After going around in circles a few times.
The Uchiha Great Elder chose to be a non-stick pan.
He didn't want to offend Uchiha Makoto and the Senju clan, nor did he want to offend the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, a potential super big sugar daddy.
After all, the overall economic volume of the Land of Fire is much higher than that of the Akatsuki Ninja Village.
As the Lord Elder of a country, the resources he can mobilize in the Land of Fire are no less than Uchiha Makoto's. Just a little inclination of resources can make the Uchiha clan extremely wealthy.
However... the Uchiha Great Elder didn't have the smooth skills of Zhao Zhenji.
Senju Hashirama was a complete muddle-head and didn't care about what the Uchiha Great Elder said at all.
But Senju Tobirama had wanted to kill the Uchiha Great Elder for a long time. It was just that he was in danger and couldn't spare the effort to deal with him. When he recovered, he would definitely find a suitable excuse to screw the Uchiha Great Elder to death in the future.
And the Uchiha Great Elder's private contact with the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire this time also offended Uchiha Makoto.
Indeed.
Uchiha Makoto and the Uchiha Great Elder had a very good private relationship. He valued old feelings and indeed didn't think about killing the Uchiha Great Elder, but the Uchiha Great Elder and the group of uncles behind him who were muddle-headed and liked to be smart should retire and go home to take care of themselves as soon as possible.
It's good to have tea chats on weekdays and receive filial piety from juniors during holidays.
Everyone is decent.
Uchiha Makoto has begun to employ the clansmen he has won over within the Uchiha clan over the years, preparing to find an opportunity for them to replace the Uchiha Great Elder's position in the family.
As for the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, he originally intended to use the Uchiha Great Elder to provoke the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.
Now he was "stabbed in the back" by the Uchiha Great Elder at this critical moment.
It can be imagined that when the Uchiha Great Elder goes to apologize to the Lord Elder afterwards, a obedience test is inevitable.
And now... the Lord Elder even has the heart to kill the Uchiha Great Elder.
The decision-making power was kicked back to Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Makoto.
If it were just Senju Hashirama here alone, the Lord Elder felt there was still a chance... but Uchiha Makoto was also here.
"The Uchiha Great Elder is right."
"This matter is of great importance, and ultimately requires the Kage to make a decision."
"Considering that public opinion is unfavorable to Konoha, since the Lord Elder wants to prove Konoha's innocence so much, why not leave this matter to the Akatsuki Ninja Village? I will send capable and trustworthy Akatsuki ninjas to investigate the Konoha ANBU personnel."
Uchiha Makoto did not disappoint the Lord Elder.
Taking advantage of the Uchiha Great Elder's topic, he proposed to let Akatsuki ninjas thoroughly investigate the Konoha ANBU.
"Hokage, what do you think of my suggestion? You wouldn't distrust me, would you?"
"No problem, Makoto, of course I trust you."
"Let your Akatsuki ninjas thoroughly investigate this matter. In this way, no one can make an issue of it in the future and falsely accuse our Konoha of shielding each other."
The Lord Elder wanted to stop it.
—Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama are the masterminds behind the assassination of my whole family. Letting Uchiha Makoto investigate Senju Tobirama is no different from not investigating.
However, Senju Hashirama didn't think so much. Before the Lord Elder could speak, he gladly agreed.
A satisfied smile appeared on Uchiha Makoto's face immediately.
The Konoha ANBU was established by Senju Tobirama single-handedly. From personnel selection, training assessment to task assignment, everything was controlled by him personally.
It is both his private land and an iron plate, impenetrable by water and fire.
Just looking at how he could organize a group of absolutely reliable personnel in a short time to execute the beheading task of assassinating the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire is enough to glimpse how terrifying his control over the ANBU is.
Now, under the pretext of investigating the case of the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, Akatsuki ninjas can actually go deep into the Konoha ANBU for investigation.
This is an unexpected gain.
And Uchiha Makoto will not let go of such a good opportunity. He must take the excuse of investigating the case to strip Senju Tobirama's underwear off.
For this reason, Uchiha Makoto specially winked at Senju Tobirama and asked: "Senju Tobirama, what do you think of my suggestion?"
How is it?
Of course it's f*cking terrible!
Just seeing Uchiha Makoto's triumphant look, Senju Tobirama wished he could directly hack Uchiha Makoto, this naturally evil Uchiha brat, to death with the Flying Thunder God Slash.
How could he not guess Uchiha Makoto's sinister intentions?
Isn't it just wanting to use this excuse to investigate his Konoha ANBU and see his underwear clearly!
In the future, if his ANBU wants to do something behind Uchiha Makoto's back, it will be much harder than before!
And Uchiha Makoto f*cking deliberately asked him again... simply a bandit, worse than a bandit!
Bandits know to avoid people when doing such dirty things and not be seen in public.
Beast, Uchiha Makoto is a beast!
However... in this situation, Senju Tobirama had no way at all.
He could only choose to submit obediently.
Because Uchiha Makoto had completely dominated Senju Tobirama.... If he refused, Senju Tobirama was really afraid that Uchiha Makoto would kick him off the boat halfway.
"How did I get obsessed back then and help Uchiha Makoto do such a treasonous thing as assassinating the 'Lord Elder's' whole family?"
"Now not only are my pigtails caught by Uchiha Makoto, but my underwear is also going to be stripped off and seen by Uchiha Makoto."
"In the future... in the future... what should I do!"
Senju Tobirama thought so in his heart, sighing and mourning.
Since meeting Uchiha Makoto, it can be said that he has been tortured and oppressed all the way, and even his soul has been tainted by him, doing a series of things against his heart.
Now it is even harder to turn back, and even in the future, he can only follow Uchiha Makoto down the dark path.
"Of course I have no objection."
In the end, Senju Tobirama could only force a smile and nod in agreement.
The smile on Uchiha Makoto's face became brighter, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he even couldn't help but hum lightly.
Senju Tobirama's mood became even sadder. Of course.... he was not the only sad person.
There was also the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, who hasn't said a word until now.
Can't really let Uchiha Makoto investigate Senju Tobirama, right? This definitely won't find anything.
"I think the Land of Fire should also participate in this matter. I can organize personnel to follow the Akatsuki Ninja Village to investigate this matter."
"In this way, when clarifying rumors, it will be more convincing."
The Lord Elder hurriedly opened his mouth and said.
He absolutely cannot let the Akatsuki Ninja Village investigate Senju Tobirama alone. The officials of the Land of Fire must also send personnel to participate.
"Lord Elder, what do you mean?"
"You don't trust Konoha's loyalty to the Land of Fire, and now you don't even trust the Akatsuki Ninja Village?"
"And you group of ordinary people, can you investigate ninja matters clearly?"
Seeing that the Lord Elder still wanted to play tricks at this time, Uchiha Makoto didn't intend to indulge him anymore.
So what if he hides beside Senju Hashirama?
Do you really think I'm afraid of Senju Hashirama... Lord Madara's Susanoo is not necessarily disadvantageous!
Several big hats were instantly put on the Lord Elder's head again, and the Akatsuki ninjas seemed to receive Uchiha Makoto's instruction again.
Their eyes stared at the Lord Elder in unison.
"Kōkage, I didn't mean that."
"I naturally trust the Akatsuki Ninja Village."
"I just don't want unfavorable remarks about Konoha to come out in the Land of Fire because of the assassination case in the future."
In an instant, the Lord Elder felt like thorns on his back and immediately began to defend himself.
His body also unconsciously moved closer to Senju Hashirama.
"Speaking of this matter, I remember now, who exactly dares to spread such remarks in the Land of Fire."
"This is simply destroying the trust between Konoha and the Land of Fire, simply courting death."
"The Lord Elder was assassinated because of rogue ninjas causing trouble. It seems that the Land of Fire has become unsafe again. We must strike hard at them."
"Your Highness, this matter has reached an imminent moment. Today they dare to frame Konoha, tomorrow they dare to frame the Akatsuki Ninja Village. Today they dare to assassinate the Lord Elder, maybe tomorrow they can assassinate you. So please allocate funds urgently..... Konoha and the Akatsuki Ninja Village are always ready to dedicate loyalty to the Land of Fire."
Uchiha Makoto didn't intend to continue haggling with the Lord Elder at this time.
Although he holds a high position in the Land of Fire, compared to the Daimyo, the Lord Elder is just a "minion."
Threatening the Lord Elder is not as good as threatening the Daimyo directly.
With a few words, Uchiha Makoto clearly expressed his attitude. He knew very well who was chewing Konoha's "tongue" behind the scenes.
It's the Lord Elder!
And who does the Lord Elder obey?
That is naturally the Daimyo. Since those rogue ninjas dare to assassinate the Lord Elder now, if this continues, they might have the guts to assassinate the Daimyo in the future.
So, this matter ends here for me. Let's all turn a blind eye.
And for everyone to be safe in the future...
The Land of Fire has to pay a large sum of money to suppress bandits now!
The smart people present understood Uchiha Makoto's meaning.
Senju Tobirama has gradually become accustomed to Uchiha Makoto's boldness. Uchiha Makoto publicly threatening the Daimyo now is unexpected but reasonable for him.
He is just very worried about another thing.
Regarding Uchiha Makoto's ambition to be the ruler of the world, Senju Tobirama knows it clearly. In the past, he was a resolute opponent!
But now....
Senju Tobirama's soul has been tainted by Uchiha Makoto, and he was forced by Uchiha Makoto to commit such a treasonous act as assassinating the Lord Elder's whole family. He is considered to be on his pirate ship.
Since Uchiha Makoto publicly threatens the Daimyo now, then if he really does this in the future.
Should I stop him?
Uhm... being able to stop Uchiha Makoto might be a luxury.
Senju Tobirama feels that he might be forced by Uchiha Makoto to become his accomplice again.
Such a future is a nightmare just thinking about it.
..... Brother, I'm sorry!!
The Lord Elder looked at Uchiha Makoto with astonishment.
Obviously, he didn't expect Uchiha Makoto to really dare to threaten the Daimyo like this.
Uchiha Makoto, you are indeed a rebellious subject and traitor.
Unfortunately... as the Lord Elder, he is just an ordinary person.
The Lord Elder knows very well that if he continues to be stubborn and confront Uchiha Makoto, he will only have a dead end.
And the Daimyo who was directly threatened by Uchiha Makoto.
His face became uglier than ever.
"Uchiha Makoto, how dare he, how dare he...."
"This is threatening me!!"
"After assassinating the Lord Elder, not only thinking of deceiving the world but also wanting to extort a sum of money from me!"
"Do you really think I'm a sucker, or do you think I, the Daimyo, am a decoration?"
The Daimyo tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, not falling out with Uchiha Makoto on the spot. Under the rage, he even laughed out of extreme anger.
"Kōkage, I'm afraid you are alarmist."
"Even a few years ago, when the ninja village had not yet been established, in that more chaotic era, I had never heard of ninjas daring to assassinate the Daimyo of a country."
"Even the Lord Elder... is the same."
"Now that the ninja village has been established, the Land of Fire has your two major ninja villages to protect me. After the Lord Elder was assassinated, there are still rogue ninjas daring to assassinate me?"
"If this is really the case, Kōkage, Hokage, aren't your ninja villages too incompetent?"
The Daimyo said.
His words were extremely sarcastic.
He was pointing at the noses of the ninjas present and cursing.
The assassination of the Lord Elder is already a huge matter, and both major ninja villages are considered derelict in their duties.
If the Daimyo of a country is also assassinated, then the two major ninja villages really have no face left. What kind of guardian ninja villages are they?
Although Senju Hashirama is stupid, he also knows "propriety, justice, integrity, and honor." He couldn't help lowering his head in shame, listening to the Daimyo's "teachings."
However, Uchiha Makoto is thick-skinned and black-hearted, not caring about the Daimyo's words at all.
Where is this going?
In the future, Daimyo, if you are honest, you can still be a wealthy man. If you are not honest, you can only melt in water.
"Your Highness, times have changed, and cannot be generalized."
"Our ninja village naturally has the ability to protect you well, but nothing is absolute in the world."
"Where in this world is there a river embankment as solid as metal, where is there a weir as solid as metal. I just don't want the vicious incident of the assassination of the Lord Elder to repeat itself."
"So, Your Highness, you should accept loyal advice and pay to suppress bandits."
Uchiha Makoto sneered and said.
The answer is well-founded.
He, a great loyal minister of the Land of Fire, is wholeheartedly thinking about the safety of the Daimyo.
The Daimyo was not to be outdone.
"Kōkage, then do you mean that if I don't listen and don't accept your loyal advice, my safety will not be guaranteed in the future?"
"Will that group of treasonous rogue ninjas definitely come to assassinate me?"
"Hard to say!!"
