"Of course!"
"I know everything about this inherently evil, Senju- handed old devil!"
"He truly is an outstanding junior!!"
Izuna Uchiha's gaze toward Uchiha Nan grew increasingly fervent.
As expected of a descendant of the Uchiha, he saw through Tobirama Senju's ugly true nature perfectly.
" Izuna, Hashirama Senju did indeed intend to pass the position of Second Hokage to Lord Madara, but Tobirama Senju prevented it."
"The reason given was that the selection of the Hokage should be based on the will of the people of the Land of Fire and the village, and should be elected in a democratic manner. Madara-sama knew very well that this was just another hypocritical power struggle, so he defected from Konoha."
"Not only that, he also proclaimed that the stronger a person's hatred, the stronger their eye power, and that the Uchiha are a dangerous group. Madara Uchiha could never become Hokage, and the Uchiha must never produce Hokage."
As Uchiha Nan was speaking, Izuna Uchiha, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain his anger and interrupted Uchiha Nan, cursing at Tobirama Senju.
The only people he loved most in his life were his eldest brother and his family!
Tobirama Senju had been plotting to persecute Madara Uchiha and the Uchiha!
"As expected, Tobirama Senju, you are a hypocritical villain, always targeting my elder brother and the Uchiha!"
"There isn't a single good person in your Senju Clan! Junior! You absolutely cannot show them mercy; you must slaughter them all!!!"
Uchiha Nan glanced at Izuna Uchiha and instantly realized that Tobirama Senju's words did make some sense.
The stronger a person's hatred, the stronger their pupils, and vice versa.
This old man from the Warring States period is still so extreme!
"Cough cough cough"
Uchiha Nan coughed a few times but didn't reply.
He had no desire to get entangled with Izuna Uchiha over this issue.
After all, Izuna Uchiha was a stubborn, extremist from the Warring States Period who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He had multiple layers of buffs on him, and when Uchiha Nan encountered someone like that, he would usually choose to verbally comply with him.
"Junior, continue. How did you become the Third Hokage?"
"That requires a detailed explanation."
"Later, Tobirama Senju ousted Madara and became the Second Hokage of Konoha, wielding immense power and dominating the Konoha for a time."
"There were warriors in the Uchiha who opposed Tobirama Senju and even tried to stage a coup to overthrow Tobirama Senju rule. Unfortunately, they all failed. At that time, I was still very weak and learned the importance of self-preservation early on."
"But then things took a turn for the better. Tobirama Senju was ambushed and killed, and the selection of the Third Hokage was made directly. He had long forgotten the rules for selecting the Hokage in Konoha, that so-called democratic selection."
"However, his judgment... tsk tsk tsk... was terrible. He didn't choose the new Hokage from the Senju Clan, but instead picked Hiruzen Sarutobi from the Sarutobi Clan to become the Third Hokage, and then I easily defeated him. Later, I defeated Mito Uzumaki, held a new democratic election, and became the Third Hokage."
Uchiha Nan recounted his struggles with great emotion.
After years of enduring hardship and biding his time, he finally rose to become the Third Hokage of Konoha thanks to an "extra power-up"!
Very inspiring!!
Izuna Uchiha stood to the side listening, occasionally offering his comments.
Upon hearing that Tobirama Senju had been ambushed, and even at the negotiating table, they immediately clapped and cheered, gesticulating wildly and mocking Tobirama Senju such a low-level trap.
The sarcastic remarks came one after another.
The two engaged in a fierce verbal battle.
The moment he heard that Tobirama Senju had chosen Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, he reached a fever pitch, pointing his finger at Tobirama Senju and mocking him for his poor judgment.
They actually chose a ninja from a small clan to become Hokage.
" Tobirama, I really overestimated you."
"At your age, you're getting worse. Do you have some shady relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi that led you to choose him as Hokage?"
"Shut up, you defeated opponent."
"So what? My descendants are stronger than you. From now on, the Senju Clan will always be overshadowed by the Uchiha, forever."
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to use the Flying Thunder God Slash your tongue off!"
"Come on, junior, let's go side by side and teach this Tobirama Senju a lesson."
The verbal battle between the two quickly escalated into a physical fight.
Izuna Uchiha immediately extended a team invitation to Uchiha Nan, as he could sense that he was in a very bad state.
If they were to face Tobirama Senju, the consequences would be utterly disastrous.
" Izuna, calm down. I haven't finished recounting Tobirama Senju's dirty secrets yet, such as his corruption."
" Uchiha Nan, shut up!"
"Didn't we agree on this?"
"No one is allowed to bring up those old, trivial matters again!"
Tobirama Senju, standing to the side, was furious. He couldn't let Uchiha Nan reveal all his dark history.
Otherwise, Izuna Uchiha would definitely use these things to humiliate me endlessly in the future.
"Hmph, how dare you do it but not dare let anyone tell?"
" Tobirama Senju, you truly are a hypocritical and despicable person."
"Juniors, let's all go at him and teach him a lesson!"
Izuna Uchiha said with a disdainful expression.
He had always disliked Tobirama Senju, and the biggest stain on his life was losing to the underhanded Tobirama Senju due to "carelessness".
He's not in good shape right now, but that's okay. Uchiha Nan is Izuna Uchiha's biggest source of confidence.
"Shut up! You defeated opponent!"
" Uchiha Nan was the Third of Konoha."
I am the Second Hokage of Konoha. Together, we have created the prosperous Konoha we see today.
You dead man, you're not even a member of Konoha! The conflict between me and Uchiha Nan was at most an internal conflict!
"There's absolutely no need for a defeated opponent like you to spout nonsense here."
Tobirama Senju attempted to recruit Uchiha Nan into his camp.
Anyway.
Both he and Uchiha Nan were Hokage.
Although Uchiha Nan was a heartless bastard, he was an extremely intelligent heartless bastard.
Compared to Izuna Uchiha, whom she had never met, she herself was definitely more important.
After all, he was the Hokage who dedicated his entire life to Konoha. Even after his Hokage, he continued to work tirelessly in the laboratory, making indelible contributions to Konoha.
Izuna Uchiha was nothing but a brute!
Whether in terms of strength or intelligence, none of them are as strong as me!!
Therefore, the advantage lies with me!
" Tobirama, I never expected you to say something like that."
"I'm starting to look at you in a new light."
Uchiha Nan looked at Tobirama Senju with great interest, and then slowly began to speak.
Tobirama Senju seems to be truly desperate, actually managing to describe unilateral exploitation as "mutual cooperation."
"Junior!"
" Tobirama Senju would never consider the Uchiha as comrades. Given the chance, he would definitely harm Uchiha!"
"So don't let him fool you!!"
Izuna Uchiha anxiously advised from the side, emphasizing that his junior should not be deceived by Tobirama Senju!
" Tobirama, your sudden realization makes me, the Hokage, very happy."
"But I don't like your practice of keeping research results to yourself."
Uchiha Nan spoke with a serious expression.
" Uchiha Nan, you have to believe me! I never hid any experimental results. That investigation report is a frame-up against me. You can't trust those third-rate researchers outside!"
"Hmph, what a sharp tongue you have. Now you still claim it's a frame-up."
Uchiha Nan was somewhat helpless.
Tobirama Senju is really stubborn.
He had already resurrected Izuna Uchiha Impure World Reincarnation, yet he stubbornly refused to admit it.
" Tobirama Senju, you are a hero, a true man, so dare to do what you do and admit it!"
"That investigation report..."
Although Izuna Uchiha didn't know what had happened, he still chimed in beside Uchiha Nan, wanting to use Nana Uchiha Nan Tobirama Senju lesson.
"You were stumped by Izuna Uchiha's question?"
"I wasn't stumped by Izuna Uchiha's question; rather, I was unwilling to answer this defeated Izuna Uchiha!"
" Izuna Uchiha knows is wielding swords and spears; what does he know about scientific research?"
"You dare to bark and howl here?"
Tobirama Senju wore a disdainful expression and spoke with a cold laugh.
"Ahhh!!"
"Asshole!!"
"Junior, hand over Tobirama Senju to me. I have a way to make him admit it."
Seeing Tobirama Senju's disdainful gaze, Izuna Uchiha's anger flared up again, and he spoke angrily.
"Hmph, Uchiha Nan, all you want is research results."
"I have a good idea. You hand over Izuna Uchiha to me and make him my subordinate. With him by my side, my research efficiency will definitely increase."
"I promise that in the future, I will submit a number of research results that will satisfy you."
Tobirama Senju spoke, he looked at Izuna Uchiha with a malicious intent.
"Will I be your subordinate?"
Stop dreaming!!
"Isn't that right, junior?"
Upon hearing this "absurd" condition, Izuna Uchiha immediately cursed at Tobirama Senju.
Uchiha Nan silently looked at Tobirama Senju, then at Izuna Uchiha.
His goal has always been to achieve more scientific research results. Although Tobirama Senju refused to admit it, he was essentially admitting his mistake and was willing to hand over his privately held scientific research results in a different way.
However, the price was Izuna Uchiha.
Izuna Uchiha was a senior member of the Uchiha, and he was willing to go through fire and water for the Uchiha.
He is also Madara Uchiha brother.
And letting Tobirama Senju achieve his "life's ideal" so easily is too lenient on Tobirama Senju.
"Junior, you're not going to agree to Tobirama Senju, are you?!"
Izuna Uchiha's expression immediately changed when he saw Uchiha Nan deep in thought.
Surely his own junior wouldn't actually agree to Tobirama Senju's "absurd" conditions.
"Hahaha, Izuna Uchiha, let me tell you, Uchiha Nan's bottom line is much lower than you think. What he likes to do most is exploit other people's labor."
For example, my research findings.
"And he's incredibly ruthless. Don't think that just because you're Uchiha, he'll side with you."
Tobirama Senju muttered something sinisterly to himself, while his eyes lingered on Izuna Uchiha with a look of utter covetousness.
"Junior, Tobirama Senju must be slandering you, right?"
"I believe you're definitely not that kind of person."
"Of course, Izuna is a senior of the Uchiha. How could I allow Izuna to remain a subordinate of my mortal enemy?"
Uchiha Nan nodded, realizing that his own integrity was nowhere near as low as Tobirama Senju had described.
"Purely" is a slander.
However, for the sake of Konoha, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Izuna Uchiha to make some sacrifices.
For Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha was an excellent prize.
To obtain the right to use Izuna Uchiha, Tobirama Senju not only had to set extremely high performance targets, but also imposed very stringent conditions.
The usage time must be short!
Did you hear that?
" Tobirama Senju, I knew you were trying to sow discord!"
Before Izuna Uchiha could finish speaking, Uchiha Nan interrupted.
"However, Izuna, you are a senior member of the Uchiha. You shouldn't mind making some contributions for future generations and enduring some hardship, right?"
What do you mean by that?!
Izuna Uchiha was getting anxious; he suddenly realized that his juniors weren't so handsome after all.
"The meaning is quite simple, of course. Tobirama Senju is my loyal servant, cough cough cough. He is an outstanding contributor to Konoha. As the Third Hokage of Konoha, everything I do must be for the sake of Konoha."
"Since Tobirama Senju so eager to be your boss, he should receive some reward as long as he works hard."
" Tobirama, as long as you submit no less than this number of research results each time, and continue for a year, I can arrange a duel for you."
I will prepare sacrificial bodies of the same caliber for you and Izuna.
"If you can defeat Izuna, I can transfer control of Izuna's Impure World Reincarnation Tensei to you for three minutes."
As Uchiha Nan raised a finger, he stated the extremely demanding conditions.
I have already estimated Tobirama Senju's research efficiency and set extremely high performance requirements.
Even if you meet this performance requirement, you still need to defeat Izuna Uchiha to gain those brief three minutes.
"These conditions are far too harsh!"
"Do you know that scientific research requires inspiration? Even I can't guarantee I'll have it every month."
"Stop talking nonsense, just give me a simple yes or no!"
"Oh, by the way, the amount to be submitted this year will be doubled. As for the reasons, I'm sure I don't need to explain them."
Tobirama Senju frowned, wanting to persuade Uchiha Nan to reduce the number of research results to be submitted, but Uchiha Nan didn't give Tobirama Senju a chance to bargain.
The experimental results he kept to himself could barely last a year.
As expected of the ruthless Uchiha Nan, he planned everything perfectly!
All they know how to do is exploit their own labor!
Setting such harsh reward conditions is like treating me like a beast of burden!
Moreover, even if the performance requirements are met, you still have to defeat Izuna Uchiha.
Uchiha Nan was clearly deliberately making things difficult for him.
but.
The thought of being able to suppress Izuna Uchiha for a full three minutes was enough to make him feel intimidated.
Tobirama Senju was brimming with energy!
After all, he had been treated like a beast of burden by Uchiha Nan before, but now at least he has received a reward.
The rewards are pretty good!
That's a remarkable improvement!
"Make a deal!!"
Tobirama Senju chose to agree to the condition.
Tobirama, being treated like an ox or a horse, deserves to be eaten!
