Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 447 Conditions

"That kid's quick on his feet!"

In the dimly lit alternate dimension, Toshiro's clone looked at the pool of bright red blood on the ground and pouted in dissatisfaction.

I was originally planning to have a proper talk with that idiot Obito, but after he got a lesson, he just ran away.

He left his clone in the Divine Might Space.

"Since this kid likes to cause trouble, let him do it. It's only a month for the Eye of the Moon plan anyway. I'll take a look at this kid's collection... no, I should say Madara's collection!"

With his gaze fixed on a pile of miscellaneous items in the corner of the space, Toshiro didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight towards it.

……

"Tobirama, calm down!"

A hand landed on the shoulder of the livid-faced Second Generation, and the First Generation looked at Toshiro with a very sincere gaze.

"I know that Danzo has caused considerable harm to the Uchiha clan, making them less trusting of the village!"

"But, Toshiro, for the sake of the village's future, please trust us one more time, if possible!"

As he spoke, the First Generation gave a deep bow to Toshiro.

"I know that because of my initial breach of trust, all of this has happened, and you may no longer trust us. However, I sincerely hope that Toshiro can consider Konoha's feelings more!"

Because of the angle, Toshiro couldn't see the First Generation's expression, but he could hear what the other person was saying clearly.

"For the village, for the children, for everyone's future!"

Please!

"..."

A sincere tone, a humble posture, and lines full of emotion.

Standing before the First Generation Leader, Toshiro could vaguely see a righteous light emanating from him, so bright that Toshiro could barely open his eyes.

He seemed to understand why both Madara and the first leaders of each village were persuaded by the first leader and ultimately reached an agreement with him.

'Could it be that talk-no-jutsu... really exists?'

It's impossible to be under illusion magic, but the atmosphere the First Hokage is creating right now is really...

"Big brother, don't beg the evil Uchiha!"

Seeing his older brother relapse into his old habits, the Second Hokage's usually cold face was now covered in black lines. It was bad enough that he was embarrassed, but to be embarrassed in front of the Uchiha juniors was something he couldn't stand.

"But... Tobirama!"

If he could, he would like to use his fists to persuade Toshiro properly, but he couldn't. He couldn't even stand a single look from Toshiro now.

Moreover, the other party clearly did not want to agree to the Third Hokage's proposal. What else could he do but do this?

"Hmph, it's the same old trick again, the treacherous Senju!"

As for what constitutes an evil Uchiha, Izuna Uchiha disagreed, saying that the Senju were just spouting nonsense and then stabbing people in the back.

During the Warring States period, who didn't start by wielding a sword and killing people from the moment they became ninjas? What the Uchiha people disliked most about the Senju was that they talked about love and peace all the time, but when it came to killing people, they were ruthless.

Apart from Hashirama Senju, the others are not much different from them.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing!"

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Toshiro was at his wits' end.

"I still approve of the First Generation's attitude... However, I cannot accept the Third Generation's conditions. I hope the First Generation will understand!"

If he were to simply agree to the Third Hokage's conditions and the First Hokage's request, he would truly be an idiot.

Although... the First Generation's attitude was really convincing~

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

"..."

Looking at the First Generation across from him, who seemed about to cry, Toshiro's eyes twitched involuntarily.

This guy, as expected... says the most cowardly things... but fights the hardest!

"The position of Hokage must be given to us, the Uchiha. However... I can promise that, apart from the Fifth Hokage, we Uchiha will not consider the Sixth or Seventh Hokage. After that, it will all depend on our own abilities!"

"Hmph, the Uchiha actually dared to spy..."

"Tobirama, shut up!"

The Second Hokage was about to make a sarcastic remark about the Uchiha clan, who were actually eyeing the Hokage position, when his older brother turned around and glared fiercely at his younger brother.

"Hmph~"

Stared at by his older brother with a 'fierce' gaze, the second-generation leader turned around unhappily, snorted coldly, and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"First of all, regarding the position of Hokage, I initially promised Madara to succeed me, but considering various factors, I ultimately did not keep my promise. Given what happened this time, it is perfectly reasonable for Toshiro to become Hokage!"

Not only the first generation, but also the third generation and others did not express any objection to Toshiro's request. It seems that they were prepared in advance, and their previous suggestions were just a prelude.

"Secondly, all three Hokage assistants will be replaced. One of them must be decided by our Uchiha clan, and the remaining two must also be approved by us!"

The position of Hokage's assistant involves overseeing several key areas of the village, including finance, personnel, and intelligence. If someone becomes Hokage, they must have control over at least one of these areas.

Especially in personnel and finance, not to mention finding a trustworthy candidate, at the very least, it can't be someone from three generations of their family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't become a fictional Hokage.

"Is this... right...?"

The Third Hokage opened his mouth, clearly unable to accept this situation.

With the Hokage's assistance, the Hokage can be restrained to a certain extent. If a new person is chosen, and the candidate must be approved by the Uchiha clan, how can they still control the Hokage?

"There are two more points. If you can agree to these, I can pretend this never happened!"

Although they found it hard to accept seeing the Third Hokage, they didn't take any drastic actions. Toshiro didn't hold back and stated his conditions all at once.

"Tonight, half of all the ninjas from the clans that came with the Third Hokage must be transferred to mission ninja or border guard positions. Also, Kushina and her son will be moved to live in the Uchiha clan!"

When a new official takes office, how can he appease his subordinates if he doesn't have a lot of vacant positions? If he wants people to follow him, he should at least give them a permanent position, right?

Moreover, the Third Hokage and the families behind him control a large number of positions in Konoha's functional departments. Now that he has become Hokage, will these people listen to him or to their family heads, or even the Third Hokage?

As for Kushina, that was just a side effect. Kushina and her son each possessed half of the Nine-Tails. Even if he couldn't directly control them, he couldn't allow the Third Hokage to maintain his influence over them.
