"You can’t kill Danzo, can you? Fine, then I’ll borrow Konoha’s hands to build my own power. Now you have nothing to say, right?"

"..."

What the hell is the Guardian Twelve Ninja? Tsunade felt like cursing!

This nonsense, the Daimyo had already tried it, but Konoha didn’t allow it. Eventually, the Daimyo could only make a superficial show by hiring expensive ninjas to make up the numbers.

Unfortunately, they were all useless, none of them could actually fight!

Since you won’t kill Danzo, I’m going to start wielding the high-raised hoe.

Danzo and the Daimyo’s support, along with a few people being poached, Tsunade began to weigh her options and finally gritted her teeth:

"Fine, Konoha can provide support, but I hope the Daimyo’s demands aren’t too excessive. For instance, Uchiha Shisui can’t stay in the Daimyo’s side indefinitely."

"....."

The Daimyo, who had just started smiling, had his smile freeze.

He really liked Shisui, who was strong, reliable, and filled with respect for him.

Most importantly, Shisui didn’t get involved in forming cliques like the other useless ninjas he had hired. Who wouldn’t like such a subordinate?

But Tsunade’s words shattered his plans.

Shisui couldn’t stay in the Daimyo’s mansion to serve him, as this was Kazuki’s request. Therefore, Tsunade would never agree to the Daimyo’s demand.

If it were the Third Hokage, he might have considered it, but Tsunade wouldn’t even entertain the idea.

I’ve shown my sincerity and made concessions, but Konoha isn’t showing any sincerity at all.

The Daimyo was really upset now, and even his look towards Tsunade became uncomfortable.

He leaned lazily on his chair, laughing coldly.

Although his anger wasn’t directed at Tsunade, it was aimed at Konoha, but he couldn’t help feeling displeased.

"Hehehe...."

The Daimyo laughed sarcastically several times, and seeing that Tsunade remained unmoved, he gave up.

"Fine, since you can’t spare Uchiha Shisui, then give me Kakashi.

Oh, and Sarutobi Hiruzen’s son, I’ve heard he’s quite unruly in Konoha?

Send him to me, I’d welcome him."

You mess with me, I’ll mess with your son, and I’ll brainwash him while I’m at it!!

The Daimyo wasn’t planning to let Asuma go.

I can’t get to your father, so I’ll get to you!

Poor Asuma didn’t know he had been singled out.

There’s no problem with Asuma, Tsunade also found the boy annoying. She had wanted to teach Asuma a lesson along the way, using him as an example,

But this guy, although causing trouble, never dared to act out in front of her.

Tsunade wanted to punish him but couldn’t find a suitable excuse to use Asuma as an example.

"Fine, but Kakashi is currently working in the Anbu and needs some time to transition. He might be late arriving here."

The Daimyo had shown his sincerity, and Tsunade also needed to reciprocate.

Otherwise, if the Daimyo got angry, it would be bad for everyone.

Tsunade also believed that the Third Hokage could accept the Daimyo’s condition.

Danzo couldn’t make a comeback, and Asuma and Kakashi would just have to be sacrificed for the village.

After all, it’s only for a few years. When the time is right, they’ll find an excuse to transfer them back.

Supporting you doesn’t mean the people are yours.

With sufficient reasons, they can still be transferred.

With Tsunade taking the lead and the Daimyo willing to give face and make concessions, the negotiations became much simpler.

Unlike the time when the Third Hokage and Homura were in charge, the Daimyo didn’t even bother to respond to them.

Some detailed negotiations still needed to be discussed, and Tsunade had to patiently deal with the Daimyo.

Meanwhile, Kazuki was meeting with Shisui.

Outside the Daimyo’s castle, in a secluded grove, Kazuki sat on a tree trunk, looking at Shisui with a smile and teasing him:

"It seems you’re not happy at the mansion."

"Yes."

Facing Kazuki’s teasing, Shisui could only smile bitterly.

"There are no clan members or family here. All I see are various underhanded schemes, cliques, suppression, and fighting."

Talking about these things gave Shisui a headache.

He had thought the factional issues within the Uchiha were serious enough, but compared to this, the Uchiha was nothing.

The Daimyo’s mansion was a real spectacle, even the level of darkness was shocking.

The funniest thing was that these people played their schemes with no brains at all.

Have you ever seen someone who, when they fail to recruit, immediately turns around and suppresses the other party?

Isn’t this just forcing the other person to become your enemy?

Luckily, Shisui had no interest in dealing with these things.

If it were someone else, they might have directly gotten involved, maybe even flipping the table, "You disgust me, I’ll flip the table and take you all down."

Those who were scheming in the dark, Shisui could make them disappear overnight. In the face of absolute power, all schemes were just paper-thin.

"Yes, schemes are everywhere, be it in the clan, the village, or the Daimyo. In fact, it’s worse in here."

Kazuki looked at the sky and sighed:

"Itachi has changed a lot recently. He can now smile at others, and the pressure and burden on him are much lighter."

"Shisui, you’ve given Itachi too much pressure. He’s still young, many things are not his responsibility."

"Perhaps I was wrong."

Seeing Itachi change made Shisui happy for him but also sad and guilty.

"Yes, you were wrong. You are kind-hearted and willing to selflessly give everything for the clan and the village.

You are stubborn and difficult to change once you make up your mind, just like with the clan and the village.

But you don’t realize that what you’re doing doesn’t improve the tension between the clan and the village, it actually makes it worse."

"Shisui."

Kazuki looked back at him, his eyes filled with expectation and regret:

"The Uchiha is sick, very sick. I always thought the elders and the clan leader were the best doctors who could cure the Uchiha and make them strong again.

But I was wrong, their actions have been disappointing."

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Kazuki continued:

"It’s funny, but I stood up because I saw no hope. I don’t like getting involved in these things, but to heal the Uchiha, I had to stand up.

If there are no doctors, then I’ll be the doctor. If there’s no scalpel, I’ll find one myself.

I’ll cut off the rotten flesh from the Uchiha and make them healthy and strong again."

"But one person’s strength is limited, so I need helpers. We are a family, we should be united.

Unfortunately, you are too stubborn."

Shisui lowered his head, clenched his teeth, and tightened his fists.

Every word from Kazuki was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, causing him unbearable pain.

"Shisui, you are a person with a strong sense of responsibility. I believe you will give everything for the Uchiha and Konoha.

So, my clansman, my brother, please tell me, can I still trust you?"

Kazuki extended his hand towards Shisui.

"I....."

With red eyes and bulging veins on his hand, the deeply remorseful Shisui looked at the extended hand in shock.

"The responsibilities that the clan leader and elders can’t bear will be borne by us.

For the clan, for the village, can you bear everything?

Even if it means becoming a sinner in everyone’s eyes, bearing the blame....."

"I can accept it."

Both hands firmly grasped Kazuki’s extended hand, holding it tightly, their intertwined hands turning almost white from the pressure.
