Early the next morning, heavy fog rose from Konoha Gate.
Tobirama Senju He carried his luggage and left the village quietly without disturbing anyone. The moisture in the morning mist wetted his luggage and blurred the path forward.
His figure drifted away in the thick fog.
Being alone, there is an indescribable loneliness and heaviness.
For Tobirama Senju, this trip is really dangerous!
"Yu Zhicheng, damn you... sooner or later you will have to come to my door and beg me like this!"
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi..."
"But when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads!"
"How should we deal with Uchiha Makoto's difficulties... just give in and give in? When we meet, we shout Lord Shadow, forgive me. Is this a stupid person?"
Seems too flattering!
How could I be so humble and humble!!
"The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power, using the name of the eldest brother to suppress Uchiha Makoto's arrogance first?"
No, this is too much.
Uchiha Makoto may not necessarily buy it!
"Dear Light Shadow, everything is a misunderstanding. We are half-brothers!"
"Brother, I'll apologize to you!"
As for building a relationship?
How disgusting!
You actually want to take the initiative to become brothers with Uchiha Makoto?
Tobirama Senju just complained all the time.
Countless thoughts were constantly colliding in his mind. Facing the predicament at hand, he simulated countless meeting scenes in his mind, but every way of meeting made him dissatisfied.
Inadvertently...
Tobirama Senju has already arrived at the periphery of Akatsuki Ninja Village. It has not been a long time since he last left Akatsuki Ninja Village. However, Tobirama Senju raised his eyes and observed the surroundings, but felt that Akatsuki Ninja Village's development speed seemed to have accelerated a lot.
"He who comes, stop there!"
"Strange ninjas entering and exiting Akatsuki Ninja Village need to be inspected!"
The Akatsuki Ninja responsible for patrolling here quickly discovered Tobirama Senju and stopped him directly.
"I am the messenger of Konoha..."
Tobirama Senju first reported his name and then accepted the inspection by the patrolling ninja according to the procedure.
The news was immediately delivered to Uchiha Makoto who was working at Light Shadow's Office.
"Tobirama Senju, as expected, he's still here."
"It's a few days later than expected... Send the order and take Tobirama Senju to the reception room where there is already a queue, and then leave him alone. I want to let him go for a while!"
Uchiha Makoto raised the corners of his mouth, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he even couldn't help but hum softly - He had been waiting for too long for the day when Tobirama Senju would come to the door and submit.
Now I finally got it!
However, Uchiha Makoto is not in a hurry to see Tobirama Senju, he plans to kill Tobirama Senju first!
How can it be so easy to ask for help?
Change to before.
If Tobirama Senju represents Konoha and wants to see Uchiha Makoto, it will always be the first priority. There is no need to queue, and you can just open the door of his office and walk in.
But now.
Tobirama Senju came to apologize, and Akatsuki Ninja Village was at a time when Land of Fire was in hot demand, and high-yielding crop seeds and Chemical Fertilizer were in short supply. Too many wealthy merchants and nobles wanted to get the goods, and they even came to Akatsuki Ninja Village in person to ask to see Uchiha Makoto.
He should wait in line honestly with this group of people first!
Soon, Tobirama Senju successfully passed the inspection of the patrolling ninja, and Anbu Ninja, who arrived shortly afterwards, took him into the interior of Akatsuki Ninja Village.
"This is not the route to Shadow Building. I want to see Uchiha Makoto. Where are you taking me?"
"Lord Shadow, I don't have time to see you now. If you want to see Lord Shadow, you have to queue up first!"
"What... queue?"
"I'm going to see Uchiha Makoto. Do I have to queue up?"
Tobirama Senju has been to Uchiha Makoto's office more than once, but the Anbu Ninja in front of him obviously had no intention of taking him in that direction.
With the keenness of a ninja, he couldn't help but ask Anbu who was leading the way.
However, the answer he got made him very unhappy - the last time he came to Akatsuki Ninja Village, he always left as soon as he went to Uchiha Makoto's office. He even had to kick the door to let Uchiha Makoto hear it. Now that he wanted to see Uchiha Makoto, he actually had to queue up?
Obviously.
Uchiha Makoto has already started to make things difficult for himself!
Then...Tobirama Senju chose to be patient.
Once you are patient, you are open-minded and patient!
"This is it."
"Please."
Anbu Ninja brought Tobirama Senju to the door of the reception room.
As soon as he walked into the room, Tobirama Senju attracted everyone's attention. His ninja costume was really eye-catching.
Tobirama Senju raised his eyes and scanned around.
There were quite a lot of people in the reception room, seven or eight in total, and then he found a corner and sat down, thinking in his mind how to deal with the possible difficulties Uchiha Makoto would encounter next.
While waiting, a wealthy businessman in brocade clothes came over and got close to Tobirama Senju.
"This brother looks unfamiliar. Look at your demeanor. Are you a ninja? This is rare - you also came to see Lord Shadow to discuss cooperation?"
Tobirama Senju responded lightly, "Yes."
The wealthy businessman looked him up and down and said in a low voice, "How are you preparing the contract amount? If it is less than ten million taels, Lord Shadow will not even show his face. If it is not enough, I advise you to go back as soon as possible to avoid waiting in vain."
"Ten million taels?"
"Uchiha Makoto's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. How can he be willing to meet people for such a huge deal?"
Tobirama Senju raised his eyebrows and deliberately chatted with the wealthy businessman, Jonin couldn't help complaining about the outrageous amount of money, but the wealthy businessman opposite looked like he was used to it.
"Then the contract amount prepared by Ninja Village——" the wealthy businessman changed the topic and asked tentatively.
"Commercial secrets." Tobirama Senju interrupted unceremoniously and rolled his eyes.
He finally understood that this wealthy businessman was here to spy on information and regarded himself as a competitor.
Seeing that his intention was revealed, Hao Shang was not embarrassed. He chuckled twice and sat back down. He took out a small mirror and repeatedly practiced smiling in front of the mirror as if no one was around, trying to figure out his expression and expression, as if he would not stop until he had formed muscle memory.
Seeing Lord Shadow is a big deal.
Never be careless!
This made Tobirama Senju couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Seeing this, the wealthy businessman took out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to Tobirama Senju.
"Meeting each other is fate. Don't be serious. Being able to negotiate a business and make money is better than anything else!"
"It's good to make money, don't worry!"
Tobirama Senju hesitated for a moment.
He remembered that the purpose of coming to Akatsuki Ninja Village today was to give Uchiha Makoto a smile.
But should I take it?
I am Shadow Hokage of Konoha. In front of so many people, I use a small mirror to practice smiling on Uchiha Makoto. This is even more uncomfortable than killing him!
"No, it's just Uchiha Makoto!"
Tobirama Senju still maintains his strength.
The wealthy businessman glanced at his mouth and then continued practicing.
Time passed little by little.
Soon, the people in the room received notifications one after another and walked out, leaving Tobirama Senju alone in the room.
The only sound left in the air was the ticking of a clock, which was particularly harsh.
Tobirama Senju was originally thinking about a countermeasure, but as time passed by, the initial anxiety was gradually replaced by impatience.
The sunlight outside the window slowly moved from a slant beam to the center, and then gradually tilted to the west. The warm yellow light fell on him through the window lattice, "Uchiha Makoto, you bastard, you deliberately kept me dry for so long!" Tobirama Senju's fingertips tapped the edge of the chair unconsciously. He could imagine that Uchiha Makoto was most likely sitting in Shadow Building's office at this moment, leisurely and contented, maybe still waiting to see how furious he looked.
Just when he couldn't help but get up and wanted to go directly to Uchiha Makoto's office and kicked the door, the door of the reception room was finally pushed open. Anbu Ninja, who had led the way before, walked in and said expressionlessly, "Master Tobirama Senju, Lord Shadow is free to see you now, please follow me."
Soon, they walked into Shadow Building and arrived at the office door without any obstruction.
Anbu stopped, made a "come in" gesture, then turned and left.
Tobirama Senju stared at the closed door, with countless meeting scenarios flashing through his mind. He raised his hand and paused, but in the end he did not kick the door as usual, but knocked lightly.
"Come in."
Uchiha Makoto's careless voice came from inside the house, with a somewhat playful smile.
Tobirama Senju pushed the door open and saw Uchiha Makoto sitting behind a large desk, holding a tea cup. He raised his eyes and looked at Tobirama Senju: "Ah~ it's Shadow Hokage here!"
"What is the purpose of coming to Akatsuki Ninja Village this time?"
Uchiha Makoto began to ask questions knowingly, with a strange tone in his tone.
"I...Uchiha Makoto, stop pretending here, you actually want to laugh, right?"
"Regarding the last cooperation between Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village, you used eldest brother's Wood Style to cultivate high-yield crop seeds... Regarding this cooperation, eldest brother sent me over to renegotiate with you."
After all, Tobirama Senju still couldn't talk like Uchiha Makoto, so he used the sign of Hashirama Senju.
But Uchiha Makoto doesn't care at all.
Uchiha Madara had already written to himself in advance to inform him of the one thousand hands. Hashirama asked Tobirama Senju to come to Akatsuki Ninja Village to take the blame for himself. He could be bolder in his methods and don't worry about Hashirama Senju. If something happened, he would bear it!
"Tobirama Senju, you Naturally Evil's Old Ghost Senju!"
"In the beginning, I discussed this business with Hashirama Senju in person and hoped that Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village would cooperate together."
"But Hashirama Senju rejected me because of you, but now you come to me and say, Uchiha Makoto, let's work together again."
"You have no respect at all. You don't regard me as a friend. You don't even want to call me Lord Shadow."
"What have I done to deserve you disrespecting me so much?"
"Your attitude really makes it difficult for me to handle it!"
Uchiha Makoto said this to Tobirama Senju while playing with Two-Tails Matatabi in his arms.
Tobirama Senju's face turned red instantly.
Although he had already expected that Uchiha Makoto would show such an expression, but now seeing this scene, he really wanted to use Flying Thunder God Slash to hack the arrogant and proud Uchiha Makoto in front of him.
But... he can't!
For Konoha, I endure it!
"Lord Shadow..."
"What did you say? Lord Shadow didn't hear you!"
Tobirama Senju has no choice but to submit to Uchiha Makoto.
However, Uchiha Makoto deliberately put his hands to his ears, hoping that Tobirama Senju could speak louder, and then the veins on Tobirama Senju's forehead were pulsing. He couldn't bear it anymore!!
"Lord Shadow!"
"That's right."
"You didn't ask for me in the past, and you were always kind to me. At that time, if you called me Uchiha Makoto, I wouldn't pick on you, but now you have to address me in front of me!"
"With your face before, people who didn't know better would have thought you were Konoha Hokage. You're really neither big nor small!"
"Why, are you not convinced?"
There are very few opportunities to point at Tobirama Senju and scold him without him being able to fight back.
Uchiha Makoto spoke more and more arrogantly and kept pointing at Tobirama Senju. He liked to see Tobirama Senju's expression of being furious but unable to do anything.
"Let me ask you, who is the shameless person responsible for this incident from beginning to end?"
"Who!"
"Speak, look my eyes!!"
"It's me."
Tobirama Senju is still enduring. He repeats silently in his heart that the so-called patience means being open-minded and being patient!
Then Uchiha Makoto did something Obedience Test to Tobirama Senju.
Including but not limited to "Is this a deer or a horse?" "Liu Er, what is boiling in this pot."
Tobirama Senju knew that Uchiha Makoto was deliberately disgusting him, but he still endured it.
All this is for Konoha!
66
"Okay, feel comfortable.
3
"This time I am really happy. Thanks to Hashirama Senju for signing the mission agreement, and thanks to Lord Madara for assisting...
Uchiha Makoto was so addicted that he sighed and dried his mouth as he talked. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
And Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over!
There were several times when he almost couldn't help but fall out with Uchiha Makoto.
Uchiha Makoto, you Naturally Evil's Uchiha brat!
If we meet again in the mountains and rivers, why don't you wait for me!
Sooner or later, you will definitely regret it. I don't believe that you didn't ask me for help!
While Uchiha Makoto was drinking water, Tobirama Senju secretly and fiercely stared at Uchiha Makoto. He only dared to do so secretly, because he was afraid that Uchiha Makoto would deliberately cause some moths.
"Okay, Lord Shadow, now that you've vented your anger, should we discuss cooperation again?"
Tobirama Senju got down to business. He had endured Uchiha Makoto for so long and was finally going to get the fruits of his harvest.
But Uchiha Makoto showed a malicious smile.
"What cooperation?"
"Have I ever promised you that after I get angry, I will renegotiate the contract with Konoha?"
"Go back to Konoha. I believe Hashirama Senju is a ninja who keeps his word. Unlike you, who only crickets me behind my back."
Uchiha Makoto showed off the deliberately prepared final blow.
Those difficulties just now can only be regarded as appetizers, and what is now is the main meal. After all, he has never seen Tobirama Senju break his defense.
"????"
"Uchiha Makoto, you damn... I'll kill you!!"
Tobirama Senju's eyes widened, obviously not expecting Uchiha Makoto to play this trick with him.
What the hell! What a beast!
Are you playing with me like this?
After holding it in for a day, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.
