Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 48 Tobirama Senju: Makoto Uchiha, when it comes to corruption, I would call you the strongest.

"Working for you?"

"How can this be!!"

Senju Tobirama almost subconsciously refused. He was the nominal second-in-command of Konoha Village, but the actual leader. How could he possibly work for a naturally evil Uchiha kid like you?

"Don't be so quick to refuse."

"I know your talent and ability in developing ninjutsu. For example, the Flying Thunder God Technique killed Madara-sama's brother. You're even currently developing ninjutsu to counter the Uchiha clan. Putting that aside, I still admire your abilities."

Uchiha Makoto said this.

Senju Tobirama is actually an outstanding scientific research talent. The various forbidden techniques he invented have almost influenced the direction of the entire Naruto world. If we can use his intelligence and talents to improve the core competitiveness of Akatsuki Village as much as possible, it will definitely be a huge profit.

The first half of Uchiha Makoto's words had made Senju Tobirama smile triumphantly, especially the part where he single-handedly killed Uchiha Izuna, which was his highlight moment. But the second half was also true, but Senju Hashirama was still standing nearby. Upon hearing this, he glared at Senju Tobirama with a dangerous look. "Tobirama, why are you still targeting Madara's people?!"
This is really outrageous!

"Don't talk nonsense. I haven't developed any ninjutsu against the Uchiha clan yet."

Senju Tobirama defended himself rather guiltily, but Uchiha Makoto looked unconvinced and continued:

"I can provide you with the most advanced laboratory in the entire ninja world, as well as a series of supporting measures. Of course, all the results produced by this laboratory must be handed over to the Akatsuki Village and have the technology patented. Even you, Tobirama Senju, are not allowed to plagiarize or steal them. I will also pay you a fee of 200 million taels per month."

Uchiha Makoto directly put forward his conditions, which can be said to be full of sincerity, and 200 million taels per month is already an absolutely high salary in this ninja world.

Senju Tobirama doesn't need to take any risks at all. He can earn the rewards for two S-level tasks every month, and all the losses and costs during the experiment have to be paid by himself.

"That's something I'll think about."

Senju Tobirama originally wanted to refuse directly, but the conditions offered by Uchiha Makoto really tempted him. Two million ryo for the top laboratory in the ninja world. The Uchiha clan members didn't understand technical work such as scientific research. By using a few tricks, he should be able to get the resources of his laboratory for free.

What chef doesn’t steal ingredients?

How can scientific research and technical personnel not get experimental resources for free? All expenses are paid by Uchiha Makoto!

But he works for the Uchiha clan. If this matter gets out, it will be too embarrassing. Senju Tobirama chooses to save face!

"Senju Tobirama, you don't want Konoha to not get financial assistance from the Land of Fire and fall into financial hardship, do you?"

Uchiha Makoto saw the hesitation on Senju Tobirama's face and decided to use his special skills to give Senju Tobirama a boost in strength.

"asshole!"

"Do you really think you can cover up the sky of the Fire Nation single-handedly?"

"Well, then you give it a try!"

The two of them were once again on the verge of a fight. Hashirama Senju couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly stepped out and acted as a peacemaker again, trying to persuade them.

It's just about letting his younger brother, Tobirama Senju, go to the laboratory to do his favorite scientific research. What's the big deal?

Moreover, his younger brother does not have to pay for the experimental resources, and he doesn't have to find ways to "embezzle" the village funds. The most important thing is that Uchiha Makoto can pay Senju Tobirama 2 million every month, which is not a small amount of money.

Hashirama Senju usually "sticks his elbows outward".

"Brother, shut up!"

"Don't you know how busy I am with work every day? And all you do is hang out with Madara Uchiha all day long. I'm the one doing all the work in the village, and you're still here siding with Makoto Uchiha!" Tobirama Senju roared at Hashirama Senju. He admitted that Makoto Uchiha's offer was very generous, but putting aside his own pride, he simply didn't have time to do research anymore. The village's affairs alone were keeping him extremely busy.

"In fact, you can use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create several clones every day, and use your Flying Thunder God Technique to leave a seal in the laboratory. You can come to the laboratory every day to do scientific research. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Uchiha Makoto said quietly from the side.

He had even figured out how Tobirama Senju would work.

Senju Hashirama: "Yes, this is indeed a good idea."

"What a fart!"

"Brother, have you forgotten the dangers of this forbidden technique? Frequent use can damage the body of the person performing it, and may even lead to sudden death."

Senju Tobirama had a dark face. If Senju Hashirama wasn't his elder brother, I wouldn't be able to beat him by myself. Otherwise, huh, he just knew how to be disloyal all day long!

"I can offer a very high price."

"As long as you agree to this, everything about Konoha Village's funding will be easy to discuss."

Uchiha Cheng said this with a solemn oath.

Anyway, the expenses of Konoha Village are all paid by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. He is only responsible for negotiations. Moreover, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has plenty of money now and is terrified of Konoha, so he doesn't mind spending money to avoid disaster.

Uchiha Makoto had no psychological burden at all in taking the money from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to do his own business.

"A very high price?"

"Can your offer be higher than the sky?"

Uchiha Makoto: "You might as well tell me."

Senju Tobirama felt that the pace of today's negotiations was completely controlled by Uchiha Makoto. He suspected that the Fire Country Daimyo was being controlled by Uchiha Makoto with illusions, but now was not the time to think about that. So he raised a few fingers and said in a loud voice: "Eight billion ryo!"

Hashirama Senju on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes. At present, the working capital of Konoha Village is not even 10 billion taels. This is when Konoha was burdened with the infamy of tulips and finally sold a wave of tulips to recover some of the losses. Otherwise, there would only be a few hundred million taels left.

Konoha's financial situation is very tight now. When discussing with him in the office before, Senju Tobirama said that 5 billion ryo would be a very high price, even a sky-high price. He didn't expect that his younger brother would add 3 billion ryo to the price in order to persuade Uchiha Makoto to withdraw. You know, the daimyo only gave Uchiha Makoto 1 billion ryo at the beginning.

"Too little!"

Uchiha Makoto shook his head.

"Is it too much? This is the lowest price. Wait a minute. Did you say it was too little?"

Senju Tobirama couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Slightly double it, 15 billion ryo. If it's Konoha, I can give you 10 billion ryo!"

Senju Tobirama was stunned by her beauty for a moment.

Uchiha Makoto!

Are you so ruthless?

He embezzled 5 billion taels while chatting and laughing?
