The power struggle between clan power and shadow power, and the conflict between the interests of ninja ninjas and civilian ninjas.

These are the two main contradictions in Konoha at present, and the most fierce struggle.

The ninja clan has its own internal system, whether it is the inheritance of secret arts or the distribution of cultivation resources, it has its own rules, and the rules or systems of the ninja clan are often contrary to those of the ninja village.

As the ruler of Konoha supreme power, the Hokage is nominally the commander of all Konoha ninjas, but only for registered ninjas.

To be sure, the power of ninja autonomy can neither be demonized, but it cannot be glorified. Although it is true that the ninja clan power oppresses and even exploits some people, the protection provided by the ninja to ordinary people is correspondingly stronger than the protection of civilians in the village.

At least the Great Ninja Clan will not have their own children quietly snatched away by the Roots and the Stream

It is this kind of protection and relatively favorable cultivation conditions based on common blood relations that maintain the relative independence of the ninja in Konoha.

And in addition to the Uchiha clan, each Konoha ninja clan more or less has its own "family ninja" trained by the family hierarchy. And these ninjas who are not registered are directly under the orders of the ninja leaders or elders, and perform some tasks for them that are inconvenient for people to know.

At the same time, some long-standing ninjas will also take on some special tasks issued by their long-term employers through special channels, including but not limited to espionage, assassination, sabotage, etc.

Even if these tasks would be contrary to the interests of Shinobu Village.

Therefore, the second generation set up a ninja school to train recruits on a large scale as a supplement, and diluted the ninja monopoly in ninjutsu and ninja education through numerical advantages, while the ninja school only taught ninja basic knowledge and three-body arts, so that the ninja could bind the ninja to a certain extent through the role of leading the team to the ninja and some talented civilians through the master-apprentice relationship, so that the ninja acquiesced to the implementation of the ninja school and sent some people to the ninja school for education to form a bond.

In addition, the "Will of Fire" education promoted by the ninja school also diluted the personal dependency relationship within the ninja to a certain extent, so that more ninja descendants tend to the village rather than limit their thinking to the family.

On the whole, in the contradictory struggle between clan power and shadow power, the Hokage family is on the dominant side.

However, the disputes between the ninja and the civilian population are relatively more diverse.

Promotions, task takes, job competitions and other links are full of contradictions and conflicts between ninjas and civilians.

Although the civilian ninjas are outnumbered, their overall quality is uneven, and there is no unity at all. Among them, there are both orochimaru, Jiraiya, and other civilian-born geniuses, but more of them are middle-aged ninjas who can only throw kunai with three body techniques, and in the competition with ninja ninjas, except for a very small number of talented people, most civilian ninjas are uncompetitive in front of ninjas.

The Uchiha clan obtained the qualification to issue the police department's subordinate ninja certificate through the police preparatory school, and at the same time, the Sangotama clan also obtained the qualification to directly evaluate the police department's upper ninja, which is already a naked act of separatism.

Both ninjas and civilians expressed extreme indignation at this on the surface.

Regardless of whether the Uchiha clan violated their interests or not, the Uchiha had the power that I didn't have, and their psychology was immediately unbalanced.

And this psychological imbalance caused by the distribution of power, coupled with the various revenge attacks of the Ministry of Police in the recent law enforcement process, prompted them to jointly complain about the matter to the head of the upper ninja class, that is, Qimu Shuomao, under the guidance of some well-intentioned people, thus contributing to the early convening of this upper ninja class meeting.

……

"What are you going to say at tomorrow's meeting of the upper ninja meeting?"

In Elder Sasina's mansion, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Elder Sadena sat facing each other.

"In the past, whatever we justified would be distorted into something else, so this time I'm going to ...... directly."

Uchiha Tokumitsu maintained an appropriate level of respect, bowing his head slightly.

"Straightforward?"

When the elder heard this, his interest suddenly came.

"From a position of strength, teach them that they should behave in front of the Uchiha." Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was still respectful, but the words he spoke were full of pride and uninhibitedness.

"Since the Uchiha is the number one wealthy ninja clan, it is natural that he should have power equal to his strength." Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to say lightly, "You can't just count them because they're weak, right? ”

"Does the patriarch know about this?" The Elder was noncommittal.

"Maybe I know a rough idea, but the Patriarch of the Quartet has no intention of interfering in this matter."

"You are the assistant chief of the police department, and it is only right that you should come forward." Instantly, the elder nodded, "But after all, this matter is too big, so don't be too public, but it must be majestic enough!" ”

"According to the meeting agenda notice of the upper ninja class, the other upper ninja who attended this upper ninja meeting are sixty-eight people, so I plan to lead eighty-six Uchiha upper ninjas to participate in the meeting."

"Good!" Elder Instant expressed great satisfaction with Uchiha Tokumitsu's preparation and posture, "Remember, even if there is a conflict, you can't do it first, and the rest will be up to you!" ”

"Understand, what I'm best at is convincing people with reason!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu is as respectful as ever.

……

The Shangnin meeting was held as scheduled.

Thirty minutes before the meeting, sixty-eight shinobi arrived in the conference hall one after another.

However, when the participants had already arrived, no one from the police department had arrived at the venue.

This also aroused the dissatisfaction of the attendees.

"Uchiha...... It's really arrogant! ”

"Humph! Dezhi is rampant, what kind of wealthy family is such a villain, compared with Hinata! ”

"Anyway...... Didn't anyone from the Hyuga clan come to the meeting? ”

A civilian, Shinobu looked around and asked his own question.

Since the meeting notice only lists the number of ninja participants, and does not indicate the name, most of the ninjas who have not been connected in advance only know the specific participants after they arrive.

"Not only Hinata, but Shimura and Oil Girl didn't come......"

Hinata is one of Konoha's two great hitomi blood succession families, the Shimura family is the ninja who receives the most care from the police department, and the oil girl family is the ninja who lost the most people in the battle of root destruction.

The three ninjas who had conflicts with the Uchiha did not come to the meeting, which also made the ninjas present a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Qimu Shuomao sat on the top seat of the conference room, like a clay puppet, and did not say a word.

Looking up at the clock in the conference room, there were still three minutes before the official start time of the scheduled shinobi meeting.

Just as he was about to start speaking a few words to delay the time, a shinobi sitting at the window suddenly shouted, "It's here!" The Uchiha is here! ”

Originally, it was normal for the Uchiha to arrive late, but the ninja who shouted out had an unusually surprised tone.

The shinobi who were near the window also leaned over to try to see what was going on.

"So many people ......"

"Are they all shinobi?"

Seeing the heavily armed and aggressive formation of the Uchiha ninjas, even the experienced Konoha ninjas couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Except for wartime, when did Konoha Village concentrate so many upper ninjas.

What's more, it's the Uchiha clan's upper ninja!

"This is the ...... of the demonstration"

Nara Kamishinobu muttered to himself.

The participants listened to it in their ears, and their hearts were mixed.

Uchiha Tokumitsu Shi Shi Shi led five family shinobi into the upper ninja conference hall, and the other Uchiha upper ninjas carried out a guard outside the door and expelled all the unrelated people.

The participating ninjas even saw through the window that the shadows of the three who had heard the news were surrounded by six Uchiha shinobi, and they took the initiative to retreat after spraying each other.

In front of the Uchiha, even the dark part flinched......

There were also more Uchiha than attendees surrounding the conference hall......

Even though they knew that the Uchiha would not openly kill people in the village, under the gaze of the ill-intentioned Uchiha ninjas outside the door, the ninjas who participated in the meeting still couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts.

"Deguang-kun, I'm sorry for you."

Hachiki Sakumo was unconscious, and greeted Uchiha Tokumitsu indifferently.

Uchiha Tokumitsu sat down in the first row, agreed and said with a smile: "Supporting the performance of the supervision of the upper ninja class is what the police department should do, and Shuo Mao-kun is really polite." ”

"So...... This Shangnin meeting has officially begun! ”

Hagi Shuomao did not continue to be polite, took out a small hammer and knocked it on the table.

The venue was silent.

"The hearing meeting on the request of the upper ninja to perform the supervisory duties and question the malicious law enforcement crackdown of the police department is now officially opened!"

Qimu Shuomao looked around at the participants below, and they all looked worried.

"The reasons for this meeting are all indicated in the notice of the meeting, and I will not repeat them here, do you have anything to add?"

Before the meeting began, all kinds of strange words came out one after another, and the ninjas of the clan shrank their heads like quails at this time.

"Is there no one to add to the agenda for this meeting?"

Sakumo Hachiki asked again.

The venue remained silent.

"Then, please ask the Assistant Chief of the Police Department, Uchiha Tokumitsu Shinobu to respond and answer this inquiry!"

Sakushige Hachiki knocked on the table again.

The body of the participants couldn't help but tremble.

Uchiha Tokumitsu got up and walked slowly to the front desk.

Everywhere they looked, the participants all bowed their heads and lowered their eyes.

"The Ministry of Police was set up at the suggestion of the second generation of Senjuma-sama and is run by the Uchiha clan, so I'm sure you all know a lot about this period of history."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said unhurriedly.

"Since its establishment, the police department headed by Uchiha has regarded 'loyalty to duty, strict self-discipline, defense of justice, and defense of Konoha' as the most fundamental work policy, and has not been afraid of difficulties and sacrifices, and has firmly fulfilled its due duties."

"But!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone became extremely cold.

"The administration of justice by the Police Department will inevitably offend a few people who are plotting against evil, and this is the most defame of the righteous acts of the Police Department by these people! Destroy the glorious image of the police department! ”

Shinobu looked at each other at the meeting, not knowing what to say.

According to this, the police department is glorious and flawless, but the person who raised the objection is guilty!

Even Hokage-sama probably wouldn't be able to say such brazen words!

It's as ridiculous as Danzou claiming to be a pacifist!

Even if he was cringe, Uchiha Tokumitsu's words made the ninjas participating in the meeting involuntarily show dissatisfaction.

Since we have already brought so many people to the field, why not say a few vague words to deal with it, and then we will just push the boat down, and the matter will be a hundred times lighter, isn't it beautiful?

Why be so aggressive and make everyone lose face?

At the meeting, the ninja exchanged glances with each other, and the dissatisfaction became more and more intense.

"Of course, in the process of performing official duties in the police department, there have been some inappropriate behaviors when dealing with some diehards, which has caused a certain negative impact among the villagers, but it is all a last resort to better maintain the law and order of Konoha, please also understand."

Uchiha Tokumitsu changed his tone again, and his tone and phrasing softened.

The ninjas at the meeting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it beyond the scope of the department's authority and responsibility for the police department to set up a ninja school and register ninjas?"

A maruko-headed Nara Kamishinobu stood up.

"The establishment of the Police Preparatory School is approved by Hokage-sama and is open to admission, so if you have any objections to this, please ask Hokage-sama about the reason."

Uchiha Tokumi glanced at Nara Kamishinobi, who was acting as a bird, and said slowly.

"Of course, even if I don't say it, I believe everyone knows the reason why the reform of the Ministry of Police has been fully recognized......

"So, what about the Uchiha who directly received the title of Shinobi through the Ministry of Police? Is this also the responsibility of the police department? ”

The other Shinobi stood up and asked aloud.

"First of all, ninjas are not invited to dinner, let alone the daimyo's nobles painting and tasting tea so calmly and politely, ninjas are going to kill people......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu Moriran said: "In this case, then from the point of view of strength, it is no problem for the Uchiha clan to awaken the Sangotama Blood Inheritance Limit to be rated as a Shangnin, if you feel that there is a problem, you can challenge the Sangotama Police Department Shangnin, I believe that if you can defeat it, Hokage-sama will not mind giving the challenger a name of Shangnin." ”

The upper ninjas stopped talking.

Talking about laws and regulations with you, what kind of strength problem! Who doesn't know that the strength of the Uchiha of the three hooks is equivalent to the upper ninja level! But what about the power and meaning behind the shinobi?

Shangnin is not only strength, but also represents the right to speak!

"Besides, the reason why the Uchiha clan obtained such rights was in exchange for the great feats of blood and fire in the battlefields of the great powers of Mistin, Iwain, and Sandhide, and the final battle of Dingding was the root of the high-level Shimura Danzo who killed the ninja of the same village in World War I and destroyed the root of the tiger, such a record, everyone here should be familiar with it!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said proudly again, "There are eighty-six Uchiha shinobi who arrived at the venue today, and this is only a part of the Uchiha Kamitsu ninja!" May I ask you if you think that with the strength of the Uchiha clan, you can match such power! ”

The undisguised words of Sen Ran and the blood that leaked from them made the upper ninjas tremble.

Although everyone knows the cause of Tuan Zang's death, it does not mean that this sentence can be brought to the table to talk about things. Uchiha Tokumitsu's words almost made it clear that the power of the police department was obtained by killing Danzo to force the Hokage to back down.

"That's all I have to say, whoever agrees with it, who opposes it!"

"If you have any objections, please be bold and raise them!"
