Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

For Tobirama, this result would be worse than actually setting his butt on fire.

Looking at Tobirama Senju who was spinning around anxiously in the small conference room, Yuzhen suddenly felt a little gloating... Putting aside the impression left by the original work, in fact, Yuzhen's feelings towards Uchiha Madara were basically limited to dislike and disgust, and he couldn't say that he hated him that much.

But Senju Tobirama was different. He wanted to spit in Madara's face twenty-four hours a day.

"Tobirama, you like to scheme and plot, but you messed up, didn't you?"

Needless to say, Tobirama's "killing people and destroying their hearts" plan worked, but not completely... In his imagination, Madara was defeated in the battle with his elder brother last time, and when he returned home he found that his home was gone. Shouldn't he have become very angry and impulsive?

Given Madara's stubborn character, shouldn't he have no hesitation in fighting with his own strength when he meets Hashirama again?

But what about surrender?

From this we can see that there is a certain deviation in Tobirama's perception of Madara. Is it possible that after being excited and angry, Madara will become rational?

Furthermore, just because Madara accidentally killed a member of the Uchiha clan, we cannot assume that he no longer cares about the Uchiha clan.

At present, Madara is still the head of the Uchiha clan, and a certain sense of responsibility will still drive him to make certain decisions... It is a gradual process for Madara to abandon the Uchiha clan and no longer be burdened by the name of the clan. It is impossible for his attitude towards the Uchiha clan to make a 180-degree turn overnight.

"No, why would Uchiha Madara surrender? This is not in line with his character."

"Periodically feeling discouraged, huh? For Uchiha Madara, Hashirama is probably the only person worth surrendering to?"

If Madara was a normal person, a normal clan leader, then facing the reality that almost his entire clan was in the hands of the enemy, he would have no other choice but to surrender.

The question is, is Madara a normal person? Tobirama always thought that Madara was a crazy person, so his understanding of him was a bit one-sided. He didn't expect that crazy people also have normal sides.

"I mean... No, if I had known..."

I should have known not to interfere with my elder brother Hashirama's determination and awareness, right?

But the world is fair. Uchiha Madara cannot buy medicine for regret, and neither can Senju Tobirama.

"Tobirama, is it possible... well, overall, Uchiha Madara's surrender is actually a good thing? If you tell everyone about this, their morale will surely be boosted, and they will be more confident in the future of the New Ninja Village."

Of course, Yuzhen thought that it was a good thing that Madara was getting closer to Hashirama. Perhaps he could take out the research project on Hashirama's cells... He actually knew that it was unrealistic for him to completely ignore things after the establishment of Konoha, so he had already chosen a position for himself that was quite symbolic but had no real power.

"Celebrating a funeral? No, it's precisely because the funeral wasn't held that I can't be happy..."

"Don't be discouraged. Consider Madara's character. His 'condescending' surrender is just an act of helplessness. He might rebel someday."

Yu Zhenxin said that Tobirama was a little mentally unbalanced, and he even said something like "treating a funeral as a wedding"... In fact, it must be a good thing for an iconic figure like Uchiha Madara to surrender to the Senju Alliance, and it can even be considered of great significance.

"rebel……"

These two words made Tobirama stop suddenly.

"Well, rebellion."

Yuzhen repeated.

Let me put it this way, for example, Uchiha Madara is a little fairy. One day a disaster occurs in the world, and only one honest man is left alive. At this time, based on some subjective and objective reasons, he has to marry this honest man, not for anything else, because the honest man is his only choice.

But what happens after that?

The more he thinks about it, the more aggrieved he will feel. What will he say when the time comes to do something?

He would say "Sorry, but it's still ugly."

Well, actually, Yuzhen also has a narrow prejudice against Uchiha Madara. He must have been infected by Senju Tobirama and became black-hearted.

I don’t know which words touched Tobirama’s nerves, but his emotions gradually calmed down.

Half an hour passed quickly and the meeting resumed.

After Tobirama regained his sanity, he really started to "celebrate the funeral". He said to everyone:

"I just received some good news. After confirming that it is basically correct, I will now share it with everyone... The most stubborn rebel in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Madara of the Uchiha clan, has surrendered to us."

Tobirama secretly thought it was a pity that the third battle between his elder brother and Uchiha Madara never happened. If they had…

Regardless of his personal feelings, this news was indeed a shot in the arm for everyone present.

Even Uchiha Madara surrendered, so what else is there to say? This shows that everyone is a wise man with foresight. Joining the alliance is the right decision, and the future of the new ninja village is even brighter.

This is a meeting to prepare for the establishment of the Ninja Village, so everyone's speeches have become more active.

After much discussion, a little-known ninja clan leader finally discovered a blind spot.

"Everyone, since it's a one-country, one-village system, the Fire Country's armed forces are controlled by the New Ninja Village, but what about the Fire Country's political situation? Which daimyo should lead it?"

This is a key question because he found the crux of the matter.

At this time, Yuzhen, who had been acting as a puppet, finally spoke for the first time in the conference room:

"Well, on this issue, I definitely support the Daimyo Shimizu of Kawagen Province."

"Everyone, if you can remain rational and not have preconceived opinions, you will surely understand that Shimizu Daimyo is more suitable to lead the politics of the Land of Fire... If you have met Shimizu Daimyo and other daimyos, and if you have normal judgment, you will support Shimizu Daimyo."

What else can be done now? Yu Zhen can only keep warm to the end.

"Shimizu Daimyo, the Shimizu Daimyo of Kawagen Province... He is indeed a virtuous and capable daimyo."

"Yes, it was Chuanyuan Country that supported us during the critical period of the war."

"Not only that, not long ago this daimyo personally rushed to the front lines. His courage is commendable."

"That's all in the past, not important. What's more important is the future of the new ninja village... Do you know how high a percentage of the Firefly Organization's military budget is in the Kawase nation's finances?"

"How tall?"

"It's scary high, I heard..."

Yu Zhen doesn't come out to set the pace easily, but once he does, he will definitely set the pace high.

At this time, Tobirama was a little restless. He glanced at Yuzhen out of the corner of his eyes and thought to himself, you kid actually stabbed me in the back with your bare hands.

Just a moment ago, everyone was happily scolding Uchiha Madara together, how come the two sides became enemies in the blink of an eye?

"No, I think the Daimyo of Yuan City is more appropriate. Although the Daimyo of Qingshui has done a righteous act of helping us in times of need, the Daimyo of Yuan City's long-term and persistent support for us is even more valuable."

Tobirama spoke immediately, trying to divert the topic away from everyone's direction.

The Senju clan must support the Daimyo of Sonichi. In fact, the previous actions of the Daimyo of Shimizu to win over the Senju clan were not to make them change their allegiance, but just to prevent them from opposing him... Once he becomes the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Senju clan will not express any opposition. The Daimyo of Shimizu's goal is very practical.

However, his words were pale and powerless. The timely assistance from the Daimyo Shimizu was for all the allied ninja clans, while the persistent support from the Daimyo Sonichi was only for the Senju clan.

What's the name of Yuanshi? I'm not familiar with it.

"Eh, there seems to be some disagreement."

Compared to the somewhat anxious Tobirama, Yuzhen's tone remained calm.

"We can try to resolve this minor disagreement. This can actually be considered a trial run of the ninja village's decision-making mechanism."

Yuzhen started by putting the blame on others and tied this matter to the ninja village's ability to make fair decisions and resolve differences. If this time is not handled well, how can everyone believe that the ninja village will be fair in the future?

"In fact, the solution to this kind of situation is very simple. It's nothing more than combining everyone's opinions and letting the minority obey the majority... Everyone can vote for their favorite daimyo."

"We can vote by clan, or each ninja can have one vote... Oh, for the sake of fairness, if we vote by clan, then the smaller clans can have one vote, and the larger clans can have two, three, or even five votes."

"What do you think of my suggestion?"

"I object!"

Senju Tobirama spoke in a high tone, but Yuzhen had already taken the lead in the meeting. What would it matter if you shouted louder? Do you understand that the truth lies not in the loudness of the voice?

At this time, Tobirama was gritting his teeth. He wanted to pull Yuzhen out for a duel... Who among his family members would understand? Political infighting is too dark.

Chapter 176: Settling the World's Affairs (Part 1)

Ordinary ninjas and even ordinary ninja clans don’t actually care who the daimyo of this country is. Anyway, the daimyo basically has no influence on the ecology of ordinary ninjas.

For example, for ordinary ninjas of the Senju Alliance, the time when the daimyo's presence is most felt is when the daimyo's presence is no longer felt... They are fighting and running out of supplies, and then they think of the existence of such a creature as the daimyo.

Then at this time, Daimyo Shimizu took advantage of the opportunity.

Even the ninjas didn't try to figure out why they were short of supplies. It was because of the high prices paid by the Daimyo Shimizu...

Looking back, Shimizu Daimyo bought supplies at high prices, which led to the ninjas' lack of supplies. Then Shimizu Daimyo provided support with supplies, the ninjas obtained supplies, and Shimizu Daimyo gained reputation. The logical loop is closed.

However, ordinary ninjas may not care who the daimyo is, but the Senju clan cannot care. The reason why the Senju clan supports the Sonichi clan is the same as that of Hotaru supporting the Shimizu clan.

There is actually no question of who is fair and who is selfish here. The two sides just have different positions.

The Sonoichi clan has always been a supporter of the Senju clan. Out of moral obligation, after the Senju Alliance pacifies the Fire Country, the Senju clan should support the Sonoichi clan to become the daimyo of the Fire Country.

However, the Thousand Hands Alliance is not an alliance belonging to the Thousand Hands clan. In such matters, it is of course impossible for Thousand Hands to have everything it says.

If the conflict between Senju and Yinghuo could be resolved easily, then the other ninja clans would just stay out of it.

But if a vote is really needed to decide who will be the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, then everyone will definitely vote according to their own preferences.

The reason is simple. It is impossible for Hashirama Senju to force everyone to accept his will. It is just deciding the ownership of the daimyo, not a war.

If Hashirama Senju forced his own opinions, then an originally "insignificant" matter would instantly arouse the dissatisfaction of many ninjas.

Hashirama would definitely not do such a thing. He would be struggling with how to choose the best of both worlds.

What? It was Tobirama Senju who wanted to force the Sonoichi clan? That's fine.

However, Yu Zhen's suggestion of voting was only to force Senju Tobirama. He would not really do it because doing so would be tantamount to forcing the Senju clan into a corner.

If Yuzhen really intends to solve the problem by voting, it would be equivalent to slapping Senju in the face. It doesn't matter if he slaps Senju Tobirama in the face, but Yuzhen still cares about Senju Hashirama's feelings... Again, he is not Senju Butsuma, and he doesn't really want to slap Hashirama in the face.

Yu Zhen proposed voting just to prepare to use the "window method".

The ninjas of the Senju clan always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and a skylight should be opened here, the Senju clan will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will be willing to open the skylight.

After Yuzhen proposed the method of voting to decide the daimyo, Tobirama was a little out of control of the venue... It's simple, everyone has power, so of course they will try to use this power.

One of the basic concepts of establishing a new ninja village is that the village belongs to everyone rather than to a certain ninja clan, so how can a certain ninja clan prevent everyone from using power at this time?

Yu Zhen looked at Tobirama with a look that said "Little Kuroko, let's see what you have to say", and almost got angry at him.

I'm very angry, but there's nothing I can do.

With Yuzhen's kind reminder, Tobirama has realized that there is a big problem with the "Clan Leaders' Meeting" because it can easily become a one-man show for Yuzhen.

But he had already informed everyone of the power plan. Wanting to suddenly turn around now? Haha, it would definitely not work.

Not to mention that Hashirama Senju likes this "Clan Leaders' Meeting" very much. If Tobirama denies this meeting, then Hashirama will deny his denial, because it can bring a sense of unity and striving for progress, which is exactly what Hashirama pursues.

On the one hand, it was due to Hashirama's personality, and on the other hand, when a person has absolute military power, he either likes to win people over with virtue, or...

I like to win people over with true virtue.

Yu Zhen was quite happy at this time. Politics, how can it be called politics without struggle? As long as you fight without breaking, it's fine.

"Yes, of course the Sonoichi clan is good. They have provided a lot of support, and we certainly hope that they can become daimyo... If I had two votes, I would definitely vote for the Sonoichi clan."

"Yes, but can the village give two tickets to a small ninja like us?"

"Shimizu Daimyo? Shimizu Daimyo isn't very famous, except for his trip to the front lines."

"Yes, I heard that some people even called Shimizu Daimyo a foolish Daimyo... If the Daimyo is a fool, does that mean it will be more beneficial to the ninja village?"

The clan leaders started to communicate with each other, and it was not difficult to tell from their voices that Senju's opinion had become the minority... Even if the small ninja clan was given two votes, they would cast both votes for Shimizu Daimyo.

Tobirama was under siege, but this time Hazen would not save him because it was Hazen who started the siege.

Tobirama couldn't even resist.

However, this was ultimately his own predicament. In fact, if he later told Hashirama what happened in the meeting, how would Hashirama react? He would probably just laugh.

Well, seeing that Tobirama was about to collapse, Yuzhen still reached out to save him... Well, he only saved him, not the Daimyo of Sonoichi.

"Well, everyone knows that Shimizu Daimyo is a man who does not lack determination and courage."

No one paid any attention to Tobirama when he spoke, because at that time everyone's impression of him was that he was Hashirama's younger brother, and everyone was only giving him face for Hashirama's sake.

But after Yu Zhen spoke, everyone quickly quieted down, because Yu Zhen was the creator of Yinghuo and also the founder of various systems of the new ninja village... The face that you earn yourself is the face that is forever.

"On the one hand, Shimizu Daimyo has always been ambitious and has the ideal of governing the country and ensuring the people's safety. Therefore, it is impossible for him to give up the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"On the other hand, he doesn't want to cause disputes among us ninjas because of mundane matters like political power."

"Therefore, Daimyo Shimizu has told me a proposal, and I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."

"Lord Yuzhen, please explain Daimyo Shimizu's proposal in detail." Someone immediately responded.

Needless to say, a large number of clan leaders here are Firefly Ninjas. Even if there are no Firefly Ninjas here, there will be many people who are willing to act as a guarantor for Yu Zhen.

"The theory of Shimizu Daimyo is this: since the ninjas have settled the problems caused by the ninjas, there is no need for ninjas to intervene in worldly affairs. The question of the ownership of the daimyo should of course be decided by the daimyo himself."
