Chapter 179: The Debate of Righteousness and Profit and Wen Tian's Martial Arts
The so-called privateer permission order is naturally a secret decree implemented on the route from the Fire Country to the Water Country in the Eastern Seas, in order to attack the trading fleets of other noble merchants and protect the interests of the Uchiha clan and the Mist Ninja clan.
Of course, the privateer license is not a blind plunder, and it will be implemented in conjunction with the pass flag jointly issued by the Uchiha clan and the Mist Hidden Ninja clan.
In short, any ship that does not have a flag of passage permit is unprotected and can attack and plunder at will, and ports controlled by the Uchiha or Kirin ninja can provide supplies and loot sales for these privateers.
If you want to get the pass permit flag, you naturally need to pay a lot of money, so that you can not only get a certain amount of capital income, but also increase the trade cost of other aristocratic merchants, so as to make the smuggled goods more "cost-effective".
In addition, the Uchiha Tokumitsu also communicated with the Uchiha Tokumitsu about the battle plan of Kamirakura or overthrowing the Mizukage, saying that if necessary, they also planned to hire the Uchiha ninja army to participate in the civil war of the Kirigakure, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu pushed the boat to express his support for all the actions of his allies.
It's like someone sending a pillow if you want to fall asleep!
Uchiha Tokumitsu originally thought that he would build a fleet and prepare to attack the fog after seizing the power of Konoha, but he didn't expect that now the Ghost Lantern Clan and the Shui Wuyue Clan would take the initiative to send the knife to him!
It's just wonderful!
In the next few days, Uchiha Tokumitsu's mood has been very good, which makes the ninjas under his command feel a little surprised when they see it.
"Peace!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to his subordinates, "The most precious thing in the ninja world is peace!" Now that peace has come, shouldn't we rejoice in it? β
When his subordinates heard this, they laughed dryly twice and stopped replying.
Sure enough, Lord Tokumitsu is worthy of being a general, and ordinary ninjas really can't say these words!
β¦β¦
Just as everything was ready, the Border Guards lifted the blockade of the ports, and the first privateers were deployed, Sakushige Hachiki, who had been appointed by the Hokage and the Daimyo as Peace Patrol Ambassadors, arrived at Fuba Castle, the headquarters of the Tokuko shogunate.
The two haven't seen each other for a while, and they have seen each other very happily.
After some pleasantries, I cut into the topic.
"Tokumitsu-kun, I came this time at the request of Hokage-sama to urge the border troops to revoke the border blockade ......"
After a moment of hesitation, Sakushige Hagi threw out the theme of his visit.
"In addition to the necessary patrol detachments, the blockade units of the border defense units have been withdrawn."
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied with a smile: "Peace is hard-won, and we will naturally cherish ......"
Hachiki Sakushige didn't say exactly what he meant, and Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind going around in circles with official clichΓ©s.
ββ¦β¦ The village already knows. β
After hesitating for a moment, Qimu Shuomao took the initiative to make his words clear: "You and the privateer troops of the Wuyin Organization, the village has already obtained relevant information......
"Really?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu wasn't surprised.
After all, the first batch of privateer troops were composed of family ninjas drawn from various family-affiliated ninja clans, and it was not surprising that the news had leaked.
Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu's original intention was not entirely for the sake of sea plunder, but out of strategic deterrence, to prevent others from participating in the trade of the Water Country as much as possible, and it would not be a bad thing for the news to leak.
"What? Could it be that Shuo Maojun intends to stop this? β
Looking at the appearance of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru who wanted to speak and stopped, Uchiha Tokumitsu asked rhetorically.
"It's not that it is stopped, but that privateering is always unjustifiable......",
Qimu Shuomao's tone was a little erratic.
He naturally understood why Uchiha Tokumitsu had come up with such a disgraceful secret decree, and he also knew how it would affect the smuggling business after the resumption of peaceful customs clearance with the Land of Water.
But in his mind, or in the eyes of most ninja who abide by the tenets, plundering, especially semi-official plundering, is not a glorious thing.
"Righteousness?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little surprised.
"What is righteousness for a ninja?"
Without waiting for Hagi Sakushige to answer, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued, "For a group with combat power far beyond the mundane, what should be called righteousness? β
Sakumo was silent.
He didn't know how to answer.
In fact, the reason why he came to the Tokumitsu shogunate at the first stop was also because the Hokage clan and the daimyo nobles continued to run on the grounds of "righteousness", so he had to accept the appointment and go to various places to urge the withdrawal of troops and restore peace.
Now that the Eastern Border Defense Force had withdrawn from the blockade zone, he was not sure to persuade Uchiha Tokumitsu to give up privateering.
Besides, even the ninjas of the Innovation Society, especially the senior ninjas, have gained a lot of benefits from the logistics and transportation of the smuggling trade, and if they really give up, I'm afraid that their subordinates will also complain.
"Shuo Mao-kun, do you think that for ninjas, is righteousness or profit important?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.
Qimu Shuomao shook his head, unable to answer.
If it were in the past, he would definitely choose "righteousness" without hesitation.
But now that he is one of the high-level leaders of the village, there is an organization like the Innovation Society under his command, coupled with the various theories instilled by Uchiha Tokumitsu intentionally or unintentionally before, the complex environment has also made his thinking change to a certain extent, and the bottom line has become relatively flexible.
"Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said slowly, "The daimyo nobles are high up and fed all day long, but they enjoy glory and wealth in the world; Ninjas work hard for that little commission, but they have to gamble with their lives...... Is this righteousness? β
"This is not ...... reasonable"
Although he felt that his brain was now in a state of mush, he instinctively replied.
"Yes! This doesn't make sense! β
Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately answered, "The goal of the Innovation Society is not only Konoha Innovation, but also the Ninja Realm Innovation!" β
"And those seemingly vulgar interests are what motivate us to unite our allies and drive change! Are you right? Shuo Maojun~"
"Makes sense......"
Under the high-intensity and high-density logical crit, at this time, Hachiki Shuomao could no longer remember his initial topic and purpose.
Uchiha Tokumitsu said in a deep tone: "The times have changed, if those remnants of the old era are not willing to take the initiative to change, let them sleep under the Yellow Spring Kudanzaka!" β
"Samurai, priests, monks, shrine maidens...... Everything in the old era has been shattered under the bombardment of ninjutsu, but after colluding with the daimyo's nobles, they can continue to enjoy special treatment that is higher than that of ninjas! β
"It's not fair!"
"The ninja world shouldn't be like this, ninjas shouldn't be like this!"
"The master of the ninja world should also be a ninja!"
Under the bombardment of Uchiha Tokumitsu's series of words, Hachiki Sakushige was speechless.
The Uchiha Tokumitsu has already shown his naked disdain for the "righteousness" advocated by the daimyo aristocracy, and has also put forward the idea that ninjas should dominate the order of the ninja world.
Although Sakumo still feels that the logic is a little inappropriate, he can't say a specific reason.
"Ninjas break the ethics and morals of the daimyo nobles, and all they lose is the shackles, but what they gain is the entire ninja world!"
With Uchiha Tokumitsu's last words, Hachiki Sakushige completely fell.
"I see......"
Sakumo exhaled, "But be careful not to overdo it." β
"I've got my own measure."
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his head and replied with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ It is said that the daimyo has plans to reduce military spending, but I wonder what Tokumitsu-kun thinks? β
Before leaving, Sakumo Hagi revealed a piece of information.
"While the dawn of peace has emerged, the danger of war remains."
Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered for a moment and then asked rhetorically, "At this time, is the reduction of armaments in preparation for saving funds as compensation for defeat?" β
"Deguang-kun, what will you do?"
Sakumo Hagi continued to ask.
"Regardless of what the village and the daimyo think, the Tokumitsu shogunate and the Homon shogunate will continue to expand their armaments."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said his thoughts: "If someone else saves money, I will garrison soldiers, and other people's money will be my money!" β
Qimu Shuomao was speechless.
"The ninja world is so cruel, isn't it~"
β¦β¦
After Hagi Sakushige left, Uchiha Tokumitsu's face immediately became gloomy.
Behind the appointment of Sakushige Hagi as the so-called ambassador of peace inspection, it is clear that someone deliberately used him as a gunman!
Moreover, it was not only the daimyo nobles who united, but even the Hokage clan was involved!
Subsequently, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately summoned the Uchiha ninja who was in charge of intelligence.
"Is there any special information from the village lately?"
ββ¦β¦ There are no special circumstances. β
The Uchiha ninja of the Intelligence Department was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly searched in his mind and found that there was nothing special about it recently.
"Didn't the police department find anything out of the ordinary?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's face became even more ugly.
After he left the shogunate, the intelligence department and the Konoha police department under his command have maintained information exchanges, but the family did not get the information in advance about the border army of the various ministries of Hagi Shuomao, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu only learned about it through the notice of the Innovation Association.
ββ¦β¦ Not at this time. β
The Uchiha ninja's forehead began to sweat.
"Order, in the name of strengthening law and order and cleaning up spies, let the police department thoroughly investigate every corner of the village!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said coldly: "The monkeys have already colluded with the Daimyo!" Those insects are still there to whitewash the peace! β
"Yes!"
The Uchiha ninja was pardoned and immediately ordered to leave.
β¦β¦
In fact, after the Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Fire Gate were both awarded the title of general, the Uchiha people who stayed behind in Konoha also began to become more and more complacent under the halo of glory.
This is also human nature, after all, no one can always tense their nerves and be vigilant about everything around them.
It's just that the relaxation of the Uchiha clan came too quickly......
β¦β¦
"Wen Tian Wu Huan! Bring it upon yourself! β
At the behest of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the police department was like a mad dog out of the cage, turning Konoha upside down in one day, and then gathered all kinds of abnormal information that was not already noticed.
As the chief of the police department, the patriarch Uchiha Shifang suddenly felt bad, and immediately personally went to the Tokuko shogunate station with information.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu finished flipping through the intelligence documents, he felt that his blood pressure was soaring too fast to suppress.
The Forest of Death has been sealed off and forbidden to enter because it is too dangerous, the advisor elder Mito Menyan has frequently left the village, the dark department has expanded the scale of the station, the caravan from the Daimyo Mansion has continuously transported goods to the Sarufei clan, the young and strong population of the three tribes of pigs, deer and butterflies has suddenly decreased, and the Shimura clan has not had ninjas active in the village, and the Eastern District Police Station has found traces of ninja snakes many times......
There are all kinds of dynamics, and each of them can analyze the dynamics of clues, and the police department has not been aware of the abnormality, which makes Uchiha Tokumitsu the most annoyed.
"The people in the police department are still living too comfortably......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said coldly.
Under the violent emotional stimulation, his eyes couldn't help but change into a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye form.
Although the Uchiha Quartet is an elder, he can only barely maintain his posture under the pressure of the kaleidoscope's pupil power.
"Your Excellency, the personnel structure of the police department still needs to be adjusted, what do you think?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu threw the paperwork onto his desk and asked in a cold tone.
Although it is a question sentence, the tone of Uchiha Tokumitsu is unquestionable.
"Makes sense......"
As the patriarch was reprimanded so rudely by his juniors, the Uchiha Quartet also felt that he couldn't get over his face.
But it's helpless, the Uchiha clan is a clan that speaks by strength, and the ordinary three-hooked jade writing wheel eye is so unlined in front of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
"First, the police department should carry out a health and civilization campaign to eliminate the three pests in the village, and eliminate all potentially harmful species such as toads, snakes, and slugs!"
After the death of Uzumaki Mito, the relationship between the two clans, which had been reconciled through his mediation, began to fall into the cold, and became even colder after the Uchiha Tokumitsu led the Daimyo, and after Tsunade reorganized the Senju clan, the two sides broke off contact from then on.
And Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, in addition to being apprentices of the same three generations, are also the contractors of the three major psychic beast holy lands.
The methods of the three holy places of psychic beasts are extremely strange, in addition to fighting, their most common use is to use the species of the clan to conduct secret surveillance and reconnaissance.
Although it is not known if the three apprentices of the third generation of ape flying in the sun are still in the same mind as him, Uchiha Tokumitsu still decides to sweep away all possible risks.
"Got it......"
After a little thought, the Uchiha Quartet also understood Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions.
"Second, let the ninja cat clan increase the investment of the intelligence cat personnel in the village!"
After clearing the possible eyeliner of the Three Holy Lands, the next step is to need an intelligence ninja beast belonging to the Uchiha clan to infiltrate the village to replace it.
The Uchiha Quartet also had no objections.
"Third, the ninjas in the headquarters of the Ministry of Police adopt a rotation system, and regularly replace the clansmen stationed in the two shogunates!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu gritted his teeth and said, "It's only been a long time since the war stopped, and it's so lax!" If one day the monkey raised the butcher's knife, would they still be able to react! β
Although the Uchiha Quartet didn't think that the Hokage clan dared to attack the strong Uchiha clan, they still did not reject the Uchiha Tokumitsu's order.
After all, as the patriarch and chief of the police department, he didn't need to rotate out of the town shogunate.
"Fourth, all suspicious points involved in the intelligence must be clearly explored one by one, no matter what kind of resistance is encountered!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's scarlet kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes stared at the Uchiha Quartet, putting great pressure on the latter, "You must have the mentality of eliminating all hidden dangers at all costs, and be ready to go to war with the ape flying monkey at any time!" β
"Got it!"
"Understand ......"
Under the coercion of the kaleidoscope of terror, the Uchiha Quartet replied with difficulty.
Today's ash work is heavy, and tomorrow it will be double
