Senju Tobirama rambled on for a long time before finally stopping, waiting for Uchiha Makoto's answer.
He believed that Uchiha Makoto already had a countermeasure in his heart—in every sense, Uchiha Makoto was the most insidious, bastardly, and hopeless Uchiha he had ever seen in his life.
But he had to admit that this guy's brain was ridiculously useful.
"Tobirama, first we must find a way to create a big news story to divert part of the public's attention."
"In this way, the pressure we bear when investigating the case later will be much smaller."
"I have actually prepared for this long ago, but I don't know if you are willing to cooperate with me."
Uchiha Makoto said.
The best way to divert public attention is to create a more gimmicky event to distract them.
And as soon as Uchiha Makoto opened his mouth...
Senju Tobirama had a premonition that he was going to be unlucky.
He now seriously suspected that Uchiha Makoto had deliberately dug another pit here waiting for him.
Uchiha Makoto, this naturally evil Uchiha brat, just wants him to jump into pit after pit... until he completely falls into a pit and can never jump out again!
But.
The current situation is really not good.
The Lord Elder's whole family was assassinated, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was furious, ordering the Hokage and Kōkage to personally supervise, spare no cost to find out the truth, and hunt down the murderer.
The public opinion in the Land of Fire has completely exploded.
Such a big thing is not something the Akatsuki Ninja Village and he can muddle through casually.
Even if it's just going through the motions, someone has to be responsible for this. It is absolutely impossible not to kill some people!
And the final result found is... bandits causing trouble?
Where did so many bandits come from in the Land of Fire!
Do bandits have such great guts to assassinate the Lord Elder's whole family?
Undoubtedly.
Such a result will definitely make many people dissatisfied.
Can the Daimyo believe it?
Can the Lord Elder believe it?
Can those nobles believe it?
If these people casually set a rhythm, the national public opinion will explode again.
And external public opinion pressure will inevitably affect the investigation process.
How weird are the ninjutsu in the ninja world, enough to make the dead speak again.... If really forced by public opinion to investigate continuously.
God knows what trouble will appear?
So in the spirit of sticking the head out is a slash, shrinking the head is also a slash, Senju Tobirama plucked up his courage and asked.
"Do you mean finding a scapegoat, for example, like framing Takigakure last time, we can use war as a gimmick to quickly divert domestic attention."
As a ninja, Senju Tobirama habitually started solving problems with ninja thinking.
Find a scapegoat and completely remove himself.
Anyway, the Land of Fire has many enemies. The Lord Elder holds great power in the Land of Fire and must have offended many people over the years. They also have reasons to hire ninjas from other countries to assassinate the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire.
It can be said that such a trick is very effective.
In the Warring States period, Senju Tobirama played the trick of framing and blaming very smoothly.
—Those bad things were all done by the naturally evil Uchiha clan.
"Senju Tobirama, you naturally evil old Senju demon, how can you want to start a war with the outside world just for your own selfish interests!"
"Do you know, with the Lord Elder's identity, plus the current boiling public opinion, if we really do this, I'm afraid a ninja village will be completely removed from the ninja world."
"So many lives..."
Uchiha Makoto immediately flew into a rage.
Senju Tobirama, why are you so bad, wanting to destroy a village at every turn!
The Akatsuki Ninja Village has no plans for external combat now. The main task of the village now is just to develop the economy.
Being reprimanded by Uchiha Makoto like this.
Senju Tobirama was suddenly speechless.
Although this method is effective, it indeed hurts the innocent, but he just figured out Uchiha Makoto's thoughts and said this method.
And...
"It's not like you, Uchiha Makoto, haven't done things like framing and blaming."
"Don't pretend to be a gentleman with me here!"
"You just like watching the fun and don't think it's a big deal, you did it on purpose!"
After complaining in his heart for a while, Senju Tobirama didn't want to argue with Uchiha Makoto about these things, just wanted to solve the immediate problem quickly.
"Then tell me, what should we do."
"Remember the engagement... the engagement between my son and Senju Hashirama's granddaughter. The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are two major bloodline clans known to the ninja world. In terms of family history, even those Daimyo and nobles are not as deep. Plus the old grudges between the Uchiha clan and Senju Tobirama."
"Once the marriage alliance between our two families is exposed, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention."
Uchiha Makoto stated his method.
Not only that, but he also added some processing on the original basis.
"Not only that, we can also add a little gimmick to it, for example, the Sage of Six Paths, the god known to the ninja world. We can directly release news that actually our Uchiha clan and Senju clan are direct descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."
"Once upon a time, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan was the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, named Indra, and the ancestor of the Senju clan was the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, named Asura. It was just because the old guy, the Sage of Six Paths, was unfair in dividing the family property, too harsh on the wise and mighty eldest son, and very partial to the weak and useless second son Asura, giving all the family property to Asura, causing the brothers to turn against each other, leading to the endless hatred and war between the two clans for a thousand years!"
Uchiha Makoto talked about the old events of a thousand years ago.
The family history of the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan can be traced back to a thousand years ago, which was the era of the Sage of Six Paths, and the ancestors of the two families were the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Indra, and the second son, Asura.
It was just that the two brothers turned against each other because the biased old guy, the Sage of Six Paths, divided the family property unfairly.
Senju Tobirama's eyes narrowed slightly... he was accumulating rage!
He understood Uchiha Makoto's little thoughts. Now he was trying every means to make him give up the idea of destroying this betrothal.
That's fine.
Anyway, destroying this betrothal is indeed very difficult. It's not impossible to pinch his nose and completely agree to this matter at this time.
But!!
Uchiha Makoto, you naturally evil Uchiha brat, why do you open your mouth to spread rumors!
Our noble Senju clan and your evil Uchiha clan will not have the same blood flowing in our bodies!
The most hateful thing is...
It's fine if you, Uchiha Makoto, spread rumors that the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have the same ancestor.
At least this ancestor is the legendary god of the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths.
It doesn't bury the Senju clan.
But why is the ancestor of your Uchiha clan, Indra, the big brother, and wise and mighty?
My Senju clan's ancestor, Asura, is the younger brother, and weak and useless!
Isn't this deliberately adding private goods, wanting to take this opportunity to humiliate the Senju clan?
Really... if this can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated!
Uchiha Makoto, you naturally evil Uchiha brat!!!
"Now finally, with the efforts of our generation, the two families have reconciled, not only establishing Konoha but also letting the next generation tie the knot."
"You have to know, a marriage involving two bloodline ninja clans known to everyone in the ninja world, the legendary god Sage of Six Paths, especially with the god's family gossip. This is the most classic bitter ethical story of favoring the younger son, disliking the eldest son, and finally deposing the elder to establish the younger, leading to a broken family. Plus the grudges and love-hate relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan for so long... Say, how eye-catching this must be!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... dare not think, at that time, not only the Land of Fire but the entire ninja world will be shaken."
"How hearty it will be to eat this melon!!"
Uchiha Makoto didn't care about the other party's silence, instead speaking more and more excitedly.
He even couldn't wait to make this news public, thoroughly clarifying the source for the Uchiha clan.
Undoubtedly.
Since Indra is the elder brother and Asura is the younger brother, the Uchiha clan is the main branch, and the Senju clan is the branch!
In the past, it was because the biased old guy, the Sage of Six Paths, deposed the elder to establish the younger, causing the branch to usurp the main branch, eventually leading to a big mistake, making the two families fight for a thousand years!
Now this mistake must be corrected!
It is reasonable for the Uchiha clan to lead the Senju clan.
Of course...
The Uchiha clan definitely still can't produce a Hokage, but the Kōkage is also an Uchiha!
In the future, the legitimacy of the supreme Kōkage uniting Konoha will be even more unquestionable!
And Senju Tobirama listened and listened, his brain about to crash.
He was completely numb.
He knew long ago that Uchiha Makoto's integrity had dropped to a very exaggerated level, but Senju Tobirama has now seen it again—Uchiha Makoto's integrity bottom line is really far beyond his imagination.
Can he even fabricate such an outrageous story?
Why can Uchiha Makoto give him a different surprise every time!
Although sensibility tells Senju Tobirama that Uchiha Makoto has probably gone completely crazy, crazy enough not to know what heaven and earth are!
But rationally speaking... doing this might really work.
The content of this story is very rich, involving the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, two bloodline ninja clans inherited for a thousand years, the Sage of Six Paths, a god known to everyone in the ninja world, and deposing the elder to establish the younger, fighting for a thousand years because of competing for family property, such a delightful family ethical plot.
Once spread, it will be more eye-catching than the assassination of the Lord Elder.
At that time, who will have time to care about the assassination of the Lord Elder?
Probably everyone will go dig up the family history of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan to verify the rumors!!
Senju Tobirama thought about it left and right, and felt more and more that this method was feasible... but this is too f*cking outrageous.
Is it really worth sacrificing the reputation of the Senju clan to save himself?
"Uchiha Makoto, are you really crazy... to fabricate such lies just for attention!"
"Aren't you afraid that after death, when your soul returns to the Pure Land and meets the ancestors of the Uchiha, they will beat you up because of this matter?"
"Not afraid!"
"Why not afraid?"
"Because what I said is all true!"
Senju Tobirama said.
He really couldn't convince himself for a while.
Once these rumors mixed with vicious private goods spread in the ninja world, Senju Tobirama didn't know how to face the ancestors of the Senju clan after death.
However, through Uchiha Makoto's tone, Senju Tobirama knew that Uchiha Makoto, this bastard, wanted to do this very much.... And he had no room for bargaining now!
And Uchiha Makoto behaved very calmly.
Because what he said was all true.
The ancestor of the Uchiha clan, Indra, was indeed wise and mighty, with outstanding talent, inventing the ninja world's jutsu seals, allowing humans to master the method of using chakra. And the ancestor of the Senju clan, Asura, was indeed a useless piece of wood, relying entirely on the biased old guy, the Sage of Six Paths, to pass on his power to compete with Indra.
So let alone meeting the ancestors of the Uchiha clan, even if he met the Sage of Six Paths, he could confidently point at the nose of the biased old guy, the Sage of Six Paths, and ask, "Old man, did I tell half a lie?"
It's just.... these things that happened in the past have long been buried in the long years.
And in this era, the only people who can clearly know these things besides himself are the Sage of Six Paths back then, and Black Zetsu, the filial son.
"Crazy, crazy."
"Uchiha Makoto, how did you make up a story and deceive yourself into it!"
"I said, these are all true."
"You f*cking, you are determined to make the Senju clan lose face, right!!"
Senju Tobirama obviously couldn't accept the truth of the matter.
Facing the solemn Uchiha Makoto, he just felt that Uchiha Makoto deliberately wanted to spread rumors to smear the Senju clan.
The Senju clan doesn't need an elder brother!
"Tch~ Anyway, I just thought of such a way to help you divert public attention and quell public opinion."
"If you have other ways, you can also solve this matter yourself. Now I can wash my hands of it, right.... It wasn't me who sent people to assassinate the Lord Elder."
Uchiha Makoto said.
He was full of confidence anyway. At worst, he would completely wash his hands of it and let Senju Tobirama solve this matter alone.
"You dare to threaten me?"
"If the Daimyo of the Land of Fire knows about this matter...."
"Fine! I reluctantly agree to your method. I also completely agree to the marriage between my brother's granddaughter and your son, okay!"
"But those rumors absolutely cannot be spread!"
"Do you think Senju Hashirama will forgive you?"
"Fine... rumors can be spread partially, only that everyone has an ancestor, but the Senju clan cannot be the younger brother!"
"Do you still want to be Hokage?"
"Let's plan it.... How should we spread this truth to the outside world now?"
After a contest.
Senju Tobirama finally chose to compromise.
There was no helping it.
He was pulled onto the pirate ship by Uchiha Makoto, this naturally evil brat. Now the deed is done, and it has blown up completely. He can't settle this matter alone.
Now people are the knife and the chopping block, and I am the fish and the meat.
What can be done, what can be done!
Ancestors, sorry, this is all for Konoha!
