"Grand Elder, what you said is true."
"It must be Tobirama Senju, Naturally Evil's Old Ghost Senju who used tricks behind the scenes to deceive Hokage, Light Shadow!"
"If we find out the truth... we can punish him with a crime that is detrimental to the handling of the case!"
Uchiha Great Elder The corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
Land of Fire Elder's proposal simply spoke to his heart.
Ever since the Public Lecture family was stomped on the head and humiliated by Tobirama Senju, and lost face in front of the entire Konoha, Uchiha Clan has been holding back his energy, but he couldn't find a legitimate excuse to attack Tobirama Senju.
Now a good opportunity falls from the sky!
Land of Fire Elder took a deep breath, and he raised his eyes and looked at Uchiha Great Elder, feeling quite resentful that iron cannot become steel.
He has already reminded me so clearly.
How can a mere accusation that is unfavorable in handling the case be enough to deal with Tobirama Senju?
Even if this crime is placed on Tobirama Senju, it will not cause any substantial harm to him at all.
It's nothing more than picking it up high and putting it down gently.
After all, the country belongs to the country, and the village of ninja belongs to the village of ninja, and Land of Fire cannot interfere with the internal power of Konoha. It is impossible for Hashirama Senju to beat Tobirama Senju to the end just because of this small mistake.
"Great Elder, don't you think that the assassination of my whole family has something to do with Tobirama Senju?"
"Otherwise, why would Tobirama Senju deliberately deceive Hokage and Light Shadow?"
"Grand Elder, you mean...Tobirama Senju planned the assassination against you?"
"You're not joking."
"Tobirama Senju... I don't have the guts..."
Uchiha Great Elder is a little unbelievable. This is an angle that he has never considered as a traditional ninja.
He was so shocked that he subconsciously began to make excuses for Tobirama Senju.
No way.
Konoha is the Guardian Ninja village of Land of Fire, and Tobirama Senju, as the senior executive of Konoha and the younger brother of Hokage, can he do such a treasonous thing?
If this is true...
That is an unprecedented huge scandal!
According to the legacy of Warring States Era and the tradition of Ninja World today, ninjas have always been the tools of noble people like Grand Elder..
Now the sharpest blade comes back to bite its owner?
When this news spreads, the entire Konoha will be swept away by Ninja World's public opinion.
"Huh, how is this impossible?
6
"Looking at the entire Land of Fire, who else can accurately grasp my travel plan besides him? Who else can assemble a group of elite ninjas to kill my whole family in such a short period of time. The most important thing is the motive. He either got the news from inside your Uchiha Clan, or intercepted the news that I secretly contacted you from the informants installed around me... So he took the risk."
"With both ability and motive, once I die, it will be in his best interest, so Tobirama Senju is the most suspect!"
Land of Fire Elder conducts analysis in a step-by-step manner.
No matter in terms of ability, motivation, or benefits obtained afterwards, Tobirama Senju is the most likely suspect.
In terms of logical reasoning, what Land of Fire Elder said is impeccable.
And... this is indeed the truth.
Uchiha Great Elder didn't know how to refute it for a while.
He didn't really want to help Tobirama Senju get away with it, but for Konoha.
This matter is really too involved.
Most of Konoha's annual expenditures require Land of Fire's financial support, and Konoha Ninja also depends on the work of your noble Clan Elder for food.
People eat horse chews...Land of Fire is inseparable from everything.
Now that such a scandal has broken out, it would be an understatement to say that Konoha has experienced a social death.
"It's just a suspicion...Grand Elder."
"So, it's up to you Uchiha Clan to verify this conjecture. What I want is the truth!"
"Moreover, if it is really Tobirama Senju who did this, it will be a great thing for you Uchiha Clan. Tobirama Senju did such a thing, even if he is Hokage's biological brother deserves to be punished, and even Senju Clan will be saddled with a huge scandal. At that time, it is not certain that Second Hokage will appear in your Uchiha Clan."
"Maybe even His Highness Daimyo will favor and support you Uchiha Clan."
"What we Land of Fire need is a Konoha who is willing to share the worries of His Highness Daimyo and the nobles, and a Konoha who can abide by Land of Fire's laws!"
Land of Fire Elder said so.
Those words instantly ignited Uchiha Great Elder's ambition.
Yes.
If this matter was really done by Tobirama Senju, then Senju Clan would be saddled with a huge scandal, and Uchiha Clan was Land of Fire's loyal minister. At that time, the appearance of a second-generation Hokage in the family was a sure thing.
Not only Grand Elder will support Uchiha, Daimyo will also support Uchiha!
Even the ninja clan of Konoha will side with Uchiha... Ninjas can fight, but politically they are just a bunch of stinky patrols.
And Konoha Ninja Clans also knows that no one should be offended but the funder's father!
"Grand Elder, I understand."
"Uchiha will help you find out the truth, and will not wrongly accuse good people, nor let bad people go!"
"Thank you Uchiha for the hard work."
"Remember, I want the truth."
Uchiha Great Elder said plausibly.
He didn't promise to put this shit on Tobirama Senju's head.
But Grand Elder doesn't care, he knows very well that as long as the seeds of doubt have been planted, they will definitely take root and sprout.
Whenever there is a clue pointing to Tobirama Senju at the crime scene, it will be deliberately amplified and infinitely interpreted by Uchiha Great Elder; then they will follow this direction and continue to dig deeper into the clues at the scene - step by step guidance, layer by layer, until Tobirama Senju is nailed to the position of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Afterwards, Uchiha Great Elder left the room in a hurry.
At this point, he did not dare to delay at all. As soon as he returned to his residence, he took advantage of the cover of night and quietly sneaked back to the scene of the assassination of Land of Fire Elder with his family members.
The night passed quickly.
The next day.
As soon as the genius dawned, Land of Fire Elder rode in a small soft sedan that showed his status and dignity, and walked slowly to the palace of Daimyo.
Along the way, the number of guards beside him was far greater than usual, and they were on alert at all levels.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire met Grand Elder almost immediately.
Both of their eyes were filled with thick black circles. It was obvious that they had not slept well in the past few days. "Your Highness, the matter has been settled."
"Uchiha Clan has agreed that he will do his best to investigate the case during this period and will submit a separate investigation report afterwards."
"Grand Elder, tell me in detail..."
Land of Fire Elder initially only planned to briefly report the general situation of the secret conversation with Uchiha Great Elder last night.
But Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire has already started to feel neurotic and anxious.
He asked Land of Fire Elder to tell the conversation in detail from beginning to end to avoid missing some important details.
No way.
The strength of Ninja Village now is not like that of later generations. After several Ninja World wars, its strength has dropped drastically, which can also give Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire a chance to play with trade-offs.
The power of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara is too terrifying.
Land of Fire really can't stand the torment of Shinobi Village.
And Land of Fire Elder did not disappoint Daimyo.
From the beginning to the end, Land of Fire has only one goal, which is to provoke a conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan, causing Konoha to fall into internal friction, and by the way, drag Akatsuki Ninja Village into the water.
Grand Elder is still in C!
Not only did he successfully make Uchiha Great Elder target Tobirama Senju, but even Uchiha Makoto was under his suspicion.
"Grand Elder... Thank you for your hard work."
"Your Highness, this is all for Land of Fire."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire is looking forward to it.
He really wanted to relive the dog-eat-dog scene between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan.
Only in this way can he, Daimyo, have the opportunity to be superior and constantly increase and decrease the chips on both sides, making them evenly matched, making them full of hatred, and making them fight each other!
Land of Fire Elder nodded sadly.
He is worthy of Land of Fire in this life.
Just as the monarch and his ministers were plotting, suddenly Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire noticed something.
"Who is there? Didn't I say no one can come in?"
"Your Highness, Light Shadow, Hokage... they are here and want to see you."
The attendant said tremblingly.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire snorted coldly and drank all the tea in the cup on the table.
"I know, let them wait, I'll change my clothes!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Not long after, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire appeared in front of Uchiha Makoto and his group.
He was still serious in speech, but his expression had changed, and kindness was clearly revealed between his brows.
Of course... it must be pretending.
"Hokage, Light Shadow, it just so happens that you are here too. I have read all the investigation reports you handed in yesterday."
.. It's not that I don't trust your abilities, but is this really a coincidence?"
"Where did Rogue Ninja come from? Not only is he very powerful, he also has such courage that he dared to assassinate me...
This kind of thing did not happen even in the most chaotic period of Warring States Period. How come this kind of thing can happen in today's peaceful times?"
"Is this how you two great ninja villages protect us Land of Fire?"
Land of Fire Elder was the first to speak.
His tone was obviously not good and full of yin and yang.
However, it is very suitable for Grand Elder to speak like this.
After all, he was the biggest victim of the assassination incident. His relatives at home were dead and injured, he was overly sad and out of control, and it was human nature for him to speak impulsively.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, who was sitting high on the chair, said nothing and looked at the people in the audience with a smile on his face.
This was something the two of them had just discussed.
Even if it is really Bandit who caused the rebellion, Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village are still involved!
Now is the time to show Daimyo, the majesty of the nobility to the Ninja Village. We must seize this opportunity to give these ninjas some eye candy.
After hearing this, Hashirama Senju suddenly had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Konoha is the Guardian Ninja village of Land of Fire, and he himself is the Hokage of Konoha. Now Land of Fire has had such a vicious incident - every Grand Elder in the country can be assassinated by Rogue Ninja!
There is no doubt that he Hokage is guilty!
Tobirama Senju's mood is more complicated.
He was feeling nervous and guilty.
Nervousness is easy to understand.
After all, Tobirama Senju is the mastermind and murderer of the Grand Elder assassination case. Now the victim Land of Fire Elder is questioning the results of the investigation in front of him... It is impossible not to be nervous!
If Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire and Grand Elder do not agree with this investigation report and demand a thorough re-investigation, then they will have no choice but to obey orders.
Although the eldest brother is stupid, he and Uchiha Makoto fooled him this time, but it is impossible to fool him this time.
Once you find some clues...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
And I feel guilty... Tobirama Senju boarded the pirate ship Uchiha Makoto unwillingly.
This guy has been accustomed to the Warring States Era ninja mentality for most of his life, and he still maintains basic loyalty to Daimyo and Grand Elder. It is really helpless to swing a knife at them.
If Uchiha Makoto hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have done such a heinous thing.
Uchiha Makoto, on the other hand, was sitting on a chair, blowing air and drinking tea, looking unconcerned.
That is to say, it is limited by this era. Forcing oneself to wear Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire clothes will make Akatsuki Ninja Village the enemy of the whole world, and even the village that has always been stable will become unstable.
Otherwise, he would have changed his clothes long ago.
"Thousands of years of thinking are not so easy to change... Even if Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara merge, and both go to see Sage of Six Paths, Akatsuki Ninja Village will continue to coexist with Land of Fire for a long time.
Uchiha Makoto was thinking this while looking at Hashirama Senju.
After just one glance, he was no longer so calm.
"Hashirama Senju, what do you want to do?"
"You don't want to kneel down and apologize to Daimyo!"
"Stand up! No kneeling!"
Once Hokage knelt down to apologize, how could he, Light Shadow, sit aside and drink tea.
Then Uchiha Makoto could only stand up and defend Hashirama Senju.
"Grand Elder, this is wrong."
"The world is tough, even the Ninja Village has its difficulties."
"If you want the Ninja Village to protect Land of Fire in all aspects, then the Ninja Village also needs manpower. The border of Land of Fire must be protected by ninjas. Rogue Ninja has also wiped out a group of bandits from all over the country, and they will regenerate like weeds..."
"It's hard to endure even a village!"
"When adults encounter problems, don't always look for other people's problems."
"Putting everything aside, you are not wrong, right?"
"Why don't you look for the problem within yourself!"
"Have you offended any big enemies over the years? Have you thought about how to solve the Ninja Village's difficulties? Have you ever thought about increasing the funding for the Ninja Village... Without money, how can our Ninja Village cultivate more ninjas and protect Land of Fire?"
"Grand Elder, now that such a big thing has happened because of your negligence over the years, have you ever seriously reflected on yourself?"
Uchiha Makoto said with a righteous expression.
Debate never requires explanation or reasoning. Any reasonable explanation is a sign of weakness and should be attacked directly!
Ninjamura may indeed be at fault.
But aren't you Grand Elder right?
And... Ninja Village is not wrong at all!
