Chapter 33: Chapter 31 Crack
In the first year of Konoha, the five major nations established Ninja Village.
In the second year of Konoha, due to Senju Hashirama's proposal, the five major ninja villages jointly held the first Five Kage Conference.
In this Five Kage Conference, Senju Hashirama showed extraordinary magnanimity. He was obviously the strongest man in the world, but he was willing to lower his head to the Kage of other ninja villages, just for the ideal of peace.
Because he learned about Senju Hashirama's plan, Uchiha Madara, who completely disagreed with it, did not attend the meeting, and later privately attacked the shadows of other ninja villages with the intention of destroying the previous agreement and seeking to establish Konoha as the leader. World pattern.
In Uchiha Madara's view, the peace formed by checks and balances is very fragile. Only an absolute power can bring peace to this world.
But unfortunately, Uchiha Madara's ideas were not recognized by others. Even his Uchiha clan remained silent on it and had no intention of supporting it.
Years of war, killing, and death have made these people extremely afraid of war.
They long for peace and long for peace quickly, even if the peace in front of them is short-lived and false.
Due to the establishment of the five great ninja villages, the world entered a period of relative peace and development. War disappears and is replaced by diplomatic competition.
The Country of Whirlpool is located in the south of the Country of Fire, but it is also close to the Country of Water, so it is the object of competition between Konoha Village and Kirigakure Village.
In order for peace to continue smoothly, and for Konoha to exist smoothly in the future as the hub of peace, Senju Hashirama personally led people to visit the Uzumaki Ninja Village.
The Uzumaki clan is a distant relative of the Senju clan, and they are very confident in visiting Senju Hashirama this time.
However, when Senju Hashirama came to Uzumaki Ninja Village, he was rejected.
They didn't even enter the gate of Uzumaki Ninja Village. They were stopped one kilometer away from the Uzumaki Ninja Village and were told that they were not welcome here.
"Damn it, you actually neglected us like this. What are those guys from the Uzumaki clan going to do?" Senju Tobirama said unhappily, crossing his arms.
Not to mention that Konoha is the largest ninja village in the world, even if it is simply a distant relative between the Senju and the Uzumaki clan, they should not be treated like this.
"Haha, don't be so angry. Maybe we offended them unintentionally, or is there some misunderstanding?" Senju Hashirama said with a cheerful smile.
Although they were expelled, Senju Hashirama did not give up completely. They waited in a nearby town and then sent an envoy to the Uzumaki Ninja Village to make contact.
Senju Hashirama's envoy was received by the ninjas of Uzumaki Ninja Village, and also met the elders of the Uzumaki clan.
It was only at this time that the rest of the Uzumaki clan learned about this matter.
"Mito, I think you should give us an explanation." Uzumaki Ashina looked seriously at Uzumaki Mito who was sitting on the left, with deep dissatisfaction in his voice.
"I just made the choice that is best for the family. Is there anything I need to explain?" Uzumaki Mito asked.
"What's the best choice for the family? Alienating the Senju? Offending Konoha? Offending the man called the God of Ninja? Are you kidding me?" an elder said angrily.
"Is it terrible to offend Konoha? The prophecy of Konoha Village, the prophecy of the tailed beast being captured, and the prophecy of the five great ninja villages dividing the tailed beast equally, these have all been confirmed in turn. Then didn't you think of the words of the child of destiny?" Uzumaki Mito was very strange about that elder, his eyes seemed to be questioning his IQ.
"In the Sage's prophecy, the Child of Destiny comes from the whirlpool. So, why do we give the Child of Destiny to Konoha? Wouldn't it be better to stay in our own Ninja Village?"
"However, the child of destiny in the prophecy is the jinchuriki of Konoha. Several generations of jinchūriki of Konoha have been from the Uzumaki clan. Maybe it is because of this that the child of destiny was born in the Uzumaki clan." An elder retorted.
"That's just maybe, we should make a bet, is a child of destiny more valuable, or a friendly relationship with Konoha?" Uzumaki Mito asked.
"Even if you want to keep the Child of Destiny in the clan, there is no need to turn against Konoha." A very old elder sighed.
"It will take decades for the Child of Destiny to be born. It is not surprising what will happen in these decades. The decisions made now will probably be changed by then. Will it be possible to ensure that all clan members are in the clan by then? It's an unknown. In this case, it's better to cut off the relationship from the beginning and eliminate that possibility," Uzumaki Mito replied firmly.
"Are you kidding? Cutting off the relationship with Konoha is equivalent to cutting off the relationship with the Country of Fire. Have you ever thought about the consequences of that? Do you think that with such a small territory and population of the Country of Whirlpool, you can To support the consumption of the Uzumaki clan?"
"That's right, that's right. As a result, we are isolated and helpless. Maybe our family will be destroyed before the son of destiny is born."
"We can form an alliance with the Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water. I believe they will need us more." Mito answered easily. It could be seen from her calmness that she had long expected that someone would raise these questions.
The elders raised questions one after another, and Mito resolved them one after another.
She was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, with a calm and calm demeanor. Compared to those guys who were so angry that they were gritting their teeth and having veins in their heads, it was clear from this posture that she was completely victorious.
However, sometimes being reasonable may not necessarily lead to final victory. Numbers are an overwhelming advantage at certain times.
"Okay, everyone, shut up." Uzumaki Ashina raised his hand to stop the gradually chaotic scene.
"Mito, your idea is very good. If you can keep the Child of Destiny in the Uzumaki clan, then our Uzumaki clan will definitely become the de facto largest clan. However, you are too idealistic. If you and Mu If the leaves turn against each other, it will be very dangerous for the Uzumaki clan," Uzumaki Ashina concluded.
Uzumaki Mito frowned and wanted to say something else.
"I said, shut up, at least now I am still the clan leader." Uzumaki Ashina suddenly glared and said with anger.
Looking into his father's eyes, Uzumaki Mito instantly understood his true thoughts.
'In his opinion, he is still the patriarch of this family, and such a big matter should be discussed with him first and cannot be decided by me. He is still greedy for the power in his hands. At such an old age, why not enjoy it? ' Uzumaki Mito felt very helpless.
Mito was right, Uzumaki Ashina was indeed greedy for power, and also because of the panic of gradually losing power.
Why not go enjoy it?
It's simple to say, but how can anyone who has never experienced it understand the fear of gradually losing everything.
No matter what, the Uzumaki clan finally received Senju Hashirama, and Uzumaki Ashina came forward to form an alliance with Konoha.
