Land of Fire Elder soon met Uchiha Great Elder in the study.
The study room is very exquisitely decorated.
Dark solid wood bookshelves stand along the wall, from the ground to the beams, with yellowed ancient books and elegantly bound files neatly stacked on them.
The fragrance of ink and the agarwood of old wood intertwined in the air, giving off a sense of heaviness accumulated over time. Next to the bookshelf stood a hollowed-out carved antique shelf, on which were displayed several simple celadon and jade ornaments. The light shone through the window lattice, giving it a warm luster.
However, Uchiha Great Elder is not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.
His mood was really complicated.
After several days of in-depth investigation, he completely confirmed one thing... the assassination of Land of Fire Elder was definitely not a rebellion by Bandit, but a carefully calculated assassination. It can be said that it completely overturned the conclusions first drawn by Hokage and Light Shadow.
If the investigation results were nothing more than this, it wouldn't be considered a "big deal".
A momentary oversight would be embarrassing for Hokage and Light Shadow, and Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire would definitely be furious, but in the end they would not be punished in any substantial way. In the final analysis, it was just Light Shadow and Hokage who had lost face. It would be very simple to cover up the past.
It's nothing more than finding a poor guy with enough weight, blocking Daimyo's mouth, and letting him take the blame...
For example, Tobirama Senju, Naturally Evil, and Old Ghost Senju.
In this case, Light Shadow and Hokage are still wise and powerful, and they did not make any mistakes at all. The faults were all Tobirama Senju's!
Uchiha Great Elder Initially, this was indeed the plan to trick Tobirama Senju.
But as the investigation deepened, he discovered even more shocking clues.
The methods of those assassins... turned out to be inexplicably familiar... If his judgment was correct, they should have come from Konoha Anbu.
And Konoha Anbu has always been led by Tobirama Senju.
At first Uchiha Great Elder was really a burst of ecstasy.
He really didn't expect that Tobirama Senju would be so bold as to send Anbu Ninja to assassinate Land of Fire Elder!
Tobirama Senju This is life-threatening!
Once the matter is exposed, even if Hashirama Senju this First is from Hokage, Tobirama Senju cannot be protected.
Let alone Konoha, even the entire Land of Fire and the entire Ninja World cannot tolerate such rebellious ninjas!
But after Uchiha Great Elder calmed down, the previous joy slowly dissipated.
Instead, there was fear surging from the bottom of my heart...First Hokage's biological brother actually conspired to assassinate Land of Fire Elder!
This is such a huge scandal, it not only concerns Tobirama Senju, but also Konoha's reputation.
Konoha's financial funds are supported by Land of Fire, and most of the mission sources are also officially assigned by Land of Fire. Now Konoha's senior executive, Hokage's brother, assassinated Grand Elder. How can Konoha gain a foothold in Land of Fire in the future?
It's not a big deal to disband on the spot.
But I'm afraid Konoha's life will be difficult in the future.
Trust only needs to be broken once and it is difficult to repair again.
So if this thing is true, it will really break the news!
Fortunately, Uchiha Great Elder is fortunate that Uchiha Clan now finds that it is just a clue and cannot be called evidence.
If you want to obtain conclusive evidence or prove Konoha's innocence, you must investigate Anbu.
In theory it is indeed very simple.
All you need to do is take out Konoha Anbu's ninja roster, stand in a row with everyone, and check them one by one. Ninja World has plenty of ways to extract memories from his brain.
But actually, who would really dare to do this?
This involves the very foundation of the village!
Konoha Anbu's ninja roster belongs to the Ninja Village's top secrets!
And Konoha High Command knows that the real person in charge of Konoha Anbu is Tobirama Senju, but in the regulations on the table, this force has always been titled as the "force directly under Hokage".
Hashirama Senju, as First Hokage, has absolute control and command over Anbu. No matter how we investigate, Hashirama Senju cannot be separated from it.
They say they are looking for Tobirama Senju, but they can't get around Hashirama Senju!
The most terrifying thing is the series of subsequent effects.
The film's dignity and authority will be seriously challenged, and the effect is comparable to being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
You dare to use a clue that is not true or false now as an excuse to investigate the troops directly under Hokage... What about the future?
Will someone use the same reason to try to control Konoha Anbu?
Moreover, normally speaking, whoever in the Ninja Village can control the village's Anbu is the shadow of the village. What the hell will you do if you take this opportunity to seduce the emperor?
Hashirama Senju can indeed fight, even without Anbu, he is still Hokage Position who can hold on to Konoha.
But the future Hokage will not be as effective as Hashirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi... When these people encounter a team composed of more than a dozen elite Jonin, they have to find a way to moisten them first.
Once a bad start is made, there will be endless troubles.
For example, Oath of the Luo River of Sima Yi, Xuanwu Gate of Li Shimin, Jingnan Campaign of Zhu Di...
All of them provide excellent and successful examples for the careerists in the younger generation who want to cause trouble, and inspire generations after generations.
Although Uchiha Great Elder's brain may not be able to think of such long-term things, Uchiha's intuition is still very keen... The relationship behind this matter is too complicated, and the best way to deal with it is to pretend that you don't know anything.
But the opportunity before us is really rare...
Because once Tobirama Senju is really found guilty, even if he is not dead, the lightest punishment is life imprisonment. Maybe First Hokage who was involved will have to take the blame and abdicate. At this time, Second Hokage of Konoha will definitely belong to the Uchiha Clan.
The Hokage Position that Uchiha Clan has been pursuing for a long time is just around the corner!
For a moment, Uchiha Great Elder's thoughts were surging, and he sat quietly on the chair for a long time without saying a word.
The tea on the table had long since cooled down and the mist had dissipated. Seeing that he remained silent, Land of Fire Elder finally couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke to break the silence.
"Great Elder, I asked you to re-investigate the matter. How is the investigation going now?"
"Grand Elder, well... we do have some clues. You are right, Light Shadow, Hokage made mistakes in their investigation. The assassination against you was not an accident, but a deliberately planned assassination."
Hearing Land of Fire Elder's dull voice, Uchiha Great Elder came back to his senses.
Considering Grand Elder's identity and the promise Grand Elder had made previously, Uchiha Great Elder handed over part of the investigation results to him - this was indeed not Bandit's rebellion, but someone's deliberate conspiracy to plan this assassination.
Land of Fire Elder received the investigation report and immediately stared at the contents of the report, flipping through it quickly, almost reading ten lines at a glance.
In a moment, Land of Fire Elder read it from beginning to end.
His frown suddenly relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Land of Fire Elder has to admit that although Uchiha Clan's brain is not very easy to use, his family's strength really has nothing to say... The contents of this report are enough to completely overturn the conclusion given by Hokage and Light Shadow that "Bandit is in rebellion"!
However, this report still has flaws and still does not satisfy Land of Fire Elder completely.
Now that the result of Bandit's rebellion has been overturned, who is planning all this behind the scenes and why hasn't the real culprit been found out!!
This is the most important thing!
1 Uchiha Great Elder, don't you Uchiha want to make progress?
As long as you dare to charge forward and bite Senju Clan, bite Hashirama Senju, or Tobirama Senju, Daimyo and I can push you Uchiha from behind!
As Land of Fire Elder, who has been involved in the bureaucracy all year round.
He is very aware of the war between factions. Once the two sides are at war, the merits are not important at all.
The truth!
Who cares about this stuff?
As long as you can throw dirty water on the other party, it will be enough. When three people become tigers, what is not true can become true.
Besides, Senju Clan is definitely involved in this matter.
The thousand-year grudge between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan can add fuel to the flames. As long as it is properly adjusted, the relationship between the two races can be completely torn apart.
As for the marriage that has become a hot mess recently, it might be canceled because of it and become a Ninja World joke.
Uchiha Makoto is also a member of the Uchiha tribe!
... He is an evil brat who is not clean either!!
"Yes, your Uchiha Clan is indeed more reliable than Senju Clan. If there is a Hokage in your family, Konoha should be able to reach a higher level."
"A few days ago, Daimyo also specifically mentioned you Uchiha...
Land of Fire Elder began to skillfully draw pancakes.
Although this rhetoric is cliché and slightly cliché, it does work - what the entire Uchiha Clan family desires most right now is to have a second-generation Hokage member of the family!
As expected.
Uchiha Great Elder's emotions were instantly ignited, and the eager ambition in his heart could no longer be suppressed. It rushed into his mind like a tide, almost overwhelming his reason, urging him to tell Land of Fire Elder all the investigation results in one go.
Seeing Uchiha Great Elder's cheeks turned red, he looked like he was ready to make a move.
Land of Fire Elder probably had some speculation in his mind.
Uchiha Clan must have concealed part of his investigation from himself... Evil ninjas are indeed dishonest!!
"Great Elder, since the assassination incident against me was deliberately planned by someone, then who has the courage to attack me?"
"Don't mention Land of Fire, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a few people like this in the entire Ninja World."
"Remember what I said the last time we met... Tobirama Senju is very suspicious."
Land of Fire Elder made no nonsense and directly identified the suspect.
At this juncture, he doesn't have much time to go around in circles with Uchiha Great Elder.
No way.
The topic about the ancestors of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan has suddenly exploded recently, almost sweeping the entire Ninja World.
Land of Fire is still one of the hardest-hit areas. Domestic public opinion has completely deviated from its original direction. Not many people are paying attention to the assassination of Grand Elder. Almost everyone is enjoying it with great interest.
In the eyes of Land of Fire Elder, this sudden abnormal situation must be someone who deliberately planned it.
As for the people who can manipulate public opinion at this juncture, besides Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Makoto, who else would do such a thing.
...Konoha has not said a word in the face of the "scandal" so far.
Uchiha Great Elder's expression was sluggish, and he was obviously still struggling. He was not sure whether to dig out this shocking hole.
After all, once things get serious, he will no longer be able to control it... Just like a war, the initiator of the war can decide when to start a war, but only the winner can decide when to end a war.
"Great Elder, do you have anything to hide?"
"You have to think clearly, paper can't keep fire. If you don't tell me, I have a way to find out. The ninja villages of the other four major countries will not refuse my task. But when the time comes, the family scandal will become public. Besides... I don't want you Uchiha to betray my trust. Daimyo is also watching you all the time. He always hopes to find out the truth."
"
"Even if it is not in line with tradition, but... this country belongs to Daimyo, Uchiha has been favored by Daimyo, and regarding Hokage Position... half of the success has been achieved."
"
Land of Fire Elder's words were half threats and half inducements.
Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
As Land of Fire Elder, as long as he wants to continue investigating, there will be a steady stream of ninjas working for him.
It's just that these words are very bluffing.
At the practical level... If ninjas from other countries dare to appear in the Land of Fire realm, do they really think that the two major ninja villages of Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village are just decorations?
As long as Tobirama Senju and Uchiha Makoto give orders together, no matter how many people come, these uninvited guests will just disappear quietly within the territory of Land of Fire.
But the inducement is much more sincere.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire is one country Daimyo.
If he does not follow tradition and is determined to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ninja Village, he will directly and secretly support Uchiha Clan, and just throw money at Tobirama Senju.
Spreading out a lot of money is enough for the ninjas in Konoha to vote with their feet.
Of course... traditions must not be broken unless absolutely necessary.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire values tradition more than anyone else.
Because tradition is rules, tradition is order!
As expected.
Uchiha Great Elder simply couldn't resist the words of Land of Fire Elder, an old bureaucrat. Under this coercion and inducement, he still told all the results of the investigation.
"Grand Elder, to tell you the truth, there are indeed some other clues."
"Of course, they are just clues and cannot be called evidence. The ninjas who assassinated you may be Anbu from Konoha."
"This is really unimaginable."
"I don't believe that this kind of thing could be done by Konoha's ninja... But I believe in Uchiha's ability, and I believe in what I, Sharingan, saw..."
Land of Fire Elder almost immediately raised the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, and he even couldn't help but hum.
This is what he was waiting for!
