Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo led the ninja army back to the village at a slow pace.
After Gein's battle with Kirigakure and Nebe, many of his ninja troops were injured. Even after emergency bandaging and treatment, they were still unable to move forward at full speed. In addition, they still had to wait for replies from various border troops.
Although Hatake Sakumo was not willing to force the Sandaime to abdicate at this time, nor did he support expanding the scope of the purge, he did not mind using this to weaken the authority of the Hokage and expand the voice of the Jonin class.
Uchiha Tokumitsu also expressed support for Hatake Sakumo's idea. Although he failed to fully achieve the goal he wanted, expanding the power of the jounin class would also be beneficial to the Uchiha clan, which has the largest number of jounin.
Moreover, after making this concession, Hatake Sakumo also expressed his support for the Police Department’s demands for restructuring and responsibilities and authority.
At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu also secretly asked his tribesmen to send messages to the family through ninja cats, so that they could be prepared for the Hokage's possible madness.
…
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo stopped twenty kilometers away from Konoha, and their Uchiha ninja troops and mobile troops also stationed on the spot.
The station is located just outside Konoha's warning circle and outside the city defense strike circle.
As a place in the Kinki region of Konoha, the abnormal gathering of ninja troops was naturally quickly discovered by the barrier class and the ninjas who came and went on missions, and the information was quickly submitted to the Hokage's office.
"Let's talk about it. What conditions should we offer to Sakumo and Uchiha?"
After receiving the information, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally. He couldn't just leave his grudges alone after the death of his friend, but also had to find a way to clean up the mess. This made him, the Hokage, feel extremely aggrieved.
"This matter is basically a violation of orders and has nothing to do with the village..."
Xiaochun whispered as he turned to bed.
"impossible……"
Before the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen could say anything, Mito Kadenen denied this statement: "Hatake Sakumo may still be able to fool him, but as for Uchiha..."
When Xiaochun heard the words, he was also silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a suffocating cigarette.
The Hokage's office then became dead silent.
"Hiruzhan, let me go talk to them..."
After a while, Mito Kadoyan volunteered and spoke out to break the deadlock.
"……Thanks a lot."
After thinking for a while, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and agreed to go to the Ninja Army station outside the village to negotiate with Uchiha Tokko and Mito Kaden.
"You know the bottom line. I won't interfere with the specifics..." Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on his pipe and said slowly: "The village cannot be in chaos. Everything else is easy to talk about..."
"...I understand." Mito Menyan nodded in agreement, "It's just the root side..."
"Shinnosuke should have taken care of it..." After filling the pipe again, Hiruzen Sarutobi lit the tobacco with one stroke and took a deep puff.
Thick smoke obscured the face behind the haze.
At this time, another ANBU knocked on the door and entered, handing over a note.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at it and handed it to the two advisors.
"The police department has all shrunk and returned to the Uchiha and Uzumaki tribes..."
The expressions of the two advisors became more gloomy.
"I guess the ninjas probably know it by now..."
"Without further ado, I'll go right away..." Mito Menyan stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, another ANBU came in to deliver news.
"Both the chief officers of the Northwest Border Defense Force and the Northern Border Defense Force led their troops back without authorization and camped in the same place as Uchiha Tokimitsu and Hatake Sakumo..."
After the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the information, he could no longer maintain his expressionless state.
Immediately, another Anbu came to report, saying that the Ninja clan was urgently recalling their clan members.
The bad news just keeps coming!
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo were stationed outside, two border troops returned without authorization from the Hokage, and Uchiha ninjas from the police department suddenly disappeared on the street...
All of this, as long as the ninja leaders are not fools, they will know that there may be some problems in the village.
"I'll go talk to Sakumo and the others first..."
Mito Kadoyan immediately stood up and opened the door to leave.
On the high wall in the east of Konoha, a group of ninja leaders gathered together, looking at the movements of the Uchiha ninja army and border troops in the distance.
After arranging family affairs, they immediately got together to share information with each other and observe Uchiha's every move.
"The elder Mitomon has come out..."
The old patriarch of the Moonlight Family noticed the figure walking out of the Hokage Building out of the corner of his eye, and immediately suppressed his voice and whispered.
"Where to go?"
"Either go to the Uchiha clan or the station outside the village!"
"What the hell is Uchiha doing!"
An elder of the Takashu clan who had an old grudge against Uchiha complained loudly.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on the high wall.
"That's not true..." The elder of Gao Shu's family was also a little short of breath and said calmly.
"It shouldn't be..."
The head of the Nara family thought for a moment and gave his own judgment, "With Uchiha's character, if he really planned to..., he wouldn't just stay outside like this."
Although he did not say it directly, the elders of all the ninja clans present knew the meaning behind the words of Elder Takashu and the head of the Nara family.
After all, everyone in Konoha knows Uchiha's heart.
When the second generation Senju Tobirama was in charge of Konoha, the Uchiha clan still had communication with the village because there was still an Uchiha mirror. However, after Hiruzen Sarutobi became the Hokage, the relationship between the upper management of the village and the Uchiha clan The relationship gradually fell into the abyss from then on.
Although they are all ninjas, the ninja clans in Konoha are not very willing to deal with Uchiha, and they will not defend Uchiha.
Unlike the Hyuga clan, which keeps its own rules, the Uchiha clan's aggressiveness makes people wary.
Moreover, the strength of the Uchiha clan is too strong. If the clan is really allowed to have a status that matches its strength, then the interests of other ninja clans will definitely be eroded.
Therefore, in the past, all ninja clans had an attitude of sitting back and watching the fight between the Hokage and Uchiha.
Although after Uchiha Tokumitsu's repeated military exploits, a small number of side clan members moved closer to the Uchiha clan under the hint of the Ninja clan's senior leaders, this was just a habitual diversification of investment. Whether it was the Ninja clan senior leaders or the Hokage clan's This doesn't matter much.
"By the way...why didn't you see Danzo-sama?"
The head of the Inuzuka family seemed to suddenly think of something, and blurted out: "He shouldn't be missing at this time!"
The top brass of each ninja clan also cheered up.
yes! Where's Danzo!
It's really incredible that the notorious Uchiha enemy chose not to show up at this time!
"Hey! Master of the Hyuga family, have you seen Danzo?"
An impatient ninja clan leader asked the Hyuga clan leader.
The Hyuga clan leader did not defend himself and his clan members as usual for not opening their eyes in the village, but simply shook his head to express his ignorance.
Although the Hyuga clan leader had no other special sources of information, before he got the news and came to Gaoqiang, he had already turned on his Byakugan at home and observed for a while to see if there was any unusual movement in the village.
The only abnormality discovered is that the barrier at the root base has disappeared.
Although due to the limitations of his pupils, he was unable to penetrate the soil and peer into the actual scene of the root base, but combined with the performance of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo and the anomalies of the police department, as a wily clan, he could naturally guess To some extent the truth behind it.
"Ryoma stayed in the family's insect nest and suddenly ran away yesterday..."
The oil matriarch, who had always had no sense of presence, suddenly spoke up and burst out a big melon.
Everyone was startled when they realized that the Aburame Clan Leader was actually here.
"The insect nest went berserk...did the dragon and horse die in the battle?"
The mountain chief asked tentatively.
The Aburra matriarch nodded silently.
Things are getting big now...
Aburame Ryoma was not only one of the few strong men of the Aburame clan, but also Danzo's right-hand man. The reason for his death was associated with the fact that Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo jointly stationed troops to spy on the village, and the advisor elder Mito Kadeni took the initiative. Going out to communicate in the village... Although they didn't say it clearly, as senior Riddlers, everyone could naturally deduce the truth.
"Sakumo-kun actually got together with Uchiha..."
After a while, the mountain clan leader sighed consciously or unconsciously.
The senior ninja clan members seemed to be unaware and watched Mito Kadeni walking towards the Uchiha ninja army's station.
"It's been a troubled time ever since..."
The head of the Nara family shook his head helplessly.
…
Regarding the arrival of Mito Gate Flame, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not deliberately show off, but asked people to take him straight to the center of the residence.
"How do you plan to handle this matter, Hokage-sama?"
Hatake Sakumo asked Mito Kadeni to sit down, and Uchiha Tokumitsu went straight in.
"The roots are disbanded and there will no longer be an internal ninja organization."
Mitomonyan gave the first condition.
"Not enough! Far from enough!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu shook his head and refused: "Because of Danzo's frame-up, in the battle with Kirigakure, more than fifty elites of our clan were killed. How can such a blood feud be made up for by disbanding the roots!"
"How are you being treated?"
Mito Menyan lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Ninjas trained at the Police Preparatory School must be certified and registered if they wish to serve the village according to their personal wishes, and must not be stopped for any reason!"
"The village can recognize the genin registration issued by the Police Preparatory School, but future promotions must be assessed by the village!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment and agreed, but added: "Ninjas who have passed the training of the Police Preparatory School can be called the Police Department before their level, such as Police Department genin, etc."
"Can!"
Mito Kaden felt that this would better distinguish the personnel from the police camp, so he happily agreed.
Uchiha Tokko smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that people in this world still don't know the power of identity politics.
But he still insisted: "The Police Department's restructuring plan must not be blocked, and from now on, it must not interfere with the Police Department's performance of official duties!"
"impossible!"
Mito Kadoen was furious, stood up and roared: "The Police Department is also one of the branches of Konoha. Doesn't the Hokage have the authority to manage and govern! If this is the case, then it is better to start a war immediately!"
"Mr. Mitomon, please come back!" Uchiha Tokumitsu showed his Sharingan with murderous intent.
"You two calm down..." Hatake Sakumo quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Why don't you two take a step back? We are both Konoha ninjas, so there is no need to get into such a tense situation..."
Mito Kadoen and Uchiha Tokumitsu both snorted coldly, silently acknowledging Hatake Sakumo's mediation.
"...The village should also support the reorganization of the Police Department, and the Anbu should not obstruct the Police Department from performing official duties for other reasons. However, the Police Department is still one of the village departments after all, and it should naturally accept the jurisdiction of Lord Hokage... "Hatake Sakumo gave his opinion, "What do you two think?"
"The restructuring of the Police Department can be recognized." Mito Kaden thought for a moment and then expressed his agreement.
"The Anbu must not interfere with the work of the police department." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied calmly.
Neither of them refuted the other's words, so they could be considered to have reached an agreement on this condition.
"In addition, the promotion of ninjas of the Uchiha clan must no longer be secretly restricted. All members of the Sanmagatama clan should be awarded the rank of Jonin."
"Jounin is the commanding body of the village, and evaluations are not based solely on strength!" Mito Kadoyan frowned and rejected Uchiha Tokumitsu's request, "In addition to strength, jounin must have stronger leadership and Harder psychological qualities must not be awarded at will!"
"Then I ask the Police Department to grant the rank of Jonin!"
"But only for awakening the three Magatama Uchiha clan members!" Mito Kadoyan also gave a restrictive condition.
"Can!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed simply.
Since the starting points of both parties are different, the points of concern are different.
Mito Gate considered whether the excessive number of Uchiha jounin would affect the distribution of power and task shares among the various tribes in the village. He added a prefix of 'Police Department' to the jounin rank of the Sanmagatama Uchiha tribe. It can also curb Uchiha's erosion of other departments. .
Uchiha Tokumitsu wanted to gain more voting rights in the Jonin class, and at the same time, it was also convenient to give an identity to the elite clan members who were not registered.
"Sakumo-kun..." Uchiha Tokumitsu signaled to Hatake Sakumo, saying that he had no other conditions.
"Consultant Mitomon, in order to avoid incidents like this one of root walking alone in the future..."
Hatake Sakumo carefully considered his words: "I believe that each department in the village must clarify its specific duties and responsibilities in a short period of time, and the jounin class will supervise whether there are any infringements in the specific implementation of each department..."
Mito Monoyan remained silent.
"This is my only request..."
Hatake Sakumo said sincerely again.
"I agree on behalf of Hokage-sama..."
In the end, Mito Kadoen agreed to Hatake Sakumo's conditions.
In this way, a storm that might have caused a civil war and overturned Konoha was temporarily suppressed in the exchange of interests.
Although the agreed negotiation conditions did not completely exceed the Hokage's authorization, Mito Kaden was still very uneasy.
He was not sure how much authority the Hokage line could maintain after this concession.
But at least, the Uchiha clan has basically broken off their shackles since then, and the Jonin class has gained the power to supervise the Konoha tribes...
Konoha has entered a troubled period from now on...
Mito Kadoyan sighed secretly, and left directly after drafting the documents and signing them.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo led Tokumitsu's red troops, mobile troops and border troops back to loyal Konoha from the main gate.
As the end of the month is approaching, the project department has to catch up on schedule and production value, and the workload has increased a lot. Therefore, it can only update one chapter in the past few days, and double updates will resume on the 26th.
In addition, I would like to thank all the book friends again for their support~
