Chapter 106: Prelude to the Campaign
The genius was bright, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu got up and washed up according to the usual schedule, and changed into a brand new Konoha shinobi uniform, and filled the ninja bag and scroll sleeve to the brim.
Today is the official day of the upper ninja class meeting.
Due to the recent slowdown in the war, Konoha Shinobu who was stationed abroad chose to return to the village to attend the meeting during this time if there was no need for a task.
But in the past, the shinobi have not been so active.
Even sometimes even if people are in the village, they don't bother to move when they hear the ninja eagle signal held by the upper ninja meeting, and they just ignore it.
Mainly because the content of the past ninja class meetings was empty and had little value, and the speakers in the audience spoke even more stinky and long, regardless of the audience's life as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
But this time is different.
Hachiki Shuomao's intentions for the position of the leader of the upper ninja class can be said to be known to everyone in Konoha.
Therefore, even if they knew that it would not be their turn to be the leader of the upper ninja class, the upper ninjas couldn't contain their burning gossip soul and rushed back to have fun...... Oh no, it's your own sacred vote!
When Uchiha Tokumitsu walked downstairs, his father, Uchiha Nakagen, was already dressed and waiting, and his mother, Emiko, had just brought breakfast from the kitchen.
"Xiao Deguang is so early~" Emiko smiled energetically: "Hurry up and have breakfast~"
"Okay~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also replied with a smile.
A freshly baked pancake, two hard-boiled eggs, and a bowl of hot miso soup are one breakfast for each person in the Uchiha Tokumitsu family.
Emiko poured a glass of milk for Uchiha Tokumitsu, while Uchiha Nakagen made herself a pot of tea from a glass.
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at the goji berries that were floating in the glass a few times.
In this way, in the warm laughter of the family, a new day began.
After saying goodbye to her mother, Emiko, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Nakagen walked out of the house together.
At the intersection not far from the door, there were already several Uchiha shinobi waiting there.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Nakagen stepped forward and nodded slightly to them.
Needless to say, after a few days of visits, all Uchiha shinobi, whether radicals or conservatives, have unified their opinions on the change of the upper ninja class.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Nakagen walked in front, and the other Uchiha Kamishinobi followed behind, silently advancing towards the clan gate.
Along the way, there was another Uchiha Kamishinobi who had just gone out and silently joined the team.
At the gate of the clan land, the patriarch Uchiha Quartet and his sister-in-law Uchiha Fugaku also happened to walk out under the support of a group of Uchiha Shinobi.
After a few words of greeting, the two teams converged and walked towards the meeting hall of the upper ninja class in the direction of the Hokage Building.
Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but glance back at the Uchiha clan's upper ninja team.
More than one hundred and eighty upper ninjas, especially upper ninjas, are mighty and imposing, and this is only the number of upper ninjas of the Uchiha clan, in addition to a large number of upper ninja level Sangoyu clan people did not come because they were not registered in Konoha.
Along the way, Uchiha's pro-ninja clans such as Shiranui and Harano joined the team.
When they came to a crossroads, they happened to meet the upper ninja team of the Kurama clan, and the two ninja clans, who were still somewhat personal friends, talked for a while and continued to walk in the direction of the Hokage Building.
The upper ninja team has swelled to more than two hundred and fifty people, almost one-third of the upper ninja on Konoha Mingmi. This is still because the limit on the number of ninja promotions was relaxed during the Ninja World War, otherwise the proportion may be more.
As for the other ninjas encountered along the way, Ben walked leisurely towards the meeting hall of the upper ninja class on the street, but as soon as he saw the upper ninja team of the Uchiha clan, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly flashed aside.
"Shuo Mao-kun, good morning!"
At another intersection, Hachiki Sakushige met the Uchiha clan in a crowd of shinobi supporters.
"Good morning, Deguang-kun."
With a smile on his face, Sakumo Hachiki greeted the acquaintances of the ninja on the Uchiha one by one.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the team reunited again, and the Kaminin, who had been frightened by the power of the Uchiha, saw this and joined the team of Hachiki Shuoshige.
At this time, the number of Konoha shinobi gathered together had risen to as many as four hundred.
"Shuo Mao-kun isn't worried now?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu tilted his head slightly and laughed quietly.
"There's nothing to worry about." Qimu Shuomao smiled smugly, "The preparations that should be made have been made, and besides, Deguangjun has already helped me so much, if I am not sure, then I can't say it." ”
"Then congratulations to Shuo Mao-kun in advance." Uchiha Tokumitsu was also smiling.
"In the final analysis, it is because of Deguangjun's support, otherwise this matter would never be possible." Sakumo Hachiki made no secret of his gratitude.
Although it was a whisper, which of the shinobi was not a deaf and clear-sighted person, and the unavoidable conversation between Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige was naturally listened to in their ears.
Although the faces of the Uchiha shinobi did not change, they were still very satisfied with the words of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru in their hearts.
Not every Uchiha Shinobi has a good impression of Hagi Sorgerg, but after Uchiha Tokumitsu's persuasion, they are all willing to vote for Hagi Sorgerg.
And the gratitude expressed in Hagi Shiroshige's words also made the Uchiha Shinobi identify with Hagi Sorgeru a little more.
"This is Konoha's first ......"
Qimu Shuomao also looked back at the upper ninja team behind him, and said with some emotion.
"It's also the first time in the ninja world."
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued.
For a long time, although Konoha Shinobi had a lot of privileges as the commander of the ninja army, they were weakened during the three generations of Konoha at the helm.
In particular, the Kaminobi Council has almost become a fictitious institution. Not to mention power, even if you put forward an opinion at the meeting, it is not necessarily that the ninja squad leader will communicate and solve it, and even sometimes if some of the problems that are reflected cannot be solved or the resistance is too great, you will look back and find a reason to suppress the upper ninja who raised the problem.
For example, the Konoha high-level group of the Tibetan elder privately plundered the ninja children to the roots, there was a lot of turmoil, but in the end the absurd reason of "everywhere is to contribute to Konoha " prevaricated, and the upper ninja who put forward the opinion was also transferred to a border unit soon after, and during a patrol, dozens of kunai committed suicide by being hit in the back.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and dripping stone is not a day's work.
Even if it is perfectly governed, there will always be an opposition.
What's more, there is a group that can even do things that can plunder the children of the ninja clan, and they are constantly pulling hatred.
The opposition of Konoha F4 has always been there, but in the past they were just a piece of scattered sand.
Under the constant advocacy of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the already famous Hachiki Shuo Shigeru stepped forward and gave them a chance to take sides and unite together.
The road to the upper ninja class was not long, but the team of the Uchiha clan and Hachiki Sakushige was not going fast either.
Along the way, the ninja clan's children and civilian ninjas who had a close relationship with the Hokage saw this and avoided it.
And the supporters of Sakumo Hagi joined the team directly.
"Patriarch of the Quartet."
The Hyuga clan's Kamishinobi also appeared at the next intersection.
Patriarch Hinata took the initiative to say hello to Patriarch Uchiha.
"Good day."
The Uchiha patriarch also responded politely.
Then the Hyuga patriarch raised his hand and motioned for the Uchiha patriarch to go first, and after humbling for a while, the Uchiha team and the Hyuga clan's team marched together and continued to move forward.
At the office window of the Hokage Building, the three generations of apes and flying suns silently watched the Shinobi team coming from afar.
In the office, Mito Menyan and Koharu stood behind him, also looking at the mighty team of shinobi, while Danzo sat in a wheelchair, hiding in a dark corner of the office.
In their eyes, they can see that the Uchiha Shinobi in the team are all fully equipped, and the ninja equipment is bulging, and they look like they will fight if things don't go their way.
The most eye-catching thing is that Hinata, who has always been at odds with the Uchiha, is also in the team, although Hinata is in a column of its own, but it is still eye-catching, and it is easy to make people think about it.
"The Day ......"
Zhuan Xiaochun couldn't help but say.
Sarutobi shook his head and motioned to stop talking, "Hinata won't stand in line, they will only encounter them on the road at most." ”
"The Hyuga clan is all grass on the wall, so there is nothing to worry about." 、
Tuan Zang in the corner of the wall suddenly spoke.
Ape Fei Ri nodded slightly.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhuan Koharu continued to ask.
In the past few days, she and Mito Menyan have been discussing strategies, but all strategies, whether reliable or not, were all rejected when they were presented in front of Sarutobi.
Ape Fei Ri shook his head again, not saying a word.
The Hokage's office was quiet again.
Although the upper ninjas who were gathered by Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige may not be much united, their concentrated appearance means that the rift inside Konoha can no longer be hidden, and one side must retreat before they are willing to give up.
If it's an ordinary small ninja or a civilian ninja, then they don't have to be a problem.
But the biggest problem is that the Uchiha family, which has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the Hokage, has clearly participated in it through the thread of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Plus those who are close to the ninja clan of the Uchiha clan, as well as the Kurama clan who have always been better with the Uchiha...... It has become a huge force enough to overturn Konoha.
In this way, it would be impossible for the Hokage clan to suppress this matter through authoritarianism or force.
"The ...... of the change of the upper ninja class"
Ape Feiri slashed and muttered softly.
"Let's get ready to go to the conference hall."
The Kamishinobi meeting was about to take place, and Sarutobi turned back to his desk and picked up the Hokage hat on the countertop.
"Tuan Zang, you can go over with you."
Mito Menyan said to Danzo.
"Don't go! It's a shame to go to a meeting that is bound to lose! ”
Tuan Zang put aside the next sentence, turned his wheelchair and left.
Mito Menyan and Koharu were silent.
Ape Fei Ri's expression remained unchanged.
"Let's go."
Then he was the first to walk out of the Hokage's office.
