This is the first time in the entire ninja world that a daimyo directly rewards the ninja Murakami.

What's more, the titles of five generals were thrown out in one go.

Hatake Sakumo and the four frontier commanders all accepted the ban.

Uchiha Tokumitsu said he withdrew the proposal and promised not to raise any more issues over the matter.

The people of Konoha are a little numb to this, because there have been too many shocking things recently, and their emotions are a bit lacking.

Moreover, they were quite dissatisfied with the Hokage's acceptance of the daimyo's mediation and the five people's acceptance of the title of shogun, especially those fringe ninjas who had hoped to restart the ninja clan meeting and gain power from it.

But Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo were too lazy to pay attention to those insects.

The key point for them now is to preach and explain to the ninjas of the Reform Association and explain the meaning clearly.

"...The ninja world is unequal, and so are the ninja villages."

After Hatake Sakumo's speech, Uchiha Tokumitsu, the general director of the Reform Association, naturally came to the stage to speak, and his first words made everyone present at the Reform Association change their expressions.

"And it is precisely because of the existence of inequality that we must pursue equality, so we sit together, so Konoha has the Innovation Council."

The mood of the ninjas at the reform meeting immediately turned from cloudy to clear.

After many public speeches, Uchiha Tokumitsu became more and more skilled in using language to mobilize the audience's emotions. He first suppressed and then promoted to grasp everyone's thoughts.

"The daimyo will throw away money freely, and the Hokage will be generous and merciful, but this is not because of their pure nature, but because we stood up!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his right fist and said loudly: "It's us!"

"The Innovation Council is the rising sun in Konoha. Under the scorching sunshine, all darkness dissipates!"

Thunderous applause erupted in the venue.

"but!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned again and his tone became deeper: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous."

The ninjas of the Reform Society, who had just been excited, immediately calmed down a little, thought about it again, and then nodded.

"Power is not our most necessary pursuit, but it is an indispensable condition for realizing our ideals!"

The purpose of this sentence is to defend himself and Hatake Sakumo from accepting the title of shogun from the daimyo.

The people at the reform meeting were hesitant, but they still nodded.

Those who can become Jonin are all those who have been severely beaten by the Ninja world, and those who join the Reform Society are those who have not lost their original aspirations, so they are not the kind of complete idealists, and naturally understand the gains gained in the process of pursuing their ideals. The "accessory" of power.

Besides, if it weren't for Hatake Sakumo being the Jonin squad leader, Uchiha Tokumitsu coming from a wealthy family and being the commander of the border army, plus the two of them being tyrannical and having a history of intimidating the Hokage, the Reform Club might have just sprouted. At this stage, they were all wiped out by ANBU.

The next day, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo's speeches at the internal meeting of the Reform Association were compiled into a manuscript and named "Our Struggle" which was spread throughout Konoha.



Among the five generals who received the title of daimyo, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Kamon are from the same clan, and Uchiha Kamon was also the chief of the bodyguard of Setsuna Grand Elder, so it goes without saying that they are related; and Hatake Sakumo It is the iron alliance of the Uchiha clan, and naturally and Uchiha Tokumitsu are on the same page; although Misura Hazaki has a shallow foundation, he has chosen to stand on the same front as Hatake Sakumo.

Therefore, the only outlier is Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the new commander of the Northern Border Defense Force and the son of the Sandaime.

Moreover, he is the one with the least military exploits among the five.

But for the Hokage line, they have more or less occupied one of the four major ninja armies, and can be regarded as taking back part of their power - because the northern border defense force was once the ninja army led by Hatake Sakumo.

In this calculation, Hatake Sakumo is the one who suffers the most, because as the leader of the Jonin squad, he has only one mobile unit of the ninja army directly under his command, and most of the combat jounin in the mobile unit are Uchiha tribesmen, and they are not A shogunate may be established within Konoha.

Although the title of general is a fictitious position, it still carries a very high level of authority.

The premise is that you have the strength to realize the power of this title.

Uchiha Tokumitsu established the Tokumitsu Shogunate in a low-key manner, and the garrison was established in the country of Uzumaki. He also established the chief official of the shogunate to guard Uzushio, and then awarded this official position to the Ashina clan leader of the Uzumaki clan.

Although the old land of the Uzumaki Country has legally become the territory of the Uchiha clan, this is also an opportunity for the Uzumaki clan to return to their homeland in disguise.

Uzumaki Ashina was naturally grateful for this. After thanking Uchiha Tokimitsu again and again, he happily took a dozen Uzumaki clan members to serve in the Country of Uzumaki.

His duty is to rebuild a county in the Kingdom of Whirlpool as the shogunate residence of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

In Uchiha Tokumitsu's vision, the laboratory located in the eastern part of the Country of Fire will eventually be relocated to the Country of Whirlpool, and together with the secretly built shipyard, it will form the pillar industry of the Tokumitsu Shogunate.

The Uchiha Fire Gate also established a shogunate with the support of the family and set up its headquarters in Gravel City in the north of the Country of Grass. However, the independence of the shogunate was far less than that of Uchiha Tokumitsu. However, with the further support of the family power and the help of the Tokumitsu Akei Corps stationed in Damingfu, the Country of Grass, the Fire Gate Shogunate not only controlled the Country of Grass, but also began to invade the western part of the Country of Taki and the eastern part of the Country of Rain. regional penetration.

Although Misura Hamaki is the commander of the Western Border Defense Force, his background is just a Konoha civilian. There were not many followers under his command, so he simply voted for the Reform Council, and then formed the shogunate with the support of Hatake Sakumo, and barely controlled the Kawa Country.

Although Sarutobi Shinnosuke is the young leader of the Sarutobi clan, the northern border defense force he is in charge of is stationed in the Land of Fire. Although he also has an assistant officer in the Imperial Household, he cannot control one side like Uchiha Tokumitsu. In addition, His qualifications were insufficient, and Konoha ninjas generally believed that he was just lucky enough to get the title, so he was also ridiculed as a "landless general".

But in any case, the five great generals canonized by the daimyo have alleviated the internal conflicts in Konoha to a certain extent. Some dissidents chose to leave and join the border army shogunate. Although the power of the village headquarters has been weakened to a certain extent, the overall strength of the village The atmosphere is still much more harmonious.

Most of the idle forces of the Uchiha clan were transferred to serve in the two shogunates. The forces left in Konoha were only to maintain the police department and Minagawa Stock Exchange. In addition, the United Fisheries Company and the smuggling business of the Kirigakure ninja clan were in Uchiha. After Tokumitsu got the rank of general, he had an unimpeded life and made a lot of money. Naturally, he had no intention of continuing to tangle with Konoha's insects.

The guardians of the eight eastern counties of the Land of Fire have also become more well-behaved, because Uchiha Tokumitsu had already stationed a squadron of ninjas in each county. After the establishment of the shogunate, he intensified his efforts to upgrade the size of the garrison from a squadron to a detachment. Local control was once again strengthened.

But after the slap, Uchiha Tokumitsu still gave a candy to the guardians of each county.

Uchiha Tokumitsu promised that the garrisoned Ninja Army would never interfere in local government affairs and guaranteed to protect the family's genealogical inheritance. In other words, as long as the current guardian is willing, he can designate any heir as his successor and receive the military support of the Uchiha Ninja Army.

For local guardians, especially for families who are related by marriage to the ministers of the Daming Palace, it is a very troublesome thing to protect the family's inheritance from interference, and the value of this kind of promise given by Uchiha Tokumitsu is more than A hundred thousand gold judgment is even more valuable!

Even the two major ninja clans of Kirigakure, Oniden and Minazuki, were keen on Uchiha Tokimitsu's power, so they sent envoys here to ask Uchiha Tokimitsu for advice on how to establish a shogunate to rule the country.

"We are all members of the Kirigakure Mizukage family, how can we live in depression for a long time! How about we return to the village and encourage the family to seek the title of general outside? Isn't it beautiful to split the soil?"

Ghost Light Masahiko said to Minazuki Chino.

Shuiwuyue Qiannuo also deeply agrees.
