After the three generations of Mizukage and Goji Yakura retreated, the Uchiha Tokumitsu and the three of them gathered the ninja army and returned to the camp after confirming that the Mist Hidden Ninja Army had left by boat.

According to Konoha's previous practice, the ninja army requisitioned from the village after the end of the war must arrange for a rotation or even disband the ninja army headquarters under the jurisdiction of the combat commander as soon as possible, and hand over all legal affairs to the garrison battalion or border defense force.

However, the area where Hagi Sakumo is currently stationed is relatively special, the eastern border defense force that was originally responsible for regional defense has been beaten to the point of collapse under the attack of the Fog Hidden Ninja Army, and the original ally Vortex Country has long since disappeared, so Hagi Sakumo did not intend to follow this rule, but began to make defense arrangements everywhere.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu has always been too lazy to take care of these chores, he is still pulled by the busy Hachiki Sakumo to share part of the work.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was responsible for the rebuilding of the most important eastern border defense forces.

As a member of Konoha's first ninja army that was completely wiped out by the command, when facing the notorious new commander of Uchiha Tokumitsu, none of the members of the original eastern defense force dared to disobey the slightest point in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

As a ninja army of nearly 1,000 people, only more than 300 ninjas survived and returned to the eastern defense force after the battle with the fog hide, and the original command structure has been completely destroyed.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about the original duties of these remnants, and just pulled out ninjas with special ninjutsu talents such as perception ninjas and medical ninjas, and simply and rudely organized the original personnel into three detachments.

Subsequently, the ninja ninjas who were relatively close to the Uchiha clan were drawn from the ninja coalition brought by Hachiki Shuomao and organized into two detachments, temporarily gathering half of the border troops, and reluctantly taking over the defense work.

As for the vacant establishments, Uchiha Tokumitsu intends to go back and digest them within the family and among the various clans.

Even if the families are not manpowered, they can recruit graduates from the police preparatory school, and they can also use the service experience of the border force as an internship resume for new recruits in the police department.

In this way, even if the eastern border defense force is replaced by an outsider as the commander in the future, it will not be able to turn over any storm in the face of the absolute advantage that most of the leaders of the ninja army under his command are cronies of the Uchiha clan.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Uchiha Tokumitsu painted an Uchiha fan logo in the eastern region of the Fire Country on the ninja map.

In addition to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force stationed in the Grass Country, the Eastern Border Defense Force is also about to become the bag of the Uchiha clan.

In addition, the Northern Border Defense Force is the starting force that Hachiki Sakumo once commanded, and it has always been obedient, although recently the son of the Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, led his troops north to join the ministry to support, but in the short term, this ninja army can't get rid of the influence of Hachiki Sakumo.

The western border defense force stationed in the country of Kawanoku is Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige's comrades-in-arms against the Sand Hidden period, and the attitude of the two commanders is also relatively ambiguous, even if there is any trouble in Konoha in the future, even if they can't lead their troops to help, they can maintain a state of standing still and waiting for the village to win.

Counting it all up, the four major border defense forces of Konoha Ninja Village are all under the control of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige, either light or dark.

According to the system of one country and one village established by the first Hokage Senju Pillar, except for a few scattered ninjas, most of the ninjas have been placed under the jurisdiction of the ninja village, and the funds for the development of the ninja village are provided by the daimyo of the country where the ninja village is located. However, the ninjas do not produce and only rely on tasks to get paid to make ends meet.

However, although the gratuity income of the task is a lot, all the material props that the ninja needs to bring in the mission need to bring themselves, especially the B-level and above tasks involving ninja battles, although the money in hand after a task is relatively rich, after spending money to treat injuries, repair and replenish ninja equipment, and purchase cultivation resources, most of the task gratuity is spent.

However, you can't save money in this area, otherwise the injury will heal too slowly and delay the next mission, and if you don't buy forbearance equipment or cultivation resources, it will weaken your ability to survive in the mission.

This is how ninjas passively join the team that constantly involutes, until one day they die in a mission or retire from the book due to injury.

And the ninjas who have been eliminated or even lying flat in this endless involution, that is, the senior ninja and the elderly who have the largest base among the registered ninjas in the major ninja villages, a large number of tasks entrusted by the daimyo and nobles, such as catching cats and dogs, clearing out bandits, etc., are not difficult but extremely tedious, and they are tailor-made for them, so that these ninjas who have extraordinary power will not be impoverished and choose to rob their homes and become traitorous ninjas.

In this way, the border troops allocated by the village and used as a standing ninja army are indeed a very good place for some relatively mediocre ninjas.

At least in peacetime, it's a perfect iron rice bowl.

"Tokumitsu-sama......"

An Uchiha ninja walked in from outside the Chinese army's tent, bowed down and said, "The Shinobi you want to see has arrived ......."

"Let him in."

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, and put away the ninja map on the stage.

A middle-aged man with an iron pot on his back, dressed in rags but with a resolute face, walked into the tent.

"Commanded by Tokumitsu, Shimoshinomaru Hoshikosuke was ordered to report for duty!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at him for a moment.

Although the rank is only the lower ninja, it can be seen from the standing posture, chakra fluctuations, etc., that Marushi Kosuke is considered a strong man even among the upper ninjas.

After all, it is a character who personally teaches the water escape ninjutsu between the second generation of the Thousand Hands, and it will not be an ordinary idle person.

"Mr. Kosuke......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly spoke, "I have adjusted your position separately, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Commander Tokumitsu, I swore to Lord Kajima that I would only be a shinobi for the rest of my life, so I really didn't dare to accept the order ......"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to promote you to the rank of ninja, you're still a ninja!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said quietly.

"Please Command Deguang."

Kosuke Maruki is still that calm appearance.

"I plan to appoint Ling as a shinobi training instructor, and I will be full-time in the training affairs of the border troops."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "In this way, you don't have to work hard, but you can also allow the shinobi to grow quickly, so that they will not make mistakes that should not be made in simple tasks and die...... So, what do you think? ”

"Obey ......"

After thinking for a moment, Marushi Kosuke bowed to the Uchiha and said that he had accepted the appointment.

"As for your rank, if you are willing to move up to the ninja level, you can tell me, and I believe that Shuo Mao-kun also welcomes you to become a member of the upper ninja people."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said again: "But everything I will do is based on your personal will, and I will not force you to change what you think and do...... If there are no other objections, you can go down first......"

"Under the Farewell ......"

Marushi Kosuke also stopped dragging mud and water, and left immediately after saluting.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's transfer of the original personnel of the border force is not limited to Marushi Kosuke alone.

However, all ninjas with outstanding strength and close contacts with the Hokage family were identified as unstable by Uchiha Tokumitsu, and were transferred from management positions for various reasons to a newly created idle position to retire.

While it may weaken the remnants of the Eastern Frontier Defenses in the short term, it will also maintain the Uchiha's future control over the ninja army as much as possible.

The recent weakening of combat effectiveness will also be improved when the Uchiha ninja and the ninja of the pro-clan are integrated into the Eastern Border Defense Force.

After taking care of the affairs of the ninja army, Uchiha Tokumitsu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the representatives of the ninja alliance took the initiative to come to the door again.

……

"The war hasn't officially ended yet, so you're so concerned about the white strip now?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and asked, "Besides, it's an agreement signed between the village and everyone, why are you asking me about this?" ”

The representatives of the ninja clan who came to the big tent of the Chinese army who came to Uchiha Tokumitsu in a team included representatives of small and medium-sized ninjas such as Inushige, Tsukiko, Yamabuki, and Toga, and in order to meet Uchiha Tokumitsu smoothly, they also pulled a younger brother of Hinata Shuhiro to drag him.

"Lord Tokumitsu, please allow me to tell ......"

The representative of the Moonlight Clan stood up and saluted and said, "The fog of this battle has receded, do you think the war is over?" ”

"It's an interesting topic......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's body leaned back in the chair and said with some playfulness, "And if I'm not mistaken, the final battle announcement should have been issued by the Hokage, right?" ”

"That's true, it's just that when the official end of the war is related to the payment of the white slip signed by our ninja before the battle......

The representative of the Moonlight Clan whispered, "It would be a good thing if we could end the state of war with the Fog Hidden early and pay the white slip, right......?"

“…… Why did you come to me? ”

After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly asked, "You know, Shuomao-kun is the commander of the ninja army!" ”

The purpose of these ninja representatives is also very simple, it is nothing more than to promote the village level to confirm that the war with the fog is over, so as to pay the white slip signed by the Hokage Building before the war in exchange for the family ninjas in the hands of each ninja clan in advance.

Several ninja representatives looked at each other a few times, and after eye contact, they unanimously agreed that the representatives of the Moonlight family would continue to speak.

"Lord Tokumitsu...... You should know that we also followed the example of the Uchiha clan and discovered the war bond......"

The representative of the Moonlight family stubbornly said: "It's just that the interest we promised to pay is a little higher......

"How much?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu came in interest.

"Generally 30 to 40 percent ......"

"It's not high!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately lost interest.

The Uchiha clan used the credit of the first blood in the ninja world to succeed the credit of the wealthy ninja clan as the evidence of the annual interest rate of the war bonds reached two percent, and these small and medium-sized ninjas only gave three to forty percent, which was not very high.

"Just like this...... Your war proceeds may not cover the interest payments on your bonds. ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu had already taken this issue into account when formulating the annual interest rate of war bonds, and the 20% yield set was also more in line with the general borrowing interest rate in the ninja world.

However, Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

The white slip that the ninjas got had already been raised by 20%, and paying a little more interest was just throwing the profits snatched from the Hokage to the bond buyers, so they wouldn't be so panicked.

"This ......"

The representative of the Moonlight family began to sweat on his forehead.

"Don't rush, talk slowly......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu held his chin in his left hand and looked at several ninja representatives with interest, "I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush ...... yet"

“…… Lord Deguang, we have also issued additional bonds! ”

The representative of the Inuzuka family gritted his teeth and took the initiative to interject.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned for a moment, and his hand holding his chin was also lowered, "...... How many bonds have you overissued? ”

Originally, the purpose of issuing this excess bond to the patriarch Uchiha Quartet was to trap the Nara clan, who had a more flexible brain, but now even the small and medium-sized ninja clan has fallen into it.

"Twice as ......"

This is the Yabuki family, a little-known little ninja clan, and it's not a small game.

"Triple ......"

The Toga family and the Moonlight family can only be said to be courageous.

"Five-fold ......"

The one with the most excess issuance is actually the Inuzuka family with thick eyebrows and big eyes who seem to be kind!

Even Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but look sideways.

In fact, Uchiha Tokumitsu underestimated the appeal of "financial innovation tools" among ninja people who lack financial resources.

In addition to the regular task income, although the small and medium-sized ninjas in Konoha also have some industries, their lives are better than those of civilian ninjas, after all, the ninja clan also has to fund the cultivation of family ninjas and support the injured and disabled, etc., and some of the secret techniques inherited by the ninja clan cost a lot in practice, so life has always been tight.

Bonds, a poison wrapped in honey, are self-evidently attractive to the ninjas.

Especially in the absence of financial awareness, it is normal for the impulse to overdo it.

"If it is overissued by five times, even if all the white slips in the village are exchanged, it will be enough to pay the principal of the bond, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the representative of the Inuzuka family, "What did you think in the first place?" ”

The representative of the Inuzuka family hesitated for a while, but couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't bother to ask.

Asking back and forth is nothing more than wealth touching people's hearts.

But since these ninjas have this kind of request, he can't save it.

It's just that the help of the Uchiha clan won't be so cheap, so I don't know if these ninjas are willing to cut their meat.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze at several ninja representatives suddenly became kind, like an old farmer visiting the leek seedlings in his garden.

How do you feel about a new book cover?
