Chapter 28 Rejection
The living room suddenly became silent, and Uzumaki Mito recalled the first meeting through Runyu's description.
"You were cute and cute back then, and the dipping sauce you prepared by yourself was very delicious." Uzumaki Mito said in agreement.
"At that time, Grandma Mito had kind eyes and was always stroking Tsunade's hair and smiling, but now her eyes are full of utility."
He shook his head with a look of regret, which was a nostalgia for the beautiful past.
Uzumaki Mito was silent again. She vaguely understood that she might not be able to get what she wanted today, but she couldn't figure out why Runyu refused.
"I reject."
Runyu said his decision very calmly, and everyone turned their attention to Uchiha Fugaku, who was always paddling. At this time, only he could stop... Runyu.
"I refuse too."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke up, concluding the whole matter.
"Why did you refuse?" Uzumaki Mito asked slightly puzzled.
Runyu stood up and looked around at everyone.
"If Konoha is really on the verge of overthrowing, let alone 30%... I would be willing to give out even 90%, but the truth is that Konoha's situation at this time is not at all hopeless.
It's just an excuse for your own selfish desires! This is contrary to the original concept of Konoha when it was founded, and it is even more contrary to the will of fire proposed by the first Hokage. As the wife of the first Hokage, Mito-sama...can't understand fire.
The will is really... a very sad thing."
His figure is not tall but seems to have some kind of power. Runyu stared into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and said.
Uzumaki Mito was surprised with a bit of sullenness. This was really not like the consciousness a child could have, or maybe he was just acting... Then he was really a peerless actor.
"The Mist ninja is no longer a concern, but the Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja are still eyeing each other. Their overall strength has not suffered much loss. Mito-sama should be guarding the Third Raikage on the Kumo ninja battlefield instead of standing here for personal gain."
Runyu said slowly, and everyone had to admit that what he said made some sense.
Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen were suddenly speechless. Their enemies were more eloquent than in their images, and they could always stand on a high moral ground.
"So...there is no possibility of negotiation on this matter?" Uzumaki Mito said every word. No one knew what this old man would do after she refused.
"I remember back then, Mito-sama made a promise to me...you owe me a favor...as long as you promise not to do anything to the medicinal bath business in the future."
"I can't promise..." Uzumaki Mito shook his head. "The profits brought by medicinal baths are too huge, and the current Uchiha clan is not qualified to grasp them."
When she spoke next, her voice was already somewhat cold, and Uchiha Fugaku subconsciously tensed up.
"Mito-sama doesn't want to use force to force us..." Runyu lowered his head and looked a little embarrassed.
"I can't do this kind of thing by force." Uzumaki Mito denied.
"When you scolded me just now, you didn't seem at all afraid that I would blow your head off. There is a shortage of ninja tools on the front line. I hope the Uchiha clan can sponsor some." Uzumaki Mito then spoke as if the coldness had dissipated and the warmth of spring had blossomed.
Uzumaki Mito's sudden backstab made Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was traveling with him, somewhat dissatisfied. At this time, he completely chose to wait and see.
The expansion of the scope of the Ninja War has caused the price of Ninja Tools to skyrocket, especially hard currency items such as detonating charms, which have doubled in price.
"It's okay to donate a few ninja tools..." Runyu nodded. He was very willing to do this kind of behavior that could increase his recognition points. "We will hold a fund-raising event like last time."
"How many detonating charms can the Uchiha clan provide?" At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, the medicinal bath business can wait until the Ninja War is over, but it is urgent on the Iwa Ninja battlefield.
"Ten billion!"
The last time he blew up the Mist Ninja camp, Runyu used 300 billion detonating talismans, and currently he still has 300 billion left in his hand.
"!!! So much?" Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Mito's expressions changed slightly. The water in the Uchiha clan seemed to be much deeper than they imagined.
"In order for Konoha to win the war, our clan is duty-bound!" Runyu said firmly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi held his pipe in his mouth and chuckled, whether it was true or false, his goal was almost achieved.
"Hokage-sama, do you still remember the words I gave you?" Runyu asked with a smile.
"Keep it in your heart! What is private is temporary, what is public is eternal." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied sonorously and forcefully.
The golden card rotated up and down on Runyu's fingertips, leaving a faint golden trail. It was a gift he specially prepared for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Mito. Then he threw the golden card in his hand towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki.
Mito.
"A little bit of thought."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the card and looked at it, and found that it was a work of art with extremely exquisite workmanship.
The back is engraved with patterns of flames and auspicious clouds, and the texture is twisted to form the word "Sarutobi", but it has a special sense of beauty.
On the front of the card is a monkey wearing a ninja battle suit, carrying a stick thicker than his thigh on his shoulder, looking majestic.
This monkey's face is nearly 90% similar to Sarutobi Hiruzen, with lively eyes and a smiling brow.
There was no rebellious look on his body, but instead he looked like a wise man with clear and clear eyes.
His back is not broad, but it has the power to carry the mountain, and it has an indestructible determination. There is a floral carving in the corner of the card: Where the wooden leaves are flying, the fire is endless.
In terms of appearance and value, this is a very good gift.
"Thank you Mr. Runyu, I like it very much." Since that heart-to-heart talk, he began to use honorifics towards Runyu.
On the other hand, Uzumaki Mito was also looking at the gift thrown by Junyu.
The back of the card is filled with huge whirlpools, like the tip of a typhoon, and seems to carry energy that overturns the world.
The emblem of the Uzumaki clan naturally forms at the core of the whirlpool.
Uzumaki Mito looked at the card, but he felt faintly palpitated, as if he was holding a dangerous explosive in his hand.
Of course she would not have thought that the sculptor had used superb skills to insert nearly a hundred deadly sword energy into the gaps in the spiral.
On the front of the golden card is the scene of her suppressing the Nine-Tails in the Valley of the End. The giant beast is violent and fierce. The nine tails dance wildly and can easily break trees and destroy rocks.
But this giant beast was tightly restrained by golden chains. The source of all this was Uzumaki Mito when he was young.
It's as lifelike as a stroke of genius, so similar... This card perfectly shows the beauty of her youth and the ferocity of Kyuubi... It's as if the author of the golden card... has personally seen the battle that took place in the Valley of the End.
"I like this gift very much. Was it carved by Runyu himself?" Uzumaki Mito put away the golden card and asked with a smile, while she was confirming.
"Yes." Runyu replied.
"Then let's get back to the topic..." Apart from the two warring parties, he was the only one watching the battle. She didn't believe that someone could hide from the two strongest ninjas and watch the battle secretly. Then Runyu could carve such a
The picture looked a little weird... She didn't say anything.
"As Runyu said, the Mist ninja is no longer a concern, but the Iwa ninja still needs the Uchiha clan to support the front line."
After a while, Uzumaki Mito spoke with a businesslike expression. This was naked revenge... and a conspiracy. The Uchiha clan had no reason to refuse this order.
Junyu sighed silently. His behavior completely offended Uzumaki Mito. She might not do anything excessive for the stability of Konoha during the war, but she could use the wartime to reasonably weaken the Uchiha clan and take revenge on Junyu.
Jade's rebuttal offends.
Revenge came too suddenly, like a gust of wind.
"Most of the Uchiha clan's able-bodied people are still at the border to be wary of the Mist ninja. Why not recall those clan members first, and then we can support the Iwa ninja front line." Uchiha Fugaku said in a consultative tone.
At this time, he was the only one who could step forward. After all, he was the leader of the Uchiha clan.
"Can."
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded, since Uchiha is willing to donate 10 billion detonating talismans, it is reasonable to delay it for a few days. These 10 billion detonating talismans can be a shot in the arm of Konoha's army.
The few of them discussed some more details, then got up and left. To leave the living room, you need to walk through a long wooden corridor. This is the residence of the Uchiha clan, which is full of decorations with flame textures. Open the outermost door to correspond.
There is a huge training ground.
Oshima Ryunosuke was hiding in a corner of the training ground to comprehend the hidden power. Since the death of Uchiha-san, Uchiha River has never looked for Akai Mizuki again.
In this regard, Runyu had to lament Uchiha Tsuru's cunningness. On the one hand, he used his own grandson to show his favor to him, but on the other hand, he secretly turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Mito.
There was no loss in grasping it with both hands, but he didn't expect that Uchiha-san would die suddenly, breaking his plan to have both sides.
As everyone passed the training ground, the maid serving tea followed silently behind them. Her eyes were dim and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
When Mito Uzumaki saw the vast and deserted training ground, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Fugaku, I heard that you defeated that guy Uchiha Tsuru yesterday. Do you want to fight me today?"
Uzumaki Mito didn't leave Uchiha Fugaku any time to choose. As soon as she finished speaking, she took off the black haori in an instant, revealing the red ninja combat uniform... and the layered armor on the outside.
Uzumaki suddenly turned sideways, and just now she felt a flash of killing intent, which was not strong but extremely cold.
"Then please give me some advice, Mito-sama."
Uchiha Fugaku didn't follow his intentions at all. It was impossible for Uzumaki Mito to kill him in public. At most, he would have to endure some hardships but gain experience in fighting strong men... In short, it was not a loss.
He slowly moved his muscles, and the bones on his body let out a soft roar, and the muscle rhythm reached the most perfect state. The muscles all over his body bulged slightly, and his whole body faintly expanded... He did not intend to hold back against Uzumaki Mito... including hiding it as a trump card.
The bright energy.
"Why don't you let me try?" An inappropriate voice suddenly appeared, and Runyu let go of Uchiha Fugaku and held the Zangfeng in his hand.
"Don't make trouble...you might get killed."
Uchiha Fugaku advised with some worry.
"I might be a little better than you..."
