The three major ninja clans of the fog were quickly defeated under the blows of the three generations of Mizukage, causing a shock again in Konoha and even in the ninja world.

Especially Konoha, where the ninja gathers, is extremely concerned about this.

The Hokage's dominance and the autonomy of the ninja have always been a problem that has plagued Konoha.

But at least in the internal struggle of Konoha, everyone still maintains a basic face on the surface, and no matter how much they fight to the death in private, they will not be able to fight on a large scale in the village, which is a bottom-line problem.

Even if Danzo crossed the line and tried to ambush him, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige would lead their troops to force them after annihilating them, and would not openly lead their troops into the village.

This is also based on the balance of terror maintained under the premise of a relative balance of power between the two sides.

However, the atmosphere in Konoha has also become particularly strange with the spread of the Fog Hidden Change, especially at a critical juncture when the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan has become more tense due to the Death Forest Raid incident, and no one wants to be the next sufferer of the Ninja Village Incident.

As a result, the balance of limited mutual trust and terror began to break down.

The smell of gunpowder inside the village is getting stronger and stronger.

No one knows if a chance incident in the village will lead to a misfire, which will turn into a civil war that is out of control.

And what pushed the tension to a new level was the Hyuga clan who recalled all the family children from the ninja school.

Immediately, the oil girl, Inuzuka and other ninja tribes did the same, and also asked the clansmen to withdraw from school.

The originally thriving ninja school was immediately deserted in just a few days.

However, the three generations of apes still did not speak about the Death Forest raid and the ongoing standoff in the village, and the two advisors did not attempt to communicate with the Uchiha clan to ease tensions.

As a result, the Ministry of Police announced the temporary closure of the North District Police Station, which is close to the Hokage Building and other power agencies, and deployed personnel to the Eastern District Police Station on the outskirts of the Uzumaki Clan.

The Hokage clan then sent a ninja force wearing blue vests to take over the defense of the North Sector, further intensifying the conflict.

The only one who can mediate in the middle of the flag Mu Shuo Mao happened to be entrusted to go out to inspect the borders of various places, and the upper ninja class had no leader, and there was nothing to do.

And the fundamental reason behind this series of conflicts is that under the stimulus of the Fog Hidden Change, the small trust between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan has quickly eroded.

……

Late at night, in a secret room in the Hyuga clan's land.

The ninja leaders who have gathered here secretly are discussing important matters.

"Ghost lights, no moon in the water, plus a kazuya night, the water shadow is really a big deal......"

Patriarch Hyuga carefully flipped through the latest dynamic information of the fog concealment, and felt shudder while sighing.

The Ghost Lantern Clan and the Shui Wuyue Clan are both Misty Water Shadow Clans, but now they have been wiped out...... The so-called rabbit death and fox sorrow, things hurt their kind, everyone is a ninja, and naturally there is unspeakable grief.

"This is equivalent to the destruction of the three powerful clans of Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga overnight......"

In front of the Hyuga patriarch, Patriarch Inuzuka said words that made everyone present shudder.

"Although the three tribes of the Fog Hidden Clan have not been completely wiped out, they are almost there, and now even the remnants of the Remnant Clan have become retainers of Uchiha Tokumitsu......"

The patriarch of the Moonlight family was also a little anxious.

"Aren't the Moonlight Clan on the side of Hokage-sama? What are you doing here! ”

Another ninja leader said dissatisfiedly.

"Position to position, identity to identity! How can this be mixed up! ”

The Moonlight Patriarch replied with a cold snort.

"Although those little bunnies in the family have been brainwashed by the will of fire! But it doesn't mean that the moonshine clan is all in the same league with them! ”

"I said it earlier~ It turns out that you can't control your clansmen anymore~"

The big-mouthed Inuzuka patriarch continued to smug in words that offended people.

The Moonlight Patriarch's face turned pale, and he did not continue to speak.

"Hey! Kurama Old Patriarch! What do the Uchiha want to do? You're too good to wear the same pants with the Uchiha, so you should know a little bit about it, right? ”

Patriarch Inuzuka then trash talk at the Kurama patriarch who was sitting next to him and had not spoken: "Uchiha doesn't really plan to start a civil war, right?" ”

"Unbred dog thief!"

The Kurama patriarch replied unceremoniously, "Why don't you ask the Uchiha if you're so brave!" ”

"If I can enter the Uchiha Clan, I still need to ask you?!"

The Inuzuka patriarch didn't care too much about the attitude of the Kurama patriarch, and said with a snort: "Besides, the contract psychic beast of the Uchiha clan is the ninja cat clan, and it is born with us!" ”

"Well, the purpose of our secret gathering today is not to quarrel."

After the atmosphere had been almost set off by the Inuzuka patriarch, the Hinata patriarch slowly spoke to persuade peace: "Discussing a measure to deal with the tense situation is what we need to do......"

He immediately handed the information in his hand to the oil girl matriarch sitting in the dark corner behind him.

The other ninja leaders only then realized that the oil girl clan had actually arrived!

You must know that the oil girl clan is usually taciturn and has no sense of existence, and because of its ninjutsu characteristics, they like to be alone when performing tasks, so the other ninjas in the village don't know much about them.

And what everyone is most familiar with is that the most powerful deputy by the side of the original root group is a ninja from the oil girl clan.

Therefore, when everyone found out about the existence of the oil matriarch, they immediately felt that the situation was a little weird.

The Moonlight clan is in favor of the Hokage camp, the Kurama clan is the iron alliance of the Uchiha family, and the oil girl clan was once the head horse of Danzo......

Now they were together in a secret meeting that should have been kept very discreet......

What exactly is this operation?

The ninja leaders, who had nothing to do with other forces, began to communicate with each other with their eyes, but they were also confused.

"We are all members of Konoha and the village, both prosperous and ......"

After observing the expressions of the ninja leaders for a while, Hyuga Patriarch continued slowly: "The situation in the village now is indeed as everyone said, it is very bad. ”

The crowd was silent.

The oil matriarch then passed the information on to another ninja chief.

"This piece of information was sent back by a clan member who served in the Eastern Border Defense Force, and he served as the head of the Vortex Country camp under the Tokuko shogunate, so the credibility of the information content is very high."

The Hyuga patriarch immediately told the source of the information to enhance the credibility of his words, "At present, the remnants of the three clans of the Fog Hide have been reorganized into three columns, and they will soon launch an expedition against the Fog Hide. ”

"With the power of the three clans, they have all been suppressed by the water shadow, how can the remnants of the mere remnants fight against the fog now?"

The patriarch of Inuzuka expressed his confusion at the right time.

Patriarch Hyuga gave him a thumbs up in his heart, and then replied:

"Unrestricted Privateer Warrant!"

"The expedition that General Tokuguang is preparing to launch against the Fog Hide, or the Land of Water, will be an attack and raid in an unrestricted form!"

"In this way, wouldn't the three tribes of the Fog Yin Clan, who were already familiar with the hydrological situation of the major archipelagos of the Water Country, be like entering a no-man's land......"

The ninja leaders exchanged glances and secretly spoke.

The Land of Water is an archipelago country, and it is difficult to defend itself without as many dangerous places as land countries, so if you add the original fog hidden ninja who is familiar with the terrain and hydrology to lead the way......

"And maybe there are other shadows in the three clans that haven't been swept away by the Mizukage......"

Patriarch Hyuga added.

"In addition, General Tokumitsu is also preparing to issue a recruitment order to the ninja world to provide logistics for all ninjas who volunteer to participate in the Kigakure Expedition, at the cost of only the right of first refusal to buy the loot."

"There's a lot to be done here......"

The patriarch of Inuzuka subconsciously responded.

Then he noticed the strange gazes of the crowd, so he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

The Hyuga patriarch ignored the nonsense Inuzuka patriarch and said to himself: "With the help of the identity of the general, the village has nominally lost control of the Tokuko shogunate, and perhaps this is the reason why this crisis has not been resolved for a long time......"

"You said yes, Kurama Patriarch?"

Hinata Patriarch's gaze fell on the Kurama Patriarch beside him.

"Although the Uchiha clan is arrogant, it is not rude, and since the rise of General Tokumitsu, he has also taken care of the ninja clan."

The Kurama patriarch did not answer directly, but began to boast about the achievements of Uchiha Tokumitsu: "Moreover, the righteousness of the conquest of the Fog Hidden comes from the joint recommendation of the three wealthy clans of the Fog Hidden Village, which is expected by everyone and the desire of the people!" ”

"Don't forget, the name of the general of Zhengyi was jointly elected by the three clans!"

"But now the three Fog Hidden Clans have all become vassals of Uchiha Tokumitsu......"

A ninja leader in the corner muttered.

"So what?"

The Kurama patriarch replied proudly: "General Tokumitsu fulfilled the obligations of his allies, walked away from the whale waves, and went to the dangerous place in person, so that he rescued the remnants of the three clans. ”

"General Tokumitsu's kindness, our ninja clan naturally knows it......"

The Hyuga patriarch had to play the round in person again.

Otherwise, the limelight of the secret meeting was stolen by the absent Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"The purpose of our gathering today is to solve the crisis in the village......"

The Hyuga patriarch had to directly state his purpose: "The Hokage clan is powerful, the Uchiha clan is strong, the Senju clan is not a director, and the ninja class and the innovation society are leaderless......"

"At such a critical juncture, it is necessary for us and other ninja clans to come forward to calm the situation and save the peace, so as to avoid the tragedy of the Kirihide Civil War in Konoha!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately awe-struck.

"So, I'm going to convene a meeting to restart the ninja clan, gather the strength of the ninja clan, and calm the confrontation incident!"

Patriarch Hinata's gaze swept over the people present one by one, "I don't know if you are willing to support me!" ”

"We are naturally willing to participate in the grand event!"

Patriarch Inuzuka was the first to stand up.

The other ninja patriarchs hesitated for a moment, and after calculating the benefits and disadvantages, they also spoke out in agreement.

For these small and medium-sized ninja clans, once a civil war breaks out in Konoha, even if they don't take sides, in the eyes of both sides of the conflict, they will take another side, no matter which side of the Hokage or Uchiha wins, it will be them who will suffer their interests.

Since the Hyuga clan is willing to take the lead in organizing everyone, they naturally don't mind helping out.

"That couldn't be better......"

Patriarch Hyuga also breathed a sigh of relief.

After laying the groundwork for so long, his plan finally did not fail.

"Kurama Patriarch, what do you think?"

The eyes of the Hyuga patriarch returned to the silent Kurama patriarch.

"Peace is always good......

The Kurama patriarch hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement: "I think the Uchiha clan will also be willing to settle this confrontation incident at the ninja meeting......"

"As Konoha ninjas, the peace and stability of the village is our long-cherished wish."

Patriarch Hyuga also nodded his head in agreement with the Kurama patriarch's knowledge, "Since everyone agrees, why don't we compile a proclamation now, and all the patriarchs here sign it together, and jointly issue our call to persuade both sides of the confrontation to remain calm, how about it?" ”

"Yes!"

"Good!"

The ninja leaders nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the Konoha Ninja Clan's common statement, written by the most talented Hyuga patriarch and jointly reviewed by the leaders of the ninja clan, was freshly released.

Then sign each of them with their names.

This statement also represents the beginning of the unity of another ninja force in the Konoha ninja clan in addition to the Hokage clan and the Uchiha clan.

Although they still have their own ghosts, it is always a perfect start!

Patriarch Hyuga was satisfied.

"Kurama Patriarch, why don't you send someone to the Tokumitsu shogunate headquarters and present this proclamation to General Tokumitsu?"

Patriarch Hinata said to the Kurama patriarch.

“…… OK! ”

The Kurama patriarch hesitated, but agreed.

The big thing has been decided, and everyone chatted casually for a while, and then they each resigned and left.

It was an extraordinary night!

After seeing off the ninja leaders, the Hyuga patriarch looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and his heart was dark!

He then returned to another secret room in the Hyuga clan's land.

After waiting for a while, the Inuzuka patriarch and the oil maiden patriarch returned to the secret room.

"Patriarch Hinata!"

Patriarch Inuzuka saluted Patriarch Hinata with a solemn expression.

The taciturn oil maiden patriarch also saluted the Hinata patriarch.

The Hyuga patriarch also stood up and saluted the two patriarchs in return.

In this matter, there was no mustard between the three of them who had quarreled with each other during another secret meeting before.

"After today, the ninja meeting is bound to rise again! Here's our chance! ”

Patriarch Hyuga said solemnly.

"This is also our common wish!"

Patriarch Inuzuka answered.

"The ideal neutral and objective Konoha third party!"

The oil matriarch added.

"I believe that the Moonlight Patriarch and the Kurama Patriarch will soon spread the news of the secret meeting to their respective forces, and we only need to prepare for the ninja clan meeting next!"

Patriarch Hinata smiled.

The oil maiden patriarch and the inuzuka patriarch nodded in unison.

……

With the defeat of the Fog Hidden Ninja Alliance, the remnants of the three Fog Hidden Clans fled and returned to the Tokuko Shogunate, and the original cross-border trade in full swing came to an end in this anticlimactic way.

Although the United Aquatic Products Company had a lot of income in the early stage, and even after the business was suspended, the overall budget estimate would not be a loss, but the storage base that had been invested and built in the country of waves in the early stage was abandoned, and such a large piece of input was suddenly missing, no matter who would feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, after settling down and returning to the Three Ninja Clan, Uchiha Tokumitsu was ready to convene a meeting of the shareholders of the United Fisheries Company and let them join the Fog Hidden Expedition.

At this time, a joint letter from the major ninja clans of Konoha arrived at the shogunate station, inviting Uchiha Tokumitsu to return to Konoha and organize a ninja meeting with the Hyuga clan to jointly deal with the confrontation in the village.

"That's great!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu flicked the letterhead and snorted coldly, "Just take this opportunity to put the monkey in a cage!" ”

The future of Konoha is the separation of powers or authoritarian rule? What is the position of the shoguns, Hokage, ninjas, and daimyos? Let's look at this volume~
