Uchiha Takashi: "... Uh, would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"
"What do you think?" Tatsu Uchiha looked at Uchiha Takashi with a deathly smile.
Uchiha Takashi: "Why does my back feel so cold?"...
After a while, following a public denunciation and accusation session, the two finally sat down at their desks to discuss the issues surrounding these applications.
"Chief, your idea is to group these people into teams based on their respective strengths, creating squads with relatively balanced attributes?"
Uchiha Takashi nodded. "That's right. Now that the number of non-Uchiha ninja that our Uchiha Clan can mobilize is increasing, we must consider the issue of team formation."
We might be able to break them up and then form a mixed team, like Hyuga with Chinoike and Shimura.
Not only can it unleash significant combat capabilities, but it can also prevent them from gathering together as clan ninjas and harboring inappropriate intentions towards our Uchiha Clan.
Tatsu Uchiha nodded repeatedly as he listened to Uchiha Takashi's idea, expressing his strong agreement with this approach. "Indeed, this formation not only maximizes combat effectiveness but also prevents them from rebelling."
Uchiha Takashi: "Since you agree, senpai, then regarding this matter..."
"Then you, clan leader, should handle it." Tatsu Uchiha wasn't buying Uchiha Takashi's act at all. He clearly saw through Uchiha Takashi's attempt to shirk responsibility and threw the problem back at him without hesitation.
"Since it was proposed by the clan leader, it's natural that you, the clan leader, should handle it. If I were to take charge, there's a high chance of some problems arising. Besides, I'm already overwhelmed with a ton of other issues and things, how could I possibly have time to deal with this?"
After finishing his sentence, Tatsu Uchiha left the office without giving Uchiha Takashi a chance to refute him.
Uchiha Takashi stared blankly at Tatsu Uchiha's departing figure, unsure of what to say.
"Hmm..." After regaining his senses, Uchiha Takashi thought quietly for a while, and then he thought of a way to exploit a bug.
Uchiha Takashi picked up a piece of paper and began to write, "Feng, how are you doing? The clan needs you! Return immediately with the information on the Chinoike Clan ninjas!"
Heh, he's not stupid. He could just call Fū Uchiha back to help him with the work, or if that doesn't work, he could just call back Kyō Uchiha, who's staying in the Hyuga Clan.
He really is clever; he actually came up with such a lazy method. He's practically a genius!
The Uchiha Clan Hagoromo Clan's camp was not far away.
Having suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of the Uchiha Clan several years ago, the Hagoromo Clan has yet to recover, and the clan itself appears somewhat deserted and quiet.
The moment the Senju Clan envoy stepped in, he thought he had wandered into a small village. How could this be the same Hagoromo who had previously been so famous for associating with the Uchiha Clan?
The Senju Clan still vividly remembers the glorious days when the Hagoromo Clan fought alongside the Uchiha Clan against them. Only a few years later, their glory has vanished into this state.
The envoy from the Senju Clan was truly amazed and deeply impressed.
" Senju Clan, are you here to laugh at us?" said a member of the Hagoromo Clan who had brought in the Senju Clan envoy.
The Senju Clan envoy quickly waved his hand. "That's not true. We came with the intention of befriending Hagoromo."
Just as the two were talking, Oto Senju slowly walked towards the main hall of the Hagoromo Clan.
Because the current head of the Hagoromo Clan was standing there quietly watching them.
The Hagoromo Clan Chief looked at Oto Senju walking towards them and said in an icy tone, "Isn't this a member of the Senju Clan? What brings you here?"
Oto Senju slowly walked up to him. "Chief Hagoromo, we came here with the intention of helping you. Aren't you going to welcome us?"
"We can't afford the Senju Clan's help! Who knows what your Senju intentions are? To exploit us? To annex us? Oh well, it's all the same anyway."
Oto Senju shook her head. "No, we came with sincerity. The Uchiha Clan's strength has greatly increased. Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
The war a few years ago has turned you into this. Have you really swallowed your anger and don't want to retaliate?
Upon hearing the mention of the war from a few years ago, the Hagoromo Clan Chief's expression immediately changed, and he said through gritted teeth, "Of course we will retaliate, but what does that have to do with your Senju Clan?"
Oto Senju curled her lips. "How can it not be related? Our Senju Clan is the Uchiha Clan's greatest enemy. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
We are all enemies of the Uchiha, so why can't we become friends, help each other, and fight against the Uchiha together? At least we have a common enemy, don't we?"
"Huh? You? Your Senju Clan isn't any better! You indulge in all sorts of vices like drinking, gambling, and whoring! You have absolutely no image of a ninja! And it seems your grudge against us is even greater than our grudge against the Uchiha Clan!"
The Hagoromo Clan Chief sneered, "If we're really talking about it, your Senju Clan is our number one enemy!"
Oto Senju: "I can look to the future for past grudges, but the way you've become—you're all from the Uchiha Clan, and which of your family members and friends died in the battles against the Uchiha Clan?"
Focusing on the hatred for the Senju Clan is too distant; shouldn't we seek revenge on the closest enemy? At least that enemy is right before our eyes, and we can truly feel it.
Oto Senju's thinking was simple: although Hagoromo harbored deep hatred for the Senju, that hatred stemmed from the older generation; at least the current generation hadn't engaged in war with the Senju Clan.
The harm inflicted on the Uchiha Clan, existing only in oral traditions and historical records, is naturally far less compelling than firsthand experience. This harm is undoubtedly more profound for the current members of the clan.
Therefore, Hagoromo's hatred for the Uchiha is definitely greater than that for the Senju. This is precisely what Oto Senju is targeting: the hatred of the older generation is nothing compared to one's own hatred.
Using this hatred as a springboard, the Hagoromo Clan and Senju Clan united to fight against the Uchiha.
"You want to use us as cannon fodder? But what if I don't agree?" The Hagoromo Clan Chief narrowed his eyes and said, " Senju Clan, you've misjudged the situation."
Oto Senju's eyes flickered. "Don't you really want revenge? Besides, our purpose in coming here was only to help you recover and to give us a powerful ally."
As for whether you want to retaliate or not, whether you are willing to go to war with the Uchiha, that's entirely up to you...
The Hagoromo Clan Chief listened to Oto Senju's words and fell into thought. After a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Regarding the matters you mentioned, we will naturally discuss and reach a conclusion ourselves."
But right now, the Senju will never use us!
Oto Senju agreed, secretly pleased that the first step of the plan had succeeded and it was time to proceed to the second.
