Chapter 257

Seeing the reactions of the clan members in the shrine, Uchiha Madara's heart couldn't help but sink.

Then, Uchiha Madara took a shallow breath, then raised his head and looked at everyone: "If I want to leave Konoha, what will you choose?"

As soon as the words fell, the interior of the shrine fell into a dead silence.

I don't know how long it took, but the elder finally said with a shocked face: "Chief, we are living very well in Konoha now, why do you want to leave?"

Uchiha Haichuan was talking about you, not us. No one noticed this detail, but Uchiha Madara heard it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, others followed suit.

"Yes, Patriarch, we have managed to live such a peaceful life, why do we have to leave?"

"yes!"

"Clan leader..."

Madara Uchiha watched everyone's reactions with cold eyes. Sure enough, the Uchiha clan had fallen into this false peace and was unable to extricate themselves.

Izuna, I am going to live up to your expectations. I may not be able to protect the Uchiha clan anymore.

"Okay, I understand."

A minute later, Uchiha Madara ignored the high-level officials who were talking about it. He left a few words indifferently, got up and left the shrine.

At this moment, no one knew what Uchiha Madara would do next.

…

City of Dawn.

Back to December 10th.

"Lord Qianhan, the latest information is that Uchiha Madara of Konoha captured the nine-tailed demon fox and brought it back to Konoha yesterday, December 9th. Now the nine-tailed demon fox has been sealed by the Uzumaki clan. Details The location has not been identified.”

The ANBU ninja hurriedly came to the principal's office of Imperial Elementary School to report to Hagoromo Chihan.

After hearing the information, Chihan Hagoromo waved his hand and asked the ANBU ninja to exit the office.

Then, he turned and looked out the window at the campus and the energetic children.

The nine-tailed demon fox that was originally controlled by Madara Uchiha to attack Konoha was now captured by Madara Uchiha and sealed in Konoha.

The direction of this world is really becoming more and more confusing.

December 11th.

On the way from the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of Waves, an ANBU from Sand Hidden Village fell next to Lie Dou and Shamon.

"Master Kazekage, the latest news is that Konoha has captured the nine-tailed demon fox."

Although the Anbu of Sunagakure Village were not as powerful as Dawn and Konoha, they successfully delivered the information to their Kage one day later.

On the other side, Bai Lian and Nian Nian, who were about to arrive in the Country of Waves, also received messages from their own intelligence ninjas.

Chapter 304 Three Kingdoms Alliance

The history of ninjas after the Warring States Period is generally the history of the confrontation between Dawn and the Southern Three Kingdoms Alliance.

According to Akatsuki's later historical records, on December 12, the fourth year of Akatsuki, the first generation Kage of the three ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure met in the Land of Waves and held the first three-kage talk in history.

It was this meeting that roughly established the future structure of the ninja world.

The environment for the first meeting of the Three Shadows was undoubtedly very simple. In the center of the Land of Waves, Senju Hashirama made a round table and three chairs out of wood. This was the venue for the meeting of the Three Shadows.

"Hashirama-dono, Tobirama-dono has made the purpose of this meeting very clear, so let's make a long story short. What price can Konoha pay for forming an alliance?"

The first Kazekage crossed his fingers with his hands and covered them in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Sunagakure Village is covered with yellow sand, and there is nothing to say about it. If Sunagakure Village wants to develop, he must take advantage of this meeting to gain enough benefits for Sunagakure Village.

On the other side, the first generation Mizukage Byakuren also nodded: "That's right, Hashirama-dono, if you want to form an alliance, you must show enough sincerity."

Looking at the two figures from other villages on the left and right, Senju Hashirama scratched his head: "Huh? An alliance is good for all of us. Wouldn't it be better if we just sign the document to form an alliance?"

To be honest, the Kazekage and Mizukage's move of asking for benefits really confused him.

Now, the Kingdom of Dawn has put a lot of pressure on everyone. Wouldn't it be better if we all seize the time to form an alliance to fight against Dawn's invasion? What benefits do you want now?

At this time, the first generation Kazekage Reito spoke: "Your Majesty Hashirama, although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that among our three countries, Konoha's strength is greater than our Sunagakure Village and the Water Country Kirigakure. Village.

If Mr. Hashirama allows us to form an alliance without paying enough price, then if things go on like this, our Sunagakure and Kirigakure villages will only become vassals of Konoha.

Therefore, if Lord Hashirama really wants to form an alliance, then find a way to avoid the situation I mentioned. "

Hearing this, Senju Hashirama frowned slightly: "You two, the development of the village should rely on your own efforts!"

"However, the fact is that the natural environment of our two countries determines that if we develop alone, the strength gap between us and Konoha will only become wider and wider." The first generation Mizukage Byakuren said solemnly.

On the matter of strengthening their Ninja Village strength, Byakuren and Lieto have the same position.

After all, anyone can see the current situation. If Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village sign an alliance agreement with Konoha without taking anything, then Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village will really become Konoha in the future. vassal.

Therefore, in this alliance, they must get enough benefits from Konoha.

Otherwise, you won't get any benefits, so we might as well just play it all together.

At this moment, Senju Hashirama's heart was extremely complicated.

He originally thought that this alliance would be very simple. Everyone would just meet, sign documents, and then discuss strategies to resist Dawn.

But now, the talks had fallen into a stalemate as soon as they started, which really made him confused about what to do.

Standing behind Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama could see the struggle in his elder brother's heart, so he took a step forward: "Everyone, our Ninja Village has just been established a few years ago, and every village is in the stage of development. , no one has sufficient resources, and it is impossible for us in Konoha to give resources to you."

Byakuren seemed to have expected that Konoha would say this, and he immediately said: "That is natural. In terms of resources, our Kirigakure Village has the support of daimyo, and we are not short of much for the time being. What we need is military support. Just like tailed beasts.

Nowadays, Dawn has five, seven, and eight tails, three tailed beasts. You Konoha has two, four, six, and nine tails, a total of four tailed beasts. And our Kirigakure Village and their Sunagakure Village, It's just that each of them has a tailed beast.

Therefore, if Hokage-dono really wants to form an alliance, then separate the tailed beasts. "

After the words fell, before Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama could speak, the first generation Kazekage Reito took up Byakuren's words: "In Sunagakure Village, there is a Shukaku One-bill who has been sealed by people from a certain temple since ancient times. , the tailed beast already exists, no need for more, so;

So, unlike the Kirigakure Village, we want to ask Konoha for some of the rich land of the Fire Country, is that okay? "

After the words fell, Qianju Tobirama immediately couldn't bear it anymore: "Impossible, don't even think about this matter!"

Originally, more than a quarter of the northern territory of the Fire Country was occupied by the Kingdom of Dawn. The Daimyo of the Fire Country had been urging Konoha to help regain the territory. How could they cede the land to the Wind Country again.

Therefore, from Senju Tobirama's point of view, the Kazekage's offer of such a condition was simply provoking trouble.

"Your Excellency Feng Ying, you have passed the conditions!"

Byakuren was also feeling a little unhappy. In his opinion, the Kirigakure and Sunagakure villages should unite at this time and ask for the tailed beasts from Konoha. What kind of land do you Kazekage want? You have a sick mind.

"Unless the Fire Nation gives us fertile land, otherwise, I will not sign the alliance agreement!"

Lie Dou's attitude is very determined. I just want the land of the Fire Country and nothing else.

"Kazekage, don't have such wishful thinking, it is impossible for our Fire Country to cede land!"

"Kazekage-dono, you should put forward some realistic conditions."

"We don't need the extra tailed beasts. Fertile land is what we in the Kingdom of Wind need most!"

"Kazekage, you don't have any sincerity in forming an alliance when you say these words!"

"I already said that……"

boom!

Suddenly, the round table shook violently.

Lieto, who was arguing with Senju Tobirama, was immediately stunned. Bai Lian, who was advising Lieto to change the conditions, was also slightly stunned and looked in front of Senju Tobirama.

In everyone's view, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama's head suddenly hit the table hard. This move undoubtedly shocked everyone.

Senju Hashirama knocked his head on the table and closed his eyes tightly: "I know there may be many potential conflicts between us, but that is all because we want to protect our compatriots and families.

Sometimes, we may indeed do a lot of helpless things, and even if we make a three-nation alliance today, after we solve the Dawn problem, we don't know how long our agreement will last and how long everyone can abide by it.

However, I have always dreamed that one day we can put aside conflict, put aside hatred, and resolve our disputes in a peaceful way.

I implore you to make today the first step towards your dream. I sincerely, heartily, heartily, and sincerely implore you, let us unite!

Dawn's invasion requires us to unite to resist it together!

please! "

The sea breeze blew by, and the scene fell into silence.

'Brother...'

Senju Tobirama looked at his eldest brother, not knowing how to react.

You know, as the Hokage representing the Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire, it is absolutely inappropriate for the eldest brother to behave like this and bow to the leaders of other villages.

However, Qianju Tobirama's heart was filled with shock at his eldest brother's heartfelt speech.

So, at this time, he was silent.

Also shocked were Kazekage Reito and Mizukage Byakuren.

At such a close distance, the two of them could clearly sense that they were no match for Senju Hashirama. If they had not served as leaders of their respective villages, they would not have been willing to go against such a powerful enemy.

However, when Senju Hashirama was stronger than them, Senju Hashirama still made such a move. It has to be said that the two of them would never be able to do this if they put themselves in their shoes. .

At this moment, they had an emotion called admiration for Senju Hashirama.

After five or six seconds, Bai Lian finally said: "Okay, I admit that Hokage's words convinced me, but I still stick to my point of view. If Hokage sincerely wants an alliance, then Let's separate the tailed beasts.

After all, as the leader of one party, Mr. Hokage should know very well that only a balanced alliance will be more stable. If one party in the alliance is in a weak position, then the alliance is bound to have problems. "

After saying that, Bai Lian turned his attention to Feng Ying again: "Your Excellency Feng Ying, I can feel that Your Excellency Hokage is here with great sincerity, so please put away your unrealistic ideas.

Compared to the fertile land of the Land of Fire, the tailed beasts will have a more significant effect on increasing your village's strength. "

Liedou fell silent, closing his eyes as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

At this time, Samana;

His body shook slightly, and then Lie Dou opened his eyes: "Okay!"

The three-shadow meeting that lasted all morning was over.

In the end, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama believed that the alliance would be more stable only if the strength of the members in the alliance was more balanced, so the first Hokage planned to give the tailed beast to Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village.
