Chapter 51 He is only thirteen years old!

The dissatisfaction of the merchants in Konoha Village with Yuya had reached its peak.

It wasn't just the complete set of sewage treatment facilities that Yuya had previously required them to complete.

What's more, Yuya had actually encouraged those workers to demand wages!

Those workers themselves didn't want wages! Why was he meddling in their affairs?

Do you have any idea how much money we will lose by doing this?!

The most infuriating part was that after pushing for these changes, Yuya just patted his butt and left.

Then he returned a month later!

Before leaving, he made it clear that none of their applications would be passed!

Several businessmen who had initially considered giving in were furious when they found out that any of their applications had been rejected.

They even directly threatened that it would be impossible to cooperate with Yuya in any capacity.

And yesterday, Yuya had returned.

What made these businessmen even angrier was that he had taken a day off!

Why didn't he come to us directly?!

Do you know how much more money we could have made if he had lifted the injunction against us a day early?!

You've gone too far!

He's just a little kid, only thirteen or fourteen!

He's really offended us! Even the Senju family can't protect you!

Oh? Did you actually send me an invitation?

Well, we will meet at the Konoha Hotel at nine o'clock tonight.

Humph, I knew this brat would give in.

…

Konoha Hotel, located in the center of the commercial street.

There are four floors in total.

Basically, people come here to spend money every day.

The chefs here are really talented.

But today, the hotel cleared out its customers early and closed its doors.

The venue was booked for tonight.

Oh, this big hotel wasn't created by Yuya. He didn't care about the profit from opening a restaurant; he opened a barbecue restaurant simply because he wanted to eat.

The reason he was able to book this large hotel was that Yuya offered the boss a price he couldn't refuse.

It was now around seven o'clock in the evening, and Yuya was sitting at a table in the middle of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, with Uchiha Kagami sitting next to him.

"Brother Hiruzen... will he not come?"

Uchiha Kagami looked a bit uneasy but then added, "Hiruzen is, after all, a member of the Sarutobi family."

Yuya nodded. "Indeed, I can understand."

Then Yuya looked at Uchiha Kagami again. "Is it possible that the Uchiha clan can simply ignore these businessmen?"

Uchiha Kagami fell silent and then said softly, "This is my personal decision and has nothing to do with the family."

Yuya shook his head. "No one will believe that. If you still think that way, then you should leave here."

Uchiha Kagami remained silent.

He knew that tonight was a turning point.

Why did Senju Tobirama allow the newspaper to publish such outrageous news?

This was clearly building momentum for Yuya.

What did this mean?

Senju Tobirama intended to let Yuya take his place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen might not have any objections, but the Sarutobi clan was, after all, the largest clan in Konoha.

During the subsequent Fourth Ninja War, the Sarutobi clan mobilized three thousand ninjas—one clan became an army.

What did that mean?

What kind of power was that?

Three thousand ninjas, huh?

Where were these ninja troops when Konoha was attacked by Pain?

What do the Sarutobi clan, the controllers of these ninja armies, think about this?

It's no wonder that the Sarutobi family, who worked for Konoha, became the only dominant force during the third generation's rule.

Everyone knows the thoughts of the Sarutobi family.

In the original history, they also succeeded.

I just didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to have such a crazy mindset and firmly believe that the village was more important than his family while the rest of the Sarutobi clan did not support him at all.

As a result, he and Asuma were the only ones named Sarutobi in Konoha's combat power.

Clearly, Yuya was now in a similar situation.

Every village has internal conflicts, and Yuya didn't care about the squabbles in the Sarutobi clan.

After all, who wouldn't want the position of leader of Konoha Village?

And what about Uchiha Kagami?

Didn't Uchiha Kagami understand this truth?

Did the Uchiha clan want to take another gamble?

They had abandoned Uchiha Madara before, devoting themselves to the village. However, Senju Tobirama openly discriminated against the Uchiha and did not trust them at all.

Is it possible that Uchiha Kagami now represents Uchiha?

"...Before I came, the elders of the family did not agree with my decision to come."

Yuya nodded. "You can't represent Uchiha; go back. Tonight, I am enough."

Uchiha Kagami fell silent.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Yuya. "What if... it's just one person?"

Yuya suddenly raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

Uchiha Kagami gritted his teeth, then grabbed his coat, ignited a flame in his hand, and burned his coat.

Yuya watched the Uchiha crest on his coat disappear in the flames, looking at Uchiha Kagami calmly. "You want to betray your family?"

Uchiha Kagami replied in a deep voice, "I am doing this for the village, not betraying my family."

Yuya was silent for a moment, then sighed, leaning back in his chair. "Do you really trust me that much to think you can win? Or... is it because the Hokage values me that you...?"

Uchiha Kagami pursed his lips. "It has nothing to do with that... I simply discovered a fact by accident...

You... have actually started to weaken the ninja families, right?"

Yuya was genuinely intrigued now.

Could someone really see through his plan?

Yuya became interested and began chatting with Uchiha Kagami.

Hearing Uchiha Kagami say that he had been wandering around and noticed that people in the Uchiha clan were slowly moving out voluntarily, without any pressure, led him to conclude that Yuya was trying to weaken the major ninja families. Yuya smiled.

It turned out that he had only scratched the surface.

Well, that was fine too.

People who could see through his true plans...

Well, forget it; let's not get too ahead of ourselves.

What if there really was?

…

"It's really strange," Uzumaki Mito said, looking at Senju Tobirama, who was kneeling in front of Senju Hashirama's tablet. "Aren't you on the front line? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Senju Tobirama opened his scarlet eyes, gazing at his elder brother's memorial tablet as he softly replied, "Because I can't wait any longer."

Uzumaki Mito was a bit confused. "What can't you wait for?"

Senju Tobirama lowered his head and kowtowed to his elder brother's memorial tablet.

Then he stood up and said, "This time, Yuya almost got into trouble because I called him to the front line. I realized something.

If something happens to Yuya now, there will be no future for Konoha.

In other words, I can clearly foresee the future of Konoha.

And I already... can't wait to see the future Konoha that my foolish eyes can't see...

I want to see... a future where everyone in Konoha Village becomes rich and powerful.

I want this day to arrive sooner..."

Uzumaki Mito became even more perplexed. "Then why are you kneeling here?"

Senju Tobirama clasped his hands together and said, "I... told everyone that Yuya is my successor.

At the very least, Sarutobi, Shimura, Hinata, and other ninja families must know."

Uzumaki Mito was stunned for a moment, and then her expression changed instantly. She asked, "What did you say? Did you tell those ninja families? Do you know this will bring him..."

Senju Tobirama closed his eyes. "This is a hurdle he must overcome. Only this way can he secure his position."

*Slap!*

Uzumaki Mito slapped Senju Tobirama hard on the face. "Are you crazy?! He is only thirteen years old!"

Senju Tobirama's body remained motionless, but five more fingerprints appeared on his face.

He still kept his eyes closed and said in a deep voice, "I followed my elder brother to the battlefield when I was six years old."

Uzumaki Mito pointed at Senju Tobirama with a trembling finger and turned to walk out.

"Sister-in-law," Senju Tobirama called out loudly, "Your status does not allow you to enter and exit this mansion at will."

Uzumaki Mito stopped, clenching her hands tightly.

However, Senju Tobirama was not just talking.

Uzumaki Mito sensed at least eight ninjas after just a brief scan.

"Sister-in-law," Senju Tobirama said gently, standing up from the memorial tablet, "Believe him; he is my brother's disciple."

After saying that, Senju Tobirama vanished from the room and appeared in the wilderness outside Konoha.

"Sorry, Yuya.

But... you can only pass this test by yourself.

If you can't do it..."

Pausing his thoughts, Senju Tobirama turned and walked toward the front line.

…

In the Konoha Hotel, Yuya looked at the businessmen in front of him, resisting the urge to kill all these profit-seeking merchants. He took out the stack of papyrus he had prepared long ago from his belongings.

Then he handed out a few sheets. "Everyone, please circulate these and see if there are any issues, and then we can continue our discussion."

*Kushina in Uzumaki Mito's belly:* Damn it! This is wonderful! Mito, why don't you slap me more?! If that bastard Hashirama is dead, why don't I beat his brother to vent my anger?
