Chapter 285: The Knife Edge Turned Inward
In the evening, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who had rushed back to Konoha in the dust, returned directly to the clan land surrounded by a group of subordinates, without having anything to do with any outsiders.
But this scene fell in the eyes of the other forces in Konoha, but it caused some discussions.
Mimura Hamaki's proposals in the House of Representatives to abolish the ninja army and annex Kigakure, in the eyes of the so-called "Konoha Third Force" such as the Senju clan and the Hyuga Alliance, are actually dog-eat-dog within the current ruling class of the village.
For example, while the House of Representatives is pretending to oppose Mimura Hamaki's disarmament bill, he is privately instructing the family's low-level ninjas to trumpet the benefits that the abolition of the standing ninja army and the annexation of the fog will bring to Konoha and so on, the main focus is a schizophrenia.
And the Thousand Hands clan even lashed out at Uchiha Tokumitsu's behavior of controlling the fog from the dimensions of the system of one village and one country, and the parallel establishment of the five ninja villages to establish a peaceful pattern in the ninja world, and put pressure on the Uchiha clan in public opinion.
But in the end, "the weapon of criticism is not as good as the weapon of criticism".
The Uchiha ninja army, who returned to Konoha with a bloody storm, suddenly made the various voices of the village disappear.
Especially after the second group of people from the shogunate arrived in Konoha, the Hyuga ninja in charge of intelligence recognized the identity of the little man among them at a glance - the former fog and the three-tailed man Pillar Force Goji Yakura!
As we all know, the Tokuko Shogunate, which won several battles in the Fog Hidden Expedition and the Cloud Hidden Expedition, controls the most tailed beasts in the ninja world! And this time, even the human pillar force was brought back to the village......
No one doubted that the Uchiha clan who played with eye illusions couldn't control the power of a single pillar, let alone the help of the Uzumaki clan.
Similarly, no one doubted that the Uchiha clan did not have the courage to start a civil war!
A chill, a murderous chill, quickly passed from the gate of Konoha Ninja Village to every Konoha force who was concerned about the development of the situation.
Qimu Shuomao was also a little unable to sit still.
The reason why this matter has fermented to this point is that he also has a lot of responsibility.
Habitual compromise and appeasement are the reasons why Mimura Hamaki and other "ninja faction" forces feel that Hachiki Sakushigeru is a "gentleman", so they boldly "deceive him".
But in fact, Sakumo Hachiki clearly understood that although his alliance with the Uchiha clan did change the image of the Uchiha clan in the village, he and the Shinkai did not exert much effort in the process of completely defeating the Hokage clan.
However, the actions of the police department immediately caused Hachiki to pause his journey to the Uchiha clan.
"The Ministry of Police order: From now on, a curfew will be imposed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m."
"Those who do not have a special pass issued by the Ministry of Police or who have an emergency are not allowed to walk around the streets during the curfew!"
"Anyone who violates the curfew order shall be punished with imprisonment for not less than six months upon investigation!"
"Anyone who resists the police department's enforcement of the curfew punishment will be killed on the spot!"
Less than an hour after Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to his homeland, notices were posted at all sub-district police stations of the Ministry of Police, loudspeakers were broadcast to the whole village at the same time, and police officers began to change into temporary equipment and prepare for the implementation of curfew.
Sakushige looked at the clock at home, it was about nine o'clock in the evening......
Although he was confident that even if he went out, he would not be selflessly enforced by the Ministry of Police, but after thinking about it, he still chose to give up his plan to go out.
He couldn't guess Uchiha Tokumitsu's thoughts, so there was still no need to guess.
With Hagi Shuomao's understanding of Uchiha Tokumitsu, as early as tomorrow morning, and at the latest the day after tomorrow, Uchiha Tokumitsu will start to take action inside Konoha, and then he only needs to control the situation and not go to extremes.
"But this time, there may be a lot of deaths......"
Qimu Shuomao sighed deeply.
Especially Mimura Hamaki, Hachiki Sakumo has always regarded him as his right and left hand, so he doesn't understand why he suddenly chose to attack the Uchiha Tokumitsu's shogunate, and even went to the Uchiha clan's military power against the scales.
It's just that this time, Qimu Shuomao no longer intends to put his face on his face to continue to plead.
After taking charge of the supreme power of Konoha, Qimu Shuomao's psychology has also changed somewhat, and his moral bottom line has become relatively flexible, such as learning how to make trade-offs in front of interests.
"Father...... Can you practice ninjutsu with me today? β
His son, Kakashi Hagi, asked, leaning against the porch, his eyes wide, flashing.
"How's the knife technique? Can't go out when there's a curfew outside...... Don't have enough space at home? β
A smile appeared on his face, and he touched his son's silver hair, which was identical to his own.
"Don't let me down...... Kakashi......"
Hachiki Shuomao muttered to himself.
In Konoha's generation, it is estimated that no one can compete with Uchiha Tokumitsu, but the next generation is estimated to still have a chance.
For example, his gifted and intelligent son......
Immediately, Sakumo Hachiki remembered what Orochimaru and Jiraiya had said when they visited last night......
β¦β¦
After Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to the clan land, he first sent someone to the mansion of the Grand Elder of Εna to make a report, and then returned home to have a meal with his parents who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Then, after washing up, Uchiha Tokumitsu carried the Uchiha clan's artifact flame fan to the mansion of the Great Elder of the Moment.
Unlike usual, this time the door of the Great Elder's Mansion opened, and the two guard ninjas stood respectfully at the door, and when they saw Uchiha Tokumitsu coming from a distance, they immediately went back to report to the inside, and one person stepped forward to greet him.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
The attitude of the guard ninja was also very respectful, "The Great Elder is already in the hall, please come with me......"
"I'm sorry for you."
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't make a show at all, and said gently.
"You're polite, it's all within your part."
The guard ninja replied politely as well.
And his gaze was also biased to the flame fan in Uchiha Tokumitsu's hand from time to time.
The whereabouts of the artifact flame fan,It has always been the goal that the family intends to pursue since Madara Uchiha left.,There was a time when the Uchiha clan thought that after the battle of the end valley,The flame fan was hidden by the Thousand Hands clan.,So it's also very unpleasant to have a quarrel with the second generation of the Thousand Hands Clan.,But later, under the mediation of the Uchiha realm, the family gradually gave up the plan to recover the flame fan from the Thousand Hands clan.γ
Now, Uchiha Tokumitsu has captured the long-lost artifact flame fan from the hands of three generations of Mizukage in the Misty Hidden Expedition, and there are still many strange or coincidental coincidences behind this matter, which the Uchiha people can't think about.
In an instant, the Great Elder also stood on the porch in front of the hall, smiling at the Uchiha Tokumitsu who was striding over.
"Great Elder......
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also unambiguous, and immediately bowed to the elders.
"It's been a long time since Deguang-kun ......"
In an instant, the Great Elder smiled and beckoned Uchiha Tokumitsu to sit down.
And the flame fan was also presented by Uchiha Tokumitsu with both hands.
"How many years......"
In an instant, the Great Elder's face was full of gloom, and he gently stroked the Magatama logo on the flame fan.
"I haven't seen the family's artifact since Madara left the village......
"Besides, I thought I would never see the artifact return to the family again in my life......"
In an instant, the Great Elder's expression was a little complicated.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was silent.
"Deguang-kun, are you willing to be honest with me?"
After being sad for a while, the Great Elder handed the flame fan in his hand back to Uchiha Tokumitsu, and then asked.
"In front of the Great Elder, he naturally knows everything and speaks endlessly."
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied dryly, too.
In an instant, the Great Elder hesitated, first waved his hand to let the guard ninja retreat, and then asked with hesitation, "This fan...... From whose hands did it come from? β
"On the bright side, there are three generations of Mizukage ...... of the foggy hide"
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied, "Actually......"
ββ¦β¦ Madara-sama, right? β
In an instant, the Great Elder lowered his head slightly and interjected.
"Yes."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded very dryly.
"I didn't expect it...... Madara-sama is still alive......"
In an instant, the Great Elder's mouth trembled slightly, and he said in a complicated tone, "So, is he dead now?" β
"Escaped with serious injuries, but I don't know if I really died later."
Uchiha Tokumitsu confessed, "I secretly sent a search team to explore all over the ninja world, but to no avail. β
ββ¦β¦ Madara had died in the Valley of the End decades ago. β
In an instant, the Great Elder's tone became indifferent: "If you find him, give him a decent ......"
and "Ye Gong Hao Dragon", Uchiha Madara is only suitable for being an idol whose meaning is unknown and everyone smears, and its image and original meaning have nothing to do with the Uchiha Madara who once existed; Moreover, the current Uchiha clan no longer needs to regard the old patriarch who once gave up the clan as a spiritual idol, so even the great elder of the moment chose to sweep him into the garbage heap of history after a little hesitation.
"That's what I'm going to do."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said without modesty.
ββ¦β¦ Remember, leave a little decency for the old man. β
In an instant, the Great Elder said with a complicated mood.
"That's ...... nature"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also nodded with a filial face.
ββ¦β¦ What are you going to do with the village? β
In an instant, the Great Elder chatted a few more homely words before diverting the topic.
"Draw a few red lines in the village that cannot be crossed."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's attitude also became firm.
ββ¦β¦ What if people are involved in this matter? β
In an instant, the Great Elder let out a long sigh and said faintly.
ββ¦β¦ Conservatives? β
Uchiha Tokumitsu's face darkened.
"Yes."
In an instant, the Great Elder took out a scroll from his cuff and handed it over.
Uchiha Tokumitsu frowned and opened it to look through it, and found that the conservative clansmen who were sent to the country of grass had really done a lot of things......
This includes, but is not limited to, attempts to return to the village by promoting disarmament......
"The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu scolded hatefully.
There is also a list of the Uchiha people involved in the scroll, and Uchiha Tokumitsu noticed a very impressive name in the family composition of one of the participants:
"Uchiha stops water!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu's brow furrowed even tighter.
In order to go back to the village, he was able to have an affair with outsiders to promote disarmament and dig up the foundation of the family, which is simply an unreasonable behavior!
Besides, the Uchiha Fire Gate, who was in charge of the Northwest Shogunate, did not treat these conservative clansmen badly, and in the border army, they were all treated well!
"Generally speaking, people who have opened their eyes will always be more stubborn in certain things......"
In an instant, the Great Elder also had a little headache, "So, what are you going to do?" β
He didn't intend to hide the matter either, after all, with Uchiha Tokumitsu's prestige within the family, someone would poke this matter out in front of him sooner or later.
"It just so happens that there are ten people involved, so let's execute eleven kills."
Uchiha Tokumitsu put away the scroll and said in an indifferent tone, "It's okay for them to see that the family is not unprincipled and protects them." β
ββ¦β¦ As for those children, they will all be deprived of guardianship rights and enrolled in the preparatory training school of the Ministry of Police. β
At the end, Uchiha Tokumitsu added.
"You do things, I can rest assured ......"
In an instant, the Great Elder nodded disappreciatively.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's handling was also unexpectedly gentle.
According to his initial estimates, he thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu would at least kill all the people involved.
"But the rest of the village is involved in this matter, and I don't plan to let it go......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "This time, the edge of the knife must be inward!" β
"I don't care about these things, it's still the same sentence, I don't ...... you do things."
In an instant, the Great Elder had no idea of getting involved in this matter.
"Then please sit firmly in the mansion and watch the juniors perform......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his glass to tea.
β¦β¦
On the second day, as the first round of curfew ended, the villagers of Konoha who had just left the house saw the police and interior affairs troops in full swing.
Under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the police department directly sealed off Mimura Hamaki's mansion, and broke into it in public to arrest several Chushinobi; Even Mimura Hamaki, one of the five generals of Konoha and in charge of the mission center, tried to obstruct it, but chose to back down in front of several pairs of scarlet three-hooked jade.
Subsequently, a number of ninja ninjas were taken away for review by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the name of "inciting the destruction of the good situation in Konoha" for their radical remarks.
At the same time, the Ministry of Police officially announced the reporting channel, announcing that it would accept anonymous reports from Konoha ninjas.
By noon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had arrested a number of ninjas from the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Mission Center based on the report, and this time Mito Menyan, the representative of the old Hokage faction, was also a little unable to sit still.
He also didn't know when it would implicate him.
As for the private tandem of his subordinates, in fact, Mito Menyan has always seen it in his eyes, but he just chose to stare at one eye and close one eye.
It's just that this time it seems that the reaction of the Uchiha clan is a little too intense......
In the afternoon, Uchiha Nakagen personally led his troops to the Inuzuka clan land and took two Inuzuka Shinobu and an oil girl Shinobu who happened to be in the same room to be taken away for review.
The Hyuga clan immediately became a little bigger.
At night, the loudspeakers of the police department once again broadcast a village-wide announcement, informing them that the curfew time had been adjusted from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m., and that anyone who violated the ban would be punished regardless of their identity.
For a time, the wind and the wind were loud and loud in the leaves, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Naruto is a long-form manga, so it's understandable that the timeline is confusing. The age of the water stop is indeed a bug. Because Shisui's ancestor was Uchiha Kagami, but when Kagami died (twenty-five years old), it was only five or six years before Shisui was born, so the timeline in Hokage doesn't have to be too entangled, and if you put aside the time bug, the Hokage itself is also a good manga.
