Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 94: Cloud Ninja and Akatsuki Ninja fight. How pleasant it would sound if Uchiha Makoto died suddenly!

The news of Akatsuki Village's great victory quickly reached Konoha, and the first person to receive the news was naturally Tobirama Senju, the inherently evil old ghost.

Hokage's office.

Senju Tobirama held two pieces of intelligence in his hand, one of which was a self-defense counterattack statement from the Akatsuki Village: "The Hidden Cloud Village has repeatedly ignored our Akatsuki Village's warnings, not only deliberately killing two of our Chunin, but also attacking the Akatsuki Village negotiation delegation, seriously threatening the safety of our Akatsuki Village delegation!"

This statement has been widely publicized by several authoritative media outlets in the Land of Fire, who have confidently vouched for Akatsuki Village, proving that Kumogakure Village has gone too far!

Some smaller countries surrounding the Land of Fire also followed suit, promoting the statement and launching round after round of attacks and denigration against the Hidden Cloud Village.

Even the media from several other major countries joined in the fray. Not only did the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water follow suit, but even some influential newspapers and media from the Land of Lightning, which is the headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Village, went so far as to criticize and denounce the Hidden Cloud Village.

As for media and newspapers, those who study journalism, such as the BBC, have always done their work for money.

It’s the same in the ninja world. If you pay them, they will really do the job!

However, even though Uchiha Makoto had already won a great victory in the public opinion field, Senju Tobirama's evaluation of this statement was only two words - "Toilet paper!"

Senju Tobirama would never believe the one-sided words of these unscrupulous media (those who speak for Uchiha are unscrupulous media)!
Based on his understanding of Uchiha Makoto, the inherently evil Uchiha brat, as well as the Akatsuki Village's previous deliberate blackmail-like compensation clauses, and Akatsuki Village's recent series of abnormal actions, he can draw a conclusion - there must be something fishy about this matter!
The evidence accompanying the statement is either forged or carefully edited!

These unscrupulous media must have been paid!

Akatsuki Village deliberately found an excuse to declare war on Kumogakure Village!

“It’s really terrible!”

"Manipulating people's hearts and minds, manipulating public opinion, the Hidden Cloud Village must be in trouble this time. They will have to bear the blame for starting the war!"

Senju Tobirama crumpled up the toilet paper-like statement and threw it into the trash can, but the danger level of Uchiha Makoto increased again in his heart. Uchiha Makoto is an evil Uchiha who likes to play with people's hearts and manipulate public opinion!

He had experienced Uchiha Makoto's methods before, but he was slightly more vigilant and did not take the matter seriously. Now Senju Tobirama has truly witnessed the horror of this move!

It can really be said that he kills without shedding blood!

Now the entire ninja world believes that it was the Hidden Cloud Village that first attacked the Akatsuki Village's negotiation delegation. It was a deliberate attack, and the Akatsuki Village was forced to retaliate in self-defense. Even if the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to stand up and refute and defend itself, it would be of no avail. How could one mouth possibly speak louder than so many others?
Uchiha Makoto is really an evil kid, and his methods are really despicable!
Disgraceful!

However, Senju Tobirama had to admit that this was indeed a good trick!

If there is a chance in the future.
"We must find a way to use this trick on Uchiha Makoto. This can be regarded as a way of giving him a taste of his own medicine."

"I am doing justice for the heavens!"

Senju Tobirama thought so in his heart, and then opened another piece of information in his hand.

"Uchiha Makoto, this inherently evil Uchiha brat, actually broke away from Konoha and went to war with the Hidden Cloud Village alone?"

"Over a thousand fully-armed Kumogakure ninjas were completely annihilated by the Akatsuki ninjas at their own defense line. This was truly a beautiful annihilation battle!"

After reading this information.

Senju Tobirama's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed. He didn't expect that Uchiha Makoto could really make up his mind to break away from Konoha and fight the Hidden Cloud Village alone, and he didn't expect that Uchiha Makoto could achieve such great results in one night.

Thousands of fully armed ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village were wiped out overnight by the Akatsuki ninjas led by Uchiha Makoto.

Even Tobirama Senju had to admit that this was a beautiful lightning-fast annihilation battle, leaving aside Uchiha Madara of Konoha and Hashirama Senju, the two unconventional fighters in the ninja world.

The two sides exchange roles.

Senju Tobirama felt that even if he personally led the Konoha ninjas, it would be extremely difficult to achieve such a record.

"But what on earth does Uchiha Makoto want to do?"

"What good will starting this war bring to Akatsuki Village? There's no conflict of interest between Kumogakure and Akatsuki Village. Is it really just for those two Chunin? That's outrageous and too impulsive. Hmm. As for the Uchiha clan, it doesn't seem impossible!"

Senju Tobirama put down the intelligence in his hand and began to analyze the current situation muttering to himself. Because Uchiha Makoto had a God's perspective and the two of them had completely different ways of thinking, Senju Tobirama was a pure old-school Warring States ninja, while Uchiha Makoto was more like a Paradox player, so...
Tobirama Senju still hasn't figured out the logic and motivation behind Uchiha Makoto's determination to declare war on the Hidden Cloud Village. In his opinion, the loss of ninjas in Akatsuki Village, Konoha, and the Hidden Cloud Village is just a common mission conflict in the Warring States Period, and it is not at all to the extent that a war must be declared.

"Case solved! I must have been overthinking it. This might simply be Uchiha Makoto going crazy."

Senju Tobirama thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Uchiha Makoto's true thoughts. In the end, he skillfully attributed the reason to Uchiha's daily madness.

After all, during the Warring States Period, he had seen countless times that members of the Uchiha clan were "corrupted" by the extremely evil negative chakra carried by the Sharingan - these Uchiha clan members were affected by this, and either their personalities would change drastically, or they would do all sorts of weird and crazy things.

Just now.

Hashirama Senju rushed over exhausted. When Tobirama Senju got the first-hand information, he immediately notified his elder brother Hashirama Senju to come to the Hokage's office to align the granularity with him.

Because these major events involved diplomacy and war, Senju Tobirama had no say in the matter and could not make the decision. After all, the Shadow Hokage was the Shadow Hokage and could not make decisions in the open.

"Tobirama, what should we do? The Hidden Cloud Village is deliberately provoking us, and the Akatsuki Village is fighting back in self-defense. The war has already begun!"

Senju Hashirama quickly learned the news from the two intelligence reports, and an anxious look appeared on his face.

He had recently used all his skills and finally managed to calm Uchiha Madara down and prevent him from doing anything out of line.

But
Hashirama Senju had keenly sensed that Madara was in a very depressed mood, his chakra had become even colder, and some unknown changes had occurred in his whole person.

Now the Hidden Cloud Village has actually provoked the Akatsuki Village to start a war.

He didn't even dare to think about what the Uchiha clan would do, what would Madara do?
Once left alone.

Now the hard-earned peaceful environment will be broken again, and the ninja world may return to the war-torn state of the Warring States Period. This is not the future that Hashirama Senju wants to see.

"Brother, the Hidden Cloud Village probably didn't deliberately provoke. It's probably the Akatsuki Village that's framing them."

Senju Tobirama was speechless. His elder brother was still saying that Akatsuki Village was counterattacking in self-defense?

It's really naive!

One of the two most dangerous elements in the ninja world now is Uchiha Makoto, who personally planned this war.

The other one is Uchiha Madara!
Senju Tobirama felt that it was really necessary for him to constantly clarify the truth of the incident to his elder brother and let him give up some unrealistic fantasies about Uchiha.

"Tobirama, I've said it so many times, never say anything that's detrimental to the unity of the Uchiha!" "Especially now, when the atmosphere is so sensitive, if these words reach Madara's ears, do you know how much effort it will take for him to clear up the misunderstanding?"

Senju Hashirama's sensitive spot was immediately irritated by Senju Tobirama's words. He usually turned his elbow outward, and with a stern face, he lectured Senju Tobirama, "Why are you still the same as before? How can a "bug" like you unite the Uchiha and govern Konoha?"

"Okay, big brother, I understand. I understand. Let's quickly think about how to deal with the current situation."

Senju Tobirama's face darkened. He quickly waved his hands and changed the subject. "My kindness is truly taken for granted! Big brother, you are biased!"
"This"

The topic was quickly changed by Senju Tobirama.

Facing the current situation.
Senju Hashirama felt that this incident happened too suddenly, and he had no good solution for the time being. However, Senju Hashirama had developed a good habit over the years - if he had no idea and was undecided, he would ask his younger brother for his opinion.

If the idea proposed by Tobirama is a good one, then I will listen to him. If it is not a good idea, then let Tobirama think of another one!
"Tobirama, do you have any good ideas?"

"Well"

Senju Tobirama silently rolled his eyes at his elder brother who liked to treat him as a tool, and then began to think skillfully.

The current situation is actually not complicated.

For Konoha.

Since the Akatsuki Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have already started fighting, it doesn’t really matter whether either side is right or wrong.

Your stance determines right and wrong!

The Akatsuki Village is acting under the banner of "seeking justice for the three dead Chunins of Akatsuki and Konoha". Now it not only has the upper hand on the actual battlefield, but also has hammered the Hidden Cloud Village to the ground on the battlefield of public opinion. Konoha is an ally of the Akatsuki Village, and no matter from which angle, it should now unconditionally stand on the side of the Akatsuki Village.

so.
In the eyes of Senju Tobirama.
Even if the Akatsuki Village deliberately provoked a war, we should make the best of it. Konoha should immediately dispatch the ninja army, preferably led by the eldest brother himself, to completely destroy the Hidden Cloud Village with overwhelming force.

In this case.

He no longer had to suppress public opinion within the village, no longer had to worry about the Uchiha clan taking this opportunity to expand their influence in the village, nor did he have to worry about some of the Akatsuki Village's ill intentions.

All problems were solved.

Strength is always the best way to break the deadlock!

But this is where the difficulty lies.

Big brother is a goody-goody!

He would never agree to such a proposal. In his heart, he was probably still thinking about how to quickly control the situation of the war and how to smooth things over. Senju Hashirama understood Senju Tobirama's thoughts better than anyone else!
It is precisely because of the understanding of Hashirama Senju.

Senju Tobirama has a more profound understanding of this war. He now thinks of what Uchiha Madara said, and also thinks about the longer-term future of Konoha.

The friction between ninja villages will definitely increase and eventually evolve into a war between the two sides. This is no longer a prophecy, but a bloody reality right before our eyes.

Konoha will now have friction with the Hidden Cloud Village, but won't there be friction with the Akatsuki Village? Even if Konoha and the Akatsuki Village are allies, will allies always be able to live in peace?

Not to mention
The light and shadow of Akatsuki Village is Uchiha Makoto, the inherently evil Uchiha kid!

He probably had ill intentions towards the Senju clan and Konoha for a long time, otherwise he would not have separated from the Uchiha clan and independently established the Akatsuki Village. Just from this behavior, Senju Tobirama saw that Uchiha Makoto was an absolute threat to Konoha.

Now that Konoha has its eldest brother as its pillar of support, even if Uchiha Madara leads the Uchiha clan and colludes with the Akatsuki Village inside and outside to launch a rebellion, Senju Tobirama is not afraid. He even hopes that this will happen sooner so that the abscess in Konoha can be squeezed out as soon as possible.

But
The probability of this happening is too small.

So small that it's almost impossible to happen.

The Uchiha clan knew too well the strength of their eldest brother. They were just crazy and sometimes acted mad, but they were not crazy enough to make the decision of collective suicide.

The Uchiha clan shouldn't have a madman who is so crazy as to massacre his own family. If one does appear, it can only mean that God bless Konoha!
Now my brother is still here
Konoha will naturally be safe and sound.

But what if big brother is gone one day?

The Senju clan can’t produce another Senju Hashirama, brother, he doesn’t even look like a human being!

Think of this.

Senju Tobirama's expression became increasingly ugly.

That kid Uchiha Makoto is still very young.

Once the eldest brother grows old.

I'm afraid I won't have much time left by then.

Both myself and my elder brother are gone.

The Uchiha clan, still intent on stealing, colluded with the Akatsuki Village at that time. With both internal and external connections connected, could Konoha still suppress them? What would the future of the Senju clan be like at that time?

"Uchiha clan. Senju clan. Uchiha Makoto. Akatsuki ninja village. Konoha"

Senju Tobirama muttered to himself, and suddenly countless worries arose in his heart. He couldn't tell these things to his eldest brother because not only would his eldest brother not believe it, but he would also say some bullshit like "Don't say things that are not conducive to unity."

Moreover, the strength displayed by Akatsuki Village at once is already beyond imagination.

It's time to prepare for a rainy day.
At this moment, Senju Tobirama thought for a long time.

He thought of the days when he worked hard for Konoha day and night.

I thought of the millions of Senju people who died.

Is this the future of Konoha, which I, the Senju clan, have built after going through so much hardship?

Do not!
Qianju Tobirama was very unwilling.

He wants to change!
Even if his decision is likely to leave him with a bad reputation, he will use his own methods to eliminate this possibility!
