Regarding Uchiha Tokumitsu's visit to the Senju clan to meet Uzumaki Mito, a manic undercurrent was set off in Konoha Village.
Although the senior ninjas and various ninja clans in the village are extremely concerned about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, on the surface, they still look like I don't know anything.
Just for a while, the visits of relatives and friends of the ninja clan suddenly became more frequent.
Uchiha Tokko still followed his own plan and strengthened the intensity of his daily practice. The secrets of fire escape treasured by the Uchiha clan are completely open to Uchiha Tokko, allowing them to be read and studied. Moreover, the Uchiha clan also sent personnel to stay in the Uchiha clan. While handing over the secrets of the Uzumaki sealing technique, they simultaneously selected the Uchiha clan. The tribesmen who were carefully selected to receive training in sealing techniques were explained and taught.
There is nothing we can do about this. The secrets of the sealing technique that the Uzumaki clan has accumulated over thousands of years are vast, and the terminology and codes used in each era are different. Even if you get a complete set of information, if you want to decipher the translation without being taught by an expert, you don't know how much trouble you have to go through. The Year of the Monkey and the Month of the Horse.
The close relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan also attracted the attention of everyone in Konoha.
Especially after the police department set up a sentry box in the Uzumaki clan area, public opinion among the Konoha ninja clan was even more uproar.
Suddenly, the close relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan became the most important topic among the major ninja clans and senior ninjas.
The foundation of Konoha is the alliance politics between the powerful ninja clans. Since the major ninja clans have followed it from the Warring States Period to the present day, they naturally have two brushes in terms of political acumen.
Therefore, the powerful and "marginalized" ninjas of various ninja clans sent their greetings to the Uchiha clan one after another.
Just like the aristocratic families during the Three Kingdoms period, each ninja clan has its own personnel responsible for exploring potential stocks and making speculation, and they place bets separately to ensure that the family does not suffer a devastating blow in the changing times.
Of course, except for the stubborn Uchiha clan.
Except for the important letters from Senju, Uzumaki and the vassal ninja clan under Uchiha, Uchiha Tokko ignored all the invitations and invitations sent by various ninja clans openly and secretly, and left them all to the family for unified processing.
Although the conservative tribesmen criticized Uchiha Tokumitsu, they were also keen on socializing with other ninjas who took the initiative to show their kindness. In the eyes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, this was also considered a more effective method. Garbage recycling.
Although the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan will not be completely resolved by Uchiha Tokumitsu's meeting, the weak Uzumaki remnant's active show of goodwill and the Hokage Building's indifference to this will also It really allowed the major ninja clans to see some opportunities.
Although the ninjas do not like Uchiha, it does not mean that they will definitely support Naruto.
The Hokage family, especially the Third Hokage, has worked tirelessly to strengthen centralization since they came to the throne, which has also made the ninjas feel threatened.
Especially the juniors who are studying in the Konoha Ninja School. They talk about the will of fire, and when asked carefully, they all aim at Hokage. How can this not make the old people in power in the ninja clan anxious.
If the ninja clan is not united, is it still a ninja clan?
Taking advantage of Uchiha's momentum, the wind stirred up by the ninja clan had a huge impact on Konoha.
The Sandaime couldn't sit still either.
He originally thought that maybe it was because of the unfavorable situation in rescuing the Uzumaki Country and Danzo's incorrect remarks in the Hokage's office that Uzumaki Mito had some objections. He could just deal with it coldly for a while and then visit Uzumaki Mito in person.
But what I didn't expect was that with such a delay, the wave of ninjas spontaneously moving closer to Uchiha would intensify.
Even the ninjas who are openly close to the Uchiha clan are "marginal people" among the major ninja clans. Although their strength is pretty good, they have little status in the family. Generally speaking, the ninja clan still supports Naruto. The building is tightly united around the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, but anyone with a little bit of discernment and political experience can see through this little trick.
Therefore, a person with a subtle identity and high status came to visit Uchiha Tokimitsu in person.
Of course, it wouldn't be Danzo.
As the situation in the Land of Rain became increasingly tense, the erring Hokage assisted Danzo Shimura and was sent back to the Land of Rain early to dispatch troops to guard and guard, so as not to be upset by Mito Uzumaki seeing him wandering around the village.
The one who came to visit alone was Tsunade.
Nominally, he came under the banner of returning to visit Uchiha Tokimitsu.
Naturally, Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't avoid the visit of this "Princess of Konoha" by name.
"Tsunade-hime."
Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was standing at the entrance of the clan, greeted Tsunade who came alone from a distance.
The Uchiha members of the Police Department were also deployed to guard the surrounding areas, and they did not neglect Tsunade's arrival alone.
"Tokumitsu-kun." Tsunade also showed her etiquette skills as a direct descendant of the powerful Senju family of the Ninja clan. "On Mito-sama's order, I came to visit your family to communicate with each other."
"Tsunade-hime, you're welcome. It's just that my humble abode is too simple to welcome you. I've specially prepared a beautiful place to treat you. Please follow my gentle steps."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also maintained his respect for Tsunade, inviting him to enter the Uchiha clan, and explaining the history of Uchiha one by one along the way.
This was the first time Tsunade walked into the Uchiha clan.
Different from the semi-open garden buildings of each house in the Senju clan, the houses of the Uchiha clan are relatively uniform in shape, with walls all around, so that each house does not interfere with each other, and the Uchiha Uchiha clan emblem is engraved everywhere.
This also reflects the temperament of the Uchiha clan, which is withdrawn and proud.
Being solitary is more of a negative impact caused by the Sharingan, especially the powerful Sanmagatama Uchiha jounin. Most of them don't like to socialize very much. They mostly stay in their own little world, polishing their ninjutsu and pondering their own thoughts.
The pride comes from the fact that the Uchiha clan has remained as strong as ever for thousands of years. As a powerful ninja family with the same reputation as the Senju, Uchiha's arrogance is deep-rooted and logical.
As a direct lineage of the Senju, Tsunade is not only proficient in medical ninjutsu, but has also read a lot of research materials on the second generation Senju Tobirama, including many such as "Research Report on Uchiha Mental State" or "Sharingan and the Evil Clan" "Dialectical Relationship" is a shady Uchiha research material.
Therefore, when Uchiha Tokumitsu introduced to him the old sites, scenery and historical stories behind the clan land along the way, although Tsunade appeared to be listening carefully on the surface, she was actually looking at Uchiha Tokumitsu secretly. Every move of light.
By the way, Tsunade also compared the changes in tone, mood swings, and range of movements of Uchiha Tokumitsu's narration with those described in Senju Tobirama's research report.
It turns out that Tokumitsu Uchiha is a non-standard Sanmagatama Uchiha.
This also piqued Tsunade's interest.
Tsunade had very little contact with Uchiha Tokimitsu. The first time was in the Hokage's office, where she showed a tough and arrogant attitude and did not take the Hokage's assistant seriously; the second time was in the Senju Clan, where she behaved with a clear conscience. things; and earlier, the rumors Tsunade heard about Uchiha Tokumitsu were often words such as cruelty, ferocity, bloodthirsty, and aggressiveness.
This also intersects with Uchiha Tokumitsu's interesting words when explaining family history today, and outlines a more complex and diverse atypical image of Uchiha.
Of course, Uchiha Tokko didn't know that he had become a non-standard product in Tsunade's eyes.
The banquet to receive Tsunade was held in a private banquet hall in the Uchiha clan; Uchiha Tokumitsu also prepared banquet dishes such as sake, box crab, pan-fried monkfish, squid stew and other dishes based on Tsunade's hobbies he heard from hearsay.
Although Konoha has a ban on underage drinking, this rule is in vain for the upper-class ninja clan. Soon, the two began to politely discuss their food.
"Tokumitsu-kun, is the Uchiha clan involved in the recent ninja trend?"
After three drinks, Tsunade turned away the waiter and spoke seriously to Uchiha Tokko.
"The Ninja clan?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows, "The Uchiha clan is a member of the Ninja clan, what do you think?"
At this time, Uchiha Tokumitsu showed the same arrogant look that Tsunade saw when she was in the Hokage's office for the first time.
"Grandma Mito met you and Sakumo-kun more to thank you for your contribution in the war in the Uzumaki Country. The old man does not want to see the rift between the Konoha Ninja clan and the village."
Maybe it was because she was drunk, but Tsunade's words were very direct.
"Tsunade-hime." Uchiha Tokumitsu also drank half a glass of sake, his face slightly red under the influence of alcohol, "How old is the history of the Ninja clan? How old is Konoha?"
Tsunade straightened her back and looked at Uchiha Tokko seriously.
"The reason why the Ninja clan chose Konoha is because they believed in the peaceful vision of Hashirama-sama and Madara-sama, believed that Konoha would protect them, and believed that Konoha would allow the family to thrive and no longer suffer from war." Uchi Podlight said slowly: "Do you think it's right? Tsunade-hime."
"That's true." Tsunade partially agreed with this, "But as a member of Konoha, you should also support the village and contribute to the safety and stability of the village, right?"
"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied affirmatively: "So the ninja clan also dispatches family ninjas to fight for the village during the jounin meeting."
"So, Tokumitsu-kun." Tsunade was not satisfied with Uchiha Tokumitsu's attitude of skirting the topic, "Then, what is the purpose of the recent alliance between the Uchiha clan and other ninja clans?"
"It is normal for the Ninja clan to fight each other." Uchiha Tokumitsu still downplayed, "Since the Warring States Period, Uchiha and Hagoromo, Senju and Uzumaki, Hinata and Kaguya, and Inoka Butterfly ...The major ninja clans can continue to do so to this day, who can be without an ally?"
"Tokumitsu-kun, Uchiha's actions have torn the unity of the village apart."
"This sentence was probably said by your teacher, Mr. Hiruzen." Uchiha Tokumitsu squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was a little drunk, and drank another glass of sake. "Other than him, no ninja would say such a thing. Come on."
"Isn't that right?"
Tsunade also frowned.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her pearls shining brightly.
Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but think of a few idioms, and then drank another glass of wine.
"This sentence...is either correct or incorrect." Uchiha Tokko said a correct nonsense.
When Tsunade heard this, she looked unhappy and very dissatisfied.
"Tsunade-hime, the Hokage Building's vigilance and exclusion of the Uchiha clan are all seen by the ninja clan." Uchiha Tokumitsu breathed out slightly, as if to dispel the alcohol by speaking, "Although we Uchiha The relationship between the Wave clan and other ninja clans is relatively ordinary, but they are still ninja clan after all, and they are still a thousand-year-old wealthy family that should be the leader of the ninja clan."
"Tokumitsu-kun... Whether you are a ninja from the ninja clan or a civilian ninja, you are all a member of Konoha." Tsunade directly picked up the bottle and drank, "Why do you want to deliberately emphasize the difference in everyone's identity!"
"Because it is indeed different!" At this time, Uchiha Tokko was very serious. "The ninjas of the ninja clan are different from the civilian ninjas, especially the blood successor ninja clan. This is a fact and an irrefutable fact."
"You cannot deny the differences between the ninja clan and civilians just because of so-called political correctness, and force everyone to look at the problem from the same perspective. This is also very unfair to the ninja clan."
Tsunade didn't know what to say at this time.
"The relationship between ninjas and civilian ninjas includes everything from the ninja inheritance and ninjutsu system to the quality of kunai and the number of detonating charms... these are all different. How can we force everyone to be fair?" Uchiha Tokumitsu began to mess around and confuse concepts, "The equality that Konoha pursues cannot be achieved by eroding the interests of the ninja clan and subsidizing civilians, which is an unsustainable way."
Tsunade sighed.
Putting down the bottle, she didn't know what to say.
As the princess of the Senju clan and the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, she has been respected since she was a child. Naturally, she understands the differences between the ninja clan and the common people, and is aware of the conflict between interests in Konoha.
"It doesn't take a day for a drop of water to penetrate a stone, and it doesn't take a day to freeze three feet of ice." Uchiha Tokumitsu stopped drinking and twirled the wine glass in his hand, "Since the era of the second generation, the ninja clan has begun to have opinions. This conflict is divided into priorities. In the past, everyone was afraid of Uchiha, but now the ninja clan has begun to be wary of Naruto."
"Ninja clan..." Tsunade said the word slightly.
"If one day, the Uchiha clan dies silently under the suppression of the Hokage clan..." Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his head and looked directly at Tsunade, "Tsunade-hime, what will be the fate of Konoha? "
Tsunade took another deep breath.
The number of Jonin of the Uchiha clan accounts for about one-fifth of Konoha. They are a core force that cannot be ignored, and the police department system controlled by the Uchiha clan is Konoha's last barrier.
Losing the Uchiha clan is equivalent to losing one-fifth of their high-end combat power. At the same time, the last line of defense in Konoha's base area is also useless. The consequences of this are unimaginable.
"Why is this so..." Tsunade whispered, "Has the Uchiha clan... become so pessimistic about the relationship with the village to such a bad level?"
"Yes, why is that so." Uchiha Tokko nodded, "So, it's just that the ninjas who are proficient in survival have begun to place bets. There is nothing to pay attention to, right? Tsunade-hime..."
Tsunade silently drank another glass of wine.
