Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated - Chapter 516: Selling the Hokage Post in Tears

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He was surprised to find that the wine, which was extremely bitter just now, was now unusually sweet. A sighing expression immediately appeared on his face.“I didn’t expect that after following my heart, even the taste of drinking would be different.”

"You little brat, that's the mead I got from the Land of Earth with great difficulty!"

Uchiha Gin, who was bragging to his wealthy nephew, was startled when he heard this and turned his head quickly, only to find that the glass of wine his little cousin had just drunk was his own collection of fine wine.

Uchiha Izuna smacked his lips, and after a careful taste, he really tasted an exotic flavor, and immediately shamelessly asked for more.

"If you want to drink it, buy it yourself!"

This wine was smuggled from the Shangshuiliu clan by Uchiha Ginka at a large sum of money. It is not expensive, but the quantity is relatively scarce, and each bottle is extremely precious.

"How stingy."

Rejected, Izuna curled her lips and muttered something in a low voice, not daring to let Uchiha Gin hear her, for fear that this petty cousin in front of her would not give her the New Year's money.

When he thought about the good life in the countryside that was about to be far away from him, Uchiha Fuyou, who was somewhat unwilling, prepared to make a final struggle.

"He is the village leader and can provide many benefits to the family."

"We are short of these three melons and two dates?"

Glancing at his eldest son who looked unwilling, Uchiha Izuna asked proudly,“It’s not a lack, but I always feel a little unwilling.”

"The burden of being the Hokage is too heavy. I can't even manage a family. It's really too much to ask you to hand over the village to me."

Uchiha Izuna shook his head, looking very relaxed.In order to cooperate with his elder brother's work, he has devoted all his energy to the affairs of the village in recent years, thus neglecting the development of the family. The sacrifice rate of the clan members has also ushered in an unprecedented increase.

Looking back now, Uchiha Izuna regrets it very much. If he had paid more attention to his family, the sacrifice of his clansmen might have been avoided.

"My little cousin, when are you going to announce this?"

Giving up is no small matter, so Uchiha Izuna naturally needs to inform the tribe members first, and then go to the village to explain."Well, I have a stomachache tomorrow, so I'll ask for leave in advance. I won't attend the clan meeting."

After narrowing his eyes and thinking for a while, Uchiha Gin suddenly covered his stomach and began to seriously follow the leave system. As a result, he got a big eye roll from Uchiha Izuna.

"."

"If you don't say anything, it means you agree."

"Uncle, I'm going to take my father back to rest first."

"I won't take you there. Drive slowly."

When the father and son's backs disappeared, Uchiha Gin, who looked drunk, stumbled to his feet, felt his way along the wall and left the noisy clan territory without arousing anyone's suspicion."Phew, I should be able to eat one more at the end."

When they reached a deserted corner, the blush on Uchiha Gin's face instantly disappeared, and a dazzling brilliance burst out from his hazy eyes. His gaze locked onto the clan site where the Sarutobi clan was stationed, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.Sarutobi clan land,

But after eliminating all the wrong answers, the only answer left made him feel very difficult."The Senju clan! Too baby hot!"

Thinking of the 10 billion he had spent in vain, Sarutobi Sasuke's heart was bleeding.

Although the Sarutobi clan had made some money in recent years, they could not withstand such a waste of money. The treacherous Senju clan was really despicable!

"Just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will repay you double for the humiliation you suffered today!"

Bang bang bang——

"Who?"

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Sarutobi Sasuke frowned slightly. It was so late, who was so blind to come and cause trouble?

"Master Patriarch, we have distinguished guests."

Blinking in confusion, Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't imagine what kind of distinguished guest would come to his house in the middle of the night."Sasuke, it's me~"

"It's Gin-san! Please come in! Please come in!"

As the familiar voice sounded, Sarutobi Sasuke immediately stood up to greet him and invited Uchiha Gin, who had hurried over, into the room.

"Why don't you make a pot of tea for Yinsang?"

"Gin-san, you came so late, is there something urgent?"

Sarutobi Sasuke looked at Uchiha Gin, who was drunk, with some confusion. Shouldn't he be partying in the Uchiha clan's territory at this time?

When he thought of the Uchiha family winning two championships, his heart ached.

"Sasuke is in prison, and we are old friends. Let's be frank. We Uchiha have been tricked by the Senju this time."

You Uchiha have monopolized all the leadership positions in the village, are you still taking advantage of me?

"Gin-san, have you drunk too much?"

"I didn't drink. I couldn't drink when I encountered such a terrible thing."

Uchiha Gin shook his head, his tone suddenly became very low, as if he had something to hide."Appreciate further details."

Under normal circumstances, he would not have believed in the credibility and character of the Senju clan, but after experiencing the naked betrayal during the day, Sarutobi Sasuke had already lowered the credibility of the Senju clan by several levels.

"Sasuke, what do you think about the fact that we Uchiha have won two leader positions."

"I am inferior to you in skills, so I have to admit defeat."

Not sure if Uchiha Gin was stinging him, Sarutobi Sasuke sorted out his words and replied carefully,

"We are so envious!" "Do you think we are suspected of behind-the-scenes manipulation?"

"It must be. I put so much thought into it, but it still ended in failure."

When Sarutobi Sasuke thought about the 10 billion that had gone down the drain, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

"Huh, this is the meanness of the Thousand Hands. If a tree stands taller than the forest, the wind will destroy it."

"That's right, it was the Senju clan that interfered in this election, intending to make us Uchiha the target of public criticism."

"Ah this."

Sarutobi Sasuke was stunned when he heard this. His brain was working rapidly. After a few breaths, he imagined a conspiracy of the Thousand Hands against Uchiha.After Hashirama Senju disappeared and Tobirama Senju died, the balance of power between the Uchiha and Senju was broken.As the strongest fighter of Uchiha, Uchiha Izuna naturally became a thorn in the side of Senju, but no one in Senju could compete with him.At this time, Senju Hime, who inherited her father Kiin's name, appeared out of nowhere. She first pretended to cooperate with the Ninja Alliance to raise the expectations of the members of the Ninja Alliance, but she turned against them at the last minute and pushed Uchiha Izuna to the position of Hokage.

This move successfully transferred the resentment of the Ninja Alliance to the new Hokage. He pretended to be ignorant, got away safely, sat on the sidelines, watched the Uchiha and the Ninja Alliance fight each other, and led the Senju clan to reap the benefits.

Fortunately, I saw through Senju Feizhen's tricks, otherwise, the Ninja Alliance, which suffered heavy economic losses, would most likely point the blame for its defeat at the Uchiha clan.

"Thank you, Gin-san. Actually, I have also discovered the conspiracy of the Senju clan."

"Sasuke is in prison, you are worthy of it. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be kept in the dark until they die."

Uchiha Gin immediately gave a thumbs up, and the flattery made Sarutobi Sasuke feel a little bit ecstatic.

Sarutobi Sasuke shook his head gently, but the smug look in the corners of his eyes could not be wiped away.

"But things have come to this point, and we can't change the reality before us."

Even if he had the relevant evidence, it would be extremely difficult to bring down the Senju clan. Sarutobi Sasuke could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, thinking that he had paid for a lesson."Who said that! I'm here this time to turn the situation around!"

Seeing that Sarutobi Sasuke was about to give up, Uchiha Gin knew that he couldn't drag it on any longer."Gin-san, what do you mean by that?"

"what?"

"Gin-san, is that true?"

Sarutobi Sasuke's pupils trembled when he heard this. He had thought of thousands of answers, including the Uchiha clan taking the initiative to come to the door and resolve the misunderstanding with the Ninja Alliance, the two sides working together to jointly denounce the Senju clan, and so on and so forth.The only thing that was not taken into consideration was the possibility that the Uchiha clan would give up the position of Hokage.

"I know it's difficult, but I will do my best to convince my little cousin to consider the overall situation and not be greedy for the glory of the Hokage position."

"Gin Sang Dayi!"

After hearing the news, Sarutobi Sasuke could no longer sit still. He stood up excitedly and looked at Uchiha Gin, who was very righteous. After a few breaths, his expression dimmed again.

“But this is a bit too difficult, isn’t it?”

The position of Hokage is not an idle position. As the head of the village, the Hokage is already the pinnacle of power in the village. Sarutobi Sasuke can't help but express doubts about this persuasion.

"How can I help you?"

Finally got hooked!"It is not convenient for your Ninja Alliance to intervene in this matter. You also know how tempting the position of Hokage is. Even if my cousin knows the conspiracy of the Senju, he will not give up easily."

"That's true."

He nodded in agreement. For the position of Hokage, he donated 10 billion in start-up funds without even blinking an eye."but."

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin paused, successfully arousing Sarutobi Sasuke's curiosity.

"Sasuke, there is something you may have heard."

"What's the matter?"

"You know about the Uchiha Clan Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"Yes, it is the Chamber of Commerce led by Izuna's eldest son. The business was good in the past few years and it was quite successful, but this year..."

“What’s wrong this year?”

"Alas, that kid named Fuyou was cheated this year and lost everything in business. The loss was so huge that even if my cousin lost everything he had, he couldn't make up for the loss."

Uchiha Gin shook his head with a sigh, and it was obvious that he was deeply sorry for the loss of Uchiha Fu.

"It's the Wave Country. Their Chamber of Commerce has official background. In this matter, it's not unfair for the rich kid to lose."

"The Land of Waves is so evil!"

Sarutobi Sasuke had also heard a little about the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce that had risen in recent years. They controlled a large area of ​​sea routes and basically monopolized the maritime transportation industry. To say that they made a fortune every day was an insult to them."Sasuke is in prison. If someone can help him out at this time, I believe my little cousin will be able to make the right decision based on his character."

Uchiha Gin sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his expression."I understand, Gin-san."

"As expected of Sasuke, I like to communicate with smart people."

"I wonder how much money Uchiha Fuyou lost in his business. Gin-san, tell me a number so I can be prepared."

"Ah~ It's better if you don't say it. My heart trembles when I say it."

Uchiha Gin took a sip of the fragrant tea, with a lingering fear on his face. After putting down the teacup, he slowly stretched out a finger."Ten billion?"

One hundred billion can buy a Hokage position, so just be happy!"call"

Seeing Uchiha Gin's solemn face, Sarutobi Sasuke was almost shocked to death. He quickly stuffed a quick-acting heart pill into his mouth and finally felt better.

"Gin-san, this is a serious matter, I need to have a small meeting."

"Sasuke is in jail. The noble representatives will arrive early tomorrow morning. You don't have much time to raise funds." (End of this chapter)
