Chapter 19: Arranged clearly

Outrageous!

Outrageous to the extreme!

The atmosphere at the voting scene was eerily creepy. Representatives of various clans said nothing, quietly watching the four brothers standing together.

The scene was magical.

Even Chu Yang had goosebumps all over, fearing that the stunt he had pulled on a whim would fail.

But fortunately, the development of things did not exceed the trajectory of fate, it was just a little off.

Except for Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, only a portion of the people voted for Uchiha Madara.

Those people were all arranged by Senju Tobirama in advance.

Everything was within the plan.

Uchiha Madara was a little disappointed with the result. He knew that his reputation among the people of Konoha Village was not as good as Senju Hashirama's, but he didn't expect it to be so disparate.

However, he eventually chose to accept it calmly, and even Yuzhi Bo Quannai had no objections.

"Madara..." Senju Hashirama looked at his good friend with full apologies.

Seeming sorry for becoming the Hokage himself.

Feeling Senju Hashirama's sincere 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 that, Senju Hashirama no longer pushed back. With gratitude, he accepted his good friend's entrustment and, surrounded by the crowd, announced that he had become the First Hokage of Konoha Village.

During the time when many clan representatives and people came forward to congratulate, Yuzhi Bo Quannai slowly walked to Senju Tobirama's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"I can understand now why my older brother could become good friends with him." Yuzhi Bo Quannai said sincerely, "He... Lord Hokage indeed has a special kind of personal charm. I hope Konoha Village can get better and better under his leadership."

Senju Tobirama nodded and said, "Lord Older Brother will not let anyone down. You can rest assured."

Suddenly, Yuzhi Bo Quannai made a move that Senju Tobirama did not expect.

He reached out his hand towards Senju Tobirama and smiled, "Let's get to know each other again. Uchiha Clan, Yuzhi Bo Quannai."

Senju Tobirama was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person deeply and reached out his hand, "Senju Clan, Senju Tobirama."

As representatives of the pro-war factions of their respective clans, the handshake between these two was even more eye-catching than the handshake between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara on the other side.

Chu Yang, standing outside the crowd, watched this scene with interest, but suddenly felt a look of affirmation from Senju Tobirama.

It meant, "Kid, your schemes and tricks are quite useful."

Chu Yang: "..."

Because of Chu Yang's pushing, the development trajectory of Konoha Village was a little different from the original plot.

And the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan also entered a honeymoon period of development unheard of in history.

As time passed day by day, one major event after another happened in Konoha, enough to affect the development of the entire village.

The first thing: under the leadership of Senju Tobirama, Konoha officially established the Anbu! Originally, everyone thought that Senju Tobirama would naturally become the person in charge of the Anbu, but no one expected that he would actually give this crucial position to Yuzhi Bo Quannai.

Senju Tobirama took a step back and became the Hokage's assistant!

Everyone thought that Senju Tobirama had made a sacrifice, including the Uchiha Clan.

It seemed that only Chu Yang knew Senju Tobirama's intention.

First of all, the primary duty of the Anbu organization is to protect the safety of the Hokage in secret, and secondly, it is a special assassination tactical unit, specifically responsible for sniping important figures of the enemy.

Reconnoitering enemy situations and preventing foreign invasion during special periods are the lowest priority duties. Protecting the Hokage is the top priority.

Not to mention anything else, handing over Senju Hashirama's safety to Yuzhi Bo Quannai already expressed Senju Tobirama's trust in the Uchiha Clan.

This can greatly gain the favor of the Uchiha clansmen and even Yuzhi Bo Quannai himself.

Undoubtedly.

Does this decision have risks?

Of course it does.

However, the risk is still within the manageable range, because Yuzhi Bo Quannai's strength is not enough to threaten Senju Hashirama, and even if he rebels, he cannot harm Senju Hashirama.

Senju Tobirama had already considered this point.

Then, under Chu Yang's suggestion, Senju Tobirama himself prepared to insert a special squad within the Anbu to secretly monitor the actions of the entire Anbu.

That is the 【Root】 established by Shimura Danzo later.

Based on these two points, Senju Tobirama would give the position of Anbu head to Yuzhi Bo Quannai. Of course, he would have other arrangements later to ensure nothing goes wrong.

What really made Chu Yang feel wonderful was the position of Hokage's assistant.

Who has more power, the Hokage's assistant or the Anbu head?

Most people would choose the Anbu head! Isn't the Hokage's assistant just someone who runs errands for the Hokage? What power can there be?

But don't forget Senju Hashirama's personality; he would definitely take all matters, big and small, and dump them on his younger brother Tobirama.

And Senju Tobirama would become the actual controller of the Hokage's power.

Everyone thinks that Senju Tobirama sacrificed his own power for the peaceful and stable development of the village, but in reality, the power in his hands has not decreased at all, it was just hidden.

Uchiha Madara might see the clues, but he would never think too much, because the Anbu, with its transcendent power and status, was already in the hands of his younger brother Izuna.

Moreover, he knew Senju Hashirama very well and knew that the other party could not handle those headache-inducing official duties and would definitely delegate power to his own younger brother.

After the Anbu problem was solved, the second thing was the establishment of the Police Force.

Still because of the Anbu, Senju Tobirama gave half of the power of the Police Force to the Hyuga Clan.

As a large clan second only to the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan has the weight and reason to share a piece of the power cake.

The Police Force, which should have been controlled by the Uchiha Clan, now had a force that could check and balance them.

Even so, the Uchiha Clan still did not lose out.

And Senju Tobirama also took the opportunity to win over the hearts of the Hyuga Clan.

With this arrangement, the Uchiha Clan gained many benefits, but Uchiha Madara, as the clan head, only obtained the status of a senior advisor, without any actual benefits.

What's terrible is that no one thinks there is a problem!

Even within the Uchiha Clan, there are no objections.

Besides these two major events, the third thing is the one that has long-term significance for the development of Konoha Village.

The establishment of the Konoha Ninja Academy!

Letting children who have been devastated by war have a place to grow up healthily, letting them train, and having the ability to protect themselves, this is the common wish of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Senju Tobirama, who is good at teaching young people ninjutsu, was also elected by everyone as the first principal of the school.

And Chu Yang, as the First Hokage and Senju Tobirama's direct disciple, became the first teacher in the school.
