Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

The next day, as dawn broke.

The gates of the capital city of the Land of Fire slowly opened, and Uchiha Rin, travel-worn, strode into the city, his eyes sparkling with excitement despite his weariness.

In a day and a night, she traveled almost half of the Land of Fire.

Hyuga, Hatake, Aburame, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi... more than a dozen ninja clans, large and small, all agreed to join Konoha Village under the coercion and enticement of the powerful and influential.

"Leverage the momentum and build it bigger and bigger," Rin muttered to himself, a victor's smile spreading across his lips.

Following Uchiha Tsuki's ideas and intentions, she skillfully used the hypothetical fact that "two powerful figures voluntarily defected to Konoha," along with the signed document from the Hyuga clan, to turn the false into the true.

Based on this, the snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger, and the closer it gets to the end, the easier it is for each ninja clan to "sign and seal" their agreement.

However, problems did arise.

Many ninja clans with deep-seated hatred for the Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga clans remain stubbornly defiant.

Under pressure, they began to band together for mutual support, following the example of Uchiha Tsuki, and contacted countries that had a long-standing feud with the Land of Fire, also planning to establish a ninja village.

Rin quickened her pace and ran wildly into the city.

She had to deliver both the good and bad news to Yue before the second round of negotiations began at noon.

……

"moon!"

Uchiha Yue turned his head and saw the undisguised smugness on his lover's face; he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Looks like it went smoothly?"

"It's more than just smooth sailing!" Uchiha Rin strode forward, handing over a stack of documents. "Take a look for yourself."

Uchiha Yue picked up the top scroll, which was a signed document from the Hyuga clan.

Next came Hatake, Aburame, Inuzuka... His lips slowly curled up, eventually turning into a big smile.

"Rin, my wise and capable wife!" Uchiha Tsuki put down the documents, turned around, and embraced his lover tightly. "Now everything is settled, the great undertaking is about to succeed!"

"Of course," Rin Uchiha chuckled softly in his arms. "I've watched you grow up since you were little, how could you be anything less than excellent?"

"That sounds so familiar," Uchiha Yue released her, shaking her head with a smile. "Isn't it all backwards?"

"Never mind that!" Rin said smugly, raising her chin. "So, are these enough as bargaining chips?"

"Enough, more than enough." Uchiha Yue's eyes gleamed. "With all this, whether today's negotiations succeed or fail will have no impact on us whatsoever."

"Oh, right, there's also bad news."

Before Uchiha Rin could answer, Uchiha Tsuki interrupted, "Many ninja clans are dissatisfied, so they've banded together for mutual support, and even started establishing ninja villages like us?"

"Yes, that's it." Rin Uchiha left her lover's embrace, her face tense. "We have to speed things up. Once they gain momentum, the Central Plains could very well be divided up."

"It definitely needs to be done faster."

Uchiha Tsuki took a deep breath and looked at Rin solemnly, "There's no need to worry too much. The Central Plains can only belong to us."

"Hurry up and prepare for the negotiations. Try to capture Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, and make them acknowledge you as their leader!"

With a slight blush, she urged, "I can't wait to see you subdue both of them."

"The tide is in my hands. As long as I don't make a move, even if they all gang up on me, they're no match for me," Uchiha Yue said confidently.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. "How about... you come with me?"

"Me?" Rin was taken aback. "I can't help with negotiations, can I?"

"Who said that?" Uchiha Yue took her hand. "You are the biggest contributor to this diplomatic lobbying effort, and you are rightfully sitting at the negotiating table."

Rin Uchiha's eyes lit up. "Alright!"

……

At noon, the second round of negotiations began on time.

Uchiha Yue and Uchiha Rin walked into the negotiation room side by side, their aura even stronger than yesterday.

Tobirama Senju noticed Rin Uchiha immediately, his brows furrowing slightly.

Madara Uchiha merely glanced at it coldly before turning his gaze away indifferently.

Hashirama Senju was as friendly as ever, and even nodded to Rin.

"Tsuki-kun, Rin-san," he spoke first, "shall we continue our conversation from yesterday?"

"Of course." Uchiha Tsuki sat down in the main seat, while Uchiha Rin sat to his right.

"I'm sure Tobirama-kun has already told you about the three points from yesterday, so let's discuss them again today." He got straight to the point. "However, those were yesterday's three points, and I have some new ideas for today."

Tobirama Senju's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened. "We haven't settled things from yesterday, and you want to raise the stakes?"

"That's how negotiations are. You want it." Uchiha Tsuki leaned forward slightly. "After thinking about it all night, I feel that three points alone are not enough."

To ensure the long-term peace and stability of Konoha, we need a more comprehensive system.

He paused, then held up one finger.

"First, I will designate the successor to the leadership of Konoha, rather than electing him."

"Secondly, the highest decision-making body of Konoha will be composed of core members appointed by me, and there will be no voting system."

"Third, the military forces of Konoha will be under my direct command, and no other family has the right to interfere, nor can they interfere."

"Fourth, I will also be in charge of the distribution of Konoha Village's finances."

"Fifth, the education system that will be established in Konoha Village must also be managed by personnel personally appointed by me, with me taking the lead."

"Sixth, and most importantly," Uchiha Tsuki said, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, "I will also directly control the right to negotiate with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

If these six points are agreed upon, Uchiha Yue will be in charge of everything, including the military, politics, finance, education, and diplomacy.

What's the difference between this and a dictatorship?

Tobirama Senju's face darkened further, and Hashirama Senju's expression was also somewhat intriguing, while Madara Uchiha showed little reaction.

Madara Uchiha thought this was reasonable: the strong should be controlled, and the weak should be managed like sheep, so that they could enjoy a better peace.

His view on peace is typical of the shepherd and the flock theory.

I take responsibility for everything externally, but internally, the only requirement is obedience, obedience, and fucking obedience!

boom!

Tobirama Senju finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Uchiha Tsukuyomi!" He stood up abruptly, his face ashen. "This isn't negotiation! You're clearly trying to make everyone acknowledge you as king and support your dictatorial rule!"

"Dictatorship?" Uchiha Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "Tobirama-kun, you're exaggerating."

"Special measures are needed in special times. I am establishing a stable order. Reforms can wait until world peace is achieved."

"Order? Don't try to deny it!" Tobirama Senju said coldly. "Your ambitions are too great. The ninja world will only head towards dictatorship and destruction in your hands!"

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "If this is your sincerity, then I don't think there's any need to continue the negotiations."

"What Tobirama-kun means is..." Uchiha Tsuki smirked, "...to part ways and go their separate ways?"

"Of course!" Tobirama Senju said, enunciating each word clearly. "Dictatorship is not peace; you've gone down the wrong path!"

"Oh?" Uchiha Tsuki smiled, a playful smile. "Is that what Tobirama-kun thinks?"

"Otherwise what?" Tobirama Senju retorted.

Uchiha Tsuki turned to look at Uchiha Rin beside her and gave her a look.

Lin understood, took out a thick stack of documents, and gently placed them on the negotiating table.

"Tobirama-kun, before we go our separate ways, why don't you take a look at these documents first?" Uchiha Tsuki pushed the documents over.

Tobirama Senju glanced at him suspiciously, then picked up the top scroll and unfolded it.

The signatures of the Hyuga clan were clearly visible.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he flipped through the pages even faster, one scroll after another.

"This...how is this possible?" he murmured.

The next second, he suddenly connected many details that he couldn't understand or hadn't noticed.

I've been used!

Tobirama Senju's defenses crumbled. "You disgusting, despicable scoundrel! You stirred up public opinion, used us to create momentum, and now you're trying to blackmail us?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. I'm not threatening you, but telling you that those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little."

Uchiha Tsukuyomi corrected him, "Tobirama-kun, so many people support me, what gives you the right to criticize me?"

You only represent yourself; all the accusations stem from your selfishness.

After speaking, he looked at Madara Uchiha and asked, "Madara, do you think my conditions are too harsh?"

"You are not fit to be a dictator," Ban replied calmly.

He didn't refute the dictatorship; he simply believed that Uchiha Tsuki's strength was insufficient to handle such a system.

In the end, this world is all about strength.

"Madman! Evil Uchiha!" Tobirama Senju's eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Hashirama Senju. "Brother, we..."

Hashirama Senju raised his head, stopped his younger brother, and looked at Tsuki Uchiha very seriously.

"Moon Lord, I only have one question for you: What do you think peace is? What is the foundation of peace?"

Uchiha Tsukuyomi paused for a moment, then glanced instinctively at Uchiha Madara, and smiled…

Does it seem a bit inappropriate to eat beef face-to-face?
