Tobirama Senju: The Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat, I

I'm going to kill you!

My fists are itching!

This is really going too far!

The Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat!

Tobirama Senju clenched his fists. He really wanted to punch Uchiha Makoto in the face right now, but for the sake of Konoha's future, he forcibly suppressed his anger and managed to pull a smile onto his lips.

"This time, Konoha hopes to establish cooperation with the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire. We hope the Land of Fire can provide Konoha with economic and political assistance. Also, regarding the distribution of missions within the Land of Fire, Konoha hopes to build a platform for unified distribution and mission-level assessment."

Tobirama Senju spoke at length in one breath. It was clear that he had indeed come prepared this time. He had already roughly determined the direction of Konoha's future development.

The harshest measure, one that could be called a devastating move, was to standardize all missions within the Land of Fire, with Konoha assessing and distributing them. Considering how narrow the sources of ninja income were in this era, with nearly everyone relying on missions to earn a living, this would be enough to cut off the path of survival for all the shinobi clans, large and small, within the Land of Fire.

Even if Konoha was willing to give a portion of the missions on the platform to shinobi clans that had not joined Konoha, what awaited them would still be high-difficulty, low-reward missions accompanied by a certain degree of risk. The missions with generous rewards and low difficulty would certainly all be divided among Konoha's own forces. Konoha would still take a cut on top of that. As time went on, the shinobi clans that had not joined Konoha simply would not be able to endure such exploitation. But Konoha had vast resources and power; it was not something they could contend with.

So they could either flee the Land of Fire or join Konoha.

In essence, this was a monopoly.

However, the benefits were also extremely obvious. In the past, the various shinobi clans within the Land of Fire could fight until they were battered and bloody over the source of missions. Now that everyone joined Konoha and missions were managed and distributed uniformly and reasonably, many bloody conflicts could be avoided.

For the Hokage, this also meant directly taking control of the lifeline of the clans within the village. After all, mission distribution affected a clan's source of income.

A man without money was like a boneless worm whose backbone had been ripped out. The same principle applied to a clan. As for mission assessment and what constituted a reasonable distribution, that was highly subjective, and the village's Leader held the greatest authority.

"Nicely done."

Uchiha Makoto could not help praising him inwardly. Once these measures were approved, Konoha would be the only ninja village able to survive within the Land of Fire.

No wonder the Uchiha Clan was unwilling to flee with Uchiha Madara. Even if they fled, Konoha had already seized control of the mission channels. The Warring States Period's order had been shattered and replaced by an entirely new economic model. As a clan within the Land of Fire, the Uchiha Clan would not be able to receive any decent missions. In the end, they would still have to accept missions through the platform Konoha had created.

Otherwise, they could only leave the Land of Fire and head to one of the other four great nations to continue surviving. But the other four great nations had already established their own ninja villages, and the Uchiha Clan would be outsiders there.

In Konoha, however, they were founders, and they would receive entirely different treatment when accepting missions.

Then what the hell would be the point of fleeing?

"Mm, Tobirama Senju, your idea is quite good. The benefits are substantial. Once successfully implemented, the shinobi clans within the Land of Fire should become completely settled and stop slaughtering one another as they did before."

Uchiha Makoto nodded, mentioning only the benefits. As for the drawbacks, he deliberately omitted them.

Beside him, Hashirama Senju was beaming. He also felt that his younger brother had come up with an excellent solution. Once implemented, there would never again be wars between shinobi clans in the Land of Fire, and children would no longer have to step onto the battlefield at such a young age.

"Hmph, good that you know."

The corners of Tobirama Senju's mouth lifted involuntarily. He was also proud of this incredibly ingenious plan. I really am a genius!

This method could not only expand Konoha's influence and bring more shinobi clans into Konoha, but also ensure his control over the shinobi clans while bringing peace to the Land of Fire!

It could be said to accomplish several goals with one move!

"However, it's completely impractical for Konoha as it is now."

"As far as I know, a large number of missions assigned to Konoha have now been canceled. Not only that, the nobles of the various countries, large and small, surrounding the Land of Fire also have a poor opinion of Konoha. Hmph. You want them to cooperate with Konoha in implementing this plan? That isn't realistic!"

"When it comes to missions, both sides have to be willing. The employers aren't even willing to submit missions to Konoha now. Could Lord Hashirama be planning to force a sale?"

Looking at Tobirama Senju's smile, Uchiha Makoto sneered and poured cold water over Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. Konoha's reputation is already ruined. There are even rumors that Konoha is the mastermind behind this Tulip harvest.

If they were not wary of Konoha's formidable strength, the Nobles would have already taken action to destroy Konoha.

"Th-this forceful buying and selling is, of course, unacceptable."

Hashirama Senju stammered a few times, his entire person wilting. As a standard good man, he naturally could not force people to buy or sell. That was why they had come to the Land of Fire to request an audience with the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire this time: they hoped he would come forward and use his influence to implement Tobirama Senju's proposal.

Tobirama Senju remained silent. Even he found the current situation extremely troublesome.

Damn it.

I'm sitting at home, yet the pot has fallen from the sky.

What has Konoha done to deserve this?

I only wanted to recover our losses!

"Actually, I do have a good solution. Building a platform for unified distribution and mission-level assessment is something we can leave to the Akatsuki Ninja Village. The final result will be the same either way. Konoha's ninjas can simply come to the Akatsuki Ninja Village to accept missions."

"Of course, to ensure everyone's interests, Konoha can send some personnel to participate. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

"What do you think?"

Uchiha Makoto proposed a "good for you, good for me, good for everyone" solution. Since Konoha's reputation was now rotten, this great undertaking that would go down in ninja history could simply be handed over to the Akatsuki Ninja Village.

As for this.

Hashirama Senju felt that Uchiha Makoto's solution sounded good, but he also felt that something was wrong. So he turned his gaze toward Tobirama Senju.

"During the negotiations, if I haven't expressed my opinion, Big Brother, you absolutely must not speak."

Hashirama Senju still remembered Tobirama Senju's warning.

Tobirama Senju's entire face had now gone dark.

Damn it!

The Naturally Evil Uchiha Brat!

Do you believe I'll kill you with Flying Thunder God Slash right now?

And you still have the nerve to ask what I think? Your idea is simply a pile of shit!

You, Uchiha Makoto, are digging up Konoha's foundations, and you still have the nerve to sit here with that shameless face and talk. Why don't you just say that Konoha should merge into the Akatsuki Ninja Village?

This concerned the very foundation of Konoha's existence. Tobirama Senju would absolutely never agree!

Only names and authority must not be entrusted to others!

Tobirama Senju still understood this principle.
