Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

"However, our village's deputy commander, Uchiha Izuna, has a crush on your village's Scorch Release ninja, Yekura, and therefore wishes to become your in-laws. To add to our joy, if Master Chiyo is willing, then Konoha will not pursue the responsibility of the Sand Village and will support your son to inherit the position of the Fourth Kazekage."

"At the same time, we can form an alliance, share happiness and difficulties, and Konoha will also provide financial support to the Sand Village. Please consider it carefully, Master Chiyo."

"Hokage of Konoha, Uchiha Owl respectfully presents."

Chiyo's mouth twitched. When she said "Respectfully", it felt like her words were not polite at all. Chiyo originally wanted to swear and curse Uchiha Xiao, but she suddenly looked at her son and hesitated.

Konoha's support is of great benefit to her son and the villagers, and Ye Cang... no matter how close she is, she is not her biological son. Even if her talent is one in a million, she has the strength of a Kage.

But in today's ninja world, everyone with a discerning eye knows that whether the ninja world is in chaos or not is decided by Uchiha Owl. Even if a ninja is more talented or gifted, he is not worthy of being called a genius in front of Uchiha Owl.

On the contrary, establishing friendly relations with Konoha would bring more tangible benefits. The current Sand Village cannot withstand turmoil. Rasa's actions directly destroyed the achievements of the Sand Village in the past eight years.

If she didn't have two thousand ninja troops at her disposal, Chiyo couldn't imagine how Sand Village would resist the invasion of the Rain Country. Would they be annihilated? Would the Rain Country take over Sand Village?

After thinking it over again and again, Chiyo's eyes were dim. She looked at her son again and thought of her little grandson. Chiyo's eyes no longer hesitated. She stood up and looked at Minato Namikaze solemnly.

"Please go back and convey that I, Chiyo, support this matter. However, whether it will succeed or not will depend on the attitudes of the parties involved. If it fails, please don't be angry, Hokage. The Sand Village is willing to pay compensation and be a vassal of Konoha." Chiyo spoke with a natural temperament, making the surrender sound like a victory.

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Chiyo, I will convey everything you said to Lord Hokage word for word." After saying that, Namikaze Minato turned around and was about to leave the Sand Village camp.

"Wait, Lin, go see Minato off and remember to be polite." After giving the order, Chiyo looked at her son Lin.

Lin nodded and stretched out his left hand as a gesture of invitation. Seeing this, Minato Namikaze nodded. The two of them walked out of the tent, one in front and one behind, and headed towards the camp gate.

After the two left, Chiyo sighed and asked her brother to go out. "Ebizo, you go out first. I have something to say to Ye Cang alone. Go wait outside the door. When Lin comes back, ask him to wait outside the door as well."

Ebizo said with a serious face, "Yes, sister!" After that, Ebizo stood in front of the tent, looking straight ahead, ready to stop everyone.

Seeing this, Chiyo immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Ye Cang, come and sit here." Grandma Chiyo stood up, sat in the main seat, and then motioned Ye Cang to sit next to her.

Ye Cang didn't understand what was going on, but she sat down obediently. Just as she sat down, and before the chair had even warmed up, Chiyo suddenly held her hand and said, "Little Ye Cang, you are in your twenties now, right?"

Although Ye Cang was a little confused, he still said, "Well, I'm twenty-six now."

"Grandma wants to ask you, do you have any boy you like?" Chiyo smiled kindly.

When Ye Cang heard this, the handsome appearance of Uchiha Izuna suddenly appeared in his mind, and he blushed and felt shy.

Seeing this, Chiyo thought to herself, "Oh no! Could it be that this little girl already has someone in her heart?" This is troublesome, but thinking about Konoha's assistance and support, Chiyo gritted her teeth and said.

"It's like this, Ye Cang, the Hokage just sent a letter saying that he wants you to marry into Konoha, marry Uchiha Izuna. That way, you can protect the Sand Village, provide it with supplies and financial support, and release the thousands of captured ninjas. But, since you have someone you love, your mother-in-law will refuse this matter on your behalf." Chiyo sighed, her body hunched, like a candle in the wind, looking very pitiful.

Ye Cang's eyelids jumped when she heard this. "Mother-in-law? Who are you talking about?" She couldn't believe her ears. Mother-in-law said the Hokage wanted her to marry whom? Izuna? And she would also protect the Sand Village and provide supplies and financial support?

"Uchiha Izuna is also the biggest hero in the battle between Konoha and Sand Village this time. Uchiha Izuna, their Hokage seems to be interested in letting you marry Uchiha Izuna, so that they can avoid holding Sand Village responsible and provide support to Sand Village."

Chiyo moved her lips. She was acting all this out to get Ye Cang to agree. People only speak half of what they say, as everyone has their own little thoughts. As for supporting Lin and supporting Lin to become the Kazekage, Chiyo did not say it, and could not say it.

Uchiha Xiao also expected that Chiyo must have selfish motives. Her son is not dead now. Although his strength and talent are a little lacking, he is still her own flesh and blood. Now the Sand Village is riddled with holes, and the only fighting force that can be relied upon is Ye Cang and her son Lin.

Oh, Chiyo is half, and she is already old, and Luo Sha has also run away, so the candidates for Kazekage are Ye Cang and Lin. In terms of strength, Ye Cang is slightly stronger. By then, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

And that was based on Konoha's intention to hold them accountable and to impose sanctions on them, so Chiyo intended to let Ye Cang and Lin lead the Sand Village together. But now, Konoha has made its attitude clear that it will not impose sanctions on them and is even willing to form an alliance with them.

This made Chiyo's heart shift from supporting Ye Cang and Lin to the alliance with Konoha. In other words, marrying Ye Cang out would not only meet Konoha's needs, but also solve the current difficulties faced by Sand Village, and also... it would allow her son to ascend to the position of Kazekage, a position that is absolutely safe and stable.

Therefore, such a drama was performed, hoping that Ye Cang would feel sorry for her and the Sand Village, give up the person he loved, and marry to Konoha.

Ye Cang was a little excited at first when he heard that the marriage partner was Uchiha Izuna, but soon reason took over. If she got married, what would happen to the Sand Village?

After hearing the conditions stated by Grandma Chiyo, she suddenly felt that marrying there was not so difficult to accept. The Sand Village had Grandma and Lin, as well as Elder Ebizo. With the support of Konoha, the Sand Village might become even better.

She would marry Uchiha Izunai in Konoha. Uchiha Izunai was Uchiha Owl's grandfather. Would Uchiha Owl take better care of the Sand Village for Uchiha Izunai's sake? Most importantly, she and Izunai were truly in love!

However, she couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise her mother-in-law might become suspicious or take the opportunity to blackmail Izuna. So after taking a few deep breaths, Ye Cang said with a serious face, "Mother-in-law, for the sake of the Sand Village and the future of the Sand Shinobi, I, Ye Cang, am willing to accept the marriage."

Her expression contained three parts of misery, three parts of helplessness, and four parts of righteousness, which made Chiyo stunned. Finally, Chiyo cried, "I'm sorry for you, child. You sacrificed your own happiness for the Sand Village! Don't worry, the Sand Village will always be your mother's home. If Konoha bullies you, I, an old woman, will declare war on Konoha even if it costs my life!"

Chiyo is indeed an old player. Her acting skills are enough for those young players to learn for a lifetime! Of course, our Miss Ye Cang is not bad either. At this moment, her eyes are red. "Grandma, thank you! You must come to see me!"

Well, both of them are heavyweight actors. Chiyo's acting is mature and there is no flaw. Although Ye Cang is young, he will not spend too much money to marry his future husband, and his acting is also vivid and real.

The two wanted to hug each other and cry, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts. However, there was one thing they agreed on, that is, everything was for the Sand Village, everything was for the future of the Sand Shinobi.

It is precisely because of this common point that both of them were able to accept marrying into Konoha and giving back to the Sand Village.

After a while, the two of them adjusted their emotions, and Chiyo said, "Good girl, let them in. We have to let them know about this."

Ye Cang nodded. "Okay, I'll go right away!" After that, Ye Cang stood up with red eyes and invited Lin and Ebizo in. Then Chiyo recounted the story. Lin was puzzled. It can't be that serious? He was about to speak, but Ebizo grabbed him and winked at him, telling him to shut up!

In the end, Lin followed his uncle's advice and said nothing, but he felt deeply guilty towards Ye Cang in his heart. He didn't expect that after the leadership of the Third Generation and the Pseudo Fourth Generation Kazekage, the Sand Village would fall to the point where people had to marry women to ensure their safety.

This made Lin feel a little disappointed, and Chiyo noticed this, then changed the subject, "Alright, everyone, get ready. There's still an hour before the negotiation. Go wash off the dirt on your bodies so you can present your best face when negotiating with Konoha."

After saying that, Chiyo pulled Ye Cang away and continued to persuade her, telling her to remember to live a good life with Izuna after going to Konoha, and to endure any conflicts if possible. She also prepared a dowry for Ye Cang.

Uchiha Owl meant to let Ye Cang return to Konoha with the Konoha Ninja Army as soon as possible, so that Konoha's support funds could reach the Sand Village as soon as possible to help them develop their economy.

Ye Cang did not feel disgusted by this. He appeared mature and steady on the surface, but he was actually very happy inside. He thought to himself, "Izuna-kun, this time, I'm here to find you!"

Chapter 356 Signing an Agreement and Severing Contact

The Konoha camp has begun to move towards the border to make room for the Sand Village delegation. Otherwise, what if they dare not come to negotiate?

At this moment, a flash of light appeared in front of Uchiha Xiao. Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth rose. "Minato is back? What did Grandma Chiyo say?"

In fact, Uchiha Xiao seriously speculated and thought about the character of Chiyo, so he proposed the plan just now. He felt that there should be an 80% chance that Chiyo would agree, and the remaining 20% ​​would be a surprise.

Namikaze Minato bowed and said, "Teacher, these are the exact words of Chiyo..."

Uchiha Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Good! This is well done! As expected, Minato, you didn't let me down!"

Minato Namikaze scratched his head. At this moment, he was like a child in front of Uchiha Owl, not as mature and steady as he was when he was in the Sand Village camp.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Uchiha Xiao glanced at the back of Uchiha Izuna who was commanding the army in front, smiled secretly, and then walked towards the figure behind him, Uchiha Madara.

He gently touched Uchiha Madara's shoulder and said, "Grandpa, come here. There's something good going on!"

Uchiha Madara frowned. Good news? What good news? Didn't you see that I didn't talk to Izuna all the way, and was always worried about his marriage?

"If you have something to say, just say it now! Don't keep me in suspense!" Uchiha Madara glared at him. If you have this time, you might as well think about how to help your grandfather win the person he likes! Really!

Uchiha Xiao's mouth twitched, but he saw that his grandfather was upset at the moment, so he didn't keep him in suspense, but whispered a few words in his ear.

The change in Uchiha Madara's expression was also very obvious. He looked at Uchiha Owl with admiration in his eyes. "Well, well done!"

Uchiha Madara's big hand was about to slap Uchiha Xiao's shoulder, but Uchiha Xiao quickly dodged sideways. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't think that I have to accommodate you just because you are older than me!"

Don't you know how strong your own hand is? Really! But Uchiha Xiao could only complain in his heart.

Uchiha Madara was stunned, but didn't care. "How about explaining it to the village? After all, someone died this time!"

Uchiha Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Then you will have to pay for it, Grandfather. This money can be considered as a gift to Grandpa."

Uchiha Madara was about to refute, but after thinking carefully, he decided to agree.

After all, he is my only younger brother, and I can't just sit there and watch him become a bachelor.

"Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. Please play your best during the negotiations and try to negotiate this matter as quickly as possible.

Uchiha Xiao expressed his understanding and nodded, "Don't worry! I know what's going on with this matter.

After saying that, Uchiha Xiao stopped talking and followed the army towards the distant border.

When Uchiha Xiao and others reached the border line, he clapped his hands and used the Wood Release: Three Rooms and Two Living Rooms Technique!

With a loud crash, the tree roots rose from the ground and then turned into a wooden house. The accompanying personnel were stunned. They did not expect that Wood Release could be used in this way. Even Uchiha Madara was deeply moved at this moment.

Why didn't he think of Wood Release being used to build a house? Oh, that's right, when he duelled with Hashirama Senju, Wood Release was used in battle. Such a ninjutsu was not something Hashirama Senju would consider. If Hashirama Senju didn't consider it, what else would Uchiha Madara consider?

Today he was enlightened. He felt that his eldest grandson, Uchiha Owl, could definitely publish a book. He even thought of the name: One Hundred Applications of Wood Release.

Uchiha Owl asked his grandfather, Uchiha Izuna, to settle the army and come back to negotiate in the house in a while. Uchiha Izuna nodded and said it was no problem. Then he settled the army ten kilometers away from the border in the territory of the Land of Fire. After instructing Namikaze Minato to manage it, he rushed towards the wooden house built by Uchiha Owl.

Several people entered the house, Uchiha Owl, and soon the voice of Sarutobi Shinnosuke came in.

"Hokage, Chiyo and the higher-ups from Sand Village are here to visit." Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't call him teacher, but he still remembered it by referring to their positions when they were working.

Uchiha Xiao was stunned. What a guy, coming so quickly? Then he stood up and said, "Everyone, follow me out to meet the leaders of the Sand Village!"

Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha with the spotted head, followed Uchiha Owl and walked towards the door.

Pushing open the door, Chiyo walked in front, followed by Ebizo, Lin, and Ye Cang. Their expressions were calm at the moment and it was impossible to tell their emotions, which made Uchiha Xiao nodded. Well, that's right, that's right.

Then he said with a smile, "Oh! What wind has brought our Chiyoko here? Come in, come in, Shinnosuke, go boil some water and prepare some tea."

Chiyo's mouth twitched. You are pretending quite well, but looking at your lineup, I feel a little scared. The three most powerful Uchiha warriors are also the top warriors in the ninja world.

Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Owl, any one of you three can single-handedly challenge all the Sand Village high-ranking officials present, so is there a need to make such a grand ceremony!

"Yes! Lord Hokage, I'll go right away!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out a kettle that he got from somewhere, poured the drinking water directly into it, then walked into the house, found the stove, and lit it to boil water.

This was in the wild, there was no electricity, so they had to make do with what they had. Chiyo and the others were politely invited into the house by Uchiha Xiao. When Uchiha Xiao looked at Ye Cang, his eyes flashed.

Uchiha Izuna stared at Ye Cang's beautiful back without saying anything. At this moment, the two of them represented Konoha and Sunagakure. The difference in their positions meant that even if they had many emotions, they had to restrain themselves.

"Granny Chiyo, I heard from my good-for-nothing apprentice that you agree to my conditions?" Uchiha Xiao smiled, then sat on the chair and stretched out his hand to motion Grandma Chiyo to sit on the chair opposite.

Chiyo looked at Ye Cang with some guilt, then looked at Uchiha Izuna, brainwashing herself that all this was necessary for the Sand Village. Besides, Izuna was also handsome, so there should be no problem entrusting Ye Cang to him.

"Of course, Lord Hokage. Both I and Ye Cang have agreed to your proposal. I don't know about you..." Chiyo glanced at Uchiha Izuna and didn't make her words clear.

Because she found that Quannai didn't seem to know about this. At this moment, his eyes widened and he was a little confused. "Brother! Grandson, what on earth did you do without telling me? Why did you involve Miss Ye Cang?"

He was a little angry at the moment. He didn't understand what it was that couldn't be told to him, and this matter involved Miss Ye Cang?

Uchiha Madara also saw his brother like this for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Is this still the little angel who obeyed him in everything? Now he dares to question me!

Uchiha Xiao said calmly, "Grandpa, I heard that you like Miss Ye Cang, so I mentioned it to Elder Chiyo. Elder Chiyo is open-minded and is willing to agree to this matter and fulfill your relationship with Miss Ye Cang."

Uchiha Izuna was stunned. He hadn't expected this to happen! Wait, how did Uchiha Xiao know about this? And why would Chiyo be so kind? She agreed to this so easily?

He frowned, waiting for Uchiha Xiao's next words. Uchiha Xiao sighed. Why should people live so clearly? But after all, he is his blood grandfather. It's better not to hide it from him!

"I came to negotiate with you with the conditions of exempting you from the war reparations, forming a friendly alliance with the Sand Village in the future, and supporting their economic development. Why are you not satisfied, Grandpa?" Uchiha Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Uchiha Izuna.

Uchiha Izuna was about to say "I..." but when he saw Ye Cang's bright eyes and slightly raised mouth corners, he finally suppressed his emotions. His expression relaxed and he said, "I have no objection."

"Granny Chiyo, you have seen that the person on my side has also agreed, so please sign this agreement." Uchiha Xiao unfolded the agreement on the table and handed it over.

Grandma Chiyo turned it around and started looking at it.

The agreement is as follows

1. The top management of Sand Village agreed to marry the legendary ninja of Sand Village, Shoton, Yekura, into Konoha Village, thus severing their ties with Miss Yekura.
