Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 181 Tobirama Senju: How does Konoha compare to Akatsuki? Konoha is the best in the world! (Sad face)

"Damn it! This guy has no sportsmanship!"

"A gang fight!"

Tobirama Senju's current appearance is quite comical.

His face was even a whole size bigger than before, looking like a real pig's head.

However, Tobirama Senju's pig-like face was filled with a complex expression.

Yesterday's competition couldn't really be considered a group fight.

Tobirama Senju was, after all, an envoy from Konoha. The reason why Makoto Uchiha dared to fight him was because he was the Kage.

As ANBU ninjas, they were merely there to support Uchiha Makoto and act as cheerleaders.

That is, when Uchiha Makoto was riding on Senju Tobirama's back and punching him hard in the face, the Anbu ninjas just happened to follow up and kick Senju Tobirama a few times.

Soon, Tobirama Senju began to review yesterday's battle.

This battle should be considered the first serious confrontation between the two.

But this is not a life-or-death battle.

Therefore, neither side used their trump cards. Makoto Uchiha did not use Susanoo, and Tobirama Senju did not use any powerful forbidden techniques.

The two of them did their best to use the physical techniques, ninjutsu, and genjutsu available in that confined space.

This includes the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Although the sealing barrier of the Light and Shadow Building is designed to target ninjutsu that affects space and time, the Flying Thunder God Technique is only suppressed to be used within this building. It's like creating a prison that prevents people from entering or leaving.

Therefore, the Flying Thunder God Technique can still be used in battle.

Even if the Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed a divine skill, it cannot change the outcome of the battle.

After all, not everyone is Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze not only improved and optimized the Flying Thunder God Technique, increasing its release speed, but his combat awareness, combat analysis ability, and reaction speed were also top-tier in the ninja world. He could seize the slightest opportunity to use the Rasengan to rush in.

But Tobirama Senju... his movements were too slow!
Makoto Uchiha's Sharingan saw through all of Tobirama Senju's moves, suppressing Tobirama's actions throughout.

Even the Flying Thunder God Technique sneak attack was easily dodged by Uchiha Makoto.

Ultimately, Tobirama Senju was pulled into close combat by Makoto Uchiha.

After nearly a hundred moves, Tobirama Senju's hands became weak and his breathing became uncontrollably erratic and heavy. In a moment of panting, the two locked eyes.

This is a major taboo when fighting against the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Seiichi used a genjutsu, and his powerful eye power instantly interfered with Senju Tobirama's chakra, causing him to lose his senses.

Although Tobirama Senju reacted quickly, he regained consciousness in almost two or three seconds.

However, the two were too close together.

When Tobirama Senju came to his senses...

Uchiha Makoto was already on top of him, his fists already attacking Senju Tobirama's face. The Akatsuki ANBU ninjas seized the opportunity and swarmed forward to punch and kick Senju Tobirama.

"Ouch, that hurts, you bastard."

"Although it's not a life-or-death duel, and I've been hiding quite a few powerful forbidden techniques, Uchiha Makoto is in the same boat."

"I was completely dominated throughout the entire match, even though it wasn't a fight to the death!"

"It seems I am no longer a match for Uchiha Makoto."

Tobirama Senju was not someone who couldn't accept defeat.

If you lose, you lose.

Yesterday's encounter was enough to raise his expectations of Uchiha Makoto's strength to an unprecedented level.

With an exceptionally large amount of chakra and powerful eye power, Uchiha Makoto must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

His reaction speed, speed, strength, and martial arts skills are all impeccable.

A true all-rounder.

under normal circumstances.

Tobirama Senju felt that if he wanted to defeat Makoto Uchiha, he could only do what he did when he defeated Izuna Uchiha: use the information gap and perform a forbidden technique like the Flying Thunder God Technique, which had never been seen before.

"The research on those techniques needs to be accelerated."

"Otherwise, it would be troublesome if we really ended up fighting Uchiha Makoto on the battlefield!"

Such a huge difference in strength made Tobirama Senju very worried—there's no reason why Makoto Uchiha would be this strong!
Becoming a Shadow is definitely a tough job. Various complicated matters will inevitably take up most of a Shadow's time, including a lot of training time.

It's inevitable that one's strength will increase slowly, and it wouldn't be surprising if one's strength even regresses.

Tobirama Senju deeply understood this point.

His body was aging, and his bodily functions were declining.

Moreover, due to being buried in work for many years and neglecting to practice, it is already quite an achievement to maintain the current level of strength.

Therefore, Tobirama Senju focused more of his energy on ninjutsu research.

Powerful forbidden techniques can effectively compensate for the loss of combat strength due to insufficient training time.

But Uchiha Makoto is quite strange.

Before he left the Uchiha clan, Tobirama Senju had never heard of Makoto Uchiha, so his strength must have been quite ordinary (Jonin are just low-level characters).

But now
Makoto Uchiha is not the same person he used to be!

"Why is it that Uchiha Makoto, who spends all his time working in the office and doesn't train, can still make such rapid and continuous progress in strength?!"

"And he even punched me in the face!"

"Those ANBU ninjas from Akatsuki Village are all bastards. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly."

Tobirama Senju started muttering to himself again.

Just now.

Makoto Uchiha led his men to the doghouse where Tobirama Senju was, and confronted the resentful Tobirama Senju head-on.

Tobirama, I've come to see you!

"Uchiha Makoto, you born evil Uchiha brat, how dare you come before me!"

"Hmph, why wouldn't I dare? You deserved it yesterday, who told you to kick my door? Now several rooms on my entire office floor have been damaged. You have to compensate me for that, deduct it from the cannery's profits this year!"

"Damn it, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

Tobirama Senju's swollen pig-like head suddenly glared angrily.

Not only did he get beaten up by Uchiha Makoto, but now he also has to pay compensation?
Is this justified?

Is there any law?
However, Tobirama Senju's current pig-like face and the way he shook his head and swaggered when threatening others made him look even more ridiculous, causing Makoto Uchiha to curl up his lips and reveal a mocking smile, even letting out a soft hum.

Tobirama Senju, on the other hand, became even angrier.

Uchiha Makoto immediately took a step back; he didn't want to fight anymore—what was the point of this kind of battle?
"Don't worry, Tobirama, I've brought you a medical ninja."

"The people from Kirigakure and Iwagakure will be coming to Akatsuki tomorrow. How will you face anyone looking like that?"

"At least you still have a shred of conscience!"

Hearing this, Tobirama Senju, though indignant, lowered his hand that was preparing to form hand seals.

The medical ninja following behind Uchiha Makoto walked up to Senju Tobirama and used medical ninjutsu to reduce inflammation and swelling on Tobirama's face.

After more than half an hour of treatment.

Tobirama Senju's swollen face has almost fully recovered, and the medical ninja has applied a special ointment to his face. Tobirama Senju's facial injuries should be completely healed by tomorrow.

Then, Uchiha Makoto waved for the bystanders to leave and sat down facing Senju Tobirama.

"Let's talk business."

"The people from Kirigakure and Iwagakure are coming tomorrow. Although we have communicated with them several times, we still need to confirm some details to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Let's get down to business!"

The two quickly got into work mode.

They chatted until the afternoon before Uchiha Makoto finally stood up and said goodbye to Senju Tobirama.

"That's all for today!"

"I'll head back now. See you tomorrow."

The two of them, as always, gave each other the middle finger in perfect unison.

the next day.

Uchiha Makoto emerged from his large villa, wearing a divine robe and accompanied by Senju Tobirama, and arrived at the main gate of Akatsuki Village.

Didn't have to wait long.

The Iwagakure forces appeared in Uchiha Makoto's line of sight.

During a brief welcoming ceremony.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries.

"Tsuchikage, it's been a long time!"

"Guangying, you are indeed a man of great talent; truly a promising young man!"

The First Tsuchikage and Makoto Uchiha had met before, and upon their reunion, they acted like old friends.

As for the true relationship between the two, the refined and easy-going Uchiha Makoto really wanted to send him a dirt plane in the middle of the night.

Subsequently.

Uchiha Makoto then had Senju Tobirama send the Iwagakure troops into the Akatsuki's Six Kage Building.

The Six Shadows Building is located in the core area of ​​Akatsuki Village.

To enter the core area, one inevitably has to pass through some of the most bustling streets in Akatsuki Village.

Then the worldview of the First Tsuchikage began to crumble to some extent.

"This...this is Akatsuki Village."

"incredible."

The First Tsuchikage knew that Akatsuki was probably stronger than Iwagakure.

But no matter what.

Akatsuki Village also experienced a very large-scale war.

The Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses, but how much better off could the Hidden Akatsuki Village be?

The Hidden Cloud Village was fighting on its own territory, while the Akatsuki Village was on a long and arduous expedition, pulling a huge logistical line while fighting against the Hidden Cloud Village.

The explosive tag tactic was once famous.

Once the detonation tag goes off, it's like a fortune in gold!
To maintain the morale of the ninjas, Akatsuki Village's logistics were extremely extravagant.

Ice cream is available anytime in the summer; they really treat these ninjas like young masters from a powerful family.

Fighting like this will definitely squander all the wealth that Akatsuki has accumulated over the past few years.

Moreover, the number of Akatsuki ninjas killed or wounded must have been in the hundreds, or even close to a thousand. The subsequent compensation, pensions, various rewards, and the expenses for retraining ninjas would not be a small amount.

The Hidden Cloud Village did indeed pay the Akatsuki Village a staggering 20 billion ryo in compensation, but that was paid in installments!
This money is far from enough to quench the immediate thirst of the Akatsuki Village, which has squandered its entire fortune.

According to the First Tsuchikage, the Akatsuki Village must be in a rather bleak state, and it would take a year or two to recover and restore it to its former glory.

But he never expected that the Akatsuki Village would present itself in this way.

Is this a ninja village?

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was the capital of a country!
Everyone's villages were established around the same time, and the Land of Earth is one of the five great nations of the ninja world.

How did your Akatsuki village manage to fight such a large-scale war and still develop to this extent?!
"Hmph, I feel a little better now."

Tobirama Senju, who was leading the way, kept a close eye on the First Tsuchikage's expression.

Obviously.

He was satisfied with the First Tsuchikage's reaction.

The speed at which Akatsuki Village's economy has developed is so fast that it can only be described as a miracle.

Konoha and Akatsuki are in the same country, so they are relatively well-informed. Even Tobirama Senju was dumbfounded when he first came to Akatsuki. Iwagakure is several countries away from Akatsuki. First Tsuchikage, you'll have to experience this kind of feeling too!

"Please excuse my poor appearance."

"Your Konoha is probably more prosperous than Akatsuki Village."

He noticed Tobirama Senju's gaze.

The First Tsuchikage's expression immediately became somewhat embarrassed.

The look of shock on his face when he looked at the bustling streets just now was just like when he was a child entering the capital of the Earth Kingdom for the first time, looking like he had never seen the world before.

This is so embarrassing!
Konoha is a village that is even more powerful and prosperous than Akatsuki!

So he could only smile awkwardly and say to Tobirama Senju.

"Cough cough cough...that...that's for sure!"

"Let's go, we'll be at the negotiation venue soon!"

Tobirama Senju felt a pang of sadness.

Fortunately, he maintained a serious, deadpan expression, revealing no flaws, and quickly changed the subject.

"The next village to experience an economic boom will be Konoha!"

"Sooner or later, Konoha will surpass Akatsuki!"

"I'd rather be called a plagiarist than not!"

Tobirama Senju, walking at the very front of the group, secretly made a vow.

Almost simultaneously.

The people from Kirigakure also appeared.

After a similarly brief exchange of pleasantries.

Makoto Uchiha led the First Mizukage into Akatsuki Village and arrived at the Six Kage Building.

Inside the venue.

The various factions, large and small, from all sides of the ninja world, sat scattered in chairs according to their closeness to each other, whispering among themselves about the negotiations between Kirigakure and Iwagakure that day.

The First Mizukage, who entered the venue with Uchiha Makoto, was now somewhat disoriented.

The prosperity of Akatsuki Village was unbelievable to him.

Konoha is considered one of the most advanced ninja villages in the entire ninja world, but its economic development is still far behind Akatsuki, not to mention Kirigakure.

The situation in the meeting room was equally baffling.

Instead of answering directly, Makoto Uchiha scanned the crowd in front of him with his eyes.

In Makoto Uchiha's design, the six ninja villages of the five great nations would hold regular Six Kage Summits to determine the direction of the ninja world's development, while the other ninja forces in the ninja world would be the participants.

The ninja forces present at this event.
After receiving word from Uchiha Makoto, they immediately rushed over to listen to the negotiations.

Both Kirigakure and Iwagakure are among the most powerful ninja villages in the ninja world, and this negotiation will largely determine the future situation of the ninja world. After all, if they fail to reach an agreement, it could very well escalate into a war!

for them.

If we can seize this opportunity to learn about the attitudes of Kirigakure and Iwagakure in advance, thereby predicting the future situation of the ninja world and making some preparations in advance, it would definitely be something to applaud.

"Not bad. Quite a few people have come."

"When the Akatsuki are full of people, they'll be able to command a huge following!"

Uchiha Sei looked at the various forces from the ninja world gathered in the venue and a smile appeared on his face.
