Chapter 124 Negotiation
While the Uchiha claimed to be discussing things, in reality, it was mostly Chiyo who made the decisions.
Although Fugaku and Shitora were somewhat puzzled by Chiyo's trust in Orochimaru, they ultimately did not refute Chiyo.
A person's greatest virtue is self-awareness, and Fugaku and Shitora did a good job in this regard.
I'm not as smart as Qianyao, so I'll just do as he says in this situation.
When Fugaku and the others returned, they saw the place where Chiyo and Sarutobi Elite were fighting.
That catastrophic level of combat power greatly surprised both Fugaku and Shiko.
After learning about the details of the battle, Fugaku also considered abdicating.
He is strong in combat and has a deep mind; he is much more reliable than I, the clan leader.
With Qianyao's reputation soaring within the clan, this matter is now over.
The Uchiha clan will reap enormous benefits.
He could also hand the Uchiha clan over to Chiyo.
Therefore, Qianyao's decision was unconditionally supported by him and Sihu.
"With all these instruments, we can create the most advanced biological laboratory in the ninja world right here."
This was the first time Orochimaru had such an opportunity to fleece someone, and he didn't hold back at all.
A quick list of the high-end medical devices needed was compiled.
Qianyao took the list, which contained more than thirty kinds of medical devices.
I don't understand this myself.
"Alright, I'll go to the Hyuga clan. Clan head, please wait for us in the Hokage's office."
Fugaku and the First Elder Shitora exchanged a glance and then shook their heads, saying:
"Qianyao, you can make all the decisions this time. The Grand Elder and I will not go."
Chiyo chuckled to himself; it seemed Fugaku was planning to back down.
However, this was part of the plan: "Okay, I understand."
……
Chiyo soon arrived at the Hyuga clan.
Rizu and several other elders were waiting for Qianyao.
They welcomed Qianyao inside.
Qianyao didn't say anything polite and directly stated the Uchiha's requirements.
He also offered some advice to the Hyuga clan.
Rizu and several elders had clearly discussed this beforehand, and their ideas coincided with Qianyao's.
After both parties reached an agreement, they went to the Hokage's office together.
……
The Hokage's office.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were looking down at the intelligence in their hands.
Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure, has led about five hundred people into the Land of Hot Springs.
On the other side, Iwagakure, led by Huang Tu, also set off from the border of Takigakure towards the Land of Fire with five hundred men.
After accepting a large number of missions on the black market, the Uchiha elites headed towards the Land of Rivers.
Although Sunagakure and Kirigakure have not made any moves, no one can say for sure whether they have secretly sent people.
The Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind are adjacent, and nobody knows why the Uchiha sent people there.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito both looked rather grim.
The Third Hokage said, "Given the current situation, we have no choice but to sacrifice Danzo and relinquish some power to the Uchiha and Hyuga."
Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "Hiruzen, think it over carefully. Be careful that the Uchiha don't take advantage of this."
The Third Hokage nodded slightly.
“I know what I’m doing. This test from Kumogakure and Iwagakure is both a crisis and an opportunity.”
Koharu Utatane asked with a hint of worry, "Hiruzen, that Danzo?"
"Knock knock knock..."
"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Chiyo and Hyuga Hiashi have arrived."
The sound coming from outside the door made the Third Hokage, who was about to answer, stop talking. Then he gave the other two advisors and elders a wink.
Having worked together for many years, the three naturally understood his meaning and nodded in agreement.
"Let them in."
Shortly after, Chiyo and Hiashi walked in one after the other.
I noticed that besides the Third Hokage, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, both old men, were also present.
Qianyao glanced at Tsurugi Koharu with a half-smile, after all, they had just had a conflict not long ago.
Koharu, however, remained calm, gave a soft hum, and turned her face away.
Chiyo glanced sideways at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado: "I don't want unrelated people here."
"Uchiha Chiyo! You..." Koharu Utatane could no longer suppress her anger.
Not to mention that she is essentially an advisory elder and has the right to intervene.
Even if she doesn't ask, Hiruzen Sarutobi will still tell her.
Uchiha Chiyo did this clearly just to annoy her.
The Third Hokage reached out and stopped the two who were about to lose their temper.
"You can go down first, I'll talk to them alone."
Koharu glared fiercely at Chiyo, who turned his head away and activated his kaleidoscope.
The scarlet kaleidoscope startled Koharu Tsurugi so much that she stumbled.
If Mitokado Yan hadn't pulled her up, she would have fallen flat on her face.
"Uchiha Chiyo, we'll see!"
After Tsune-on Koharu regained her footing, she didn't forget to utter some harsh words, but Chiyo took a step forward expressionlessly.
She was so frightened that she practically tumbled out of the office.
Qian Yao gave a soft snort, then slammed the door shut.
The Third Hokage showed no unusual expression, as if nothing had just happened.
He even picked up a pipe and started puffing away.
Qian Yao sneered inwardly; this old fox really knew how to keep his composure.
However, even at a time like this, the Third Hokage didn't beat around the bush.
"Chiyo, Hiashi, have you two made up your minds?"
Qianyao held up three fingers: "First, announce the relevant information about the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki to the entire village."
The Third Hokage gave Qian Yao a deep look: "Okay."
Qianyao wasn't surprised, after all, he had already scattered small pieces of paper throughout the village.
It's better to be open than to hide it.
"Second, publicly execute Danzo and compensate our Uchiha for their losses."
The Third Hokage slowly shook his head and said, "Compensation can be discussed, but Danzo cannot die."
Qianyao glanced at the Third Hokage with a half-smile, as if he had known all along that the Third Hokage would protect Danzo.
"Then I'll take these things as compensation."
Chiyo directly handed the list Orochimaru had compiled to the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage knew at a glance who wanted these things.
Although he didn't know much about these things, he did know that they were high-end and rare medical devices.
"These items are very rare, and it will take a long time to find them all."
Qian Yao held up three fingers: "Within three months."
The third generation thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Qianyao turned his head: "If you insist on protecting Danzo, then we Uchiha want Asahi and Hanro streets."
The Third Hokage's pupils constricted sharply: "You actually knew?"
Chiyo scoffed, "Kushina and Mikoto are close friends."
The Third Hokage scoffed, "Are you Uchiha people that short of money?"
Qian Yao's face held a hint of sarcasm: "Aren't you Sarutobi clan members also short of money?"
Even without Kushina's five streets, isn't the legacy of the first and second generations of the Senju clan enough?
