Chapter 177: Uchiha Madara's reluctance! Undercurrents surge in the new year.
Twenty-three Years of Konoha
The daimyo's mission was completed, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay in Konoha for long.
A grand farewell ceremony was held in Konoha. The daimyo's trip was extremely elaborate, and the planning and preparation alone took an entire day.
All of Konoha's top leaders were present at the farewell ceremony.
"Hokage, you don't have to send me off anymore."
"After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. Your Highness, please take care of yourself."
"."
The two of them said goodbye reluctantly, looking like a king and his subject getting along well with each other.
The daimyo's carriage quickly left Konoha. Uchiha Nan stood at the gate of Konoha, watching the daimyo's figure going away.
"Come here, come here, cut down that forest for me."
"Hokage-sama, why is this?"
"He made it difficult for me to see the daimyo's back, blocking my view."
Camera follow!
Profile!
Hurry up!
"Have you finished filming?"
"The filming is over."
"Hey, what do you want to do with that axe?"
"Cut down the tree!"
"You really want to chop? We've already finished filming, what are you still chopping?"
After seeing off Daimyo, the New Year holiday finally arrived. Although there were only four or five days left, it was finally time to take a break.
As the Hokage, Uchiha Nan naturally accompanied his subordinates and worked overtime until the very last moment. After all, there were too many important occasions that required his appearance.
Even though Uchiha Nan was always slacking off, it was enough just for him to be there.
But even on holidays, Uchiha Nan's mansion was still bustling with people, and guests came to visit Uchiha Nan and give him New Year gifts one after another.
Because of the kindness of the Hokage, the year-end accounts of each ninja clan are still dazzlingly good compared to last year.
This year, Konoha's capital expansion was almost predatory, forcing some loyal ministers and generals of the Fire Country to secretly plan some treasonous things.
All the major ninja clans ate a lot of greasy food and were strong and fat.
Even the Senju clan had a good year this year, and Uchiha Nan intentionally allocated more funds to the Senju clan.
As to why.
Senju Momonaka and Uzumaki Mito knew it very well. Of course, it was because of the huge amount of money used to fill the bad debt of Hashirama's cell experiment.
There is also the agreement which involves the merger of family businesses and family marriage which will be implemented this year. This certainly cannot be concealed.
Senju Momoma picked an opportunity and revealed it to a small number of senior members of the Senju clan.
The top leaders of the Senju clan were very angry at first and demanded an explanation from Senju Momoka.
It is obvious that this agreement is mainly based on the Uchiha clan, which is a blatant violation of the core interests of the Senju clan.
"Even if the Uchiha clan is strong, we, the Senju clan, are not made of mud. Can we let the Uchiha clan do whatever they want?"
"So what if I have money?"
"The clan leader is confused!!"
"."
Then, Senju Momorama demonstrated his new power - Wood Release.
Some things can only be understood after you get them. In fact, that's just the way it is. Although the strength has seen a leap increase, Momoma Senju's Wood Release and Hashirama Senju's Wood Release are completely different things.
Your dad is your dad after all.
Senju Momoma accepted his fate.
But the symbolic meaning of Wood Release is extraordinary. The high-ranking members of the Senju clan looked at Senju Momorama with shining eyes.
Chief, I understand what you mean.
He endured hardships, humbled himself, and even fawned on the Uchiha, waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky.
The position of the Fourth Hokage belongs to the Senju clan!
"The Uchiha clan has deciphered my father's power, and they are willing to share Wood Release with the Senju clan. This agreement is the price.
I agreed. "
The top leaders of the Senju clan, who were still enjoying the future, were immediately dumbfounded and repeatedly confirmed the truth of this matter with Senju Momoma.
The God of Ninja World, Hashirama Senju, the supreme power of the Senju clan - Wood Release, was deciphered by the Uchiha clan, and then shared with the Senju clan?
Is this a New Year's joke from hell?
But...that's the truth.
For a moment, the leaders of the Senju clan went crazy and cried loudly.
One of the older men even bit his finger and wrote a big word "miserable" on his clothes.
Even though they don't want to accept this fact, they have to accept it.
"Master Clan Leader, how did the Uchiha clan obtain the power of Hashirama-sama?"
This is the biggest doubt of every senior member of the Senju clan present.
"This is the trump card that Uchiha Madara left for the Uchiha clan."
After discussing with Uzumaki Mito, Senju Momonaka and they unanimously decided to put all the blame on Uchiha Madara.
Because Senju Momorama naturally could not tell the truth. He secretly studied Hashirama's cells and was then captured by Uchiha Nan.
Finally, Uchiha Nan followed the clues and, based on his own experiments, really developed a mature Hashirama cell solution. He obtained his father's power - Wood Release.
Uchiha Madara fought with Senju Hashirama for a lifetime, and he was the one who was most familiar with Wood Release.
It makes sense that in order to deal with Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, he secretly developed some tricks, and when he left Konoha, he left some trump cards for Uchiha.
The most important thing is that Uchiha Madara is dead
There is no evidence to prove the truth!
It really makes sense that the top leaders of the Senju clan were speechless.
"Hokage, please promise me that in the coming year, five outstanding members of the clan will gain the power of our father, and there will be more in the future."
"So, I promised you what do you think?"
Then the top leaders of the Senju clan started arguing, not about the agreement, but about that precious spot.
Some of them are still very young, and some have young children at home.
Originally, they thought that it was very difficult to obtain the power of Hashirama Senju, and only Hashirama Senju's direct blood relatives would have the opportunity to get involved.
But... this thing can actually be mass-produced.
Lord Hokage, we really love you!
A dispute that could have caused internal strife within the Senju clan was thus quelled. The power of Senju Hashirama was so intoxicating.
Naruto House
"Why did you bring it if you just came?"
The patriarch of each family brought a pretty little girl with him.
"Who on earth is spreading the rumor that when giving gifts during the Chinese New Year, you must bring a pretty girl!
Who is it!!”
(Nara Shikato: Don’t cue)
Uchiha Nan was so angry that he really thought of himself as a bad person.
But since they are here, Uchiha Nan certainly can't turn them away.
Soon, a heavyweight guest came to Uchiha Nan's house - Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara still goes to see Uchiha Hikaru every day, and the two of them have become regulars at the arcade.
"There are quite a lot of people here." "This is a New Year's gift."
Uchiha Madara took out a beautifully wrapped box and handed it to Uchiha Nan, then followed Uchiha Guang into the room.
Obviously, when Uchiha Guang was addicted to arcade games, her potential competitors increased a lot.
The clan leaders present looked at Uchiha Madara's familiar hairstyle and subconsciously thought that this old man was some old antique from the Uchiha clan who came out to visit.
For a moment, Uchiha Nan's house was as lively as a party.
The girls who were there to make up the numbers laughed and chatted, occasionally saying a few words to Uchiha Nan and that was the end of the conversation. They were all ninjas from the same circle and almost all of them were classmates. They were very familiar with each other and hid in a room aside to start a tea party exclusively for girls.
The brightly dressed adults discussed family news while drinking and chatting, recalling the good times and then praising Uchiha Nan's wise guidance.
Next to Uchiha Nan on the separate sofa was Hinata Asuka.
She has always been very brave in expressing herself. I really don't know what ideas Hinata Laodeng instilled in her.
Uzumaki Yangyue was a little shy, but after several signals from Uzumaki Laodeng, she bravely rushed forward.
Tsunade has always been very bold. She went straight into Uchiha Nan's arms, but her breasts were still dry. The little girl's figure really did not arouse Uchiha Nan's interest at all.
Tsunade, when exactly was your puberty period? That gift from God couldn't have been artificially created by you.
Uchiha Nan was lost in thought for a moment.
Uchiha Hikaru is a tsundere little female kid who sits aside and stares at Uchiha Nan with her eyes.
"Uchiha Hikaru, I remember you said that Uchiha Nan likes you."
"I believe he didn't lie to you."
"But Uchiha Nan seems to like more than one person."
Uchiha Madara was nagging in Uchiha Hikaru's ear, as if he had not yet recovered from the injury he suffered at the last banquet. Now he began to slander Uchiha Nan even more fiercely.
Uchiha Madara, what are you talking about!
Uchiha Nan has been paying attention to Uchiha Madara, and heard Uchiha Madara mumbling to Uchiha Hikaru about love.
Uchiha Nan was overwhelmed after hearing this!
Uchiha Madara, could you please do something serious and work on your Rinnegan?
Do you know how to fall in love?
You're just talking nonsense there!
If it weren't for Uchiha Madara's strength, Uchiha Nan would have wanted to smash his head with one punch.
"Listen to me, Uchiha Hikaru. Men of the Uchiha clan must be conquered by strength. As long as you can knock Uchiha Nan to the ground, I guarantee that he will only be obsessed with you."
Evil words to confuse the public! !
Uchiha Nan was really anxious. Through his peripheral vision, Uchiha Nan discovered that Uchiha Guang's eyes were glowing red.
Uchiha Madara, you old bastard, is this how you want to subvert Konoha?
You have to continue to improve your favorability!
Uchiha Nan found an opportunity and pulled Uchiha Guang into a small room. After thirty minutes of in-depth communication, Uchiha Guang walked out of the room with a ruddy face and turned into Steam Princess again.
"Mr. Madara, Uchiha Nan was just acting for the sake of the situation. He is the Hokage of Konoha, and this is all for Konoha!"
After Uchiha Hikaru said something to Uchiha Madara, he walked to Uchiha Nan and left him there alone.
Uchiha Nan stroked Uchiha Guang's smooth hair and glanced at Uchiha Madara with a slightly provocative look.
Bang!
The cup in Uchiha Madara's hand was crushed.
This little episode did not affect the joyful atmosphere.
Come with joy and leave with joy.
The party lasted from morning to afternoon and ended only when Uchiha Nan's living room was filled with gifts.
Dark study room.
Uchiha Nan specially kept the industrial representatives.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries first, and the representative of the industrial faction said some cheesy words, trying to get closer to Uchiha Nan.
In the cooperation in recent months, both sides have made a lot of profit. The industrial faction only wanted to make money. If it weren't for the self-righteous nobles who were bullying them too much and always wanted to slaughter them like pigs, they would not have to change sides and offer their loyalty to the Hokage.
Now it seems that this decision was absolutely correct.
After the pleasantries, it’s time to get down to business.
"Hokage-sama, do you have anything to tell me?"
The representative of the industrial faction looked cautious, and it was obvious that Uchiha Nan had something special that he had to do alone.
"How is your influence in the Fire Nation's court?"
"If you need it Hokage-sama, even the Daimyo cannot ignore our power."
The representatives of the industrial faction smiled. Although they had always been in a weak position in the court, the power they could unleash when they joined forces would be feared by even the bigwigs.
"Very good. In the near future, Konoha will need your strength."
"I don't know about the conflicts between the princes of the Daimyo."
"What does Hokage mean?"
The industrial group showed a look of shock on their faces, obviously shocked by these words.
"Now, someone is eager to make the daimyo move his position."
Uchiha Nan took out a stack of information from the drawer. Everything about what the uncle of the second son of the daimyo had done in recent times was recorded on the paper in great detail.
The reason why ninjas cannot interfere in politics has been completely revealed. The outrageous things that those bigwigs did in private are like being stripped of their underwear in front of the ninjas, revealing their white buttocks.
"The second young master's uncle intends to rebel?"
The voice of the industrial representative trembled.
"Don't worry, Konoha won't get involved.
I think the current Daimyo is good enough. I will protect the Daimyo's life. This is Konoha's responsibility and obligation."
“But some people, if they really do something unforgivable, will always have to pay the price.
Many people in the court will be implicated, so many positions will be vacant.
As everyone knows, I am a ninja and it is not convenient for me to interfere in these matters."
"I am willing to serve the Hokage at my utmost."
The representative of the industrial faction instantly understood what Uchiha Nan meant.
Lord Hokage wants to promote them!
Cloud Hidden Village in the Country of Thunder
Hatake Sakumo's progress in the Hidden Cloud Village is getting better and better. Following Kakuzu's instructions, he carried out a series of charity activities in the Hidden Cloud Village during the New Year period.
Visit nursing homes and care for orphans in orphanages.
Try to build up a good reputation for Blue Sky Project Ltd. as much as possible.
At the same time, Hatake Sakumo was promoting it widely in the Hidden Cloud Village. The Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village led all the senior executives to invest a full 10 million taels in Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd.
Raikage has invested in Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd. Doesn’t this show that this company is conscientious and trustworthy?
Taking advantage of the reputation of the Third Raikage, Hatake Sakumo held one MLM conference after another and successfully absorbed large sums of money from the villagers of the Hidden Cloud Village.
"Sleep on the floor today, be the boss tomorrow!"
“We are the next billionaires!!”
"."
This type of slogan soon became popular in the streets and alleys of the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although the number of people willing to invest is not that large, the name of Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd. has been thoroughly established in Yunyin Village.
All that’s left is to scatter the bait and the fish will bite the hook.
