Then they would face a bloody battle!
This was the fundamental difference between the two.
"Hashirama, why are you still standing? Don't you have important matters to decide?" Uchiha Madara said.
Senju Hashirama smiled slightly and sat down in the main seat next to Uchiha Madara.
"Next, let's discuss the distribution of the Tailed Beasts, shall we?"
As Senju Hashirama took his seat, the other Kage also sat down in order. Among them, the Mizukage Byakuren, whose Village's strength was relatively weaker, noticed there was one less chair.
Uchiha Madara had squeezed his spot away.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
At this moment, Chu Yang, with his quick reflexes, created a wooden chair using Wood Release.
"Thank you." Byakuren nodded slightly and sat down.
"Was that Wood Release just now?"
Raikage A looked at Senju Hashirama, a look of disbelief on his face.
After Konoha Village was founded, Chu Yang had been teaching in the school, so his reputation was limited to within Konoha Village; there was little news of him outside.
"Hahaha, Yang is my disciple."
Senju Hashirama laughed heartily, looking quite pleased. With a genius disciple like Chu Yang, he had every right to be proud.
Senju Hashirama's undisguised attitude also made everyone present realize Chu Yang's standing in his heart.
"With a good teacher, there will naturally be a good disciple." Sitting in the chair Chu Yang had personally made, Mizukage Byakuren's previous awkwardness vanished, replaced by a beaming smile.
Kazekage Retsu's gaze lingered between Chu Yang and Uchiha Madara.
He couldn't understand why Uchiha Madara would act together with Senju Hashirama's disciple.
Moreover, this disciple also understood Wood Release, and might become a second Senju Hashirama in the future.
If it were him, he would definitely find a way to eliminate this disciple midway.
Such a prodigy posed an immense threat to his own Clan.
However, Uchiha Madara seemed to get along quite well with this young man named Senju Yang.
"The relationship between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan seems to be even closer than rumored outside."
After much thought, Retsu came to a conclusion.
Even if Senju Hashirama passed away, the various Clans within Konoha Village would still maintain a relatively stable state.
For other Ninja Villages, this was not good news.
The stability and prosperity of Konoha Village meant that...
They would continue to be suppressed for decades, or even a century.
Thinking of this, Kazekage Retsu's expression grew increasingly somber.
At this point, everyone had begun discussing how to distribute the Tailed Beasts.
Although it was at the cost of money.
But Tailed Beasts were strategic weapons that money couldn't buy, so describing it as distribution was more appropriate.
In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if Senju Hashirama truly had no intention of dominating the Ninja World, with the current strength of Konoha Village, plus the Nine Tailed Beasts, they could easily defeat them.
Each Kage was fighting for the lower-ranked Tailed Beasts for their own country.
Although there was no clear ranking of Tailed Beast combat power, it was an undeniable fact that the more tails they had, the more Chakra they possessed.
The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki had already become an irreversible fact, so the Eight-Tails became the focus of contention for the four Kage in the meeting room!
The four exchanged sharp words, back and forth, unwilling to give an inch.
The Ninja Villages they had once been proud of now sounded incredibly weak in their mouths, as if without this Eight-Tails, their country would be destroyed in an instant.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara exchanged glances.
There was a smile in both their eyes.
This scene before them had been predicted by Chu Yang long before the Tailed Beast capture plan began.
He had even prepared a detailed distribution plan.
When the four were at a stalemate, Senju Hashirama slowly spoke: "I have an idea; perhaps everyone would like to hear it first."
The meeting room immediately fell silent.
The four Kage simultaneously focused their gaze on Senju Hashirama, looking especially nervous.
Their previous arguments were merely for Senju Hashirama's ears; this strongest First Hokage was the one who would finalize everything.
"Sunagakure will receive the Ichibi and the Six-Tails, Iwagakure will receive the Two-Tails and the Five-Tails, Kirigakure will receive the Three-Tails and the Four-Tails, Kumogakure will receive the Eight-Tails, and the remaining small Ninja Villages outside the Five Great Nations will jointly hold the Seven-Tails, represented by the Land of Iron, forming an alliance."
After Senju Hashirama finished stating his opinion, the other four Kage began to discuss in low voices.
They nodded frequently, seemingly quite in agreement with this distribution plan.
Tsuchikage Ishigawa couldn't help but exclaim, "To let other small Ninja Villages jointly hold the Seven-Tails, Lord Hashirama's magnanimity is truly astonishing."
Raikage A sighed, "I never considered that issue; it's quite embarrassing."
Senju Hashirama smiled, "Actually, Yang mentioned this distribution idea to me a long time ago. I merely repeated it."
Mizukage Byakuren looked at Chu Yang, who was standing by the door, in surprise.
The other three Kage also turned their heads.
Their escorts, who were also the next Kage of their respective Ninja Villages, were all looking at him.
This young man's thoughts and opinions could actually directly influence Senju Hashirama!
"Gentlemen, if you have any other opinions, you can bring them up now..." Uchiha Madara seemed to be in a good mood; a rare smile appeared on his face, but his gaze remained extremely oppressive.
He surveyed the crowd and said indifferently, "If anyone speaks out of turn later, that will be an act of provocation!"
The four Kage's expressions tensed!
"I agree."
Raikage A was the first to nod. Although Kumogakure received one less Tailed Beast than the other Ninja Villages, they got the strongest Tailed Beast besides the Nine-Tailed, a definite win.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage nodded in succession.
Senju Hashirama nodded in satisfaction and laughed loudly, "I hope that from now on, there will be no more disputes among the Five Great Nations, and I hope we can live in peace forever."
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces simultaneously.
With the distribution concluded, it was Konoha Village's turn to demand the corresponding price.
Before Senju Hashirama departed, Senju Tobirama had already drafted a suitable price and given it to Uchiha Izuna to execute, so he didn't need to worry much.
Just as Chu Yang thought the transaction would proceed smoothly, Uchiha Madara had a sudden idea and changed the transaction requirements.
He demanded that in addition to appropriate money, each Ninja Village must also exchange a powerful Ninjutsu.
As soon as these words were spoken, the four Kage's expressions changed simultaneously.
Even Chu Yang was startled!
"Madara..." Senju Hashirama stood up in surprise; Uchiha Madara's decision had not been discussed with him.
"Brother, this request is not in Senju Tobirama's plan..." Uchiha Izuna quickly walked to Uchiha Madara's side and whispered, trying to dissuade him.
Uchiha Madara ignored them and continued, "In exchange, I will also offer a secret Ninjutsu to exchange with you."
Hearing that Uchiha Madara would also offer a secret Ninjutsu as a bargaining chip, the expressions of the Kazekage and others immediately softened considerably.
The four discussed in low voices for a while, and finally nodded in agreement to the request.
Uchiha Madara smiled knowingly, pointed at Chu Yang, and said, "Kid, what Ninjutsu do you want? You go tell them!"
Chu Yang: "???"
It's this young man again!
This thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the four Kage.
He hadn't done much, yet he had become the center of the meeting several times.
Forcing these influential figures to repeatedly shift their gaze to him!
"Brother?"
Uchiha Izuna looked at Uchiha Madara with some surprise, but after thinking about it, he felt it was only natural, as even he himself greatly admired Chu Yang.
"Haha, Madara, you'll spoil him!" Senju Hashirama slowly walked in front of Chu Yang, patted his shoulder, and said, "Go on! Since Madara says so, there must be a reason for it."
Chu Yang nodded, then fell into deep thought.
If he had a secret Ninjutsu he desired, the first one that came to mind was undoubtedly the Dust Release of Mu, the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.
This Ninjutsu was a Bloodline Limit beyond Bloodline Limit, a Bloodline Trait, and was the strongest offensive Ninjutsu Chu Yang knew of.
But unfortunately, given the importance of this Ninjutsu, even if Ishigawa agreed, Mu would absolutely not agree.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was Iwagakure's trump card Ninjutsu, no less valuable than a strategic weapon like a Tailed Beast.
This was the crucial power for the future Tsuchikage to deter other Ninja Villages.
From another perspective, even if Iwagakure agreed, without Mu's personal guidance, Chu Yang would not dare to practice it rashly based solely on cultivation insights.
A Bloodline Trait that fused three different nature transformations.
It was more difficult to practice than a Bloodline Limit, and the chance of failure was too high.
It would be better to settle for the Super Lightweight Rock Technique.
This Ninjutsu might not be as valuable as Dust Release, but with Chu Yang and Senju Tobirama's research capabilities, they could completely utilize the principles of this Ninjutsu to analyze other similar secret Ninjutsu.
For example, the Super Added Weight Rock Technique.
