The leader of the Ninja Village is called Kage, and the Kage of Konoha Ninja Village is called "Hokage".
In Konoha, there are two theories about the origin of the name Hokage. One is that the Konoha Ninja Village is cooperating with the Country of Fire, and the other is that when the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan joined hands to build the village, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara each took the name of his best friend, the leader was named 'Hokage' by Hashirama Senju, and the village was named Konoha Ninja Village by Madara Uchiha.
But since Uchiha Madara left Konoha and was defeated by the First Hokage when he attacked the village, the publicity in the village about the origin of the name 'Hokage' has been completely biased towards the first theory; as for the history of Senju and Uchiha joining hands, in After experiencing dazzling experiences such as Madara Uchiha's departure, the Battle of the Valley of the End, Tobirama's death in battle, and the retirement of Senju, etc., they were gradually buried in the pile of old paper. Except for a small number of Uchiha tribesmen, there was no one left. People mentioned.
The Uchiha clan's resentment towards the Hokage clan also stems from this.
As one of the two major clans that founded the village, the Uchiha clan is undoubtedly the most powerful ninja clan in the Ninja Village and the entire ninja world after the Senju retired. In his eyes, the position of Hokage should be within the reach of the Uchiha clan.
In the era when the second generation was in charge of Konoha, since there was still a Uchiha Kagami as a disciple of Hokage, most of the clan still placed their hopes on Kagami, hoping that he could obtain the position of Hokage and realize the dream of the Uchiha clan; but Unexpectedly, after the death of the second generation, his disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi ascended to the position of Hokage with a mission that was difficult to tell whether it was true or false. The Uchiha Mirror, which had originally been high hopes for the Uchiha tribe, also fell in the first ninja war. , since then, the Uchiha clan has no representative in the top management of Konoha, and has been trapped in the police department with no promotion.
Fortunately, with the large-scale border conflict breaking out, it was also because the Hokage family misjudged the situation, thinking that the war was about to start, or they were eager to weaken the Uchiha clan, so they actually handed over an entire northwest border defense force to The Uchiha clan, but unexpectedly, the Uchiha clan was able to break free from the shackles of the clan. While taking the entire border force into its possession, it almost turned the Land of Grass into the territory of the Uchiha clan.
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Grass invited Uchiha Kamon to lead his team to the capital to take advantage of the situation. The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Grass was old and frail, but the successor he appointed was still young. In order to avoid chaos in the palace, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Grass The Daimyo invited Uchiha Homon to lead the family ninja army to his country to serve as a guard for the ceremony of naming his heir. He solemnly entrusted a long-term mission to the Uchiha clan, which was to provide protection for the Daimyo's legitimate son, Uchiha Homon. After consulting Elder Setsuna's opinion, Men accepted this task.
"So...the clansman is now the guardian ninja of the Daimyo's legitimate son in the Land of Grass?"
After Uchiha Kamon came back from the Kingdom of Grass, he talked to Uchiha Tokumitsu about what he had done recently.
"That's right. After all, there are twelve tribesmen staying in the capital of the Country of Grass."
Uchiha Tokko was also amazed by it.
"By the way, hasn't the Country of Grass always supported the Grass Ninja Village? Why did it suddenly assign important people to protect our clan?"
"Perhaps it's because the Grass Ninja Village is supported by the Kingdom of Grass that it came to us~ After all, the family has no roots or interests in the Kingdom of Grass. Accepting the protection mission also makes the current daimyo feel more at ease."
"...This is also the reason." Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that it was the same. After all, the Uchiha clan was very famous. Recently, they were killing everyone in the Country of Grass. Even the Iwagakure army of the Country of Earth was forced to hold on. , if he were a daimyo, he would rather hire Uchiha ninja at a high price and abandon those notorious grass ninjas.
"By the way, Uncle Kamen..." Uchiha Tokko asked with some doubts, "Why do nobles like daimyo and daimyo survive?"
"How do you say this?" Uchiha Kamon was stunned.
"In terms of the power controlled by the daimyo, they are far inferior to the ninjas. Why do no ninjas want to replace them?" This question of Uchiha Tokumitsu has actually puzzled him for a long time.
As a group of extraordinary powers, ninjas not only did not rely on their strength to gain direct control over their seemingly transcendent status, but were instead constrained by daimyo through tasks, funds and other means, which puzzled Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Well...Actually, what you said is similar to the situation during the Warring States Period." Uchiha Kato was also a figure in the late Warring States Period, so he still knew something about the past. "Did you know that during the Warring States Period, the ninja clan In fact, he is also a member of the nobility..."
"Uh..." This time it was Uchiha Tokko's turn to be stunned.
"My family was once a great noble that spanned the two countries of Fire and Thunder, as were Senju, Hinata and other thousand-year-old wealthy families..." Fire Gate Uchiha said with some emotion.
"Then why..."
"In the Warring States Period, every family is in danger, not only the secular nobles, but also our ninja clan." Uchiha Kamon looked solemn, "If an ally may rebel at any time, the ninja clan may kill women and children in the rear at any time when they go on an expedition. After living in the troubled times of Erzhaowayu for thousands of years, everyone yearns for a peaceful and peaceful life. Whether it is a secular noble or a wealthy Ninja clan, compared with a peaceful and stable settlement, the vain reputation of the secular world is not worth it. As soon as I mentioned it..."
Uchiha Tokko was still a little puzzled.
Uchiha Kamon also saw Uchiha Tokumitsu's confusion from his expression.
"The Ninja Village... is a harbor, a harbor where women and children can be entrusted. It allows the Ninja Army to go on an expedition without having to worry about whether the so-called allies in the rear have rebelled. This is enough." Uchiha Kamon sighed, "And this is Hashira The reason why Lord Ma is known as the 'God of Ninja' is that he ended the troubled times and the 'one country, one village' system he advocated also reestablished order in the ninja world and made peace possible."
"But the scale of the Ninja World War is far greater than the Ninja War during the Warring States Period." Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed out a problem.
"That's true, it's true, but what about the civilians?" Uchiha Kamon poured himself a cup of tea and drank it lightly.
"Civilians..." Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned again. He had always regarded unfamiliar ninjas as nothing, let alone civilians who had no sense of existence.
"Common people during the Warring States Period were like grass, but now they can at least live." Uchiha Kato's face was a little serious, "The great thing about Senju Hashirama is that he redefined the order. No matter how bad or unreasonable this order is, it is worse than It’s better to live in the chaotic and chaotic Warring States period with unbridled killing.”
Uchiha Demitsu was silent.
"Although secular nobles such as daimyo do not have as powerful a force as ninjas, in an era when the ninja clan's wealthy families belong to ninja villages, relying on bureaucrats, samurai, and monks can still govern the secular world. We ninjas only need to pass the mission It’s enough to obtain donations in other ways, which is why the ninjas are willing to give up their secular status and join the ninja village.”
"But at present, the interests of the ninja clan have been obviously eroded by the village." Uchiha Tokumitsu pointed out a key issue.
"This actually started with the second generation. Tobirama believed that the ninja clan was too strong and was not conducive to the implementation of the so-called 'Will of Fire', so he wanted to suppress the ninja clan and support the common people." Uchiha Kamen showed disdain on his face, "There was also a time when The farce of the Senju going into seclusion, disbanding most of the family's strength, and the exhaustion of the Ninja World War, brought the majestic Senju clan to its deathbed. He is far worse than Hashirama-sama."
"The worldly ones belong to the nobility, and the extraordinary ones belong to the ninjas." Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows slightly, "The only ones who are unlucky are the ninjas."
"Haha~ Tokimitsu-kun is indeed a true Uchiha." Uchiha Kamen was overjoyed when he heard this, "Actually, it's not just my clan, other ninja clans are also very dissatisfied with Sarutobi and the others."
"Is it just too weak?"
"Yes, and we are too strong." Uchiha Kato's face was a little proud again, "Our clan is the well-deserved number one ninja clan in the ninja world. Naturally, that monkey Sarutobi is a little afraid of us."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was speechless, what's there to be proud of. "The foundation of a ninja is strength. Fame is too illusive."
"I have to say, Tokumitsu-kun, your thoughts are very similar to Madara-sama." Uchiha Homon poured himself another cup of tea and continued to drink it carefully.
"The Hokage's duty is to safeguard the interests of the village and provide a safe haven for the reproduction of the Ninja clan. However, since Hashirama-sama's death, during Tobirama's administration until now, they have deviated from this goal of building the village. , instead began to pursue the illusory 'Will of Fire'." Uchiha Kamon racked his brains to organize the language in his mind, and said slowly, "So, our clan's dissatisfaction with the Hokage family also comes from this, not only It's because the family is not destined for the position of Hokage, and it's also because they regard the position of Hokage as a private property and grant it privately between master and disciple."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was stunned again. This statement was different from what he knew in his previous life.
"It doesn't matter, Tokumitsu-kun, you will understand it gradually." Uchiha Kato laughed a few times, then stood up and left. He had emptied his stomach of what he had heard from the family elders, and any more words would reveal the truth. , so I have to run quickly.
Uchiha Tokumitsu sat alone in the tent, recalling what Uchiha Kamon revealed in his words.
The Ninja clan and the common people, the Ninja clan and the Hokage, and the Hokage and the common people are like the three corners of a triangle, independent of each other and with checks and balances. As the superiors, the Hokage family naturally has the urge to expand the scope of power and control the Ninja Village; and As a ninja clan with its own strength, they will not miss the opportunity to enrich their own strength and make profits for their people. In this way, the struggle between the ninja clan and Hokage is inevitable.
"It's such a bad world." After thinking for a long time, Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head and threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind.
"It seems that only power is the truth." Uchiha Tokumitsu stretched out his left hand, and a purple chakra flame jumped out of it, and transformed into a fire cat, fire crow, etc. with his thoughts.
The system, or order, of one village and one country, which he considered to be extremely childish, could still be maintained to this day after Senju Hashirama's death. It has to be said that Senju Hashirama's 'ninja' was based on his strength and reputation. The title of God is well deserved.
Although Uchiha Kamon's words were a bit unexpected, it was common sense if you think about it carefully.
Just like people who have lived in a relatively peaceful environment in both past and present lives, it is difficult to understand the desire of people in troubled times for a peaceful and pure land.
It's like he, as an only son in his previous life, sometimes didn't quite understand personal sacrifice based on family interests. It's just that since he has been a member of the Ninja clan in this life, and he is also the most tyrannical and outrageous Uchiha in the Ninja clan, then no matter right or wrong, he must stand in the ranks of Uchiha. This is purely a matter of butt, and it has nothing to do with good or evil. Right or wrong doesn't matter.
Just like what he argued with Jiraiya yesterday, since he is a ninja of the ninja clan in this life, he must think from the perspective of the ninja clan. If he can still be bewitched by the so-called "Hokage thinking" after two lifetimes, then he It's better to die early.
"Nobuhiko-kun." Uchiha Tokumitsu called Uchiha Nobuhiko, who was in charge of today's security affairs, "I have a letter that I want to send back to the family. Can your ninja cat deliver it on my behalf?"
"That's no problem, Tokimitsu-sama." Uchiha Nobuhiko said respectfully.
Uchiha Tokumitsu plans to write down what he has seen, heard, and thought since he led the army out, as well as his recent practice, especially the content of the so-called "Fire Release" that he has explored, and will share it with his father Uchiha Nakagen and Setsuna. Let’s communicate with the elders, and maybe we can gain new insights by drawing parallels.
…
Just when Uchiha Tokumitsu began to carefully consider the words to write a letter home, and when Hokage Building F3 was worried about the loss of power of the Northwest Frontier Force, as the well-deserved powder keg of the ninja world - the Land of Rain released a new version!
After several fights with Konoha, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, the 'demigod' Sanshouyu Hanzo, and his subordinate Ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village began to attack Sunagakure entrenched here in the western border area of the Land of Rain!
The Earth Country Iwagakure Ninja Village, who stationed troops in the northern border of the Rain Country, was also a good at sneaking around and acting according to the opportunity. Seeing that the main combat power of the Rain Ninja Village was deployed at the western border of the Rain Country, they also took the opportunity to send their troops south. They plundered wildly in the Kingdom of Rain, and both nobles and commoners were indispensable for their vicious hands.
For a time, the border area of the Kingdom of Rain was in chaos.
Konoha, Sunagakure, Iwagakure...the three major ninja villages have all set up ninja army camps in the Land of Rain, and have also occupied many border cities. As the three major ninja villages continue to send more personnel, the territory of the Land of Rain has The situation has become increasingly critical.
The eyes of the ninja world were also attracted to this unfortunate country where it rained all day long.
In comparison, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, the Kusa no Kuni, and the Kusano Ninja Village, which are controlled by the Uchiha clan. Due to the influence of the Hokage's edict, after wiping out the underground forces and suppressing Iwagakure, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force has already Becoming the most powerful ninja gathering area in the Kingdom of Grass, the rules and will of the Uchiha clan began to take root in the Kingdom of Grass and the northwest region of the Kingdom of Fire.
