Chapter 288 You thought you made money, but you actually lost money

In the crowded Hokage's office, the major ninja clans who were familiar with each other were huddled together and whispering. Uchiha Izuna, who was independent from the group, crossed his arms and did not get involved in the conversation, but should have followed him. The Uchiha Gin has disappeared at this moment.

Just as he was looking around in confusion, a shout that did not belong to the current style of painting suddenly came from the crowd. Listening to that familiar voice, Uchiha Izuna was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"Beer, drinks, mineral water~ Peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge~"

"Let your feet give way~"

I saw Uchiha Gin, who had just disappeared, pushing a small truck he got from nowhere, shouting hard. The truck was piled with a dazzling array of snacks, everything you could find at a glance.

Most of the people who came today were old acquaintances, and everyone seemed to be accustomed to Uchiha Gin's behavior. Not only did it not cause any commotion, but some people were carefully choosing snacks to chew.

As an orthodox Akimichi clan member, Akimichi Shinji believes in the daily code of conduct of never leaving hands with snacks.

"Yin Sang, how much does this cost?"

When he saw the snacks sold by Uchiha Gin, he was inevitably a little moved. After selecting them, he pointed to one of the bags of potato chips and asked,

"A grand benefit of 1,000 taels~"

"Ah! So expensive?"

Akimichi Shinji couldn't help but gasped when he heard the price. The same bag of potato chips cost at most a hundred taels outside, but here, the price increased ten times.

"Expensive? These are snacks sold in the Hokage's office, tax is deducted."

Uchiha Gin, who transformed into a hawker, gave Akimichi Shinji a cryptic look, and then whispered to him the reason why it was so expensive.

"Sweep the bastard~ Give me a pack!"

Akimichi Nobuji, who understood the secret, didn't say much. He took out the money and bought a bag of potato chips. The long wait was really boring. After receiving the snacks, he immediately started to eat them.

"Crunch~Crunch~"

"Bring me some melon seeds~"

"Are there any bananas?"

"Kuoluo! Kuoluo! I want to drink ice Kuoluo!"

"."

Everyone who was attracted by Akimichi Shinji's chewing sound also took out their wallets and bought their favorite snacks. For a while, the scene became a bit heated, and there was even looting.

"Tsk, it's so profitable. If I had known earlier, I would have purchased more goods~"

The snacks purchased at a low price were sold out in no time. Gin Uchiha counted the money in his hand with a smile on his face, regretting why he didn't prepare more goods.

"Cousin, how could you do such a thing? It's really insulting to the family tradition!"

The blushing Uchiha Izuna pulled aside Uchiha Gin, who had just earned a small amount of money, and asked in a stern voice,

"It's good to make money, not shabby~"

Uchiha Gin sneered at his little cousin's accusation. Can family tradition be used as food?

"Gin-san, have you heard that Lord Hokage started this meeting to elect another village chief."

Just when the two brothers were choking, Sarutobi Sasuke squeezed to Uchiha Gin's side familiarly, and whispered, holding a black banana in his hand and eating it with gusto,

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

"Can I lie to you~Tie Tie!"

Unexpectedly, this news has already reached the ears of the ninja clan. Thanks to the Senju Tobirama guy's previous promise that the news would not leak out, he would wait until the daimyo's appointment letter came out before announcing the news.

"Cousin, what kind of medicine is sold in Senju Hashirama's gourd?"

Uchiha Izuna, who didn't know the inside story, frowned at the empty Hokage's desk not far away, and asked his eldest cousin in a low voice.

"Whether it is a good medicine to cure the disease or a deadly poison, we just need to see."

Putting the banknotes into his pocket, Uchiha Gin stretched his waist, looking uninterested, and turned around to look around.

Finding there was no place to rest, he immediately took out a mazaar from his bag and sat on it.

To be honest, although this plan was proposed by Uchiha Gin, the purpose is indeed to give his eldest cousin a legitimate job. Otherwise, if he is really waiting for the position of the second generation Hokage, he may have to wait for a long time.

But according to a certain Bai Mao's temperament, he will definitely get in the way. That guy deserves a beating, is evil in life, and is actually a despicable Thousand-Handed Imp~

"Creak~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was thinking about it, Senju Hashirama, who was wearing Hokage robes, opened the door and walked in with Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara. With a serious face, he saw a smoky atmosphere in the office. The scene almost made me complain,

I saw that everyone in the office had snacks or drinks in their hands, and there were even a few female ninjas sitting around, cracking melon seeds and chatting. There was laughter from time to time, making a serious meeting come to life. , turned into a Chinese New Year tea party.

"Ahem, cough, everyone, please be quiet!"

After coughing a few times, Senju Hashirama used chakra in his voice. His deep voice was extremely penetrating, causing everyone present to have their eardrums bulging. They all stopped talking and turned their gazes. Moved over.

"Lord Hashirama, what's the point of summoning us in such a hurry?"

An old man who looked quite respectable came out first to ask questions, but judging from his attitude, he didn't show much respect. Uchiha Gin stretched his neck and saw the clan emblem behind the old man, and he immediately understood.

Isn't this the Senju Elder that the guy from Senju Tobirama mentioned? Sure enough, he doesn't look like a good bird~

"Great Elder, please be patient."

In terms of seniority, even if Senju Hashirama became the Hokage, he still kept his attitude very low.

"Today, I called everyone here to announce something."

Senju Hashirama's gaze passed over Senju's great elder, and after scanning around, he said in a very loud voice,

Some people who had known the news for a long time had expressions of eagerness on their faces. After all, they had not said before that they could not run for another leader. Those who did not know had their brows furrowed, not knowing what Senju Hashirama was going to announce.

"Because it is really difficult for me to handle all the affairs of Konoha alone, I have created a special position with the same authority as the Hokage, and it has been approved by the daimyo. This is a certificate of appointment issued by the daimyo himself."

Senju Hashirama raised the scroll in his hand and said loudly,

"ah!"

"Nani?"

"."

As soon as the news was announced, the entire Hokage's office seemed to explode. Surprised everyone whispered among themselves. Among them, the Senju Elder who had just asked the question had an old face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Master Hashirama, why didn't you tell the clan about this?"

The Qianju Great Elder's withered face trembled slightly, he gritted his few remaining teeth and asked in a hateful voice,

"Great Elder, be careful what you say!"

Senju Tobirama, who was standing behind Senju Hashirama, saw this scene and stepped forward to warn, without any regard for respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

"Great Elder, the Hokage is the Hokage of Konoha, not the Hokage of the Senju. Don't say the words you just said again. I don't want to hear it again."

It's rare to see Senju Hashirama angry, but this time, Senju Great Elder's words really went too far, so he was very angry.

"I wonder what the duties and responsibilities of this other position are?"

At this time, a ninja representative who couldn't hold himself any longer raised his hand and asked,

"The other position is called village party secretary, and its powers are equivalent to that of my village chief. We will be in charge of people's livelihood or military affairs according to our respective abilities, among which people's livelihood"

Regarding this issue, Senju Hashirama was still very happy to explain, and then he repeated the plan that Senju Tobirama had perfected before. Everyone present listened with open ears, for fear of missing any details.

"The power is so great. It is not a high-end game that ordinary ninjas like us can participate in."

After listening to Senju Hashirama's explanation, Sarutobi Sasuke, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. He lost all fighting spirit and even eating bananas tasted like nothing.

"Oh? Brother Sasuke, why don't you give it a try? As the saying goes, if you give it a try, your bicycle will become a motorcycle~"

Uchiha Gin, who didn't mind watching the excitement, couldn't help but said,

"Farewell, we Sarutobi clan can't afford it."

Well aware of Uchiha Gin's funny character, he quickly waved his hand to indicate that he would abstain.

"Oh~ It's so boring."

Uchiha Gin sighed, then turned his gaze to Hinata Tenyao not far away, and said with a very sincere look,

"Brother Tianyao Lao is young and promising, I don't know if"

"No, no, farewell!"

As expected of the Hyuga clan, which has perfected the magic power of turtles, they can slip away faster than anyone else when it comes to such uncertain matters. They raise their hands and reject three consecutive shots, making Uchiha Gin return in despair.

"Big cousin! He has a big brother!"

"Whatever, be careful I will sue you for defamation~"

How dare you kid to say something nice when Uchiha Madara isn't around?

"Where are you thinking? I mean the eldest brother has finally become a leader~"

In Uchiha Izuna's view, the position of village party secretary belongs to none other than Uchiha Madara, and there is absolutely no second suitable candidate in the audience.

"I see, it's not that simple~"

Uchiha Gin disagreed with his little cousin's words. He raised his head and glanced at the white hair behind Senju Hashirama, and found that he was looking at the people in the audience with a sly smile on his face.

It smells like conspiracy, and Bai Mao is definitely holding it back!

"Quiet! The purpose of calling everyone here is to vote for the best candidate for village party secretary. Whether it is a recommendation or self-recommendation, everyone can speak freely."

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Senju Hashirama's rich voice sounded again, and everyone's discussion instantly became quieter.

"Sasuke, we are going to recommend you, you must hold on!"

In the crowd, Kenichi Shimura approached Sasuke Sarutobi and excitedly told his friend the good news, waiting for him to express his gratitude for his wise decision.

"Get out!" You want me to die, right?

"I recommend Senju Tobirama!"

The Senju Great Elder, who had just been scolded by Senju Tobirama in public, slowly raised his withered hands and said in a deep voice.

There is no room for others on the side of the bed. In the eyes of the great elder, Konoha is the country conquered by the Senju clan. Even if there are some minor conflicts with the Senju clan, he still recommends the white-haired boy as the leader and vows to conquer Konoha. The highest power of Ye is in the hands of their clan.

"!!!"

Uchiha Izuna, who was imagining the bright future of the Uchiha clan, heard that someone recommended Senju Tobirama. He suddenly became angry. He immediately made up his mind, raised his hands and shouted,

"I recommend brother!"

Uchiha Madara, who was behind Senju Hashirama, showed a happy smile after hearing his brother's voice. He glanced at Senju Tobirama not far away, the provocative meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"There are two of them. Is there anyone else who recommends or recommends himself?"

Sure enough, as Senju Hashirama expected, from the previous Tailed Beast Capture Competition, he could see that these newly joined ninja clan were still keeping a low profile and did not dare to participate in this kind of power struggle.

"."

"Gah bang~"

There was a moment of silence in the audience, and there was only a crisp sound of shell opening, which made everyone look sideways.

"Look what I'm doing? Let's watch a show!"

As soon as he put the melon seeds into his mouth, Uchiha Gin looked at everyone's incomprehensible looks in confusion, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Since no one is participating, the current candidates for village party secretary are Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Madara."

Senju Hashirama, who had a dark expression on his face, saw that no one spoke up anymore, and immediately announced the end of the recommendation session, and turned his attention to the two people around him.

This was a very difficult multiple-choice question. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. Whichever he chose, it would cost him his life. Senju Hashirama then chose to throw this question to everyone present.

"In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the election, it is up to everyone present to choose the candidate for the village party secretary~"

"Sasuke, who are you going to choose?"

The members of the Ninja Alliance have been of one mind since the day they formed the alliance, so the other members of the Ninja clan immediately found Sarutobi Sasuke and asked him for his opinion as the leader.

"Ah this."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was asked, glanced at Gin Uchiha with the old god next to him in embarrassment. He was now also in a dilemma.

Senju Tobirama was his son's teacher, but Uchiha Gin was also his son's savior. A kind of entangled emotion grew deep in his heart, making this usually decisive man feel a little confused for the first time.

"Yin Sang, me."

"It's okay, Brother Sasuke, don't worry about my face and make the choice you think is right."

Uchiha Gin expressed his understanding of the tangle of the Ninja Alliance. After all, his son held the white-haired hand, and if he offended him, it was not impossible to win in a matter of minutes.

Besides, the Uchiha clan seems to have offended many people.

"Who are you going to choose?"

"You don't have to think about it. Of course I choose Tobirama-sama. When I went out to drink wine the day before yesterday, I was caught by the Uchiha clan's anti-pornography team and put into a small dark room. I was locked up for a day and a night before being released. I'm the kind of person who loses his face every day. Guys, who would choose him!”

An old ladybug who did not want to be named said with gritted teeth,

"Uchiha? No, no, no. Those guys from the security team usually torture without asking what is right and wrong. If Uchiha people are elected again, they will have more to rely on. Then they will have to keep their tail between their legs."

In addition, some people interpret it deeper.

"You think about it, Lord Tobirama is Lord Hokage's biological brother. With such a good thing, he would definitely prefer his brother to be elected. This is a rare opportunity to stand in line, so you should seize it~"

The noisy discussion in his ears could not hide from Uchiha Gin's sensitive ears. He curled his lips without any trace. He looked at Hinata Tenyao who had been silent and asked curiously,

"Brother Tianyao, who are you going to choose?"

If the Hyuga clan publicly supports Uchiha Madara's rise to power, it might be able to encourage some losers to come over.

"Gin-san, no matter who is in charge, he or she will not have much interest in our Hyuga clan. However, based on our personal relationship, I will vote for the Uchiha clan leader."

Hinata Tenyao's words made Uchiha Gin very surprised. I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and white eyes, would actually be a kind and righteous person. While he was moved, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After all, people only voted for Uchiha Madara because of their personal relationship with him. From this, it can be seen that the eldest cousin did not usually manage his own network, and only focused on being in a vegetative state, which caused Uchiha The clan doesn't even have an ally.

A big word of misery is written on your face~

"Young Patriarch, the Patriarch's secret order!"

While Uchiha Gin and Hinata Tianyao were talking, a middle-aged man with white eyes came over, whispered a few words and then left.

Hinata Tenyao's expression, which was light and gentle at first, turned a little bronze, and then turned slightly red. He turned to look at Uchiha Gin who was full of doubts, and said with some embarrassment,

"Yin Sang, I'm really sorry, my father's fate is difficult."

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and there was no unnecessary blame in his eyes when he looked at Hinata Tenyao, only full of sympathy.

He is so old and still being controlled by his parents, this kid is so pitiful~

"It's okay, it's okay, one more is not more, one less is not more, I will be satisfied if you have this heart."

Shaking his head gently, Uchiha Gin showed no anger on his face.

"Cousin, the situation is not optimistic!"

Uchiha Izuna was not deaf. He listened to the words of nearby representatives, and he also clearly heard the slanderous words of the Uchiha clan. He was originally full of confidence, but instantly lost his confidence.

"Look, I asked you to tell me that the tribe should have good relations with everyone, and you don't take it seriously. It's fine now. I have no friends~"

What you sow, what you reap. The cold and arrogant character of the Uchiha clan makes them unpopular with others, let alone friends. That is to say, Uchiha Gin has a cheerful personality, is humble, and is easy to make friends, which is why Uchiha Gin is slightly saved. Wave reputation.

ha? You didn’t mention a word about cheating, right? Kenichi Shimura wants to bite you to death, curly hair.

Uchiha Madara, who was standing on the stage, was also very tormented. He thought that after the plan proposed by Uchiha Gin was passed, his position as leader would be stable. Even if it was not the position of Hokage that he longed for, being the village party secretary seemed to be enough. good.

Moreover, she doesn’t have to wait until Hasi’s hot mom retires, and can legitimately work with him every day. She is no longer the precarious intern who is paid to work. This kind of good thing was something that Uchiha Madara would never dare to think about before.

I just didn't expect that the guy in Qianju Tobijian actually used a scheming trick to retreat and not take the initiative to fight for it. Instead, he relied on his usual business to have people lift him to the throne of the village party secretary. It was really despicable. !

"Motor"

Unexpectedly, just one public opinion vote turned out to be one-sided. Unexpectedly, Senju Hashirama had a slightly panicked look on his face, and his eyes looked at Uchiha Madara with deep apologies.

"Needless to say, I thought it was too simple."

Feeling that the position of the village party secretary is getting further and further away from him, Uchiha Madara no longer has the anxiety he had before. It is his usual style to find a way to win from failure. He knows where he lost this time, so Not too discouraged.

"Brother, I didn't expect it either. Who knows everyone."

Senju Tobirama on the side had a tangled look on his face, looking at Senju Hashirama, he acted very innocent, as if he didn't expect so many people to support him.

But, could you please press down the corners of your mouth? Your grin is almost reaching the base of your ears.

"snort!"

I, Madara Uchiha, am ashamed to be associated with a despicable guy like you.

I didn't lose unjustly. This guy Senju Tobirama is so good at acting, and he understands human nature too thoroughly.

"hehe."

Senju Tobirama looked innocent on the surface, but he was already smiling like an idiot on the inside. In order to seek the position of village party secretary, he deliberately spread the contents of the plan when he went to the capital of the Fire Country to meet the Daimyo, and at the same time, he typed After a while, I talked about those ninja clan who are just living on the wall.

As for the ninja alliance headed by Sarutobi, he had no worries. His purpose of recruiting disciples was not simple in the first place. He wanted to seize the lifeblood of Shinobi at critical moments and let them do things for him.

There is also the Hyuga clan. Although that family does not make enough money, the old clan leader of Hyuga is cautious. As long as he is given a little information, he will naturally make the most correct choice.

Moreover, it was he who proposed that the Uchiha clan be able to take up security work. This is because Uchiha is naturally arrogant and has an eccentric personality. In the process of enforcing the law, he will definitely have friction with others. His reputation is also due to his Senjumonkan. As expected.

Humph~ Konoha is a chess piece laid out by me from top to bottom. I originally planned to use it when I ran for the second generation, but I didn’t expect it to be put to use in advance.

"Alas~"

As Senju Hashirama sighed, the ninja representatives in the audience had already submitted their choices.

As expected, Senju Tobirama defeated Madara Uchiha with an overwhelming advantage and successfully ascended to the throne of the village party secretary.

"Big cousin! Are you just looking at me like this?"

Seeing the white-haired villain in Senju Tobirama's success, Uchiha Izuna's nose was almost crooked with anger. She wished she could drive the Gundam and give that guy a fight between two big dicks to relieve the hatred in her heart.

"What can you do if you don't watch? You're just being arrogant. The entire Uchiha clan can't even handle that guy alone."

This village is the result of the joint efforts of the two of them. In Uchiha Gin's vision, Senju Hashirama will definitely defy all opinions and directly appoint Uchiha Madara as the village party secretary to help him jointly manage Konoha and live a leader's life. , no longer think about the position of Hokage, as for Senju Tobirama, just continue to wait to be his second generation.

But I never expected that this white-haired man would not follow the routine, leave the future second generation aside, and insist on competing with Uchiha Madara now. He really had no foresight at all!

"But it's okay, my cousin's dream of becoming a Hokage is getting more and more promising~" (End of Chapter)
