The ordinary ninjas present were all silent.
Ordinary ninjas just felt that the Third Hokage was so shameless. Even at this time, he was still madly shifting the blame. He really thought everyone was a fool!
but,
The patriarchs of the major families do not think so.
The behavior of the Third Hokage just shows the instinctive ethics of a political creature who will never admit his mistakes.
There are many things in this world that are hard to tell right from wrong.
As long as he insists that he is not wrong, there will always be a chance to turn the situation around.
and,
For the Third Generation, the incident of the Uchiha clan being exterminated tonight is indeed something that can be argued for.
The Third Hokage never took the initiative to say that he wanted to destroy the Uchiha from beginning to end.
He even asked Itachi to inform Fugaku several times, hoping that the two parties could have a good talk.
It was just that there was a problem with the bridge connecting the village and the family, and the original words of Uchiha Fugaku and Sarutobi Hiruzen were not conveyed at all.
Instead, I am doing my own self-analysis.
One moment he says that the Third Generation’s patience with the Uchiha has reached its limit, and the next moment he says that the family’s attitude towards the village is becoming more and more extreme.
……
Even at the last moment, the Third Hokage did not give the order to exterminate the entire Uchiha clan.
Acquiescence is acquiescence!
An order is an order!
The most important thing is that even if you look at his inner thoughts, the Third Hokage does not want to destroy the Uchiha.
The entire Uchiha clan was exterminated, and this incident dealt a terrible blow to his political reputation.
Unfortunately, with the instigation of Itachi, Shisui and Danzo, Fugaku had to stage a coup, and the Third Hokage had to condone Danzo's actions.
"Setsuna! If you have any requests, you can ask for them."
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely lowered his attitude, showing an attitude of willingness to negotiate, willing to admit his mistakes, and even willing to pay compensation.
But if so,
If the Uchiha is unwilling to negotiate at this time, or asks for an exorbitant amount of compensation, the risk of public opinion will be unfavorable to the Uchiha.
For the sake of the village's stability, the major ninja clans will also stand on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.
Don't think that the more Uchiha people die, the stronger they are, and that the Uchiha have a higher chance of winning this battle.
It is a consensus among the major families of Konoha that people who can use the Mangekyo are mentally abnormal.
They are not willing to work under the Uchiha, otherwise why did Uchiha Madara lose to Senju Tobirama?
The remaining members of the Uchiha clan were also discussing what to do.
The Uchiha with extreme ideas and the Uchiha who have no worries naturally want to continue fighting, even if it means dying together with the village.
As for the Uchiha who have relatives, they naturally don't want that. For the Uchiha, who are known as the clan of love, relatives are extremely important to them.
People on both sides started arguing over this.
Wang Ming just watched all this quietly, without any intention of stopping it.
He just asked Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Yakumi: "What do you think?"
Yashiro and Yami are considered to be the more rational ones in the Uchiha family. After thinking about it for a while.
Yashiro: "Let's negotiate!"
Yaowei: "That's right! The hatred can be put aside first, but the family cannot be destroyed."
Wang Ming nodded and said, "Since you agree to negotiate, I won't say anything."
The Uchiha with extreme ideas and the Uchiha who were free from worries accounted for two-thirds of the Uchiha at that time.
They insisted on continuing the fight to the death!
but……
Without the Uchiha's worries, their chances of opening the Mangekyō are very small. If they continue to fight, their role will only slightly irritate their fellow tribesmen.
Wang Ming thought to himself, "I am cutting leeks, not digging up the leek roots. I can't eat them all at once."
Looking at the 13 Uchiha who opened their Mangekyō Sharingan, Wang Ming could not help but nodded and thought to himself, "Tonight's harvest is not small. I will find a way to make them have inexhaustible pupil power later."
"Let these guys snatch the tailed beasts for me." The Six Paths Sage monitors the entire world. What he cares about most is the chakra reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, and the tailed beasts.
Except for the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra who collected the tailed beasts, he would not immediately get angry, but if other people collected a certain number of tailed beasts, the old man of Six Paths would definitely cause trouble.
For example: Scorpion suddenly awakens to family affection, and Nagato is persuaded by Kotobuki...
As long as there is chakra, it will be affected.
Wang Ming cannot collect the tailed beasts himself, or he cannot be exposed too early.
and,
Wang Ming needs energy to practice.
No matter which cultivation system you choose, you must have energy support.
Every time Wang Ming collects a tailed beast, he will gain more powerful power.
While Wang Ming was daydreaming, the eighth generation had already negotiated the compensation terms with the third generation.
"Great Elder!"
"The third generation agreed to pay us 5 million taels in compensation."
"At the same time, the village is responsible for repairing the family's clan land."
"I don't know, Great Elder, what do you think?"
The conditions offered by the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen were not generous, but the eighth generation knew that this was the greatest benefit he could get.
Do the Uchiha want to rebel?
Other families might not know this, so how could he, the powerful figure of the Uchiha extremist faction, not know this?
The Eighth Hokage was not too angry about the family ninjas who were killed by Danzo and the Third Hokage. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and if you lose, you have to admit it.
What he really hated was Uchiha Itachi!
Logically speaking, the power struggle between the family and the Hokage will not affect the elderly, the weak, women and children. After all, they are all from the same village and are not mortal enemies. Even if the Uchiha is defeated, ordinary people will not be held accountable.
As a result, Uchiha Itachi cut off the source of the fire, and almost all the old, weak, women and children were killed tonight. Those who were not killed had awakened the Sharingan.
Moreover, the eighth generation did not dare to go too far, fearing that the negotiations would collapse. If they continued to fight to the death, even if the family won, it would not be far from destruction.
Wang Ming shook his head: "Eighth generation! I am so disappointed in you. So many people in the family have died, and 5 million taels are gone?"
The eighth generation was stunned and wanted to explain immediately, feeling aggrieved, but was interrupted by the third generation.
"Setsuna! What else do you want? Just tell us! As long as it is within a reasonable range, the village will try its best to satisfy it." said the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Tsunade looked up at the sky, not wanting to continue looking at the Third Generation, lest she reveal her emotions. Reasonable range? Whether it was reasonable or not was still up to the Third Generation to decide.
Wang Ming said: "Because of the mistakes made by your Konoha high-level officials tonight, you must give us an explanation."
Sandai said: "The village has already given 5 million in compensation."
Wang Ming sighed, "The family is still too poor! They can't even come up with 5 million taels. Iron Fire! Why don't you go out and work for me to supplement the family income?"
Sandai interrupted immediately: "Setsuna! What do you want?"
Wang Ming said: "More than a thousand of my Uchiha died tonight, the village must compensate us."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his rebellious son and cursed in his heart, "When we get back, immediately have the elephant break the legs of that unfilial son and drag him back from the Fire City."
Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "The compensation will be increased to 8 million. This is my bottom line. If you still don't agree, then let's fight!"
Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Do I care about money? What I want is for you to compensate me for the more than one thousand Uchiha clan members who died."
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled hot air from his nose, suppressed his anger and said: "Setsuna! You can't possibly ask me to revive the dead! Your condition is unrealistic."
Wang Ming shook his head again and said, "I know you don't have the ability."
"So what I ask is that no matter how many Uchiha men die tonight, you Sarutobi will be responsible for finding that many young women to marry into my Uchiha clan."
As soon as this was said, the whole place fell silent.
Uchiha Tiehuo: "Great Elder, we only have 300 clansmen here, and there are only men, and there are less than young men. How can we marry women?"
The ninjas in this world practice monogamy, so they were somewhat unresponsive at this moment.
Wang Ming rolled his eyes at Tiehuo speechlessly: "Can't you marry three, four, or five?" (End of this chapter)
