Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama!

The Female Kung Fu Mutual Aid Association has been actively recruiting female kunoichi from Konoha Village, with the ambition to swallow up all the female kunoichi in Konoha.

Senju Tobirama still processes documents in the office every day, and uses his spare time after get off work to do his scientific research experiments.

It’s just that there are a group of people behind him who like to call him a plagiarist.

Because "New Ninja" magazine received special funding support, its sales in Konoha have once again climbed steadily. Konoha's top management also subscribes to "New Ninja" every day. They found that some of the decrees recently issued by Senju Tobirama were similar to those of Akatsuki Village, or they were inferior versions, which were not even good enough to be copied.

However, Senju Tobirama still remained stubborn.

If you didn’t copy, you didn’t copy!

"Madara, I'm going back first. I've been away from home for so long, Mito will start nagging me again when he sees me."

"understood."

Senju Hashirama said this.

He waved to Uchiha Madara and walked straight towards his home.

Akatsuki Village.

In the conference room.

All the senior leaders of Akatsuki Village gathered together.

Uchiha Makoto's face turned pale. He really didn't expect that at this time, the Cloud Ninja would have the courage to attack the ninjas of Akatsuki Village and Konoha Village. Don't they know how to write "death"?

"Damn it, Cloud Ninja!"

“Dare to kill my horse!!

According to the report from the Anbu ninja just now.

The two sides not only fought each other.

Konoha and Akatsuki Village each suffered casualties, with one Chunin dying in Konoha and two Chunins dying in Akatsuki Village.

Although Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama disliked each other and always wanted to find opportunities to provoke each other, the cooperation between Konoha and Akatsuki Village continued.

Especially when it comes to executing tasks.

A large A-task.

Konoha sent a ninja team, and Akatsuki Village also sent a team. The two teams went to the Land of Rice to carry out the mission together. On the way, they encountered ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village. A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and eventually both sides suffered casualties.

"Master Guangying, I'm afraid this matter is not a misunderstanding. In the past, when our ninja clan went on missions, we would fight over the missions and even suffer casualties. Such things are inevitable!"

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. Just gather us all here."

"Yes, yes, this kind of thing is inevitable. As long as we make compensation afterwards, it will be fine."

A group of small family leaders began to discuss. In their eyes, it was common for small families to play both sides during the Warring States Period. As long as the compensation was paid in place afterwards, it would be fine.

Uchiha Makoto frowned. He didn't like what these small families said.

"Chief Kaguya, what do you think?"

"Lord Light and Shadow, I think we should just send our troops to kill the Cloud Ninja!"

Kaguya Masao behaves like a great ninja.

When someone in the family dies, it's not something that can be resolved simply by paying compensation.

what?

Someone died in the Hidden Cloud Village too?

That’s none of my business!

Chapter 80: I am surrounded by opponents, but I have not been defeated yet. Why do you treat me as a war criminal?

"War?"

Kaguya Masao had just finished speaking.

Uchiha Makoto saw the senior leaders of Akatsuki Village looking at each other, and then they continued to talk at once.

"Isn't this a bit hasty?"

"How can this war be treated as such a joke?"

"Chief Kaguya, please do not bring your family's bad habits to the Akatsuki Village meeting."

"."

War is not just talk. It not only results in deaths but also costs a lot of money!

The detonator will make you a fortune when it explodes. This is not a joke.

This only involves a part of the military supplies. The most common consumables such as kunai and shuriken are not included. In addition, there are logistical support, post-war pensions, etc. The expenses of each of these are frighteningly high.

Moreover, the era of ninja villages has just arrived, and the wars between the various ninja clans have only subsided for a year or two. This period of time is undoubtedly a rare and precious time of peace.

Each village is feeling its way forward, trying to adapt to this new era.

At least at this stage.

The vast majority of ninja villages spend their funds on internal village construction, with the military budget accounting for only a small part of it. Only a few ninja villages will invest huge military budgets like Uchiha Makoto. The detonating talisman factory secretly built by Akatsuki Village has never stopped since it was put into production.

the most important is

The war between ninja villages has never happened in the history of the ninja world. Once the war starts, when will it stop?

No one can predict how tragic such a war will be, but one thing is certain: it will be a war of unprecedented intensity, and many people will die in this war.

All of these people here have managed to survive the wars of the Warring States Period.

If I could live well.

Who wants to die?

The most important thing is to start a war of this level just for two Chunins?

Is this really reasonable?

Shouldn't the most important thing for the ninja village now be the development of the village, spending precious funds on cultivating the new generation, and maintaining good relations with surrounding forces as much as possible to avoid major conflicts?

Especially in an incident like this involving the deaths of people from two major ninja villages, shouldn't both parties do their best to reduce the impact of this incident, then negotiate compensation, shake hands and make peace, and once again maintain the hard-earned peace?

Why choose to go to war directly?

Not only the smaller ninja clans opposed it, but most of the larger ninja clans also opposed it. Even the Snow Clan and the Kurama Clan, who were also bloodline ninja clans, completely disagreed with Kaguya Masao's opinion. Could this nonsense-talking battle maniac of the Kaguya family be directly kicked out?

Uchiha Makoto frowned.

He naturally understood the thoughts of the Akatsuki Village leaders in front of him.

The current peace is hard-won.

Just for the two Chunins

And they were two dead Chunins.

Well known.

No one would pay more for a dead ninja.

Now the Akatsuki Village is waging war against another large ninja village, but the benefits gained are far less than the price paid. We are all adults now, and adults think in a way that weighs the pros and cons. Acting impulsively will only make things worse.

This is like the Hyuga family handed over a scapegoat, Hyuga Hizashi, in order to maintain peace. This brought about the peaceful development of the village and saved countless people from war. From Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective at the time - for Konoha, which was in urgent need of recuperation, this deal could be said to be a huge profit.

The relationships between ninja villages are based on human relationships and are not just about fighting and killing.

However, Uchiha Makoto and the Akatsuki Village leaders in front of him were considering completely different things. The Akatsuki Village leaders were concerned about the little piece of land in front of them. Akatsuki Village was currently in a very good state, with sufficient funds, rapid economic development, and the family members were also growing up healthily. It was a place full of vitality and everything was flourishing.

Why should I destroy this wonderful life just for two Chunins?

Uchiha Makoto had a God's perspective, and he knew clearly the future changes and developments of the world. Once Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fell out, and Uchiha Madara defected to Konoha, the First Shinobi World War had entered the countdown, and the subsequent Battle of the Valley of the End was equivalent to lighting the fuse of the powder keg of the First Shinobi World War. The time the fuse burned was the time for war preparations. Konoha was challenging the four major ninja villages alone, so how could its own Akatsuki village be spared?

For a longer-term future.

Since the Hidden Cloud Village has already found an excuse to start a war, the Akatsuki Village must not miss the opportunity. Now is the best time to weaken the Hidden Cloud Village's strength. Anyway, with Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara supporting them, they will definitely not lose the Ninja War. It can even be said to be a one-sided battle.

However, Uchiha Makoto could only keep these words in his stomach and could not say them to the senior leaders of Akatsuki Village in front of him. Even if he told them that the First Ninja World War would break out in the future, they probably would not believe it.

People always care more about the gains and losses in front of them.

"Everyone, be quiet."

As soon as Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, the conference room became quiet.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Uchiha Makoto.

"When faced with this situation, there are generally six ways to deal with it."

"One, let it be."

"Second, issue a statement expressing regret for the accident."

"Three, lodge a formal protest."

"Fourth, stop aid."

"Five, sever diplomatic relations!"

"Six: Declare war directly."

"Leaving it alone will only make outsiders think that Akatsuki and Konoha are weak and can be bullied. Issuing a statement and lodging a formal protest does not demonstrate the strength of Akatsuki and Konoha."

"The fourth option is 'stop aid'. Akatsuki and Konoha haven't provided aid to Kumogakure, so this option is out of the question. The same is true for 'severing diplomatic relations'. Akatsuki and Konoha haven't established diplomatic relations with Kumogakure, so this option is also out of the question."

"So the only option left for us is the sixth one, to go to war directly!"

Uchiha Makoto first gave six options, then eliminated the first five options at the speed of light, leaving only the last option, "start a war directly."

The senior officials of Akatsuki Village were stunned. They were confused by the long and difficult sentence. In the end, they only heard the last sentence: "Start a war directly!"

"Master Guangying, please think twice!"

"How can this matter be so serious?"

"It's just the death of two Chunins. Is it necessary to start a war?"

"."

Not surprisingly.
