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

Chapter 87 Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, it's not easy for anyone. Uchiha Madara, you can't beat my older brother.

"Spot, that's enough!"

"I will absolutely not agree to this!"

"Why start a war, and a series of wars at that, just for something that didn't happen? Have you forgotten that our original intention in establishing Konoha was to spare our children from going to the battlefield, and to create a peaceful living environment? Haven't we achieved all of that now?"

"Why can't we resolve conflicts through dialogue, negotiation, mutual understanding, and honesty?"

Hashirama Senju slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

He is very satisfied with his current peaceful life, so it is impossible for him to accept Madara Uchiha's plan to have Konoha launch a war against the entire ninja world now for the sake of a possible future war.

Such a reversal of priorities.

Not only would it cause Konoha to lose its current peaceful environment, but it would also plunge the entire ninja world into endless war.

This is absolutely absurd!

"Hasilama, you're so naive!"

"It's not easy for people to be completely honest with each other. Rather than letting Konoha fall into war in the future, let's shoulder all of this and fight the war ahead of time!"

Madara Uchiha felt that Hashirama Senju was far too naive; honesty and sincerity between people were not so easy to achieve.

Moreover, this is between ninja villages. Instead of pursuing that vague possibility, it is better to take the initiative in our own hands. This is what Konoha should do!

"nonsense!"

"Why can't it work?"

"Aren't we, the Senju and Uchiha clans, the best example? We understood and trusted each other, and finally shook hands and made peace, establishing Konoha together. How can we so easily break the peace that we worked so hard to achieve?"

Hashirama Senju was not swayed at all. Instead, he talked about how the Uchiha and Senju clans had joined forces to establish Konoha. This was something that had happened right before his eyes, something he had personally accomplished.

Humans are path-dependent.

Especially when faced with a similar situation after achieving success, they will unconsciously apply their previous successful experience.

Hashirama Senju felt the same way. He believed that he could do the same things he had done in the past. If the Uchiha and Senju clans, who had fought each other for thousands of years, could do such things, why couldn't the ninja villages do the same?

Even though Mingban has never tried it!

The argument between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju intensified. Their ideologies were fundamentally different and irreconcilable. At first, they could communicate logically and clearly, but later it devolved into a pure emotional outburst, eventually turning into a contest to see who could shout the loudest.

"Hassy Hot Mom, you're so naive and stupid!!"

"Madara, you're too stubborn and extreme!!"

An indescribable pressure and chakra emanated from the two of them, making the atmosphere in the room feel as heavy as if it were carrying a mountain.

This is the situation.

The clan leaders of the various ninja clans who participated in the meeting were now at a loss. Most of them had never witnessed the battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. They sat there in shock, marveling at the terrifying strength of the battle.

Even though they were just sitting on the sidelines watching the show, and the pressure wasn't directed at them, why did it feel like they could be killed at any moment?

Has the difference in strength between them and these two old men become so terrifying?

"Please don't let them fight!"

"They absolutely mustn't merge!!"

"We're just here for a meeting!!!"

The ninja clan chief shouted in his heart, and then finally someone who reacted quickly stepped forward and began to frantically try to smooth things over.

"Garlic birds, garlic birds have it tough!"

"Yes, yes!"

"It's not easy for anyone, we can totally talk about it, Lord Madara, Lord Hashirama, please don't hurt our relationship, we're all doing this for Konoha!"

The clan leaders of the ninja clans reacted and began to chime in. Tobirama Senju watched everything unfold before him. Although he was worried that his elder brother and Madara Uchiha might suddenly attack Konoha, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Stir it, stir it!

You two have fallen out, haven't you?

This is absolutely fantastic!

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, it's not easy for either of you. Uchiha Madara, you can't beat my older brother."

Tobirama Senju made a symbolic shout, and Madara Uchiha seemed to hear something. He glanced coldly in Tobirama Senju's direction, then stormed out of the meeting room. Hashirama was too naive!

Hashirama Senju hurriedly chased after him.

He believed he had to convince Ban; he absolutely couldn't let him do anything foolish!

The meeting ended hastily.

Madara Uchiha stormed out of the meeting room in a huff, and Hashirama Senju quickly chased after him. In the end, Tobirama Senju cleaned up the mess and finished the rest of the meeting, mainly focusing on the issue of gagging people to silence them.

After all, he's the younger brother.

Tobirama Senju will definitely stand on his elder brother's side.

The villains who are disrupting the peace of the ninja world have already emerged!

Madara Uchiha, who was born evil, is one of them!

And then there's that inherently evil Uchiha Makoto!

They are birds of a feather, both possessing "astounding wisdom." If you let them lead you astray, you'll eventually capsize the great ship that is Konoha.

As for unifying the ninja world?

Even if Konoha could accomplish it, such an unprecedented and unparalleled feat is not something that you, Uchiha Madara, could possibly achieve.

Senju Tobirama thought to himself.

He finished recounting the entire agenda and then concluded the meeting.

After the emergency meeting ends.

Konoha immediately issued a statement. Although Tobirama Senju wished he could kill Makoto Uchiha, that naturally evil Uchiha brat, the wording of the announcement was still very tactful, and he did not choose to directly stand against Akatsuki.

Forcibly covering their mouths is already going against public opinion; if they were to directly call Uchiha Makoto an idiot, that would be a blatant betrayal of their ally.

Tobirama Senju didn't want to be branded as someone who betrayed his allies.

Xiaoren Village.

Makoto Uchiha sat in the Kage's office, looking at the latest announcement released by Konoha.

The announcement clearly stated: "Konoha hopes that Akatsuki will adopt a proper attitude, exercise restraint, refrain from escalating the incident, and propose reasonable negotiation terms."

at the same time.

Konoha will send an envoy to Akatsuki Village as soon as possible for further communication.

"Just as I thought."

After reading the announcement, Makoto Uchiha did not show any disappointment. Konoha's attitude was exactly as he had expected; they would not stand on the same side as him on this matter.

Even according to the latest secret intelligence.

The ninjas of all the clans in Konoha began to keep quiet about the conflict between Konoha, Akatsuki, and Kumogakure, and even ordinary villagers were given warnings to remain silent.

It's likely that the envoy sent by Konoha soon will also try to persuade me to abandon the harsh compensation terms and settle the matter peacefully for the sake of peace.

We're all decent people; if we both compromise, this matter is over.

"The announcement didn't directly oppose Akatsuki; it was rather tactful. That's enough. As long as Konoha doesn't openly turn against them, Kumogakure will think that Konoha and Akatsuki are playing good cop/bad cop!"

Makoto Uchiha didn't care whether Konoha would send troops to help him; Akatsuki was enough to deal with Kumogakure!

"Abandon illusions, prepare for battle!"

"Konoha's statement has arrived; it's time for Kumogakure to take some action!"

Still 6k today!

The meaning is obvious!

I need monthly passes!!!
