In fact, in addition to the Jonin Class, Konoha also has a similar authority, which is the Ninja Council.
When Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara reconciled and established Konoha, since those who subsequently joined Konoha were basically the major ninja clans in the ninja world, when deciding on major events, the clan leaders of each clan would often be summoned. People discuss together, and the Ninja clan meeting becomes a de facto discussion and decision-making body.
During the period when the powerful second generation Senju Tobirama controlled Konoha, he began to suppress the ninja clan forces and opened village ninja schools to focus on cultivating lower-level genin. In addition, the structure of Konoha's tribes was becoming increasingly perfect, so the number of ninja clan meetings was naturally held. There were also fewer and fewer, but because the second-generation Senju Tobirama was not strong enough to suppress the ninja world, he was relatively dependent on the assistance of jounin, so the status of the jounin class also increased.
After the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the throne, the only role of the Ninja Clan Council was to recruit ninjas from various families to purchase ordnance during wars, and it had no other powers at all.
The situation of the Jonin class was similar.
Before Hatake Sakumo won the position of Jonin Class Leader, the Jonin Class was the third generation of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Those who were dissatisfied would be severely punished by the Jonin Class Leader, or even taken away to assist in the investigation.
However, under the instigation of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo, the jounin class became the center of Konoha's political struggle. The two also used the power of the jounin class to stir up all the forces in Konoha. Although the tribe was loose, the number of people also increased sharply.
But along with it, there are imitators who follow the same example.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu often used the jounin class to cause trouble, he definitely did not welcome others to follow his example and cause trouble.
Especially when it was done to him.
Therefore, after arranging the affairs of the eastern garrison, Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately returned to Konoha to discuss countermeasures with the clan leader Uchiha Shigata and Hatake Sakumo.
"Tsunade Senju..."
In the office of the Chief of Police, Uchiha Tokumitsu became irritated again when he thought of this name.
After reorganizing the Senju clan, both Tsunade and her younger brother Naoki regained the Senju surname.
The most troublesome thing about this surname is its prestige.
If he had followed his past habits, Uchiha Tokumitsu might have said hello to his family and Hatake Sakumo before he began to mobilize his troops to prepare for "accidents", but if it was Tsunade...
"Tokuguang-kun, please don't be impulsive..."
In the office of the Chief of Police, the patriarch Uchiha Shifang sitting across from him was somewhat dissatisfied with Tsunade's recent related motions, but what he was most worried about was that Uchiha Tokumitsu would lose his composure and choose to fight.
"Master Patriarch, you don't have to worry so much. The Red Bei Team is still in the Country of Grass and hasn't come back yet!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu rolled his eyes at Uchiha Shifang angrily, "How can you still be considered an Uchiha if you are so weak? You need to know your shame!"
If he really planned to solve the problem by force, he would have summoned the family ninjas from the two garrison camps and returned. How could he be so angry in the office.
What's more, although the Mangekyō Sharingan has been awakened, because excessive consumption of pupil power will lead to blindness, and it will also have a great impact on the body, so Uchiha Tokumitsu also tries to reduce the use of the power of the Mangekyō.
Besides, if personal strength could really suppress the ninja world, Uchiha Tokumitsu would have turned over the table.
The Uchiha quartet's worries are not without reason.
As the nominal head of the Uchiha clan, he was the one who most directly felt the changes in Uchiha Tokumitsu's personality, such as the "too weak" sentence just now.
Especially after Uchiha Tokumitsu awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Tokumitsu's character and emotions became much "clearer" than before.
He has also privately read the relevant records in the direct secret books and found that this is a characteristic of all kaleidoscope awakeners. The negative power of kaleidoscope eyes will cause emotional ups and downs to some extent. Uchiha Tokumitsu's personality changes and classic records It's already the slightest in comparison.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door of the chief's office.
"Please come in!"
Hatake Sakumo opened the door and entered.
He looked a little tired.
"Sakumo-kun, please make a special trip here."
"It's my fault in handling this matter, but I'd rather trouble you, Mr. Tokuguang..."
Hatake Sakumo had a wry smile on his face, feeling a little helpless.
Uchiha Tokumitsu and he had raised the status of the jounin class together, but he didn't want others to follow his example and make trouble through the jounin class. This made Hatake Sakumo, the class leader, feel very embarrassed.
"The jounin class meeting system is inherently open, so it's not surprising that some people are manipulating the issues..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu lay down on the back of his chair and relaxed his body, "It's just, Sakumo-kun, have you made up your mind?"
He was referring to asking Hatake Sakumo to reorganize his subordinate forces and formulate binding rules.
"In principle, the village does not allow ninjas to form various organizations on their own..."
Hatake Sakumo sighed.
"Facts have proven that ninjas who gather together purely for the purpose of mutual aid are inferior to the ninja clan bound by blood, both in terms of combat effectiveness and willpower."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "Especially the reorganized Senju clan. The prestige of their ancestors is so high that they are actually the leaders of the ninja world. When facing them, maybe you, Sakumo-kun, also want to retreat in your heart?"
Hatake Sakumo was silent when he heard this.
Uchiha Tokumitsu thought he acquiesced, so he continued: "Since you, Sakumo-kun, have the intention to retreat, how can your subordinates continue to argue with the Senju clan?"
"You know, there is nothing wrong with the two bills proposed by Tsunade-hime."
Uchiha Tokko ignored the clan leader Uchiha Shifang's glances and said to himself: "In addition, those small clans who returned to Senju are naturally very enthusiastic and full of fighting spirit in order to ascend the throne. In this way, Sakumo-kun, you Is there any other way besides procrastination?”
"If we want to reorganize our troops... what would be a more appropriate way?"
Hatake Sakumo gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
"I wonder if Sakumo-kun has ever known that among the bureaucrats under the daimyo, there is an organizational structure called a political group?"
The so-called political group is an organization composed of the children of civilians who have passed the examination or been recommended to become officials of famous officials. Since they have no family background and no place to hold high positions at the guardian level of the county and city, coupled with the exclusion of the children of the nobles, the officials They are often connected by their place of origin, ideals and aspirations, etc., and support each other in order to "progress" together.
"I understand..."
Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something.
Indeed, the status of Konoha Jonin, a commoner and a minor ninja, is no different from that of a famous official who has no chance to advance to a high position.
If Hatake Sakumo's original power was just to stick together for warmth, then if it is reorganized according to the model of a political group, it will at least become a political organization with some ideal pursuits.
"If this is the case, wouldn't many people choose to defect..."
Clan leader Uchiha Shifang was a little puzzled.
"What's the use of having more people who can't share the same difficulties? Can a hundred undisciplined Iwagakure compete with fifty well-trained Uchiha?"
Uchiha Demitsu replied, his eyes continuing to pay attention to the changes in Hatake Sakumo's expression.
"I see……"
Hatake Sakumo's expression gradually became firm.
Uchiha Deguang also had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Tsunade-hime's motion is indeed urgent this time, so let me handle it."
Uchiha Tokumitsu took the initiative and said: "The formation of the political group still requires a lot of internal games. It is not convenient for me to get involved in these matters, so I will be in charge of matters related to Uchiha."
Hatake Sakumo was a little hesitant when he heard this.
Like Uchiha Shifang, he was also afraid that Uchiha Tokumitsu would use force. If that happened, he would be out of control.
"Tokumitsu-kun, it's better not to use force... and I will suppress the bill..."
Hatake Sakumo whispered nervously.
"Why use force to solve it? Why do you all regard me as an extreme militant?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu scratched his hair a little irritably.
Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha looked at each other but did not answer.
Among the Uchiha clan, there are many people with more extreme opinions than Uchiha Tokumitsu, but in terms of actions, there is still no one who can compare with them.
At least, except for Uchiha Tokimitsu himself, no one else in the Uchiha clan had the guts to kill the village's advisory elders and summon the ninja army to force the Hokage to bow his head and submit.
"Then...how will Tokumitsu-kun prepare to deal with Tsunade-hime's proposal?"
Hatake Sakumo continued to ask.
"The jounin class only needs to find a reason to refuse the application and push it to the ninja clan meeting for self-examination!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied: "And the investigation must be expanded and thorough! Going back to the time when Sarutobi Monkey came to power, everything related or irrelevant must be investigated!"
"The kind that won't stop until we find out everything in all the darkness in Konoha!"
Uchiha Tokko added firmly.
Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha looked at each other in shock.
It has only been in the past few years that the Uchiha clan has begun to expand its power. Even if it is found out, it is actually nothing. Those things like cross-border smuggling and arms reselling are not big or small. The Uchiha clan has started to cherish them after they have developed in recent years. Feather just abides by the rules, otherwise those proposals will not be taken seriously at all.
However, if you really want to check back for decades like Uchiha Tokumitsu, then things will be big.
After all, no one in Konoha can withstand investigation...
"this……"
The Uchiha leader felt some toothache.
"By the way, although the Roots have been disbanded, the various crimes they committed have not yet been revealed. We must also investigate thoroughly! We will not stop until an unjust, false, and wrongly convicted case is found!"
Uchiha Demitsu said through gritted teeth.
"Do you really want to check this...?"
Hatake Sakumo hesitated.
Since becoming the leader of the Jonin class, he has also understood that the dark side of the upper echelons is essential.
But if a thorough investigation is carried out, it will definitely have an immeasurable negative impact on Konoha.
Apart from anything else, the consequences of a complete collapse of the Will of Fire's ideals and beliefs are beyond what the senior management can bear.
“Whether we investigate or not is not the key, the key is to expand it!”
Uchiha Tokumitsu said firmly: "It must be expanded! Without expansion, it is not enough to eliminate the remnants of the old era! It is not enough to rectify the moral integrity!"
Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Shifang looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu with a righteous look on his face, and felt thunder rolling from the sky.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this is really a good idea.
After all, the Uchiha clan has only been in power for a few years. Whether it is controlling military power, intimidating daimyo, illegal smuggling and other things, it can only be said that they are relatively different, and they are far from being dark and dirty.
But what about the events before the village?
Just from the roots, any jounin of Konoha can list out a lot of crimes.
Moreover, secretly, many Konoha ninjas with "disrespectful" intentions have been eliminated. If the investigation is restarted now, even if nothing is found, the water will be completely muddied, and no one will be able to watch the show and applaud.
Moreover, there were a lot of frustrated old guys at the ninja clan meeting who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. Since their clan size was relatively small and their clansmen were deeply influenced by the education of the ninja school, their sense of identity with the family was naturally relatively weakened. The frustrated old guys are very happy to see the statement of the Hokage series being hit.
"This is a good idea..."
Hatake Sakumo thought about it and understood.
But Uchiha Tokumitsu's plan is not limited to this.
The Jonin class was still a bit thin after all, and another catfish was needed to muddy the waters.
Moreover, it is also beneficial to the Uchiha clan to re-establish the authority of the Ninja clan meeting through the hearing of the bill.
Because after the reorganization of the Senju clan, a large number of collateral clans returned to the main sect, another consequence was that the number of Konoha ninja clan was relatively small.
The number of Uchiha clan and pro-nin clan remained unchanged.
In the meantime, the Uchiha clan's voice in the Ninja clan meetings has increased in disguise.
"This is a great plan!"
Although the clan leader Uchiha Shitaka didn't think too far-reaching, he also felt that expanding the scope of the investigation through a ninja clan meeting was also a feasible method.
Moreover, if the Ninja Clan Council is to review Tsunade's motion, even if an investigation team is formed at that time, members of the Ninja Clan Council will inevitably participate.
Although some ninjas benefited from the Sandaime's time in charge of Konoha, after all, most of the Konoha ninjas were still in the opposition. If they were given a chance to regain power, I believe they would not be unhappy.
"That's the case over there, Tokumitsu-kun, then I'll go back to the jounin class to respond to this matter!"
Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and asked Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Shifang to resign.
"Waiting for the good news from Sakumo-kun."
Uchiha Demitsu also had a bright smile on his face.
There is another reason that is even more hidden, which is that Uchiha Tokko intends to transform the Ninja Clan Council and the Jonin Council into the form of the Senate and the House of Representatives through a series of events. The two houses will stand side by side to check and balance each other. In this way, no matter what happens, It can be dragged into noisy internal friction and wasted away.
At that time, even if someone wants to use the bill to cause trouble, it will depend on whether he can survive the entanglement between the two houses.
After all, Konoha is still a military group based on "customary law". As long as there is a precedent, it will be easy to follow up.
And once a routine is formed, there will naturally be a lot more room for maneuver later!
"Let me see what else you can use to fight me!"
Uchiha Tokko thought viciously in his heart.
Ninjas are not just about fighting and killing, ninjas also need to be humane and sophisticated~
