Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Jingle Bell--

Shaking the three slightly old 100-yen coins in his hand, Uchiha Gin, who was asked to leave the house by Senju Hime, sighed in annoyance.
"Alas... what a big loss."

As he spoke, there was a hint of inexplicable sighing in the lifeless Dead Fish's eyes, and it was obvious that there was another meaning in his words.

The reason why Senju Feizhen left him alone just now was not just to ask him about the debt.
He wanted more to find out the Uchiha clan's attitude towards the next leader of Konoha.

Although Uchiha Madara is only temporarily missing, the village cannot be without a leader for a day.
The current situation in the ninja world is complicated, full of variables and uncertainties. The five major ninja villages maintain peace on the surface, but there are countless cases of collusion in secret. Small moves and conflicts of interest have never stopped, not to mention the mysterious organization that specializes in hunting Tailed Beast Knights, making the whole situation even more confusing.

Konoha was the village that suffered the most in this incident. With one of its two leaders dead and one missing, it was the most vulnerable moment since the village was founded.
At times like this, someone with both strength and prestige must step forward to take charge of the situation.

The most popular candidate is Uchiha Izuna, who was recently promoted by the second generation Uchiha Madara.
If nothing unexpected happens, the position of Hokage will basically be within his grasp.

However, allowing another Uchiha to succeed as Hokage would be the last thing the Senju clan wants to see.

During the time when Uchiha Madara was in office, the branch secretary Senju Tobirama was a check and balance, which prevented the Uchiha family from dominating to the greatest extent. The Senju clan and the ninja alliance could barely accept it.
But now the Senju clan has no successor, and there is no strong person who can compete with Uchiha Izuna. Without shackles, the Uchiha clan will bring irreparable losses to the village if they do anything extreme.

Qianshou Fei is really anxious!

She couldn't just watch the village that her elder brother and she had worked so hard to build being destroyed by that idiot Uchiha Izuna.

Tell me, where did the money for building the village come from?

She deliberately made an excuse to keep Uchiha Gin, just to get some useful information from him, the Uchiha emperor, to increase her bargaining chips for the leadership election in the near future.

Who is Uchiha Gin? He is an old man who is still alive and is a thief. He saw through the clumsy tricks of Baimao on the spot.

If he had known about the 30 billion loan before, he would have told this temporary ally the truth and told her to relax. His little cousin was no longer interested in Konoha politics.

But now, the day of getting back the 3 billion loan is nowhere in sight, so he will not let this white-haired man go easily. He directly stated that the Uchiha clan must win this election and aim for the S double crown.
"Humph! How dare you take gold coins from me?"

Uchiha Gin held the three coins thrown into the air in his hands, with a sinister smile on his face.
She must be tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, and have irregular menstruation...

A week later,

The seventh day after the death of Tobirama Senju has passed, and the haze that shrouded the hearts of the residents of Konoha has dissipated a lot, and they have returned to their orderly daily lives.
However, the atmosphere within each ninja clan became increasingly tense.

The older generation of leaders of the Ninja Alliance gathered together again and started a secret meeting with the theme of rise.

More than ten people sat around a table, headed by Sasuke Sarutobi, who was nearly sixty years old.

"This is our best chance now. If we miss it, we don't know how many more years we will have to wait."

As he grew older, Sarutobi Sasuke became shorter and more hunched, but no one present dared to look down on this skinny old man.
"We are all family here, so you can feel free to speak your mind."

"Sasuke, let's be frank. My son Danzo has the potential to be Hokage. I hope you can help me. I will never treat you unfairly in the future."

As soon as Sarutobi Sasuke finished speaking, a large figure suddenly stood up, and his fat body was shaking as he spoke.
"Xianyi, have you eaten too much pig head meat?"

Looking at Shimura Kenji's passionate expression, Yama Minako, who was wearing reading glasses, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Don't you know how strong your kid is?"

"My son's butt is so big that it can support half of Konoha's sky."

"Although Danzo is an excellent child, he is a bit indecisive. Why not consider my Qufeng, who is efficient and not procrastinating?"

The chubby Akimichi Shinji raised his hand and unceremoniously recommended his own child.

“I recommend my home***”

"I……"

"..."

Since they were allowed to speak freely, the ninja leaders adhered to the principle of promoting the best regardless of kinship, strongly recommended their own children, and listed their advantages one by one for everyone to complain about.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted the noisy crowd. Sarutobi Sasuke, who had a pipe in his hand, said coldly,

"Alright! Be quiet! How can you behave like this at your age?"

"Didn't you let us speak freely?"

Shimura Kenji blinked his small green bean-like eyes and asked in confusion,

"If you keep talking like that, we won't have to hold the party now. Let's each take a little red flower and go home."

"So what do you mean, Sasuke?"

"I already have a suitable candidate in mind."

"who is it?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. You already have the right candidate, why are you asking us to hold a stupid meeting?

"My son Hiruzen, with the verbal appointment of the previous branch secretary, it is destiny that he succeeds the position of Hokage."

"Sasuke, you..."

Everyone secretly compared their own strength and methods with Sarutobi Sasuke, and finally chose to give up with regret.
"Hiruzen is indeed a boy of excellent strength and character, but Sasuke, have you ever thought about whether the Uchiha would agree?"

As the leader of the Nara clan who was one of the few participants who remained calm, he frowned, thought for a moment, and put forward a reality that everyone had to face.

"Yeah, yeah, those pinkeyes are getting more and more aggressive now."

"Uchiha Izuna is so powerful, I'm afraid we don't stand a chance at all."

When the Uchiha was mentioned, everyone's expression became a little ugly. In recent years, the overall quality of the Uchiha clan has seriously declined, and the members of the ninja clan are deeply touched.
"The Uchiha are indeed an insurmountable mountain, but we are not fighting alone this time."

As if he had expected this, Sarutobi Sasuke shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean?"

As an excellent supporting actor, Shimura Kenji played his role conscientiously and responsibly.
"Squeak-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened and a cold figure slowly walked in.

Her ruby-like eyes swept across the people with different expressions, and her rosy lips slightly opened.
"Am I late?"

Sarutobi Sasuke immediately stood up to greet him, his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum shape with a smile, just like a giant monkey.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Miss Senju Feizhen. She is here to cooperate with us on behalf of the Senju clan."

"Senju clan! Sasuke, are you telling the truth?"

"It's stable! This wave is stable!"

"Sasuke, can you contract the carving work of the Hokage Rock to me in advance? You said there will be a kickback? Yes! I will definitely satisfy you!"

"..."

Senju Feizhen looked at the ninja members who had already started to open the champagne in advance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
She has actually fallen to the point of associating with this group of peasants, which is really a disgrace to the reputation of our ancestors.

But in order to prevent Uchiha Izuna from taking power, she had no choice but to do this.

"I would like to ask Miss Feizhen, why would the Senju clan condescend to join us in this evil?"

As the leader of Nara, and as the brain of the Ninja Alliance, he must get to the bottom of all the problems.
"Although I have not been in Konoha for a long time, I have often heard your names from my father."

"hiss……"

Hearing this, everyone in the Ninja Alliance took a deep breath.
Those who are often scolded by Senju Tobirama never have a good ending. "Now that my father has died and my uncle is missing, if the Senju clan wants to continue to fight against the Uchiha clan, they must find a solid and reliable ally."

A hint of sadness flashed across Qianshou Feizhen's face.
"Then why don't you go find the Hyuga clan, but cooperate with us instead?"

As the third largest clan in Konoha, the Hyuga clan's overall strength is comparable to that of the Uchiha clan. Why did the Senju clan ignore such an excellent ally?
"Hinata..."

It's not that she didn't consider the Hyuga clan, but due to the special nature of this clan, it was not very popular among the people, and there were often rumors of peeping.

"Unfamiliar."

Of course, the main reason is that they are not familiar with each other. Senju Hime has not dealt with the Hyuga clan many times.

And for some reason, the current Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Tianliang, would turn around and run away every time he saw her, as if he had seen the plague god. Even if she had wanted to make friends with him in the past, it was of no avail.

"Besides, my father often said that his disciples were all excellent ninjas who could be of great use."

When the people of the Ninja Alliance heard this, they immediately showed a proud expression on their faces.

Especially Sarutobi Sasuke and others, they were all grateful for the decision they made to hand over their children as hostages to Senju Tobirama.

"Ms. Hime, I'll leave Hiruzen's affairs to you."

Sarutobi Sasuke rubbed his hands like a fly. Whether he could become the village chief's father depended on this wave.

"Don't worry, the Senju clan will never treat their allies unfairly."

"I can rest assured that."

"but……"

"But what? Miss Feizhen, please speak."

Seeing Senju Hime suddenly look troubled, Sarutobi Sasuke's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked,

"It's this campaign, he needs a little bit of... this."

Qianshou Feizhen raised his hand expressionlessly and made a gesture that everyone understood.
"Operation, it needs to be operated."

"call……"

Sarutobi Sasuke immediately understood and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was shocked. It turns out you want money!"

"Funds! These are called campaign funds."

"I understand, I understand. Miss Feizhen, please name a price."

After so many years of operation, the Sarutobi clan has accumulated a lot of assets in Konoha, and now they have found a place to put their talents to good use.
"Not much, not much, just transfer 10 billion as start-up capital."

"what!"

Ten billion?

Is it just start-up capital?
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Sarutobi Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Okay! The start-up funds will be delivered to your house tonight."

"Great! Chief Sarutobi is indeed a man who can do great things. Whether you can sit firmly on the position of Hokage depends on your performance."

She just asked tentatively, and as a result, 10 billion was deposited into her account just by talking.

A spur-of-the-moment idea can bring such a generous reward. Qianshou Feizhen finally experienced what it means to make money by the wind.

"In that case, I won't disturb your party. Goodbye."

Senju Hime, who had reaped a lot of rewards, suppressed the curve of his lips, said hello to the ninjas and left.

After she left, several people in the Ninja Alliance looked at each other, then stood up and left with excuses.

"Sasuke, I suddenly remembered that there's still some pork elbow stewing on the fire at home, so I'm leaving first."

"Chief Sarutobi, my grandmother is in confinement recently..."

"My mother gave birth to a child..."

"I sent my grandfather to the ninja school..."

"..."

Listening to one outrageous reason after another, Sarutobi Sasuke's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.
"These guys..."

Looking at the backs of the people going away, he curled his lips imperceptibly. How could he not know the little thoughts of these guys?
As for why it was not stopped?

This is a great opportunity to consolidate relations between allies!
If you take the money, you're on board our pirate ship. Even if you're from the Senju clan, you'll have to pay a price if you want to get off the ship.

"Come on, come on, come on..."

When there was no one around, Qianshou Feizhen immediately showed her true feelings, and walked home humming a little tune with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Feizhen, please stay!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind, and Qianshou Feizhen immediately returned to his previous coldness.
Turning her head, she saw a mountain of flesh moving at a rapid speed. It was in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"I wonder what advice Chief Shimura has for you?"

"Um... Miss Feizhen, my son Danzo is also your father's favorite disciple. I wonder if you can arrange it..."

"Ah...this..."

Looking at the sweaty Shimura Kenichi, Senju Hime looked embarrassed.

"Twenty billion! I am willing to contribute twenty billion to the campaign!"

Wiping the greasy sweat off his forehead, Shimura Kenichi fought hard for his son.
"Twenty billion!"

A golden light suddenly flashed in Qianshou Feizhen's eyes. It was such a good thing that people could give him money without any effort these days.

"But the position of Hokage has already been..."

Although she was very tempted by the green banknotes, she had already chosen the more reliable Sarutobi Hiruzen for the position of Hokage. It can only be said that Danzo was born at the wrong time.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! As long as I can get a job in Konoha's upper echelons."

Shimura Kenichi is not stupid. If he really wants to fight for the position of Hokage, he will probably be hung up by Sarutobi Sasuke and beaten like TES.

"Oh~ Leave it to me then. I heard that Konoha is planning to set up an advisory elders council..."

"please!"

After receiving the promise, Shimura Kenichi went home happily to collect money.
As soon as he took a step forward, another figure who had been waiting for a long time came up to him.

"Ms. Feizhen, please stay!"

……

As night fell, the front door of Senju Tobirama's house was bustling with people coming in one after another, and everyone who left had a smile of anticipation on their face.

Qianshou Feizhen stood in front of the pile of storage scrolls, sniffing the fragrance of money emanating from them, with a confused look in his scarlet eyes.

"It turns out... it's so easy to make money." (End of this chapter)
