Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 82 This is a clause of defeat, sign it quickly, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

"When did this happen?"

Senju Hashirama frowned, and a rare expression of serious thought appeared on his face.

This kind of thing was actually very common in the Warring States Period. Conflicts were inevitable among the various ninja clans while they were performing their tasks. Once bloodshed occurred, it would easily cause friction between the ninja clans. If not handled properly, a ninja war would likely break out.

The principle is the same.

The only difference is that now the ninja clan has been replaced by ninja village.

If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely to evolve into a war between ninja villages. The hatred and bloodshed that had originally subsided will come back again and continue endlessly, and eventually repeat the same mistakes as their ancestors.

Such a thing, Senju Hashirama absolutely does not want to see. How good is Konoha now! The period just after the end of the Warring States Period is undoubtedly the most peaceful. These ninjas who survived the chaos of the ninja clans are enjoying a rare peaceful time. No one can destroy this precious peace!

"Just a week ago, the team members who participated in the mission returned to Konoha yesterday."

After hearing this, Tobirama Senju looked at Hashirama Senju and opened his mouth to answer.

"First, settle the deceased Chunin's family. Then, immediately send someone to negotiate with the Hidden Cloud Village to find out the whole story and the truth. Finally, discuss compensation. Don't escalate the matter."

Hashirama Senju pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, basically setting the tone for the matter. It must be handled in a low-key manner and its influence must not be expanded. Konoha can pay a little more compensation to the Chunin family out of its own pocket, and external negotiations with the Hidden Cloud Village must be restrained and handled peacefully as much as possible.

Of course, Konoha needs to save both substance and face, but it also needs to consider the attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village and cannot allow unnecessary misunderstandings between the two sides. Therefore, it must find a way to come up with a plan that will make both Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village look decent.

of course
How to deal with this specifically is something that Senju Tobirama needs to consider.

"I see, brother."

Senju Tobirama nodded. At the moment, he actually thought so too.

The precious peace is hard-won, and there is no need to trigger a large-scale armed conflict over an ordinary mission conflict.

And it was just for a Chunin.

The most important thing now is to focus on the development of the village. Since the eldest brother also thinks so, he just needs to handle this matter properly according to the eldest brother's wishes.

"It's just that two Chunin died in Akatsuki Village this time. It's easy to deal with Konoha, but the problem in Akatsuki Village is..."

Senju Tobirama mentioned the Akatsuki Village in this conflict. The two brothers can decide Konoha's attitude but cannot decide the attitude of the Akatsuki Village. If they want to resolve this matter perfectly, they must inform the Akatsuki Village in advance.

"This is easy!"

"Uchiha Makoto is a member of the Uchiha clan. You can go back and find Madara to discuss this matter with him. You can let the Uchiha clan convey Konoha's attitude to the Akatsuki Village."

"Me? I'm going to find Madara?"

Senju Tobirama's eyes widened instantly.

He now felt that his elder brother was really deliberately messing with his mentality.

Although Senju Tobirama did feel that Uchiha Madara was unlikely to attack him now, he did not dare to gamble. In any case, he would never appear in the same room with Uchiha Madara alone. Li Jing also did not dare to stay with his son Nezha without the tower!

"Tobirama, you're still the same as always. You don't trust Madara at all. I'll tell you about this when I go to dinner with Madara later."

There was helplessness in Hashirama Senju's tone. His younger brother still didn't believe Madara like before. So he could only talk about this matter when he went to have dinner with Madara later.

"have dinner?"

"And Madara again?"

"What about me? What about me?"

Uzumaki Mito was listening to what Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were saying, and then her attention was immediately focused on the issue of dinner. Hashirama, you blockhead, why don’t you care whether I have had dinner or not?
"Mito, why are you staring at me?"

Hashirama Senju noticed Uzumaki Mito's gaze. Even Tobirama Senju noticed Uzumaki Mito's resentful look, but Hashirama Senju did not realize what he had done wrong.

"Brother, sister-in-law hasn't had dinner yet."

"How about you two go have dinner together first?"

Senju Tobirama was very considerate and assisted his elder brother from the side. Such a good family cannot be broken up by his elder brother. As the younger brother, he absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch this matter!

"Mito, you didn't have dinner either?"

"Ah."

Senju Hashirama looked as if he had suddenly understood something, and Uzumaki Mito nodded with a look of relief. Hashirama, this blockhead, was not that stupid. Although this was due to Tobirama's reminder, he still thought of me.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

"Mito, you haven't made dinner yet. If you calculate the time, Madara should have almost finished making dinner by now. We can go together."

The fire of anticipation that had just risen in Uzumaki Mito was immediately extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"Hashirama, you wooden bastard!"

"You and I are going to Uchiha Madara's house to eat. Don't we have a home?!"

"besides!"

"I'll go with you to find Uchiha Madara!"

"What am I going to do?"

"Will you let me be a light bulb?"

"You'll never get wise in your life!"

Uzumaki Mito was filled with resentment, but due to her upbringing in a large family, she did not show it. She said coldly, "No, I'm not hungry now. I still need to continue processing some documents that Tobirama gave me."

Senju Tobirama lowered his head with great difficulty. He had already hinted at this point.

Brother, he still hasn't figured it out?
If he hadn't been extremely familiar with his eldest brother's personality, Senju Tobirama would have even suspected that his eldest brother had done this on purpose. "Just wait, there's another piece of shit added to the feud between us. This is my sister-in-law's share!"

"Oh, well, that's a shame."

"Don't let Madara's cold demeanor fool you, he's an excellent cook. I heard he even went to learn how to cook." Hashirama Senju said with a hint of regret, which only fueled Mito Uzumaki's displeasure. Tobirama Senju, upon hearing this, lowered his head even further. He was terrified that his sister-in-law might suddenly lose her temper and use the Adamantine Chains to hang his brother up and beat him, splattering him with blood. However, if Mito ever did such a thing, Tobirama would definitely be there to support her and cheer her on!
"If Mito isn't going, will you, Tobirama?"

Senju Hashirama felt that now that the topic had come to this, it was time to talk about it.

then
Out of a simple love for his younger brother, he also extended an invitation to Tobirama Senju, and this also helped to resolve the conflicts and misunderstandings between Tobirama and Madara.

"I'm not going, brother, go by yourself."

Senju Tobirama was so speechless that his head was almost pressed against the table. He directly and decisively rejected this matter. He would rather starve to death outside than eat a single bite of food cooked by Uchiha Madara!

"OK then."

Senju Hashirama walked out of the office door with great regret, and then walked towards the Uchiha clan's territory with a cheerful pace.

After Hashirama Senju left.

Senju Tobirama felt that the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward. To ease the awkwardness, he could only speak up and say, "Sister-in-law, I've really wronged you during this period. You know, I've always stood firmly by your side! Big brother is just bewitched by Uchiha Madara. One day he will change his mind!"

"Ugh"

Mito Uzumaki sighed deeply, said nothing more, and left with a stack of documents.

The night passed quietly.

[The Akatsuki Village, under the orders of Lord Light and Shadow, officially issues a statement regarding the unauthorized terrorist attack by the Kumogakure Village, affiliated with the Land of Lightning, against the Akatsuki Village and Konoha's ninja team, resulting in the deaths of three personnel. This gravely violates the humanitarian spirit of the ninja world and poses a serious threat to the peace and security of the Akatsuki Village.]

"For the sake of the future of the ninja world and to inject a shot of adrenaline into the peace of the ninja world, Master Light and Shadow hereby issues a serious warning. The Hidden Cloud Village must bear full responsibility for this. The relevant departments of the Hidden Cloud Village must pay compensation of 30 million ryo for each death and 5 million ryo for each injury. The culprit must be sent to the Akatsuki Village for trial. The Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village must personally appear before the dead and injured to offer condolences and confess his guilt."

"The Akatsuki Village reserves all means to pursue justice and peace. The Hidden Cloud Village asks you to act swiftly and not take our word for it!"

The Akatsuki Village moved extremely quickly.

Before Konoha took any action, it had already used the resources at hand to make an announcement throughout the ninja world.

Although Uchiha Makoto has already informed the senior leaders of Akatsuki Village that he intends to use this excuse to launch a war against Kumogakure Village, such an act of fighting without declaration is ultimately untenable and it will be difficult to gain support from Konoha. He must first conduct public opinion propaganda, occupy the moral high ground, and immediately propose compensation measures.

However, this compensation measure is extremely harsh, and not only does it require sky-high compensation, each family of the dead Chunin can get 30 million taels of compensation, and the injured may get 5 million taels of compensation. That means everyone is definitely injured!

Besides.

All members of the Hidden Cloud Village who participated in this operation will be dragged to the Akatsuki Village for public sentencing and execution, and the Raikage will also need to come to the Akatsuki Village to confess and apologize to the dead Chunin. This is tantamount to directly giving the Hidden Cloud Village two punches in the face, and then stomping on the ground twice.

The Akatsuki Village has already provided a way to resolve the conflict. Uchiha Makoto really wants to resolve this matter, but he doesn't know whether those dark-skinned men in the Hidden Cloud Village who like to train their muscles are willing to admit their mistakes.

If you don’t want to, you can’t blame yourself!

at the same time.

Uchiha Makoto has also been constantly promoting the justice and necessity of Akatsuki Village's actions this time. He wrote several short essays and spent a huge amount of money on publicity on his own propaganda platform. Now this matter has become known to everyone in Akatsuki Village, and it is estimated that Konoha will be the same soon. It is only a matter of time before it spreads to the whole world.

The Rise of the Ninja Village and the Dignity of Ninja!

"Cultural inside, barbaric outside!"

The Importance of Wolf Warrior Spirit to Ninja Village!

These short essays are full of inflammatory language, which can easily stir up the emotions of grassroots ninjas.

Why do you want to join the Ninja Village?

Isn't it just that they hope that the ninja village they join can protect them at critical moments, regardless of right or wrong, but only based on their stance.

Even if they die, I will avenge them.

For grassroots ninjas.

They were able to put themselves in the shoes of the dead Chunin, because Jonin was still a minority after all, and most of them were Chunin, or even just Genin.

What is their purpose in becoming a ninja? To pursue their own way of ninja? To maintain peace in the ninja world? Perhaps it is just a helpless job, a man's persistence, relying on his own blood, sweat and strength to earn more money for his family.

If they fall, a family will probably end. If they have a family, they can still rely on it to support themselves. If they don’t have a family, they can only leave it to fate.

These people, who make up the vast majority of the middle and lower ninjas, imagine that at the end of their lives, they will probably die inexplicably in a mission conflict.

Now they are lucky!
The great Lord of Light and Shadow stood up and injected a ray of light into their lives. Uchiha Makoto implemented their inner thoughts and was extremely domineering. He did not give the other big ninja village any face at all, and proved with his own actions that Akatsuki Village is the most powerful umbrella behind you.

Do you still oppose such a loyal and righteous boss?

Are you still human?
Unknowingly.

Uchiha Cheng's prestige within the Akatsuki Village soared again. The constant reminders from the system in his ears made him sigh, "No wonder the old immortal Modi likes to use this trick. The effect is really remarkable. It's a pity that he can only talk and can't win the battle."

Now they have cohesion and prestige, but it is not enough. They still lack the most important thing, which is hatred for the Hidden Cloud Village. Therefore, Uchiha Makoto was very thoughtful and held a grand memorial event for the dead Chunin, which attracted most of the ninjas in the Akatsuki Village to participate in the memorial event.

Seeing the dead Chunin's family crying bitterly, everyone present had a sad look on their faces, and their hatred towards the Hidden Cloud Village rose rapidly. It seemed as if they would declare an all-out war with the Hidden Cloud Village if the Hidden Cloud Village did not agree to all the conditions.

"Damn it, these beasts from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

"They really treat our Akatsuki Village like a soft persimmon. We must demand justice!"

"What? Not paying the compensation as Master Guangying said?"

"Then what else is there to say? Let's just start the fight!!"

Even some people who disagreed with the war against the Hidden Cloud Village at the Akatsuki Village high-level meeting began to change their minds and felt that it was necessary to fight this war. Of course, more people thought that Lord Light and Shadow was so scary. Now the Akatsuki Village has been tied together by Uchiha Makoto, and his will is the will of the Akatsuki Village. Anyone who dares to oppose it will surely end up in an extremely miserable situation.

After Uchiha Makoto finished everything, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. All that was left was to prepare for war. The prototype of the wartime supply chain system that he had spent so much money to build could be further improved during this war launched by the Akatsuki Village against the Hidden Cloud Village. The detonating talismans that the detonating talismans workers had been continuously producing and piling up finally found their place of use.

"Hidden Cloud Village, what is your attitude?"

"And Konoha, how are you going to handle this?"
