Chapter 376: A Generation's Manifest Destiny
"Congratulations to Tokumitsu-sama!"
"Wan Sheng!"
In the Grand Ballroom of the Joint Anti-Terrorist Force in the southern part of Takino Country, Uchiha Shiina was the first to stand up to congratulate Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the shinobi who participated in the celebration banquet immediately echoed in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on this occasion of joy, in the name of the Uchiha, I would like to pay tribute to all of you who have been fighting on the front line! Please drink this cup together! ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu also raised his glass very face-wrenchingly and said.
"The shogunate is eternal!"
All the ninjas immediately stood up and shouted in unison.
Even Orochimaru, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, drank half a glass.
Then Uchiha Tokumitsu said a few simple words, and then the upper ninjas feasted separately.
"By the way, what about Brother Fuyue?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at the upper ninjas present and asked Uchiha Shiina.
"Brother Fuyue~ It is said that his fiancée is going to give birth, so he rushed back in advance."
Uchiha Shiina once again gave Uchiha Fugaku some eye medicine: "Could it be ...... Didn't he report it to you? ”
"I don't know, maybe he's in a hurry."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also saw Uchiha Shiina's thoughts, but he didn't care, after all, even if it was the Uchiha clan, it was impossible to be monolithic, and it was normal to have some tilting.
As long as the struggle does not intensify to the level of a civil war, Uchiha Tokumitsu feels that it doesn't matter.
"But...... Isn't it a fiancée? If you say that, the Fuyue clan brother ......"
However, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Uchiha Tokumitsu also rarely had a bit of gossip interest.
"Well...... It is said that the fiancée of the Fugaku clan brother is one of the guardians of the family, and when she takes a turn off, she ......"
Uchiha Shiina immediately came to his senses, so he hurriedly began to pour out the gossip he had heard.
With the rise of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are getting busier and busier, although the Uchiha ninjas rarely take on tasks, but there are still too many positions or recruits that need them, so the male ninjas within the family are basically not idle.
But as a ninja clan, it is bound to retain some ninja power within the family as the last line of defense, even with the strength and power of the current Uchiha clan, there is no need to worry about the safety of the clan, but tradition is tradition, even if it is a ceremonial symbol, even if the scale is small, it needs to be preserved.
Although the Uchiha clan does not have the tradition of "war makes women go away", after all, male ninjas have a lot of advantages under the same conditions, so most of the external positions are taken over by male ninjas or fill in the pits, and the female ninjas of the family, especially those with more average strength, basically stay in the clan territory
Including Uchiha Tokumitsu's fiancée, Uchiha Makoto, who also stayed in the clan to serve as the family's guardian ninja.
"What's the name of Brother Fugaku's fiancée?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked.
"It seems that Mikoto is particularly ninja......"
Uchiha Shiina replied with some hesitation, "It is said that he is in the same vein as Miss Makoto......"
"Really~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, his expression unusual.
"But there's a reason why Brother Fuyue is so nervous......"
Uchiha Shiina whispered, "It is said to be premature. ”
“…… Where did you get so much lace news? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu glared at him angrily: "Now that he is also in command of a ninja army, he must be more or less upright!" ”
"Know...... Know"
Uchiha Shiina smiled embarrassedly, "Drink and drink~"
After another glass of sake, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly thought about it.
Fugaku, Mai Trin......
And their first child is about to be born......
Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't remember when the Uchiha Itachi, who remembered his previous life, was born, but it is certain that it will definitely not be this year.
Now it's still August 9 in the 40th year of Konoha~
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked at the calendar hanging on the side of the banquet hall and frowned slightly.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
The Tsunashi Clan Patriarch of the Uzumaki clan also came to Uchiha Tokumitsu with a wine glass.
"Patriarch Reeda is polite~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately got up, and the two clinked glasses and drank it all.
"In this battle, the Vortex Clan has not been harmed, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu pulled the Ashina patriarch to sit down and greeted him cordially.
"Thanks to Lord Deguang's concern, only six members of the clan were injured in this battle, and there was no other battle damage."
Patriarch Reed hurriedly replied.
"That's good......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled and nodded with relief, "After all, the most important thing for the Uzumaki clan now is to recover their vitality, and the last way to recover their vitality is to increase the family population~"
"It's still a lot better than it was at the beginning......
The patriarch of Reed was also full of emotion when he heard this, "It's just that the most important thing to restore the population is time~"
"And how many newborns are there in the Vortex this year?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu personally poured a glass of wine for the Ashina patriarch and asked casually.
"There are no ...... of the tribesmen waiting to give birth this year"
Patriarch Reed's expression was a little bitter: "After all, the family population is still too small. ”
After the Battle of the Vortex Tide that year, the Vortex people who moved into Konoha from the country of the Vortex were basically old and young, and there were few young and strong, not to mention, those who had reached the marriageable age and should have children had already given birth and were raising children, so it was normal for a newborn fault to occur in a certain year.
"If necessary, I can transfer the positions of the Vortex people again and place them in the village as much as possible."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
"It's not necessary, after all, it's every Uzumaki ninja's honor to contribute to the shogunate!"
Patriarch Ashina immediately said.
Now he still feels that the binding degree between the Uzumaki family and the Uchiha clan is not enough, and even thinks about how to marry his granddaughter Kushina to Uchiha Tokumitsu! How could they let the ninjas of the family sit on the cold bench!
Compared with the slow growth of the family population, the relationship with the Uchiha clan is more important.
After the tragic events of the destruction of the vortex and the overturning of the whirlpool, Uzumaki Reina only thinks about how to firmly hold on to the thighs of Uchiha Tokumitsu as a shelter for the family.
Moreover, it may be a good thing that the population growth of the Uzumaki clan is a little slower, after all, they are both bloodline ninja clans, and it will be safer for the Uzumaki clan and the Uchiha clan to have a larger gap in strength.
Although as long as Uchiha Tokumitsu is alive, theoretically the Uzumaki clan does not have to worry about the security of the family, but after all, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, so it is right to think more.
A generation has a generational responsibility, and as the widow of the Vortex Shinobi Village, Uzumaki Reed's responsibility is to improve a safe shelter for the Uzumaki clan; As for recovery and population growth, that's for the next generation.
"But it's probably time for Tokumitsu-sama to get married......
Thinking of this, the reed patriarch couldn't help but say tentatively.
"Let's celebrate my birthday, the Great Elder and Father have also begun to urge."
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't mind talking about his personal affairs, so he replied directly.
His birthday is August 15, which means there are still six days to go.
"Congratulations, congratulations~"
The Ashina patriarch quickly used his brain again, thinking about how not to leak a trace and not arouse the disgust of the Uchiha clan to get Kushina involved.
After all, Uchiha Tokumitsu's fiancée, Makoto, is widely recognized by the Uchiha family.
"By the way, what name is the child of the Fuyue clan going to make?"
After chatting with the Ashina patriarch for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu turned to Uchiha Shiina and asked.
"Itachi ......"
Uchiha Shiina said with some uncertainty: "But it should be a nickname or nickname, otherwise it would be too casual to use the name of an animal as your own name......"
"After all, the brother of the Fuyue clan is still the son of the patriarch~"
At this moment, Uchiha Shiina did not forget to give Uchiha Fugaku a little eye medicine again.
"Maybe the rich Yue clan brother thinks it's easy to support with a cheap name~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile.
“…… Is there any truth to this?"
Uchiha Shiina was stunned.
"Let's go back to the village tomorrow."
Uchiha Tokumitsu casually found the attendant ninja and ordered, "Then prepare a gift, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift for the Fugaku clan brother." ”
Uchiha Shiina listened to it and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
Did you make a mistake in your judgment? Cousin Uchiha Tokumitsu, is there no contradiction with the patriarch's son-in-law?
……
With the completion of the clearing of the battlefield of the encirclement and suppression war in the country of numa, the various units participating in the war also left the combat area one after another, and the various ninja armies that were secretly mobilized to participate in the war also returned to their headquarters respectively.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to Konoha, he took a team of attendant ninjas with gifts to the patriarch's mansion the next day.
"The patriarch of the Quartet, brother of the Fuyue clan."
With a smile on his face, Uchiha Tokugaku greeted the President of the Senate and Patriarch Uchiha Shikata and Uchiha Fugaku, respectively, who were standing at the door to greet them.
"Deguangjun, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to ......"
Patriarch Uchiha Quartet said.
Although you are the patriarch and the president of the Senate, he can't afford to put up a stand in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, after all, the current scenery of the Uchiha clan comes from Uchiha Tokumitsu alone, and for the clan, the glory and dignity of any bloodline are nonsense, and only strength can make them obedient.
Now the Uchiha Quartet has long ceased to be entangled in other things, although it still has the name of the chief of the police department, but basically the affairs of the police department are submitted to the Uchiha Tokumitsu for review directly to the governor's palace.
His only hope is to keep the name of the patriarch line, and then teach the younger generations well.
"The new generation of clansmen is the hope of the family, besides, the Fuyue clan brother is happy if he doesn't come to congratulate him~"
Uchiha Tokumitsu laughed.
Then Uchiha Tokumitsu also met the protagonist of this visit, a crumpled and red little monkey!
Well...... That's it for newborn children.
As for whether it is the reincarnation of Indra, I really can't tell......
Uchiha Tokumitsu glanced at it slightly, then changed the topic He Uchiha Quartet and Uchiha Fugaku chatted nonsense, and stayed for about an hour before leaving.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu had just returned to the Governor's Mansion office when an Uchiha ninja from a secret guard came to report.
"According to the survey, neither the Uzumaki nor the Thousand Hands have any newborns this year."
"A thousand hands?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised.
It's okay for the Uzumaki clan to say, after all, the Edina patriarch wouldn't lie to himself about it; But it's a bit strange that the thousand-handed clan, which is still quite vigorous now, has no newborns this year.
"Yes, not even those small sects that have changed their surnames and returned."
Although he didn't know that Uchiha Tokumitsu would suddenly be interested in the newborns of these two families, the Dark Guard Ninja still did enough investigation: "The main thing is that last year's baby boom appeared, and this year's school-age ninjas are basically nursing young children, so it's ......"
"Okay, I got ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, telling the Dark Guard Ninja to step back.
Legend has it that both Indra and Asura were reincarnated at the same time, and their reincarnations in each generation were entangled, just like Madara Uchiha and Senju Pillar in the post-Sengoku era.
Having said that, in fact, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't have much ill will towards the two ancestors, but he just planned to let the two ancestors not continue to reincarnate and make trouble.
Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't believe in fatalism, although he doesn't think that "Manifest Destiny" must be on his side, but he also doesn't want someone to use the so-called reincarnation of fate to shake the order he has established, and as for the vision of mutual understanding between the people of Asura, it is not even as good as nonsense in his mind.
As the saying goes, a generation has a generation's responsibility and responsibility, and Uchiha Tokumitsu feels that his responsibility is to change the war and suffering of the complete ninja world, replace the strife of the nations with "unification of the four seas", and let the ninja world have a better tomorrow under the "care" of the Uchiha clan.
"It's just that those aliens in Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave are neither willing to surrender nor willing to die, it's really annoying!"
Thinking of this, Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but scold.
He didn't know how thick the foundation of Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain was, and even Orochimaru couldn't tell how many ninja snakes there were in Longdi Cave
What Uchiha Tokumitsu wants is nothing more than a "simple" "final conclusion of history", so that the Uchiha clan, especially the dynasty of his own bloodline, will be enough for thousands of generations.
Therefore, the two old ancestors who were neither obedient nor willing to die obediently seemed very annoying.
It's just that in this way, Uchiha Fugaku's child should not be the so-called Indra's reincarnation.
What's more, his name is still "Itachi".
“…… Let's see it when you're older! ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it, so he wrote a memo and wrote it down.
Although the "Itachi" in the memory of his previous life is a well-known white-eyed wolf with a filial son, after all, it has a certain historical background, and Uchiha Tokumitsu feels that since he has changed the Uchiha Shisui, it is not a big deal to change another Uchiha Itachi.
It's a big deal, and when the time comes, let's see if Itachi will become a happy rival with the children of the Thousand Hands or Uzumaki families.
Although the year of birth is wrong, considering that he has changed so much history, it is not surprising that under the butterfly effect, Fugaku accidentally hit the target after a gun misfire......
But if you say that, if the ferret is not the reincarnation of Indra...... Could it be that the old patriarch of his family is not dead? At this time, he is still hiding in a corner of the ninja world, and he is ready to continue to do things?
Uchiha Tokumitsu's brow furrowed again.
