Chapter 152: Special Border Trade
After being mercilessly taunted by Uchiha Tokumitsu, the patriarch Uchiha slipped away with a grumbling face.
Although after Uchiha Tokumitsu's explanation, the Uchiha Quartet also felt that it made sense, but he still couldn't help but complain to his entourage Shangshinobi.
"No matter what, I'm the head of the Uchiha clan, and Tokumitsu doesn't give me face!"
The attendants are all from the Uchiha direct faction, but at this time, they don't know what the two are talking about, so they just look at each other, and they don't know what to say.
Under the death gaze of the patriarch, the chief of the guard had to answer stiffly: "What the patriarch of the Quartet said is true, but Deguangjun has been independent since he was a child, and it is understandable that he has a reckless temperament, and I hope that the adults will not worry about him......"
Originally, the subordinates did not echo it at the first time, and the Uchiha Quartet already felt that his face could not be hung up, and the words of the chief of the guard, which seemed to be consolation, but actually added fuel to the fire, made him even more angry.
Okay! Even my chief guard is starting to be eccentric to Uchiha Tokumitsu!
However, after sulking for a while, the Uchiha Quartet gradually calmed down, "I'm not a person with a small belly, do you say something like that!" ”
The Uchiha Quartet immediately turned his face and sprayed wildly at his attendants.
The attendants have long been accustomed to the moodiness of the Uchiha Quartet and their disdain, and they only feel like a spring breeze, and they don't think so.
A few days later, the transfer document from the Hokage Building arrived at the ninja army camp in Shigeru Hachiki, and Uchiha Tokumitsu's prediction became a reality.
“…… The deputy commander of the mobile unit, Uchiha Tokumitsu Shinobu has been transferred to the commander of the Eastern Border Defense Force to control the affairs of the southeastern border of the Fire Country. ”
In the Chinese army tent of Shigeru Hachiki, Uchiha Tokumitsu read out his appointment paperwork.
"Yes, congratulations to Deguang-kun!"
Hachiki Shuomao's face was also full of smiles, "From now on, you will be the youngest party in the ninja world!" ”
"Seeing the smile, this matter is all thanks to the help of the family and the full support of Shuo Maojun."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a little reserve.
To successfully win this position, Qimu Shuomao also contributed a lot.
Not to mention anything else, just letting Uchiha Tokumitsu reorganize the border troops on his own has already given Uchiha Tokumitsu the upper hand.
Even if the rest of the village shinobi had thoughts, they had to retreat in front of the alliance of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakumo.
The significance of the commander of the border force is not limited to the standing ninja army under his control, but more importantly, the financial power and power such as task arrangement, rewards and promotions in the border area.
With the arrival of this position, it also means that Uchiha Tokumitsu has officially become a member of the top management of Konoha.
"Although the garrison commander of the border troops must be stationed outside, and there is a slight gap between him and the head of the village in terms of power, Deguangjun is young after all, and he will have the opportunity to return to the village to serve in the future."
"That's fine......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about this, he didn't have the deep-rooted central plot of the ninja village like other Konoha ninjas, compared to staying in the village for many years to tense his nerves and beware of open guns and hidden arrows, Uchiha Tokumitsu still felt comfortable in his own hands.
Moreover, it had not been long since his kaleidoscope writing wheel had been opened, and being far away from the Konoha Headquarters, which had many eyes and ears, could also allow him to ponder his cultivation matters with peace of mind; At the same time, it is also convenient to plan and deal with the three generations of Mizukage who are suspected to have been controlled by Madara Uchiha.,
As for the affairs and plans that the Uchiha clan planned to carry out in the village, Uchiha Tokumitsu only planned to hide behind the scenes.
"But there's one more thing ......"
Qimu Shuomao then handed over another paperwork.
Uchiha Tokumitsu took it and quickly swept it, and couldn't help but sigh.
This is an instrument for the re-attribution of command of mobile units.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu was transferred to the garrison commander of the border force, he automatically stepped down from the deputy commander of the mobile unit, and the commander Hagi Shuo Shigeru was the leader of the upper ninja squad, so the Hokage Building pushed the boat to classify the mobile unit as a direct unit of the upper ninja class, and no longer established the post of commander.
It seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is sinister.
In this way, it is to change the ownership of power from Hagi Sakumo to the position of the leader of the upper ninja class, and it seems that the command power remains unchanged, but if one day Hachiki Sakumo loses the position of the head of the upper ninja class, this move is an idle chess trick that can come in handy.
Naturally, Hagi Sakushige was not worried about the power of the mobile force, but because he was afraid that Uchiha Tokumitsu would have an opinion on it.
In the combat ninja of the mobile force, it mainly relies on the Uchiha Tokumitsu brought by the Uchiha Tokhimitsu as an absolute force support, without the support of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the mobile force is just a meaningless ninja army number.
"Cutting power invisibly...... It's like Hokage-sama's handiwork. ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care, just smiled and said: "It's just that he forgot that ninjas are not tools but living people with blood ties and bonds, such a superficial discord is really ridiculous and generous." ”
Qimu Shuomao also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"But...... Uchiha Kamishinobu under the command of the mobile unit, but I don't know if Tokumitsu-kun has other arrangements......"
"There is no need to transfer for the time being, let them continue to assist Shuo Maojun."
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled: "Besides, Shuo Mao-kun, you shouldn't step down from the position of the leader of the upper ninja class so soon, right?" ”
"It's not going to be ......"
Qimu Shuomao's whole person relaxed. 、
Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally doesn't have anything to worry about, after all, the Uchiha Shinobi of the mobile force will be drawn from the radical faction, and there is no need to worry about them being bribed and co-opted, so it is better to be generous and let the allies get some more benefits.
"Orochimaru will return to the village this afternoon, and I will lead my troops back to the village after I stay for a few more days......"
Qimu Shuomao thought for a moment and added: "There are many affairs in the defense area under the command of the border troops, please take care of it more often......
"Don't worry! I don't dare to talk about it, but there will be no trouble! ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu humbly accepted and responded proudly.
……
After Hachiki Shuo Shigeru also led his troops back to Konoha, half a month later, an uninvited guest came to the door with a secret letter and asked for a meeting with Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"You are the messenger of the wolfberry Yakura......"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and asked again.
"Yes, Tokumitsu-sama!" The Mist Messenger said without humility or arrogance, "This is the sixth time you have asked this question. ”
Theoretically, the border commanders of the different ninja villages bordering the defense zone will often make some contact with each other when they take up their posts, so as to enhance the mutual trust between the border troops of the two sides, and try to resolve the border conflicts and grievances between the two sides, so as to avoid the trivial conflict from turning into a war disaster as much as possible.
As a front-line commander, these are basic skills that you should know.
Before returning to Konoha, Sakumo Hachiki had shared a similar experience with Uchiha Tokumitsu.
It's just that...... This time, the content of the letter from Goji Yakura is a little strange.
"This kind of thing...... Could it be on letterhead? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked, still puzzled.
"Lord Deguang, it's just an ordinary border trade, and it's a good thing for both you and me."
The messenger of the mist is also very patient.
"What's your name?"
"In Shimoriyuki, it's a subordinate of Yakura......"
"Such a big walk...... Won't you Mizukage have an opinion on the trade volume? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.
"Lord Tokumitsu, border trade is originally a good thing for mutual exchange, so naturally I don't have to worry about Lord Mizukage."
The envoy Ri Sheng Keiyuki said in a heartfelt manner: "Besides, both the Mizuki family and the Ghost Lantern family have a part, but Lord Yakura is responsible for coming forward......
In addition to the polite greetings, the biggest request of the letter was the issue of customs trade between the two sides.
That is...... Commonly known as "smuggling".
"If I'm not mistaken, Konoha and Kigakure should still be at war, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu returned the letterhead to the table, looked at Ribu Keiyuki and said, "Is this appropriate?" ”
"Lord Deguang, the war is a matter of the village, and the border trade is a matter of both your and our affairs, so there is no need to confuse the two......
Ri Sheng Qingxing bowed down and replied: "Just like the relationship between the village and the ninja clan, everyone has their own needs, so there is no need to care too much about those side branches......
"Tsk......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also impressed by the flexibility of Kirigakure's bottom line.
In the letterhead, the materials needed were also listed one by one.
One of them is 'Fresh Beef in the Land of Grass', and it's also marked 'Ice Ninjas can be sent to help with freezing and preserving'......
The only armament-related is the 'Uchi-Potter Detonator', which is also marked with 'There is no upper limit on the number of acquisitions'......
Other than that, there are all kinds of luxuries.
"Wen Tian Wu frolic, the way to die......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart also has a plan.
"After all, this matter is very important, and I still need to discuss it with my family."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and said slowly, "But what can the fog have to offer?" ”
"Lord Tokumitsu, your trading partner is not Kirihide, but a combination of ninja clans such as Goji Orange, Ghost Lantern, and Shui Wuyue......
Lisheng Qingxing Zhengse said: "I am only a messenger below, if you are interested, you can make an appointment to discuss in detail at another time, and you can communicate with each other according to your needs." ”
If it weren't for the chakra fluctuations of Ribu Keiyuki, which was also more obvious, it would probably reach the level of mid-ninja, and Uchiha Tokumitsu would have thought that the person in front of him was a profiteer.
Uchiha Tokumitsu picked up a pen and sketched it on the letterhead, then handed it to Ribu Keiyuki.
"I can promise you that right now."
Except for the special detonation charm produced by the Uchiha clan, the other materials needed by the fog concealment were basically agreed to as long as Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that he could raise them.
"Thank you, Lord Tokumitsu, for your support!"
Riyu Keiyuki bowed deeply, then took out a text from his arms and handed it to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "This is my purchase offer, please take a look at it." “
"You're so well prepared......
Uchiha Tokumitsu took it casually, and after briefly flipping through it, he put it down, "By the way, are the Ghost Lantern Clan and the Mizuki Moon Clan planning to support Goji Yakura?" ”
Otherwise, the Ghost Lantern Clan and the Mizuki Clan are both Mizukage families, and their status in the fog is extremely prominent, and their power is even higher than that of the Uchiha, so there is really no need to pull in the Goji Yakura, a character from a small family.
And Uchiha Tokumitsu's question seems to be casual, but it is also mixed with the psychedelic effect of Yin Escape Chakra, although there is no direct control effect, but it can also make the person being cast involuntarily tell the truth.
"Humble in the lower position, don't know about it."
Lisheng Qingxing replied respectfully.
"Lord Yakura can fight you and Lord Shuomao on the battlefield without defeat, and it can be said that he is one of the most outstanding ninjas on our side, so it is normal for the ninja clan to support Lord Yakura......"
Although I know that I am a sycophant, this is really a level!
And it was said in the case of being slightly confused by illusion, and the meaning is even more extraordinary.
The smile on Tokumitsu Uchiha's face widened.
"The first batch of Grass Country beef will be ten days away! At that time, the settlement will be judged with gold first, and the subsequent trade will be adjusted! ”
"In that case, let me retire first and return to the village to report the good news to all of you!"
Li Sheng Qingxing raised his eyebrows, bowed down and said, "But I don't know how much the first batch of beef transactions is?" It is also good to prepare funds under it. ”
"Hmmm......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the quotation again, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Let's prepare 10,000 gold judgments first!" ”
"Lord Deguang is worthy of being a son of a wealthy family, and his demeanor and courage are different!"
Lisheng Qingxing laughed so much that his back molars were exposed, and he bowed again and again before saying goodbye.
When he received the messenger mission, Risheng Keiyuki never thought that this special border trade mission could be so smooth!
After the formal contact and conversation, Rishi Keiyuki felt that Uchiha Tokumitsu was unexpectedly easy to speak, which was completely different from the vicious image of the legendary Misty Hidden Child's night cry.
After Ritsu Keiyuki left, Uchiha Tokumitsu once again copied the purchase quotation of the Mist Hidden Ninja Clan and studied it carefully.
The reason why I didn't take a closer look just now was because I was afraid that I would lose my temper in front of a huge amount of money!
At this time, there was only one sentence in Uchiha Tokumitsu's mind-
"The material resources of the country of measuring grass, the joy of fogging and concealing!"
It's really dozing off, someone immediately sent a pillow!
Uchiha Tokumitsu was just preparing to fight against the opponents of the Konoha ninja clan, and Kirigakure immediately ran over to do business with him, which was simply sending money to the door!
In addition, judging from Ribu Keiyuki's words, the ninja clan of the fog seems to be dissatisfied with the contemporary Mizukage, and it is likely that they have decided to support Goji Yakura to compete for the position of the fourth generation of Mizukage.
Afterwards, Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly picked up a pen and paper and sent letters to the Uchiha Patriarch, the Grand Elder of the Momenta, and the commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force stationed in the country of Kusano, Uchiha Homon, to enlist their support.
