[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

"Indeed, we are here to facilitate the successful signing of the Five Kages Agreement, but we will not sign in vain."

Tuying Shihe said so.He was about four to fifty years old, with long iron-gray hair and a pointed goatee, and sternness was written in every wrinkle on his face.When he said that, the other kages nodded slightly in agreement, only the Uzumaki patriarch of Uzushio village frowned and looked at Hokage, with a little worry in his eyes.

It is now August of the fifth year of Konoha, and the month-long Five Kage talks have entered the final stage.Although it is called the "Five Shadows Meeting", there is actually Uzumaki Nation present, but Uzushio Village did not elect its own "shadow" and does not care about the name of the meeting, so it is customary to call this meeting "Five Shadows" Film Talks" or "Five Films Conference".

The circular shape of the conference table is specially chosen, so that the heads of state of various countries sit around regardless of priority; on the table are the same style of bamboo hats, only the colors and the names of the countries are different.Unfortunately, the atmosphere at the table was not harmonious.In the eyes of Tobuma, the other kages have reached a subtle tacit understanding in the eye contact; they have seen through the overly exposed sincerity of their elder brother, and understand that this powerful "God of Ninja World" has no intention of coercing with force , so instead he used his upright and gentle personality to try to get more benefits.

But... that's the reason why Toikama had to stand behind her big brother, wasn't it?The silver-haired young man in the traditional costume of the Qianshou clan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Of course Konoha will not distribute the tailed beasts in vain. How to distribute the tailed beasts will be decided by us according to the strength of each village. You have to pay for it.”

After finishing speaking, Hei Changzhi's head moved slightly in front of Feijian.Hashirama turned her head, and asked her brother with a bitter face: "Tobima, can you stop being so tough..."

He glanced over at the door: Shut up, brother.The great Hokage turned around silently, lowered his head dejectedly, and a little bit of purple-black cloud and black line emerged; this little episode was quite joyful, and suddenly diluted the tense atmosphere in the room.In fact, up to now, the intentions of various countries to sign contracts have been relatively clear, and the rest is nothing more than trying to get more benefits.

Kazekage doesn't want tailed beasts, and wants the Land of Fire to cede land and distribute [-]% of the income from selling tailed beasts to the Land of Winds.Land cession is an extremely humiliating request for any country, and it shows that a strong country bullies a weak country; the country of the wind bullies the country of fire, or the sand ninja village bullies Konoha?What a joke.Kazekage also knew that it was impossible to cede the land, he simply hated the matter of the Land of Rain, and disgusted Konoha; the real condition was to share Konoha's income from selling tailed beasts.

Lei Ying's attitude is subtle.Yunin Village already has two tails, and Konoha will not give them any more tailed beasts; the bargaining chip for the negotiation lies in the treasures of the brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao.

Just like his appearance, Tuying is a stern and stubborn person.However, not long after the defeat of Yanren Village, the domestic confidence was insufficient.

Mizukage has white beard and hair, and a scar on his left eye. His face looks fierce, but in fact, he has a stable personality and style, and he is the most talkative one.

The patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan - also Mito's father - has nothing to say about coming out to advance and retreat with Konoha.

Fengying was indeed the most brazen, and Feijian secretly slandered her.Apparently other moviegoers felt the same way; everyone accused the Kingdom of the Wind for having too much appetite and ugly food, and there was a lot of noise at the table.The frown on the door became tighter and tighter, and just when he was about to refute this unreasonable request, Hokage-sama suddenly made an astonishing move——

With his hands on the table, he lowered his head and kowtowed, even making a "bang".

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Hokage, and their eyes were extremely surprised.Feijian almost roared out; he was frightened by the sudden action of his elder brother!Brother!What are you doing!You represent the Land of Fire and Konoha!Still the strongest ninja here!Humility also depends on the occasion!

However, Hokage, who was suspected of being "overly humble", straightened his back after kowtowing and successfully quieting everyone down.Unexpectedly, Hashirama's eyes are calm and sincere, but it does not give people a sense of inferiority or helplessness.He looked around, his peaceful eyes had a special power, which made the shadows who had been arguing just now feel a little uncomfortable-under such eyes, they seemed to finally remember that although this man looked Gentleness is too much, but in fact not only led the family to quell the troubled times, but also created a system of one country, one village; How terrifying, but now he is facing the only person in the legend who can overwhelm Madara...

Everyone couldn't help showing a slight regret: Although for the sake of the country and the village, we must strive for the maximum benefit, but perhaps the attitude just now was too much... After all, we are facing the most powerful country in the world, The village and the ninjas...

The traces of remorse caused invisible ripples between the conference tables; everyone's brows were still tough and awe-inspiring, but in fact the focus of the atmosphere had quietly fallen on that Hokage—everyone knew He has something to say, and everyone is waiting for him to speak.

"I am very happy and grateful to see the heads of state gathered together," Hashirama said, "because it shows everyone's trust in me and our common vision for peace."

"..."

"I also understand that behind your toughness is your belief and enthusiasm to fight to the end to protect your compatriots, clansmen, and future generations. We are all the same in this regard. But if we must be like this, stubbornly refuse to take one step Give in, that vision of peace will always be empty talk."

"..."

"We all want to create an era where future generations live in peace and don't have to go to war, that's why we're here now to try and end wars. Even though we all know that even if an agreement is signed today, it won't guarantee that wars won't ignite again. ; but as long as we don't give up our efforts, I believe that the day will come when all countries trust each other and work together."

Tobuma looked at the sincere elder brother, and then looked at the expressions of other people one by one, and added in a flat tone: "Besides, as the strongest Konoha has already taken the first step, the requested purchase The Tailed Beast's payment is not too much. Konoha has shown enough sincerity, and if the villages really have the willingness to sign an agreement, it shouldn't be too much."

"Teima!" Hashirama quickly reprimanded.

Fei Jian held his head high and looked forward, although he didn't say more, he didn't back down.In fact, he felt that Big Brother didn't have to be so humble.In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether these moviegoers really desire peace—there are only a few people like Big Brother who take world peace as their mission—what matters is that they all really have the willingness to sign a peace agreement.

Although on the surface, several major countries have the model of one country, one village, they are different after all.Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire are in an equal relationship and are subject to less control; the other ninja villages are directly established by the state and must obey the will of the state.In other words, with a few shadows sitting here now, it is essentially that several major countries cannot afford a new war in a short period of time, and their flags and drums have temporarily died down.

No matter what the two brothers of the Qianshou family think in their hearts, in the eyes of outsiders, they are just a red face and a bad face.But I have to say that the momentum of the shadows has indeed been suppressed; they looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, hesitating whether they should be the first to back down.

"Hokage." The black-skinned Raikage with a mustache said, "There is no need to say any more. Everyone knows that our Yunin Village has sealed a tailed beast. As far as I know, Konoha has not yet Capture the tailed beast? Although I don't doubt your strength, Hokage, how can you prove that after signing this agreement, Konoha can smoothly assign the promised tailed beast?"

The voice just fell.

knock --

Someone knocked on the door.

"I'm sorry." The guard wearing the Konoha forehead guard came in, half kneeling in the direction of Hokage, "Hokage-sama, there is an urgent communication from Konoha."

Tobima strode over, took the scroll, and looked at Hashirama requestingly; after the latter nodded slightly at him, Tobima opened the scroll in front of everyone.The information recorded in the scroll was not long, and he finished reading it with a few rolls of his eyes.

"Lord Raikage, don't worry." Tomona raised his eyebrows, walked back behind Hashirama, looked directly at Raikage who was still a little confused, and said, "The news just sent back, Nine Tails has been successfully sealed."

==================================================

"...It is at this time that Lei Ying's words have not yet been heard, and such a heavy news comes! Only then did the shadows truly know that subduing the tailed beast is a piece of cake for Konoha! He immediately sealed the strongest Nine-Tails! Tsk tsk tsk, when the arrogant Raikage heard it, his face turned ashen, his arrogance was swept away, and he bowed to Lord Hokage, saying that he was disrespectful; the rest of the kages also surrendered one after another. And we, Hokage-sama, are gentle, dignified, broad-minded, and don't care about everyone's rudeness, just say it and please get up! Everyone was deeply impressed by Hokage-sama's character, and signed the treaty without saying a word! From then on, a A new, peaceful world begins!"

wow wow wow-

The people on the stage were spitting and beaming, while the people below were mesmerized and elated.At the end, upon hearing such a successful ending, everyone applauded and cheered, and even more emotional people wiped their tears on the spot.

Column: "..."

Tobori: "..."

Not far away, two children were chasing and fighting, and suddenly one fell down, and the other pointed his finger at him arrogantly and said "please get up quickly", the one who fell down saluted on the ground and said loudly "Thank you Hokage-sama", and then the two laughed wildly.

Column: "..."

Tobori: "..."

"Brother... What's going on here?" Tobima seemed to be able to maintain his composure, but he turned his head mechanically little by little, his ruby ​​red eyes were unusually dull.

Hokage-sama in casual clothes touched his chin and thought about it for a while, his long straight black hair reflected a deep luster in the sun.

It's October now.Hashirama and Tobuma, after signing the agreement at the end of August, rushed back to Konoha in September, and began to be busy organizing elections-Hashirama has been in office for almost five years, and the second election is about to be held.Since Konoha is now much larger than it was then, October to December is temporarily designated as the election month.During these three months, candidates and their supporters can promote and solicit votes spontaneously, just like the brochures of Uchiha and Senju back then.

"I don't know exactly what's going on." Hashirama thought for a while, and finally rubbed his head and laughed, "However, it seems that everyone is having a good time!"

Tobori: "..."

Of course they are happy!

They are now standing on the busiest commercial street in Konoha.Many shops on both sides have pulled out banners with the words "Please support Hashirama-sama!" "Madara-sama is the most handsome!" "Hyuga Hyuga is the strongest!" "Best brain! Support Nara!"...

In addition to the banners, the merchants also set up open-air stalls at the entrance of their small stores, which were filled with various small commodities.If you take a rough look at the door, you can see various water cups, fans, pillows, bags... and what they have in common is that all kinds of patterns and words are printed on them: "Uchiha is the most beautiful ( Tuanfan) (tuanfan) (tuanfan)”

"(Q version Torima) (Q version Izumi)"

"(Sharingan)"

"(Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara) mark: Wooden escape!"

"(Fan and Sickle)"

"(Pig Deer Butterfly)"

……

On the street, ninjas wearing forehead protection mingled with ordinary civilians, frantically buying all kinds of small commodities they liked.Everyone walked by Tobima and Hashirama, or greeted each other with smiles, or rushed up and said with tears in their eyes, "Hashirama/Tobima-sama, please be re-elected/elected successfully this year!"

etc!what is that!He stared at a few people who came out of a small shop not far away: one with a silver short hair, one with a black long hair, and one with a black long straight hair. The thin hair and whiskers are still fluttering proudly... Hey, forget about this hairstyle, why are you still drawing two dark circles on your face!

... No, wait, if you look carefully, could it be... Big Brother's fairy mode? ? !

So, the red marks on that silver short fried face are...? ? !

Then look up at the billboard of that store: big bargain!Great deal!A full set of wigs + makeup, perfectly restore your idol!Only you can't think of it, nothing we can't do!

Look around: this, the backpack is covered with a circle of badges, there are sharing eyes, white eyes, flaming round fans, thousand-handed family emblems, Q-version portraits of various patriarchs, and a row of badges clanging when walking past; Holding a large flame fan in his hand, he turned up his collar on a hot day and walked over with a deep face, probably imitating Uchiha; also, he wore a golden headband on his head and held a long stick in his hand , there is an ape printed on the clothes, oh, this should represent Sarutobi...

No!Tobima roared in his heart, I didn't come to identify which family these things symbolized!

Suddenly, a person jumped onto the high platform and shouted hoarsely with a loudspeaker: "The police force is the best! The police force is high! For the love and peace of Konoha!! Let the entire police force become Hokage Bar!!!"

Then he was kicked down...

"No, this is too confusing!" Finally regaining his sanity, Tomama said decisively, "In this way, where is the majesty of Hokage! Elections are no joke! Brother, you..."

Before the words fell, there was a flash of inspiration in the door, and he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.His eyes were already slender, but when he squinted his eyes became sharper.

"Brother," he twitched the corners of his mouth, "you wouldn't have known that such a thing would happen...?"

What responded to him was a burst of hearty laughter from his elder brother.So he covered his face in pain.

"Oh hahahaha, I just read the plan, I didn't expect to make everyone so happy! Very good!" Hashirama raised his hand to greet the people around him, and said happily.

"...So what's going on! Big brother!" Fei Jian roared in a low voice.Today he is wearing his signature fur collar as usual... No, I can’t say "iconic" anymore, at least three snow-white fur collars walked by at least 5 minutes!In short, the young man glared at his elder brother angrily, as if he was so angry that the long soft hair on his collar stood up.

"Hum..."

A voice was condescending; a figure blocked the sunlight that was originally shining directly on the two of them.His eyebrows twitched, and he stared up.

"If you want to talk about what's going on, why don't you let me explain it to you!" The visitor held a flaming fan, swung it forward with great momentum, then jumped into the air, and landed on the ground after a front flip.She raised her head, her eyes sparkled, and there was a provocative smile on her lips.

A headband with the words "Uchiha must win" is tied on the forehead, a sharing eye badge and Madara's Q-version avatar badge are pinned to the collar, and even a small flame fan is painted on the cheek.

"...As expected, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Tobima twitched the corners of his mouth, staring at the visitor and said, "No one else can make this kind of formation except you, Mana."

Mana stood up with a smile, fanning the wind leisurely with a fan, and pretending to be modest, said: "Thank you, thank you."

Tobima looked back and forth between the eldest brother and Mana, folded his hands, sighed resignedly, and pretended to be listening attentively.

In fact, to trace the source, we have to start with Quan Nai.As we all know, if there is a "ranking of ninjas most loved by Konoha girls", then the number one must be Quanna, not one of them.However, starting from Konoha's three-year war, for a full year and a half, the girls couldn't see their idols.After finally waiting for the war to end, Senna-sama didn't know where to go again!Disappointed girls turned their grief and indignation into motivation, and devoted their limited lives to the great cause of making "Ms. Senna's peripheral products": Q-print portraits, hanging bags, folding fans...

These small items were first circulated among women, but because of their popularity, merchants discovered business opportunities.Someone has an idea and is determined to expand the market target: Women like Quanna, and other people also have their own objects of admiration!Moreover, isn't the election coming soon!So, the surroundings of Senju, the surroundings of Uchiha, the surroundings of Hinata, and other ninja peripherals that are not from the family but are very popular...

Originally, the merchants were a little afraid of the anger of the big shots, so their products were limited to key chains and water glasses, and they only dared to sell them quietly.It's just that product sales are getting hotter and hotter, and of course they can't hide it.Several clansmen from the police force came to Mana angrily with their surroundings, complaining that they were being laughed at by everyone—but Mana thought they were just showing off their popularity—that Mana knew about it. .

Very interesting!And it’s a great way to spread the word!It can not only play a role in publicity, but also stimulate consumption growth. If it is done well, maybe there will be cultural output in the future?Mana's eyes lit up, and she found Mito happily. The two hit it off immediately. After obtaining the consent of Hokage and other families, the "Ninja Peripheral Products Manufacturing and Sales" plan was released.

As for Feijian, of course he was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end; his elder brother received the newsletter during the "Five Shadows Talks", he laughed and agreed to the proposal with a swipe of a pen, and then continued the meeting calmly without any problems at all. Take this seriously.

"...Sarah, that's it. Everything is the wisdom of the masses!" Mana shook her head and explained, looking at the twitching face with a smile on her face, and said sincerely, "Ah, this is the wish of the masses. It is a spontaneous behavior of the market. The so-called blocking is worse than sparse, and a single spark can start a prairie fire..."

"...I see." Holding his forehead between the leaves, he remembered something in a blink of an eye, his face twitched, and he said, "But! What's going on with that commentary! What is it that Raikage bowed and Hokage said, please get up soon... ...Is this trying to cause diplomatic disputes!"

Mana shrugged her shoulders, and said lightly: "Hey, I won't take this blame... Didn't you and Hashirama accept an exclusive interview with "Konoha Daily" last month? That was adapted by the masses themselves based on the report. Just entertain yourself and be happy. Peace of mind~"

"..." Fei Jian glanced at his elder brother——and nodded with a deep sense of reason.He tried hard to restrain his urge to sigh, and finally said with a headache: "Since the eldest brother agrees...so be it. No, or it has already reached this point, so it's useless for me to say anything."

"Haha, that's right, Tobuma!" Hashirama was elated, waved his arms, and said with emotion, "As long as it is beneficial to Konoha and everyone, the majesty of Hokage is nothing!"

"...No, in this case, it still has to be counted." Tobuma put down her hands and said expressionlessly.

"Uh……"

Mana smiled, looked at the sky, and said, "Well, it's almost time. I should go back."

As she said so, she took a step forward and casually stuffed the round fan representing Uchiha into the door, smiled a bit maliciously, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, and with a bang, the whole person disappeared into a puff of white smoke.

Flying for a moment, he couldn't help saying: "Shadow clone?"

Hashirama glanced at his younger brother.The weather was just right, although the dazed expression on Toizama only flashed by, it was very clear in Hashirama's eyes.His younger brother has a very strong sense. If the other party doesn't deliberately conceal it, he should be able to tell at a glance whether it is the main body or the shadow clone in front of him.But just now...

Zhu Jian was silent for a moment, with a little thought on his face, and a little emotion in a blink of an eye.But these subtle emotions are like a little bubble that pops up by accident in the lake, and it disappears after shaking.

"Yoxi, Feijian!" He held his younger brother's shoulders, "Since we are all here, why don't we go and have fun with the people too! Oh! Look at that person's dress! It's exactly the same as you hahahaha..."

"Hey brother! Are you embarrassed to say me! Over there, your admirer even embroidered a thousand-armed Avalokitesvara on his clothes!"

"Hahahahaha..."
