I became the head of the Uchiha clan

The capital of the Fire Nation.

In a palace of the Royal Palace.

A long table was placed in the middle, and the daimyo sat at the end of the long table, still holding a folding paper fan and covering half of his face.

On both sides of the long table, there were many ministers from the Fire Country sitting on one side, and the third generation and an ANBU member sitting on the other side.

This ANBU member is a captain of the ANBU, a confidant of the third generation, and is responsible for the safety of his trip.

"This time the Hokage came to the country in person and I don't know what important matters he has."

A minister suddenly spoke.

The third generation pondered: "There has been a lot of public opinion in the capital recently, and there are many people who are slandering Konoha. The daimyo is wise and wise, so he can naturally see clearly what is true and what is false.

However, so many rumors broke out at the same time, and as the Hokage, I had to come in person to explain the truth to the daimyo.

At the same time, all doubts in the minds of ministers will be cleared to avoid conflicts between the capital and Konoha and to prevent accidents.

After all, the capital and the shinobi village are one and the same.

Moreover, so many rumors that appeared at the same time must have been deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives in order to alienate the relationship between the Ninja Village and the people of the capital.

The development of Konoha cannot be separated from the support of the capital. This time I have brought the elite ANBU of Konoha. They will find out the source of this rumor.

Clean out the many spies from various countries who have sneaked into the capital to make the capital safer."

The daimyo shook his folding fan twice and said with a smile: "The Hokage has indeed thought carefully."

"Hokage-sama, our current situation in the Fire Country is inseparable from Konoha. First there was a melee in the Rain Country, and then there was a confrontation between the Moon Country and Kumogakure.

Even if the Fire Country has good weather every year and its people are wealthy, they cannot withstand the consumption of this kind of war for many years.

Of course, I also understand the situation in Konoha, and there are not many ninjas who can also fight.

I don't know if Hokage-sama has any good way to solve the current dilemma.

As long as there are two years of recuperation time, in terms of material reserves, and the abundance of the Fire Nation, we can completely return to our peak." The Minister of Logistics took the lead in saying.

Sandai glanced at the Minister of Logistics in surprise. Among these ministers, he originally thought that the Prime Minister would be the first to attack, but he did not expect that it would be the Minister of Logistics.

The Ninja Village has the most dealings with the Minister of Logistics. After all, not only during war times, but also during times of peace, many of Konoha's supplies require compensation from the capital.

These all have to go through the hands of the Minister of Logistics, half of Konoha's life is in the hands of the other party.

"Kumogakure is unjust and has an alliance with Konoha. He saw that Konoha suffered too much in the melee in the Land of Rain, so he wanted to get a share of the pie and gain benefits from it.

I, Konoha, have killed many high-level officials of Kumogakure and captured one of their tailed beasts.

Tailed beasts are a huge deterrent to any ninja village. With only one tailed beast, we, Konoha, have achieved great success in the war with Kumogakure.

Konoha's high-end combat power has not lost any, and they can gather together at any time to sweep the Kumogakure camp in the Moon Country in one fell swoop.

Moreover, I have sent ninjas to Kirigakure Village in the Country of Water, and transferred part of the profits in exchange for Kirigakure sending troops.

Once Kirigakure sends troops, Kumogakure will face enemies on three sides, and the only way is to withdraw troops from the Kingdom of the Moon and stick to the mainland of the Kingdom of Thunder."

"Although Hokage-sama's idea is good, it is based on the condition that Kirigakure agrees to send troops. If Kumogakure also sends ninjas to win over Kirigakure.

Once the situation changes, I'm afraid it will become more dangerous, and the benefits that Konoha gave up by asking Kirigakure to send troops will eventually have to be compensated by the capital."

The finance minister spoke.

Two ministers from the capital spoke, one was the Minister of Logistics and the other was the Minister of Finance, both of whom had deep connections with Konoha.

The Minister of Logistics controls supplies, while the Minister of Finance controls the Fire Nation's annual allocation to Konoha.

If Konoha wants to develop, it cannot do without this money. This is the person who holds the other half of Konoha's lifeline.

However, Sandai didn't care much about these two people. He only cared about the daimyo's attitude.

As long as the daimyo has no objections to Konoha, even if the minister of logistics and finance are dissatisfied, they can only make vague concessions.

But I dare not express it blatantly. There is no shortage of powerful wandering ninjas in the ninja world.

These ministers do not have many powerful ninjas guarding them like the daimyo.

Sandai smiled and said: "Kumogakure himself is at his peak. He has never experienced a war, so he cannot give up too many benefits to win over Kirigakure.

The war with Konoha itself is full of uncertainties. Once Kumogakure gives up some of its interests to win over Kirigakure, Konoha wins in the end. I am afraid that both the villagers of Kumogakure and the people of the Kingdom of Thunder will be dissatisfied.

Having lost a lot of benefits for nothing, I'm afraid no one will be in a good mood.

As for the interests that Konoha uses to win over Kirigakure, they can eventually be obtained from Kirigakure through negotiations after the war is won.

Don’t forget that Kumogakure’s second tail is still in Konoha, just one second tail can be exchanged for all the benefits to Kirigakure, and there may even be some leftover.”

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire who was sitting at the top showed a smile on his face, shook his folding fan twice and said: "The Hokage really has a plan, and all the interests of all parties have been considered thoroughly.

I have some expectations that the Kingdom of Fire will win this war, and the Kingdom of Thunder will compensate the name of the Kingdom of Thunder for the ugly face."

The third generation smiled and said: "I will not disappoint the daimyo."

"All of Hokage-sama's plans revolve around Kirigakure sending troops, but as far as I know, so far, Kirigakure has not sent out any news to intervene in the war between the two sides."

A voice suddenly rose, it was the Prime Minister of the capital, and his status in the Land of Fire was second only to the daimyo.

"Prime Minister, you have underestimated Konoha. The Land of Fire has outstanding people, and there are many talented ninjas in Konoha, and there are many strong ones.

As long as we gather many strong men, it is not hopeless to defeat Kumogakure of the Moon Country."

"But as far as I know, the top management of Konoha transferred Uchiha Fugaku, who had made great achievements, back to the village because of the struggle for power.

The original war against Kumogakure has already achieved a huge advantage." said the Prime Minister of the Country of Fire.

There was no unexpected look on Sandai's face. These were just the rumors.

He expected that some people would make things difficult for him with the Uchiha clan.

"Fugaku is very powerful and is the next leader of the Uchiha clan. You should know the name of the Uchiha clan.

The family that Uchiha Madara belonged to back then."

The third generation glanced at it. When everyone present heard Uchiha Madara's name, they all had unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Uchiha Madara is powerful enough to suppress the entire ninja world, and only Senju Hashirama can fight him.

With Madara's pride, he would not talk nicely to these ministers whose abilities were just ordinary people, and he would probably embarrass these officials in the capital.

The third generation is reminding these officials not to forget the lessons learned from Madara Uchiha back then.
