The tone of Uchiha Fugaku's question was very complicated, containing both strong desire and worry.

Hayama is a smart man who can always understand the role he plays. Before Yagura died, Uchiha Fugaku was his solid and reliable comrade. After Yagura's death, Uchiha Fugaku became the young leader of the No. 1 Ninja Sect in Konoha.

Ye Shan naturally became a weed clinging to this big tree to absorb nutrients.

It's definitely not groveling. In fact, all of Hayama's humility and forced smiles were given to the tolerant Konoha senior officials. On the contrary, he could only gain some dignity as a strong man from the proud Uchiha clan.

Many things in the world are like this. What most people praise may not necessarily suit you, but what is criticized can give you warmth.

No matter how much people in the village hate Uchiha, here in Hayama, the Uchiha clan is the clan of hope and love.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Hayama is to stick together for warmth and not to end sadly like the Senju clan and Hatake Sakumo.

Hayama took out the scroll, sealed the head of the dead Kirigakure ninja, and said, "What are you worried about, Fugaku? In other words, what are you afraid of?"

Uchiha Fugaku stiffened, with some bitterness on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You know the current situation of the Uchiha clan in the village. The opinion of the family elders is to move forward steadily and not to take risks."

Raindrops fell on Uchiha Fugaku's hair and slipped into his neck along the nasolabial folds on his face: "The Uchiha clan is no longer the Uchiha it once was. We can't afford any mistakes now."

Hayama put away the scroll, stood up, and said softly: "Except for life, the Uchiha clan has nothing to give up now, right?"

"Fugaku, I think you know what the acquisition of the Three-Tails means to the entire Uchiha clan. This does not need to be emphasized by a layman like me."

"What I want to emphasize is whether the Uchiha clan has lost its former spirit; whether the Uchiha clan has lost the glory of its ancestors!"

"Reviving the glory of our ancestors is difficult for a jounin trained by a family. Now we need a strong man, a strong man who can make everyone fearful."

"I once heard that your lord could make two Tsuchikages fight with just one look..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Shan suddenly disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he came to a mountain wall and smashed down a dark fist with all his strength, as if he was looking for something.

The hard mountain wall was smashed into pieces like tofu, but Hayama couldn't find anything unusual. He couldn't help but frown, wondering if there was something wrong with his sixth sense just now.

But Yeshan's sixth sense has never gone wrong on the battlefield, which he has honed through countless life and death experiences.

Shaking his head, Hayama swayed and returned to the opposite side of Uchiha Fugaku again, and continued: "Top strong men cannot be cultivated. At least there will be no outstanding ninjas in the Uchiha clan in a short time, so the capture of the Three-Tails will be

It seems very necessary.”

"Besides, now is the best time to capture the three-tailed tail. Didn't you find that it was a little sluggish?"

Hayama was right, the three tails were indeed very sluggish now. Even after getting rid of Yagura's control, they were still lying there quietly, as if hibernating.

Uchiha Fugaku's face is uncertain. He is not a decisive person. On the contrary, he is very indecisive. This is one of the reasons why he can gain the support of the clan elders and become the young clan leader.

He was very moved and wanted to follow Hayama's advice and take the three tails as his own, but he was worried about the troubles that would follow and was hesitant.

Hayama sighed deeply in his heart. Ninjas trained by big families have many advantages, but they are just not courageous enough to risk everything to fight for something.

It is understandable that ninjas from big families have too many things to take into consideration. It is unrealistic to expect them to be like desperate gamblers. Only profit can move them, so Hayama decided to add fuel to the fire.

"The chiefs of the Uchiha clan have always been appointed on the basis of merit. Fugaku, you have come out on top, but who can guarantee that your son will become the next generation chief?"

These words were like thunder exploding in Uchiha Fugaku's ears, causing his body to shake uncontrollably and breaking away the hesitation in his heart.

Yes, Uchiha Fugaku has suffered a lot over the years in order to become the young clan leader recognized by his clan. Although his father is the current clan leader, he has had no privileges since he was a child, and everything is the same as ordinary clan members. In order to become the young clan leader

, he negotiated with many competitors and was finally selected with a slight advantage, saving his father's face.

But not every clan leader's son can become the next clan leader. In the long history of the Uchiha clan, only a few can do so.

Thinking of the fate of the failed clan eldest sons in the history of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku shivered because he suddenly remembered the words written on those yellowed papers: destination unknown.

The Uchiha clan has always paid attention to the whereabouts of every Kaiyan clan member. Even during war time, the clansmen's corpses must be recovered, and there are very few corpses left behind. But why are the whereabouts of ninjas who are the sons of the clan leader mostly recorded as unknown?

?

Thinking of his virtuous wife at home and his infant but extremely cute son, Uchiha Fugaku felt a fire in his heart.

Uchiha Fugaku may not think about himself, but his son must live a healthy life in the future, at least not end up with an unknown whereabouts!

Uchiha Fugaku made a decision in his heart and stared at the three-tailed beast at his feet with fiery eyes. With the tailed beast, even if Itachi's ninja ability is not outstanding, so what? As long as Itachi becomes the three-tailed jinchuriki, he can still become the chief's key protection target!

At least a lifetime of prosperity and wealth is indispensable!

"You guy should be the second Danzo."

Knowing that his friend had made a decision, Ye Shan smiled and said, "Because I have a face that takes the blame?"

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hayama's face and said seriously: "Because you can brainwash."

"Hahaha"

Laughter filled the air not far from Kirigakure Village. Without any further delay, the two of them sealed the three tails hastily and left.

What Ye Shan didn't know was that not long after they left, a strange guy appeared at the mountain wall that he smashed. He stared at the direction they left for a long time with twinkling eyes, and finally disappeared like a ghost.

.

............

A few days later, the envoys from Kirigakure Village and the envoys from the Daimyo of the Country of Water arrived at the capital of the Country of Fire at the same time, and submitted two extremely harsh diplomatic letters to the Daimyo of the Country of Fire, especially the envoys of the Daimyo of the Country of Water.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country is required to hand over the culprit Baiyun Yeshan, otherwise the two countries will sever foreign trade relations.

The Daimyo of the Fire Country was confused and didn't know what happened. He sent envoys to Konoha Village overnight to ask the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. But before Sarutobi Hiruzen could react, dozens of people headed by the Uchiha clan

The family first issued an announcement.

The announcement extensively praised the governance, leadership, and strategic vision of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha senior officials, and claimed that under the command of the Hokage, a conspiracy of enemy ninjas to sneak into the old site of the Country of Whirlpool to plot secrets was successfully shattered and annihilated.

There are several ninjas from the enemy country and a tailed beast from the enemy country is captured.

To put it simply, the Uchiha clan did the thing, but the leader of the task was the Third Hokage.

For a time, the entire ninja world was in turmoil. Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure all sent envoys to Konoha Village with letters of condemnation to protest against Konoha Village's decision to break the first Hokage's policy of allocating tailed beasts.

Strongly condemned the Konoha Ninjas who sneaked into the Kingdom of Water without permission to burn, kill, and loot, and demanded that the Konoha Ninja Village return the Three-Tails, and hand over the culprits, the Uchiha Clan Chief, the Young Clan Chief, Hakumo Hayama.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so troubled by this that he broke his favorite pipe. At the Jonin Conference, he openly accused the Uchiha clan of being unorganized and undisciplined, destroying the relationship between the two countries in peacetime, and demanding that the Uchiha clan make peace with each other.

If there are three tails, they will be dealt with by the village.

But the meat has already been eaten in the stomach, how could Uchiha Fugaku give up? Under his instigation, his father, now the leader of the Uchiha clan, expressed a strong attitude at the Jonin meeting that this mission was assigned by the village to kill several people.

The actions of the Mingirigakure ninja were also authorized by the higher-ups, and in the end, they pointed out,

The trophies of ninjas in missions should be handled by individuals. This is a rule established when the village was first established. The Hokage has no right to ask for trophies and should not ask for trophies. Otherwise, breaking the rules will reduce the enthusiasm of ninjas to perform tasks, and then affect the village.

Fiscal revenue eventually led to a decline in the village's armament level.

What I said is watertight. The village's rule is that the loot belongs to the person who captures it. There is no doubt about this. But the question is, are the tailed beasts considered trophies?

However, the Uchiha clan doesn't care about that. Killing the three tails in one bite is a trophy. First of all, they stand on the moral high ground.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that his lungs ached. For so many years, he had been taking advantage of Danzo and taking the blame for everything. Now he had shouldered such a big blame for the Uchiha clan, and all he got was the head of a traitorous ninja and...

Three million bounty.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to force the Uchiha clan. The reason was very simple. They now owned a tailed beast.

Having a sword and not using it are two different things. The Three-Tails has now become the sword in the hands of the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan has naturally become the sword-wielding people.

I'm really in a hurry. At worst, I'll release the tailed beast and break up the two, and everyone will miss the good old days.
