatsuki were to join forces against Kumogakure, which refuses to accept the "surrender terms," ​​they would undoubtedly be defeated. This would inevitably allow Makoto Uchiha and the Uchiha clan to gain immense prestige, and then the Uchiha clan would further seize control of the village's discourse power. This is definitely not what Tobirama Senju wanted to see.

However, if Konoha were to forcefully apply the brakes now, it would be going against the will of the people of Konoha. Although it is for the sake of peace in the ninja world, the villagers and ninjas, driven by their emotions, would not care about such things.

When venting their emotions, these people are no different from wild animals.

The elder brother's prestige and influence will definitely suffer some losses, which would indirectly increase the Uchiha clan's influence in Konoha.

There's no solution to this open scheme!

It's truly a situation where neither advancing nor retreating is an option.

"Tobirama, is the situation really that bad?"

"That's just your guess."

Senju Tobirama felt a tightness in his chest, and then confided his worries to Uzumaki Mito, who was standing nearby.

His sister-in-law, Mito, was someone he could trust.

Now might be the time to offer some advice to Tobirama Senju.

However, Mito Uzumaki had great faith in Tobirama Senju's abilities.

But

In this matter, she felt that Tobirama Senju was simply worrying too much.

She's met Uchiha Makoto before!

As Mito Uzumaki's mentor in female consciousness, she naturally viewed Makoto Uchiha through a lens of prejudice. How could that handsome, loving, and progressive young man be the scheming schemer that Tobirama Senju described?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

It must be Tobirama Senju maliciously speculating about Makoto Uchiha's thoughts.

"Sister-in-law, you and brother are both too kind-hearted. You haven't seen the true colors of the Uchiha clan at all. That's how the Sharingan works; the more extreme one's ideology, the more powerful it becomes. They are a group of potentially dangerous individuals. Those people are capable of anything!"

Tobirama Senju, with an air of "my elder brother and sister-in-law are all drunk while I am sober," had already seen through the true nature of the Uchiha clan, so he would never have any mercy or unrealistic fantasies about the inherently evil Uchiha clan!

We must be on guard against them!

"Tobirama, what are you planning to do?"

Mito Uzumaki knew she couldn't persuade Tobirama Senju, and she didn't intend to get entangled with him on this topic any further. Moreover, the situation was urgent, so she simply asked Tobirama Senju if there was any good solution to the problem at hand.

"Let's go and find our eldest brother first. We need him to take charge of things right now."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju dispatched an Anbu ninja to immediately notify his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, to come to the Hokage's office. Then, he silently considered several countermeasures in his mind.

However, he needed the cooperation of his elder brother, Hashirama Senju. The Shadow Hokage was ultimately just a shadow, not the real Konoha Hokage who shone brightly.

But

The eldest brother always liked to side with outsiders, which left Tobirama Senju quite helpless.

Subsequently

Not long after.

"Tobirama, what's going on? I feel like something's off about Konoha's mood!"

"Big brother, aren't you incredibly slow-witted?"

Hashirama Senju was then taken to the Hokage's office by the Anbu ninja. He was always slow to realize the situation in Konoha, and his sensitivity to the situation was even slower than when he was the head of the Senju clan. Tobirama Senju thought this was probably because he was "blinded" by Madara Uchiha.

then

Tobirama briefly analyzed the current situation for Hashirama, and then began to explain in detail his speculations about the Uchiha clan. He was very thorough in his explanation. Whether his older brother believed him or not was his business. In any case, he was determined to tell his older brother the truth!

"Brother, the situation is already very dangerous. Your choice will determine the future of the village. So for the sake of Konoha, use the True Several Thousand Hands technique against the Uchiha clan!"

Tobirama Senju desperately wanted his elder brother to launch a full-scale attack on the Uchiha clan. Anyone who dared to cause trouble in the village would be dealt with using the True Thousand Hands technique, with one punch taking down an Uchiha!

"Enough, Tobirama, stop talking like that! What you're saying is just speculation! I don't believe Madara and the Uchiha clan would do such a thing. If Madara wanted to be Hokage, he could have just told me!"

"For the sake of Konoha's peace and future, Madara is perfectly capable of becoming the Second Hokage!"

Hashirama Senju slammed his hand on the table, completely disbelieving Tobirama Senju's speculation.

Tobirama, his old habit has relapsed!

For the sake of a mere title of Hokage?

Why did Madara and the Uchiha clan go to such lengths, even risking a war? If Madara wanted to become Hokage, he could have simply told him directly, and Madara could have stepped down and become the Second Hokage.

"wcnm***"

"***"

Tobirama Senju's eyes widened in an instant.

He really wanted to swear at his older brother, but Tobirama Senju held back, screaming inwardly.

Even Mito Uzumaki, standing to the side, covered her face, speechless at Hashirama Senju's astonishing remarks. The most absurd thing is that this kind of thing could actually happen.

"Brother, I won't argue with you!"

"Then let me ask you. Then let me ask you."

"Now that Akatsuki has blown things up, what's the difference between the compensation terms and the defeat clauses proposed by Uchiha Makoto? What is he trying to achieve?"

"He clearly has malicious intentions, wanting to escalate this matter and deliberately instigate a war!"

"Konoha is in an uproar over this matter. With public opinion in turmoil, war could very well break out at any moment!"

Tobirama Senju no longer wanted to argue with Hashirama Senju about Makoto Uchiha's collusion with the Uchiha clan.

He was a little scared.

My older brother is a brainless idiot!

What if Brother really acts impulsively?

What should we do if he announces to Konoha that Madara Uchiha is the Second Hokage of Konoha?

I work myself to the bone in this office every day, often until midnight. Aren't I just working for Madara Uchiha?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

I should be the Second Hokage of Konoha! The Shadow Hokage will one day stand in the sunlight!

"This...this..."

Faced with Tobirama Senju's probing questions, Hashirama Senju was speechless. He also felt that Makoto Uchiha's proposed compensation terms were far too harsh, leaving no room for compromise for the Hidden Cloud Village.

It can be said that...

Whoever signs these terms will be a sinner against Kumogakure, and Kumogakure will become a laughing stock in the entire ninja world because of these terms.

"However, Uchiha Makoto has really gone too far. I think Madara should immediately send Uchiha clansmen to have an emergency conversation with him. That should solve the problem."

After thinking for a while, Hashirama Senju said this, but Tobirama Senju scoffed at his words.

"What if the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha, and Makoto Uchiha all shared the same thoughts?"

"How could that be? Madara wouldn't do that; he loves peace too!"

"Even if Madara Uchiha didn't have this idea, he can't completely represent the attitude of the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, how could Makoto Uchiha have started a new organization outside?"

Tobirama Senju sneered at Hashirama's answer and immediately began to refute it.

In his view.

My older brother is so naive!

Madara Uchiha was on very good terms with his older brother, and he might not care about these things, but the Uchiha clan wasn't necessarily on Madara's side. Makoto Uchiha was the most obvious example.

The Senju and Uchiha clans were able to make peace mainly because Madara Uchiha, the eldest brother, held the dominant position. How could a thousand-year-old blood feud be pacified in just one or two years? The Uchiha clan of Konoha is probably still resentful, and they want to win back their former allegiance through another means.

So, since Makoto Uchiha has already colluded with the Uchiha clan of Konoha, how could he possibly act as his older brother suggested?

It's estimated that they'll just pay lip service to it, and will symbolically send ninjas to negotiate with Uchiha Makoto, but they won't be able to get any decent results. The Uchiha clan will definitely return empty-handed.

Unless Madara Uchiha goes in person.

But

Even if Madara Uchiha were to go in person, Tobirama Senju would still be uneasy, and even more worried. His elder brother and sister-in-law had both been bewitched by that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Makoto Uchiha. What if Madara Uchiha was the same?

That would make things even worse, and the situation might become completely out of control.

Although Tobirama Senju did not possess extraordinary power, he understood these issues far better than his elder brother. Human nature is treacherous; he himself was a cunning and ruthless old devil!

"Tobirama, what do you suggest we do?"

Hashirama Senju had a headache; he hated all these complicated and roundabout things.

So why can't we all be simpler, more straightforward, and more considerate of each other, taking one step at a time? Then many misunderstandings and conflicts would disappear.

"Brother, your attitude is crucial."

"Since the situation is beyond saving, the best course of action is to follow the will of the people and launch a strong attack on Kumogakure, bypassing Akatsuki, to regain control of the situation and turn the tables. In this way, Konoha can also use this opportunity to establish its authority in the ninja world, and your status and reputation in Konoha can be further enhanced."

Tobirama Senju offered the best solution: although Makoto Uchiha had already laid out his plan, there was still a way to break it. All Hashirama Senju needed to do was lead the Konoha ninja army to force Kumogakure to admit their mistake with overwhelming force. Then everything Makoto Uchiha had done would have been a self-inflicted wound.

The reputation and fame almost all belong to the Senju, and Uchiha Makoto and the Uchiha clan can only get a little bit of the benefits.

But it's just my older brother, he

"No, you can't!"

"How could I do such a thing! This could have been resolved through dialogue and negotiation, why did it have to escalate into war? So many people will die in that!"

"One day, this hatred and humiliation will plunge Konoha into endless war!"

As Tobirama Senju had expected, Hashirama Senju immediately shook his head vigorously, indicating that his elder brother would never agree to the matter.

He's too naive.

He naively believed that everyone in the world was as naive as he was.

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

Tobirama Senju sighed inwardly. Although he had expected this answer, he still couldn't help but bring up the plan. What if his older brother suddenly had an epiphany?

"Since you want to resolve this peacefully, and Konoha is currently in a state of high anger due to Akatsuki, let's try to calm things down first. We can't do anything about Akatsuki, so we'll just have to deal with whatever they say."

Senju Tobirama spread his hands, his tone filled with helplessness.

No matter how cunning he is.

At this moment, all we can do is passively respond.

Brother, this is a dead end.

Hashirama Senju was unwilling to launch a heavy attack and only wanted to negotiate peacefully.

How can negotiation be as useful as a big Buddha?

He doesn't want to attack Kumogakure, so he certainly won't take any coercive measures against Akatsuki. Without military backing, Konoha's so-called negotiations are useless to Akatsuki.

Moreover, Akatsuki Village also claimed to be acting out of a sense of righteousness, seeking revenge and compensation for the deaths of Chunin.

No one could utter a single word of "no".

As for those harsh conditions for the Hidden Cloud Village?

Whether they were low-ranking ninjas from Konoha or Akatsuki, none of them cared about this matter; they were currently celebrating with great joy what Uchiha Makoto had done!

Both sides are not considering the same thing at all. Everyone has their own little plans. The grassroots ninjas want to be domineering and preferably have unreasonable backers.

Hashirama Senju doesn't want war, he only wants peace. Anyway, Tobirama, you have to figure something out for me!

Tobirama Senju is now caught in the middle, unable to move, and is in a terrible predicament, like a daughter-in-law caught between her in-laws and her children. She has to take care of the feelings of the lower-level ninjas of Konoha and also take care of Hashirama Senju. She can't take care of both sides, so she can only compromise her children rather than her in-laws.

Brother, I must have owed you something in my past life!
