When two jonins, Uchiha Nobuhiko and Uchiha Kensuke, escorted the captured three suspected Anbu or Root lurkers to the police department, it happened that Uchiha Tokimitsu's father, Uchiha Nakagen, was at the police department. The building was on duty as a steward, and after the two explained the reason for the matter clearly to Uchiha Nakagen, they returned to the training ground to continue their tactical co-operation.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu asked about the escort situation, he learned that he was a prisoner in his father's custody, so he felt relieved and did not think anything else. He just continued to guide the Uchiha Ninja Army's tactics.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu threw out all the plans in his mind for training, it was already evening, the sun was setting, and the Uchiha ninjas participating in the training were somewhat tired.
So Uchiha Tokumitsu discussed with the nominal commander Uchiha Homon to end today's exercise, and Uchiha Homon naturally agreed. Originally, his role was to be a transitional existence to help Uchiha Tokumitsu suppress the situation. These small things Naturally, I will not refute Uchiha Tokko.
So everyone was called together to make a summary speech on today's training exercise. Uchiha Huomen was responsible for beating the proud soldiers of the family, and Uchiha Tokumitsu was responsible for encouraging and praising, and winning people's hearts; the two of them knocked and pulled, and All the Uchiha ninjas were trained well, and no one dared to underestimate the young Tokimitsu Uchiha.
After having enough leadership experience, under the formation of Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uchiha Ninja Army marched back to Konoha Village in a straight formation of three people and twenty-two rows.
Discipline is a wonderful thing.
There is a saying that "without rules, there is no garden", but ordinary ninjas, as combatants who mostly focus on assassination skills, often appear in scattered combat squad units, whether they are marching or fighting, such as the Uchiha Ninja Army. Except for the Iwagakure Village of Earth Country, which advocates unity, there are only a few people who gather together and march in formation.
Especially the Uchihas with strong bodies, handsome faces, and average handsomeness, once they gather together and march, they will be even more majestic and pleasing to the eye.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was walking in front of the queue with his head held high, his left hand holding the tachi at his waist, and his right hand swinging naturally. Each step was like measuring the distance, and each step was no more than 50 centimeters or less; the Uchiha in the queue He couldn't help but follow Tokimitsu's appearance, restrained his expression, condensed his eyes, and moved forward in step with Uchiha Tokimitsu's pace.
Even Uchiha Kato, who was a bit lazy and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, walked with his head held high and his expression serious.
The team and pace are becoming more and more orderly.
"Bang bang bang!"
Neat footsteps gradually approached the gate of Konoha Village, causing a commotion among the civilians, caravans and ninjas who were lining up to enter the village.
Even the ninjas of the Uchiha Police Department who were on duty on the city wall were so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw this situation.
The returning Uchiha ninja army did not look sideways and marched forward in an orderly manner. The left hand pressing the ninja sword symbolized a vigilant posture, and the right hand swung naturally with the pace, indicating that he was taking a leisurely stroll.
The people who were originally blocking the door quickly ducked to both sides, and the Uchiha ninja troops filed in, treating everyone as if they were nothing.
"As expected of the most powerful family in the ninja world..."
A big businessman who came to Konoha to do business was deeply shocked when he saw this situation and couldn't help but murmured to himself. He also made up his mind that he must hire Uchiha ninjas as escorts when he returns. With this figure and posture, his appearance is justice, and his discipline is his combat power. It would be so respectable to take him out! If you can hire ten or eight Uchihas to protect you, even the lord may not have such a card!
The other ninjas next to them were all sharp-sighted and naturally heard what the big businessman said. Whether they were from the ninja clan or civilians, they all had complicated expressions. They were envious of such power, but they didn't know what to say, and Uchiha Ninjas are also on guard on the city walls. If you talk nonsense, you will most likely be caught on the spot and sent to jail.
After all the Uchiha ninja troops entered the village, several figures emerged from the forest outside the village and ran towards the Hokage building. The Uchiha ninjas on guard on the city wall didn't bother to care. Anyway, they were also ANBU directly under the Hokage. As long as they guarded the barrier There was no response and the police department couldn't care about it, and it didn't take much to know that the purpose of showing off in such a hurry in front of everyone was to report to the Hokage Building what Uchiha had just done.
The swaggering Uchiha ninja army returned to Konoha, where he was still loyal for the time being.
…
However, it was said that the Sandaime was in the office at this time with Mito Kaden and Koharu Koharu to discuss the gathering and logistical supply issues to support the Rain Country Ninja Army, and an ANBU hurried back.
"Lord Hokage..."
"Why are you so panicked?"
The Sandaime asked, frowning slightly reproachfully.
The fact that the direct ANBU was so flustered really made him, as the Hokage, feel a bit unworthy, especially since the two advisors were still watching.
"The appearance remains unchanged despite the landslide... This is an essential quality for a ninja, not to mention you are an ANBU..." The Sandaime scolded him with a straight face and repeated beatings.
"...Hiruzhan, let's ask if there's anything urgent."
On the side, Mito Katoen saw the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen talking more and more energetically. He was afraid that his sexual talk would delay the business, so he quickly interrupted.
"Yeah...too."
The Sandaime slowly took out his pipe, rubbed the flame with his fingers and lit it.
The ANBU below did not dare to neglect, and quickly recounted everything that happened when the Uchiha Ninja Army returned to the village.
"That's it?"
The Sandaime was a little bored, so the Uchiha formed a formation and tossed around for a while. Is it worth a special trip?
But he didn't know much, so he waved the ANBU to retreat.
"The Uchihas of this generation can do a lot of tricks."
After the ANBU retreated, the Sandaime said to the two advisors in a light tone.
"Uchiha acts so unscrupulously, it will definitely arouse the resentment of the villagers."
"That's right! Without the mirror behind you, all Uchiha's actions are purely self-defeating."
The two consultants had a lot of prejudices against Uchiha, and naturally they didn't have a good opinion of Uchiha either in words or in words.
The Sandaime also knew the character of his old friends, so he didn't take it to heart. He smiled and continued to discuss the issue of summoning the Ninja Army.
But I was also secretly frightened by the power of the Uchiha clan. According to the reports from the ANBU, the number of jounin in this ninja army was probably almost the same as the number of jounin in the new army composed of family ninjas from other ninja clans. , and if you include the chuunin among them, I'm afraid they can compete with the ANBU. But this is still part of Uchiha's strength.
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little more afraid of the Uchiha clan, and he was a little shaken by his previous idea of letting the police department stay behind.
But he couldn't say anything for a while, so he just continued to discuss the gathering of family ninjas and idle ninjas.
…
"Hiruzen!"
The three of them were talking animatedly in the Hokage's office when an angry Danzo pushed the door open and came in.
"You don't care about those wanton Uchiha, how did you become the Hokage!"
The three frowned and stared at the angry and graceless Danzo without saying a word, but they also felt disgusted in their hearts. Although they were old friends, this tone and words were definitely what a subordinate should say in public?
"...Although Uchiha struggled a bit today, it was also a failed move made by him who was dizzy and disappointed with himself. It can be criticized later, so why bother to go online like this?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo with a scowl on his face, took a deep breath from his pipe, and then exhaled a stream of thick smoke.
Calm down, my old friend, my own partner, I found it myself.
The Sandaime took another puff on his pipe to calm himself down.
"You treat such a big thing like a toss-up??? Hiruzen??? Are you under Uchiha's illusion!"
Danzo was shocked!
"There is no village in the Uchiha! They are acting recklessly! It is tantamount to rebellion! Just forget it!"
"Didn't they just disturb the people when they entered the village? Did they do anything else today?"
The Sandaime felt something was wrong. He and Danzo didn't seem to be on the line today, as if they were not talking about the same thing.
"They took the ANBU!"
"What!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadenen, and Koharu Koharu were all stunned for a moment, and then were shocked.
Although Uchiha was a little unscrupulous in the past, he was not so unscrupulous, and he never heard any reports from the direct ANBU!
"Which ANBU branch? Where is it deployed?"
Mito Menyan asked quickly.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe tightly in his left hand and stared at Danzo.
The atmosphere was a little solid for a while.
“…It’s my roots.”
Danzo hesitated for a while, and then spoke in a slightly lower voice.
"Today, the Uchiha suddenly left the village illegally to gather. I was worried that their intentions were evil, so I sent people to observe. As a result, the Uchiha arrested them without distinguishing right from wrong, and framed them as spies and took them to the police department..."
"Anbu training department..."
Naturally, the Sandaime was well aware of the so-called "roots" based on the self-titled ANBU training department led by Danzo.
"They were trained in secret. They don't have ninja numbers...and they don't have village registration..."
Danzo said with a little lack of confidence.
The Sandaime sighed, no one else could be caught by Uchiha so easily.
"Send someone to reprimand him, and let the police department punish the Uchiha who hurt his fellow villagers."
The Sandaime didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, Danzo was also an old friend of his, and he had a tendency to help his relatives rather than help others. However, he couldn't punish Uchiha too harshly and arouse Uchiha's rebellious mentality. It was appropriate to hand it over to the police department, but If the police department was unfair, it might be able to lead public opinion to attack the Uchiha who regard power as child's play, and further weaken the popularity of this clan.
"It's always taboo to hurt your comrades in the village... but it's also taboo to send ANBU to follow your comrades in the village, so let's forget it."
Mitomon Yan heard the hokage's words and knew the elegant meaning, so he spoke in an attempt to dispel Danzo's resentment.
"You guys..."
Danzo couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.
"So cowardly! Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings? That crazy clan shouldn't be so tolerant to them at all!"
Danzo screamed in anger.
"enough!"
The Sandaime's face darkened and he shouted angrily.
"As a consultant, how can I convince the public if I am so narrow-minded?"
"What's more, there are still non-staff personnel without ninja numbers." Mito Kadoyan also said.
"you……"
"Hiruzen! You will regret it!"
An angry Danzo walked away.
"Danzo! I am the Hokage!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was also angry, roared.
