The sudden turn of events instantly caused an uproar in the audience.
Just a second ago, the pressure was all focused on Senju Tobirama, but now it had shifted to the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire.
At this moment, the Lord Elder's breath seemed to carry flames, and his face was flushed red.
What the f*ck, I became a treacherous minister?
Clearly, you Akatsuki and Konoha are the rebellious subjects and traitors!
However, despite the Lord Elder continuously crying out his grievances in his heart, Uchiha Makoto had no intention of letting him go.
"What exactly is your intention, daring to question the Hokage, question Konoha's loyalty to the Land of Fire?"
"If you are a hero, a brave man, then admit what you did."
"Uchiha Makoto, stop spewing blood here! Who secretly plotted to wipe out my whole family, you and I both know very well!"
"If you push too hard..."
"Don't think I'm afraid of you, I just don't want blood to be spilled on the streets between us!"
After all, the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire was a Lord Elder of a country, usually living in luxury, holding a high position and heavy power, a top-level Celestial Dragon.
Now he was also a victim of the assassination incident.
Facing Uchiha Makoto's repeated attacks that could be called "turning black into white."
His temper also rose at this time, and he fought back without losing momentum.
However, the remaining rationality still allowed the Lord Elder to maintain a certain degree of restraint.
There was no helping it.
Dragging Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama into the water with the assassination case was already the limit.
If Uchiha Makoto, the Kōkage from the Uchiha clan, was added, the Uchiha clan would be.... Once things got completely out of hand, it would not be good for the Land of Fire.
At that time, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would also have to come forward to defend Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village... This is the value of the united front!
But this level of threat...
Uchiha Makoto didn't care at all. Why did he and Senju Tobirama work so hard to plan an assassination operation and make things so complicated?
Wasn't it because Senju Hashirama, the strongest ninja in the ninja world, was on the side of the Land of Fire?
Of course... just apprehension.
Senju Hashirama was a famous good old man. Even if the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire ignored everything and directly made the truth of the assassination case completely public.
So what?
It would be nothing more than tearing off the face completely and declaring war.
Without nobles, ninjas could still rob with kunai, but if nobles lost ninjas.... the common people who were about to starve to death would also pick up knives.
Or... would Senju Hashirama fight to the death with the Akatsuki Ninja Village because of this matter?
Stop joking. If he really had such determination, the ninja world would have been unified long ago.
And, most importantly, Uchiha Madara was not dead yet.
The sky won't fall.
In short, everyone playing dumb together and turning a blind eye is the optimal choice.
But whoever backs down at the critical moment will lose!
"Ah?"
"Blood spilled on the streets?"
"You actually dare to openly threaten to make me see blood in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?"
"You are simply lawless."
"To deal with a rebellious subject and traitor like you, we must strike hard. Akatsuki ninjas... take him down for me!"
Uchiha Makoto said.
When necessary, it is still necessary to show force appropriately... for example, now.
Subsequently, Uchiha Makoto disregarded the identity of the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire completely and directly ordered the Akatsuki ninjas on the scene to take down the Lord Elder in public.
And the Akatsuki ninjas behind Uchiha Makoto.... they were shocked by the change in the situation before them. Clearly, it was the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, such a high-ranking minister, yet Lord Kōkage wanted to act in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Then, they rushed forward in a swarm.
This is the time to test loyalty.
"Yes, Lord Kōkage!"
"Loyalty!!"
—They ate Lord Kōkage's kindness and were Lord Kōkage's personal guards, so they naturally had to listen to Lord Kōkage's orders.
As for the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire... who is he?
Don't know him at all.
In just a few breaths.
The swarming Akatsuki ninjas had surrounded the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, and the well-maintained kunai and shuriken were already pressed against the Lord Elder's face.
Killing intent spread instantly.
This shocking scene left the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire in a state of shock, daring not even breathe loudly.
He really didn't expect Uchiha Makoto to be so bold, to take action against him in such an occasion, right in front of the Daimyo?
At this moment, the Lord Elder recalled the feeling of being chased by Shimura Danzō until he fled in embarrassment that day.... Weak, powerless, like a small boat in a storm, life and death were not up to him, but depended on the ninja in front of him.
Facing this tense situation, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, the two brothers, obviously didn't expect Uchiha Makoto to be so bold either.
Right in front of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Uchiha Makoto directly ordered the arrest of the Lord Elder?
This is too lawless.
Senju Hashirama: "Makoto, calm down."
Senju Tobirama: "Yes, Uchiha Makoto, don't act on impulse, you can't hurt the Lord Elder."
"Senju Tobirama, you are afraid that I will hurt him, aren't you afraid that he will hurt me?"
"You all heard it just now, he was threatening me, wanting me to see blood!"
Uchiha Makoto heard the voices in his ears, then turned his head, looked at the anxious Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, and said so.
At this time, his expression was very ugly, and he showed no attitude of stopping.
Senju Hashirama speaking for the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire at this time, Uchiha Makoto was not surprised at all, after all, he was a good old man who liked to smooth things over.
But Senju Tobirama...
I am standing up for you now!!
You f*cking rolled out of swords and guns, can you be more spirited and not lose face!
And as Uchiha Makoto refused to give an inch, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama could only constantly persuade Uchiha Makoto to calm down.
At this time, the atmosphere in the palace also became extremely tense.
No one dared to act rashly.
Senju Hashirama completely didn't understand why Uchiha Makoto was so angry.
While shocked, Senju Tobirama also felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart... Uchiha Makoto, this naturally evil Uchiha brat, is quite reliable at critical moments, but still too impulsive.
The Lord Elder of the Land of Fire dared not move at all, for fear that he would anger Uchiha Makoto. Once Uchiha Makoto gave the order, this group of ninjas would probably execute the order without blinking an eye.
He could only signal frequently to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire with his eyes.
In this situation, it is no longer something a mere Lord Elder can control. The Daimyo must come forward.
And the Daimyo, who hadn't said much from beginning to end, had veins popping on his forehead, and his chest felt like it was pressed by a big stone.
"Rebellious subject and traitor!"
"Simply a rebellious subject and traitor, truly bold!!"
The Daimyo roared in his heart.
He originally held unrealistic expectations, wanting to use this matter to suppress the arrogance of Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village.
But he didn't expect it to turn out like this.
For so many years, no one in this palace dared to do such bold things.
Uchiha Makoto not only publicly turned black into white but now dared to use force in front of him?
Is this f*cking targeting the Lord Elder?
It's clearly aimed at me!
"Why did I believe Uchiha Makoto's sweet words back then and help him establish the Akatsuki Ninja Village."
"Now..."
Under the rage of the Daimyo, a wave of regret followed.
When Uchiha Makoto was down and out, leaving the Uchiha clan alone and choosing to establish his own ninja village independently, it was when he was poor and a commander without soldiers. It was the Daimyo who extended a helping hand in time at this critical moment, helping Uchiha Makoto build the framework of the Akatsuki Ninja Village. Later, the two joined forces to set up a game and harvested a large sum of money from the nobles, giving the Akatsuki Ninja Village sufficient financial funds.
Otherwise, Uchiha Makoto would probably still be wasting time in the ninja world.
Of course...
The Daimyo wasn't that kind-hearted either.
He supported Uchiha Makoto only because he was afraid that Konoha led by Senju Hashirama would grow too big, and wanted to support another ninja village to compete with Konoha.
It's just that the Daimyo didn't expect... the first thing Uchiha Makoto did after rising was to forget his roots.
However..
No matter how much resentment and anger the Daimyo had in his heart, he could only choose to endure now.
Because he was actually afraid in his heart, and his heart was pounding.
Uchiha Makoto was not a good person, and his temper had always been lawless.
In case adding fuel to the fire at this time pushed him too far, the Lord Elder might really die!
And Konoha's attitude...
Senju Hashirama is not credible, and Senju Tobirama is even less credible.
Perhaps this scene now was discussed beforehand by these two ninja villages.
Ninja villages fighting, Daimyo and Lord Elder dying suddenly?!
Such things absolutely cannot happen.
"Kōkage, calm down, the Lord Elder didn't mean that."
"You have to be considerate of the Lord Elder's mood. After all, the assassination hurt him greatly. At his age, losing his spouse and son.... it is inevitable to be emotional."
The Daimyo forced a smile on his face and finally spoke to Uchiha Makoto, with a gentle tone and sincere attitude.
In this situation, being able to maintain such calm without shouting angrily.
This made Uchiha Makoto look sideways.
He suddenly ordered action against the Lord Elder, not only to vent his anger and suppress the Lord Elder but also to make the Daimyo step from behind the scenes to the front stage.
The assassination case has not been concluded until now. On the surface, it is the Lord Elder who keeps holding on, wanting to drag Senju Tobirama into the water.
But in the final analysis, it is because the Daimyo supports the Lord Elder behind the scenes to cause trouble. Even the Lord Elder suddenly colluding with the Uchiha clan is probably the Daimyo's order.
So just shutting up the Lord Elder is not enough; the problem of the Daimyo must also be solved.
"Really good at enduring... underestimated you."
"Don't know if you are afraid of water... The water in the ninja world is unusually cold."
"If it really doesn't work, can only let Senju Tobirama go, he is a Water Style master."
Uchiha Makoto looked up at the Daimyo and sighed in his heart.
"Makoto, the Daimyo has spoken, calm down."
"We are here to solve the problem. No matter what... we can't treat the Lord Elder..."
Senju Hashirama's speech was as awkward as ever.
Uchiha Makoto felt he was a pig teammate... If you are not tougher at this time, your brother Senju Tobirama will be exposed.
The Daimyo felt Senju Hashirama was a genius at playing dumb.
You ninjas are already so presumptuous, what kind of good person are you pretending to be here?!
If you, the Hokage, were really loyal to the Land of Fire, you should immediately take down Uchiha Makoto, this rebellious subject and traitor!
However, despite this, the Daimyo endured the disgust and unhappiness in his heart and continued along with Senju Hashirama's words.
"Yes, Kōkage, there must be a misunderstanding. The Lord Elder was just anxious for a moment. Whether towards Akatsuki or Konoha...."
"No one will doubt your loyalty to the Land of Fire."
After several comforts.
Uchiha Makoto also felt that the timing was about right.
After all, even as the Kōkage, he couldn't really kill the Lord Elder in public, and he had to maintain superficial respect for the Daimyo. (Daimyo: Is this how you respect me?)
And Senju Hashirama was also watching "covetously" from the side.
With his strength, even if the Akatsuki ninjas wanted to kill the Lord Elder, they would definitely be stopped by him.
Subsequently, a smile appeared on Uchiha Makoto's face, and he looked up in the direction of Senju Tobirama: "Senju Tobirama, then... what is your opinion?"
Senju Tobirama immediately straightened his back unconsciously.
—Makoto, you are so f*cking loyal, from now on you are my brother from another mother!
Subsequently, Senju Tobirama publicly expressed his attitude with a righteous face.
"Makoto, since the Daimyo and brother say so... the innocent are innocent, the guilty are guilty, our hearts are clean!"
"We are absolutely loyal to the Land of Fire, there is nothing we can't say clearly."
"That's right, I think so too."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Everything was understood without saying.
Senju Hashirama, standing beside Senju Tobirama, listened to the words in his ears, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart—the relationship between these two people progressed too fast!
However, despite this, with Senju Tobirama's statement, Uchiha Makoto's attitude also softened, so Senju Hashirama also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at this time.
"Kōkage, it's great that you can understand this matter."
"Everyone from the Akatsuki Ninja Village, what are you still standing there for? Put away the shuriken and kunai in your hands quickly."
Seeing the atmosphere at the scene eased.
The Daimyo couldn't wait to issue orders, ordering the Akatsuki ninjas to put away the shuriken and kunai in their hands.... The Lord Elder, his face was already pale!
However... the Akatsuki ninjas remained motionless, their eyes looking at Uchiha Makoto.
"Hmph..."
"The Daimyo asked you to put away the kunai and shuriken in your hands, didn't you hear?"
"Since the Daimyo has spoken, what are you still standing there for?"
"Release the Lord Elder quickly."
"Yes, Lord Kōkage!" *n
The corners of Uchiha Makoto's mouth couldn't help but curl up, a smile appeared on his face, and he even couldn't help but hum lightly.
Daimyo... can you bypass me and command the Akatsuki ninjas?
Wishful thinking!
