Listen to Grand Elder's analysis.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's expressionless face finally had some color.
"Grand Elder, are you saying that if everything goes well, we can break up those two guys and start fighting again?"
There is no doubt about it.
The "two guys" in Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's mouth are Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju.
As long as they stay Konoha for one day, no matter how strong the storms outside are, Konoha can still stand firm and motionless.
"Your Highness, that's it."
"Uchiha Clan will be unable to hold back sooner or later, because Akatsuki Ninja Village's performance is too dazzling. To be honest... I also understand why they have an inexplicable self-confidence. They always feel that whatever Uchiha Makoto can do, they will be able to do it."
"Hmph, Uchiha has always been like this."
When I think of Uchiha Makoto.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's face immediately darkened.
Uchiha Makoto has been like an extremely shining star since his debut, reaching the top of Ninja World at an extremely fast speed.
But he just doesn't look like a serious ninja!
The good-looking Kage's divine robe didn't want to wear it. Instead, he seemed to have fallen in love with the clothes he was wearing. At first, he had vowed to say something shamelessly in front of him, saying that Hashirama Senju wanted to wear the clothes he was wearing!
It's really a traitor and a loyal person!
Uchiha Makoto is now becoming more and more of a threat to Land of Fire. In a sense, his threat is even greater than that of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
"Grand Elder, I believe in your ability."
"Just solving one Konoha is not enough. Akatsuki Ninja Village has always been a serious problem for us. We cannot suppress Konoha and let Akatsuki Ninja Village completely lead the ninjas in Land of Fire."
"Your Highness, don't worry, we are not the only ones who are eyeing Konoha, Akatsuki Ninja Village is also the same. Don't look at Uchiha Makoto now using the identity of Uchiha to hide behind Akatsuki Ninja Village to control the political situation of Konoha, but he will also be dragged down by it."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's eyes suddenly lit up after listening to it.
Then Grand Elder took a breath, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to speak.
"Once the plan goes well, Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan break out again. It can be imagined that from the overall strength of both parties, Uchiha Clan is still in a weak position against the Senju Clan. When the two sides come to fight, Uchiha Makoto can't stay out of it, because Uchiha Clan will definitely find ways to tie Uchiha Makoto into his own chariot, and we just need to fan the flames, play a role in public opinion, and help Uchiha Clan do this."
"The conflagration of two ninja villages will definitely severely damage their vitality and sow hatred between each other. Then we can control the group of ninjas in a balanced way like in the past."
I have to say.
Land of Fire Elder's idea is correct.
Once those gangsters Uchiha Clan are really stupid and are provoked into a fight with the Senju Clan, and combined with Uchiha Madara's intention to leave Konoha with the Uchiha Clan, the plot may really turn out as he expected.
At that time, Uchiha Madara might still bring Hashirama Senju to Naka Shrine to look at the piece of Stone Tablet, and then ask Hashirama Senju whether he is more important, or Tobirama Senju and the village.
And obviously with Hashirama Senju's character, he can't let go of either side.
Such hesitation will only make Uchiha Madara more determined to leave Konoha with the Uchiha Clan.
Hashirama Senju is also not a fool.
Even if he usually does not participate in Konoha's government affairs, he must know that Konoha cannot bear the consequences of a founding family like Uchiha Clan rebelling against the village.
One person wants to leave, the other wants to stay... In the end, the two people will just fight.
When Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, who were already fighting each other and fighting each other, saw the heads of their families fighting again, they would probably assume that the talks between the two parties had broken down, and they would immediately assemble their armed forces and prepare for it.
Tobirama Senju is another complete bastard.
No matter what, Hashirama Senju is Hokage of Konoha. You can use this reason to lead people to attack Uchiha in the name of suppressing the rebellion.
He would never let go of such an opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
... because Tobirama Senju can no longer stand this kind of political environment where you have me among you and you have me among you Konoha.
In order to unite people and for the "prostitute" view of history, he did not know how many Uchiha Makoto, Uchiha Clan grievances he suffered because of this.
In his opinion, Uchiha Clan is like a cancer. If you keep letting it go, sooner or later, Konoha will take away the foundation of Akatsuki Ninja Village little by little because of the existence of the Uchiha Clan. In the end, everything about Konoha will be fully accepted by Uchiha Makoto, the Uchiha brat of Naturally Evil.
Tobirama Senju cannot accept this kind of thing like making a wedding dress for the Uchiha Clan.
He would rather face the huge infamy, cut off his wrists, and forcibly cut off the cancer Uchiha Clan in advance.
Of course he dares to do this because Hashirama Senju can fight and he can win!
--Brother, can you still beat Uchiha Madara?
As long as Hashirama Senju can win, Konoha can actually bear any consequences.
It's nothing more than a history book of the final years.
"Write!!"
"Uchiha Madara defected in Susanoo. During the final battle, Chakra was insufficient and was stabbed to death in the back. The whole Uchiha family joined the traitors, and Konoha showed mercy..."
"Don't change a word!"
It is impossible for the remaining Konoha Ninja Clans to join other ninja villages under such great pressure. After all, they have put all their family's wealth on Konoha over the years.
However, due to the overwhelming power of Tobirama Senju, they can only pretend they didn't see it and keep silent about this period of history.
Those remaining members of the Uchiha clan could only dare to dig out the ninja tools left behind when Tobirama Senju's overwhelming power dissipated, and dug out the remaining half of the newspapers... They wanted to explore the truth of that year through the scattered fragments.
It's just a pity.
Everyone who knows the truth is dead, and only the dead can know the truth.
Of course...
In this extremely dangerous situation for the family.
Uchiha Clan definitely won't just sit back and wait for death.
There are such powerful foreign aids as Uchiha Makoto and Akatsuki Ninja Village next door, it is impossible for them not to ask for help.
And Uchiha Makoto's identity as a member of the Uchiha clan means that he will never be able to stand by and watch this happen... If the family that gave birth to you and raised you is in trouble and doesn't come to rescue him, he, Light Shadow, will lose all his face.
But once you get involved in such an incident, it's really not easy to escape again.
The hatred of the Uchiha people... will always be repaid with blood.
It would be unreasonable for Uchiha Makoto not to kill some people, but this would also give Tobirama Senju an opportunity to exploit the problem.
Rather than letting Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village compete in development speed, Tobirama Senju is more willing to take this opportunity to use some simple and quick methods to grab a big one from Akatsuki Ninja Village.
He, a bastard, doesn't have the courage to rob expensive Clan Elder men's property, but he does have the courage to rob fellow ninjas' property, and he is very courageous!
After some heart-to-heart analysis.
Grand Elder's voice gradually became louder. Although he was not sure that he could accomplish these things, at least he did see hope now.
At this stage, the top leaders of Daimyo and Land of Fire need this kind of hope.
"Grand Elder, as expected of you."
"He is really the minister of Land of Fire humerus!"
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire sighed like this, and his whole body and mind relaxed.
The changes of the times have made him look down on the direction of the road ahead, but fortunately, the accumulation of time and experience is not useless.
At least from Grand Elder's words, he seems to have seen a firefight between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan, with heavy casualties on both sides, Uchiha Makoto angrily attacked, causing Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village to also have a fight. In the end, he, Daimyo, had to personally mediate.
"How can Guardian Ninja, who are both from the same village as Land of Fire, stand against the same wall as brothers?"
"Stop it quickly!"
Just think about this scenario.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and he even couldn't help but hum.
"Your Highness, we can't rush this matter. We can't rush the decision-making in a short while."
"Conflicts need to be created little by little. When small contradictions accumulate into big contradictions, we can complete the victory in one battle!"
Grand Elder frowned slightly. He didn't want the pie he drew to make Daimyo have inexplicable fantasies, thinking that this matter could be successful quickly, or that it would definitely be successful.
Therefore, it is very necessary to leave redundant time and space.
"Grand Elder, don't worry, I never lack patience."
"My ancestors spent countless hours putting a cage on the ninjas. Now that they want to break free, we, the younger generations, have to spend time and effort to tighten and reinforce this cage just like our ancestors did."
"It doesn't matter if we fail once or twice... we will always succeed."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire said so.
Years of being in power and battling with the bureaucracy have made him a mature politician. He has the patience to lay the bait and wait.
"In that case, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead, Grand Elder. As the New Year approaches, there are many things to do, including state affairs and family affairs. You have to take care of everything. It's really not easy."
"I have some good ones here... go back and drink some. It's good for your health."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Grand Elder bowed and saluted, saying thanks.
Then he slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the palace.
And the Land of Fire gate watched Grand Elder leave.
After a while, through the window.
He watched as Grand Elder completely disappeared from his sight.
At this time, the light snow outside the window seemed to have become heavier, but Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's mood was completely different from before.
With the sound of wind and snow outside the window, he ordered the attendants around him to bring up the chessboard and started playing chess with himself.
For ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a very boring thing, but Daimyo enjoys it. He likes the feeling of knowing the opponent's chess moves and what choices he will make when encountering difficulties... This sense of control is a kind of enjoyment for him.
"The most important principle in the world is checks and balances.
"Neither let good people have too much power, nor let them be helpless. Neither let evil people have trouble moving, nor let them do whatever they want."
"The human heart is like running water, always rushing between highs and lows. Since it is impossible to explore the light and darkness of human nature, let everyone stay in the same chess game."
Soon, he was the only one left in the room, and the sound of Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire mumbling from his mouth echoed.
Konoha.
It has been snowing heavily all day and night.
As far as the eye can see, the entire village is pure white.
New Year is coming.
Uchiha Clan, Senju Clan, both of their families chose to temporarily forget what happened this year.
These grudges can be settled next year. The most important thing now is how to have a good New Year.
The two families have temporarily given up their past grudges. The villagers and ninjas of Konoha can naturally notice that the atmosphere of the village has changed. The originally tense and stormy atmosphere inside Konoha has turned into a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
Almost everyone is immersed in the joy of welcoming the New Year.
Of course, there are also a few sporadic people who are unhappy.
For example Hashirama Senju.
Uchiha Madara was out for so long and finally caught Nine-Tails back, but Hashirama Senju could feel the changes in Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara became more and more indifferent and withdrawn.
What makes Hashirama Senju even more sad and unacceptable is that he originally hoped to invite Uchiha Madara to his home to celebrate the New Year like last year, but this proposal was directly rejected by Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara chose to stay alone in Naka Shrine and think about Stone Tablet.
Mito Uzumaki is not very happy either.
Because Hashirama Senju.
Hashirama Senju looked like he had lost his wife, and was mumbling, "Banbanban... why doesn't he want to be with me..."
Such an overly deceptive behavior made Youwu Mito unhappy at all times.
Of course.
And Tobirama Senju, he is not in a good mood either.
As time went by, the assassination plan became more and more perfect, and there was only one suitable opportunity left. However, he still had an instinctive resistance to the assassination of Grand Elder, for fear that something unexpected would happen in the matter, and he would be involved in a Uzumaki that would be difficult to escape from.
As the new year approaches, the increasingly heavy workload aggravates his depression.
Besides that.
And Hiruzen Sarutobi.
His mood has also fallen into depression from time to time, because his close friend Shimura Danzō has been acting strangely recently. It is clear that the New Year is approaching, and Shimura Danzō has not accepted the mission, but sometimes he can be seen for several days in a row.
Not only that, when the two met and talked, Shimura Danzō always talked to him with a tone that was both proud and a little determined.
This made Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but worry about his companion.
In short, Konoha may not be able to live it with peace of mind this New Year.
