Naruto: the Uchiha Rules the World

"Too much," The Third Hokage tried to bargain.

Rengoku shook his finger, "No room for negotiation. Either Danzo dies, or give those two streets to us Uchiha."

"Our Uchiha Sharingan, Danzo never returned them."

It looked like Rengoku was trying to force Danzo to death, but in fact, when he learned from the Hyuga clan that Root and Anbu were mixed together, he already knew that whether proactively or passively, Sarutobi Hiruzen absolutely did not dare to kill Danzo.

Anbu itself was an extremely secretive organization. Some didn't even know the identities of their own subordinates.

In such a situation, with Root mixed in, once Danzo became desperate, Anbu would suffer heavy losses.

But if Root didn't infiltrate, Danzo would never surrender willingly.

The ones most loyal to the Third Hokage were undoubtedly the two departments.

One was his own private army, the Sarutobi clan.

The other was Anbu.

If Anbu suffered heavy losses, the Third Hokage would lose his eyes and ears, becoming a deaf and blind man.

The principle of "preserve people and lose land, both survive; preserve land and lose people, both perish," was clearly understood by the Third Hokage.

His gaze slightly darkened, "Isn't your Uchiha clan a bit too greedy?"

Rengoku countered sharply,"No need for you to worry about that."

"Kumogakure and Iwagakure's people are already at the border."

Rengoku's intelligence naturally came from Itachi, and the other side from Otogakure's intel, because Otogakure was right next to the Land of Hot Water.

With such large-scale troop movements, it was still a bit difficult to keep it hidden.

Konoha also couldn't negotiate right now, because Iwagakure and Kumogakure had no intention of entering the Land of Fire yet.

Going now would just be quarreling.

The Third Hokage slowly smoked his pipe, a thoughtful look on his face.

Rengoku wasn't in a rush either, and just quietly watched the Third Hokage's performance.

Perhaps the Third Hokage had finished his act and opened his mouth:

"No problem, but on the condition that your Uchiha clan is responsible for driving Kumogakure and Iwagakure back."

Rengoku let out a cold laugh, "Iwagakure and Kumogakure together have over a thousand people, and you want us Uchiha to handle it?"

The Third Hokage replied coldly, "You Uchiha also need to show sincerity."

Rengoku spread his hands, "If you want us Uchiha to do these things, then no Anbu are allowed to appear inside the school."

"Since you want to protect Danzo, then all of Orochimaru's crimes will be borne by Danzo."

The Third Hokage took his pipe and knocked it on the windowsill, "I will handle Orochimaru's matter."

"If you, Fugaku, and Itachi do not enter the school, and school security is maintained by you, I am willing to hand over the school to you."

Rengoku understood the Third Hokage's intention. If Naruto's information got exposed, Naruto would definitely need to go back to school.

If he, with his Mangekyo, was there, he could control Naruto at any time.

Rengoku chuckled. Did he really need to go personally to control the Nine-Tails?

"No problem. After all, the school is just filled with some little kids."

He agreed smoothly, but what happened afterward, was anyone's guess.

"Iwagakure and Kumogakure, just leave them to us Uchiha."

After speaking, Rengoku stepped back half a step, making space for Hiashi.

Hiashi still went through the formalities, "Hokage-sama, our Hyuga clan's Byakugan is so effective."

"I believe that patrol, barrier, and detection departments should all be handed over to our Hyuga clan."

The Third Hokage immediately refused, "No. These have always been under Anbu's management."

"Although your Hyuga clan has strong abilities, these departments can't be completely handed over to you..."

"If that's the case..."

The Third Hokage was much more assertive when facing Hyuga Hiashi.

He began to bargain with Hiashi.

After all, what the Third Hokage feared was the Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan.

The Hyuga clan's Byakugan was indeed strong, but these departments were the eyes and ears of the entire Konoha.

If they were entirely controlled by the Hyuga, then all of Konoha's high command would become deaf and blind again.

After haggling for a long time, Hiashi was only allowed to place a portion of Hyuga personnel into one department.

That was already the limit.

Hiashi knew when to stop. These kinds of sensory departments were definitely impossible to control entirely.

Uchiha ate meat, and the Hyuga just drank soup, that was good enough.

"The other matters, the village will issue related announcements tomorrow."

"As for Asazume and Kanro Streets, the property deeds and land deeds will be handed over to you later."

After the two sides finished negotiating, Rengoku and Hiashi left the Hokage building together.

In the Third Hokage's eyes was endless depth. This concession was only to accumulate strength.

He wondered how things were going on Jiraiya's side.

Right now, only by getting her back to Konoha could the situation be stabilized.

———

Rengoku and Hiashi walked out of the Hokage's office together.

They still had to walk some distance before parting ways.

Rengoku also spoke, "Hiashi-sama, from now on, our two clans should become closer."

Since Fugaku hadn't come, and only Rengoku had come, Hiashi had already realized that the next Uchiha clan leader would definitely be Rengoku.

In his heart, he sighed at how heroes come from youth, but on his lips he politely said, "Naturally so. Compared to the Third, our Hyuga clan prefers to cooperate with your Uchiha."

The Hyuga clan also had their own headaches, but based on recent events, they had gained significant political benefits, which was a good thing.

"Hahaha...", Rengoku gave a polite laugh.

Then the two exchanged a few commercial praises before parting ways.

Rengoku gave his shadow body an order to return to the clan and inform Fugaku and Kairen of these matters.

Then his consciousness transferred to the clone far away in the Land of Earth.

At this moment, it was still afternoon. Itachi was moving quickly, heading toward Iwagakure.

After all, he alone couldn't stop Kitsuchi and those five hundred Iwa-nin.

It was better to fulfill Rengoku's instructions and capture Deidara if possible.

When Rengoku's clone appeared from Itachi's shadow, Itachi immediately sensed it.

He tapped lightly on a rock, and his figure stopped, "Senpai."

Rengoku nodded slightly, "Any intel?"

Itachi replied, "I bought some information from the black market."

"Seems fairly reliable."

"Around Yellow Rock City in the Land of Earth, there are traces of him. From here to there is only a few hours' journey."

Rengoku pondered for a moment, "Konoha has undergone some changes..."

Then Rengoku told Itachi about their dealings with Konoha.

"This time, when you go to Yellow Rock City, if you find traces of Deidara, notify me. If you don't, then divert and pursue Kitsuchi's unit."

Itachi's expression was solemn, "Don't worry, Senpai. I will definitely stop Kitsuchi's unit."

Rengoku waved a finger, "Don't worry too much. If they really wanted to invade the Land of Fire, it wouldn't be just this many people."

"Go check out Yellow Rock City first. If there's no special situation with Kitsuchi, he'll likely stay there for quite some time."

"If battle is needed, I will send someone to reinforce you."

"I understand."
