Even if they don't achieve the desired effect on Madara Uchiha in the end, they've still won big.
Encouraged by Chu Yang, Tobirama Senju approached Hashirama Senju, who was struggling with the election, and told him that he wanted to vote for Madara Uchiha.
After hearing this, Hashirama Senju looked at his younger brother with the eyes of someone looking at a stranger, "What's wrong with you? This isn't like you at all..."
"First you released the Uchiha clan members ahead of schedule, and then you proposed to vote for Madara. What exactly are you trying to do?"
As some of Chu Yang's words flashed through Tobirama Senju's mind, he awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile that didn't quite look like a smile, and said, "I want to use this opportunity to mend the rift with the Uchiha clan."
"Although the Uchiha clan has surrendered, their strength still remains. They are the most powerful clan besides the Senju clan. If the Uchiha clan cannot integrate into Konoha, they will cause great trouble for the village in the future."
"Therefore, I want to repair my relationship with them as soon as possible and find ways to help them integrate into the village."
After saying all this, Tobirama Senju was almost moved to tears, let alone Hashirama Senju, who had been working hard for this, but not everyone could understand him.
What power can compare to the support of family?
"Tobirama, I'm glad you think that way. Let's work together!" Hashirama Senju patted his younger brother's shoulder excitedly, his mental fatigue vanishing.
Neither of the brothers knew...
At that moment, someone outside the room overheard their conversation.
The visitor was Uchiha Madara. He had originally come to see Senju Hashirama about the selection of the First Hokage, but he "accidentally" overheard their conversation.
Madara Uchiha never expected that Tobirama Senju, who had always been hostile to the Uchiha clan, would be willing to do such a thing for them.
As for Tobirama Senju's mention that the Uchiha clan would cause trouble for Konoha in the future...
In response, he, who was isolated by his clan, suddenly felt that he could understand Tobirama Senju's thoughts.
Some traits hidden within the Uchiha clan cannot be eradicated and will grow wildly during certain periods.
For example, betrayal.
Deeply shocked, Madara Uchiha returned home and immediately told his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, about the incident.
The latter was equally shocked.
Thinking back to Tobirama Senju's change in attitude, I felt a mix of emotions.
The following day, witnessed by other clans, the Senju brothers and the Uchiha brothers did something that left everyone speechless.
They each cast their votes for the other!
Please keep reading, and give me your recommendation votes!!! A comment is fine too, brothers.
Chapter 19 The arrangements are clear
Outrageous!
A great departure from the world!
The atmosphere at the voting site was eerily unsettling. Representatives from various families remained silent, watching the four brothers standing together.
The scene was nothing short of magical.
Even Chu Yang got goosebumps, afraid that he might mess up the thing he had impulsively decided to do.
Fortunately, things did not deviate from the course of fate; they merely veered slightly off course.
Aside from Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, only a small number of people voted for Madara Uchiha.
Those people were all arranged in advance by Tobirama Senju.
Everything is going according to plan.
Madara Uchiha was somewhat disappointed with the result. He knew that his reputation among the people of Konoha was not as good as that of Hashirama Senju, but he did not expect the difference to be so great.
However, he ultimately chose to accept it calmly, and even Uchiha Izuna had no objections.
"Madara..." Hashirama Senju looked at his friend with deep regret.
He seemed to feel apologetic about becoming Hokage.
Senju Hashirama's earnest gaze, Uchiha Madara sighed and said, "Hashirama, this is everyone's choice, including mine. You don't need to feel guilty."
"I chose you because I believe you can achieve our ideals."
Having said all that, Hashirama Senju no longer declined. Grateful for his friend's request, he accepted the position and, surrounded by the crowd, announced that he would become the First Hokage of Konoha.
As many family representatives and members of the public came forward to offer their congratulations, Uchiha Izuna slowly walked to Senju Tobirama's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
“Now I understand why my older brother could become friends with him.” Uchiha Izuna said sincerely, “He… the Hokage-sama really has a special kind of personal charm. I hope that Konoha Village will get better and better under his leadership.”
Tobirama Senju nodded and said, "My brother will not let anyone down, so you can rest assured."
Suddenly, Uchiha Izuna made a move that Senju Tobirama had not anticipated.
He extended his hand towards Tobirama Senju and smiled:
"Let's get to know each other again, Uchiha clan, Uchiha Izuna."
Tobirama Senju paused for a moment, then looked at the other person deeply and extended his hand, "The Senju clan, Tobirama Senju."
As representatives of the pro-war faction of their respective clans, the handshake between these two was even more eye-catching than the handshake between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha on the other side.
Standing outside the crowd, Chu Yang watched this scene with great interest, but suddenly felt a look of affirmation from Tobirama Senju.
It means, "Kid, your schemes and tricks are quite effective."
Chu Yang: "..."
Because of Chu Yang's instigation, the development trajectory of Konoha Village has deviated slightly from the original storyline.
Meanwhile, the Uchiha and Senju clans entered an unprecedented honeymoon period of development.
As time went by, one major event after another occurred in Konoha, enough to affect the development of the entire village.
The first thing was that, under Tobirama Senju's leadership, Konoha officially established the Anbu!
Everyone originally thought that Tobirama Senju would naturally become the head of the Anbu, but no one expected that he would give this crucial position to Izuna Uchiha.
Tobirama Senju, as a second choice, became the Hokage's assistant!
Everyone believed that Tobirama Senju made a sacrifice, including the Uchiha clan.
It seems that only Chu Yang knows Tobirama Senju's intentions.
The primary task of the Anbu organization is to protect the Hokage's safety in secret. Secondly, it is a special assassination tactical unit, specifically responsible for sniping important enemy figures.
During special periods, reconnaissance of enemy positions and prevention of foreign invasion are the lowest priority duties.
Protecting the Hokage is of paramount importance.
Putting aside everything else, entrusting Hashirama Senju's safety to Izuna Uchiha already demonstrated Tobirama Senju's trust in the Uchiha clan.
This would greatly gain the favor of the Uchiha clan members and even Uchiha Izuna himself.
Needless to say.
Is there any risk involved in this decision?
Of course there is.
However, the risk was still within a manageable range, because Izuna Uchiha was not strong enough to threaten Hashirama Senju, and even if he betrayed them, he could not harm Hashirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju had already considered this point.
Then, at Chu Yang's suggestion, Tobirama Senju himself planned to plant a special team within the Anbu to secretly monitor the entire Anbu's operations.
This is the "Root" that Shimura Danzo later established.
Based on these two points, Tobirama Senju relinquished the position of head of the Anbu to Izuna Uchiha. Of course, he would have other arrangements to ensure everything went smoothly.
What Chu Yang truly found fascinating was the position of Hokage's assistant.
Who has more power, the Hokage's assistant or the head of the Anbu?
Most people would choose the head of the secret service!
Aren't Hokage's assistants just people who run errands for the Hokage? What power could they possibly have?
But don't forget that given Hashirama Senju's personality, he would definitely leave all the big and small matters to his younger brother Tobirama.
Tobirama Senju would then become the actual controller of the Hokage's power.
Everyone felt that Tobirama Senju sacrificed his rightful power for the sake of the village's peace and stability, but in reality, he didn't lose any of his power; he just hid it.
Madara Uchiha might have noticed something amiss, but he wouldn't have given it much thought, because the powerful and influential Anbu was already in the hands of his younger brother, Izuna.
Moreover, he knew Hashirama Senju well and knew that the latter couldn't handle those troublesome official duties and would definitely delegate authority to his younger brother.
After resolving the issues with the secret service, the second thing to do was to establish the security department.
Because of the Anbu, Tobirama Senju handed over half of the Security Department's power to the Hyuga clan.
As a major clan whose power is second only to the Senju and Uchiha clans, the Hyuga clan has both the weight and the right to claim a share of the power pie.
The security forces, which should have been controlled by the Uchiha clan, now had a force that could counterbalance them.
Even so, the Uchiha clan still didn't lose out.
Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju also took the opportunity to win over a wave of Hyuga clan members.
