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

Chapter 85 Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, I must control the ninja world's forces!

Leaf.

meeting room.

A group of Konoha ninja clan leaders appeared in the conference room.

They were urgently notified by the ANBU ninjas dispatched by Tobirama Senju before they rushed over.

but

The clan leaders of these ninja clans could roughly guess the content of this emergency meeting, since the conflict caused by the Hidden Cloud Village had already been widely publicized by the Akatsuki Village.

The meeting proceedings were almost identical to those before.

Hashirama Senju sat in the main seat, acting as a tool, while Tobirama Senju presided over the meeting and prepared to speak.

quickly

The ninja representatives noticed a slight difference between today's meeting and previous ones: there was an extra person in the meeting room today—Mito Uzumaki.

The Hokage's wife rarely participates in such occasions, but considering Mito Uzumaki's recent series of actions, they are not surprised. Even though, due to the traditions of the ninja world, these ninja clan representatives are very dissatisfied with Mito Uzumaki's transgressions, they can only resort to outward compliance while secretly resisting, taking into account the formidable strength of Hashirama Senju sitting next to him and Mito Uzumaki himself.

After everyone had arrived.

The meeting officially began.

"Regarding the incident where a joint team from Konoha and Akatsuki clashed with Kumogakure in the Land of Rice Fields, resulting in the deaths of one Chunin from Konoha and two Chunin from Akatsuki, for a total of three Chunin deaths, I'm sure everyone here has already heard about it."

"The Hokage believes that the Akatsuki's conditions are far too harsh, clearly intended to escalate the situation and even incite war. Konoha, adhering to the principle of prioritizing peace in the ninja world, firmly disagrees with the Akatsuki's approach and is actively seeking ways to communicate with them."

"Before that."

"I hope that all clan leaders can restrain their clansmen from spreading dangerous rhetoric in Konoha Village and lest the situation escalate further."

Instead of engaging in idle chatter as usual, Tobirama Senju went straight to the point.

Hashirama Senju wanted to control the conflict and prevent it from escalating into a war, but public opinion had already been manipulated by Makoto Uchiha. The only way to cool down the boiling public sentiment was to use a method like the Great Silence Technique.

However, such an order absolutely cannot be issued in the name of the Hokage, so the only option is for the heads of the various clans in Konoha to carry out the order to gag them. Although this method has a self-deceiving feel to it, it is the only way out.

Who can take the blame for all of this at once?

My older brother is the Hokage of Konoha, so I definitely can't carry that title.

He also has to become the Second Hokage, so he definitely can't take on that responsibility.

Let's not even mention Ban!

Then everyone will have to suffer. Each clan leader will have to bear some of the firepower. Tobirama Senju convened this emergency meeting so that the clan leaders could go back and restrain their clan members in the name of their clans, prohibiting them from stirring up trouble in public and spreading inappropriate remarks.

After Tobirama Senju finished speaking...

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

The current emotional state of Konoha is known to all the clan leaders.

The public opinion within Akatsuki Village regarding their actions was almost unanimously in favor of them. Even some of them believed that while Akatsuki Village's actions were a bit arrogant, they weren't entirely without reason.

Damn it!

A great ninja village should have the spirit of a great ninja village!

It's good enough that Konoha's ninjas don't bully others when they go out. Now the ninjas in the village are not only bullied by others, but also suffer casualties. Konoha must step in to get revenge!

Of course, many ninja clans would agree with Hashirama Senju's actions. The current peace is hard-won, and it would be a waste to escalate the conflict over just three Chunin and start a war.

That's incredibly unwise.

Tobirama Senju's order was clearly intended to get them involved in the gagging operation. Among the leaders of the ninja clans, some agreed and some disagreed.

However, none of them rushed to express their opinions, but instead turned their attention to Uchiha Madara.

The old man hasn't said anything yet.

It's best if they don't express their opinions too easily.

The Shadow Master of Akatsuki Village is a member of the Uchiha clan. Now that he is making such harsh demands on Kumogakure, most of these ninja clan leaders are shrewd and don't believe that this matter was not discussed with the Uchiha clan of Konoha beforehand.

only.

Akatsuki Village simply didn't consult with the Senju clan beforehand.

God knows whether this was an internal conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan for the right to speak in the village.

They can't afford to offend either the Senju clan or the Uchiha clan.

Let's wait and see!

"Uchiha Madara, what's your stance?"

Senju Tobirama noticed that everyone's attention was focused on Uchiha Madara, so he could only ask about Uchiha Madara's attitude first.

"snort"

Madara Uchiha turned his head away, showing no respect whatsoever to Tobirama Senju.

Who do you think you are!

Let Hashirama ask me himself!

"Madara Uchiha is truly born evil!"

Filled with resentment, Tobirama Senju could only turn to his elder brother and give him a look: "Hurry up and deal with that inherently evil Madara Uchiha!"

"Madara, this peace is hard-won; we can't let the war in the ninja world restart!"

Hashirama Senju quickly stepped forward to speak in support of his younger brother.

However.

This time, Madara Uchiha did not stand on the same side as Hashirama Senju; he hadn't even cared about this matter in the first place.

Until public opinion was stirred up by Uchiha Makoto.

Madara Uchiha only then began to pay attention to this matter.

He really liked those short essays written by Uchiha Makoto!

As expected of an Uchiha clan member.

If a Konoha ninja is killed, someone has to take responsibility. Madara Uchiha thought he could wipe out the entire Hidden Cloud Village all by himself.

More importantly...

This incident made Madara Uchiha, who had been enjoying a peaceful life, start thinking again.

Well known.

Uchiha clan members are not allowed to think freely, especially those who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The war between the ninja clans has ended.

Now is the new era of the ninja village.

But in such a short time, friction has already emerged between the ninja villages.

What about after that?

no doubt!

Such incidents will definitely become more frequent in the future!

Just like in the Warring States period, in the past, conflicts between ninja clans increased due to missions, which eventually led to war. Now, ninjas from ninja villages are causing conflicts to increase due to missions, which may eventually lead to war between ninja villages.

Does everything that I and Hashirama did still have any meaning?

Has peace truly arrived?

I'm afraid not.

Madara Uchiha had been pondering this question before attending the meeting, and even now.

Perhaps this is an opportunity.

Since wars can break out between ninja villages.

Let's take it a step further.

"I want to unify the ninja world!"

A bold idea popped into Madara Uchiha's mind.

Today is a day off, I can finally rest for a day and don't have to go to the lab.

I've been updating with 6,000 words recently.

My long-time readers know that this was not easy for me, since the last book was written in 4-day sessions until the very end, which made my neck very sore. Luckily, there was a physiotherapy shop nearby, and I felt so much better after the massage.

Another 6k today.

I'm asking for your monthly votes!!

I need 1,000 monthly passes, and I'm still short 300. Please help me!

I will always try my best to study every Saturday, as long as I have the opportunity!

And I almost forgot.

If it's convenient for readers of QRead, could you come to Qidian?

I split the royalties 50/50 with Qidian, but I only get a quarter of it from Qyue, and the results there aren't counted on the main Qidian site. I'm really upset.
