As the curtain came down on the first Konoha Ninja Senate Consultative Conference, the original solemn and tense atmosphere in the village also dissipated.

The ninjas of the North District Police Station of the Police Department, who had been evacuated to the Eastern Police Station, were also released from combat readiness and returned to the Department to continue their policing duties.

At the Ninja Senate Consultative Conference, the Hokage clan was justifiably given the authority to form the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Uchiha clan and Hachiki Sakushige were able to strengthen their control over the border defense forces, especially the Uchiha Tokumitsu's future special operations will not be labeled as "walking alone".

The declining little ninjas of the Reform Society were also very satisfied, and the Ninja Senate Consultative Conference gave them a chance to talk to the Hao clan on an equal footing.

Moreover, some of the more nimble ninja leaders have also discovered a way to make money according to the decision-making method of the conference - that is, to resell votes!

In this regard, Qimu Shuomao also found out.

Because the food of some ninja leaders who were eager to cash in their hands was too ugly, just a day after the meeting, all kinds of gossip about reselling votes flew all over the sky, and immediately reached the ears of Qimu Shuomao.

On the second day of the creation of the Military Command Department, Qimu Shuomao invited four border army commanders to discuss military affairs together.

The so-called Military Command Department, since it has just been established, the specific powers and responsibilities of the jurisdiction and civilian staff have not yet been determined, so Hagi Sakumo has only vacated a vacant room near the upper ninja class.

"Although the Ninja Senate Consultative Conference is good, but now the negative news is flying all over the sky, and it is really difficult to deal with."

Before the other three arrived, Sakushige Hachiki complained to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"So what?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little unimpressed.

"It's normal that the newborn ninja council will definitely bring a new impact to the village; But we should also approach it with an inclusive attitude, as it can be a catalyst for us to move forward. ”

In fact, at the beginning, Uchiha Tokumitsu expected a similar corruption to occur, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"That being said......"

Qimu Shuomao sighed, also a little helpless.

"Shuo Maojun, this also shows from the side that everyone's adaptability to new things is actually very strong......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's defense seemed very pale and far-fetched, and he felt that it was a little illogical.

"In the future, I think the pace of reform can be a little bigger!"

Qimu Shuomao was also speechless.

“…… So what should be done to prevent such behavior? ”

After a while, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru continued to ask.

"Then set up a full-time anti-corruption agency."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said seemingly casually.

"For example...... What about the Independent Commission Against Corruption? Doesn't that sound like a clean name? ”

“…… Not so good. ”

Qimu Shuomao held back for a while before replying.

"It's okay,"

"So...... How should this Independent Commission Against Corruption operate? ”

Sakumo Hachiki couldn't help but ask again.

"Well...... this"

Asked about this, Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little confused.

In the previous life, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was subordinate to the local administrator, but if this institution was also set up in Konoha, wouldn't it be a big killer for the three generations?

Besides, Uchiha Tokumitsu knows his own family affairs. Although the people of the police department were quite resistant to the "fees" in the early days of the reform of the police department, and they seemed to be all models of integrity, in fact, it did not take long for them to collect money under the leadership of the directors of various departments.

If it becomes such an institution, wouldn't it become a sharp blade in the hands of political enemies to stab the Uchiha clan?

"I haven't thought about this yet, but in general, an institution like the Independent Commission Against Corruption must be independent of power, not controlled by everyone in the village, and be able to conduct anti-corruption investigations based on clues on its own......

Uchiha Tokumitsu used his brain and said a few perfunctory words.

"You have a point, but I'm afraid that such an ad hoc body will be very resistant......"

"Moreover, with such great power and unregulated power, it will inevitably become another more hidden place of corruption......

Uchiha Tokumitsu was noncommittal.

After a while, Uchiha Homon, Mimura Hamaki, and Sarufei Shinnosuke arrived at the office of the chief of the military command department.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the behest of Hokage-sama, the Ministry of Military Affairs has now been officially established by a vote of the Ninja Senate Consultative Conference!"

Qimu Shuomao said straight to the point: "The content of the work of the headquarters is to coordinate the personnel and combat exploits of the various border defense units......

"The Eastern Border Defense Force will report back to the Military Command Department within three days of the details of all the personnel of the headquarters!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was the first to express support for the work of Sakushige Hagi.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Uchiha Homon and Mimura Hamaki immediately agreed.

"There is a slight change in the structure of the Northern Border Defense Force, and the military affairs of the headquarters will be reported to the Military Command Department within five days......"

Sarufei Shinnosuke thought about it for a moment and gave a slightly different answer from the other three.

Since he took over as commander of the Northern Border Defense Force at the end of the Great Ninja War, the ninja ninjas in the original formation were replaced by the ninja army of the Sarufei clan soon after.

Some of the ninjas who returned to the village may choose to retire due to the recurrence of their injuries, and some choose to stay in the village because they are the old members of Hachiki Shuomao; However, the Ape Fei Ninja Army was not all included in the roster of the Ninja Army, so the personnel situation of the Northern Border Defense Force was still a confused account.

"That's it!"

Hagi didn't care about the difference in time, and soon moved on to another topic: "Are there any military operations being planned by the ministries?" Is there anything that needs the support of the Military Command Department? ”

Although the daimyo of each country signed a peace agreement and the like, declaring the state of war between them; But for Ninja Village, that's what the daimyo proclamation has to do with me.

Especially after the Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops to capture the Temple of Fire and forced the daimyo to bow his head, the authority of the daimyo nobles has been greatly reduced.

"Not yet."

Mimura Hamaki was the first to answer.

Ever since the sand has subsided, the area of Kawanokuni where he is stationed has been peaceful.

And the country of the river, which is so poor that it clangs, can also be seen in the country of wind, which is trapped in the desert, and usually doesn't even bother to go there for rebellion and the black market.

"The Northwest Frontier Defense Force intends to enter the eastern region of the Land of Rain and establish a defense identification zone. In addition, no support is required at this time. ”

Uchiha Homon replied.

The so-called "Defense Identification Zone" is to go to the territory of the Land of Rain and forcibly occupy a piece of territory, expel the original ninja organization in the area, and occupy the mission share of the region.

This term, which sounds very positive, was also coined by Uchiha Tokumitsu in combination with the memories of his previous life.

However, at present, the strength of the rain ninja village has been greatly reduced, and after the repeated wars, there is no one in ten rain ninja posts, and the weak Sanshoyu Hanzo can't control so much territory, so he has to turn a blind eye and acquiesce to the invasion of the Uchiha Fire Gate.

"There are no other plans in the department."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke replied a little helplessly.

Although he also wanted to do something, but the northern border defense force under his command was facing Yun Yin, a ninja village in power of the martial arts faction, and it would be good to be able to withstand Yun Yin's pressure, so don't think about enterprising.

"The Eastern Border Defense Force will continue to advance the Fog Hidden Crusade with the troops directly under the shogunate, so as to uphold justice and set things right."

Uchiha Tokumitsu Masasei said: "At the same time, in order to strengthen the strength of the ninja army participating in the war, the headquarters will launch the Eastern Development Plan!" ”

"Eastern Development ......"

Qimu Shuomao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

Mimura Hamaki and Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but look sideways.

"After all, the eight eastern counties of the Fire Nation are still directly under the Fire Nation, so they can't be treated like a small buffer zone country!"

Hachiki Sakumo thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to seize the power of the eastern region of the Fire Country, so he hurriedly stopped: "Besides, Shinobi Village is in charge of military affairs, and the daimyo is in power, this is the foundation of the system of one village and one country, and it can't be destroyed like this." ”

“…… What do I want to govern the eastern region? ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned for a moment and reacted, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"The large-scale development of the east is just a pretense, and the purpose of the headquarters is to clean up the eight eastern counties and sweep away the black market forces in the region, so as to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes in the eastern region."

Uchiha Tokumitsu explained: "The reason why it is named the Eastern Development Plan is because of strategic deception, and secondly, it can also provide a safe and peaceful business environment for the eastern region through public security clearance!" ”

To put it bluntly, after the attack on Kakuto, Uchiha Tokumitsu has secretly sent people to find out the distribution of black market strongholds and the force of guards in the eastern region, and now intends to start implementing an indiscriminate retaliation plan.

In addition to sweeping the black market, Uchiha Tokumitsu also plans to take over all the trade routes between the eastern region and the country of grass, so as to amass money to raise ninja troops to conquer Kigakure.

In addition, the so-called "Eastern Development Plan" will also select suitable candidates from among the nobles of the eight eastern prefectures to cooperate with the Uchiha clan, and provide targeted support.

Uchiha Tokumitsu prefers to go through economic bondage and politics to direct rule, which is too high-profile

"This ...... All right. ”

Hachiki Sakumo hesitated for a while, thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with Uchiha Tokumitsu's move, so he put it aside, and the topic turned to the battle arrangement that everyone was most concerned about: "After all, Kirigakure is one of the five major ninja villages, can it compete with the ninja forces of the eastern part and the shogunate?" ”

"It's not a big problem, anyway, it's not a large-scale ninja battle with the fog."

Uchiha Tokumitsu replied lightly: "The three tribes of the Fog Hidden are all familiar with the geography and hydrology of the Land of Water, and if they take a small-scale raid by the elite ninja army, they will not be able to block all the borders with the current power of the Fog Hide. ”

"What if the fog faintly launches a full-scale war and the ninja army attacks in a big way?"

Sarufei Shinnosuke suddenly asked, "Isn't it ...... that the village has finally restored peace and allowed everyone to recuperate, so easily provoked war?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige's brows furrowed.

"This is the will of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a cold face: "Not only the Uchiha clan, not only the three clans of the Mistin Clan, but also the Uzumaki, Kurama, Shiranui, Nohara and other families will participate in the war!" ”

"If you swing a butcher's knife at a person from the ninja clan in the same village, you will be punished! No matter what his identity is, even if it is the shadow of a village, he will be punished severely! ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze was unusually cold.

"If no one in the ninja world stands up for justice, then it's up to me to help!"

When Sarutobi Shinnosuke heard this, he also bowed down and apologized.

"In addition, there will also be a mercenary army of Yunin who has crossed the border to the east in the near future, passing through the jurisdiction of the Northern Border Defense Force, and has also asked Ape Fei to command all of them to allow passage."

Uchiha Homon added.

"Rain Shinobi?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's brows furrowed.

For the Hokage family, the Rain Country battlefield is definitely a sad place.

In the various battlefields of the Second Ninja World War, the most serious battle loss of the Konoha ninja army was the battle with the rain ninja; In addition, most of the troops sent by the Land of Rain are ninjas of the Hokage line, so Sarutobi Shinnosuke naturally doesn't have much affection for Rain Ninja.

"It's just a matter of hiring rain ninja to fight, so there's no need to make such a fuss."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.

"Although the rain ninja is one of the best existences in the small country ninja village, if they want to attack the fog hide, they should still be unable to do it......"

Hachiki Shuomao didn't care much, but just questioned Yunin's combat effectiveness.

"Their water battles are still much stronger than the Konoha ninjas, and it's just right for them to be used in the water country."

Uchiha Tokumitsu explained, "What's more, hiring a rain shinobi is too cheap! Even if you die in battle, it won't cost much to pay a pension! ”

After Qimu Shuomao heard this, he was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kusa Ninja Village had lost too much in the Battle of Iwakure, Uchiha Tokumitsu would have planned to recruit the Kusa Shinobi to fight again.

As for combat effectiveness or something, there is the elite ninja finale of the Uchiha clan, plus the familiar three Fog Hidden Clans lead the way to participate in the battle, and it is not a problem to fight against the Fog Hidden Ninja Army with a similar number of ordinary people.

However, the strength of the ninja army of the three clans of the fog and hidden tribe is limited after all, except for the three self-formed expeditionary columns, only a few ninjas of the three clans are assigned to other ninja armies as guides.

The role of the hired rain ninja is mainly used to supplement the shortcomings of the shogunate's direct troops in underwater combat, after all, let the Uchiha ninja who is good at fire escape dive and fight...... It's better to just kill them.

What's more, although Uchiha Tokumitsu is ready to attack the black market, he will not refuse to come to the black market ninjas who are willing to participate in the war, and hiring rain ninjas can be regarded as accumulating a little mercenary management experience first.

"Eastern Frontier Army, Shogunate Troops, and Mercenaries ......"

Hachiki Sakumo counted the chips in Uchiha Tokumitsu's hand and found that his strength was really enough to launch the Fog Hidden Expedition.

"In addition, the Nanhechuan Stock Exchange also has a special eastern development bond that is going to be listed, with an annual return of 8%, if you are interested, you may as well buy some."

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled, and Sakumo Hagi and others were all impressed.
