"Snow Clan, Kaguya Clan, Kurama Clan."

"Oh, I almost forgot. There's also the Uzumaki Clan."

"Forget it. We might as well write down the Hyuga Clan too. There's nothing to lose by poaching them."

"."

Uchiha Makoto sat in his room, writing down the shinobi clans that Akatsuki Ninja Village needed to win over in the coming period. To strengthen the village as quickly as possible, he had targeted clans with Bloodline Limits first.

Money couldn't solve every problem.

But it could solve most problems.

Previously, those powerful shinobi clans had looked down on the weak Akatsuki Ninja Village and preferred to settle in powerful villages like Konoha. The Ninja World was ultimately extremely realistic. However, with this huge injection of ninety billion ryo, this obscure village finally had the confidence to recruit powerful shinobi clans.

At worst, he could just throw money at them.

There would always be one or two powerful shinobi clans willing to join Akatsuki Ninja Village.

Still, he had to maintain a sense of proportion. Looking like a nouveau riche would make others covet him. These idiotic shinobi didn't have the nerve to rob a noble's estate, but they had plenty of nerve to risk their lives robbing another ninja village!

The First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War... Through the various Shinobi World Wars, the ninja villages fought until they were battered and bloodied, slaughtering one another and even ending up deeply in debt. Meanwhile, the Nobles remained high above, hiding behind the scenes. Even when they lost a war, most of the time they didn't even have to surrender territory!

How much funding did the Daimyo provide?

And yet they expected the shinobi to fight so desperately!

In any case, Uchiha Makoto was determined not to do something so foolish. This situation had to change in the future.

He had to make money while standing tall!

"Lord Makoto, His Highness is looking for you. He has something important to discuss with you!"

Just as Uchiha Makoto was planning the future development of Akatsuki Ninja Village, an attendant serving beside the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire pushed open the door and entered.

"Understood."

Uchiha Makoto put down his pen and followed the attendant to the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's room. After some discussion, he learned some news.

Konoha had sent people.

Not only had Hashirama Senju come, but Tobirama Senju had come as well.

"Makoto, I'll leave those two to you!"

"Konoha has gotten itself into serious trouble. Whatever you do, don't let them panic and come here to fight me!"

Uchiha Makoto smiled, his eyes already fixed on the face of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. Although he had had the dark circles around his eyes concealed, his entire mental state was listless. He looked as though he hadn't slept well at all.

Perhaps the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire had been so frightened upon learning that Konoha had come to visit that he hadn't slept all night. Who knew what the Daimyo, who had already internalized the Hashirama Senju Threat Theory, had imagined?

Due to the limitations of the era and the restraints that traditional rules placed on shinobi, even someone as powerful as Hashirama Senju had never thought of replacing the Daimyo. All he wanted to do was establish ninja villages and reduce the slaughter among the shinobi clans.

This situation remained fundamentally unchanged all the way until the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Even after the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, Naruto Uzumaki became the Seventh Hokage, shinobi-world technology advanced rapidly, and the Five Great Nations all became industrialized nations, the shinobi in the ninja villages were no longer limited to missions as their sole means of earning a living.

Yet the ninja villages were still essentially bound by rules and customs, remaining in a politically subordinate position.

In short, this world was extremely absurd.

Uchiha Makoto understood this very clearly. Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the two great powers of the Ninja World, had come to the Land of Fire because Konoha had probably stirred up a hornet's nest and incurred everyone's resentment. The Nobles had joined forces to make life miserable for Konoha until it could no longer endure it. Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had come to ask the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire for help.

Even if the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire took advantage of their plight and imposed extremely harsh conditions to restrict Konoha's development, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju would probably pinch their noses and agree in order to obtain the Daimyo's political and economic assistance.

Thus, Uchiha Makoto naturally accepted the assignment.

Of course, there was a prerequisite.

He needed the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's full authorization!

"No problem!"

"You can negotiate with Konoha on my behalf right now!"

"Makoto, as long as you can pacify Konoha, I'll even accept giving them some money."

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire nodded.

He hadn't expected Konoha to jump out and draw fire at a time like this. If that thick-skinned, black-hearted Hashirama Senju had come to demand an explanation, then having Uchiha Makoto step forward at least left room for things to ease up.

Uchiha Makoto was an honest man too!

At this critical moment, he was willing to step forward and shoulder the burden for him—loyalty!

"Since that's the case, Your Highness, leave this matter to me!"

Uchiha Makoto said with a smile.

Loyalty meant acting recklessly in the name of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire!

That was the power of an information gap!

The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire thought Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju had come to demand an explanation, but in reality, they intended to come crawling to the negotiating table!

Crawling was good!

At least he was standing tall right now!

"Big Brother, when we meet the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire later, do everything according to my cues. Konoha's situation is extremely dangerous right now. Once news that a large number of missions have been canceled spreads and the public opinion gains momentum, the shinobi clans that have already joined Konoha may withdraw."

"Also, I'm afraid the Uchiha Clan may develop dangerous ideas at a time like this."

"That would be dangerous!"

Tobirama Senju spoke with a worried expression. He was genuinely concerned that all the effort he had put in during this period would go to waste. He had originally planned to remain in Konoha and calm everyone down, but considering how critical the situation was, he couldn't possibly feel at ease letting his Big Brother Hashirama Senju visit the Daimyo in the Land of Fire alone.

There was no one in Konoha who could accompany Big Brother. They couldn't possibly let Uchiha Madara come along, could they?

Tobirama Senju would choose death on the spot.

Anyone but Uchiha Madara, damn it!

The two of them would only ruin everything when they were together.

Thus, in his helplessness, he could only temporarily abandon his plan to remain in Konoha and accompany his Big Brother Hashirama Senju to pay a visit to the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.

This negotiation had to be resolved quickly!

Even if Konoha had to pay a huge price, it still had to obtain the Daimyo's assistance.

"Tobirama, I understand."

"You've already said that several times."

"And you really didn't need to practice that smile so many times in front of the mirror!"

Hashirama Senju nodded, still wearing his usual optimistic expression. Tobirama Senju was speechless. His Big Brother truly made him worry himself sick!

I practiced my smile so I could put on a cheerful face for them!

Who do you think I did it for?

Wasn't it for you, Big Brother, for the Senju Clan, and for Konoha?

Soon.

The two people waiting in the lounge were led into a room by an attendant.

Then

When Tobirama Senju saw the person before him, the smile on his face instantly froze.

I still prefer writing Tobirama's scenes.

I need more follows and collections!!!!

If I keep letting this build up, I feel like I'm going to die.
