Chapter 22: The Smoke Grows

The turmoil of the Ministry of Police's forced detention of the root personnel, under the tacit agreement between the Hokage and the Uchiha clan, the news did not spread too obviously, but what the cause and result of the whole incident was, the ninjas and senior ninjas should know basically, after all, who doesn't have an intelligence source.

Similarly, as the perpetrator of the 'Police Department Forced Custody Root Incident', the name of Uchiha Tokumitsu began to circulate in the upper echelons of Konoha, young, powerful, indifferent and arrogant, this is almost a standard Uchiha genius template, in the eyes of the veteran ninja clan, it is normal for the Uchiha clan to appear such a young hero, after all, the qualifications of the Uchiha clan have been verified during the Warring States period that has been fighting for thousands of years. Therefore, when the contemporary Uchiha clan has such a character again, although the civilian ninjas or the descendants of the ninja clan will be surprised that they have such a strong strength at such a young age, the ninja elders will say that they are not surprised.

Although he has been slandered as a 'cursed people', the Uchiha is the best example for ninjas who seek great strength and free will.

Although the incident of the Uchiha Police Department's forced custody of the root was unpleasant to the Hokage clan and the ninja faction close to the Hokage, it was also a good thing for the ninja who were committed to maintaining their family identity and independence, and it was a good thing that the powerful Uchiha came out and slapped Danzo and the three generations behind it in the face.

For the sake of its roots, Tuanzang did not do less than plundering the children of the declining ninja or ninja orphans to enter the roots and make them become tool men, which also made the ninjas very vigilant, but even if the lawsuit was brought to the Hokage, in the end, it was with tendencies and mud, and it was sent away with a sentence of 'Everywhere is to contribute to Konoha', and over the years, the resentment of the ninja clan is not small.

The Uchiha showed the posture of the clan, and the Hokage also felt the toughness of the Uchiha, so both sides took a step back, and the root personnel were taken away by the Shadow Department with the Hokage's warrant after being held for three days, and the Police Department did not make it difficult.

And the biggest beneficiary, Uchiha Tokumitsu, gained the hearts and minds of the Uchiha radicals, and his reputation began to spread in the upper echelons of Konoha.

The disadvantage is that the name Uchiha Tokumitsu is also on the list of bounties on the black market exchange house, with a bounty of 7 million taels.

The heat of the incident did not last long, firstly because the spread was relatively confined to the upper echelons of the village, and secondly, because the conflict with the Rain Ninja Village became more intense.

After receiving the two hundred ninja troops transferred from the direction of the Land of Wind, Mimura Hamakaki Shinobi, who was stationed on the border of the Land of Rain, took the initiative to attack the rain ninja who had been frequently tested recently, and annihilated all the outpost reconnaissance troops of the country of rain in one fell swoop, and at the same time aroused the confrontation of the country of rain. Led by Mimura Hamaki, the Konoha ninja army drove straight into the three towns on the border of the Land of Rain, plundering a large number of supplies they had hoarded. The pillar of this rainy country, Sanshoyu Hanzo, can't sit still.

According to Genbe information, Hanzo is making every effort to raise supplies, and it is expected to mobilize half of the ninjas in the rain ninja village to form a ninja army of about 1,500 people, and Hanzo himself will lead the counterattack against Konoha under Hanzo's own command.

With only the scale of 600 people stationed in the Shinobi Military Region of the Land of Rain, Konoha would not be able to withstand the next counterattack of the Land of Rain.

Therefore, the mobilization of the village's ninja army is imminent.

In the Hokage's office, Konoha F4 implements the Konoha tradition of 'small things have a meeting, and big things have a small meeting', and discusses military and political affairs behind closed doors.

"How's the ninja organization doing?"

The three generations were smoking pipes as always, and while reading the information, they asked the advisor to go to bed Koharu.

"A thousand elite troops composed of ninja ninjas have been organized, but the civilian ninja forces have only gathered 1,200 people......"

"Why?"

"The ninja ninjas are basically the garrison forces of each family, relatively concentrated and relatively disciplined; Most of the civilian ninjas are out on missions, and some of the people on the mobilization roster cannot be contacted for the time being, and some have not yet rushed back to ......"

"How's the material raising?"

The third generation asked Mito Menyan again.

"All the equipment and materials such as forbearance equipment and military rations are ready, but the number of detonation charms purchased is insufficient, and it needs to be allocated from the village's combat readiness reserves, but in this way, the village's combat readiness reserves are ......."

"Why?"

"Recently, the price of all kinds of materials has risen too fast...... Mito Menyan sighed.

The Hokage F4 sighed in unison.

"The only thing that hasn't seen a significant increase in price is the Uchiha's Detonator Charm, but the supply has been drastically reduced." Mito continued.

The detonation charm is the product of the combination of fire escape and sealing technique, among the Konoha ninja clan, although proficient in fire escape is the Uchiha and Sarufei, among which the detonation charm produced by the Uchiha clan is famous for its large quantity and high quality.

"Or ...... Danzo, you went to the capital to talk to the daimyo about the period of military spending? ”

The third generation thought of a bad idea, planning to let the group hide to persecute the daimyo and pay some military funds to come back.

Tuan Zang nodded silently.

Since being slapped in the face by the Uchiha, Danzo, who felt disgraced, has become even more reticent.

"The ninja army, which is mainly to support Mimurakami Shinobi, when can it be set off?" Miyome continued to ask.

"According to the current personnel and material situation, the ninja troops can leave at any time, but the civilian ninja troops will need about a week or ......so."

"Then let the three of Orochimaru lead the ninja troops to set off first, the military situation is urgent without further ado." The three generations of the project were decided.

"Tuan Zang, you also go to the capital to meet the daimyo quickly, and rush back quickly after the matter is over, and the follow-up civilian ninja army will be led by you to the rain country."

The three generations continued to point to the generals and gave the old friend the sweetness of commanding the ninja army.

"Hello!"

Tuan Zang still cherishes words like gold.

"In addition, gather the second and third echelon ninja armies."

Miyome took a puff of his pipe, "The movement of the Wind Country is not normal, according to the report of the dark intelligence, the movement of the ninja army in its territory can no longer grasp the dynamics. ”

The advisor to the "Land of the Wind" ...... was silent.

After all, the Land of the Wind is one of the five great powers, and it is indeed not to be underestimated.

"The Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder should also pay attention, although the two countries are still facing each other, there are also no small moves on the border of fire."

"That'...... How many ninja armies in the second and third echelons should be gathered? Turning to bed, Xiao Chunchi asked.

"Let's go according to the scale of 3,000 people!"

"In this case, the standing strength of the village will be empty......

"The ninja school can graduate a batch of shinobi early to enrich the basic strength." Tuan Zang on the side said.

Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, "It's not like this, the children of the ninja school are the future of the village, and they can't be moved lightly." ”

At the end, he added, "At least not yet, there is no need to use the students of the ninja school." ”

"What about the ninja?" Turning to bed Xiaochun means something.

Miyome pondered for a moment.

"Full mobilization." After speaking, he took another puff of his pipe, "Ninja ninjas who are not registered, the level assessment can be appropriately relaxed, the scale of the war may be large, and the village urgently needs to have a living force to join." ”

"What about the Uchiha?" Zhuan Xiaochun then asked again.

"Equal treatment." The three generations have deep eyes, "Try to draw four hundred family ninjas from the Uchiha clan." ”

"Then this cost ......" Mito Menyan felt a little tricky.

The family ninja who is not registered is the foundation of each ninja clan, and each clan must be holding it in their hands and refusing to relax, and to recruit it into the ninja under the command of Konoha requires not only the preparation of the register, but also a large amount of money and materials to exchange.

"So it's up to you, Tuan Zang." Sandaime turned to Danzo, "The military support of the daimyo is crucial, and it is important to reach an agreement with the daimyo on this trip to Kyoto." ”

Tuan Zang still nodded silently.

……

On the side of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tokumitsu still followed the previous rhythm, leading the family ninja army to conduct various tactical drills to strengthen the combat strength as much as possible.

In addition to the ninja army of the radical faction under his command, the patriarch line, the conservative faction, and the police department system all set up a ninja army to form a centralized drill and training.

The four ninja armies of the Uchiha family, totaling about three hundred elite ninjas, were organized in this way.

Several small and medium-sized ninja clans close to the Uchiha also followed suit and began to concentrate their family forces, but their strength was relatively weak, and the scale of the ninja army they formed was relatively small.

Seeing this, other ninjas also recalled the ninjas who went out one after another, and actively fought against them.

For a while, the Konoha ninja clan seemed to have doubled the number of ninjas on the surface overnight. The ninja armies of various families gathered in groups, the ninjas moved and flashed high and high, the roofs of the residents of Konoha were also repaired every three days and five days for a major repair, and the usually vacant training ground was also crowded.

Konoha high-level leaders are also happy and worried when they see this, the joy is that Konoha's war potential is indeed strong, even if the scale of the war expands, it can cope with it, and the worry is that each family gathers the ninja army, and the ninja army linked by blood relationship can fight and make trouble, which is relatively unfavorable to the command of the Konoha commander.

Especially some necessary death-bound situations, I'm afraid that these gathered ninja ninja armies won't be able to trap them.

"It would be nice if all the Konoha clans were as selfless as the Thousand Hands Clan."

In the office, the three generations of apes who reviewed the documents that gathered the ninja army were slashed at the sky and sighed.

It's a pity that the once glorious Thousand Hands Clan suffered heavy losses in the First Ninja World War, and at present, only a small number of clansmen from Tsunade and his direct system rate remain, most of the ordinary Thousand Hands Clan have returned to seclusion during the second generation period, integrated into the Konoha families, and their whereabouts are difficult to trace.

Nowadays, the mainstream of the Konoha ninja clan is the old giants such as Uchiha and Hinata who are strong and abide by tradition, and there is no one to fool.

Taking the opportunity of the war to weaken the strength of the ninja and suppress the status of the ninja tribe, it was stillborn before it could be implemented. The top leaders of Konoha had to pinch their noses and convene the ninja people to discuss the recruitment of the family ninja.

……

It was at the Ninja Conference that Uchiha Tokumitsu first met the granddaughter of the Ninja God and Konoha Hokage Senju Pillar, the famous and broad-minded Tsunade of later generations.
