Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 446 Negotiation

"Kushina, do you have any ideas?"

Left with no other choice, the Third Hokage turned his attention to Kushina; if it were her, there might still be some hope.

"...The First, Second, and Toshiro are all too familiar with the Uzumaki clan's secret techniques; it's unlikely they'll be effective!"

What good ideas could she possibly have? These people knew her tricks inside and out, even if they didn't say anything.

The information had already been leaked before the battle even started, and Kurama wasn't particularly cooperative, so there was nothing she could do!

On the other side, Toshiro was being pulled along by his grandmother.

"Who has been taking care of Toshiro all these years?"

It's so pitiful that her son passed away before her grandson was even born; he must have suffered a lot as a child.

That wasn't the end of it. At first, they were just showing concern and asking about each other's well-being, but gradually their tone changed.

How old are you this year?

How old is the child?

"What... you're not married yet?"

"Is there no one in the clan who is a suitable candidate?"

Listening to his 'grandmother' nagging, Toshiro couldn't help but wonder, could the end of the universe be the pressure to get married?

I'm only 23 years old this year, isn't it normal not to be married yet? And I'm already being pressured to get married!

"Um... excuse me!"

Just as Toshiro was getting a headache from his grandmother's constant nagging about needing to settle down and start a family soon, otherwise he might get to see his great-grandchildren, a voice interrupted Toshiro's 'caring'!

"Toshiro, may I call you that?"

As if bearing an immense weight, the First Generation 'moved' step by step to Toshiro's side and asked.

"It's the first one!"

Upon seeing the former Hokage, Zhili still greeted him politely.

Although she quelled the Uchiha rebellion back then with the help of Izanami, the clan's strength plummeted, and they were almost wiped out.

While there were reasons such as the early establishment of Konoha, the role of the First Hokage cannot be ignored.

"Ah! It's governance!"

Suddenly, the First Generation felt the binding force on his body loosen, and then he became lively and his tone of voice became unusually familiar.

"I never imagined we'd meet again under these circumstances!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"We also owe a great deal to your brother's care; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

Having already learned from Toshiro what happened after his death and the main reason for this incident, Zhili gave a vague and ambiguous reply.

"Hahaha!"

Scratching his head, the First Generation Leader was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, neither his own brother nor Monkey and the others had acted in a very honest way, and he really couldn't go against his conscience and speak up for them.

"Um... I wonder how Toshiro plans to end this?"

Although he felt a little embarrassed, this matter concerned the future of Konoha, and he still wanted to see what Toshiro was planning.

If things don't go as planned... he'll have to beg Toshiro to give up that terrible idea.

"Any plans?"

Tōshirō glanced at his clansmen on the other side, as well as the Third Hokage and others in the distance, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

……

"Tsk! Is this the Third Hokage's plan?"

At the entrance of the Uchiha compound, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Kushina, along with Shikaku and the others, arrived before Toshiro.

On the Uchiha side, Toshiro, Homura, Elder Hideya, and Fugaku stood on the opposite side.

Meanwhile, the First Generation, the Second Generation, Izuna, and Osamu stood aside, watching them negotiate.

"The Third Hokage abdicated, Tsunade succeeded him as the Fifth Hokage, all the blame was placed on Danzo, and then everything went back to normal?"

With a cold laugh, Toshiro glanced at Shikaku behind the Third Hokage and the others.

"You don't think you can make it seem like this never happened, do you? Or are you planning to use this as a pretext to test our limits?"

"If Toshiro is interested in the Hokage position, the Sixth Hokage will be the Uchiha after Tsunade retires!"

Seemingly worried that Toshiro wouldn't believe him, the Third Hokage continued:

"Rest assured, with the First and Second Hokage here as witnesses, Tsunade and I will absolutely keep our promise!"

"The guarantees from the first and second Hokage?" With a sneer, Toshiro silenced the Third Hokage with a single sentence: "Didn't the first Hokage go back on his word back then? What use is his testimony?"

Originally, when the two sides fought, the Senju had an absolute advantage, which was nothing special. The two sides have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and this kind of thing has happened many times. At worst, they can just relocate and avoid each other's sharp edge.

But you two are going to work together to build Konoha.

That's one thing, but to appease the Uchiha, they said Madara would be their leader, only to go back on their word later. Isn't that just deceiving them?

It's like two people going into business together. First, you say that Uchiha will be the chairman, but then you find a few minority shareholders and hold a democratic election. Of course, those minority shareholders you found will elect you as the chairman.

This incident caused Madara's reputation among the Uchiha to plummet. Although everyone was unhappy about losing the war against the Senju, there was nothing they could do; they had lost, and that was that—they couldn't win.

But you and Senju established Konoha together, and it was agreed that the Uchiha would be the leader, but you, Madara, failed again and were completely fooled.

This also meant that when Madara later left Konoha, he was all alone.

There's nothing I can do; my reputation has plummeted too much.

The most outrageous thing is that after Madara left, you actually teamed up with a few minority shareholders to kick the Uchiha out of the board of directors. Who can stand that?

"Hmph, that's a democratic election!" A cold snort rang out, and the Second Hokage immediately began to mock, "It's because Madara was unpopular that he didn't become the First Hokage!"

"Oh! So... was the second generation elected democratically?" He was never afraid to spout nonsense: "Even if the second generation was elected, what about the third generation? I remember the third generation was just a young man back then; there was no democratic election at all. The second generation simply appointed him, right?"

"you…"

The second-generation leader was choked by this remark, and his already somewhat cold face turned as if it were frozen solid.

For so many years, since his elder brother passed away, no one has spoken to him like this.

brush!

With a flick of the finger.

"Hmm~"

"Despicable, how could they..."

The Second Hokage was furious that Toshiro was controlling his body again.

"Despicable? You just learned that from the second generation. And are you planning to make a move?"

Seeing the furious Second Generation, Toshiro showed him no respect whatsoever.

"Ha! Tobirama Senju, you've finally met your match!"

Upon seeing this, Izuna's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
