Uchiha Tokumitsu desperately needs to find an opponent to test his strength.

After being strengthened by the "Sacred Particles", Uchiha Tokumitsu's confidence swelled like the amount of chakra that was growing every day.

Moreover, the existence and operation of the Shogunate needed to be stimulated by continuous war, the ninja army of the Uchiha clan also needed to be tempered by war, the expansion of the United Company needed external force to deter the local snakes, and even the Nangagawa Stock Exchange needed constant news of victory as a good thing to stimulate the wealthy merchants to buy bonds frantically.

Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu is also worried that once the [Uchiha Clan-Seiyi Shogunate-United Company], a super-giant monopoly organization that has been forcibly pinched together by others, loses its enemies and goals, it will quickly degenerate and degenerate.

But the small fight can no longer satisfy the Uchiha Tokumitsu's desire to conquer, and he desperately needs a more deterrent target.

Fog is a perfect target.

The shogunate had the confidence of the glorious victory during the conquest war period for the Kirikure, and no matter what the purpose of the war, the ninja army under his command had full confidence; Among the other great powers in the ninja world, Yun Yin is stubbornly resisting the invasion of Wu Yin in the northern region of the Land of Thunder; In terms of Iwakuin, as early as the First Ninja World War, the second-generation Tsuchikage None and the Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon of the Fog Hidden Generation died together, and this old enemy Iwakuin has never had a chance to revenge; And Sha Yin can't fight with the fog Yin's eight poles.

Therefore, it is the safest choice to list the fog as the primary target of the Shogunate.

As for the armistice agreement with Wuyin, the arms trade, and the like, it was just a money exchange for a show, and naturally it was not counted.

In fact, the above reasons are just the reasons that Uchiha Tokumitsu used to persuade the family and the various families of the United Company to send troops to the ninja clan to start a war.

His true purpose is still that old and immortal ancestor!

Madara Uchiha!

That person who used to be famous and suppressed the ninja world!

Whether it's the artifact flame fan that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Uchiha clan in his hand, or the reincarnation eye that I don't know if he has cultivated, or the six-tailed human pillar power that still belongs to the fog hidden, Uchiha Tokumitsu wants it all!

Besides, since Madara Uchiha, who is old but not dead and dead but not stiff, can control the real three generations of Mizukage and thus control the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, then the three columns of the Expedition under his Uchiha Tokhimitsu are even more powerful Fog Hidden Ninja clans, and with their support, it is natural for him to become the master of the Fog Hidden Ninja Village!

Therefore, Atsushi Konoe, the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Mizuno, who had been under house arrest for nearly ten days, was finally released and taken to Fuba City to meet Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"General Deguang, I came to visit me under the entrustment of my country's great name, and I wish you prosperity in martial arts!"

As soon as they met, Atsushi Konoe immediately bowed and respectfully bowed to Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was sitting high in the lobby of the shogunate's official residence.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was still thinking about finding fault with etiquette, but when he looked at this posture, he knew that this idea had failed.

"The daimyo has nothing to do, so what?"

But Uchiha Tokumitsu still didn't intend to give a good face, so he stared coldly at Atsushi Konoe and said.

"It's just congratulations, and there's nothing else to think about."

Konoe Atsuji's face turned pale under the pressure of Uchiha Tokumitsu, but he still managed to straighten up and bow to Uchiha Tokumitsu: "His Royal Highness the Daimyo is overjoyed to learn that Tokumitsu-sama has been appointed by the Governor of the Fire Country, Konoha Military, and specially sent him to visit and congratulate him, so as to enhance the traditional friendship between you and me!" ”

What a traditional friendship!

Uchiha Tokumitsu also felt speechless.

“…… How happy is the daimyo of your country? ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't know what to say, so a rather nonsensical sentence popped out of his mouth.

"This, this ......"

When the sharp-toothed Konoe Atsushi heard this, his brain, which was still running rapidly, immediately froze, and he didn't know how to reply.

He can't just say that the daimyo was actually furious when he learned about Uchiha Tokumitsu's title!

"My title is the Great General of Zhengyi, could it be that there are unrighteous ministers under His Royal Highness the Daimyo who need to conquer and ambush?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said maliciously, "I guess...... It should be that the fog is very uneasy for His Royal Highness the Daimyo, right? ”

"This ...... Under the command of Lord Mizukage, Kirigakure defeated Yungain in a row, and his military achievements were outstanding, and His Royal Highness the Daimyo was naturally very satisfied with Kirigakure......"

Atsushi Konoe broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and stammered back.

“…… Really? ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu leaned back in his chair and continued to examine Atsushi Konoe, whose expression was becoming increasingly nervous.

The halls of the mansion fell silent.

Konoe's mind went blank again, and cold sweat continued to drip down his forehead, quickly wetting the stone bricks on the ground.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tokumitsu held his identity and did not use illusion to bewitch this ordinary person, otherwise Atsushi Konoe would have lost his mind a long time ago.

"I appreciate the kindness of the daimyo......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu finally broke the silence.

Atsushi Konoe, whose body was already crumbling, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was about to faint.

"However, I have heard of some unfriendly acts against the justices of the peace in the Daimyo territory......

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words once again knocked Atsushi Konoe, who had just come to his senses, into the abyss: "It is said that the county guards in various places do not recognize the status of the lifelong honorary shinobi issued by the headquarters, and they also forcibly levy high taxes? ”

"This, this ......"

Atsushi Konoe forced himself to quickly turn his brain: "Lord Tokumitsu, this is the first time I have heard of this matter, please allow me to go back and report to His Royal Highness the Daimyo, and I will definitely give you an explanation afterwards!" ”

He didn't dare to say that nothing like this had happened, so he could only barely vaguely try to get by.

"It's okay, check ...... slowly"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said leisurely: "Be sure to check carefully, and find out!" Find out who is behind all of them and bring them to justice, regardless of their identity! ”

"Take what Tokumitsu-sama said to heart, and when I go back, I will definitely report to His Highness the Daimyo......"

Atsushi Konoe didn't dare to accept it, so he had to answer vaguely again.

"Hmm...... Very good......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care, either, "The traditional friendship between the shogunate and the daimyo is indestructible, and the conspiracy of those with ill intentions is destined to fail." ”

"Yes, yes~"

Atsushi Konoe nodded in a hurry.

After several rounds of coercion and persecution, his mind was all confused, and before he knew it, he had been surrounded by Uchiha Tokumitsu.

But this is also normal, even an ordinary shinobi is trembling in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, not to mention that he is just a pampered nobleman.

"By the way, there's one more thing......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu slapped the table as if he had suddenly thought of something, causing the tense Konoe Atsushi to tremble.

"But it's just a trivial matter, I don't think His Royal Highness the Daimyo will refuse, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't say anything, just looked at the trembling Konoe Atsushi with a smile.

“…… Please also ask Lord Tokumitsu to solve your doubts, dare to ask what is the specific matter? ”

Once again, Atsushi Konoe's sanity prevailed, and he reluctantly said, "As long as it's not too ...... His Royal Highness the Daimyo will also open the door for His Excellency the Shogun. ”

"It's really just a small thing."

Uchiha Tokumitsu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip elegantly: "The headquarters plans to hold a military exercise on the western coast in ten days, and at that time it is necessary to block the sea area, and in order to prevent accidental injury, the board is not allowed to enter the sea!" ”

Atsushi Konoe was stunned by this request.

The western seas are the main transportation route for the Fog Hidden Ninja Army to expedition to the Land of Thunder!

All the soldiers and supplies set sail through the western coastal ports to deliver supplies to the front line!

Blockading the sea sounds like a trivial matter, but who knows how long the Uchiha Tokumitsu will blockade?

Who would dare to bet that Uchiha Tokumitsu would just play for a day or two and then go back?

If the supply line is cut off once a while, then the Fog Hidden Expeditionary Force of the Ninja Continent will fall into the point of being isolated and helpless!

"I want to ...... With this simple request, His Royal Highness the Daimyo probably won't refuse me......"

Uchiha Tokumitsu picked up the teacup again and motioned for a send-off.

……

The confused Atsushi Konoe didn't know how he had been sent back to the embassy district.

But after he came to his senses, there was only one slang word in his mind that had spread all over Konoha -

"The Heart of the Uchiha - Everyone knows it!"
