Chapter 17: Why do you always make me angry?

Uchiha Madara lost!

He lost, without any surprise.

Even though Chu Yang had long known the outcome, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for him; from the very beginning, it was impossible for Uchiha Madara to defeat an anomaly like Senju Hashirama.

Why was the later Uchiha Madara so obsessed with obtaining Hashirama's cells? It wasn't just to gain the power of the Rinnegan, but also for that terrifying self-healing ability.

Compared to Senju Hashirama's self-healing ability, it is estimated that most Tailed Beasts cannot even be mentioned in the same breath.

After Uchiha Madara was defeated, Senju Hashirama did not kill him, but instead requested once again that he form an alliance, hoping the two of them could build a peaceful village together.

Lying on the ground, Uchiha Madara had a complex expression. He muttered, "The Uchiha Clan has lost, and I have lost as well."

Even without this battle, the Uchiha would have met the same fate; it was the trend of the times, and they had not the slightest chance.

Uchiha Madara, whose younger brother Izuna was still alive in this world, had not yet fallen into a state of paranoia. He hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

At the same time, Chu Yang clearly felt the killing intent constantly emanating from Senju Tobirama; it was evident that he was very dissatisfied with his older brother's actions.

Why not kill Uchiha Madara? That person was destined to become a source of instability! Senju Tobirama saw further than Hashirama; what he saw was not just Uchiha Madara the person, but the entire Uchiha family!

Unless the Senju Clan was willing to relinquish their leading position, these people would sooner or later revolt, because the power they possessed was too great.

No powerful family is willing to submit to others! If it weren't for the fact that a monster like Senju Hashirama had emerged, the one who lost today might have been the Senju Clan.

"Teacher, there is no need to worry about the Uchiha Clan. This family is not united in itself; every clan head has risen to power relying on their own formidable strength. We only need to constantly win them over and divide them, and the Uchiha Clan will never be able to grow strong."

The young voice suddenly startled Senju Tobirama, who was in a state of anger. He looked at Chu Yang, lost in thought.

Senju Tobirama asked, "If it were you, what would you intend to do?"

Chu Yang smiled: "Establish a department that looks high in status but has no real power, hold them up high, and specifically assign them those missions with an extremely low survival rate."

"Let them accept people's praise and enjoy the halo of heroes on one hand, while letting them willingly go to their deaths... or rather, sacrifice themselves, on the other."

"You can think of it as a form of high-level moral kidnapping."

"Moral kidnapping?" Senju Tobirama muttered this term he was hearing for the first time, his eyes flickering with a faint light. He could not deny that Chu Yang's viewpoint was quite interesting.

But after careful consideration, Senju Tobirama still shook his head and said, "What you said is too simple. Uchiha Madara is not a fool; he would see through your little tricks at a glance. It would be better to restrict their power from the beginning and slowly weaken them until they are unable to resist."

Chu Yang explained, "This plan must start from the emotional aspect. We need to make the Uchiha Clan develop a sense of belonging to the village that the Clan Head is about to build. We cannot let them become marginalized people in the village, otherwise, they will firmly huddle together for warmth and, under external pressure, become increasingly united."

"Divide them from the emotional aspect... create a sense of belonging... moral kidnapping... die under the halo of heroes..." Senju Tobirama closed his eyes, Chu Yang's voice constantly echoing in his mind. His viewpoint was very strange, and upon closer inspection, it was even a bit chilling.

As the saying goes, a soft knife cuts the deepest, especially a rusty one...

"Using beautiful emotions as bait, you are simply playing with people's hearts." Senju Tobirama suddenly narrowed his eyes. "It's a good thing you are from the Senju Clan, kid, otherwise I would definitely be the first to kill you."

Chu Yang curled his lips and said, "Teacher, you are being unkind by saying that. I only gave you ideas because I saw you were worried. Aren't you killing the donkey after it has finished grinding the mill?" "Hmph!" Senju Tobirama's mouth curled up slightly. Chu Yang had provided him with a new way of thinking to solve the problem, which made his mood much better.

He vaguely felt that this was more vicious... and more appropriate than the approach of suppressing the Uchiha openly.

It also avoided conflict with his older brother Hashirama over the Uchiha Clan; it was simply killing two birds with one stone.

When the sky was just beginning to brighten, Senju Tobirama took Chu Yang and returned to the encampment first, rushing to the dungeon without stopping, and then orderly released the Uchiha clansmen.

The sealing jutsu was not lifted; releasing them was just to make it convenient for doctors to treat them.

Next, they would wait for the Uchiha Clan to come and collect their people. After all, under the promotion of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the union of the two great clans was a certainty. Bestowing some small favors in advance was beneficial for winning people's hearts.

Senju Tobirama's prestige within the clan was very high; even though he acted on his own initiative to release the enemies, not a single clansman raised any questions.

This made Chu Yang marvel.

"Senju Tobirama, what exactly are you trying to do?" Yuzhi Bo Quannai walked up to Senju Tobirama, his face full of question marks. He didn't understand this move at all.

Senju Tobirama glanced at him and said indifferently, "The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan have already planned to hold peace talks. Releasing you is just to ensure the peace talks proceed smoothly."

"Why would you want to hold peace talks when you have such a great advantage in hand..." Yuzhi Bo Quannai suddenly asked with surprise, "Is it because Senju Hashirama was defeated by my older brother?"

"Wake up! Even if they fought 100 more times, Uchiha Madara could never defeat my older brother!" Senju Tobirama said with disdain. "Uchiha Madara lost, but my older brother has decided to let bygones be bygones, put aside prejudices, and cooperate with you. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Impossible!" Yuzhi Bo Quannai's face changed drastically, his heart turning to ash. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Uchiha Clan will never accept peace talks."

Chu Yang looked at him with curiosity and asked, "Then how long do you plan to fight? Until the Uchiha Clan is wiped out? Even Uchiha Madara has lost, what do you have to fight us with?"

"Pfft!"

Yuzhi Bo Quannai was left speechless by Chu Yang's retort, and once again, out of extreme anger, he spat out a mouthful of hot blood!

This was already the third time! Every word was like a knife to the heart! He looked at this youth with resentment. Why don't you anger anyone else, but specifically target me? In the evening, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara came to the Senju Clan's encampment together, followed by the previously captured Senju clansmen.

Senju Tobirama, who had been prepared long ago, also handed the Uchiha clansmen over to Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara looked at him with surprise.

In his memory, Senju Tobirama was not such an easy person to talk to.

However...

Next, Senju Tobirama even said a sentence that shocked him.

"From now on, we are comrades!"
