"Omen of troubled times, bad manners and bad ......"

The Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Fire.

The daimyo sat in the palace with a gloomy face.

The ministers and nobles hung their heads and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Originally, they thought that the Uchiha Tokumitsu of their country's Konoha Ninja Village was arrogant enough, but they didn't expect that the Sand Hidden Village on the border was even more arrogant.

Although this happened in the Land of Wind, which is still a bit far away from the Land of Fire, the impact behind this incident is extremely shocking.

Especially in the case of the existence of an unusually high-flying and domineering Uchiha Tokumitsu in the Fire Country, the nobles immediately shuddered at the thought that the Eitokuko Shogunate was likely to follow suit.

“…… Tsunate-hime's proposal for the Sand Hidden Expedition did not receive the support of the Konoha Senate. ”

The head of the Shinobu clan, Hattori Heiji, saw that the daimyo's face softened slightly, and he plucked up his courage and said, "However, according to the contact person of the Senju clan, General Tokumitsu has already sent an envoy to make an appointment with Tsunade Hime to discuss this matter. ”

"Konoha ......"

The daimyo felt a great headache, so he covered his face with the folding fan in his hand and rubbed his temples a few times.

"Will the Doge's Mansion send troops?"

The daimyo put down the folding fan and asked with a gloomy face: "Konoha's military power is in the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu, if he agrees to conquer the sand hide, Konoha's so-called Senate and House of Representatives should no longer stop it, right?" ”

“…… The two houses of Konoha did not obstruct it, but expressed no interest in participating in the internal affairs of the wind and the wind. ”

Hattori Heiji whispered.

"Blocking" and "not interested" are two different attitudes.

The proposal to "block" the conquest of the Sand Hidden shows that they are opposed to war; But if it's just "not interested", then the attitude of the Konoha ninja clan is just that it doesn't matter to themselves, even if the rest of the village wants to participate in the war, it doesn't matter, just don't get involved with them anyway.

Moreover, for the Konoha ninja who expressed "no interest" in participating in the war, there was actually an opportunity to raise their desire to participate in the war through some benefit transfer.

Heiji Hattori raised his head slightly and peeked at the daimyo's expression, but in the end he didn't dare to say the suggestion to buy the Konoha ninja.

Since Uchiha Tokumitsu was promoted to the governor of Konoha and the general of the Fire Country, the appetite of the various ninja clans of Konoha has also risen, and they have crossed the Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hachiki Sakushige to contact the Konoha ninja clan, and maybe they will touch some indescribable slides.

This can't help but remind Hattori Heiji of the fallen original three generations of apes flying in the sun.

The amiable and respectful Daimyo and the amiable Konoha ninjas under his command were completely eradicated in this way, and the Daimyo lost the grip on Konoha to exert influence, resulting in the current passive situation.

The daimyo who sat high on the top was naturally extremely aggrieved.

He has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy of hundreds of millions of people who rule the country of fire, and Konoha is just a ninja village under his rule, and in the past, it was only a useful tool to use, but now this "tool" is mainly anti-guest, but it makes him, the self-considered "master", very embarrassed.

And the reason why the daimyo was anxious to extinguish the "coup d'état" led by the Sand Hidden Ninja in the Land of Wind was also because he was afraid that this kind of downward trend would spread.

"His Royal Highness the Daimyo......"

The chamberlain outside the hall trotted all the way into the hall and knelt on the ground and said, "The messenger to the land of earth has returned......

"Hurry up and call in!"

The daimyo immediately straightened up and ordered.

The sluggish spirits of the ministers and nobles also lifted up slightly.

"Your Highness!"

The envoy entered the palace and reported: "The subordinates have fulfilled their mission and have successfully persuaded the Daimyo of the Land Country and the Iwakushi Ninja Village that they have decided to send troops to the Land of the Wind to set things right!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The daimyo didn't care about etiquette, and shouted loudly: "The Daimyo of the Land of Earth is high and bright, and Iwakuin is also well aware of righteousness!" ”

"There are big countries participating in the war, I believe that the rebels in Shayin will be pacified soon!"

The daimyo's eyes were on Heiji Hattori.

For those incompetent samurai in the country, the daimyo has long since abandoned healing, and the reason why they are kept is just to control those mud legs, plus Uchiha Tokumitsu does not allow the daimyo to raise a large number of ninjas, otherwise the government army would have been abolished and the training of a new ninja army would have been abolished.

"That's about ......"

Hattori Heiji was secretly bitter in his heart, but where he dared to disobey the will of the daimyo, he had no choice but to go against his will and respond to one or two.

“…… Do you have an answer? ”

The daimyo asked again.

The Earth Spider Clan is one of the several ninja clans that live in the Land of Fire but are not included in Konoha and are also the target of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

“…… The Soil Spider Patriarch has not yet responded. ”

Hattori Heiji, who was in charge of liaison, replied stubbornly, "However, there are already some members of the Wind Demon clan who are willing to join the squire ninja. ”

"What about the other Storm Demons?"

The daimyo was very unhappy with this.

In his eyes, all the people living in the Land of Fire, whether they are nobles, commoners, or ninjas, should be his people, and it is natural that they must serve their lives under his orders, so why dare they bargain with him!

However, fortunately, the remnants of the Uchiha Tokuko Soldiers Siege Fire Temple are still there, allowing the angry Fire Country Daimyo to maintain some sanity.

"Some of the Wind Demon Clan have accepted the employment of the United Company, and they are not willing to terminate the contract for the time being......"

Hattori whispered tactfully.

To put it bluntly, some of the Wind Demon Clansmen who feel that they have found a new backer are no longer willing to accept the orders of the family elders, and choose to start a new life with their new thighs.

"Then Heijiqing is ready to send an envoy to Konoha!"

The daimyo's face was not very good, but he didn't lose his temper either, "Tokumitsu will be returning to the village soon, you have to say that he will send troops to the country of the wind!" ”

"Yes!"

Although it was a bit of a dangerous chore, since the daimyo ordered it, Hattori Heiji could only accept it.

……

When Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to Konoha, he also received special information from a secret channel.

The Kazekage envoy of Sand Hidden Village has been secretly contacting the Western Border Defense Force, requesting a secret meeting with Uchiha Tokumitsu.

“…… It's a good thing. ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it for a moment, and then agreed to the visit of the Kazekage.

The timing of the coup in the Land of the Wind came at the right time, and the Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind acting a few more plays.

But throughout, his focus is on the Land of Water and the Fog.

Especially the old ancestor who has always been in his heart.

“…… Age spots don't die, and my heart is always uneasy! ”

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent someone to inform Hachiki Sakushige and ask him to discuss political affairs in a teahouse in the Uchiha clan's land.

And while waiting for Hagi Shomo, Uchiha Tokumitsu was full of good ancestors who were old and immortal.

……

"Knock knock!"

Hachiki Sakumo knocked lightly on the shoji door, and then naturally pushed the door inside.

"Shuo Maojun, I haven't seen you for a long time~"

The Uchiha greeted with a smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, but I can't ...... it because I'm busy with government affairs."

A bright smile also appeared on Hachiki Shuomao's face.

"Please tea!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't talk nonsense, so he invited Hachiki Sakushige to take a seat.

After three cups of tea, Qimu Shuomao spoke: "Does Deguangjun plan to participate in the peaceful change of the country of wind?" ”

"It's just that the Senate needs to balance it."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "Tsunade-hime's proposal is a bit too radical, but the other ninja clans are also a little slack. ”

"The damage of the war is already great, and the ninjas in the village don't have much will to fight......

Qimu Shuomao shook his head a little helplessly: "Besides, the country of wind is too poor......"

"That's the most important reason~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu laughed and said, "If you lose, you won't make any money, and if you win, you won't make any profit, so everyone has no motivation." ”

"The same is true of the House of Representatives."

Hachiki Sagegeru shrugged his shoulders and agreed with Uchiha Tokumitsu's statement.

"The messenger of the sand should be coming to the village tomorrow."

Uchiha Tokuko said coldly, "What? See you together? ”

“…… Sand Hidden Messenger? ”

Qimu Shuomao's eyelids jumped, a little surprised.

"I have been secretly contacted through the Western Border Defense Force, and I haven't told the public about it."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said lightly.

“…… It doesn't hurt to see it. ”

Qimu Shuomao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

But what he had on his mind was something else.

The Western Frontier Defense Force was once a direct force of the shogunate under the control of Mimura Hamaki, and after Mimura Hamaki and Kime Kotobe returned to the village to take charge of the mission center at the cost of relinquishing military power, the Western Frontier Army also fell under the control of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Although Mimura Hamaki brought back some of his cronies when he returned to the village, the Western Ninja Army was still a direct force that he had been in control of for a long time, but now that there was such important information, no one in the Western Frontier Army took the initiative to inform his old boss......

I don't know if I should sigh that people come too quickly, or if I feel that Uchiha Tokumitsu's control over the ninja army is too deep.

"That's fine, this matter should not be leaked for the time being."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words disrupted Hachiki Sakumo's thoughts, "Why don't you wait for us to see how Sunagakure's attitude is before making the next step?" ”

"That's fine......

Sakumo Hachiki retracted his thoughts and nodded, agreeing.

Today's Konoha no longer has the existence of the Hokage in the past, and the Senate and the House of Representatives have become a place for various families and the ninja to quarrel, and Hagi Sakumo feels that it is still necessary for him to participate in the various things that Uchiha Tokumitsu tosses, otherwise, the Uchiha Tokumitsu, who is in charge of the military alone, does not know how much he can do.

Moreover, it is clear that in the coming decades, as long as the Uchiha Tokumitsu does not produce any moths, there will be no one else who will be able to sit in the "temporarily vacant" Hokage position in the future.

Tsunade Ji can't do it, Orochimaru can't do it, even if he can't do it.

Although the system of the Senate and the House of Representatives is bloated and cumbersome, and the decision-making efficiency is relatively low, it has been widely accepted by the ninja clans and the upper ninja people so far, and there is only one core reason, that is, no one can ask others to be sent to death in the name of "righteousness".

This alone has already made the ninjas and the upper ninjas completely give up the idea of restoring the Hokage in their hearts.

"Co-governance of Konoha ......"

Qimu Shuomao groaned.

"Co-governance is a republic, and a republic is co-prosperity."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
