Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech at the reform meeting spread throughout Konoha in a short time, which also gained him a large group of admirers among the senior chuunin community.
In the context of Konoha, the so-called "senior chuunin" refers to the group of cannon fodder chunin who are capable but have no way to advance. Most of them were born in the war years and relied on luck or personal will. After surviving on the battlefield, you will gain the rank of Chuunin based on your military exploits. However, due to limitations in his own qualifications or resources, his strength cannot continue to improve, and he can only rely on performing low- to medium-level tasks to maintain his livelihood.
In Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech, the "three major responsibilities" proposed deeply touched the chord in their hearts.
The Police Preparatory School's open attitude towards the spread of ninjutsu during the educational stage also confirmed from the side that Uchiha Tokimitsu's speech was not completely false.
From the perspective of identity and group characteristics, they are exactly the same as the pseudo-middle class in the previous life - mastering certain skills but not indispensable, having certain strength but no opportunity to continue to improve, having a certain status but unable to pass generations. inherited.
Even the slightest carelessness, such as being discharged from active service due to disability during a mission, being taken away for investigation due to excessive remarks, or offending a junior ninja from a wealthy family, may cause a heavy blow to their lives.
So Konoha's senior chuunin were very anxious.
But at least Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech gave them a hope, a hope to maintain the inheritance and even have a chance to go further.
And the most expensive thing in the world is hope.
With the experience of being a financial dog in his previous life, Uchiha Tokumitsu naturally knew which groups of people his sickle could harvest.
The forces originally attached to Hatake Sakumo were a huge and chaotic group of people, but after the reorganization and the establishment of certain rules and regulations, at least the composition of the group has been "purified" to a certain extent; and the reform will take the following steps: To apply for the membership system, basically anyone who is a Konoha ninja can apply for membership after understanding the Constitution of the Reform Association. This will also be conducive to the rapid expansion of the Reform Association.
And this also gave Uchiha Tokumitsu a good opportunity to intervene.
The jounin members of the Reform Association are Hatake Sakumo's iron foundation. These people only need to maintain positive interactions and do not need to have too many contacts; but the large number of chunin can be attracted.
Including the logistics escort work of the smuggling business that Uchiha Tokumitsu had promised to assign to Hatake Sakumo in the early stage, it was tailor-made for these people.
But winning people's hearts is not something that happens overnight, so Uchiha Tokumitsu is still very patient in making arrangements, silently waiting for the day of harvest.
…
Within Konoha, the turmoil for a thorough investigation of the thirty-year proposal is growing.
Many ninja family members have even begun to petition the Hokage Building to investigate the root darkness as "root victims", which has made the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen even more worried.
He also felt very aggrieved!
"Yan! How is the formation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs going?"
In anger, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen convened Mito Monobu who was entrusted with the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"The officers have just arrived, but there is no suitable location for the secret venue and safe house. The police department has too many spies..."
As a special mission agency, in addition to training venues, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also needs to set up special institutions such as detention centers, interrogation centers, and intelligence analysis and processing centers.
However, since the Ministry of Internal Affairs is essentially a nominally "illegal" organization that has nothing to do with the Konoha tribes, its institutional location cannot have anything to do with the Anbu and other Konoha departments.
After the reform of the Police Department, three major police stations were set up in Konoha, which suppressed the Ministry of Internal Affairs' choice of venues.
"If it doesn't work, just set it up in the forest of death..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a headache.
After all, after the reform of the Police Department, even the operations of the Anbu were subject to various kinds of surveillance and prying eyes by the Police Administration, both intentionally and unintentionally.
"I see……"
Although there are many inconveniences in setting up the secret place in the death forest, Mito Kaden also knows that this is the best choice at the moment.
"The other thing I want to do with you is to check the ninja family members who are petitioning illegally. Is there anyone behind them who is maliciously instigating a conspiracy..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen said gloomily.
The reason why the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whose mechanism is not yet fully developed, is to be mobilized is because it is really difficult to mobilize the Anbu under the nose of the Police Department.
Moreover, the second-generation elders of ANBU had not yet found a way to get rid of them, and he could not guarantee the "purity" of the ANBU team.
"...I secretly sent mountain ninjas to hypnotize several people."
Mito Monohan replied solemnly: "They felt that the control of the village had been relaxed a lot, so they started a petition spontaneously."
"spontaneous……"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"Some things in Danzo are indeed a bit too much..."
Mito Kadenen added calmly.
"knew……"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen took several puffs of his pipe viciously.
"Hiruzen, what are you going to do with the review proposal?"
Mito Menyan lowered his eyelids, "I'm afraid we can't delay it any longer..."
"The daimyo will send a special envoy over to announce that all past events will be pardoned!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and then he said quietly.
"What!"
Mito Menyan was shocked.
He didn't even know that this matter was actually related to the daimyo.
"Hiruzen! The ninjas in the village are now very disgusted with the daimyo interfering in the ninja village! Aren't you like this..."
"Do you have any other good ideas?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Mito Kadoen's words, "Do we really need to investigate? If we conduct a thorough investigation, is it true that no problem can be found?"
"even so……"
Mito Kadoyan was a little worried, "Hiruzhan, you should discuss something with us..."
"No!"
The Sandaime shook his head, "This time it was proposed by the Daimyo's Minister Dazai, and the special envoy is the Daimyo's legitimate son..."
"The Daimyo's legitimate son..."
Mito Menyan was also a little stunned.
This is equivalent to the next daimyo arriving in Konoha and personally solving the proposal controversy.
"Although it will damage your prestige, it is still a solution, isn't it..."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
Mito Menyan looked at his tired look and said nothing more.
After Mito Kadoen left, Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at the door of the office.
There was another thing he didn't tell anyone, and that was that the daimyo had privately entrusted the Sarutobi clan to train so-called "attendant ninjas" for him, that is, guardian ninjas with a different name, and he also needed to grant them the title of Konoha ninja in private. identity of.
This kind of thing is like Pandora's box. Once opened, disaster will occur.
If the daimyo has an organized ninja unit, the conflict with the ninja village will inevitably intensify.
But he has agreed.
The alliance between Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo put too much pressure on him...
…
After learning that the special envoy from the Country of Fire would arrive in Konoha to announce the "mediation" proposal controversy, Uchiha Tokumitsu just snorted and said "making a fuss out of a molehill" and ignored it.
After Hatake Sakumo received the notice from the Hokage Building, he sat in the jounin class office all afternoon. No one knew what he was thinking and doing.
At the same time, the Hokage Building also sent notices to the commanders of the other three border armies, asking them to return to the village to participate in the meeting collectively.
Public opinion in the village also turned once again, from whether there was a need for extensive scrutiny to whether the daimyo's mediation was legal. For a while, the two opposing ninjas once again continued to criticize.
…
Uchiha Tokumitsu firmly believed that the criticism of words was not as powerful as the slashing of weapons, so he did not get involved in the public opinion debate in the village. He only changed into a battle vest again when the daimyo envoy held a mediation meeting, and put on a large sword, the same sword. Express attitude.
Hatake Sakumo is also wearing a battle vest, and is also carrying the White Fang dagger for which he is famous, but it doesn't look as eye-catching as the Samehada Uchiha Tokumitsu carries.
The reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu attended the meeting with Samehada on his back was just to "show off his martial arts skills."
Uchiha Kamon and Mimura Hazaki followed behind the two, while Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the newly promoted commander of the northern frontier army, stood on the other side, just looking at the four people hugging each other.
…
In the conference room of the Hokage Building, the third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi introduced the participating commanders of the border armies to the special envoy of the Country of Fire and the daimyo's son.
"Jonin Hatake Sakumo, leader of the Jonin class and president of the Reform Council!"
"Commander of the Eastern Border Defense Force, Senior Assistant Chief of the Police Department, and Director-General of the Reform Council Uchiha Tokimitsu Jounin!"
"Commander of the Western Border Defense Force, Misura Hamaki Jonin!"
"Commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, Uchiha Kamon Jounin!"
"Northern Border Defense Force Commander Sarutobi Shinnosuke Jounin!"
Among the various frontier military officers, Uchiha Tokumitsu has the longest title and title, and is naturally the most eye-catching.
In the curtain beside the Hokage, the Daimyo's son, as a special envoy, was also paying attention to this legendary lawless, arrogant and violent Uchiha ninja.
Especially the recently released so-called "Konoha Reform Council" has made the daimyo nobles even more troubled.
What is the so-called innovation?
The program of the Reform Council was not clearly stated, so the daimyo nobles were even more uneasy.
But what they can be sure of is that they cannot sit back and watch the Hokage family currently in charge of Konoha really be overthrown by public opinion, nor can they allow all the hearts of Konoha ninjas to be won over, otherwise the village will fall into the hands of Hatake Sakumo or Uchiha. If they are in Guang's hands, their good days may be over.
"...appointed by the sacred name of the people who rule the land, to mediate the differences within Konoha. All differences should not exist. Unity is the foundation for maintaining the development of the Land of Fire and Konoha."
Uchiha Tokumitsu ignored the red tape in front of him, but he immediately reacted when he heard this sentence.
Looking at each other with Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Tokumitsu took the lead in firing.
"Not to mention whether the daimyo is sacred or not, but can the conflicts in the village and the wishes of the ninja be ignored or suppressed?"
"Or, is the words of the Izunji meant to suppress the expression of the Konoha ninja? Then can I regard it as contempt for the will of the Konoha ninja?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered repeatedly, while Hatake Sakumo showed no expression.
"Jōnin Tokumitsu, the problems that exist in Konoha should be reported through reasonable channels, instead of making everyone panic..."
The envoy responded humbly and politely.
"In what capacity did the daimyo come to mediate?"
Hatake Sakumo suddenly said.
"The Ninja Village is not a subordinate of the Daimyo!"
Mimura Yemaki said immediately.
"Seconded!"
Uchiha Kamon followed.
"Konoha may have experienced some setbacks and caused certain damage during its development, but it has always been an indispensable military force for the Country of Fire. The Daimyo-sama and the Hokage worked together to create the largest country in the ninja world. The prosperous age..."
The special envoy went around in a circle and responded to the three people's questions from the side.
"In order to make up for the mistakes as much as possible, the Daimyo is willing to waive the four billion war bonds and allocate an additional two billion taels to compensate the losses of the Konoha ninjas in order to calm the differences within the Ninja Village."
As soon as these words came out, Uchiha Tokko narrowed his eyes.
Putting aside whether the two billion taels can satisfy the appetite of the Konoha ninja clan, the exemption of four billion war bonds mentioned by the special envoy is enough to give the Uchiha clan a headache.
In the tens of billions of war bonds plan, exactly 4 billion of the 6 billion actually issued were provided by daimyo, and the other 2 billion were publicly raised by the Minagawa Stock Exchange.
Once the news of the bond exemption spreads, what impact will it have on the two billion bond share controlled by the Uchiha clan...
Although the war bonds have to be repaid by the village, if something goes wrong in the repayment, it will affect the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the ninja world.
"...In addition, the Daimyo will allocate additional funds every year to develop people's livelihood, so that every Konoha ninja can receive grace and support."
"My only wish is that the Konoha ninjas can let go of the past, focus on the future, and unite to safeguard the supreme honor of the largest country!"
"Sakumo jounin has unparalleled prestige, Tokumitsu jounin has outstanding martial arts, Kamon jounin led the defeat of Iwagakure, Hazaki jounin defended the enemy from outside, and Shinno helped the jounin guard the northern border. They are all heroes of the Fire Country..."
"Therefore, the great names are given by the kings as generals and enjoy the rank and salary of the guardianship..."
The so-called guardianship title is the official of a county. Although it is only a fictitious position with a salary, the daimyo's actions are not ungenerous.
It is indeed a simple and effective way to eliminate violence...
Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo looked at each other, both feeling a little helpless.
"It's not bad to get a general number..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu whispered to Hatake Sakumo: "After all, our original intention is just to reject Tsunade-hime's motion..."
Although Hatake Sakumo was a little unwilling, he still nodded slightly to show his acceptance.
What Uchiha Tokko thought of was another question.
According to tradition, a general can legitimately open a palace, so wouldn't the red troops under his command become a legal ninja army?
And...the shogun, the shogunate...
When these words are connected together, they seem to have a different kind of charm...
When Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his eyes again to the envoy who was conferring officials and making wishes and throwing away money, his eyes became much friendlier.
As for the withdrawal of the proposal, it can also be publicized in public opinion that it was the pressure of the proposal that prompted the daimyo to spend a lot of money to provide benefits.
"They will change, not because of conscience, but because we will cry out for you!"
Uchiha Tokko has even thought of the theme of the promotion.
As long as you don't have to kneel down in front of the daimyo, there is no problem in accepting the title of shogun...
And if King Qin goes to Luo in the future, it will be justified...
Uchiha Tokko licked his lips, a little satisfied.
The Daimyo envoy who had been paying attention to the changes in Uchiha Tokimitsu's expression was also very satisfied.
