Love brothers, or love gold?
It's a question worth pondering.
Undoubtedly...
Uchiha Makoto chose to love gold, and... Senju Tobirama was not his brother.
Of course, Senju Tobirama thought the same in his heart.
So, Uchiha Makoto "opened his lion's mouth" and wanted to take away a thirty percent share of the blood tax at once... involving thirty percent of the blood tax, such a large sum was enough to break the friendship boat between the two.
It was only because the location here was not far from the palace of the Land of Fire that the two of them didn't start fighting.
However, because Senju Tobirama's pigtail of "assassinating the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire" was held in Uchiha Makoto's hand, in order to buy out this pigtail from Uchiha Makoto once and for all, Senju Tobirama finally chose to compromise.
—Because of a guilty conscience, he really didn't dare to confront Uchiha Makoto head-on.
"Don't be so disheartened. This money was originally unexpected income."
"At the beginning, none of us thought we could take this opportunity to extort the Daimyo, and there will be plenty of such opportunities to make money in the future.
"Next time, as long as you are obedient and actively charge forward, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Uchiha Makoto verbally agreed to Senju Tobirama's "buyout" agreement, and incidentally painted a big cake for Senju Tobirama skillfully.
This extorted blood tax was an unexpected gain.
There will be plenty of opportunities to extort nobles in the future. As long as Senju Tobirama cooperates obediently, everyone can harvest leeks!
However, these words instantly changed flavor in Senju Tobirama's ears.
He seriously suspected that Uchiha Makoto had planned everything long ago.
From forcing him to assassinate the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire... until now, everything was within Uchiha Makoto's plan.
He did the hardest and most tiring work, had to deal with the aftermath in fear, but the return he got in the end was taken by this bastard Uchiha Makoto.
If anyone said Uchiha Makoto hadn't calculated beforehand, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"There will be such opportunities in the future?"
"You naturally evil brat, don't think I don't know your thoughts."
"Let me tell you, I will only do this kind of thing once. I will absolutely not cooperate with you to do such treasonous things again in the future. Just give up this idea!"
"Sooner or later, I will kill you!"
Senju Tobirama still gritted his teeth.
He would never be like this again, following Uchiha Makoto down the dark path in the future.
Finally, he didn't forget to issue a verbal threat to Uchiha Makoto.
However, Uchiha Makoto didn't care about Senju Tobirama's remarks.... Since Senju Tobirama had boarded his ship, he couldn't get off.
Because the truth of the assassination case of the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire would be found out by the Daimyo sooner or later, and as the mastermind behind the scenes, Senju Tobirama had lost the opportunity to reconcile with the Land of Fire.
It was really just a matter of time before Konoha and the Daimyo completely confronted each other in the future.
This is the general trend, impossible to change.
The most Senju Tobirama could do was to be sandwiched between Uchiha Makoto and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, suffering from both sides, delaying for a while.
"I'm waiting for you to kill me!"
"Tch~ You've said such words so many times, but I haven't seen you have the guts to put them into practice. Do you know what crime it is to assassinate the Kōkage!"
"Also, after you evil old ghost die, see how I deal with Konoha!"
"You evil brat!"
Uchiha Makoto never had the habit of admitting defeat verbally.
The two of them greeted each other and cursed all the way back to their accommodation.
Senju Hashirama sat on the sofa in the room, flipping through "The New Ninja" with relish while waiting for the two of them.
As soon as they approached the room, Senju Tobirama kicked the door open.
He breathed heavily and poured himself a large mouthful of cold water first. Obviously, he was quite angry with Uchiha Makoto.
—Don't expose shortcomings when cursing people. Uchiha Makoto had turned over all his old accounts along the way.
Senju Hashirama was a bit confused about this.
Just by intuition, he felt the hostility emanating from Senju Tobirama towards Uchiha Makoto.
Clearly, the relationship between the two had progressed rapidly before, why did it suddenly become like this?
"Tobirama, what happened... why are you so angry!"
"What happened with you and Uchiha Makoto again?"
"Brother, it's just that Uchiha Makoto is lucky. If it were in the early years, I would have hacked him to death long ago!"
In desperation.
Senju Hashirama could only turn his gaze to Uchiha Makoto.
"Lord Hashirama, the relationship broke down, but this really isn't my fault. It was Senju Tobirama who started attacking me personally first."
"Bullshit, clearly you have been pushing your luck."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I have experience in this kind of thing. Back then, Madara and I were also like this, always having conflicts over some small things... You two...."
Senju Hashirama quickly expressed understanding.
When he and Uchiha Madara were young, they were also like this, arguing endlessly over some inexplicable small things, and finally had to fight to give up.
Thinking about it now, I really miss it... Madara, his personality has become more and more eccentric recently.
With Senju Hashirama smoothing things over, Senju Tobirama didn't argue with Uchiha Makoto anymore.
Of course, more importantly, he didn't want to hear Senju Hashirama continue to chatter in his ear.
Madara, Madara, Madara... Brother, all you know is Madara!!
And!
Brother, why do you think my relationship with Uchiha Makoto would be good?
Senju Tobirama understood the ill-fated relationship between his brother and Uchiha Madara somewhat. There was still a feeling of mutual appreciation between the two of them, but... he also knew very well his feelings for Uchiha Makoto: "Uchiha Makoto, let me kill you!!! A thousand times is not enough!!!!!"
Subsequently, the three people could finally get along peacefully in the same room.
Senju Hashirama first asked about the topic of suppressing bandits in the Land of Fire.
On this point.
Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama maintained a high degree of consistency in their attitudes.
—The Lord Elder's whole family was assassinated by bandits, so we must strike hard.
Wait until the funds from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire arrive, and start action immediately.
Seeing that Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama were preparing to join hands to set up a dragnet in the Land of Fire to deal with bandits, Senju Hashirama had nothing to ask.
Since the establishment of the two major ninja villages, they have jointly executed this type of task, and executing it again is just a familiar road.
Of course, Senju Hashirama did not forget the evidence shown by the Lord Elder that day. The content inside was indeed full of doubts.
So... he wanted to take time to visit the scene again.
These words made Senju Tobirama's heart jump, and Uchiha Makoto also understood his look in seconds.
Neither of them wanted to continue tossing about the assassination of the Lord Elder.
"Lord Hashirama, I remember that the last Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails, has been captured by Lord Madara. It's time to consider how to deal with these Tailed Beasts."
"Speaking of which, it is indeed so, brother. We really should consider this matter carefully."
"We worked hard to capture the Tailed Beasts, we can't keep them in Konoha forever...."
Admittedly, this topic transition was very stiff.
However, Senju Tobirama echoed in time, so Senju Hashirama's attention was quickly and successfully diverted.
In fact, Uchiha Makoto didn't just find such a topic casually.
He had long wanted to talk to Konoha about the Tailed Beasts.
However, he hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
Now that Senju Hashirama, the Hokage, is also here, it's better to get this done quickly.
The Akatsuki Ninja Village needs Tailed Beast chakra too much!
One Two-Tails chakra is indeed barely enough now, but it will definitely be stretched in the future.
—Kitty, why are you so useless!
And from the perspective of maximizing the interests of the Akatsuki Ninja Village....
Excluding the One-Tail of the Sand Village, Konoha captured a total of eight Tailed Beasts. Uchiha Makoto actually hoped to split these Tailed Beasts equally with Konoha.
Even if he can't get them for free, the Akatsuki Ninja Village can choose to pay a high price to buy them.
However, this is difficult to achieve.
It's not that Uchiha Makoto can't afford the price of buying Tailed Beasts.
But when he proposed the plan to capture Tailed Beasts back then, the excuse he used was to treat Tailed Beasts as "nuclear bombs" deterring the ninja world, and then distribute them to major ninja villages to maintain peace in the ninja world to the greatest extent.
Senju Hashirama approved of Uchiha Makoto's theory and spent time turning the theory into reality.
Now just distribute the Tailed Beasts... It is too difficult to go back on his word now.
Moreover, the Six Kage Summit plan is a major layout for the future of the Akatsuki Ninja Village. To attract the four major ninja villages to sign the contract and implement Uchiha Makoto's plan for the ninja world, such a bait is needed.
"If you didn't mention this, I almost forgot."
"The power of Tailed Beasts... is not as strong as I imagined. Makoto, your nuclear deterrence theory may not necessarily succeed."
"But since all these Tailed Beasts have been captured, why not give them as gifts to other ninja villages. So far, Konoha has not had formal exchanges with major ninja villages outside the Land of Fire."
"I remember, Makoto, you mentioned the Six Kage Summit before... I think this is a good opportunity."
Senju Hashirama, occasionally he can come back to his senses and remember that he is still the First Hokage of Konoha.
He rarely talked about the future of Konoha seriously.
If the flames of war reignite in the ninja world, and ninjas who don't know each other kill each other on a large scale, and even ignorant children are forced to step onto the battlefield, if it really comes to this step, his life's painstaking efforts will be completely wasted.
Senju Hashirama absolutely does not want to see such a future.
So he hopes for peace in the ninja world.
Uchiha Makoto once provided Senju Hashirama with the "nuclear deterrence theory," but the power of Tailed Beasts was not as strong as recorded in the family classics, so Uchiha Makoto's nuclear deterrence theory lost its effect.
However, Uchiha Makoto also provided another method—the Six Kage Summit.
The Kages of the five major countries gather together, sign a peace agreement, and set rules for the ninja world together. When disputes arise between major ninja villages, they can sit at the negotiating table to discuss, resolve conflicts, and avoid resorting to force.
And conflicts between small ninja villages also have a place to uphold justice.
This set of plans was deeply loved by Senju Hashirama, and it simply coincided with his ninja way.
And the Tailed Beasts collected with great difficulty can't be kept in Konoha forever. It's better to give the Tailed Beasts as gifts to other ninja villages.... There are only nine Tailed Beasts in the ninja world, very rare. This should be considered a good meeting gift.
"Makoto, Tobirama, what do you think of my idea."
"For the future of the ninja world, we should invite the Kages of the other four major countries as soon as possible to hold the Six Kage Summit."
Senju Hashirama looked quite excited.
Uchiha Makoto did not object to this. Senju Hashirama's idea overlapped with his plan. Since the Akatsuki Ninja Village couldn't get half of the Tailed Beasts, going with the flow wasn't a bad thing.
But Senju Tobirama frowned. He really wanted to cast a dissenting vote.
The Six Kage Summit was proposed by Uchiha Makoto, this naturally evil Uchiha brat.
Senju Tobirama knew Uchiha Makoto's little thoughts too well.
For peace in the ninja world?
This is just his excuse!
Uchiha Makoto just wants to use this opportunity to subtly promote his set of extreme ideas throughout the ninja world!
He has been dragged into the water by Uchiha Makoto and has seen Uchiha Makoto's means. Even he would be forced by Uchiha Makoto to embark on a path of no return, let alone other ninja villages in the ninja world.
Brother, he is just too naive, his thoughts have always been protected by him.
He completely doesn't know Uchiha Makoto's sinister intentions!
This is just one of the reasons for opposition.
The key is Tailed Beasts, Tailed Beasts!!
Such powerful Tailed Beasts, given away for free?
Free!
How can this be given away for free?!
It is excusable for his brother to look down on the power of Tailed Beasts... After all, for his brother, Tailed Beasts are actually no different from ordinary pets.
But in the eyes of other ninjas, Tailed Beasts are absolutely terrifying existences at the level of natural disasters.
A Tailed Beast can easily destroy the enemy's position with a Tailed Beast Ball, instantly killing all ninjas in the position.
If such terrifying power can be fully controlled by a ninja village.
Then the arrival of any Tailed Beast on the battlefield is enough to become the key to determining the outcome of the battle.
And such powerful weapons should all be kept in Konoha as a guarantee against the invasion of the Akatsuki Ninja Village in the future.
That's right... the Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Compared to the ninja villages of the other four major countries, Senju Tobirama is more worried about the ally, the Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Uchiha Makoto has always been eyeing Konoha covetously, harboring ill intentions, and constantly mixing sand into Konoha.
When his brother is still there, and he is still there, Konoha's Will of Fire will not change color for the time being.... But what if he and his brother are gone in the future?
The ninja profession is very youthful.
Ninjas who can live to be sixty years old can be said to be few and far between.
With the current work intensity, and the working environment where he is pressured by Uchiha Makoto from time to time, Senju Tobirama doesn't know if he can live past sixty.
But one thing is certain, Uchiha Makoto is still very young!
He has enough time to wear him down...
But once it reaches the step Senju Tobirama least wants to foresee, Konoha must at least have enough power to contend with the Akatsuki Ninja Village.
—Konoha must be vigilant against the ninja villages of the other four major
