Uchiha's opinion

"A sign of troubled times, rites collapse and joy breaks down..."

Daming Mansion of the Land of Fire.

The daimyo sat in the palace with a gloomy expression.

All the ministers and nobles were downcast and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Originally they thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu in Konoha Ninja Village in their own country was already arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect that the arrogance of Sand Hidden Village on the border was even worse.

Although this incident happened in the Land of Wind, which is still far away from the Land of Fire, the impact behind this event is extremely shocking.

Especially when there is an extremely domineering Uchiha Tokumitsu in the Land of Fire, the princes and nobles immediately trembled when they thought that the Tokumitsu shogunate would probably follow suit.

"... Tsunade Hime's plan for subjugating sand hermits did not receive the support of the Konoha Senate."

Hattori Heiji, the leader of the attendants, noticed that Daimyo's face softened a little, and he mustered up his courage and said, "However, according to the contacts of the Senju Clan, General Tokumitsu has sent an envoy to make an appointment with Hime Tsunade to discuss this matter."

"Konoha..."

Daimyo felt a terrible headache, so he covered his face with the folding fan in his hand and rubbed his temples a few times.

"Will the Governor's Mansion send troops?"

The daimyo put down his folding fan, and asked with a gloomy face: "Konoha's military power is in the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu. If he agrees to conquer Sand Yin, Konoha's so-called Senate and House of Representatives should not stop it?"

"...Konoha and the two courts are not obstructing, but expressing that they have no interest in participating in the internal affairs of the Land of Wind."

Hattori Heiji said in a low voice.

"Blocking" and "not interested" are two different attitudes.

"Blocking" the proposal to conquer Sand Hidden shows that they are opposed to launching a war; but if it is just "not interested", then the Konoha Ninja's attitude is just that it has nothing to do with themselves, even if other people in the village intend to participate in the war, it doesn't matter anyway. Just leave them alone.

Moreover, for the Konoha ninjas who expressed "no interest" in participating in the war, they actually had the opportunity to raise their desire to participate in the war through some benefit delivery.

Hattori Heiji raised his head slightly to take a peek at the daimyo's expression, but in the end he still didn't dare to say the suggestion of buying Konoha Ninja.

Since Uchiha Tokumitsu became the governor of Konoha and the general of the country of fire, the appetite of Konoha's ninja clan has also increased, and they have crossed over the power of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo to contact the Konoha ninja. Maybe you will touch some indescribable slides again.

This can't help but remind Hattori Heiji to think of the fallen former third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

The amiable and respectful daimyo and the amiable Konoha ninjas under his command were completely eradicated in this way, and the daimyo also lost the grip to influence Konoha, which led to the current passive situation.

The high-ranking daimyo is naturally extremely aggrieved.

He has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy that controls hundreds of millions of people in the Land of Fire, and Konoha is just a ninja village under his rule. In the past, it was just a useful tool to use, but now this "tool" Turning against the customer and becoming the master, it made him, the self-proclaimed "master", very embarrassed.

And the reason why the daimyo was eager to extinguish the "coup d'état" led by sand hidden ninjas in the land of the wind was also because he was afraid that this trend of subjugation would spread.

"His Royal Highness..."

The servant outside the hall trotted all the way into the hall, knelt down and said: "The envoy who went to the land of the earth has returned..."

"Quickly call in!"

The daimyo straightened up immediately and ordered.

The sluggish spirit of the ministers and nobles also cheered up a little.

"Your Highness!"

The envoy entered the palace and reported: "The minister has fulfilled his mission and has successfully persuaded the Land of Land Daming and Yan Yinren Village that they have decided to send troops to the Land of Wind to bring order out of chaos!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The daimyo didn't care about the etiquette, and he kept applauding: "The daimyo of the Land of Earth is high-spirited, and Yanyin also understands righteousness!"

"With a big country participating in the war, I believe that the rebels in Sha Yin will be put down soon!"

The daimyo's eyes turned to Hattori Heiji.

For those incompetent samurai in the country, daimyo has long since abandoned treatment, and the reason why they are kept is only to control those mud legs. In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu does not allow daimyo to raise a large number of ninjas, otherwise the government army would have been abolished It's time to train the new ninja army.

"Probably so..."

Hattori Heiji felt bitter in his heart, but if he dared to disobey the meaning of the daimyo, he had no choice but to reconcile one or two against his will.

"...Have the earth spiders answered?"

The daimyo asked again.

The Earth Spider Clan is one of the few ninja clans that live in the Fire Country but are not included in Konoha, and they are also the target of the Fire Country's daimyo.

"...The patriarch of the earth spider has not responded yet."

Hattori Heiji, who was in charge of liaison, bit the bullet and replied: "However, some members of the Fuma clan are willing to join the Servant Shinobi."

"Where are the other Fengmo clansmen?"

The daimyo was very dissatisfied with this.

In his eyes, everyone living in the Land of Fire, no matter they are nobles, commoners, or ninjas, should be his subjects. It is a matter of course that they should obey his orders, so why would they dare to bargain with him!

But fortunately, Uchiha Tokumitsu's remaining prestige around the Temple of Fire is still there, allowing the angry Daimyo of the Fire Country to maintain some sanity.

"Some members of the Fengmo tribe have accepted the employment of the joint company, and they are not willing to terminate the contract for the time being..."

Hattori Heiji said softly.

To put it bluntly, some of the Fengmo people who felt that they had found a new backer were no longer willing to accept the orders of the family elders, and chose to start a new life with their new thighs.

"Then Heiji-sama is going to dispatch Konoha as an envoy!"

The daimyo's complexion was not very good, but he did not lose his temper, "Deguang will return to the village soon, you have to persuade him to send troops to the Land of Wind!"

"Obey!"

Although this is a bit of a dangerous chore, since the daimyo ordered it, Hattori Heiji could only accept it.

...

When Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to Konoha, he also received special information from a secret channel.

The Kazekage special envoy of Hidden Sand Village has secretly contacted the Western Frontier Defense Force, requesting a secret interview with Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"...It's also a good thing."

Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a while, and then agreed to the visit of the Kazekage Messenger.

The timing of the coup in the country of the wind came just right, and Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind playing a few more plays.

But from the beginning to the end, his focus was still on Water Country and Kirigakure.

Especially the old ancestor who has always been on his mind.

"...The age spots are not dead, my heart is always restless!"

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent someone to inform Hatake Sakumo to discuss political affairs with him in a teahouse in the Uchiha clan.

While waiting for Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Tokumitsu was full of his good ancestors who were old but not dead.

...

"Knock knock!"

Hatake Sakumo lightly knocked on the shoji door, then naturally pushed the door open and entered.

"Mr. Shuo Mao, long time no see~"

Uchiha Tokuro greeted with a smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, but I can't help it because of the busy government affairs..."

A bright smile appeared on Hatake Sakumo's face.

"Tea please!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't talk nonsense, so he invited Hatake Sakumo to take a seat.

After three cups of tea, Hatake Sakumo said, "Mr. Deguang intends to participate in the peaceful change of the Kingdom of Wind?"

"It's just that the Senate needs to balance things out."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "Tsunade Hime's proposal is too radical, but other ninja clans are also a bit slack."

"The damage caused by the war is already great, and the ninjas in the village don't have much fighting spirit..."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head helplessly: "Besides, the Land of Winds is really too poor..."

"That's the most important reason~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile: "There is no profit if you lose, and no profit if you win, so everyone has no motivation."

"The same goes for the House of Representatives."

Hatake Sakumo shrugged, agreeing with Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"The emissary of Sha Yin should arrive at the village tomorrow."

Uchiha Deguang said coldly: "How? See you together?"

"...The Sand Hermit Messenger?"

Hatake Sakumo's eyelids twitched, a little surprised.

"It was secretly contacted through the Western Border Defense Force. I haven't said anything about it yet."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.

"...It's okay to meet you."

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

It's just that he had other things on his mind.

The Western Frontier Defense Force used to be directly under the shogunate under the control of Mimura Hanomaki. After Mimura Hanomaki and Kime Kodao returned to the village to take charge of the mission center at the cost of giving up their military power, the Western Frontier Army also fell under the control of Uchiha Tokumitsu. middle.

Although Mimura Hamoki brought back some trusted ninjas when he returned to the village, the Western Ninja Army is still a unit directly under him for a long time, but now that there is such important information, no one in the Western Frontier Army has taken the initiative to send a message to inform the former boss. ...

I don't know if I should lament that people came too quickly, or feel that Uchiha Tokumitsu's control over the ninja army is too deep.

"That's fine, this matter should not be leaked for the time being."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words disrupted Hatake Sakumo's thoughts, "Why don't we wait for us to see how Sa Yin's attitude is before making the next step?"

"That's fine..."

Hatake Sakumo withdrew his mind and nodded in agreement.

Today’s Konoha no longer has the existence of monopolizing power like Hokage in the past. The Senate and House of Representatives have become a place for families and ninjas to wrangle. Hatake Sakumo feels that it is still necessary for him to participate in Uchiha De All kinds of things that Hikari is tossing about, otherwise, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who is in sole control of the military, doesn't know how big things he can do.

Moreover, it is clear that in the next few decades, as long as Uchiha Tokumitsu does not make any mistakes, it is impossible for other people to sit in the "temporarily vacant" Hokage position in the future.

Tsunade Hime can't, Orochimaru can't, even he Hatake Sakumo can't.

Although the system of the Senate and the House of Representatives is bloated and cumbersome, and the decision-making efficiency is relatively low, it has been widely accepted by various ninja clans and upper ninjas so far. There is only one core reason, that is, no one can use "righteousness" "In the name of telling others to die.

This alone has made the ninjas and upper ninjas completely give up the idea of ​​​​reviving Hokage in their hearts.

"Co-governing Konoha..."

Hatake Sakumo pondered.

"Co-governance leads to a republic, and a republic leads to common prosperity."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
