Chapter 355 Hostility
No one can beat the serious Hashirama.
Madara hesitated again and again, but decided to stay and wait for Hashirama.
As for Madara's proposal to use illusion to control these daimyo and nobles, Hashirama decisively rejected it.
Let's talk about how tiring and risky it would be to control a large group of people for 365 days.
If Madara goes to another world, the chakra connection will be disconnected, so he has to come back to recast the illusion?
That would be so troublesome!
Of course, the fundamental reason is that Hashirama doesn't recognize this kind of control method like controlling a puppet.
Madara was too lazy to argue, so he let Hashirama play house by himself.
When he is backstabbed by these idiots in the future, he will understand.
Oh!
If it really takes until the day when he succeeds to the throne of the second generation Hokage, he will be the first to kill these termites.
And now, Madara just wants to study the power of the Samsara Eye as soon as possible and revive his Ododo Izuna as soon as possible!
…
Hashirama and his men stayed in the daimyo's mansion for three days.
During these three days, Hashirama basically helped the current daimyo of Tenji rebuild the imperial palace.
Of course, it is definitely far from as magnificent as it was originally. The two tailed beasts almost evaporated all the people's money accumulated in the entire imperial palace for years, and the loss was huge.
As for the daimyo of Tenji himself, it was a mistake not to survive.
No matter how many external things he has, how can it be more important than his own dog life!
In fact, the daimyo of Tenji kept begging Hashirama, hoping that Hashirama would stay in the daimyo's mansion permanently to protect himself and the safety of the Land of Fire.
Hashirama would certainly agree. He is the Hokage and the daimyo's bodyguard.
It would be a mistake to send a few ninjas to look after it.
Only 200 million per year can buy out Hashirama's precious time.
Of course, in order to appease the daimyo, Hashirama also asked Tobirama to show the effect of Flying Thunder God.
And left a Konoha forehead protector with the mark of Flying Thunder God, claiming that next time when the danger of the tailed beast attacks again, Konoha will also be able to quickly support the daimyo's mansion.
Such a comfort made the daimyo and others gradually feel at ease.
In addition.
In the past few days, a group of nobles, including the daimyo, have also been working hard to raise funds.
The commission of 300 million bandit suppression is not a penny!
After seeing the horror of the tailed beast, the nobles who survived by chance were in a state of fear for a short time, so how could they dare to play any tricks.
They all urged Tobirama, and they were very active and conscious.
However, Konoha needed physical silver, and the Fire Country's paper money was too hard to wipe their asses.
This huge commission fee was very expensive.
Until the third day, the daimyo and nobles had only raised 200 million, and the remaining 100 million needed to wait for a few more days.
Tobirama was not demanding about this, and he thought that these bastards would not dare to breach the contract.
If they really had the guts to breach the contract, the evil tailed beasts that had already escaped would probably come to the daimyo's mansion for another "outing".
By then, the 200 million would be enough.
…
Just like that, at noon on the third day.
Hashirama said goodbye to the daimyo and others, led Tobirama and others, and left the daimyo's mansion together.
Next, they prepared to act separately.
Hashirama and Madara went to the Land of Whirlpools to discuss the research with the Uzumaki clan leader.
And Tobirama led several Konoha elites to escort the huge sum of 200 million back to Konoha first.
All the way out of the city.
Behind Tobirama, there were more than a dozen carriages full of silver, forming a long team.
The scrolls were used to carry some items, but the space was really limited. It would be wrong to load half a car with silver, not to mention the remaining carriages.
Besides, we don’t have so many suitable special scrolls.
As for Flying Thunder God? Teleport all the way back? That would tire Tobirama to death...
So it still had to be transported in a primitive way.
This is also the reason why Tobirama chose to escort it personally. Who would be jealous of such a large batch of silver?
Still the same sentence:
Although the probability is very low, if the money is really robbed. Tobirama was probably so angry that he directly provoked the First Ninja World War!
But.
As the Konoha convoy walked on the street, Hashirama and others clearly felt something unusual.
"Tobirama, why do I feel that everyone is looking at us too friendly?"
Hashirama's perception was so sharp that he noticed the abnormal gazes of the people around him very early, although most people were very obscure, and even dared to hide behind windows, behind door cracks, and in the dark to peek at them.
But the fear and resentment mixed in these gazes were very clear.
It made Hashirama and others feel uncomfortable all over...
You know, just three days ago.
When Hashirama drove away the tailed beast and saved the entire daimyo's mansion; tens of thousands of people in the city were cheering and praising him!
Why did everything change all of a sudden?
Did their own plan come to light?
Everyone in the city knew that the tailed beast and Konoha were in the same group?
"Brother, I don't know the reason very well."
Tobirama shook his head, he was also clueless.
"Does everyone know about your evil plan?"
"Of course! Apart from the tailed beasts, we are the only ones who know about this, no one will leak it. Even if it is leaked, there is no evidence to prove it!"
Tobirama was very sure, he was sure of this.
"What's going on?"
"Brother, except for our ninja village, ordinary people in most other areas have a natural fear of ninjas. Ninja criminals don't use their own power to oppress the people, just like they hate samurai..."
"But we didn't hurt you, did we?"
"Maybe it's because Madara is too vicious, which scared the people of the daimyo."
Tobirama glanced at Madara next to him, and simply jokingly threw the pot to the evil Uchiha.
"Hmph! Tobirama, are you itching again?"
Madara snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at Tobirama.
He had already noticed the strange looks of the people around him, but Madara didn't care at all.
"Okay, stop arguing."
"I'm leaving the city soon. When I come back, I'll ask someone and it'll be clear."
Hashirama didn't struggle too much, and he knew that he couldn't please everyone, as long as he had a clear conscience.
The convoy quickly walked out of the north gate, and Hashirama and Madara were ready to separate from Tobirama.
They were going to the Whirlpool Country in the east.
Tobirama continued to head north back to Konoha Village.
But just after leaving the city gate, a small head that was inconspicuous suddenly flew towards Hashirama.
Hashirama raised his head, subconsciously grabbed the head, and looked sideways.
Only then did he realize that it was a ragged little girl in the distance who threw it at him.
"Get out! You are welcome here!" The little girl cursed hoarsely.
"Swish——!"
Tobirama drew out his samurai sword and blocked in front of his elder brother, with a murderous look on his face, mistaking it for an attacker.
"Tobirama, wait a minute!"
Hashirama held Tobirama down, signaling him not to get excited. No matter what, there was no need to be so afraid of a little girl.
The other party looks only five or six years old, what threat is there?
And Hashirama was just about to ask why the attitude of the whole city towards his family changed so drastically?
"Hello, I am a ninja from Konoha Village."
"What's your name? Why are you throwing your head at me?"
Hashirama showed a gentle smile and asked the little girl.
The girl was obviously a little afraid, but she still summoned the courage to scold:
"It was you who killed my father! Get out of here!"
Hashirama was stunned and understood the reason.
When did you kill the other party's father?
No impression?
Could it be that the innocent people were affected by the attack of the tailed beast?
It's very possible!
Except for a very small number of caravans and nobles' affiliated samurai, the nine-tailed beasts have almost never killed anyone.
And most of them were scared by the tailed beasts and were trampled to death when they were running for their lives.
Could the other party's father be one of them?
…
