Chapter 105: Vertical and Horizontal

Blessed with a wealth of talents, Konoha has never lacked genius.

And there are more geniuses who die halfway.

Ninja is a high-risk profession that is accompanied by danger and death all year round, but any Konoha ninja who can grow up to become a shinobi is basically a momentary hero with the name of "genius" when he is young.

But the ninja world is far more brutal than a ninja school or a family school.

Only a ninja who has perfected his talent is a true genius.

Sakushige Hagi is such a genius.

And among the ninja crowds on Konoha , Hachiki Shuomao is even more popular for virtue and credibility.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu directly placed a heavy bet on Hachiki Sakushige without consulting the family.

Even in the face of some predicaments, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru seemed a little ignorant, and Uchiha Tokumitsu directly helped him clear the obstacles regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

As an Uchiha who has solved the mystery of the womb and has memories of his past life, does he really have no ambitions?

Not.

A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, could cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.

It's just that Uchiha Tokumitsu is still unsure how much of an impact his existence and actions have had on Konoha and even the ninja world, and how long the prophetic advantage of memories about the future can be maintained.

Uchiha Tokumitsu has also changed a lot of things since he was a child, such as proposing to establish a preparatory training school for the Ministry of Police, such as participating in the war of the Vortex Country and participating in the killing of the Fog Hidden Yuan Division; For example, he participated in the Grass Country War and defeated Iwakure's invasion many times; For example, he participated in the Sand Hidden War in the country of Kawano, and killed the high-level Chiyo of Sand Hide......

In all its aspects, it seems that a lot has changed.

But it doesn't seem to have changed much.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu needs a strong figure who stands up and stirs up the situation in Konoha and even the ninja world.

It would be nice if this powerful person could be influenced by himself

It just so happens that Sakumo Qimu is the right person.

Just when Hagi Sakumo took the initiative to visit the various clans, Uchiha Tokumitsu also visited the elders of the various factions of the family, the head people, and the speakers of the ninja clan under the leadership of Elder Akina, clarified the stakes, and won their support one by one.

At the same time, as Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige continue to visit various ninja clans, the atmosphere inside Konoha is becoming more and more dignified.

There are also more and more clashes between the police and the dark department.

Rumors are rife in the village.

But all the middle ninja and upper ninja who have some information channels already know that with the full support of the Uchiha clan, Hachiki Sakumo is ready to attack the position of the leader of the upper ninja squad.

At this time, a large group of ninjas from the three generations of apprentices, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru led the Rain Country Dispatch Army back to the village collectively according to the rotation system.

Subsequently, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent a message to recall the Tokumitsu Red Reserve of 300 Uchiha ninjas stationed in the Daimyo Mansion of the Grass Country.

The situation inside Konoha is becoming more and more tense.

Under the mobilization of Uchiha Tokumitsu, intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that a civil war is about to break out.

At this moment, an invitation was sent to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Tsunade Hime's invitation.

It is planned to invite Uchiha Tokumitsu to participate in the festival of the Senju clan Inaba Shrine tomorrow.

"The battle for the leader of the upper ninja class will probably be seen tomorrow......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu handed the invitation to Hachiki Sakushige, who had arrived in a hurry.

"Tsunade-hime......"

Qimu Shuomao also hesitated.

The rumours that have been circulating in recent years have been particularly unfavorable to him, and all kinds of vicious attacks have emerged one after another. Fortunately, Uchiha Tokumitsu directly commanded the ninjas of the police department through his father Uchiha Nakagen, and forcibly suppressed this unfavorable momentum, and the various upper ninjas also expressed their support for Hagi Shiroshige, and because of this, Hagi Sorgeru persevered.

But coercive control cannot last, and it is bound to inspire rebellion.

Therefore, the battle for the leader of the upper ninja class must be seen as soon as possible.

"There are three days left until the next Shangnin meeting."

Uchiha Tokumitsu calmly drank a cup of tea, "So someone can't sit still anymore." ”

"It's okay......" Sakumo Hachiki picked up the teacup as well, "I never thought that the factions within the village would be so complicated......"

"What's wrong?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked casually.

"Although there are indeed many shinobi who are willing to support, there are also many people who accuse them of not provoking a head-on conflict with the three tribes of Pig, Deer and Butterfly, which makes the atmosphere in the village so tense...... And there are quite a few civilian ninjas who say so......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sensed the wavering in Hachiki Sakushige's heart.

"There are no factions in the village, and there are thousands of strange things." Uchiha Tokumitsu pushed a lacquer plate full of melons and fruits in front of Hachiki Sakumo, "This is a frost persimmon brought back from the country of grass, Sakumo-kun taste it." ”

"The Land of Grass......

Sakumo Hachiki picked up a frost persimmon and tasted it carefully, "I didn't know that there was such a specialty in the country of grass before......"

"Just this humble fruit, after opening up the trade route to market the Fire Country, can bring us the Uchiha clan nearly a million taels of income every month." Uchiha Tokumitsu said quietly, "And the most famous specialty beef of the country of grass is more profitable......"

"So much!" Sakumo Qimu was also taken aback.

"Yes, a peaceful environment coupled with open trade routes will surely promote a prosperous trade and thus benefit more people." Uchiha Tokumitsu also picked up a frost persimmon and took a bite.

But who cared about that in the past? Who cares if the frost persimmons planted by the civilians of the country of grass can only rot in the mountains due to the influence of war and banditry? Who cares if the civilians of Konoha or even the Land of Fire have eaten these cheap and delicious fruits? ”

"Aren't the three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies ......?"

Qimu Shuomao felt that the frost persimmon in his hand was not sweet.

"The three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies have a monopoly on the supply of medicinal herbs and food, and their profits may be even higher." Uchiha Tokumitsu took another bite of the frost persimmon, as if he was biting the flesh and blood of the three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies, "And the vast number of civilian ninjas, not only are the ways to practice ninjutsu extremely limited, but after being injured and suffering in missions or wars, they will be exploited by them again. ”

"What about the Uchiha clan?" Hachiki Sakumo looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with a serious expression: "The Uchiha clan is even more of a ninja clan, what do you want?" ”

"Shuo Mao-kun, the Preparatory Training Academy of the Ministry of Police is open to all suitable and interested people in the village who are of the right age to join, but everyone has a deep-rooted misunderstanding about the Uchiha, and it is difficult to promote it due to some unspeakable resistance."

Qimu Shuomao was silent.

"So, the Uchiha clan just wants to eliminate the estrangement with the village and get more due benefits." Uchiha Tokumitsu said equally seriously.

As for the truth or falsity of these words, only Uchiha Tokumitsu himself knows.

"Then tomorrow Tsunade Hime is there...... I'll leave it to you. ”

Qimu Shuomao leaned over and saluted and said sincerely.

"For the new Konoha that we all want."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also bowed in return.

……

The periphery of the Thousand Hands Land.

Uchiha Tokumitsu came to Senju Inaba Shrine according to the invitation.

Since Madara Uchiha's departure, Uchiha Tokumitsu should have been the first Uchiha to visit the Senju Shrine.

Unlike the Uchiha clan's Nanga Shrine, which is built with stones, the Inaba Shrine in Senju Mori is built with traditional wood.

Nineteen vermilion torii gates line up to Senju Shrine.

After a tedious ritual, the Uchiha Tokumitsu was ushered into an ashram.

"Excuse me."

Uchiha Tokumitsu knocked lightly on the door, and without waiting for the person inside to reply, he pushed the door straight inside.

Tsunade sat behind a low table with a pale blue-haired, pale face.

"Tsunade-hime, good day"

Uchiha Tokumitsu walked into the room and greeted the two, "Broken Shinobi, are you feeling better?" ”

Tsunade returned the salute with a blank face.

"Deguang Jun Ri'an, I didn't expect you to know you too."

The blue-haired man, who is Tsunade's lover, Kato Tsunade, said with a little surprise.

A character whose fate was changed under the influence of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

In the original memory, Kato Tsunade died in a battle during the Second Shinobi War, and Tsunade suffered from hemophobia.

Perhaps it was Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hagi Sakushige who attracted the hatred of Sunakin in Kawanokuni, and after dividing their troops, they were relatively short of troops, and although they were wounded in battle, Kato was finally able to survive after timely treatment.

"The spiritualization technique of the broken upper ninja is very famous, although it is the first time to meet, but the fame and merits of the broken upper ninja have long been heard."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also restrained his usual wanton and replied calmly.

"Don't say these polite words."

Tsunade rudely interrupted the greetings between the two, "Tokumitsu-kun, do you know the purpose of inviting you to the shrine?" ”

"I don't know."

Uchiha Tokumitsu wasn't used to her either, and choked back directly.

“…… The recent turmoil between you and Shuo Maojun, don't you have a score in your heart? ”

Tsunade stared straight at Uchiha Tokumitsu for a long time before he said, "The village is surging with dark tides, and people are panicking, don't you care at all?" ”

"Tsunade Hime refers to the time when the shinobi class changes?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled; "The position of the village is not a private property of a family with one surname, Shuo Maojun has the heart to do more for the village, and I am willing to support him, that's all."

"That's all?"

Tsunade frowned, his face displeased.

"Or else? Started a civil war? Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about Tsunade's displeasure, and continued to say the most arrogant words in the most bland tone: "Anyway, if it goes on like this, Konoha will die in internal friction sooner or later, so it's better to fight as soon as possible so that you can start a new Konoha again." ”

"You keep saying that the position in the village is not the private property of a family with one surname, but what about the police department?" Tsunade's tone became more and more gloomy, "Isn't the Ministry of Police recognized as being under the control of the Uchiha clan?" Why would Deguangjun prevaricate with such a boring excuse? ”

"Tsunade-hime misunderstood." Uchiha Tokumitsu's face did not change, "The police department has been reformed a long time ago, but everyone is unwilling to join." ”

"Say, I'd like to hear your quibbles." Tsunade clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a sneer.

I haven't seen him for some time, but Tsunade has really grown up a lot.

"Have you heard of the Police Department's Preparatory Training Academy?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled leisurely and gave an answer that Tsunade didn't expect.

Tsunade lowered the hand that was clasped in front of his chest, and his expression became serious.

Kato was still indifferent, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Uchiha Tokumitsu thanked Kato with a slight bow of thanks, and continued: "Villagers who are interested in joining the police department can apply for the police department's preparatory training academy, and after passing the training assessment, they can join the police department on the basis of merit. ”

"So you mean, I can also be the chief of the police department?" Tsunade said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yes."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with great certainty, and then added, "It's just that you have to start with the police force." ”

Tsunade sneered.

"Then you still trick Shuo Maojun into competing for the leader of the ninja class?"

"Did Tsunade Ji forget...... You, I, Broken Shangnin, and Shuo Mao-kun, as well as Shuo Mao-kun's supporters, are all members of the upper ninja class. Uchiha Tokumitsu's face continued, and he continued to answer indifferently.

Tsunade's and Kato's expressions changed slightly.

"Besides, with Shuo Maojun's strength and merits, can't he still be the leader of the upper ninja class?" Uchiha Tokumitsu asked rhetorically, "I think even if it is the position of Hokage, Sakumo-kun is qualified!" ”

"Hokage's Seat ......"

Tsunade's expression turned indifferent, "It seems that the Uchiha clan is still obsessed with the position of the Hokage, and Shuomao-kun is just a pawn who has been bewitched by you and doesn't know it." ”

"Even the most mediocre shinobi, their dream at the ninja school is to become the Hokage." Uchiha Tokumitsumi quietly threw a nail at Tsunade, "And who are they being bewitched by?" ”

"You!"

Tsunade's face was angry and he wanted to get up, but Kato quickly grabbed her.

"Tsunade-hime, as I said, the position in the village is not a private property to be controlled by a family name, and every Konoha ninja should have the power to chase their dreams."

Uchiha Tokumitsu drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

Kato was about to continue adding, but was stopped by Uchiha Tokumitsu waving his hand.

"If there is no reasonable upward channel, continue to let some people suppress the juniors, the village will have an accident sooner or later!" Uchiha Tokumitsu gently dusted off his clothes and prepared to leave, "...... At that time, it is not impossible for a civil war to occur. ”

"You're threatening me?"

Tsunade's face turned iron-blue.

"I'm just stating a fact." Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up, "A fact that everyone knows but no one has dared to say. ”

"Humph!"

Tsunade snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

Seeing that Uchiha Tokumitsu was about to leave, Kato quickly got up and prepared to send him off.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu had just opened the door and was about to go out, he bumped into a little boy.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was fine, but the little boy fell to the ground due to the force of the collision.

"Are you alright?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu reached out and pulled the little boy up.

"It's okay...... Sorry ha! ”

The blonde boy got up with the help of Uchiha Tokumitsu's hand and said with some embarrassment.

"Rope tree! You're still so reckless! Tsunade shouted angrily, "How did Orochimaru teach you!" So nothing has changed! ”

"Sister......

The blonde boy apologized to Tokumitsu Uchiha and walked inside.

Uchiha Tokumitsu quietly closed the door and left.

A descendant of the Thousand Hands Clan, a boy who died in the Detonation Talisman Array with his original memory.

Another character whose fate has been changed.

Looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky, Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled brightly.
