Nearing the evening, after saying goodbye to the Uchiha cubs and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Aburame Shiling returned to the Aburame clan in the night with a basket of fresh local products.

In the clan's mansion, the current clan leader of the Aburame clan, Aburame Shiling's father, was sitting at the table drinking tea. After seeing his son come back, he just nodded slightly, took out the teacup that had been prepared long ago and filled it with hot tea, and asked Shiling to sit down beside him.

After the father and son drank a full cup of hot tea in silence, the Aburame clan leader asked about Aburame Shiling's movements after school.

"What did Uchiha ask you to do?"

"Raise bees, and they will give me half of the honey when they harvest next year."

After hearing this answer, the Aburame clan leader pondered for a moment, and his face, which was mostly covered by sunglasses and a hood, showed no emotion, but just nodded again.

"That's not bad."

He took the basket brought by Aburame Zhiling and carefully counted the things in the basket. Then he was surprised to find that some of the food in it was something he had never seen before.

Choose a sweet potato, Aburame clan leader looked at this strange food with some doubts. Seeing his father's doubts, Zhiling explained:

"This is a sweet potato, very delicious."

Aburame clan leader knew clearly that this was undoubtedly the product of Wood Release.

Uchiha Shenyue, the mixed-blood who has both Senju and Uchiha blood, has a special Wood Release that is completely different from Senju Hashirama. It is not an exaggeration to say that her appearance has changed the pattern of Konoha.

Nowadays, all ninja clans are extremely concerned about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.

Before this, although the two clans had reconciled in name, anyone with eyes could find out how fragile and absurd this so-called coexistence is.

Although the two clans talk nicely, they don't even have the most basic marriage between family cooperation. How can the ninjas who are happy and smart believe this!

But now, with such a strange precedent as Uchiha Shenyue, it may not be impossible to make the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan closer, and even directly promote a large number of marriages, so that the two clans form a marriage relationship similar to the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan.

In the world of ninjas, strength is more important than anything else.

In the eyes of the Aburame clan leader and many ninjas in Konoha, since the mixed blood of the two clans may have more powerful power than the simple Uchiha or Senju, it is better to be generous, put aside the past hatred, and directly intermarry and intermarry, and strive to raise more geniuses.

Thinking of this, the chief of the Aburame put the sweet potato in her hand back into the basket, turned her head to look at her son who was so quiet and withdrawn, and asked him:

"Zhi Ling, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?"

Although Aburame Zhi Ling is still young, he is much more mature and stable than his peers, so the chief of the Aburame still values ​​his son's opinion.

Most ninjas don't like the Uchiha clan, but they don't like the Senju clan to dominate. If the two clans can check and balance each other, it will be more in line with the interests of these ninjas.

This time, Uchiha Shenyue's invitation to Aburame Zhi Ling to cooperate can be regarded as an active gesture of goodwill, which is something that the chief of the Aburame has to pay attention to.

The reason why the major ninja clans can survive in the chaotic Warring States period is naturally indispensable to their keen political sense. The low-key, calm and mysterious style of the Aburame clan, as well as the treacherous and bizarre secret techniques, are destined to make them not too popular in the village.

Under such circumstances, the Aburame clan leader would naturally consider whether to accept the olive branch extended by the Uchiha clan.

".... Uchiha,"

Under the sunglasses, Aburame Zhiling frowned and thought. He recalled the dumplings he had eaten with the Uchiha cubs, the wild bees they caught in the forest, and the sweet potatoes baked in the farmland, which tasted as sweet as honey.

And the girl standing in the sea of ​​flowers and smiling.

"Very cute."

"Is that so..."

The Aburame clan leader raised the teacup at hand and just drank a sip out of habit, and suddenly spit it all out in one breath. The poker face that was originally solidified like a sculpture and could not see any expression at all was suddenly broken, revealing a look of horror.

"Zhiling, what on earth were you talking about just now?!"

The Aburame clan leader probably never thought that one day the Uchiha clan would be associated with the word cute, and this was said by his steady and reliable son.

.......

Recently, Senju Tobirama was very troubled.

After completely breaking up with the daimyo, he was finally able to let go of all his concerns.He led the Senju clan to reach out to those areas that ninjas should not have set foot on, and among them, he valued farming the most.

Food is too important. If Konoha can be self-sufficient, not only will the huge financial pressure be relieved, but the nobles and wealthy businessmen who can still jump on the stage will no longer be able to use the food in their hands to control Konoha.

With Uchiha as a pioneer and case, everything went smoothly at the beginning.

Tobirama imitated Uchiha's previous actions. He gathered people step by step and opened up some remote clan lands that were not used. At this point, everything was going smoothly and step by step.

Then, he suffered a tragic defeat.

The matter of farming is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. The preparation work before farming alone is almost killing Tobirama. Farming tools are easy to deal with. The Senju clan also has its own exclusive weapon supplier. It is enough to make a set of them. But where to find good breeds and livestock breeds, these things are really crucial!

However, this is actually not a big deal. If he is given some time, Tobirama can naturally use his connections to get it all done. But the most fatal thing is that when he tried to recruit farmers in the village, he was shocked to find that no one was willing to go to the Senju clan to farm.

When it comes to making trouble for the Senju clan, especially for Senju Tobirama, the Uchiha clan can be said to be very patient and creative.

Perhaps because they were upset that the Senju clan plagiarized their ideas, the Uchiha clan put up the same recruitment information at the same time and place. The rent they actually asked for was actually much higher than what Tobirama listed, but even so, between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, the common people still chose the Uchiha clan without hesitation.

There was no way. Compared with the Senju clan, which had no credibility, the common people were more willing to join the Uchiha clan. After all, the Uchiha clan had used time and results to prove that they were not just a bunch of empty-handed people. What could the Senju clan have? Hashirama's prestige as the Hokage?

The farmers said, sorry, I'm just a commoner who farms the land. Hashirama is really too far away from us. On this point, we are more willing to listen to our fellow farmers.

Tobirama was so angry that he could do nothing about it. But Uchiha seemed determined to fight him. No matter what the Senju clan did, they would intervene and rely on their extra experience and popularity to crush the Senju clan, who were still new in this area.

Fortunately, after constantly blackmailing the daimyo and nobles, Tobirama didn't have to worry about Konoha's current financial situation. But even though Konoha's finances were getting better, his face was still ugly.

People's greed will continue to expand. After realizing how rich the daimyo and nobles were, Tobirama wanted to empty their wallets and put them all into Konoha's treasury.

Senju Tobirama, who had long understood what kind of faces the nobles had, had the idea of ​​replacing them. Since such incompetent and useless daimyo nobles could rule the ninja world for nearly a thousand years, why couldn't powerful ninjas replace them?

However, Tobirama also understood that this was really difficult to do. It was indeed very easy to abolish the daimyo nobles by force, but at that time, how should the ninja manage the vast land of the Land of Fire?

Just managing this clan and village was almost enough to kill Tobirama. This was not a position that could be filled with intelligence alone, and managing the entire country was almost something that would only happen in dreams.

Putting aside other things, where would the ninjas have so many people to take over an entire country? Even if there were ninja schools that could absorb civilian blood in an endless stream, it would be impossible to suddenly produce a large number of talents who could manage the regions and the central government.

Compared to management and creation, ninjas are better at destruction.

"Why don't you just ask Shen Yue? She will definitely have a good idea."

This is how Senju Hashirama answered the question that had troubled his younger brother Tobirama for many days.

"...Why do you think she can tell me so easily?"

Tobirama was almost furious at this unreliable elder brother. He had long known that his elder brother, who was extremely innocent, could not say anything good.

But he was worried about two things now. The first thing was to learn from Uchiha to cultivate land, but to put it bluntly, it was to dig up people's money!

And for the filth and grudges that happened between the two of them, Uchiha Shenyue was not so tolerant that he could forgive Tobirama so easily.

As for the question of how to let ninjas rule the Land of Fire, it was not that Tobirama looked down on her. In his eyes, UchihaShen Yue is indeed gifted, but she is only five years old. She can't be so evil, right?

"If it's Shen Yue, she will definitely give you some good ideas."

Senju Hashirama promised solemnly that compared with Tobirama's rationality, Hashirama actually values ​​intuition more, and therefore, he can often do things beyond common sense.

"That child is very kind and will not leave so many people alone."

"In that case, big brother, please ask her for me."

Tobirama's eyes were about to roll up to the sky, but he really had no choice at this time, so he decided to let Senju Hashirama go and have a good chat with Shen Yue.

"Tobirama, even if Shen Yue really told me, I still don't understand it! You don't expect me to tell you everything, right?"

Hashirama smiled happily, reached out and patted his brother's shoulder, indicating that he should go and ask himself quickly.

"Do your own work, don't be lazy!"

You are a guy who always pushes the work to others, how dare you say such a thing!

Just when Tobirama was extremely entangled in whether to really go to Shenyue to have a good talk, a sudden news completely interrupted his next plan-

Information came from the Uchiha clan, saying that Uchiha Madara took Uchiha Shenyue away from the village, leaving only a letter saying that the two of them would come back after catching the Nine-Tails.

"Wait a minute, what did Uchiha Madara say he was going to catch? The Nine-Tails?!!"

That afternoon, Senju Tobirama's extremely out-of-control scream was floating over the entire Konoha.
