Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated - Chapter 517 The Old Era Will Finally Come to an End

The pair of gray pupils were filled with dense red bloodshot. He looked around and confirmed that all the members of the Ninja Alliance were present. Then he slowly spoke,

"Everyone be quiet. What I am about to say will determine the future of our Ninja Alliance."

"Sasuke, who is it this time? Never mind, no matter who it is, I will never get involved. The Shimura family really has no money anymore."

As soon as Sarutobi Sasuke finished speaking, Shimura Ken, with a very dark face, stood up and tried to leave.

What about connections and backdoors? It’s all bullshit!

"Xianyi, don't worry. The source of this information is very reliable. It's not too late to leave after you listen to what I have to say."

Raising his hand to stop Shimura Kenichi who wanted to leave, Sarutobi Sasuke repeated the whole story of Uchiha Gin's visit in detail.When they heard that Uchiha Gin had also joined in, everyone present showed very complicated expressions. If the news came from the curly-haired man, it would be much more credible.

"Really? The Uchiha clan is willing to give up the position of Hokage?"

"If anyone else told me this, I would have beaten them out immediately, but this person is Gin-san, I believe he would not lie to me."

The reason why he could hold his grandson now was all thanks to Uchiha Gin's generosity in curing Hiruzen who had been diagnosed as a eunuch by a doctor. The deep friendship between the two was established from that time.From then on, Uchiha Gin was treated as a guest of honor by Sarutobi Sasuke and was received with the highest etiquette whenever he visited.

"So."

No matter what the matter is, as long as it is related to Uchiha Gin, it must be linked to money. The members of the Ninja Alliance, who have long been accustomed to this kind of operation, asked curiously,"How much is it this time?"

Time is running out, Sarutobi Sasuke doesn't keep anyone in suspense.

"hiss"

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard this. One hundred billion is not a small amount of money. The Ninja Alliance is not a big family. The 10 billion they could squeeze out to make connections was already the limit.

“Isn’t this too expensive?!”

"But."

Glancing at the Ninja Alliance member who raised the objection, Sarutobi Sasuke's red eyes gradually overflowed with the madness that only a gambler could have.

Just give it a try and don’t worry too much!

"Let me ask you one question now, do you want to get in the car?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Sarutobi Sasuke was known for his caution in the past, why was he so excited this time?"Family members, we only have one chance. If we can't collect 100 billion before dawn, when the noble representatives come to the village for a meeting, Uchiha Izuna's succession will be irreversible."

More than 100 billion?

If you want to talk about a lot, it can buy several cities, and if it is converted into paper money, it can be piled up to build several houses.

But if you use it to exchange for the position of Hokage, it would be a real bargain, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a bargain.

The first person to raise his hand was the pineapple-headed man from the Nara clan. As the person with the highest IQ and the longest vision among all the people present, he knew that he must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if they were really cheated, at most they would lose some money, but once the transaction was successful, what awaited the Ninja Alliance would be a rare class leap in a century.

Whether the ninja alliance composed of second-rate families can develop into a big clan like the Senju Uchiha depends on the result of this gamble.

"We, the Nara clan, are willing to sponsor 10 billion!"

"Very good! When my son takes over, the position of leader of the jonin squad will go to Nara alone."

Seeing someone respond so quickly, Sarutobi Sasuke's expression eased a little. He immediately chose to return the favor to the Nara representative who was so supportive.

"We, the mountain tribe, are also willing to sponsor 8 billion."

"Sponsored by the Akimichi clan."

"The rotating sleeping clan"

"The Mitomon clan."

"The Inuzuka clan."

"."

In the blink of an eye, half of the funds to the target were already reached. Sarutobi Sasuke felt warm in his heart, and he looked at everyone with tears in his eyes.

Shimura Kenichi lowered his head, replaying in his mind every detail of his childhood with Sarutobi Sasuke. After a few seconds of ideological struggle, his deep friendship overcame his low IQ.

"Sasuke! I'll trust you once more. The Shimura clan will sponsor 30 billion!"

"Kenichi, you"

"This money is what I have saved from raising pigs over the past few years. Don't let anyone cheat you out of it again."

Shimura Kenichi felt mixed emotions. This wave of events had turned his own coffin upside down.If he loses all his money, he may really have to give up his favorite pork head and eat porridge and pickles instead.

"I, Sarutobi Sasuke, swear here that I will never let you down."

Soon, the funds promised by various tribes arrived. Looking at the storage scrolls piled up like a mountain in front of him, Sarutobi Sasuke wiped away the tears of emotion from the corners of his eyes and made the promise with a sharp gaze.

Izuna, who was drunk at the family gathering, had already passed out. His wife, Mieko, could only help him take care of him and put him to bed to rest.

"Mieko, I finally have time to take you to grow lemons"

Uchiha Izuna, who was in a half-asleep state, suddenly grabbed his wife's hand and whispered,

"Really? You're already old, but you're still such a worry to me."

"Mother, I will take my leave now."

Uchiha Fuyou, who couldn't stand his parents' affectionate behavior, immediately turned around and ran away, fleeing from this room that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Fuyue, you go and sleep with Fugaku tonight, I'll take care of your father here." "Mother, come on, Fugaku has always said that he wants a sister."

"Get out of here!"

"Umm who!?"

"I am your brother."

Fugaku, who was half asleep, was awakened. After a brief moment of confusion, he opened his small eyes that were naturally fierce and asked in confusion,

"Ah? Brother Fuyou, what are you going to do?"

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head expressionlessly, then threw the still confused Fugaku back onto the bed.

As a brother, I work so hard, how can I let you sleep peacefully?

As the family was having a cordial conversation, a sneaky figure quietly approached the back door of Uchiha Izuna's residence.

"It should be right here."

Bang bang bang——

Creak~After a brief silence, the long-sealed back door slowly opened, and a handsome face with a slightly weathered look poked its head out. Under the bright moonlight, Sarutobi Sasuke recognized the person in front of him at a glance."Master Yingfu, you are fine."

"Chief Sarutobi, why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"

The expressionless "Uchiha Izuna" frowned slightly, as if he didn't know Sarutobi Sasuke's intention."Gin-san introduced me here."

"Uchiha Izuna" pretended to be angry. Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Sasuke immediately stepped forward and deliberately lowered his voice."Master Yingfu, I want to improve so much."

As he spoke, he pulled out a heavy storage scroll from his bosom and stuffed it into Uchiha Izuna's hand."Chief Sarutobi, what do you mean?"

The moment he touched the scroll, "Uchiha Izuna" scanned the contents stored inside. A gleam of success flashed across his eyes, but he pretended to refuse and pushed the scroll back.No, if you really don’t want it, then let go.Seeing the storage scroll that remained motionless no matter how hard he tried, Sarutobi Sasuke felt relieved and spoke with a little more confidence."Master Yingfu, time is running out. Let's be frank and not beat around the bush. Just accept it. This is a win-win deal."

"Aren't you forcing the old cadres to make mistakes?"

"Thank you, Master Yingfu, for your help!"

Sarutobi Sasuke was overjoyed. If the other party accepted the money, it meant that he agreed to the deal.

"If it weren't for my eldest cousin, I wouldn't have opened this back door for you at all."

"Uchiha Izuna" shook her head gently, but her eyes revealed another hint. Sarutobi Sasuke was ecstatic at the moment, but he was not blind. He immediately took out a scroll from his arms."This is the tea money I prepared for Gin-san. Please pass it on to me, Master Yingfu."

"I will hand it over to my eldest cousin personally. You go back and wait for the letter. Remember, don't let anyone else know about our meeting tonight."

"I know the rules, Master Yingsuke, please go to bed early~"

After watching Sasuke Sarutobi's excited steps disappear at the end of the street, "Uchiha Izuna" made sure that there was no one around, and suddenly a signature sly smile lit up on his expressionless face.

"Hehe~ It's so easy to make money now, and I got another 10 billion."

the next day,Uchiha Izuna woke up early in the morning with a pale face, and tremblingly supported his sore waist as he walked out of the house."Darling~ Come home early!"

Behind him, Uchiha Mieko, with a ruddy face and a smile on her face, stood at the door and gave instructions in a soft voice,

"I have a lot to do today. You can go to bed first tonight. I'll just find a place to stay."

Feeling weak inside, Uchiha Izuna replied with cold sweat on his forehead,"It's okay. I still have some great medicine that my eldest cousin gave me during the Chinese New Year. You can try it when you get back."

Uchiha Izuna almost stumbled and fell when he heard that, but luckily he was quite agile and didn't make a fool of himself at the doorstep. After stabilizing himself, he immediately fled.His first stop was the Minamigagawa Shrine in the Uchiha clan's territory. The clan members who had received the meeting notice had been waiting here for a long time. After last night's revelry, everyone's faces were more or less tired."I've met Mr. Izuna!"

Seeing Uchiha Izuna appear, all the clan members immediately stood up and saluted excitedly. The scene was so hot."I'm calling you all into a meeting today just to let you know one thing."

Facing the expectant gazes of his clan members, Uchiha Izuna decided to cut the Gordian knot and revealed the news that he was going to give up the position of Hokage.

"what!?"

The reason why Uchiha Izuna was unwilling to take the position of Hokage was not only because he did not have a white-haired man to boss him around, but also because of his long-missing elder brother Uchiha Madara.

Seeing Uchiha Izuna's true feelings, the clan members' chaotic voices gradually calmed down, and each of them had extremely complicated emotions in their eyes.

The position of village chief is indeed precious, but compared with the outstanding clan leader Uchiha Madara, the title of Hokage becomes insignificant in the eyes of the Uchiha clan."That's right, right now there is nothing more important than finding the clan leader."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"But don't be disappointed, don't we still have the mirror?"

"Yes, we Uchiha still have a secretary!"

"Jing! Don't let us down."

The tribesmen who were originally feeling a little lost suddenly remembered that they had another outstanding representative, and the haze in their hearts was swept away.

Jing, who was highly expected by his tribesmen, felt more pressure, but he soon transformed the pressure into an endless source of motivation. His handsome face was full of determination.

"Leave it to me!"

Looking at Jing who was surrounded by his clansmen, Uchiha Izuna left with a smile, leaving the stage to the young people with a promising future.

Uchiha Izuna's second stop was the notary office where the election was held. Facing the respectful staff, he told them the truth about his decision to give up the position of Hokage.

The staff at the notary office widened their eyes in disbelief. This is the position of the Hokage, which is extremely powerful. You just say you don't want to do it?

Uchiha Izuna shook his head, and under the gaze of many staff members, he tore into pieces the employment consent form he had signed after winning yesterday.Watching the white snowflakes slipping through his fingers, his eyes were filled with inexplicable emotion.All those who had walked with him, whether they were enemies or friends, had left in various ways, and now it was his turn.

"I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship in the new era that can carry me." (End of this chapter)
