Weak men win no admiration, weak clans have no diplomacy

On this day, the Uchiha welcomed a special guest.

"Everyone says that Clan Leader Madara is a promising young man, and seeing him today, I can see he is indeed extraordinary." As soon as he met Madara Uchiha, the Fūma Clan Leader began to fawn over him.

The guest who came to visit the Uchiha, the Fūma Kōshi of the Fūma.

A top-tier expert with a less-than-stellar reputation.

Of course, when faced with three pairs of Mangekyō, any so-called strongman's reputation has to be discounted.

Fūma Kōshi was well aware of this, and therefore adopted a very humble posture.

"Clan Leader Yukifumi." Madara wasn't one to beat around the bush. After they were both seated, he immediately asked, "Our two clans are enemies. Aren't you afraid that if you come here, my Uchiha won't be able to get out?"

Fūma Kōshi, who was just about to continue cultivating the relationship, froze instantly upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Why don't you play by the rules?"

I've made it clear I'm here to surrender, but good heavens, you're going to turn on me completely?

Seeing that the man's expression was growing increasingly grim, Kyosuke couldn't help but interject, "Clan Leader Yukifumi, I heard that the nobles have already begun fighting the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Fūma Kōshi seemed to understand something and quickly nodded in agreement. "That's right, I've discovered the enemy's wolfish ambition to annihilate the Shinobi World. As a member of the Land of Fire, the Fūma has a responsibility to stand up and do something."

"Clan Leader Shi is indeed a man of great wisdom and righteousness. On behalf of the countless people of the Land of Fire, I thank you."

"Oh, no, no, it's all I should do."

Looking at Kyosuke, Madara Uchiha was stunned for a moment, as if he were seeing him for the first time.

Is this what you mean by being bad at managing affairs?

You're absolutely fucking ripe!!!

After the two finished their insincere flattery, Madara reluctantly took over the conversation. "In that case, on behalf of the Uchiha for his help."

"It's only right, it's all only right~"

Having accepted the mission to Defend the Defensive Zone, Fūma Kōshi bid farewell and departed with satisfaction.

Inside the Tent, Madara Uchiha hesitated for a long time before finally tentatively asking, "Why did you accept him?"

The implication was that he originally did not want to accept the surrender of the Fūma.

In Ban's eyes, these guys were nothing but a bunch of two-faced scoundrels.

What do you mean by seeing through the enemy's plan? It's clearly because the Moon Clan is weak that they chose to side with the Uchiha.

If they were to perish, Fūma Kōshi would undoubtedly be the first leader to storm into the heart of the Land of Fire.

Kyosuke was certainly aware of this.

Seeing that his friend still couldn't grasp the point, he could only explain casually, "Filthy people are good, I like cowardly people the most."

"We don't need Fūma's loyalty. What the Uchiha needs now is a voice that publicly supports us within the Land of Fire."

"Madara, I will not comment on the Family's past, but from today onwards, the Uchiha needs to make some changes."

Stopping Madara Uchiha from speaking, Kyosuke said with a faint smile, "I know you've never really given up on that dream."

"Sooner or later, the chaotic Warring States Period will end, and the establishment of a village is inevitable. The question is... should the Senju hold power, or should my Uchiha Clan decide?"

"Think about it carefully."

Madara Uchiha wasn't stupid; he was just a bit too stubborn.

Once some issues were clearly explained, the Clan Heir found them relatively easy to understand.

By taking in the Fūma, they will become a sharp weapon in the hands of the Uchiha.

Loyalty is unnecessary; simply instilling irreconcilable hatred between the Fūma and Senju will ensure that the other side will stand firmly on the Uchiha's side.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Senju were able to negotiate with the Uchiha, as if they were easy to talk to. The real reason is that the two sides are evenly matched, and continuing to fight would only result in mutual destruction.

The Fūma?

Senju really wanted to, he could wipe you out in a heartbeat; the idea of forgetting past grievances with a smile is simply nonexistent.

Even if Hashirama was kind-hearted, Tobirama was not good-tempered, and Fūma Kōshi could definitely see that.

In short, the weak have no diplomacy.

"... I understand." Spot nodded, having roughly figured out Kyosuke's thoughts.

If a village is to be established in the future, the Fūma will inevitably join in, and they will become a force that supports the Uchiha clan.

"Kyosuke, he really thinks things through long enough," Madara thought to himself with a touch of admiration.

In fact, Kyosuke's ideas went beyond that.

He had personally witnessed Fūma Kōshi and Black Zetsu's illicit affair.

Logically, he should have kept his distance.

But thinking about it carefully, having such a person by your side might not be a bad thing.

In the past, no one knew what Black Zetsu was doing.

With the Fūma by his side, it's as if Kyosuke has a Black Zetsu Tracker.

If arranged properly, there might be a chance to capture that Filial Son in the future.

Of course, these things couldn't be said openly to outsiders, but fortunately, he wasn't just fooling his friends with all of his thoughts.

Fūma Kōshi is definitely not the kind of person who would willingly become Puppet.

Judging from the fate of the Moon Clan, one can roughly understand what happens when one sides with Black Zetsu.

For the sake of the Family and for his own safety, I believe that Fūma Kōshi will make the right choice at this critical moment.

Patting his friend on the shoulder, Kyosuke smiled and comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Just think of Fūma as someone who's been delivered to your doorstep for practice."

"I wasn't thinking about him." Madara Uchiha looked at him strangely, then after a moment's thought, he asked, "You seem... quite interested in establishing a village?"

"Yes," Kyosuke nodded, his expression slightly serious, "I intend to become the Leader of the Land of Fire Shinobi Village."

"I understand now." Ban suddenly realized something. "That's why you didn't want to accept the position of Clan Elder."

"Clever."

"Alright." Madara Uchiha suddenly became serious and promised him, "If that day ever comes, I will do everything in my power to help you rise to power."

"And me too~" Izuna, who had absolutely no sense of leadership, finally seized the opportunity to interject. "My older brother and I will support you."

"Hahaha, with the three of us together, there's nothing in this world we can't accomplish."

Amidst their conversation, Messenger suddenly arrived outside the Tent.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, the enemy is making a large-scale mobilization; it seems they are about to launch a general offensive."

"Well done!" At this moment, Madara Uchiha was in high spirits and decided to face the enemy head-on without thinking.

The death of their father, and the countless souls of the Uchiha, will all be taken from the enemy this time.

"Send a message to the Hyuga Clan, inviting the Tennin Clan Leader to come for a discussion."

"Izuna, go find Hashirama and tell him the time for the final battle has come."

Soon, people from all sides gathered at the Uchiha's Commander-in-Chief's Tent.

The final battle is about to begin.
