"You're back, Tobirama. Thank you for your hard work on this mission, Land of Night."
Among Hokage Building, Hashirama, who was working, looked at Tobirama who came in with a gentle smile on his face.
However, this gentle smile was mixed with a bit of fatigue.
Obviously, due to the lack of consultant Tobirama these days, his efficiency in handling government affairs has been greatly reduced, and he has to work late every day. He has to stay up all night several times. Even so, he may not be able to handle things properly.
So much so that serious dark circles began to appear around his eyes.
"Well, it's okay. Although we went through some twists and turns, things over there are finally settled. But regarding the punishment of Uchiha Shiranuma and others, we need to give some response here."
Tobirama came to the side and sat down naturally. As Hokage Advisor, he is also the younger brother of Hashirama. Facing Hashirama, Hokage, unlike others, his attitude towards Hashirama is very casual.
This is also the result of the two brothers getting along for many years. Now they are just applying their past experience in managing Senju Clan to the larger Konoha.
Mentioning people like Uchiha Shiranuma, Hashirama couldn't help but have a complicated look on his tired face, and sighed.
"Although I guessed that Uchiha Clan would not be reconciled and might even react violently, I did not expect that they would forge documents, enter other countries privately, and create conflicts in other countries. I will convene High-Level Meeting to discuss their punishment later."
This is not just an internal matter for the Uchiha Clan.
Because the behavior of Uchiha Shiranuma and others has risen to the overall level of Konoha. At the same time, Hashirama also intends to use this incident to give all races a reminder that times have changed, and everyone must act according to the rules of the new era.
If you continue to act with the same thoughts as in the past, you may end up with a bloody head.
"It's good to let them understand the rules of the new era. Without this matter, it might be more troublesome to deal with it."
Tobirama nodded, approving Hashirama's approach.
Rather than discussing it privately, convening High-Level Meeting is obviously more in line with the current interests of Konoha.
He knew that there were still many veterans of the Warring States Period who were dissatisfied with the ninja village system within each clan. However, these people were suppressed by the mainstream voices, but it did not mean that these people had completely lost their resistance.
The problem is not just one Uchiha. The diplomatic incident caused by Uchiha Shiranuma and others, and the High-Level Meeting specially convened to discuss and deal with it, is just setting an example.
Even Uchiha, one of the founders, is not immune to the common denominator. He must pay a price for doing wrong things, and the other families have no reason or qualification to be special.
It can be said that Hashirama's approach coincides with Tobirama's inner thoughts.
"The specific punishment for Shiranuma and others will be discussed later when High-Level Meeting comes. What is the situation at Hidden Cloud Village? According to the information I have received before, their whereabouts in recent months have been very strange, and they seem to be targeting Tailed Beasts."
Ignoring the questions from Shiranuma and others, Tobirama straightened his expression and asked Kumogakure for information.
At present, almost nothing major happens in Ninja World, but there are two things that are two thorns in the heart of Tobirama.
The first thorn is naturally Madara, who left Konoha and is currently missing. According to his guess, Madara is probably planning something secretly.
It's just that Madara's whereabouts are too difficult to grasp. After following up for a while and finding nothing, Tobirama made people give up.
The second thorn is naturally Kumogakure of Land of Lightning. According to the information he has, this village has gone crazy in order to improve its military strength, and it has Tailed Beasts's idea.
"After Madara injured Mr. Raikage, it may have deeply irritated them."
Hearing Tobirama mention this matter, Hashirama sighed helplessly.
Because of that fruitless meeting, he and Madara had huge differences in their ideas and gradually broke up.
Maybe at that time, he could notice Madara's emotions in advance, and maybe Madara wouldn't leave Konoha.
"It's too late to talk about this now. I think it's time to hold another meeting with the heads of ninja villages from various countries."
"Conference of Nations?"
"Of course, we can make a difference from last time and divide it into two parts. The first part is to let the shadow of Five Great Nations hold talks, and the second part is to let countries with ninja villages join the talks."
Tobirama In view of the talks, a distinction was made between big countries and small countries.
As long as big countries take the lead, small countries will naturally follow suit. This is obvious.
Just like the initial establishment of Konoha, as long as the big countries see the direction, they have to follow the new rules.
Of course, Tobirama will not give up this advantage that transcends the times.
He wants to use this meeting to further strengthen Konoha's status and allow the One Country, One Village system to take root completely.
In this way, Konoha is the vane of the entire Ninja World and has become a practical leader in various countries.
From now on, Konoha and Land of Fire will eat meat, and other countries and villages will follow suit.
Konoha has such qualifications and power.
"Well, in that case, it's a good idea."
Hashirama was not as realistic as Tobirama thought. He just felt that it would be conducive to Ninja World's peace and stability if everyone sat down and negotiated candidly.
"Compared to that, Tobirama, I have a more important matter here that I want to discuss with you."
Hashirama didn't think about it for too long. He ignored the topic, stood up from his seat, and walked to the bookshelf on the side.
"What's the matter, brother?"
Tobirama also stood up from his seat and came to Hashirama's side.
But before he could react, Hashirama's arms suddenly wrapped around his neck.
The strength was so great that Tobirama's face turned a little blue.
"Big, big brother..."
Tobirama doesn't doubt that Hashirama is fake. This terrifying Monster Strength, and this powerful Chakra that can suppress his whole body until he can't move. Among the Ninja World, only Hashirama can do it.
He just didn't understand why Hashirama suddenly took action against him.
"Tobirama ah..."
Hashirama took a long piece of paper from the bookshelf and smiled:
"You went to Land of Night to negotiate with General Oda, right? Then tell me, what's the matter with such a long bill sent from Land of Night?"
Hashirama spread out the bill so that Tobirama can see it clearly.
Looking at the densely packed price figures on the bill, Tobirama's face twitched.
"The minimum for a meal is one hundred thousand taels, and the maximum is five hundred thousand taels, and that's just for food. You go to high-end hot springs every day, watch several puppet shows a day, and sit in a special seat priced at 10,000 taels...Tobirama, is this the result of your month of negotiation? It's really hard work for you!"
Hashirama smiled warmly, but this warm smile was full of gritted teeth.
"Brother, this... this is because..."
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since our brothers closed the door and talked in private. Today, brother, I'm not going to do anything. I just want to talk to you Tobirama about something that's really deep in my heart."
Tobirama was already covered in cold sweat and the corners of his mouth were dry.
Oda, you have hurt me!
And aren't these things originally free?

"Ah sneeze!"
Yayoi on the training ground sneezed hard and felt like someone was cursing him behind his back.
He has now entered Chakra Armament Mode, and the materialized Chakra covering the surface is like a flowing blue flame wrapping his whole body, so dense that it can form a physical substance, integrating offense and defense.
Moreover, 'Sealing Sphere' with a golden halo flowing on its surface was also suspended in the palm of his hand, revealing complex sealing arrays on the golden shell.
"How about, Hisana, can you find out the problem?"
Yayoi looked at his newlywed wife Hisana who followed him to the training ground.
Her current attire is much simpler than that on her wedding day. She only wears a thin red and white miko uniform. Neither Chihaya nor the golden crown is worn, which is convenient for daily activities.
And after a few days of getting along with each other, although he didn't know everything about her, he had a rough idea of Hisana's character.
The relationship also heated up rapidly through intimate exchanges.
It was a bit of a waste of money, but he almost couldn't withstand the opponent's attack, which was like a bull's collision.
But when you consider that one meal of Hisana is almost equivalent to a month's worth of food for an average person, it makes sense.
A born Chakra monster, and a Jinchūriki candidate for the perfect Tailed Beasts container.
He suspected that Uzumaki Clan chose Hisana to marry him for this reason.
After all, Seven-Tails is in his hands and Ninja World is not a secret, and he has no hidden plans, because these are powerful capital used to deter foreign enemies.
"Let me take a look."
I originally thought that I came here just to watch some lively Hisana. After hearing Yayoi's request, Hisana stepped forward without thinking and observed the 'Sealing Sphere' floating in Yayoi's hand.
As she watched, she kept stuffing biscuits into her mouth and chewing them, so that she could hardly speak clearly, but her face was full of happiness.
There are no restrictions here, no endless morning lessons, no endless nagging, every meal can be full, and you can eat as much delicious food as you want... This kind of freedom to do whatever you want, and not to do anything if you don't want to, made her gradually forget her worries about the future at the beginning, and began to enjoy herself Uzumaki.
The most important thing is that every night... thinking of this, Hisana's slender legs in the red hakama skirt subconsciously rub and heat up.
'No, no, my husband is asking me serious questions now. You can't think about such shameless things. The evil thoughts should be dispersed, the evil thoughts should be dispersed...'
Hisana shook his head slightly and kept chanting incantations to exorcise evil spirits in his mind to throw those unbearable things out of his mind.
"Ahem."
Yayoi Seeing the newlywed wife giggling in a daze again, she couldn't help coughing to remind her to come back to her senses.
This young wife is good at everything, but she is always in a daze from time to time, standing there not knowing what to do with her stupidity.
Under Yayoi's cough, Hisana blushed and smiled sheepishly, then put on a serious expression, and his red eyes began to stare at the golden Chakra ball in the palm of Yayoi.
"It's so strange how did Chakra and Sealing Jutsu be engraved on it?"
Hisana rubbed his eyes. At first he thought he had seen it wrong, but then he looked carefully and found that he had seen it right.
Can Sealing Jutsu be engraved on the materialized Chakra for the second time?
Hisana was stunned. This touched upon her blind spot of knowledge. This was a bit unreasonable.
However, she did not forget the problem of Yayoi. She no longer paid attention to the materialized Chakra ball, but focused on the Sealing Jutsu above.
"Well, the performance level of this Sealing Jutsu is only average. The fact that it can operate so stably is probably due to this special Chakra."
Hisana's evaluation was a bit euphemistic. In fact, in her eyes, Yayoi was engraved on it with Sealing Jutsu completion, and she would not even give it a passing grade if she was asked to grade it.
The successful engraving of this Sealing Jutsu is entirely due to this unusual and special Chakra, which enhances the effect.
"This is the change here, this place needs to be like this..."
Listening to Hisana's rambling rectification suggestions, he said a lot of "this" and "that" modification words. Instead of making Yayoi understand, he became even more confused.
"What about something more specific?"
Yayoi interrupted Hisana's enthusiastic lecture and asked her to give more specific suggestions for modifications.
"..."
Hisana scratched his head and looked at Yayoi innocently without speaking.
She said it in such a simple way. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be better to have an epiphany immediately, then quickly find the gaps and fill them in yourself?
This is obviously what she taught in the shrine.
How come some people don't even know this simple common sense about Sealing Jutsu?
But this doesn't make sense. The sealing technique Yayoi carved on the chakra ball is an advanced sealing technique, the Seven-Star Seal.
If he didn't even have a solid foundation, how did he skip the previous stages and learn such an advanced Sealing Jutsu?
Hisana opened his mouth and felt that his scalp was itchy. He wanted to say something but stopped.
