The relationship between the Kirigakure ninja village and the Daimyo of the Land of Water is notoriously tense.
It's just that the Water Kingdom, which is isolated overseas, has a natural ocean barrier, so it is extremely difficult for the major powers in the Ninja World Continent to interfere with it.
The news that Uchiha Tokumitsu openly attacked the daimyo at the Hokage meeting also quickly spread on a large scale in Konoha and even the entire ninja world with the help of caring people.
Kirigakure naturally also got the information.
The Oniden and Minazuki clans, who had direct smuggling ties with the Uchiha clan, immediately came to the door.
What they want is very simple, that is, they hope to expand the scope of trade and the depth of cooperation between the two parties.
In short, we are all wealthy ninjas who have conflicts with the daimyo. This shows that we have a common language. We can discuss things with each other in the future and help each other when there are problems.
Although many members of the two Kirigakure giants fell under the sword of the Uchiha Ninja Army during the war in the Eastern Fire Country, after all, it was a war period, and it was natural for each to serve its masters and show their abilities. For both sides, the current The intention to explore expanding trade shares or even reaching a deep alliance has no impact.
The ninja clan, passed down for thousands of years, still has the tolerance to take things up and let them go.
Of course Uchiha Tokko was happy to see this;
Therefore, when Kirigakure's envoy arrived in Konoha in the name of negotiating peace, the ninja envoy lurking among them also secretly contacted Uchiha Tokumitsu.
The people responsible for the first round of negotiations were Masahiko Kito and Chino Minazuki, who had been envoys to Konoha before the war.
…
"Lord De Guang, I would like to express my greetings to you on behalf of the elders of the family."
Masahiko Onito bowed to Uchiha Tokko in a very respectful manner.
Minazuki Qiannuo quickly imitated the others and greeted them with greetings.
"The elders of your family are very polite. Please convey my sincere greetings to them on my behalf..."
Uchiha Tokko also gave a ceremonial official answer very sincerely.
"Master Tokuguang should have understood the purpose of our visit, right?"
Ghost Light Masahiko said.
"The Uchiha clan agrees in principle that both parties will expand trade categories and shares, but the details will not be discussed in detail until after the first seafood transaction."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also responded positively: "Things have to be advanced step by step. We must first make our existing business bigger and stronger, and then we will explore other industries."
"However, I can meet your requirements for the arms business now, and in the Kingdom of Water, only your two families are allowed to jointly sell with the Uchiha clan..."
After Uchiha Tokumitsu rejected Kiden Masahiko's suggestion, he immediately threw another bait to distract him.
"Lord Tokumitsu! How long will the Uchiha clan's detonating talisman be supplied?"
Shuiwuyue Qiannuo was overjoyed.
The detonating talisman specially made by the Uchiha clan is much more powerful than the detonating talisman made by other fire escape ninjas.
"Within one hundred thousand."
Uchiha Tokumitsu gave a number that made the two very satisfied.
"Lord Tokumitsu, the last question is about the Kingdom of Whirlpool."
After Kito Masahiko and Minazuki Chino looked at each other, Minazuki Chino took the initiative to bring it up.
"Speaking."
Uchiha Tokko's expression immediately became cautious.
Between the cooperation with the Kirigakure ninja clan, the Uzumaki clan, the remaining lineage of the Kingdom of Uzumaki, is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.
And the Uzumaki clan is the current ally that the Uchiha clan cannot give up.
Even though their clan leader Uzumaki Ashina claimed to put aside the baggage of the past and look forward, Uchiha Tokumitsu never believed that there would be no grudges in their hearts.
It's just that everyone tacitly agrees.
Of course, it would be great if some of the Uzumaki clan's knots could be resolved.
"Behind the attack on the Whirlpool Country and the attempt to destroy the Whirlpool clan was the joint decision of the daimyo of the four major nations."
Minazuki Chino subconsciously lowered his voice and said to Uchiha Tokko.
Uchiha Tokko's eyes narrowed.
"Although Sunagakure Village did not send ninja troops to participate in the battle due to distance, their daimyo has signed a secret agreement..."
Minazuki Chino continued to whisper: "Besides, the Daimyo of the Country of Fire should also know about this matter, but he has acquiesced in it..."
"I see."
Uchiha Tokko nodded.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu had long had suspicions about the three major powers' siege on the Country of Whirlpool, he suffered from the fact that there was no reliable intelligence to support it.
Now that the representatives of the two major ninja clans, Kiden and Minazuki, who are involved in the matter, have spoken out publicly, they naturally do not intend to deceive them. They must have mastered some key evidence.
"It is said that there is a faction named 'Blood Mist Sect' in Kirigakure Ninja Village, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu changed the topic seemingly casually.
"...Indeed, the Blood Mist Sect is composed of Kirigakure civilian ninjas and minor ninja ninjas. It extremely rejects the blood successor ninja clan. Although its organizational strength is relatively weak, there are daimyo secretly supporting it."
Minazuki Chino hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
"Haha... daimyo..."
Uchiha Tokko sneered twice.
"Lord Tokumitsu, the evidence we have about the conspiracy of the great powers will be handed over to you when the seafood is transported to the Country of Waves. I hope it can be of some help to you."
Masahiko Kito took over and said, "With your permission, the heads of our two clans are also willing to go to the Country of Waves to hold talks with your family."
"This matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed within the family."
Although Uchiha Tokko took this very seriously, he did not agree immediately.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is not the leader of the clan after all. The alliance between the ninja clan is of great importance, so he still has to discuss it with the clan leader Uchiha Shifang and the elder Setsuna.
"I'll understand later."
Masahiko Kito gave a salute, hesitated for a moment and then continued: "Lord Tokumitsu, even a wealthy Ninja family like ours is still a tool for missions in the eyes of the daimyo nobles..."
"Something always needs to change."
Minazuki Chino continued: "Even though we are in two countries, we have long been unwilling to see the tragic situation like the Uzumaki clan reappear."
"If you don't act secretly, you will lose your identity."
Uchiha Demitsu replied, and then said no more.
As children of wealthy families, Masahiko Kito and Senno Minazuki, in addition to their ninja training, also had good literary qualities, so they naturally understood the meaning of Uchiha Tokumitsu's words.
So the two of them said nothing more and stood up to leave.
After the two left, a smile gradually appeared on the face of Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was alone in the room.
What an unexpected surprise.
The attitude of the two major ninja clans of Kirigakure is unexpectedly sincere, and their willingness to form an alliance is also unexpectedly strong.
There are only individuals who betray class in the world, and there is no class that betrays class interests.
The conflict between the ninjas who possess extraordinary abilities and the daimyo nobles who possess secular political and financial power has become increasingly fierce.
Even if there are a very small number of ninjas who are forcibly bonded together by the system, they will naturally express high-intensity content to the other party in their hearts.
What the Uchiha clan has to do is to constantly test the bottom line of the Daimyo through trial and error.
Uchiha Tokumitsu is particularly looking forward to disrupting this stagnant ninja world.
"Daimyo..."!

terribly sorry!
Also explain the difference between "one village, one country" and "one country, one village" in the previous chapter:
This is a description adapted from modern Prussia. One village, one country means "the army owns the country in the Prussian model", while one country, one village means "the country owns the army."
The meanings of the two are essentially different.
