You know who I'm doing all this for, right?
Uchiha Makoto listened to the Daimyo's worries.
"If Your Highness permits, I would actually be more than happy to help shoulder Your Highness's burdens."
As the saying went, the key to winning or losing a game of Go was sometimes not on the board, but beyond it.
The best way to solve this kind of problem was still to use classical mechanics.
Damn it! These vermin did nothing useful all day!
Kill, kill, kill!!
Kill them all and replace them with a new batch. Wouldn't that solve everything?
The Land of Fire had plenty of ambitious young people!
In response to Uchiha Makoto's suggestion, the Daimyo merely smiled. "That was only a jest!"
You ninjas only need to hack people apart, but as the Daimyo, I have a lot more to consider.
Those nobles actually possessed considerable wealth.
Daimyo, if you refuse to play by the rules, then we'll all go our separate ways. Come on, let's hurt each other!
Faced with the Daimyo's attitude,
Uchiha Makoto merely stared at the Daimyo with a pair of dead-fish eyes and a deeply inscrutable gaze. You don't trust me, do you? Then he silently lowered his head and continued eating.
The moon sank, and the sun rose once more.
This was where the dream of Konoha had begun.
The ninjas of the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan gathered in the open space. Two enormous flags bearing the clan crests of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan fluttered in the wind.
Amid the joyous atmosphere, Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju shook hands. It represented the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan laying down their millennium-long hatred and formally entering an alliance.
The clansmen of both sides witnessed this historic moment. It felt just like a dream, and everyone could not help but erupt into cheers.
Of course,
A thousand years of enmity was not so easily resolved.
Some people were not very happy about it, such as Tobirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju had always opposed the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan making peace and forming an alliance. Deep down, he did not want the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan getting mixed up together.
In fact, because of this,
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had erupted into a fierce argument.
"Big Brother, about forming an alliance with the Uchiha Clan, shouldn't you think it over a little more carefully?"
"Although you're the clan leader, you still need to listen to the clansmen's opinions!"
"Listen to what the clansmen are calling for!"
Tobirama said this in an attempt to change Hashirama's mind about forming an alliance with the Uchiha Clan.
The Senju Clan's situation was excellent now. It could even be described as riding a dragon straight into the enemy's face.
Although Big Brother had shown mercy and let Uchiha Madara escape a few days ago. He had even thought about using a kunai to kill himself. Big Brother, did playing dice fry your brain?
But regardless, Hashirama Senju had defeated Uchiha Madara head-on, fair and square.
The war between the two clans had already been decided!
As long as Hashirama Senju found another opportunity to kill Uchiha Madara, the remaining Uchiha clansmen would pose no threat. Hashirama Senju could lead the charge and slaughter them, while Tobirama Senju could stand to the side and shout himself hoarse. The Uchiha Clan could be completely wiped out with ease.
The day of the alliance was even the perfect opportunity.
During the lull before the alliance, Hashirama Senju could completely use his authority as the Senju Clan's leader to urgently contact the Uzumaki Clan and call in Uzumaki clansmen skilled in sealing techniques. They could set up a sealing barrier at the alliance site, allowing the Uchiha Clan to enter but not leave, while the Senju Clan set up an ambush in secret. With proper preparations, they could completely catch every Uchiha clansman in one net and wipe out the Naturally Evil Uchiha!
Tobirama Senju felt that although this plan was indeed a little despicable, launching a sneak attack at the negotiating table was truly ruthless!
But!
The Senju clansmen would definitely understand. After all, every Uchiha clansman's hands were stained with the blood of Senju clansmen!
If Big Brother Hashirama felt that it would damage his reputation, Tobirama Senju could thoughtfully shoulder the blame for him. As the deputy of the Senju Clan's leader, he had been prepared for this kind of resolve since childhood.
Big Brother could remain the same innocent, kind, pure-as-a-lotus Senju Clan leader!
This victory was within their grasp!
How could they give it up?
The bright future in which the Naturally Evil Uchiha Clan vanished from the Ninja World was enough to make Tobirama Senju dance with excitement just thinking about it.
Since they could completely destroy the Uchiha Clan, why did the Senju Clan need to rack its brains to form an alliance with them? Tobirama Senju could not understand.
Faced with Tobirama Senju casually proposing this strategy,
Hashirama Senju could not help sucking in a sharp breath.
His younger brother's ideas were simply too extreme.
This plan absolutely could not spread among the Senju Clan. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Enough, Tobirama. I've already given Madara my word."
"Your idea is far too extreme!"
"I absolutely cannot allow something like this to happen. What you just said must not reach the clansmen's ears!!"
Hashirama Senju wore a frighteningly grim expression as he issued Tobirama Senju his sternest warning.
"Big Brother, I'm doing all this for the Senju Clan!"
"Enough, Tobirama. I am the leader of the Senju Clan!"
"Mutual hatred and mutual slaughter will never lead to a good outcome."
In the end, Tobirama Senju fell silent, persuaded by Hashirama Senju. Big Brother's iron fists really hurt when they landed.
Now that the deed was done,
The Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan had still formed an alliance, but everything had only just begun.
Building the village everyone dreamed of would require not only an enormous amount of resources and a great deal of time, but also handling all kinds of unbelievably troublesome affairs.
There were countless problems, tangled together like a thousand threads.
However, some matters were more urgent than others.
All the matters above were secondary conflicts.
The most important thing now was to resolve the primary conflict.
And the most important issue in front of them, as far as Tobirama Senju was concerned, was this: who would become the village's Leader?
Hashirama Senju, however, did not think the matter was urgent. The Senju Clan had already allied with the Uchiha Clan, and everyone could simply discuss the village's future together.
At worst, they could decide it by Vote.
Rather than worrying about this nominal issue, they might as well think about how to build the village. He should hurry up and use his Wood Style to create more lumber. That was what really mattered.
"Tobirama, why are you so neglectful of your proper duties!"
"The important thing now is for me to hurry up and use Wood Style to prepare the lumber needed to build the houses over the next few days."
Hashirama knew his younger brother all too well. Instinctively, he felt Tobirama was trying to cause trouble and destroy the hard-won peace between the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan.
"Big Brother. You..."
"Damn it!"
Tobirama Senju's blood pressure shot up instantly.
The Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan could form an alliance.
But they absolutely could not let the Uchiha Clan trample all over the Senju Clan!
The village's Leader had to be from the Senju Clan, right? The Senju Clan was the victor of this battle!
And another thing, Big Brother!
Don't you know who I'm doing all this for?
If you weren't my Big Brother—
Believe me, I would—
Damn it.
Oh no, I forgot to schedule this.
My roommate is moving to another campus, so we're having a farewell dinner today.
