Like a demonstration that had been communicated beforehand, the battle cries of the Uchiha camp and the Hagi Sakumo camp echoed in the Chinese army's tent.

The manic and loud voice passed through the tent and reached the ears of the ninja army who were on guard outside.

Subsequently, bursts of loud echoes and shouts spontaneously set off from all over the camp echoed endlessly in the camp.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was intoxicated by the frenzy.

Mito Menyan lowered his head, his eyes avoiding the gaze of the people in the tent.

After the frenzied battle cries in the camp gradually subsided, the Uchiha Fire Gate picked up the battle report again.

The rest of the content is boring and boring about the specific killings and battle losses of each department, and the ninjas in charge of each detachment have already grasped specific information through exchanges with each other, so they don't pay much attention to it.

The Uchiha Homon's recitation was also dry and emotionless, and Mito Menyan raised his head slightly and began to observe the expressions of the shinobi of everyone present.

"Mito advisor, is there anything else you would like to add?"

The Uchiha finished reading the battle report and asked Mito Menyan, who was watching the crowd intently.

“…… Nothing else. Mito Menyan was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "The fruits of the battle won by the princes are far more fruitful than the camps stationed in the village, and the specific rewards will be distributed at the discretion of the Hokage-sama." ”

"That's fine." The Uchiha Kazumon nodded, pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of papers on the table, and handed it to Mito Katsumi.

"Mito Gate advisor, this is the Ministry of Headquarters' plan to make rewards and promotion arrangements for the heroes of this battle, please transfer it to Hokage-sama for official use of the edict."

When Mito Menyan heard this, his face suddenly turned red.

He's angry.

Uchiha Homon's move is undoubtedly a naked embezzlement of Hokage's authority and a challenge to Hokage's authority!

Since the establishment of the village, Konoha has been the core authority regarding the rewards and punishments of ninjas, and it is also the power tool of the Hokage as the leader of the ninja village to control the ninjas. With such an important core power, how can it be coveted by a mere upper ninja, even if it is the command of a ninja army.

"The village has its own system of rewards and punishments, and Hokage-sama will fairly evaluate your merits, so the commander of the fire gate doesn't have to bother."

Regardless of how many people present will be offended by this sentence, Mito Menyan said coldly with a blue face.

He didn't reach for the information that the Uchiha Fire Gate handed over.

"Hokage-sama naturally wants to evaluate it, but doesn't Hokage-sama need to take a look at the opinion of the headquarters?"

Uchiha said with compassion.

The Uchiha Fire Gate maintained the movement of handing over the information, and his hand reached straighter.

The seats of the two were already next to each other, and now the Uchiha Fire Gate was almost poked at the Mito Gate Yanmian Gate with the information.

Mito Menyan was expressionless, ignoring the documents in front of his face.

It's just that the undulating chest and the back of the hand with green tendons are silently showing that his heart is not as unwavering as it appears on the surface.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, dozens of people in charge of the upper seat were staring at the scene that was happening.

At this time, the air in the tent immediately quieted down.

The only sound was Mito's increasingly heavy breathing.

After a while, Sakushige Hachiki broke the deadlock.

"Since the Mito Gate advisor can't accept this document, let's send it back to the village."

Qimu Shuomao lowered his head as he spoke, and no one could see his expression clearly.

"It's fine."

Uchiha Tokumitsu motioned for Kohei Nara to step forward.

Nara Yukihei stepped forward with trepidation, took the information from the Uchiha fire gate, and escaped from the Chinese army's tent.

"Regarding the post-war border defense matters, Command Deguang has already made arrangements, do you have anything else to add?"

The Uchiha Fire Gate looked around the seat, and all the shinobi in charge bowed their heads and said that they had no opinion.

"Where's the Mito advisor?" Uchiha Fire Gate's eyes are on Mito Gate.

At this time, the upper ninjas of the Uchiha camp began to withdraw under the hint of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the upper ninjas of the Shuomao camp also left, and the other scattered family ninjas also hurriedly followed the footsteps of everyone and left.

"Fire Gate Commander ......" Mito Menyan glanced back and forth at the three people present, "and Commander Shuo Mao and Commander Tokumitsu ......"

"You three, you are indeed good."

When he said this, Mito Menyan's face was extremely gloomy, and it was obviously a counterstatement.

"If we hadn't had some means, it is estimated that we would have been killed a long time ago, so where would we have the opportunity to talk to the high-ranking advisor." Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care, and there was a little smile on his face, "But thankfully, the tent has never been stained with blood, which is a blessing, right?" ”

"Sakumo-kun......" Mito Menyan ignored Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, and instead turned his head to Shigeru Hagi, "...... You've disappointed me and I. ”

Sakumo Hachiki looked up.

His eyes are firm and resolute, and he looks directly into the eyes of Mito Menitis.

"I've never let Konoha's friends down, and as for other opinions, it's none of my business."

Although Hachiki Sakumo's voice was soft, it was as shocking as thunder in the ears of Mito Menyan.

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Homon were also a little surprised.

They thought that Qimu Shuomao would avoid talking about it as before, but they didn't expect it to be a vague but firm line.

"For the three ......of you," Mito Menyan continued, with a gloomy face, "It is a great crime to provoke border conflicts without the decision of Hokage-sama, to ignore loyalty and rules, and to forcibly pull the village into the abyss of a great power war......"

"So what?" Uchiha Tokumitsu interrupted Mito Menyan's words with a smile.

"So what." Uchiha Homon calmly retold Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.

"Hokage-sama can't let the headquarters be beaten and not fight back!" Sakumo Ki still tried to reason.

"It's not that you can't fight back!" Mito Menyan rebuked angrily, "Shuo Mao-kun, is it as simple as a border conflict that the Ministry has done? ”

"If you don't strike first, do you want to wait for Iwakuin to continue to gather troops and annihilate the headquarters in one fell swoop?" Uchiha Tokumitsu's face also began to gradually become gloomy.

"You are inciting wars between great powers and great powers!" Mito Menyan gritted his teeth and stared at Hachiki Shuo Shige, "Shuo Mao-kun, are you willing to see your fellow villagers fall into endless flesh and blood grinding on the battlefield and suffer heavy casualties!" ”

"I don't want to see the village cower for the sake of the so-called temporary peace." Hachiki Shuomao's eyes narrowed slightly, "Instead of consuming people's hearts in retreat and falling into endless involution and mutual accusations, it is better to reforge the soul of Konoha with blood and fire." ”

"The darker the sky in Konoha is, the more the Uchiha's flames shine."

A smile bloomed on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face again.

"What the hell are you up to?" Mito Gate is very puzzled.

"Excuse me, how did the Mito Gate advisor consult with Hokage-sama during this trip?" The Uchiha Homon wiped the short beard on his chin and said with a little disapproval.

"If we follow the usual practice of the village, in the face of the pressure of the ninja army in Iwakure at that time, should a certain advisor or high-ranking leader come here, or lead the army, or negotiate peace talks, we just can't let us, the military leaders, especially those from the Uchiha clan, take the initiative to attack, right?"

Uchiha Huomen's words made Mito Menyan's face even more gloomy.

"It also depends on the strength of the other party, if it is a small country, it will naturally be a heavy blow; If it's a big country, it's probably the advisors who negotiate peace. "Uchiha Tokumitsu is on the side.

"Peace is not maintained by concessions." Sakumo Hachiki said again.

"The great power peace order established by Lord Pillar and Madara-sama is based on the strongest military deterrence." Uchiha Tokumitsu stared at Mito Menyan, "Only war can bring long-lasting peace!" ”

"I and Ri Chop, I didn't expect that Shuo Maojun was actually a member of the martial arts faction." Mito Menyan said something outside of his words, and continued to talk about things around Hachiki Shuomao.

"I only have Konoha in my heart." Qimu Shuomao bowed slightly.

"My ninja, there is no retreat!"

Mito closed his eyes and sighed slightly.

"There is no possibility of compromise on core interests." Uchiha Tokumitsu said in response.

"It seems...... Northwest Frontier Defense, you've got it in your pocket. Mito Menyan said quietly: "Using the village's ninja army as a tool to plot your own ambitions, and using the blood of your companions to pave the way forward, is this your ninja way?" ”

"Could it be that it is right for Sarufei, Shimura, and Pig Deer Butterfly to divide up the commercial interests of the village?" Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered, "Inside and outside, is this your philosophy and ninja?" ”

Mito Menyan slowly stood up and took out two documents from his body.

"There is hereby the Hokage's edict as follows—"

Hagi Sao Shigeru sat up straight, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Homon unmoved.

"Order the command of the mobile force to command the Shigeru Hachiki and Uchiha Tokumitsu to lead the ninja army under their command, and from now on, they will be transferred to the Land of Rain to dispatch troops to carry out the sabotage combat mission!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige remained indifferent.

Mito Menyan ignored the indifferent reactions of the two and continued to unfold another edict.

"There is a Northwest Frontier Defense Force under the command of the Uchiha Fire Gate, without authorization, without the permission of the war, without the permission of the instigation of the Iwakure War, ignoring Konoha in injustice, treating the ninja army as his own, holding the authority of the garrison, and oppressing the chief of the Daimyo of the Grass Country, although he has the merit of victory, but his temperament is embarrassed to be the commander of one side, and he is hereby deprived of the right to transfer the ninja army of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, and all the departments are under the jurisdiction of the General General of the Rain Country Dispatch Army!"

The Uchiha Firegate snorted and couldn't help but laugh.

Mito Menyan also knew that these two edicts were just humiliating themselves at this time, so he threw them on the table after reading them.

"The Hokage's edict, we will seal it ourselves." The Uchiha Homon pointed to the two edicts on the table.

"It's just that in the battle against Iwakure in the headquarters, the victory of the first border guerrilla and pull-out battle has been reported to the village by the ninja eagle, I wonder if Hokage-sama has seen it before writing the order?"

"Firegate Commander, it's okay." Uchiha Tokuko said in a strange manner: "The right of the upper shinobi to refute is a rule set by Lord Pillar, and we just need to do things according to the rules." ”

"The mobile unit has been through the battle, and the ninjas under its command are all exhausted, and everyone has suffered a lot of injuries, so they can't be mobilized for the time being." Hachiki Shuo Shigeru politely and forcefully refused the order, "Moreover, the promotion and reward for the Battle of Iwain have not yet been determined by the headquarters, so it is really impossible to transfer to fight in other places. ”

Mito Menyan sighed.

This is also the most tiring time since he was promoted to the top of the village as a consultant of Konoha .

Since the death of the Uchiha Kagami, the Uchiha clan and the village have always been separated from morality, going against each other, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has caused this situation where the Uchiha clan openly resists the Hokage's edict, and his heart has long been prepared for this.

It's just that the stance and reaction shown by Sakushige Hagi far exceeded everyone's expectations.

In the past, he and the three generations of apes Tobi Hiza, Koharu Zhuan, and Shimura Danzou all thought that Hachiki Shuo Shigeru was a gentle person, and his closeness to the Uchiha clan was nothing more than a consistent practice of harmonious companionship, so he didn't think about intervening or separating the two parties.

It is clear that Sakumo Hagi and the Uchiha clan, or the ninja faction represented by Uchiha Tokumitsu, have reached an alliance of mutual support, either explicitly or implicitly.

It's a nightmare.

The power of the Uchiha clan alone and the various incidents that they often provoked were enough to make the Hokage family uneasy.

If you add the famous Qimu Shuomao to come forward to collect the small ninja ninjas and civilian ninjas in the village, then ......

Although it was warm inside the tent, Mito Menitan shivered.

"Mito Gate Advisor, Mito Gate Advisor!" The Uchiha Fire Gate called him a few times.

Mito Menyan was stunned for a moment and reacted.

All three of them had already gotten up, looking ready to leave.

"Since we have a big disagreement and we can't reach an agreement anytime soon, let's ask the Mito advisor to report the matter to the village." Uchiha Tokumitsu's face was filled with concern that was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, "Is the Mito Gate advisor tired from all the way?" But it doesn't matter, just rest for the night, and it's too late to go back to the village tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing this, Mito Menyan's first reaction was to disrupt the chakra cycle in his body, intending to check whether he had been controlled by illusion.

"Since the Mito Gate advisor is old, let's live in the village for the rest of his life."

Uchiha Homon picked up the two edicts that Mito Menyan had thrown on the table and stuffed them into Mito Menyan's hands, "This kind of thankless work, it's better to do less, after all, the village has always pursued the principle of 'the victor is not condemned', so it's better not to break the rules." ”

"And we are not alone, after all, we have already sent documents back to the village in advance, but the village's institutions are really bloated and bloated, and the headquarters has to be sent on the line, so it is not surprising that the village does not know about the big victory of the headquarters."

The sarcastic words of the two of them with guns and sticks and knocking and beating made Mito Menyan sure that he had not been tricked into illusion.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's apparent concern just now was actually just a malicious insinuation.

Qimu Shuomao raised his head and was the first to leave the Chinese army's tent.

Uchiha Tokumitsu made a 'please' gesture in the direction of the door.

Mito Menyan was expressionless and strode away.
