After slamming the door in the Hokage's office mercilessly, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about the consequences at this time, first went to the police department and asked his father Uchiha Zhongxuan to say hello, and by the way, he presented the three-color balls that were packed back in the Konoha shopping street, and exchanged ninjutsu experiences with the Uchiha team members of the police department, and then leisurely returned to the Uchiha clan land, and went to the mansion of the Elder of the Moment to say goodbye, and finally went home slowly to prepare dinner with his mother Emiko.

Everything behaved in an orderly and methodical manner.

But in the eyes of the other major ninjas who were closely following this matter, it was not quite the same.

Due to Konoha's unique political ecology, everything that happens in the Hokage Building, especially in the Hokage's office, is a major event in the eyes of Konoha senior ninjas, especially the major ninja clans.

Since the third generation took charge of Konoha, his consistent pursuit has been to strengthen the Hokage's centralized power on the basis of the second generation's control, which will inevitably exacerbate the contradictions between the village and the ninja clan.

It's just that in the past, in the face of the Hokage clan that occupied the righteousness, except for the strongest and most powerful Uchiha clan, the other ninja clans did not have much means to deal with it, and they were in a state of eroded family governance system for a long time.

Including the reason why Akimichi Torifu, who is also a member of the second-generation Hokage Guard, will return to seclusion in the youth, the ninjas also know it; Although the external caliber of the three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies is that Lord Zhufeng's early injuries recurred, and it was unsustainable that he had to choose to retire to recuperate, but anyone who has seen the appearance of eating 30 catties of barbecue on the day of the autumn road will not choose to believe the nonsense of the three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies that are not to be concealed.

However, the "anger" shown by Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had made great contributions in the reinforcement war in the country of Vortex, when he left the Hokage Building this time, made the ninjas tense their nerves.

In particular, the fact that Mito, who was the most noble in Konoha and the first generation of the village to leave, was the first to leave the Hokage's office is even more worrying.

Even if everyone's hearts don't like the three generations of apes who are the leaders of Konoha to fly to the sun, it doesn't mean that they are willing to see the divisions and contradictions in Konoha that are difficult to heal.

After all, the Senju clan and the remnants of the whirlpool represented by Uzumaki Mito, as well as the Uchiha clan behind Uchiha Tokumitsu, are not only the joint founding family of the village, but also an indispensable top-level combat force.

Especially at this time, it is an eventful time, the situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly tense, maybe one day I wake up to find that the major powers have declared war on each other, and it is not surprising that the second ninja war has broken out in full swing, and none of the senior ninjas and ninjas in Konoha want to see the relationship between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha clan break down further.

Therefore, at night, the various ninja clans and the upper ninjas who were concerned about this matter either sent people or visited in person, and contacted acquaintances in the Uchiha clan to understand the ins and outs of this matter.

But the Uchiha ninjas, who had already been entrusted, were unexpectedly strict this time, and they didn't have the swaggering appearance they used to have, but it was revealed that the Hokage's assistant Danzo made some unrealistic accusations, which made Uchiha Tokumitsu very unhappy.

There is not much news from the Uchiha clan, and the Thousand Hands clan has no reason to come to the door, and the whirlpool remnants have no acquaintances...... The Konoha ninjas, who were concerned about this matter, spent a long night in constant speculation.

But there is no doubt that everyone's spearhead is unanimously pointed at Shimura Danzo, and they all agree that Shimura Danzo has done such a dirty and disgusting thing.

The next day, when the gossip was flying all over the village, and the rumors were about to ferment to the Uchiha clan as they prepared to attack the Shimura clan land, the Uzumaki patriarch Uzumaki Reina led his troops to visit the Uchiha clan land, and his arrival broke the deadlock.

"Patriarch Reed, welcome to your visit."

The place where the name of the whirlpool is received is the residence of the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Quartet, although the space in the suite of the Uchiha Tokumitsu family is not small, but it is not magnanimous, as a reception is somewhat of a fly in the ointment, and for the arrival of the whirlpool, the head of the four directions showed full respect.

"The Quartet Patriarch is polite, and the Vortex Clan has been able to get out of danger thanks to the help of Deguangjun." Uzumaki Reeds showed great gratitude, "The grace of saving lives cannot be overreciprocated." ”

"Also, thank you to the Great Elder of the Moment." Then Uzumaki Reed turned to Elder Instanta and saluted, "The Deguang Jun taught by the Great Elder can be called a masterpiece of a generation in strength and means, congratulations to the Great Elder." ”

"Patriarch Reed is polite, Deguangjun's achievements are due to his extraordinary talent, and I, an old man, have only done some trivial work." Although the Elder Akina, who came from the Warring States Period, did not like the former sworn enemies of the Uzumaki clan, he did not lose any points in etiquette.

The ninja family has its own rules, and ...... This time, the Vortex Clan gave too much.

"The war in the country of vortex is not my work in a day." On this very formal occasion, Uchiha Tokumitsu also said with a straight face: "The hard work of Sakumo-kun and all the members of the mobile force is the hero who won this battle. ”

Everyone also nodded yes, the Uchiha clan disdained to encroach on the exploits of their partners, and naturally agreed with Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, and Uzumaki Reina praised Uchiha Tokumitsu again and again regardless of the difference in status.

After some pleasantries, the talks began to cut to the chase.

"I'm here this time." Uzumaki Reina got straight to the point, and then glanced at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Uchiha Tokumitsu bowed slightly.

"In order to thank Tokumitsu-kun for his help in the war of the Vortex Nation, our clan has decided to present the Uchiha clan with the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique as a token of gratitude."

Taking a breath secretly, Uzumaki Reed, who calmed down, officially stated the reward conditions promised in the early stage.

Although it is a condition that has been agreed to a long time ago, although the Uchiha Tokumitsu does have a great favor for the whirlpool, although the Uchiha clan may not be able to fully understand the meaning of the whirlpool sealing technique...... Although there are many reasons, it is still very uncomfortable to hand over the mystery of the sealing technique that is the foundation of the family's life.

Uzumaki Reed's heart was a little sour, but it didn't show it at all on the surface.

Although the Uchiha people also knew it in their hearts, such a big gift was put in front of them like this, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts beat faster and their breathing shorter.

The power and use of the Vortex Secret Seal Technique, as a former opponent, the Uchiha clan naturally knew very well.

Especially the Elder Moment.

"Patriarch ...... Reed" knelt on the futon, and the expressionless Elder exhaled deeply when he heard this, "The sealing technique is the foundation of the Vortex Clan, and I am really ashamed to be a ......."

The Uchiha present suddenly became nervous, for fear that the Great Elder would be thick-skinned for a lifetime, but they were embarrassed to humbly excuse themselves at this time.

“…… But for the Uchiha, the sealing technique is indeed extremely important, so it is shameful to accept it here. With that, Elder Moment, who only bowed his head to the Uchiha Madara, bowed deeply and saluted.

Uzumaki Reeda hurriedly avoided it.

"In addition, after receiving the report of the Uchiha Secret Guard, nine Uzumaki people were rescued in the territory of the Vortex Country, all of whom were underage children, and there were many injuries on their bodies, but due to limited conditions, they had to be temporarily bandaged, but the problem was not big...... Moreover, all the remains found along the way were also collected to avoid exposing the corpses to the wild, and when they returned, they also asked the Patriarch of Reeda to take them back for treatment......"

In an instant, the elder spoke slowly again.

Hearing this, Uzumaki Reed's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

He didn't speak, and immediately bowed down towards the Uchiha people, and the Uzumaki people behind him also bowed heavily.

The Uchiha hurriedly avoided it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the whirlpool people who were bowing down.

Although they said kind things like why be polite when allies are undecided, the hearts of the arrogant Uchiha are still cheering and encouraging, and their favorability towards the Uzumaki clan has also skyrocketed.

Since the second generation ruled Konoha, the Uchiha clan has been subjected to various overt and covert exclusions from the village's high-level and the intentional or unintentional alienation of the ninja clans, except for a few vassal ninja clans, although the Uchiha clan's interpersonal relationship in the village is not as bad as after the Nine-Tails tribulation in later generations, but it is not good.

Although the strength of the Uzumaki clan is not as good as that of the Uchiha clan, and now it has suffered a catastrophe and it has plummeted, but the reputation of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha and even the ninja world is better than that of the Uchiha clan, I don't know how many times; Now the visit of the Uzumaki Patriarch and the manner during the banquet also mean that the Uchiha clan has indeed received the friendship of the Uzumaki clan.

Survival and extinction, for the ninja clan, is indeed a great favor to repay the clan.

"Tokumitsu-kun ......"

Everyone sat down again, and Uzumaki Reeda gestured solemnly to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Thank you again for your help......"

"The head of the reed clan is serious, and it is the same lineage of the ninja clan that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is a matter of course to give a helping hand." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied in agreement with a solemn expression.

Between the words, Uchiha Tokumitsu intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the word "ninja", believing that after the bloody baptism of the Vortex Country War and the unreasonable accusations of the Hokage's office yesterday, Uzumaki Reina will understand the true meaning of "ninja lineage".

The name of the whirlpool reed is also full of emotion.

The thousand-year-old hardcore allies are now in short supply, and once the current pillar Uzumaki Mito unfortunately dies, the Thousand Hands Clan and the Uzumaki Remnant will be equivalent to losing the greatest support.

What will happen to the ninja who have lost their power? Even if you think about it on your toes, there are countless standard answers that can be found in the historical records of the Warring States period, which has been turbulent for thousands of years.

Moreover, Uzumaki is different from Thousand Hands, as the god of ninjas and the founder of the system of one village and one country, even if the Thousand Hands clan loses their youthful strength, they can still enjoy peace and wealth in the respect of all people; In fact, as early as the second generation of the Thousand Hands in charge of Konoha , the Thousand Hands began to dismiss the clan in batches in a planned way and took the initiative to integrate into the village.

But the Uzumaki clan is different, and now the Konoha allies, who are no longer brilliant, have become one of the Konoha ninja clans under the fence, and although their status is not plummeting, they definitely do not have the weight of when the Vortex Country was still alive.

Especially during the meeting in the Hokage's office yesterday, the Hokage's covetousness for the Uzumaki bloodline shown by Shimura Danzou made Uzumaki even more chilling.

Therefore, it is based on this psychology that Uzumaki Reed's name did not hesitate to fold and hand over, and took the initiative to show favor to Uchiha Tokumitsu and the Uchiha clan behind him, and now it seems that the promise to present the Uzumaki Secret Sealing Technique This heavy gift has indeed moved the Uchiha clan.

"Besides, Tokumitsu-kun......" Uzumaki Reina took out a beautifully styled envelope from his bosom and handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu with both hands, "This is the letter that Mito-sama told me to pass on to you......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also stood up solemnly and took it with both hands.

On the exquisite envelope, the bronzing family emblem of the Thousand Hands family is inscribed.

However, the envelope was not sealed, but simply folded.

"This kind of unsealed letter means that it can be read in public or in person...... "One of the Uchiha elders also didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly whispered to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

In fact, he also wanted to know what the content of the letter was.

The ninja wealthy families that have followed for thousands of years always have some tacit communication etiquette with each other, from the alliance of the ninja clan to the letter etiquette like this, all of which contain deep meanings.

As the widow of the original Hokage and the Nine-Tails pillar force, Uzumaki Mito's every move naturally tugs at everyone's heartstrings.

Uchiha Tokumitsu used his gaze to consult the opinions of Elder Akino and Uzumaki Reina, and only after receiving a nod of promise from the two of them did he slowly open the envelope.

The breathing of everyone in the audience suddenly became a little heavier.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took out the letter and read it silently.

Everyone didn't squint and continued to talk.

It's just that all the thoughts have flown to the letter, but everyone is embarrassed to peep at their own identities.

"It's a thank you letter from Mito-sama." After a long time, Uchiha Tokumitsu read the letter, slowly looked up and said, "Mito-sama is really polite, and I also ask the Ashina patriarch to say hello to her old man on my behalf." ”

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became lively.

Uchiha Tokumitsu handed the letter to Elder Sakina.

After reading it hastily, the Elder passed it to the Patriarch of the Quartet with a smile on his face.

After the Uchiha Quartet finished reading it, he also handed the letter to the sender Uzumaki Reeda.

In this way, the letters were passed from person to person in the banquet, and all those who read them were smiling and kind, as if the letters were engraved with illusions that transcended other gods, and the ice in the hearts of the most diehard Uchiha people was knocked open at once.

"Mito-sama, as an elder of Konoha, is really polite." After the letter was circulated and returned to Uchiha Tokumitsu's hands, the Uchiha Quartet Patriarch said slowly.

Although he has a deep-rooted opinion on the Thousand Hands Clan, it is more for the second generation of the Thousand Hands Clan, and in front of the sealing mysteries sent by the Uzumaki Clan and the handwritten letter from the Uzumaki Mito, the Elder still nodded yes.

The Uchiha Quartet saw the movement of the elder's jaw in an instant, as if he was encouraged: "Since Mito-sama's letter has been received, then I don't think Tokumitsu-kun needs to let the Ashina patriarch say hello on his behalf, so let's see when it's convenient to visit the lower elder in the upper house." ”

"Patriarch Reed, what do you think?" The Uchiha looked at the Uzumaki Reeda with anticipation.

The Uchiha clan's movements and reactions were also really fast, which caught Uzumaki Reina a off guard.

"That's great, of course, how about I get an invitation when I get back?"

"That's not necessary, Deguang-kun, you can write a prayer post." After thinking about it for a moment, the elder decided to improve the external etiquette of the Uchiha clan as a sign of respect.

In the end, in a cordial and harmonious conversation, the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan reached a series of cooperation agreements on sealing training and the transfer of Upanishah materials, and the Uchiha Quartet also patted their chests and promised to increase the police force of the police department to effectively maintain the peace and security of the Uzumaki clan.

After sending Uzumaki away from Uzumaki, Uchiha Quartet and Elder Akina looked at each other and laughed.

"Icebreaker?"

"Break the ice!"

The Uchiha nodded their heads.
