Hokage Building.
This center, brain, core of the Konoha Ninja Village... is the decision-making center related to Konoha, even the Country of Fire, and even the strongest armed force in the Ninja World. Every move here affects the trend and power of the Ninja World. The rise and fall of the building, but no matter how many times he saw it, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that this building was like a red bucket upside down on the ground. The building with no artistic beauty could hardly be regarded as Konoha's in terms of appearance and style. government centre.
He even felt that even the Uchiha family's somewhat childish cat-head-shaped police department building was more decent than this bucket building.
Two to three hundred staff from various Konoha tribes work in this Hokage building, maintaining the daily operations of the entire Konoha village.
"Tuk-tuk!"
Uchiha Tokko knocked twice on the door of the Hokage's office. "Excuse me, Jonin Uchiha Tokimitsu has been ordered to report."
"come in!"
A loud reply came immediately from the door.
Uchiha Tokko grabbed the door handle and pushed it gently.
The door slid open, and the noisy sound in the room poured out from the crack of the door that had just been opened like a lake after opening a floodgate. There was also a burst of thick gray smoke that lightly enveloped him.
"No one is addicted to cigarettes..."
Uchiha Tokko raised his eyebrows, walked into the room, looked around, and took in the layout and people in the office.
Mito Kabuto, Koharu who went to bed... and a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, whose face could not be seen clearly because he was in a corner with backlight.
But judging from the look of him sitting upright with his hands folded, it must be Danzo.
"I'm sorry to disturb your vacation, Tokumitsu-kun."
Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting behind the big desk, holding a pipe and a kind smile on his face, greeted Uchiha Tokimitsu with a smile, and looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu with eyes full of admiration. Just like an elder looking at a promising younger generation.
It seemed as if Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't know anything about beating up ANBU and delaying reporting.
"Hokage-sama." Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the other consultants in the room, took a few steps forward, and bowed slightly to the Hokage in the seat, "Jounin Uchiha Tokumitsu has come to report."
From the perspective of etiquette, Uchiha Tokumitsu's behavior was not very respectful, but there was nothing to criticize about it, as if the beating of the Anbu earlier never happened.
"You're welcome. You've worked really hard on the front line for such a long time. If it weren't for the recent difficulties in various matters, I wouldn't be in a hurry to disturb your rest."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gently knocked on his pipe, knocking off the tobacco that had been burnt to ashes, and took out the tobacco leaves again to refill. His slightly drooped cheeks still had a smile that made it difficult to tell the difference between true and false.
"That's all within my scope." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied solemnly, neither humble nor arrogant.
The foxes, one large and one small, exchanged simple greetings. The Sandaime did not mention the two Anbu at all, nor did he ask Uchiha Tokumitsu why he was so late. It was as if nothing had happened. What he showed in his conversation was the kindness and kindness that made people feel like spring breeze. Regardless of whether he should say it or not, this kind of affinity really set him apart from Uchiha.
It's no wonder that later generations Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, as geniuses supported by their families, were bewitched to betray the family camp. If they hadn't already had prejudices against the Sandaime, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't know if he could resist the Sandaime. Be sincere and polite to others with your speech and offensive.
But this also made Uchiha Tokumitsu become more vigilant. Even to death, he would not believe that Konoha F4 would be kind to an Uchiha.
"Sit down, don't stand, it's easier to talk when you sit down." The Sandaime filled the bowl with tobacco leaves, rubbed them with his fingers and lit them, took a big puff, and greeted Uchiha Tokko with a smile.
The smoke in the office became thicker.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was not polite, he gathered chakra and took a photo of the tables and chairs piled at the door, and sucked a chair over.
Putting the chair down gently, Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded gently to the two consultants sitting on the sofa beside him, and then sat down.
The two consultants also nodded slightly reservedly.
It's just that Danzo was sitting in the corner, and Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't pretend to see him.
"Okay, Tokumitsu-kun, this time I came here in an emergency because it is indeed about your duties that need to be arranged. I won't talk nonsense to you here." The Sandaime sat upright and stared at Uchiha with a serious look. Guang, "It's about the new mobile unit that you are about to be transferred to."
The meat show is coming.
As expected, he didn't get much rest, as the old thief Sarutobi still missed him as a child laborer.
"Hokage-sama, please give me your orders." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied with a hint of rigidity, his expression unchanged.
"Based on Sakumo Jōnin's suggestions and ideas, the village plans to mobilize elite ninjas to form a mobile force for special support tasks on the battlefield. This is an arduous task." The Sandaime looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu seriously, "Tokumitsu Jonin, are you willing to accept the village's commission and participate in the formation of this new combat force?"
"I am willing to accept the mission of the village." Uchiha Tokumitsu straightened his back and replied solemnly.
The Sandaime nodded slightly, picked up the bell on the table and shook it twice.
An ANBU floated in like a ghost.
"Go and summon Sakumo Jounin."
The ANBU was ordered to leave, and the Sandaime continued to talk to Uchiha Tokko about the newly formed mobile unit.
The concept of this mobile force was mainly derived from Hatake Sakumo's early military combat concept, which was improved after the last mission to the country of Taki with Uchiha Tokumitsu.
During the mission, he was deeply impressed by the elite ninja army of the Uchiha family led by Uchiha Tokumitsu.
With powerful and experienced jounin as the core output of combat, supplemented by chuunin or special jounin with special skills such as sealing, medical treatment, perception, tracking, etc. as combat assistance, the combat effectiveness and attack power that can be exerted are obviously stronger than traditional ones. An ordinary ninja army composed of three-person squads.
In other words, this mobile force will serve as a battlefield assault force composed of elite ninjas. Its main combat purpose is to perform major combat tasks such as attacking fortresses and beheading behind enemy lines.
"It's just...does this mobile unit have some overlap with ANBU in terms of combat functions?" Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed his doubts.
"Although ANBU is responsible for part of the special tactical assassination mission, after all, it involves too many affairs and its function in combat is not outstanding. This is why the village decided to agree to Sakumo Jōnin's proposal to form this mobile force... …“
The third generation's explanation did not convince Uchiha Tokko.
Will it be his turn to be in charge of a powerful force, a member of the Uchiha tribe? He wouldn't believe it to death.
The Sandaime handed over a folder and motioned for Uchiha Tokko to take it and look at it.
Opening the folder and taking a quick look, it was about the organization and composition of the mobile force. There are twenty-one main ninjas at the Jonin level, eighteen auxiliary ninjas, and ten support staff.
"The current situation in the village is indeed extremely tense. The manpower of various departments is also stretched thin. There is a shortage of people everywhere. Although the concept of the mobile unit is good, it is really difficult to fully deploy elite ninjas in the village..."
The Sandaime kept vomiting his bitterness.
This made Uchiha Tokko even more vigilant.
"So, the village hopes to recruit some personnel from the Uchiha clan to join the main combat personnel in the mobile force. However, this matter still requires Tokumitsu-kun's strong support..."
I see.
Not only is it not planned to let the Uchiha clan take charge of the newly formed powerful army, but the Uchiha also wants to recruit elite ninjas to join it...
This is probably why Uchiha Tokumitsu was able to serve as the deputy commander of the Mobile Force.
Although this force is indeed very powerful on paper, in the end it is only a special force responsible for combat tasks. Moreover, once a large-scale war breaks out, it will inevitably be deployed to various battlefields to act as a fire brigade to fill trenches. In this way, casualties are inevitable...
Therefore, the power of this force is as useless to the current Uchiha clan, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.
High emotional intelligence: The future may be promising.
Low EQ: Not very useful at the moment.
Uchiha Tokumitsu wondered if it was because the Northwest Border Defense Force failed to weaken the strength of the Uchiha clan, but was taken advantage of by the Uchiha clan. The Hokage clan was unwilling to accept this, so they agreed to do this. A group of troops came with the intention of weakening Uchiha's strength through continuous wars.
"Tokumitsu-kun, what do you think?" The smiling Sandaime interrupted Uchiha Tokumitsu's contemplation.
"Lord Hokage, the idea of a mobile force is naturally a good one..." Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered for a moment and replied: "It's just a matter of recruiting family ninjas to join the mobile force. It needs to be reported to the clan leader and elders before a decision can be made, so I don't agree. Dare to be good at specialization.”
"Tokumitsu-kun, you are serious. As the youngest servant leader of the Uchiha clan, recruiting ninjas is just a matter of words..." Sandaime took a puff of his pipe and said to Uchiha Tokumitsu with a smile.
This made Uchiha Tokko even more vigilant.
The position of Chief of Staff is a special honorary title within the Uchiha family. Not to mention outsiders, even ordinary members of the Uchiha family do not know that this title obtained by Uchiha Tokumitsu is now used by the third generation and Uchiha. Outsiders who are clearly on bad terms know...
All we can say is that the enemy is the family council of elders.
It is indeed a long way to go to clean up the Uchiha.
"The position of chief servant is just an honor within the family. It doesn't count. To recruit ninjas from the family, it really requires the decision of the clan leader and the chief elder." Uchiha Tokumitsu defended without changing his expression, "I just don't know. How many Uchiha ninjas will join the mobile unit?"
"How about twelve jounin?" The Sandaime still smiled kindly, "The Uchiha ninjas with three Magatama Sharingan will form an unparalleled powerful force to conquer the ninja world and beat other countries. There is nothing better than this. To promote the reputation of the Uchiha clan as the most powerful clan in the ninja world..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu deeply doubted that during the First Ninja War, the Senju clan was deceived to the point of losing their strength and depleted the whole family to the point of failure due to this reason.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"come in!"
It's Hatake Sakumo.
In other words, the commander of this new mobile force must be this man who even the Uchiha clan admires.
Uchiha Tokko sighed inwardly.
Being so close to the Uchiha clan, I don't know if Hatake Sakumo really doesn't care about the paradoxical political situation within Konoha or if he is really passionate and dedicated to the good of the village.
"Lord Hokage, Advisor Mito, Advisor Danzo...Advisor Danzo." Hatake Sakumo greeted several people in the office, and several people nodded implicitly in return, "Tokumitsu Jounin."
Uchiha Tokko nodded in return, "Sakumo Jounin."
The Sandaime also asked Hatake Sakumo to sit down, and then started chatting straight to the point, "Sakumo-kun, I am calling you here this time about the newly formed mobile unit that has been decided by the village..."
"Tokumitsu-kun, based on the village's previous decision, it has been confirmed that he will be transferred from the Northwest Border Defense Force to the Mobile Force as deputy commander." The Sandaime pointed at Uchiha Tokumitsu and said to Hatake Sakumo.
Uchiha Tokumitsu bowed slightly. Since it was confirmed that Hatake Sakumo would be the commander of the mobile unit, there was no harm in accepting the appointment.
"As for the combat ninja candidates for the mobile unit, some of them will be selected from the list of ninjas nominated by Sakumo-kun. For the vacancies, Tokumitsu-kun will be asked to take the trouble to recruit personnel from the Uchiha clan. In addition, as for the auxiliary ninjas in the mobile unit establishment, the village will draw from the medical department. , the sealing class will recruit elites to join, and at the same time, elites will be selected from ninja clans such as Hinata, Inuzuka, and Aburame..."
Hinata, Inuzuka, and Aburame were all powerful ninjas in the village who were good at tracking.
"Sakumo-kun, Tokumitsu-kun." The Sandaime explained clearly the composition of the mobile unit and asked the two of them, "Do you have any more questions?"
"No objection." Hatake Sakumo replied with his head raised.
The formation of this mobile force has also been his long-standing tactical concept. Now that he has got his wish, he naturally has no objections.
Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head, indicating that he agreed and had no objection.
"In that case, let's ask you two to make preparations." The Sandaime picked up his pipe and took a puff, "As for the mobile unit's location, equipment and other matters, the administrative department will make arrangements."
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo then stood up and resigned.
The smiles of the third generation became more and more amiable, like the old man selling goldfish.
…
"Tokumitsu-kun, I would like to trouble you about the selection of some of the main ninjas in the mobile unit..." After leaving the Hokage Building, Hatake Sakumo was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said to Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Since I'm partnering with Sakumo-kun, that's okay." Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled slightly, "It's just that the specific candidates need to be reported to the family and then appointed by the clan leader and elders, so I ask Sakumo-kun to accommodate me and the family. Let’s discuss it first.”
"That would be great." Hatake Sakumo said very happily, "With Tokimitsu-kun's help, the formation of the mobile force is already half successful."
Isn't it? There are a total of twenty-one Jonin in the Mobile Force, and the Uchiha clan will have twelve people, accounting for four-sevenths.
"Tokumitsu-kun, how about we go have a meal together at noon?" Hatake Sakumo invited Uchiha Tokumitsu, "The BBQ Q opened by Akimichi's family is very good. All the jonins in the village like to go there..."
"Uh... I already have an appointment with the Fugaku clan brother, so it's not a coincidence..." Uchiha Tokumitsu hesitated for a moment, but declined, "Next time, since we work together as partners, there will be many opportunities in the future. …”
The two exchanged a few words, then said goodbye, and agreed to meet again tomorrow to discuss the specific matters of the mobile unit.
