After meeting with the Emissaries of Iwakure and Ungakure at Midway, Uchiha Tokumitsu hurried back to Fuba City to arrange the affairs of the Land of Water, and then prepared to return to Konoha.

After Kigakure became a puppet of the shogunate, the water country that consciously presented the title of Sekihakuzun did not escape the control of the shogunate.

A large number of Shogunate ninjas were sent north to take over the defenses of the Water Country, and the Mist Ninja was sent to join the garrison for mixed formation, so as to cultivate the comradeship between the two sides while achieving the purpose of actual control.

The village of Kirikin Ninja also followed the mystical principles of the past, while the coastal areas of the Land of Water were closed to the outside world, and all ocean-going merchant ships except fishermen and inland sea civilian ships were expropriated by the shogunate in a "ransom" manner, and foreign trade and trade exchanges were entrusted to the United Company.

As for the shogunate's ironclad fleet, it also formed patrol formations to carry out the naval blockade, and all ships that did not belong to the shogunate on the sea were destroyed on the spot indiscriminately.

This time, the shareholders of the United Company, that is, the Uchiha clan and the various pro-affiliated ninja clans, can be said to have made a lot of money.

Is there any more lucrative business in this world than mastering a big country?

It is also foreseeable that the development momentum and prospects of the Uchiha clan and the ninja clan in the future are absolutely immeasurable!

And the reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu was in a hurry to rush back to the village was because of the letter from his father Uchiha Nakagen, and secondly, he had to go back to deal with the dissatisfaction within the village that "did not suffer from widowhood but suffered from inequality".

In his father, Uchiha Nakagen's letter, it was mentioned that there seemed to be something wrong with the Great Elder's body at an instant, and the Great Elder seemed to have some things to explain to Uchiha Tokumitsu face to face.

Naturally, Uchiha Tokumitsu would not ignore the weight of the letter.

What's more, the Great Elder of Instant is also the guide of this life, and his support for the rise of Uchiha Tokumitsu at the beginning is also very large.

On the way back to Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered another question.

That is, the so-called "ninja no borders" is the focus topic of Konoha now.

Naturally, as with various key public opinion topics in Konoha in the past, the attitudes of Konoha ninjas towards this point of view are also mixed.

Those who support and believe that "Ninja Borderless" is a legitimate and reasonable group, then they are naturally a member of the Ninja Clan, and they also gain tangible benefits in the process of the expansion of the shogunate.

The opposing attitude is dominated by Konoha civilian ninjas and ninjas from various small ninja clans.

The trickiest part also comes from this - most of the members of the Hachiki Sakushige's Innovation Guild are from civilian ninjas or small ninja clans.

Therefore, this is also regarded by Uchiha Tokumitsu as a major event that could shake the alliance between the two sides.

In Uchiha Tokumitsu's impression, Sakushige Hachiki is a person who is relatively easy to influence, and he is also a person who is pure, but his nature is actually a "Konoha supremacist".

Therefore, in fact, it is possible that Sakushige Hagi may be influenced by others and unconsciously change his position.

Just like when Uchiha Tokumitsu pulled Hachiki Shuomao to the opposite side of the Hokage family through various means, thus urging him to become his ally.

But human nature must be both right and standing.

There are some things that Uchiha Tokumitsu can do on his own, but that doesn't mean he wants to see others imitate them.

In particular, it will also affect the rear of the Uchiha clan.

"Tokumitsu-sama......"

An attendant ninja picked up his speed and came to Tokumitsu Uchiha's side, handing over a piece of information in both hands.

Uchiha Tokumitsu casually flipped through it, took a cursory look, and then stopped walking.

Although the accompanying ninja army did not know why, they immediately stopped their advance and quickly formed a guard formation around them.

“…… Mimura Hamaki! ”

In the intelligence, it is mentioned that an incident that happened a few hours ago - Mimura Hamaki made a request at the executive meeting of the House of Representatives to depose the mobile force directly led by the speaker of the House of Representatives, Sakushige Hagi!

And the mobile force is not only composed of the Uchiha clan's shinobi, but also a symbol of the alliance between Hachiki Sakushige and the Uchiha clan!

What is especially intriguing is that Qimu Shuomao did not refuse at the first time, but after hesitating for a long time, he chose to put the matter on hold before discussing it!

Uchiha Tokumitsu's head burst into green tendons.

In addition, Mimura Hamaki also proposed a series of proposals to abolish the ninja army, requiring the reduction of one-tenth of the existing standing ninja army in Konoha within one year, and striving to reduce the standing ninja army to one-fifth of the current ninja army within three years!

Abolish the Standing Ninja Army...... This is the life of Tokumitsu in the Uchiha! It's digging the foot of the Uchiha clan!

Uchiha Tokumitsu began to wonder if it was because he was too gentle in the process of disposing of the original Hokage, which caused those with dissident intentions to start to have unrealistic illusions.

Especially Mimura Hamaki!

Uchiha Tokumitsu has always regarded him as a wing of Hachiki Sakushige and has taken good care of him, including when he divided the interests after defeating the Hokage family, he also handed over the Konoha Mission Center to him because he regarded him as his own!

Unexpectedly, now he was the first to start stabbing the knife!

"I'm afraid that not everyone thinks that Uchiha's ninja sword is unfavorable!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered and ordered his subordinates: "Inform Fuba City and send someone to bring Goji Yakura to Konoha!" ”

This time Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't intend to compromise.

He must be prepared with both hands, fighting with one hand and fighting with the other, and grasping with both hands and being hard with both hands. And he has to punch with both hands to extinguish the opposition within Konoha in one go!

Uchiha Tokumitsu wants them to know that even if Konoha is now nominally a ninja republic, there will still be people who are more equal than ordinary people even if they have equal discourse!

……

After the executive meeting of the House of Representatives, Sakushige returned to his mansion with mixed feelings.

There is no doubt that the uproar caused by Mimura Hamaki's proposal in the House of Representatives will inevitably provoke a backlash from the Uchiha clan.

Whether it is the number of shinobi or the power they wield, the Uchiha clan has an overwhelming advantage within Konoha that no challenger can match.

Hachiki Shuomao didn't understand why Mimura Hamaki chose to jump out against his will at this time to provoke trouble, and even after the meeting, he wanted to summon Mimura Hamaki to discuss privately, but he flatly refused.

In addition, there was a division within the Reform Council.

Civilian ninjas and small ninja ninjas expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that after Uchiha Tokumitsu conquered the fog, he did not include it in Konoha's sphere of influence but chose to classify it as his own ban, believing that this was Uchiha Tokumitsu's power for personal gain, using the power of Konoha to expand his own power, and violating Konoha's long-standing principle of fairness.

But the problem is that even if they covet the Shogunate's gains in the Fog Hidden Campaign, these dissidents are not part of the ninja army that participates in the war!

You must know that the ninja army of the United Company who participated in the war did not suffer any losses, and they all made a lot of money.

And as far as he knew, there were already people within the Reform Council who had begun to plot to start a re-election to remove Uchiha Tokumitsu from his position as Chief Supervisor and eliminate the influence of the Ninja clan in the Innovation Council.

What's more, there are already voices calling on the Uchiha clan to open up their control over the Water Country and bring it under Konoha jurisdiction so that the Konoha ninja can take on the mission of the Water Country......

To be honest, he was also shocked by the changes in the Innovation Society.

In particular, the change in the attitude of some middle-level ninjas made him feel cold.

There were all kinds of noises, and all kinds of voices were extremely noisy, which made Qimu Shuomao upset.

"Those bastards!"

The good-tempered Qimu Shuomao couldn't help but scold.

The expansion of the Uchiha clan with the pro-affiliated ninja clan under his command is actually a good thing for Konoha , at least for now, Konoha's involution has also eased a lot, and the number of tasks that can fall into everyone's hands has increased a lot.

But now that even Konoha can't carry out the tasks he undertakes, those people actually have the leisure to think about the mission of the Water Country! Do they all think that Uchiha Tokumitsu really doesn't dare to use it internally?

What's more, if Uchiha Tokumitsu chooses to use tough measures internally, with the strength of Konoha now, who can fight the Uchiha clan?

You know, the original Hokage series has completely disappeared! Even the Shadow Department has been swallowed up into the Secret Service of the Ministry of Police!

I don't want to think about it, with their little strength, why should they fight against the Uchiha clan!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he began to regret his attitude of trying to de-escalate the situation at the House of Representatives. 、

"I knew that I reprimanded and dismissed ...... on the spot"

The more he thought about it, the more tricky it became.

The current good situation in Konoha is based on the fact that Uchiha Tokumitsu is relatively "reasonable" to maintain the current situation, otherwise, after killing the original three generations of apes to fly to the sun, even if Uchiha Tokumitsu calls himself the new Hokage of Konoha, who in the village can or dare to raise objections?

"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from uneven ......"

Sakushige Hagi remembered what Uchiha Tokumitsu once said, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

But the problem is that the Uchiha Tokumitsu has never made the slightest concession on anything that concerns the interests of the family, not even a strategic superficial concession.

Even in the distribution of benefits after the coup d'état, although the Senate and the House of Representatives were nominally side by side, and the House of Representatives was entrusted to Sakumo Hagi, in fact, the Uchiha clan and their pro-affiliated ninja forces were enough to influence any decision of the House of Representatives, but they chose not to express their stance on day-to-day matters in order to maintain their alliances.

Just like when he was in the first shinobi class meeting, Uchiha Tokumitsu chose to let the family's shinobi support Hagi Sakushige in the matter vote.

"Father's ......"

Kakashi Hagi, the son of Sakushi, pushed open the door of the study with a twist, and said timidly to his father, "Do you have time to teach me swordsmanship today?" ”

"Oh......"

A smile appeared on Hachiki Shuomao's face, "Wait a minute, okay?" I'll deal with a few things first......"

"Okay......

His son, Kakashi Hagi, nodded obediently.

Qimu Shuomao returned to the study, took out a pen and paper and was about to write some content, when suddenly a report from the family attendant came from outside the door.

"Lord Shuomao, Orochimaru and Jiraiya Shinobi are coming to visit ......"

“…… I know. ”

Hachiki Shuomao hesitated for a moment, but still put away the pen in his hand, intending to meet the two special shinobi.

“…… By the way, talk to Kakashi, maybe I won't have time to practice swordsmanship with him anymore. ”
