In the following days, Youshu still visited various ninja clans as planned.
On the second day of his visit to Hiashi, Tomoki came to visit the Nara family.
Here, Tomoki not only met Nara Shikaku, but also Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi.
After the four of them took their seats, Qiu Daoding was the first to speak.
"Chief Youshu, I'm truly sorry for coming uninvited. I believe you should know that the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi tribes are known as Pig, Deer, and Butterfly, respectively."
"Our three clans have always stood together, and since Clan Leader Tomoki will be visiting Akimichi and Haiyi's families later, the three of us plan to welcome Clan Leader Tomoki together."
At this time, Shikaku and Haiyi also stood up and bowed deeply to Youshu at the same time as Choza before.
"Please forgive me for my impoliteness!" ×3
Seeing this, what else could Youshu say but to accept it with a smile.
"I wonder what the purpose of Chief Tomoki's visit today is?" asked Nara Shikaku.
Tomoki knew that the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans had a close relationship with the Sarutobi clan, and that successive generations of Ino, Shika, and Chou clans would generally choose a senior ninja from the Sarutobi clan as their teacher.
However, the combination that has always been popular in the ninja world is the "Ino-Deer-Choice" combination, not the "Ino-Deer-Choice-Monkey" combination.
Therefore, Tomoki seized the opportunity. Although he did not seek to win over the three tribes, it would be good to cause some trouble for the Sarutobi tribe.
With a smile on his face, Youshu first praised his sister.
When the three of them didn't understand what was being said, they also followed suit and praised Youshu's sister for being very outstanding.
Tomoki changed the subject, "Come to think of it, my younger sister also entered the Ninja Academy this year, and is in the same class as the younger generations of the three clan leaders."
"Every time my sister comes home, she tells me that the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho among her classmates is very outstanding and will definitely be excellent ninjas in the future. At the same time, my sister is very envious of the friendship between those three."
At this time, Youshu continued, "I am not talented, but for the sake of the inheritance of the Will of Fire, I have heard of such an outstanding junior, and I very much hope to become his teacher. I wonder if the three clan leaders can give up their love and allow me to accept three disciples. I promise in the name of the Uchiha that I will never hold back!"
Then he looked at the three of them with a smile.
"Sure enough, he has no good intentions. But to think that he wants to take our child as a disciple is simply ridiculous."
"Huh! As expected, he is the head of the Uchiha clan. He is so arrogant at such a young age. Does he think it is still the Warring States Period? He wants us to hand over our child so easily."
"Ding Zuo, Hai Yi, calm down. Judging from the information I've heard, this new Uchiha clan leader is no ordinary person. He must have other motives for making such an excessive request. Don't speak, I will handle it."
The three of them communicated directly in their minds with the help of Yamanaka Inoichi's superb family secret technique.
Youshu looked at the three of them, obviously knowing that they were discussing something, but he did not interrupt them.
Soon, the three of them finished their discussion, and Yu Shikaku said, "I'm truly sorry, Clan Leader Tomoki. Our three families rely on our family secrets for survival. We only ask them to master the family secrets. The Uchiha clan has a vast array of ninjutsu, and to avoid distracting the younger generation, we have no choice but to decline Clan Leader Tomoki's kindness."
After hearing this, Tomoki's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold, and at the same time, his whole body was full of aura, and the three people opposite him instantly felt as if they fell into an ice cellar. But then, the captivating aura disappeared, and Tomoki put on a forced smile on his face.
With Tomoki's expression management and control over his own strength, it is obviously impossible for him to be so unbearable. He did it on purpose.
Then Youshu said, "It seems that I was not thoughtful enough. Let's skip this matter."
Then, Youshu spoke again, "It has been 57 years since my Uchiha clan founded Konoha Village, but now our clan's situation in the village is becoming increasingly difficult."
"I have thought hard for several years and I feel that all of our ninja clans should unite like we did before. We united to build Konoha Village. Now we will be able to survive better in Konoha if we unite."
"Therefore, I wish to establish a ninja clan alliance, where all the ninja clans in the village unite to weather the storm together. Today, I would like to ask the three clans to join the alliance. To show our sincerity, the three clan leaders can serve as the leaders of the ninja clan alliance."
"I wonder what you three think." Then Youshu looked at the three people with anticipation.
After these words were spoken, the three people opposite were obviously stunned.
What is this? Are they going to create a village within a village? Are they going to dethrone the Hokage? Forget about the Ninja Clan Alliance. We don't even want to get involved, let alone be the one in charge.
How could you, Uchiha Tomoki, tell me that we want to join some ninja alliance and be the one in charge? Are you dissatisfied that you are not dying fast enough?
The three of them then discussed it again in their minds, and Youshu kept looking at them with expectant eyes.
In the end, it was Shikaku who spoke. Looking at Youshu's expectant eyes, he quickly organized his words in his heart.
Shikaku said apologetically, "Chief Youshu, I'm sorry again. Our three clans have always supported each other and have weathered countless storms. If we unite with the other ninja clans, I'm afraid it will be difficult to integrate. I'm really sorry."
Tomoki's eyes, full of expectation, became empty, and then turned cold. At the same time, he was full of momentum and even used the ability of Thunderbolt to directly raise the temperature in the room by ten degrees. This time it was no longer a flash, but lasted for several breaths.
Finally, he calmed down again as if he had given up, but his expression became a little ugly.
The first time, it was only a moment and the three of them didn't feel it obviously. But this time, as Youshu released his powerful aura, they felt as if they were being targeted by their natural enemy and their whole bodies were chilled.
But at the same time, the sharp rise in indoor temperature made them unbearably hot, and they experienced what it meant to be in the extreme of ice and fire.
The foreheads and backs of the three men were wet with sweat, but it was unclear whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat.
After calming down, Youshu said again, "What Chief Shikaku said makes sense. It seems that I have not considered it carefully enough."
Tomoki spoke again, but this time his tone was much calmer. "As you all know, my Uchiha clan's ninja tools are very popular, and our three clans are among the best in the ninja world in terms of both food pills and medicine."
"Therefore, in order to increase sales, why don't we sell it together? We can sell it in a package at a slightly lower price. This way, I think both of our sales will increase significantly. As the saying goes, cooperation is beneficial to both sides. Let's work together."
"What do you three think?"
After saying this, Youshu stared at the three of them coldly.
At this time, Shikaku had completely understood Youshu's true purpose. He wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't find a reason. The previous two rejections were already so difficult, so did he really have to refuse for the third time?
If it's just a business cooperation and doesn't involve cooperation in ninja power, it shouldn't be difficult to find Uncle Feng and explain it to the Third Hokage when you want to.
In the end, Shikaku agreed to Youshu's cooperation request without further consultation with the others.
Youshu immediately smiled again, talked briefly with a few people, and then said goodbye and left.
When Tomoki's back was out of sight, Akimichi Choza spoke, "Shikaku, why did you agree without consulting us just now?"
Lu Jiu smiled bitterly and said, "What are you discussing? Rejection? Then why don't you refuse?"
Ding Zuo thought about his previous experience and quickly shook his head, "Lu Jiu, you are the smartest anyway, I will listen to you."
Yamanaka Inoichi asked, "We promised Uchiha, then what about Sarutobi?"
"What's wrong with Sarutobi? We, Ino-Shika-Chou, are not a subsidiary family of his Sarutobi clan. Do they have to interfere with our business cooperation with others?" Shikaku replied unhappily.
"Then what about the Sandaime..."
Lu Jiu sighed upon hearing this, "Alas, I can only ask Mr. Qu Feng for help. Ding Zuo, thank you for your help."
"Don't worry, I know." Ding Zuo patted his chest and said.
Afterwards, Ding Zuo and Hai Yi also said goodbye and left, leaving Shikaku alone to carefully recall the whole process again, reviewing Tomoki's expression, changes in momentum, and so on.
"This is terrifying! This scheming is totally unlike Uchiha. I hope nothing bad happens in Konoha."
Nara Shikaku thought as he looked at the white clouds in the sky.
As Tomoki left the Nara clan's territory, from the next day onwards, he could be seen in various shops throughout Konoha where the Ino-Shika-Cho family originally sold secret medicines and military ration pills.
Some of the Uchiha clan's ninja tools were gradually put on the shelves, and many ninjas no longer had to travel so far to the Uchiha clan to buy ninja tools.
Most ninjas gave thumbs up to this convenient thing.
A week passed slowly, and Youshu did not stop his visits.
Likewise, no family dared to turn Tomoshu away. No matter what they felt in their hearts, they all treated Tomoshu with respect.
The Aburame clan had an old grudge against Danzo because Aburame Ryoma and Aburame Tone were taken away by Danzo, so they had a good talk with Tomoki and reached a certain level of cooperation.
Tomoki visited all the large and small families such as Inuzuka, Gekko, and Ise. In fact, the longer Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, the stronger the Sarutobi clan became, which was bound to affect the interests of the original ninja clan.
Similarly, the development of Shimura, Utane, and Mitomon has more or less caused other ninja clans to gradually decline.
It's just that everyone is usually angry but dare not speak out, and they fight on their own, thinking that they just have to endure and wait for the fifth generation to take the stage.
During this process, Tomoki also had an unexpected surprise. The Shiranui clan and the Kurama clan took the initiative to find Tomoki, hoping to get protection and cooperate.
The current Uchiha clan is actually still a well-known clan. Although their own lives are not easy, they are still very powerful among the ninja clans that have been passed down from the Warring States Period to the present.
The reasons for the two clans were different. The Shiranui clan was ostracized by several small clans because Shiranui Genma was once a member of the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Guard. After the Fourth Hokage's death, the Sarutobi clan didn't even deliberately target him, but was ostracized by several small clans. Their lives became increasingly difficult, and they were on the verge of disbanding.
The Kurama clan declined due to its own reasons and became an ordinary family, and there are not even any ninjas among the younger generation.
After this round of visits, Tomoki discovered that everyone actually had a lot of resentment towards the Hokage, but the public opinion was manipulated, and due to caution, there was no news from the outside world.
This can be seen from the "Konoha Collapse Plan" that Tomoki had seen in his previous life. During the Chunin Exam, the Four Purple Flame Formation performed by only four Genin, including Kidomaru and Tayuya, was enough to block the entire Konoha.
Kai, the only one who wanted to help at that time, was stopped by Kakashi. No one in the entire Konoha went to help.
Picking up the original list and looking at the families, big and small, on it, Youshu smiled happily.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha has suffered from you for a long time!"
