After Uchiha Yuu finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of those around him. Minato Namikaze did not feel that the other party had done anything wrong, but when it came to the Third Hokage, the Third hesitated for a moment.
He still had some concerns about Minato Namikaze's abilities. If Uchiha Yuu were there to offer reminders, many problems could be avoided.
After all, Uchiha Yuu's planning and execution within the village had already earned everyone's recognition. In the end, the Third Hokage nodded lightly and said:
"I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes, protect the village's interests. Especially when it comes to dividing the pie, you must not show the slightest sign of weakness."
"Yes, we will not do anything that harms the village's interests."
Uchiha Yuu nodded lightly. With those words from the Third Hokage, he could hint at cooperation with Minato Namikaze. Together with Sunagakure, which had wholeheartedly thrown itself their way, they could restrain the remaining villages.
Uchiha Yuu was already prepared. He rose directly and left the Hokage's Office with the other two.
Only the Third Hokage remained, sitting where he was and quietly smoking his pipe. His thoughts were not on the three of them. There was one concern he had not voiced: Akatsuki had started out as a terrorist organization, and he feared that their ambitions extended beyond a single village. Kimura did not want to experience another Shinobi World War.
After the experience of the previous three wars, they had discovered an extremely awkward problem. Once a Shinobi World War broke out, Konoha would face a one-against-four situation. The other villages all wanted to carve up Konoha's rich land and population.
"Such troubled times. I only hope these lunatics understand that peace is the only path to development."
