Chapter 287 Why is Curly ranked above me?

Although the plan explained by Uchiha Gin was somewhat constructive in the eyes of Senju Hashirama and others, the sudden establishment of a position at the same level as Hokage was not something they could decide in a few words.

First, it had to be approved by the daimyo, and secondly, it needed to be approved by the ninja clan and the villagers, so Senju Tobirama decided to record the plan first, hoping to wait for it to be perfected before making it public.

"I just want to get high, if it doesn't work, forget it."

Seeing that Senju Tobirama was silent, Uchiha Gin thought that the random plan was too crude, so Bai Mao fell into silence, and then scratched his head in embarrassment,

"Brother Yin, your idea is very novel, I think it's good."

Senju Hashirama nodded with a smile on his face. As he spoke, his eyes fell on Uchiha Madara beside him, his thoughts clearly revealed.

"Hmph~"

Feeling the burning gaze, Uchiha Madara immediately straightened his back, looking proud.

"It is too hasty to suddenly increase leadership positions. This plan still needs to be considered."

Senju Tobirama, who was making a rough note, looked at Uchiha Madara, who was flirting with his eldest brother, and frowned slightly. There was no agreement in his words, but there was no objection either.

"Ah! Then can my prison work be solved?"

Seeing that everyone did not reject his suggestion, Uchiha Gin rubbed his hands excitedly and asked eagerly,

"You go back and wait for news."

"Okay~"

After getting the answer he wanted, Uchiha Gin was about to leave, but found that it was already dinner time. He couldn't help but pick up his dedicated cousin and leave the Hokage Building.

"Let's go, let's go, my cousin is in a good mood today, please go outside and have a good time~"

Uchiha Madara, who was forcibly brought out, looked at the back of his eldest cousin, a hint of gratitude flashed in his cold eyes. After pondering for a long time, he said softly,

"Cousin, thank you."

In Uchiha Madara's view, the plan proposed by Uchiha Gin before was completely tailor-made for him. He was worried that he would not be able to hold the position of Hokage, so he created this post specifically.

"We are all brothers, so there is nothing to thank you for!"

Isn't it just a meal? How come this kid Uchiha Madara has become so polite now? It's completely contrary to his personality.

"I will try my best!"

After understanding his elder cousin's painstaking efforts, Uchiha Madara was very moved, and then he clenched his fists and said with confidence.

"ha?"

This guy wants to make me poor?

Confused by Uchiha Madara's weird behavior, Uchiha Gin frowned in confusion, turned around and took him into a noodle shop.

"Welcome!"

"Boss, bring me a bowl of miso ramen~"

After greeting the ramen shop owner familiarly, Uchiha Gin turned to look at his elder cousin and waved his hand proudly.

"This is a new delicacy I discovered recently, just eat it with an open belly!"

"."

However, Uchiha Madara looked up at the barren menu on the wall of the noodle shop, and finally ordered the same style of miso ramen with a bit of laughter.

"Uh? Why don't you add Naruto roll? Their ingredients taste good~"

"No, I hate Naruto-maki."

"Tobirama, do you think Brother Yin's suggestion is feasible?"

After Uchiha Madara left, the Senju brothers who were left alone in the office began to have a secret discussion about the plan just now. Senju Hashirama had a serious look on his face and looked at his brother with bright eyes.

"To be honest, this plan does have merit."

Senju Tobirama nodded when he heard this. If the two of them govern Konoha together, although there may be differences, they will avoid being arbitrary to a certain extent.

Also, if something unexpected happens to the leader of the village, another person can immediately step in to suppress the unstable factors and prevent the situation from developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"That's good, hurry up and write up a perfect plan, and I'll take it to the daimyo to see."

Since Senju Tobirama thought it was okay, Senju Hashirama immediately stood up, eyes flashing with excitement, and repeatedly urged his brother to write a report quickly.

"Don't be impatient. Have you decided who will serve as the village party secretary?"

Senju Tobirama, who looked slightly cold, raised his hand to signal Senju Hashirama not to worry. He stared straight at his elder brother with his scarlet eyes and tortured his soul.

"Of course it's the motor!"

There is no need to think about it. When the time comes, oneself and Motora will be in charge of the outside and the other inside. The cooperation will be called a close, husband and brother, working together to make Konoha's business prosperous.

Upon hearing this, Senju Tobirama immediately showed a "Sure enough" expression, shook his head with black lines on his head and sighed,

"Oh~ I knew that you were completely obsessed with that guy and couldn't find any answers!"

"Huh? I didn't!"

Feeling that he had been unfairly wronged, Senju Hashirama denied it repeatedly, but he never dared to look directly into Senju Tobirama's eyes.

"Brother, you have to know that becoming a leader requires not only corresponding talents, but also strong skills and a charisma that can convince people. Do you think that guy Uchiha Madara has these basic elements?"

Senju Tobirama has always been wary of the emotionally unstable Uchiha clan, even though he has an Uchiha disciple, and his daily contacts have made him have a slight change in his view of Uchiha.

However, all Uchiha cannot be generalized. Mirror is a curly hair!

"Tsk, but I think the motor is fine."

After listening to Senju Tobirama's words, Senju Hashirama lowered his head silently, with a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes, but he still raised his head firmly and spoke for his best friend.

"You think it's not enough. From the establishment of Konoha to now, has Uchiha Madara made any significant contributions to the village?"

Facing his stubborn elder brother, Senju Hashirama sighed slightly in his heart, took two steps, leaned in front of Senju Hashirama's desk, and asked,

"Yes, yes, wasn't it Motora who helped catch the tailed beast?"

Speaking of contribution, Senju Hashirama immediately became energetic and raised his hand to answer,

"Well, this doesn't count. He is competing for the position of Hokage. That's selfish!"

"Then he helped me carve the Hokage Rock~"

"That is your personal relationship and has nothing to do with the village!"

"He paid for the Hokage Building!"

"Ahem, let's talk about personality charm."

Being almost choked by Senju Hashira's indirect words, Senju Tobirama quickly stopped the topic of contribution and turned to the competition of personality charm.

"I guarantee with my personality that Madara's personality is absolutely upright! As for charm, what else can I say? Madara is recognized as a handsome man in Konoha~"

Indeed, as Senju Hashirama said, on the list of handsome men and beautiful women circulated in Konoha, Madara Uchiha has always been at a high position. Relying on his cold and handsome appearance, he has gained the support of a large number of fans.

"Recognized?"

Senshou Tobirama really didn't know about this. He had been immersed in work and had no time to understand such gossip.

"That's right, Konoha has a list of handsome men, and Madara has always been at the top."

As the unknown promoter of this list, Senju Hashirama answered very seriously,

"By the way, Tobirama, you are also on the list, but your ranking is not very high."

Looking at the wrinkled Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama thoughtfully told him his ranking.

"Am I here too? Let's take a look!"

Senju Tobirama, who was not very interested at first, reached out his hand out of curiosity. He knew that his elder brother definitely had information and gossip.

"Hehe~"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Senju Hashirama took out a ranking list from the drawer and handed it over. After Senju Hashirama took it, he immediately started browsing.

"Oh, this person who ranked the list is quite discerning, and he ranked you first, brother."

Senju Tobirama, who didn't know how valuable this list was, looked at Senju Hashirama who was ranked far ahead and nodded in agreement.

"Uchiha Madara is actually in second place, there is a shady secret! There is definitely a shady secret! It must be a fake vote!"

Opening your mouth is an old double standard.

"Um where am I?"

Skipping the familiar two people, Senju Tobirama continued to look down. The next few people were all ninjas with a bit of a reputation. But to his surprise, he saw another familiar figure among them.

"How can that guy Uchiha Izuna be ranked in the top ten? This list is not authoritative at all!"

"Oh? You're talking about Quan Na. He wasn't in the top ten before, but recently he changed his look and became more popular. His support rate kept rising, so he squeezed into the top ten."

Seeing that his younger brother looked worried, Senju Hashirama quickly explained the reason.

"Hmph~ You are a trickster."

Looking at the desperate look of Uchiha Izuna on the list, Senju Tobirama felt like ten pounds of lemon juice had been poured into his heart, and his breath was sour.

Unconvinced, he continued to read down, only to find that the entire page of lists was almost over. Senju Tobirama didn't find his name, so he frowned and asked aloud,

"Didn't you say I'm on the list? Why not? Did you get it wrong?"

"Oh! There's one on the back, look at it."

"back?"

Confused, he turned over the list in his hand, and Senju Tobirama finally found his name.

【NO.250: Thousand Hands Between Doors】

###! ! !

"Crack!!!"

"This list must be made by Uchiha!!!"

Senju Tobirama, who was furious, slapped the ranking list directly in front of Senju Hashirama. The desk made of solid wood let out a crisp scream under his angry and powerful beating.

"When I find the guy on the list, I will make sure his whole family spirals to heaven!"

"ah"

He didn't expect that his usually calm brother would be so emotional. Feeling a little sweaty, Senju Hashirama hurriedly pointed at a name on the list and said,

"Don't get excited, Tobirama, look, isn't Brother Yin also at the back?"

【NO.249: Uchiha Silver】

"."

"Why is that curly hair on top of me!!!"

It's okay not to point. When he saw that Uchiha Gindu was ranked higher than himself, Senju Tobirama went completely crazy. His eyes were red and he gritted his teeth. He vowed to hang the ranking person up and beat him, and then cut him off with water. Bo performed severe pain removal surgery on him.

"What are you arguing about? I can hear it from outside the building."

Just as Senju Tobirama was jumping around, Uchiha Madara, who had just finished his ramen, came back to continue working. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shirogane who was furious, and immediately looked confused.

"Nothing! Tobirama was just opening his voice~"

Senju Hashirama, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, stuffed the ranking list on the table back, put a warm smile on his face, and shook his head to indicate that nothing happened, it was just his brother doing vocal exercises~

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be an artist~"

Uchiha Madara didn't expect Senju Tobirama to have such a hobby. As a soul dancer, the artistic soul in him couldn't help but be a little bit eager to move.

"I"

Qianju Tojian, who was suddenly labeled as a singer, looked at his elder brother with some confusion. He usually loved music, but he never showed it to the outside world. He only sang alone when the night was dark and windy.

"Hush~ Singing, rapping, dancing and basketball are all bonus points. As long as the publicity is in place, the ranking will definitely rise~"

Pulling Senju Tobirama who was leaning on the table, Senju Hashirama reminded him in a serious voice,

"Um, cough, cough, that's right, I'll practice a few sentences during the break~"

After being given the guidance by Brother Bang, Qian Shu Feijian felt enlightened, and then he coughed a few times, with a hint of artist's arrogance on his face, and explained aloud,

"Oh oh oh~"

The surprised look on Uchiha Madara's face was very helpful to Senju Tobirama, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but reveal his hand.

"Recalling the past, I will never dry up in tears~"

A few days later, Senju Tobirama, who had finished sorting out Uchiha Gin's plan, led a team to leave Konoha, aiming for the capital of the Land of Fire, aiming to discuss the details of the plan with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"oioioi, why didn't Hokage-sama come in person?"

In the palace of the Fire Country Daimyo, the Fire Country Daimyo with a pale face looked at Senju Tobirama in front of him with great interest, put the folding fan in his hand against his chin, and asked in confusion,

"Lord Hokage was assassinated when he was out. In order to ensure the stability of Konoha's development, he has been stationed in the village during this period."

Faced with the Daimyo's questioning, Senju Tobirama gave a reasonable explanation without being humble or arrogant.

"Ah? Hokage-sama was assassinated, was he not injured?"

"Thank you for your concern, I just suffered some skin trauma~"

There's nothing wrong with that, the clothes are torn, but it's not just a skin injury.

"Oh~ Then what is the purpose of your trip?"

The daimyo was relieved when he heard that nothing happened to Senju Hashirama. Konoha had helped him earn enough face in front of his brothers. If something went wrong with the Hokage, he would no longer be able to show off in front of other daimyo. .

"Please take a look at it."

Qian Shu Toijian was also unambiguous and handed over the plan he had already prepared.

"Is this?" Are you here to ask for money again?

He accepted the scroll handed over by Senju Tobirama with doubts. The Daimyo was not suspicious and immediately opened it and started browsing.

After a while, the daimyo with a strange expression put down the scroll in his hand, looked at the waiting Senju Tobirama in front of him, and said,

"Hokage-sama is truly an admirable leader."

The plan submitted by Senju Tobirama subverted the views of the Daimyos of the Fire Country. How could anyone share his or her rights with another person?

"This is also the need for the development of Konoha, and we Konoha have the strength to select many outstanding talents who can serve as leaders at the same time!"

Indeed, as Senju Tobirama said, there are not a few people in Konoha who have the strength and courage to assume the position of Hokage.

Even in the future Konoha in the original work, after the death of the third generation, there are still two Sannin who can take over, and there is still a pot shadow waiting for an opportunity to usurp the throne secretly.

Unlike the Kingdom of Wind in later generations, once the young Kazekage Gaara was captured, the entire Sunagakure Village could only pull out one Maki as the temporary leader, which was really a bit ridiculous.

"I think it's good."

Looking at the confident Senju Tobirama, the daimyo nodded in agreement,

In his opinion, no matter how many leaders there are in Konoha, as long as they can complete the assigned tasks efficiently, the people's lives will be stable and help him earn taxes, this is the result that nobles like them are most happy to see.

"As for the candidates, you Konoha can decide for yourself, as long as the position of Lord Hokage remains unchanged."

The daimyo's eyes fell on the final list of candidates in the plan. Looking at those familiar surnames, he shook his head gently. As long as Senju Hashirama, the in-law, did not step down, who would take the position of another leader? It doesn't matter.

As long as the plan is approved by the daimyo, then the other leader of Konoha will have the most basic authority. Senju Tobirama took the appointment letter signed and sealed by the daimyo and rushed back to Konoha to tell the news. Senju Hashirama looked at him with eyes wide open.

"Brother, I got it~"

In the office, the dusty Senju Tobirama took out the daimyo's appointment letter in front of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tobirama!"

Standing up excitedly, Senju Hashirama solemnly handed out the appointment letter, his eyes filled with emotion.

"It's just my job~"

Senju Tobirama did not take any credit, glanced at Madara Uchiha next to him, shook his head and replied,

"Huh~ That's great! It's a motor, look at it~"

The first time he received the appointment letter, Senju Hashirama chose to share the joy with his best friend.

"Now that the appointment certificate has been issued, shouldn't this candidate be confirmed?"

He lowered his head and glanced at the appointment letter signed by the daimyo, looking at the blank space left in the middle, which was the place to fill in the name of the second leader.

"Needless to say, of course it's you~"

He couldn't wait to take out his pen. Senju Hashirama was about to fill in Uchiha Madara's name in the blank space of the appointment letter, but was stopped by a big hand that suddenly appeared.

"Brother, are you a little hasty in doing this?"

All I saw was the expressionless Senju Tobirama, who was looking at Uchiha Madara beside him with gloomy eyes.

"What's so hasty about this? Is there a more suitable candidate besides Madara?"

"Let's not talk about whether there is a suitable candidate for now. It may be difficult to convince the public to appoint another leader so hastily!"

Senju Tobirama shook his head and explained,

"Then what do you say?"

Uchiha Madara, whose good deeds were ruined, stared at Senju Tobirama, wanting to hear his advice,

"Hold a meeting."

Soon, at the same time, the major ninja clans in Konoha received summons from the Hokage Building.

The first Konoha Representative Conference was officially held~

"Sasuke, why did the Hokage summon us?"

The people of the Ninja Alliance met on the way to the gathering. Shimura Kenichi looked at the people rushing to the Hokage Building curiously, elbowed his friend, and asked,

"I don't know what it is, but it should have nothing to do with the war."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who didn't know the inside story, frowned into a river. As long as there was no war, everything else was fine.

"I did hear some rumors~"

The chubby Akimichi Shinji came over with a mysterious look on his face. Yama Minako, who followed behind him, also pricked up her ears.

"It is said that because the Hokage-sama is unable to support himself and feels that his body is hollowed out, he decided to set up another position with the same power as the Hokage, but the affairs under his jurisdiction do not overlap."

"Decentralize power? The Hokage-sama is really generous~"

The pineapple-headed man who was behind the team rubbed his sleepy eyes, his eyes full of thinking.

In his opinion, as the leader of the Fire Country Ninja, the Hokage should be a good leader, concentrating power while intensively managing the affairs of Konoha.

"No way? Who would share their rights?"

Shimura Kenichi refused to believe the gossip about Akimichi Shinji, and then asked,

"Shinji, where did you hear that?"

"Uh? Did your kid tell you?"

It turned out that Akimichi Tofu heard the news from his teacher and passed it on to Akimichi Shinji.

"Uh?"

Sarutobi Sasuke and Shimura Kenichi scratched their heads, they had never heard the news from their own children.

"Then they must not have listened carefully in class~"

"Hmph! See how I deal with him when I get back!"*2

"Cousin, there is a meeting at the Hokage's place, are you going to attend?"

Uchiha Gin, who was strolling in the Uchiha clan, was stopped by Uchiha Izuna who suddenly appeared.

Meeting? Did his plan pass?

"Didn't they say what happened?"

"No, they just said that representatives from each clan should go."

Among the Uchiha clan, only Uchiha Gin is respected, so when Uchiha Izuna encountered this kind of thing, the first person she thought of was her eldest cousin.

"Let's go and have a look~"

Uchiha Gin, who wanted to eat melons, did not refuse his cousin's invitation, and nodded and followed.

"Hey~ Isn't this Tianyao, my brother? I haven't seen you for a while, why is your hairline getting higher~"

Unexpectedly, he could meet an acquaintance on the road. Uchiha Gin looked at the plain black-haired and white-eyed young man not far away, and greeted him enthusiastically.

"It's Gin-san, it's been a long time since we last met."

As the young master of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Tianyao has long lost the arrogance he had when he first entered Konoha. He has become much more restrained. After hearing Uchiha Gin's lazy voice, he had a blank expression on his face, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you also going to the meeting?"

"My father is not able to move, so he ordered me to attend the meeting."

Hinata Tenyo's father Uchiha Gin had met him once, and he felt that he was already a candle in the wind. He probably wouldn't be able to have a meal until winter.

"Mr. Gin~ Long time no see!"

Just as the two were greeting each other, a pleasant voice came to his ears. Uchiha Gin turned his head and saw the members of the Ninja Alliance headed by Sarutobi Sasuke, waving at him not far away.

However, when he saw Sarutobi Sasuke with a monkey look, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Sorry, Sasuke, Iwagakure Village has given too much~" (End of this chapter)
