Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 67 How can this not be considered a kind of minotaur? (Third update.)
Not long after.

The group arrived at the Light and Shadow Building.

Logically speaking, all the accompanying people from both sides should be waiting in the reception hall, because the next meeting will be a relatively private one, but Uzumaki Shinji always brought a girl with him. Although she looked very cute, with big and bright eyes, and her red hair in a high ponytail made her look more youthful and beautiful, she would wink at him and peek at him from time to time.

However, considering the highly confidential nature of the subsequent talks, this behavior is somewhat inappropriate.

However, seeing that Uzumaki Shinji seemed unmoved, Uchiha Makoto chose to acquiesce, after all, a guest is a guest.

After some simple pleasantries, the atmosphere of the discussion between the two was quite good, and Uzumaki Shinji directly stated his purpose. He came to form an alliance with Akatsuki Village on behalf of the Uzumaki clan's Uzumaki Village.

Hear something like this.

Uchiha Makoto was a little disappointed. After all, he still held the hope that the Uzumaki clan would join the Akatsuki Village, but this hope was somewhat delusional.

But even so.

The Uzumaki clan can still be regarded as a high-quality potential ally of the Akatsuki Village.

Konoha remained as still as a mountain when their allies were in trouble, while the Uzumaki clan was truly courageous. They helped Konoha fight in the First and Second World Wars and ultimately led to the destruction of their own country and clan. Uchiha Makoto felt reassured by such an ally.

But Uchiha Makoto did not agree immediately. Things that are too easy to get are always not cherished.

And
Even if the head of the Uzumaki clan came in person, he just wanted to form an alliance with the Akatsuki Village with just his mouth.

That would be too much of a disrespect for Akatsuki Village.

No matter what, Akatsuki Village is on par with Konoha in the Land of Fire. And Akatsuki Village is not like Konoha. At least Konoha still has the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan as a bond, and there are even personal connections between the two sides.

so.
If the Uzumaki clan wants to form an alliance with the Akatsuki Village, they must convince themselves with real benefits. Of course, the Akatsuki Village will also make corresponding exchanges of interests and provide real money to support the Uzumaki Village. This is also one of the purposes of Shinji Uzumaki coming to the Akatsuki Village this time.

The Whirlpool Village really needs financial support now. After all, it is not easy for a small country like Whirlpool with a small population to support the Whirlpool Village, especially at this time when the Warring States Period has just ended. The situation between various countries and ninja clans is actually not very good and they need to recuperate.

"Master Guangying, I am not afraid of losing face. The Whirlpool Village is now. If you can lend a hand..."

Shinji Uzumaki wants to obtain financial support from Akatsuki Village to develop his own ninja village.

As for why he didn't ask Konoha for financial assistance, the reason was simple: Uzumaki Shinji was trying to prove himself. He had just rejected Konoha's invitations several times before, and now he turned around and asked Konoha for money. This was really...
Moreover, there will definitely be voices of opposition within Konoha. The various ninja clans have used all kinds of tricks to get funds, but they have all been rejected without exception. It is simply unreasonable for the Uzumaki clan, which has not joined Konoha, to get financial assistance just by opening its mouth.

Of course, if the Uzumaki clan really did this, they could probably get some financial assistance free of charge, but this would not only be embarrassing, but would also involve a debt of favor from the Senju clan and Konoha.

Well known.

The debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

When paying off your debts, you could lose your life if you’re not careful.

However, the nature of Uzumaki Shinji asking for money from Akatsuki Village is different. It is like doing business. It is an exchange of interests between allies and there is no so-called debt of favor.

"I understand the difficulties faced by the Uzushinobi Village. The Akatsuki Village's finances are indeed much more abundant than yours, but even if they are abundant, the Akatsuki Village's funds are not blown by the wind."

"I understand what Master Guangying means. What do you want to gain from the Uzushinobi Village?"

"I want the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique inheritance."

Uchiha Makoto stated his request directly. What was valuable to the Uzumaki clan was nothing more than themselves and their inheritance of sealing techniques that was far ahead of the rest of the ninja world.

"impossible!"

"The Sealing Technique is the most precious thing to the Uzumaki Clan!"

"It's absolutely impossible to hand it over."

The one who spoke was not Uzumaki Shinji, but the girl beside him, Tsubaki Shizuku Uzumaki. It was obvious that she was well aware of the importance of sealing techniques to the Uzumaki clan.

"Tsubaki Shizuku."

Shinji Uzumaki gave a slightly awkward smile. It was indeed very rude to have a little girl suddenly interrupt the conversation between two big men. However, Shinji Uzumaki did not deny what Tsubaki Shizuku Uzumaki said. He even felt that Uchiha Makoto had no intention of negotiating properly.

"Master Guangying, although Tsubaki Shizuku's behavior just now was very rude, you know that I really cannot agree to such a request."

Uchiha Makoto didn't care about Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku's transgression. He naturally knew how excessive his demands were, but who would reveal their bottom price right at the beginning of the negotiation?

Just basic negotiation skills.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." "Then let's change our request. I hope that whenever Akatsuki needs sealing techniques, the Uzumaki clan can send clansmen to provide support. Ideally, they could send a few sealing technique experts to be stationed in Akatsuki."

Uchiha Makoto then compromised and made a request that was not so excessive. He thought that Uzumaki Shinji should be able to agree to this request.

Akatsuki Village really needs the Uzumaki clan's support in sealing techniques. The ninjas who joined Akatsuki Village only knew a little bit of the basics, which resulted in there being few decent sealing barriers around Akatsuki Village.

And it’s also a very important thing.

That is about the Hyuga clan.

Uchiha Cheng had secretly sent people to contact the members of the Hyuga branch family, hoping that they could leave the Hyuga clan and join the Akatsuki Village, but all of them failed without exception.

It seems that the Hyuga main family has mastered the seal that can remotely activate the self-destruction of a caged bird, just to prevent the Hyuga branch family from defecting from the family. Due to the abnormal control of blood, the Hyuga clan will conduct regular population inspections every once in a while. Anyone who leaves the family for a long time without authorization and fails to report will be sentenced to death. If it weren't for this method, I'm afraid that members of the Hyuga branch family would have started to defect in large numbers long ago.

This left Uchiha Makoto with no chance to win over the members of the Hyuga branch family.

The bird in the cage is difficult to crack, but there might be a chance if we design a seal that can remotely and temporarily block the bird's self-destruction. At least it can last until these people sow the seeds.

"That's no problem."

"But I would like to add one more requirement to this."

"Marriage!"

Uzumaki Shinji said this.

As a small country with few people, the weak Uzushinobi Village needs strong allies.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

The Uzumaki clan already has a Konoha Village, and they also need an Akatsuki Village. The young talent of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Makoto, is a very suitable candidate.

and.

Humph. How can you, the Senju clan, have an unclear relationship with the Uchiha clan!
Why can’t my Uzumaki clan do that?
　Today it’s still 6,000 words.

　　I didn't expect that I could update 6k words for two consecutive days. I updated 4k words a day until the end of my last book. I'm really amazing.

　　I spent half a day drawing pictures using origin in the afternoon and I am so tired.

　　I hate drawing the most.

　　As for updates, if I can't update at 6:, then it will be at night. As for how often I can update, that depends on when I can come back. Four thousand words can be updated on time, but I want to go a step further and update k words every day.

　　I said so much just to ask for follow-up subscriptions.

　　
　　The final py link.

　　My friend's new book.

　　Bright Sword fan fiction.

　　Introduction: Zhou Zhiyuan: "Captain Li!"

　　Li Yunlong: "Who is it?"

　　Zhou Zhiyuan: "Don't shoot, they're one of us!"

　　Li Yunlong: "It was you who led the Japanese here?"

　　Zhou Zhiyuan: "Captain Li, the Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message"

　　Li Yunlong: "What did the devils say?"

　　Zhou Zhiyuan: "They said they died peacefully!"

　　Li Yunlong: "Well done, we should lead them into our encirclement!"

　　
　　After that, Zhou Zhiyuan, who did not follow the beaten path, joined Li Yunlong's new regiment.

　　Three years later, Li Yunlong was dismissed for disobeying orders on the battlefield. Song Shaohua, a former subordinate of Zhou Zhiyuan and the commander of the first battalion, succeeded Li Yunlong as the commander of the new first regiment due to his outstanding military achievements.
　　Although the subject matter is quite different, you can take a look if you are interested.
