Chapter 249: Victory is Justice
This battle Uchiha Tokumitsu won quite hard.
If you don't use the tailed beast, there is a high probability that you will be overturned and killed by the three generations of apes by simply relying on the power of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye and Susa Nenghu.
However, he was very happy with the final result.
In the battle between the two sides, Uchiha Tokumitsu greatly consumed the physical strength and chakra of the three generations of ape flying and chakra with his powerful Susanoo, and finally consumed it so much that the chakra was overused and died of exhaustion.
If it is simply a ninjutsu competition, even if the three generations of ape flying sun slash have passed their peak and their strength has begun to decline, the number of ninjutsu they have mastered is far above that of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the skills of the ninjutsu combination are far beyond it, and it is really difficult for Uchiha Tokumitsu to win.
But fortunately, Uchiha Tokumitsu still has a big cat.
"Thank you for your hard work~Traveling again~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu gripped the fluff on Futato's neck with a smile on his face.
The tsundere's big cat was half-lying on the ground, squinting slightly, letting the Uchiha Tokumitsu scratch it, and its mouth was still making a "purr" sound.
"Lord Tokumitsu, the battlefield has been cleared......"
A squire ninja plucked up the courage to report.
"Very good......
The smile on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face faded, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is the brother who participated in the war?" ”
“…… Thirty-nine men were killed and 27 were seriously wounded, seven of whom may have to be discharged, and more than 100 were slightly wounded. ”
That's more than half of the casualties......
Uchiha Tokumitsu sighed secretly, and the cat-petting action in his hand also stopped.
Looking at the area where the ninja army battlefield is located, the white field hospital has been arranged, and the wounded ninja soldiers of various departments are queuing up for emergency treatment.
One will be a success......
Even a cold-hearted person like Uchiha Tokumitsu, who treats people like NPCs, can't help but feel sad.
"This is the heaviest loss for the family......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu walked towards the field hospital.
Everywhere they passed, all the ninjas knelt down on one knee as a sign of respect.
"Tokumitsu-kun ......"
The Uchiha Quartet, who was counting the remnants of the Naruto Army's troops, came over head-on.
"Patriarch of the Quartet, thank you for coming to support......"
A smile erupted on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face.
"In this battle 320 thieves were killed, 930 were captured, or nearly 300 were defeated and fled......"
The Uchiha Quartet's face couldn't contain the excitement, "The family has completely won!" ”
"That's a good thing."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, "Let's go see the wounded together......"
"Okay, good ......"
The Uchiha nodded repeatedly.
"Also, all the corpses are all gathered up......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said to the squire ninja: "Although there are differences in political opinions and they are resolved by force, after all, they are all from Konoha, so don't let the corpse be mistreated by the beast." ”
"Yes!"
The attendant ninja immediately took the order and went to make arrangements.
The contest of force has come to an end, so the next step is to reap the fruits of victory.
Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't mind leaving a way out for the loser, and will also point out a way out for the loser, and taking the initiative to collect the remains for them is also a limited expression of their attitude, but the premise is that they must accept their "kindness", otherwise the Uchiha's ninja knife will not show mercy.
Uchiha Tokumitsu believes that the captives of the original Hokage family can understand this, after all, the Nara patriarch is among the captives.
……
After visiting the wounded, Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered them to be stationed in Settsu Prefecture on the grounds that the wounded were too sick to be transferred.
Although the Uchiha Quartet was anxious, he also obeyed Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions and just sent someone back to the village to spread the good news.
And the first to arrive at Settsu after the war was Hattori, the chief of the guard of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
After undergoing a body search by the squire ninja and obediently accepting the chakra seal of the Uzumaki ninja, Hattori, who had been tossed around for a while, was able to enter the room to meet Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"Tokumitsu-sama, the chief of the guard of His Royal Highness the Daimyo, Heiji Hattori, came to congratulate the victory on the orders of His Highness......"
The meeting place was the residence of the Settsu Shogun, and when the Uchiha Tokumitsu ninja army arrived in the county seat, the Shogun abandoned the guard and fled, and it happened to be taken over by the Uchiha Tokumitsu as a temporary residence.
And Hattori Heiji, who was half-kneeling on the ground, said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Daimyo hopes that the country can continue to maintain the good cooperative relationship with Konoha that has always been good, and even more hope that the Uchiha clan can obtain a status that matches the strength......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was on the top seat, and the patriarch Uchiha sat on one side, and the two of them stared at the daimyo messenger who was pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost.
And a ninja at that!
"You're a ninja too, aren't you?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored Hattori's words, and instead said to himself, "I remember that there was an agreement that the daimyo must disband those demagogic guardian shinobi, so ...... What about your identity? ”
"Lord Tokumitsu...... It is true that the guardian ninja has all been disbanded, and the corresponding organization has also been banned, and our guards are all from the wild ninja clan of the Fire Country, and they have always had dealings with ninjas such as earth spiders, and they have never had bad deeds, and they have all been registered with the Konoha Ministry of Internal Affairs......"
"Yes......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised an eyebrow, feeling a little interesting.
Registering with the Ministry of Internal Affairs is indeed a good way, after all, the Hokage Ichigo and the Daimyo were all the way before, and it is also a good way to use the identity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a cover with the help of semi-intelligence organization.
"His Royal Highness the Daimyo is quite thoughtful."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was noncommittal, "So, what about the status that the daimyo said matched the strength?" ”
"Sarutobi was defeated and died, but Konoha can't live without Hokage, and His Royal Highness the Daimyo is also willing to support General Tokumitsu to become the fourth Hokage!"
Hattori Heiji hurriedly said the conditions of the daimyo: "And the annual military spending will increase by an additional 30 billion, which will be mobilized by Lord Tokumitsu himself!" ”
"As long as it is for the good of the Fire Country, His Royal Highness the Daimyo will absolutely support all the actions of Lord Tokumitsu!"
“…… Why does Konoha necessarily need the Hokage? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled and said, "Is the Hokage essential?" ”
"Ahh
Hattori Heiji was stunned.
"Besides, didn't the daimyo also approve the candidates for the fourth generation? How? Don't plan to continue to select four generations based on the waiting list? ”
In Hattori's ears, Uchiha Tokumitsu's laughter was like a life-seeking spell, making his forehead unable to suppress a cold sweat.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a killer......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu teased, "I just think it's not good that the daimyo is so changeable." ”
Hattori opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
"What is Konoha is Konoha, and what is a daimyo is a daimyo ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued, "It's a rule, a rule that even a daimyo can't offend. ”
"I understand ...... below"
Hattori's body shook even more.
"As for Konoha internal affairs, the daimyo should not interfere in the future."
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to suppress: "Otherwise, everyone's face will not look good after the ninja army goes to Luo, isn't it?" ”
“…… Remember the general's orders! ”
Hattori nodded busily.
"There are also strange things like status that matches strength, and I don't like it either."
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to exert pressure: "According to this logic, if there are other ninja clans who are stronger than the Uchiha clan in the future, then His Highness the Daimyo will support someone else to replace the Uchiha...... Am I right? ”
When Hattori Heiji heard this, he almost fainted in fright.
"The solidity of mountains and rivers is not in the power of virtue......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu gently continued to speak loudly: "The Uchiha clan has subdued the ape who wanted to plot chaos with their virtue and prestige, and I hope that the daimyo will understand this......"
Martial arts are also virtues, and Tokumitsu is still virtue, so there is nothing wrong with what Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
Although Heiji Hattori thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu's words were purely putting gold on his face, he couldn't raise the idea of refuting it.
The winner is always right, and that's the reality of reality.
The daimyo didn't dare to try whether Uchiha Tokumitsu really dared to risk the world's disapproval and abolish Shangluo.
"What Lord Tokumitsu said is extremely true!"
Hattori Heiji hurriedly praised: "Konoha's independence will be respected as always, but please accept the daimyo's heart for Lord Tokumitsu......"
As for the various discordant remarks made during the previous discussion of this Konoha Civil War in the Daimyo's Mansion, they naturally drifted away with the wind with the victory of Uchiha Tokumitsu.
"So be it...... I accepted the military expenditure of 30 billion taels in the name of the shogunate, after all, although the expedition to the Land of Water and the crusade against Yunyin Village were all things that greatly increased the prestige of the country, the military expenditure was too great. ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded with satisfaction: "The daimyo is so virtuous, the land of fire will surely prosper!" ”
After all, with Uchiha Tokumitsu's age, the daimyo nobles will have a long time to deal with him in the future!
I don't know if it will really be thriving, the only thing that is clear is that from now on, even if the Uchiha Tokumitsu put the nobles on the boiler and steamed them alive, the daimyo didn't dare to say a word!
After sending off the daimyo envoy Hattori Heiji, the attendant ninja entered the interior and reported that the Nara patriarch among the prisoners of war had asked for an appointment.
The reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu stayed in Settsu was to solve the follow-up political problems on the spot, so he naturally met with him.
"Lord Tokumitsu, the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly jointly implore you to succeed to the position of the fourth Hokage!"
After the Nara patriarch was brought in, he immediately saluted and said.
"The position of the Hokage is the first thing to be virtuous, otherwise such a position of power is controlled by one person, and there will be disasters in the future......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was still very gentle: "So the candidates for the next generation of Hokage still need to be carefully considered, if there is really no suitable candidate, we can even try to rule the ninja village by the Konoha ninja......"
"Lord Tokumitsu's virtue touches the heavens and the earth, and the succession of the four generations is the ...... Konoha is expected."
The Nara patriarch thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu was going to go to the routine of "three invitations and three concessions", so he hurriedly persuaded him.
For the three tribes of Pigs, Deer and Butterflies, it is the right and wise choice to always stand on the side of the winner, as for justice or injustice, it doesn't matter, because the winner will declare what justice is.
"I'm not telling you what I'm saying, and don't think about it."
Uchiha Tokumitsu Masashi said: "Ninja Village is the ninja village of all Konoha ninjas, and the traditions of the village should also be respected, I think the ninja clan meeting and the upper ninja class meeting need to be discussed carefully." ”
"If you really can't get results, then it's not unacceptable for all ethnic groups to rule Konoha together."
"At the end of the day, it's all for Konoha!"
"What Lord Tokumitsu said is extremely true, but it is superficial......"
The Nara patriarch was also thundered by Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, so he had no choice but to resign and leave, returning to the prisoner of war camp to continue discussing with the others.
"Tokumitsu-kun ......"
The Uchiha Quartet, who had been listening quietly for a long time, asked, "Do you really have no intention of being the Hokage?" Isn't that a cheap bargain for others? ”
"It's just a powder keg with a hot ass......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly: "What the family wants is not a temporary position of power, but stability that will not be shaken for thousands of years. ”
Moreover, Konoha's various stubborn diseases have been deeply rooted, and if they are not broken, they will not be able to get rid of them.
But how can Uchiha Tokumitsu have such idle thoughts, he only thinks about borrowing chickens and eggs through backdoor listing.
Obviously, the Uchiha Quartet had other ideas, but he couldn't refute it on the spot.
……
Later, the attendant ninja entered to report that Mito Menyan asked to see him.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was kind and received him without any trouble.
"Deguangjun, we have been defeated, and it is only right to accept the disposition of the victor."
After Mito Menyan entered, he didn't talk nonsense, so he confessed his own request: "But Konoha can't stand too much tossing, so please don't make unnecessary killings." ”
The implication is to completely throw in the towel and admit defeat, as long as you don't kill people or don't kill too many people, then everything is easy to talk about.
This is also very much in line with Uchiha Tokumitsu's stereotype of the Konoha establishment.
"Mr. Mitomon is serious, Konoha is the Konoha of all Konoha ninjas, and the Uchiha clan, as a member of Konoha, will naturally maintain Ko......noha from the bottom of their hearts."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said as if he were saying a tongue twister: "It's just that there will be some new changes in the new era, as long as you accept it, the future days will be better and better." ”
"Got it......"
Mito Menyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can throw yourself in the towel, it means that you don't have to be completely killed.
Even if the original Hokage family is liquidated, as long as the people are still there, there is still hope for the future.
Even if this generation can't compete with Uchiha Tokumitsu, the next generation or even the next generation may still have some chances.
As long as the family survives, then everything is easy to say.
"After returning to the village, I plan to hold a ninja meeting, what does Mitomon-san think?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to ask.
"If Tokumitsu-sama needs it, then I will initiate a call for a ninja meeting."
Mito Menyan's role switching is also very silky, and Uchiha Tokumitsu is even more satisfied.
"Then I'm going to bother Mr. Mitomon......"
The smile on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face was about to overflow, "By the way, the accommodation conditions in the temporary camp are not good, so Mr. Mitomon will rest here tonight......"
After sending Mito Menyan away, Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Uchiha Quartet, "See? It's called professionalism! ”
"As long as they can maintain their current power and support the appropriate spokesperson, the Uchiha clan doesn't have to stand up and be blamed by anyone at all!"
Let's go have a meal first, and then come back for the second chapter
