Although in the battle in the eastern part of the country of rain, Konoha was seriously injured and the three Hokage were defeated, but the last bit of vitality of the rain ninja was also close to the brink of annihilation under the siege of the Konoha ninja, who had an absolute advantage in both numbers and quality, so Hanzo chose to give up when he had a clear advantage in the high-end combat power battle.

This battle, for Konoha is barely winnable; But for Rain Ninja Village, it can only be described as undefeated and defeated.

After the rain ninja retreated, the eastern and southern regions of the rain country controlled by Konoha were completely stabilized, although the barren rain country could not squeeze any oil and water, but after all, the actual control was "martial arts", and the village also took advantage of this to make a big splash, so as to dilute the negative impact of serious injuries at the top.

What followed was the post-war meritorious deeds.

It's just that whether it is high-level opinions or public opinion spread within the village, it is relatively unfavorable to Uchiha Tokumitsu; In particular, the killing of Yasuji Nara, the deputy chief of staff of the dispatch army, with one sword, made the members of the upper ninja class talk about it a lot, and the dark tide surged for a while.

……

"Deguang-kun, aren't you worried?"

In the temporary station of the mobile unit in the northern part of Kawanokuni, Hachiki Sakushige asked Uchiha Tokumitsu again.

"What's there to worry about?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also knew Hagi Shuomao's worries, after all, he openly killed a shinobi because of a disagreement, which was reasonable, but it was actually unreasonable.

"Is it our Hokage-sama who will excommunicate me? Or did the Nara family encourage the upper ninja class to initiate impeachment? ”

"Now that I think about it, I was really impulsive at the time, and I should have stopped you......" Hachiki Sakumo sighed, "The discussion in the village is very bad for you. ”

"Discussion? Do you mean the imaginary rumors spread by the incompetent? Uchiha Tokumitsu scoffed at this.

"It's not a rumor, is it? You did kill Yasuji Nara in full view of everyone......" Hachiki Sakushige disagreed.

"What?" Uchiha Tokumitsu disagreed: "How can an incompetent insect like him be good if he doesn't clean up Konoha?" ”

Qimu Shuomao was speechless.

"So, Shuo Maojun, don't care too much about the influence of the so-called public opinion." Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to instill his 'crooked doctrine' to Sakushige Hagi, "It's mediocre not to be envied, and as the best of the shinobi, it's normal for us to have some controversy. ”

Qimu Shuomao's mouth opened and closed a few times, and he stopped talking.

"Well, I'll admit, it's a bit out of line, isn't there anything wrong with Yasuji Nara?" Uchiha Tokumitsu began to perform the 'fist technique', "When everyone is at fault, I still have to dwell on this little outrageous behavior, isn't it too much for them?" ”

"I think they want to use public opinion to drive me to death! There is nothing more sinister than this! ”

"All of this must have been done by that old yin man in Tuanzang!"

"Moreover, Yasuji Nara only lost his insignificant life, and I, but my reputation has been ruined since then!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu output a set of punches and shook the pot along the way, shattering the fragile three views of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru.

"But ......"

Hagi Sakumo instinctively felt that there was obviously something wrong with Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, but there was nothing he could do for a while.

"It's not a good thing to offend the Nara family too obviously, after all, the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies have always been in the same spirit, and in addition to going to the ninja class, they also occupy important positions in many departments."

"That's why we have to take the initiative to provoke contradictions with them and start a struggle!" Uchiha Tokumitsu's words were unusually firm.

"Shuo Mao-kun, what do you think of our contribution to the war?"

“…… Although it was not a decisive role in the Battle of the Land of Rain, we defeated Iwakure! ”

Speaking of this, Qimu Shuomao's waist pole straightened.

In the battle against Iwakuin in the north of the Grass Country, the pressure of the Hokage's edict crushed the Iwakure border troops in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the stability of the Grass Country.

Moreover, Iwakuin is also one of the five major ninja villages, and it is much stronger than the country of rain in terms of strength and weight.

"After the first battle in the Land of Rain, the only thing that may cause war to break out again in the near future is Sand Hide, and all other directions are gradually calming down." Uchiha Tokumitsu analyzed: "However, our combat exploits should be rewarded like this, and there is no one to say so far!" ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned the conversation to exploits.

"But...... Does the exploits of war have anything to do with the killing of Yasuji Nara? ”

Sakushige immediately realized that the topic had been diverted.

"There is a high probability that I will be able to offset the merits and demerits, and the police department will also cooperate in producing some necessary evidence. Afterwards, the three clans of pigs, deer and butterflies will also take the initiative to choose to calm things down, but there is only one squad leader in the ninja class, and if you don't provoke trouble, how can you stand in line? ”

Although Qimu Shuomao felt that these words were indeed far-fetched, they could be said to be reasonable.

As for Uchiha Tokumitsu, did he think about this when he killed Yasuji Nara?

Naturally, there is none.

It's just that Nara's tone made him very unhappy, and he also mentioned the name of the group, plus he also accumulated some resentment in the battle with Hanzo, so he used the topic to play a ruthless role.

But when talking to Qimu Shuomao, naturally they can't all tell the truth.

……

On the third day after the war, Mito Menyan, who was the envoy of Konoha and led his troops to the headquarters of Rain Ninja Village, signed a general armistice and friendly alliance agreement with Sanshoyu Hanzo.

In the agreement, Yushinobi acknowledged that Konoha had the right to garrison the southern and eastern regions of the Land of Rain without seeking annexation, and also promised that the two sides had an obligation to work together as allies to deal with the challenge of foreign enemies.

In short, Konoha was given territory, and the Rain Ninja Village was reduced to a de facto vassal of the allies on the surface.

Although Sanshoyu Hanzo was very dissatisfied with the conditions of Konoha blooming, he was helpless.

Mito Menyan respects Sanshoyu Hanzo himself very much in his attitude, but he does not make concessions in the substantive terms, and at most he modifies the modifiers to make the rain ninja village appear more face-saving, and does not give an inch when it comes to actual interests.

After the agreement was signed, Sha Yin expressed great indignation, believing that this was another evidence of Konoha taking advantage of the power of a big country to bully small countries, and that Sha Yin, as one of the five major ninja villages, has the ability and obligation to safeguard the interests and existence of small countries.

At the same time, after cracking the toxin of Sanshoyu Hanzo, under the overall command of the high-level Chiyo Elder of the Sand Hide, the Sand Hidden Ninja Army began to mobilize the ninja army to march towards the Konoha area in the south of the Rain Country and the western part of the Kawano Country at the same time, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the mobile troops under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige.

However, for Konoha side, the immediate priority is not to deal with the challenge of the sand hide, but to deal with the follow-up after the Battle of the Land of Rain.

Danzo, who was the general of the dispatch army, was severely injured by Sanshoyu Hanzo, and he was no longer able to govern, and as a defeated person in the battle, it was particularly inappropriate for him to continue to deal with Yunin Village and Sanshoyu Hanzo, otherwise there would be trouble in the future.

Therefore, the candidate for the next general of the dispatch army is another fat gap.

As the Hokage's envoy, Mito Menyan temporarily served as the commander of the dispatch force as an emissary, but it was only a temporary relief - because he did not have sufficient direct force to support him.

The reason why Danzo was able to serve as the general of the dispatch army was not only because of his status as an advisor elder, but more importantly, he also had a root ninja as a team.

And Mito Menyan has mainly assisted the Hokage in handling government affairs for a long time, and occasionally served as a special envoy to visit foreign countries, but the Mito Gate family he was born in was only a small family, barely a small ninja clan, and there was no way to give him too much support.

All in all, the Rain Country Dispatch Army, which has one-third of Konoha ninja power, must choose a new speaker who can convince the public.

Even if after this battle, the dispatch army will definitely usher in a downsizing, and the troops seconded from other ninja armies will be rebuilt one after another, but after all, it is the only "general general" position in Konoha at present, which is higher than the commander of the border defense forces of each department, so the qualified shinobi are very concerned about this.

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige didn't care much about this, so they didn't pay attention to the fact that Mito Menyan didn't inform them of the military meeting held by the dispatch army.

But the two of them were not idle, in addition to reporting the information of the Shinobi army to the village, they were constantly moving around with Mimura Hamaki and Kimeko Knife, complaining to each other.

To plot the position of the ninja class, not only does it need to be supported by military merits, but it also needs to have enough trust votes from the ninja, and finally the appointment of the Hokage.

At present, there is no shortage of military exploits.

Whether it is the record of the mobile unit or the past resume, in fact, it is more than enough to serve as the leader of the upper ninja squad.

But his biggest disadvantage is that he does not have a strong enough backstage, nor does he have a united fixed team.

But this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu made it clear that he would coordinate the Uchiha clan to unanimously support him, which also gave Hagi Sakushige hope.

It's true that he's a believer in the Will of Fire, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming of becoming the Hokage as well.

It is not enough to have the support of the Uchiha clan, because the Uchiha clan is actually an excluded existence in the village, although they have the strength but not much right to speak, so they have to get the support of the centrists.

The centrist is naturally a commoner or a small ninja at the same time, and the big ninja clan, except for the Uchiha clan, who has not yet had a pillar figure who can take a hand, naturally does not want to choose a side in this kind of matter, and offends the three clans of Konoha F4 and Pig Deer Butterfly at the same time.

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to do more for Konoha ......"

After a visit and wooing trip by the Western Border Defense Force, Sakushige Hachiki said to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Definitely! Who wouldn't want to contribute more to the village! ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed 100,000 points of support for Hachiki Sakushige's idea.

"If I become the leader of the upper ninja class, I will change the situation of civilian ninjas and small ninjas, so that they can get the treatment and development they deserve!"

At this time, the flag is full of ambition and high spirits.

"Of course! It must be for the good of Konoha! Uchiha Tokumitsu echoed very face-savingly.

"In the future, I will also defeat the enemies who dare to offend Konoha!"

"Uh-huh! I still want to hit the moon! ”

Qimu Shuomao was speechless.

Soon, the latest appointment of the village came down.

From the original 'retired', Akido took the wind back to serve as the general of the dispatch army stationed in the country of rain.

The ninja army under the jurisdiction of the dispatch army also began to be reduced and rebuilt one after another, and the number of people dropped to about 3,000.

As for what Uchiha Tokumitsu did, the attitude shown by the Hokage was extremely ambiguous.

There was neither investigation nor characterization, but only the rumors that were allowed to roam the village.

Now even the most lonely villagers in Konoha know that the Uchiha clan, which has always been arrogant and domineering, has produced a particularly arrogant and domineering Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Pointing the knife at your companion will inevitably be criticized, regardless of the cause of the incident.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't care.

As the saying goes, if there are more lice, the reputation of the Uchiha clan is not much better, and no more negative effects will make the situation worse, but will make the allies feel that the Uchiha clan does not have much interest and is more secure.

"When is the motion for going to the ninja class going to be launched?" Uchiha Tokumitsu is most concerned about this issue.

In the past few days, he has also communicated with his family and the vassal ninja clans, and has received unanimous support, and the number of votes for the upper ninja has been determined at present, which is close to one-third, plus the supporters of Qimu Shuomao and the centrist who have recently been wooed, and it can be determined that he won the upper ninja vote.

Everything is ready, and it is natural to start harvesting.

“…… Let's defeat Sand Hidden first. Hachiki Sakumo thought about it for a while, and felt that it was still the first priority to deal with foreign enemies at present.

“…… Okay, so you can add another great credit. Uchiha Tokumitsu was not very happy, but he accepted Hachiki Sakushige's statement.

"Deguangjun is quite confident in the Sand Hidden War."

"There's no reason to lose." Uchiha Tokumitsu analyzed: "At present, the ninja army forces we have in our hands already have mobile troops and western border defense forces, and what we have to face is actually only the sand in the direction of Kawanokuni. ”

"What about the southern region of the Land of Rain?"

"Just leave it to the dispatch army." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied: "Sakumo-kun, we can't take all the war, not only because our strength does not allow it, but also because we have to give the ninja army in other directions some opportunities to make meritorious contributions." ”

"That's ...... too"

"Moreover, after sitting on the cold bench for many years, the predecessor of Qiu Dao has just had the opportunity to return as the general of the dispatch army, and he also needs some credit."

"But why do I think that the predecessor of the wind is not very concerned about the death of that Nara Yasuji?" Qimu Shuo Momo wiped his chin and said with some hesitation.

"A side descendant who doesn't even have the word deer in his name dies and dies, what else can he do?" Uchiha Tokumitsu explained, "And he's still a pawn hidden in the secret, maybe the Nara family will secretly rejoice when he dies!" ”

"Did the police department find the evidence?" As soon as he said this, Qimu Shuomao was energetic.

"No, it's just a guess." Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "Otherwise, what good person of the ninja clan would call Danzo 'Lord'." ”

"You seem to have some truth when you say that......"

"That's it!"

The two-day rush period has been delayed for a while, and the double shift will be resumed from tomorrow.
