Naruto's Strongest Force

In the village, there are only some Uchiha shops above Konoha Eight Street.

But that was all compensation for forcing Uchiha to move to the outskirts of the village after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Even if your Konoha Village wants to collect taxes, you can only collect taxes from the Eighth Street of Konoha.

But it's a pity that business in Konoha Eighth Street is not good, and the stores have been left to Hizashi's management by Natsuki.

Hizashi rented out all these shops.

It has nothing to do with them Uchiha.

Natsuki didn't save any face for the Third Hokage, he rolled his eyes:

"We are doing business in our own base, and you Konoha people have to come over to eat."

"You can ban the villagers from coming over, it's okay."

"Xiamu you!..."

The Third Hokage's face turned green with anger.

Originally, he had already shouldered a big blame, so he thought of trying to show his respect for him one last time, but in the end, Xia Mu couldn't help it.

He knew how popular Uchiha's snack street was, even if he could force the Konoha villagers not to eat there.

Would that stop outsiders from coming through?

Those who come to post tasks and do business are all important customers of Uchiha Snack Street.

Orochimaru spoke at this time:

"Uchiha Natsuki, although the location of your snack street is not located in our Konoha."

"But you have many channels for purchasing raw materials, but they come from our suppliers in Konoha."

Natsuki was slightly moved when he heard Orochimaru's words, and he shrugged:

"Well, in that case, I will pay 10% of the tax to Lord Orochimaru. If there is more, there will be nothing."

Orochimaru looked at Natsuki deeply, hiding the smile in his eyes.

His tone remained unchanged and he said, "Okay."

The contrast between the Third Hokage and the Fifth Hokage was immediately highlighted.

Natsuki looked around and saw Hizashi looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Well, that's all said and done. There are many things in the clan, so I won't stay any longer."

"See you all."

Then he gave Hizashi a wink and went out first.

Seeing that the real owner was gone, everyone turned their attention to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru sat in his seat and waved his hand as if he was a little bored.

All the elders got up and walked out.

After everyone has walked out.

Only Orochimaru, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya were left in the conference room.

"What do you think, Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru said without starting or ending.

Jiraiya shook his head:

"I disagree. The alliance letter between the three villages is not fake."

The Third Hokage picked up his pipe, lit it, and took a deep breath:

"There is no other way, this is the only way."

Orochimaru replied meaningfully:

"okay, I get it."

…

The elders walked out of the conference room.

The pace is very fast, what happened today was too shocking.

After all, no one thought that the Uchiha clan would leave Konoha.

The key is that there is nothing the Leaf Village can do against him.

The Third Hokage was nailed to the pillar of shame. Only the fifth Hokage's operation in the end gave Konoha a fig leaf.

Uchiha's departure will involve a lot of things in the future.

The most important thing is where Uchiha goes.

No matter which ninja village Uchiha goes to, the strength of this ninja village will increase dramatically.

The ebb and flow of the situation is likely to pave the way for future wars.

All the elders were worried and talking in low voices.

Hyuga Hizashi, who had just been promoted to consultant elder, did not participate in everyone's discussion and said hello to Hizashi.

He walked towards the clan in a hurry.

Hizu looked at Hizashi's leaving figure with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.

…

Hizashi returned to the door.

The people below came up to greet them.

"Natsuki-sama is already waiting in your study."

Ri almost nodded, Xia Mu was really looking for him.

He has a good relationship with Xia Mu and has given orders to his servants before.

If Xia Mu comes over, just take him to the study room.

Hizashi was thinking about Natsuki's purpose.

On the other hand, he has already walked to his study room.

Xia Mu was already busy pouring tea for himself, and he drank it happily.

Completely free of any burden or pressure.

It seems that there is no such thing as Uchiha's self-reliance.

"Hey, Hizashi is back, sit down quickly."

"I'm still worried that you can't understand."

Natsuki acted like a master, making Hizashi dumbfounded.

The heart says, is this your home or my home?

Hizashi asked with some confusion after sitting down.

"Why so sudden?"

Xia Mu didn't inform him in advance, and didn't even let him know at all.

After all, when Natsuki ran for Hokage before, he threw money around to win people's hearts with great fanfare.

Do free practical teaching as a political achievement.

He looked like he was rushing to the Hokage's position.

But in fact, Natsuki failed in the front-foot election and chose to leave Konoha not long after.

If this was not what Natsuki had planned, Hizashi would definitely not believe it.

But here comes the conflicting point, since we have already planned to leave.

Why spend so much time and energy running for Hokage?

Natsuki picked up the teapot and poured herself tea.

Steaming boiling water was poured into the tea cup.

The rising white smoke seemed to cover up Xia Mu's expression.

"Actually, it's not sudden. I had this idea a long time ago."

"I just finally saw some hope and wanted to give it a last try."

Xia Mu picked up the hot tea cup and took a small sip.

"But, if the attempt fails, I won't miss you anymore."

Hizashi couldn't help but asked:

"Where are you going?"

This is still very important to everyone in Konoha.

If Natsuki joins another ninja village, he might become an enemy in the future.

Natsuki didn't announce this at the high-level meeting, it was unnecessary.

However, this matter will be announced later, so it is okay to tell Hizashi directly.

Xia Mu asked: "Do you have a map?"

Ri almost nodded and took down a small map from the bookshelf behind him.

Natsuki clicked directly on the four small islands to the west of the Kingdom of Water.

"here."

Hizashi took a closer look and looked surprised: "Have you joined Kirigakure?"

Xia Mu laughed: "How is that possible?"

"The Kingdom of Water is currently in dire straits and needs a lot of funds."

"We Uchiha have bought these islands."

Hizashi was very surprised: "Did you buy it!?"

"Four islands?"

Xia Mu nodded indifferently.

After all, Hizashi is considered a high-level member of the Hyuga family, and there are trading ports for export on the Kirigakure islands.

Once we get such a good place, it will be very profitable to do trade in the future.

"Is this how Kirigakure sold it to you?"

Hizashi said he couldn't accept it.

Xia Mu showed a trace of arrogance on his face:

"There's no way, they have to sell."

Hizashi thought of Uchiha's fighting power and Kirigakure's current mess.

Somewhat understood.
