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

Chapter 95 These villagers are ignoring even the orders of the Ninth Prince of Konoha; we must strike hard!

"Brother, at this time, Konoha must not escalate the situation. We should appeal to Akatsuki and Kumogakure to exercise restraint, and then send Konoha's ninja army to the battlefield to mediate and prevent the situation from escalating further."

"However, considering that Akatsuki is our ally, within Konoha we should announce that we are forming a ninja army to aid Akatsuki, but in reality, it will be a mediation operation!"

Senju Tobirama was determined to protect Konoha in his own way.

He immediately rejected the first option that came to mind, because Tobirama Senju knew very well that his older brother would definitely not agree to his first option.

Then we can only resort to a compromise.

The eldest brother should be a nice guy.

I want to smooth things over.

For Konoha.

This time, I'll just go along with his wishes.

As for the mediation plan proposed by Tobirama Senju, it can only be described as utter nonsense.

In other words, the eldest brother is really naive and naively believes that mediation will produce results.

Akatsuki Village has achieved a great victory on the battlefield and is now on a winning streak. How could they possibly let it go so easily? Meanwhile, Kumogakure Village lost over a thousand ninjas overnight. How could they possibly swallow this insult?

Akatsuki Village only achieved a temporary victory by using sneak attack tactics. Although it did show the powerful strength of Akatsuki Village, Senju Tobirama knew very well that Kumogakure Village was, after all, a great ninja village that dominated the entire Land of Lightning, and it was not made of mud.

Once they realize what's happening, the Hidden Cloud Village will take the most insane revenge against the Akatsuki Village!

This war has only just begun!

Both sides will definitely fight tooth and nail!

Akatsuki used the pretext of avenging the "dead Chunin" to justify its actions, and Konoha, as an ally, should naturally stand unconditionally on Akatsuki's side.

But

The current strength of Akatsuki has exceeded Tobirama Senju's expectations, and he believes that he must now find a way to suppress Akatsuki's development!

The current war is the best solution. We should take advantage of this opportunity to make Akatsuki and Kumogakure fight to the death, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, and gradually eliminate the fighting forces of both sides.

What Konoha needs to do is delay as much as possible.

Forming a ninja army always requires the allocation of ninja personnel, negotiations with various ninja clans, the procurement of supplies, and the construction of logistical defenses. There are so many things to do, and it takes time to process them all.

Regarding the matter of aiding Akatsuki, it's not that we won't provide aid, but rather that we must select suitable ninjas to provide it, have wealthy ninja clans provide aid, and ensure that the aid is not blind but precise, scientific, efficient, and strategic. We must also ensure that powerful ninjas provide aid, and have a family like the Senju clan, which is good at management, lead the aid. At the same time, we must also take into account special circumstances and provide flexible aid.

In short, there are many excuses for procrastination.

Tobirama Senju could come up with a whole bunch of ideas just by thinking about them.

The only thing that gave Tobirama Senju some concern was the village's public opinion.

He was very worried that the public opinion that had been suppressed would rise again. This was a conspiracy by Uchiha Makoto and the Uchiha clan. Once it happened, it would happen again and again. Once Uchiha Makoto and the Uchiha clan succeeded this time and tasted the sweetness, they might use public opinion to interfere in the internal affairs management of Konoha next time. What would they do next time?

Will they interfere with the selection of the next Hokage of Konoha?

Even Tobirama Senju was a little scared.

How can such a thing be allowed to happen?

He has already decided to be the second Hokage of Konoha!

The titles "Shadow Hokage" and "Ninth Thousand Year Old of Konoha" are not given lightly!

He was the one who established the Anbu (secret branch of the Ninja Guard), and he was the one who planned the Ninja Academy.

Who is working overtime in the Hokage's office day and night?

Is it the eldest brother? Is it Madara Uchiha? Or some other Uchiha clan member?

All the ninja clans have seen this!

Moreover, the 10 billion ryo of financial power that he obtained from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was not acquired for nothing!

Although this statement is somewhat biased, it is the same not only in Akatsuki Village, but also in Konoha, and even in the entire ninja world. Whoever controls the finances has the loudest voice.

Who is part of Konoha's Nine Thousand Year Old faction?

Who will offer their loyalty to the Ninth Prince of Konoha?

Whoever does so will receive priority access to Konoha's financial support.

Tobirama Senju was highly politically astute; he knew how to use his power and how to win over the ninja clans.

They took too much.

Even if he wasn't one of Tobirama Senju's people at the beginning, he is one of Tobirama Senju's people now!

Many families in the village are already willing to support him. The Senju clan goes without saying, but the Sarutobi and Shimura clans are already staunch supporters of Tobirama Senju.

Back then, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura caused a huge disaster, and it was I who asked my older brother to clean up their mess. Later, because of this incident, I was even mocked by that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Makoto Uchiha. These two clans can never repay such a huge debt of gratitude!

In order to completely subdue these two families, Tobirama Senju even gritted his teeth and accepted Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura as his disciples.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were indeed promising talents. In order to make up for their mistakes, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura not only trained day and night, but also kept doing quests to save money to pay off their debts. They wished they could stretch a day into two.

Tobirama Senju saw all of these efforts.

It's normal for young people to make mistakes.

Although the trouble they caused was indeed huge.

But as the saying goes, to err is human, to forgive divine.

If they persisted in this way, Tobirama Senju believed that the two of them would surely achieve great things.

Besides

There are also the three clans of pig, deer, and butterfly, and some of their core members want to become their followers.

And the oil-dwelling women.

The Inuzuka clan.

There are other small ninja clans, all of whom are potential supporters.

Konoha can only have one voice, only one will, and that is the voice and will of the Hokage. Since my elder brother is not involved, then as the Shadow Hokage of Konoha, the Nine Thousand Years Old of Konoha, I can make all the decisions!

How could he allow those noises to interfere with Konoha's normal operations, affect his plans, and impact Konoha's future? Those low-level ninjas who were misled by Uchiha Makoto, and those ignorant villagers—Senju Tobirama usually cherished his reputation and didn't bother with them.

At this moment, Tobirama Senju also made up his mind that a few feathers could be discarded.

Because this is to save the future of Konoha.

The crucial moment has arrived.

If these villagers and low-ranking ninjas don't even follow the will of Konoha, then they are no longer ordinary villagers and ninjas!

Tobirama Senju will not show mercy; he must strike hard against these people!

All of this is for Konoha!

Tenosynovitis hurts so much.

Requesting monthly votes.

It's too difficult to use the 6-day system, I'm going to try using voice input.
