The war against Iwakuin can't continue.

At least the initiative is not going to work.

The edict of the Hokage Building to stop the war was transmitted through the psychic beast, and the news was first transmitted to the front line of the Konoha Dispatch Army stationed in the Land of Rain, and the Hokage Jiraiya rushed to the camp of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in the country of grass, asking the edict to recall the Uchiha Tokumitsu and his subordinates who were preparing for a cross-border attack in the northern border of the country of grass.

The Uchiha Fire Gate was also very helpless, and in the face of the Hokage's edict with an orthodox aura and the identity of the Hokage's disciple, Jiraiya had no way to deal with the dark department, so he had to pinch his nose and send a messenger to take Jiraiya to the northern front line where the Uchiha Tokumitsu was located.

……

“…… Withdrawal? Are you sure this isn't Tsuchikage's edict? ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows, and glared at the young version of Jiraiya with some dissatisfaction with the three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes.

At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu was located on a hill about ten kilometers away from the Iwakushi Camp in the territory of the earth country, and he had just set up a front-line command here, and he received such an edict, and the fire in his heart was naturally indispensable, and when the fire was big, he was naturally not polite to speak.

The southern front of Iwakure could not hold out, and the large army of the ninja army could not launch a large-scale offensive across the border without officially declaring war, and he led the elite upper ninjas to call for provocation for days without achieving results, but was tossed by Iwakure's combination of Tu Dun, at this time, he did not make up a declaration of war edict in order to organize the army to defeat Iwakure in one fell swoop, but issued an urgent order to call the front-line ninja army to retreat, could it be that the Hokage's real identity is actually Tukage?

"Deguang Xiao...... Conductor Deguang. "I was also quite uncomfortable being stared at by the three hooks, "This is the edict of Lord Hokage, there is no doubt that this order was directly transmitted to the border troops by the Hokage Building through the psychic beast, and the authenticity is beyond doubt." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the border troops still have psychic beasts that can directly receive orders from the Hokage Building." Uchiha Tokumitsu stabbed lightly, "I thought that the communication between the village and the various ministries was the same as that of our Northwest Frontier Defense Force, relying on the wings of the ninja eagle and the legs of the herald dark department. ”

“…… Every border force is available, and if there is a shortage of such personnel in your department, you can directly apply to Hokage-sama for additional personnel. Zilai was also choked, and his big face turned red.

"Forget it, I don't want to receive some garbage orders at any time, such as asking someone in the frontline position to go forward fifty meters." Uchiha Tokumitsu made no secret of his dissatisfaction, anyway, the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the Hokage family was well known, and as the heir of the Uchiha radical faction, there was no need for him to be too polite with the Hokage.

"Commander Tokumitsu, Hokage-sama is the leader of Konoha, please correct your attitude and maintain the necessary respect." Uchiha Tokumitsu's attitude made Jiraiya quite dissatisfied.

"Then may I ask Jiraiya Shangnin, do you think this edict is correct?" Not only Uchiha Tokumitsu, but the surrounding Uchiha ninjas also stared at Jiraiya with unkind faces, and among the foreign ninjas, the Uchiha pro-ninja was also quite dissatisfied, the Hyuga ninja was expressionless, the civilian ninja bowed his head and was silent, and the Pig Deer Butterfly ninja had a panicked face.

"Tokumitsu commands, Hokage-sama has his own intelligence sources to judge the direction of the situation, and we ninjas, as part of Konoha, just need to follow the command." Jiraiya took a deep breath and calmed down, "You're still young, you can't control the war between the great powers, or follow Hokage-sama's ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Jiraiya with lightning speed.

The incident happened suddenly, and he only had time to retreat back to avoid the edge of the sword, but the upper ninja vest on his body was still cut by the blade.

Zilai can also avoid the disaster of breaking the abdomen.

"You...... Do you know what it is to attack your fellow villagers? Jiraiya was shocked and angry, "Do you want to disobey the edict of the village!" ”

There was also a commotion among the surrounding ninjas, but there was still no one to dissuade Uchiha Tokumitsu, but instead the ninjas of the Uchiha clan staggered their swords with their left thumbs, ready to draw their swords and slash.

"Good words are told to you, and the white blade is not forgiving." Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile. "Self-help and forbearance, you say...... Can I hold it. ”

Jilai also gasped, that's it? Just because of this, he drew a sword at the ninja in the same village?

At the age of eight, he awakened the three hook jade writing wheel eyes, although the face is handsome and slender, but under the rendering of the power of the writing wheel eyes, although Uchiha Tokumitsu is smiling, but the chilling killing intent is so strong that the same shinobi and experienced Jiraiya is also shocked.

"Conductor Deguang...... Are you sure you want to disobey Hokage-sama's edict? Jiraiya's face gradually became serious, and he bowed his head slightly and no longer looked directly into the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Those who disobey the Hokage's edict will be regarded as treason according to the rules." ”

There was another commotion around Shangnin, but still no one came out to dissuade them.

This also made Jiraiya quite shocked, but he didn't expect the young Uchiha Tokumitsu to have such a strong grasp of the ninja army.

"Tsk......" Uchiha Tokumitsu scoffed, "Sure enough, capping the hat is the Hokage's specialty." ”

"Since the Hokage's edict to stop the war has been sent urgently, then I naturally have no choice but to follow the order." Uchiha Tokumitsu put away his sword and returned it to its sheath, "It's just that I want to remind Jiraiya to shinobi ......"

"We, as the Supreme Shinobi, have the right to refute objections to the Hokage's orders; At the same time, he is in the position of military affairs, and has full independent command power in order to take into account the war situation and the interests of his subordinates; As the saying goes, there will be no acceptance in the outer shadow order.,I don't think this self-come upper ninja shouldn't be unaware.。 ”

Zilai was also stunned, and nodded his head in approval.

The rights and interests of the upper ninja have always been a controversial topic in the ninja village.

From the point of view of the rank of the ninja, the upper ninja is the highest order, and it is natural that he is a member of the decision-making level of the village, and the major decisions of the ninja village must be deliberated and voted on by the upper ninja meeting and the ninja meeting before they can be implemented, which is to unify the will of the ninja village to the greatest extent.

And the upper ninja is different from the middle ninja, the lower ninja needs to pass the middle ninja exam to be promoted to the middle ninja, but the requirements for promotion to the upper ninja are a lot more, not only in terms of strength, but also have to have the recommendation of more than three upper ninja and the consent of the Hokage, but also have a certain overall view and command ability. Therefore, before the war, in order to control power, in order to balance the power of the ninja clan and civilian ninjas, the Hokage deliberately tightened the number of ninja ratings, and the evaluation also tended to civilian ninjas from ninja schools, and controlled the number of ninja at about three hundred, among which a large number of strong family ninjas failed to obtain the title of ninja.

However, since the start of the war, due to the insufficient number of newly promoted civilian ninjas, especially the upper ninja, the upper ninja rating has to be opened, and the strong among the large number of ninja ninjas are included in the upper ninja to supplement the source of troops, and Uchiha Tokumitsu is directly rated as a special upper ninja because of this, and then relied on the military exploits of presiding over the underground forces in the country of grass to be promoted to the upper ninja.

For the rights and interests of the ninja, there is often a big difference between the attitude of the ninja and the civilian ninja, the ninja attaches great importance to it, while the civilian ninja does not care much, and this difference in attitude is also related to the number of interests involved.

But in any case, in the face of the highest-level urgent edict from the Hokage, even if it is a high-ranking ninja commander, he has to act according to the order, and even if there is an objection, he can only raise an objection at the time to impeach the Hokage at the upper ninja meeting.

The actions of the upper ninjas were extremely swift, and the front-line command in the land of the earth did not have much arrangement, after putting away some important documents and personal belongings with sealing scrolls, a few fireballs burned the tent and other miscellaneous items into ashes, and the front command led by Uchiha Tokumitsu to go deep into the territory of the earth country came to an end.

On the way to retreat, the Uchiha Deguang had a look of hesitation, and he accompanied the ninjas, whether they were from the Uchiha clan or ordinary civilian ninjas, they were all in a hurry, and when they saw that no one cared about them, they had to retreat with their stuffy heads.

……

"Lord Tokumitsu!"

The figure running back from the direction of the land country was naturally discovered by the border troops who stayed in the northern mountain castle, and after the observation of the Hyuga white-eyed ninja found that it was the command of the headquarters, a large group of ninja troops hurriedly rushed over to meet in full armor.

"Hmmm! It's me! ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu took out a seal from his bosom and threw it to the head of the upper ninja Uchiha Takanobu, "Send the order back and gather the upper ninja of the headquarters." ”

"Yes!" The Uchiha Takanobu took the seal, drafted the document on the spot, used the seal, and handed it to the herald ninja, who then returned the seal to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Lord Tokumitsu...... This is ......," Uchiha Tashin asked, slightly apprehensive.

Since Jilai also went straight to the front line through the garrison camp of the country of grass, the ninja army left behind in Yamashiro has not yet known the news of the withdrawal.

"The Hokage has asked for the withdrawal of the troops." Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.

"This ......" Uchiha Takanshin was a little surprised, "the headquarters is already ready, why do you want to withdraw the army?" ”

"Hokage-sama has his own plans, and as a member of Konoha, we can just follow Hokage-sama's edict!" Jiraiya next to him said with a frown.

The Uchiha ninjas, especially the subordinates under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu, showed a belligerent stance and disregard for the Hokage, which made him particularly unhappy in his heart.

"Lord Tokumitsu...... We've found out the information of the Iwakushi Ninja Army! Uchiha Shōshin ignored Jiraiya's words and anxiously argued with Uchiha Tokumitsu, "What a pity that the fruit is in front of it and abandoned!" ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed, "It's come to this, there's no need to say it. ”

The ninjas of the border brigade looked at each other.

"Who knows if this kind of order was issued by the Hokage or the Tsuchikage!" Uchiha Tokumitsu left a sentence and got up and ran in the direction of Yamashiro.

Jiraiya was so angry that his face was red and white for a while, but he had no choice but to continue to follow behind Uchiha Tokumitsu with a cheeky face, after all, Uchiha Tokumitsu, as the deputy commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, had not signed the official ninja retreat order, and he had no way to deal with it.

In the castle tower of the mountain castle, the shinobi rushed back from all over the border after receiving the summoning order, and they were talking to each other.

The commander who was originally commanding the front-line squad in the territory of the land to break the attack suddenly summoned the shinobi, and they were confused for a while.

After Uchiha Tokumitsu led the crowd back, the ninja who had been talking to each other stood up one after another and saluted.

"Today, I received the Hokage's edict, and from now on, the headquarters will no longer attack Iwakure." Uchiha Tokumitsu sat down in the main seat, and did not say hello, and directly announced the order, "Except for the first detachment on the border, the Uchiha detachment and the grass ninja alliance will withdraw on the same day!" ”

"Ahh

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

In particular, the grass ninja who was at the bottom of the table was even more panicked, "Lord Tokumitsu, you can't abandon the country of grass." ”

"This is the Hokage's edict, and I can't help it." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied nonchalantly, "We will not abandon our allies, but we will no longer take the initiative to attack Iwakure according to the edict." ”

"This ......" Grass Shinobi was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, but it was not because of the Hokage's edict, but once the army was withdrawn, neither the war merits nor the bounty were so easy to obtain, and he finally got this position through an exchange of interests within the Grass Ninja Village, and it would be a big loss to withdraw the army before he had enough money.

"Needless to say!" Uchiha Tokumitsu shouted angrily.

The originally noisy conference hall was silent, and the ninjas were silent.

Such a majesty made the cold-eyed Zilai secretly frightened.

He didn't expect that a Uchiha boy who was less than ten years old would have such prestige, and dozens of shinobi under the order were all bowed down to obey the order.

Originally, he thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu was just strong, but he didn't expect that his prestige and prestige in the ninja army were so high.

"North-Western Frontier Defense Force...... It's already in the Uchiha's bag......" Jiraiya sighed in his heart.

As a Hokage, he naturally enjoys a lot of special treatment, but he has been promoted many times so far, and he is only one of the commanders of the Rain Country's dispatch army, and in terms of prestige, it is really not as powerful as Uchiha Tokumitsu's defense force on the northwest border.

And this is also the difference between ninja ninjas and civilian ninjas, ninja ninjas have their own parts, and the big ninjas can form an army on their own, whether it is command or the difficulty of obtaining combat merits, they overshadow civilian ninjas; Especially the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, more than half of the ninjas are the Uchiha clan and their pro-ninja ninjas, although the Uchiha Tokumitsu is young, but he has his own aura of the big clan and his strength is outstanding, and he has awakened the three hooks, almost the Uchiha family, especially the radical faction, is the leader of the expectations, whether it is the pre-war arrangement, the battle charge, the post-war pension, etc., are remarkable, under the superposition of multiple buffs, the control of the ninja army is naturally far greater than that of other border commanders.

“…… The edict has been issued, and there is no doubt about it. Uchiha Tokumitsu raised the edict issued by the Hokage to stop fighting, "The highest level of urgent edict, even if we use the power of Shinobi to disagree, we can't immediately refute it, so let's execute it in turn." ”

"Yes......" The ninjas reluctantly bowed their heads and obeyed.
