The obsessive attitudes of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Kado made Mito Kadoen's face, as the advisory elder of Konoha, particularly dull.
But he just couldn't do it on the spot.
The monolithic Northwest Border Defense Force is already a trusted subordinate of the Uchiha clan and Hatake Sakumo from top to bottom. Even though he brought a team of Anbu with him, he faced the resistance and resistance of three powerful jounin who seemed to have become military leaders. Intimidated, but still unable to fight back.
At the same time, although he didn't show it on his face, he felt extremely frightened inside.
The commander of the Ninja Army ignored the Hokage's order and took the power of the Jonin to refute it as a matter of course to expand it in order to usurp the Hokage's authority. This was something that had never happened in Konoha.
This also means that the connections between wealthy families and small and medium-sized ninja clans or civilian ninjas have become public, and they have clearly established their own power plans.
Especially at this particularly critical time point, once Konoha's internal forces openly split and begin to confront each other, the consequences will be truly disastrous!
This is a major event related to whether Konoha F4 can be in charge of the Ninja Village for a long time!
After coming out of the Chinese army's tent, Mito Menyan thought more and more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"Go back to the village!"
Mito Kaden said firmly.
"yes!"
Although the accompanying Anbu were surprised, they still showed no objection to the instructions from the top management. They immediately arranged for personnel to pack their belongings at the residence of the garrison camp. Then the group immediately left the camp and rushed back towards Konoha.
As the actual commanders of the garrison camp, Uchiha Tokumitsu and the other three were naturally aware of Mito Kadoyan's movements at the first time.
Hatake Sakumo sighed, waved his subordinates who came to report to leave, and then went to bed with his clothes on, but he kept his eyes open and couldn't fall asleep.
After Uchiha Tokumitsu heard this, he clicked his tongue. He didn't know whether he was praising Mito Kadoba's decisive decision or mocking him for being so courageous as a consultant elder.
However, since this matter was done by three people together, there will inevitably be some sequelae, and some preparations must be made.
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a while, picked up a piece of paper and wrote "shuashua", and put it into a confidential envelope and handed it to the Uchiha ninja who came to report the news.
"Please submit this document to the Fire Gate Commander on my behalf."
After the Uchiha ninja took it, Uchiha Tokumitsu stopped thinking about it, simply washed up, and then fell asleep.
Uchiha Kamon was also a little surprised when he received the letter. They were all in the same camp. If there was anything he couldn't say directly, why go through a circle and have someone come and deliver the documents on his behalf.
After tearing open the confidentiality envelope, the content was unexpectedly simple and direct.
The fifth detachment of the Northwest Border Defense Force was also transferred to Gravel City in the north for a defense change. The first Uchiha detachment originally stationed there was withdrawn to Damingfu in the Country of Grass to perform guard duties.
The fifth detachment is a ninja army reorganized by Uchiha Tokumitsu in the subsequent rotation of ninjas after he was transferred to the Mobile Force as deputy commander. Uchiha Firegate also filled all the ninjas who were dismissed by him from the border troops. Among this quasi-new ninja army detachment, the leader is Ribei Sarutobi, who was born in the Sarutobi clan. In addition to a large number of Sarutobi clan members, many of his ninjas have some connection with the Sarutobi clan. A small ninja or civilian ninja.
"Remove the Uchiha detachment... and replace it with the annoying fifth detachment..."
Uchiha Kamon held his chin in his hands, trying to figure out Uchiha Tokimitsu's intentions.
After thinking for a while, Uchiha Kato suddenly felt something in his heart.
He quickly summoned the Uchiha ninja who was in charge of intelligence reconnaissance.
"Over in the north, has there been any movement in Iwagakure in the past two days?"
"Nothing for the time being...the frontline patrol troops have not reported any abnormalities..."
The intelligence ninja also felt a little jealous. He had just beaten Iwagakure to a complete defeat at the border. How could Iwagakure react so quickly...
Suddenly, his heart tightened.
He raised his head and found Uchiha Kamon staring at him with bright eyes.
"this……"
The intelligence ninja's forehead and back were covered with sweat, but he didn't dare to raise his hands to wipe it away.
"Ohnoki may be a little indecisive, but he has never been a timid person..." Uchiha Kato's tone was a little sinister, which made the intelligence ninja's heart beat faster.
"I will immediately arrange for cross-border reconnaissance!"
"Um?"
Uchiha Kamon's nasal voice seemed to be filled with doubts and dissatisfaction.
"What I mean is... I will lead a team to the north for reconnaissance soon!"
The intelligence ninja changed his words very sincerely based on his boss's tone.
"Um!"
Uchiha Kamon waved his hand and told the intelligence ninja to retreat.
"Be careful and don't let anyone know."
"yes!"
The intelligence ninja hurriedly retreated.
The Uchiha Fire Sect summoned Nara Yukihei again and said bluntly: "Advisor Yukihei, you should prepare a transfer order immediately!"
"yes!"
Before Uchiha Kamon could say the content of the transfer order, Nara Yukihei immediately straightened his back.
"The Fifth Detachment of the Northwest Border Defense Force is hereby ordered to be immediately transferred to Gravel City in the north to replace the Uchiha First Detachment originally stationed there!"
"yes!"
Although he was surprised by the word 'immediately' used in this transfer order, Nara Yukihei did not dare to ask, and immediately lowered his head and wrote quickly.
"The first Uchiha detachment that has been rotated will be transferred to the Daming Mansion in the Country of Grass to perform guarding duties!"
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Nara Yukihei, who was experienced in writing, completed the emergency transfer order three times, five times and two times, and handed it over to the Uchiha Fire Gate for inspection, and immediately began to publish the document.
After a while, there was a commotion in the camp, and a group of ninjas rushed to the north.
Uchiha Tokko's sleep was a little light, and he was woken up by the loud noise.
He stood up and listened for a while, then fell asleep again with satisfaction.
Hatake Sakumo also paid attention to the noise in the camp. After a while, he sighed and closed his eyes.
…
At noon the next day, a transfer order issued by the Hokage Building was rushed to the Grass Country garrison camp by the Anbu.
The content is also very direct and simple, which is to let Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo lead the mobile force back to Konoha to rest and prepare for the next combat mission.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Kato had a brief meeting in private, and after discussing the border response measures, they led their troops back together with Hatake Sakumo.
In order to stabilize the Uchiha clan's sphere of influence in the Country of Grass, Uchiha Tokumitsu also left the Tokumitsu Red Guards under his direct jurisdiction in the Country of Grass as an emergency reserve.
"Tokuguang-kun..."
On the way back, Hatake Sakumo stood next to Uchiha Tokko again just like before.
"Sakumo-kun, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Uchiha Tokumitsu could tell from his tone that Hatake Sakumo must have something to ask.
"Did Ribei's fifth detachment move north overnight to change defenses?"
"Yes, don't you know, Sakumo-kun?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Know……"
The honest man Sakumo was too embarrassed to lie, "It's just that such an obvious suppression is not very good..."
"Out of sight, out of mind, it's nothing."
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied casually, "Since the border troops are here, they must bear the blame that the headquarters deserves, right?"
"The Ninja World War is about to begin..." Hatake Sakumo wanted to say something, but stopped talking after he started.
"It's nothing. Let's hurry up and hurry up, lest the Hokage-sama be too anxious to sleep."
Uchiha Tokko said with a teasing tone.
"Too……"
At this time, far away in the Hokage Building in Konoha, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen and the advisor elders Mito Kadenen and Koharu Kadene had been discussing for a long time the blatant disobedience of the northwest border defense force and the reinforced mobile force.
Although the three of them hated the actions of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Kato, they also knew that the war was coming, and there was nothing they could do for the time being.
"Uchiha... must have deliberately taken advantage of the crisis to force the village to seize power!" Koharu went to bed and saw the tired and haggard look of his old friend Mito Kadoen, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"I'm fine..." Mito Kadoyan waved his hand seemingly cheerfully, "It's your duty to work for the village."
"It's just...the Uchiha clan, especially that brat Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hiruzen, do you have any ideas on how to deal with it?" Mito Katoyan threw the burden to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As a high-ranking advisor and elder, Mito Monobu was always a distinguished guest of his family wherever he went, whether in Konoha or in foreign ninja villages. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
"How about being transferred to Danzo's command?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen half-closed his eyes, leaning on the back of his chair and smoking his pipe.
"...That's inappropriate." After going to bed, Xiaochun thought for a while and shook her head.
Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Koharu turned to bed and sighed: "Danzo's direct subordinates are not enough to suppress the monolithic mobile force..."
Especially since most of the combat jounin are Uchiha clan members.
Although the words were not spoken, everyone present heard the meaning.
"Hiruzen, let Danzo's training department expand, otherwise it will be difficult for him." Mito Kadoen advised instead.
The Sandaime nodded slowly, then shook his head.
"Even if we expand now, Danzo will not have time to replenish the staff..." The Sandaime sighed, "Time, there is no time at all now."
All the major forces in the ninja world knew that the war was coming, but no one knew where the full-scale war would ignite and drag the entire ninja world into the meat grinder of war.
The five major countries with deep grievances, the small country unwilling to be left alone, and various underground forces... There are too many "tinderboxes" that may explode at any time in the ninja world.
"But there is one most important issue." Mito Monobu's face looked a little gloomy, "The wealthy family... must not reuse it again!"
"One Uchiha is enough to give you a headache." Koharu nodded in agreement as he went to bed.
"No need...what can we do?" The Sandaime laughed at himself, "Can we still have civilian ninjas just by relying on our family?"
"At least we can't let the wealthy families get any more military power!" Mito Monobu's face was extremely gloomy. "Those wealthy families... only have their own interests at heart, and don't care about the righteousness of the village at all!"
"If Uchiha is not used, it will be more difficult for Uchiha to check and balance after the war weakened the families after the war." The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe fiercely, "If Hinata is not used, then there will be no advantage in battlefield intelligence."
"Thousand Hands...the remaining clan members have confirmed their choice to retreat." Balls of smoke spewed out, rendering the office gray, just like the mood of the three of them at this time.
If the family ninjas of the ninja clan are recruited to fight, they must pay a corresponding price.
Maybe it's okay for ordinary small and medium-sized ninja clans, who can use rhetoric such as the will of fire to push the middle and lower classes of their families to coerce their elders; but those wealthy families are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't let hawks fly. Without enough benefits, they will not Give the power in your hands to the village.
"Besides...Mito-sama...his time is probably running out..."
When he said this, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.
"Jinchūriki...are you sure it's the little Uzumaki girl?"
Xiaochun was a little worried when he went to bed.
"I told you... don't worry." The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew the connotation of Koharu's words, "Mito-sama said that Kushina will receive education at the Senju Mansion and cut off contact with the remaining Uzumaki veins. There is no need to worry about the influence of the Uchiha clan who are friends with Uzumaki Ashina."
Uzumaki Mito was the most powerful support for Sarutobi and Hiruzen to successfully take over the position of the third generation and form the core high-level after the death of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama. Her current physical condition is also related to the stability of Konoha's political situation. .
In particular, Uzumaki Mito is not only the wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, but also the eldest princess of the Uzumaki clan. With her here, even if the contemporary Uzumaki Ashina clan leader is close to the Uchiha clan, the clan members of the remaining Uzumaki clan will not be with each other. The Third Hokage lineage was completely alienated.
In particular, in addition to his identity, Uzumaki Mito is also known to the world as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and he can freely control the power of the Nine-Tailed Beast, the strongest tailed beast.
With her here, Konoha is like a giant pillar holding the sky, and no matter what, the sky cannot fall.
But the fallen leaves will eventually fade away with the wind, and the future sky will be unpredictable.
In the face of time, no matter how powerful the ninja is, he will pass away with the passage of time and will surely pass away.
Especially at this juncture when the war was about to begin, Uzumaki Mitoru passed away at this time, which was a major psychological blow to the Jounin who knew about Konoha.
Moreover, the three of them, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, also faced two problematic people who were about to return to the village.
There are Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo who are openly disobedient and self-reliant, and the power camp they represent behind them.
Scratching their scalps, they couldn't come up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.
But they also know that they cannot allow Uchiha Tokumitsu, the Uchiha clan behind him, and the extremely popular Hatake Sakumo to continue to expand their power, otherwise it will inevitably develop to the point where the consequences will be serious and uncontrollable.
"Knock knock knock~"
There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in!"
An ANBU quietly opened the door and entered.
"Sir..." The ANBU saluted the Sandaime and then saluted the two advisors.
"Shinnosuke..."
The Sandaime continued to smoke his pipe without changing his tone because he was seeing his eldest son in front of him, "What's the matter?"
"According to the reports from the peripheral sentries, the mobile unit is about to arrive in the village..." Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Sarutobi's direct son who works in the ANBU, said softly: "Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tokumitsu are among them to lead their troops back."
Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, looked at each other.
So fast.
"Ask them to come here as soon as possible after they return to the village." The Sandaime drooped his eyes and seemed a little tired. "Besides... don't alarm the villagers. You can take the ANBU to wait for them."
"yes!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was ordered to leave.
The three people in the Hokage's office stopped talking.
What should come, must come.
Today a book friend commented, "Some chapters have good content but the titles are really average, which makes people not want to look forward to it and subscribe."
Regarding this point, I think it makes sense and will be improved in the future. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will try not to skip the order... After all, I have been as dehydrated as possible from the content. Personally, I feel that some of the plot settings are quite interesting~
In addition, I would like to ask for another ticket by the way. Please recommend monthly tickets.
