"Right now, I don't need to do anything at all. Uchiha Tenshu alone is enough to make the entire Uchiha clan notorious, make every family in Konoha look down on them, and permanently eliminate them from the Hokage selection!"
Tobirama Senju felt delighted inside. After several years of honing his acting, he had become increasingly capable of controlling his expression. He did not reveal a smile on the spot and expose his true nature.
Yet Uchiha Tenshu, the subject of Hyuga Munenaga's discussion, did not feel embarrassed in the slightest.
The Uchiha clan could not become Hokage anyway, so what was the point of having such a good reputation?
They might as well make some money.
At the very least, the money they received every year counted as funding. There was no one in the entire West Gate Branch who disliked money.
Besides, no matter how well Konoha developed, it was all for the Senju clan and those wolves and stray dogs. No matter how much it prospered, outsiders would only think it was the Senju clan's contribution.
So why bother putting in the effort?
Take the other two Uchiha Military Police Force branch offices and the headquarters near the Konoha building. No matter how well they did, people still despised them, with all sorts of troublesome civilians constantly picking fights with their words.
Try that at the West Gate Branch, and three baton strikes would shatter a villager's soul. Captain, I'm a good citizen!
Moreover, only when Konoha's living environment became worse could he, as the King of Great Zhou, better highlight the difference between the two sides.
This way—
The Uchiha clan gained wealth, the criminals spent money to buy comfortable treatment, Tobirama Senju gained peace of mind, and the other major clans gained legitimate grounds to ostracize
